2:18Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a disastrous Saturday morning. He is ranting and raving like a lunatic after horrific economic data came out on Friday showing that inflation is surging. Donald Trump decided to take out an op-ed on Saturday in the Wall Street Journal to claim that his economy is doing fantastic. And then he had the White House and other government accounts post it as though the Wall Street Journal was writing an article praising Donald Trump when it was just an op-ed that Donald Trump took out where he lied about everything. Donald Trump has also been talking about his golden arch in Washington, D.C.

3:00Ben Meiselas:this morning. People from the Trump regime are posting about building a Grand Prix race car track around the Capitol building. Donald Trump is talking about doing a 100 ,000 people stadium around the White House for having UFC fights to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. And we are learning more about Donald Trump and Trump regime's connections inside the Epstein files. And it is ghoulish and grotesque from Howard Lutnick to Elon Musk, to Donald Trump, to Donald Trump's latest pick to become the chairman of the Federal Reserve who was on the list to go to a party at these islands of Epstein.

3:45Ben Meiselas:It is some real grim and dark stuff. Let's go through it all right now. So this was Donald Trump's op-ed that he did in the Wall Street Journal that the White House account posts as though it was an article from the Wall Street Journal, which it was not. And the White House goes, the experts were all wrong. Donald J. Trump in the Wall Street Journal, my tariffs have brought America back. Then Donald Trump says the Wall Street Journal has repeatedly stated that tariffs are nothing but a tax on American consumers, which has proved to be totally false. Experience since Liberation Day has proved that this analysis is not only far too simplistic, it is absolutely wrong.

4:27Ben Meiselas:The data shows that the burden or incidence of the tariffs has fallen overwhelmingly on foreign producers and middlemen, including large corporations that are not from the U.S. We know that's false. We know it's being passed on to the consumers, Donald. We know that our prices are increasing. Then Donald Trump says, I inherited an economy ravaged by the radical policies of sleepy Joe Biden and his allies in Congress and only 12 months into my second term in office, we now have the exact opposite. Extremely low inflation and extraordinarily high economic growth. Excuse me. On Friday, here's what we learned.

5:06Ben Meiselas:The December PPI inflation came in at 3 % above the expectations of 2.7%. Core PPI inflation unexpectedly rose to 3.3 % above expectations of 2.9%. Core PPI inflation is now at its highest level since July 2025 and is way hotter than expected. And we all know that from going out to having to buy groceries and going to stores, things are far more expensive right now. Stop gaslighting us. And I'll tell you what economists were saying about former President Biden's economy that he handed to you when he left, that it was the envy of the world and it was the Goldilocks economy, that it was just right.

5:51Ben Meiselas:And so while the American people are suffering and Trump is gaslighting, he continues to rant and rave like a lunatic on social media. He's making posts like this. The theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the$19 billion originally projected. The Biden administration knew this fraud was happening and did nothing about it. The$19 billion number is a fake number, not tethered to reality. Former President Biden's Department of Justice was prosecuting the fraud. And you know where those prosecutors are right now? They engaged in a mass resignation under your regime, Donald, because you've weaponized the Department of Justice in such a heinous and despicable way.

6:37Ben Meiselas:And they see you pardoning the biggest fraudsters out there, the biggest drug traffickers out there. You're one of the biggest fraudsters out there. You're a felon, you're a criminal, and that is how you are behaving in the White House as well, where all someone needs to do is funnel money your way and they get a pardon, despite engaging in some of the most heinous acts. And what all you care about is not what the American people are experiencing, but your golden ballroom or your great Gatsby and furry parties or whatever the hell is going on at Mar-a-Lago. What was the latest one? Some showgirl in a bubble ball that was in the water, gyrating some strange stuff.

