Bombshell after bombshell today as Donald Trump's birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein for Epstein's 50th birthday was made public after the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee were able to get to it via a subpoena. It has Donald Trump's signature on it. It's exactly as it was described by the Wall Street Journal. Now, the Trump sycophants are claiming that the signature, now that the actual letter has been released, is one gigantic forgery. It was apparently some plot by the Epstein estate. I don't know. Plant this in Epstein's birthday book over 20 years ago so that when you went back to the future, Donald Trump could be framed for talking about secrets and enigmas. And anyway, we'll go over what's in that birthday letter. But also, there was more damaging news that was released from this first batch of documents that were released from the Epstein estate. You see, unlike the doj, which is just turning over a bunch of old documents that are irrelevant that were already previously produced, this, this batch of documents by the Epstein estate based on this subpoena actually has some information that's very insightful. So from this Wall Street Journal article that talks about the new batch of information that was released from Epstein's birthday book, there's a photo of Jeffrey Epstein with a giant novelty check implying something about Trump selling him a woman for $22,500. It was one of Epstein's friends and a mar a la Joel Pascal who made a crude joke about women that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s. And that's memorialized on another document. We'll see what Donald Trump has to say about that. Also, over the weekend, Donald Trump was booed at the US Open. Donald Trump had ordered the United States Tennis association to prohibit broadcasters for showing the the booze. But there's something called cell phone cameras, Donnie. And we've got the footage of you getting booed over and over again. You know, Donald Trump left Washington, D.C. where there were major protests taking place against the military occupation there. Then he went to The United States U.S. open in New York, where he got booed. And then he came back to D.C. where he held a press conference at the Bible Museum, where he then started talking about today how domestic violence should not be counted as crimes. He was like, you know, when a man does something to a woman and that's counted As a crime. I'm like, why would you ever count that as a crime? On the same day that the Epstein birthday card is being released, Donald. And on the same day also where a federal court in New York, the court of appeals ruled against you in the E. Jean Carroll appeal, where a jury awarded e. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for your defamation of her character after sexually assaulting her. After that finding was made by another jury, I'm going to cover what the Court of appeals found as well. You have more information surfacing about Donald Trump's ICE raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia. After Hyundai's invested a lot of money in the United States. Trump's ICE Gestapo rounded up hundreds of workers, mostly all of them here with valid permits. The ICE brigade rolled in as though they were like invading the plant and started rounding up and shackling the workers. This has caused massive consternation in South Korea. We'll talk about that. And also ICE's other tactics. And you know, the Supreme Court made a horrible ruling today, essentially allowing Donald Trump to racially profile Latinos. In a decision that was reached, a, I believe it's a 6 to 3 decision. The three liberal justices dissented. The majority, the right wing extremist majority, said basically, you know, as it relates to Donald Trump's ICE racially profiling people in Los Angeles, their skin is a certain color and they're hanging out around certain places where migrants are known to be, which there's lots of migrants in Los Angeles. There's no issue about rounding people up first and asking questions later. Trump's roving. This is the language that was used. Trump's roving roundups of migrants and the shackling of them and putting them into detention centers and then asking questions later. The supreme court says in 2025, we're cool with that. The three liberal justices dissented and said, you know, there's something called the Constitution, there's something called the Fourth Amendment, there's something called unreasonable searches and seizures. And this would seem to fit the category and be the definition of that category. But that's what happens when you have a right wing extremist Supreme Court. While all of this is going on as well, Donald Trump is posting memes about Chicago that he's calling Chipocalypse like Apocalypse Now. So the five time draft dodging Donald Trump, who didn't serve in Vietnam despite being drafted to do so, claiming that he had bone spurs, is now posting memes that referenced the movie what Apocalypse now, which by the way was an anti Vietnam War