Speaker 22 Bombshell after bombshell today as Donald Trump's birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein for Epstein's 50th birthday was made public after the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee were able to get to it via a subpoena.

Speaker 21 It has Donald Trump's signature on it.

Speaker 26 It's exactly as it was described.

Speaker 20 by the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 21 Now the Trump sycophants are claiming that the signature, now that the actual letter has been released, is one gigantic forgery.

Speaker 21 It was apparently some plot by the Epstein estate to, I don't know, plant this in Epstein's birthday book over 20 years ago so that when you went back to the future, Donald Trump could be framed for talking about secrets and enigmas.

Speaker 41 And anyway, we'll go over what's in that birthday letter, but also there was more damaging news that was released from this first batch of documents that were released from the Epstein estate.

Speaker 48 You see, unlike the DOJ, which is just turning over a bunch of old documents that are irrelevant, that were already previously produced.

Speaker 53 This batch of documents by the Epstein estate, based on this subpoena, actually has some information that's very insightful.

Speaker 27 So, from this Wall Street Journal article that talks about the new batch of information that was released from Epstein's birthday book, there's a photo of Jeffrey Epstein with a giant novelty check implying something about Trump selling him a woman for $22,500.

Speaker 30 It was one of Epstein's friends and a Mar-a-Lago member, Joel Pascal, who made a crude joke about women that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, and that's memorialized on another document.

Speaker 16 We'll see what Donald Trump has to say about that.

Speaker 74 Also, over the weekend, Donald Trump was booed at the U.S.

Speaker 76 Open.

Speaker 72 Donald Trump had ordered the United States Tennis Association to prohibit broadcasters from showing the booze, but there's something called cell phone cameras, Donnie, and we've got the footage of you getting booed over and over again.

Speaker 34 You know, Donald Trump left Washington, D.C., where there were major protests taking place against the military occupation there.

Speaker 81 Then he went to the United States U.S.

Speaker 66 Open in New York, where he got booed.

Speaker 73 And then he came back to D.C., where he held a press conference at the Bible Museum where he then started talking about today how domestic violence should not be counted as crimes.

Speaker 92 He was like, you know, when a man does something to a woman and that's counted as a crime, I'm like, why would you ever count that as a crime?

Speaker 41 On the same day that the Epstein birthday card is being released, Donald, and on the same day also where a federal court in New York, the Court of Appeals, ruled against you in the E.

Speaker 82 Gene Carroll appeal, where a jury awarded E.

Speaker 83 Gene Carroll $83.3 million

Speaker 102 for your defamation of her character

Speaker 24 after sexually assaulting her.

Speaker 73 After that finding was made by another jury.

Speaker 32 I'm going to cover what the Court of Appeals found as well.

Speaker 39 You have more information surfacing about Donald Trump's ICE raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia after Hyundai has invested a lot of money in the United States.

Speaker 24 Trump's ICE Gestapo rounded up hundreds of workers, mostly all of them here with valid permits.

Speaker 66 The ICE brigade rolled in as though they were like invading the plant.

Speaker 65 and started rounding up and shackling the workers.

Speaker 92 This has caused massive consternation in in South Korea.

Speaker 30 We'll talk about that and also ICE's other tactics.

Speaker 98 And, you know, the Supreme Court made a horrible ruling today, essentially allowing Donald Trump to racially profile Latinos

Speaker 72 in a decision that was reached, a I believe it's a six to three decision.

Speaker 97 The three liberal justices dissented.

Speaker 53 The majority, the right-wing extremist majority, said basically, you know, as it relates to Donald Trump's ICE racially profiling people in Los Angeles, their skin is a certain color and they're hanging out around certain places where migrants are known to be, which there's lots of migrants in Los Angeles.

Speaker 97 There's no issue about rounding people up first and asking questions later.

Speaker 118 Trump's roving, this is the language that was used.

Speaker 119 Trump's roving roundups of migrants and the shackling of them and putting them into detention centers and then asking questions later.

Speaker 66 The Supreme Court says in 2025, we're cool with that.

Speaker 60 The three liberal justices dissented and said, you know, there's something called the Constitution, there's something called the Fourth Amendment, there's something called unreasonable searches and seizures.

Speaker 82 And this would seem to fit the category and be the definition of that category.

Speaker 71 But that's what happens when you have a right-wing extremist Supreme Court.

Speaker 43 While all of this is going on as well, Donald Trump is posting memes about Chicago that he's calling chipocalypse, like Apocalypse Now.

Speaker 81 So the five-time draft-dodging Donald Trump, who didn't serve in Vietnam despite being drafted to do so, claiming that he had bone spurs, is now posting memes that reference the movie, what, Apocalypse Now, which, by the way, was an anti-Vietnam War movie.

Speaker 76 And didn't Donald Trump recently say every war and all of the things our military did after World War II were wokey or too wokey?

Speaker 32 Well, in any event, Donald Trump is posting Vietnam War imagery of helicopters dropping napalm in Agent Orange, but instead of on Vietnam, now it's in Chicago.

Speaker 81 And Donald Trump says, you'll find out soon why we've changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

Speaker 47 That is a direct threat to one of America's largest cities in Chicago.

Speaker 103 But this is what this deranged maniac does each and every single day.

Speaker 45 And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump, as you know, destroying the Rose Garden at the White House.

Speaker 64 He's put concrete all over it, and now he's calling the concrete area that's where the Rose Garden once was.

Speaker 57 He's calling it Club Rose Garden.

Speaker 124 It is now an exclusive club.

Speaker 81 It is a cabal, a club club for the cabal of elite Republicans, oligarchs, rich people who get to dine on the most expensive meals with lavish forms of entertainment that we the people, that taxpayers have to foot the bill for while Americans are suffering.

Speaker 64 One of the worst jobs reports in generations was released at the end of last week.

Speaker 27 We know that America is not growing in jobs.

Speaker 24 In June, we saw a job loss of about 13,000.

Speaker 14 Unemployment among young people is already in great recession, depression territory, over 10.5%

Speaker 93 unemployment for young people, 7.5% unemployment amongst African Americans.

Speaker 104 Farmers are suffering and pleading across the country that they're about to go bankrupt, even though this is what they voted for.

Speaker 110 No one wants to buy our soybeans anymore.

Speaker 116 No one wants to buy our produce anymore.

Speaker 10 USAID is destroyed, so we can't sell to them.

Speaker 17 The Department of Agriculture is gutted.

Speaker 84 We don't have any lifeline, you're hearing the farmer say across the country right now.

Speaker 87 So, in other words, we've got a lot to discuss here on the Midas Touch podcast.

Speaker 102 I'm going solo today.

Speaker 41 Geordie's on Papa Duty and Brett,

Speaker 67 newfound papa.

Speaker 94 So Brett just had a baby boy.

Speaker 97 Baby boy's name is Milo.

Speaker 73 Brett and his wife are with Milo right now.

Speaker 129 I had the opportunity to see Brett's young, his new child.

Speaker 127 Wow, such an incredible, incredible weekend that we had at the Micellis family.

Speaker 110 I don't want to share too much information because I know Brett wants to be the first person who will be able to share it with you, but a new member of the Micellis family.

Speaker 61 And I want to say shout out to Brett, shout out to Brett's wife, shout out to Brett's growing family, to the grandparents now,

Speaker 64 and our parents who have three grandkids right now.

