Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech in Miami. He was speaking at a financial conference. This says we learned that 10 U.S. service members were injured in a Saudi Arabia base strike by Iran. Donald Trump Trump giving a speech that discussed the war at some financial conference where I guess he can try to what, pump up his personal businesses and pump up quid pro quos, I suppose. While Donald Trump was out there in his mind breaking news that he would not be helping Naito in the future, that the United States was done helping NATO. And Trump's like this is some breaking news. We are not going to help NATO anymore. So as Donald Trump is removing sanctions from Russian oil, allowing Russia to make a lot of money and removing sanctions from Iran, he has now announced publicly that the US Won't help defend NATO in the future at a financial conference. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds of protecting them and we would have always been there for them. But now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we? Mr. President, that sounds like a breaking story. Yes, sir. Is that breaking news? I think we just have breaking news. But that's the fact I've been saying that why would we be there for them if they're not there for us? They weren't there for us.
Political Commentator
And then he says he wants to rename the Strait of Hormuz to call it the Strait of Trump or the Trump Strait. And the way he does it, look at as he physically and mentally deteriorates before our eyes and he's like the straight of Trump. This is what you're saying right now. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Have to open it up. They have to open up the straight of Trump. I mean harmless. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake. The fake news will say he accidentally said no, there's no accidents with me. Not too many. If there were, we'd have a major story. No, well, we had that with the Gulf of Mexico, remember?
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump says that he doesn't like to hang out with or that he doesn't like to hang out with successful people. He only likes to hang out with losers because it makes him feel much better. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Seeing right now what is missing in leadership. Well, it's winning. You gotta win. You know, I've watched a lot of people, leaders, great leaders, and you know, the one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, a two hour period, something nice. You don't have to wait a lifetime to find out is somebody a winner or a loser. You got a lot of losers, mostly losers. Fortunately, it's a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.
Political Commentator
That's true. Donald Trump is a loser. He likes to hang out with losers. Successful people intimidate him. It's one of the reasons why NATO intimidates him. It's one of the reasons why he hates the country, hates the success of the country. And it's why he's always been a destroyer. He's been a petty, vile piece of trash his entire life. And you're seeing it right here. Then Donald Trump says that one of the big principles of MAGA is helping Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. He goes MAGA stands for helping Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar the UAE. That's what MAGA base wants us to do. Here, listen for yourself. Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump
Good technology. Thank you. I figured you'd have good tech. I said, I wonder if they could put that ball up. We just did it two minutes ago. No, but I was watching this and I'm hearing them saying, could he be losing the MAGA base? I don't think so. You know why? Because MAGA wants to win, number one. Number two, they want our country protected. They don't want another country out there that's hostile and crazy to have a nuclear weapon. And number three, they like us protecting certain allies, whether it's Israel or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or uae, any of them. They want that.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump said, while his first term during COVID was great, right now he says it's even better. We've never been hotter and we've done regime change in Iran. He says, right, regime change. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
I said, really? I never did this before, Johnny. I said, how the hell did this happen? Right? But it did happen, and we had a great first term, but the second term is blowing it away, to be honest with you. It's really blowing it away. And when we, when we decide to leave, they, you know, regime change, I guess we change the regime. The regime keeps, gets. It gets blown up every two days. Everybody's afraid to announce who's the head. We don't even know who the hell the leader is. So I think we have regime change already, but we're going to be, at some point, we'll be leaving next.
Political Commentator
Donald Trump said that. I thought the oil prices would even go higher, but we're not finished yet. So maybe your gas prices will be much higher than they are right now. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
We had an unbelievable success, but this is much better. And by the way, when this war ends, it's going to be like a rocket ship. I thought we were going to go down more and I thought oil prices were going to go up higher than they are now. It's not finished yet. I'm not saying it's sort of finished, but it's not finished. It's got to be finished. And I thought that we would see a bigger drop in stock. Hasn't been that bad. You know, it's sort of crazy. I hit 50,000 on the Dow.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump says that we have our own Henry Kissinger. It's Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Aren't they the best Negotiators out there, aren't they doing the best job? First off, what the hell are they, these people even doing there in the first place? And no, they're actually the worst. They're actually despicable and disgusting human beings who have destroyed the United States of America along with your despicable regime.
