How did Trump's Iran strike and press conference impact U.S. credibility?
More intelligence coming out of the United States government as well as Europe suggests that the strikes on Iran by Donald Trump were not successful. Now the Trump regime is in full-fledged mode. Secretary of Defense and former weekend Fox host Pete Hegsith held a press conference earlier in the day where he just started berating reporters, including a Fox reporter, as one of the most shameful moments in the History of the Defense Department. Moments ago, Donald Trump announced another deal that he claims he made with China. To be very clear, there isn't one. He's making another fake deal up with China. He said, I just entered one yesterday, and now the regime's trying to cover it up and say, No, no, it was actually two days ago.
What the hell are they talking about? They just lie about every single thing. And it's Really just having a devastating effect on our country. When you look at Donald Trump's disastrous trip to NATO, you see things like Canada entering into a defense pact with the European Union, uh basically saying we're turning to Europe now and not the United States. The U.S. gets more isolated every single day. Um, I want to talk about the big victory in New York City. By Zoran Mamdani and the implications of that win. I want to talk about the latest developments with the disastrous budget bill, where a parliamentarian earlier in the day found that a number of the provisions would actually require at least 60 senators to vote for it for there to be cloture, and it cannot be passed by simple majority based on what's called a violent.
Violation of the bird rule. Uh, these specifically relates to some of the attacks the MAGA Republicans had against Medicaid. And now lots of MAGA Republicans are saying the parliamentarian is just too woke and needs to be fired. We'll talk about that and more here on the Midas Touch podcast. I'm Ben Micellas, joined by Brett and Jordy. You know, Brett waking up today and seeing that Pete Heggsith press conference. as he berated the reporters who were just asking questions. Hey, our intelligence and the European intelligence and other intelligence communities suggest that Iran was able to move the uranium before the U.S. strikes because Donald Trump telegraphed the attack, uh, that Iran's going to be able to rebuild a nuclear program pretty soon.
That well now you're doing a ceasefire with Iran when you said that the objective Was total surrender. And now at the same time, the Trump regime is praising Iran doing oil deals with China. Is that what Donald Trump's talking about when he talks about the China deal? A deal between Iran and China for China to get the blessing to purchase cheap oil from Iran. And all of that benefits, by the way, Vladimir Putin in Russia, who gets those Shahi drones from Iran. So what the hell were we even doing other than making Iran stronger? The the whole the whole thing makes absolutely no offense, no sense. And then to watch Pete Hegs just yell at the reporters and MAGA try to portray that as strength when it looked like the ultimate weakness.
It was another shameful day for the United States of America under the Trump regime.
Absolutely shameful. Good to be here, brothers. Good to be here, Ben. Good to be here, Jordy. Good to be here, Midas Mighty. It's always great to be here on the Midas Touch podcast. Yeah, you know, I woke up and you know, the first thing I always do, which is probably the biggest mistake imaginable when you wake up in the morning, is I I check my phone. I always regret it. It's never a good decision. Don't do that. Go for a walk, maybe first, do something else. But I always check my phone. And this morning I had the privilege of waking up and turning on my phone to see pick Pete Heggseth having it throwing it to Tantrum with Donald Trump in this unhinged press briefing. Press briefing, I think, is putting this whole thing nicely.
It was like a cry fest. It was like the biggest, weakest uh appearance of American strength that I have ever seen in my entire life. And you know, it reminded me, Ben, you know, there's something that you say a lot.
