Topics
Ben Meiselas: 我认为特朗普政府的政策和行为正引发广泛争议。首先,特朗普对内塔尼亚胡腐败案的干预,以及他对以色列的勒索,显示了他对个人利益的关注超过了国家利益。其次,特朗普政府提出的预算案,不仅未能解决美国人民面临的经济困境,反而加剧了贫富差距,损害了工薪阶层的利益。我感到非常失望,因为这个预算案不仅会摧毁数百万个工作岗位,还会让美国陷入债务危机。此外,特朗普政府在国际事务上的处理方式也备受质疑,例如他对伊朗的政策,表面上强硬,实际上却为伊朗发展核武器提供了机会,同时也让俄罗斯从中受益。我对特朗普政府的能源政策也感到困惑,他的言论前后矛盾,缺乏逻辑,根本无法理解他想要做什么。 Elon Musk: 我认为参议院提出的预算案对美国来说是灾难性的。我担心它会摧毁数百万个工作岗位,并对美国的战略利益造成损害。这项法案不仅没有帮助未来的产业发展,反而将资源投入到夕阳产业中。更令人担忧的是,这项法案大幅提高了美国的债务上限,使美国走上了一条通往债务奴役的道路。我认为共和党支持这项法案是一个巨大的政治错误。 North American Building Trades Union (NAB2): 我们工会认为,参议院提出的预算案是对美国工人的侮辱。如果这项法案获得通过,它将成为美国历史上最大的就业杀手。我们估计,这项法案将导致数百万个建筑工作岗位流失,并给中国的能源产业提供竞争优势。我们强烈反对这项损害美国工人利益的法案。 Ron Filipkowski: 我对特朗普政府在乌克兰问题上的表现感到失望。特朗普政府曾承诺向乌克兰提供武器,以换取乌克兰的稀土矿产资源。然而,特朗普政府最终未能履行承诺,导致俄罗斯夺取了乌克兰的矿产资源。我认为特朗普政府的这种行为是软弱和愚蠢的。 Donald Trump: 我认为煤炭是最强大的能源,我们应该继续发展煤炭产业。我不喜欢风车和太阳能,因为它们丑陋,而且都是中国制造的。我希望美国能够拥有各种形式的能源。

Whoa. What I just showed you right there was from Wichita, Kansas, an area represented by a MAGA Republican Congress member too afraid to hold town halls. Americans are pissed at the Trump regime and the Trump sycophants.

in the House and the Senate who were trying to push forward the disastrous murder bill that they refer to as a budget bill. Congress member Frost, Democrat, was there leading this town hall in a ruby red Wichita, Kansas district. He goes, working people across the nation are pissed off.

about this rigged economy and they're showing up. Wichita's congressman refuses to host a town hall. So we pulled up instead Democrats going into ruby red areas and speaking with the people about the rigged economy that MAGA Republicans are trying to give all

All these billionaires and decamillionaires, all of the benefits. And I'll tell you what people are super pissed about. Here's what Donald Trump was posting throughout the evening and into the morning. Israeli court postpones Netanyahu's corruption trial after Donald Trump calls for Netanyahu's case to be dismissed. So this is what Donald Trump is focused on right now.

While Americans can't afford housing, while Americans are psychologically tortured because we live paycheck to paycheck as a disastrous murder bill is working its way through the Senate. That's about to take 15 to 16 million of us off of our health care plans. We're going to go back to the time before Obamacare and other essential services are going to be stripped away.

As our GDP is contracting, oh, we do see Jeff Bezos and the millionaires and billionaires out there in Venice doing their foam parties and partying and living the high life. But I guess we have to take from working class and low income Americans so that what?

so that Jeff Bezos and billionaires and decamillionaires can buy extra jets and yachts. That's what we mean when we say this economy is rigged and it's screwed up. And Donald Trump's out there posting about Benjamin Netanyahu's Israeli corruption trial in Israel.

We're Netanyahu's the prime minister. They're prosecuting him for crimes. Okay. That's their view of it in Israel. So Donald Trump extorts Israel and says, we will not give you weapons from the United States of America. If you continue to prosecute Netanyahu as a matter of life and death, as a matter of war powers, you need to stop charging Netanyahu in the court delayed the case. So that's what Donald Trump is focused on right now. Look, he,

Elon Musk has been trashing Donald Trump again over the weekend. By the way, this weekend I did another video on the Epstein files because we are not going to forget about that here on the Midas Touch Network that Donald Trump wants to cover up, that his name is all over the Epstein files. And I gave data and facts and evidence. Go back and watch that video from Sunday if you haven't seen it yet.

