Donald Trump's closing message in the 2024 election is as follows. I am psychotic. How psychotic have I made you, America? I will talk about the genitals of golfers. I will call Americans the enemy from within and say, I will send the military against Americans. I will stand on stage and quack like a duck, but say frack, frack, frack. And I will just see how far can I go? Have I turned America into Trump land where nothing makes sense anymore? Or on the other hand, do Americans still value patriotism, law and order embodied in Vice President Kamala Harris and a bipartisan coalition of law-abiding, constitutional-loving Americans that are assembled to fight for democracy? The contrast could not be more clear and we will break it all down here on the Midas Touch Network. Brett and Jordy,

let me bring you on along with that. Stunt after stunt, Donald Trump goes to a McDonald's, which is closed down for the day because he's been lying that Vice President Kamala Harris did not work at a McDonald's, even though she did work at a McDonald's and her friends have said she works at a McDonald's. So he goes to a closed McDonald's. He pretends he's working the fry machine. And then he pretends he's serving customers who are not customers because it's closed. They're actually his supporters in this staged event, and they pretend that he's, you know, working the machines. Then he goes to a devastation area in North Carolina that was impacted by Hurricane Helene, where a MAGA Republican Congress member awards him the Best Fry Server Award, and gives him a pin where he celebrates winning

in a devastation zone as he shuts down the highways in North Carolina so people couldn't pick up their medication. They couldn't visit family members. First responders couldn't go where they are going. This is the state of the 2024 election. The state of, are we psychotic or are we Americans? Brett and Jordy, those are the stakes, fellas. Yeah, and he's going to get crazy. We said this for months. He's going to get crazier and crazier as we approach election day because there is so

much on the line for him personally in this election. He's not running in this election to run for president. He's quite literally running to avoid prison time in this election. So he's going to continue to ramp up his lies. The disinformation operation that he has is kicked into full gear. He's pulling all these stunts, one more offensive than the next. Like even this McDonald's thing was just wildly offensive to workers. He's almost like mocking workers while he's doing it. And he just continues to spread lie after lie, conspiracy theory. And some of them are just like stupid, like the McDonald's conspiracy theory he has about Kamala Harris is, you know, where he says over and over, she didn't work at McDonald's, even though she did. But the other things that he says are far more dangerous, like when he lies about what's

happening in the wake of a hurricane, a natural disaster, and then people are struggling to get their meds. They're struggling to get gas or water. I mean, this is the havoc that Donald Trump is causing. He is a chaos agent and he brings chaos with him everywhere he goes. And so it's up to Americans right now. Many of you could vote, vote, vote, vote. It's up to you to end the chaos. Jordy, what's new? I'm excited for today's show. I think we just dive right into it. Nothing major on my end. I'm just, Ben, where do we lead off today? Because I just know there's a lot of events that happened over the weekend. Donald Trump spent 15 minutes of a speech in Pennsylvania talking about Arnold Palmer, the late great golfer's genitals.

It was about a 15 minute rant that made no sense at all. And then he said that people would go into the locker room who would compete with Arnold Palmer and they would admire just how large his penis is. And Donald Trump said this is something that everybody needs to hear in the 2024 election. Let's play it. Oh, man, this man was strong and tough. And I refuse to say it. But when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. They said, oh, my God. that's unbelievable i had to say it i had to say we have women that are highly sophisticated here but they used to look at arnold lucifer but he was really we have women who are highly sophisticated here uh in reference to donald trump's talking about arnold pal Palmer's genitals. By the way, Arnold Palmer's daughter came out with a statement and said that my dad didn't like Donald Trump at all. He thought

that Donald Trump was crude and rude and had no moral character. So I'm not sure why you're mentioning his name like that. Then Donald Trump gave another speech where when he was speaking about fracking, rather than actually articulate any sort of policy, he starts making sounds like a duck. And because frack sounds like quack, and Donald Trump is clearly having dementia-like symptoms or full-blown dementia. You could form your own opinion. I'm just giving you my own opinions about what I'm at least observing, whether he has it or not. He starts going frack, frack, frack, like a duck, frack, frack. Here, watch it. So we're going to let him frack, frack, frack, like a duck, frack, frack, frack.

Even the way he says it, he's like, yeah, we're just going to let him. I mean, like, are we even watching there? Then Donald Trump starts posting AI images of himself, which we've seen throughout this campaign. He posts a AI image of himself in a Steelers uniform. Also, the Pittsburgh Steelers legends all came out with statements against Donald Trump and saying that they're supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. We also shared a video of Donald Trump getting booed at the Pittsburgh Steelers game. But Donald Trump, what is he doing? He's going into the AI prompt, make me have big muscles and give me a large, because it's normally very small or always small, make me into a strong person. Who even does anything like that? And it's not funny. Because they want to give this

guy the nuclear codes. As former President Barack Obama said, if your grandparents or just heck anybody in your family behave this way, you'd have to have real serious conversations with other family members about getting this individual emergency care. And one of the symptoms, as I'm sure many of you know who have dealt with family members or people in your lives who have dementia or suffer from serious mental illness, because they can no longer articulate words, they just start cursing. And so we've seen throughout all of Donald Trump's speeches, lots of F-words.

