While vacationing in Ireland with the whole world laughing at him, mocking him, and repulsed by him, and with protests all around Ireland, Donald Trump is posting videos of himself golfing. And he writes, Such a great golfer. Too bad I have very little time to play. And it's just post after post of himself hitting golf balls. We know all you do is play golf.

3:02While the world is collapsing around you, as you have shown how utterly weak and pathetic you are. And so you want to talk waste, fraud, and abuse. Well, now we are learning when Donald Trump arrived in Ireland. He not only flew in the Cotari Air Force One, he also made the old Air Force One, the actual Air Force One, travel with him as well. So apparently when he travels overseas now, he has two Air Force One's with him, and under waste of taxpayer dollars right now. I mean, how absurd is this? Look at this, what it looks like. And then you take a look at what the motorcade looked like in Ireland, what this is costing the people of Ireland, what this is costing the taxpayers here in the United States, for this ridiculous, fascist circus, it is utterly absurd. And then you have Aaron Rupar. You know, Aaron Rupar, someone who I have a great deal of respect

4:05for an independent journalist also, has been posting some photos of Natalie Harp, who's been traveling with Donald Trump, you know, Natalie. When Donald Trump was at the NATO summit in Turkey, he and Natalie hid in the catering container, because Trump was so scared that Iran was going to kill him. Well, Rupar was posting photos of her, traveling with Donald Trump, no balani there, of course. And all Aaron wrote was, look who made the trip to Ireland, hashtag, Travel with Natalie, to which the Trump regime's official White House account replied, President Trump does, in fact, travel with staff. Aaron, on the other hand, is a sick, diluted freak in his 40s, who sits behind a keyboard and posts creepy things like this, to which Rupar responded, I know being in my 40s makes me too old for the president, but I'm at peace with it. And while Donald Trump is posting videos and photos of himself,

5:08golfing while he's in Ireland, the entire world is protesting him. We saw major protests in Dublin, we saw major protests in Albania. The protest in Albania actually have entered their 105th day. These are the protests against Kushner and Ivanka, and the Trump regime, it started out because of the luxury resorts on the island, it says on that Kushner and Ivanka want to turn into their own Trump and Steen Island and destroy it and pervert it, these disgusting vile things, right? And these protests have grown and grown and grown and have become even more about toppling and forcing the Prime Minister of Albania, Eddie Rama to resign as well. Let me show you what it looks like right now in Albania on the 105th night of these protests against Kushner and Ivanka and Trump and the Prime Minister

6:08who also let the snake in here play this clip. We want to be the best. We want to be the best. We want to be the best. We want to be the best. Because if it's public, it doesn't have public, it's a car roux, isn't it? We want to be the best. And you remember the crowds gathering in Dublin, just show you this one more time, let's play it. And just so you see a scale, the scale of these protests, even though Donald

7:17Trump's like, I don't see any protests, that wasn't happening. No protest. 50,000 people, as I know we're protesting here, let me show you. Because you want to know what's truly creepy, while Donald Trump is in Ireland, while talking about the unification of Ireland, and basically giving the middle finger to the UK, while also providing military equipment to Javier Malay in Argentina, and encouraging Malay

8:17to invade the Falkland Islands, and then for there to be another Falkland Island war, and then Donald Trump said, and I don't think the UK will be able to even fight the war this time. Do you know how long it takes by boat to get from the UK to the Falkland Islands? It's a long boat ride, Donald Trump says. It's a long boat ride, you know, we live in 2026, you idiot, while that's going on, and while the official White House account is calling Aaron Rupar a sick diluted freak, for just posting photos of Natalie Harp with Donald Trump, the White House, we learned engaged in the following conduct in the UK. This comes from the Sun, and I'm sure they're not too pleased with the hate that Donald Trump was spewing at the UK lately. Pettoyouus diplomat seized in dawn raid on London flat, and smuggled out of the UK on a cargo plane before cops can investigate,

9:24that headline sounds vile, because it is. The Trump regime that continues to cover up child sex trafficking rings in the United States by deep-sixing the Epstein files, and we know Donald Trump's names all over those files, and likely all over files that are still being concealed, while the Trump regime prevents foreign governments from trying to investigate connections with Epstein, he's doing it with the UK, Poland, and Latvia, and Norway, and a lot of other countries that are saying can we get access to some of these documents, DOJ, and the Trump DOJ saying no, no, no, we're not going to help at all in your investigations into Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring. While all of that's going on, here's what the Sun in the UK reported, yanked out of Britain, a Pettoyouus diplomat was seized in a dawn raid from his London flat in Putney, and smuggled out of

