Political Commentator
Donald Trump is having a disastrous Wednesday. The war is getting worse for him in the United States. The markets are crashing, he's destroyed the economy. So he calls up state regime media which calls itself Fox and he starts saying I'M going to blow the effing shit out of Iran. Except he curses. I'm going to blow the effing shit out of them. And then the host from Fox conveys that live on tv. I just got off the phone with the president of the United States who said we're going to blow the effing shit out of them. We're going to beat them the f up here. Let's play this clip.
News Anchor
In Jordan, President Trump tells Fox News about Iran. We are going to beat the effing s out of them. He went on to say, we'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating. So clearly the United States is going to respond to what the president described as a surprise attack. He says U.S. forces had just minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.
Political Commentator
Then this state regime media host says yes. And Donald Trump repeatedly said, we're going to beat them. I'm going to beat them down. They still want to keep on talking. Perhaps so we may keep on talking, but I'm going to beat the f out of them. I'm going to beat the f out of them. Here, play this clip in the Oval.
News Anchor
Great. In terms of possible talks with the Iranian regime, the president says we're going to let them keep talking. Remember, the Iranians came to President Trump After 13 straight days of US bombing against Iran asking to meet about the Strait of Hormuz and their broader nuclear ambitions. And those talks are taking place as we speak behind the scenes. And then this surprise attack launched against U.S. forces overnight. And again President Trump telling Fox News we are going to beat the effing s out of them and that US Strikes will take place against Iran in response to this surprise attack overnight against US Forces in Jordan.
Political Commentator
Then Donald Trump says that he had a great conversation with Netanyahu yesterday and that Netanyahu agrees with him on everything. Netanyahu understands the plan. By the way, Netanyahu, Netanyahu will be meeting with Hegseth today. More on what Hegseth was posting in just a moment. But here's what Donald Trump said right before Netanyahu is set to meet with Hegseth. Let's play this clip regime the president
News Anchor
also talked about his meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. He says it was a great meeting, adding he understands now it appears that the relationship between President Trump and the Israeli prime minister is strengthening. And again, the president called that meeting in the Oval great.
Political Commentator
In terms of and then more from the state regime media host who talks about his conversation with Donald Trump and then he talks about how Iran struck the US Base in Jordan last night which we reported first here on the Midas Touch network. And should also be noted that the United States and Saudi Arabia struck Iranian militias in Iraq killing about 25, 30 people. I'll get you the latest count in just a moment. But massive strikes on the Iranian militias in Iraq. Let's play this clip.
News Anchor
We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating. So clearly the United States is going to respond to what the President described as a surprise attack. He says U.S. forces had just minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. The President says he has reviewed video of the shoot down and it was US Forces conducting this operation to defend that area. He said it.
Political Commentator
And then this state regime media host says that Donald Trump said the Iran backed militias in Iraq are a cancer on the world. So Trump says I am considering powerfully additional warnings against the Iranian proxies after I beat the effing shit out of them. Again, this is how the President of the United States speaks. This is a complete and utter humiliation for us here in the United States as Donald Trump continues to lie and claim he's doing deals with Iran while we have run out of our Patriot interceptors, our Thaad interceptors here. Let's play this clip.
News Anchor
Militias overnight. He says those strikes were coordinated with the Iraqi government. He called these Iran backed militias a cancer on the world and says he is considering additional warnings against Iranian proxies and their link to the Iranian regime. The President also talked about his meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Ben.
Political Commentator
Now I want to remind you as well of just what happened again. Yesterday Iran launched strikes against a U.S. base in Jordan, the same base that about a week ago there were three US Service members who were killed in action there. Remember there was a fourth service member killed in action or who, who got killed in Erbil in Iraq. And then the United States and Saudi Arabia launched attacks against Iranian interest in Iraq. This was after Saudi Arabia struck the Sana Air Base Yemen which the Houthis control. And then the Houthis struck those three refineries in Saudi Arabia, the three main refineries in Saudi Arabia and the pipeline connecting east and West Saudi Arabia. Share this with you right now. Posted by Pete Hegseth so called Department of War, the Defense Department. Here's what they posted. That this task force embedded with the US Pacific Fleet at Joint Base Pearl harbor over a four day period delivered over 20 custom AI agents to sailors, automating heavy cognitive burdens on the watch floor.

