2:23Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is just digging his grave and getting the karma he deserves heading into the midterms. MAGA Republican Congress members are terrified to be seen next to him on the stage at that so-called midterm convention event that Donald Trump wanted to hold so badly in Dallas, Texas, September 9th and September 10th. MS now caught up with these MAGA Republicans like, are you going to show up? Watch what unfolded as they're like, nope, I got something, got something. Here, play this clip. Are you going to the midterm convention? No, I'm going to be in my district. We're going to win. Yeah. I'm still TVD.

3:04We actually are trying to work out our schedule right now. No, no, no, I'm not going to go to the convention. Yeah. Thank you. Do you want to go? I will. I want to be in my district. Yeah. So we'll see. Okay. Why would you rather be in your district? I always want to be in my district. It's very rare that I go outside of my district. Are you planning to go to the midterm convention next week? I'm not. Tell me why. Uh, my son's getting married in Greece. Congratulations. Destination Wayne. So I have a good excuse, right? I want to get there, but I've got a few things on my son's playing high school football.

3:32And I promised him I would not miss any of his game.

3:34Ben Meiselas:And then even more MAGA Republican Congress members who were caught on camera saying they would not be attending the so-called Trumpapalooza MAGA Republican midterm convention in Dallas on September 9th and September 10th. This time, the CNN cameras caught these MAGA Republican Congress members saying it. Let's play this clip. Are you planning to go to the Republican convention next week? I'm planning to be in my district. Are you going to the Republican convention next week? Thinking about it. Are you going to the Republican convention next week? I have to be in the district because I have events.

4:08I would love to go. I was thinking about it. I'm going to miss out on something important, but I cannot be in two places at the same time.

4:16Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump made them show up at the White House last night and he gave one of the most deranged speeches to them as well. He was like, but you need to all do. You need to run on just say Donald Trump over and over again because the American people love what I do. Isn't that right? Here play this clip. because with what we've done in just a short period of time, a year and a half, nobody's ever seen it before. There's never been anything like it. And all you have to do is talk about it and you're going to win and you're going to win big. So I want to thank you all. I thank the media for.

4:54Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump is refusing to spend like any significant amount of money from the MAGA Inc. PAC, his political action committee, where he raises all of that money from elderly people and MAGA extreme sycophants when he's like, I love you. Do you love me? Rush$1 ,000 immediately to me. He's like not deploying the money and all the MAGA's like, dude, what the hell? You're not gonna spend this money on anything. But he is doing an ad devoted to himself through his pack. Have you seen this? He wants this to air and it's just like Donald Trump. And he sounds so weak and sickly in this thing.

5:32Ben Meiselas:This is the, he's not even doing a significant spend. And as I've said, he's going to hoard most of that$450 million. But watch this deranged ad that he just dropped play this clip. He is the toughest, most resilient person that I've ever met. And nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves. When the world needs courage, vision, and inspiration, it is still turning to America. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome. No frontier too vast for us to conquer. We will be prosperous. We will be proud. We will be strong and we will win like never before. And then this is what he says about Ken Paxton, the MAGA Republican, Texas AG, who's running against James Tallarico.

6:23Ben Meiselas:This is Trump's endorsement of Paxton. I kid you not. He's like, Like Paxton, you might not like the way he dresses or how he looks or how he talks or what he says or anything about him. But he helped me. Here, watch what he says here. Play this clip. And we're going to go to Texas and work for Ken Paxton, who's a great guy. I mean, so Ken Paxton, you might not like the way he dresses. And I say this, it's so insulting to him, but I might as well say it. You might not like the way he looks. You might not love his look. You might not love his television interviews, but he was the best attorney general in the country, perhaps.

7:02He was one of the best in the entire country. And that speaks a lot louder than the suit he's wearing that doesn't look so great or than anything, frankly. He was maybe the best attorney and everybody admits it. He was a great attorney general in Texas.

7:19Ben Meiselas:A ringing endorsement there, Donald. And then, dude, Donald Trump is, you want to know who's a freaking freako? It's Donald Trump is a deranged, demented, lunatic, psycho, criminal predator freako, by the way. Donald Trump's like, and James Tallarico, we call him Tala Creepo. Trump goes, do you know why we call him Tala Creepo? Because now he says he loves meat. But what he really does is he eats the meat, then he vomits it all over himself in the backyard. Dude, what world are you living in, you sicko? He vomits it on himself in the back. Is it Donald Trump saying, this man needs to be put in a straight jacket and put a 5150 involuntary hold on this demented psychopath predator?

8:06Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip of Trump. He was a great attorney general in Texas, and he's running against Tala Cripo. And this guy was, he has that name for a reason. He's a he's terrible. He's radical left. Now he says he loves meat. You know what he does? He eats meat and he goes outside and he throws up all over the place. Because in Texas, if you don't eat meat, you're in deep trouble. It's not a good thing not to be able to eat meat. He was wearing a mask six months ago. He had a mask on when somebody is wearing a mask six months ago. You're in deep trouble. Right, Pete? You did a good job last night in Iran, by the way.

