On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: While the markets nosedived and resembled a Trump meme coin, Donald Trump spent yet another weekend golfing—this time declaring himself the winner of his own tournament. Meanwhile, deadly storms killed 18 Americans, four U.S. soldiers died in Lithuania, and Trump said nothing. We break down Trump’s Oval Office press conference with Israeli PM Netanyahu, where they laid out plans for Gaza with no Palestinian input, as major protests erupted across the country demanding a ceasefire. Plus, we cover a chilling new Supreme Court ruling allowing a Trump-era policy to stand—one that forcibly deported a migrant to a so-called "concentration camp" in El Salvador. Buckle up.

Chapter 1: How did Trump's weekend golf affect public perception?
Donald Trump was golfing once again this weekend after crashing the markets on Friday. Donald Trump announcing that he won yet another golf tournament, and that was blasted on state regime media known as Fox. Today, by the way, as Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C., the market now resembles a Trump meme coin. Down, up, down, up. It does not look like a stable market.
Many CEOs are saying that the country is already in a recession. Donald Trump's message, he's not going to change anything. He doesn't give an F. Also, throughout the country, as Trump was posting these photos of himself playing golf and also making posts saying Trump is intentionally crashing the markets. We also learned tragic news. Storms across the country killed 18 Americans.
The United States received four American soldiers who died in Lithuania. Donald Trump was not at that ceremony where you would normally see a president. Instead, Donald Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago and Palm Beach to die. And then today, Donald Trump was in the Oval Office with who else? Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
And with Netanyahu by his side, Donald Trump was talking about seizing control of Gaza, putting American forces or peace forces in Gaza and calling it a great piece of real estate. But throughout this weekend as well, we saw major protests sweep the country. The hands-off protests, which we were covering here earlier, at all levels at the Midas Touch Network.
I think there was about over 5 million protesters when you add up all of the different cities, thousands of cities and towns across the country and the world, notably corporate news, really did not cover this at all. But thankfully here at the Midas Touch Network, we made it a priority to cover those. The same way we made it a priority to focus on these shadow hearings being held by Democrats.
Today, we were getting 30,000, 35,000 viewers at some point in times while we were watching that as they focused on Donald Trump's attack of lawyers and the Department of Justice. And speaking of the law, I want to talk about this horrible Supreme Court ruling.
from earlier in the day about the kidnapping of a migrant from El Salvador who the Trump regime sent back to El Salvador against the order of a court, an immigration court from 2019. The Supreme Court stopped a lower court order which directed the Trump regime to bring back this individual. So Trump now has more time to delay as this individual rots in a El Salvador concentration camp
And the implications here are just broader than that individual as well. If Trump can do that to this individual, who else can he do that to? We'll talk about that and more here on the Midas Touch podcast. I've been joined by Brett and Jordy Brothers. How are you doing?
Doing great. Great to see you, brothers. Great to see everybody watching. Great to be speaking with all the people listening on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. What a weekend, you guys. The hands-off protests, absolutely incredible. The biggest mobilization that we have seen to date. Hey, Donald, you finally got those crowds that you were talking about.

Chapter 2: What were the key events Trump ignored this weekend?
Donald Trump calls the question stupid when she asks, what kind of pain tolerance? Do you think the American people are going to take? He calls her stupid. And then he says the American people need to take their medicine. I'm feeding them the medicine. You need to take the medicine. This is what sociopaths abusers sound like. Here, let's play this clip.
Is there a pain in the market?
At some point, you're unwilling to tolerate this idea of a Trump put.
Is there a threshold? I think your question is so stupid. I think it's a I don't want anything to go down. But sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something. And we have such a horrible. We have been treated so badly by other countries because we had stupid leadership that allowed this to happen.
America is the, was the richest nation in the world. America. Under former President Biden had the highest GDP growth. We had low unemployment. We had record job growth. We were energy independent.
And as we'll show you later in this episode, now what these Trump regime officials like Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, and Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary, and Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, what they're saying is,
What we want to do is, you know, like how in China they put together the iPhones, like we want to create those factories here so that Americans are putting all the screws and widgets together into the iPhones and that they think that Americans are miraculously going to start doing those jobs. At the same time, they're also saying that they want AI and robots.
to replace low wage labor jobs as well nothing that they say makes sense and as we'll talk about later in the show as well the tariff formula for their liberation day which is really annihilation day or great recession or depression or liquidation day whatever you want to call it the very formula is is incorrect even a conservative think tanks are saying your formula which is also not based on reciprocal tariffs which is based on your calculating trade deficits
as a form of a tariff, which makes no sense. But even if you applied this concept that a deficit is a tariff somehow, the formula is applied incorrectly. And it just goes to show everything they do is just incorrect and erroneous as well. But let's get back to what I was going down on Air Force One, where Donald Trump landing

