with our Congress, meet with MAGA Republican Congress members, and meet with the State Department. And they went back to Russia saying that they got massive economic concessions, they're out There in the United States, they're doing it in plain view. And everybody out there in corporate news is acting like this is normal or

they just don't wanna say it.

Political Analyst (9:14)

But Donald Trump is a Putin bootlicker. We're gonna say it here and we can show you exactly.

Political Commentator (9:18)

He's helping Putin right now, in my

Political Analyst (9:20)

opinion, because we can see all the data points that I'm just showing you. And Putin's helping Iran kill Americans and target American military bases.

Political Commentator (9:27)

So that's what Donald Trump's saying. He goes, iran is weak.

Political Analyst (9:30)

They have no capabilities.

Well, here's another wave of Iranian missiles and drones in an industrial base near Beersheva in Israel. They struck a major industrial base there. In the video I did this morning, I showed you Iran strike in the city of Erbil, right by the U.S. consulate and Military base there. And as I mentioned earlier in this video, Iran continues to strike American military assets in the area. Donald Trump's also posting this. Dear President Trump, a letter from Franklin Graham. Congratulations. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the hostages being returned home are incredible accomplishments. Your leadership is historic. First off, there was never a real ceasefire in Gaza. Let's be very clear. Over a thousand innocent people have died in Gaza since the ceasefire was claimed. It was never real. And that's what you're talking about now. While you've gotten the world basically in a world war, right now, you're putting those letters up. What in the world are you doing? Meanwhile, you have the Iranian embassies making posts like this. The pedophiles are bombing Iran and they were showing other. They were doing other posts like this. By the way, Pope Leo has chimed in. Pope Leo says God rejects prayers of leaders who wage war. I think that's obviously being directed at the Trump regime right there. Pope Leah and JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism. Pope Leo said God rejects the prayers of leaders, leaders who start war, who have blood on their hands, in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran war entered its second month. It's actually not that unusual. It's how USA Today's putting it. If people know Pope Leo xiv, he goes out and he says what's on his mind, addressing tens of thousands in St Petersburg Square on Palm Sunday, the celebration that opens the Holy week leading up to Easter for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. The Pope called the conflict atrocious and says Jesus cannot be used to justify any wars. Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying, even though you make many prayers, I will not Listen, your hands are full of blood, he said, citing a Bible passage. And what's so interesting about that story is that it's getting so little coverage from right wing media center, so called center media and left wing media is covering it. But very minimal of the coverage of what Pope Leo is saying there is being covered by right wing media. It's an interesting analysis that I like to do before I record my videos in the morning because depending on where you get your news from, you may be getting really distorted views. That's why I try to give you fact, fact, fact here on the Midas Touch network and understand the origins of these stories. It's why I partner with Ground News and why I get my news from Ground News every morning before I prepare for my videos like this one right here. Because they're one of the best tools, the best tool I would say for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is an app and a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how is the left, center and right framing the story differently. For every story there's a color coded layout which makes it easier easy to see the political bias of each source. I can filter for high factuality sources and see which sources are independent, owned or owned by a large media conglomerate with corporate interests. This lets you compare reporting on the same issue in one place so you can come to your own conclusions based on all of the facts. So the article I just showed you about the Pope, you can see how little coverage it was getting from right wing media. And if you're getting your news from right wing media, you could have missed this entire story completely. That's why Ground News even has a dedicated blind spot feed which is a personal favorite of mine which highlights stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle for you to help burst through political echo chambers. Because I believe in Ground News so much, we're offering 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research every morning.

I it's important to Note that the 30 year treasury yield closed at 4.98%, getting very close to the highest level since the run up to the global financial crisis. We've been very focused here on the 2 year, 10 year, 20 year, 30 year treasury yields which continue to surge. Ultimately that will increase the interest that the federal government is going to have to pay on the majority of massive amounts of debt that it has incurred. Two weeks ago, $39 trillion of debt. The debt just keeps on rising under Donald Trump and it's going to continue to rise. I mean he's put more debt on this country than anyone by, by, by far. And often these high yield rates result in mortgage rates that are impossible to basically afford. And it's just crushing at every level today, businesses to consumers.

