Trump Goes Mute as Iran Rejects Deal

0:00They call this the lucky country.
0:02Trouble is, there's only so much luck to go around.
0:06See, for everyone finding a gold coin...
0:10Oh, stoked! I found two bucks!
0:12There's a newlywed whose gold ring is falling down the drain.

0:30Donald Trump has gone silent as Iran is rejecting his ceasefire proposal.
0:37Iran says that they just believe it is another trick.
0:40They have no interest in negotiating with Donald Trump or his regime unless Donald Trump
0:46agrees to full reparations from this war against Iran.
0:50And there are strong security guarantees that the United States and Israel will not attack
0:57and invade Iran again. Iran is also demanding that the United States and Israel essentially
1:04remove all military bases from the region, to which the Trump regime, I guess, has
1:10responded after claiming there was going to be these powerful ceasefire talks by removing everything
1:17from Donald Trump's schedule today.
1:20Look at Donald Trump's revised schedule today.
1:23It consists of executive time and meetings closed to the press the entire day.
1:31Now, Caroline Leavitt is purportedly holding a press conference shortly, which we will be covering
1:36here on the Midas Touch Network.
1:38But as it relates to Donald Trump, he's going to go MIA today as we
1:44have thousands of troops heading to the Middle East, expected to arrive in the next
1:4924 to 48 hours for a possible ground invasion.
1:54And folks, despite what you hear from Donald Trump and his regime, it's important to
2:00observe what is happening in the region.
2:03Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz.
2:07They've now created basically a toll system where they're making money controlling the Strait of
2:12Hormuz. There is still an escalating war taking place right there.
2:17LNG, liquefied natural gas, is running in very short supply.
2:23Qatar Energy just declared a force majeure, as have a lot of the main companies
2:29in these Arab nations. There is a lack of supply of fertilizer that's now being
2:37exported. Helium is not being exported.
2:41We have major, major issues.
2:44And as you know, costs are going up.
2:45And Donald Trump just continues to try to manipulate the market here, both overtly in
2:51what he's posting and saying and what his regime is posting and saying, especially when
2:56they go on financial programs.
2:58And behind the scenes, it seems that Trump and his regime, especially with an SEC
3:03that doesn't enforce anything, are looking to manipulate the markets by having people participate in
3:10market activity that has the power of trying to control markets.
3:14But ultimately, in the long run, it's going to backfire when you do manipulation like
3:19that. Just take a look at what Iran state regime media is saying.
3:22Iran does not accept the ceasefire fundamentally entering such a process.
3:27Of course, like war isщее.
3:27and even ultimate suicideюсь in the marketing system, you see leaders, and their business is
3:27still in a Doom. Let's get started.
3:27with those who have violated their commitments is not logical.
3:32It's a statement coming right from Iranian TV from the Islamic Republic.
3:36Also on their regime media, they say, the Islamic Republic of Iran insists on the
3:42fulfillment of its strategic objectives in confronting the hostile front.
3:47Only if those objectives are achieved would an end to the war, not merely a
3:51ceasefire, be possible. And Iran has reviewed the American proposal for a ceasefire and considers
3:59it excessive. Iran says its defensive operations will continue until its conditions are met.
4:05The first condition for ending the war is a halt to attacks and assassination.
4:10Tehran has conveyed through a regional intermediary that it will continue defending itself.
4:15Iran also says it will not allow Trump to dictate the timing of the war's
4:21end. One of the things we learned today through a really strong NBC exclusive is
4:28that the way Donald Trump has been getting his information about the war has been
4:33through two -minute highlight or hype reels that his team prepares for him to pretend
4:41that the war is going great.
4:43So they just clip together two minutes of U .S.
4:47and Israel bombing things and blowing things up.
4:50They show that to him.
4:51They don't give him any other information.
4:53He doesn't ask for any other information.
4:55And this is how he's being briefed on the war.
4:59So Trump is getting a daily two -minute highlight reel of the successful U .S.