Donald Trump
Here, play this clip as well as Special Envoy. I call him Henry Kissinger, who doesn't leak because Henry is a big leaker. Richard Nixon would beat him. Henry, somebody's leaking on us. There's somebody leaking. Henry would say, we'll get to the bottom. It was Henry that was leaking. That wasn't good. So we have Henry Kissinger better than Henry Kissinger, and he doesn't leak. Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. Thank you, Steve. Doing a great job. And he and Jared, Jared Kushner, they're like a team. And boy, I tell you, they're a good team. High iq. This is a high IQ team. You want to find your high IQ people?
Political Commentator
More from Donald Trump. Here he goes. If you read the New York Times, you'd probably think that we were struggling in this war when we've obliterated Iran. No, Donald, we have not obliterated Iran. Iran continues to target the neighboring nations where there are American interest and they continue to control the Strait of Hormuz. If we were obliterating them and we won, we would have the Strait of Hormuz, but we don't. And they're out there mocking you every single day. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
You would think we're doing badly against Iran. Remember, they have no Navy, wiped out. 159 ships at the bottom of the sea in three days. They have no air force. All wiped out. They have very few missiles left. Their drones are at a minimum. Their factories are gone. Their leaders are gone. The leaders are all dead. They're all dead. Nobody ever heard of the people that are left. And if you read the Times, you think we're doing poorly. It's so. It's almost treasonous. I have to be honest. It's almost treasonous. But fortunately, we have other media. That's fair.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump says, you can ask me any question that you want. You want to ask me about sex? Ask me about sex, everybody. What do you. Ask you about sex? What are you. What in the disinhibition is this? What are you talking about? Ask you about sex? He's a sick human being. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Unlike other politicians, they would like the question screened. I don't ask for screening of the Questions. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex. You can do whatever the hell you want. I'm here for you. Whatever question you want, you can ask. So do you want to do that? Do we have some people handling this? Here he comes. Look at this man. Very powerful man. Coming up, ladies and gentlemen.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump says what he likes about the chairman of the Joint Chiefs Staff, Raisin Cain, is that he doesn't like golf. And Trump's like, there are too many people out there who are golfing and not taking things seriously. As Trump literally plays golf every day. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
I've been looking for you for four freaking years. I found Raisin Cain. His first name is Dan, but his nickname is Raisin. And I love that. I loved raising Cain. And I said, if I ever get in, this is before I decide to even run. I said, if I ever run, and if I win, that guy's going to be the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That's exactly what happened then. He was all for me, and I'm all for him. But he's a great general. He's like one of these football coaches. That's great. You know, there's some great ones. Johnny, Right? And all they do is they sit. Their wives are complaining. Everyone's complaining. They never go. They don't see anybody. They just go into the room and they study filament tape. Then they go out and win. And everyone says, okay. And other guys are out there playing golf. They're not winning. And he's been great. And Pete Hegseth has been amazing. He's been amazing. Pete has done a great job. He was born for it. I really believe he was born for it.
Political Commentator
Then Trump attacks former President Biden and calls him Sleepy Joe. Let's play it in.
