As Donald Trump continues to close off the White House to the press, his morn...
even worse. Here's what we are learning. The Houthis were able to successfully shoot down a
“Saudi Arabian F-15E. You have Houthis soldiers posing in front of this F-15E that they shot down.”
Of course, that's aircraft provided to Saudi Arabia by the United States. Also, the Houthis have announced that they were able to successfully strike Saudi Arabia's Yanbu facility in Western Saudi Arabia causing more oil disruption into the global market. Also, we learned that the Houthis were able to shoot down yet another Saudi drone, likely provided by the United States. Military, the oil markets are getting even more problematic. And that's an understatement. Let me just
share with you the footage right now of the Houthis posing in front of the F-15E they shot down.
This is fairly incredible footage right over here. Let's play this clip.
Now, if the Houthis have the capability to shoot down F-15E, let's be clear. Iran definitely has the capabilities to do the same. It should also be noted this morning that we learned that the Trump regime was covering up the fact that Iran struck a US contracted oil tanker with US troops on board around the strait of Hormuz earlier in the week.
“Remember when Iran said they did it and said calm denied it? Well, guess what,”
said calm was lying again. So using four drones and at least one missile, one projectile where aware of directly hit the tanker and caused injuries to our troops, smoke inhalation and potentially other injuries that are still being covered up per usual. And this is something that we will continue to be following here with all of this taking place. US energy secretary Chris Wright went on state regime media this morning. The propaganda is so utterly outrageous while the American
people are suffering really badly. Chris Wright's message and he's the energy secretaries in Trump's cabinet. He said thank God we have Donald Trump. We're doing so good right now. They are all con artists watch for yourself. Play this clip. Are you worried about the refineries? They've been
“running for months that full tilt how they need maintenance. We do and thank God we have President”
Trump with some common sense on energy. We're doing everything we can to help refineries expand their capacity. President Trump is aggressively deploying the US military. More from Chris Wright here. Donald Trump's energy secretary, he's asked, "Would you be brave enough to put a timeline on when these gas prices are going to come down?" I can't predict Iranian behavior. He says, "Okay, what about your behavior? What about the Trump regime's behavior?" You and Netanyahu were the ones who
invaded Iran here. Watch this for yourself. It's so pathetic. Play this clip. Do you be brave enough to put a timeline on when they come down? I certainly can't predict Iranian behavior. I'm more from Chris Wright. He says, "Yeah, you know, this is the sacrifice. We as Americans have to pay. This is what we have to pay for being strong. We don't want this sacrifice. This is not a sacrifice that we want. We don't want to be in this catastrophic war. Here, play this clip."
But in the conflict, yes, this is taken some energy resources out of the marketplace. It is causing a short term sacrifice for Americans right now. But this is to end Iran's ability to forever drive up energy prices. Meanwhile, you have Iran's parliament leader,
MB Gallabov, basically the top civilian leader, posting the following. Straits,
Taylor rule, and it provides this formula. I'll explain it in a moment. MB Gallabov is a PhD, and Professor Gallabov to some. He goes, "Let's see if a hike referring to the interest rate hikes that are likely to happen, which most people believe will happen shortly." But we'll see. Let's see if an interest rate hike could open these straightive hormones, or produce a single barrel. You can't 25 basis points, a choke point,
and R isn't neutral. It's straightive hormones risk premium. And we said it. Stay unankered, just so you know the formula he's posting. The Taylor rule is a formula central banks use to guide interest rates. Gallabov rewrote it to argue that U.S. inflation can no longer be
Managed by interest rates alone because, in essence, Iran is now supplanting ...
through their control over the straightive hormones, and although not in his formula,
through the Houthis control of the Red Sea and the Babel Mondab straight. At the same time, we're also seeing earlier today. You have Iran's foreign minister, Iraqchi, meeting with China's foreign minister, Wang Yi in Beijing. You can see the meeting taking place here. You know, last week or was it earlier this week? You had tried them earlier this week. You had Treasury Secretary Bessent say, "We're doing the tip line." And so if you know anybody who's helping Iran or cooperating
with Iran, they need to call into this tip line and let us know and then we're going to impose real serious sanctions for our economic day. Right? So you have Iran's foreign minister meeting with China's foreign minister Wang Yi talking about improving and increasing economic cooperation. So what's the Trump regime doing? Are they going to take action against China? Of course not. You have Donald Trump this morning doing rehearsals with our troops at the White House
for how they need to stand at attention and salute President Xi of China when he visits. They're doing rehearsals so Donald Trump can have all of the pump and circumstance for Xi's
“visit. So our soldiers can basically honor Xi. That's what's going on at the White House right now.”
I'll show you the images of that. You could see the B-roll right here. One candidate we recently hired what our attention by not only showing us that they were qualified but that they were motivated and believed in what we do. That extra effort really stood out.

“zipper cruder. So with all of this going on, do you think Congress is going to do anything about it?”
