1:00Ben Meiselas:Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word. My champions, I have sold my chariot on Carvana. It was a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast. An offer you can feast on. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up these mail. Bye. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

1:59Ben Meiselas:State regime media known as Fox is in a total panic mode right now as Donald Trump holds an emergency meeting at J.D. Vance's residence with Vance with top DOJ officials like Pam Bondi and Trump's former criminal defense attorney turn number two at the Department of Justice Todd Blanche, where they will be discussing how they further cover up the Epstein files. How do they handle Ghislaine Maxwell? Do they give her a pardon? Do they give her a commutation? What do they do to avoid this escalating and accelerating scandal that Donald Trump and the GOP are now guardians? They've always been, frankly, but they are demonstrating once again to the American people that they are GOP guardians of the pedos and quite literally covering up for a pedo sex trafficking ring the way they are dealing with Ghislaine Maxwell and the way they are dealing with not releasing the Epstein files, in my opinion, of course.

2:53Ben Meiselas:So Fox state regime media has James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee on. And Comer says, look, I don't think when it comes to subpoenaing the DOJ, we're going to have to put up a fight at all because Donald Trump says he's going to release those files. I take him at his word. Seriously, Comer, here, play the clip. The American people, I don't think we'll have to put up a fight with the Department of Justice because President Trump has said he's going to release the Epstein files. I take him at his word. Our House of...

3:48Ben Meiselas:granted her immunity, then moved her from the Tallahassee prison to the camp in Texas, which is like a resort for prisoners, and waived the fact that she's a convicted sex trafficker to put her in a minimum security facility. Now, in connection with Democrats outmaneuvering the MAGA Republicans to serve the Department of Justice with a subpoena for the Epstein files, which I covered this morning, James Comer's trying to cover up for the Trump regime by issuing subpoenas for Bill Clinton, Hillary, Clinton, James Comey, and like nine or 10 other people, but not a subpoena for Alex Acosta, Donald Trump's former labor secretary during his first administration, who was the United States attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

4:32Ben Meiselas:These were all friends of Trump's and Epstein. That was the guy who gave Epstein the sweetheart non-prosecution agreement deal. So what James Comer's plan is he's going to subpoena all of these people like Clintons and then say, Well, we can't get the Epstein files from the DOJ until Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have their deposition first. I just want to give you the context of what's going on with the cover up. And now you can see it play out as Jesse Waters announces that the House Oversight Committee made that subpoena. Here play this clip. Fox News alert. House Oversight just subpoenaed the Clintons and other top Democrats over the Epstein files.

5:10Bill, Hillary, Garland, Mueller, Eric Holder, and Comey. Just a few of the names called in for depositions.

5:18Ben Meiselas:You see the plan evolving. Now, part of the plan is also to distract from the Epstein files. Donald Trump demanded the DOJ impenal a grand jury to criminally prosecute former President Obama, James Comey, others in the Obama administration, because Donald Trump says that Obama did something with Russia and Trump in 2016, Russia, Russia, Russia. Donald Trump just repeats that over and over again, even though we've all heard Donald Trump say, Russia, if you're listening, please hack the emails of my political opponents. And then they got hacked. It was a bipartisan report as well, which said that Russia did interfere with the 2016 election.

5:58Ben Meiselas:But this is part of Donald Trump's distraction effort. Say you're gonna criminally prosecute Obama. Also, he says he's gonna criminally prosecute Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. Here, watch this. And tonight, an update on an Ingram Angle exclusive, a Trump administration source telling The Angle that a criminal investigation of Adam Schiff is underway, conducted by U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland for possible charges involving mortgage fraud. And it just so happens that Fox gets all of these exclusives. Why? Because they're state regime media. James Comer on Laura Ingram says, you know what?

6:31Ben Meiselas:It's really the Republicans who are all about transparency. The Democrats are the ones blocking all of this stuff. The Democrats are the ones not releasing the Epstein file. We're the ones releasing the Epstein files. Here, play this clip. The media has tried to make it out that Republicans didn't want to get to the bottom of this. The Republicans didn't want to be transparent. I can assure you, Republicans want transparency more than Democrats. And we're going to do our job. We're going to provide oversight. And I think that we've got an administration that wants to be transparent. So I'm anxious to get started with this.

