Tuesday Afternoon Breaking News Updates with Ben - 4/14/26

0:00Welcome to Ben on Breaking News.
0:02I'm Ben Micellis, and this is your Breaking News.
0:06You have Donald Trump saying that he expects there to be additional negotiations with Iran
0:12fairly soon. He says that they'd likely take place in Pakistan.
0:16Again, from all reports, we're hearing that the Trump regime is accepting the idea that
0:23Iran will get to enrich uranium.
0:26It's just a matter of when they will get to enrich uranium again.
0:30Apparently, the Trump regime is okay with a 20 -year period where Iran can enrich
0:36uranium. Iran is saying that they want to be able to enrich uranium in about
0:41five years. But notably, I don't even think the Trump regime is talking anymore about
0:47any of these other terms.
0:48I think they've basically accepted Iran's control over its stockpile of ballistic missiles, of the
0:57Shahid drones, of the FPV drones.
1:01In some sort or fashion, Iran will now control the Strait of Hormuz.
1:06All the Trump regime is saying is that they want to be able to control
1:11it on a joint venture basis with Iran as well.
1:16So I think recognizing that this Iranian regime will have a lot more power, Iran
1:22is saying that they need $260 billion in reparations right now from the Arab neighbor
1:32nations. And they're expecting that that take place as well.
1:36There were some ideas being floated around about negotiations taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
1:44or Geneva. And Iran said, absolutely not.
1:46If we do another round, it's going to be taking place in Pakistan, which Trump
1:51assented to basically right away.
1:54And so I think when we talk about this kind of total capitulation, if you
1:58will, by the Trump regime to the demands of Iran, that seems to be where
2:04this is headed. I think you can contextualize it with how Donald Trump dealt with
2:10Kim Jong -un of North Korea.
2:11And I just think we shouldn't forget, right, that Kim Jong -un right now of
2:16North Korea has nukes. Trump allowed him to get nuclear weapons.
2:20I'm not sure if he even knew this, but Kim Jong -un has been doing
2:24missile tests pretty much every day for the past several months.
2:29And big missile tests took place over the past 24 to 48 hours as he
2:34brags about having nukes. We are a nuclear power in North Korea.
2:38The world understands that. Kim Jong -un says that.
2:41And he's also bringing up his daughter and his family as the next wave of
2:46leadership there in North Korea.
2:47I just reflect on former President Obama's presidency, where it was viewed as the ultimate
2:54sign of weakness, right, as how the media reported things.
2:59Anytime Kim Jong -un would do a missile test, how can Obama let a missile
3:04test happen? How dare he let a missile test happen?
3:07Or you remember under Biden administration, there were weather balloons overhead.
3:13And it was like, you're letting Chinese weather balloons get near the United States.
3:17Then it turned out that these weather balloons frequently took place under the first Trump
3:22administration. And the Trump regime then just basically ignored it and covered it up and
3:27pretended it wasn't happening. But Biden was transparent and actually took action against it.
3:31And so, you know, what did Donald Trump do to Kim Jong -un, right?
3:34What was the what would the great deal maker do?
3:37Kim Jong -un got nuclear weapons.
3:40Kim Jong -un got everything he wanted.
3:43And now he just does ballistic missile tests and is stronger than ever.
3:47And Donald Trump got love letters from Kim Jong -un and totally and totally played.
3:51That was the excursion there.
3:53And now the media doesn't even talk about it, right?
3:55When Kim Jong -un does ballistic missile tests, it's not even like really even discussed
3:58or talked about. So it seems where Donald Trump is landing this ship, if you
4:02will, if you want to call it landing or crashing this plane, if you will,
4:07is, you know, Iran now emerges as a world power, right?
4:14Iran stronger than ever right now.
4:16They, in some form or fashion, control the Strait of Hormuz.
4:21And all of the neighbors realize that at any point in time, if Iran views
4:29their conduct as falling out of line, Iran can just close the Strait of Hormuz.
4:34And through proxy groups like the Houthis, Iran also controls the Red Sea and the
4:40Strait right there over there.
4:42But just haven't even decided to use that card yet.
4:46They've been waiting to see what the Trump regime does at this point.
4:49China, more powerful than ever.
4:51China swoops in, always been allied with Iran as the major player right now in
4:57the Middle East, right? That's what's happening.
4:59I mean, just look at what's taking place.
5:01And again, this is where our media here in the United States is an utter
5:04failure. But, like, you do realize that right now the crown prince of Abu Dhabi
5:10is meeting with... Xi Jinping, like as we speak.
5:14And you also have Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister of Spain, meeting with Xi Jinping
5:19right now in Beijing, because it is very clear as the United States has lost
5:27its hegemony, lost its power, as the United States security umbrella in the Middle East
5:33has collapsed, the new main player in that region is Iran, China, and Russia to
5:40a large degree as well.
5:41And also now what you're seeing is, well, like, what do we do with the
5:45US security umbrella, you know, crumbling under the Trump regime?
5:51Well, you have France and the UK proposing a coalition that doesn't include the United
5:56States, the way they describe it, that doesn't include the warring parties.
6:01And they are forming an alliance to try to deal with bringing stability and security
6:09back right now, in their own way, in a defensive posture to the Middle East,
6:14you have a lot of these Arab nations that were once allied with the United
6:18States, whether it's Saudi Arabia, whether it's Jordan, whether it's Qatar, whether it's Abu Dhabi
6:24United Arab Emirates, whether it's Bahrain, whether it's Iraq, you know, whether it's any of
6:30these, you know, Kuwait, they've been forming and making deals with Ukraine.
