In short

The episode claims Donald Trump has been “caught on tape” and alleges the Trump administration is unleashing chemical warfare via ICE and the U.S. military, including detentions, beatings, and concentration-camp conditions. It highlights multiple Chicago incidents: ICE agents chasing and threatening people for filming, using tear gas on families, refusing to identify themselves, and pointing guns at bystanders; volunteers trapped in an alley and pepper-bullet guns used. It also cites a Camp Pendleton story: ICE detained the parents of Marine Steve Rios after deporting the father, later releasing them with ankle monitors. Other examples include Portland/Beaverton protests where migrants and construction workers are targeted, and Broadview Detention Center protests where Levi Rawls describes being hit with non-lethal rounds.

1:08Ben Meiselas: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. Well, give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required,$15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. Donald Trump has been caught on camera yet again. We have the video. We have the photographs. We have the receipts as Donald Trump launches invasions with chemical warfare in states, cities, and towns across the United States.

1:47Ben Meiselas:please do me this favor and share this video with as many people as possible. This series that I do on the Midas Touch Network, I think, is perhaps the most important work we do here. It's important that we let others in this country know what is going on as people in this country are being disappeared, beaten, killed, sent to concentration camps. It's important that we let the rest of the world know what is actually happening here in the United States. This first clip I want to share with you comes from our friends over at Status Coup News. We're going to be doing a lot more work with Status Coup News.

2:22Ben Meiselas:I think they do great on the ground work. Make sure you subscribe to their YouTube channel as well. I want you to watch as their video journalist who was on the ground captures this moment. You're going to want to watch until the end here. Watch what goes down as you have these ICE agents chasing this individual at the facility in Chicago. Let's play it.

3:02Oh Go go go

3:13Ben Meiselas:Now, in this next clip right here, you'll see ICE using tear gas on families in Chicago's residential neighborhood just because citizens gathered to film what ICE was doing. And this comes after the federal courts are preventing chemical warfare against citizens and journalists. The fact that I even have to say that is a thing I never had to say as an American, but ICE is ignoring the court's order and engaging in chemical warfare on communities and trying to severely injure people here. Watch this. Get out of here. Get out of here now. Get the fuck out of here. Get out. Get the fuck out.

4:02You fucking collards! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!

4:13Ben Meiselas:In this next clip, you'll see, again, this is in Chicago, Illinois. Again, ICE is trying to ratchet up things even more to try to justify the invasion by the United States military in Chicago. ICE agent refuses to take off mask and identify himself. The agent goes, I don't want to get COVID. The agent then threatens to arrest the U.S. citizen driving the car, pulls out the gun and points at neighbors asking questions. And again, this is in violation of federal court orders. Here, play this clip. This is a warning. When we leave and if you keep following us, we will place you under arrest for impeding operations and telling us, ma 'am.

4:53I'm warning you. I am letting you know, okay? And you can feel me saying that. I'm filming you right now talking to you. Why don't you take off your mask? Because I don't want COVID. So here. That's because of COVID. Can we see badge numbers? November 5-3. Okay. Let's see everyone's badge numbers. No, no. I'm going to tell you right now. You need to leave and quit following us or we're going to yank you out of this car. Both of you. Okay? That's correct. Okay. Okay. But you understand my warning, right?

5:17Ben Meiselas:No, I don't. What do you need me to explain? I need you to get the fuck out of this neighborhood. No, no, no. That's not going to happen. We're doing operations here, man. And that's the problem. I don't care. Are you saying that right now? What you just said is proof that you're impeding our operation. Okay. So do you want me to yank you out of this car? But you need to quit tailing us. We are not leaving. There, back up your car and let's see if you'll move. We'll let you leave. This is me warning you and trying to be civil with you. Just as much as you're forming us, we're filming you too. Yeah.

5:48Okay. Yeah, likewise. Watch out. Watch out. Hey, sir, he's leaving. Hey. Whoa. Hey. Hey. Whoa, why are we pointing guns at people?

6:17You guys okay? Yeah, we're fine. We're trying to use intimidation techniques. We'll be following them for like 20 minutes.

