Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We have a lot to discuss on today's episode of the Midas Touch podcast. We should talk about the horrific murder of Alex Preti at the hands of Donald Trump's Border Patrol Gestapo, then the effort by the Trump regime to defame Alex Preti, an ICU nurse at the VA in Minneapolis, someone who by all accounts was incredibly selfless, courageous, heroic.
really one of the best human beings out there killed by the worst human beings out there and then the trump regime engaged in a concerted campaign to defame preti after he was deceased calling him a domestic terrorist saying he was out to massacre ice and border patrol agents 100 false and this is 100 the playbook that they use over and over again This is what they did to Renee Nicole Goode.
Chapter 2: What horrific event involving Donald Trump's Border Patrol is discussed?
After all of those deaths at the ICE detention centers, they lie about the cause of death and say people died by suicide. And you find out it's strangulation at the hands of ICE Gestapo. I want to break down what took place, the aftermath, the response.
And it does seem like finally we've reached a fever pitch in this country where we're now even hearing from businesses who have refused to speak out. The NBA Players Association spoke out. and other people who have been on the sidelines. We're hearing more and more voices step forward. It's about time that we need to hear from more people. Silence is complicity.
I want to talk about Trump's health continuing to deteriorate. New York Magazine had an incredible expose that I want to cover. It was one of the most
embarrassing and humiliating situations described in the oval office it's almost hard to comprehend what the hell is happening there as this uh article by ben terrace you know describes donald trump uh going to these doctors saying i'm the healthiest person right no no one's healthier than me right yes you're you're incredibly healthy and then donald trump said you know and uh something happened to my dad it was
something uh up up here and then caroline levitt his chief propaganda said alzheimer's yeah yeah he had that thing going on up there anyway we'll talk about that donald trump continuing to embarrass the united states on the world stage he attacked canada i thought that was going to be the big story heading into the weekend where he said 100 tariffs on canada if they do a trade deal with china
after Prime Minister Carney took a trip to Beijing and announced a $1 trillion strategic pact with Xi Jinping. And that story seemed to fade in light of all of the other chaos and terrorism committed by this despicable regime. And the regime continues to cover up the Epstein files, a child sex trafficking ring,
is continuing to be covered up by the DOJ, the same DOJ, I might add, that has been sending letters to Governor Walz of Minnesota saying that if you agree just to hand over all the private election information of the citizens of Minnesota, then maybe we'll leave if you just hand over and let us run the elections for the midterms, a mafia extortion racket with state-sponsored terrorism
as part of the force and threats behind it. So we've got a lot to discuss. Today's a day where I teach over at USC Law, which is why you see this background right here. And I'm not sure if anybody caught it. We'll talk about it in this episode. I had the opportunity to interview this weekend Professor Justin Wolfers, another professor.
And it was like meeting my long-lost Australian best friend that I never knew I had. And Professor Wolfers and I were able to do this really long geeking out on the economy and global markets. And lots of people seemed to like it. And then Professor Wolfers and I were talking all weekend about it. about doing more videos together and how we can get more information out.

Chapter 3: How did the Trump administration respond to the killing of Alex Preti?
And I can't believe that it's taken just these horrors for certain people to wake up. But finally, finally, finally, we are seeing certain people finally speak out and speak up about these issues and about the regime.
Because frankly, there have been far too many people who are in positions of power, celebrities, athletes, you name it, who have been afraid to speak out against this regime because they know what will happen is there will be some sort of Twitter backlash to them saying something against the regime. They'll get a lot of mean tweets. They'll get harassed.
Their lives will probably be threatened by these people because that's their MO. That's what these people do.
so they say i'm just going to go about my life i'll make my movies i'll make my music i'll play my sports i'm not going to say anything i'm not going to speak up because i i don't want any of that smoke but finally finally finally finally and i hope it stays we see at least some people like that speaking up speaking out calling out the horrific murders of these individuals and there are multiple individuals and it's just so incredibly
Sad, tragic, and the fallout continues now from all of this. And I think most Americans, I would say 80% plus, this is breaking through too, are furious, are furious at this regime, are angered, and rightfully so. We're going to get into this and more. Jordy, what's the latest?
What's up, brothers? What's up, Midas Mighty? And I just want to build on to that last point, seeing as we are finally seeing folks speak out. Look, I think I've been incredibly gracious to a fault, and I'll admit that, like to a fault of giving people either brainwashed or willful participants in propping up MAGA in the past an off ramp.
But over the weekend, I mean, I hit my personal tipping point with everything that's happened with Keith Porter to Renee Good to Alex Pretty. If you still if you still Can't disavow this regime? If you're still sporting that red MAGA hat and saying that's Donald being Donald, making excuse after excuse for the atrocities that are being committed right here on U.S. soil, I can't help you.
