moments ago donald trump had the united states military carryout strikes on iran's kashin port and bandar abbas and manab we will discuss what's going on there iran retaliated uh striking back at three naval destroyers We'll give you the latest information. In addition, you had the president of Brazil having a visit to the White House today. This meeting was supposed to take place before the press. It never took place. We'll explain how this press conference went sideways before it even began. Over the past 48 hours, we've seen more cover-up of the Epstein files by the Trump regime. Howard Lutnick refused to sit for an under oath deposition on video. Instead, Donald Trump, Lutnick, James Comer, Maga Mike, all colluded together to have Howard Lutnick give a transcribed interview, not on videotape.
And they're like not releasing the transcription right away either. It's a total and utter cover-up. People described Lutnik as being sweaty, that he kind of looked all over the place and flustered. He said he didn't know how he even got to the island, as though he just kind of magically appeared. We'll explain what happened there. Meanwhile, we've now also learned that the MAGA Republicans are using this time while Congress is in recess to try to sneak in $1 billion from taxpayers in a reconciliation bill to fund Donald Trump's Golden Ballroom. Let me repeat that. $1 billion of taxpayer money going to, quote, East Wing Modernization Project, as though they think we don't realize that means ballroom.
Meanwhile, you have Donald Trump talking about the UFC fights, the new golf courses he wants to build in Washington, D.C., triumphal arches.
What happened during the canceled press conference with Trump and Lula?
while the American people suffer, while the U.S. launches new military strikes in Iran and then says, whoa, whoa, whoa, we still want the ceasefire. We're just doing this because whatevs. I'll explain to you why they're doing it, though, in one moment. The American people are feeling the effects of Donald Trump's war crimes, of him and Netanyahu's catastrophic war in Iran. Prices are through the roof. People can't afford gas. People can't afford groceries. People can't afford their rent. Foreclosures now up 27% year over year. People are struggling having their health care ripped away while the Trump regime continues to inflict more pain, more suffering on the American people. Meanwhile, the Trump regime.
engaging in more trade with Russia than ever before, bringing in lots of fertilizer from Russia right now. No tariffs on Russia, no sanctions, really. The sanctions being removed on Russia. So Russia, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio,
How is the Trump administration involved in the Epstein files scandal?
The entire Trump regime focused on building those relationships, which are not helpful to the United States at all. There was a big meeting, though, in Yerevan, Armenia, which is a pretty significant location given their prior affiliations in the kind of Soviet bloc back in the day. But Europe held their political community meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, showing that Europe's united and extending and expanding. Prime Minister Carney was attending as well, the first time a non-European leader was attending there. You see lots of alliances and relationships forming while Donald Trump's America First means America all alone, the Epstein class alone. isolating the united states from the world we'll talk about this and more on the midas touch podcast brett and jordy great to see you before we went live we learned about the united states striking in iran iran responding with attacks on these u.s naval ships this is a rapidly developing story and we'll talk about why i think this is happening but i think they're doing it in service of saudi arabia and kuwait and the uae and all these countries who were
blocking their air bases and airspace to the united states after trump launched this disastrous project freedom and didn't notify them and then basically said oopsies when iran struck the port fujairah in the uae earlier in the week and the uae ship in the south korean ship and so i think trump to get them to reopen the airspace and their air bases which they've now done he's like all right i'll strike them symbolically symbolically this will be part of the game