He goes into churches and leads chants of people cursing. And when he's trying to describe Vice President Kamala Harris, what does he immediately do? He starts using curse words and describes her in very crude curse language. Here, play this clip. And this one, Kamala is further left than them. So you have to tell Kamala Harris that you've had enough, that you just can't take it anymore. We can't stand you. You're a shit vice president. You're the worst vice president. Kamala, you're fired. Get the hell out of here. You're fired. So just cursing there. Also, when you note those propaganda networks that bring you those speeches,

you see on the right, they're always selling you some Trump related thing. And usually it's a knife or it's gold or fake gold or whatever it is. And you text Trump to whatever the number is because it's all built on a grip. Then Donald Trump's been going around saying that he's not even close to being 80 years old. Newsflash, Donald Trump is 78 years and some months. So he's about one year, eight months or nine months away. He's in his 79th year. Yeah. From being 80 years old here, he is right here saying that he's not 80 here playing this. Leaders in the world. And I'm not 80 and I'm not that close to 80, but in the Biden case, he's 81 or 82. So then Donald Trump goes to a disaster zone. I mean, are we putting all these pieces together, folks, in North Carolina? Now, to get to this photo op, Donald Trump had to shut down the highways. People in North Carolina right

now are absolutely livid and pissed. There's an entire Reddit board right now of people sharing their stories about how they could not even get to their destinations because Donald Trump wanted a photo op. Now, what was the photo op? Donald Trump encouraging people to attack and kill and harm FEMA employees. Donald Trump blaming FEMA employees for not giving people resources, which is false. Donald Trump blaming migrants for taking away the resources, which is also false. It's so false indeed that a MAGA Republican Congress member, Chuck Edwards, had to put out a statement saying that what Donald Trump is saying is false because his constituents were not applying for the aid they were entitled to get because Trump claimed they could only get $750, which is just the initial payment when

they're entitled to all of these other emergency benefits. So the Congress member representing his constituents had to say Trump is lying. However, what did he have to do to get on Donald Trump's good graces? Because Trump didn't like that. He joined Donald Trump at this photo op, and I kid you not, gave Donald Trump an award. What award, might you ask? An award for Donald Trump being the best employee to use the fry machine at McDonald's based on Donald Trump's PR stunt there. Yes, this is MAGA Republican Congress member Chuck Edwards giving Donald Trump a fake award for using a fry machine.

Play this clip. Offered because, you know, I also own McDonald's restaurants. I know that you perfected your skills behind the counter a day or so ago. And it was my honor to present President Trump with the French fry certification pin. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you very much. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you.

For those listening, he actually gave Donald Trump a fake award. What in the Kim Jong-un is that? And that's why I start off with saying Donald Trump is running a campaign to show that he is actually a psychotic wannabe dictator. And the question is, is America with that? Is that what we've become now because of the both sides media, because of the overwhelming deluge of propaganda, is America's brain as a collective so rotted, that's what's on the ballot, that what I'm just presenting to you makes sense to people. It clearly does to tens of millions of Americans, but is that who we are as Americans? And this is what we'll talk about in a little bit

with Vice President Kamala Harris's coalition of the sane, coalition of the normal, coalition of democracy-loving people who still appreciate logic, common sense, decency, treating people with respect. And for all of the Midas Mighty out there, you know that for the past three and a half years, we've been speaking less about partisan politics and more about core basic values, values of being nice, decent human beings, telling the truth, doing things that are supported by evidence, law and order in its truest sense, accountability. Those things, as we always said, transcend political parties and politics. And I think that's what's on the line right here more than anything. Speaking of which, at Donald Trump's speech, one of the things he always does to try to show that he has support, specifically I have support in the black community, he'll always say,

is he'll bring somebody on stage. The most recent one is like Antonio Brown on stage. He previously brought Lawrence Taylor on stage in Wildwood, New Jersey. Now, Lawrence Taylor is an ex-football player, has been, who actually pled guilty and is a registered sex offender for pleading guilty. And he was recently arrested on a felony warrant. I mean, a registered sex offender is a surrogate who Donald Trump brings on stage to brag about having the support of Black men. And have you even heard that being talked about other than maybe by us when that happened and perhaps a few other independent media outlets? Could you imagine if Vice President Kamala Harris just once, yet alone consistently, brought sex offenders on

stage knowingly to be her surrogates and then said, look, I must have a lot of black support because Lawrence Taylor supports me. Well, Donald Trump brings Antonio Brown on stage. And just a reminder, former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown defends exposing himself to women in a hotel pool. Antonio Brown settles a sexual assault lawsuit with a former trainer. Former NFL star Antonio Brown arrested for allegedly failing to pay child support. He went through about $80 million he ran through before becoming financially in deep, deep trouble. And then he also kicked off being on, he was kicked off the Bucs after a shirtless tantrum and defended his conduct there. So I guess he

makes the perfect Trump surrogate right there. Oh, and guess what he's there to do? Sell things. The MAGA coin. Have you heard about the MAGA coin, everybody? I kid you not. Antonio Brown, everybody. Play it. Shout out to the MAGA coin and the greatest president coin going, a MAGA coin. Have you guys ever seen a MAGA movie? Make some noise if you've seen a MAGA movie. A MAGA movie, a MAGA coin. I didn't even, what are these people even talking about here? And then Donald Trump posts the following. This is from Donald Trump. He posts, January 6th will go down in the history as the day the government staged a

riot to cover up the fact that they certified a fraudulent election. Just take a look up top. You see this is a Donald Trump post. So Donald Trump is saying January 6th is the day the government staged a riot. Donald Trump was the government. The Trump administration was in power at that time. Donald Trump appointed the FBI director, Christopher Wray, a lifelong Republican. That's what took place. And here he is spreading the most heinous lies about January 6th. And a little bit later in the show, I will show you when Donald Trump's asked by Fox,

