Episode Overview

This episode centers on the escalating crisis in the Middle East involving Donald Trump’s claims about negotiations with Iran, U.S. military losses, and broader U.S. foreign policy failures. The MeidasTouch team, with analysis primarily by Ron Filipkowski, breaks down Trump’s current narrative while dissecting ongoing news about Yemen’s Houthis, Iranian leverage, military equipment losses, nuclear deals, the Abraham Accords, and potential collusion with Russia and China. The episode also highlights Trump’s misinformation, contradictory claims, and their impact on U.S. global standing.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s False Claims on Iran Negotiations and Refineries

• Ron Filipkowski outlines Trump falsely claiming Iran is "begging" for a deal, while in reality, Iran openly refuses talks and controls the narrative on Omani channels ([03:56]).
• The Houthis, part of Iran's “axis of resistance,” are actively striking Saudi oil refineries and U.S. bases in the Gulf ([03:56]-[06:21]).
• Notable Quote:

  “Trump aboard Air Force One. He’s like, ‘Iran took a beating over the past 14 days... They begged us and they said very nicely, please stop.’ Everything Trump says is an absolute lie.” — Ron Filipkowski ([06:36])

2. Trump Makes Up Numbers and Boasts U.S. Strength

• Trump exaggerates Iran’s losses, claiming their military is now “8% of what it was four months ago” ([08:54]).
• Filipkowski points out Trump’s history of inflating/deflating numbers for self-benefit, paralleling his past civil and criminal liabilities ([08:04]).
• Notable Quotes:

  “If you look at IRAN now, they’re 8% of what they were four months ago. They’re 8% of what they were months ago. So we’ll see how this all comes out.” — Donald Trump ([08:54])
  "He just makes up percentage numbers...it just makes us weaker and more pathetic." — Ron Filipkowski ([08:04])

3. Military Spending, Stockpiles & Blame Shifting

• Trump insists destroyed U.S. equipment will be paid for with “Iran’s money,” using Iranian assets under U.S. control, echoing past diplomatic blunders ([09:21], [09:57]).
• When asked about depleted munitions stockpiles, Trump blames Biden and Ukraine, despite initiating the current conflict ([10:09]-[11:02]).
• Even the MAGA base is reportedly growing skeptical of Trump’s shifting narratives.
• Notable Quote:

  "It’s Biden’s fault. Ukraine, Zelinsky...Even the MAGA people are like this. Here, play this clip." — Ron Filipkowski ([10:09])

4. Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia and The Abraham Accords

• Trump claims a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is tied to them joining the Abraham Accords, but later says there hasn’t been any discussion with Saudi Arabia about these accords ([15:02]-[15:12]).
• Filipkowski dismisses the feasibility of this condition, given Saudi and regional politics ([13:34]-[15:12]).
• Notable Quote:

  “We haven’t talked about that.” — Donald Trump on Saudi Arabia and the Abraham Accords ([15:09])

5. Questionable War Earnings & Lashing Out at Reporters

• Questions arise regarding the whereabouts of $13 billion purportedly received from Venezuelan oil during the conflict ([15:51]-[16:37]).
• Trump evades direct answers on fiscal accountability and instead attacks the reporter:

  “What a stupid question.” ([17:13])

• Filipkowski calls out Trump’s lack of transparency and ad hominem attacks.

6. Alleged Russian & Chinese Aid to Iran

• Discussion of allegations that Russia is providing satellite imagery of U.S. bases to Iran for targeting, which Trump dismisses and says he’ll “ask Putin about it” ([17:41]-[18:55]).
• Filipkowski reinforces that both Russia and China are overtly aiding Iran, citing global instability and the rising security influence of China in the Middle East ([18:37]).

7. US & China Semiconductor and AI Rivalry

• The administration is accused of enabling China’s theft of U.S. AI and semiconductor technology; Trump shrugs it off, saying both sides spy and steal from each other ([19:34]-[21:15]).
• Filipkowski alleges Trump is actively handing classified technology to the UAE and China ([20:59]).
• Notable Quote:

  “Well, you know, they’re looking at us and we’re looking at them, but we’re leading now China substantially in AI and we’re going to keep it that way.” — Donald Trump ([21:15])

8. Economic Spin & Air Force One Scandal

• Trump claims the U.S. economy is doing better than ever and inflation is dropping, attributing any interest rate hikes to political machinations within the Federal Reserve ([21:29]-[22:40]).
• Closing note from Filipkowski: NYT finds nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money spent retrofitting Air Force One, yet it remains unsafe — a testament to Trump’s alleged mismanagement and corruption ([22:40]).

