What a disastrous trip this was for Donald Trump in the uk. I mean, just look at him right there. Zoom in on him. You see his face right there? What's going on with Melania? She covering her face with that ridiculous hat of hers like a flying saucer on her head. Then you had Donald Trump dressed in whatever this tuxedo is as the king of the uk King Charles tried to roll out all of this kind of pomp and circumstance in order to basically get Donald Trump to support Ukraine. And Donald Trump didn't even see what the hell was happening. Donald Trump just like being carried in a golden carriage right there. And again, look how sickly he looks in the golden carriage. Then there was this other photo right here of Trump with the royal family and Keir Star. Zoom in on his hand right there. Oh, my gosh. The hell is going on? Zoom in on the hand. You see the hand is just decomposing and rotting before our very eyes. And while Donald Trump was in the uk, there were protests in London. Shout out to all of the Midas mighty in London for showing up to those protests. Great work over there. There were protests in Windsor. The people were all over the UK not liking that their taxpayer dollars were being spent on this ridiculous charade. We. We feel you, but y' all want to take them for a little bit. Y' all want to keep them, Keep him out of here. Let's just send them to Russia. Maybe we'll just both send him to Russia together so he could be with his boy Vlad. Right, let's. Let's talk, though, for real about horrifically dangerous things Donald Trump was doing while he was in the uk. He got his FCC chairman or commissioner to basically threaten Disney, abc, and then you had the companies that carry the affiliates like Sinclair and nexstar, they basically canceled the Jimmy Kimmel show because Jimmy Kimmel spoke the truth about Charlie Kirk. What Jimmy Kimmel said wasn't even offensive. I went through the transcript of what Jimmy Kimmel said. I don't even understand what was wrong about what Jimmy Kimmel said. He was like, MAGA spent the weekend trying to convince the world that the shooter was not one of theirs. And here's what. Then he goes like, here's what Donald Trump said when he was at the White House, when he was asked how he's grieving about Charlie Kirk. Then they go play the clip. And then it was just Donald Trump asked about Charlie Kirk. And then Donald Trump's like, but do you see the ballroom I'm building? Let's talk about the ballroom. I'm done talking about Charlie Kirk. Like, that's it. Like, that's what Jimmy Kimmel said that they're saying was grounds for firing Kimmel, which is just utterly ridiculous. And now abc, Disney's permanently Suspended him. Is he fully fired, by the way? Go to our substack midas plus.com I did a whole article. I did a letter to Jimmy Kimmel and I said, jimmy, join the Midas Touch network. We've got 6 million subscribers here. You can say whatever you want to say. We actually support free speech at the Midas Touch network. Go to Midasplus.com after this video and check out the open letter I did to Jimmy Kimmel. I think it's pretty cool. But after ABC Disney announced that it was basically suspending and canceling the Jimmy Kimmel show over speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk. Donald Trump posts great news for America. The ratings challenge Jimmy Kimmel show was canceled. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has zero talent and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers on fake news NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it. NBC President DJT So now he wants Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers as well. By the way, you go and look at the history of when Putin took power. You'll see the Putin impersonators and all the comics in Russia were either killed, tortured, threatened, fled, because this is what authoritarians do. They, they, they can't handle jokes. And the issue is like we hoped that other leaders, especially where Trump's approval is in the fricking toilet bowl, it's worse now than it was during his first term. It's the worst approval in modern presidential history by far. Far. It's not even close yet. You have corporations bending the knee to this vile piece of trash act with moral clarity. You know what moral clarity is? Looking in the camera and saying, donald Trump is a piece of trash. That's moral clarity because it's true. Want me to be clearer? Want me to peel that piece of trash onion and make it clearer for you? Donald Trump is a disgusting felon, okay? He was found criminally responsible for 34 felony counts. He deserves to be in prison right now, in my opinion, not in the Oval Office turning it into some weird yellow golden bordello. Donald Trump is a sexual abuser. He is a sexual predator. He was found civilly liable for sexual assault. You know how sick of a human being he is.

