My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child.

0:38The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

3:33Ben Meiselas:Nobody showed up, Donald. It's official. Donald Trump is losing it as the PGA tournament at his Doral Miami Golf Club is officially the worst attended PGA tour stop in years and possibly in the entire history of the PGA as Rick Riley, who covers sports and who's actually covered Donald Trump cheating in golf rights. Everything Donald Trump touches turns to SHI. You know what? Now, earlier in the week on Thursday, which was the first day of this Cadillac Championship PGA tournament that was set to take place in Doral at Donald Trump's golf club there, we took a look at what was going on at the 18th hole just to see how many people were in attendance.

4:27Ben Meiselas:Now, we weren't seeing anybody throughout the golf course and other holes, but we figure let's take a look at the 18th hole because usually that would be the most crowded where all the players finish up their tournament. there was nobody there. And when I say not a single fan, I quite literally mean zero. No fans showed up to this PGA tournament, utterly humiliating Donald Trump as he returned to Florida and then is now pretending to negotiate with Iran when they're not calling him at all. More on that in a moment because Donald Trump right now in his panic is pretending he doesn't even know there's a golf tournament in Doral Miami because it's that embarrassing because I don't even know.

5:16Ben Meiselas:Is there a tournament? Is there not a tournament? I'm too busy dealing with the Iranians. They keep on calling me. They're not calling you, Donald. You are making this up. You lie about everything and you have been humiliated because no one showed up to the thing you care about most. the golf tournament in Doral. Also, Donald Trump responsible for destroying the entire Live Golf League as Donald Trump promised a security umbrella to the Middle East and then did not deliver after all the quid pro quos they gave Donald Trump. Saudi Arabia said, we're shutting down the Live Golf Tournament because it's not an essential investment from the Saudi private investment from the PIP.

5:59Ben Meiselas:We ain't doing that investment. So all of Donald Trump's golf buds are out of a job right now or about to be out of a job and they want to come back and run to play for the PGA. But the PGA saying you abandoned us for the Saudis and that live tournament and all the Trump golf courses. Trump was helping prop up that live golf tournament. So the PGA saying, oh, we don't want you in our league right now. You tried to screw us over. So now Donald Trump is trying to use the power of the presidency to force the PGA to bring back the live golfers as Americans are suffering psychologically tortured by the sick, vile and disgusting regime of war criminals.

6:44Ben Meiselas:This is what Donald Trump is focused on. So you see right here, our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski, posted what the 18th hole looked like on day one. I've got photos of day two, by the way, as well. Same thing. Ron Filipkowski writes, the crowd at the main grandstand around the 18th green at Trump Doral, Miami today with Ricky Fowler, Colin Morikawa, two of the biggest stars on the PGA tour, absolutely empty. So some MAGA people didn't believe us. Like, am I just touched? You don't like Donald Trump. So you're just saying that it's empty. So there were people watching on day two. So certain MAGA accounts then said, wow, Midas Touch is actually telling the truth.

7:24Ben Meiselas:Yeah, we always tell the truth. We always bring the receipts. We always bring the facts. Someone writes, did you see the PGA tournament, the Cadillac Tramp Championship at Trump Doral in Miami? I thought the Midas Touch just found some shot of the 18th green seating was empty yesterday. So I watched round two today on the Golf Channel. There were zero people on 16, 17, and 18. Wow, seriously. But there was a gigantic 15-foot golden statue of Donald Trump, just like Kim Jong-un has his golden statues. Donald Trump put a golden statue there. So I have photos just of day two. You can see right here.

8:04Ben Meiselas:I mean, look, to be fair, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 people appear to be in the crowd. This other shot here, there may be 19 people in the crowd. And all of the commenters who are watching this live are like, where are the crowds? Where are the people? They ain't there. So on Friday night, Donald Trump gave a speech at something called the Forum Club in Palm Beach. It's supposed to be a nonpartisan club for thought leaders. They speak there. The first person to speak was Jimmy Carter. in the 1970s. And it prides itself on nonpartisan, high level discourse and speeches and the exchange of ideas.