Elon Musk was posting yesterday about the disastrous budget bill. The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country. Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.

Elon Musk then says, who is this bill helping? At the same time, this bill raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, the biggest increase in history, putting America in the fast lane to debt slavery.

Elon Musk goes on to talk about how he reposts from Michael Thomas, who says the U.S. will need 450 gigawatts of new electricity generation by 2030 to meet rising demand from data centers, reshoring, etc. And the Senate is about to vote on a bill that could wipe out 500 gigawatts of potential energy generation capacity. Musk says this would be incredibly destructive to America. And Musk also says

Polls show this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party and a massive strategic error. The North American Building Trades Union, NAB2, they put out a statement about this disastrous bill and they say the revised Senate draft released over the weekend is a massive insult to working men and women of North American building trades unions.

and all construction workers, this is not what they voted for. If enacted, this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects.

In some cases, it worsens the already harmful trajectory of the house pass language, threatening an estimated 1.75 million construction jobs and over 3 billion work hours, which translates to $148 billion in lost annual wages and benefits.

These are staggering and unfathomable job loss numbers, and the bill throws yet another lifeline and competitive advantage to China in the race for global energy dominance.

Just talking a little bit more about international affairs. One of the things that was reported this weekend is that Iran is likely able to restart uranium enrichment in a matter of months because the strikes were not as effective as Donald Trump claims. Shocker. The Washington Post.

They seem to be able to report better when Jeff Bezos is distracted by his wedding overseas. They've actually did good reporting this weekend. Intercepted call of Iranian officials downplays damage of U.S. attack. The officials were heard saying Trump's strike on Iran proved less devastating than expected.

The administration calls the intelligence insignificant, although our intelligence community has heard the Iranians privately. When the U.S., they didn't know the U.S. was eavesdropping, saying that the strikes were not as strong as expected. And we can see with new satellite images from Fordow, Fox reports, Maxar reports,

activity near the bombed ventilation shafts. Maxar collected new high-resolution satellite imagery on June 29th that reveals ongoing activity at and near the ventilation shafts and holes caused by the last week airstrikes on the Fordow fuel enrichment complex in Iran. On today's imagery, an excavator and several personnel in Iran...

are positioned immediately next to the northern shaft of the ridge above the underground complex. The crane appears to be operating at the entrance of the shaft hole. Several additional vehicles are also seen below the ridge and are parked along the access path that was built to access the site. So who does this benefit? A symbolic performative strike that's not as successful as claimed

by the United States using B2s against Iran. Well, Donald Trump gets to distract from his horrible poll numbers and all of his domestic failures, and Trump can act tough as though he was involved in an 11-day or 12-day war. Netanyahu benefits because Donald Trump then calls for Netanyahu's criminal trial to be postponed. And

in a matter of war powers. So Netanyahu's criminal case now gets postponed. Iran benefits as Donald Trump now has encouraged China to buy cheap oil from Iran. Iran keeps its uranium. It's able to build nuclear weapons soon.

Iran makes more money from China. It's now further embraced in the international community because the United States says we're done and Iran can do what it wants to do now is basically what Trump said. And ultimately Russia says,

And Putin, remember Putin said he wanted to mediate the dispute between Israel and Iran and the United States. Russia benefits massively because now Iran can keep supplying its Shahed drones, which are the main weapon used by Russia against Ukraine. Do you see how this all works? And if you don't think it all lines up the way I just told you, well, I've got a nice bill of some snake oil I want to sell.

sell you. Donald Trump then held a disastrous interview on Sunday with Maria Bartiroma, state regime propagandist from Fox. And the way Donald Trump tries to describe what we're doing in this disastrous budget bill as it relates to energy policy is a bunch of gibberish that literally makes no sense.

And I'm not even saying it makes no sense in terms of policy. That's a given. He's not even speaking in complete sentences. He's just saying words. Coal, windmills, mountains. I don't like the way solar looks. Here, listen to what he says. Play this clip. Opened up coal. We were closing all our coal mines all over the country. And yet we still have a lot of coal. We use the generating plants of coal because it's the strongest.