Speaker 17 And so it was an incredible thing to be with Brett at the hospital.

Speaker 26 Brett's now back at his house after a very

Speaker 37 important weekend for, of course, Brett and for the Micellis family and for the Midas Mighty.

Speaker 108 So let's get into it.

Speaker 72 We've got a lot to discuss, folks.

Speaker 80 And so why don't we start by talking about the birthday book,

Speaker 27 the letter that Donald Trump said to Jeffrey Epstein back in 2003.

Speaker 131 This was the subject of that July expose by the Wall Street Journal, where they described the letter, how Donald Trump doodled a photo of

Speaker 30 the outline of a naked woman, although the outline, many people have said, looks more of the outline of

Speaker 16 a naked girl, is what I'm seeing a lot of people saying, the way it was doodled.

Speaker 97 That has been released, and it says everything that the Wall Street Journal said it was.

Speaker 126 We see Donald Trump's signature there.

Speaker 40 I will just read for you.

Speaker 66 This is Julia Davis says, just look at it.

Speaker 24 Was he drawing a girl or a woman?

Speaker 55 And this was, again, part of Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday.

Speaker 28 Gee-Lane Maxwell collected birthday letters from all of Epstein's friends.

Speaker 43 It wasn't just Donald Trump who sent it, it was lots of people who sent it over.

Speaker 24 So there's a lot of other corroborating letters in this book.

Speaker 77 And I mean, Donald Trump's is one of dozens and dozens of other letters.

Speaker 88 But during the height of Jeffrey Epstein running a pedosex trafficking ring in 2003, 2004, when he and Donald Trump were the closest of friends, here is what Donald Trump sent to Epstein.

Speaker 86 It was written in the form of like a movie script.

Speaker 26 And so it has like voiceover, what Donald says, what Jeffrey says.

Speaker 55 And it's a hypothetical conversation between the two.

Speaker 38 And it says voiceover.

Speaker 84 There must be more to life than having everything, Donald.

Speaker 94 Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is Jeffrey nor will I since I also know what it is Donald we have certain things in common Jeffrey Jeffrey yes we do come to think of it Donald enigmas never age have you noticed that Jeffrey as a matter of fact it was clear to me the last time I saw you Donald a pal is a wonderful thing happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret Donald J.

Speaker 34 Trump And you see Donald Trump's signature right there on the bottom.

Speaker 67 So after that, it seems pretty obvious.

Speaker 81 Now we have the receipts. Donald Trump sent it.

Speaker 27 That's Donald Trump's signature.

Speaker 108 I mean, what would the implication be that this is not Donald Trump's signature?

Speaker 45 That what the Epstein estate, which is the source of this document, not the Wall Street Journal, isn't the source of this document.

Speaker 81 It's the Epstein estate, which has this document right now.

Speaker 52 The question is, who leaked it to the Wall Street Journal?

Speaker 25 Was it someone in the Epstein estate?

Speaker 16 Was it Ghilaine Maxwell since she likely had copies as well, or her family may have copies and she was the one who put it together?

Speaker 74 We don't know if she leaked it or who leaked it.

Speaker 72 But the source of this, who has it, it's the Epstein estate.

Speaker 46 They maintain custody and control over this for all of the litigation, for the criminal cases, for the civil cases.

Speaker 137 And their job is to have a trustee to protect this information.

Speaker 14 So, the implication that, what, the Epstein estate planted this to attack Donald Trump, when you have all these other letters that are corroborating as well, at a time when Donald Trump was close friends with Epstein, and Trump said right around that time period, a year before, Trump's on record with New York magazine saying, Epstein is a great guy who likes beautiful women.

Speaker 43 Some say on the younger side, around the time that Donald Trump and Epstein would invite the girls of indeterminate age, women, girls, women, not clear their ages, but the people from Trump's beauty pageants, who ranged in ages from 14 to 28, unclear the ages of the people who would show up at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but it would be Trump and Epstein.

Speaker 45 And then they would tell these girls that there would be VIP modeling scouts there, but it would just be Donald and Epstein, according to people who helped bring the girls there.

Speaker 111 They thought they were going to like model agency interviews, and it was not.

Speaker 81 It was just Donald and Epstein there.

Speaker 76 So

Speaker 30 you have that going on in the background.

Speaker 24 So what?

Speaker 129 During all of this,

Speaker 97 that the Epstein estate created this thing as a fake?

Speaker 44 I mean, what are we talking about here? But

Speaker 15 that's actually what they're going with.

Speaker 40 The MAGA influencers like Eric Dowry go, holy shit, the Wall Street Journal just published that letter that President Trump sent to Epstein, and it's not even his signature.

Speaker 108 Defamation pay up?

Speaker 124 This is what the MAGA influencers are saying.

Speaker 109 Taylor Budowich goes, time for News Corp to open up that checkbook.

Speaker 41 It's not his signature.

Speaker 81 Defamation.

Speaker 80 You have Matt Gates, who, of course, has his own situation involving an underage girl, goes, they continue to lie about Donald Trump.

Speaker 55 Defamation in response to some of those other posts.

Speaker 19 Then you have Donald Trump's press secretary, chief propagandist, Caroline Levitt, publish published the latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 33 This is what she posted on her social media.

Speaker 23 The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal proves this entire birthday story is false.

Speaker 62 As I've said all along, it's very clear Trump did not draw this picture and he did not sign it.

Speaker 141 So just pause there for a second in response to clear, convincing, overwhelming evidence of his signature.

Speaker 82 Like remember when Donald Trump says, I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and I can get away with it.

Speaker 104 That's what they're doing.

Speaker 110 They're basically saying, look, this is his signature, but we think you all are so freaking stupid.

Speaker 82 We think the MAGA base is so dumb and the Fox viewers and everyone is so freaking dumb that we're going to say, this vindicates us.

Speaker 89 This is our total and utter vindication.

Speaker 49 And then she goes on to say, Trump's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.

Speaker 27 Furthermore, the reporter Joe Palazzolo, who wrote the hatchet job, reached out for comment at the exact minute he published his story, giving us no time to respond.

Speaker 109 This is fake news to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein hoax.

Speaker 89 And that's what they're going with.

Speaker 88 The Democrat Epstein hoax

Speaker 47 for all of the victims out there, for all of the future victims out there, as a result of rich men, billionaires who are involved in this sex trafficking ring, having it covered up for far too long.

Speaker 127 It should never have been covered up at all.

Speaker 93 They call it a Democrat hoax.

Speaker 116 The thing that the Republicans were saying all along that they want, this was their issue.

Speaker 26 They weaponized those Epstein files.

Speaker 59 They weaponized the pain and suffering of the victims to attack their political enemies, saying, oh, you're on the list.

Speaker 67 You're on the list.

Speaker 51 And when we were saying, what are you talking about?

Speaker 37 If anyone's going to be on there, Trump's going to be on there.

Speaker 116 He was like best friends with epstein they lived a few blocks away from each other in palm beach trump was all over the flight logs and the call logs and the call memos and epstein's black book and he's hung out with epstein a lot they're in a ton of photographs together we've seen the videos of them together all of the things that he said not to mention Donald Trump's been found liable for sexual assault.

Speaker 98 Donald Trump is on tape saying, because he's rich, he'll grab women by their genitals and you get away with it because you're rich.