5:04strikes in Iran, basically explosions and winds, raising concerns that he may not be getting
5:10the full picture of the war, setbacks included.
5:14NBC was the first to break that story.
5:16So as we wrote on the Midas Touch Network, they're literally editing the war down
5:21to wins only so he doesn't react badly.
5:25Think about how insane that is for a commander -in -chief and how dangerous that
5:30is for the world. Meanwhile, the head of Iran's parliament, M .B.
5:36Galiboff, posted the following message this morning.
5:39We are closely monitoring all U .S.
5:42movements in the region, especially troop deployments.
5:45What the generals have broke, the soldiers can't fix.
5:50Instead, they will fall victim to Netanyahu's delusions.
5:54Do not test our resolve to defend our land.
5:58Just 24 hours ago, Donald Trump and his regime were saying this guy, M .B.
6:04Galiboff, the president of Iran's parliament, was their, quote, hot option to become the new
6:10leader of Iran as the Trump proxy, the way Donald Trump has the authoritarian Delcy
6:17Rodriguez running Venezuela. It's what the Trump regime was telling Politico.
6:22They're hot. He's hot. He's hot.
6:25M .B. Galiboff, are you listening to what this guy's writing and saying?
6:30Meanwhile, Turkey has been pressing Gulf Arab states not to join the U .S.
6:36and Israel in war against Iran.
6:39Ankara has been urging Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and others show restraint through intensive
6:45diplomatic outreach. Do not join Netanyahu's war, as Turkey's leader Erdogan has continuously been calling
6:55this war. Iran's president, Masoud Pazeshkian, responded to Turkey's leader by saying, the resolute position
7:04of my brother, Erdogan, Erdogan, president of Turkey in condemning the warmongering Zionist regime, our
7:11commendable, the proud nation of our friendly and brotherly country of Turkey, has for many
7:16years steadfastly played a role in solidarity with the aspirations of the Islamic Ummah.
7:22By the grace of God, we will traverse this proud path together.
7:27As I also said, don't listen to the words, watch and observe what's actually happening.
7:34An Iranian missile hit near an industrial area in Negev, Israel.
7:41The target was likely the Rotem industrial zone near the city of Demona, where Israel
7:48actually has their nuclear bases.
7:50Among the key industries in this area are phosphate extraction facilities, operations related to uranium
7:57contained in phosphate rock, and Israel's ammonia plant, not to mention in Demona, that's where
8:02all the nukes are. You have that going on.
8:06Separately, you take a look at what's happening in Iraq right now.
8:10This deserves more attention because a war in Iraq is apparently starting again, or at
8:17least the beginning potentially of that.
8:20So what happened was seven Iraqi army soldiers were killed and 13 were wounded after
8:26a U .S. airstrike hit the clinic and an engineering department at the Habaniya base
8:33in Anbar. So that base, which is shared by the Iraqi army and the PMF
8:40Hasht al -Shabi, it's like a Shiite militia that's relating, that works with the army,
8:46was struck in two consecutive U .S.
8:48attacks, March 24th and March 25th.
8:52So this all happened in the past 24 hours.
8:54Baghdad called the strikes a serious violation of Iraqi sovereignty, especially because a military medical
9:00facility was hit. They'd begun their diplomatic and security consultations.
9:05But Iraq authorized the Shiite militias to retaliate against the United States.
9:12And then we saw in Camp Victory, the Shiite militias using the FPV, those first
9:18person viewing drones to destroy a Black Hawk and the radar system there with a
9:24drone swarm that was circling around the area with impunity.
9:28Now, flat out, getting older sucks, but it doesn't have to.
9:31Bubz Naturals Collagen Peptides is going to be the key to your health goals in
9:352026 and will help you turn back the clock.
9:38You might not know this, but the things that happen to our bodies as we
9:41get older, stiff joints in the morning, longer recovery from the gym, hair thinning, nails
9:45breaking, even skin losing that smooth glow, these can all be fixed.