He said it hurt his reputation when George Stephanopoulos of ABC used the R word to refer to what Donald Trump was found liable. When Donald Trump was found liable for using his finger, Donald Trump said, how dare you say genitals? It was my finger that I used to Sexually assault as found by a federal jury. That's what a sick, disgusting thing he is. Also, he's a bankrupter. He's bankrupted many a company over and over again. He's a lifelong loser. He's a draft. Roger, that's moral clarity. You call it out, you do it fearlessly. And if that piece of trash wants to sue me, I look forward to taking his deposition. I'm not going to even file a motion to dismiss. I'd answer. I send a deposition notice, I put him in front of me, I start putting him under oath right away. That's what you do. That's how you act with moral clarity. Consequences be damned. In this moment, people want fighters. Fighters for democracy, for empathy, for love, for community, for bringing people together. Yet our corporate media bends the knee and fires people like Jimmy Kimmel, fires great reporters. What the hell are you doing? And then Donald Trump post this while he's in the uk I'm pleased to inform our many USA Patriots that I'm designating Antifa, a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster, as a major terrorist organization. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this man. TIFA is like not a real group. Antifa is like some concept that they've made up of people who are anti fascist. Anti fascist are the bad guys to the fascists. They made up this group as you're Antifa, you're a tifa, you're a tifa. So they could come up and get annoyed at their own kind of fake enemy that they've created. Oh, and now they're going to do what? Government purges. We're not stupid. We know you want to do what Putin does. Use Antifa as your pretext to go after leftists and radicals and all the people who you are just inventing in your minds when y' all are the ones who are using the violent rhetoric and dividing our country over and over again. By the way, does everybody remember when Donald Trump said, over and over again, I've banned all government censorship and restored free speech? Oh, yeah, we've got the receipts here. Play this clip.

And I banned all government censorship and restored free speech in America. We have free speech. We didn't have free speech.

Or you remember back on January 23, 2025, when Donald Trump says, I'm pleased to report again, America is a free nation once again. And on day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. This is what These people do, right? They are the ones who are engaged in the censorship, in the fascist authoritarian conduct, but then they project out on their enemy people who want peace, people who want us, who want democracy, who want empathy and love. Here's when Donald Trump said it on January 23, 2025.

In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again. On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas.

This is the FCC chairman and commissioner Brendan Carr saying, I want to thank nexstar. And then also there was Sinclair for doing the right thing. Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel, it's important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine fall short of community values. I hope that other broadcasters follow. Next stars lead. And then he sends this meme to a reporter, Brian Stelter, when he asked FCC chair Brendan Carr if he had any comment on ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel show, he does a meme of the actors in the office raising the roof. Also behind this, just so you know, is nextar wants to merge with its rival Tegna and control all of the local affiliate stations. Nextar owns like two dozen plus ABC affiliates. Tegna owns a lot. Sinclair owns a lot. But nexstar needs approval by the Trump regime FCC of its merger with Tegna. And so do you see how this all falls in place? Also, Sinclair is demanding that Jimmy Kimmel make a donation to Charlie Kirk's family. And then maybe they'll consider bringing the show back then make a donation to Charlie Kirk's family, issue a public apology. For what? Like, Kimball didn't say anything wrong. He didn't say anything bad. He barely said anything at all about it, frankly. I went back, I was like, am I missing something that Kimmel said? Did he say something that crossed the line? No. And by the way, Charlie Kirk was not a good person when he was alive. Like, he really wasn't. And I don't know how he was with his family. And, you know, I feel bad as a dad myself. I'm. I'm heartbroken by what happened. I condemn violence. I'm heartbroken in the sense that he's got a wife and he has children, and it's that this was never the answer. Violence is never the answer. This 22 year old white kid from Utah, from a religious family, a gun toting family, a Trump supporting MAGA family that raised this Internet obsessed individual. It is heartbreaking. Condemn violence, there's no place for it. The Trump regime wants to use it as pretext to purge their political enemies. When Trump was asked about the death of Charlie Kirk, he wants to talk about the ballroom. And that's all Kimmel pointed out. Kimmel could have pointed out that Charlie Kirk has said so many anti black statements before, anti Hispanic statements, anti gay, anti lgbtq, saying the Civil Rights act was a mistake, calling for Biden to be executed. There's a litany of horrible, atrocious things that Charlie Kirk said. But Kimmel didn't bring any of that up. He just said, basically, here's what Donald Trump said. I mean, how, how ridiculous is that? So then on Fox, they're realizing Americans are, by the way, I think right and left and center, red state, purple. This is, this regime is clearly intruding on free speech, which is absolutely anathema to this guy. I mean, I don't care if you don't like Kimmel, you shouldn't be cheering on a comic getting kicked off for. I don't even think it was a joke. It was like a mild, very true statement. What are we talking about? But watch what Sean Hannity says here. Here, play this clip.

Now the left already, starting with Humpty Dumpty fake news. Cnn, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom predictably claiming this is conservative censorship. The MAGA crowd. Donald Trump got Jimmy Kimmel. That is false. I can't find a single prominent conservative voice in the country that even remotely wanted or hoped or was pushing to get Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air. Nobody. It just was simple.