[Ron Filipkowski]

Donald Trump is crashing out aboard Air Force One right now as Iran makes it clear that it is not negotiating with him, that any statements from Donald Trump saying there are negotiations or that they're productive are absolutely false. Donald Trump's there on Air Force One saying Iran's begging us for a deal. He's doing the same thing over and over again. This again, as we know that the Houthis in Yemen who are part of Iran's access of resistance has been striking hard. These refineries in Saudi Arabia, they knocked out a refinery in Yanbu. They knocked out a refinery in Jazan. They not, they knocked out a refinery in Abkak. I mean, they are just hitting these refineries one after the other. We know about all the losses of U.S. equipment in the refinery region, U.S. bases being destroyed, U.S. munitions are depleted. Iran's out there with statements right now. Any blockade by the United States equals escalation. We're never going to open up the Strait of Hormuz unless it's under our control. Iran says, look, we're speaking with Oman right now, not with Trump. We're speaking with Oman about Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. So get anything that Trump says is a lie if he's not saying what we're saying right here. Also on the Iranian podcasts here's what they're saying. Just so you understand and have a perspective of, like, what they're saying in Iran. $21 billion in US losses in the last two weeks of all the bases and equipment. So why did the US Back down to Iran again? This is what they're saying in Iran. Many reasons are cited for the US Once again pulling back from attacks on Iran, from the rise of U.S. treasury bond yields above 5 to oil prices surpassing a hundred dollars a barrel. And as you see, Trump and his regime manipulate the markets and oil prices today, and you see what they're saying in Iran, I mean, you can judge for yourself right now. So Trump aboard Air Force One. He's like, Iran took a beating over the past 14 days. They've been hit so hard. They begged us and they said very nicely, please stop, please stop. Here's what Trump said. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

Well, Iran took a beating over the last 14 days, and they asked us very nicely, please stop. Let's meet. And that's what we are right now. See what happens if we don't make a deal. We go back to the same thing then.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Donald Trump is asked if he's frustrated by Pete Hegseth saying that Iran is obliterated when they weren't and saying that this was going to be easy for the United States to win when the US Lost him. Donald Trump's like, no, Hegseth's doing a great job. Look, Iran's destroyed. He said. You look at their coast, they're obliterated. And they're begging us for a meeting. They begged us to meet again. Everything Trump says is an absolute lie. And it's just so embarrassing for our country that this is the president of the United States behaving like this.

[Reporter]

Here, play this clip on the Iran war. Have you been frustrated with Secretary Hegseth because of the advice he gave you early on in the war and how it's turned out?

[Donald Trump]

I think he's done a great job. We've pretty much destroyed their military. They want to meet and we're meeting. We'll see what happens. There's a chance we could make a deal without what we did. They wouldn't even be talking to us. They requested a meeting through their surrogates and directly and we're meeting. And, you know, good things can happen, I guess. Oil dropped very big today. Stock markets as of about an hour ago was like through the roof. But no, they requested a meeting. They would not have requested the meeting if we were doing poorly. The only reason they want to meet is because we've been hitting them very hard. Yeah. How much patience do you have left with the concert? I have plenty of time.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then Trump's. He just makes up numbers. He's like, right Now, Iran's military is 8% of what it was four months ago, 8%. Just making a percentage. Now he just makes up percentage numbers. And remember, Trump was found civilly liable. He was also separately found criminally liable for business records, but on the civil front for just making up numbers. That's what he was found liable for. He would downplay numbers or he would inflate numbers. However, it benefited him to the tune of, like, billions and billions of dollars. And he's just doing it now with the United States of America, and it just makes us weaker and more pathetic. And as I talked about earlier, and I did a video on this, it just means that China is now providing the new security umbrella in the Middle east because America is not reliable or predictable. The downfall of America before our eyes. Here, play this clip.

[Donald Trump]

And if you look at IRAN now, they're. They're 8% of what they were four months ago. They're 8% of what they were months ago. So we'll see how this all comes out.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then Donald Trump's like, and don't worry about any of the damages or the money being spent. Trump's like, we're going to use Iran's money to pay for the damage that they did. You're going to use Iran's money?

[Donald Trump]

What?

[Ron Filipkowski]

What are you even talking about? Remember with the Memorandum of Understanding when he was like, iran has agreed to buy our farmers produce and they're going to buy corn. And Iran's like, what are you. We're not buying corn. What are you talking about? What a weird lie. And he's doing a version of that right now because tens of billions of dollars in our equipment has been destroyed right now. Here, play this clip.

[Interviewer]

You said that Iranian assets will be used to pay for damages to ships that are hit in the Strait of Province. Would the US Pay shipping companies directly?

[Reporter]

No.

[Donald Trump]

No. We're going to use Iran's money to pay for the damage they did. In other words, the Iran money that we control will be used to damages. Sound good? Not bad, right?

