Donald Trump is panicking as Iran's leadership and Iran's media is sending an ominous message, The front page of the Tehran Times has photos of American troops and it says,

Welcome to Hell. U.S. troops who step foot on Iran's soil will leave only in coffins. You have the Speaker of Iran's parliament, Galabaf, saying the following. The enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue while covertly planning a ground invasion, unaware that our men are waiting for American troops to enter on the ground so they can set them ablaze and punish them and their regional partners forever. Our strikes continue. Our missiles remain ready. Our determination and faith have only grown stronger. We are aware of the enemy's weaknesses and clearly see signs of fear and terror within their ranks. And then M. B. Ghalibov, the Speaker of Iran's Parliament, posted a photo of the E3G century airborne early warning and control aircraft that was destroyed at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, along with multiple KC-135s. You'll recall the Trump regime said there was only minor damage to what's often referred to as the crown jewel of.

the Air Force. And you can see right there, that's not minor damage. That is serious damage, total loss, of course, of all of those aircrafts. Then you have the IRGC, the Islamic Republic Guard Court Aerospace Chief General Majid Musavi posted the following. Disabling the radar network logistics and inflicting casualties on America and the region continues. With Iran's intelligence oversight and strikes. America has no choice but to pull back from Iran's borders. The wreckage of the AWACs, the tankers, and destroyed American hangers bears witness to this. Soon other high value targets will be added to the list. And look, the ballistic missile strike, Shahi drone swarms, FPV drone swarms sent by Iran continue. Israel received very serious hits, strikes, strikes,

overnight. I'll talk about that in a moment. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, they continue to get hit. And what they often say is, oh, there was damage that was caused by debris. But no, I mean, we've seen the videos of the direct strikes. And we know that 13 American military bases in the Middle East have been abandoned by American soldiers. They've been fully evacuated because there's no way to guard against these drone swarms and ballistic missiles. Let me go on and read to you what the vice president, RF of Iran just has been saying, like they're taunting Donald Trump right now.

Then I'll show you what Donald Trump's response is. So Iran's VP says, yes, the regime has changed, but the Strait of Hormuz's regime. The Hormuz straight regime will no longer be, as it was in the past. The government is determined to turn the achievements on the ground into stable economic and security benefits for the country of Iran. Or Iran's, but all these comments in the past 12 to 24 hours, just so you know.

Iran's Navy commander, Rear Admiral Sharam Arani, says, once the Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier Strike Group enters our range, it will be targeted with coastal missiles to avenge the Dena Martyrs. And the Dena Martyrs refers to the ship off the coast of India that was hit by a United States torpedo. It was actually right off the coast of Sri Lanka. The Navy of Iran, they were participating in a military parade in India. They did not have any arms aboard their ship.

And the United States shot them with a torpedo, killed over 100. And then the Sri Lankan Navy had to save the people because the U.S. refused to save some of the drowning naval members of Iran. 100, over 100 died. The Navy commander of Iran says all movements and positions of the strike group, as well as its request to regional countries are being monitored in real time. The Eastern Strait of Hermuz and the Sea of Oman, the gateway to the Strait and the Persian Gulf are fully under Iranian naval control. Now, what's Donald Trump's response to this? Donald Trump writes, Holy fuck Trump just nuke newsome for nearly five minutes.

This is Trump. All natural, no script, and Newsom's career is done after this. I believe he took himself out of the running when Newsom said he has a mental disability. He admits he's a stupid person. I don't want stupid people being president on fire. It's a Donald Trump repost. Then Donald Trump goes, Iran is feckless and weak. Political commentator, Stephen Kemp.

Kent gives an analysis of Trump claiming that Iran is begging to make a deal with the United States. Trump says they're begging like dogs. They're on their knees begging me every day. We want a deal, sir. We want a deal. And I don't care. I don't want to give him a deal. Donald Trump says. Or how about this post from Donald Trump? Here it is. The director of the CIA. This was from July 24th, 2019 when John Ratcliffe was a Congress member. He's now the CIA director. but he writes, Rep John Ratcliffe legally takes down the Russian collusion conspiracy hoax

and its co-conspirator Robert Mueller the single greatest takedown of takedowns in U.S. congressional history. Like you are aware that right now, Russia is helping Iran kill American soldiers, destroy American military bases. I did a video this morning

where President Zelensky and European leader, are out there saying it's very strange. We all find it very strange that don't it's strange is code word for something else. We find it very strange that Donald Trump continues to lift sanctions off of Russia, lift the sanctions off of Russian oil while Russia works with Iran to target American military bases, key American military assets and kill American soldiers. And Trump continues to attack Zelensky and help Putin. So yes, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. Russia is happening before our damn eyes right now.

