In short
The episode is a political rant arguing Donald Trump is mentally “sickly,” exaggerates deals, and is inconsistent on Gaza/Israel and trade. It contrasts California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s insults and a claim that Trump gave Argentina a $20B bailout while “ripping away” U.S. health care. It cites Lindsey Graham saying Israel may re-enter Gaza to protect “tribes/clans” against Hamas, then claims Trump previously supported Hamas policing Gaza. It alleges Trump’s “peace” is a “fraud” because Israel and Hamas didn’t sign a peace deal. It attacks Trump’s “90 deals in 90 days,” saying only seven nonbinding “intent” announcements exist. Notable examples include Carvana and scam-call/data-broker ads, plus Politico’s leaked GOP text thread (gas chambers/slavery/rape jokes). No guests are named.

4:29Ben Meiselas:Maybe it's because you declared a trade war against them in the world. He goes on to say, we are considering terminating business with China having to do with cooking oil and other elements of trade as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce cooking oil ourselves. We don't need to purchase it from China. Aye, aye, Captain. I'm sure you've just terrified China with your social media posts. Oh, you look so strong, Donald. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom posted the following. Donald Trump is a babbling old man who can't remember what year it is. He's very sickly mentally, memory problems and more.
5:19Ben Meiselas:Pray for him. Well, Governor Newsom not mincing words. Then Governor Newsom posts the following. This photo that the White House published of Donald Trump and Javier Malay, the president of Argentina, after the president of Argentina was in the White House yesterday. And Donald Trump gave Argentina a$20 billion bailout. Governor Newsom writes, wow, our amazing president and the American farmer, he bailed out. Meanwhile, Argentina sending their soybeans to China, undercutting the U.S. market. notable that Donald Trump happy to give$20 billion to Argentina while ripping away health care from 20 million Americans.
6:07Ben Meiselas:I guess that's putting America last now, isn't it, Donald? Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to beg for money from his supporters. Ben, I subscribe to his email so you don't have to. Ben, I need your help. Ben, I hate asking my supporters for help, But today, it's just one of those days where I don't have an option. Ben, I need your help. My mid-month deadline is tomorrow. And I need you to help me reach my presidential fundraising goal ASAP. Your presidential fundraising goal for what? For what are you talking about? I just want everybody to know that's why his intentions are running in 2028 unlawfully to further shred our constitution.
6:51Ben Meiselas:He sent this email out to his supporters as well. Start interview with Donald Trump. Ben, I've been waiting for you. Do you have time for an interview with me? Then when you click the link, it brings you to an area where it says, can you give me some money, Ben? I want some money. Meanwhile, you had Donald Trump mega sycophant. Lindsey Graham went on Sean Hannity last night and he said, guess what? Israel's getting ready to go back into Gaza. As I speak tonight, there are discussions about Israel going back in and they're going to save the tribes that had the guts to stand up against Hamas. Oh, interesting, Lindsey Graham.
7:31Ben Meiselas:Do you mean the tribes that Donald Trump called violent gangs? When Donald Trump said yesterday during that meeting with Javier Malay, Trump said that he supported Hamas being the police force in Gaza going after who he calls are the violent gangs. So you're calling the violent gangs the tribes that are helpful and Donald Trump saying that they're the bad guys and Trump seems to be saying that Hamas is the good guy or that Donald Trump's OK with Hamas being the police force. What the hell is Donald Trump talking about? What are any of these people talking about? More on that in a moment. But let's hear what Lindsey Graham has to say.
8:10Ben Meiselas: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, much better, 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. While all of the, heard what he said? While all the corporate news was spiking the football and buying hook, line, sinker, Donald Trump's narrative that he secured peace in the Middle East and let's do a celebration and say, Donald Trump saved the world.
8:56Ben Meiselas:And then all the corporate media is like, he did it, everybody. I'm sitting here thinking to myself, What the hell are we talking about? Israel and Hamas didn't sign any agreement. Random countries signed agreements, but Israel and Hamas, the two parties that should sign the agreement, they didn't agree to anything. Donald Trump has not agreed to a two-state solution. When Trump was asked about it, he's like, I'll just let the people who did the deal decide about two-state solution. Didn't you say that you did the deal, Donald? Meanwhile, Hamas said that it's not disarming. Israel said that it would go back into Gaza.
9:33Ben Meiselas:So with all of those factors and knowing the region, yes, it's good that there was a ceasefire announced. It's great that 20 hostages were released. Those are good things. But what are we talking about? This isn't a peace deal. Israel and Hamas didn't sign it. This is yet another Donald Trump fraud, like where he says he solved eight wars. He's added this one as the eighth. He's brought in$18 trillion. It's just more Donald Trump fraud. So you heard what Graham said. Now let me contrast it. Donald Trump literally in this clip from yesterday seems to say that he's supporting Hamas, getting rid of who he refers to as the bad gangs.
