What is the opening overview of the episode’s main economic and political concerns?
We've got a lot to discuss on this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. Gas prices hitting record highs, diesel gas surging. Talk about that. Interest rates were hike, 25 basis points to 3.75 to 4%. Donald Trump previously threatened criminal charges against the prior chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. for not lowering interest rates, keeping them the same. Trump brought in a new guy, Kevin Walsh, the chairman of the Federal Reserve right now. And guess what Trump did? Guess what Kevin Walsh did to Trump? Raise those interest rates. And guess what Donald Trump did? Behaved like an absolute lunatic and said, Now I'm not gonna trade with any country. And if we want to be really rich, no more trading with any country we have a deficit with.
Talk about that. Donald Trump called Barack Ravid his personal stenographer, propagandist over at Axios today. Surprise, surprise. Trump both said they really want to make a deal, and also I really want to annihilate them. Trump threatens absolute annihilation of Iran. Talk about that. Prime Minister Carney gave a speech before the European Union Parliament. The first time a foreign leader ever gave a speech like that there. They're talking about associate member status for Canada and the EU, bringing them closer together. An F-16 crashed in Michigan. Seems like an awful lot of planes are like crashing. And helicopters and Apaches and Blackhawks are like randomly crashing and like uh refineries are shutting down.
There's like power outages. We're not really know, not really sure what's going on here, but uh don't really trust what the Trump regime is telling us about all these various uh incidents. Of course, Congress, they're now in recess. MAGA Mike lasted about one day. Where there were hearings, and Treasury Secretary Bessant and Cash Patel were cross-examined. And I think that showed us all why we need accountability, why we need oversight, right? Because even though the MAGA Republicans control both the House and the Senate, and they basically rigged the rules so you could only get like a few minutes to question these idiots, they look so awful during their short period of time. So awful? I mean, you had Cash Patel talking about bestiality and why he allows people who were found responsible for bestiality to be in the FBI.
And he said, no, I'm referring to the victims of bestiality. And then even the MAGA Republican senator, Senator Kennedy, was like, are you talking about dogs? What are you talking about there, Cash? So we'll I guess we'll talk about that. Russian war in Ukraine continues to escalate. We've been covering what's happening in Odessa and Kyiv and cities throughout Ukraine. Similarly, we've been talking about uh Zelensky's response. We're seeing still refineries throughout Russia are being hit. Things are escalating there. Don't worry, Trump promised he was going to end that war. Like two years ago, he said he would end it in 24 hours. It'd be so easy. He used he has the best words, he said. So he would use. Use some words with Putin and some words with Zelensky and it would be resolved.
But now he blames Zelensky for the rising price of diesel. He says it has nothing to do with Iran. It's all about Zelensky. He's Fauciing Zelensky. Dr. Fauciing Zelensky. That's not a surprise. He was doing that before anyway. He was fauching Zelensky before he was fauciing Fauci. And then Donald Trump gave that deranged speech in North Carolina where he was dancing. We we we once did a video early on in the Midas Touch network. We called them like Trump dancing on graves, the grave dancer, and he's kind of doing that right now as the American people are suffering. He's like, I delivered all of my promises. We're in a golden age. Everybody's rich. Everyone's amazing. And then when he returned to Washington, DC, aboard Qatari Air Force One with Natalie Harp, he could be seen holding a placard about destroying the Kennedy Center, is what he was reading, a massive
uh gigantic placard that says destroy Kennedy Center that I guess he and his uh henchman Bill Poulte were looking at together, and this says yesterday, a legal observer