6:35Just think about that as Donald Trump has threatened and attacked and gone after Zelensky.
6:40Zelensky has the best understanding of 2026 modern warfare because of defending valiantly and also
6:50going on the offense against Russia.
6:53I mean, Ukraine has all of the unmanned vessel defense that it utilizes in and
7:00around its territorial waters and nearby.
7:03It has the top drone technology, the drone interceptors, the wherewithal about how you go
7:11about intercepting the Shahids and the FPV drones, you know, how you go about either
7:19utilizing drone jammers or evading drone jammers through various technologies.
7:28I mean, if you look at some Ukrainian towns and cities, they have netting all
7:33over them because of the threat of these drones.
7:36And so you have, you know, interesting defensive techniques.
7:40So nations are going to Ukraine in order to learn information and Ukraine's out there
7:47striking deals in the Middle East to rebuild the security umbrella.
7:52You know, what's the expression that, you know, in the absence of, you know, a
8:00power, whether it's the U .S.
8:02or otherwise, you know, there are things that come in to fill that void, right?
8:06It's not like, you know, the U .S.
8:08strategy of so -called America first is now America alone.
8:13I did a video on it this morning talking about just the weakened position that
8:16the U .S. is in.
8:17I mean, just think about it.
8:18You have Iranian social media accounts making posts like this.
8:21The Strait of Hormuz is in social media.
8:24If someone blocks you, you just can't block them back.
8:28You know, we've heard these stories about Malawian, which are Malawian flag, technically Chinese ships
8:36that have been able to go in and out of the Strait of Hormuz.
8:40By and large, even though Donald Trump claims 34 ships have been able to pass
8:45through the Strait of Hormuz loaded with all of this liquid gold and all of
8:49a sudden, it's just not true.
8:50There's been a few ships that have passed through the Strait of Hormuz and they
8:54mostly, and they basically still are able to get past this blockade, even though you
9:01have CENTCOM saying no ships have been able to break the blockade.
9:06It's impenetrable, the blockade. Well, I mean, there's a ship called the Rich Stari that
9:10got through the Strait of Hormuz and there's limited traffic, but just the very idea
9:16that Donald Trump's plan is, how do we open up the Strait of Hormuz?
9:20Let's close it even more.
9:22Let's do a blockade of Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz.
9:26That will show them what kind of plan is that.
9:33And also, I think it's clear that Donald Trump realizes how the war is so
9:37harmful to the economy, how it harms the markets.
9:41And this is why Donald Trump always chickens out, as they say.
9:47And he talks a big game, the bluster, the bravado, we're going to obliterate you,
9:53we're going to destroy you.
9:55And then he extends his deadlines, extends his deadlines.
9:58And then he basically agrees to most of Iran's terms, recognizing Iran as not just
10:06a regional power, but a world power.
10:08So we are going to talk more about that in this episode, because I think
10:13it's important to fully contextualize what's happened.
10:16Iran hasn't been obliterated. Iran has been damaged.
10:20And yes, the Trump regime has destroyed a lot of buildings, bridges, hospitals, elementary schools,
10:26also military infrastructure. But Iran has half of its ballistic missile arsenal, half of its
10:31drone arsenal, half of its ballistic missile launcher arsenal still exists.
10:35Most of its fast ships, the smaller ships exist.
10:39How do you - you think they control the Strait of Hormuz?
10:41What do you think they're controlling them with?
10:43Their top leadership was out there in Pakistan when the Trump regime tried to change
10:49the 10 -point negotiating framework that they agreed to.
10:53Trump agreed to a 10 -point framework that Iran put forward.
10:56And then the Trump regime showed up and said, ah, that's not the framework that
11:00we actually want to do.
11:01You need to agree to our terms.
11:03And Iran was like, no, we're not doing that.
11:05And then it got to this point where it seems that the main sticking points
11:09is, will Iran not be allowed to enrich uranium for 20 years?
11:13Or is it five years?
11:15But nonetheless, the deal, and you have people like Mark Levin, that's how he talks
11:19from state regime media, which calls itself Fox.
11:22Mark Levin, if reports of a 20 -year ban on Iran's enrichment are accurate, and
11:27I doubt it, that would be a terrible concession.
11:30There's no need for any concessions.
11:31The Iranian regime will collapse if we keep the pressure on, and Donald Trump is
11:37going to do it, and he's going to save the day.
11:39I mean, look, Obama's deal 10 years ago had them not enriching uranium ever with
11:46international protocols and the buy -in from all of the key stakeholders.
11:50So now in the best case scenario, the best case scenario, Iran controls the Strait
11:56of Hormuz to some degree, which didn't exist before the war, and a much weaker
12:02deal exists than Obama's deal.
12:04Great deal -making, Donald. You did it again.
12:07Fantastic. And it needs to be talked about like this, with the truth, with what's
12:11really going on, so that people understand the stakes here, and that this doesn't just
12:16get, you know, passed along to the next presidency, and then whoever it is the
12:22Democrat inherits all the mess, then they have to deal with it.
12:25And then the Republicans are like, oh my God, can you believe what they're doing?
12:29It's like, well, Donald Trump left him the biggest mess imaginable.
12:32And we have to be able to document that right now so that we end
12:37this freaking cycle of Donald Trump destroys, and then MAGA blames, and the arsonists pretend
12:45that they're the firefighters when they're not.
12:47Okay? We have to just hold the counter, but this should be a bipartisan issue.
12:51This should be bipartisan. And speaking of bipartisan, again, I want to go back to
12:55international in a moment, but I want to talk about domestic as well, because Congress,
13:01after a long vacation, while this war was taking place, must be nice to vacation
13:06as long as they've been vacationing.
