The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child.

3:07So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

3:53Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a devastating Sunday morning. His minions like MAGA Mike Johnson are out there at this Turning Point USA event saying that, look, we're going to face impeachment of Donald Trump unless something changes. If Democrats take control, they're going to impeach this guy for all that he's doing. Oh, don't threaten us with a good time, Maga Mike. Here's what Maga Mike just said moments ago. Let's play this clip. But if we lose the House majority, the radical left, as you've already heard, is going to impeach President Trump. They're going to create absolute chaos. We cannot let that happen.

4:27Ben Meiselas:And let's talk about some of the devastating news Donald Trump got this morning. Again, new polling shows that he, again, least popular president ever. Approval ratings only at 41%, 59 % disapproval. But when you take a look at one of these crosstabs about Trump's approval trends among Hispanic voters right here, in February, it was 49 % approved, 51 % disapproved. Right now, as we head into the Christmas holidays and New Year, approvals at 29%, disapprovals at 71%. So negative 42, a net 40-point negative swing in that time. Now, just talking about that Turning Point USA event just for a moment as well.

5:14Ben Meiselas:It's now being led by Erica Kirk, and she had quite the slip of the tongue when she was speaking earlier. and she said, yeah, it's all a grift. This is all a grift. She basically said, I mean gift. I mean grit. I mean gift grit. Watch what just went down here. Play this clip. Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift, excuse me, gift, grit. It has been a long day. Trust me, you're not a grifter, honey. It's all good. Just a reminder, folks, make sure you hit subscribe. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers. You may think you're subscribed to this YouTube channel, but double check, you know, we're under attack by the Trump regime and by state regime media, which calls itself like.

6:03Ben Meiselas:So just double check that you're subscribed. Also, you have Donald Trump and MAGA Mike panicking as they're hearing. And we've been reporting that other MAGA Republicans are set to quit, resign, some just leaving politics entirely as a result of the destruction. the implosion of this MAGA movement, right? Of course, on Friday, we reported how Elise Stefanik, the MAGA Republican from New York, not only quit the governor's race there, but she quit politics altogether. She's been shamed and humiliated. And so many of these MAGA Republicans are on this retirement watch list. Expect them to announce resignations, I think, in the coming days or perhaps even weeks.

6:46Ben Meiselas:We're focused on that right now. And folks, also, the American people are absolutely livid at the Trump regime's handling of the economy. From that same CBS poll, only 5 % of Americans view the economy right now as an A, whereas the vast majority of Americans, about 70%, give the economy either a C or an F. 25 % view it as a D. 24 % view it as an F. So basically, we're talking about more than half the country or about half the country views the economy as being absolutely horrible because it is absolutely horrible at this time. And very few people actually view this economy as good. I guess unless you're like a multimillionaire or a billionaire, the only way you'll think this is good.

7:30Ben Meiselas:But look, as I mentioned, Donald Trump has his minions out there again today. They're out there saying everything is A plus. Like here is the MAGA Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen saying in the Senate, the Republicans, we did a solid A plus job, solid A plus job. This is what he says here. Let's play this clip. Come that I would say we give us a solid A plus because we have broke just about every record that previous senator or Senate has been able to do. And that's been underneath the leadership of John Thune, of John Brasso, working step in step with the White House every single day, every single day.

8:06Ben Meiselas:Again, Trump sending his minions out as they're involved in this cover up of a child sex trafficking ring. They violated the Epstein Transparency Act. You saw the reports we've done earlier today on the Midas Touch Network where they're deleting files that have already been produced. So they've only produced about 5 % of the overall files that the DOJ has. They were required to produce 100 % and just redact the names of victims, actual victims, and redact their faces or photos or videos where the actual victims are. Now the Trump regime is saying the perpetrators, the rich men who were working with Epstein, that they're the real victims.

8:44Ben Meiselas:The Trump regime has redacted basically everything, and they've turned over only 5 % of the records. There were a few slip-ups where there was like a photo or two of Donald Trump. Then they deleted those. So when we went back to the DOJ website, they deleted those from the files. So Kristen Welker asks Todd Blanche, so why was this photo of Donald Trump that was produced, why was it taken down from the DOJ website? Why did you remove it? And watch Todd Blanche just give you a bunch of word salad because they're covering up the photos that have Donald Trump in it. That's why. Here play this clip produced.

9:21Mr. Blanche, I want to follow up with you on what you just said. You were referencing the 15 files released Friday. They disappeared from DOJ's website yesterday, including this photo of what looks like a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Donald Trump. Just to be very clear, to put a fine point on it, why were these files taken down? You're saying it was at the direction of a judge? Well, you can see in that photo, there's photographs of women. And so we learned after releasing that photograph that there were concerns about those women and the fact that we had put that photo up. So we pulled that photo down.

