1:58Ben Meiselas:and impliedly for what has been uncovered in the Epstein files. As Prime Minister Tusk of Poland has said yesterday, it seems increasingly clear that the entire pedophilia ring of Jeffrey Epstein was connected to Moscow intelligence, that this all goes directly to Putin. The Prime Minister of Poland saying that, and Prime Minister Tusk says that he is launching an investigation in Poland to determine the ties with which Russian intelligence was responsible for Epstein's child sex trafficking ring in Poland, in Europe, in the United States. We did a whole video here on the Midas Touch Network about the thousands of references to Putin in the Epstein files and how Epstein was talking about meetings with Putin with the highest level government officials coordinating moves, talking about pitching Bitcoin to Putin, saying how Putin wanted to meet with him on certain occasions, describing in detail and implying grave potential influence with American politics as well.

3:14Ben Meiselas:I want to share with you what Prime Minister Tusk said yesterday as he announced this official investigation by Poland into Putin's involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking ring. And again, go back and watch the full video where I break down all of these specific communications that Epstein had with world leaders about Putin and its connection to the first Trump administration and its connection to the Trump regime right now. You also have world leaders calling out Donald Trump for his ultimate betrayal, as it also relates to Putin. Remember, what, 48 hours ago, Donald Trump said he spoke with Putin, which would be right after those Epstein files dropped.

3:56Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump said that Putin promised him that he was not going to be attacking Ukraine because of the cold weather. and Trump said to Zelensky, you're good. Tell the people of Ukraine, everyone's good right now. Putin said there won't be attacks because of the cold weather in Ukraine. And then shortly thereafter, Putin launched one of his biggest attacks on Ukraine and Kiev, Kharkiv and the surrounding areas, killing people and people were lured out by Donald Trump's statements. I want to talk about that. You also have Greenland's foreign minister speaking in Norway, giving a powerful speech against the Trump regime.

4:35Ben Meiselas:I want to share that as well. And then we should talk also about, in France, French President Emmanuel Macron and the French rapid response social media accounts hitting back at MAGA every single day. There was basically a search warrant executed at the Twitter or ex-offices in France for violations or potential violations of French law regarding the types of content that in France, they say, look, we have free speech here, but you can't engage in certain types of conduct that's deemed unlawful, predatorial, harmful to children. And then Elon Musk whined about it. And France was like, yeah, we agree with the First Amendment, but what this stuff is, ain't that.

5:23Ben Meiselas:And they would push Let's tie this all together, shall we? So first, let me show you what Prime Minister Tusk said as he announced this investigation into the links between Putin, Moscow, and Epstein, and the influence operations that can be run in Poland and across the world. Here, play this clip. We cannot allow any of the cases of Polish children exploited by the pedophile network and by the organizer of this satanic circle, Mr. Epstein, to be disregarded by anyone. The first reports have emerged concerning individuals who, for example, informed Mr. Epstein from Krakow that they already had a group of Polish women or girls.

6:05We, along with the Minister of Justice, the Prosecutor General, and the Minister Coordinator for Special Services, have jointly decided to establish an analytical team and potentially launch an investigation if analyses confirm our concerns regarding the pedophilia scandal in the United States. The very well-known Scottish journalist Andrew Marr yesterday posed truly crucial questions, and these pertain to every government across the globe. These are questions regarding what we intend to do about this, given that suspicions concerning Epstein's connections and that entire pedophile network with Russian special services are escalating daily.

6:42This issue must also be thoroughly investigated by us, considering the national security of the Polish state.

6:47Ben Meiselas:You heard him for yourself, what he had to say there. Now I want to pivot and talk about Zelensky being betrayed yet again by Donald Trump. So here's what Zelensky posted as Russia launched one of its biggest Shahid drone ballistic missiles, cruise missile attacks on Ukraine when Donald Trump said, you have nothing to worry about Ukraine. I spoke with Putin. Everyone's good. Here's what Zelensky writes. We await the reaction of America to the Russian strikes. It was the U.S. proposal to halt strikes on energy during diplomacy and severe winter weather. The President of the United States made the request personally.

7:28Ben Meiselas:Russia responded with a record number of ballistic missiles. This speaks volumes about Russia's promises. If their word doesn't hold even now, what can be expected next? They're incorrigible in Moscow, trying to take advantage of the cold because they cannot subdue Ukraine through assaults. Russia's bet on war must receive a response. And the U.S. Congress has long been working on a new sanctions bill, and it is important that there be progress on it. European partners can take decisive steps regarding Russian oil tankers earning for the war. Russia must feel pressure so that it moves in negotiations towards peace.

8:08Ben Meiselas:And Zelensky also wrote, there is an important initiative in the U.S. Congress that could provide more tools for the right pressure on Russia. Now is the best time to pass the Sanction Russia Act. Strong sanctions can support diplomatic efforts and together ensure necessary outcomes. Everyone in the world can see that Moscow is not listening to words and requests and is not responding to them reasonably. While America is investing so much time and effort in diplomacy, Russia continues to invest only in its missiles and drones and carries on with attacks despite requests from our America partners to refrain from doing so for a week.

