Café in its best form.

With Cuba, every café has its own focus. With the new Cuba-Wan capsule machine from Chibu, in which you meet a café from special needs. Full Monday, thank Innovative Press Bruteknology and 17-Sorten Café for every snack.

Aléba Premium Café is already on February 29. And here is the Cuba capsule machine in your Chibu Fiali and on Chibu D.E. Right, I really like my style. Steuja, how do you feel? The Steuja is really cool. Yeah, I've been looking over 1000 euros.

Ha, have you ever met? No, just like Steuja. Wow, and that's just... Of course, the taste is all automatic.

Finally, I feel like I'm so enchantment.

Holding a girl to go, deep and enchantment, with like Steuja. Donald Trump just had a absolute meltdown during an interview with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press, and then he abruptly took off his microphone and ran away. He also touched Kristen Welker very awkwardly. Let me show you what just went down moments ago, as she was asking some pretty basic questions

about his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. The pressure was just too much for Donald Trump, and he ran away. Here, watch this.

Yeah, I think it's appropriate that they have an election.

And five days later, they're nowhere close to pick it up. Local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. They're urging votes to be counted. That's how they think of a vote.

Yeah, just like you're crooked. You're press is crooked. And meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's... Really, when you play right into their hands.

Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged.

You know that I won an election in a landslide. And I got 94% bad press. But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.

But you've never presented evidence.

It was rigged. Let's keep talking about... I want to talk about Todd. You have more evidence.

There's more evidence than ever presented.

Let's talk about... Your elections in this country were like a third world country. Your elections are crooked. And you're crooked. And meet the press is crooked.

And so is ABC and CBS and CNN. But Mr. President. You're one sided crooked network. Right. Let's call it quits.

I've had it. Thank you, darling. Have a good time. Mr. President. Let's please.

I travel all the way to Wisconsin. I've checked. I know. I travel all the way to Wisconsin. I want it off in the ring.

And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? Mr. President.

I've country can never be great.

With it. Listen. You travel all the way to Wisconsin for this meeting. I mean, that's not the temperament of anybody who should be anywhere near a position of leadership. Just think about that.

That's how he's behaving every day in the White House.

That's why I keep saying he's panicking. And he's running away. You saw it right there. Then Donald Trump gets angry because he felt that he was being interrupted with his microphone. Here.

Watch this. This took place before he ran away. Here. Play this clip. And the prices were $1.85 a gallon. $1.91 a gallon.

What? This time, it wasn't the rain, but an audio issue that forced us to pause the interview again. Then let me show you what went down right before Donald Trump stormed off. You can see how this meltdown developed. I mean, he is way too emotional to be in this position or anywhere near this position.

That he has here. Play this clip. Look at Breast. People like Stupid Biden. He's not smart enough to know what's going on.

But people that surrounded him surrounded his beautiful resolute desk in the old office. What they did to the lives of people. They destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong. Just it just be very clear.

There's no evidence of what you're saying. But what you're talking about is hot land. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

This is tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. >> The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. Right now it's looking. Look at what's happening. It's not the drop and fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you. It's four days and they aren't even close to coming up. You know what they're doing that because they're cheating on the election. Do you have evidence to support after do is look all after do is not and I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens. So that's not evidence.

>> You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they're nowhere close to pick it up.

>> You know, they're urging.

>> To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's let's let it play right into the hands. >> You read the crooked or you're stupid. You play right into the hands with this. You know that these are. >> Then throughout the interview, Kristen Walker was asking him some pretty basic questions about this catastrophic war in Iran. And then Donald Trump would be like Iran's going to blow you up with nuclear weapons.

Meet the press is going to get hit with nukes. Meet the press is going to get hit with nukes. What are you talking about?

Your own intelligence community said that Iran didn't have the nuclear capabilities when you and Netanyahu invited. Now you're saying they're going to do meet the press. You're playing this clip. And the threat is largely over soon it will be over, but you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon or they will blow you up. There will be no Kristen. There will be no NBC. There will be no meet the press. You will end the meet the press strength. >> Let me ask you though.

>> Then Donald Trump has asked about his promise that he would not have America get into new wars.

And Trump goes, I don't promise that. I don't promise anything. I've never made promises about nothing.

Okay, here play this clip. >> So when you say I promise, I didn't promise anything. I don't like these endless wars. This is not an endless war. We've been doing this for three months. Much of it has been under the form of pretty good form of ceasefire.

The blockade has been amazing. Our navy is amazing. Our military is the best in the world. Hey, we took over a very powerful country. Venezuela, very a lot of soldiers, big strong militia. We took over Venezuela in a matter of minutes. We destroyed the capability of Iran in a matter of days. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Now I'm going to finish it.

But remember, you were in the end. >> And then he goes, the reason I won the election is that I have good judgment. I'm a good judgment person. I know how to close deals. And if they don't do the deal with me, I'm going to blow them the hell up.

