Description

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, the brothers break down Trump’s reversal on plans to shut down California’s I-5 freeway after MeidasTouch exclusively exposed his “vanity military parade.” Trump indicts another one of his political enemies, this time his former national security adviser, John Bolton. They also dive into Trump’s hours-long call with Vladimir Putin and his tease of another meeting between the two, the GOP’s spiraling dysfunction amid the ongoing government shutdown, and the unraveling of Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” in Gaza. Plus, Ben, Brett, and Jordy cover the latest developments in the No Kings protests and what they reveal about the growing resistance to authoritarianism at home and abroad — and so much more.

0.47 - 23.381 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

We have a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. You have John Bolton being indicted at the behest of the Trump regime in Maryland, an 18 count felony indictment. We'll break down what happened there in the federal court in Maryland. Then we'll talk about what happened in the Illinois appeals court, where the court of appeals with a Trump appointed judge, a George H.W.

23.461 - 44.061 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

Bush judge, and an Obama judge all agreed that Trump's invasion of Chicago was patently unlawful and that the protests that were taking place in Chicago against the Trump regime did not create a pretext for any type of military invasion. You had Donald Trump speaking with Vladimir Putin on a day where

44.041 - 66.414 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

where Trump was supposed to announce, yet again, that there could be sanctions against Russia and perhaps Tomahawk missiles being transferred to Ukraine. Donald Trump said that his call with Putin went great, and then now they're going to have more talks. And, of course, yet again, Putin got what he wanted. No sanctions on Russia, no Tomahawk weapons to Ukraine.

Putin knows how to play Donald Trump like a frickin' dog. Meanwhile, the deal between Israel and Hamas seems to be falling apart. It's easy to predict when Israel and Hamas did not actually sign the deal. They were not signatories. All these other countries signed it, but not the two parties that were the subject of the deal. You have Benjamin Netanyahu not agreeing to a two-state solution.

91.742 - 110.177 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

You have his finance minister, a guy named Smutrich, a far-right guy, talks about building more establishments in Gaza, building more settlements in Gaza. You have Hamas saying that it's not going to disarm and never intended to disarm under the deal. They said that was never part of it.

110.157 - 127.997 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

You had Donald Trump saying earlier this week that he spoke with Hamas and he told them, I'm good with you, Hamas, patrolling like police. Go after the bad gangs, but you have to behave yourself, Hamas. Behave yourself. And now Trump's like, they may not be behaving like they told me, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Donald Trump didn't say anything.

127.977 - 147.268 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

that he supports a two-state solution. I'm not sure with all of those factors how there was ever going to be a sustainable peace, but corporate news was spiking the football and buying into Trump's narrative. Look, I'm glad that the hostages were returned. Of course, I'm glad about the prospect of a ceasefire, but the structural issues surrounding this

147.248 - 157.34 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

I think, phony deal were obvious to us here at the Midas Touch Network. By the way, 24 Palestinians have been killed since the purported ceasefire has been announced. It's an important point to mention as well.

157.981 - 179.767 Ben (Benjy/Ben MidasTouch)

Midas Touch Network broke the story of the potential for Navy warships over the weekend to launch missiles into Camp Pendleton off the coast in San Diego, launching missiles into the military base there. Minus touch broke the story. Governor Newsom confirmed the story. The Trump regime seems to be backing off of that, but we will talk about what went down there.
