Its purported purpose was for Donald Trump to announce a military invasion of Memphis. Donald Trump then talked about a number of other topics. Let's go through this incredibly deranged press conference where Donald Trump looked very

sleepy and sickly and unwell. Here, Donald Trump was asked if American flags should also be lowered for the former Speaker of the House in Minnesota, Melissa Hortman, and her husband who were killed in a political assassination over the summer by a Republican. Donald Trump says he doesn't even know who Melissa Hortman is. He goes, who? I'm not familiar with that person. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, in retrospect, in retrospect, given all of the moving ways that this White House

has a tribute to Charlie Kirk, do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags to have staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota, House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin as well i'm not familiar of the the minnesota house speaker a democrat who was assassinated this summer well if the governor had asked me to do that i would have done that but the governor of minnesota didn't ask me i didn't uh i wouldn't have thought of that but i would have if somebody had asked me people make requests for the lowering of flag and oftentimes you have to say no because it would be a lot of lowering the flag would never be up Had the governor of Minnesota asked me to do that, I would have done that gladly.

It should be noted that Donald Trump and MAGA leaders spread deranged conspiracies when Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, that it was the fault of Governor Walls and the left as well, despite it being a political assassination by a Republican there. Then Donald Trump said that he would not speak to Governor Walls at all because he says, Governor Walls is a mess. Why would I reach out to Governor Walls, the governor of the state, where that political assassination took place. Donald Trump then talks about a protest that took place while he was at a Joe's seafood restaurant near the White House recently. Donald Trump says that the protester

was saying something about Palestine. And Trump's like, I should win awards for that. What do they talk about? I should win awards for what's happening in Palestine right now. And then Donald Trump says, we're going after the professional agitators. She was a pro. She was a pro. And they were booing her. No, they were booing you, Donald, as well. Here, watch this. And a woman, in many cases, women, you can see, they're professional agitators. I had one the other night. I had four the other night, all in one group, total phonies.

I started to scream when I got into a restaurant, oh, you know, something with Palestine. And I said, well, I'm doing a great job for peace in the Middle East. I should get lots of awards for that, right? With the Abraham Accords and everything else. but a woman just stood up in such screaming. And she got booed out of the place, too. The people, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. I went there to show how safe, and it was safe.

I mean, the woman is just a mouthpiece. Well, she was a paid agitator. And you have a lot of them. And I've asked Pam to look into that in terms of RICO, bringing RICO cases against a criminal RICO, because they should be put in jail. What they're doing to this country is really subversive. Donald Trump is then asked.

if he can provide proof that yet another fishing boat that was shot down by the United States military today off the coast of Venezuela were, quote, narco terrorists. Remember that Donald Trump previously killed. He claimed 11 individuals on a fishing boat a little while ago. He claimed they were narco terrorists coming to the United States. Marco Rubio previously said they were going to Trinidad. Well, Trump did that again today. He destroyed another shipping boat off the of the coast of Venezuela, a very small shipping boat. And here Donald Trump responds and says, we have the proof. Didn't you see all of the white stuff that was in the water? All of that was the cocaine. All of that was the cocaine. Here, play this clip. Thank you very much.

On Venezuela. Let's turn out on Israel. First on Venezuela, what can you tell us about this Venezuelan boat that was taken out? And do you plan to provide proof that these were narco-terrorists who were on the way to the U.S.? Well, we have proof. What you have to do is look at the cargo that was like it's spattered all over the ocean big bags of cocaine and fentany all over the place and it was plus we have recorded evidence that they were leaving we've recorded them they were very careful because we know you people would be after us were very careful the military has been amazing and general cane showed me a little while ago the clip but you could actually see it but you don't have to see it because we have recorded proof and evidence we know we know

what time they were leaving, when they were leaving, what they had, and all of the other things that you'd like to have. And again, what, every week, Donald Trump's just going to post ISIS-style execution videos. He plays this video of the United States military, just killing people, playing judge, jury, and executioner. And if this is really Trend Deiragwa involved, they're known for human trafficking. How do you know they're not human trafficking people and you're killing innocent people? How do you know that they weren't fishermen on that boat? How do you know any of that? And they don't provide any transparency at all.

Trump just post the ISIS-style bloody death videos on his social media account. Then Donald Trump is asked a like a leading question by one of the people there. Like so, will you be designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization? Antifa isn't some organized group called Antifa with like a leadership structure. It's an expression meaning what being anti-fascist? And then Donald Trump talks about, I'm going to be going after all of these groups. We're doing criminal RICO against the leftist groups. And by the way, this is how Trump and MAGA intend to use the death of Charlie Kirk, the killing of Charlie Kirk, by a 22 year old white guy from a MAGA Republican family in order to attack the left and go after Democrats.