10:25the UK on a cargo plane before the UK cops could investigate. In essence, the Trump regime found out that one of its top diplomats was sending petto information and photos back and forth to his brother, and rather than allow the UK to arrest this sicko, the Trump regime engaged in like a seal team six extraction in order to basically save this purported petto, and that's what the Sun is alleging. No wonder whether it's in Ireland or the UK or throughout the world, Donald Trump is a vomit-inducing, gremlin thing. You saw the protests in Ireland, Donald Trump was like, what protests? I don't see any protests. There were tens of thousands of people protesting Donald Trump in Dublin. Shout out to all the Midas Dublin out there. We got

11:26your back. Shout out to all of the international resistance against the violent, despicable Trump regime. We've got your back as well, and I hope you've appreciated the content that we've been curating for you here on the Midas Touch Network. It's really with you in mind. I mean, just think about in the past 24 hours, Professor Morandi, we've had Professor McFall, former ambassador to Russia. We're going to keep on having those types of interviews. By the way, the interview we did with Tony Piazza, the mediator, I'm sorry, I digress. I just thinking about the work you and I and all of us are doing together here. You saw the protest signs. Take a look as we run on the Midas Touch account. Not sure Ireland is the biggest fan of Donald Trump, but from Ireland to the streets of Tehran. Take a look right here. Trump made an appearance on the streets of Iran last night. The shirt reads, I did wrong. I screwed up. You think? And folks talking about the screw up right here,

12:35do you remember the past week when Donald Trump and Sencom struck those five Iranian civilian oil tankers, right? You remember in the Strait of Hormuz? And then Iran responded by striking the US base in Jordan and the Jordanian government was like, we intercepted everything. We got it all. And then Trump's like, our our base in Jordan was in struck and we knew that there was major damage remember that while we're getting new images of what took place, I have about eight side. There's two minutes of this, but I'm just going to show you eight seconds of what it looked like when the US interceptors were trying to strike the Iranian ballistics. You know, but it looked like Iran was using those K-bar shaken castle breakers that we've been talking about here. Those ones that can zigzag while they're hitting their target and move away from the interceptors. And so looks like the US sent 60 to 80 interceptors. And then by the third and fourth wave of the

13:42Iranian ballistics, there were no more interceptors. Even the US has basically run out of all of its interceptors. But let me show you this. Let's just play the clip though so you can see these this eight seconds. Let's play. Now let me show you this b-roll coming out of Jordan right here because it looks like what the US was using was actually, this is shocking. I mean, but nothing shocks me with the depths of stupidity and depravity of the Trump regime. These aren't pack threes. These look like fads, folks. The thad interceptors, about 11 million dollars each. The pack threes and fours, they're the pack threes rather. Those are about four to five million dollars each. And for every one Iranian ballistic, two pack threes are two Patriot interceptors are sent. But these thads are like 10 to 11 million

14:45each interceptor. And so on that one day alone, it's possible that the Iranian strikes on the Jordan base, which destroyed a number of f-15s and black hawks and a number of other US military equipment. The US may have used close to a billion dollars in interceptors when you add the thads and you add the Patriots interceptors as well. And so the idioticity doesn't end there. As the Trump regime has rushed all of this unregulated AI, did you see what happened yesterday as well? Suddenly, open AI and Thropic, X AI and all of these other top AI companies suddenly did an about face and agreed to slow the pace of AI development in a 12 hour period. Okay? Delaying the IPO of open AI as well. And they said that they would melt their GPUs to save humanity if it came

15:50to it. As Adam Cockrode writes, something happened. There was no world in which everybody including Elon to the head of Anthropic to Sam Altman and Darryl Modi. All of a sudden we're like we're slowing down our AI everybody. Okay? There was a rumor that this week Google cracked recursive AI. But did something go rogue? Did something happen with an AI model that has all of these companies worried? But the fact that you have Anthropics founder Darryl Modi saying, we must pace the frontier. I've written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down with a three part plan for doing so. Then Sam Altman, he now says they're not going to do an IPO for at least another year. Which they were supposed to do an IPO sooner said, I agree with Darryl. We need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussion. We've had an open AI in recent weeks committing to

16:51having independent evaluators with employee like access is a great idea. And we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon. Elon Musk says Darryl is right. So folks Trump is just left and right. This is why we used to have common sense regulation. This is why there was roles that government should play and it doesn't have to be heavy handed roles. But Donald Trump's the worst of everything. He's heavy handed in the worst ways. And then where you want government to step in and provide safety and protection, he just allows all of this stuff to take place at the expensive of humanity, whether it's in the environment, data centers, AI, you name it. And that's one of the main reasons we've got here. Also, Donald Trump, who's been a bankruptor of casinos his whole life has done a remarkable job, basically bankrupting the Saudis. Saudi Arabia oil production has