8:49Ben Meiselas:Of course, Donald Trump ruined that, giving what I think was perhaps the most deranged speech yet by Donald Trump. And that's saying a lot. That was the speech I covered it last night where Donald Trump's like, the president of Mexico, she's so pretty. And I said, oh, hello, you pretty woman. And she's like, oh, hey, Donald. Hey, I'm like, dude, what the hell is this guy saying. Donald Trump's like, Robert E. Lee was so courageous in the civil war. And he's like, you don't go up me hill, my mate. Don't go up me hill. It's like, okay, that's not a thing. You just made up Robert E. Lee lore that doesn't exist.

9:23Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump's like, oh, I think we're pirates. America, we're like, we've turned our Navy into the pirates of the Caribbean. And so we just steal the Iranian cargo ships. I'm like, oh, yes, that's what you're doing. That's what Iran's calling you out for. It's pretty pathetic that the might and strength of the United States Navy is now being used for piracy. But yes, you called yourself a pirate. Any event, at that speech, Donald Trump was like, you know, I hear I have a golf tournament taking place, but, you know, I'm so busy negotiating with the Iranians that I don't know. I'm spending all this time on the phone with the Iranians.

10:00Ben Meiselas:You're not on the phone. They're not calling you. They're not talking to you. You've made this up now for six weeks of just making up fake negotiations with them. It's really humiliating. As the German chancellor said, this is absolutely humiliating. And then because the German chancellor called you out, you're like, oh, wow, wow, wow, I'm a little baby. I'm Donald Trump. Then you moved 5 ,000 of our troops out of a joint Air Force base that the U.S. has in Germany. In any event, here's Donald Trump saying that he's on the phone with the Iranians so much, He doesn't even know that there's a tournament.

10:33Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. Beach. You know? So you'll be all very happy. And, you know, it's right now. I own Doral. And right now we have a tournament. I'm so busy. And we have the big Cadillac championship going on all the great players, the PGA Tour. And they're there. And yesterday somebody came up, said, sir, the tournament is great. I said, what tournament are you talking about? I'm so busy with the Iranians calling, trying to make a good deal. we're not going to let that happen, but got to make a bad, they've got to make a bad deal. But if they make a deal at all, because frankly, maybe we're better off not making a deal at all.

11:08Do you want to know the truth? Because we can't let this thing go on. Been going on too long, but under the leadership of...

11:16Ben Meiselas:By the way, on Thursday, when nobody attended and he found out that nobody was there and it was officially the worst PGA event in the PGA history as everything Donald Trump touches dies, He did the same thing in the Oval Office where he was like, yeah, I wish I could watch it. I'm just so busy right now talking to the Iranians. And then the reporter was like, well, what do you make of Liv? The fact that this Saudi-backed tournament, this Liv club, this Liv league that brought all these PGA players and you were working with MBS to prop up Liv. They were doing all these quid pro quos at all of your golf courses.

11:54Ben Meiselas:What do you make of them shutting down and basically kicking out all the players? And Donald Trump's like, well, you know, I think that all the players should join together. All of the players should, you know, should work together. Anyway, here's what he says here. Play this clip. Saudi Arabia is pulling the plug on Live Golf. Once that tour is gone, do you think the PGA Tour should welcome the defectors back with open arms? Well, I do. It's a great question. In fact, if I had time, I'd love to watch television today because the PGA Tour is playing at Durrell, the Cadillac Championship. And I said, who's winning?

12:32I don't get a chance. I can't even look at him. Jordan Spieth was in the lead. Who is? Jordan Spieth. Oh, that's good. He's good. Great putter, to put it in my way, right? A very great chipper putter. No, it's, they're at my tournament right now, the PGA. in two weeks Liv is going to be at my course right here in the Patel. I'd love to see Liv but I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing, the great golfers should be playing against each other. I do believe they were viewing something as a monopoly but it's sway in a way it should be the opposite of a monopoly I want to see Rory playing Bryson DeChambeau I want to see Big John Rom playing Scotty, who's so great, right?

13:21Scott. Scotty Schaeffler is great. And I want to see him play John Rahm and Bryson and all the different guys. They have great players on the lip. But it's almost like people want to see that. That's why the Masters were so good, because you saw everybody together. Patrick Reed played great. You know, he's on the lip and he played great.