day operational reporting process into just one hour, converting critical data into structured briefing slides. I don't know. Did I write that social media post too?
Narrator/Host
But the basic claim is that look,
Political Commentator
even though things are not going good with this catastrophic war in Iran, we're
Narrator/Host
building up our AI capabilities. But here's the images that they showed
Political Commentator
that our service members were discussing apparently
Narrator/Host
at this AI innovation training that was taking place.
Political Commentator
Zoom in right here about what's on the screen.
Narrator/Host
I need help building an agent to create a war. I received.
Political Commentator
That's one of the prompts on the AI behind our service members right there.

That's the search history right there. Meanwhile, as I note at the outset, oil prices once again are surging up about 7 to 10% on the day. Inflation continues to surge, obviously as America is in a very dire economic situation. A global economic catastrophe unleashed by Donald Trump's disastrous war. Trump's trade war against the world, the Dow jo all the major indices in the United States crashing today, doing horrible as a result of Donald Trump. But most significantly, the American people are suffering right now. No one wants to be involved in these never ending wars. And Netanyahu is meeting with Hegseth as we speak, talking about as Donald Trump says, you know, and again, the United States speaks like Nazis at this point. I mean the language is horrific is how Donald Trump speaks. We're going to blow the effing s out of them. We're going to blow the shit out of them. We're going to blow their bridges, we're going to blow their power plant. That's not how the United States should ever sound. That's how war criminals sound. And it's absolutely abhorrent to hear the commander in chief and leadership speak like that. It's so absolutely disgusting in my opinion. The popular mobilization forces, that's the Iranian backed kind of militia groups that are embedded within the Iraqi army, reported a Preliminary total of 20 killed and 32 wounded after the US Saudi strikes hit multiple PMF headquarters across Baghdad. Wasi, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkur, Karbala and Diala. And of course they've threatened that they will be retaliating against US Interests in the region there. The massive escalation right now is taking place. In other words, let me share with you some of the footage that we have as US and Saudi Arabia launch these strikes against the PMF in Iraq. And to be clear, the PMF is recognized within the Iraqi army. It's not like some hidden secret thing. And so this was also a kind of an attack on trying to create division between the Iranian army and kind of the Shiite factions within that army as well. Let me just show you this video right here.
News Anchor
Hey, what happened?
Political Commentator
We have more footage right here as well from some of these US and Saudi Arabian strikes here. Let's play it.

Lets face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre alcohol zebiotics. Pre Alcohol Probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre alcohol before drinks, I notice the difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Look, I won't lie, I was a bit on the fence about pre alcohol initially, but after giving it a chance, believe me, it's the real deal. July is packed with barbecues, fireworks, lake weekends and late nights with friends. Keep the good times rolling into the next day. Drink pre alcohol before you go out and wake up ready for whatever Sunday brings. Remember to head to ZBiotics.com Midas and use the code MIDAS at checkout for 15% off.

Here are some of the photos coming out of some of the PMF members who were killed by Saudi Arabia and the United States. Saudi Arabia came out with a statement shortly after saying we don't want escalation. PMF made it very clear they're going to escalate. And between Houthis saying they're going to be escalating against Saudi Arabia. PMF escalating against Saudi Arabia. Trump saying I'm going to blow the effing shit out of Iran. Iran saying we control the Strait of Hormuz.
Narrator/Host
Houthis today in Yemen working with Iran
Political Commentator
now to do a tolling system in the Bab El Mandab Strait. Very similar to what Iran is doing in the Strait of Hormuz to control the Strait of Hormuz. Iran saying, let's be very clear, we
Narrator/Host
are never going to allow, ever, we will fight to the death before we
Political Commentator
allow the United States to use the southern route or anybody to use the southern route on the Strait of Hormuz closer to Oman without our permission and consent.
Narrator/Host
It just ain't happening.
Political Commentator
We're creating a tolling system here and
Narrator/Host
we're going to work with the Houthis
Political Commentator
to create a tolling system in the Red Sea to chokehold the Bab El Mandob straight. Both the Strait of Hormuz and Bob

El Mandab are going to be locked
Political Commentator
down in tolling systems. We've been discussing this for a long time here on the Midas Touch Network. That doesn't come as a shock or a surprise to you. But you know, that's why I still expect the price of oil to hit125,150. We're nowhere close to being out of this.
