space80@talkspace.com Donald Trump is attacking the Midas Touch Network over our coverage of his disastrous war in Iran in He's also attacking the Midas touch network. Then 24 hours of the Midas Touch Network winning Podcast of the Year for the News category in the I Heart Awards that just took place. And shout out to I Heart. We're grateful for that award. But Donald Trump and his regime kept on referring to us as dumbasses yesterday on social media. Not every day where you're called a dumbass by the White House. Something I will tell my daughter when she's older. The White House called me a dumb ass because I called out their unlawful war that has destroyed the United States of America. Let me show you what went down. So we were exposing the hypocrisy of the White House. What else is new? They lie about everything. Where they were trying to say, of course Iran poses a threat to the United States, an imminent threat. That's why we had to invade. So then we just showed a post of Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, when she previously wrote, to be clear, no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists. And it never did. To which we were called a dumbass by the official White House rapid response account. No such threat to our homeland of Iran, launching a drone offensive on our west coast. Dumb asses. So let's just rewind and let me show you what happened and what we then said to the White House and Trump in response that has since gone mega viral. But first, this ultra MAGA right wing extremist by the name of Joe Kent, who has been serving as the director of the National Counterterrorism center, he resigned from his position, objecting to Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran. He said that this war is a war of choice, that Iran did not pose any imminent threat to the United States, essentially that it is a betrayal to the MAGA movement. And while this guy, Joe Kent is certainly a right wing extremist who has said and done some of the most heinous things that we've called out, he did previously serve like in 11 combat tours. He is a husband of his wife died in Syria in 2019. A gold star husband. And amongst the kind of far right Magas, they like this guy, even though we call him out. So him saying that Donald Trump betrayed the MAGA movement and him resigning his position and he did it in a very kind of dramatic fashion. He's Tulsi Gabbard's number two. He told Tulsi he was going to resign and toast like, wait, wait, wait, just speak to J.D. vance. You got to go to the White House. So he went to the White house, he told J.D. vance that he was going to resign, handed the resignation letter. Now he's, I think going to be going on Tucker Carlson. And so he posted his resignation, that it's a betrayal of MAGA. That post went mega viral, like over 75 million views on X, formerly Twitter in a period of 24 hours. So in response, Caroline Levitt got all nervous and so she responded to Joseph Kent saying that Iran did not pose an imminent threat, that we were dragged into this war by Netanyahu and Israel, and that this will be a catastrophe for the United States of America. So Caroline Levitt says in response to Joseph Kent, she goes, there are many false claims in this letter, but let me address one specifically, that Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over. As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first. The evidence was compiled from many sources and many factors. We're not going to tell you, but many sources and many factors. So we just responded to Caroline Levitt with her own post. So Caroline Levitt a week or so ago posted the following with respect to a story by ABC that Iran was potentially going to attack the United States and potentially looking to attack the West Coast, California and la, by the way, where I live. Caroline Levitt previously wrote, this post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on unverified and intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story. Why? To be clear, no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists and it never did. So we just posted Caroline's message. So then Trump's rapid response White House team refer to us as dumbasses and they go no such threat to our homeland of Iran launching a drone offensive on our west coast. Dumbasses. The nuclear threat of the psychotic, murderous Iranian regime is very real. However, thank God we finally have a President who's doing something about it. So then we responded to Trump in his White House by saying what nuclear threat dumbasses? And all we simply did with a mic drop moment was we posted a press release from the White House dated June 25, 2025 where the White House posted Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated and suggestions otherwise are fake news. So if you completely obliterated Iran's nuclear program on June 25, 2025, you are now claiming the nuclear threat of the psychotic, murderous Iranian regime is very real. How could it be very real if you obliterated it? Because back in June, this is the problem Trump regime when you literally lie about every single thing. Also, it should be noted that the Trump regime then went on to attack Joe Kent throughout the entire day. And they said that, oh, Joe Kent is a leaker and he's disloyal and he's a bad guy and he's someone, he's the, he's now a liberal. He's. What are you, what are you talking about? But it just goes to show, Joe, Kentucky, this is what happen when you call out the cult. And if you're maga, that means you have to cover up child sex trafficking rings. Now MAGA equals you're the Epstein class, right? Trump says you're not MAGA if you, you could do all the things that Marjorie Taylor Greene did, but you're not MAGA if you say stop the child sex trafficking cover up. If you're totally maga with all of their crazy, extremist, delusional and deranged things. But you go, yeah, but doing this war in Iran where now the Strait of Hormuz is blocked and America's economy's cratering and we've lost the lives of 13 service members and Donald Trump is out there like campaigning off of it, 200 seriously injured. There's this never ending war. Oh, you call that out, you're not maga, you're exiled. And that's what Joe Kent is seeing
