Chapter 1: What crises are currently affecting the Trump administration?
a lot to discuss on this episode of the midas touch podcast we'll talk about donald trump's disastrous address to the nation on his catastrophic war in iran that only continues to escalate i believe it was the worst presidential address in american history today donald trump started blowing up bridges in iran and bragging about it bragging about war crimes to which iran responded right away the fact that you're
blowing up our bridges just reeks of desperation. In addition to blowing up bridges, Donald Trump and his regime continued to say, we're going to be bringing Iran back to the Stone Ages or we'll blow them up to oblivion or blow them up to the Stone Ages. to which Iran responded with a map of the Iranian empire during the Stone Ages.
Are you sure you want us to go back to the Stone Ages right there? And so you have this kind of constant trolling operation that's taking place by Iran. Donald Trump also spent the day saying that he thinks that Bruce Springsteen concerts suck and that Davy Crockett is a high IQ something about Jasmine Crockett. I really can't even follow what he's talking about, but just some weird posts.
Chapter 2: Why was Attorney General Pam Bondi fired?
by Donald Trump. Pam Bondi, Attorney General, was fired today. Lots of people believe Kash Patel is next. Also, the Army Chief of Staff was fired today or forced out into retirement. The price of oil, both Brent and WTI crude, surging. The national average over $4.08 today. gallon right now.
Chapter 3: What military leadership changes have occurred recently?
Donald Trump and his regime have also been targeting anyone who's potentially involved in future negotiations regarding peace talks in Iran. So Donald Trump has been soliciting Pakistan, please help Pakistan get Iran involved. So Pakistan reached out to a former foreign minister who's viewed as kind of a more moderate person, if you will, within the Islamic Republic.
And then the Trump regime killed that former foreign minister's wife and caused severe injuries to that former foreign minister who the Trump regime asked to try to get involved. And so we'll talk about that. His name is Kamal Karazi. And he gave an interview at CNN actually back in mid to early March where he was talking about exact – he was kind of predicting exactly what was going to happen.
Chapter 4: How did Trump's national address impact oil prices?
You also have Donald Trump attending a Supreme Court oral argument where Trump's tried to basically overturn the 14th Amendment birthright citizenship. After the Supreme Court justices who Donald Trump appointed started asking questions to the Solicitor General, basically the main attorney who does the oral arguments for the Justice Department,
Donald Trump got angry and then stormed out of the courtroom. Very odd, odd and petulant behavior. And then he started talking about, these judges are stupid. These are, all the right wing judges are stupid.
Chapter 5: What actions did Trump take regarding the Iran conflict?
They don't do, they don't do what I want. And if I was a king also, why are other judges, by the way, Republican judge in Washington, DC, Judge Leon, blocking my ballroom. By the way, that's probably what's making Donald Trump most upset right now is that his ballroom has been permanently blocked pending congressional authorization, which I don't think Congress is going to authorize right now.
We got all of that and much more to talk about. You know, it's a normal episode of the Midas Touch podcast. In other words, you know, there you have it, Brett and Jordy.
Yeah, well, isn't every day a normal day? Guys, every day it just gets crazier and crazier. But I would say in particular over these past few days and these past few weeks, it feels like the wheels are falling off the Trump train even more than they were in the past. Like he's just, let's face it, he's totally lost control of this thing. He entered this war, I don't know,
who knows why i it still doesn't make any sense i think he thought he was like being macho and he'd help israel and he'd be able to be mr tough guy and you know mr america blowing up things you know and and now he's just stuck in this quagmire that he can't get out of and so he's trying to look for any possible win that he can but what i don't think he necessarily realizes or maybe he just doesn't
is that all the actions that Trump is taking right now are getting us more entrenched in this war, and they're making Iran more defiant and more resilient throughout the process. And he's also really been very off-putting to all the Iranians who are sympathetic to us going in there and trying to overthrow this regime.
I mean, the things that Donald Trump is posting and saying, as Ben said earlier, are just straight up war crimes. And he's not making that distinction between the Iranian people and the Iranian regime.