movie. And didn't Donald Trump recently say every war and all of the things our military did after World War II were wokey or too wokey? Well, in any event, Donald Trump is posting Vietnam War imagery of helicopters dropping napalm and Agent Orange. But instead of on Vietnam, now it's in Chicago. And Donald Trump says, you'll find out soon why we've changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. That is a direct threat to one of America's largest cities in Chicago. But this is what this deranged maniac does each and every single day. And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump, as you know, destroying the Rose Garden at the White House. He's put concrete all over it, and now he's calling the concrete area. That's where the Rose Garden once was. He's calling it Club Rose Garden. It is now an exclusive club. It is a cabal, a club for the cabal of elite Republicans, oligarchs, rich people who get to dine on the most expensive meals with lavish forms of entertainment that we, the people, that taxpayers have to foot the bill for. While Americans are suffering, one of the worst jobs reports in generations was released at the end of last week. We know that America is not growing in jobs. In June, we saw a job loss of about 13,000. Unemployment among young people is already in Great Recession depression territory. Over 10.5% unemployment for young people. 7.5% unemployment amongst African Americans. Farmers are suffering and pleading across the country that they're about to go bankrupt, even though this is what they voted for. No one wants to buy our soybeans anymore. No one wants to buy our produce anymore. USAID is destroyed, so we can't sell, sell to them. The Department of Agriculture is gutted. We, we, we don't have any lifeline. You're hearing the farmers say across the country right now. So, in other words, we've got a lot to discuss here on the Midas Touch podcast. I'm going solo today. Jordy's on papa duty and Brett, newfound papa. So Brett just had a baby boy. Baby boy's name is Milo. Brett and his wife are with Milo right now. I had the opportunity to see Brett's young, his new child. Wow. Such an incredible, incredible weekend that we had at the Mycellus family. I don't want to share too much information because I know Brett wants to be the first person who will be able to share it with you, but a new member of the Mycellus family, and I want to say shout out to Brett, shout out to Brett's wife, shout out to Brett's growing family, to the grandparents now and our parents who have three grandkids right now. And so it was an incredible thing to be with Brett at the hospital. Brett's now back at his house after a very important weekend for, of course, Brett and for the Mycellus family and for the Midas Mighty. So let's get into it. We've got a lot to discuss, folks. And so why don't we start by talking about the birthday book. The letter that Donald Trump said to Jeffrey Epstein back in 2003. This was the subject of that July expose by the Wall Street Journal where they described the letter how Donald Trump doodled a photo of a naked, the outline of a, of a naked woman, although the outline, many people have said, looks more of the outline of like an, like a, like a naked girl, is what I'm seeing a lot of people saying the way it was doodled that has been released and it says everything that the Wall Street Journal said it was. We see Donald Trump's signature there. I will just read for you. This is Julia Davis says, just look at it. Was he drawing a girl or a woman? And this was again part of Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday. Ghislaine Maxwell collected birthday letters from all of Epstein's friends. It wasn't just Donald Trump who sent it. It was lots of people who sent it over. So there's a lot of other corroborating letters in this book. And I mean, Donald Trump's is one of dozens and dozens of other letters. But during the height of Jeffrey Epstein running a pedo sex trafficking ring in 2003, 2004, when he and Donald Trump were the closest of friends. Here is what Donald Trump sent to Epstein. It was written in the form of like a movie script. And so it has like voiceover what Donald says, what Jeffrey says, and it's a hypothetical conversation between the two. And it says voiceover. There must be more to life than having everything. DONALD yes, there is. But I won't tell you what it is. JEFFREY Nor will I, since I also know what it is. DONALD we have certain things in common, Jeffrey. JEFFREY yes, we do. Come to think of it. DONALD enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? JEFFREY As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. DONALD A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. Donald J. Trump. And you see Donald Trump's signature right there on the bottom. So after that, it seems pretty obvious. Now we have the receipts. Donald Trump sent it. That's Donald Trump's signature. I mean, what would the implication be that this is not Donald Trump's signature? That what The Epstein estate, which