Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Prices are rising. A recession is looming. And what was Donald Trump doing? Vacationing again in Mar-a-Lago, awarding himself more trophies, posting about it on social media while the American people are suffering. Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C.
on Monday where he held an unhinged press conference just an hour or so ago in the Oval Office with Kid Rock dressed in a bright red jumpsuit and fedora. further humiliating the White House and the United States of America. Now, in the past 24 hours, Donald Trump said he could not care less about rising prices. He said he will take over Greenland 100%.
And he does not rule out using military force against Greenland and Denmark, if necessary, to take it because he says it's his. He said he does not even know what signal is or what signal chats are or what the whole text thread on signal thing is all about. And he said he wants to have a third term and there are ways that he can do it. Again, threatening dictatorship.
This says he's crashing our markets, crashing our economy. All of this comes as well as we approach some very important elections on Tuesday, a big special elections in Florida, a major Supreme Court race in Wisconsin with an empty seat.
Major Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, major special elections in Florida. You know, sometimes Ben's internet cuts out here on the Midas Touch Network. It happens. but it happens when you're live. It happens, but that's okay. The point is we have a whole lot to speak about on this episode of the Midas Touch Podcast. It is great to see everybody here today. Kid Rock in the Oval Office.
Jordan, did you see that with the outfit? I mean, in the words of everybody, I guess, from a few weeks ago, he... You even got a suit, Kid Rock? You got a suit when you're in there in the Oval Office? I guess not. It looks like we got Ben back. Ben, welcome back to the show. I'll let you continue your intro.
A federal judge has barred the Trump regime from ending temporary protected status for 350,000 Venezuelan nationals. Another federal judge, Judge Boasberg, set a Thursday hearing to determine if the Trump regime violated his order, preventing the regime from kidnapping migrants and sending them to El Salvador without due process.
And I was mentioning before that that this all comes at the time where there are these important elections, critical elections on Tuesday.
the big special elections in florida the supreme court race in wisconsin i was describing how naturally elon musk went to wisconsin to buy those votes so we've got a lot to discuss brothers and midas mighty today a lot to discuss but ben jordy it's great to be here it's great to be here might as mighty great to always be here speaking to the listeners of the midas touch podcast the viewers of the midas touch podcast and today we're even trying something a little different too um we are actually also at the same time live on tick tock i'm live on tick tock

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Trump's tariffs on the economy?
not baffling because it's just like it goes with everything that trump would always do and musk always does is that despite ruining all these people's lives despite all the chaos that they have caused despite throwing our entire country into chaos what have we seen that federal spending is actually more now than it ever was far more than it was under biden increasing at greater rates than it was under biden
So while you see them trying to brag about all these various cuts, first off, I want everybody to know that all these cuts are basically bullshit. When you look at the Doge website and they have all these big numbers, we saved $250 billion here and there. When you actually put them under a tiny bit of a microscope, they're actually all fake. It's a fraud. It's a scheme. It's a scam. It's a fraud.
That's what they're doing right now. And then they try to dangle out things to the American people to try to get them to support it. Have you heard? We might allow, we might send out Doge checks. Don't you want a Doge check? Yeah, with all the money we're saving from Doge, from taking away your grandmother's social security, you might get a few thousand bucks in the mail.
So you stick a, and we even saw people at this Elon Musk event that happened yesterday. We saw people, there was literally somebody who asked a question to Elon Musk. So when are we getting those Doge checks? And he was like, actually, the Doge checks, they got to go to Congress and they got,
You know, there's a process and I don't know, you know, you're going to have to ask Congress about that one because they dangle these things out to scam people. And it's just so incredibly atrocious. It's so manipulative.
And we've been saying this on like all of our past episodes, but stop falling for the con people, you know, like as a supporter, if you're a supporter of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, at a certain point, you got to go, these people are lying to me. These people think I'm stupid.
And you could either accept the fact that that's what they think of you, or you could actually do your own research, as I'm sure many of you say, and actually look up the facts. Spending is coming in 7.4% higher this year than last year. Higher this year than last year. That's what it's on pace for. And it was not on pace for that under President Biden. I want that to be clear as well.
So while you hear about all these cuts and stuff, it's why they also highlight like this, like... these very tiny things like we canceled everybody's Adobe Photoshop subscriptions. I'm like, okay, what are we doing here, people? Like now, okay, now the people who need to make graphics can't make graphics. Now you canceled Microsoft Word for people so they can't like open documents.
Like that's not making the government more efficient. It's making government less efficient. And you're using that as cover to literally steal from people.

Chapter 3: How is Elon Musk influencing the Wisconsin elections?
Y'all remember when some in the media were saying, we think this may be a 10% boycott, which would cause still like massive amounts of – I said –
me tell you about the maple mites let me tell you what's really going on in canada right now i said i think the tourism boycott will be like 85 and that's more in the range of where it's at so you're seeing like tourism you know even at a micro level you're seeing like in certain locations like in vegas
right vegas uh significantly down because canadians aren't traveling there then you're seeing this in cities across the country then in the aggregate you're seeing flights being cancelled the airline industry right now in the united states is absolutely plummeting by the way the european markets are for the first time in a long time doing better by the way than the united states as they're all forming alliances with each other in other countries
isolating the United States. So that's what's actually happening on the ground here. I mean, take a look at this. While the US spirals into a Trump-induced chaos, European equity markets are now outperforming US markets by a record margin, not just outperforming.
Not even close.
by a record margin like ben do you remember all the headlines that we would wake up to during the biden administration where it would be like u.s leads the world in gdp growth you know post covert recovery u.s leads the world in employment u.s leads the world in this leads the world that u.s beating china for the first time in 50 years these were the stories we would wake up to every day under the biden administration then fox would tell us why it was all horrible
Now the stories we wake up to are this. We wake up to that the European markets are way ahead of us. We're waking up to that there are these alliances forming, that China is now the world leader, and they are actually being quite smart because they're going out to people who have previously been like not their friends and are going, hey, let's get together. We got to get against this guy.
They're even going to Europe and they're going, we could figure out some trade stuff between us. We don't need the United States anymore. You have the Canadians boycotting the U.S. and shout out to the Canadians. We are in full solidarity with all you and everybody who Donald Trump keeps coming after. I mean, it's a disgrace to us.
And then he has the nerve to, in these conversations with the press, you see Donald Trump often go, we are now more respected than we've ever been. We're the most respected nation now. It's completely different. And it's actually, no, we're actually the opposite, okay? We're a freaking clown show. Everybody thinks that we are, it's just completely embarrassing. Everybody thinks we look like fools.