8:47Ben Meiselas:Last night saw a record breaking attack in the number of ballistic missiles fired. 43 missiles of various types approaching their targets along a ballistic trajectory. There were also 28 cruise missiles and 450 attack drones. The Russians deliberately waited for the coldest days and launched this attack when many of our cities were at negative 20 degrees Celsius or negative four degrees Fahrenheit. night. All Russian targets in Ukraine are energy facilities exclusively. This also means that human lives and the diplomatic process are effectively targets for the Russians as well. We must pressure Russia so that it invests not in war, not in escalation, but in ending the war that it started in the first place.

9:28Ben Meiselas:We thank everyone who supports Ukraine. We thank everyone who helps protect lives. I had one of those moments where I looked at my bank statement and thought, what is all of this?

10:47Ben Meiselas:By the way, Prime Minister Donald Tusk of Poland also wrote, there is a special place in hell for those who took part for those who kept quiet and those who tried to conceal it regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Conceal it, keep it quiet, knew about it. I think he's referring to Donald Trump right there, in my opinion. Tell me what you said in your opinion as they investigate the links between Epstein, Russian intelligence, election interference in Poland and abroad. It's written about in Reuters, Poland to probe possible links between Epstein and Russia, Prime Minister Tusk says right there. Well, how's Donald Trump responding to all of this?

11:36When a reporter asked Donald Trump, this was yesterday, so this was referring to on Monday,

11:42Ben Meiselas:which was Monday, you were talking about how Putin agreed to pause attacks on Ukraine during the cold weather, but overnight the attack started again, Donald. What's your response? Here, play this clip.

12:18because it's really, really cold over there. But it was on Sunday and he went from Sunday to Sunday. You just wanted he didn't go further or go longer? I wanted him to end the war.

12:29Ben Meiselas:And again, you see everything with him is both sides because the real side that Donald on is Putin's side. That's why he both sides it because he's really on Putin's side. He's a Putin bootlicker. And when you go through the files, the Epstein files, in my opinion, you also see where some of the origin around some of this stuff, maybe. Again, I'm just giving you First Amendment opinion speech right here, right? That's my disclaimer. Caroline Levitt right here said the following as well about Donald Trump saying that Putin promised that there weren't going to be more attacks. Here's what she said.

13:06Ben Meiselas:Let's play it. President Trump was talking yesterday about how President Putin had agreed to a week-long halt on attacks on Ukraine because of the cold weather. But today we've seen that Russia has launched some of the heaviest attacks this month. What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I spoke with the president about it this morning and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries who have been engaged in a very brutal war for several years, a war that would have never started if the president were still in office. It started because of the weakness and incompetence of the previous president, Joe Biden.

13:39Ben Meiselas:And then here you have, though, Donald Trump sycophants like James Comer, MAGA Republican Congress member, continuing to talk about taking Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton's deposition. By the way, Bill and Hillary Clinton, former President Clinton, former Secretary of State Clinton, saying, we're okay. You want us to talk about the Epstein files? Let's do it in public so the whole world can see or play this clip. President Trump's name is mentioned one of a thousand times in these documents. Why not try to get more information from him, try to get him to testify? Well, I've noticed that every time you all do a gaggle like this with President Trump, somebody asks him about Epstein.

14:14So he's been answering questions about Well, has Bill Clinton ever answered any questions on that or Hillary Clinton? So this is going to be a new opportunity and we'll go from there.

14:24Ben Meiselas:And finally, as promised, I want to share with you a portion of that speech from Greenland's foreign minister, Minister Vivian Modesfeld. A powerful speech about standing up to the Trump regime in Greenland, what that's like, how difficult it's been for Greenland. as the Trump regime has been this predator, this predator country that the United States has become under Donald Trump. Here's the foreign minister of Greenland giving this incredible speech in Norway. Let's play a small portion of it. What we have been going through have been intense and hectic, and there still are. While we are working hard to address and solve the issues that has put Greenland on the global agenda, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate the support and solidarity with us.

15:23And my fellow panelists here are a good representation of that. What we are dealing with, what we are defending is greater than just the issue of Greenland and our future. This is as much about principles that we all care about. These times, times like these calls for cooperation, dialogue and respect. Dialogue among states and peoples through the established force we have established. Respect for the fundamental principles of international law. territorial integrity, the right of self-determination, democracy, and respect of peoples. The state of affairs is something the people of Greenland feel closely these days, but it also echoes across the world.

16:40We are well aware where we are located on the map, and we know that our climates, economies, and people are closely connected with the rest of the world. That is also why we need each other in order to address the common challenges we face. We need allies and partnerships to continue to create a world that we all want to live in.