Speaker 76 And then, when he was asked about it in a deposition, he said, Fortunately or unfortunately, when you're rich, they just let you do it when you're rich.

Speaker 37 Fortunately or unfortunately, he's also on tape telling young children that it's locker room talk at the Young Republicans Club, that it's locker room talk to say those types of things about grabbing women by their genitals.

Speaker 115 I mean, he is on tape talking about going to beauty pageants and expecting the girls or the women, of, depending on their age,

Speaker 81 naked and looking at them naked.

Speaker 66 He goes, because when you're on the beauty pageants, that's what you can do.

Speaker 127 There's so much data out there, but Trump was like, oh,

Speaker 104 it's the Democrats are going to be all of that.

Speaker 110 And everyone else was like, dude, just release the files.

Speaker 102 We don't care who's on the file.

Speaker 88 Ultimately, no one's trying to protect anybody.

Speaker 67 Who's ever in the files is in the files.

Speaker 81 Let's get the information.

Speaker 14 And now you have the Trump regime standard line is this was one massive hoax.

Speaker 88 You know, when I think too about this letter, the easiest thing for Trump to have said is, look,

Speaker 74 especially if you believe what MAGA Mike Johnson's been saying recently, that Trump was actually the hero in this and Trump was trying to stop Epstein, which, of course, nobody believes other than Trump's sycophants.

Speaker 66 On the one hand, it's a massive hoax.

Speaker 29 On the other hand, you have

Speaker 45 on the other hand, you have Donald Trump as the hero.

Speaker 110 Apparently, he's the hero in the hoax.

Speaker 25 I mean, what the hell is even going on there?

Speaker 45 But at the end of the day, why does Donald Trump just say, hey, you know, we lived close to each other.

Speaker 121 We knew each other.

Speaker 97 There's a lot of famous people who send these letters.

Speaker 66 So of course I'm in there. But he goes, no,

Speaker 14 absolutely not. I never signed this.

Speaker 60 I would never doodle.

Speaker 57 I would never do drawings like that.

Speaker 97 And now we have his signature and they say, not his signature at all.

Speaker 80 Fortunately, we have a lot of people, too, who have gotten letters from Donald Trump, so we can compare the signatures also.

Speaker 84 I mean, you had Keith Oberman, who Donald Trump once sent a letter to on March 28th, 2024.

Speaker 28 I mean, the signature is literally a direct match.

Speaker 72 You could put one of the signatures directly over the others right there.

Speaker 39 You have a letter that Donald Trump sent to Paolo Zampoli, who introduced Melania to Donald Trump.

Speaker 51 Looks identical.

Speaker 17 Adam Parkamenko had in his possession and custody a letter that Donald Trump once sent Hillary Clinton in November 2000.

Speaker 110 The Honorable Hillary Clinton, congratulations on your well-deserved victory is what Donald Trump wrote to Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 49 I know you will do a great job in Washington and I'm looking forward to having you represent us there for years to come.

Speaker 94 It's a direct, it looks exactly like the signature during that time period.

Speaker 118 There was a letter that Donald Trump sent to Mr.

Speaker 102 and Mrs.

Speaker 23 Larry King. I mean, you just go back and forth.

Speaker 96 It's clearly his signature right there.

Speaker 45 And at the end of the day, this is what MAGA is going with.

Speaker 47 And that, to me, over and over again shows you some of the dangers of MAGA in general.

Speaker 70 Like,

Speaker 138 why not just say, hey, yes, that's his signature.

Speaker 48 That's it.

Speaker 81 We're going to release the files.

Speaker 128 But they go, nope, this vindicates us.

Speaker 130 But that's what they do on every issue.

Speaker 80 The economy can be struggling the way it is now.

Speaker 66 What does Donald Trump say?

Speaker 32 We've brought in $17 trillion.

Speaker 32 And I'm about to invest the $17 trillion.

Speaker 109 You haven't brought in $1 trillion.

Speaker 71 You're making up these numbers.

Speaker 124 The entire GDP of the United States is $29 trillion.

Speaker 81 Who are you bringing in these $17 trillion from?

Speaker 43 From the tariffs?

Speaker 94 You've taxed Americans, and that's where you've raised $17 trillion?

Speaker 64 No.

Speaker 81 You went to the Middle East, and what do you say?

Speaker 61 He collected $5 trillion from Middle East countries whose entire GDP is nowhere near that range.

Speaker 14 What?

Speaker 62 United Arab Emirates, whose entire annual GDP is $440 billion, somehow gave you trillions of dollars.

Speaker 87 Did everybody see that video also?

Speaker 108 Because to me, it's so telling where you now have these oligarchs who are invited frequently into the White House, like Mark Zuckerberg.

Speaker 16 And he was caught on a hot Mike Zuckerberg just admitting that he was making up the numbers about what Meta or Facebook will be investing in the United States.

Speaker 103 Because when he was there sitting at this table, he was like, They're like, What are you going to invest?

Speaker 26 He's like, $600 billion.

Speaker 46 We're going to invest $600 a billion.

Speaker 66 Then he's caught on the hot mic.

Speaker 3 He's like, I don't know what, I don't know what number to give.

Speaker 144 I don't know what number to give.

Speaker 83 I mean, $600 billion?

Speaker 26 I know Meta does well.

Speaker 144 They don't have $600 billion in cash to invest in the U.S.

Speaker 47 And that's what all of these foreign countries are doing too.

Speaker 45 You give Trump a made-up number.

Speaker 51 He announces the fake numbers.

Speaker 72 There's no sign-binding deals, but we, the people, suffer.

Speaker 7 And then, even when you have a signed letter from Donald Trump to Epstein, not his signature, not everything they do, quite literally, everything they do is bad faith.

Speaker 120 I think we have that Zuckerberg clip.

Speaker 145 So, let me show you that Zuckerberg clip now. Let's play it.

Speaker 11 How much are you spending, would you say, over the next few years?

Speaker 68 Oh, gosh.

Speaker 59 I mean, I think it's probably going to be something like,

Speaker 146 I don't know, at least $600 billion

Speaker 135 through 28 in the U.S.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 147 It's a lot.

Speaker 1 No, it's significant.

Speaker 138 That's a lot.

Speaker 78 Thank you, Mark. It's great to have you.

Speaker 1 Sorry, it wasn't your worst.

Speaker 7 He said,

Speaker 1 I wasn't sure what number you wanted to deal with.

Speaker 97 On a hot mic, he said, I wasn't ready for that question.

Speaker 19 I wasn't sure what number to go with. And then Donald Trump is laughing.

Speaker 124 They're making up numbers while they screw we the people.

Speaker 27 When we come back, I want to tell you about what else was in that Epstein,

Speaker 66 that first tranche of documents that were produced by the Epstein estate.

Speaker 39 Another photo and letter to Epstein from a friend that references Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 I want to talk about that.

Speaker 43 I want to talk about Trump's appearance at the Bible Museum.

Speaker 29 I want to talk about the Supreme Court ruling today, allowing the Trump regime to racially profile Latinos.

Speaker 109 At the same time, Trump had a big loss before the Court of Appeals in the Egypt Carroll matter, where he's going to have to pay up that $83.3 million.

Speaker 142 And let's talk about the threats that Donald Trump's making to Chicago and more.

Speaker 99 Let's take our first quick break of the show.

Speaker 148 So you ever wake up and feel like your body just hit the snooze button on life? Yeah, same. Honestly, aging sneaks up on you in some wild ways.

