1:00So it looks like Fox is now attacking the Midas Touch Network's war coverage.
1:05We've been reporting accurately what a disastrous war, unlawful war Donald Trump got us into
1:12in Iran. And we have our Washington, D .C.
1:15Bureau interviewing members of Congress like AOC who are providing actual facts about Donald Trump's
1:22disastrous, unlawful war. So Fox started attacking us all throughout the day yesterday, and they
1:29were showing the clip that we did in our interview with AOC.
1:34You'll see it right here.
1:35Our Washington, D .C. Bureau Chief Pablo Monriquez interviewed AOC on the steps of the
1:41Capitol building. You see right there Midas Touch.
1:44You'll see on the bottom Chiron, they say AOC tells Midas Touch Iran strikes were
1:50impulsive. And AOC was telling us also that this is part of Donald Trump's cover
1:56up of the Epstein files and his involvement and friendship with Epstein.
2:01And so Jesse Waters, whose mom is a huge Midas Touch fan, shout out Jesse
2:08Waters' mom. And Jesse Waters is a bit bitter about that.
2:12And by the way, Jesse Waters' mom warned him not to be a conspiracy nut
2:17spreading disinfo and harming and frankly killing people as a result of his lies.
2:24But Jesse Waters didn't listen to his mom.
2:25But his mom's a Midas Touch fan, shout out Jesse Waters' mom.
2:28Jesse Waters started attacking Midas Touch in our interview with AOC.
2:32And he brought on Kevin McCarthy.
2:35What a pathetic person to bring on as well to attack the Midas Touch network.
2:40And Jesse Waters is like, why doesn't AOC get it?
2:45Why is AOC out there saying these things?
2:49Is she dense? Is she dense?
2:51And then Kevin McCarthy's like, she must be dense.
2:54Watch this segment right here based on our interview with AOC.
2:59Here, play this clip. People are briefing the Democrats on.
3:03Is this, is this is a strategy for oil, for China, for Russia, for American
3:10security? Why doesn't AOC get that?
3:14Is she dense? She must be.
3:18Why doesn't she study history?
3:19The last time we had an axis of evil, which we have now, the crinks,
3:24China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea bound together to fight the Western Hemisphere and fight
3:30America. And you know what?
3:32In 1930s, that's what created World War II.
3:35President Trump is making sure we don't have another world war, making sure that America
3:40is strong, that we have critical minerals, making sure that he breaks up the crinks
3:44as we go forward and we can China.
3:47You know what else President Trump's going to do?
3:48He's going to go to China probably at the end of the month in a
3:52place that shows greater strength.
3:54And America is not only back, but freedom is back and America is standing up.
4:00All right. And this was going on on state regime media all of yesterday.
4:05You had Mark Levin who talks like that.
4:08I'm Mark Levin. We need to go to war, do whatever Netanyahu tells us to
4:14do. I'm Mark Levin. If Netanyahu says you jump off the bridge, you listen to
4:18Netanyahu. That's my Mark Levin impression, right?
4:21Um, so Mark Levin is out there screaming at AOC in the interview we did
4:27with AOC. And he's like, why is AOC saying that?
4:31You're just watch this clip right here.
4:33What about the tens of thousands of people who were slaughtered in Iran?
4:37Have you ever heard the Democrats talk about them?
4:40The Democrats say they're for women's rights.
4:42Really? Are they for the way women are treated in Iran?
4:46Apparently so. Right, AOC? You haven't said a damn thing on their behalf.
4:50They never, ever praise our military, do they?
4:53You have Hakeem Jeffries saying that we're going to lose the war.
4:56You know what that is?
4:58That's a traitor. That's right.
4:59I said it. That's a traitor.
5:01Now they, they wave around the - Right, quite a show you the interview with
5:04AOC that Fox was freaking out about, just so you can see it.
5:08Here was the Midas Touch Washington DC Bureau interview.
5:11With AOC on the steps of the Capitol building, play this clip.
5:15What's your message to Americans who think that war, that the bombing of Iran was
5:19in some way sort of intended to distract Americans from the Epstein files?
5:23Well, listen, I think we're seeing this pattern, right?
5:26Trump has impulsively, he impulsively went in on Venezuela.
5:32He impulsively went in on Iran.
5:35There was no exit and no end game for either of these situations.
5:39It led to increased global instability everywhere he goes.
5:44And every time he's done that, it has been consistent with a spike or a
5:48revelation in what is happening with the Epstein files.
5:50I don't think that that coincidence is something to dismiss off the cuff.
5:57I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
6:01And I actually think that it is one reason that he must be removed from
6:06office. Because if this has that, if the Epstein files has such a hold on
6:12President Trump and this administration, that they are willing to plunge us and risk world
6:17war in order to save themselves politically.
6:21That is a person, the definition of someone that cannot make objective decisions for the
6:27American people. Yeah, but apparently that sent Mark Levin into an absolute spiral where he's
6:35like, you know what? The Democrat Party is trying to sabotage the military.
6:41You are a bunch of traitors.
6:43You want to sabotage the military.
6:45No, Mark Levin. I think you want to sabotage the military.
