Like NCIS, Tony and Ziva. We'd like to make up for own rules. Tulsa King. We want to take out the competition. The substance. This balance is not working. And the naked gun. That was awesome.

Now that's a mountain of entertainment. Paramount Wolfe. A panicking and deeply unwell Donald Trump rushed out of the White House this morning at 8.45 a.m., according to White House press pool reporters, apparently he's going to his golf course, although he made sure to hide from the press as he got into the motorcade. And then when he arrived at his golf course, he continued to hide from the press. The Secret Service was guarding him as he arrived at around 10 a.m. If indeed he is playing golf, this would be the second week in a row where he is now golfing during the government shutdown. I mean, let's face it, he's been golfing every weekend. But during the government shutdown, he's made it a point to hang out at his golf course.

It's unclear based on his physical ability, whether he's actually golfing, whether he's just pretending to golf while he cheats, which we know that he does. But one of the things that he is posting throughout this morning, it's been. Post, post, and it's been nothing to do with the pain and suffering the American people are feeling as a result of Donald Trump and Republicans' government shutdown. Instead, Donald Trump is posting this. You can't make this up, folks. Donald Trump posted a rendering of a triumphant arch. Donald Trump is desperately now wanting to build a triumphant arch in Washington, D.C., the type that Adolf Hitler was trying to build in Hitler's. vision of germania you see right there Hitler with the triumphant arch right there never built as Hitler was obviously the loser in World War II Donald Trump was seen in the White House right there with the triumphant arch as well again he wants to build that 90,000 square

foot ballroom which is going up triumphant arches gold everywhere in the White House that the taxpayers are paying for UFC fights in front of the White House, a major priority for him. What else is he posting this morning? He just posted this as well from the official White House account six minutes ago. Six minutes ago, my team tells me this was posted right here. Pull it up right here. It says Donald Trump's posting excellent health physician to president.

This is from the official White House account. Donald Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. Very bizarre thing to post. I did a whole breakdown this morning on how suspicious this health report was that Donald Trump claims was in connection with his hospital visit on Friday to Walter Reed. Walter Reed. There are many people who are suspecting that it's potentially a number of mini strokes and that Donald Trump had to have an MRI related to that. Unclear, those are just opinions. Let me be clear.

And speculation, we know that Donald Trump had this. chronic venous cardiovascular type issues. The blood was not circulating the right way through his body. One of the reasons we see his hand looks like it's completely rotting. Those ankles of his look like basketballs. The swelling right there, usually signs of cardiovascular issues. But there's also people who are wondering, you know, was there a stroke that took place? Recently, again, some speculated that it had happened before.

And again, when you look at this. report. I flagged all of the very suspicious things in this report. I mean, first, it was Donald Trump's press secretary claiming it was an annual report when we knew he previously had an annual report in April. Then you had Donald Trump's former physician, Ronnie Jackson, saying it was a checkup in relation to the kind of chronic venous related issues, the cardiovascular related issues. Then Donald Trump claimed it was a semi-annual visit. But when you look at this, it says that he's been in great shape, health. And we know that he has health issues. So to say that he's been always in great shape and great health. And also the fact that every six months now, he's getting advanced imaging. I think

that's a very important word in this because it would not be normal that you would get advanced imaging on a fairly regular basis like this, meaning kind of MRIs or other scans. That usually is the case where you have serious health related issues, whether that's cardiovascular, stroke type issues, eschemic-related issues. So we'll leave it at that. But again, he's posting the excellent health. I'll tell you who's not an excellent health, Donald. The American people are not an excellent health, because you're ripping away their health care. In a very short period of time, 20 million Americans will likely lose their health care and or the health care will just get so expensive without the Affordable Care Act subsidies that people are going to go medically bankrupt and have to make a decision.

You know, are they're going to lose their homes or get health care? What are they going to do? Are they going to be able to send their kids to college or have health care? That's what Donald Trump's doing right now. And as Donald Trump's shutting down the government, he's using the shutdown as a way to further implement project 2025. More news this morning. 4,000 federal workers have officially been fired due to Donald Trump's government shutdown. And this included a Friday night massacre at the CDC.