[Ron Filipkowski]

And then he's asked, are you concerned about the depleted stockpiles of munitions if there's a broader conflict? And what does Trump do? Blames Biden. This is Biden's fault. Biden depleted the stockpiles. Ukraine, Zelinsky, Biden. This is what Trump. I mean, What a loser. And here we are, July 27, 2026. We're getting into two years of this disgusting regime. He started this war, okay, this never ending war. He depleted the stockpiles and then blames Biden. How utterly pathetic. And here's the thing, the MAGA folks know this too now, like he's losing the MAGA base because they're like, dude, what are you talking about? Enough of. Even the MAGA people are like this. Here, play this clip.

[Interviewer]

Are you concerned about heated stockpiles if there is a broadening conflict tonight?

[Donald Trump]

We have plenty. We have a lot of ammunition, different types. You know, Biden gave a lot to Ukraine and so we're building that up. But we have a lot. We have a lot of the mid level stuff too. I mean, more than we could ever use no matter what, but we have a lot. I'd like to have more, to be honest, but so much was given to Ukraine by Biden. When I left, the cupboards were full. When I came here with Obama, he didn't buy ammunition. We had very little. And I got it built. Now as soon as I left, they gave a lot of it to Ukraine. I mean, numbers that nobody's ever seen before. So we're building it very rapidly. Plants are being built, a lot of equipment's being built. The patriots in particular are being built. The VAT system is going up. We have a lot. Every one of our contractors is building four to five plants right now and we're in very good shape. But for some of the more sophisticated stuff, we'd certainly like that more. Biden gave a lot of it away.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then Trump is asked, so you know, you announced last week that there was a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. Then you change the terms of the nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia and said that they need to become allies with Israel and join the Abraham Accords. By the way, this is me saying this now. Saudi Arabia is never going to join the Abraham Accords unless Palestine is recognized as a state, as a country and there's a two state solution and Israel stops the genocide. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be toppled if they did the Abraham Accord. So we know that. I mean, and by the way, Trump recycles the same stupid lies over and over and over again. The same schemes and stunts. He recycles it. I mean, do you remember before the Memorandum of Understanding, a month and a half or two months ago, Trump said, I'll only enter the MoU if Saudi Arabia and Turkey and some other Arab name Pakistan, like, join the Abraham Accords. And they're like, no, we're not doing that. So no. And then Trump entered the MoU and then proceeded to violate the MOU immediately. Anyway, here's Trump saying, we haven't even talked to Saudi Arabia about the Abraham Accords. What do you mean you haven't talked about it? You announced a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, then said it was contingent on the Abraham Accords. And then you don't talk to them about the Abraham Accords. Does that make sense to anybody? I mean, setting aside your political views, does that make sense to you? Play this clip.

[Interviewer]

Saudi Arabia, have you gotten any indications from Saudi Arabia when it comes to the Abraham Accords, they will sign on.

[Donald Trump]

We haven't talked about that.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then a reporter asked Donald Trump, so where's the $13 billion that we took from Venezuelan oil? Where is that? Because it ain't helping the American people, like physically. Where is it? It's not in our treasury. Do you have it? Is it in a Trump account? Where's, where the hell is the money? And Donald Trump's like, it's actually more than $13 billion and it's going to the Country. It's helping them run the country. Where the hell is the money, Donald? Where the hell is the money? You felon and you sexual predator, you. Here, play this clip.

[Interviewer]

The United States has taken in $13 billion from Venezuela. Where is that money going?

[Donald Trump]

13 billion from Venezuela. I think even more than that. No, Venezuela, we paid for that war many times, so. And that'll happen. Iran also. We paid for the war many times, though.

[Interviewer]

But where is that money going?

[Donald Trump]

No other president can say that for a long time. Okay, when was the last president that could say that? So we had a cost of Venezuela. We paid for it many, many times over. And now, as you know, we have a very good relationship with Venezuela.

[Interviewer]

But where is the money going?

[Donald Trump]

What, running the country?

[Reporter]

No, in the U.S. the money that

[Interviewer]

the U.S. is taking in, where is that money going?

[Donald Trump]

Yes, but running the. It can go to the military. Congress has to approve it. Congress doesn't like approving money for the military. They like giving it to things that shouldn't be done. But we're taking in a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela. That'll happen with Iran, too.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then Donald Trump goes on to attack the reporter and said he got asked a stupid question. Let's play it.

[Donald Trump]

So we'll see how this all comes

[Reporter]

out on the Senate on the same act. Why do you want the US Senate to town? Shouldn't they be out across the country?

[Donald Trump]

What a stupid question.

[Reporter]

Should they be out and be campaigning, though?