7:02And hopefully we'll be bringing people in very soon to depose them and interview them.

7:06Ben Meiselas:I mean, right is quite literally up is down. Left is right. You know, everything is made up. for these MAGA Republicans. Everything is the fascist propaganda tactics that you see in Russia and North Korea. What are you talking about? Y 'all are literally covering it up. The Democrats were the ones who fought to release the files. You're fighting against it. That's just literally what's happening. So then as part of all of this kind of cover up, Laura Ingraham brings on Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard was basically getting pushed out of the Trump regime because she said that Iran had no nuclear capabilities.

7:40Ben Meiselas:And that contradicted Donald Trump's thirst for having a failed strike on Iran, which we now know was an utter failure. But she's gotten back into Donald Trump's good graces by saying that she and FBI agents, they found burn bags of secret, super secret files that nobody's ever seen before about Russia, Russia, Russia in 2016. And the integrity of our republic means that we've got to prosecute Obama for treason, everybody. You know, this ain't landing because we all know you're just covering up for Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein. We know what you're doing. Here, play this clip. And they further say that there's like this idea of saying that Obama is guilty of treason, that there's almost no chance that he's going to be charged or convicted of treason.

8:27So why even go there? And I'll pose that question to you. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on the American people knowing the truth about what actually happened and seeking that accountability, bringing about that accountability. I don't know how else to characterize what happens when there is a sitting president of the United States. There is a director of the CIA, a director of national intelligence under President Obama, the head of the NSA. James Comey is the head of the FBI. All coming together, and this is documented in what we released, all coming together to create this lie with the intent of delegitimizing the duly elected president of the United States because the person they wanted to win actually lost.

9:21and the American people made their own choice in spite of everything that happened in that 2016 election and they chose Donald Trump. This was not a one-off thing. This wasn't just, oh, well, they fudged the lines a little bit. They created a lie and propagated that lie in order to try to undermine the person that the American people chose to be our president and commander in chief.

9:44Ben Meiselas:Then we have Mark Meadows joining the fray. Hey, Mark Meadows, haven't heard about you in a while. Mark Meadows in the last days of the Trump regime was literally there at the fireplace burning stuff during the first Trump administration. But Mark Meadows says, look, let me tell you what's happening across the country. Democrats want to gerrymander everything. Democrats want to desperately maintain control. They have no agenda. So Democrats are launching a massive plan to cheat in the midterm elections. Here play this clip. As more campaign speeches continue to get made, whether they be in Texas or Illinois or somewhere else, the American people are seeing what this is in reality.

10:25And that is Democrats want desperately to maintain control. They have no plan. They have really no agenda. And so the only way that they can keep control is to try to keep the cards stacked against Republicans. And so so here we are today with this fight. But I can tell you that at the end of the day, it will be a Republican agenda and a Republican majority that delivers on behalf of the American people.

10:56Ben Meiselas:Really? Like you want us to believe we see what Trump is doing. We know what Greg Abbott in Texas is doing. Like we're not dumb. These people would, I'd have more respect for these idiots if they just went out there and said, look, we're, we're fascist cucks, right? We're a cult. We are what we are. I'd be like, okay, that's who you are. Weird. Don't like you, but at least you're owning up to it, but they're not because they're weak and they're pathetic, right? And so you have to go and be aggressive with these people because they're pathetic losers because that's how pathetic losers behave. If y 'all want to be fascist, just own it.

11:35Ben Meiselas:Just own it and say, here's what I stand for. I stand for fascism. I hate that we just say it. And then I'll be like, okay, that's who you are. We don't like you for that. You shouldn't be anywhere near any positions of government, but at least you're saying who you are, but they all like fake it. All right. I'm obsessed with Ridge. You guys know Ridge. I've been talking about them a whole lot on the pod. They make incredible wallets, luggage, and premium everyday gear. I'm holding my Ridge up right now.

