Vance did another interview this past weekend where he brought up Epstein. Just kind of randomly, the prompt wasn't Epstein. Here's just some advice, J.D. Vance. If your running mate was close friends with Epstein, said that Epstein is a great guy, is currently using Epstein's jet, and you're trying to hide that fact despite Midas Touch

and others continuing to bring up the connection, maybe you don't give me the layup, J.D. Vance. So here's what J.D. Vance said during the interview on Sunday. Play this clip. Because the American people just don't buy the idea that Kamala Harris, who has been vice president for three and a half years, is somehow gonna tackle the inflation crisis

in a way tomorrow that she hasn't for the past 1,300 days. Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, Shannon, it's like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. The American people are much smarter than that. They don't buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a fresh start. She is more of the same. It is doubling down on the failed policies of the Harris administration to give Kamala Harris a promotion rather than to fire her,

which is what I think most Americans are gonna do on November. And by the way, you can see the interviewer on Fox looking at him like, are you stupid? What are you doing, Jay? Why are you bringing up Epstein? Just don't bring up Epstein. And by the way, JD Vance has like a history

of bringing stuff like this up. You know, the other thing if you're JD Vance is like, don't bring up couch. Just don't bring up couch. J.D. brings up couch. Play this clip. Now, I would call her up here to come and speak that then I think I'd have to sleep on the couch tonight. So I'll leave her alone. But, you know, or the other thing if you're J.D. Vance Vance it's like don't bring up the relationship

between husband and wife of spouse your running mate has married three different women has kids with three different women cheated on his current wife with porn star who he was cheating on with playboy playmate who he's buried his first wife Iv, at the country club where he's now holding press conference and let the shrubs grow over it, whose first wife accused him of sexual assault, who's been found liable for sexual assault recently in front of a federal jury. Don't bring it up. Don't bring it up, J.D. J.D. brings it up here. Play the clip. I had just been announced as a VP nominee. I gave my big speech and I saw my wife and I gave her a big hug and a kiss because I love my wife. And I think that's what a normal person does.

Tim Walz gave his wife a nice firm Midwestern handshake and then tried to sort of awkwardly correct for it. So I think that what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren't comfortable in their own skin because they aren't comfortable with their policy positions for the American people. And so their name calling, instead of actually telling the American people how they're gonna make their lives better. I think that's weird, Dana, but like they can call me whatever they want to. You're saying Tim Walz doesn't have affection for his wife?

I don't even understand that. I said that he acted weird, which he did on a national stage in front of his wife and in front of millions of Americans. All right, JD, because you're the one bringing this up, should I mention the connections? Why don't I start in the past 12 hours of the Donald Trump Epstein connections? I'll start in the past 12 hours and then we'll go back. So Donald Trump's campaign released a new campaign video, an official video this weekend with some rapper, Kodak Black or something is

the name of the rapper. That's how Donald Trump believes he's appealing to the black community, that and by selling these like ugly assassination edition sneakers. But the lyrics of the song talk about a woman going on all fours. You'll listen to the lyrics right now. I'm just going to play you four seconds of it. Don't worry. I'm not going to play the whole thing. Then you have Donald Trump doing the weird two-fist dance with the guy who was the chair sniffer, streamer, the guy who sniffs the butts of women and people who he considers alpha males, whatever. I remember Trump did that interview with that guy. So he's doing the dance with that guy in front of like a rented Tesla Cybertruck. And then Trump gets on Epstein's jet.

So Donald Trump is now using the Epstein jet, the one that Epstein used to traffic women. Donald Trump is like renting that from a buddy of his who's a Republican donor who got it from like the Epstein estate sale. Donald Trump now wraps the Epstein jet. Now says Trump 2024 on it. And here's the campaign video that Trump put out. I'm just going to show you four seconds of it. Here, play this clip.

