The purported purpose of this press conference was for Donald Trump to announce his bailout of farmers who were being bankrupted because of Trump's tariffs against the world. But during this press conference, Donald Trump was asked questions, which provoked him to just recklessly lash out in such a bizarre manner. Let me show you what went down when a member of the press asked Donald Trump, when are you going to release the video footage of the second strike of the survivors from the fishing, boat off the coast of Venezuela on September 2nd when they survived the first strike that were

the war crimes. You said you would release the video footage about five days ago. So when are you going to release it? Watch what Donald Trump says. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, you said that you would have no, Mr. President, you said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela. Secretary Hegstep now says that. You said that. I didn't say that. This is ABC fake news. You said that you would have no problem releasing the full bit. Okay, well, Secretary Hexsson. Whatever He says he wants to do is okay with me.

He now says it's under review. Are you ordering the secretary to release that full video? Whatever he decides is okay with me. So every boat we knock out of the water, every boat we save 25,000 American lives. And just so we can bring out the receipts for you, here's what Donald Trump said five days ago in the Oval Office where he said he would be releasing

the video footage, play this clip. You release video of that first boat strike on September 2nd. but not the second video. Will you release video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened? I don't know what they have, but whatever they have would certainly release,

no problem. You know, we stopped. Every boat, we knock out. We saved 25,000 American lives. Now, back to today's disastrous press conference, Donald Trump said that things are much more affordable now. He basically says we don't have any affordability crisis and he says inflation has been solved.

Here, play this clip. Prices are way down. We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices. We inherited the biggest inflation in the history of our country. That means prices going up. And we brought it down very substantially. Now inflation is essentially gone. We haven't normalized and it'll go down even a little bit further. You don't want it to be deflation either. You have to be careful. But we brought a way down. We had inflation that was the highest in the history of our country. They say 48 years, but I say the history, 48 years is pretty bad too, right? Donald Trump is then asked about the news of 20 Republican Congress members thinking about

resigning or threatening to resign because they just don't want to be part of the House under Maga Mike Johnson and Donald Trump anymore. Trump lashes out at the reporter, starts attacking the reporter and says, you've come unprepared. It should be noted that recklessly lashing out in these unprovoked ways is also a sign of Alzheimer's. And you know our coverage here about that on the Midas Touch Network here, play this clip. And I just have a quick question. There's at least 20 House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or not run again. And Democrats also.

And Democrats. Right. Do you have me? Well, why don't you mention them? How many Democrats are going to return? How many Democrats? Well, that's what I was going to ask. But why don't you tell me the number of Democrats, too?

You tell me about the narrow margins. And now I'm not concerned. I think we're going to do well. among them and we will have the greatest economy we're going to have the greatest economy in history how many democrats are retiring how come you only know the republicans but not the democrats because i can't prepare to ask you a question about no no you're unprepared because you should know the democrats you're totally unprepared go ahead who you with i'm with new york newsday and i also have a quick follow up um now as part of this press conference as well you had people like

Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary, having to suck up to Donald Trump. It was so bizarre. She says, you know, you're the greatest boss in the world. This, as Donald Trump is now having to bail out the farmers who fall under her jurisdiction because his tariffs against the world are bankrupting them. Here, play this clip. Madam Secretary. Thank you to the greatest boss in the world for a long time now. It's just an honor to be here. I'm going to keep my comments very short. While we're at it, folks, I just want to remind you, make sure you hit subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. As you know, we're under attack from this regime right now. They want to shut us down.

