Chapter 2: How is the World Cup boycott related to Donald Trump's actions?
They are not going well, but Donald Trump continues to say they're going amazing. They are not. We will tell you what the Europeans, what Gulf nations are saying. Hint, hint. They don't see a deal happening for the next six months. Congress is back in session, so finally we're getting some congressional hearings.
Chapter 3: What did Pope Leo XIV say in response to Trump's threats?
We have our team there on Capitol Hill bringing you news directly from the Capitol Hill steps and inside the Capitol building. Shout out to Scott McFarlane and the Holt. team there and a federal judge in Washington, D.C. Yet again, said Donald Trump, when I said stop building that damn ballroom, I meant stop building that damn ballroom.
We're going to talk about this and more on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. I'm Ben Myselish, joined by my brothers, Brett and Jordy brothers. It's great to see you. We've got so much to discuss, shorter intro than usual, so we could just get right into the meat of things. I love it, so I'll just say it's good to be here, everybody. Good to be here, brothers.
Good to be here, Midas Mighty, on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. Jordy, what do you got going on today? Let's just pass it over to Jay. What's up, brothers? What's up, Midas Mighty?
Chapter 4: What is the current status of the ceasefire negotiations with Iran?
Pumped to get into today's show. Just really excited to dive in. I mean, the Saudis no longer funding the Live Golf League like that. They know how to really get to Trump right there. That is...
that's a good that's good it's probably why you shouldn't have all these corrupt entanglements entanglements as president you know it's probably why we have these laws in place that apparently just are completely ignored now but uh okay yeah benji where are we starting off today big bro
John Prevost, a retired Catholic school principal who loves to play Wordle with his brother, Pope Leo XIV, received death threats likely coming from MAGA individuals after Donald Trump and the entire MAGA leadership structure is now spending every day attacking Pope Leo XIV, amplifying posts of Donald Trump as AI Jesus.
Donald Trump doubled down on it by posting more AI memes of Jesus hugging him, while Donald Trump continues to attack
pope leo the 14th to the italian press and here at home this is the way stochastic terrorism works donald trump's maga minions and sycophants got the message and they threatened john prevost over here he's again a teacher over in uh chicago and uh pope leo the 14th today was speaking in cameroon he gave a powerful speech he ain't backing down despite trump and maga making it their cause right now to attack the catholic church over and over
Again, let's take a look at what Pope Leo XIV said in Cameroon about blessed are the peacemakers, and very clear who this message was directed at. Let's play the clip.
Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. Yes, my dear sisters and brothers, you who hunger and thirst for justice, who are poor, merciful, meek, and pure of heart, you who have wept, you are the light of the world.
Just want to be very clear as well, whether you are a religious person or not religious or don't follow any religion at all, we have people here at the Midas Touch Network who are all different types of religions, people who are atheists, people who have no religion. But the key thing, being a good person, being empathetic, being loving, helping people, uplifting, not bullying, right?
These are core messages.

Chapter 5: What updates are there from the recent congressional hearings?
And it is a powerful thing when someone like Pope Leo XIV uses his position to go out and speak to these issues. So that's why one of the reasons we're showing it. And it is driving Donald Trump crazy. And in the past,
whether it was Hitler, whether it was the kings in the UK and in France, if you go back to the Avignon Papacy, which is what Donald Trump has threatened to bring back through the Department of Defense when back in January he brought in Pope Leo XIV's top ambassador to D.C. They threatened the
Avion papacy, we're gonna bring that back right there, which is a death threat because the French killed the Pope back then after kidnapping him. This is kind of something you see with authoritarians throughout history, this kind of attack on the Pope or other leaders who intimidate them. So that's why one of the reasons we're bringing this up right now.
And the Pope is really in Donald Trump's head and MAGA just continues to attack. And Pope Leo XIV in Cameroon also said the world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. It seems pretty clear who he's talking about here. Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and others. Here, play this clip.
The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. It is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters. They are the descendants of Abraham, as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Let us look into each other's eyes.