So I told you I would just start with the Epstein connections in the past 12 hours. Okay, now let's go back. We reported here on the Midas Touch Network that Donald Trump was using Epstein's private jet. Look, Donald Trump's plane continues to break down because he's cheap and his big airplane actually is a horrible airplane. And so is the airplane for JD Vance, because again, Donald Trump is cheap and actually doesn't really, has a big plane, but it's not a good plane. So he's been flying around in Epstein's jet place to place. You see him bragging about it there, but I could back up more and talk about all of the Epstein connections here, which I know corporate media

is too afraid to talk about. Well, Donald Trump told the New York Magazine or New Yorker at one of the others, I have it right here, back back in 2002 that Jeffrey Epstein is a great guy who likes women on the younger side or girls on the younger side. Trump brought his kids around Epstein. Trump hung out with Epstein all of the time. In fact, Epstein would traffic women from Mar-a-Lago. It's an undisputed fact. Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims, was trafficked from Mar-a-Lago. She was found at Mar-a-Lago. She was homeless. She then got a job at Mar-a-Lago after being homeless. And then Ghislaine Maxwell found her at Mar-a-Lago and then brought her to Epstein, trafficked her from Mar-a-Lago and then brought her to Epstein. And then in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Jeffrey Epstein's right hand, the trafficker for Epstein's Ghislaine Maxwell.

Remember Trump was asked about Ghislaine and Donald Trump was asked, well, what do you want to say to her? She's on criminal in a federal criminal trial for trafficking. Donald, what are you going to say about her? What Donald Trump said is I wish her well. Here, play this clip. Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison. And so a lot of people want to know if she's going to turn in powerful people. And I know you've talked in the past about Prince Andrew, and you've criticized Bill Clinton's behavior. I'm wondering, do you feel that she's going to turn in powerful men? How do you see that working out? I don't know. I haven't really been following her too much. I just wish her well, frankly.

I've met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach. And I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is. I don't know the situation with Prince Andrew. Just don't know. Not aware of it. It can go back to Donald Trump's past in the early 1990s when he hosted the Look of the Year competition with 14-year-old girls. This is documented and undisputed.

There was a party, a yacht party Trump was on in Manhattan, the spirit of New York, where 14-year-old girls were brought on this yacht. Donald Trump and older men were on the yacht, according to the Guardian article. The older men, old enough to be the girls' grandparents. Here are the photos of the girls, by the way. And here's another photo of the girls with Trump taking a photo with the girls from the look of the year. I mean, just look at that first photo. I mean, that's horrifying that Trump, that was Trump's business, doing events with girls that age dressed like that. Let's just put that into perspective for a second.

And then the men old enough to be the girls' grandparents would grind on the girls. Completely disgusting, absolutely disgusting stuff. Then you have Donald Trump bragging that he would look at the girls from his pageant naked. And he told Howard Stern that, you know, he's the head of he's the head of the competition. So he gets to do it. He said he said he gets to do it here, play this clip. Well, you could also say is the owner of the pageant. It's your obligation to do that. So so you have done that. I'll tell you, the funniest is that I'll go backstage before a show. Yes.

And everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. And, you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore, I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting. I want to make sure that everything is good. You're like a doctor. You're there. Is everyone okay?

You know, they're standing there with no clothes. Is everybody okay? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that. Are you tired of terrible coffee while you're on the go? As a busy guy, whether I'm getting ready for work, I'm out traveling or I'm just out and about on any given day, I've tried it all. And you know, as the resident coffee geek here at Midas, my standards are very high. Portable coffee makers often fall short. They either make bad coffee, like disgusting coffee, or they're a hassle to carry around.

But then I discovered the Aeropress Go Plus, and it changed everything. The Aeropress Go Plus is a complete travel coffee solution. It's not just a coffee maker. It's an entire brewing system designed for life on the go. It uses a customized tumbler that you could drink from and store your coffee maker in when you're done. It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. No mess, no fuss, just great coffee. I've been using the original Aeropress for more than a decade. I know you've heard me sing its praises on the show so many times, and I've seen all you rave about the Aeropress in the comments. So to have everything that I love about the Aeropress in a complete travel coffee system, it is like a dream come true for me. Unlike other travel coffee makers, the AeroPress Go Plus delivers smooth, rich coffee with

