Donald Trump is panicking this morning and he is trying to create a false fla...

inside the straight of horror moves to justify and even more massive escalation of United States

troops and the United States military attacking Iran that me break down what is taking place

right now. As I'm sure you know from my earlier report this morning, Donald Trump has now cancelled all of his events in the White House for the next three days and that follows him canceling all events yesterday and shutting down all of his meetings from the press. What we're seeing take place on the satellite footage right by the straight of horror moves right by the Persian Gulf. We're seeing these U.S. super carriers, the USS Abraham Lincoln and we're seeing the

USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier very close to Iran closer than it's ever been since Donald

Trump launched this catastrophic war against Iran with Netanyahu about four months ago which

Trump said he was going to resolve in just a few days like a miracle was all going to go away just

like COVID right. So take a look right here. Molo monitor was able to identify on a sentinel to satellite over here. These U.S. aircraft carriers. Here's the USS Abraham Lincoln. Here is the USS George H.W. Bush. Look how close they are. We're talking about 200 and 50 kilometers away, 220 kilometers away from Chabahar in Iran. And so it seems clear to me what Donald Trump is trying to

do is create another Gulf of Tonkin incident, Allah the Vietnam War as he gets more and more desperate.

Because one of the things we're seeing and you know that I've been talking about this over and over again, it's that crack price, the spread between the crude market which is being manipulated by the Trump regime and being shorted in my opinion so that it's like $72 a barrel, $71 a barrel, as contrasted to the price of the refineries. So that difference is called the crack price. So I'm sure you're seeing right now gas prices either remaining the same or gas prices are going

up. Yet Donald Trump is manipulating the crude market and Trump thinks I manipulate the paper market for crude that that's going to result in cheaper prices and I can take credit for it at the pump. That's not the way it works because the refineries kind of see what's going on and it's a basic supply and demand issue as Patrick DeHonic explains that escalated quickly. The national average right

now for gas. That's what you and I pay when we have to fill up our car. The paper market of crude

is not what we pay when we can't afford our gas. That's the issue right here. The national average is now $3.85 a gallon as oil prices are now rising and this is also not just the straight of poor moves but one thing I've been talking about the escalation between Russia and Ukraine with Russia's escalation of key. Ukraine responding by striking the Russian oil refineries and that also adds of course to less supply of the crude and of the oil. And so it's a basic supply and demand.

I note that you can see the price of crude go down but as I've said that's being manipulated and it's not it's actually what we're seeing at the pump. The costs are increasing. Now my view that Donald Trump is also trying to create this false flag, Gulf of Tunken situation, a lot of the Vietnam War. It was also in heat but one. He makes very basic moves. He makes very it's kind of very obvious to me what he does and I proud that the mightest touching that work can

just kind of call this stuff out and be ahead of it the same way we've been talking about the crack prices and the thing that I've been as you know, raising the red flag as Donald Trump's now doing false flags. The red flag that I've been raising is I've been saying look the strategic petroleum reserves are hitting functional tank bottom. So we're now seven to eight days away for like tank bottom like no more in terms of the ability of the strategic petroleum reserve

to really function at the level needed which would then result in kind of massive shortages, massive kind of gas lines. It would become you know truly catastrophic. So I think Donald

Trump was like okay if I bomb Iran these this past week maybe they're going t...

that's your lesson from the catastrophic war. You think they're just going to like give up of

course they're not going to and now he's getting desperate and so he needs to kind of create

this pretext for and all out war as we get closer to functional tank bottom and tank bottom of the strategic reserves as the oil price is now going the gas price that you pay from the refineries to you know the place where you go fill up that's going up. So he needs something right he needs and what he needs is an escalation of the war but he needs in his own Trumpy in way. His excuse he needs to basically hang his hat on something the same way it's reflecting

will the bandals ripped it apart. So he needs to say the Iranians attacked the USS aircraft carrier

the George H. W. Bush. They attacked the USS Abraham Lincoln. Here's what Trump posted this morning.