I'm going this guy. I mean, he's always unhinged. This is as unhinged as we've ever seen him before.

And that's saying something folks here play this clip. >> I could judgment. Do I want to go along and have a country that's doing really well,

but somebody is going to try and kill us or do I want to put out that horrible threat?

And I did. I put it out. I put it out for many, many years. Now I'm going to put it out permanently. I'm going to do it either through negotiation where we're very close to a deal. >> And then Christian Walker says, OK, you keep talking about deals. Do you wish you would have made a deal during your first term after you ripped up Obama's deal?

OK, easy to destroy a deal. Difficult to make one. You say you're a deal maker. Why didn't you make one during your first term? Listen, you want to know why? It takes a long time to do deals. OK, well, you had your entire first term. OK, and then you had right now. You had two years to do a deal right now. And you decided to invade.

You did Operation Midnight Hammer, whatever the hell you called it. Where you said their nuclear material was obliterated. Right here play this clip. >> Is it you promised that you were going to negotiate a better deal.

Do you think you've done it in your first term when you ripped it up at that before you ripped it up?

>> No, they weren't ready. No, this is much better. This is much better. >> I would have done it in my first term. Israel wouldn't have been ready. Hear that sound. That sound thunder, lightning.

>> Is that going to interrupt, guys? >> No. >> OK, people. >> More from Kristen Walker right here about pressing him. You said you would have a new deal after you ripped up Obama's.

You claimed you're the best negotiator. So where is it?

And I think this is what was really getting under his skin.

Because you were saying you're not a good deal maker without saying it. But just asking him where is your deal? By the way, where is any of your deals? Where are your trade deals? Where are the 90 deals in 90 days that you promised?

Where is one deal in writing? Is there any deal? No, because he's a liar and he's a fraud. You're playing this clip. >> A nuclear weapon five years ago.

>> But Mr. President, I'm curious because when you are campaigning, you said you would rip up the Iran nuclear deal. But negotiate a better deal. >> I didn't negotiate a better deal at the time. Because after it was ripped up, there were guardrails.

And they escalated their production of enriched jewelry. >> It takes years to do these things. These people have been fighting for 47 years. They've been killing Americans. They've been taking off their legs and their arm and their faces have been heard so badly.

It's so horrible. I'm moving very fast. I'm into three months. Vietnam lasted 19 years. I'm into my third month.

And all I do is say, what are you going to win? If I were a Democrat, nobody would be talking that way. But it doesn't matter to me.

I've gotten so used to it.

Look.

>> Then he goes and he praises the Iatola.

And he's like the Iatola is a very strong, powerful man.

Much respect, much respect. I mean, we are literally watching Donald Trump. Just decompose. Like watching a lunatic right now. Okay, so you love the Iatola now.

After saying, you're going to blow him the how up. You realize that the whole world just recognizes that you're an absolute psychopath. You're a play this clip. But no, I think that. We'll either have something done fairly quickly or we'll finish it out

Minult militarily. Are you talking about the son of the supreme? Well, he's not been seen in public.

What is his status of you talking to him directly?

I do believe they have great respect for him.

I see it. I mean, they want to get his concurrence.

They've said to me, they've said to others. They're looking for approval. And he is part of the approval process. Absolutely. Have you spoken to him directly?

He said one of me. No, I have no. I would have he'd like to. But I am not spoken to him directly. Do you know where he is?

They tell you they tell you he is. Yeah. They do pay homage to him. I would tell you if they didn't. They seem to, based on what I see, they seem to respect him.

A great deal. Do you know where he is? Do you know how he is doing physically? I don't want to say whether or not I know where he is. But there's a good probability that I do.

Is he inside or on? I'd rather not say that. Okay. He is the son of that.

What was the game plan to do what you did with Kim Jong-un of North Korea?

Send them love letters. You're respected. You're beloved. You're an amazing guy. Okay. Well, want to see what North Korea was doing today while Donald Trump was doing that interview.

North Korean state media published this. A new report on Kim Jong-un inspecting a local defense plant and its fulfillment of ballistic missile production plans

for the first half of 2026.

The current scale of his swassong 11 ballistic missile production is huge. And they keep bragging about their nuclear weapons every day. The whole world sees Donald Trump's weakness. Donald Trump claimed, oh, we got a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Donald Trump is viewed as the weakest person in Netanyahu continues to pull the United States back into open hostilities with Iran.

Moments ago, we learned that there were targeted assassinations by Israel. In bay roots, diea district. And Iran considered said this before. You attack bay root. That's our bright line.

We will then be attacking Israel to which Israel will then ramp up attacks on Lebanon and Iran. And then then then the open hostilities begin. This is exactly what Netanyahu was trying to do when he was invading tire and sir and all these other areas. And escalating after the initial ceasefire was announced. Unilaterally, I might have had my Donald Trump whatever was a month and a half ago or two months ago.