a full-bodied finish. It combines the best qualities of a French press, a pour-over, and an espresso machine all in one cup. Plus, it uses air pressure to speed up the brew process, so there's no bitterness and no over-extraction. It's so good, I prefer to drink my coffee out of my Aeropress Black. It makes for the smoothest, most full-bodied coffee that you could really drink and enjoy. Imagine having great coffee no matter where you are or what you're doing with the Aeropress Go Plus. You can brew a perfect cup in just two minutes. It's the first time I felt I could have

great coffee wherever I go, whether I'm on a camping trip with friends or just running late for a meeting. And here's an incredible offer just for our listeners. Visit aeropress.com slash Midas.

Trump started fantasizing about sexual relations with Lohan because Donald Trump believed that she has mental health issues and said that would make her better for him to have sex

with. Here, play this clip. What do you think of Lindsay Lohan? I think she's hot. There's something there, right? Yes. But you have to like freckles. I've seen a close-up of her chest.

Yes. And a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles? If the father's a wreck like the way he is... Right. ...you imagine the sex with this troubled woman... Yeah, you're probably right. She's probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed.

Back in the day... How come the deeply troubled women... Yes. You know, deeply, deeply, deeply troubled, they're always the best in bed. If for some reason what I said is true, I mean, they're just unbelievable. I can tell from the... You don't want to be with them for the long would, during the beauty pageants, would inspect the girls changing or the women naked, just so you hear other perspectives firsthand of women who were in the beauty pageants. Here, play this clip. Is it normal to see men in dressing rooms at pageants and the owner of the pageant?

No. No. The director of the North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama pageants, it's very much a family atmosphere. She doesn't even go backstage when the girls are getting ready. Only the female chaperones are allowed backstage in the dressing rooms with the girls. I've never had an experience where there were men or directors or anything like that walking back in the dressing rooms. Yeah. As I understand there, you have an experience of something that happened the night before the pageant? Well, not the night before the pageant, but when we were in New York City on the media tour, they were doing a book launch at Trump Towers for the Universal Beauty book. And they had a bunch of former Miss USAs and Miss Universes and all 51 of us. And we did the red carpet and that was tons

of fun. And then they lined us all up and Trump went down the line and he shook your hand and looked you over, looked you up and down, head to toe, and was just checking everybody out. And you thought you felt? I felt very dirty. It was very creepy. It's kind of like when you're at a bar and a creepy guy is checking you out. That was the experience for me. Here's Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona 2001, talking about what Donald Trump would do. Play this clip. He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing

or anything. Some girls were topless, other girls were naked. As Miss Arizona 2001, Tasha Dixon competed in the Miss USA pageant. Donald Trump owned the contest along with Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA for 19 years. Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis. To have the owner come waltzing in when we're naked or half naked in a very physically vulnerable position, and then to have the pressure of the, you know, the people that work for him telling us to go fawn all over him,

go walk up to him, talk to him. And Dixon has strong opinions about what she thinks were Trump's motivations. I'm telling you, Donald Trump owned the pageant for the reason to utilize his power to get, you know, around beautiful women. Dixon, who lives in West Hollywood, was 18 at the time.

Who do you complain to? He owns the pageant. So, there's no one to complain to. Everyone there works for him. The year she competed, the theme was empowering women. And after hearing recent audio of Trump talking about women, she decided to speak out. I miss Arizona, so I veer more on the conservative side. Um, but I just like to

choose what's right. And then we prepared this video at the Midas Touch Network. We produced this video yesterday, and it shows Vice President Kamala Harris's interactions with children, Donald Trump's interactions with children. Let me show you? Yeah. Thank you. You're going up the escalator? Yeah. I'm going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?

Chloe already has her cape on. That's Miss Harris. Oh, my goodness. You wore your cape. I forgot to wear my cape. Look at you. Come here. Let me see you.

Do you want to go around? We'll get a photo of you. Everybody wants to come. I'm so excited. You're going to talk to me. I, let me see you. You wanna go around, we'll get a photo of you? Everybody wants to know. And so, are you going to talk to them about anything else? Yeah, did you talk to them about the old news? Yeah, what are we gonna do when we take the news? Are we gonna be strong? Can we work hard? Fine? And we're all back?

