In short

The episode is a political commentary claiming Fox News and its guests are “losing it” while Donald Trump “quickly unravels” mainstream narratives. It focuses on: Pam Bondi allegedly searching for Antifa as an organized, funded force; Lindsey Graham arguing Israel may re-enter Gaza to protect tribes/clans Hamas targets; and Trump’s alleged support for Hamas attacking those groups, contrasted as contradictory. It also claims Bondi praises National Guard actions in LA and calls sanctuary-city policies aiding lawbreaking regarding ICE. Eric Trump is presented as claiming Jack Smith planted classified folders at Mar-a-Lago and as attacking “DEI” and “woke” culture. Tom Emmer and Jesse Waters are used to argue the shutdown is about “hate America” rallies and to allege DOJ sting/cash misconduct.

Guests

Pam Bondi (Florida AG background), Lindsey Graham (US Senator), Eric Trump (Trump campaign/family figure), Tom Emmer (House GOP leader), Jesse Waters (Fox host).

Notable examples

Portland/Chicago/L.A. unrest; Gaza/Syria claims; Mar-a-Lago “classified folders” allegation; Rose Garden umbrellas/flagpoles reused at Mar-a-Lago.

1:31Ben Meiselas:State regime media known as Fox was quite literally losing it on air last night. They had Attorney General Pam Bondi go on and she's like, look, we're searching for Antifa. They're so organized. They have all of the signs that match. We've got to stop this from happening. We got to stop all of these signs. This is insane here. Watch this. Well, sure. And that's one of the things about Antifa. You've heard President Trump say multiple times they are organized. They are a criminal organization and they're very organized. You're seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match pre-bought, pre-put together.

2:13They're organized and someone is funding it. We're going to get to the funding of Antifa. We're going to find and charge all of those people who are causing this chaos in Portland and all these other cities across our country. Talk to all the influencers who have been threatened and beat up and their lives threatened from Antifa members. It's going to stop under Donald Trump.

2:35Ben Meiselas:Then Sean Hannity brings on Lindsey Graham and surprise, surprise, he says, Israel's going to have to get back into Gaza very soon. Here, play this clip. One way or the other, these people are going to be protected. The thing it makes you strong in the Mideast is when you're reliable. And the one thing I love about our friends in Israel, if you're a friend to Israel, they're a friend to you. And they're not going to abandon these people to be slaughtered by Hamas. If Israel has to go back into Gaza to save these people, they will. To the Arab world, don't make them do that. More of Lindsey Graham.

3:08Ben Meiselas:He says, as I speak tonight, there are discussions about Israel entering Gaza again. He goes to protect certain tribes. More on that in just a moment, but play this clip. As I speak tonight, there are discussions in Israel about potentially going back in to save those tribes and clans that had the guts to stand up against Hamas. Wouldn't it be better if this coalition of Arab countries, if they would send in troops to protect the region? Just remember what you said. If the Arab world would be the force to take Hamas down, it would change the region far more than if Israel did it. And then Lindsey Graham continues.

3:53Ben Meiselas:By the way, I thought that didn't all of corporate media and state regime media say, oh, this was a wonderful peace deal. There's peace in the Middle East. Remember what we were saying on the Midas Touch Network? Israel and Hamas didn't even sign the agreement. Hamas says it's not disarming. Israel says it's going to go back and attack Hamas tunnels. Donald Trump doesn't support a two state solution. I was like, what are we talking about here? Like, do we all understand what the facts are? But here, Lindsey Graham says, look, Israel went into Syria and they're going to go back into Gaza. Here, play this clip.

4:25To our Arab allies, you need to get in on the ground now and stop this blood lighting. Because if you don't, Israel is not going to sit back and watch the people who helped Israel through this conflict be slaughtered. They went in Syria. They'll go back into Gaza if they have to.

4:41Ben Meiselas:Now, I'm going to show you more clips from state regime media last night, but I think it's important right here that I also contrast what Lindsey Graham was saying, that Israel needs to go in and to protect these tribes that Hamas is going after in Palestine to what Donald Trump said yesterday. Donald Trump said that he supported Hamas going after these tribes who Donald Trump referred to who has dangerous gangs and that Hamas had his support. I just want you to hear what he's saying. Trump says Hamas had his support. Play this clip. Initially speaking, they needed, you know, they did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad, very, very bad gangs.