Chapter 6: How is the war in Iran affecting international relations?
We are this immense people. Peace is not something we must invent. It is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as our brother and as our sister.
Finally, Pope Leo XIV talks about how the masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy. Play the clip.
The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy. Yet often... A lifetime is often not enough to rebuild.
Chapter 7: What is the significance of the federal judge halting Trump's ballroom construction?
They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing, on devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education, and restoration are nowhere to be found.
So, the types of people he's calling out there, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism. You have Pete Hegseth. Again, Pete Hegseth this morning held a press conference where the entire press conference seemed to be devoted to invoking the name of God and religion
to justify war crimes and genocide and to say, and I went into the church and I heard a great sermon and that's what tells me that we need to go to war. Let's play the first clip of Hegseth right here from this morning. Let's play it. This past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family and our minister preached from the book of Mark, the third chapter.
And in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. the Pharisees came to watch. And as the scripture reads, they came to see whether he, Jesus, would heal him or he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might accuse him.
You see, the Pharisees, the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time, they were there to witness, to write everything down, to report. but their hearts were hardened. Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn't matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda. So Pete Hegseth comparing the press to the Pharisees, Donald Trump is Jesus.
And he's saying that Donald Trump worked miracles in Iran by blowing up elementary schools and killing little girls. And the fact that the press would dare report on war crimes and genocide about what's happening place. is the same thing that Jesus confronted when Jesus, in the telling of the scripture, as he says, was working miracles. That's what the Trump regime was doing this morning.
It's such a perversion of religion, and it's really just disgusting to even see this being invoked at all from the Pentagon and being used to justify this war that has killed so many innocent people. And so I completely understand why the Pope is speaking out against this sort of rhetoric.
But I do find it interesting that the Pope doesn't often even mention Donald Trump by name, really, unless he's asked directly about it, like he was by the press the other day. but the Pope says things against tyrants and against warmongers, and then the Trump administration and people like Pete Hegseth get all offended.
But I think what this really shows, first off, I don't understand, at least often I can understand the strategy behind Donald Trump's moves, like why he's attacking a specific group, why he's trying to pit these groups apart from each other, but attacking the Pope and attacking Catholics, attacking the Catholics, It's just like, do you agree?

Chapter 8: What impact does Trump's rhetoric have on global perceptions of the U.S.?
He's asked about this and he's like, Well, I'm not going to comment on any religious leaders. But, you know, I will say that the the the pope should not be waiting in on issues of of religion. Listen, if you're going to use religion I mean, of politics.
If you're going to use religion to justify your politics, you can't be upset when someone is using politics or using religion to speak out against your politics. And so we're seeing just these frauds right now expose themselves. And we knew who they were, don't get us wrong. But you even saw a guy like Franklin Graham, right? Trump supporter, evangelical.
he writes this super embarrassing note about Donald Trump and about this whole Jesus fiasco where Donald Trump posted that AI image of depicting himself as Jesus and then said, I thought I was a doctor. I thought I was a doctor healing people. I thought, or the Red Cross.
and franklin graham who positions himself as this legitimate evangelical type he writes this whole letter to uh the press uh where he addresses it to donald trump but it's for the press and he says i've been out of the country and just returned this afternoon this is a statement i just released to the media addressing some of the issues you've been facing this week first of all issues you've been facing
He's not facing issues. Donald Trump did this to himself. Then he writes, I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ. That would certainly be inappropriate. I'm thankful the president has made it very clear that this is not at all what he thought the AI generated image was representing. He thought it was a doctor helping someone.
and what he learned when he learned of the concerns he immediately removed the post when i looked at the illustration i did not jump to the same conclusion as some and then he says that this was just all the donald trump's critics they just wanted an excuse to come after him and make some stuff up and they use this as that excuse like dude you're a charlatan you're a fraud okay stop defending this behavior you don't have to defend everything this guy does he is attacking religion which is your whole thing i i
I think. I know you're not a Catholic, you're an evangelical, but you should be offended when Donald Trump is attacking any form of Christianity, Catholicism, any religion, to be honest. But this is the kind of behavior we've come to expect from Donald Trump's sycophants. They will support
everything he says and he surrounds himself with these very fraudulent kind of religious leaders the people who are more interested in taking big money from people and building these mega churches than they are about actually spreading the word of jesus christ Exactly.
And that's why, because it's so fraudulent what we're witnessing right now, because MAGA loves to pretend, loves to pretend that Trump is like this religious person, that Trump does what Biden actually did and attend church every Sunday and actually be a religious person and be someone who really believed. Donald Trump doesn't care about any of that. Right, Brett? It's all about the grift.