13:33Ben Meiselas:Anyway, then you have Tulsi Gabbard again saying, you know, what really happens here is that there's a propaganda arm of the deep state and the propaganda arm, here, play this clip. They do over and over and over again. And the next step they will take when they feel that they are not succeeding in getting rid of this truth that we have uncovered for the American people, then they will go down the route of we must destroy and smear and attack the credibility of those who are delivering the truth to the American people. They've done this to President Trump. They've done this to me. They've done this to so many different people, once again, who are trying to tell the American people the truth and expose these people, many of whom you just showed for who they are as the propaganda arm of the deep state, which would have no power and no influence if they weren't able to feed their lies into a willing spokesperson through the propaganda media.

14:32Ben Meiselas:How are they even talking about? Here they are again. Let's play it. This very serious investigation. You heard the media reaction. A lot of these same people were just buying lock, stock and barrel what was sold to them during the 2016 election. But they're essentially saying this is all old news. This is such a stupid political move on their part into that, you say? They're using the same old tactic that the deep state's propaganda arm in the media uses. Whenever they come across something that is true and that doesn't go along with whatever their narrative is that they're trying to shove down the throats of the American people, they first usually ignore it, as they did when I first released these documents a couple of weeks ago.

15:22They tried to ignore it when they realized that they weren't going to get away with this, that this story was going to continue breathing life. We continued releasing new documents. Then they decided, oh, we'll take this approach and say, oh, this is nothing. There's nothing really to say.

15:36Ben Meiselas:Laura Ingram wants us to believe what's happening in Texas is the way democracy actually should be working. Here, play this clip. An all out war. Everything's. No, what's happening in Texas is democracy and it terrifies Democrats because they're losing ground and they don't know what to do to regain it. And they bring on Greg Abbott, who says the gerrymandering in blue states is the real problem. Play this clip. For example, I think Donald Trump won in all five of these seats that we will be making Republican seats. The same thing should apply in all those other states, Sean, that you mentioned in your monologue where you pointed out the gross gerrymandering in these blue states have rejected Republican candidates for office that should be serving those states, should be serving our country.

16:25It's the gerrymandering in the blue states that distorted the politics in America. All right, Governor, good for you. Good for the fight. We'll see if these guys show up and do their job as they should do. But clearly, they don't want the same rules applied to them. That's what this story is really all about.

16:43Ben Meiselas:And then you have Sean Hannity saying that Bud Light needs to hire Sidney Sweeney. Here, play this clip. You know, the left is really despicable, pretty disgusting, but I do have an idea. I want to get your thought on it. What about after the Dylan Mulvaney disaster of Bud Light? If I was Bud Light, and I'm offering this to them no charge. If I was Bud Light, I would hire Sidney Sweeney tomorrow. And then Fox tries to normalize Donald Trump walking around on a roof by having Peter Doocy say, my wife doesn't like it when I go on the roof. This is perfectly normal behavior. Let me show you that clip here, play it.

17:25From Washington, was he yelling to you, Peter? He was, Martha, and I was just standing down there looking up like my wife doesn't like it when I go up on the roof. I wonder what the first lady thinks about this. Yeah, go on down. We're right here.

17:39Ben Meiselas:And just to remind you, here was Donald Trump walking on the roof yesterday. There's another clip where he's saying, I'm building nuclear weapons on the roof. I'm building nuclear weapons on the roof. I pay for everything. I pay for all of this. This is mine. I pay for it. By the way, here's how Fox covered Donald Trump walking on the roof. You're playing on the roof of the White House. He's taking questions. or he was just a few moments ago. Let's listen in, please. You're looking good, Peter. Where are you going to go? I see you.

18:12Something good. What does that mean? What do you mean? There's more ways to spend my money. Can you give us another hand? I will. I will show you. It's just another way to spend my money for the country. Are you sitting in a way, Orr? Anything I do is finance by me, so not the way it's contributed. Just like my salary is contributed, but nobody ever mentions that. Where are you going to add it on the metal?

18:45Ben Meiselas:He's walking on the roof. He's wandering the roof like a freaking crazy person. What are we talking about here? Anyway, hit subscribe.