13:41Ben Meiselas:This episode of the Might As Touch podcast is brought to you by AG1. Spring is one of those seasons where everything speeds up. More travel, more events, more late nights, and it's easy for your routine to fall apart. That's why I try to keep at least one thing consistent every single day, and for me, that's AG1. Whether I'm on the road, grabbing an early flight, or just dealing with a packed schedule, the travel packs make it incredibly easy to stay on track. AG1 is a daily health drink that's clinically shown to support gut health and fill in common nutrient gaps. It's got 75 plus ingredients, including five clinically studied probiotic strains.

14:17Ben Meiselas:So it replaces the need for a multivitamin, probiotics, and a bunch of other supplements. And that's really the key. It simplifies everything. Most supplement routines are a mess. Pills, timing, schedules you can't keep up with. AG1 is just one scoop, 20 seconds, and you're done. It becomes that daily anchor, the habit you stick to even when everything else is chaotic, and you know that everything is very chaotic right now. I found it really helps keep my energy steady, especially during these busy stretches. It also supports immune health with antioxidants and functional mushrooms, and the probiotics help with digestion and gut health, especially when your routine is all over the place.

14:54Ben Meiselas:For me, I treat AG1 like a non-negotiable ritual, not a supplement. Just part of the day now, whether I'm at home or on the move, it's become a major part of my daily routine. Go to drinkag1.com slash Midas to get an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 for free in your AG1 welcome kit with your first AG1 subscription order. That's a$72 value. Yours free. Only while supplies last. Go to drinkag1.com slash Midas. That's M-E-I-D-A-S. And Rick Riley, sports commentator, who wrote a book. specifically addressing Donald Trump cheating in sports. Here's what Rick Riley says. He goes, how's this for karma?

15:40Ben Meiselas:Trump hitched his camel to the Saudis and live golf. He hosted their dumb ass tournaments on his courses. Then Trump bombed Iran. So Iran bombed Saudi infrastructure for being a U.S. ally. So the Saudis can't afford or just don't want to spend$6 billion for live and killed it. So much winning. And Rick Riley also says, the Saudi Royals are out. So who's ready to fund Live Now for only$6 billion over five years? You can allow stars like Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson to fly in G6s, play three days of golf a week and not worry about cuts. No TV execs to pamper because there are no TV deals.

16:22Ben Meiselas:Who's in everybody? Of course, he's mocking it. And by the way, at this PGA tournament at Donald Trump's club, there were not a lot of stars playing there. Some of the top names in the PGA decided to skip the event. I mean, you had five of the top 15 players in the world just giving Donald Trump the middle finger at the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral. Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffel, Robert McIntyre, Ludwig Aberg are all sitting out this week. They're like, nah, we're not going to play here. They knew that nobody was going to show up. And just, can I show you what state regime media is doing right now?

17:04Ben Meiselas:So on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, they're trying to like normalize all of this. So in between talking about, oh, Donald Trump is such a victim, White House Correspondents Dinner. Oh, can you believe it? Can you believe how courageous he is? So in between doing that whole shtick, they talk about golf. They're talking about golf courses and Donald Trump says that he's going to help live, merge with the PGA and get all those players back to the PGA. It's a really big initiative, Marsha, a really big initiative. This is what the American people want. Who watches this program in the United States of America as Americans are psychologically tortured by this disgusting fascist regime?

17:50Ben Meiselas:And it's like, yeah, OK, he's doing the lift thing. Very good, Donald. Good work. How pathetic. Anyway, here play this clip. The future of live golf is in jeopardy as Saudi Arabia pulls funding for the pro league after just four seasons. Fox News previously broke the news. Brett Baer did that Saudi Arabia is pulling the funding for the professional golf league after four seasons. President Trump now says he thinks the PGA Tour will welcome the players back. I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing. The great golfers should be playing against each other. There's something nice about all of the players playing together.

18:28Now they'll all be accepted by the tour. There's no point because they're great. Let's see. Among the golfers in limbo, following Liv's announcement, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, who did not apply for Ian's statement by the February deadline with the PGA Tour. We're going to see what happens. My sense is they already built in some type of suspension and fine, and then they go back to normal. You're not going to help anybody by holding a grudge. How do you feel? What do you mean? You're not holding a grudge. If you're PGA. By holding a grudge against the golfers. Oh, they should totally hold a grudge.

