• Memorable Quote (Trump, 04:09):

  • “Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You’re one sided crooked network. So let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling.”

  • “The ayatollah is a very strong, powerful man. Much respect, much respect.” [12:09]
  • On the Ayatollah’s son:
    "I think more rational, injured, pretty badly injured. So There’s a certain bravery there..." [19:19]

[Midas Touch Host]

Donald Trump just had a absolute meltdown during an interview with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press. And then he abruptly took off his microphone and ran away. He also touched Kristen Welker very awkwardly. Let me show you what just went down moments ago as she was asking some pretty basic questions about his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. The pressure was just too much for Donald Trump and he ran away. He. Here, watch this.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

I think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're

[Kristen Welker]

nowhere close to picking local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

No, they're crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Crooked. Just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

To be fair, I'm not crooked.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

But let's really. Well, you play right into their hands.

[Kristen Welker]

Let's continue.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with a trapped. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide And I got 94% bad press. But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.

[Kristen Welker]

But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Todd, you have more evidence, there's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk about your elections in this country. We're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and cnn. You're one sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling.

[Donald Trump]

Have a good time.

[Kristen Welker]

Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

I've sat in the rain.

[Kristen Welker]

I know. I've sat in the rain for an

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

hour, on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest.

[Kristen Welker]

Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.

[Midas Touch Host]

I mean, that's not the temperament of anybody who should be anywhere near a position of leadership. Just think about that. That's how he's behaving every day in the White House. That's why I keep Saying he's panicking and he's running away. You saw it right there. Then Donald Trump gets angry because he felt that he was being interrupted with his microphone. Here, watch this. This took place before he ran away. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

I was in Iowa and The prices were $1.85 a gallon. $1.91 a gallon. What?

[Kristen Welker]

This time it wasn't the rain, but an audio issue that forced us to pause the interview again.

[Midas Touch Host]

Then let me show you what went down right before Donald Trump stormed off. You can see how this meltdown developed. I mean, he is way too emotional to be in this position or anywhere near this position that he has here. Play this clip.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Crooked press. People like stupid Biden. He's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful Resolute desk in the Oval Office. What they did to the lives of people. They destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing.

[Kristen Welker]

Just. Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but there's a lot of. Todd, Blanche, listen to me. Let's talk.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Tremendous evidence is nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. Happening right now in California. Right now. It's looking. Look at what's happening to that. It's four days doing well in California. It's how. They're not. They're, they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.

[Kristen Welker]

There's what, do you have evidence to support?

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look and I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens.

[Kristen Welker]

But, sir, that's not evidence.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

You think it's appropriate.

[Kristen Welker]

That's how they count the votes.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

You think it's appropriate that they have an election and. And five days later, they're nowhere close to picking up.

[Kristen Welker]

State, local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

No, they're crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

To be fair, I'm not crooked.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

But let's really. Well, you play right into their hands.

[Kristen Welker]

Let's continue.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their Hands with this guy. You know that these are.

[Midas Touch Host]

Then throughout the interview, Kristen Welker was asking him some pretty basic questions about this catastrophic war in Iran.

[Donald Trump]

And.

[Midas Touch Host]

And then Donald Trump would be like, iran's gonna blow you up with nuclear weapons. Meet the Press is gonna get hit with nukes. Meet the Press is gonna get hit with nukes. What are you talking about? Your own intelligence community said that Iran didn't have the nuclear capabilities when you and Netanyahu invaded. Now you're saying they're gonna nuke. Meet the Press. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

And the threat is largely over. Soon it will be over. But you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon or they will blow you up. There will be no Kristen, there will be no NBC. There will be no Meet the Press. You will end the Meet the Press string.

[Kristen Welker]

Let me ask you, though, then, Donald

[Midas Touch Host]

Trump is asked about his promise that he would not have America get into new wars. And Trump goes, I don't promise that. I don't promise anything. I've never made promises about nothing. Okay, here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

So when you say, I promised, I didn't promise anything. I don't like these ending, endless wars. This is not an endless war. We've been doing this for three months. Much of it has been under the form, a pretty good form of cease fire. The blockade has been amazing. Our navy is amazing. Our military is the best in the world. Hey, we took over a very powerful country, Venezuela, Very lot of soldiers, big, strong military. We took over Venezuela in a matter of minutes. We destroyed the capability of Iran in a matter of days. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Now, I'm going to finish it, but remember, you were in V. And then

[Midas Touch Host]

he goes, the reason I won the election is that I have good judgment. I'm a good judgment person. I know how to close deals. And if they don't do the deal with me, I'm going to blow them the hell up. I'm going, this guy, I mean, he's always unhinged. This is as unhinged as we've ever seen him before. And that's saying something, folks. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

Make a judgment. Do I want to go along and have a country that's doing really well, but somebody is going to try and kill us? Or do I want to put out that. That horrible threat? And I did. I put it out. I put it out for many, many years. Now I'm going to put it out permanently. I'm going to do it either through negotiation where we're very close to a deal or.