Let me go over with you. He goes the Islamic Republic of Iran this is what he posted this morning early. The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue talks and he puts that in quote we have agreed to do so but the United States has stated to them in no uncertain terms that the ceasefire is over exclamation point. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump. Now of course he's lying about Iran. They're not asking for talks. Donald Trump

is trying to use any type of fabricated negotiations to buy time I think to implement this plan that he wants to implement you know where he's going to put the blockade on again and try to bait Iran into attacking these aircraft carriers these super carriers and whether Iran does it or whether Iran doesn't do it. Donald Trump's going to say well look everybody they attacked us. So now we need to invade Iran and we need to attack Iran and that's why the strategic reserve

is down. That's why the gas prices are back up. Iran did it. Look they attacked our carriers

to me that's what he's setting this up for. Now again I think this also comes at a time where we know

that Netanyahu has been in Donald Trump's ear right. He's been calling Donald Trump up and saying Iran wants to assassinate you that they've developed plans to kill you. There's other reporting that now Donald Trump has said to some of his advisors I have a plan that if they kill me you need to bomb the hell out of them and destroy the civilization that was leaked out today as well. But I think Netanyahu was also probably telling Donald Trump about how to do these kind of false

flag type of plans and clearly I think that's being coordinated. Trump went back to Barack Reveed his personal stenographer over at Axios you know is a reporter but he basically just

writes down whatever Donald Trump tells him to write down. Here's what Barack Reveed says.

Cotoring negotiators have traveled to Iran in coordination with the United States

to meet with Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate the situation and create the conditions

for negotiations to resume according to a diplomat with knowledge of the visit. The diplomat said meetings in Tehran between Qatari and Iranian officials are still ongoing but that it's clear that both sides want to come back to the memorandum of understanding. Barack Reveed also repost Qatari Pakistani Turkish Egyptian and Saudi officials have conducted multiple phone calls on Wednesday with both the U.S. and Iranian officials in an

effort to calm down the situation sources said. If you look at the straight of Hormuz right now

you'll see that there are basically no ships moving out at all certainly not through that

southern lane that the United States tried to open. Some ships exiting through the IRGC lane but clearly traffic there is coming to a major halt and this as the strategic reserves in the United States continue to be depleted. You have statements from Israel. War is not over. Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. The war is not over. The war is not over. Defense Minister of Israel. We will strike around with even greater force if it deems necessary. The campaign is not over.

So it's obvious to me what they are setting up for. And just for those who are like Benu keeps saying Gulf of Tunken Gulf of Tunken you know what are you referring to? And I'm referring to the incident in the Gulf of Tunken where the U.S. destroyer USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy were there. They reported that they were attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats and that there was this attack. They claimed to have been fired upon but it was later proven that the attack did not occur and that

was ultimately used by Lyndon B. Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in order to

Escalate after a Gulf of Tunken resolution was issued.

incident over in August of 1964 to the Persian Gulf incident it seems to be pretty clear that

that's where they're headed. I want to pivot for a second now and talk to you as Donald Trump is

obviously frantic and flailing internationally. I just want to share with you kind of domestically what's going down. Also right now Donald Trump posted the following message this morning. He said I will not sign the housing bill which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House in protest over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing the Save America Act which is pulling at 97% with the Republican Party and very high with the non-political

Democrats. The act states quite simply that a vote that to vote a person must show voter ID proof of citizenship and there will be no more crooked corrupt and destabilizing mail in balance. Also know that Donald Trump votes by mail. I think that's worth noting. It's a voter suppression bill that Donald Trump wants past and just think about what a immature, destructive human that he is that finally when Congress comes together for a bipartisan bill housing affordability to try to make

housing more affordable for the American people who are suffering. I'm not signing that I refuse to sign that I'm protesting it now. It will automatically become law if he doesn't veto it later. So you know it will become law but the fact that that's made him so angry housing affordability. Remember back in 2024 where he killed the bipartisan immigration bill as well, which would have enhanced border security in a safe appropriate and compassionate way and also

provided a path was by partisan and provided a path way for citizenship for people who have been here, working, not committing crimes, not engaged in bad activity, paying taxes and would have helped

our economy. Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly came together and Donald Trump always kills

these bipartisan bills. But as we get closer to the midterms, you've got Donald Trump and Maga wanting to divide America on just about everything and so they'll make it about it. It's communism. This communism that's associated with. They're trying to destroy our country. They're trying to kill us. This is worse than the Nazis in World War II. This is worse than that. That's

what Trump is saying. And that's why it's important that we have a accurate media diet right now.