Narrator/Host
It's Donald Trump back to when he
Political Commentator
was, you know, remember when Covid.
Narrator/Host
It's going to go away in a day. It's going to get better. Easter, it's going to go away. Bend the curve. Things are amazing. Things are great. More on that in a moment.
Political Commentator
Because apparently things are so bad right
Narrator/Host
now in the United States.
Political Commentator
Our economy is crashing. There's this never ending war. People are suffering.
Narrator/Host
It's actually never been worse right now for at least recent modern history in the United States. So now Trump and Maga are talking about the pandemic as a way to distract from the catastrophic war and the catastrophic economy. So catastrophic war to cover up the Epstein files. Now we're going back to their conspiracies about the pandemic in order to cover up the catastrophic war, which is covering up the Epstein files. That's what ski, that's what con artists do. That's what scammers do. It is all this Russian nesting doll of lies and cons to try to distract everybody while they loot and pilfer and do things. Like you're seeing as well with Trump and Gianni and Fontino and the Kushner's who want to create that hold to sell off the World cup and sell off pieces to private equity. You heard this right at a like $40 billion valuation. And now they're trying to bribe local football federations. We'll give you access to $40 million in funds if you go along and bless our scheme to sell off the World Cup. They literally Want to destroy everything that can bring joy by selling it to private equity and selling it to the right wing oligarchs. That's what they want to do also while they absolute chaos. Now one thing I'll note as well, and this goes back to our coverage of the Epstein files, right. One of the things that Epstein and Bannon and all in all these people in Epstein class in Trump's orbit wanted is create chaos, destroy kind of the global order and then have the oligarchs while people are fumbling around and attacking each other, loot and pick people's pockets. No. And ostensibly do things this wasn't in the files, but like turn FIFA World cup into a private equity hold co and then sell it off so that they can get their greedy hands on freaking everything. And you know, they're getting their greedy hands on children's sports as well. Iran fars, that's their state media citing military sources saying we're not giving up control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of US centcom told the service members stationed in the Middle east, warn them you're not allowed to take videos or photos of anything that's happening in these bases. The US Already shut down satellite footage of the bases in the Middle east because we were able to see that Iran was destroying the US Bases and equipment and radar systems and early detector warning systems and all of, all of that. And now you have Cooper saying you got to stop posting the videos and stop sending videos home to your family about what's actually happening here because you're emboldening Iran really by actually creating transparency that our service members are sitting targets and are getting killed and that CENTCOM and Hegseth and this despicable Trump regime is out there covering up the casualty numbers. You want to hide that even more? That's completely unacceptable. It is beyond distressing that we have a regime of war criminals right now in charge that's covering up the true casualty amounts right now. I also reported earlier that China is providing multiple, you know, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of those man pad shoulder
Political Commentator
missiles that will be going to Iran
Narrator/Host
as well as this is becoming a full fledged, not just regional war, but a war involving basically the entire world. Now one of the things we talked
Political Commentator
about on the Midas touch count this
Narrator/Host
morning, Republicans want us to memory hole everything Trump did in 2020 while dragging us back into the same tire 2020 culture wars, Wuhan vaccines, communism. Because now in 2026 they broke the country and they desperately need a distraction to Reinvigorate their base. It's like Vanilla Ice doing Ice Size Baby on loop over and over and over again. Which is an apt comparison because Trump has Vanilla Ice, the only person who's performing now at Mar a Lago doing Ice, ice, ice baby. Things are so bad for Republicans right now that they're like, okay, but we all remember the pandemic, right? When things were good, like when thousands of people were dying every day. So the MAGA Republicans, I'll do a whole other video on this in a moment. Bring in Dr. Foushee to testify today before the United States Senate. And their whole idea is to get him for perjury and then to prosecute Foushee. That's their whole big push right here. And so Foushee just invoked the fifth the whole time, knowing that that's their plan. But let me show you what the MAGA Republicans were doing.
Political Commentator
What their whole.
Narrator/Host
What this whole thing was, was while the American people are like, can you
Political Commentator
just make life more affordable for us?