And here we're seeing the images right here. Israel has just launched air strikes on his bullet arguments in bay root acting on direct orders from Netanyahu per IDF. Iran has warned it will directly strike Israel if Netanyahu carried out this exact strike. We're now hearing from Iran's parliament. I might add one of Iranian parliament members says we will deliver a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regimes attack on diea.

These rabid dogs must be disciplined and put back in their place. Look at the sky over the occupied lands tonight. Expect Iranian strikes in Israel, expect Israel to retaliate against Iran and it looks like full fledge war is back. Because we're looking at Donald Trump's absolute weakness right there and being dragged into this war by Netanyahu. Also to cover up the Epstein files, which nobody wants us to talk about right now.

I mean, I was looking this morning at this article from Ground News. Nancy Mace knows her Epstein votes screwed her. I was just looking at the media distribution of who's even covering this. And I should note that coverage is down generally on Trump's cover up of the Epstein files. Except here on the Midas Touch Network where I'm bringing it up now just to make sure you all know about it. But like very few when I look at the data and analyze it here, right wing media sources at all cover anything Epstein.

Just a full fledge kind of cover up by Donald Trump's propaganda media. By the way, it's why this morning and all mornings when I do my research, I use Ground News. It's an app that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story. To show you how the left, how the center, how the right are framing stories differently. For every story, the color coded layout makes it easy to see political bias of each source.

I can filter for high factuality sources and see which sources are independently owned or owned by large media conglomerates with corporate issues. In corporate interest, so for example, I just looked at this Epstein story and saw a very little right wing media was covering it.

Ground News has this dedicated blind spot feed that I find important when I p...

In how I'm doing my coverage for you, I believe in Ground News so much we're going to be offering you 40% off.

Now back to Donald Trump's interview with Kristen Welker right here. Kristen Welker said, "Okay, will any deal with Iran include the release of Americans who may still be held by Iran right now? Is it going to include that?" And then Donald Trump's like, "Yeah, we know it knows the list. We don't have the list. There's no list. Did you ask for the list? Is that part of your knowledge that would you like to know that answer? Here, play this clip." Will any deal you make include the release of Americans who are being held by Iran?

Well, we talk about it and we'll see, nobody really has an accurate list of who they are, what they are, or if they're being held. But if they're, we've been talking about it. Nobody really has a list, you know that, right? You know you're asking me about it. Nobody has a list. But are you demanding a list of demanding to know that? I'm saying, "Yes, of course." I mean, you know people that we're talking about. If you give me the names, I'll do my best to get them right.

I don't think that's been reported. I don't think it's all of the people who have been held. All I'm saying is that if you have a list of names, give them to me and I will get them. But is it something you talked to them about? We talked about people if they have them, but nobody knows who they are, just like you don't know who they are. You have more Donald Trump praising the eye at all, though. Let's play it.

Okay, he is the son of the last Supreme Leader who was obviously hard-liner.

Is this younger, community any better for the United States than his father was?

Younger, I think more rational, injured. It's pretty badly injured. So there's a certain bravery there. A lot of people, if they were injured, that badly they wouldn't be talking about, you know, that we're doing with the United States and other things on their mind. So there's a certain bravery there, but he is very seriously injured, yeah. And then Christian Walker's like, okay, well, what about?

Okay, if you're saying we're not at war, everything's great. Would you consider bringing back some of the 50,000 troops that you sent to the Middle East? Then why don't you bring the troops home? It costs me very little to keep them there. And we may use them. I don't know what I'm going to do with them here playing this clip.

Is every even envisioned? I think we're doing a great job. But so are you saying you would consider sending some of the troops home? Sir, some of the 50,000 troops were sent there as a part of operation. That's very serious. It costs us very little to keep them there.

I don't consider them in danger. We're the best defense anyone's ever seen. We're the best offense anyone's ever seen. So I don't consider danger. I would say it'd be fool-hearted to do that because maybe we may use them.

It's unlikely, but I think we'll keep them there until such time as we have a completion.

And when we have a completion, you will see things like you've never seen the world will go down.

Christian Walker, let's talk farmers. You spoken Wisconsin recently. 70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer at all. What do you say to them here play this clip? Gas is up, diesel is up. It's all coming down as soon as the war is up.

70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer. What's your message to say very well? Let me ask you, what is your message to farmers? Many who support you, but we say they're struggling. We say they're struggling.

Because there's nobody better to come. Here I gave farmers less term.

$28 billion because China took advantage and other people.

And you know, paid for China. And then finally, let me just show you one last time Donald Trump storming off at the end. And how utterly bizarre that was. I'll show this to you. Let's play it one more time.

I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time.

I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time.

I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time.

I'll show you one more time. I'll show you one more time.