13:09They are back right now.
13:10And one of the first things they do is they help Pam Bondi not show
13:16up for her deposition, where she's been lawfully subpoenaed before the House Oversight Committee.
13:23I want to bring in right now the man who made this post right here,
13:27for those on audio or showing a Scott McFarland post, where he got a scoop
13:32from a Democratic Congress member, a ranking member of House Oversight, Robert Garcia, that Pam
13:37Bondi was a no -show for her deposition today.
13:40Pam Bondi is evading a lawful congressional subpoena by failing to appear before the Oversight
13:45Committee for a deposition about the Epstein files in the White House cover -up.
13:49This subpoena applies to her regardless of her title.
13:52She must appear before the committee, and if she continues to ignore the law, Oversight
13:57Democrats will move forward with contempt proceedings immediately.
14:00We will fight until there is true accountability and justice.
14:04Let's bring in the Midas Touch Network's chief, Washington, D .C.
14:07correspondent and host as well of Scott McFarland reports on his YouTube channel.
14:12Everybody subscribe to Scott's YouTube channel.
14:15Scott is live right now on Capitol Hill.
14:17Scott, it's great to see you reporting live from D .C., from Capitol Hill.
14:21Talk to us first, if you will, about what's going on with Bondi's deposition, the
14:26response by Democrats and also the response by Republicans.
14:29My freshman year, high school English teacher is so proud.
14:33There were no freaking typos in that long quote that I did verbatim from Robert
14:37Garcia. I got the punctuation right, Ben.
14:39Nailed all the spelling. Look at that.
14:42That's playing with an A game right there, Ben.
14:45So Robert Garcia gives this big statement, and it's been echoed by other members of
14:48the House Oversight Committee. I just spoke with James Walkinshaw, who says this really is
14:53a snub to the people in addition to the Congress.
14:56She was to be here today.
14:58She was subpoenaed by name, not by power, not by position, and she didn't show.
15:02So she has defied the American people and their representatives.
15:06Contempt proceedings would be done through a vote in the U .S.
15:12House if they want to find her in contempt of Congress, and they may or
15:15may not move on that.
15:16That may happen. The Republicans have been silent on her no -show today.
15:20They have not been criticizing nor been alibying her no -show.
15:24But there's a real fundamental bottom line here, Ben.
15:28It would be the Department of Justice that would have to decide whether to prosecute
15:31Pam Bondi for contempt of Congress.
15:33It truly would be Todd Blanche who decides if Pam Bondi gets charged with a
15:38crime. That's not even in the fan fiction version of what happens next.
15:42So they're without a lot of leverage here other than public pressure.
15:47And because, Ben, the Epstein -Files coalition is bipartisan and unique in nature because it's
15:54a unicorn, they really can apply some political pressure here on Trump, on his team,
15:59and on Pam Bondi to get her here eventually.
16:01So you had Todd Blanche basically saying today, Have a great day.
16:07Okay. as well. We've turned over all of the files.
16:10There's nothing to discuss anymore regarding Epstein.
16:13We're putting a kibosh on it, basically.
16:16And he reiterated during his first press conference as acting attorney general that this is
16:21over. Don't talk about it.
16:22He said, we've turned over all of the documents when, in fact, the Democrats say,
16:27and I believe rightfully so, there are still millions of documents being withheld under privilege
16:33grounds or assertions of privilege that probably shouldn't be made, one such privilege that the
16:40DOJ is claiming is a big one, deliberative process, which kind of eats the whole,
16:46if you will, of the production, where basically, for those who don't know what a
16:51deliberative process, basically, that's everything that takes place in a DOJ investigation when they deliberate
16:57in that process of internal communications in a typical criminal case, because it would make
17:05no sense to give a criminal defendant the internal communications of the DOJ.
17:11That is a privilege that understandably applies to an active current case where there's like
17:17a criminal trial, right? Because you don't want the inner workings being known.
17:22But now, many years later, when you have a law that doesn't provide a basis
17:28to assert those privileges to begin with, they're asserting like a litigation trial privilege, deliberative
17:35process to not turn over what I think, Scott, would be a bulk of these
17:39documents. And Blanche is saying, we're done.
17:42And so how is that playing out there?
17:45And to me, it just continues this.
17:47And people are going to say, okay, we know you're hiding.
17:50This isn't going away. We're not forgetting.
17:52We're not going to be like, okay, Blanche.
17:54Even Jesse Waters was like, I don't think you fully know how people think about
17:58this issue. Jesse Waters, of all people.
18:01Todd Blanche could want this to be over.
18:04He could want to turn the page the same way my 15 -year -old son
18:07can want to borrow dad's car.
18:09It ain't happening, but you can want it.
18:11That's wonderful. This is not so much a legal distinction as a political one.
18:17I'm sitting in the Capitol, Ben.
18:19This is a political animal.
18:21And though Todd Blanche thinks he may have a legal ground to stand on by
18:25withholding three million pages of these records, three million, that's not quite how it works
18:31here. There are political pushes and political shoves, and he's on the wrong side of
18:37an issue vis -a -vis his own party.
18:40Remember, that Epstein Transparency Act passed 434 to 1, basically.
18:46One dissenting vote only. The Republicans voted in a wave to support the release of
18:50these files. So he's defying his own party to a degree.
18:54And I don't hear James Comer, the other oversight Republicans, saying, yeah, we're done.
19:00It is over. Todd Blanche is right.
19:01So he may be going up against his own party here on Capitol Hill.
19:05That's not sustainable. You can't keep just hoping it goes away because the survivors are
19:11not going to be quiet.