and he keeps on saying this over and over again, that January 6th was a great day. He goes, it was a day of love with the biggest audiences ever, and people had the best time on January 6th. So I go back to where we started today's episode. Donald Trump is running a campaign on being an actual wannabe dictator psychopath. And the question, ladies and gentlemen of America, is the United States of America a psychotic, destroyed nation? Has the collective brains rotted so much that this is a reality right now. Because I'll tell you,

our international audience is wondering what the hell happened to the United States of America. You know how Donald Trump talks about, oh, the laughing stock. Oh, no. Right now with this crap, the world is both laughing and freaking horrified that this could take place here. How in the world could this happen in these United States of America? Brett, Jordy. I said this online over the weekend, but this election truly is a cognitive test for the United States of America, if you think about it. I mean, we are really going to see what the American people want. And I see such incredible energy out there for democracy. When I see the folks lining

up at these Vice President Harris rallies, the energy is electric, bigger than ever. Her rallies are filled with joy. They're filled with actual policy proposals. She's been hitting the circuit, doing these various town halls. She's been doing all these interviews on all sorts of shows, really spanning the spectrum of demographics and medium, whether it's podcasts or radio or television, whatever. She is putting in the work. And I see the American people putting in the work as I am sent videos and I'm looking through TikTok and I'm speaking to people out there who are knocking on doors. All the feedback that I'm getting out there is extremely positive.

But now's the time you got to be stepping on the gas and it's got to be all gas, no breaks from now until election day, because every single vote this election is going to matter. Every single vote is going to count. So you better make sure that you get your ballots in and you get your ballots in early. Part of Donald Trump's strategy always in 2020, same thing. And this was the Republican strategy in 2022. Their strategy is always to make it feel inevitable, right? They want to demoralize you. They want to make it seem like he is this all powerful guy and there's nothing you could

do to stop him. But guess what? He said that in 2020, we stopped them, right? He said that in 2022, there was going to be this massive red wave. Never happened. They bluster. They put all this stuff out there into the world. And it is fake, like 99.9999999999% of the time.

And so you have to realize that they're doing the same things right now. I'm not sure if you've caught Ben's interviews recently with Simon Rosenberg and Tom Bonior, who have broken down some of the early voting data, much of which is very promising. In some states, you see a little bit of a lag, but it's still very early and you can't derive so much from everything just yet. But when you look at that early voting data, when you see that we are breaking records, when you see the energy and enthusiasm, you see that democracy certainly has a good shot of winning. It's just a matter of us continuing to get out there and put in the work and do everything that, by the way, the Trump campaign is not doing. Harris's campaign is out-raising Donald Trump, out-spending Donald Trump, has an actual ground game that's

knocking on doors, that's turning out lower propensity voters. Those are voters who may not vote as often as usual. And so that's the kind of work that needs to be done to win these things. That's exactly the kind of work that is happening. And so it's just the rates to the finish line at this point. You're so right, Brett, because the campaigns truly can't be more different, right? You have the Harris Walls campaign that's actually putting in the work, right? From the canvassers that you see everywhere, from the mailers, from the fundraising, from how they're deploying their dollars in a truly strategic way to maximize their airtime, to where Harris and Walls are showing up in the different mediums that you talked about.

It's so clear that one campaign is extraordinarily competent. And to that same effect, the other campaign, the Trump campaign, is super incompetent. And in my heart of hearts, I truly believe that actually putting in the work is going to matter in the long run. Shocker, right Ben? Well, look, Donald Trump is the ultimate stress test on our institutions, our courts, and the Supreme Court has not passed that stress test. Our Supreme Court has failed us, I want to be very clear, in making a finding of absolute monarchical immunity. So I guess when they called themselves conservative, what they've meant all

of this time is conserving the monarchy. Now, fortunately, our institutions held in 2020 when Trump filed all of those lawsuits, when Donald Trump tried an insurrection. But let's be very clear, the stress test continued thereafter. The January 6th coup was not limited to January 6th. Every single day thereafter, Donald Trump has been continuing it with the support of the Republican Party that's gone full MAGA. The Republican Party has not passed the stress test. They've gone full MAGA. At every step, they had the opportunity to actually put in charge actual leaders as well, who would have been very popular too. And they may have more seats in Congress. They may be even more competitive, but they chose a dictator. They said, you know what? Our ideology

doesn't matter no more. We are going to give our entire agency to Donald J. Trump, and they became the MAGA party. They didn't hold. A lot of state legislatures failed the stress test. But a lot of the media clearly failed the stress test. But in its shadows or in its destruction or ashes, rather, what's been able to grow are networks like this and Americans who know why we fought and won World War II and why we fought in World War I and why America, for all its imperfections, is a beacon of hope across the world. We want to preserve and defend that.