8:45You knocked the hell out of him.

8:47Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump's like, I don't wear a wig. Okay, here, play this clip. Went up to the speaker and it was blowing so hard, so hard that actually, you know, for years I had to suffer with people saying, he wears a wig, I don't wear a wig. And then he's like, dumb, do you know how to spell it? You put this letter in this letter and people are surprised it has a B, you remove the B. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. If you replace the E with a U, instead of Democrat, you have Democrat. And most people don't know that dumb has a B at the end. You know, they think it's D-U-M and that's okay.

9:26So it's a one letter change and you go, no more E, you just put a D and you got a Democrat.

9:33Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump's like, but what's important that we all know is our country is respected again. Everybody respects us. And Trump's like, Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping, he respects us so much. He's going to come and see the golden ballroom soon. Here, play this clip. Our country is respected again. We're respected like never before. I go to meetings and everyone stands up. They didn't stand up for our last president. They didn't care about him. They didn't care. They laughed at him. But our country is respected again. And when President Xi comes in two weeks, he respects America now. He didn't respect us.

10:12he laughed at us. He thought we were a bunch of fools.

10:15Ben Meiselas:So with your help, we'll continue to. Really? He respects us so much. I'll tell you where he is right now. Xi Jinping just left the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting in Kyrgyzstan, and now he's in Egypt with President al-Sisi over there. He just launched military exercises with Egypt in the Middle East, over there in Egypt, in the region, and flew over Middle East nations. And then one of the things that he did yesterday is China blocked the resolution at the G20 summit, talking about how the Strait of Hormuz should be open for trade and commerce. And so your buddy Xi Jinping was one of the people who voted against the U.S.

10:57Ben Meiselas:proposal on the Strait of Hormuz. But I guess that's your bud, Donald. And then who else is your bud? Russia? Russia's your bud because the Russian finance minister was in Asheville, North Carolina, the same summit where China voted against Trump's Strait of Hormuz resolution. And none of the European countries would hang out with the Russian finance minister. but Treasury Secretary Besant was. And he's like, look at my buddy, the Russian finance minister. And meanwhile, all of the reporting is like, Russia is helping Iran with all of their new weapons. And by the way, Russia isn't hiding it. Putin said yesterday or two days ago at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, meaning in Kyrgyzstan, our economic cooperation will be robust and strong.

11:43Ben Meiselas:And Marco, we're going to invest in your nuclear capabilities, Iran. That's what Putin said yesterday. He said, we're going to, they're doing nuclear facilities together. Here's what Marco Rubio said though, about Russia helping Iran. And just look at the language, like Rubio's so willing to attack Canada and NATO and American allies with such direct and blunt, hateful language. But when it comes to Russia, Rubio's like, well, in this case, unfortunately, on the issue of Iran, we're not fully aligned with Russia. What do you mean we're not fully aligned? You mean Russia is giving weapons to kill our service members?

12:20Ben Meiselas:Is that what you mean? Not fully aligned? Man, these Trump regime people are just so utterly pathetic. Here, play this clip of Rubio saying that. We're helping you out. Yeah. Well, in the case, unfortunately, of Iran, we're not aligned with the Russians and the Russian system in terms of their view of the situation. You know, obviously Russia has their own hands full with Ukraine. Meanwhile, Iran just mocks Donald Trump all day. They put up those billboards of Donald Trump in the catering container with Natalie hiding from Iran at the NATO summit. Trump's scarfing down a burger and a Coke looking so utterly pathetic right there.

13:00Ben Meiselas:So what else do we got? Donald Trump whining. We're in September 2026 and Trump's like, we inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. It would have been 1929 if it wasn't for me. It would have been the Great Depression. Donald, you have crashed our economy right now. Right now, but for the fact that the wealthiest Americans have gotten even wealthier, most Americans feel like they're living through a Great Depression, and you want to pound them down even more and hurt them more by putting data centers in their backyard. Here play this clip. The economy. what they did to our economy was so bad.

13:37We inherited the worst economy, one of them in history outside of 1929, which was seriously bad. We would have ended up in 1929. We would have been, instead of having the hottest country anywhere in the world, we would have been a 1929 economy. We would have been in a depression. Instead of having$20 trillion invested in our country, we would have had 10 trillion being taken out and our welfare would have doubled and tripled and you would have had a bankrupt country. That was gonna happen 100%.