Dozens of disease detectives, high-level scientists, the entire. Washington staff and editors of the morbidity and mortality weekly report have all been reduction enforced, which is a way that Trump gets that gets rid of him, basically, and receive the following notice. And as Nicholas Christoph writes, why does the Trump administration side with viruses over people? Well, Nicholas, it's quite simple. Donald Trump is a virus. He really is Donald Trump and this strand of MAGA that praise on people's empathy, love, compassion, sense of community, democracy, the damage that this movement has done propping up. This dopey, dozy, demented authoritarian on we the people on a once great nation is something

that frankly is unfriking forgivable. Wow, the markets, as you know, crashed on Friday because Donald Trump impulsively sent out a social media post saying that he would be imposing an additional 100% tariffs on China. China has just completely outmaneuvered Donald Trump, putting export controls on its rare earth minerals, squeezing our soybean farmers. Squeezing may not be the right word, not buying product from our soybean farmers

to bankrupt American soybean farmers and buying from other countries, putting a massive amount of pressure here in the United States as Donald Trump flails, wakes up and make social media posts. That's not a cohesive trade war. I mean, look, if Donald Trump wanted to do a trade war

against China, like say you wanted to do it, maybe you then don't trade war the entire world so you have zero allies, maybe you want to have like a plan rather than like social media posting 90,000 square foot ballrooms and triumphant arches like Hitler. I don't know. I mean, maybe you come up with a comprehensive plan that is implemented like in a logical way versus just the incoherent, just craziness with which everything takes place out of this White House. So by now I'm sure you all know, the Dow dropped about 2%.

The S&P almost 3%. The NASDAQ dropped 3 and a half percent on Donald Trump's social media. media posts. But folks, don't worry, relief is coming for you in the form of a Qatari Air Force Base. That's right. As you know, Qatar is going to be building an Air Force Base in Idaho where they will be flying their jets over American Air Force bases. So they gave Donald Trump a 747 Golden Jet. They get an Air Force base that Pete Hegeseth announced sitting right next to the head of Qatar, one of the Althani's from the Amir family, and they were very proud of their Qatari Air Force Base.

Folks, I just want to say this. While all of this is going on to, it is so important that we have a accurate information environment out there because what Trump wants to do is divide us with culture war issues like this right here. Donald Trump signs Columbus Day proclamation calls the explorer the original American hero. I mean, look, we all know the issues around Christopher Columbus. We all know the issues around Columbus Day. We all know the way Columbus treated indigenous people and the atrocities that were committed.

But this is just one of those issues as well that Donald Trump seeks to divide, doing a proclamation. I don't know, just save people's health care. Just allow Americans to be able to afford a home. Stop saying that you're reducing the price of groceries when you're not. Like, actually do the things that you say. said that you were going to do for the American people. Now, that's why I get my news from ground news. You may be wondering, well, Ben, where do you do your research from?

I stay up to date and all my news from ground news. It's a subscriber-funded app and news site. And every day, they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the rights reporting, what the center is reporting, what's the left reporting. It's a game changer because I think as active responsible citizens and as the head of media network. I think we all need to get our news from reliable sources and I make that the biggest priority here at the Midas Touch network for you. So if I trust ground news, you should trust

ground news. And one of the things that I like about ground news is it says, is this article coming from a corporate news site or is it coming from an independent media site? Actually, I've found that independent media seems to have a higher factuality. But here's what I want you to do. Get your ground news. Use the same plan that I use. It's called the Vantage subscription plan. One of the services that I like is something called their blind spot feed, which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum. Like the story I just shared with you, Donald Trump signs Columbus Day proclamation.