Donald Trump
His entire term, Joe Biden. I have two terms for him. Crooked Joe and Sleepy Joe. And I've never. It's always been pretty. You know, I do sometimes a poll which is a more accurate term, sleepy or crooked, Pretty much even. I like sleepy. And his entire term, Sleepy Joe Biden got.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump talks about how this country is sick and demented and they have nuclear weapons, and we were about to be turned into nuclear dust, but I saved the world. Again, just a deranged human being. Donald Trump is. You're the deranged and demented and sick human being, and you've turned the United States into that as well. And hopefully we can get out of this, because you've made the United States look so foolish. Right now, it's unbelievable. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
If you invest in the United States and keep doing it, because it's going to be a rocket ship, you watch. But then I said, all right, do I have to do this? We have a country that's sick and demented and they have a nuclear weapon or they want to have one. They were very close to getting. Remember, they were two weeks away. They were two weeks away. If they would have. If we didn't hit that, I call it the nuclear dust. I use the term nuclear dust. If we didn't knock the hell out of them, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two to four weeks and they would have used it on you and on Israel and on everyone else. And I said, we really do have to stop and go on a little different journey for a little while and take them out and then go back to life. And that's what we did. And we did it violently. We did it powerfully. We did it with the respect of the world. And we helped a lot of allies and we learned about other allies. We learned that other allies weren't there. We didn't need them, but they weren't there if we did need them. And that's going to be very costly for them. The stock market.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump attacks our allies even more. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
And we helped a lot of allies and we learned about other allies. We learned that other allies weren't there, we didn't need them, but they weren't there if we did need them. And that's going to be very costly for them. The stock market has said 50.
Political Commentator
Trump says keep investing in the US because we're a rocket ship, everybody. Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump
The year both of them, we broke every record, every stock record we broke. And you're big beneficiaries because so many of you invest in the United States and keep doing it, because it's going to be a rocket ship, you watch. But then I said, all right, do I have to do this? We have a country that's sick.
Political Commentator
And he keeps saying, muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, two Muhammads, let's play it.
Donald Trump
They turned against him and really became very powerfully aligned. And they were with us, but they weren't with us very obliquely. They were with us. But I think that I have to acknowledge for their bravery, because they were being hit pretty hard, all three of them. They were being hit pretty hard. The Emir Mohammed, Mohammed yet two Mohammeds and Tamim, and they're friends of mine.
Political Commentator
And also I have to And Donald Trump says, I want to thank my friend, the Crown Prince Mohammed. He's a warrior. And I think that he's not afraid of the countries that he should be afraid of. What are you even talking about? Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump
But in particular, I want to thank my friend, the Crown Prince Mohammed, who is a fantastic man and a great friend of mine and a friend of all of yours, I think. And he's a warrior. He's a warrior. He was not afraid of this country that frankly, he should have been afraid of because they're very powerful. I want to thank Tamim because Tamim is. These three people have been.
Political Commentator
Someone asked Donald Trump what he wants his legacy to be and this idiot says that he wants it to be that he was a peacemaker and that he made peace throughout the world. The guy who literally, basically started a war involving the entire world that he and Netanyahu caused, he's like, I want to be known as the peacemaker. No, you'll be known as the fascist idiot who harmed and destroyed the United States. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
My last question, Mr. President, is the same question I asked you last year. What do you want your legacy to be? Well, I'll tell you what. So I told you that I settled eight wars. That means millions and millions of people. And some of those wars were going on. One was 34 years, one was 32 years. One was 29 years, one was 22 years. They were long term wars and a lot of people being killed every year. So I've saved millions and millions of people. And I mean, I know it doesn't sound right for me to say this, but I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker because I really believe I'm a peacemaker. It doesn't seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker.
Political Commentator
Then he finishes by saying that he's given Don Jr. The best genes, that Don Jr. Has the best genes thanks to him. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Princess. Hi, how are you? Now we have our great son. He's got the best genes, I think, of any human being I've ever known. He's my son, Don Trump. Don, he's a great guy. And his fiance, Bettina. Good, Bettina, good. Now my son's got the greatest genes in history. I'm a big believer in genes, by the way. I will tell you.

Hosts: Ben, Brett & Jordy Meiselas
Theme: Analysis and reactions to Donald Trump’s speech at a Miami financial conference, focusing on his controversial statements regarding war, NATO, Iran, allies, and his personal philosophy.