Chapter 6: What was the outcome of the Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship?
And those threats are just propaganda gold for the Iranian regime. And that's why you see the Iranian regime using Donald Trump's statements, videos, all of these things. It's the best thing possible that they could ever ask for to have Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth saying the things that they are saying right now. We got a lot to discuss. I'm going to pass it over to Jordy first.
Jordy, what's the latest on your end?
What's up, brothers? Might is mighty. How's it going? It's, look, a lot to get into tonight.
Chapter 7: How is the Trump administration handling international relations?
When I was watching that just disaster address to the nation that Trump gave last night, I wrote down a couple words, brothers, might is mighty. Just a couple, like one word here and there. Low energy came to mind. Incoherent. Bizarre.
pathetic and just plain weird i don't know what the hell that was that we watched earlier this week when he addressed the nation but that he is just so absolutely embarrassing to this country every time he takes this every time he takes the mic every time he addresses us publicly a lot to get into tonight benji where are we starting off
Yeah, take a look at Donald Trump's post where he says, He puts that in caps. President Donald J. Trump, and he shows a video of the United States blowing up the B1 bridge on the Karaj northern bypass in western Tehran. I don't think the bridge was fully operational yet, but it was just about to be. It was. One of their, if not their, biggest bridge. It was a source of national pride.
It was for civilian use, and that was attacked, and Donald Trump said that he was attacking it because it was the biggest bridge to which Iran's foreign minister, Araghchi, responded by saying, "...striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender." It only conveys defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray.
Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover, damage to America's standing. Other Iranian social media accounts reposted Donald Trump's post, and they wrote, for example, Trump directly admits to targeting civilian positions, international organizations, Governments, hasn't the time come to act against this brutality?
Now, the Trump regime has used this guy, Barack Ravid, who is a reporter at Axios, to spread a lot of the kind of Trump and propaganda. He basically writes whatever a Trump official tells him.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Trump's recent statements and actions?
And I think the Trump regime has found it more useful now to manipulate markets and try to get information out by filtering it through something like Axios versus Donald Trump's social media posts, which nobody takes seriously at all. So I think people are wising up though now to like this Brock Ravid guy just writes whatever Trump or a Trump official tells him.
The guy's always been wrong about everything. But he writes, a U.S. official tells me that's how he always starts. Or three U.S. officials tell me. It's probably the same people over and over again. But a U.S.
official tells me the bridge was attacked because it was used by the Iranian armed forces to try and secretly move missiles and missile parts from Tehran to launch sites in western Iran and for giving logistical support for Iranian military in Tehran. to which this Murtaza Hussein account goes, okay, this is obviously a lie since it was not even operational yet.
The US president also said he bombed it because it was the biggest bridge in the country. And Trump was saying earlier this week, we're going to bomb your biggest bridges because they're your biggest bridges. And Donald Trump posted about it on social media.
He also posted a photo of Davy Crockett randomly and said Davy Crockett, obviously a distant relative of Jasmine Crockett and a very high Q frontiersman, would be proud of the legacy that he began long ago, especially Jasmine's great success as a politician for the great state of Texas.
Then Donald Trump went on to say that Bruce Springsteen sucks, MAGA should boycott him, his concerts suck, they are overpriced, save your hard-earned money, America is back, exclamation point. Again, very weird behavior.
And one of the things that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have been repeating over and over again is we're going to bomb Iran into the Stone Age, to which Iranian social media has responded by saying, well, this map shows Iran in the Stone Age. Do you insist on reviving it?
And for those listening on audio, the Iranian empire being very vast and basically stretching throughout the entire Middle East and in other areas as well, reaching into Africa. Donald Trump said, why isn't Iran, this is what he told Time Magazine, why isn't Iran calling? Why won't they call? We just blew up three bridges last night. And then he goes, they say Trump is not negotiating with Iran.
I mean, it's sort of an easy negotiation, isn't it? Meanwhile, Iran says that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed long term. for both the U.S. and Israel and their allies. Iran and Oman have been working together to create a toll system where they are charging $2 million or around that amount for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