14:10Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump then continues to brag like a little loser about Xi Jinping visiting us. Xi Jinping, he's gonna love. Donald Trump just loves talking about how he bows down to Xi Jinping. Here, playing this clip. The presidents have wanted it for a long time. As an example, on September 24th, We have President Xi coming of China and he'll come in and we have a grand total of about 98 seats in the White House. And we have about 2000 people. We had that ballroom open. We could have we could handle it. But so it's going to be very tough. It's going to be very, very tough to handle that one. But we'll work it out.

14:48But we only have we have less than 100 seats. And he's very he's an outstanding guy. And a lot of people would like to be there. I'd like to have him. So we'll see how that all works out. Everybody's fighting for tickets. And then they called from China that they'd like about 60 for their people. They said, that's a lot. I said, we're arguing over seats, but we won't have that. In a year from now, we won't have that problem anymore.

15:13Ben Meiselas:And then even on state regime media, which calls itself Fox News, they had Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, because nothing says bizarro banana republic developing nation like having your daughter-in-law be a Fox host and guest as one of your propagandists. But state regime media was asking her, hey, hey, Lara, what's he going to do with his money? Well, you raised all this money for people. Are you going to deploy it for Republicans? It's already September, meaning most of the ad spots are already booked. So you can't even really deploy your money. Is he really going to hoard all that money?

15:47Ben Meiselas:Watch what Lara Trump has to say. Play this clip. Laura, what is your take on this Texas race? One of the complaints has been that the Trump PAC, you know, is flush with cash,$400 million, and hasn't committed it to this race for the candidate that the president says he supports right there. Well, I think you'll certainly see a lot of that money spent. And there's no doubt this president will be out campaigning in Texas, all over the country, Martha. I mean, we know that Donald Trump is the king of campaigning, right? He loves a good rally, and we will definitely see him out there. But the Texas race is interesting.

16:22You know, this is an important race, not just for the Senate seat, but for what else happens in Texas and the down ballot races as well. Obviously, Texas has solidly been read for a long time. They have not elected a Democrat to a Senate seat there since 1988. And so the fear is that if the GOP turnout isn't high enough, it's not just about the Senate seat. It's obviously about House races, then the state legislature. And so you have a state like Texas that has, again, been a very Republican state for a long time, that if we're not able to turn people out in that state, it could look very different.

16:56It might not just impact the Senate and the balance of power in Congress, but the state as a whole. And so, look, the president is going to be all in on this. He will definitely be out campaigning, and you will for sure see that money spent. I think they just want it to go to its highest and best use and use it at the appropriate time. So do you think...

17:15Ben Meiselas:And folks, you just see in significant ways, just these developments of the world losing confidence in the United States. Obviously, it's reflected in the bond sell-off, one of the reasons the treasury yields are so high. I mean, the 30-year, 5.3%. What is it? The 20-year, the 10-year, the two-year? You know, oh, Treasury Secretary Besson, just like you were a loser when you were on your own, with your own private fund. You don't know what you're doing here now with the American economy. Your bond buyback scheme failed. Japanese yen scheme failed. All of your schemes are failing one after another.

17:55Ben Meiselas:So we see the bond sell off, foreign companies selling our bonds. But then we just see stories like this every day as well. Netherlands moving billions in gold to London in crisis preparedness mode. The Netherlands has moved 86 tons of its gold stock worth$12 billion out of the U.S., citing Trump's unpredictability over the Iran war, increasing geopolitical unrest as Donald Trump is attacking Canada. They also had some reserves in Canada as well. This move follows senior officials from the Netherlands warning that gold is no longer safe in Donald Trump's hands, which prompted the Netherlands to immediately begin removing its gold from the US because Trump is a freaking deranged gold hoarder that countries that were once allied with us are afraid he's going to steal their gold.

18:52Ben Meiselas:That's what the United States has become right now. As Donald Trump demanded that Apple, give him gold, give me gold buys. I want more gold bars. Apple, you change your map, Apple, to Lake America, not Lake Ontario, or else I will destroy your company. I mean, this guy is a communist authoritarian loser, creepo, predator. I can go on and on and on, but you get the point. I'm going to do a video this morning as well on the top military leaders warning that Hegseth has destroyed the military. Hegseth has also deleted a private classified database where the secretary order book is housed in this private online database with classified access.

19:45Ben Meiselas:He deleted it because there was a leak that the order book showed that our top generals and admirals do not concur with his war plan in 2027, which has destroyed the United States military in 2025, 2026, and 2027. So now they're deleting the databases. He's turned the Pentagon press room into a SCIF, a sensitive compartmented information facility, so he can hide from the press and say his aura is classified. No, your aura is loser and war criminal. And now he's deleting databases. I mean, he's just so pathetic. I'm going to do a whole video on that. I'll talk about how Republican Senator Tom Tillis and others said the guy's the most incompetent leader, even though Tillis was the one who voted to confirm him.

20:30Ben Meiselas:We got a busy morning. Keep checking back every 90 minutes here on the Midas Touch Network. Thanks for watching, everybody.