But have nothing to do with this. It was a radicalized, radicalized on the internet, 22 year old white kid who fits the profile of most of. these school shootings and there's no proof he's radicalized this way or that way he's radicalized by the internet to see himself as this kind of vigilante accelerator um and all of the stuff with the etchings on the cartridges all just point to this is like a perpetually internet addicted human being but here's what trump says let's play this clip thank you thank you very much yeah please yes uh given with all the uh what's going on charlie perx assassination And it's a left wing, a left wing violence going on.

Do you have plans, and actually this is a great, good opportunity with all these, do you plan on designating Antifa family, a domestic terror organization? Well, it's something I would do, yeah. If I have support from the people back here, I think we'd start with Pam, I think, but I would, if you give me, I would do that 100%. I know there's also, by the way, but Antifa is terrible. Are there other groups that you can make out?

There are other groups, yeah, there are the groups. We have some pretty radical groups, and they got away with murder. And also, I've been speaking to the Attorney General about bringing RICO against some of the people that you've been reading about that have been putting up millions and millions of dollars for agitation. These aren't protests. These are crimes, what they're doing, where they're throwing bricks at cars of ice and Border Patrol. They come in a beautiful new car. They're so proud it's Border Patrol.

You know, it's got whatever it is, and they're throwing rocks at it. Donald Trump is then asked if he was given advance notice by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the airstrikes on Doha, Qatar before they took place. There was a report that came out earlier today that Donald Trump was indeed told by Benjamin Netanyahu that he would do these strikes on Qatar. Trump has denied that before. Three top Israeli military officials confirmed that Trump. got to notice. Trump lies about everything. So watch them lie again. Here, play this clip.

Israel, did baby Netanyahu speak to you directly to alert you that Israel was going to be striking Hamas Sites and Kahn? No, I didn't. No, he didn't. Yeah. How did you know of it? Same way you did. Go ahead, please. Then Donald Trump goes on to lie again and say that Tyler Robinson was radicalized by the left. He's a left. A lot of these problems are, the left, there's absolutely zero evidence for that. And Donald Trump and Magger using Charlie Kirk's death to push this very dangerous narrative where they started by saying, oh, Tyler Robinson's trans. Oh, he's not trans. Uh, the bullet cartridges were trans. Oh, no. His roommate was trans. It's just something to do with trans and Democrats and leftists. Here, play this clip.

Your FBI is investigating the potential role of the left wing organizations and the assassination. I'm wondering if you think if Charlie Kirk's assassin worked alone or he worked with him? I don't know. I mean, I can tell you he didn't work alone on the internet because it seems that he became radicalized on the internet. That's just by watching what same things that you're watching and hearing. It looks like he became radicalized over the internet. And it seems like his wonderful parents brought in a wonderful neighborhood, smart guy, great boards, great marks, great students. student and then he uh something happened to him over a fairly short period of time looks like he

was radicalized over the internet and it's radicalized on the left he's a left a lot of problems with the left and they get protected and they shouldn't be protected but as you understand i think very well from the tone of your question thank you very much this episode of the midas touch podcast is brought to you by graza my new favorite olive oil what makes it so good it's fresh never blended and made from a single type of olive, the faquale, grown in high in Spain, which produces over half of the world's olive oil.

That's M-E-I-D-A-S. about sending the military to invade Chicago next. Let's play it. In the Oval Office. Let's listen in.

We're sending in the big force now. We also sent them into Chicago on a sort of a moderate basis, and we brought down crime a little bit in Chicago, but we're now going to bring it down very big. We're going to be doing Chicago, probably next. I was with a great businessman, a man who is involved in all cities through his business. And I say, who do you think should be next? to Memphis. He said, sir, you've got to save Chicago. We're going to wait a little while.

But he said, you got to save Chicago. You can't let it go. And what Trump then tries to take credit for bringing the crime down in Chicago, I mean, a truly deranged and sick, vile individual he is. Donald Trump then says, I didn't say it was one side, but the radical left causes tremendous violence. Let me fact check that as well. I think of the 5,500 shootings, school shootings, that had taken place really over the past 10 years. I think it was something to the magnitude of 75 to 80 percent came from right-wing extremism. There was a smaller group that was like Islamic extremism than an even smaller group that was like leftist. So this is quite literally false in every way.

And it should also be noted that Donald Trump was celebrating the attempted murder of Paul Pelosi and mocking it over. and over again. Here play this clip. Gladly. And given the killing of Melissa Horton, the attack on Paul Pelosi, the attack on Gabi Giffords, the attack on the Pennsylvania governor's mansion, why make the case that

violence is only on one side? It seems to be taken... I don't say it's on one side, but I say the radical left causes tremendous violence, and they seem to do it in a bigger way. But the radical left really is caused a lot of problems for this country. I really think they hate our country.