Narrator/Host
Can we stop these never ending wars? Why are you bringing in Fauci? Why are you doing that? No, no. Who in 2026 seriously is like, we need Foushee.
Political Commentator
Yes, Fauci.
Narrator/Host
Fauci. I'll tell you, like Laura Ingraham, who's right behind him. And she acted like she was a. I kid you not. Laura Ingraham spent this hearing acting as almost though like she was a victim of Fauci. And then she was there, like, looking sad and she's like, I. This was weaponized against me. These people are the most pathetic losers. Imagine, call out these losers. These are freaking losers. You've got Senator Moreno to Dr. Fauci. He's like, here's what he goes. Who the fuck do you think you are? Who the fuck do you think you. I mean, who are these people who talk. This is a MAGA Republican cross examining Dr. Fauci, like cursing during this hearing so they could get brownie points with the monster creature thing in the Oval Office and get on state regime media.
Political Commentator
Fox here, play this clip.
Senator Moreno
When that story broke, I said to myself, I cannot stand Eileen aside and watch this happen. It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate. Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?
Narrator/Host
And then part of Moreno's questions is like, stand up right now. If you've been victimized by Dr. Fauci, you know, as though this is like the Trump regime covering up the Epstein files and re traumatizing survivors, Right? And Laura Ingraham stands up and she's like, me, really?
Political Commentator
I've been.

Doctor Frederick. You just turn around and look at the people behind you. You're not willing to do that. That's not a question. It's not a question to your lawyer. It's not a question, it's a request. All you have to do is look up from your lawyers and look at the people who were absolutely shamed for saying what we know now to be the truth. You can't even look at them. That's a question. Are you able to look at them? You can sit down. The audience. There was a.
Narrator/Host
And this is what they were talking about all morning. They brought on there. This is what right wing regime media
Political Commentator
was, was trying to push.
Narrator/Host
And this is what the Trump proxies were trying to push all morning. Like they had Peter Navarro making his rounds and Peter Navarro was like, hydrocloxychloroquine, Hydro. Hydroxychloron. Hydroxychloroquine.
Azure Standard Advertiser
We needed it.
Narrator/Host
We needed it. I had a billion gallons of hydroxychloroquine, horse tranquilizers ready to go and they screwed me. Okay, look, it's 2026, okay? You have Netanyahu meeting with Hegseth. We're in never ending war. Y' all created this mess right now, this disaster, and this is what you want to talk about? Who the hell are these freaking people?
Political Commentator
Here, play this clip.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright
If it saves lives, that's a beautiful thing. I think history will judge who's right on this debate, but I bet on President Trump's intuition on this one because of all the doctors I've talked to and all the scientific papers I've read and they're about this high.
Narrator/Host
And then you have Chris Wright, the Energy Secretary, accusing blue states of scapegoating data centers.
Political Commentator
This was their other message this morning. This guy sounds like such a weasel to you.
Narrator/Host
Now why are they demonizing data centers? Data centers actually helps electricity prices go down, not up. Data centers we all know reduces all. What are you talking about? Do you just think we're all stupid? This whole regime just thinks we're all stupid because they're used to their MAGA hat zombie idiots who are like, yes, daddy, you're my daddy, my mom, your daddy. You better than my parents, Donald. I mean, whatever the stupid thing you heard when he said in Michigan, it's like I'm better than your parents. Parents, they're used to that. But the American people, we're not putting data centers in our backyard and telling us that it makes electricity prices go down.
Political Commentator
What are you talking about? Here, play this clip.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright
Blue states have 50% higher electricity prices than red states. And now they figure they've got the perfect scapegoat. It wasn't our bad green policies, it was data centers that did it. Of course, it's total nonsense. The place that places that develop data centers and new firm generation, those are the places that I'll see electricity prices go down, not up. Well, you've got your hard hat on.

This episode covers what the Meiselas brothers describe as a catastrophic Wednesday for Donald Trump, focusing on the rapidly escalating war with Iran, collapsing markets, and the administration’s chaotic, inflammatory rhetoric. They break down the week’s headlines: Trump’s bellicose threats toward Iran, joint US-Saudi military strikes, the spiraling economic impact, the resurfacing of pandemic-era culture wars as a distraction, and bizarre political theater in Congress. Throughout, the brothers deliver biting commentary, vivid language, and memorable quotes, highlighting the sense of chaos and outrage they feel toward current US leadership.