Speaker 146 I have to tell you about this game-changing product I use before a night with drinks. It's called Pre-Alcohol.

Speaker 146 Z-Biotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.
Now, here's how it works.

Speaker 146 When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking.

Speaker 146 Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night.
Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

Speaker 146 Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying.

Speaker 146 So I first gave pre-alcohol a try when I was at a wedding over the summer. I drank it before my first cocktail, and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning.

Speaker 146 Now, fall is right around the corner, so that means it's time to raise a glass to your favorite team.

Speaker 32 As I mentioned before, we took the break.

Speaker 12 There were more documents that came to light from this subpoena that was issued by the House Oversight Committee at the urging of the House Democrats.

Speaker 34 I want to give a hat tip to Democratic Congressmember Robert Garcia.

Speaker 137 He's the new House Oversight Committee ranking member, and he's made a world of difference in really being aggressive and making sure that these documents get produced and holding the feet of the Trump regime and MAGA Republicans to the fire.

Speaker 16 So the House Oversight Dems published this as well.

Speaker 32 Another page from the Epstein birthday book has surfaced.

Speaker 40 Epstein and a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joke about selling a fully depreciated woman to Donald Trump for $22,500.

Speaker 19 This is how it was described in the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 25 The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump.

Speaker 27 It came from a businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member, Joel Pascal, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.

Speaker 81 The Pascal letter included a photo of a poster board size check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein.

Speaker 66 Beneath it, a handwritten caption said, Jeffrey showing early talents with money, plus woman sells fully depreciated, redacted her name, to Donald Trump for $22,500.

Speaker 108 The woman's name is redacted in the image.

Speaker 21 And it should be noted around that time that one of the secrets between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, according to Michael Wolf, is that they shared the same young person.

Speaker 81 Unclear what the age of this woman or girl was at the time, but they were allegedly dating the same individual, was how they referred to it as, who and she would go back and forth from the houses,

Speaker 26 one house to another house right there.

Speaker 132 Michael Wolf, by the way, has been appearing a lot on the Midas Touch network.

Speaker 48 He's Trump's most prominent biographer.

Speaker 31 Here's what he discusses about Trump and Epstein sharing a girlfriend before Melania with the sexual mechanics of how they would do it being unknown.

Speaker 145 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 149 The birthday letter that Donald Trump apparently wrote for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday and this idea that they shared a wonderful secret, what do you think he's referring to?

Speaker 150 I think that he is referring to

Speaker 150 the girlfriend that they shared at that point in time, 92, 93. So there was a

Speaker 136 woman,

Speaker 150 and as far as I know, she's not underage,

Speaker 150 but

Speaker 150 who they literally shared, who literally went back and forth between

Speaker 150 these two guys.

Speaker 12 And you have, by the way, that's why Michael Wolf's reporting right now is so important.

Speaker 22 That's why we bring it to you here on the Midas Touch Network as well.

Speaker 30 And hat tip there to the Daily Beast for that one.

Speaker 137 Just to remind you, when that Wall Street Journal story was written back in July of this summer, you had MAGA Mike Johnson saying how Donald Trump called him.

Speaker 138 Talked about how ridiculous the allegations were in the Wall Street Journal article.

Speaker 97 This is MAGA Mike on CNBC covering up for Donald Trump.

Speaker 7 Let's play it.

Speaker 153 Sirens on drudge. Woo, woo, woo, because someone drew, in 2003, might have drawn a picture of a, I don't know, a body letter

Speaker 153 before the guy even, you know, all the real info had even been out at that point, I don't think, about this guy.

Speaker 153 The president and I talked about that ridiculous allegation this morning. He said it's patently absurd.
He's never drawn such a picture. He's never thought of drawing such a picture.

Speaker 153 And he said, did you see the language of this bogus supposed communication or card or something I supposedly sent to Epstein? He said, I don't talk like that. I don't think like that.

Speaker 153 They're literally making things up. And he's so frustrated by it.

Speaker 153 And he's going to wind up, I think, suing some of the media outlets that have put all this out there because they informed them that it was totally contrived.

Speaker 151 Now, that right there was on CNBC.

Speaker 19 Okay, that's supposed to be a financial news network.

Speaker 34 Then you have that guy, Joe Cairn, in there, who's ultra MAGA with with MAGA Mike Johnson.

Speaker 25 That right there looks worse than even what you see on Fox or Newsmax or OAN.

Speaker 97 That's on CNBC right there.

Speaker 90 And even the way the CNBC host was framing it before anybody knew what was going down.

Speaker 142 What are you talking about?

Speaker 82 People knew what Epstein was doing in the 90s.

Speaker 138 in the 2000s.

Speaker 30 Donald Trump said that Epstein liked him young.

Speaker 119 I'm sick of a disgusting thing to say, knowing what we know now.

Speaker 67 Donald Trump and people close to Epstein knew.

Speaker 111 I'll give you an example how Donald Trump knew.

Speaker 55 Donald Trump has admitted that he said Epstein stole underage girls from Mar-a-Lago, which we then know those girls were sex trafficked.

Speaker 32 Virginia Jufre,

Speaker 109 underage girl working at the Mar-a-Lago Spa.

Speaker 81 She was located for the pedo-sex trafficking ring by epstein and ghylain at mar-a-lago while she was working there and when trump was asked about that recently he said that she was stolen that epstein like almost stole his property to which uh to which virginia jufra's family said jufrey that she's not property she's not she was a human being She was a human being who was sex trafficked.

Speaker 137 By the way, she since died by suicide in Australia after all of the pain and suffering that she's been through in her life.

Speaker 75 You go through that Ghylaine Maxwell interview that Donald Trump's former defense lawyer and now the number two at the DOJ, Todd Blanch, did.

Speaker 7 And it's Ghylaine Maxwell mocking and trying to discredit the victims.

Speaker 81 and basically saying she didn't see anything regarding Epstein or Trump or anything, but she said that she wasn't involved in anything.

Speaker 97 And she basically says the victims are making it up.

Speaker 94 In other words, she says hoax.

Speaker 67 That's what Donald Trump's basically saying right now.

Speaker 79 Donald Trump says it's a Democratic hoax.

Speaker 88 And then the Republicans say Ghelane has vindicated Donald, the convicted sex trafficker?

Speaker 47 who was sentenced to 20 years and shouldn't be rotting in a Tallahassee prison has vindicated Donald Trump.

Speaker 110 What the hell is wrong with these people?

Speaker 37 And frankly, what the hell is wrong with this country?

Speaker 116 And one of the things that's wrong with it is now that you're presented the clear, convincing evidence, people are like, why wouldn't they release the letters?

Speaker 57 Why? We have the letters now.

Speaker 103 We see it's Donald Trump's signature.

Speaker 62 It's 100% its signature.

Speaker 68 It's not the Epstein estate going back into the past to plant Donald Trump's letter when he and Epstein were close friends.

Speaker 89 And what do they do?

Speaker 120 They go forgery.

Speaker 56 They go forgery.

Speaker 89 This is what they do on every freaking single issue that is out there is a lie.

Speaker 32 And it's not just on the Epstein issues.

Speaker 97 It is on foreign policy, right?

Speaker 45 You look at foreign policy, what did they say with Russia?

Speaker 34 Very productive meetings.