Nor, quite frankly, do I want to help you anymore because you don't want to be helped. You're a hateful, evil person that doesn't care for your fellow American.

Chapter 4: What alarming reports are there about Donald Trump's health?
That's the only conclusion I can draw. And here we are. This audience cares. We care here deeply in our bones about this country and about its citizens and about what real leadership looks like. And quite frankly, what's coming out of the White House right now is an absence of leadership. And that's just putting it as mildly as I can, Ben.
Yeah, I mean, immediately after the murder of Alex Preti, the Trump regime in a coordinated campaign said that Preti was a domestic terrorist, that because he had a legal permit to conceal, carry a handgun, that he was there to massacre the border patrol and ICE Gestapo who were there, that he had an intention to massacre is what they said.
And when you watch the video about what actually happened, again, there's video of this, there was no dispute about what happened. The only investigation that's frankly needed is who were the border patrol terrorists who shot and murdered Alex Preti. And who else have these people been shooting, murdering, terrorizing? That's what the investigation should be about.
Who are these masked terrorists? And it's not doxing them to put their name out there. We shouldn't have secret police in this country. Their name should be out there because they deserve to be prosecuted. That's the way our system is supposed to work.
And we saw Alex Preti in the final moments of his life going to lend a hand to help a female protester who was being brutalized by Border Patrol Gestapo. They were pepper spraying her. Alex Preti is someone who was described by his colleagues in the VA ICU and in various other programs that he was a part of as someone who would always stand up for the underdog.
if people would harass or say negative things about female doctors or others in the profession he would always stand up that's how he was known for and so he instinctively went to lend a hand to this female being brutalized he had a camera in his hand he didn't have a gun in his hand he then was pepper sprayed by the border patrol gestapo they brutalized him
Six to eight people threw him to the ground. They basically pistol-whipped him. And then there's a photo that looks just like the photo of the Nazi execution that has been one of the horrifying images of Hitler's reign, of the Border Patrol Gestapo execution-style murdering Preti. And then they shot him over and over and over again.
And when his body was lying limp, they shot him over and over and over again. You saw in the video also that one of the Border Patrol Gestapo took the handgun that was concealed carry, that was being concealed carried by Preti. Preti never took it out. He was allowed to have it. Frankly, in Minnesota, it didn't even have to be concealed.
It could have been open carried, but he had it concealed carried. He never took it out ever. It was removed by one of the border patrol Gestapo before they executed him. And so you had all of these statements coming out from Trump, Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller said directly, this is a domestic terrorist who was there to massacre people.

Chapter 5: What did Trump say about tariffs on Canada?
You had Greg Bovino, a terrorist who leads the border patrol terrorists say he was there to massacre people. And then you had others in the regime and it was Noem, Bovino, others, Trump, saying, this is Stephen Miller's direct quote, a domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement, and this is your response?
You and the state's entire Democrat leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection for the singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country. Again, Miller using the language of Nazis right there. Preti was not a domestic terrorist. He was not there to massacre people.
But then you had all the Trump regime officials say, if you show up to a protest and you have a legal permit to conceal carry, then you can be killed and the government can tread on you and kill you and shoot you. So over the course of the weekend, although we knew this before, the Trump regime and their MAGA Republican sycophants admit they don't care about the First Amendment.
We knew that before. They don't care about the Second Amendment. I've never heard any politician from any party hate the Second Amendment as much as Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. They've said things I've never heard Democratic politicians who they've always attacked say.
And so I guess for the MAGA Republicans, OK, the Second Amendment protects the school shooters who bring the semiautomatics to elementary schools. That should be protected. But when you have a lawful permit and you conceal carry and it's actually there for the purpose the Second Amendment was intended intended for. Then the Second Amendment should be impeded and you should be murdered for it.
And again, if you're like, well, Ben, don't be all hyperbolic. Let me just remind you. This is what Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said over the weekend. Let's play his clip first. Let's play this one.
I am sorry that this gentleman is dead, but he did bring a nine millimeter semi-automatic weapon with two cartridges to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. I think that there are a lot of paid agitators who are ginning things up and the governor has not done a good job of tamping this down.
I mean, as you know, he was an ICU nurse, worked for the Veterans Administration, and there's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever. In fact, it appears that he was disarmed before he was- But he brought a gun.
He brought a gun. Have you ever gone to a protest, Jonathan? I mean, we do have a second amendment in this country that- Jonathan, have you ever gone to a protest? I mean- Have you gone to a protest? I mean, I've, no, actually, as a reporter covering it. Okay, I've been to a protest. Guess what? I didn't bring a gun. I brought a billboard. Okay.

Chapter 6: What is the latest on the Epstein Files cover-up?
just fall in line, whether you're Kristi Noem, or Scott Besant, or Todd Blanch, or whoever it is, following the script. It's so freaking appalling, and it goes against everything this country stands for. It is evil. There is nothing, there should be nothing political about this.