Yeah? What does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla's? She's got Marla's legs. We don't know whether or not she's got this part yet, but time will tell. Maya and Jasmine. My sister's name is Maya. She's usually with me. Let me see your Maya.

Let me see your Maya. You always hold that chin up. You always hold that chin up, You always hold that chin up. Okay? If you don't like it, I'll take it. You will? Okay. We'll sit there.

We have a party. Really beautiful, really beautiful is Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton. And I've known Paris Hilton from the time she's 12. She's hot. Her parents are friends of mine. And, you know, the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and said, Who the hell is that?

Did you want a banger? I'll tell you the funniest is that I'll go backstage before a show. Yes. And everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. And, you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore, I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting.

And I want to make sure that everything is good. Is everyone okay? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. Is everybody okay? And you see these incredible-looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that. And just here are some clips of how Donald Trump talked about his daughter, Ivanka. Play this clip.

She does have a very nice figure. I've said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. Stop it! Ivanka, what's the favorite thing you have in common with your father? Either real estate or golf. Donald, with your daughter? Well, I was going to say sex, but I can't relate that much. Stop it!

If I weren't happily married and, you know, her father. My daughter, Ivanka. Yeah. She's six feet tall. She's got the best body. stop it if i weren't happily married and you know her father my daughter ivanka yeah she's six feet tall she's got the best body by the way your daughter she's beautiful can i say this a piece of ass she looks more voluptuous than ever she's actually always been very voluptuous she's almost six you're going up the escalator i'm going to be dating her in 10 years. And by the way, I've shared this before, Ivana's deposition testimony, where she accused Donald Trump of raping her. And then she took it back and said that she didn't mean it in a literal sense. And she asked for a retraction in the book that reported on her deposition.

And she said, I didn't mean it in a literal sense. After Trump's lawyers got involved, and I think she had to sign a kind of a non-disclosure agreement or a legal agreement there. But this is the Pandora's box that J.D. Vance wants to chat about and talk about. Look, it's the same J.D. Vance during that interview who said basically the polls are all rigged to suppress Republican votes right now, is what he said. How does that not line up then with another poll we got out this morning, Washington Post, ABC, they're giving the vice president nationally a four to five point lead. I mean, those are new numbers. So if you think the momentum is not swinging or your internal polls are suggesting differently,

every other poll that's been released has shown great momentum in her direction. You know, Shannon, I think there are a lot of polls that actually show her stagnating and leveling off. Of course, ABC Washington Post was a wildly inaccurate pollster in the summer of 2020. And look, if you see the numbers that we're seeing and you actually talk to the American people, I feel extremely confident that we're going to be in the right place come November. We can't worry about polls. We have to run through the finish line and encourage everybody to get out there and vote. But our message is going to be very simple.

If you want to get back to the peace and prosperity, the rising take-home pay, Donald Trump delivered it once and he can do it again. If you want to double down on the failed policies that have delivered higher food prices and higher housing prices, well, Kamala Harris has been vice president for three and a half years, and I guarantee she's going to make the problem worse if the American people give her a promotion. The thing we have to remember, one final point. Let me just say one final point on this, Shannon, because I think it's important. Consistently, what you've seen in 2016 and 2020 is that the media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters. I'm telling you, every single person who's watching this,

the Trump campaign is in a very, very good spot. We're going to win this race. We just have to run through the finish line. Well, J.D., you allowed me to bring out those receipts. So that's who you want to talk about. That's, you know, you want to bring that up. You know, I know we all, you know, you all said the Epstein list, reveal the list. Okay, well, Trump's all over it. He's on the call logs, he's on the message logs, he's on the flight logs. During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, someone who was 14 years old at the time said that Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 14. It's all over.

It's all over. You have the list now. It's in deposition testimony. Think about it. Hit subscribe. I want to get to 3 million subscribers this month. This week, I want to get to 3 million. Let's do it.