[Donald Trump]

What a stupid question for Jennifer. And as such a stupid. She's a smart person. I knew her all the way back in the Iowa days when she said, trump's gonna win, and boy, was she right. So listen, why do I want the save act has to be done. They shouldn't.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Next, a reporter says, well, Zelinsky has told everybody that Russia is providing its satellite imagery and surveillance to

[Goldbelly Advertiser]

Iran.

[Ron Filipkowski]

What do you make of it? And then Donald Trump's like, I'll ask Putin about it. I don't think they've been doing it. Certainly not at a high level. Let me be very clear. The question has a false premise, though, in one sense. Is Russia providing Iran with surveillance. Yeah, but we can see the surveillance. Yeah, we can. We, you, me, we can look at the Chinese surveillance, which we do here on the Midas Touch network. We can look at the Sentinel to surveillance. We can. So, no, what Russia is doing and what China is actually doing beyond the surveillance itself is they're providing a lot of the logistics. I mean, they're allied and they're public about it, too. And one of the main reasons why Trump hasn't done the massive escalation, as I told you earlier, is that Xi Jinping said there would be World War 3, that China would get fully involved on the side of Iran.

[Goldbelly Advertiser]

Iran.

[Ron Filipkowski]

If Trump started bombing Iranian power plants and bridges. Here, play this clip Zelensky.

[Reporter]

President Zelensky says. Zelensky says that Russia is giving Iran satellite imagery of US Bases in the Gulf to help them target. What can you do about that?

[Donald Trump]

Well, we'll find out about soon. I'll ask Putin about it. We'll find out. Hasn't had much impact because we've not the hell out of it. Would you think if that's the case? Look, you know, they gave Venezuela a lot of equipment. Venezuela had all Russian equipment. How did that work out? Not too good. So they may be giving, but if they are, it hasn't worked out because they have no army, they have no air force, they have no navy, they have no nothing. So it hasn't worked out. Well, I don't think. I don't think they've been doing it. Certainly not at a high level. And if they have, it has been very unimpactful.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Next, Donald Trump is asked, hey, so Treasury Secretary Besant said that they're looking at China distilling US AI to make Chinese AI models, taking American IP and distilling it for their AI models. What do you think about that? Because Besson says that this is a big issue, that China is basically ripping off or stealing the US Semiconductor industry and the AI models. And then Trump's like, I don't care if they really do that. I mean, we do that to them. They should do that. We all understand we're all doing this to each other. The thing is, like, Trump is giving the Blackwell semiconductor chip and our classified information to the UAE and to China also. I mean, that's what. When Trump met with Xi Jinping, he was giving him our classified semiconductor technology. And then they were like, oh, well. Well, it's not the most powerful one. It's the second most powerful one. Well, there's a reason why it was classified before and they were not allowed to have it. And there were export controls and licensing procedures. And now you're giving the black. You're giving the main one, the most highly classified, to the uae. Who's gonna give it to China? Like, there's not only is there no strategic thinking, it's just this guy's an idiot and he's a psycho and he loves Xi Jinping. And he loves Putin and he loves, and he hates America. I mean, he hates our troops. He hates our country. He does, I mean, everything he does, every is to harm our country.

[Donald Trump]

Let's play any other question on China.

[Interviewer]

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett said last week the administration is going to look into whether Chinese AI models are distilling from US Models. Do you think China's stealing American?

[Donald Trump]

Well, you know, they're looking at us and we're looking at them, but we're leading now China substantially in AI and we're going to keep it that way. We're leading everybody and everything. We have a country, country that's doing well. Thank you very much, everybody. See you in Michigan.

[Interviewer]

Thank you.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Then Donald Trump says, but look, costs are going down rapidly and things are fantastic. Things have never been better. And then he's asked, well, what about Kevin Warsh, the chairman of the Federal Reserve right now talking about how they may need to raise interest rates? Ah, it's political. That's just political. People, let's play this.

[Donald Trump]

Clips are going down rapidly. Don't forget I inherited the, I haven't been here very long. I inherited the worst, worst inflation in history from Biden. But costs are going down rapidly. And as soon as the war is over, you're going to have, you're going to see a big drought.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Are you worried that the Fed's going to hike rates to counter inflation?

[Donald Trump]

And Kevin's fantastic, but he's got a board and the board members are very political. I would say so. You know, we fight our way through the race because we're doing so well. But no, he's got a board. He wants to do the right thing. I know what he wants to do. You need the consent of some people that have perhaps bad intentions. Race should be lowered. This country could be at 8%, 9%, 10%, 12%.

[Ron Filipkowski]

Oh, and I should mention, as Donald Trump is aboard Air Force One, the latest New York Times investigation found that Trump spent more than the $400 million of taxpayer money, as Amy Siskin said, that the regime publicly disclosed on retrofitting his new Air Force One, which ultimately was not safe enough to fly in recent weeks. It's probably closer to a billion dollars in taxpayer money as he loots our country. There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
