The MeidasTouch Podcast — Trump Gives Up.... Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Donald Trump is giving up. He was visibly shaken when he arrived at joint base Andrews in Maryland. He held an impromptu press conference where he said there will be no further negotiations with Iran until after the midterm elections. He said that the war will magically resolve itself after the midterm elections are over and that gas prices will magically go down to $2 a gallon. Once the midterm elections are over, just you wait, he says that's going to happen. It's right around the corner. Donald Trump held this impromptu press conference as noted on joint base Andrews in Maryland. He's on his way to the so-called Republican midterm convention that people are calling Trump a paulusa, but lots of people are saying it is a loser convention. Magga Republicans do not even want to attend this event. Trump was asked questions about all the Magga Republicans in close races who don't want to show up at this Republican midterm convention. Donald Trump lost it and
started screaming at the ABC reporter who asked the question, you are fake news, you're fake news. But this press conference began when the Cotari Air Force One appeared to be broken down. Yet again, there appeared to be a major equipment malfunction. You can see over here what was going on. They had the old Air Force One, the actual Air Force One was on standby. And then Donald Trump looking visibly shaken, looking just completely out of it. He runs over to the press and he's like, look, there's an issue with the slide. We're just fixing it. Everything's okay. It's all going to be all right. It's going to be about 15 minutes. Just watch for yourself over here as there are more problems with Cotari Air Force One. Here, play this clip. That was there at Joint Base Andrews. Looks like President Trump may be walking to a microphone. Let's listen. Slide over here. I think it's going to take doing a check on the slide. You know, the emergency. So I think it takes about 15 minutes. So we're
heading over to Dallas. Then while that was going on, images started surfacing from Jordan, where the United States military is apparently shuttling black hawk helicopters and other military equipment that was destroyed by Iran's strikes last night, which sent con claims. It didn't even hit our bases when we saw all of these strikes. You can see these black hawks right there and other military equipment being shuttled out of Jordan. Then Donald Trump during the Simprom 2 press conference says we're not even looking to do negotiations with Iran anymore. Why would we even want to do that? We'll wait until after the midterms. He says here, play this clip. We're not looking for it to be honest with you, Jim. Originally, I wanted to make a deal with so far down the line. They have very little country left right now. So we're not looking for it. Yes, and negotiation could possibly happen, but it's not something we're looking at. This war will end
immediately after our election. Thank you very much. Then a reporter says, well, we've seen a lot of attacks in the straight of Hormuz recently. What's going on in Donald Trump's like, that's not Iran. All of the attacks are coming from us. Iran's not shooting at us at all. The level of lies from this disgusting Trump regime is just beyond belief. Just when you thought they couldn't lie anymore, hey, Donald, we saw the strikes yesterday that Iran did on the Jordan military bases. Iran struck multiple tankers in the straight of Hormuz yesterday. Yes, the United States Navy did strike and destroy Iranian civil oil tankers. That is true, but Iran responded with force. What in the world is going on with it? It's just so utterly embarrassing here. Play this clip. The attacks are made by us. We've knocked out nine of their ships. I would say that the attacks
are caused by us. Yeah. And you're going to see a lot more. We've taken out about nine of their tankers. Then Donald Trump says the war will end immediately after the election. Don't worry. That's when the war will magically be over here. Play this clip. If their tankers, many of our guns don't. Mr. President, we're going to find out. Mr. President, I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. I think the war will end immediately after the election. Because they can't hold out any longer. And then Donald Trump says also, the price of gas will tumble down to $2 a gallon or less after the midterms. It'll just do it on its own. He's not explaining why that's the case as he destroys our economy every day and makes things worse. As you know, the price of oil right now is over $101 a barrel. The price of diesels over $6. The price