And we will rebuild institutions, strengthen it, and work together in a bipartisan way right now. And I'm not talking about the MAGAs who would sell us out to Vladimir Putin or to the highest bidder. We're talking about classic Republicans joining with Democrats, progressive joining with classic conservatives, and independents, and us saying we are not going back. Where does Donald Trump want to take us back? Well, after the break, I'll show you. Donald Trump in his speeches too, in his closing message says, we literally saying we need to go back to 1798. He said, that's when things were good, right? For people going, what do you mean great again? Tell me when's great. He gave you a date, 1798, where hundreds of millions of Americans couldn't vote, where there was slavery,

at a time where Donald Trump cites the Alien Enemies Act, where people could be rounded up and to put in camps on the basis of ethnicity and ancestry. And Ben, just for a second, let's think about the differences in the campaign messaging right there. We got one candidate, we are not going back. And then we have one candidate saying we need to go back to the 1700s. I mean, the difference could not be starker. It's not even like Trump is pretending at this point. Trump is telling you exactly what he wants to do. And Vice President Harris is telling her her vision. And so it's up to the American people to decide, do you actually want to go back to the 1700s with all those horrible things that Ben is talking about? Or do you want to move past this lunacy of Donald Trump,

this endless corrupt cycle of these billionaires who think they could buy our elections, buy our politicians, buy our media, do all of this crap. That is the choice in this election. Look, America is the envy of the world. And right now in terms of this MAGA stuff, like in terms of the economy, right? The Economist recent cover is that everybody's trying to play catch up right now. Fastest growing GDP, the most oil production right now, wages are rising, a manufacturing boom taking place right now. And they want to take us back to 1798. And there's millions of Americans who are like, yeah, 1798.

Anyway, we'll talk about this and more. Let's take our first quick break of the show. What does the future hold for business? Ask nine experts and you'll get 10 answers. Bull market, bear market.

Could I read this email we just got earlier from a follower, Midas Mighty, voted early in Texas?

I just want to share this because I want to show you the dedication that our followers are putting in. And it shouldn't take this long. Let me just say that off the bat. But this person said they waited four hours in line in Texas to vote and they could not be happier that they did it. Hey guys, I made it voted on day one of early elections in Texas, long line around the block meant it took four hours. I used my time well, loudly playing MTN videos, MSNBC, IHOP, more MTN. I had a podcast. I love that. A guy that stood ahead of me was proudly wearing a Trump shirt. I'm not even sure if you can necessarily

do that at the polls. I wore the blue MTN's make attorneys get attorneys hats and the maya culpa shirt of Trump behind bars. In short order, the Trump supporter took off his t-shirt, flipped it inside out. I thought that was interesting. I guess he wasn't that proud of his choice. And I have a picture, which I haven't been authorized to share, so I'm not going to. But I love getting these stories from folks out there who voted and love seeing the Midas Mighty representing. So that's really cool. And I hope it inspires you to vote early if you haven't voted early yet. I submitted my ballot over the weekend. It was easy. Mail drop box. I said it before. I'll say it again. The Midas Mighty, you can actually be the difference

in this election. You could be the reason that democracy is saved. One of the best ways you can do that is just by helping people vote early. It's one of the most important things you can do. When people vote early, their names get taken off the get out the vote rolls. So it allows the party to then identify lower propensity voters to try to get them rather than chase you or whoever is going to vote anyway if you vote early. So it's one of the best ways that you can help. And so just make sure that people that you know are registered to vote. There are lots of deadlines like that approaching. Like for all of our friends in Pennsylvania, today was the last day to register to vote. So if you're watching this on the live, make sure if you're in Pennsylvania,

you're registered. And if you have people who live in Pennsylvania, now would be the time if you're watching this live on Monday to call and say, hey, you registered because the deadline's after today. You can't register. And then have anybody that you know vote early. Tell them to have a plan. Reach out to grandkids, kids, cousins, nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, whoever. That's the best way you can help. There's millions of people who watch these shows. And if we channel that to action, it will be the factor. So please, if you can, all right, because I'll tell you the stakes,

Donald Trump's going around as part of his campaign, attacking generals over and over again, his own generals, and saying that they're stupid, they're stupid people. And he always attacks like his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. But he attacks his own, you know, pretty much any person who worked for him in the military, all of his people, who you say are the best people, he attacks them. Here he is in a speech attacking General Milley. Play it. These stupid people like Milley, General Milley. Remember his performance in Congress, General Milley and Mattis, all these guys, what a bunch of lightweights. But we have-

A bunch of lightweights, Mattis, Milley, they worked for you. I remember Donald Trump's like, I got mad dog. Remember those days? And then they wouldn't execute unlawful orders. So remember I was talking about the stress test before? Yeah, Donald Trump tried to use our military in ways that the military said no. And now Donald Trump goes around calling them stupid and his MAGA followers behind him clap at that. And then Fox and RSPN and all of these other propaganda networks then put that out there as though that's some normal behavior. And then corporate media, both sides, the issues, and they're like, oh, it was a very energetic speech by Donald Trump. He spoke about the great Arnold Palmer. Yeah, about Arnold Palmer's penis. That's what he was speaking about. You may want to finish that sentence, corporate media, about what he was doing up there

for 15 minutes. You may want to talk about him quacking like a duck. Can you imagine if Vice President Kamala Harris, here Brett, let's do a Vice President Kamala Harris clip right now. Let's do the clip where Vice President Kamala Harris says, you know, Donaldently, she just started going, I mean, imagine if that's what, you know, and then, and then they wrote, oh, and she energized the crowd with the pet like noises that were being made. It's like, no, the moment she meowed once I'd be done. I don't care. I mean, I don't know what I would do, but I'd be like, I would say that's crazy. That's absolutely crazy. You've got Donald Trump, frack, frack, frack. And then there, and no one's like talking about it. You know, it's me and my two younger brothers in this community and, and, and the broader Midas Mighty Network. That's like, Hey, that's freaking weird. And by the way, the people know it's weird. That's why Midas Touch

Network's growing so much because people just want to be like, yeah, okay, I'm not alone here. That stuff's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy. And it's crazy that corporate media gaslights us into making it sound like that's conservative. That ain't conservative. That's weird, crazy, and dangerous. Here's Vice President Kamala Harris talking about Donald Trump's weave, the weave, which is really just, in my opinion, dementia-like symptoms. Play the clip. And now he's ducking debates and canceling interviews because of exhaustion. And when he does answer a question or speak at a rally, have you noticed he tends to go off script and ramble?

