In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump’s recent return to Washington, D.C. was a “disaster landing” marked by weakness, anti-vax conspiracy spreading, and calls for Pam Bondi to prosecute “everybody.” It claims Trump repeatedly lied about ending atrocities in Gaza and ending the Ukraine war within 24 hours. It cites Financial Times reporting recession-like conditions in U.S. manufacturing/construction, mass layoffs, and suppressed data. It alleges Trump will bail out Argentina’s Javier Milei while sanctions target Brazil’s Supreme Court judge’s wife after Brazil prosecuted Bolsonaro-era insurrectionists; it also claims Brazil’s China ties hurt U.S. soybean farmers. It highlights claims about U.S. attacks on Venezuelan fishing boats and Trump posting death videos. It also criticizes Trump’s autism statistics and a proposed Tylenol link, plus bullying South Korea over $350B. No guests are identified in the transcript.

0:42Way fair, every style, every home.
0:51Ben Meiselas:That's from Italy today, where there is a general strike taking place as their Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney, refused to recognize the Palestinian state, whereas Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia recognize the Palestinian state. We can say that Donald Trump has created great instability across the world right now as his promises have gone unfulfilled. He promised that he would end the atrocities in Gaza in 24 hours. Yet again, Donald Trump is an utter liar. Donald Trump claimed that he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and of course, a complete and utter liar. Donald Trump returning from Arizona, a disastrous trip back to Washington, D.C., where he spread anti-vax conspiracies, continued to talk about how he wants his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to prosecute, quote, everybody, and just generally looked very sickly and weak.
1:51Ben Meiselas:We'll talk about that in just a moment. But I want to put these headlines from this morning side by side for you. So Financial Times reports that U.S. manufacturing and construction are experiencing recession-like conditions right now. Remember, Donald Trump promised a manufacturing boom. Well, according to all of the data, much of which Donald Trump wants to suppress, manufacturing and construction is suffering right now. The job market there is absolutely awful with the mass layoffs we've been seeing and we've been reporting about, and which Donald Trump is covering it up. But don't worry, folks, because Donald Trump's America First policy means that our manufacturing workers, construction workers, farmers, and Americans in general get screwed.
2:42Ben Meiselas:But guess who benefits right now? The Trump regime is looking to bail out one of their favorite strongmen, who's actually a weak, pathetic, vile piece of trash, like Donald Trump, Argentina's leader, Javier Malay, who's run Argentina into the ground on Trump-like policies. Now our Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says, America first means bailing out Donald Trump's buddy in Argentina. Remember that guy in LA? He held the chainsaw like Elon Musk did, that freaking maniac over there. Not doing too well. But, you know, Donald Trump, when he thinks about what he views as success, It's inflation-laden, suffering, hungry Viktor Orban.
3:30Ben Meiselas:It's Russia, whose economy is also in the trash. It's Javier Millet. Donald Trump looks up to Bukele. You know, it's people like that. Not like actually other countries that have strong GDPs. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says, Argentina is a systemically important U.S. ally in Latin America. and the U.S. Treasury stands ready to do what is needed within its mandate to support Argentina. All options for stabilization are on the table. These options may include but are not limited to swap lines, direct currency purchases, and purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated government debt from Treasury, exchange stabilization funds.
4:11Ben Meiselas:Opportunities for private investment remain expansive, and Argentina will be great again. Yeah, Argentina will be great again. These people are so pathetic in the Trump regime. I get it. Your authoritarian buddy, Javier Malay, asked for a bailout. So screw over the American workers. Build your 90 ,000 square foot ballroom and destroy the Rose Garden and build Club Rose Garden and hang out with the king in Windsor Palace. And while Americans are suffering right now. But while Donald Trump is bailing out Javier Malay, he is imposing Magnitsky law sanctions against a Brazilian Supreme Court judge's wife.