You should be able to look at this, if you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you're an Independent, if you don't even care about politics, and say, this is wrong, this is un-American. And if you are a Republican or if you are a consider yourself a MAGA person, then just think about this situation.
Think if you'd be OK, if because these protesters that you see in these images that I'm pulling back up, like the protesters in the Michigan state capitol here with their weapons, do you think that would have made it OK if some sort of officer or federal agent or whatever you want to call them came in and then gunned these people down and used that as their justification.
Because you've exerted a whole lot of energy over these years claiming that you actually support the Second Amendment, and the second there's a situation where the Second Amendment actually comes into play, you abandon all your principles. Because none of these people believe anything. They are vessels for whatever Donald Trump wants to put through to them. They don't stand for anything.
They are shells of human beings. It's disgraceful.
That's why I don't even call them humans. That's why I refer to them as creatures. It's because they're soulless creatures who are just parroting Trump regime talking points. Look, the Rene Good situation, the Rene Good murder, the murder of Preti, those are on video, clear as day, right? Especially in the case of Preti. When you play that video, he's not holding the gun.
He wasn't bringing the gun there to shoot up law enforcement, as Kristi Noem likes to suggest now, and defame Preti in his death. It's unbelievable what they do to these people when they're gone, how they lie on them, how they defame them, how they treat them. It's so utterly disgusting and just un-American. It's un-American.
And so when you see Besson up there and you see Noam talking, I just look at them like, You actually hate this country. You hate this country. You love the position of power that you're in. I don't know, maybe you're monetizing off of it in some way, shape or form, probably are. But you actually don't like this country.
You could wrap yourself in the American flag all you want and say the Pledge of Allegiance, do whatever. But when you can't look at that video and objectively say, that was murder and execution what we just witnessed, then I can't have a conversation with you.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Greg Bovino's demotion?
But no, this was an interesting look into the mind, I would say, of Donald Trump. And this writer here, his name is, what's his name? Ben Teres.
Ben Terrace so he wrote this piece and he spoke with Trump and he spoke with some of Trump's doctors and it was just some of the most deranged you know stuff you've you've ever seen but certain things I think when Donald Trump says things out loud especially unprompted I think the alarm bell should go off in your head and you should be like that's interesting that's interesting and one thing is something that we've been reporting here incessantly on the Midas Touch podcast on the Midas Touch Network
And if you've been following this reporting, Ben has been doing deep dives into Donald Trump's family history and has been speaking about the way in which Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and how Donald Trump himself seems to be going down a very similar trajectory And Donald Trump started speaking about this himself during this interview.
It was one of the things that came out of this interview. And so I'll read this piece quickly and then I'll toss it back to the guys.
Chapter 8: How is the public reacting to the Trump regime's actions?
But here's an example from this piece right here. This is what Donald Trump said to this writer, Ben Terrace. My father had one problem, Trump said. He started getting, what do they call it? He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him. Alzheimer's, Levitt said. Like an Alzheimer's thing, Trump said. Well, I don't have it.
Now, I'm just going to say it's probably not a great sign and doesn't speak to your mental faculties when you can't remember the name.
of the diagnosis that you yourself are being accused of having and that your father had when it has to do with memory loss and and and you know mental decline cognitive decline and all the like but that was really just the beginning um you know of the story as well but i found that line in particular uh guys you know very very revealing and especially the way that trump kind of volunteered you know felt the need to say that himself to this person who was prying about his health
If we wrote that here, like if we wrote that into a Ben video, you guys would think we made it up. Or a little bit too on the nose might as touch, a little bit too on the note. Oh, my God. He pointed to his head. He forgot the word. Caroline Leavitt has to interject, say Alzheimer's, and he just – it is – It's beyond me.
It is beyond me that more people aren't speaking up about Donald Trump's mental fitness.
Well, let's talk about how this piece opens by Ben Terrace. This is how he describes it. I don't want to give you my characterization. Let me just read it. This is from Ben Terrace about showing up at the Oval Office
to ask donald donald trump questions about his health when i arrived at the oval office in december to talk to donald trump about his health the president was standing next to a couple of men clutching pieces of paper labeled talking points these are two doctors trump told me before i could ask a question and by the way i don't know them they're not my best friends they're respected doctors that practice out of walter reed and they happen to be taking care of me for anything but i don't need any taking care of because i'm in perfect health
I do purposefully every year or less a physical because I think the American people should know that the president is healthy. So you don't get a guy like the last one who was the worst thing that ever happened to older people. Because I know people in their 90s that are 100%. Gary Player is 90 years old. He shot 70 with me the other day.
Trump gestured at everyone present, me, the doctors and press secretary, Caroline Leavitt.