[Midas Touch Host]

And then Kristen Welker says, okay, you keep talking about deals. Do you wish you would have made a deal during your first term after you ripped up Obama's deal? Okay, easy to destroy a deal, difficult to make one. You say you're a deal maker. Why didn't you make one during your first term? Say, listen, you want to know why it takes a long time to do deals? Okay, well, you had your entire first term, okay? And then you had. Right now. You had two years to do a deal right now, and you decided to invade. You did Operation Midnight Hammer, or whatever the hell you called it, where you said their nuclear material was obliterated. Right Here, play this clip.

[Kristen Welker]

President, you promised that you were gonna negotiate a better deal. Do you wish you'd done it in your first term when you ripped it up at that before you ripped.

[Donald Trump]

No, they weren't ready. No, this is much better. This is much better. I would have done it in my first term. Israel wouldn't have been ready. Hear that sound? That sound of thunder, lightning?

[Kristen Welker]

Is that going to interrupt, guys?

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

No? Okay, people will.

[Midas Touch Host]

More from Kristen Welker right here about pressing him. You said you would have a new deal after you ripped up Obama's. You claim you're the best negotiator. So where is it? And I think this is what was really getting under his skin. Cause she was saying you're not a good deal maker without saying it, but just asking him, where's your deal, by the way? Where's any of your deals? Where are your trade deals? Where are the 90 deals in 90 days that you promised? Where's one deal in writing? Is there any deal? No, because he's a liar and he's a fraud. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

A nuclear weapon five years ago.

[Kristen Welker]

But, Mr. President, I'm curious, because when you were campaigning, you said you would rip up the Iran nuclear deal but negotiate a better deal. Why didn't you negotiate a better deal at the time? Because after it was ripped up, there were guardrails and they escalated their production of enriched uranium.

[Donald Trump]

It takes years to do these things. These people have been fighting for 47 years. They've been killing Americans. They've been taken off their legs and their arm and their faces have been hurt so badly and so horribly. I'm moving very fast. I'm into three months. You know, Vietnam lasted 19 years. I'm into my third month. And all I do is say, whoa, when are you going to win? If I were a Democrat, nobody would be talking that way. But it doesn't matter to me. I've gotten so used to it.

[Midas Touch Host]

Look, then he goes and he praises the Ayatollah and he's like, the ayatollah is a very strong, powerful man. Much respect, much respect. I mean, we are literally watching Donald Trump just decompose like watching a lunatic right now. Okay, you love the Ayatollah. After saying you're going to blow him the hell up, you realize that the whole world just recognizes that you're an absolute psychopath. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

But no, I think that we'll either have something done fairly quickly or we'll finish it out militarily.

[Kristen Welker]

Are you talking about the son of the Supreme Leader? He has not been seen in public. What is status? Have you talked to him directly?

[Donald Trump]

I do believe they have great respect for him. I have. I see it. I mean, they want to get his concurrence. They've said to me, they've said to others that they're looking for approval and he is part of the approval process. Absolutely.

[Kristen Welker]

Have you spoken to him directly? You said you want to meet with.

[Donald Trump]

No, I have not. I would if he'd like to, but I have not spoken to him directly.

[Kristen Welker]

Do you know where he is?

[Donald Trump]

I will tell you. They.

[Kristen Welker]

How he is.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah, they do pay homage to him. I would tell you if they didn't. And they seem to, based on what I see, they seem to respect him a great deal.

[Kristen Welker]

Do you know where he is? Do you know how he is doing physically?

[Donald Trump]

I don't want to say whether or not I know where he is, but there's a good probability that I do.

[Kristen Welker]

Is he inside Iran?

[Donald Trump]

I'd rather not say that.

[Kristen Welker]

Okay. He is the son of.

[Donald Trump]

Wait.

[Midas Touch Host]

