Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump suing CBS for $20 billion?
I just want to make sure I have this correct. Donald Trump is suing CBS and 60 Minutes for $20 billion because he's claiming that back in October of 2024, they aired an interview of former Vice President Kamala Harris that had some edits in it, although the full interview was separately accessible. But then Donald Trump's interviews are always frequently heavily edited by Fox.
And then when Donald Trump just did an interview this weekend with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press on NBC, massive portions of the interview were deleted and edited out. From what ultimately aired to the public, if you went on the NBC website, which our editorial team did, they did post the full interview there. And some of the most damaging clips of Donald Trump were not aired publicly.
So I want to get this straight. can I become a billionaire now? Because Donald Trump sued CBS for $20 billion, claiming that his injury, and by the way, Ronny Jackson, MAGA Republican Congress member from Amarillo, Texas, was added to the lawsuit so Donald Trump could forum shop to have the case heard in the Northern District of Texas before a judge that Donald Trump likes
They're alleging that they are consumers who were injured because it hurt their eyes as consumers to take in what they said was an edited interview of former Vice President Kamala Harris. They said $20 billion is the damage. Okay, so... Folks, $20 billion. Maybe I'll buy us all yachts and jets or whatever the oligarchs get because I think I've been injured. $20 billion. What do you think?
Well, we've got the footage here at the Midas Touch Network. Shall we look at what NBC deleted on Meet the Press? It was on their website, but it was not shown publicly on Meet the Press. Let's take a look, shall we? We did a whole report on this on MidasPlus.com. Subscribe to our sub stack and on MidasNews.com as well. What did they take out?
Maybe a reference to Jeff Bezos and how Donald Trump basically shook down Bezos. Bezos and Amazon were going to include the additional price of the goods being sold on Amazon. that are now caused by the tariffs. There was going to be a tariff line item, why your products cost more money. But Donald Trump, who says that the foreign countries eat the tariffs, he goes, they eat it.
They eat the tariffs. Okay, well, if they're eating the tariffs, then why are you worried about Jeff Bezos and Amazon putting tariffs on the receipt of the consumer? Well, anyway, this clip got edited out by NBC. I wonder why they edited this one out here. Play this clip. What did you say to Jeff Bezos?
He's just a very nice guy. We have a relationship. I asked him about it. He said, well, I don't want to do that. And he took it off immediately.
So he changed course. And will you take that same tactic with other CEOs?

Chapter 2: What was edited out of Trump's NBC interview?
So how do you deal with those CEOs?
How do you deal with those CEOs?
China is eating the tariffs right now.
What do you say to those CEOs who are saying, we might have to pass this on to the consumer?
Well, they say that because maybe it's to their advantage to say it. Will you punish them? No, because you know what? I want them to build plants in the United States. That way they don't have any tariffs. See, tariffs will, and not only will, look at what's happened. In two months, we're close to $9 trillion of investment. We've never been anywhere near that. Okay.
Well, if you want to know my opinion, why NBC edited that out, because if you take that clip- With the Bezos clip, it shows that Donald Trump is the most generous thing you can say about Donald Trump is that either he's an idiot, he has major cognitive issues. That's the nicest interpretation of him, honestly, right?
Because the alternative is that this is just an insane monster, which is probably all of the above right here. So the countries are eating it. OK, but Bezos is putting it on because the countries are eating it. And then you're calling Bezos to say, hide the tariffs. Doesn't this seem a little bit like like a miracle? It's all going to go away. Stop the testing. Stop the testing.
I've given this example before, and it just bears repeating right now. I saw that movie was with Leonardo DiCaprio and others called Don't Look Up. The asteroid is about to hit the earth and people see it coming. They see it coming. And then there's a whole movement of just don't look up. Don't look up, which to me is like a miracle. It's all going to go away. Don't look at the ports.
Don't see that shipping has come to a complete halt in Seattle, in Long Beach, in Boston. Don't look up. Don't see that the ships are all in Shanghai and in Chinese ports and they're not coming here. Don't look up. Don't see that this is having a disastrous impact systemically on our economy. And we know what the next several quarters are going to look like if we go down this path. Don't look up.