of gas approaching $5. Here he is lying. So you can hear him for yourself. Say it's going to tumble down. Play this clip. Shortly, but right after the election, because they'd like to have it that way, but right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They're going to be tumbling down and we'll get them down. I think for gasoline, we'll get them below $2 a gallon. But not until after the midterms. I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterms. Mr. President, several Republicans are reported and says, hey, back to like Cotari Air Force one, what are they doing with the slide? Like, is this plane broken? Listen to what Donald Trump says. Let's play it. Not just our country. We have factories being built all over the world right now and it's very exciting to see. Mr. President, do you know why they're checking the slide? Is there a security service? The plan was taken before and they just wanted to make sure so they've, I guess they've already put it up. They want to make sure everything works perfectly. Then Donald Trump tells a reporter, this is an ABC reporter, that the reason why Republicans are not coming to his midterms,
the midterm convention is that there's not enough room. Yes, it's just so crowded. Where are you from? He goes to the report. Where are you from? You're from ABC fake news. Got it. Your fake news and just starts yelling at the report. You're the worst of the worst, he says. Here, let's play this clip. Until after the midterm. I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterms. Mr. President, several Republicans and competitive races are not coming to the convention. Do you understand why they're deciding not to come? Everybody that's got everybody's coming to the convention. Everybody wants to come, but we only want and the people that are coming. By the way, we're going to be sold out tonight just so you understand who you with. ABC fake news. ABC fake news. One of the worst you are the worst of all, in my opinion. The reason that some people are not coming is because we don't have room for 500 politicians. We have room for the ones that have a close race if they're slightly behind or slightly ahead or tied, but we don't have rooms for people that are 35 points up and don't need to be there. We said, stay back and campaign. Every politician
that we want is to be there. Is there a guy? This is one of the easiest things I've added to my morning routine and it's literally just a spoonful of honey. I've been using Monocora Manuka honey and the first thing you notice is the taste. It's rich, creamy and it's unlike the clover honey that you typically find on grocery shelves. It's ethically produced in the remote forests of New Zealand where bees gather nectar from the Manuka tea tree. It has up to three times more antioxidants than clover honey and naturally contains MGO, a compound unique to Manuka honey. It supports a healthy immune system, helps maintain a high function and gut and supports sustained energy. I usually take a heaped teaspoon in the morning, but you could add it to coffee, tea, yogurt, or smoothies and every jar is third party tested for purity and MGO level. Now it's easier than ever to try Monocora honey, head to monocora.com slash mitus and use code mitus to save up to 31% plus $75 worth of free gifts with the starter kit, which comes with an MGO 850 plus Manuka honey jar,
five honey travel sticks, a wooden spoon, a guidebook and an onboarding call with Monocora's clinical nutritionist.

That another reporter continues to look at this slide and what's going on with guitar air force one and the reporters like, are you sure? Are you sure that plane is safe to fly? It doesn't look like it's safe and watch Donald Trump's response. Let's play this clip. That a 35 points up and don't need to be there. We said stay back and campaign every politician that we've wanted to be there is there. Go ahead. President, are you sure the plane is safe to fly? Yeah, I am. Or I wouldn't be honest. What do you want? Mr. President, can you tell it? And then Donald Trump says, you know what? I'm going to do much more than even a nuclear deal. So I'm not going to do any deals until after the midterms, but after the midterm elections,
I'm going to do something much better than nuclear. He goes, that's 99.9, but there's going to be so many other things. And the reporter's like, what do you talk? What? Like what? You'll see just wait until after the midterms hope is right around the corner. But do you see the fraud that they always do? Right. I showed you a video earlier when Donald Trump met with the Wisconsin farmers. In 90 days, he said on June 5th, things are going to be so much better. Just wait until you see. And then on September 3rd, it was way worse on September 9th today. It's way worse. Remember what he was saying in March, hope is right around the corner. Things are going to be better. We're about to win the war. Just go back to what Trump did during his first term with COVID, right? We're going to bend the curve before Easter. There's not going to be COVID. And then right after that, he said, by the summer, it's all going to go away. And then when it was horrific, what did he do? He goes, I give myself an A. And when it was an absolute disaster, what do they do? Hads, Dr. Fauci's fault. It's Biden's fault. That's the pattern with these con artists.