19:12Members of the Oversight Committee are clearly not going to be quiet.
19:16They're going to keep pushing this.
19:17At some point, the public voters are going to see the asymmetry bet between Bill
19:23and Hillary Clinton sitting for a deposition, a former president behind closed doors, and Pam
19:29Bondi, who is uniquely relevant to this conversation, not doing so.
19:32Talk to us about the legislation introduced by Democrats today to set up a commission
19:39on presidential capacity for Donald Trump's ability to discharge his duties.
19:46And we know that Democratic Congress member and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee,
19:51Jamie Raskin, has been saying that what we've all been, I think, observing, that Donald
19:57Trump's physical and cognitive capacity appears to be deteriorating.
20:02Just when you watch his behavior recently, his post, it seems to be getting worse.
20:06And that's what Congress member Raskin was getting at.
20:09What are you hearing about this commission?
20:11And what's this all about?
20:13What Congressman Raskin described today used pretty muted terms for him and for the situation.
20:19He says the president's been volatile and incoherent.
20:22And you could argue that's an understatement because you could also argue that it's been
20:28unhinged, unspooled, if not completely mad, the things he's been posting, the things he's been
20:33saying. So you have to look at this as a short -term or a long
20:37-term strategy. In the short -term, nothing's going to become of these commissions that are
20:42being set up or these efforts to better prepare for the 25th Amendment.
20:46That ain't happening. I mean, there's no feasible, tangible way to get to the 25th
20:50Amendment in the short -term.
20:53For long -term prospects, this is really a good optimistic moment if you're a Democrat
21:00because it shows you the party feels comfortable communicating on this issue.
21:06The party feels comfortable saying, this is not normal.
21:09We need to consider finding whatever we can do to support the cabinet moving against
21:14Trump. Compare that then to 2024 when you're walking on eggshells sometimes talking about things
21:21so as not to affront or to somehow offend the purple district voters or those
21:27who aren't concerned so much about Trump, more about their bottom line.
21:30Democrats feel pretty comfortable talking about this right now.
21:33So either they're polling, they're research or their door -to -door knocking indicates, yeah, the
21:39American public is growing increasingly concerned.
21:41So for Democrats, in the short term, this talk of the 25th Amendment doesn't really
21:46do anything in a realistic retail way.
21:49But for the November 2026 of it all, this may be a good sign.
21:54What's the mood like on Capitol Hill with the resignations of now former Congress member
21:59Swalwell and former Congress member Gonzalez?
22:02I also know on a bipartisan basis, we are hearing many other members of Congress
22:09saying, you know, not only is this unacceptable behavior, obviously, but, you know, we need
22:15to, you know, uncover who else on Capitol Hill has these NDAs that have, you
22:22know, tried to block information about their own sexual assault and sexual harassment settlements being
22:28resolved. And, you know, and I've seen that on a bipartisan basis.
22:32And, you know, on a day where Congress has been vacationing during some of the
22:37most critical times in our history for many, many weeks, they show back up and
22:41you have these resignations. So what's the mood like there from both sides?
22:46Some of this is going to elicit cynicism.
22:50I mean, there's a pretty unanimous force here that the opinion is both Swalwell and
22:56Gonzalez needed to go. They can't serve their constituents and ask for things and negotiate
23:02and legislate with all this hanging over their heads.
23:04They needed to go. It seems to be pretty much a unanimous opinion.
23:09You don't have the same rights you have in court when you're being an elected
23:12leader. You have a different threshold where you need to leave.
23:16So we're there. That they had to wait to do it as a pair is
23:20going to draw some cynicism, that we had to make sure everything was balanced on
23:23the House floor before we do the right thing.
23:26That is such a Congress thing to do.
23:28And there they were. They did it.
23:30But I think there's a much broader issue.
23:32There were some safeguards put in place, Ben, in 2017 during the Me Too era
23:36to help provide more of a safety net for legislative staff in America, because Congress
23:42is like its own small business.
23:44Every member of Congress is his own or her own boss.
23:47There's no HR office. There's no types of protections you get if you work in
23:53the private sector for a company or if you work in the public sector for
23:56a local government. So they put some safeguards in place.
23:59But this place is absolute tinderbox for sexual misconduct.
24:06It has been for as long as there's been a Congress.
24:09To a degree, this is a little bit like a dog biting the man versus
24:12a man biting the dog.
24:13We almost expect a rhythm that there be sexual misconduct among members of Congress.
24:18That is a horrible thing.
24:19But it's reality. Think of some of the dynamics at play here, Ben.
24:23You have very young people, some fresh out of college, far from home, working for
24:29bosses who have no oversight and no accountability.
24:31And you have these members of Congress three days a week away from their spouses
24:35here in Washington boozed up.
24:37It's a terrible combination of things.
24:39No single person is to blame for the broader risk, but they sure are to
24:45blame for what they've done with their staff.
24:48It's a terrible situation. They need to consider more safeguards for the young men and
24:52women who want to serve their country, work for a very discount salary, and be
24:56part of the U .S.
24:57Congress. Any other observations that you are making today after this vacation?
25:04While the country's been in war, gas prices are up, things are far less affordable,
25:12consumer sentiment is at record lows, even worse than great recessions, dot -com crashes.
25:20Since some of these surveys have been around, people have never felt worse about the
25:25economy. We often hear about K -shaped economy where the rich getting richer, that's the
25:31upper part of the K, and people who are struggling are doing worse.
25:35It's the lower part of the K, that's the euphemistic, bizarre way it's referred to
25:41as. But what else are you seeing?