5:21And they did take them out and they killed a number of gang members. And that didn't bother me much, to be honest with you. That's okay. We had a couple of very bad gangs. You know, it's no different than other countries like Venezuela sent their gangs into us and we took care of those gangs. We have Washington, D.C. is one of the safest cities in the country. It was one of the worst cities in the country. If you go back just a little while ago, right now, it's safe. You can walk to work. Isn't that nice?

5:48Ben Meiselas:Now, where Lindsey Graham is saying that the tribes are the good guys and Hamas is the bad guys and Donald Trump is saying Hamas apparently had his support. I just want you to think about that. What promises do you think Donald Trump made to certain groups in Palestine that he had their back only for Donald Trump to then say that he was supporting Hamas going after them? Anyway, more on that in a little bit on other videos. Then you had Pam Bondi say, look how much better LA is after Donald Trump brought in the National Guard. I mean, this is just some of the, I live in Los Angeles. This is the craziest nonsense these people spew.

6:29Ben Meiselas:over and over again, the dumbest people, the worst liars, but the biggest liars about everything. Here, play this clip. I guess he talked about if they will not enforce the law, if they will not keep American citizens safe in towns and cities, that it may result in him invoking the Insurrection Act. Let's talk about the legality of that. Sure. He absolutely has the right to do that, the legal authority to do that. We didn't have to do it in Los Angeles. They came in, they cleaned up the riots. You saw, look how much better LA is after the president brought in the National Guard. But look at Portland, look at Chicago.

7:09They're sanctuary cities, they're sanctuary states. They are forbidding in Chicago, this mayor, Brandon Johnson, is forbidding the police to work with ICE to get illegal aliens off the streets.

7:22Ben Meiselas:Then Sean Hannity says, you know, these mayors and these leaders in Los Angeles who have declared states of emergency because ICE attack on citizens and non-citizens alike. Isn't that criminal, Pam Bondi? Shouldn't you? Isn't that aiding and abetting lawbreaking? And Pam Bondi's like, sure is. Sure is, Sean. That's a crime. No, it's not. Who are these moronic humans who are in the cabinet. I mean, Pam Bondi is quite literally the dumbest person and dangerous to hear play this clip. In L.A., they declare a state of emergency and to aid residents hit by immigration rates. How, Madam Attorney General, how is that not aiding and abetting and lawbreaking?

8:14It is, Sean. It is. Ever wake up sweaty, freezing, or just uncomfortable, the temperature in your bedroom can make or break your sleep. That's why I switched to Miracle Made Sheets.

9:38Ben Meiselas:Oh, I shouldn't have said that Pam Bondi's the dumbest person because state regime media brought on Eric Trump. Eric Trump, I don't even know what he sounds, Eric, he sounds like a duck. He sounds like a duck, Eric, Eric duck, Eric Trump. He goes, and we just, duck, duck, we just found, I don't know why I'm doing the duck impression, I'm sorry. We found, I'll relax. We found out, he said, that Jack Smith was planting classified folders in Mar-a-Lago. We found it out. What are you, Jack Smith, first off, no one was planting classified folders. What a ridiculous, again, stupid lie. Jack Smith was appointed three weeks after the FBI validly executed a search warrant where like nuclear secrets were found in the home.

10:27Ben Meiselas:And does anybody believe that, oh, that was planted? Oh, it was planted. Or did Donald Trump steal things because he's a felon, because he's a criminal, because he's a sexual abuser, because he's a fraud, because he's a bad human who's apparently praising Hamas in the clip that I showed you. But here's what Eric Duck Trump had to say. Quack, play this clip. I mean, they dug so deep with, you know, the whole Russia hoax that Hillary found herself. Same thing with Jack Smith. He dug so deep that, you know, we found out that he was actually planting classified folders in Mar-a-Lago. More from Eric Trump right here.

11:01Ben Meiselas:I got 112 subpoenas. Here, play this clip. The guy had an absolute backbone that was unbreakable. And, but they came after me. They came after me because I didn't have executive protections. I got 112 subpoenas, the most subpoenas in American history for any one person. And then he goes, they're going after these leftists, these radical antifas. They're going after the Constitution. They're going after DEI. They're turning everything woke. This is what Americans are. Americans aren't worried about their health care being ripped away by my daddy. Americans aren't worried about groceries being more expensive because of my daddy.

11:41Ben Meiselas:No, Americans are thinking, oh my gosh, is that woke? Do I see a wokey over? Is that a wokey? These people are idiots and we just need to stand up to these idiots. Play this clip of Eric Trump. Let's play it. They were coming after our family because they were coming after the American people. They didn't want to see us succeed. They wanted to weaponize government. They wanted to weaponize justice. They wanted to go after religion. They wanted to go after the family unit. in this country. They were going after the Constitution. DEI was prevailing. Everything was turning woke. We were losing our nation.