Now, Donald Trump then says that it's actually very difficult to work a lawnmower right now. He says, because of all of these environmental things, you now have to touch all of these buttons and you need a 185 IQ if you want to work a lawnmower. No, you don't. I don't think you know how to work a lawnmower here play this clip. Farming equipment has gotten too expensive. And a lot of the reason is because they put these environmental excesses on the equipment, which don't do a damn thing, make it complicated, make it impractical. And you really have to be, in many cases,

you need about 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower. So we're going to. Then Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary says, we're so thankful that you're looking into the cause of why equipment, fertilizer, and seed has gotten so much more expensive. Thank you for your leadership. I think we have an answer. It's not exactly a mystery. It's the tariffs. Here, play this clip. Here in 2026. As we have fought to bring input costs down, you have talked about it. And even this weekend, in an executive order, signed one on looking into the reason that so much of these costs have been driven up over and over equipment. Again, fertilizer, seed, et cetera, et cetera. We have to make sure we understand why that is. And then the continuing of

the additional trade deals across the world. And no longer will America be held and beholden to the regime of other countries' tariff infrastructure. Instead, we are moving our products out across the world. Donald Trump then talks about giving the $12 billion to the farmers. By the way, He gave $40 billion to Argentina to then undercut our farmers by selling their soybeans to China. But Donald Trump says $12 billion. That's a lot of money. Here, play this clip. So we're going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers.

$12 billion is a lot of money, Merrill. What do you think? Peanuts for you, though, right? She's a farmer of rice. This relief will, this relief will. provide much needed certainty to farmers as they get this year's harvest to market and look ahead to next year's crops. And it'll help them continue their efforts to lower food prices for American families. And again, and then Donald Trump says it's because of the tariffs

that this is possible. Okay. It's because of the tariffs that you've bankrupted the farmers, not that you've had to, then you had to bail them out. Here, play this clip. The years is just as bright if not brighter than the last. So thank you. Thank you, Brooke. Thank you. This money would not be possible without tariffs. The tariffs are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars and we're giving some up to the farmers because they were mistreated by other countries for, I don't know, maybe right reasons,

maybe wrong reasons. They weren't, they were trying to show us something and it's really worked out really well. But because of the tariffs, this is possible. The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about the way I live, eat, and take care of my body. That's why I'm so happy I found Mosh. Mosh, which you may have heard about on Shark Tank, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, and research. Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then, she and Patrick have dedicated themselves

to finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease. Mosh joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar. With eight delicious flavors, including a plant-based one in peanut butter and chocolate, each Mosh bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like Ashwanda, Lions Made, Collagen, and Omega-3s. And now Mosh bars come with a new look and new formulation, featuring a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient that you won't find in any other bar. Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium neotropic that supplies the brain with a pattern form of Citi-Coline. But here's the best part to the best part

to make you feel good, Mosh donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender-based brain health research through the woman's Alzheimer's movement. Why gender-based? Because two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients are women. Mosh is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research. Personally, I love the taste of my mosh bars. My favorite is the peanut butter crunch, which I have each morning before I head off to the gym. Now, if you want to find ways to give back to others and fuel your body and your brain, mosh bars are the perfect choice for you. Head to moshlife.com slash mitus

he says, my farmers doing here play this clip just know that this president i have never been around anyone who every time we talk he asks how are my farmers every single time so we will never stop fighting we will make sure that we're doing everything we can to ensure the next 250 years uh is just as bright if not brighter than the last so then you can see these like bizarre members i want to call members of the press i think this person works at mike lindel media company or one of the companies like that. And so she asked Donald Trump, she goes, you know, everybody knows, she says, she goes,

everybody knows that January 6th was a Fed surrection led by the FBI to bring you down. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, I agree with that. That's a great statement. And I'm going to look into my own prosecutor for helping with a Fed surrection. Again, derange conspiracies, but this is what's happening in the White House now. So you need to watch it play this clip. Everybody's talking about the pipe bomber of the weekend, the suspect that was taken into custody. I reported on Biden's kangaroo court for four years. And I, this is an important

question to me. Everyone knows that J6 was a Fed's direction to set you and your supporters up. So my question is, what's your gut instinct about the new pipe bomber suspect taken into custody? Does your instinct tell you that he acted alone? And also, Mr. President, how do you feel about the lead prosecutor on the pipe bomber case? Jocelyn Ballantene is the same prosecutor that allegedly acts to J6 or to lie to frame you for J6 when you did nothing wrong? What are your Well, thank you. I really appreciate that question, sort of a statement, and I appreciate it very much. Jocelyn is being looked at. They all have to be looked at. What they're doing is so bad. This was a whole Democrat hoax. The whole thing was a Democrat hoax. And it's all being looked at.