6:49I think by you sending the military into an unlawful war because we believe that
6:56Netanyahu is going to strike Iran first.
6:58So we struck Iran first as a result because we said, well, if Netanyahu goes
7:03first, Iran's going to strike us.
7:05I think you are the one destroying our military.
7:08I think you are the one destroying American strength.
7:11I think you are the one who has placed the interest of America beneath the
7:17interests of Israel. And now you've got the United States into this, what, never -ending
7:22war. We've lost soldiers already.
7:25We now expect there to be many more casualties.
7:29Donald Trump is talking about sending ground troops.
7:32Are you happy there, Mark Levin?
7:34Is this what you wanted?
7:36You think this looks strong?
7:37This looks weak and pathetic.
7:39Do you realize that? Play this clip of Mark Levin.
7:42Let's play it. The American people need to understand the Democrat Party is trying to
7:47sabotage the United States military, the commander -in -chief, in the middle of a military
7:52operation, what I call a peace operation, because that's what it is.
7:55Peace through strength. This is peace through strength.
7:57This is a peace mission.
7:59That's number one. Number two, they're giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
8:03When communist China and fascistic Russia and the inbred in North Korea and the quizlings,
8:09starting with, you know, the UK and others, and when the enemy, here's our Democrats
8:14speak about our military, here's our Democrats speak about our commander -in -chief, hear them
8:19speak about our country. We, the American people, they think they have some hope left.
8:24But, but Mark Levin was not done there.
8:27He goes, in what section that they're out there?
8:32These, these media liars, these Democrats, they're out there saying this is unlawful.
8:38Where in the, where in the constitution does it say Congress has a role in
8:44this? Article one, section eight.
8:45That's, that's precisely where it says it.
8:48You fascist, you, here, play this clip.
8:50And now they, they wave around the constitution.
8:53These people who hate the constitution, they wave it around and they say, the constitution
8:58says you can't go to war without our approval.
9:02So they're illiterate on top of everything else.
9:04Where does the constitution say that?
9:06Which frame of the constitution ever said that?
9:09None of them. The original draft of the constitution said Congress shall make war.
9:14They took it out. They say Congress shall declare war.
9:1711 declarations of war. Most of them in World War II.
9:21The last one in 1942.
9:22So when Jefferson, one of the great minds of the founding, when he went to
9:27war against the Barbary pirates and he didn't get a declaration of war from Congress,
9:32was he violating the constitution too?
9:34I've got some important news that we can't let slip through the cracks.
9:36So let me bring you an important climate update in just about one minute.
9:39The Trump Environmental Protection Agency has eliminated the 2009 endangerment finding, which established that greenhouse
9:45gases are a risk to public health and environmental safety.
9:48We cannot let the story go away.
9:51This was the entire basis of the EPA's ability to regulate climate warming emissions and
9:55allowed the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
9:59So this is just a total giveaway to the fossil fuel industry and will negatively
10:03affect attempts to get climate change under control, both here in the United States and
10:07around the world. Environmental groups are already suing over the move, and so I'll keep
10:10you posted with what happens when we have more updates there.
10:13And in an even more underreported story, the Trump administration plans to loosen restrictions on
10:18coal -burning power plants, allowing them to emit more hazardous pollutants, including mercury.
10:23The EPA has already exempted 47 companies from regulations to curb mercury and air toxins
10:28for coal -fired power plants for two years.
10:31We need to make sure that we continue to highlight these stories amid all the
10:34craziness, and I'm calling on all of you to speak out.
10:37So let me know in the comments what you think of these moves.
10:39By the Trump administration, let me know what you think of these climate updates that
10:42we're doing here in general.
10:44I want to hear from you.
10:45Okay, Ben, back to you.
10:47You know, like a Mark Levin pretends to be a journalist.
10:50He's like, he's like, all I want to say is go, go America, go president.
10:56You've got 92 % of MAGA behind you.
10:59No, he doesn't even have 92 % of MAGA behind you.
11:02You know, Mark, like Mark Levin's like, Mark Levin's like, he's MAGA.
11:06Here, play this clip. Let me just say this.
11:09Go America, go president. You got 92 % of MAGA behind you.
11:14And I bet you have most of the country behind you.
11:17We're going to destroy this enemy, free the people in Iran.
11:20China's upset. The Russians are upset.
11:23And the Democrats are upset.
11:25That's it. I'm done. And to be a Democrat, you have to cheer for failure.
11:30How pathetic is that position?
11:32So then you have some other shows on state regime media, which calls itself Fox.
11:36You have Laura Ingraham bringing in MAGA Republican Congress member Jackson.
11:43Here's what he says. Let's play this clip.
11:46I mean, people, you're right.
11:47President Trump came in. He said he wasn't going to, you know, he wasn't going
11:50to get an endless war.
11:50He's not. This is what this is about.
11:52This is preventing an endless war, to be honest with you, right?
11:55These are people that the longer we let this go on, the more powerful they
11:58were going to get and the more long -term threat they were going to be
12:01for us. Right. So Congressman, just yes or no.
12:03So you do not think this is a big rift in the MAGA community or
12:07among conservatives? I do not.