And we're doing coal. So we have everything, every form. I don't want windmills destroying our place. I don't want, you know, these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up a half a mountain that are ugly as hell. And by the way, the panels are all made and the windmills, they're all made in China. Okay.

So now the MAGA Republicans in the House are basically saying that all Americans will die in a nuclear war if we don't pass Trump's disastrous bill because it will deprive us of getting the Iron Dome, or the Golden Dome, they're calling

the Golden Dome to protect the homeland. No one knows what the hell he means by a Golden Dome, but okay, Golden Domes, everybody. Meanwhile, the Grand Ayatollah of Iran has issued a fatwa, which is considered a legal ruling on a point of law in Islam, calling for the assassination of Trump and Netanyahu and other senior officials in Israel, referring to them as the enemies of

God, but I thought you all told me that Iran was on its knees and surrendering and begging. They're doing fatwas right now.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is set to attend the opening of alligator Alcatraz this week in Florida. Governor DeSantis of Florida is using a abandoned airport. That's in the Everglades. That's surrounded by swamp and alligator filled swamp land in the Everglades where they're throwing migrants into concentration camps. It is an alligator camp.

infested concentration camp that they're, this is real. They're calling it alligator. I'm not making this up. Alligator Alcatraz where migrants by the thousands will be put into a concentration camp where if they try to get out, they will be eaten by alligators.

That's what the United States government is working with Florida to do right now. Great work to all of the Cubans for Trump and Venezuelans for Trump and Haitians for Trump, although not as many Haitians for Trump as Cubans and Venezuelans in Florida.

Great work. Great work. You now have went from having temporary protected status of family members and living thriving lives under former President Biden. You now got a worse version of Castro and Maduro who's throwing you on alligator Alcatraz. Whoa, good work. I think Ron Filipkowski, our editor in chief said,

Makes a great point here, a sad point, but it's with deep regret that I report that Russia was able to seize one of the biggest lithium deposit sites, rare earth minerals from Ukraine. Remember Donald Trump and the regime, the Trump regime made a whole big deal about doing a rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine in exchange for the United States providing Patriot missiles to Ukraine. Well, we ended up using about 20% of our missile stockpile

in Israel to ultimately help Netanyahu apparently get off from his criminal prosecution. But when it comes to Zelensky, we did not provide Zelensky with the weapons that we were supposed to do in the deal. And as our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, says, we go through all this drama, machinations, posturing with Trump and Vance at the White House and Zelensky to get this big,

big minerals deal done. Remember that? Then as soon as the ink is dry, weak dumbass Trump lets the Russians seize Ukraine's most valuable lithium deposits while withholding Patriot batteries and missiles. Great work, idiot Donald Trump.

Should be noted as well, MAGA Republican Senator Tom Tillis stated that he will not be running for re-election in North Carolina after Donald Trump demanded that he be primaried and likely Lara Trump will primary Tom.

I'm going to do a whole video on Tom Tillis calling it quits. So watch every 90 minutes. Come back every 90 minutes on the Midas Touch YouTube. Subscribe. Turn the notifications on. Let everybody, friends, family, anybody you know, know about the Midas Touch Network. We got to get the truth out, folks. So be sure to watch every 90 minutes.

But Tom Tillis, Republican senator from North Carolina, so you don't have to believe me, believe Tom Tillis. He goes, I can't look at like the 700,000 constituents in my state who I'm going to kill, who are going to die, who are going to lose their Medicaid if I vote for this. I can't vote for it. I can't kill my constituents. So I'm going to vote against it.

Trump says, nope, we only want Republican senators who kill their constituents. And so Donald Trump wants Lara Trump, I think, to take that part. But we will see. Speaking of the Trumps,

Melania Trump event is now being investigated after promising to donate proceeds to a charity that doesn't appear to exist. A report says, I'll do a whole other take on this Melania situation, but she said there was some B best foundation where the money was going to go to. There's no such thing that exists according to this report. So we will. So yet another Trump charity thing that, uh,

That raises a lot of question marks, let's just say, and perhaps even worse. What a grifty, scammy, despicable family that is indeed. But that's where we're at right now, folks. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. It's good to see those people in Wichita. Keep it up. Show up at those events. This shouldn't be a red state, blue state, purple state, whatever. I mean, this should just be about...

the government functioning for the people, by the people, not by the bullies for the billionaires. Tell me what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers.
