What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We've got a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast.
How did the episode introduce Trump's escalation of the war with Iran and early casualty reports?
Donald Trump escalating the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran, now hitting multiple civilian bridges in Iran, railways in Iran. There have been multiple civilian casualties reported out of Iran. Iran is striking back. We're seeing right now fires erupt right by the border of Kuwait and Iraq. We've seen Iran strike hard in Kuwait with Shahid drones, in Bahrain in a hotel in Oman. Iran is now also threatening to shut down the Bab-el-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea. If the United States were to have escalated and hit Iranian infrastructure, the u.s has hit iranian civilian infrastructure i think we can expect now iran to escalate shutting down the bab al-mandab straight in the red sea we already see traffic from the strait of hormuz completely shut down in fact when centcom was buzzing and telling some of these tankers you're free to go use the southern route use the southern route well after seven tankers in the past
several days have been destroyed by iran for taking the united states advice to use the southern route now we're hearing over the uh tanker uh radio uh frequency shut the f up we're not effing doing it get the f away to sencom that's what sencom has become at this point donald trump making a complete mockery of sencom sencom making a complete mockery of itself We'll talk about what's going on there because things are really getting very, very bad, and especially as America has depleted its strategic petroleum reserves, which I've been warning about like a broken record now for a very long period of time. Of course, there was the Todd Blanch hearing. Todd Blanch, the acting AG, is confirmation hearing to become attorney general.
Awful to watch someone so lawless, so callous, try to get this job. We covered it yesterday. We'll talk about some of the lowlights today. You have the Defense Department right now under Hegseth and the acting Navy Secretary. They like to call themselves the War Department unlawfully, but they've been encouraging the military to do these very like low flyovers, first at Kid Rock's house a month or two back, which were like, what the hell are they doing at Kid Rock's house? Then in South Carolina over July 4th weekend, Then most recently there was a flyover, I believe in Pensacola, very dangerous, very low, right next to, you know, you could see the, you could like right next to like kids there. And then you could see the beat, you can see just the way the kids reacted.
And then Hegsit says, until morale improves, we're going to keep on doing this. And then you have the U.S. Navy secretary out there also saying, this is patriotic. This is what we do. And then Hegseth did a whole video that he released about this is now the high T, war department, high T. And it's this whole video about we're going to give like testosterone injections and medication to soldiers and make sure they have their testosterone level really high. I mean, this is the most deranged and truly psychotic group of individuals. purportedly leading the United States, or I should say, leading us into bankruptcy and catastrophe at all levels. I mean, there was the hearing of the new ODNI, the Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, who was asked very basic questions by Senator Ossoff, and Clayton wouldn't answer, like, who won the 2020 election?
I'm not gonna answer. I'm not gonna answer that question. And with all of this taking place, you have ICE out there continuing to kill people in this country and take no accountability for it. The most latest, the most recent killing, Juan Sebastian Guerrero, there's a photo of him right there and his wife in there. baby who is now three years old, wearing a bluey shirt. My baby girl's favorite shirt is her bluey shirt and watching her father bleed out on the street as ice killed her father in cold blood. Talk about this and more on the Midas Touch Network. I'm Ben Micellis, joined by Brett and Jordy Micellis. How are you brothers doing?