They destroy their the arsonists. Then they blame. But pay attention because we need to get out of this cycle. Here's Donald Trump for yourself. You can hear him say that it's going to get way better. Listen to what he says here. Play this clip. I've been the whole world is in deep trouble. Are you still hoping for a nuclear deal? Secretary Wright said a nuclear deal might not be on the table anymore. No, I'm doing much more than a nuclear deal. There's a lot more than nuclear. We're going to have nuclear. That's 99.9. But there's going to be a lot of other things on the table that wouldn't have been on the table three months ago. What if I had to put the law into a start? We're not looking for it to be honest with you, yeah. Originally, I wanted to make a deal with so far down the line. They have very little country left right down. So we're not looking for it. Yes, a negotiation could possibly happen. But it's not something we're looking at. This war will end immediately after our election. Thank you very much. Then a reporter says you said that oil and gas prices were going to come down.
But oil is back over $100 a barrel. How do you explain this? And Trump's like easy. Just say you're on nuclear. And then the American people love that they're paying more for gas. No one wanted to be in this war. You're lying about the nuclear threat. You claim you obliterated their nuclear capabilities last year during your first operation with Netanyahu. No one believes anything that you're saying, but you're playing this clip. Thanks for weeks that oil and gas prices are going to come down. Oil is now back above $100 a barrel. How do you explain this to Americans who are wondering what I think is going to explain to America? Oh, you have to do a thing. Will you let Iran have a nuclear weapon? And the answer is no. And they're doing very poorly. Their country is in shambles right now. Then Donald Trump says that he had a great conversation with Putin that Putin wants to make a deal. He says, but the issue is Zelensky. He said, Zelensky needs to come to the table and we're doing this again, just which is what he's always been doing. He says, Putin wants to have all of Ukraine for himself. That's what Putin wants to happen.
And Zelensky doesn't want to do that deal, which is what Putin's been unable to achieve thus far in the invasion of Ukraine. But this is what Trump said here. Play this clip. About your conversation with President Putin, we had a great conversation. He is wanting to make a deal. And if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal, that'd be very nice. What is the hold on? And then Donald Trump said, you know, when it comes to Russia and Ukraine, what it's really about, it's just two people who hate each other. And Trump goes, I talk to people, okay? I know a lot about deals. He goes, that's what I do. I do deals. No, you do bankruptcy. You do destruction. You don't do deals here. Play this clip. The hold up is two people that hate each other. What gives you kind of a deal? I think more than anything else is two people that hate each other. What it seems to give you confidence that it's a problem? I think that's because I speak to people. That's all I do is speak to people. My whole life, I know about deals and these are two people that are tired of fighting.
By the way, well, all of that was going on. Here's what it looked like. You can see for yourself in Kiev earlier today as Russia struck hard in Kiev. Watch this. I'll show you over here. Explosions then rocked a weapons depot in Sarmata in the Idlib countryside northwestern Syria right here. At least 14 people were killed. We believe that count is going to increase to many more. And 11 people are very badly injured. But this is just what happened moments ago. Let's play it. And then we also learned, as Donald Trump says, that Putin wants to make a deal. This just happened a few hours ago. A plane carrying Zelensky was almost hit by a drone while taking off from
Moldova and route to Oslo. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gaur Storr said his flight was almost hit by a drone when it was taking off from Moldova an assassination attempt by Russia by Putin. Storr told Norwegian broadcaster NRK adding, this is the reality that he lives in. Zelensky arrived in Oslo to attend the funeral of Norway's King Harold. The fifth and later met Storr to discuss European air defense cooperation. And all the while, Donald Trump just posted this video on his social media platform. I'll just show you a short portion of it. So after yesterday's massive attack by Iran on American military bases in Jordan, this is some weird promo video that a hype video that Donald Trump is posting. Play this clip. And here was another clip from the video that Donald Trump just posted on his social media. Let's play it.
