In short
The episode argues Trump is spiraling into “deranged” late-night posts while the U.S. faces economic and energy pressures. It claims he posted AI videos (including “Dr. Trump” curing “Trump derangement syndrome”) and misleading promises about gas prices falling via a “Freedom Fuel Network” at 25 stations around greater Philadelphia, plus bragging about a Qatar Air Force One. It cites Iran officials saying IAEA inspectors won’t be allowed into nuclear sites, and criticizes a U.S. fertilizer emergency declaration (phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco) as evidence U.S. phosphate production is insufficient. It also points to falling Strategic Petroleum Reserve levels at Cushing, Oklahoma. Notable examples include Brooke Rollins admitting fertilizer costs are too high, and Jessica Tarlov criticizing the Qatar jet’s $400M refurbishment.

0:29Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown at 1 a.m. as he is frantically trying to conceal the dire economic condition the United States is in. As a result of his catastrophic war in Iran, Donald Trump was posting videos of himself aboard the Qatari Air Force One and saying how Americans should be proud that Qatar gave us the new Air Force One. Then he was posting AI videos of himself as a doctor. He was also saying that he is keeping his promises and having oil prices plummet fast and that gas prices will be coming down on July 3rd because of something called a Freedom Fuel Network that's lowering gas prices at 25 Freedom Fuel stations across the greater Philadelphia area.
1:20Ben Meiselas:And he posted images of what appear to be AI Freedom Fuel Network stations. And he says that these freedom fuel networks are going to spread across the country. And so that all Americans are going to feel relief going into the July 4th holiday. I think Donald Trump realizes that the American people are absolutely livid right now, that they can't afford gas, they can't afford groceries, they can't afford anything. So Donald Trump's like, the freedom fuel network, or don't you love the Qatari jet? Or you want to see Donald Trump as an AI doctor? No. Meanwhile, you have Iran's parliament leader and lead negotiator, M.B.
2:03Ben Meiselas:Galabaf, on Iranian media discussing how Iran is not going to allow IAEA inspectors into their nuclear sites. And he said, we never agreed to that. Also, you have Iran's deputy foreign minister calling out CENTCOM for its threats and violations of the MOU, while the Trump regime tries to cover up an emergency declaration it made regarding fertilizer. Yesterday, the Trump regime tried to keep this under the radar, but it's a really big deal. And it's something that we've been warning about the same way we've been warning about the crack spreads, which is the difference between the price of crude and the price of gas coming from refineries and how the gas prices are not going down, despite the fact that crude prices are going down, which appears to be being caused by market manipulation.
3:00Ben Meiselas:In any event, the Trump regime issued this emergency declaration from the U.S. State Department Near Eastern account on X, Declaration of Emergency and Authorization for Temporary Duty Fee Importation of Phosphate Fertilizer from Morocco. And when you actually read this declaration, it says exactly what we've been warning about here on the Midas Touch Network. It says, currently, United States production of phosphate fertilizer is insufficient to support domestic agriculture food production after accounting for exports. It's exactly what we've been warning about. While Donald Trump is saying, no, the farmers are living through a golden age and everything is amazing.
3:52Ben Meiselas:There's also a reason why in this defense supplemental, the Trump regime is doing yet another bailout of farmers. Also, one of the things that we've seen is that the strategic petroleum reserves in Cushing, Oklahoma, continue to fall rapidly here in the United States. It's one of the reasons that you don't see gas prices going down rapidly. And now Donald Trump is talking about freedom fuel networks are going to save the day. Hope is right around the corner. And I'll just share this with you. This was the video that Donald Trump was posting at 1 a.m., this AI video of himself as a doctor saying, I'm going to cure Trump derangement syndrome.
4:36Ben Meiselas:Watch what he posted here. Play this clip. Someone you know been diagnosed with TDS? The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I'm Dr. Trump, and I have a treatment plan. Let's hear what some of my patients have to say. I have been suffering for over a decade. And after listening to Dr. Trump, I can see some results. I mean, it's just so utterly humiliating that the president of the United States is posting videos like that at 1 a.m. You know, but perhaps equally humiliating. It's stuff like this that he was posting as well. He posts, Hegseth, we must spend big on defense to save America's economic might.
5:14Ben Meiselas:And then he writes, the single greatest threat to America's national security today is underinvestment in military spending. Our future economic health depends on it. You spent like a trillion dollars last year on the military industrial complex while taking away people's Medicaid, while taking away people's health care, while taking away critical services that people relied on to live. Now you're demanding$1.5 trillion in spending while the American people suffer. And the American people realize how badly this regime is screwing them over. I mean, have you seen some of the latest polling data out of Iowa, out of Georgia, where the Democratic candidates are surging ahead of the MAGA candidates?
6:03Ben Meiselas:You look at the Iowa Senate race where the Democratic candidate Turek beating the MAGA Republican candidate Hinson. You look at Georgia where you have Democratic Senator Ossoff beating the MAGA Republican candidate Collins by a significant margin in Georgia. Also, in the Georgia governor's race, you have Keisha Lance Bottoms beating Rick Jackson by a significant margin there. I think we're seeing this wave build and build and build right now as Donald Trump digs this country into a bigger hole. Also, Donald Trump was posting the following, how the Republican Senate is not firing the parliamentarian who was appointed by radical left Senator Harry Reid.