7:21Ben Meiselas:Half naked girls in martini glasses while the American people are suffering right now. Oh, and what of course you care about is your golden arch. All we hear now about is the golden arch. We move on from the golden ballroom. By the way, a federal judge, Judge Leon, is likely going to be blocking the construction of that golden ballroom. as I saw some papers saying, you're the demolition man. You just destroy, but you can't build. But onto the golden arch right here. Here's what the Washington Post is saying about the golden arch that you keep on talking about. Trump wants to build a 250 foot tall arch for America's 250th anniversary.

8:00Ben Meiselas:The structure would tower over nearby memorials, changing DC's skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial. It's also spooking experts who say it's just too big. And by the way, here's a photo of it right here. Fun fact, Trump's arch in Washington would be the second largest triumphal arch ever designed, as this Chris Wiki account says. The second largest ever designed after Hitler's plan but never built 383 foot arch in Berlin. As I said, the Trump regime, they keep on posting photos like this about a Grand Prix racetrack that they want to build around the Capitol building. They want to build that UFC stadium with 100 ,000 people in the stadium.

8:48Ben Meiselas:Here's the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's post. Start your engine, America, he writes. Start your engine. We don't want Grand Prix racetracks in Washington, D.C. or UFC stadiums that the taxpayers pay for or golden ballrooms or golden arches. People just want health care, a good education. We want to raise our families in peace. We don't want Donald Trump continuing to provoke wars across the world. We want to be good allies to countries that have been there for us and not disrespect our NATO allies and others. That's what the American people want. We want to go about our lives and live with happiness and not have this utter chaos like Nicki Minaj in the Oval Office wearing Trump 2028 hats.

9:33The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about the way I live, eat, and take care of my body. Mosh, which you may have heard about on Oprah's Favorite Things, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission, to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, and research. Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's and since then she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease. Mosh joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar.

10:06Each Mosh bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like ashwagandha, lion's made collagen, and omega-3s, plus a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient you won't find in any other bar. Mosh is the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patent form of Cytoclean. Mosh bars also actually taste great and come in nine mouth-watering flavors, including three new plant-based flavors, chocolate chip cookie, hazelnut chocolate chip, and peanut butter chocolate chip. But here's the best part to make you feel good. Mosh also donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender-based brain health research through the women's Alzheimer's movement.

10:49Why gender-based? Well, two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women. MOSH is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research. I'm truly a huge fan of MOSH and their mission. Plus, it's a huge bonus that that peanut butter chocolate chip MOSH bar tastes delicious. Trust me, I won't steer you wrong. You have to try it.

11:32Ben Meiselas:dot com slash midas and as a quid pro quo for her support of donald trump she gets something called a Trump gold card to now have a path to citizenship where she was undocumented before, while undocumented people in the United States are getting terrorized and tortured as are American citizens getting gunned down by Donald Trump's border patrol and ICE Gestapo. Now, Pete Buttigieg was on state regime media this morning. Here's what he had to say when he was speaking with Kayleigh McEnany. And Pete Buttigieg, the former transportation secretary, actually has the right priorities, Unlike Duffy, who got famous from Real World Road Rules Challenge, whose priorities are building race car tracks.

12:18Ben Meiselas:And I guess that's part of his transportation portfolio because it involves cars. Watch as Pete Buttigieg talks about how the murder of Alex Preti has galvanized the United States against this Trump regime. Play this clip. I think seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, and then after having his gun removed, being shot in the back up to 10 times, and then having the government say that he was a terrorist all along, based on no evidence besides the fact that he was a lawful concealed carry holder. I think those are the kinds of things that, as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans to say, hey, we need a different direction.

13:00Or even if you do usually vote Republican, we need some balance in our government so that you've got a Congress that isn't just a rubber stamp, that can exercise some oversight over an administration that's gotten out of control.