4:57Ben Meiselas:They've already sanctioned the Brazilian Supreme Court judge. Now they're going after the wife of the Brazilian Supreme Court judge because America is attacking Brazil. Why? Because Brazil successfully prosecuted its insurrectionist former president. And that pisses Donald Trump off that Jair Bolsonaro, who's a Trumpy authoritarian who tried to overthrow the Brazilian election, actually got successfully prosecuted. The Supreme Court did the right thing in Brazil, unlike our awful, pitiful right-wing fascist Supreme Court in the United States, led by six right-wing extremist justices who gave Donald Trump absolute immunity.
5:41Ben Meiselas:Not only did they not hold Donald Trump accountable, they gave him absolute immunity to engage in the abhorrent dictatorial behavior that stripped away the power of the judiciary and allowed Donald Trump to be the lawless fascist maniac that we see today. But that's what Donald Trump just did in Brazil. So he helped Argentina, but sanctioned the wife of the Brazilian Supreme Court judge. And meanwhile, our soybean farmers and farmers in general are getting their clocks cleaned here in the United States as Brazil has developed stronger relationships with China. China's not buying our soybeans. A lot of our produce is being replaced by Brazilian agriculture.
6:24Ben Meiselas:We had a surplus with Brazil as well, but I guess Donald Trump liked Javier Malay holding up that chainsaw because our regime here in the United States is completely moronic. Let's give you some more data, some more details about Trump's disastrous landing back to Washington, D.C. Donald Trump bragging that there are no more boats in the water in the Caribbean by Venezuela because if you are fishing there, you may be killed by the United States government who will claim that you are narco-terrorist. The United States government has killed at least 19 people off the coast of Venezuela in fishing boats, small 24 feet fishing boats.
7:10Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump then posts the death videos on his private social media account, OnTruthSocial, and then he brags about killing the people. He says they're narco-terrorists. We don't get any additional data. And then even former Vice President Vance jokes, if you're in a fishing boat, we may kill you, That's the United States regime right now. For you here, Donald Trump boasts about there are no boats in the water. Well done, Donald. Using the United States military to ensure that there are no fishing boats in the Caribbean. Well done, Donald. Well done. Here, play this clip. On Venezuela, you said that, let me quote your tweet there.
7:49There are no boats in the water anymore. Yes, well, you said. Traditional boats. You don't even find a fishing boat. You don't even find cruise liners anymore. There's nothing in the water near Venezuela that's actually straight. You know what that means? That means there are no drugs coming in.
8:06Ben Meiselas:You said that the price they'll pay will be incalculable if they don't take people back. What does that mean? You're gonna have to figure that out. That one, yeah.

9:48Ben Meiselas:There is perhaps a little bit of increase in autism. Oftentimes it could be caused by men like in their 60s and 70s having babies. It's more on the man. But let's attack women for getting pain medication and spread conspiracies there. One of the reasons also, though, there's been a better testing methodology regarding learning disabilities that then existed 50 years ago. So there's just more awareness kind of generally. But Donald Trump uses all these false stats. He's like, one in 10 kids have autism. It's just not true. It's just completely false. And then Donald Trump wants to make a link between autism and Tylenol, which has been, again, debunked.
10:30Ben Meiselas:And women should have pain medication. But this is what the Trump regime does. Here, play this clip. Some announcement tomorrow. Multiple news outlets are reporting that you plan to tie Tylenol to increased risk of autism. Can you confirm that? We're going to do it tomorrow. But I think it's a very big factor. I think you'll see what it is tomorrow. We have various things, but you'll see what it is tomorrow. I think it's going to be a very important news conference. And we want things to take effect immediately. You know, if there's a question, even if there's a question, you just do it, right?
11:07But great research has been done. You know, when you think, if you think that, let's say, 15 years ago, they had one in 10 ,000 were born with autism. And now it's, think of it, 1 in 12, 1 in 10.