Speaker 139 Putin's going to agree to a ceasefire, bilateral and trilateral conversations, security guarantees.

Speaker 90 He didn't agree to any of that.

Speaker 120 That was all a lie.

Speaker 70 You just bring in Putin so that Putin acts like he's some like conquering emperor into Alaska.

Speaker 47 You let him into the motorcade while he's laughing at the United States.

Speaker 83 And Sergei Lavrov, his foreign minister, is wearing USSR gear to mock the United States.

Speaker 116 This is their historical moment to mock America.

Speaker 66 America looks so weak and pathetic based on what Trump's doing in Alaska.

Speaker 43 And the same people out there who were saying, oh, this is a forgery of Donald Trump's signature are saying, look how strong he looks.

Speaker 65 And I'm like, no, he doesn't look strong.

Speaker 52 America doesn't look strong.

Speaker 102 What are you talking about?

Speaker 95 These are the same people who are getting rid of the scientific experts and the vaccination panels and saying, oh, vaccines are like slavery.

Speaker 127 What are you going to bring back polio and mumps and rubella and measles and the bubonic plague?

Speaker 110 I mean, what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 98 These are the people who are telling us windmills and solar energy are all frauds and we need to go back to coal.

Speaker 81 What are you talking about?

Speaker 104 It's the same people.

Speaker 112 And then they're normalized by the media as though this is a legitimate perspective.

Speaker 66 You need the media to say Donald Trump is a fraud, Donald Trump is a sexual abuser, Donald Trump is a criminal, and anybody else who's lying is aiding and abetting.

Speaker 62 We don't need a both sides of this story.

Speaker 67 Trump is lying.

Speaker 111 This was his letters that he sent to Epstein.

Speaker 85 He's terrified of this, despite the cryptic nature of this letter.

Speaker 40 Arguably, compared to the stuff that's out there that we hear Donald Trump saying about Epstein before and that we knew about before, this letter seems to be not as bad as the other stuff out there, except for the fact that he clearly must be hiding some real sick and disgusting things when talking about our enigmas, our secrets will remain secrets, they never age, or whatever the hell he's talking about at the time when the pedosex trafficking ring was taking place.

Speaker 45 I mean, what is going on there?

Speaker 90 So then you have that happening today.

Speaker 87 And at the same time, Donald Trump then goes and gives a speech at a

Speaker 81 Bible museum as he's gutting the Smithsonian and getting rid of American history.

Speaker 133 He's at the Bible Museum.

Speaker 37 And what do you think he talks about at the Bible Museum?

Speaker 61 What would your guess be?

Speaker 116 Praising the January 6th insurrectionists and attacking former President Joe Biden and saying Biden was mean to the insurrectionists.

Speaker 106 Yeah, that's one of the things that he did.

Speaker 50 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 154 In the Oval Office, they were stone cold.

Speaker 154 But Joe Biden and the Biden, they were mean people. What they did to people, what they did to J6, J6, what they did to so many people, they were mean people.

Speaker 154 These were really radical, horrible people.

Speaker 123 Mean people. They were being mean to what?

Speaker 13 The insurrectionists tried to overthrow the election?

Speaker 93 He was being mean to them, who were trying to kill cops.

Speaker 86 He was being mean to them.

Speaker 25 Then at the same Bible Museum press event, Donald Trump said, you know,

Speaker 35 People are telling me that like we're adding to the crime statistics, like men attacking women huh like like why why would we add that to the stats right here here he goes so much progress has been made in the last i'm going to find the other clip but here he goes so oh he goes crime is down to virtually nothing in dc and adds that the crimes that are happening are a much are a much lesser things he says he's like if a man has a little fight with a he goes if a man has a little fight with a woman they call that crime they're calling that crime now when a when a man beats a woman they call that crime here Here, play this clip.

Speaker 155 No, it's more than 87%.

Speaker 155 Virtually nothing.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 155 much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something.

Speaker 155 If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100%.

Speaker 155 But we are a safe city. You can walk to a restaurant.
You can walk to the White House if you work there. You could walk to the Capitol.

Speaker 155 And even the Democrats say, I can't believe it, but they don't want to admit it, but I can't believe it. We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles.
We did it.

Speaker 155 We saved Los Angeles.

Speaker 138 We saved Los Angeles?

Speaker 56 What are you talking about?

Speaker 41 You had National Guards people sleeping inside of buildings.

Speaker 36 They caused more problems than they helped.

Speaker 4 And then they go around the same way they'll say, oh, that's not Donald Trump's signature.

Speaker 22 That's a forgery.

Speaker 135 They go around and Trump claims that he put out the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Speaker 142 He goes, I turned on a faucet, and then the faucet let the water out and I saved L.A.

Speaker 138 That's how he said the first time.

Speaker 97 Then he goes, I saved him by sending the National Guard in when it was about to erupt into another fire.

Speaker 87 I said, and he kind of conflates the two stories also because his mind is just complete mush at this point.

Speaker 112 It was like,

Speaker 65 what do you mean you turned on a faucet?

Speaker 145 What are you talking about?

Speaker 43 After the fires were contained, you emptied 2 billion gallons of water from reservoirs in Northern California onto areas nowhere connected with Southern California and screwed over farmers who are already suffering because of your horrible economic policies that didn't reach Southern California, and the fires were 100% contained.

Speaker 103 I saved Los Angeles with the National Guard.

Speaker 65 National Guard were just sleeping on the floor.

Speaker 123 You remove them from their drug interdiction, doing it the right way, where the National Guard in California is often used to stop drugs from coming in, and it's used very productively and successfully.

Speaker 80 You remove them from the mission to sleep on a floor in Los Angeles,

Speaker 125 and then for him to say that he's solved crime,

Speaker 30 which he hasn't.

Speaker 81 And then say that we shouldn't count domestic violence as a crime.

Speaker 108 We could play the game. Imagine if Biden said that.
Imagine if Obama.

Speaker 46 Imagine if George W.

Speaker 81 Bush said domestic violence should not be counted as a crime.

Speaker 117 And Donald, if people are so happy with what you're doing in D.C., why were there mass protests over the weekend?

Speaker 103 Why did tens of thousands of people show up in some of the biggest protests yet in Washington, D.C., saying end the military occupation now?

Speaker 97 Because no, you're not making the city safer.

Speaker 58 We do not want military to occupy states and cities in states.

Speaker 65 That is anti-American.

Speaker 32 It is, frankly, unlawful.

Speaker 92 And that's what Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 126 And then the latest threats, of course, are Chipocalypse or whatever he's calling it right now, where he posted memes this weekend saying, I love the smell of deportations in the morning.

Speaker 55 Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of War, to which Governor Newsom writes, the President of the United States is deploying the military onto U.S.

Speaker 76 streets and using our troops like political pawns.

Speaker 83 Do not allow yourself to become numbed to this.

Speaker 52 For those listening on audio, you probably have seen the image before, but it's of helicopters like invading the city of Chicago and blowing it up.

Speaker 7 The apocalypse now referenced to either Napalm or Agent Orange being put all over Chicago is a direct threat to our country.

Speaker 66 You know, and as I've had a lot, we launched Midas Canada recently.

Speaker 76 And as Charlie Angus said, how could you do a deal with this guy when this is how he treats his own country?

Speaker 10 When this is how he treats his own cities and states, the third biggest and most

Speaker 72 productive city, Chicago, is where you're going to attack, attack D.C., attack Los Angeles.