17:52fallen to its lowest level in three decades. The Houthis continue to now after conquering or controlling all of Western Yemen on Serala's now moving east to Aden, moving east towards other areas. The Saudi back troops in Yemen are in retreat. Saudi Arabia had to shut down the east west pipeline, which carries five to seven million barrels of oil today. The Saudi monarchy is in a very desperate situation right now. An MBS thought, okay, I'm going to give all this money to Donald Trump. And I'm going to be protected quite the opposite. You were the perfect mark to Donald Trump, relying on the US post-World War II security architecture, having a lot of money, and Donald Trump just scooped up your cash for himself also at the expense of US national interest as well. Think about this. So the Saudis confirm that the pipeline, they claim it came from the Iraqi resistance. The Houthis said they did it. The Iraqi resistance said we didn't do it. The Iraqi

18:53resistance is allied with Iran. The Iraqi resistance said we would have loved to have done it, but it's not us. So why would Saudi Arabia be blaming the Iraqi resistance when the Houthis are saying they did it? Because Saudi Arabia is scared to admit that it's the Houthis so they can conveniently blame Iraq, which has the Iraqi government, which is more convenient for Saudi Arabia to blame. Because if the Houthis have those capabilities, it further erodes confidence in the monarchy within Saudi Arabia itself. So just think about this. When it comes to Hormuz, Iran's export route to the north is closed by a war. The pipeline to the south was taken off line. They're fighting and losing against the Houthis in Yemen. The US is incapable of defending them. They're bleeding money at an accelerating rate. Ironically, we may soon see an inverted petrodollar, a Narnbetrond explains, whereby instead of recycling oil profits into US treasuries, they'll be forced to sell them to cover oil losses caused by US wars. All in all,

19:59hard to overstate what a complete cluster FU, you know what, this represents. Do you understand what he's saying there, though? This is an important point. The way the petrodollar used to work in the post-World War II architecture that actually led to the enriching of the United States is that these Middle East countries and other countries that were beholden to the US security umbrella would have to take their money and where would they put their profits, where would they put their money into US treasuries, into US equities, into US markets, which would further enrich the United States. But Donald Trump, the idiot that he is, the bankruptor of casinos, said, that's so unfair. We're being taken advantage of. It's like, whatever you want to say about the post-World War II American-led international architecture, it benefited the United States as well through the recycling of this money into US treasuries and equities. Trump destroyed that.

21:03That's why we're seeing so many countries, not just Saudi Arabia, but everyone from Canada to Norway, to China, to Japan, you name it. Countries across the world at a advanced clip are unloading their treasury bonds. They're selling their treasury bonds. They're liquidating their treasury bonds. So what this means has less people even want to buy treasuries right now. What is the treasury department doing? What is best in having to do? When he does treasury bond auctions, he has to guarantee higher interest rates, higher interest payments, that is, if you buy, if you purchase, if you put money to get US bonds, what does that mean? That means the US has to pay more interest on its debt that it is issuing, thus higher treasury yields. That's what we mean when we say higher treasury yields. Ultimately, that's leading to trillions and trillions of dollar of debt

22:06being incurred by the United States. It prevents and prohibits the United States from doing things that governments are supposed to do for the people in the United States of America. It's bankrupting the United States. That's what's actually happening. I'm going to do another video on this as well, so stay tuned. But you also have Xi Jinping, president of China, threatening Donald Trump now. I know how badly you want me to visit Washington DC at the end of September for that state visit. You keep on telling everyone, Xi Jinping is going to come here. Xi Jinping is going to come here. So Xi Jinping saying, if you want me to show up, this is how embarrassing this is that Trump has begged for Xi to show up so much. Xi knows his very presence is so important to Trump that that's leverage. So Xi Jinping says, if you give any money to Taiwan for their defense, I'm not showing up. I'm cancelling my trip to the United States. I'm not going to meet with you. At the same time,

23:10Xi Jinping, while he was in New Delhi for the BRICS block meeting, and I've done lots of coverage on the BRICS block meeting, he talked about how countries need to decide if they're going to be on the right side of history with the Middle East or the wrong side, the right side being defined as a new multilateral security architecture led by Arab nations pushing out the US and the Netanyahu regime, China having an important role, but trying to empower Arab nations to take a stand against US unilateralism and US projection of its imperialism in the region. That's what China has said. And this has been the most successful BRICS summit ever, ever as Donald Trump's out there threatening NATO attacking the UK, extracting petos from their apartments in the UK. As all of that's going on, a new multilateral system is being created with China as the headgemon. And remember what Xi Jinping