10:11Ben Meiselas:Now, how much do you want to bet that who Donald Trump refers to as the bad gangs are actually groups in Palestine that he or others in his regime told that they were going to have their back against Hamas in order to try to help the region. But then Donald Trump didn't help them out and they got executed because Trump's saying, I'll just let Hamas go back in because Trump is so freaking thirsty to say he did a deal that he doesn't actually even care about the details of the deal or what the hell the deal even is. Here, 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 that they did take them out and they killed a number of gang members.
10:56And 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 very 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?
11:16Ben Meiselas:Now it's safe. You can walk to work. Isn't that nice? Meanwhile, take a look at this individual right here. Take a look at this individual right here. And this is Donald Trump. I guess they're going. These are young Republicans. And I guess they're going for the Donald Trump vomit inducing looking aesthetic right here. You see what they look like. So Politico broke the big story about how these young Republicans from New York and elsewhere, their group text thread was released. Thousands of private messages from the young Republicans. These are the future leaders of the Republican Party. They joke about gas chambers, slavery and rape.
11:55Ben Meiselas:They refer to I can't even I don't want to read what these things refer to black people. You could read it. I mean, just horrible things, supporting slavery, talking about raping people and Hitler's gas chambers. I mean, I can't even I don't want to say these things, but this is what they were texting and they were having a grand old party time. Now, one thing I do want to remind you, do you remember in 2023 when Donald Trump spoke to the young Republicans at their gala? Remember what he said to them? He said the most courageous act that he had ever done in his life is that when he called sexually assaulting women locker room talk, Donald Trump said a general told him that I've never seen a man more courageous than when you said sexually assaulting women is locker room talk.
12:42Ben Meiselas:That's how Donald Trump talked to these young Republicans at their gala. So when they use this language? Are they using the types of language that they think, I don't know, will please their Fuhrer? You judge for yourself. But here's what Donald Trump said in 2023. You can hear for yourself. Let's play it. But I went onto that stage just a few days later, and a general who's a fantastic general actually said to me, sir, I've been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I've ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened.
13:23And then that woman asked you the first question about it. And I said, locker room talk. It's locker room talk. What the hell? What are you talking? Locker room talk. That was not a great.
13:40Ben Meiselas:That was at the Young Republican Gala. Also remember all those young Republicans would show up at the various PR events during Trump's campaign at the bodega in New York City. They'd be like, look, look, look, all my supporters are here. But they would just be the young Republicans showing up over and over again. That's who they are. I do want to note that yesterday, Israel Defense Forces said its troops opened fire on Palestinians in Gaza City, killing five. They claim that the ceasefire was violated by these Palestinians. The Palestinians are saying Israel violated a ceasefire. I think the death toll yesterday in Gaza was closer to 11 or 12 dead in total.
14:17Ben Meiselas:I mean, there's just more conflicts that are taking place. Hamas is now controlling the streets in Gaza. So what the hell even really happened here? As I've said, it's a Trump fugazi. It's a Trump fraud, a Gaza fugazi by Donald Trump. And then they have on Fox, trade representative Greer, this guy's the head trade representative. This guy's a total clown. And he was asked, so you said you would do 90 deals in 90 days. And Fox is like, but they've done, I think the Fox guy's like, you've done seven. So what do you do when you said you would do 90 deals in 90 days? I'm going to play you the clip before we go, but I want to fact check it before playing you the clip.
14:58Ben Meiselas:We haven't done seven deals. We've done donut hole, zero deals. You know why? Because there's no binding signed deals. Binding, signed, that have detailed terms. Donald Trump posting on social media or PR press releases that talk about intentions to do things are not deals. What do you consider to be the seven, Fox? Japan? Japan says they're not giving $600 billion or$550 billion. So what the hell is that deal made up? The EU is not giving$700 billion dollars. What's that deal that you think is actually taking place? South Korea is not giving 350 or 400 billion. So what's that deal? So it's just a bunch of made up stuff.
15:43Ben Meiselas:Even the ones that you claim are deals are not real deals. So there wasn't 90. There were seven fake deals announced and out of a claim that there would be 90. So I want to be very clear. There hasn't been seven real deals. Trade deals are like a thousand pages long, and these are lengthy documents. They're signed by the parties, right? Also, when you think about the peace deal, I'm like, why isn't anybody talking about the fact that the parties didn't freaking sign it? Israel and Amas didn't sign it. Same thing here when we're talking about these trade deals. Have we lost our minds? The parties haven't signed the agreements.
16:20Ben Meiselas:They're not binding deals. I don't know how does the whole establishment of grownups, of adults, pretend things that aren't signed by both parties are deals. Seriously. Anyway, play this clip of Greer. You know, back in April, there was this pause. And back then, Peter Navarro, White House senior trade counselor, said, we get the potential here to do 90 trade deals in 90 days. As you look at the graphic, the trade deals that have been finalized, there have really only been seven official agreements that have been reached. So for the people who look at that and say, this is a danger sign looking at 2026, what do you say to them?
16:57Sure. So first of all, the deals we've reached cover a huge percentage of U.S. trade. With Canada and Mexico, a lot of the trade between Canada and Mexico is flowing quite freely. Canada had some retaliation, which they removed. We had Turkey that had retaliation, they removed. So there's actually no more retaliation in the world except for China.