Speaker 97 How do you deal with a guy who is intent on invading American cities to appear and try to be this wannabe fascist and this wannabe dictator.

Speaker 32 Hypocalypse now.

Speaker 86 Could you ever imagine in the United States of America?

Speaker 52 And then Donald Trump was asked about it.

Speaker 32 A female reporter asked him a question and said, so what are you going to do to invade Chicago?

Speaker 133 Why are you going to war?

Speaker 110 And he goes, darling, be quiet.

Speaker 7 He calls her darling.

Speaker 81 He goes, darling, be quiet.

Speaker 108 You're second rate, darling.

Speaker 43 Here, watch this clip of that.

Speaker 1 You don't want this fake news.

Speaker 156 When you say that, darling, that's fake news.

Speaker 156 Listen, be quiet. Listen, you don't listen.
You never listen. That's why you're second rate.
We're not going to war. We're going to clean up our cities.

Speaker 156 We're going to clean them up so they don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war.
That's common sense.

Speaker 136 That's not war.

Speaker 111 You're posting an image that says war.

Speaker 103 You're going to find out why we're calling it the Department of War.

Speaker 30 And then you get asked a legitimate question, darling, be quiet, darling.

Speaker 7 Who the hell likes this?

Speaker 4 What really upsets me a lot also is knowing that that position, the presidency, is supposed to be a role model to children.

Speaker 33 And I think about it as Brett just brought a baby boy into this world.

Speaker 14 My baby daughter, time fly is already 11 months old, getting ready for her her one-year birthday party.

Speaker 16 Jordy, obviously,

Speaker 32 has a baby boy who's going to be turning two before you know it.

Speaker 73 And I think about all the future generations out there right now.

Speaker 125 And to think about, be quiet, darling.

Speaker 1 We're not going to war, darling.

Speaker 69 You know, as you have him also covering up for a pedosex trafficking ring.

Speaker 51 And then you have our financial news like CNBC has MAGA hosts who are out there fueling the conspiracy, who are aiding and abetting it on financial shows, while we, the people, are the ones who are suffering.

Speaker 23 It's Americans who are getting hit by this.

Speaker 39 We know that prices are going up.

Speaker 128 We know that things are less affordable.

Speaker 39 We know right now,

Speaker 102 wherever you go, that lots of people are living paycheck to paycheck, how bad the job market is right now.

Speaker 36 It's not a golden age at all when we come back i want to talk about that and also you have like trump's cabinet getting into like more physical altercations with each other the whole thing is a freaking mess i don't know about you but i want normalcy i want compassion i want empathy i want democracy a reminder um subscribe to the Midas touch youtube channel please subscribe to our youtube channel you can gift memberships to as many people as you can it's one of the best ways we've grown here.

Speaker 19 Want to give a shout out again to those sponsors for making this show possible.

Speaker 34 The discount codes are in the description below.

Speaker 22 You know, it's pretty difficult if you wanted to kind of rip apart and destroy all aspects of America's economy in over slightly over 200 days, but you know, Donald Trump has managed to do that.

Speaker 142 You take a look, for example, even as

Speaker 143 former President Biden worked hard to try to attract foreign investment, and lots of American presidents have.

Speaker 21 Hyundai, a South Korean company, employs a lot of Americans.

Speaker 142 They've got a plant in Georgia that employs a lot of people in Georgia as well and

Speaker 34 brings a lot of money into Georgia.

Speaker 21 Hyundai also employs people from South Korea

Speaker 123 and it's part of building factories.

Speaker 94 And they go about it the lawful way.

Speaker 23 They get permits and

Speaker 131 the right types of visas and

Speaker 137 balancing a delicate relationship with a country like South Korea or Japan or Europe or Canada.

Speaker 136 I mean, these things are handled diplomatically and carefully.

Speaker 57 But the Trump regime did a military-style raid and then posted the video of a Hyundai factory in Georgia where they shackled and treated like criminals of war the Hyundai workers, the South Koreans who were working in this factory.

Speaker 111 Now, mostly all of them had all of their papers correct.

Speaker 66 There were a few that were on a temporary status, but if you were to do something like this, why wouldn't you just try to work even government to government?

Speaker 60 You do a military raid and then you treat the people of South Korea like this?

Speaker 59 Like it's, it's crazy here.

Speaker 26 I'll just show you a quick video of what it looked like.

Speaker 146 Let's play it.

Speaker 34 Yeah, and for those on audio, I mean, they were lined up like prisoners of war, shackled together, thrown on a bus, handled aggressively.

Speaker 16 And then I showed it on one of the morning videos I did, like the raid, which was, you know, again, the ICE produces it like a movie, and they show the tanks going in.

Speaker 132 And it's like, you're invading a Hyundai factory.

Speaker 137 Like, you think that makes you look strong, right?

Speaker 20 At the same time, you have Russia launching the biggest drone strike since the invasion began, right?

Speaker 78 right?

Speaker 65 Russia's biggest drone strike since the invasion began over this past weekend.

Speaker 108 That's what you got out of the Alaska meeting.

Speaker 139 Russia getting, killing more innocent Ukrainians.

Speaker 103 Trump's out there invading Hyundai factories, posting memes about invading Chicago.

Speaker 14 What were they talking about?

Speaker 29 A blue tent in Lafayette Park that they didn't like?

Speaker 19 And oh, I got this blue tent.

Speaker 128 I got this blue tent out.

Speaker 133 Okay, you got bravo, you got the

Speaker 125 blue tent out?

Speaker 36 I mean, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 60 Behind the scenes, too, we know that these Trump officials are fighting with each other.

Speaker 103 You know that guy, Bill Pultey, who runs the Fair Housing Administration, which is basically weaponized to find Trump's political opponents.

Speaker 130 If they've

Speaker 60 put anything that could be viewed as in error on their mortgage documents, and they only go after Trump's enemies.

Speaker 57 And so, if you claim a primary residence twice, they go, mortgage fraud, felony, we're going after you.

Speaker 25 You need to resign immediately.

Speaker 133 And meanwhile, you have like 20% of the Trump cabinet having done the same thing.

Speaker 130 You have

Speaker 24 Bill Pultey's family doing the same.

Speaker 72 It's just checking the box on those forms that you do.

Speaker 67 But that's how Bill Pulte is using the

Speaker 94 Fair Housing Administration.

Speaker 131 Anyway, you had the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant,

Speaker 32 saying to him, F you, I hear you're talking bad about me.

Speaker 103 I'm going to whoop your effing ass at a MAGA influencer birthday party that took place last week.

Speaker 126 And then Bill Polt is like, what are you going to do?

Speaker 14 Come outside.

Speaker 90 I'm going to whoop your effing ass.

Speaker 30 I'm going to beat your effing ass.

Speaker 60 And this is apparently Treasury Secretary Scott Besant's M.O.

Speaker 152 He did this with Elon Musk as well.

Speaker 128 There was many speculated that he actually physically hit Elon Musk when Elon Musk looked beat up and bruised.

Speaker 23 And Elon Musk responded

Speaker 66 in response to the story about Besant saying that he was going to beat a pulte.

Speaker 131 But this just shows you the utter dysfunction.

Speaker 142 This is not how people behave in civilized society, but this is how you behave in MAGA dystopia world where you would think, let me destroy the rose garden and call it club rose garden for the elites.