And generally for the life of him, cannot finish a thought. And he has called it the weave. But I think we here will call it nonsense. Then Donald Trump goes on Fox, and then he gives this interview on one of the morning shows where he talks about how and he's asked like the Fox is trying to help him. They want to help him win undecided voters because I think they know that there is a block of undecided voters. A lot of them are Nikki Haley voters. They're trying to help Donald Trump clarify his statements because they are a propaganda arm. So they go, do you really want to call January 6th like a great day? Because that may rub some Americans the wrong way.

Watch Donald Trump's response. Let's play it. The other day you called it a day of love. That sparked a lot of reaction, given that many police officers were attacked and there were mobs shouting, hang Mike Pence. Can you understand why many Americans would view it as a dark and tragic day in our history? The crowd I spoke before, which you rarely see, I have pictures of it, massive, but nobody wants to put them in, was the biggest crowd I've ever spoken to. And I've spoken to the biggest crowds. I've never seen that many people, a small group of them. And, you know, peacefully and patriotically, which nobody uses. My words were peacefully and patriotically. A small group went down to the Capitol, but they came they came because

they thought it was a rigged election. It was this was a protest against a rigged election. This was a protest against a rigged election. And I can't say exactly the number, but I've had massive crowds, and this was by far the biggest crowd. I've spoken to the crowd at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. On the 4th of July, this crowd was bigger. And I tell you, there was a beauty to it and there was a love to it that I've never seen before.

A small group of people went down to the Capitol and then a lot of strange things happened. A lot of strange things happened. It was a small group of people, like thousands of people have pled guilty. They didn't just think it was rigged. Notice how he's throwing his own supporters under the bus there as well. It's like they just thought it was rigged. I wonder where they got that idea from. Maybe it's the fact that to this day, you and your MAGA people are out there telling people that it was rigged, that it was a rigged deal, that it was unfair, that you didn't really lose, and that you did not support a peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. Fox has that chyron there. Donald Trump stands by J6, a day of love, in a very small writing. It's like, despite it being a violent day. Okay. January 6th is one of the most disgraceful days in American history, period, full stop. If you can't say that, you should not be eligible to

run for the presidency. And guess what? The founders knew that. Speaking about the stress test, our founders knew that. There's something called, and I know with all of this news, maybe this one gets buried right now, but in the 14th Amendment, Section 3, if you are an insurrectionist, you are barred from running. But guess what? Well, the Colorado Supreme Court read the words, and the Supreme Court's always said they're textualists. Well, when the text doesn't align with what their view of a monarchy should be, the right-wing Supreme Court is, oh, that's not what they actually meant. The 14th Amendment Section 3 doesn't really say what it actually says. We're good with insurrectionists. And he's out there right now on cable news, on speeches,

just praising an insurrection right now as part of his closing message. And the fact that that's not on front page of every media network or every newspaper every single day. And again, pull up the post that he made where he said that January 6th was a staged riot by the government. Trump posted this two days ago to cover up the fact that they certified a fraudulent election. I ask you again, if Vice President Kamala Harris made one post like that, one post like that, would it be not just front page news, but every op-ed, every single page would be devoted to calling for her to immediately drop out. So why do we have these double standards? Let me give you another one. We talked at the beginning about Donald Trump going into this McDonald's. He closed it down. He staged this event. Could you imagine if Vice President Kamala Harris, though,

tried to do an event like that and she dressed up like that, and then she was asked a basic question about the minimum wage, and she refused to answer the question, and she didn't use any of the kind of proper health and safety measures when you actually are at a restaurant? I mean, just think about that. Don't you think the front page story would have been what a disastrous event that was? But no, the corporate media acts like this McDonald's, brilliant McDonald's event. That was such a, I mean, a lot of them, they were just going to go with that this was open, he was serving the stuff. And that's why we have to call them out at every step of the way. No, it was not brilliant. And by the way, the key issue there as well is that

remember in 2016, Donald Trump's false promise, Donald Trump said that he would support raising the minimum wage. Guess what? When he was in office, he didn't support raising the minimum wage. To all my people in Nevada, by the way, you know, Donald Trump's lies about no tax on tips. You know how I know it was a lie? Because guess what? Donald Trump was once in office. You know what Donald Trump's actual policy was? You want to know all the people living in Nevada? No tips. Guess where your tips go?

To your boss. Donald Trump's rule that he wanted his labor secretary to pass is that your tips get stolen by your boss. So I guess you don't get taxed on tips that don't exist. Go Google it. Research what Donald Trump's policy was. You know how it blocked? You know how it got stopped? Because Democrats put in an omnibus bill language that blocked that from taking place. Otherwise, you would have lost all

of your tips. That was Donald Trump's actual policy. So he goes around like the Pied Piper of scamming you. And are you going to fall for it in each and every place that you go? You know, he's laughing at you. You know, when he goes back to Mar-a-Lago, he quite literally laughs and mocks you. He thinks you are stupid. He says that. He goes to Mar-a-Lago, he goes, all my rich people, I'm going to make you so much richer. I'm going to make you so much richer. And he's up there on stage quacking like a duck. And again, if you had a family member, friend, coworker, or anybody behave like that, they started quacking. They said, what's your policy on fracking? What is your policy?

