How did the hosts introduce Trump's escalation with Iran and early battlefield updates?
We've got a lot to discuss in this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. Donald Trump engaging in a massive escalation of this catastrophic war in Iran. Iran is responding, striking U.S. military bases in the region, the United States abandoning a lot of its military bases in the neighboring Arab nations to Iran, moving military equipment to Israel. Meanwhile, The Houthis, part of the Axis of Resistance with Iran, have been able to successfully and effectively close down the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Saudi Arabian tankers. Two Saudi Arabian tankers were struck by the Houthis. About seven to eight others turned around after seeing what went down to those other two tankers. the strait of hormuz still remains effectively shut down by iran despite zencom claiming the contrary that it's open and everybody's using it and things are amazing in the strait of hormuz donald trump was in dover delaware for the dignified transfer as four more service members who were killed in action returned donald trump put words in their mouth and one of the most disgraceful things i've ever seen saying that they all said before they die they didn't want iran to have a
nuclear weapon donald trump giving multiple deranged uh speeches recently we'll talk a little bit about that but now he's doing that thing where he calls up his different preferred reporters saying how massive the escalation is going to be trying to intimidate iran by saying the attacks are going to be so devastating so many bridges and power plants iran's going to be begging for a deal if we bomb them more they're going to be begging for a deal We actually have top military officials who continue to leak to New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, Wall Street Journal, and others that the United States doesn't have the munitions. And that's pretty obvious if you see Iran being able to strike with impunity American bases in the region.
Meanwhile, you have the price of oil surging, crude over $100 a barrel, and that could be $150 a barrel. in the blink of an eye gas prices here at home are going up significantly inflation is surging the 10-year 20 30-year treasury yields going up significantly worse than really at any time during trump's term so far including his liquidation day or liberation day whatever the hell They call it. Meanwhile, Trump keeps putting tariffs on Canada and Brazil and other places, saying if we just put more tariffs on, that's going to make them want to do deals with us. They'll back down the more we tariff them. Iran will back down the more we bomb them. And the American people are the ones who are suffering.
There have been a series of polls coming out, whether it's Washington. Post, Politico, Pew, Fox, and others. I mean, Donald Trump's approval is the lowest in modern presidential history, worse than Nixon when Nixon resigned. Also, in terms of the war itself, record lows. There's never been a war less popular in the history of the United States than this right now. So in other words, we've got a lot to discuss. Brett and Jordy, good to see you both. A busy, busy, busy
day in the news and uh you know trump inflicting catastrophic pain and suffering on the american people in the world but ben maybe if he just keeps doing the same thing but harder and over and over again it will solve the issue of course i'm being sarcastic it's good to be here with you ben good to be here with you jordy great to be here with you midas mighty you know this is that reality deficit that we've talked about so much on the show right now which is that Trump makes these major proclamations. He comes up with these massive lies, and ultimately, in some cases, he runs into a brick wall of reality, and you can't avoid that reality. COVID was one such instance, and now we're seeing that with the Iran war, Trump threatening all these escalations, Trump threatening
more bombings more attacks meanwhile we see the data we see that american munitions are running low we're seeing that bases are being evacuated you can't escape that reality no matter how much you want to try so what happens donald trump cornered like the rat that he is his back against the wall