This episode centers on Donald Trump’s recent speech in Miami amid international conflict, where his unscripted remarks caused widespread concern and ridicule. The MeidasTouch brothers break down some of the most jarring, contradictory, and self-aggrandizing claims Trump made regarding US foreign policy, national security, his approach to leadership, and personal worldview—layered with the brothers’ signature biting commentary.
Trump publicly announced that the US would no longer support NATO, which the hosts call “breaking news” only in his mind.
Discussed sanctions lifted on Russian and Iranian oil, suggesting this benefits adversarial regimes ([01:45]).
“We spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO… But now, based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we?”
—Donald Trump [02:42]
Renaming the Strait of Hormuz
Trump repeatedly referred to the “Strait of Hormuz” as the “Trump Strait,” catching himself and rambling about media coverage ([03:07]).
“They have to open up the straight of Trump. I mean Hermuz. Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake. The fake news will say he accidentally said—no, there’s no accidents with me.”
—Donald Trump [03:25]
Preference for “Losers” Over “Winners”
Trump openly said he likes being around “losers” as it makes him feel better, not successful people ([04:06]).
The brothers mock him for admitting what they see as his insecurity and self-centeredness.
“I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.”
—Donald Trump [04:06]
Trump bizarrely asserted that MAGA’s priorities include protecting Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE, not just America ([05:17]).
“MAGA wants to win, number one… and number three, they like us protecting certain allies, whether it’s Israel or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or U.A.E, any of them. They want that.”
—Donald Trump [05:17]
Claimed his second term, amidst war, was outperforming his first term, and that regime change in Iran was accomplished ([06:05]).
Bragged that US actions left Iran leaderless and destroyed their military, contradicting real-world events ([08:49]).
“Their leaders are gone. The leaders are all dead. They’re all dead. Nobody ever heard of the people that are left. And if you read the Times, you’d think we’re doing poorly. It’s almost treasonous.”
—Donald Trump [08:49]
Invites questions—including about sex—openly from the audience, baffling the hosts ([09:21]).
“You can talk sex. You can do whatever the hell you want. I’m here for you. Whatever question you want, you can ask.”
—Donald Trump [09:37]
Says his new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, “Raisin Cain,” is the ideal general because he doesn’t golf, then praises himself for not golfing—while he is famously known for golfing frequently ([10:18]).
“Other guys are out there playing golf. They’re not winning.”
—Donald Trump [10:18]
Offers his habitual nicknames for Biden and describes him as “Sleepy Joe” ([11:21]).
Claims the US narrowly avoided being turned into “nuclear dust” thanks to his intervention ([12:04]).
“We have a country that’s sick and demented and they have a nuclear weapon or they want to have one ... If we didn’t knock the hell out of them, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two to four weeks and they would have used it ... And that’s what we did. And we did it violently.”
—Donald Trump [12:04]
Predicts markets will surge when the war ends, boasts about economic records and encourages more US investment ([13:34]).
“So many of you invest in the United States and keep doing it, because it’s going to be a rocket ship, you watch.”
—Donald Trump [13:34]
Claims he ended eight wars, saved millions, and wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker,” a statement the hosts deride as surreal ([15:32]).
"I’d love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker because I really believe I’m a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I’m a peacemaker.”
—Donald Trump [15:32]
Praises son Don Jr. for having “the best genes”—his own—ending on a surreal, self-referential note ([16:24]).
“My son’s got the greatest genes in history. I’m a big believer in genes, by the way.”
—Donald Trump [16:24]
Throughout, the MeidasTouch brothers punctuate Trump’s speech with incredulity, sarcasm, and derision, highlighting the danger, narcissism, and absurdity of his comments. Their reactions frame Trump’s statements as not just false or questionable, but fundamentally at odds with American and democratic values.
Summary:
This episode spotlights Trump’s “disaster speech”—an incoherent and contradictory narrative designed to flatter himself and alienate allies, all while risking global security. The MeidasTouch team exposes and lampoons his boasts, gaffes, and dangerous positions, supplying context for listeners seeking to understand both the facts and the farce.