70% of the coverage came from the right wing, and it shows you this is just like another kind of culture war issue. So do this. Do me favor. Go to ground. dot news slash mtn we're going to give you 40% off the ground news vantage plan that i use every single morning they're subscriber funded and by subscribing you're not only getting a tool we all need today you're also supporting our work here on this youtube channel that's g r o undd dot news slash mtn we've pinned the link to purchase your subscription below get that 40% off of the vantage plan that's how i do my

research let me just show you this so again we can can be clear. You're like, man, I've heard mixed things about this Katari Air Force Base. Are they really building a Katari Air Force Base in Idaho? Just here's what Hegson says. So you can hear for yourself, just so you can hear it. Here, play this clip. And I'm also proud that today we're announcing, we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Katari Emory Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. Location will be host a contingent of Katari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increased lethality, interoperability. It's just another example of our partnership.

And I hope you know, Your Excellency, that you can count on us. So that's in the words of Pete Hegseth right now. And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump continuing to post sombrero photos of the Democratic leaders like Jeffries and Schumer. But I think here's an important point. What are Mago Republicans? Why aren't they working? Like, why are Republicans taking a vacation right now?

All the Democrats are in the House and in the Senate. They've showed up to work, to speak, to talk about all these issues. Republicans went on a vacation. They're not talking to Democrats, yet alone negotiating because they feel in their Trump dictatorship they don't need to speak to the other political party. So let's hear from one. Here's Mago Republican Congress member Burchett. Why aren't you showing up?

Here, play this clip. Explain to our viewers what is going on with Argentina. because the U.S. Treasury today directly purchased Argentine pesos and finalized this $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina's central bank. So the intent, I guess, is to provide assistance from the Latin American country's economic turmoil. It's clear how Argentina benefits from this deal.

What do we get out of it? We get a lot out of it. Argentina is a beacon in Latin America. President Malay has done the right thing. done the right thing. He is trying to break a hundred years of a bad cycle in Argentina. He is also a great ally for the U.S. He'll be coming to the Oval Office next Tuesday. And he is committed to getting China out of Argentina. They're all over the place in Latin America. And when people say to me, how is this not America first? I'll tell you why it's not.

Do you want to be shooting at more gunboats like in Venezuela? We do not want a failed state. So this isn't a bailout? Sorry, it's not a bailout at all. There's no money being transferred. The ESF has never lost money. It's not going to lose money here. I've been doing, I was in the investment business, mostly currencies for 40 years.

You're supposed to buy low, sell high. And the Argentine peso is undervalued. We're going to have an election in Argentina, the 26th of this month. We think President Malay will do quite well. And he is putting the Peronis path behind them. Meanwhile, Venezuelan's government is requesting an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council, saying it expects a U.S. armed attack against Venezuela at any moment now. We'll keep you posted there.

We learn from the president of Colombia. He said that a Colombian fishing boat was one of the boats that the Trump regime blew up filled with Colombian citizens, not Venezuelans or narco-terrorists as the Trump regime claims. We have zero transparency about what the hell is going on there with the Trump regime, just blowing up fishing boats over there. And finally, I'll just leave you with this. Maga Mike Johnson terrified about the no king's protest coming on October 18th. I hope to see you at a No King's protest. And what Maga Mike says is, oh, I know what this shutdown's all about now. This is about the pro Hamas protests coming on October 18.

The pro Hamas. That's what the No Kings protests are in pro Hamas. How freaking dare you? And just I want you to get into the understand what these people say. When they talk about Antifa and pro Hamas and all of these things, what they're trying to use is a pretext for them. them to seize dictatorial power because they are the ones that are behaving like the modern day authoritarian that we see in and past day authoritarians. Anyway, here's what Maga Mike Johnson says.

Here, play this clip season because of this nonsense. And we're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I have had it with these people. They're playing games with real people's lives. The theory we have right now, they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18th on the national mall. It's all the pro Hamas wing and the, you know, the, the, uh, Antifa people. They're all coming out. Some of the House Democrats are selling t-shirts for the event. And it's, it's, it's being told to us that they won't be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can't face their rabid base. I mean, this is, this is serious business hurting real people. And I just, I'm beyond words. I can't believe they're actually doing

this. Yeah, Mr. Speaker, there you have the folks. Let me know what you think. We're going to have a lot of video. for you this weekend. I want to give a shout out to the Guardian. They did a really great piece on the Midas Touch Network. Check it out. It's called The Big Interview.