13:11Ben Meiselas:You know, I think Pete Buttigieg, who's a military veteran who fought bravely in Afghanistan for our country. He says, you know, when you see American women opening up their door and they're confronted by 12 to 13 ICER Border Patrol, Gestapo, SS wearing military outfits, a lot of people are saying that's not America. Here, play this clip. The people who are supposed to be enforcing the law are breaking the law. It's been held in court that they have violated countless court orders. And the people they're going after are not increasingly and proportionally not just the person we can all agree needs to be deported and dealt with, you know, somebody with a criminal record.

13:52But, you know, when you see a five-year-old kid in a Spider-Man backpack being treated, being incarcerated this way, when you see people who did follow the rules, follow the laws, did everything they're supposed to, and they are still getting arrested, mistakenly deported, having their rights violated. When you see an American, this photo of an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen agents, federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire when I was in Afghanistan. Again, on the door of an American porch, I think most people get that that is wrong.

14:29It is not making us safer. And, you know, the border police should be dealing with the border.

14:34Ben Meiselas:More from Pete Buttigieg right here talking about Donald Trump pardoning the biggest drug traffickers out there, the biggest fraudsters out there, people who have caused so much harm to our country. Here, play this clip right here. We have yet to hear an answer from the White House on why the president, President Trump, pardoned the president of Honduras, the ex-president who was convicted in an American courtroom of bringing in, I think, 400, I can't even remember how many millions of tons of cocaine, of billions of individual doses of cocaine into the United States. how did this criminal get a pardon from President Trump?

15:15Did he contribute to the ballroom project? Did he buy some of that cryptocurrency and make the Trump family wealthier? Why are these many fraudsters getting those pardons? And I think the pardon power, whether we're talking about the people who were convicted of beating up cops on January 6th, or whether we're talking about the ex-president of Honduras, should be a much bigger story in this country. Secretary Buttigieg, I would note that Marco Rubio gave an explanation this week. The president felt that the Honduran president, former I should note, was untreated fairly. But thank you for your viewpoint.

15:44We love having alternative viewpoints here.

15:47Ben Meiselas:And then, of course, we're learning more about what is in those Epstein files. To be clear, only three million of the documents have been released. So we think there's at least three million documents missing that the Trump regime is withholding on bogus privilege grounds, saying, oh, it's attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. We can't turn over certain things right there. Okay, total and utter BS. But we're seeing Howard Lutnick's name appear. Remember Howard Lutnick? I'm going to do a whole video on this. Lutnick, when he gave an interview recently with New York Post, said, I saw Epstein and he was so creepy in 2005 when he was my neighbor.

16:30Ben Meiselas:I never talked to him again. I said, that man is disgusting. Well, there were all these emails with Lutnick and Epstein and Lutnick's representatives and Epstein's representatives. Can he come to the island? Can he bring his kids to the island? When can we hang out together? Epstein donated money to Lutnick. I don't know why you have to donate money to a billionaire. When Lutnick was getting an award, Epstein gave him like 50K in 2017. They were like lots of communications. So shocker, Lutnick's lying. shocker Elon Musk is lying Musk is all over the emails I mean like dozens and dozens and dozens like Musk's like all over the thing and Musk's like basically when can I come to the party and I want to come to the island and see the craziest things what are your wildest days I don't want to go when it's tame I want to go to the guy the emails from Elon Musk are ridiculous and then Trump's DOJ removed a document that the Midas touch saved on our sub stack at Midas plus.com And then the DOJ subsequently put it back up again, where there are these horrific allegations, 13, 14 year old girls making these allegations against Donald Trump.

17:40Ben Meiselas:And this is what the DOJ put out there. And so it's unclear if these are corroborated or not corroborated or what actually happened with these. But the Trump DOJ removed that after the Midas Dutch Network put that up. And, you know, I believe victims. OK, and we know that and Donald Trump has attacked victims over and over and over again throughout his life. So we'll keep you posted every step of the way here, you know, as as as we learn more. But three million are probably the worst documents are still being withheld. Anyway, hit subscribe. Help us get to six million. Thanks for watching. New Midas merch drop.