Um, but if you watch state regime

media, which calls itself Fox, they've been running stories like this today. Tackling gas prices. Donald Trump focused on bringing down the gas prices as Aaron Rupar says. So the arsonist is tackling the fires. Got it. On the Maria Bartaroba State Regime show this morning, they brought on MAGA Republican Congresswoman McClain and, and they're talking about how these MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump were refusing to pay TSA agents and causing mass disruption in our airports. Then Donald Trump said, well, I'm gonna do it by an executive order and that's how I'm gonna pay the TSA agents. Which is like, well, if you could do that, why didn't you do that weeks ago? Cuz you wanted to cause this pain and suffering. And then the Senate on a bipartisan basis put forward legislation to fund the tsa. So it was done the right way. You know, bills becoming laws, not by executive orders. They, and then the House of Representative blocked it.

Then they all went on vacation for two weeks. And they're all vacationing right now. They're all vacationing right now. Right now. While we're in a war, while Donald Trump's in this unlawful war that Congress refused to utilize its Article 1 authority. They're taking a vacation. Maga Mike said, See you later everybody. We're on recess. We're out there partying while the American people are suffering, while our troops are

being put into harm. Watch what she says. Here, play this, Clint.

Interviewer (16:25)

I've got to tell you, Congresswoman, I mean some people out there look at this situation and they don't understand. They know that the Republicans are in charge. You are running the House, you are running the Senate, you are running the White House. And yet we have These fights. And it's obvious that you can't get on the same page. And it seems like Democrats are still winning.

Congresswoman McClain (16:44)

Yep, it's extremely frustrating. And that's why we passed a bill for the fourth time to make sure that we pay it, pay our Department of Homeland Security agents and the whole department. But this is a border fight. The radical Democrats want open borders. And as you know, it takes 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done. We need some common sense Democrats to come along with us.

Political Commentator (17:08)

Then you have MAGA Republican Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. He's like, you know, it's so devious about the left wing with. What's so devious about them is that they intentionally got two of their own martyred by ice. Martyred by ice, as he meta says. It's disgusting for any Republicans. Say we got two martyrs as if we were hoping for ICE to kill individuals who are peacefully protesting.

Political Analyst (17:37)

I mean, these Republicans are sickos, right? These are some sicko humans got us into unlawful war. They cover up the Epstein files. These are some sickos.

Political Commentator (17:46)

Here, play this clip.

Political Commentator (17:47)

But here's what they even, even more deviously, they trained activists to obstruct justice, encourage them to put themselves in harm's way, knowing they could get harmed. They got two martyrs. And then they're using those martyrs as their excuse to try and defund law enforcement, to defund the very agencies that are designed to clean up the mess they created. That's what we're dealing with. That's who Democrats are. Republicans need to get united and we need to make sure that we blame Democrats because that is where the fault lies.

Now, before running the article that I shared with you earlier, the Tehran Times previous front cover was the following schools to hospitals. A trail of US Israeli war crimes was their front page. And they continued to post photos of individuals who were killed, children who were killed in this disastrous war. I mean, I reported on this yesterday, but I think it deserves a lot of attention. I mean, we've talked about the elementary school where the United States killed 165 children, little girls at the, at the, at the school. We talked about the den of that ship. BBC Verify says that footage and expert analysis also indicates a US precision strike missile was likely used in the March 9 strike on a sports hall in La Merd, Iran, where children were training, killing at least 21 people, including young girls. High resolution satellite imagery reviewed by the BBC shows the sports hall and nearby residential buildings being destroyed, while the adjacent IRGC compound appears to have remained undamaged. In other words, the US Destroyed the gym where children were playing and kept the IRGC military compound. The drop site had an earlier report on this as well, that a missile tore through a civilian gym packed with students during training sessions, triggering panic, collapsing debris and continuous screaming as injured children were pulled from the rubble. Eyewitnesses described parents arriving to find bodies of teenage girls and young children killed instantly, others buried under contract concrete. Both BBC and drop site work. We're covering this and I want to give, I want to give that attention as well. This is where we're at right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way here on the Midas Touch Network.