is the source of this die, not the Wall Street Journal, isn't the source of this document. It's the Epstein Estate, which has this document. Right now the question is, who leaked it to the Wall Street Journal? Was it someone in the Epstein estate? Was it Ghislaine Maxwell, since she likely had copies as well, or her family may have copies, and she was the one who put it together. We don't know if she leaked it or who leaked it, But. But the source of this, who has it, it's the Epstein estate. They maintain custody and control over this for all of the litigation, for the criminal cases, for the civil cases, and their job is to have a trustee to protect this information. So the implication that what, the Epstein estate planted this to attack Donald Trump, when you have all these other letters that are corroborating as well, at a time when Donald Trump was close friends with Epstein. Trump said right around that time period, a year before, Trump's on record with New York Magazine saying Epstein is a great guy who likes beautiful women. Some say on the younger side, around the time that Donald Trump and Epstein would invite the girls of indeterminate age. Women, girls, women. Not clear their ages, but the people from Trump's beauty pageants who ranged in ages from 14 to 28. Unclear. The ages of the people who would show up at Trump's Mar a Lago home, but it would be Trump and Epstein. And then they would tell these girls that there would be VIP modeling scouts there, but it would just be Donald and Epstein. According to people who helped bring the girls there. They thought they were going to, like, model agency interviews, and it was not. It was just Donald and Epstein there. So you have. You have that going on in the background. So what during all of this, that the Epstein estate created this thing as a fake? I mean, what are we talking about here? But that's what they're. That's actually what they're going with. The MAGA influencers like Eric Doherty go holy. The Wall Street Journal just published that letter that President Trump sent to Epstein, and it's not even his signature. Defamation. Pay up. This is what the MAGA influencers are saying. Taylor Buttowich goes. Time for News Corp. To open up that checkbook. It's not his signature. Defamation. You have Matt Gaetz, who of course has his own situation involving an underage girl goes, they continue to lie about Donald Trump defamation. In response to some of those other posts, then you have Donald Trump's press secretary, chief propagandist Caroline Levitt, published the latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal. This is what she posted on her social media. The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal proves this entire birthday story is false. As I've said all along, it's very clear Trump did not draw this picture and he did not sign it. So just pause there for a second in response to clear, convincing, overwhelming evidence of his signature. Like, remember when Donald Trump says, I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and I can get away with it? That's what they're doing. They're basically saying, look, this is his signature. But where do we think you all are so freaking stupid? We think the MAGA base is so dumb and the Fox viewers and everyone is so freaking dumb that we're going to say, this vindicates us. This is our total and utter vindication. And then she goes on to say Trump's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation. Furthermore, the reporter Joe Palazzo, who wrote the hatchet job, reached out for comment at the exact minute he published his story, giving us no time to respond. This is fake news to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein hoax. And that's what they're going with, the Democrat Epstein hoax. For all of the victims out there, for all of the future victims out there as a result of rich men, billionaires who are involved in this sex trafficking ring, having it covered up for far too long. It should never have been covered up at all. They call it a Democrat hoax. The thing that the Republicans were saying all along that they won't. This was their issue. They weaponize those Epstein files. They weaponize the pain and suffering of the victims to attack their political enemies, saying, oh, you're on the list. You're on the list. And when we were saying, what are you talking about? If anyone's going to be on there, Trump's going to be on there. He was like best friends with Epstein. They lived a few blocks away from each other in Palm Beach. Trump was all over the flight logs and the call logs and the call memos and Epstein's black book. And he's hung out with Epstein a lot. They're in a ton of photographs together. We've seen the videos of them together, all of the things that he said. Not to mention, Donald Trump's been found liable for sexual assault. Donald Trump is on tape saying, because he's rich. He'll grab women by their genitals and you get away with it because you're rich. And then when he was asked about in a deposition, he