And so I'll give you just an example right now. Here's an article that talks about how the EPA, environmental protection agency and others, says that maha agenda is ongoing but there's not a single report about it whatsoever. And so you dig deeper and you go away to minute. There's no right-wing media coverage on this at all. That the EPA says maha agenda is ongoing but there's not a single report on it and it's been covered mostly by the left and mostly by the center. Media

and you realize, wow, there's just a lot of suppression of what's actually happening in media reporting. I just find that fascinating. I often get asked, well Ben, how do you do your reporting every morning? And I say, you know, I want to make sure I'm giving you perspectives from what

everybody out there is saying. And I always want to give you the objective facts and not really

give you editorializing or up and try to get to the objective dam facts here. So that's why I

partnered with Ground News for this episode. They're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. It's an app and website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how the left center and right are framing stories differently. For every story, the color coded layout makes it easy to see the political bias at each source. I can filter for high-factuality sources and see which sources are independently owned.

Our owned by large media conglomerate corporate interest. This lets you compare the reporting on the same issue in one place so you can come to your own conclusions like the article that I just shared with you about the EPA saying the Mahatagenda is ongoing but there's not a single report on it, no one on the right wing is covering it. And so I use Ground News is dedicated blind spot feed to highlight that bias and I can then determine who's covering what? Because I believe in ground

news so much we're going to offer you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. Just go click the link in the description or go to ground.News/mtn or scan the QR code up here.

Magas are pushing right now.

Maga Warriors heading into the midterms play this clip.

All what happens when the Democrats can control like the shutdown. They're going to have investigations.

They're going to obstruct. They're going to peach. It's going to be total chaos. They don't want to move the country forward. Trump to rangement syndrome is real. America to rangement syndrome is real. We have to win. And so we need everybody go to jub.com. Give us your time and treasure. We have to move this country forward. We have to let these maga warriors across the country to defeat these socialists that are being elected on the left. We can do it but we need everybody

to help. More from him right here. This is more from RNC chair Joe Grooters right here. And you can see how panicked and frantic they are. Let's play it. We need to have Maga Warriors in place to move the president's agenda. We need to pass the state of America act. We need to push the president's agenda by electing these maga warriors. If we don't, the president's agenda is over. We'll spend two years fighting with the Democrats. We're not

back. And then notably you have the state department spokesperson Tommy Pigget talking about

renewed hostilities in Iran going back to what I was saying earlier that would I believe to be this

kind of false flag operation that the Trump regime is trying to pull right here. And you know, he's basically saying the objectives remain as clear as ever when it comes to it. What do you mean

clear you, you've never explained what the objectives are. So I don't not sure how they are

clear as ever. Here's what Grooters. Here's what the state department spokesperson Tommy Pigget rather has to say play this clip. I want to get you on this because I've got you for a moment here. Apparently there are negotiators out of Qatar that have landed in Iran about a few hours ago and some sort of negotiation is now underway. What can you tell us after two nights of bombing in Iran this week? What I can tell us is that the objective remains as clear as ever. That is what

is so clear. And President Trump from the very beginning saying the Iranian regime cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Of course from the beginning of this administration, he has preferred a deal. He is a deal maker. He is a peacemaker. But there's an untenable threat to allow the Iranian regime to have a nuclear weapon. And then there's something that President Trump will not allow to have. And other presidents made that promise. President Trump is taking action to make sure

that the Iranian regime can ever have. Okay. Are we going back to war or have we stepped away from it

for now? Well, I think all of this goes back to that objective. So what we're going to see is a

president that is going to make sure that our objective here is fulfilled. He has been clear. One we are another. The Iranian regime won't have a nuclear weapon. And that is the action that he is taking. Okay, Tommy Pigget State Department. Thanks for coming on. A lot to cover. Appreciate your time. And so we'll keep you posted here on the Midas Touch Network every step of the way. I really want to flag what's happening with these ships, with these carriers that have been

moved very close to Iran. Well, Donald Trump, I think they're also saying there's going to be talks in Switzerland soon as well. They're going to be having more negotiations in Switzerland. I, that's when Donald Trump uses that as often the time to pull these stunts and schemes. So