6:52Ben Meiselas:I mean, you're attacking the late, great Harry Reid late at night. Like, what are you doing? like what a deranged human being, to attack Harry Reid. He goes, by radical left Senator Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama is beyond me. She, the parliamentarian, has been ruling unfairly against Republicans for years. And majority leader John Thune has the right to do it immediately. Fire the parliamentarian. Fire the parliamentarian. Let me show you what was going down yesterday as well, where you had Donald Trump's agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, admit that fertilizer prices are way too high, that our agriculture community is struggling.
7:40Ben Meiselas:They recognize the dire situation that our country's in, and they've been trying to cover it up. But I think, I mean, you're looking at Iowa, you look at other states, farmers have had enough. The American people have had enough. Here, play this clip. However, fully recognizing that fertilizer is still way too high and at a time where our row croppers, especially our ag community, our ag economy is struggling under high cost of inputs, the effect of the Iranian conflict bears repeating. But then Donald Trump's EPA had began his remarks at this event that was supposed to be about rising fertilizer costs by saying the following.
8:23Ben Meiselas:Here play this clip.
8:28So I have to admit, sometimes I'll get up in the morning and I'll realize I had a bunch of different dreams that night before, but I don't remember any of them. I just remember that I had a whole lot of dreams at night. I'm actually more confident that I know what Brooke Rollins and Stephen Vaden and the USDA team is dreaming about at night. That's actually true. I am highly confident.
8:54Ben Meiselas:And by the way, hat tip to Jessica Tarlov, like the only good host on Fox. And she was calling out the MAGA panel and Donald Trump for, you know, Donald Trump bragging about this Qatari jet. By the way, it cost a billion dollars of taxpayer money to refurbish the$400 million Qatari jet that was given to Donald Trump. Here, play this clip of Jessica Tarloff. What? Yeah, I did. I went row by row by row. I have to quibble, though, with the intro where you said like choo choo coming off the Freedom 250 train when you should have said hopped off the Qatari jet to the Teddy Roosevelt library, because I think that that links exactly.
9:38It is a sick burn. Thanks, Emily. I think that links directly to why people have lost faith in the American experiment, especially during the Trump era. Because of the Qatari plane? Well, it gets worse than it. No one even knows that. That's actually, everybody knows. No one knows that story.
9:54Ben Meiselas:Go outside. I'll hire Johnny to go out. No one's heard of it. Here's the story. The Qataris give Donald Trump a$400 million gift slash bribe. Everybody, Democrats and Republicans say, don't take it. Don't take it. It's a national security threat. Also looks really bad. He's like, no, I love this thing. and I'm going to ride it to the opening of the Teddy Roosevelt Library. It's day one. Donald Trump gave that speech yesterday where he was in North Dakota, where he made the guys behind him dress up and cosplay as Rough Riders while he was at the Teddy Roosevelt Center. And then while Donald Trump was talking about the Rough Riders victory, he used that to attack Spain and to attack NATO.
10:39Ben Meiselas:And I just want you to think about how weak this makes us look. While Iran is out there very strategically going through the memorandum of understanding, they've been making sure that they get their ships out with all of their petroleum in order to make massive amounts of money. You've got Donald Trump out there having guys cosplay as rough riders while attacking NATO. It's just so utterly deranged. Let me show you what Trump had to say. Here, play this clip. The Rough Riders' victory at San Juan Heights led directly to the collapse of the Spanish line. Ah, the Spanish. The members of NATO, but not very good members of NATO, they say, no, we don't want to help other people.
11:33What are we doing, huh? They are not behaving nicely. But they will learn soon after they relinquish their grip on Cuba and Guam, the Philippines and Puerto Rico.
11:46Ben Meiselas:Also, while the people in Venezuela are suffering from the horrific, horrific tragedy of the back-to-back earthquakes that took place over there, Donald Trump continues unflinching support for the authoritarian regime in Venezuela, for Delcy Rodriguez and Diestato Cabello. The Trump regime has been attacking Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Carino Machado over her efforts to return to Venezuela following last week's devastating earthquake, calling the move a distraction. They say that Machado is involved in political opportunism. It's grotesque what she is doing. They're saying in the Trump regime that Machado just wants to go back to Venezuela for photo ops to show herself passing out aid to the people.
12:42Ben Meiselas:This is about her interest, not the people of Venezuela. Again, while the Trump regime supports Delce Rodriguez and Díaz-Dado Cabellos, they've been blocking a lot of the aid to the people in Venezuela. And they've been kind of blocking or slowing down a lot of the rescue effort there. But Trump and Rubio and everybody in the regime attacking Machado, who they made her give Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, while Donald Trump continues to make these deranged posts all night while the people in Venezuela suffer, which is just absolutely, absolutely horrific. We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