Do you think the House of Representatives? Well, they passed a war powers resolution yesterday, seven Republicans joined with Democrats. I did a video on it earlier to say that this is a war without authorization. So that was at least a public review, although it doesn't sadly have the force to stop the catastrophic war because the Trump regime is a rogue authoritarian regime. But with all of this taking place, and you all saw the congressional hearings yesterday, right,
where Cash Patel got chewed up and spit out Treasury Secretary Bessin got chewed up and spit out and just expose the other fraud of this Trump regime. So as I predicted yesterday, Lala. Magamike Johnson pulled the plug on the remaining days this week in the House of Representatives. It's being shut down. They're going into recess and they will not be returning until after the election. Surprise, surprise, but we did know that the U.S. may have to do a full ban on diesel exports
right now as the fuel shortage, as the diesel shortage, as the supply shock will ravage the United States while Congress is back in their home districts, chillin, having a grand old time, laughing in our faces while they refuse to do the work and while they continue to cover up child sex trafficking rings. Few other data points I want to give you this morning. Donald Trump's
“last post was about 14 hours ago. What the disloyal leaks about Iran prove about Trump?”
I think it proves what we knew without the leaks, Donald, that you're a pathetic loser and you bankrupt a things your whole damn life. And now you're doing that with the military in the United States. You're malicious and a loser and incompetent and literally a psychotic individual. And so I think that's what the leaks confirm. And then you have factory public and Congress members
Representative Stutsman from Indiana.
to Europe where he's going to be speaking at the European Union State of the Union address over
there and we're talking about Canada getting associate member status, essentially creating this role, Canada and the European Union together. Don't worry everybody, because the Maori public in Indiana representative is saying we don't need to trade with Canada anymore. We've got Israel and Netanyahu everybody. That's literally what he said. We got Israel and Netanyahu everybody. Watch what he says play this clip. Is one of the largest export markets for your state, my home state.
If Canada starts buying less of what you're selling, is that going to be, is that going to hurt your
“constituents? Good morning, Kate. Great to be with you. You know, I think it's a terrible decision”
by Canada to appear appearances look like they're trying to walk away. And I think that if
they want to join the European Union, nothing wrong with them trying to develop trade partnerships with the European Union. But during this context with negotiations with the United States, I think it's a bad decision. European Union, especially Western Europe, has been on the decline. And so why Canada wants to attach themselves to that? I don't understand it. I think that, you know, for Indiana, we are a heavy manufacturing state. There is a lot of trade
between Indiana and Canada. But we have other markets. We have other countries that are coming to Indiana and saying we want to do business here. Israel is one of those. They just announced a big announcement a couple of weeks ago with the governor of Indiana related to agriculture a project there. So there's new opportunities for Indiana. I'd much rather be in our shoes on trade than in cannabis. And I want to give a shout out to Congresswoman Bady, who is one of the
ex officio members of the Kennedy Board. And she's been the one suing Donald Trump to block all of his unlawful actions with the Kennedy Center. Here's how she described Donald Trump's behavior yesterday when he called the Kennedy Board and threw a toddler tantrum. No offense to toddlers. Because toddler tantrums are far more mature than Donald Trump's behavior right here. Let's play this
“clip. I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he”
used. He threw a tantrum. It was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child. It was just being very in my opinion, very immature, shouting, calling names, stating facts. He doesn't really know anything about me. And I looked to the board and said, "Are we really
going to do this? This is very unfair." Finally, let me debunk some disinformation out there as well.
There have been videos circulating about how the hoothees were launching drones over Mecca. And this was being used by NBS and allies of NBS and the Trump regime in Netanyahu to say, "The hoothees are now doing a religious war against NBS and they're attacking the Sunnis and watch what's happening over there. Look, they're attacking Mecca." Okay, folks, folks. The video that's circulating is not Mecca. It's Medina and it's from 2025, not 2026. And so you have a
hoothe leader saying claims of targeting Mecca. Al Muka Rama are nauseating. It's a nauseating lie that was already worn out before. Oh, widows of Jeffrey Epstein, fight like men if you are men. And that's one of the Osarawa hoothe political bureau leaders, right? They're calling NBS out for his Epstein connections. But I do find it interesting that you have NBS meeting with Sentcom Commander Brad Cooper and Masad leadership in Saudi Arabia, right? I'm not a conspiracy.
That's actually what's been happening over the past few days. And part of their plan is to say that the hoothees were striking Mecca and then release the photo of Medina from 2025 to turn this
“into... They were attacking our religion. That's what they're doing. And you have the hoothe saying,”
"You look, you want to fight? Let's fight." Look what we did with the F-15. Let's fight. You know, let's fight. It's an interesting dynamic. That's, that's in play right now. That's the morning. We'll keep you updated with more here on the Midas Touch Network. Did you check out the interview I just did with Colin Kaepernick? I hope you found that interview to be fascinating. And check out all the other videos from this morning. We've got a busy day ahead of us folks.