25:43Before we go, you know this institution, this building, this town, better than about it
25:48just about anybody. What are you seeing?
25:50I'm glad you asked, because one thing really jumped out at me today.
25:53I interviewed a bunch of senators on a bunch of things.
25:55There was one moment with, of all people, Senator Cynthia Loomis, Republican from Wyoming.
26:00I think the Trumpiest state in America.
26:03I think Wyoming is, and she certainly has been a MAGA ally.
26:06We asked her about gas prices, because we've been asking a lot of people what
26:09they make of this. And Senator Loomis says, I will admit, I'm really concerned where
26:14this is going. And to have a Republican say, I'll admit, I'm troubled by where
26:19we are right now, that's quite a thing to acknowledge aloud into cameras.
26:24And what Senator Loomis was saying then is that she is seeing significant uptick in
26:28food pantry, food bank usage among Wyoming people, people who need the help because she
26:34says the gas prices are out of control.
26:36And that is a frank acknowledgement from a member of the MAGA loyal part of
26:41Congress, somebody who is from Wyoming of all states.
26:45I think that's a read on how some of these Republicans are viewing the reality
26:50right now. Some may not say it.
26:52Some are going to continue to defend the war, defend the president's stewardship.
26:56Tomorrow, Ben, there are going to be this big set of press conferences and events
27:00here at the Capitol, celebrating tax - next day in the president's tax policies, arguing
27:05it gets more money in the pockets of Americans.
27:07It's a tough day to make that argument because none of us feels like we
27:10have enough money in our pockets.
27:11And with gas and grocery prices where they are, a change in the tax code
27:16doesn't feel like it really lands.
27:17Not now. Well, you know, his PR stunt yesterday involved a DoorDash grandma who claimed
27:24she was making $22 ,000 a year and that the tips made up half of
27:31her income at $11 ,000 and that the savings that she made on no tax
27:37on tips allowed her to provide some treatment for her husband who had stage three
27:42cancer because there was no health care for her husband.
27:45Although when you break down the fact that she was making $22 ,000 a year
27:50by her own admission, the tax bracket that she falls in is such that no
27:54tax on tips would probably have a de minimis, if any, impact upon her.
27:58And I think one of the big takeaways is, wait a minute, a grandma has
28:02to work in DoorDash in order to hope that her husband can live because we
28:07don't have a health care system.
28:08I think that was one of the takeaways.
28:10And Donald Trump handing her a $100 bill as though, be grateful for this.
28:16I'm going to give you breadcrumbs and this is what you deserve.
28:19Good luck with your husband's cancer was also a lasting takeaway.
28:24Any reflections on that, Scott, before we go?
28:27Boy, that was a photo op that seemed to backfire.
28:30What good came of that thing?
28:32Even in the news silos where they tend to consume Trump news without any counterpunching,
28:39without any context, I don't know how that thing fell anything but flat.
28:44And it's going to take more than that to change the narrative on the economy.
28:48And tax on tips is almost the least of people's concerns when the gas is
28:52like a tax in and of itself.

31:07We'll talk about much more as well.
31:09Let's take our first and only quick break of the show.

32:57How much time, money, and energy have you spent on health, wellness, and beauty products
33:01to look and feel younger and healthier?
33:03If you're like me, probably too much.
33:05Now I'm so excited to share with you guys C -15 from Fatty15, the first
33:10emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in more than 90 years.
33:14Now it's an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long -term health and wellness, and
33:19you guessed it, healthy aging.
33:22Fatty15 co -founder, Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, she discovered the benefits of C -15 while
33:27working with the U .S.
33:29Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins.
33:33Now based on over 100 studies, we now know that C -15 strengthens our cells
33:39and is a key to healthy aging nutrient which helps to slow biological aging at
33:44the cellular level. Now in fact, when our cells don't have enough C -15, they
33:50become fragile and age faster.
33:52And when our cells age, our bodies age too.
33:56So Fatty15 is a science -backed, award -winning, patented, 100 % pure C -15 supplement.
34:03It's vegan -friendly, free of flavors, allergens, or preservatives.

34:50fresh after drinks with friends, it's with pre -alcohol.
34:53Z -Biotics pre -alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
34:58It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.
35:02Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in
35:07the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration.
35:11That's to blame for rough days after drinking.
35:13Pre -alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.
35:17Just remember to make pre -alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and
35:22you'll feel your best tomorrow.
35:24Look, I won't lie. I was a bit on the fence about pre -alcohol initially,
35:27but then while hanging out with some friends at my local bar, I gave it
35:30a shot and believe me, it's the real deal.
35:32March is a marathon of social events.
35:35From the slopes to the bracket watch parties to Guinness on St.
35:38Patrick's Day, pre -alcohol is the tool you need to fully enjoy the end of
35:43winter. Go to zbiotics .com slash Midas to learn more and get 15 % off

36:08Welcome back, everybody. I'm Ben Micellis.
36:10This is Ben on Breaking News.
36:12It was so great to have Scott McFarlane join us on this Tuesday's Ben on
36:17Breaking News. You know, I talked to him at the end about that DoorDash grandma
36:22stunt. She also has been kind of touring around with the MAGA Republicans.
36:28She gave testimony in Nevada as well.
36:32There she was a little bit of a different look over there, but providing testimony,
36:36you know, over there, as I mentioned in a video I made this morning, you
36:41know, look, her story doesn't make much sense because if she's really making $22 ,000
36:46a year, she falls into the lowest tax bracket.