12:19And thank God my father had the backbone and resilience to fight and win. And we did it together as a family. And that is the story of under siege.

12:27Ben Meiselas:Then they have this MAGA Republican Congress member, Tom Emmer. And he's like, you know what this shutdown is all about? It's about you'll see on Saturday, this violent base this radical, small, violent base. They're trying to say that the No Kings protest is Antifa. No, it's tens of millions of Americans peacefully protesting against tyrants and tyrant sycophants like you, Emmer. Play this clip. These guys are playing to the most radical, small, and violent base in the country. You'll see them on Saturday on the mall. They just do not love this country, and these guys are afraid of them. Shut down, no more at all, are afraid of them.

13:11Ben Meiselas:More from Tom Emmer over here. He basically says, to continue this shutdown for what? For more hate America rallies? This was like one of their go-to talking points here. Play this clip. To continue this shutdown for what? For a hate America rally that's taking place in the mall on Saturday, Maria? This is ridiculous. It's time that this, my grandfather's party, start listening to Main Street, start listening to the American people. They spoke very loudly a year ago, November, when they voted for Donald Trump. 77 million Americans said they'd had enough of this stuff and they just aren't listening.

13:48Ben Meiselas:You know, and then Maria Bartiromo's like, wow, Tom, Emma, Tom, you know, people are struggling right now. China's bankrupting our farmers, Tom. So how do you explain this? So what do you think the MAGA Republican talking point is. What do you think? Biden. Well, Biden got us into this mess. Donald Trump, back in 2016 to 2020, he saved us. And then Biden brought us into this. God bless Donald Trump was the president from 2016 to 2014. Where the hell would we be now? And now he's saving us. Like, do these idiots, I truly wonder this, when these idiots go home at night and they look at themselves in the mirror?

14:30Ben Meiselas:Do they look in the mirror and go, you're an idiot. How do you even live like that? I truly wonder, how can they go a whole day existing in this form? I'm going to play this clip. Now we're reliant on China and it's boxing President Trump. Yeah, well, where were we? We were trying to fight this. We had Donald J. Trump for four years, which gave us a bit of a fighting chance. But then he, you know, an amazing number of voters mysteriously showed up in the 20 election and Joe Biden had the next four years. And frankly, Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, this cast of losers that would take a knee for anyone but this country led us down this road where if we didn't have Donald Trump right now, Maria, I don't know what the future would be right now.

15:25Donald Trump has credibility with the Chinese. They know when he speaks that he means what he says.

15:32Ben Meiselas:Then you have Jesse Waters. Here's what he said, idiot. Here, play this clip. Because it looks like what the Biden DOJ was doing was going around throwing bags of cash at incoming Trump administration officials. Those look like dirty political setups and stings. Now, I assume he didn't take the cash and not report it to the IRS. I surely hope that's not what happened, but I don't trust the DOJ to not be dirty under Joe Biden, but you can tell that that's what they're doing. They're gonna hammer this sting hard next time they take power. And then you have Eric Trump as part of his book tour. He's like, look at my daddy's home.

16:14Ben Meiselas:This is Mar-a-Lago. Look at my daddy's home. You see those umbrellas? same umbrellas that we destroyed the Rose Garden and look at I'm Use and Kuse right it's like it's like literally Saddam Hussein crap you have like Ude and Kuse you have Don Jr. and Eric you have the freaking president of Indonesia in the Middle East saying to Donald I would like to meet Mr. Eric Trump I'd like to do a deal with you you know I'm a stupid accent then I'm not sure why I'm doing accents and then Donald Trump's like I will introduce you I will introduce you to Eric. Anyway, play this clip. And speaking of terrific, what a fantastic view across the street.

16:54That is the beach club. And in fact, those are the umbrellas from the Rose Garden. Exact same umbrellas at the Rose Garden. And by the way, that beautiful flagpole right there. Yeah. The exact same flagpole that we have at the White House. I got a call from my father. He goes, honey, I need I need two great flagpoles. I want to donate them to the White House. And we're very happy to have the same Mar-a-Lago flagpole on the south and north grounds now. All right.

17:16Ben Meiselas:There you have it, folks. Tell me what you... What a... Like, isn't this an SNL? This would be an SNL skit if this wasn't real. The hell are we watching here? Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks. Thanks for watching.
