I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background systems and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.

Donald Trump had a psychotic meltdown all day yesterday, hiding in shame at his golf course. Away from the press, he refused to be seen in public. He was making post after post after post, each one more deranged than the next. He left the White House at approximately 11.31 a.m. He arrived at his golf course nearby at 12.04 p.m.

167.895 - 187.437 Ben Meiselas

He called the lid throughout the day, meaning he basically banned the press. And then he just started making some of the strangest social media posts. He was posting images of himself and Kim Jong-un. He was making posts of himself during his criminal trial with the text that says, only Trump.

187.457 - 214.208 Ben Meiselas

He was making AI posts of former President Obama's presidential library in Chicago and making it look like like a trash can. And then Donald Trump goes, the Obama library 10 years from now will be a quote, Mecca for those who hate America, president DJT. So Donald Trump being racist and divisive and disgusting. Then he posts these weird photos of himself.

214.228 - 237.938 Ben Meiselas

He's posted like hundreds of these yesterday. I'm just going to show you some of the posts. He posts this weird photo of himself That says years ago after saving the woman skating rink in Central Park long before I fixed the reflecting pool and everything else in Washington, D.C., including most importantly crime. And he puts that in caps exclamation point. Donald J. Trump.

Chapter 2: How did Trump react to the media during his golf club visit?

667.948 - 686.432 Ben Meiselas

Israel must ensure that in the future as well, we will have the ability to act independently to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to prepare accordingly. Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

686.793 - 705.857 Ben Meiselas

The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza against the threats posed by the jihadist forces and organizers as a central lesson from the events of October 7th.

705.877 - 726.57 Ben Meiselas

The IDF will not withdraw from terrorist camps in Northern Samaria, which have been evacuated of residents, and if necessary, operations will be expanded to additional terrorist camps. Our security doctrine is sharp and clear. We act against both near and distant threats and strive for decisive outcomes rather than compromises and concessions.

726.55 - 746.435 Ben Meiselas

Much is at stake in this period and we are determined to continue leading a firm security policy that will prevent harm to our security achievements and will not endanger our ability to fight against the Shiite axis of evil led by Iran and the Sunni axis of evil led by the Muslim Brotherhood. I wish to express great appreciation to the IDF command."

So, I mean, he's basically saying we're gonna, they're saying it out loud, that we are going to work to undermine the any US peace deal with Iran. I mean, that's what they're saying right there. I mean, they're saying it pretty clearly. That's why I wanted to read all of those words for you right there.

762.195 - 783.302 Ben Meiselas

And I also want to point this out as well, because I want to go back to the reporting that we did here at the Midas Touch Network from last weekend. Do you remember when we reported how Iran was able to successfully target a U.S. radar site at Jabal al-Dukhan in Bahrain. Remember, CENTCOM said that didn't happen.

783.782 - 802.244 Ben Meiselas

I remember reading a lot of comments saying, Ben, we're not hearing this anywhere else. You're claiming that Iran successfully hit a radar facility. No one else is reporting it. You've reported on other things that are true, but this would be a big deal, right? Wouldn't we learn about this from other places? Well, In the past 24 hours, what do we know?

Chapter 3: What bizarre social media posts did Trump make while isolated?

802.785 - 817.281 Ben Meiselas

That's what I told you was going to happen. Satellite imagery shows the complete destruction of AR-327 early warning radar site at Jabal al-Dukan, Bahrain, following an Iranian missile drone attack on June 11th. By the way, it wasn't that hard for me to figure it out.

818.182 - 845.497 Ben Meiselas

I was watching on June 11th, and I saw the Iranian ballistic missile hit it, and then I saw it blow up, and I said, that seems to be where the radar is located. And so that gets covered up by CENTCOM as well. I truly pray for the safety and I hope for the safety of people in DC and everywhere, of course. But this event, is very, very dangerous.

You know, we know that pilots are having to divert their flights away from Reagan Airport in DC. Midas Touch Network did an exclusive on that. Aaron Parnas got the exclusive. Pilots are not able to land in Reagan right now because the lights that are coming up from this UFC stadium are impairing the pilot's vision right now. So they have to travel

865.651 - 893.696 Ben Meiselas

other places because there's an event taking place. And we talked about the pilots making reports to the FAA and to others about this situation. So this is serious stuff. We'll keep you posted every step of the way, of course. What a strange time. Hang in there. We're in this together. Thanks for watching, everybody. New Midas merch.