12:10And I think the more we explain this, the more everyone will see what's going
12:14on here. And it will not be a rift in the MAGA community.
12:16Everyone will come together and support President Trump as we always do.
12:20Well, the Republicans seem to be supporting him right now.
12:22That's for sure. Congressman, thank you so much.
12:24Great to see you. And more from that interview right here.
12:28Do you have any concerns about the overall cost of this if it goes on
12:33longer than what we imagine will be maximum four to six weeks?
12:38That's what the administration seems to be saying and telegraphing.
12:43Laura, I have zero concerns about that right now because of what's happening right now
12:47and the way that this is supporting our national security and our national interests.
12:52Look, the left -wing, progressive, politically motivated person you just had from CNN was on
12:57there saying that, you know, we spent $180 million on this so far.
13:01For God's sake, Laura, we spent billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of
13:06dollars in Ukraine so far.
13:07Every time I turned around and I got in Congress, we were doing a $40
13:10billion supplemental for Ukraine. There were people in our, you know, a few in my
13:15party, but mostly on the Dems that walked around with the Ukraine flag on their
13:20lapel and they were so proud of the money that we were spending in Ukraine,
13:23not questioning for one second where it was going, what it was being used for,
13:27or how it was supporting the national security and the interest of the United States.
13:31Now, I'm not saying I don't want to see Putin defeated.
13:33I do. I want to see Ukraine win this war.
13:35But look, it's very - Then she brings on Stephen Miller's wife, who just lies
13:41and says, you know, oh, this is, at the end of the day, you know,
13:45this is more dangerous than it should be anyway.
13:48This is worse than Somalia.
13:50This is worse than Minnesota and Somalia.
13:52I mean, I don't even know what these people are saying.
13:54Here, play this clip. Look at it more.
13:55It's crazy to see what we're spending our money on under President Biden, right?
14:00When you have the contrast of all these people complaining about the costs of this
14:04war, when in reality, this is what they've chosen to spend our money on.
14:08And quickly, I just want to point out that what we've spent on the war
14:11so far is less than what Tim Walz has lost from Somali fraud in Minnesota.
14:17Oh, that's a good one.
14:19Well, by the way, if you want to see what our war coverage is all
14:23about, we bring on people like Democratic Congress member Jim Himes, who's the top Democrat
14:28on the House Intelligence Committee, right?
14:31He's the ranking member of House Intelligence.
14:33And he and I had a very lengthy 17 -minute discussion where we went through
14:40all of the nuances of the sectarian issues that are now arising in Bahrain and
14:47Iraq as a result of Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran, the impact on the
14:53other countries in the Middle East right now, the impact on the price of oil,
14:59the fact that America, military, is weaker as a result of this.
15:06Here, let's play this clip of that interview that I did.
15:09Well, you know, back to your point about betraying the Iranian people.
15:15I have a theory on how this ends, and I'm willing to make a small
15:19bet on it. The next couple of weeks, you're going to see oil go across
15:26100, in fact, it may happen today, $100 a barrel.
15:29That is going to translate into very high prices at the pump for the American
15:32consumer. God forbid, but there's some chance we're going to see additional loss of life
15:37in our service members in the region.
15:39You know, projections for the economic growth are going to go down because that happens
15:44when you can't get oil.
15:46And at some point in three, four, or five weeks, the president is going to
15:49realize, and he's going to look at the numbers, and he's going to say, this
15:52is really not tenable. And he's going to declare victory and walk away.
15:58And what he's going to say is, look, we had a couple of objectives.
16:00We said, we're going to get rid of the Navy.
16:01The Navy's at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
16:03We're going to get rid of the missile launchers.
16:05That's a little harder. They've gotten rid of a lot.
16:07of them but we did that oh and by the way we set back the
16:10nuclear program that six months ago i told you was obliterated but now it's set
16:13back anyway and he's going to say you know our great patriotic now we're going
16:17to make iran great again and he's going to declare victory and walk away and
16:22maybe the attention of the american public will fade but what will have been achieved
16:26is that you will have replaced a very bad supreme leader killed him replaced him
16:30with his son who is more radical than he is and by the way committed
16:34committed to the crea to the uh the creation of a nuclear weapon you will
16:39have a wounded animal of a vicious regime and if there's one thing more dangerous
16:43than an animal it's a wounded animal and you will have stirred that if i
16:47can continue to use too many metaphors you will have kicked that hornet's nest literally
16:52adjacent to the arteries that allow for 25 of the world's energy consumption to move
16:57so that's the scenario i see and at the end of the day one of
17:01the most tragic elements of that will be that the people who suffer most will
17:05be the iranian people who briefly because of the expectations that this president set briefly
17:11briefly briefly saw freedom only to have it snatched away and to find themselves now
17:16under the rule of somebody who was much more vicious than his father ever was
17:20yeah so there you have it so you know fox can attack us all they
17:24want i stand 100 i stand 100 percent behind our war coverage and calling donald
17:32trump out for his unlawful war a hundred percent and it's finally uh the democracy
17:39community in the midas touch network we have a network like this that gets out
17:43the truth actually says what's really happening and our microphone's bigger than fox and they're