Speaker 144 So while they're dining on their caviar and their expensive steak and whatever the hell they're doing that we're paying for, that's coming from the taxpayers, what's going on with our economy?

Speaker 32 Well, we talked about the jobs report from last week.

Speaker 71 You know, it was one of the worst jobs reports in generations, and it's not getting better anytime soon.

Speaker 34 This looks like the beginning of worst job reports, not like the end of something.

Speaker 118 And you had with former President Biden creating massive job growth now we're going in the opposite direction as trump's trade war against the world has been disastrous the uncertainty in the business community that donald trump has created was disastrous but the trump regime can't even get their lies straight right like when it comes to epstein on the one hand you have trump saying it's a massive hoax But then you've got MAGA Mike Johnson saying that Trump was the informant who told on Epstein, Trump's the hero,

Speaker 25 but he doesn't want the documents to be released to show that he's the hero.

Speaker 122 How is he the hero in the hoax?

Speaker 97 That doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have to make sense.

Speaker 81 They just throw anything against the wall.

Speaker 128 They have no shame.

Speaker 46 All they want is power.

Speaker 61 And what they want to do is just discourage you and overwhelm you with a bunch of craps.

Speaker 72 Like, I just can't deal with this anymore.

Speaker 144 Just do whatever you want.

Speaker 58 And that's the relentless nature of their fascism to try to bulldoze you over with their relentless nature of crap because it's hard to process the conflicting lies that are so ridiculous that you just want to say, Come on, nobody can believe this, but you have to fight back against these maniacs, otherwise, they just keep it coming.

Speaker 52 You know how Trump lies about turning on a faucet and releasing the water into southern Los Angeles?

Speaker 47 He doesn't do that, but he releases the faucet of lies and then pushes it on us and most human beings just want to go through their day watch a sports game hang with their family have dinner go for a walk and you're like ah i don't know what to do i don't want to just stop it i'll just i'll just i'll just deal with it and and make but no the moment you let him do it these relentless fascists try to bulldoze over you so that's an example of like they're say trump says it's a hoax maga mike says he's the informant and he's the hero so why wouldn't you want to release the documents if you're covering up something?

Speaker 94 Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Speaker 101 Then when it comes to the economy, you know, the same thing.

Speaker 79 You put out the national economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, and he basically says the job numbers are a hoax.

Speaker 107 Can't believe them.

Speaker 54 They're politicized.

Speaker 47 We don't believe the job numbers.

Speaker 73 Then you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant spinning another story and saying, nope, job numbers are terrible.

Speaker 102 It is the fault of Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 64 So let me show you those two examples.

Speaker 72 This weekend, here was Kevin Hassett saying that the numbers of the Bureau and Labor Statistics, even after they fired the nonpartisan former head, because they didn't like the previous month's numbers, they were saying, we can't trust it right now.

Speaker 145 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 146 Out the forms and sending in the surveys.

Speaker 157 Last month, the president fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggesting there was political bias, not just what you're talking about, which is a very technical issue on how data is collected and crunched.

Speaker 157 Did you fix the political bias?

Speaker 146 Well, there are patterns in the data that look like political bias, but they could be accidental.

Speaker 146 And that's why we need to get a new set of eyes in there to make sure that things are more transparent.

Speaker 143 Got it. So they're saying, oh, it's a hoax.

Speaker 12 It's not real. We can't rely on the data.
That's what he says. But then...

Speaker 60 You have Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says, Trump was right again about the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 109 They were too late.

Speaker 79 And that's why the job numbers were really bad.

Speaker 120 So the numbers are accurate.

Speaker 135 That's why we are going to blame the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, here.

Speaker 145 Play this clip.

Speaker 147 If in fact these numbers are true, it shows that President Trump was right about the Federal Reserve. They are too late.
And because of the bad numbers, they likely would have been cutting in June.

Speaker 147 And if we believe the numbers, and four, I can tell you the one thing this administration is not going to do, and we are not going to let the Democrat media surrogates do is

Speaker 147 during President Biden, President Harris's campaign, they told the American people, it's a vibe session. You don't understand how good you have it.
President Trump was elected for change.

Speaker 4 I remember all the Nobel laureates predicting exactly what is happening now when it comes to inflation and job numbers.

Speaker 34 And I don't think the Nobel laureates who predicted what was going to happen if Trump implemented his plans even recognized how haphazardly he would do it.

Speaker 48 Donald Trump is angry and gets mad at Brazil because of the criminal prosecution against their former insurrectionist president, 50% tariffs.

Speaker 19 Donald Trump gets mad at India because Prime Minister Modi doesn't nominate Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize because Trump did not stop the India and Pakistan war, and Modi was not going to agree to the lie that Donald Trump stopped the India and Pakistan war.

Speaker 5 India gets 50% tariffs.

Speaker 19 The way Donald Trump has treated Canada so viciously, the way Donald Trump has arbitrarily and capriciously attacked other countries.

Speaker 96 All of this was actually very predictable.

Speaker 135 And then, even when we saw the signs of inflation starting to rise in July, what was

Speaker 131 people, what were people like Treasury Secretary Besant and J.D.

Speaker 14 Vance and everyone saying, all these economists got it wrong.

Speaker 119 We're doing great.

Speaker 82 There is no inflation.

Speaker 125 We proved them wrong.

Speaker 137 We were like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 31 Inflation is rising.

Speaker 144 People know when you leave your house that you're paying more now than you were a year ago.

Speaker 31 And the whole promise was on day one, things were going to get better.

Speaker 68 And now,

Speaker 108 what the Trump regime said at the end of last week, just to remind you, I covered this a lot on the Midas Touch various shows that I did, is Trump says the first time that the numbers may start looking good, 2027, he says.

Speaker 27 Yeah, the number, not 2026.

Speaker 32 He goes, it's going to take about two years.

Speaker 64 So why two years, though?

Speaker 42 Well, this is what con artists do.

Speaker 55 This is what Ponzi schemers do.

Speaker 26 They have to stretch out the fraud over and over again.

Speaker 114 That is what, you know, just think about a classic Ponzi scheme, like a Bernie Madoff.

Speaker 7 You go, I want my money back.

Speaker 71 Can you give me, I gave you money.

Speaker 94 You said I've got positive returns.

Speaker 30 Can I have it?

Speaker 10 What do you think they say, like the Bernie Madoffs and the con artists who engage in Ponzi schemes?

Speaker 21 Give me two more weeks. Give me four more weeks.

Speaker 144 Give me two more weeks.

Speaker 29 Give me one more.

Speaker 41 Just give me six more months and I got you.

Speaker 45 That's what they say.

Speaker 97 Why do they say that?

Speaker 118 Because they're trying to utilize that time to rob more from Peter, to pay Paul, to keep the scheme going over.

Speaker 110 That's the two weeks.

Speaker 107 The two weeks is, let me either find new people to blame in those two weeks, or let me take from one side to bring to the other side and to try to deal with things.

Speaker 83 In those two weeks, period, two weeks, three weeks.

Speaker 114 So now he extends the timeline to 2027.

Speaker 94 You have a midterm elections that's going to be happening.

Speaker 66 It seems that people are very energized against the regime right now.

Speaker 108 So what's the next hustle? What's in 2020?

Speaker 109 You blame everything on Jerome Powell.