24:14said to Donald Trump when Trump visited Beijing a few months back? Don't fall into the Thucydides trap, Donald. Don't fall into the Thucydides trap, right? Meaning the power that was once great, that's losing its power should not feel that it needs to go to war with the new power that's rising. As we saw happen with Athens and Sparta, as written about by Thucydides, hence the Thucydides trap, right? And so that's what Xi Jinping said to Trump. And Trump was like, yes, yes, yes, we are weaker than you now. Remember when Donald Trump bowed to Xi Jinping and what that was like? So with all of this happening, we want to stay, this isn't a Democrat or a Republican thing or independent thing, right? Like we want somebody who's coherent, like let's talk about this. We want someone who's coherent. We want someone who behaves like an adult. Let's set that as the floor. And then we can go up from there with someone who consults expert, someone who deliberates,

25:18someone who's well-read, someone who cares about the data and the truth, right? That's kind of the next level. Then let's talk about another higher level. Someone who has exemplified superior business skills or superior intellect or superior achievement in their life in a way that they can now provide public service and sacrifice for national interest, right? What I'm showing you is a hierarchy of leadership right now. I'm not talking about politics at all. I'm talking about humanity and leadership, leadership. That's how we should be talking about this. I know when you probably turn on other YouTube channels or this cable news network or that cable news, I know you don't watch cable news, right? But they talk about who's up, who's down? Dispol, that poll, Democrats, Republicans, look, I don't want to say that's not important at all.

26:19There's an election coming up. That's existential and is important. We cover politics here, but what I'm trying to do with this channel, what I'm trying to do with our discussions together. Really, this is the life work of me and this channel and us. We have to think about these things in bigger ways. What are we doing here? Whoa, whoa, why? How have we gotten this lunatic, this sick, vile, sexual predator, this felon, this disgusting thing? Why? Because when we gamify politics, when we exalt this reality TV, attention, gaining system over a system that should be involving like principles and values and things that really matter in the realm of politics and public service, the person who can suck up the most attention, the person who can do that becomes

27:20the leader. And that's why Trump's a vessel of that because who's the most dystopian, grotesque reality per him? So when that became politics, we skewed off into this way and we have to get back. By the way, I'm going to plug the book because WTF America, that's what the that's what the concept is. Whether you get the book or not, I laid out the concept just now for you. And that's what I wanted to talk about this morning. So when he's out there and he's posting you know, these photos of him golfing and videos of him golfing reflect on this. So I will leave you with this though because I found this to be very fascinating. So you have in Alaska, Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan, forgetting his policy stance because he has none, he's a Maga dude during a debate with Mary Peltola, hat tip to Peltola. And so he looks to her for guidance about what the answer is about Alaska. Why? Because people like him and Maga,

28:26whether it's from Alaska to Kansas to wherever these vagas are all about Trump and ballrooms and enriching themselves and they don't it's not public service. It's not public service. So watch this. What a moment here here. Play this clip. Do the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and NOAA Fisheries adequately consider impacts on subsistence users, salmon migration, habitat and indigenous ways of life. We have two notes. Thank you. And look, I'll go to Kansas for a moment too. Senator Marshall, Maga Republican, Senator Marshall. This guy in his past life, he was a OBGYN obstetrician, kind of collegeist. And when he was an OBGYN, you know the story with this guy, he would sue his patients if they own him a hundred bucks or 500 bucks. I think he sued 700

29:28patients. He would do debt collection, wage garnishments. He would screw their lives, screw up their credit over a hundred bucks, 200 bucks, a medical debt. This is the Maga arc. But watch him right now getting a rude awakening. Reality hitting at the Kansas State Fair. The Kansas State Fair, there was a debate there. He was debating the Democratic candidate who's doing great, by the way. Watch this too so you can see here playing. Those are common, common business practices. We would go a year before we'd ever send somebody over. Stay on here. Stay on here. Stay on here. Stay on here. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to do another video of that. So I want you to check back. I'm going to, today we're doing lots of great videos. Every 90 minutes or so or two hours, I'm going to do a new video. So keep checking back for all of that. Well, yeah. Anyway,

30:32pleasure spending this time with you this morning. Thank you all so much. Shout out, minus mighty. Thank you. Before you go, our book WTF America is available for pre-order now. It's the story of how we got here and how we fight our way back to pre-order, scan the QR code, or click the link in the description. Let's do this.