11:22Ben Meiselas:Talking about international affairs as well, I should mention this, that South Korea's leadership is basically saying, look, President Lee and others, we are not writing the United States a blank check for$350 billion, okay? South Korea's economy would fall into a crisis rivaling its 1997 meltdown if the government just writes a$350 billion check to the United States. So South Korea is saying that was never our intention. By the way, it was never the intention of Japan to write a$550 billion check, nor the intention of Europe to write a$750 billion check. Donald Trump right now is trying to bully South Korea into a Great Depression, which would have a trickle effect to the world economy as well, but happy to bail out Javier Malay of Argentina.
12:18Ben Meiselas:I want you to know that Donald Trump has no clue what's going on in the world as well. Not exactly a shocker, but he doesn't even know the countries when he comes up with his fake peace deals where he goes, I did seven peace deals. He doesn't even know the names of the countries. Can I just show you a brief example? So over the weekend when Donald Trump was speaking in Mount Vernon. He said that he brought peace between Armenia and Cambodia. He created peace. I think he meant Azerbaijan and Armenia. There's not peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia either. If you actually look at what's happening, it was just codifying Azerbaijan taking over disputed territory.
13:01Ben Meiselas:And there's not even peace in there. But here Donald Trump says Cambodia and Armenia. play this clip of them armenia and azerbaijan going on for years they came to my office the two leaders two great guys one was there 22 years one was there seven and they both said during the entire term of their office all they did was kill people on the other side and now they're sitting in my office and they're at the oval office it's pretty wide and they had one over here one over there and slowly over the course of about an hour they came close and at the end of an hour we were hugging each other and holding hands it was an amazing thing and we settled that war that was not settleable as the expression goes cambodia and armenia it was just starting and it was a bad one think of that we have uh let's see cambodia armenia we have kosovo serbia israel iran egypt ethiopia that's a beauty they built a little dam in ethiopia that's like the largest dam in the world and then what two or three days before that donald trump said that he created peace between Abidjabajan and Albania.
14:18Ben Meiselas:He doesn't know how to say Azerbaijan, and he called Armenia Albania. Abidjabajan. Here, play this clip. To think that we settled Abidjabajan and Albania, as an example, it was going on for years. It was never going to be settled. If you remember the prime minister and the presidents and they were there for many years. They said, when they were in my office, we settled and they started off at both sides of the Oval Office so far away. I didn't. Folks, this is the president of the United States who doesn't know what the hell is going on. I should note someone else who doesn't know what the hell is going on, but doesn't care.
14:58Ben Meiselas:He's a Trump stooge, a Trump puppet. He's completely capitulated. The power of Article One, the United States Congress, Magamike Johnson. You saw the video I did earlier where Magamike has canceled the two critical days of voting on September 29th and September 30th, right before a government shutdown is set to take place. Just canceled work. No, they canceled work for the Epstein files. Just canceled work. Canceled work those two days. Why? Trump wants a government shutdown. Why? He sees where our economy is going. He sees that it's going in the trash and he wants to blame Democrats. He wants to shut down Congress as well because they're closer to getting the Epstein files.
15:36Ben Meiselas:But he also knows that the economy's in a bubble. Well, that's putting it generously in the markets because of AI, an AI bubble. But most Americans are suffering right now. Prices are higher. Your gas is not$2 a gallon, okay, despite Donald Trump saying it over and over again. Inflation hasn't been solved despite Donald Trump saying it over and over again. Prices have never been higher before based on his stupid policies against the world. And then Donald Trump says in regards to Pam Bondi, when he's asked, who should be brought to justice by Pam Bondi. Donald Trump says everybody, really, every single everybody.
16:13Ben Meiselas:Here play this clip. That's what's happening here. What they're trying to argue for, not to get too deep in the weeds, is that trying to insist that the Obamacare premium subsidies be continued. That's a December policy debate and decision, not a September funding matter. So they're trying to insert unrelated matters into the middle of a clean government extension. What a complete maniac he is. That's what went down today. We'll keep you posted with more here, as always, on the Midas Touch Network. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million.