And they did that. You'd see that they need serious, seriously help. So wake up America right now because we've got about two weeks or less than two weeks before this election and our entire United States of America is on the line. Let's take our last quick break of the show. Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. Hey, I gotta be honest with myself, right? It feels like I have to choose between having a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre-alcohol.

Z-Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's the blame for your rough next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make Z-Biotics your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. For example, after a fun night out with friends at like a local bar or wherever we go, I could still get up the next morning and hit the gym. And I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but I tried it at a dinner party with some friends. The next morning, I felt great, ready to tackle the day, ready to do more videos here at the Midas Touch Network. I kept hearing about pre-alcohol and wondered what it was actually like. Now that I've tried it, I get the hype. Plus with their GMO technology, Zbiotics is continuing to create probiotics that tackle the challenges of modern living.

Great read. Big fans of these sponsors, brothers. Links in the description for all those. And, and yeah, you guys were premiering a movie after this. And so I'm actually very excited about this.

I hope that all of you are able to join. What's going to happen, the movie is called For Our Daughters. It's only like 29 minutes or so. So it's not a large amount of time for you to be watching. It's a great short documentary, basically about how a lot of these evangelical churches around the country have become kind of taken under the spell of MAGA. And it's about how to get them back to the actual teachings of the church. It's really an incredibly powerful, poignant film. And I hope you were able to join us to watch this movie.

Here's what you do. If you are watching us on YouTube live right now, after this, it should redirect you automatically to the movie. If it does not, here's what you could do. Go to our YouTube channel, just hit the Midas touch page. There is a section on the top of our channel page that says Midas studios, and you'll see the movie right there. It's called For Our Daughters. So you just click For Our Daughters. You could hit the notify me button, or you could just keep the page open,

go over there after For Our Daughters, check it out. If you're listening to this on audio or watching this after the fact, not live, don't worry. You could still do the same exact thing. Go to our channel page, go there, watch it now. I promise you, you will enjoy it. It is powerful. And with these movies, we're like, we need to get these out there in these last few days of the election. We need to make sure as many people as possible see it. So if you like it, hit the thumbs up, leave a comment, share it with folks, make sure as many people as possible see these things, Ben. We're building out Minus Movie Studios. And one of the things that we've identified is that there's so many great projects out there that just can't find distribution.

So to use our platform to help these great filmmakers and writers get their work out in front of people, we're going to be doing that from now until the election and thereafter. These are really good movies that you might see on a Netflix or a Hulu, but they're, I think, a little nervous to play these videos because they think, oh, it's too political or all of that. By the way, that's something that we heard early on when we were first creating the network. But if you build it, they will come. The next film we're going to be showing is one called Fight Like Hell, the untold story of January 6th, which we're going to be premiering here as well on the Midas Touch Network.

So get ready for all of that. Let's talk about Donald Trump's other stunt that he did today and the fallout from it's becoming a major, major story. I'll do a whole hot take on this as well. But Donald Trump went to one of the disaster sites from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina so that he can get another photo op there. Remember, immediately after the hurricane, while people were still in search and rescue mode, Donald Trump did this. Remember, they had him build a podium around him with the bricks of a store that was just destroyed. And that was actually stopping

resources from getting to people in need. And then Donald Trump began right away, as soon as the hurricane hit, unprecedented in American politics. Because usually we come together when it's things like disasters. We don't usually politicize that. Donald Trump said that all of the aid was going to migrants and that's why people would not be getting aid and that all they would be entitled to receive is $750, which is 100% false. We had the head of FEMA PR, the main communications director of FEMA on here, who explained in detail all of the programs that the $750 is just an immediate kind of no questions asked payment, just get you money right away. But then people were entitled to all sorts of relief to make sure that you get the

emergency aid that you need, the long-term aid that you need, things to rebuild your business, things to give you immediate relief as well. There's a huge package of relief that people were entitled to, but Donald Trump was spreading lies. So people didn't even know that they could get these things because Donald Trump was preventing the accurate information from getting out, also preventing quite literally medicine from getting in, aid from getting in, people to be transported. Because Donald Trump, rule 101 in these emergencies is you do not make yourself the story if you are distracting from emergency relief. That's why President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris don't immediately go into disaster zones. I'm sure they want to be with the people, but they have an entire team of Secret Service and

other people, and that could stop people from getting life-saving care. Trump doesn't give a crap about people. When will you learn that? Because that's been his entire life story. He doesn't give a crap. I mean, we showed you video just even what last week when Donald Trump was giving a speech. I think it was also in Pennsylvania and there was no air conditioning and people were screaming, medic, medic, medic, because there was no AC. And he was just kind of watching them. And that's when he was like, you know what? While you all are suffering, let's listen to the YMCA. Let me bob my head while people were screaming, medic, turn on the AC, because he doesn't give a crap about people. That's a microcosm of it,

but it's everything he does. So Donald Trump goes back there today and he creates a mess. Roads are shut down. Highways are shut down. People are like, what's going on? Why can't we get to where we need to go? But Trump is in town. And what's he doing? He holds this press conference and he's asked a question about, hey, you realize that because of your lies, people who work at FEMA are in hiding because people, your followers, are trying to kill them and threatening them. And Trump's like, well, they should know how people feel about them. Here, play this clip.