Trump's Threatening Rhetoric
At the center is Trump’s aggressive language after a surprise Iranian attack on US forces in Jordan. The hosts replay multiple news clips quoting Trump (via Fox News) threatening to “blow the effing shit out of them” and “beat them the f up.”
Coverage of Attacks & Military Actions
Details of surprise Iranian missile attacks on US bases, followed by US and Saudi retaliatory strikes on Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The hosts characterize the US response as both brutal and chaotic.
Collapsing International Relations
Discussion of Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu, highlighting a strengthening alliance and upcoming meetings with right-wing figures like Pete Hegseth.
Economic Catastrophe
The discussion notes oil prices are spiking 7–10% daily, market indices are crashing, and inflation is rampant—all tied by the hosts to Trump’s foreign policy decisions.
AI as Distraction/Spin
The DoD touts new AI agents automating military operations—presented as an achievement amid war failures. The hosts mock the celebrations as misplaced, highlighting a darkly comic screenshot where a service member’s prompt reads: “I need help building an agent to create a war.” (08:44)
Skepticism of Leadership Tone & Ethics
The hosts decry the administration’s crude war rhetoric, calling it “abhorrent… like Nazis,” and voice outrage at perceived efforts to hide true casualty numbers (17:20–18:00).
Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea Chokepoints
Coverage of Iran and the Houthis implementing tolling systems to control passage, threatening vital global shipping routes; hosts predict oil could hit $125–$150/barrel (14:15).
China’s Involvement
Reports of China supplying Iran with advanced missiles, indicating further internationalization of the conflict (18:16).
Resurfacing of Pandemic-era Political Attacks
Hosts claim GOP is reviving 2020 culture wars—Fauci and “Wuhan vaccines”—to distract from the war and economic crisis.
Dr. Fauci Senate Hearing
MAGA Republicans call Fauci to testify, aiming for perjury charges. Senator Moreno curses at Fauci in a hearing for “brownie points” with the Trump White House; Laura Ingraham theatrically claims victimhood.
Distraction & Conspiracies
Hosts view these GOP moves as an attempt to create chaos, destroy global order, and enrich oligarchs while citizens are distracted and suffering (15:00–18:28).
Trump’s Language on War
(03:01): News Anchor quoting Trump:
“We are going to beat the effing s out of them. … U.S. strikes will take place against Iran in response to this surprise attack overnight against US Forces in Jordan.”
On Abhorrent Leadership Tone
(09:45): Political Commentator:
“The United States speaks like Nazis at this point. I mean the language is horrific … that's how war criminals sound. … It’s absolutely abhorrent to hear the commander in chief and leadership speak like that.”
On the Never-ending Distraction Cycle
(14:55):
“It's actually never been worse right now for at least recent modern history in the United States. So now Trump and Maga are talking about the pandemic as a way to distract from the catastrophic war and the catastrophic economy. So catastrophic war to cover up the Epstein files. Now we're going back to their conspiracies about the pandemic in order to cover up the catastrophic war, which is covering up the Epstein files."
Mockery of Political Theatre (21:09): Senator Moreno yells at Dr. Fauci in a Senate hearing:
“Who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?”
Ridiculing Economic Spin (24:16): Energy Secretary Chris Wright:
“Blue states have 50% higher electricity prices than red states. … It wasn’t our bad green policies, it was data centers that did it. Of course, it’s total nonsense…”
Throughout, the Meiselas brothers maintain their trademark blend of sharp critiques, exasperation, sarcasm, and urgency, occasionally deploying dark humor and expletives that echo the inflammatory rhetoric under discussion. They consistently call out what they see as deception, chaos, and incompetence by Trump, MAGA Republicans, and their media ecosystem, warning of mounting risks for democracy, the economy, and America’s global position.
For listeners who missed this episode, the key takeaway is a sense of alarm at the deepening war, collapsing economy, chaotic leadership, media manipulation, and the dizzying cycle of distraction and political spectacle—delivered in the brothers’ unflinching, comedic, and outraged style.