36:48So already her entire at most taxable income generally will be at 10 % of
36:56$22 ,000 maybe. So the no tax on tips regarding kind of that component, maybe
37:04you would say at most would save her, I don't know, 500 bucks, a thousand
37:10bucks. And that's just not the type of money that it could actually meaningfully help
37:17somebody's cancer treatment with stage three cancer.
37:20That may help you for about 20 minutes in an appointment with an oncologist, but
37:25that's not going to be able to fund anything materially.
37:28So just the numbers there don't make sense.
37:32I'm not sure if they're trying to imply that, you know, that she got an
37:37extra $11 ,000. That's not the way money works.
37:40So I'm not, like, I think maybe that's how they tried to push it to
37:44state regime media viewers as though, like, she got $11 ,000 more.
37:49That's not what a deduction is, and that's not what was even being said.
37:53But then I reflected in this video I did this morning about all of these
37:57stunts. that Donald Trump pulls, and that corporate media always buys hook, line, and sinker.
38:03Remember Donald Trump's black church stunt in Detroit?
38:08He said, I'm giving this big speech at a black church.
38:11And remember all the corporate news reported it.
38:14Oh, look, Donald Trump has all this support amongst black Americans because he's doing the
38:18black church speech. Then you dig deeper and it's like a church that's embroiled in
38:23litigation and that the current head of this church was like fighting with the other
38:30head of the church. And they had to bring in a bunch of Donald Trump's
38:34white MAGA supporters to fill up the church.
38:36And remember at the Midas Touch Network, we were the ones who did the report.
38:39It's all white people in the black church.
38:42So it's red flag. Remember that?
38:45Remember the Chick -fil -A stunt where there's a lady by the name of Michaela
38:50Montgomery, I believe is her name, who was a MAGA operative black lady.
38:54And she would go to the Chick -fil -A and then she would be at
38:57the church. And then she would be at this event.
38:59And she would always be like hugging Donald Trump.
39:02Then Trump would be, you see, I have big support amongst black women.
39:06And it would be the same lady, Michaela Montgomery would be the person going to
39:09each of these events. And we called her like Chick -fil -A lady.
39:13Remember it? Because she would be at all these events.
39:14And we pointed it out to say, no, it's just a silly PR stunt.
39:18Like don't fall for this.
39:20Remember, Donald Trump would be like, I'm going to the bodega, everybody.
39:23Just me taking a little trip to the bodega.
39:26You know, when he wanted to show that he had Latino support in the Bronx
39:29and in Harlem. And it would be the same young Republicans who would show up,
39:33who were part of the college young Republicans there of New York City.
39:37We'd be like, look, same exact people.
39:39Hello. Remember he would show up to the barbershop and he would go to like
39:44a black barbershop in Atlanta.
39:46And like the Trump campaign would say, oh, we're doing a community service event to
39:52uplift businesses. And then like Trump would show up and then like the head of
39:55the barbershop would be like, yeah, it wasn't pitched to us as a campaign event.
39:59But the Trump regime was like, look, we have the support amongst black men and
40:04barbers. Look what we have right here.
40:06And he would do that, you know, over and over again.
40:09Remember he would have the fake firefighters would show up and it's like it was
40:13people who weren't firefighters pretending to be firefighters like at an event.
40:18Remember he did the stunt in, I think it was in Michigan where it was
40:22at a non -union shop and it was an event pretending to be union workers.
40:27And he like rented out the non -union shop and gave them shirts that say
40:30union workers for Trump. Even a post that's not getting a lot of attention based
40:35on all the other crazy stuff that he's posted.
40:39Recently he made this post and he claimed that he saved Ed McMahon from foreclosure
40:47in 2008. Like Trump made this weird post and he was like, nobody knows this
40:51about Donald Trump. That's what Trump's post said.
40:54But back in 2008, Johnny Carson sidekick, Ed McMahon was 86 years old.
40:59He was dying and he was losing his home.
41:02Donald Trump bought the home, allowed McMahon to live in there for the rest of
41:07his life and made sure that during this horrible circumstance, Trump's hero who Trump watched
41:14when he went to, uh, business school would be able to live in his home.
41:19And it was a great thing by Donald Trump.
41:21And then you actually look into the story and it was like, no, in 2008,
41:25Trump leaked to the LA times that he was buying McMahon's home in 2008 and
41:30then never did it. And then McMahon's daughter was like, yeah, he said he was
41:34going to do it. And then never followed through.
41:36And he like increased the torment and tragedy that we had.
41:39So we can get like a PR quote in the LA times that he was
41:43like helping, but then never actually did it.
41:45And now in 2026 in April, he's posting about that as though he like helped
41:51McMahon. I mean, just a really weird deranged thing.
41:53These are all stunts. It's all propaganda BS and it's intended to manipulate.
41:59And it's such a big lie.
42:02All this stuff that he does.
42:03Like when he says his trade deals, $21 trillion were brought in.
42:07No, all of it's a lie.
42:08Which portion? All of it.
42:10You mean to tell me that someone would lie about 21 trillion?
42:14Yeah. Yeah. I mean to tell you, he would lie about $21 trillion.
42:18And now when you see the statements coming out from CENTCOM in the war, and
42:22it's like the blockade is going great.
42:25No ships are going in and out.
42:27Iran is collapsing right now.
42:30One of the sad things about this war was actually a realization that was articulated,
42:36not just by me. You may think, oh, well, Ben, you don't like Trump or
42:41this or that. So I'm not sure.
42:43But who else is saying what you're saying?
42:45How about the editor at large at the Wall Street Journal who said like, we
42:48have to like come to believe right now Iranian media like Farr's and Tasneem and
42:55Maher's and others more than what Trump is saying?
42:59Yeah. The Iranians are close.
43:01It's all propaganda sometimes in war.