Is the game plan to do what you did with Kim Jong Un of North Korea, send him love letters? You're respected, you're beloved. You're an amazing guy. Okay, well. Want to see what North Korea was doing today while Donald Trump was doing that interview? North Korean state media published this, a new report on Kim Jong Un inspecting a local defense plant and its fulfillment of ballistic missile production plans for the first half of 2026. The current scale of a Swasong 11 ballistic missile production is huge. And they keep bragging about their nuclear weapons every day. The whole world sees Donald Trump's weakness. Donald Trump claimed, oh, we got a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Donald Trump is viewed as the weakest person. And Netanyahu continues to pull the United States back into open hostilities with Iran. Moments ago, we learned that there were targeted Assassinations by Israel in Beirut's DIA district. And Iran considered said this before you attack Beirut, that's our bright line. We will then be attacking Israel, to which Israel will then ramp up attacks on Lebanon and Iran. And then the open hostilities began. This is exactly what Netanyahu was trying to do when he was invading Tyre and Sur and all these other areas. And escalating after the initial ceasefire was announced unilaterally, I might've had by Donald Trump, whatever it was a month and a half ago or two months ago. And here we're seeing the images right here. Israel has just launched airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, acting on direct orders from Netanyahu per idf. Iran has warned it will direct directly strike Israel if Netanyahu carried out this exact strike. We're now hearing from Iran's parliament, I might add one of Iranian parliament members says we will deliver a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime's attack on dia. These rabid dogs must be disciplined and put back in their place. Look at the sky over the occupied lands tonight. Expect Iranian strikes in Israel, expect Israel to retaliate against Iran. And it looks like full fledged war is back because we're looking at Donald Trump's absolute weakness right there and being dragged into this war by Netanyahu. Also to cover up the Epstein files, which nobody wants us to talk about right now. I mean, I was looking this morning at this article from Ground News. Nancy Mace knows her Epstein vote screwed her. And I was just looking at the media distribution of who's even covering this. And I should note that the coverage is down generally on Trump's coverup of the Epstein files, except here on the Midas Touch network where I'm bringing it up now just to make sure you all know about it. But like very few, when I look at the data and analyze it here, right wing media sources at all cover anything Epstein, just a full fledged kind of COVID up by Donald Trump's propaganda media. By the way, it's why this morning and all mornings when I do my research, I use Ground News. It's an app that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story to show you how the left, how the center, how the right are framing stories differently for every story. The color coded layout makes it easy to see political bias of each source. I can filter for high factuality sources and see which sources are independently owned or owned by large media conglomerates with corporate issues and corporate interests. So for example, I just looked at this Epstein story and Saw very little right wing media was covering it. Ground News has this dedicated blind spot feed that I find important when I program to make sure I don't have blind spots in how I'm doing my coverage for you. I believe in Ground News so much, we're going to be offering you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. Just go click the link in the description or go to Ground News MTN, or scan the QR code up here. It's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered. If you want to support the channel and get a on, click a clearer understanding of the world. Try out Ground News, Go to Ground News mtn, or scan the QR code up here. Now back to Donald Trump's interview with Kristen Welker. Right here. Kristen Welker said, okay, will any deal with Iran include the release of Americans who may still be held by Iran? Right now, is it gonna include that? And then Donald Trump's like, dm, no one knows the list. We don't have the list. There's no list. Did you ask for the list? Do you. Is that part of your knowledge set? Would you like to know that answer? Here, play this clip.

[Kristen Welker]

Will any deal you make include the release of Americans who are being held by Iran?

[Donald Trump]

Well, we talk about it and we'll see. Nobody really has an accurate list of who they are, what they are or if they're being held. But if they're been talking about it, nobody really has a list. You know that, right? You know, you're asking me about nobody has a list.

[Kristen Welker]

But are you demanding a list? Are you demanding to know and say

[Donald Trump]

they've got to give me the list? I mean, do you know people that we're talking about? If you give me the names, I'll

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

do my best to get them out.

[Kristen Welker]

I don't think that's been reported.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Huh?

[Kristen Welker]

I don't think it's all of the people who've been held.

[Donald Trump]

All I'm saying is this. If you have a list of names,

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

give them to me and I will get them.

[Kristen Welker]

But is it something you talk to them about?

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

We talk about people if they have

[Donald Trump]

them, but nobody knows who they are. Just like you don't know who they are.

[Midas Touch Host]

You have more Donald Trump praising the ayatollah. Let's play it.

[Kristen Welker]

Okay. He is the son of the last Supreme Leader who is obviously hardliner. Is this younger Khomeini any better for the United States than his father was younger?

[Donald Trump]

I think more rational, injured, pretty badly injured. So There's a certain bravery there. A lot of people, if they were injured that badly, they wouldn't be talking about, you know, how we doing with the United States that have other things on their mind. So there's a certain bravery there, but he is very seriously injured. Yeah.

[Midas Touch Host]

And then Kristen Welker's like, okay, well, what about, okay, if you're saying we're not at war, everything's great. Would you consider bringing back some of the 50,000 troops that you sent to the Middle East? Then why don't you bring the troops home? It costs me very little to keep them there and we may use them. I don't know what I'm going to do with them. Here, play this clip he's ever even envisioned.

[Donald Trump]

I think we're doing a great job, but.

[Kristen Welker]

So are you saying you would consider sending some of the troops home, sir? Some of the 50,000 troops who were sent there as a part of Operation Ethic Fury.

[Donald Trump]

It cost us very little to keep them there. I don't consider them in danger. We're the best defense anyone's ever seen. We're the the best offense anyone's ever seen. So I don't consider danger. I would say it'd be foolhardy to do that because maybe we may use them. It's unlikely, but I think we'll keep them there until such time as we have a completion. And when we have a completion, you will see things like you've never seen. The oil will go down.

[Midas Touch Host]

Kristen Welkers, all right, let's talk farmers. You spoke in Wisconsin recently. 70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer at all. What do you say? What do you say to them? Here, play this clip.

[Kristen Welker]

Gas is up. Diesel is up.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

It's all coming down as soon as the war's over.

[Kristen Welker]

70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer. What's your message?

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Farmers are doing very well.

[Kristen Welker]

Let me ask you, what is your message to farmers? Many who support you, but who say they're struggling, who say there's struggles.

[Donald Trump (continued/interjections)]

Nobody been better to farmers. You know, I gave farmers last term $28 billion because China took advantage and other people and, you know, paid for it.

[Donald Trump]
