What headlines introduce the episode and set the agenda on Trump, jobs, and Jack Smith?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
We've got a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. The rot runs deep in the Trump regime. Algae infested reflecting pools, a collapsing state fair, a literal collapsing state fair. Symbols of the rot that has infected this country and the entire world by Donald Trump and his despicable regime this past week. Donald Trump produced a partial financial disclosure, which I still believe there's a lot missing there, but it shows that he's made over $2 billion in 2025 alone from crypto schemes, over 21,000 stock trades, deals with foreign countries, and other licensing deals. We'll get into that because while Trump was doing that, we got one of the worst deals Jobs reports in recent history today, it fell far below expectations.
Ben Meiselas 1:01
Other than the healthcare sector right now, America is losing a massive amount of jobs. We are in a jobs recession. We'll cover what went down there. Internationally, the world is on fire. In Ukraine, Kyiv is burning right now. They don't have the Patriot interceptors to respond to the Russian ballistic missiles because Donald Trump is withholding the Patriot interceptors. And Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran has also reduced America's supplies. of the interceptors. And Donald Trump is also, of course, being malicious to Ukraine. People in Venezuela right now facing unthinkable tragedy after those back-to-back earthquakes. But the Delcy Rodriguez regime, which is basically just a puppet regime of Donald Trump at this point, unable to really respond to the search and rescue demands that are needed, unable to provide the supplies necessary to the people, compounding matters there and making it much worse.
Ben Meiselas 2:11
We're also hearing rumblings that Donald Trump is potentially working on a deal with Maduro for Maduro to lie about the 2020 election. and to perhaps return Maduro to Venezuela with Delcy under Donald Trump's control. And Donald Trump is preventing Maria Machado from going back to Venezuela. And Trump has called her behavior grotesque and says that she's just looking to do a publicity stunt in Venezuela by going there to help the people with supplies.

How do hosts describe Trump's financial disclosures and the scale of his crypto and stock gains?

Ben Meiselas 2:45
Also, because of this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran, America's strategic oil reserves continue to diminish, the lowest in American history in Cushing, Oklahoma. Gas prices have not gone down the way Donald Trump has promised, although last night Donald Trump was making social media posts of AI gas stations that he's referring to as Freedom Centers, which are apparently miraculously reducing gas prices. He says it's taking place in the greater Philadelphia area, although he posted a weird AI image. He's posting weird AI videos of himself as a doctor. And of course, he's spending his evenings attacking former President Obama and Biden while the American people are suffering. We've got a lot to discuss.
Ben Meiselas 3:35
Special Counsel Jack Smith is breaking his silence. He spoke to our friend Nicole Wallace on MSNOW. We'll talk about that. Trump gave an interview with Jordy's friend, I'm being facetious, of course, Joe Kiernan, who Jordy criticizes all the time. Kiernan did an interview with Donald Trump where Trump goes, of course my kids have inside information. Of course I did these trades. What do you expect me to do? But I waived my salary. I didn't. Every other president took a salary. I didn't take a salary at all. We've got a lot to discuss. Brett Jordan.
Mat Nuclear 4:10
We do indeed get to see Ben. Good to see you, Jordy. Good to see you, Midas Mighty. Man, the corruption, the level of depravity that is on display has just never been seen in American history. It is so far beyond, I think, even most people's comprehension. But I do have to say, you know, we've been predicting this stuff since day one or probably even since before day one. I almost want to dig through some of the Midas Touch podcast archives. Because listeners know from the very beginning, especially of this Trump administration, what have we been referring to this as? The rug pull presidency. We've been saying that since day one.