We had the top leadership of the Russian Duma on Thursday and Friday meet with our Congress, meet with Maga Republican Congress members and meet with the State Department. And they went back to Russia saying that they got massive economic concessions. They're out there in the United States. They're doing it in plain view. And everybody out there in corporate news is acting like this is normal or they just don't want to say it. But Donald Trump is a Putin book. liquor. We're going to say it here, and we can show you he's helping Putin right now, in my

opinion, because we can see all the data points that I'm just showing you and Putin's helping Iran kill Americans and target American military bases. So that's what Donald Trump's saying. He goes, Iran is weak. They have no capabilities. Well, here's another wave of Iranian missiles and drones in an industrial base near Beir Sheva in Israel. They struck a major industrial base there. In the video I did this morning, I showed you Iran strike. in the city of Erbil, right by the U.S. consulate and military base there. And as I mentioned earlier in this video, Iran continues to strike American military assets in the area.

Donald Trump's also posting this. Dear President Trump, a letter from Franklin Graham, congratulations, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the hostages being returned home are incredible accomplishments. Your leadership is historic. First off, there was never a real ceasefire in God. Let's be very clear. Over a thousand innocent people have died in Gaza since the ceasefire was claimed. It was never real.

And that's what you're talking about now. While you've gotten the world, basically in a world war right now, you're putting those letters up. What on the world are you doing? Meanwhile, you have the Iranian embassies making posts like this. The pedophiles are bombing Iran and they were doing other posts like this. By the way, Pope Leo has chimed in. Pope Leo says,

God rejects prayers of leaders who wage war. I think that's obviously being directed at the Trump regime right there. Pope Leah and J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism, Pope Leo said God rejects the prayers of leaders who start war, who have blood on their hands in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran War entered its second month. It's actually not that unusual. That's how USA Today's putting it. If people know Pope Leo the 14th, he goes out and he says,

what's on his mind. Addressing tens of thousands in St. Petersburg Square on Palm Sunday, the celebration that opens the Holy Week leading up to Easter for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the Pope called the conflict atrocious and says, Jesus cannot be used to justify any wars. Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying, even though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood, he said, citing a Bible passage. And what's so interesting about that story is that it's getting so little coverage

from right-wing media, center, so-called center media and left-wing media is covering it, but very minimal of the coverage of what Pope Leo is saying there is being covered by right-wing media. And it's an interesting analysis that I like to do

before I record my videos in the morning because depending on where you get your news from, you may be getting really distorted views. It's why I try to give you fact, fact, fact here on the Midas Touch Network and understand the origins of these stories. It's why I partner with Ground News and why I get my news from Ground News every morning before I prepare for my videos like this one right here. Because they're one of the best tools, the best tool, I would say, for me to stay objective

with my reporting. Ground News is an app and a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how is the left center and right framing the story differently. For every story, there's a color-coded layout, which makes it easy to see the political bias of each source. I can filter for high factuality sources and see which sources are independent owned or owned by a large media conglomerate with corporate interest. This lets you compare reporting on the same issue in one place so you can come to your own conclusions based on all of the facts. So the article I just showed you about the Pope, you can see how little coverage it was getting, from right wing media.

And if you're getting your news from right wing media, you could have missed this entire story completely. That's why Ground News even has a dedicated blind spot feed, which is a personal favorite of mine, which highlights stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle for you to help burst through political echo chambers.