9:49These things happen in the first place because your body's collagen levels start to naturally
9:54decline beginning as early as your mid -20s.
9:56Collagen is often referred to as the glue that holds our bodies together.
10:00So you can imagine that a decline in collagen production as you age has some
10:04big impacts on your body.
10:06That's where Bubz Naturals Collagen Peptides come in.
10:09Bubz helps restore collagen levels closer to what your body naturally had in its youth.
10:14So your joints feel stronger, your hair and nails grow healthier, and your skin looks
10:18smoother. Since I started taking Bubz Naturals Collagen, I'm looking and feeling like I did
10:23in my mid -20s again.
10:25It's awesome. Since I started with Bubz, I already started to feel better and notice
10:29less joint pain. My hair and skin feel and look much better as well, and
10:33my recovery after workouts feels much quicker.
10:35Bubz is different than other collagen products.
10:37There's no junk. That means there's zero sugar, sweeteners, or fillers.
10:40They're third -party tested, so they're NSF certified for sport and whole...

11:16Israel's intelligence director is now giving their own timeline for this war against Iran.
11:22Israel intelligence, their director, is saying regime change in Iran will take a full year.
11:29So we need to be spending a year there is what Israel ultimately wants, in
11:34my opinion, just Netanyahu buying more time in order to keep himself in power while
11:40he continues to engage in war crimes and heinous conduct, in my opinion.
11:46A Pentagon official says recent U .S.
11:50backed us, this isn't important, just pivoting for a moment, because we're talking a lot
11:53about the Middle East, rightfully so.
11:56Trump's unleashed a war there.
11:57But Trump's has boots on the ground and has engaged in wars across the country,
12:04across the world right now, right?
12:06I mean, recent strikes in Nigeria, for example, right?
12:10Invasion of Venezuela, where now the chief torturer in Venezuela has been promoted to the
12:19defense minister role by Delcy Rodriguez.
12:21The person who was the biggest torturer of all the pro -democracy groups is now
12:27basically the number two to Delcy Rodriguez there in Venezuela.
12:31You know about Donald Trump blowing up all of those fishing boats, right, off the
12:35coast of Venezuela without explaining why, just calling them narco -terrorists with a lot of
12:40evidence that they were just fishermen and fishing boats.
12:43So now there's, you know, there's boots on the ground.
12:45There's ground invasion in Ecuador.
12:47Ecuador is run by a right -wing Trump MAGA puppet, Naboa, whose family is also,
12:57you know, wealthy family from the area, right -wing oligarchical family.
13:02And so a Pentagon official says that the recent U .S.
13:05back strikes inside Ecuador are just the beginning of wider military campaigns by the United
13:14States throughout Latin America. So the operation in Ecuador is called Operation Total Extermination.
13:23Okay. You have Operation Epic Fury in Iran, Operation Total Extermination, which sounds like it's
13:32right out of Hitler's playbook, in my opinion, is what they're calling this in Ecuador,
13:37began with a joint U .S.-Ecuador strikes near Colombia's border and may expand to more
13:44land attacks across the region.
13:46So Colombia is also saying this is a violation of their sovereignty.
13:50The Intercept was one of the first to report this.
13:53So where's the U .S.
13:55striking in Ecuador? Well, let's take a look.
13:58The U .S. said it helped bomb a drug camp in Ecuador, but it was
14:03a dairy farm. The New York Times visited a village where the United States and
14:08Ecuador said they destroyed an armed group's training camp.
14:12Residents say it was actually a dairy farm.
14:15And as New York Times investigated these videos that have been posted by the Trump
14:20regime showing strikes, which they claim are narcotic.
14:23Marco terrorist. The strikes appear to have destroyed a cattle and dairy farm, not a
14:28drug trafficking compound, according to interviews with farm owners, four of its workers, human rights
14:34lawyers, and residents and leaders in San Martin, the remote farming village in northern Ecuador,
14:39where the strike took place.