6:27Ben Meiselas:This next clip right here comes from Gregory Royal Pratt. Good job taping what's going on. You'll see ICE agents threatening to arrest a cyclist for recording them in Chicago. Let's play this clip.

6:45I'm going to give you one more thing. You keep following us and we'll be arrested. You understand? You understand? You don't follow us. It's safe, it's not safe to follow. It's going to be over to me. Get out of here. Follow it.

7:26Ben Meiselas:Now, in this next video right here, again, brought to you in Chicago, ICE traps volunteers in a Chicago alley, then holds them at gun points. Agents first aimed pepper bullet guns inside the car, then they pull their guns on bystanders just for documenting and asking them to take their masks off. Ice waits in alleys and rushes out to grab individuals when spotted and then draws their guns and starts pointing it in people's faces. Here, play this clip. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

8:16Whoa.

8:40Shit.

9:20Ben Meiselas:This next video here is what's going on outside the ICE facility in war-torn Portland. The war is being brought by the Trump ICE Gestapo. The people just want to live in peace. Watch this. Here, play this clip.

10:00Ben Meiselas:Now, I think this is really important for me to bring this up. The Medicare annual enrollment period is here. This is the time to compare your options. If you don't, your costs could go up, your coverage could change, or your plan could disappear entirely. So listen up. That's why I recommend you reach out to our partners chapter.

That's 82 Medicare and get honest advice today. Give them a call and let me know how it goes in the comments below. I know the Midas Mighty have been very happy with the results. This next video I'm going to share with you is a story about ICE detaining both parents of a U.S.

11:16Ben Meiselas:Marine after already deporting the father. The parents arrested on a visit to their pregnant daughter at Camp Pendleton, who was also married to a Marine. Mom and dad both are green card applicants sponsored by the Marine Corps' son. He joined Marines out of high school to serve this country and to try to put some time in. Steve Rios served four years in active duty and is currently still serving in the reserves. His parents had valid work visas and no criminal record. Let's play it. The parents of a U.S. Marine are being detained by immigration officials. The couple's children tell us their parents were taken into custody by ICE while trying to visit their pregnant daughter on Camp Pendleton.

11:56NBC7's Shelby Bremer spoke with the family as they searched for answers. She's live for us outside the gate there at Camp Pendleton where it happened. Shelby. Yeah, Catherine, Monica, Steve Rios is a Marine, and he and his parents were headed to this gate behind me to pick up his sister and her husband, who's also a Marine. They do that every weekend. But two Sundays ago, it all changed. And they wanted to share their story, I think, because this is a family that's just bursting with pride. When you step inside the Rios family home in Oceanside, you know immediately who lives there. So I joined right out of high school.

12:33Steve Rios spent four years as an active-duty Marine and is now in the reserves. He enlisted because of his parents, Esteban and Louisa. Making them proud, right? I've seen all the struggles they've gone through. They came to the U.S. from Mexico about 30 years ago, he says, and have washed cars and cleaned houses sun up to sun down for his whole life. The least I could do, right, and serve this country and try to, you know, put some time in, I don't think amounts to what they've done. I mean, you look at my mom and she just has so much love in her eyes for us. His little sister Ashley never thought she'd marry a Marine too, but now she lives on Camp Pendleton.

13:09Her family was coming to take her and her husband to breakfast on September 28th when they were stopped at the gate. And Steve says ICE arrived. It was scary. As soon as I heard that, I just started like bawling. And he asked what was wrong. And I said that my parents were getting taken. They were detained but released later that day with ankle monitors and told to check in with ICE downtown. Steve thought it would be quick. He says he's proud to now be sponsoring their green cards and they have work visas while they wait. That pride goes both ways. I remember every birthday he'd make me like a personalized card and he just loves to stress about how proud he is that his son's trying as much as he is.

13:53It extends to his wardrobe too. This is what he wore to check in on Thursday. He said, yeah, it's my lucky shirt, so we'll be fine. So it was what he was wearing when, for the second time, ICE agents led him and his wife away. It's just hard because you just want to hear your parents' voice that everything's going to be okay. They've taken Ashley out every week for the past few months because she's expecting her first child. I'd always want my mom in that delivery room and everything. So it's just hard to not think about your parent there. Now they don't know what's going to happen, but they do have faith.