It's important to note that the 30-year Treasury yield closed at 4.98%, getting very close to the highest level

since the run-up to the global financial crisis. We've been very focused here on the two-year, 10-year, 20-year, 30-year treasury yields, which continue to surge. Ultimately, that will increase the interest that the federal government is going to have to pay on the massive amounts of debt that it has incurred two weeks ago, $39 trillion of debt. The debt just keeps on rising under Donald Trump, and it's going to continue to rise. I mean, he's put more debt on this country than anyone by far. And often these high yield rates result in mortgage rates

that are impossible to basically afford. And it's just crushing at every level to businesses, to consumers. But if you watch state regime media, which calls itself Fox, been running stories like this today. Tackling gas prices. Donald Trump focused on bringing down the gas prices, as Aaron Rupar says. So the arsonist is tackling the fires. Got it.

On the Maria Bartaroba state regime show this morning, they brought on MAGA Republican congresswoman McLean. And they are talking about how these MAGA Republicans in Donald Trump were refusing to pay TSA agents and causing mass disruption in ICE. were airports. Then Donald Trump said, well, I'm going to do it by an executive order. And that's how I'm going to pay the TSA agents, which is like, well, if you could do that, why didn't you do that weeks ago? Because you wanted to cause this pain and suffering. And then the Senate on a bipartisan basis put forward legislation to fund the TSA. So it was done the right way, you know, bills becoming laws,

not by executive orders. And then the House of Representatives blocked it. Then they all went on vacation for two weeks. And they're all vacationing right now. They're all vacationing right now. Right now, while we're in a war, while Donald Trump's in this unlawful war that Congress refused to utilize its Article 1 authority, they're taking a vacation. Maga Mike said, see you later, everybody. We're on recess. We're out there partying while the American people are suffering while our troops are being put into harm. Watch what she says here, play this glim. I've got to tell you, Congresswoman, I mean, some people out there look at this situation, and they don't understand.

They know that the Republicans are in charge. You are running the House. You are running the Senate. you are running the White House, and yet we have these fights, and it's obvious that you can't get on the same page, and it seems like Democrats are still winning. Yep. It's extremely frustrating, and that's why we passed a bill for the fourth time to make sure that we pay our Department of Homeland Security agents and the whole department. But this is a border fight. The radical Democrats want open borders. And as you know, it takes 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done. We need some common sense Democrats to come along with us. Then you have Maga Republican Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.

He's like, you know, what's so devious about the left wing. What's so devious about them is that they intentionally got two of their own martyred by ice. Martyred by ice is, as Hemet Betta says, it's disgusting for any Republicans say, we got two martyrs as if we were hoping for ice to kill individuals. who were peacefully protesting. I mean, these Republicans are sickos, right? These are some sicko humans. God is into unlawful war.

They cover up the Epstein files. These are some sickos here. Play this clip. But here's what they even more deviously. They trained activists to obstruct justice, encouraged them to put themselves in harm's way, knowing they could get harmed. They got two martyrs.

And then they're using those martyrs as their excuse to try and defund law enforcement to defund the very, agencies that are designed to clean up the mess they created. That's what we're dealing with. That's who Democrats are. Republicans need to get united and we need to make sure that we blame Democrats because that is where the fault lies. Now, before running the article that I shared with you earlier, the Tehran Times previous front cover was the following. Schools to Hospitals, a trail of U.S. Israeli war crimes was their front page and they continued to post photos of

individuals who were killed, children who were killed in this disastrous war. I mean, I reported on this yesterday, but I think it deserves a lot of attention. I mean, we've talked about the elementary school where the United States killed 165 children, little girls at the school. We talked about the DENA, that ship. BBC Verify says that footage and expert analysis also indicates a U.S. precision strike missile was likely used in the March 9th strike on a sports hall in Le Maired, Iran, where children were training, killing at least 21 people, including young girls. High-resolution satellite imagery reviewed by the BBC shows the sports hall and nearby residential buildings being destroyed, while the adjacent IRGC compound appears to have remained

undamaged. In other words, the U.S. destroyed the gym where children were playing, and kept the IRGC military compound. The DropSite had an earlier report on this as well that a missile tore through a civilian gym, packed with students during training sessions, triggering panic, collapsing, debris, and continuous screaming. As injured children were pulled from the rubble,

eyewitnesses described parents arriving to find bodies of teenage girls and young children killed instantly. Others buried under concrete. Both BBC and Dropsite were, we're covering this and I want to give I want to give that attention as well this is where we're at right now we'll keep you posted every step of the way here on the Midas touch network now hit subscribe let's get to 7 million subscribers and thanks for watching you might as merch drop check out