14:43Horrific, horrific stuff right there.
14:45And I don't want to neglect what's happening in the rest of the world, right?
14:48You've got Donald Trump just a few weeks before the election in Hungary, wants Putin's
14:54puppet, Orban, to stay in power.
14:56Trump keeps posting photos of himself in Orban.
14:59He hasn't posted anything in 10 hours, but yesterday, the day before that, he's been
15:03making post after post. One of the reasons Donald Trump may have gone silent is
15:07woof, those Republicans lost big, big, big in Florida, huh?
15:12Democrats flipped House District and a Senate District.
15:15The House District that covers Mar -a -Lago and a Senate District, both areas that
15:21Trump won big in 2024.
15:23So what's Maga Mike saying with all of this?
15:27What's Maga Mike saying? Maga Mike is asked this morning by the press.
15:31The Pentagon is supposedly dispatching 2 ,000 troops.
15:35How is that not boots on the ground, Maga Mike?
15:37Watch what he says. There's talk about the Pentagon is supposedly dispatching 2 ,000 troops.
15:45How is that not putting boots on the ground?
15:49And you said we're not at war.
15:50How is that not an escalation of war in Iran?
15:54Look, I think it sends a signal to Iran that they better get their act
15:57together. We need to resolve this quickly.
15:59And that's the president's interest.
16:00And that's ours. It's everyone's.
16:04We need the mission that was very clearly defined in the beginning.
16:10The objectives have been met.
16:11We have to get the Strait of Hormuz straightened out.
16:14And we need our international partners to help with that because it's a giant project
16:17that involves everybody around the world at some at some level.
16:20So I'm optimistic that's going to happen.
16:23The buildup of troops is very different than boots on the ground.
16:26We don't have boots on the ground.
16:27I don't think that's the intention, but I think Iran should watch that buildup and
16:30they need to take note of that.
16:32They they have to. MAGA Mike is then asked, so is it your position that
16:35we're still not at war?
16:37I mean, seems like we're at war, MAGA Mike.
16:39Is that what you're saying?
16:40Here, play this clip. Speaker, you said a few weeks ago that we are not
16:43at war with Iran. Is that still your position?
16:46I think we're wrapping up Operation Epic Fury.
16:48That's what I think. And I think it will be done in short order and
16:52that'll be right on schedule.
16:53Yes. And then more from MAGA Mike right here.
16:56Let's play it. I don't even think they would agree to vote on a bill
16:59that would simply restock our munitions.
17:03We've used some of those, as you know, and Operation Epic Fury.
17:07And we've got to do that.
17:08It's a necessity. The first job of the federal government is to protect the people.
17:11But Democrats, I don't think we can count on their votes to do the simple,
17:15basic responsibility of Congress. And so when so it is part of reconciliation, probably we'll
17:19see. Yes. And then finally, you have MAGA Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain, who says, I
17:26hope it doesn't get to boots on the ground.
17:27But if we do it and Trump says we need to do it, it's worth
17:31it. This is what the MAGA Republicans are saying.
17:34Let's play it. It feels like this weekend is going to be, I mean, interesting,
17:38given that we're talking about the Marines and the 82nd Airborne troops going there to
17:44assist in opening the strait.
17:47Yeah, look, I'm finally proud to say some of our allies are actually helping out.
17:53I hope it doesn't get to boots on the ground.
17:57That is a big hope.
17:58But at the end of the day, we have got to make.
18:01sure that we can have trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
18:06Take a look at what's happening.
18:09The world is coming together for the first time in a long, long time against
18:14the terrorist state of Iran.
18:16And that's a good thing, because if we want economic prosperity in that region, you
18:22had Jamie Dimon on your program, we have to have stability in that region.
18:27And I think this is one of the biggest steps that we've seen in a
18:31long time to have stability in that region.
18:33For sure. Yeah. Well, there you have it, folks.
18:35Let me know what you think.