Before I found Public Rec, I dreaded putting on real pants. You know, the ones, tight waistbands, stiff fabric, squeezing all the wrong places. Honestly, it would make me like not even want to go out at all. But then I discovered Public Rec and everything changed. I'm obsessed with these pants. The first time I slipped them on, I could not believe how comfortable they were.
It felt like I was wearing joggers, but I looked like I could walk into a nice dinner or hit the bar. I've worn them to meetings, out to grab drinks, to workouts, and even on a long flight, and yep, I have absolutely fallen asleep in them too. Public Rec nails that perfect balance between comfort and style.
True story, after I got my first pair, I loved them so much I went right back on their website and ordered them in just about every single color. I am already eyeing their shorts and hoodies next. Comfortable enough for the couch, sharp enough for the city. For a limited time, you can get 20% off at Public Rec by using code MIDUS20 at checkout. Just head to publicrec.com and use code MIDUS20.

If there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after a night of drinking, it's with pre-alcohol. ZBiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the recent Supreme Court ruling?
And back before Bill Maher went sideways, he used to warn that this is something that he wants to bring to the states, these military-style parades.
Well, we're seeing all the things that he wanted to do in his previous presidency, but there were guardrails that still existed then, and there were people that were around him to tell him no, generals, military. He's purged all those people, and he's completely taken over the Republican Party. And now they just go, yes, you want a parade? We'll give you a parade, sir.
So whether or not he's going to do this or not, I think the obvious answer is yes. He's going to do this. And this is going to be one of the most bizarro things to take place in the streets of D.C. that we've ever, quite frankly, seen.
Jordy, this is why the whole thing is a sham. The whole administration is a – the whole thing is a sham. Because if you were really concerned about wasteful spending, you wouldn't spend more than $100 million on something like this. And that's – I'm honestly almost like upset by a lot of the things just from like a –
intellectual level, I guess, because when I look at what Elon Musk has done with Doge, for example, it could have been an amazing opportunity, honestly, to make the government more efficient if you actually had an honest broker at the helm, if you had people giving legitimate numbers, if you had, like I said earlier with the tariffs,
a plan rather than let's just throw all this stuff out in the first few weeks fire people make them lose their jobs have all these lawsuits have all this chaos destroy these agencies make it so people can't even get weather forecasts in some areas make it so people are waiting hours online for their social security phone calls all that stuff there was a way that you could go through and you could actually make the government more efficient
And I would love that, quite frankly. And I'm sure there's an Elon Musk of the past who would have been very good at that. Elon Musk before he got red-pilled or propagandized by his own social media app or whatever the heck that happened with Elon Musk. Because I think that would have been a great opportunity. Instead, this is an administration. It's the gang that can't shoot straight.
They can't do anything right. Doge is all a scam. It's the whole thing. They say these big numbers. They're fake. They put these numbers on their website. You look into them for a second. There were contracts that were already canceled 10 years ago, or the numbers are inflated. It's all a scam.
And with this military parade in 2018 or 2019, whatever the year was, it was one of those years that they were going to do this parade. It was going to cost over $90 million for the parade alone. And then an additional about $20 million in order to fix the streets and the damage because the Streets in Washington, D.C.

Chapter 5: What were the outcomes of the mass protests?
I know it's not fun to wake up to all this chaos, especially after years and years and years of relative quiet and stability and looking at positive headlines and alliances growing and stock market records and stuff. and GDP records and employment growing and new factories opening. And we're not seeing that anymore.
We're in a totally different country that I, quite frankly, do not recognize at all. But that means that we need to double our efforts. That means we need to work that much harder. And so that's what we're going to do here.