President Trump, an armed gunman was arrested and charged in making threats against FEMA workers two Saturdays ago. FEMA had a safety stand down because of the incredible threats. Is it helping the recovery effort in North Carolina to keep making these claims that FEMA's not doing their job? Well, I think you have to let people know how they're doing. If they were doing a great job, I think we should say that, too, because I think they should be rewarded. But if they're not doing, does that mean that if they're doing a poor job, we're supposed to not say it?

These people are entitled to say it. And these are honest people behind this. If FEMA were doing well, they would be saying they did a good job. They're not, for the most part, political people. For the most part, they're not political people. But you've obviously seen nothing but, you know, very bad statements coming out about the job that FEMA and this administration has done having to do with this area, North Carolina as a whole. And by the way, other states also. They're also complaining.

But look, a lot of the money is gone. They don't have any money. They have to have they have to have a meeting in Washington, a special meeting in Washington to get money. It's all gone. They've spent it on illegal migrants. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are drug dealers. Many of them come out of mental institutions and insane asylums. And many of them are terrorists. And they spent money to bring these people into our country. And they don't have money to take care of the people from North Carolina and other states. So, you know, I think you have to be able to speak. Does that mean let's not talk about it? Because by doing that, they'll do a better job the next time. It's very important.

Yeah, one more question. Yeah, everything he said there is absolutely false, including the fact that these are not political people. You quite literally have MAGA politicians standing behind you, who, by the way, when they were not behind you, had to post that FEMA actually is doing a good job. Here are the resources that you're entitled to. But now they're there giving you awards for spending five minutes in a closed down McDonald's. But this is what Donald Trump does with everything. He politicizes everything and tries to rip us apart, divide Americans against themselves. And then he's always like

self-referential. You see all of the reports out there. They're reporting on the false stuff that you are saying. And then Donald Trump goes, well, I'm just citing the reports. The reports are the lies that you and MAGA are spreading. And then you're like, I'm just a reporter. I'm just out there just saying what's out there. No, you're the one spreading it. You are the main source of disinformation. And let's just say what it is, lies, lies that kill people. You kill people every day, Donald Trump, with your lies and with the things that you do. So also Donald Trump, he talked about this today. He basically took credit for killing the bipartisan border deal. Again, we know he killed the bill because he said, kill the bill. He said the bipartisan border deal shouldn't be killed.

Why? Because the same way Donald Trump wants to run on pitting Americans against Americans by stopping and preventing people from getting relief that they need in a hurricane and lying to them and preventing people from accessing the resources that they're entitled to get. And FEMA is doing a great job. The Republican governors in all of the states are saying FEMA is doing a great job. But Donald Trump wants to make people suffer. Because when people suffer, when people are vulnerable, that's when predators can take advantage of people the most.

That's why you look at the elderly communities, often the number one victims of con artists and scams. Why? Because often they're in vulnerable positions. People who just suffer disasters or trauma are often targeted by con artists and scammers. Written large, that's right out of the authoritarian playbook. The people like Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-un, you make your people suffer. Because if your people suffer, they're confused, they're hungry, they're desperate, and you can prey on them. And that's exactly what Donald Trump does. We would write our State Department and our defense apparatus, when they would write their foreign policy memos about dictators, it would be stuff like that, how they take advantage of their own people suffering

while these authoritarians build themselves palaces. And then what do they do? They would blame America or blame all these other countries for the suffering of their people. That's actually what Donald Trump does right out of the authoritarian playbook. And then people need to access good, clean, accurate data. And Donald Trump's creates such confusion. And now you add Elon Musk to that apparatus. You add all this billionaire, oligarchical people who want to control people and make themselves get more money. It creates all of this confusion.

Let me just read for you, though, what people in North Carolina are saying. This is someone who was there. I've now heard from multiple people who were unable to make it to doctor's appointments to get water distribution sites or lost transportation options for the day because of Trump's stunt. It's always about him and him only. Hope traffic gets back open as he exits. Asheville resident here to explain how pissed off the whole city is right now. Since Trump has closed down our busiest highways, um, 20, they go on the highway. 26 is so bad on the South side in Hendersonville road is locked up all the way from exit 44 to Fletcher, um, Ingalls.

That's over three miles. Worst traffic I've seen all for that dork to get stroked off by his cult followers at a photo op and repeat the same female lies. We had been staying off the roads but had an appointment. We had an abandoned at less than 10 minutes from home, and it took almost two hours to reroute just to get back home. I kept wondering what would happen if an ambulance had to get through. Absolutely disgusting. And someone else goes, I was visiting Pennsylvania the week before last when he did his rally in Scranton. I kid you not, they were using dump trucks to block exits off the highway to help the flow of traffic. I don't know if that's normal or if they choose dump trucks at some sort of funny slight. All I know is I

couldn't think of a better vehicle used to welcome a dumpster fire to town. Remember, in Scranton as well, that's where Donald Trump dressed up individuals behind him like firefighters to pretend that they were Scranton firefighters and lie that he has their endorsement. And then the firefighter union had to say, no, we don't know who those people are, and they're not even firefighters. But then you take a look at the more macro level as well. Donald Trump's out there saying he does not believe in climate change. He says climate change is a hoax. He says nobody talks about it anymore. Yes, we do. Lots of people talk about what its realities are and how devastating it is. And then he says also, if anything, you're going to get