43:03But what they're saying often resembles the truth more than what Donald Trump, that's a
43:07really sad realization to have to make right now that it's like nothing we were
43:14told was true. And we have to fundamentally question as well that purported crash of
43:21the F -15E when apparently two F -15E.
43:25fighter pilots, you know, ejected and they were safe and that they were there and
43:31that there was a rescue mission that just happened to be right by Iran's nuclear
43:36facility in Isfahad and that the U .S.
43:41built an Air Force base apparently there, a mobile base in order to extract these
43:47two F -15E pilots and it required hundreds of special forces and two C -130s
43:58and a Chinook and multiple other helicopters and all of those airplanes and helicopters had
44:05to be destroyed. A billion dollars of aircraft and helicopters destroyed as well.
44:10Multiple MQ -9 Reapers destroyed in this operation and who are these people?
44:17Do you, I mean, I'm asking the question, like, do you know who these F
44:21-15E pilots are? Like that, isn't it odd that like we've never met them?
44:25Like we don't know who they are, like what's their condition, what's happened to them?
44:31You know, we're supposed to believe that one of them was a colonel, which is
44:36kind of odd that they would be, not impossible, but a little bit odd that
44:39they would be doing a mission like that, but okay, you're telling me a colonel.
44:41Who's the colonel? I don't, do you know?
44:44Does anybody know? We're supposed to just stop asking questions or why was there hundreds
44:49of special forces? I mean, at a most common sense level, if we were going
44:53to extract two F -15E pilots, wouldn't you want to make less noise?
44:58Like wouldn't you want to just send like a very small special forces team in,
45:03locate them, get them out right away and then get the helicopter down and try
45:08to be as quiet as, you'd want hundreds of special forces?
45:12I mean, or the alternative, was there a mission to try to get to the
45:18Isfahan nuclear facility, which was nearby, in order to, you know, take this ridiculous idea,
45:24we were going to take the enriched uranium from it and then Iran was able
45:29to neutralize some of the airplanes, the C -130s and such that were landing.
45:34And so that mission was aborted and the F -15Es were pretext by our CIA
45:40in order to claim that there was a mission, but the real plan was to
45:44bring in the special forces with the pretext being that it was, you know, an
45:50extraction mission. I got, again, this is where I like, I'm like, okay, Ben, you
45:56know, don't veer into conspiratorial world, stick to the facts.
46:02That's what we do here at the Midas Touch Network.
46:03But the reality is, I don't think that is a far -fetched, I don't think
46:08that's conspiratorial at all. I think that there's a higher likelihood that that's the reality
46:13of what went down than the story that we've been told, you know, and it's
46:16like during the negotiations in Pakistan between the US and Iran, we were told, remember,
46:22that there was a successful mine sweeping operation with two naval destroyers and it was
46:27great. And now there's free passage and the straighted for moves, we did it.
46:32And then it was like, no.
46:34And there's like video actually of the US Navy destroyers turning around when Iran's Navy,
46:40yes, because it still exists, said, turn around or we're going to fire upon you.
46:45And then our destroyers turned around.
46:48So, I mean, when you're told such a lie, now, like now CENTCOM says the
46:54blockade is so successful, it's really working.
46:57And we've now implemented free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
47:04No, you haven't done that.
47:07You have not done that.
47:08Only six vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz yesterday is what happened.
47:14And like, I just want to get the facts, Jack.
47:17I just want to live in a reality right now.
47:22And you all saw the reports today as well about inflation rising, PPI, which is
47:29wholesale inflation surging up to 4 % year over year.
47:35Yes, we're back in 4 % inflation land when Trump promised to decrease it.
47:40Core PPI, core wholesale inflation, which doesn't include some categories like some of the increased
47:46energy prices, that remained steady at 3 .8%, which is still elevated and high.
47:52And that's what the Trump regime was celebrating.
47:54We did it a better, a better report for core CPI than anybody thought possible.
48:00I mean, PPI, wholesale PPI, it was at 4%.
48:04And the American people, we know things are getting more expensive, like stop the gaslighting.
48:08We know that everything is more expensive.
48:10People can't afford things. That's just the reality of it.
48:13You know, and then you think over here, yeah, that's the report, it's the highest
48:17since 2023 right now. It's going in the opposite direction.
48:20So when I say it's the highest since 2023, guess who was in office in
48:242024? Biden. So was it lower in 2024 than right now?
48:29Yes. And Trump's whole thing is I'm going to make prices lower immediately on day
48:33one. And he didn't do that.
48:35That's why even among non -college educated white people, Trump's disapproval is now at 52
48:44% and his approval is 48%.
48:46His core base, white, non -college approval, 48 % right there.
48:53And I want to give this data point as well, because all of this to
48:56me is inextricably intertwined. And I know not enough reporting is done or attention is
49:02paid to climate issues, but it is inextricably intertwined with the economy.
49:08Take a look at this new report right here for Climate Power.
49:12365 clean energy projects taken off the grid as Americans face months of pain at
49:18the pump thanks to Donald Trump's war.
49:21This new report from Climate Power showing that Donald Trump and Republicans have canceled enough
49:26projects to power nearly 15 million homes, spiking utility bills by as much as 13%.
49:34Gas prices have skyrocketed by more than a dollar per gallon since Trump attacked Iran
49:40and will remain high for months after the conflict ends.
49:44So since Trump took office, household electric bills have risen as much as 13 %
49:48nationally, while residential natural gas prices have increased by 12%.
49:54Pause. You knew that. I didn't have to tell you that because you get your
49:59bills. I get my bills.
50:01I know that it's probably around that number, if not higher.