19:02Really? Yeah, of course. They took the Saudis' money, and now they've got to suffer the consequences when the Saudis pull out. Yeah, but when it comes to sports, you're going to always accept the ones who are really good. This is true. The best in the world. You're going to accept them back, I'm sure.

19:15Ben Meiselas:Time heals all wounds. By the way, I like that Rick Riley posted this AI image of that 15-foot gold statue of Donald Trump, except this time it's kicking a golf ball. And he posts the kicking of the golf ball because Donald Trump cheats when he plays the Midas Touch Network on numerous occasions. We've been the ones that caught Donald Trump cheating while playing golf. And we would find, we'd have people out there, we'd see him kick the golf ball and he would take, when he was doing putts, he'd have like 20-foot putts that weren't going to go in. but he gave himself the putt like as though it went in the hole, even though he was like 20 feet away.

19:47Ben Meiselas:It's like, yeah, that's a gimme, I guess. And then he would not like where the ball would be positioned. And so he would just take it and he would have his caddy put it in a better position on the green when it would be in the rough or it would be in a bunker. Like dude is so freaking pathetic, but I like AOC's perspective of it all. She spoke to our team on Capitol Hill, our DC Bureau. And she was like, you know what? Don't you kind of want this guy playing golf though? Like just keep him away. And if he plays golf, the more he plays golf, the less he's, uh, the less he's in our faces here. Play this clip.

20:22One other quick question. Donald Trump is playing a lot of golf while we're at war. Prices are going up.

20:28Ben Meiselas:Um, what do you make of Donald Trump's, I guess, work? You know, obviously it's awful that this guy's playing golf, but in a way, um, we're already seeing that some of the most important military decision makers in the country are trying to keep him out of consequential decisions. So in some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if he is being, if the determination is that Donald Trump cannot be trusted in the situation room and in unfolding scenarios, then he's not fit to be president.

21:10Ben Meiselas:And as you know, Donald Trump continues to pretend that he wins golf championships at his clubs. Then he posts them like every other week he's claiming he's winning a tournament. And then he posts 2025 men's senior championship. We did it. We did it. And then disgustingly, you know, really disgustingly, Donald Trump said how he wants to build all of these. He did AI videos of this, how he wants to build all of these golf courses in Gaza. So he wants to use the genocide and then build golf courses. Remember, we did that AI video of him and Netanyahu with their shirt off. And they were like dancing with like, it was a very weird video, right?

21:47Ben Meiselas:Where it was like they were dancing with like belly dancers and like golfing and drinking alcohol. And the belly dancers had beards and boobs. It was like very strange. Remember that video I'm talking about? I'm not making this up. It's some weird stuff. And then you had Jesse Waters say the following. Here, play this clip. The Trump Board of Peace already doing more than the UN. We're building golf clubs in Gaza. The only thing they'll be fighting over now is tee times. A few other things about Donald Trump and golf courses, in addition to the fact that he cheats all the time. He buried his first wife at the Bedminster golf course so he can get, apparently, he can get tax benefits by saying that his golf course is a cemetery.

22:30Ben Meiselas:That's what a lot of people were saying. But he buried her. And then the Daily Mail got the photos and all of the shrubs and grass was growing over it. That's where his first wife was buried. Wow. So ghoulish that the kids would just let that happen. Oh, and then as we know, Donald Trump's covering up his cognitive and physical decline. He really can't cover it up because it's in our faces. But Donald Trump had his doctor, Sean Barbarella, say that Donald Trump's health is demonstrated by the fact that he wins all these golf tournaments and that shows how healthy he is. He wins all these golf tournaments.

23:04Ben Meiselas:I kid you not, Donald Trump's medical note from last year, by the way, I don't think he's had a physical in 2026. They just think that we're supposed to forget that he has. Don't report on those pesky annual physicals, right? Donald Trump just apparently hiding the annual physical, in my opinion, or not telling us about it. But on the April 2025 one, it's like his health is demonstrated by, quote, frequent victories in golf events. Some weirdo stuff. Weird, weird stuff, man. But Trump humiliated at his golf course. Good. Good. No one showed up. Good. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching.