Speaker 87 And then when this presidency is viewed as the biggest failure in history, what do they do?

Speaker 39 They go in Dr.

Speaker 32 Fauci mode on steroids.

Speaker 89 We had it perfect.

Speaker 115 Remember when I said golden age, things were trending in the right direction?

Speaker 66 And then Democrats launched all of these investigations at Russia, Russia, Russia.

Speaker 114 And I would have had it.

Speaker 110 I was right there.

Speaker 115 And now I got screwed.

Speaker 110 We were about to do it.

Speaker 25 That's what Ponzi schemers do.

Speaker 53 Democrats better be effective messengers because they didn't do a great job last time on the messaging to show the American people that they were the firefighters.

Speaker 98 And Trump and MAGA was the arsonist who created the problems.

Speaker 30 You have to message now and have both the Governor Gavin Newsom and Pritzker in your face approach.

Speaker 108 And I think Newsom has really mastered that.

Speaker 41 And then you also have to be talking to people in those town hall settings the way we see Bernie Sanders doing in his fight the oligarchy tour.

Speaker 24 You have to kind of marry those two things as a messenger together in order to fight back against the regime and the oligarchy that turned on that faucet of constant lies over and over again.

Speaker 134 Now, I want to mention as well those court updates.

Speaker 142 First, a good court update, then a bad court update.

Speaker 100 The good court update, the Court of Appeals has ruled against Donald Trump in the Eugene Carroll additional case.

Speaker 109 Remember, they ruled against him in the first case.

Speaker 66 This was the defamation case.

Speaker 30 He defamed his sexual assault victim by saying that basically she was engaging in a hoax.

Speaker 123 And a jury found him liable.

Speaker 86 Alina Hoppe was the lawyer in that case.

Speaker 17 Trump was hit with an $83.3 million verdict.

Speaker 45 That was upheld on appeal.

Speaker 21 Remember, Trump had to post the bond for that.

Speaker 45 So that now, I guess Trump can try to appeal that to the Supreme Court, see what they do there.

Speaker 60 That's kind of personal capacity stuff.

Speaker 45 So not sure they're going to get involved, but nothing would surprise me with this right-wing fascist Supreme Court right now.

Speaker 95 As you know, the Supreme Court is run six to three, six fascists, three liberals who support democracy.

Speaker 108 It's made up of nine people.

Speaker 47 You need to know the composition.

Speaker 114 So, you know, it's usually the three liberals who are in the dissent saying, what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 72 And it's usually the six fascists who are saying, Donald, do whatever you want.

Speaker 86 The way the Supreme Court's been giving Donald Trump everything they want is they actually don't address the merits of cases.

Speaker 47 What they do is they use something called a shadow docket, meaning that they don't hold oral arguments.

Speaker 64 They don't have really any form of briefing that you regular briefing, which would be called a granting of certiari, where then you have full briefing on the issues, people submit what are called amicus briefs, and then the court, you know, rules in a very kind of

Speaker 62 supposed to be a thoughtful way.

Speaker 30 That's not what's happening now.

Speaker 108 What's happening is on its emergency docket or shadow docket, the Supreme Court makes a ruling and doesn't even say why.

Speaker 114 And they're not even saying that we think Trump is right or wrong or we think the Constitution says this or that.

Speaker 99 That's not what the Supreme Court's doing.

Speaker 22 Instead, they issue these orders that are basically one paragraph long that don't even really mention, they don't mention at all the merits of the case.

Speaker 38 But all they do is say, the issues having come before the Supreme Court, we hereby stay, which means pause, the district court's order until such time as the case eventually works its way up to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 108 Now, usually what the Supreme Court would do is let the case work its way up to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 46 And the District Court and the Court of Appeals orders stand.

Speaker 33 The Supreme Court is not a trial court.

Speaker 79 They're not getting all of the facts in the first instance.

Speaker 139 They're not a trier of fact.

Speaker 45 They're not evaluating the merits.

Speaker 108 The district court does, but the Supreme Court can eventually hear once there's a full factual record.

Speaker 52 But the district court is the lower court that observes this.

Speaker 99 So in normal course, the district court holds a trial.

Speaker 131 Then the trial gets appealed to the court of appeals. And then the court of appeals gets appealed to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 140 And that can take a few years.

Speaker 62 But the Supreme Court gets a full record.

Speaker 68 Not anymore.

Speaker 91 What the Supreme Court does is use its shadow docket and says, we're just going to pause what the district court does.

Speaker 58 And what the district court's doing in all of these cases is pausing or staying or stopping what the Trump regime is doing, that the district court deems is unlawful.

Speaker 103 So by the Supreme Court pausing the district court, that means they're allowing the Trump conduct to continue until such time as the case works its way back up to the Supreme Court, which for the Supreme Court, they know that's going to be after the Trump regime is over.

Speaker 133 So they want to try to game this, to coast by after giving Trump absolute immunity, to let him do what he wants, but then four years from now, make rulings that I think will then clamp down.

Speaker 111 on the executive branch power if and when you have a democratic president you see that's the hustle of what they're doing.

Speaker 86 That's why they don't rule on the merits.

Speaker 47 They pause the district court. They know it'll take about four years to get back up, and then they're going to make these rulings.

Speaker 62 You see, we were never for this dictator stuff.

Speaker 76 Meanwhile, they let it happen for four years.

Speaker 74 I just want to cue you into the.

Speaker 111 I'm a law professor when I'm not doing this, and this stuff frustrates the hell out of me.

Speaker 28 So I want to let you know deeper what the hustle actually is here that they're doing to help you understand.

Speaker 99 Now, in this specific case that the Supreme Court ruled on its shadow docket, they stayed or stopped a district court's order that blocked the Trump regime from engaging in racial profiling on the basis of four factors.

Speaker 97 Apparent race or ethnicity, whether they spoke Spanish or English.

Speaker 125 the type of location at which they were found, a car wash or a bus stop or something like that,

Speaker 108 the type of job they worked.

Speaker 120 In other words, if you are a Latino working at a car shop, you will be presumed to be a migrant without paperwork and you will be sent to a detention center.

Speaker 118 And then if you present your paperwork, you're okay.

Speaker 107 But they can profile you now on that basis.

Speaker 108 If you work at a restaurant, where migrants may work, you can get profiled and the Supreme Court saying, we're okay with that that right now.

Speaker 66 We don't think that's an unreasonable search and seizure.

Speaker 46 Now, Justice Kavanaugh, he actually wrote a concurring opinion to this, which is rare because usually you just get one paragraph saying basically we hereby stay with the district courts do.

Speaker 66 And Justice Kavanaugh was like, No, no, no,

Speaker 102 of course I support racial profiling.

Speaker 7 He doesn't use that exact language, but yeah, if you look, if your skin is brown and you're working in restaurants, duh, that's what Kavanaugh says, which is probably what the actual all six justices say.

Speaker 108 They just wouldn't sign their name to what Kavanaugh said.

Speaker 44 But then the three liberal justices, they're out there and they're like,

Speaker 60 we have something called the Fourth Amendment, which protects every individual's constitutional right to be free from arbitrary interference by law officers.

Speaker 108 After today, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little, because this is unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees, I dissent.

Speaker 32 That's right there from the

Speaker 34 three liberal justices.

Speaker 52 So I don't mean to leave you with that bad news, but it shows why we need to fight back more against this regime, against this fascist regime.