50:05Trump's war of choice in Iran is sending oil, diesel, and jet fuel prices skyrocketing,
50:10yet his priority is spending a billion in taxpayer dollars to stop homegrown clean energy
50:16production that would protect America from global oil shocks.
50:21Trump and Republicans started this energy crisis with their attacks on clean energy projects and
50:25are now accelerating it with their war of choice in Iran.
50:28These canceled projects would have produced enough electricity to power the equivalent of 14 .6
50:34million homes. Without them, utility costs have gone through the roof, factories are closing down,
50:40and we are more dependent on volatile foreign oil.
50:43These actions are also dramatically increasing the pollution of our air and water right now.
50:50I mean, serious stuff. Serious stuff right now.
50:53And you know who's not doing that?
50:55China. China. China's doing the opposite right now.
50:58And as we reflect on what's going on in the world, again, I did a
51:02video on it this morning, we're seeing new alliances form.
51:06Donald Trump's America first means America alone.
51:09We're seeing countries take these big visits to China as they're recognizing China as the
51:15main superpower in the world right now, and China being viewed as a much more
51:20stabilizing force on the international order than Donald Trump is.
51:25So you had Prime Minister of Spain, you had the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi,
51:31both visit Beijing in the past 24 to 48 hours.
51:36You have France and the UK talking about a coalition to address in the future
51:42oil shocks in the Middle East and how comprehensive strategies can be dealt with.
51:48You have Arab nations working with Ukraine to create security umbrellas to deal with the
51:54drones and to deal with the ballistic missiles because Ukraine has unique knowledge there.
52:01And then you have Donald Trump through all of this just continuing to attack NATO,
52:05continuing to attack Europe, continuing to attack Pope, picking a fight with the Pope, you
52:12know, Pope Leo XIV. You know, he attacked him again today, he attacked him before,
52:16and it's like, that's where you're spending your time right now, attacking Pope Leo XIV
52:21and saying he's bad on foreign policy and he's bad on immigration and that he
52:26shouldn't be talking about world affairs and he needs to just shut up and pray,
52:31basically, is what Donald Trump is saying about Pope Leo XIV.
52:35I mean, this is how Donald Trump spends his days.
52:37I don't like NATO, paper tiger.
52:40Me and Putin talk about NATO being a paper tiger.
52:42They wouldn't give me Greenland.
52:44They wouldn't give me Greenland.
52:46How embarrassing. Pope Leo XIV.
52:49Pope Leo the weak. Prime Minister Maloney of Italy.
52:53Weak, weak, pathetic, pathetic. She's pathetic.
52:56Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
52:57Just, you know, it's baby.
52:59It's baby behavior. It's whiny baby behavior.
53:03I'll show you this clip here of Prime Minister Carney at the Liberal Party convention
53:09that took place recently. And Prime Minister Carney.
53:13Let's play the clip where he talked about the international order is crumbling and suggested
53:20Canada's ties with the U .S.
53:22are no longer reliable. Let's play that one.
53:24The world's changing. Not gradually, but suddenly.
53:32Yes, some are still in denial.
53:35Rather than starting on this journey, they're waiting for the past to return.
53:49But hope is not a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy.
54:03And if we stand still during this rupture, we will surrender our future to others.
54:12My friends, technological change is accelerating.
54:16We can either shape our future with AI or let it continue.
54:20control our destiny. The foundations of the international order, the order which Canada helped build
54:28and from which we have benefited for so long, that order is crumbling.
54:35The Canadian people agree, right?
54:38They've handed him a majority government right now, securing his tenure as prime minister through
54:42at least 2029. Of course, one of the reasons we follow international updates here on
54:48the Midas Touch Network is because, as I've said before, Donald Trump is a vessel
54:53of a broader fascist agenda that is embodied in the Trumps and the Orbans, the
54:59Le Pens of the France, the Nigel Farage's and the reform parties in the UK,
55:05the Duttons in Australia, right?
55:10Orban in Hungary. And with the big victory of Peter Magyar as well from TISA
55:16beating Fidesz and getting the super majority to be able to change the constitution, to
55:22be able to move Hungary in a more pro -EU direction, seeing the rise of
55:28Prime Minister Sanchez in Spain.
55:30This is truly a struggle internationally between democracy and fascism.
55:35If we just focused on domestic politics and gamifying a domestic politics, this party, that
55:42party, this person, that person, this person, that person, if we try to exalt politicians
55:47with cult of personalities as though they're heroes, they're not, okay?
55:53We need to situate our movement, our network in the people.
56:00We need to be better listeners than we are talkers.
56:04We need to hear the struggles of people, what you are going through on a
56:09day -to -day basis, and we need to be responsive to that.
56:13And we need to call out the forces, because that's what it is, the forces
56:18of evil who are making your lives worse, who are taking and taking, who are
56:24being predators against you, who are stealing and cheating and rigging the system so that
56:30you are the ones who get screwed and they get richer and more powerful at
56:36your expense. That's what we need to be focused on.
56:39It's why, as we expand, we expand internationally as well with a mindset to recognize
56:46the interconnectedness of what's happening in our world.
56:50And if you can hear, my dogs agree with everything I just said.
56:55Their bark was saying, so stipulated, Ben, and they're saying, you know what you need
57:00to tell everybody? What Taquito and Chaquito?
57:03Tell everybody that the Katie Fang Show is about to start.
57:06You all know her. You all love her.
57:08She's on the Midas Touch Network.

57:16McFarlane on, and then you go to Katie Fang.
57:19Think about that, what you all help build.
57:21And we're so grateful for your support every step of the way.
