What recent claims did Donald Trump make about Iran and military action?

Brett Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump proclaims we are going to invade Karg Island in any minute. Then Donald Trump proclaims we have a deal with Iran. Then Donald Trump proclaims the stock market that he's manipulating loves his deal. Then Donald Trump proclaims he loves inflation. He loves every aspect of inflation. It's all part of the plan. we learned that donald trump needed 22 specialists and doctors for his physical i think we all intuitively knew that when we saw his behavior and his cognitive and physical decline before us inflation despite donald trump loving it is not beloved by the american people the producer price index is surging the consumer price index is surging the american people are suffering as inflation continues to rise.

How did the stock market react to Trump's announcements?

Brett Meiselas 0:49
And then the Trump regime has handled the World Cup just about how we thought they would, banning Somalian referees, preventing fans from African countries from showing up, and just... behaving so horribly in front of the world i mean even russia and qatar didn't do anything like the united states is doing in such contrast to what we see in mexico in canada it's just it's really pathetic to watch but we're going to break down all this and more on the midas touch podcast i'm ben myself is joined by brett and jordy and so quite the swing from donald trump saying an invasion of karg island is imminent to now we have a deal and then iran said we don't really know about this we haven't really approved it yet although then as the day progressed they said well we're actually contemplating it now israel says we're not a signatory to this deal we're going to keep on attacking lebanon and then israel tried to mischaracterize the terms of the kind of purported deal that's taking place more of more of that going on brothers and mightiest mighty

A whole lot of that, a whole lot of whiplash today, as we've been accustomed to, though. I mean, if you've been following this, it's been whiplash the entire time.

What are the implications of Trump's statements on inflation?

Brett Meiselas 2:02
Trump says something, then he takes it back. Iran denies it. Israel denies it. It's been this tit for tat, weird back and forth the entire time, which is what makes it so hard to cover. But, you know, that's why we try to break through the noise and figure out what is actually happening. Brothers, great to be here as always. Great to be here with you, Midas Mighty. And I want to give a shout out to the Midas Mighty up top and thank everybody for the incredible birthday wishes. My birthday was yesterday. So many of you reached out and DMs and and tweets and blue sky posts and throughout all the above and so i just want to say thank you thank you so much i had an absolute great day capped off by that incredible new york knicks win a a it's just happened something like apolitical you know to focus on a little bit that brings everybody together
Brett Meiselas 2:48
There aren't a lot of moments like that in 2026. And so I think that's pretty cool. It's actually fascinating looking through kind of the Twitter feed yesterday and seeing people of all kind of political backgrounds, you know, excited about the game. Like I saw, you know, everyone from people we all know to like Erica Kirk and people being like, holy crap, that's, you know, And when you see that, you're like, oh, yes, there was a world before all this where people actually watched cultural events together and weren't in this disastrous world created by Donald Trump of this gaslighting and this endless war and chaos that we're experiencing every single day. But, hey, that's what we're here to combat.
Brett Meiselas 3:27
That's what we're here to dig ourselves out of. Jordi, it's great to see you. What's the latest? Great to see you, brothers. Great to see you, Midas. Mighty Brett, I think that world you're referring to is 2015. Great world. Great world indeed. Benji, where are we starting off today, big bro? Although, Brett, I think one group of people that it didn't bring together were San Antonio Spurs fans. So I just want to empathize and just say, hey, being a Knick fan for all your life, when they haven't won since 1973. You could just let Nick fans just have a moment.