Okay. Then Brian Glenn, Marjorie Taylor's boy, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend, who previously dressed up and drag a lot for various TV shows that he used to do before becoming a right-wing media host. He like, all these press conference now, like he like points out things to Donald Trump. Like, do you know that there's like a purple tent in front of the White House? Will you be taking it down? And now he goes, there's a trans flag up on 14th Street. And we all know that dangerous trans ideology. What do you mean dangerous? trans ideology. Just let this come let trans people just live their freaking lives. You want to know the dangerous ideology is people like Brian Glenn and Donald Trump who are using this divisive language like eradicating the scum and using your positions to cause this these problems. Here, play this clip. And one more question about a lot of these in recent of these trans shooters that we've seen over the last couple incidents, this flag right here is up and down 14. This is a what would be the trans flag. A lot of people are very threatened about this flag.

It means a lot of different negative things to people, violence. Would you be opposed to taking this flag down up and down the street? Well, I wouldn't be. Then they'll sue and they'll get freedom of speech stuff, you know, so that'll happen. But I would have no problem with it. I will say, and Steve might just mention this. Todd, you might mention it too because we're putting out an order. You know, freedom of speech means you can burn the American flag, which I think is horrible.

I think is horrible. But I noticed something over the last little while, you know, as you do this, you start noticing things that you wouldn't normally think. It really causes unrest and violence when they bury American flag. So the American flag, I wanted anybody burns the American flag, go to jail based on freedom of speech, goes to jail immediately, but the freedom of speech protected them, right? And so, and that's been argued a couple of times. And, you know, it's one of those things but you know what hasn't been arguing and we're going to be arguing and i think very soon and that's the violence they incite violence so when they i saw just yesterday they burned the american flag and people that were there were fine and all of a sudden they're going crazy and there's fist

fights it wasn't in memphis either but i will say it incites violence donald trump then says hateful things about congresswoman omar let's play it of his assassination, Colin Charlie Kirk, a reprehensible community. Should she be stripped of her community assigned? I would say, I think she's a disgraceful person. You know, I think she's a disgraceful person, a loser. It's amazing the way people, but I know it's people from her area, maybe of the world. I don't know, they got here and they voted her in.

It's hard to believe, but I think she's a disgusting person. And one more question about a lot of these in recent. Donald Trump says that he doesn't care what Chicago wants or what the governor of Illinois wants. He's going to be sending the National Guard. Let's play it. How will you send the National Guard into Chicago without cooperation of the governor and mayor? Well, if they do cooperate, that's good. If they don't, it's not going to matter to us at all.

You know who wants to help us? Police Department. They have no respect for the governor. They have no respect for the mayor. They respect us. And we found that in Washington, you know, we haven't had total support. in Washington from government, as you know, from everybody. I don't want to say the mayor because she was better than most.

But we haven't had great, great, but we have had great support from the Metropolitan Police. They're like brothers of these people. They're really like brothers. You see that. They work together. And so if the governor wants to support, as I said to Bill, it's going to be his proudest moment. What is going to do? The governor of Tennessee, what's going to happen with?

Memphis. And three, four weeks, we'll stand together and we'll say, look at this. The crime has almost disappeared, maybe completely disappeared in Washington. They don't even know how to record it because it's down so much. You know, they've never heard. I heard 87% is down. I said, really, who are the 13%? Because it's more than that. It's actually more hard to believe, right? You're going to have the same results in Chicago. And we hope we have the governor's help. and if we don't, we're doing it without him. And Mr. President, you had to. Then you have Cash Patel

who knows that the Attorney General Pam Bondi doesn't want him there. The Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche doesn't want him there. They all view him as utterly incompetent. Trump really can't do anything when it comes to Cash Patel because Cash Patel knows where the bodies

are buried as it relates to all of the Epstein files because Cash knows the cover up that's taking place there. But watch Cash Patel try to suck up to Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche. Let's play it. Cash, would you say a few words, please? Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks to your brilliant foresight, you had asked us to go quietly into the cities to help set the landscape, to work with the interagency, and to make America safe again. And we've done that under the FBI's banner program of Operation Summer Heat,

and the results are only as good as the prosecutions. And because the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General have mobilized DOJ to successfully prosecute so many violent criminals. We've set the landscape for the interagency to come into Memphis and really make it safe permanently. As the governor and the senators and the other directors were saying, it's not a short-term mission, but thanks to you, launching us early, launching us quietly, not looking for the credit, Mr. President. We greatly appreciate your support and the advanced foresight you had and doing that. And then you have Pete Hegsiff saying, well, we here at the DOD, not the Defense Department. I mean, the Department of War here, play this clip.

From day one, the DO, excuse me, D-O-W, the Department of War, I'm glad you made that correct, correct, you, of course, sir, has been proud to stand with our partners across the interagency, whether it's a southwest border, whether it was Los Angeles getting ahead of that, whether it's right here in Washington, D.C., where Secretary Driscoll and the Army and the National Guard have taken the lead in helping across all of these great folks to secure the city. We are very proud to be here to stand strong alongside law enforcement. We're glad. An utterly deranged press conference by Donald Trump.