Appreciate that. Trump is then asked about Alina Haba having to resign after she was disqualified over and over again by every judge that she's appeared in front of as the United States attorney because she's unlawfully behaving. as the United States attorney. And Donald Trump's like, she's not disqualified. This is the Democrats' fault. No, it's your fault for putting unqualified people in these positions. And then the federal judges, both Trump appointed judges, Biden appointed judges, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, all these judges don't extend the term of the interims,

the interim United States attorneys, who can also get confirmed because they're not qualified. They don't have any background being federal prosecutors. That's why this is happening here, play this clip. Okay, what else? Yeah, Alina Havis says she's stepping down as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey after the courts disqualified her. Do you have any comment on that? Well, she's not disqualified.

You've got a blue slip thing that's horrible. It's a horrible thing. It makes it impossible to appoint a judge or a U.S. attorney, and it's a shame. And the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they allow this to go on. Because I can't appoint a U.S. attorney that's not a Democrat. Because they put a block on it. So if you appoint in Virginia or in New Jersey or in California, a U.S. attorney or a judge, I mean, a judge situation is ridiculous.

The only people that you can get by are Democrats. Then Donald Trump talks about how he wants to take away more and more vaccines and he comes up with this weird thing that we're giving children 88 shots and one big glass of stuff like that. What are you even talking about? You don't know the way these work, and it's so despicable. that you've now taken away the hepatitis B or you've removed recommendations for hepatitis B

for newborns, which is going to lead to the deaths of so many newborns and many newborns contracting hepatitis B. Here, play this clip. I think we take like 88 different shots all wrapped up in one, one big glass of stuff like that, and we're going to be reducing it very substantial. Do you support the paramount? It'll be safe.

But we're going to be reducing it very subsistence. Then Trump says that what he goes, what his, it's not even a health care plan. He goes, his idea that we get rid of insurance companies altogether and give people $2,000 checks and use that to replace their health care. He goes, that's gone mega viral. It's gone mega viral. Here, play this clip. That Republican plan that you just talked about when it comes to health care,

when do you expect Republicans to put that on? looking at it very strongly and we're also going to the democrats and asking them to do it the democrats want to make the insurance companies rich they're all paid off by the insurance companies this they're a tremendous amount of the insurance company funding goes to democrats why don't you ask that question of the democrats because i would love to do it i'd love all of the money you go to the people they go to the people you know i put that out two weeks ago it became number one viral people love it i want the money to go for health care to go to the people and let the people buy their own health care through an account they can buy their own health care and everybody loves it

except for the democrats and you know why they don't because they're paid off by the insurance companies okay what else yeah alina hobba says she's stepping down as u.s attorney and then he says that jing ping asked him so are your soybeans are they actually more nutritious than other countries, or are you just making up Trump stuff? In other words, do you just lie about everything? Or is this actually true that your soybeans are better? Xi Jinping was mocking Donald Trump, and Trump doesn't even realize what was taking place.

Play this clip. It's to China as we speak. And I say that our soybeans, I told this to President Xi, our soybeans are more nutritious than competitors. Somebody said, is that a Trump statement or is that real? In fact, you know who has me that question? President Xi asked me that question. He said, really, I had never heard of it.

And he was a food purchaser for a long time. And then Donald Trump attacks former President Biden and says he's a sleepy guy. He's a sleepy guy. Here play this clip. Only they're so important. Unfortunately, under sleepy Joe Biden, he was a sleepy guy. Our farmers were crushed by the worst inflation in modern history and crippling restrictions on energy water and countless other.

necessities for farmers and what they did to the farmer in terms of putting the brakes on was just absolutely unacceptable. And then finally, you have some random farmer sitting next to Trump who says, my son says, Daddy, I don't want, I don't want Santa Claus from Christmas. I want Donald, here play this clip. Story at night, putting him to bed, and he said, Daddy, I don't want Santa Claus to come to our house for Christmas.

I want President Trump. And I think, Mr. Trump, I think you brought Christmas to farmers. With this bridge payment, we'll be able to farm another year. Help us get by.