14:28Ben Meiselas:This next video comes from Sunnyside in Kedzie in Chicago. You'll see in Chicago, the bystanders helped clear ice from the streets. Let's play it.

14:58Watch you guys here. Fuck you guys. Aquí viene la migra. Fucking power. You should be ashamed. Destroying people's lives. Kidnapping them. Pieces of shit. Get the fuck out of here. Pieces of shit. Aquí viene la migra. Migra. Migra. Migra. Migra. Ahí se esta. Migra. Migra. Migra. Aquí esta la migra. La migra esta. Aquí esta migra.

15:37Ben Meiselas:And this next clip brought to you by Pablo Manriquez, our friend over at Migrant Insider, a man detained over here by ICE. And you'll see how the community responds to this. This is in Chicago. Let's play it. Yo, what do you do? What do you do? What do you do? What do you do? What the fuck did he do to you?

16:05Is this what it feels like to be a fucking cuck? Fucking cuck? Pull your mask down. Let everybody show what the fuck you're doing to a man to fucking citizens. You think this is fucking funny? What do you do? What do you do? What do you do?

16:34I didn't know the fucking cock circuits was in town, bro. Show us your fucking face. Fucking clown. Go ahead. Shake that shit. Go ahead. Shake that shit. Spray that shit. Go ahead. Go ahead, spray that shit Spray that shit on American citizens Fucking domestic terrorists You're a fucking domestic terrorist Pull it up, go ahead Pull it up Pull it up, go ahead

17:20Ben Meiselas:This next clip, again, brought to you by our friends at Status Coup News. Subscribe to their YouTube channel. They're doing great on the groundwork. As you know, it's a priority of mine to amplify the courageous citizen journalists who are doing on the groundwork. That's why I spoke with the student, the Status Coup News folks this week. We're going to be working a lot more together. I'm really excited about collaborating with them. This is an individual by the name of Levi Rawls. He's among the first protesters to carry out peaceful, unarmed site protests at the Broadview Detention Center in mid-September.

17:58Ben Meiselas:And you'll see that he was kind of shot repeatedly with non-lethal rounds. And here's how he tries to think about this in his own mind. Here, play this clip.

18:13I would have taken my shirt off. All right. You've got a new shirt. Jesus. Holy fuck. Holy shit.

18:25Ben Meiselas:From yesterday, it seems you got targeted specifically. Yeah. They don't seem to like us touching the fence, so I'm just going to touch the fence. Do you feel like you have a constitutional right to protest in this country anymore? I think it goes deeper than that, man. Talk to me. Tell me. So I, you know, I heard about, I'm worried about my friends, you know, some of them are getting tracked by eyes. Some of them are, you know, had, you know, been targeted because what we've done, sometimes it crosses the line. Even though we may be justified in our anger, I don't think we understand that some people may be justified in their anger, even if they don't get the facts straight.

19:06So anyway, I went down to the bridge around the corner to pray. I like to be in places that are dirty and dark and damp because, you know, you feel like you take everything sacred away and the only thing sacred left is like, you know, what's in your heart. And I didn't know what to do, right? I feel like the world can't change. So, you know, I just, you know, pray. I'm not saying anything in particular. I don't pretend to know the Bible.

19:30Ben Meiselas:This right here is in Beaverton, Oregon, as the community is trying to protect people who are working, construction workers, who are migrants, as ICE wanted to try to get somebody on a roof, a migrant on a roof. Let's play it. Where did it from you go? No, there's no Michelin. So what are you doing, sir? I'm not going to insert anything. So why do y 'all go to the roof? No, because we know what situation is because we're on the roof.

20:04Ben Meiselas:And here you'll see Portland protesters getting assaulted by Trump's goons. Let's play it. Don't put your hand on his neck, bitch. What are you talking about? He didn't do anything. He didn't do anything. He didn't do anything. Do you feel like a big man? Coward! Coward! Coward! I literally assaulted him. Yeah, you did. I watch it and I got it on a fucking video, you fucking factions. You guys are...