said, fortunately or unfortunately, when you're rich, they just let you do it when you're rich, fortunately or unfortunately. He's also on tape telling young children that it's locker room talk at the Young Republicans Club, that it's locker room talk to say those types of things about grabbing women by their genitals. I mean, he is on tape talking about going to beauty pageants and expecting the girls or the women of depending on the their a naked and looking at them naked. He goes, because when you're, when you run the beauty pageants, that's what you can do. There's so much data out there. But Trump was like, oh, it's, it's the, the Democrats are going to be all of that. And everyone else was like, dude, just release the files. We don't care who's on the file. Ultimately, no one's trying to protect anybody. Who's ever in the files is in the files. Let's get the information. And now you have the Trump regime standard line is this was one massive hoax. You know, when I think too, about this letter, the easiest thing for Trump to have said is look of especially if you believe what MAGA Mike Johnson's been saying recently, that Trump was actually the hero in this and Trump was trying to stop Epstein, which of course, nobody believes other than Trump's sycophants. On the one hand, it's a massive hoax. On the other hand, you have. On the other hand, you have Donald Trump as the hero. Apparently, he's the hero in the hoax. I mean, what the hell is even going on there? But at the end of the day, why does Donald Trump just say, hey, you know, we lived close to each other, we knew each other. There's a lot of famous people who send these letters. So of course I'm in there. But he goes, no, absolutely not. I never sign this. I would never doodle. I would never do drawings like that. And now we have his signature. And they say not his signature at all. Fortunately, we have a lot of people, too, who have gotten letters from Donald Trump, so we can compare the signatures. Also, I mean, you had Keith Olbermann, who Donald Trump once sent a letter to on March 28, 2024. I mean, the signature is literally a direct match. You could put one of the signatures directly over the others. Right there you have a letter that Donald Trump sent Apollo Zampoli, who was who introduced Melania to Donald Trump, looks identical. Adam Parkamenko had in his possession and custody a letter that Donald Trump once sent Hillary Clinton in November 2000. The honorable Hillary Clinton, congratulations on your well deserved victory is what Donald Trump wrote to Hillary Clinton. I know you will do a great job in Washington and I'm looking forward to having you represent us there for years to come. It's a direct. Looks exactly like the signature during that time period. There was a letter that Donald trump sent to Mr. And Mrs. Larry King. I mean, you just go back and forth. It's clearly his signature right there. And at the end of the day, this is what MAGA is going with. That, to me, over and over again shows you some of the dangers of MAGA in general. Like, why not just say, hey, yes, that's his signature. That's it. We're going to release the files. But they go, nope, this vindicates us. But that's what they do on every issue. The economy can be struggling the way it is now. What does Donald Trump say? We've brought in $17 trillion. 7. I'm about to invest the 17 trillion. You haven't brought in $1 trillion. You're making up these numbers. The entire GDP of the United States is $29 trillion. Who are you bringing in these $17 trillion from? From the tariffs you've taxed. You've taxed Americans and that's where you've raised 17 trillion. No, you went to the Middle east and what do you say? Collected 5 trillion from Middle east countries whose entire GDP is nowhere near that range. What United Arab Emirates whose entire annual GDP is $440 billion, somehow gave you trillions of dollars. Did everybody see that video also? Because to me, it's so telling where you now have these oligarchs who are invited frequently into the White House, like Mark Zuckerberg. And he was caught on a hot Mike Zuckerberg just admitting that he was making up the numbers about what Meta or Facebook will be investing in the United States. Because when he was there sitting at this table, he was like, like, what are you going to Invest? He's like, $600 billion. We're going to invest 600 billion. Then he's caught on the hot mic, he's like, I don't know what, I didn't know what number to give. I don't know what number to give. I mean, 600 billion. I know Meta does. Well, they don't have $600 billion in cash to invest in. The US and that's what all of these foreign countries are doing, too. You give Trump a made up number, he announces the fake numbers. There's no sign, binding deals. But we the people suffer. And then even when you have a signed letter from Donald Trump to Epstein, not his signature, not everything they do, quite literally everything they do is bad faith. I think we have that Zuckerberg clip. So let me show you that Zuckerberg clip now. Let's play it.