more beachfront property. No, you won't in general, but that makes no sense. If the water overruns the beach, your entire city will be underwater. That's actually what goes down. But who goes around spreading these lies? Oh, wait a minute. The same person who said that COVID was a hoax right away. And he said, like a miracle, COVID was just going to go away. You don't have to do anything. One of the things that I like former President Barack Obama talking about, but corporate media networks needed to, and they failed miserably in that stress test I was talking about earlier, to speak with clarity, former President Barack Obama said we handed Donald Trump the entire playbook of how you deal with a pandemic, specifically how you interact with governors, what you do with

schools, how we address it, how we can deal with the contagion in foreign countries before it gets here, how we can prepare people, how we can develop vaccines early on, a detailed playbook that Donald Trump quite literally, literally shredded on day one in office. He shredded it. And so when you want to talk about lockdowns, those were all Trump lockdowns because no one knew what the hell to do because there was absolutely zero leadership except him lying and saying, like a miracle, it's going to go away. And that's his view about climate change. Like a miracle, it's going to go away. And that's his view about climate change. Like a miracle, it's all going to go away. It's not even real. The

whole thing's a hoax. BS. It is real. It is a serious issue that needs to be confronted. I think about dictators, for example, and I remember in the early stages of when HIV was first being understood, that there would be all of these dictators who would pretend that it wasn't a real thing. And they would say, no, it's not happening. It can't happen to anybody. And they would lie about the data. They would say there shouldn't be testing. That's Donald Trump's, it's a dictator's mindset to just lie rather than address the problem because the problem you believe is an affront to your intelligence versus something that needs to be solved with a team of people. You take offense to the very thing existing because you're insulted by it versus recognizing

that in life, there are problems. There are going to be problems that arise in every presidential administration throughout history that will always be the case. You know why? That's called life. And what you do is you have to address the problems. So you try to put people in positions who can help solve the problems, people with experience, people who surround themselves with intelligence, other people, people who speak in facts, people who test hypotheses, people who are decent, people who share compassion. That is what we should be looking for. But no, the corporate media wants to do this like a horse race.

They want to act like, oh, this person's up one. Oh, this person's up one. Oh, well, here it goes. It's closer. This person's up one. How about you just freaking report what is happening? How about you just speak with moral clarity? How about you just say, you know what?

My job isn't to parrot lies. If I am being BS'd, I'm going to say that is a lie and I'm going to call it out for the dangers that it poses. That's what the fourth estate should be about. And that's what we're trying to build here and continue to build at the Midas Touch people to address it. That doesn't also mean though that you fundamentally have to abandon economic expansion. Not at all. In fact, a lot of the great job growth here has actually come from green jobs. And I know MAGA's want to go, the green scam, the green scam. Tell that to people in Michigan who are now working in factories that were shut down before because America was not leading on these issues and not leading in innovation on these issues. Brett and I, we were in Colorado where because of the Infrastructure Act, we saw the expansion of when Donald Trump goes, all these windmills. We saw wind power actually creating jobs in America.

And it's not just the wind power itself. It's the transport. It's all of the industry that builds around it. And it's actually employing people. And it's helpful to the country. We've seen all of that in play. But no matter what it is, Donald Trump will take the choice to inflict harm. We talk about the bipartisan border deal. Donald Trump wanted to cause chaos. He didn't want it solved. The Republicans don't want it solved. Why? So that they could complain about it and turn every issue into blaming migrants for everything, because they can't come up with a plan. They don't want to come up with a plan. So it is a convenient scapegoat for them. But that's

the scapegoat of authoritarians forever. I mean, here, I think Donald Trump, we have the clip of him. I have dozens of clips where he says he killed the bipartisan border deal and blame him. I'll just show you the one he did in the past day where he goes, oh, that means I have a lot of power, I guess. I like when people say that. I got power. You're playing this clip. And so they tightened it up a little bit. Oh, look, our numbers are a little bit better. Look. Oh, Trump stopped the bill. He told the Senate. Ted, did I ever tell you not to sign that bill? No. Right. I didn't tell anybody. But they like that Trump stopped. I sort of like it gives you such power. You know, you come from Queens and now I'm calling.

You will not sign that bill, senators. You are not. They have me calling up. You will not sign that bill. Actually, I like that sort of maybe I should go along with that story. That's something nobody's had that kind of power at a long time, right? Yeah, quite literally, James Lankford, the Republican senator, said that he got a phone call on behalf of Donald Trump's proxy

at Fox News who said, you have to kill the border deal or we will destroy your career. A conservative Republican senator from Oklahoma, okay, who said that that bipartisan border deal would have been helpful to Americans,

but Donald Trump killed that border deal. And folks, as we go through everything that happened today from the insane, the psycho, the dangerous, it's so that you know the stakes in this election. And I hope you are informed by this episode. And I hope that what we can continue to build together is something generational. It's not just, hey, oh, we have the election here. No, we need to build something for 2040. We need to build something that's going to live far beyond all of us. We need to give future generations a better future, frankly. And that starts with facts and the truth and honesty and decency. And that's what's on the ballot. It's not necessarily, you know, oh, this party,

that party. It's moral clarity. It's moral character right now. So we'll leave you with that. Brett, as Brett mentioned, we've got the premiere of the movie that's about to start right now. We're excited to share that with all of you. Tell us what you think about the growth of the Midas Movie Studios that we're developing. So excited, the projects that we even have planned for 2025.

I really want to see everybody now that I'm back with the baby here and things are a little bit, a little more sleepless nights, but you know, oh yeah. Maybe why don't we do this because we're doing the movie. We don't need to do an after show today. Why don't, why don't, we'll do a forum on Patreon so people can tell us what they thought about the movie and we can have a chat about the movie on Patreon. Let's do that.