People change the channel and then these sociopaths like J.D. vance go on TV. You know, he does the hand seats. There's like, you know, he's wearing the eyeliner. I mean, the guy's got so much makeup on and eyeliner. It was such a weird look. These are weird humans. Sorry. These are weird people. And then J.D. vance is like, you don't call other people Nazis, by the way. J.D. okay, sure, agreed. You're the one who called Trump Hitler. You said he's America's Hitler. That was your quote. That was you. That was you who did it. JD Here, play this clip. This rhetoric is completely out of control and it's part of this entire network of violence that exists on the far left. I want to bring it back to a Democratic Congressmember. Jim McGovern said here on the floor, because I thought this was a particularly powerful speech. Let's play it.
- [16:16]
Congressman Jim McGovern
Mr. Speaker, I just had the general lady that that's a lot of words to justify the biggest tax increase on the American people, on average of $2,300 a year more because of these tariffs. But I would, I would just say that the general lady as well, that if you think that this, these policies are great, if you want, you want these tariffs to continue, then you shouldn't be afraid to vote for them, have a debate on the floor and let people vote up or down on them. I don't understand why that is such a controversial thing to want to advocate for, especially in the House of Representatives where we're supposed to be able to debate important issues. And that's all people. You know, if you have the votes, if a lot of everybody thinks it's a great policy, then they'll vote yes. And, and they, and they continue. But I'm glad the gentle lady brought up the economy because I want to speak about the economy just for a couple of minutes here. Mr. Speaker, the consequences of Trump's economic policy are being felt in communities across the country. Prices on fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry and dairy are all up and they're likely to climb even higher as Trump's tariffs ripple through the supply chain. President Trump and Republicans promised to reduce grocery prices. Instead, grocery prices spiked at the fastest pace in three years last month. They promised to cut electricity prices in half. Instead, August electricity prices were over 6% higher than they were a year ago. They promised to reduce inflation. Instead, we saw the largest monthly increase in inflation since January. They promised to create jobs. And instead, for the first time in nearly four years, the economy lost jobs in June. We lost jobs in June. And job growth has been stagnant for months. Mr. Speaker, the Trump economy is not working for the American people. But do you know who it is working for, Mr. Speaker? The millionaires and the billionaires who contributed to his campaign.

And finally, as a reminder, I've done a lot of videos on this, but that FBI Cash Patel hearing in the House of Representatives was something else. I mean, Cash Patel, as he was being cross examined by Democrats about his cover up of Donald Trump's dark past. He wouldn't even say how many times Trump was on the Epstein files. He said that Epstein was like a lone wolf. He wouldn't answer basic questions about did you tell Pam Bondi or Trump that they were on, that he was on the list? What were your conversations it was humiliating to watch and then to watch the Republicans block all of the subpoenas that went out that could have gone out to get information on Epstein. Block it for Donald Trump because Trump says if you don't. This is a direct quote for Trump. A direct quote. If you don't basically block all of the Epstein stuff. If you don't block it, it's a hostile act. That's what the regime put out. It's a hostile act to find out what happened to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and who else. Which other rich men, oligarchs out there are out there being predators. Anyway, here's this part where Congressmember Swalwell Cross examined Cash Patel. Here, play this clip.
- [19:35]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
You said you don't know the number of times Trump's name appears in the files. So it could at least be a thousand times. Is that right?
- [19:43]
FBI Director Chris Wray
The number is a total misleading factor. We have not released anyone's. We have not released anyone's name in the Epstein files that has not been credible. Director. Every piece of legally permissible information.
- [19:56]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Okay?
- [19:57]
FBI Director Chris Wray
You can characterize the numbers however you want it.
- [19:59]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Claiming my time, Director. It sounds like if you don't know the number, it could at least be a thousand times. It's not.
- [20:05]
FBI Director Chris Wray
It's not.
- [20:06]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Is it at least 500 times?
- [20:07]
FBI Director Chris Wray
No.
- [20:07]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Is it at least 100 times?
- [20:09]
FBI Director Chris Wray
No.
- [20:09]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Then what's the number?
- [20:10]
FBI Director Chris Wray
I don't know the number, but it's not that.
- [20:12]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Do you think it might be your job to know the number?
- [20:14]
FBI Director Chris Wray
My job is to provide for the safety and security of this country. My job is not to engage in political innuendo so you can go out to the sticks and get your 22nd hit and your fundraising order. Keep going. Reclaiming your time because the people of California are being underserved by your representation Is not implicated.
- [20:32]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Why not release everything that involves.
- [20:34]
FBI Director Chris Wray
We have released everything. The President and anyone else's side that is credible and lawfully be able to be released. Your fixation on this matter and baseless accusations that I'm hiding house pedophiles is disgusting. Anyone that says that needs to look at the stats alone. And go back to the state of California who's receiving the biggest surge in FBI resources through my redeployment because the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.
- [20:59]
Congressman Eric Swalwell
Director, remembering your oath to tell the truth, did you ever tell Donald Trump his name is in the files?
- [21:05]
FBI Director Chris Wray
I have never spoken to President Trump about the Epstein files.