10:00It has nothing to do with President Trump. There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the public seeing him with Mr. Epstein. He has said that in the 90s and early 2000s, he socialized with him. So the absurdity of us pulling down a photo, a single photo, because President Trump was in it is laughable. And the fact that everybody's trying to act like that's the case is a reflection of their true motivation. But the reality is anybody, any victim, any victim's lawyers, any victim rights group can reach out to us and say, hey, Department of Justice, there's a document, there's a photo, there's something within the Epstein files that identifies me.

10:39And we will then, of course, pull that off and investigate it. Are you saying that one or more of the women in one of the photos or several of the photos is a victim or a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein? And that's why you took those files down? And will they be put back up? No, that's not what I'm saying. Of course, if we knew that, if we believed that that photograph contained a survivor,

11:08Ben Meiselas:we wouldn't have put it up in the first place without redacting the faces. And then Kristen Welker asks Todd Blanchett, just to remind you who Todd Blanchett is, Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, right? This guy is Trump's former lawyer in the case where Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts, right? He's now the number two at the Department of Justice. So he's basically the guy who runs the day-to-day at the DOJ. The Bureau of Prisons reports to him, and this was the guy who interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell in Tallahassee when she was in a maximum security facility because she's a convicted child sex trafficker, right?

11:43Ben Meiselas:That's where convicted child sex traffickers belong, in maximum security facilities where they should be rotting, right? But nope, after Todd Blanch met with her and she lied and said all these things about Trump, which we all know are lies because those 18 ,000 Bloomberg emails or that the House Oversight Committee got those 18 ,000 emails as well. They all got those emails and it showed she lied about everything. And by the way, the Trump regime in their production didn't even produce the duplicates that were in their possession of those 18 ,000 emails that were already discussed that the House Oversight Committee produced and that Bloomberg has been talking about.

12:19Ben Meiselas:Anyway, here's what Todd Blanche says when he's asked, why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? Play this clip. Warren, we're almost out of time. I do want to ask you about Ghislaine Maxwell, who was, of course, convicted in 2021 for her role in helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic his victims. In July, you interviewed her in Florida where she was serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. Just a week later, Maxwell was moved to a more permissive prison camp in Texas. is why was she moved just days after you interviewed her, Mr. Blanche? So that's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about.

13:00Did you have anything to do with it? Did you have anything to do with it? Let me finish. First of all, I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons. So every decision that they make lands on my desk to the extent it needs to. But just let me talk about the security issue. At the time that I met Ms. Maxwell, there was a tremendous amount of scrutiny and publicity towards her and the institution she was in. She was suffering numerous and numerous threats against her life. So the BOP is not only responsible for putting people in jail and making sure they stay in jail, but also for their safety.

13:37Ben Meiselas:Now, folks, a lot going on, not just on the domestic front, but a lot going on in foreign policy as well. Trump's trying to create distractions while all of this is going on. So we're learning now that the U.S. has boarded a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, according to Bloomberg. Now, yesterday they boarded the second, which was actually one that was not subject to sanctions. It had a Panamanian flag on it, and it was heading to China. I think China had purchased two billion barrels of oil, and the United States just basically sees it. What the United States is trying to do is they're trying to provoke a response right now from Venezuela in order to then have the pretext for a war and say, look, everybody, Venezuela attacked us.

14:26Ben Meiselas:So we have to go to war with Venezuela right now. I think it's so important that in today's day and age, with all the Trump regime deception and everything that's taking place, we have a healthy media diet. It's why I get all of my news when I prepare these videos in the morning. I'm off and ask, Ben, where do you get your news from? Well, I use something called Ground News, and I use their Vantage Plan. I stay up to date using Ground News. It's my number one source of news. It's a subscriber-funded app and news site. Every day, they pull in thousands of articles from around the world. They organize them by story and then show you what's the right reporting, what's the center reporting, what's the left reporting.

15:03Ben Meiselas:It's been a game changer for me. And look, as active, responsible citizens, we must get our news from reliable sources. In Trump's America, being informed about facts and media bias, it's the most important thing we can all do. That's why I love ground news. For every article, they also tell you, did a media conglomerate publish it or was it an independent media outlet? And then they list the degree of factuality, which is interesting because a lot of these media conglomerates I see have a little bit of mix to lower factuality than independent media, which has higher factuality. But you get all of that with your ground news vantage subscription plan.

15:35Ben Meiselas:I especially like their blind spot feed, which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum. I mean, you take a look at this story that was reported earlier today, for example, Kremlin, Russia says chances of peace not improved by European and Ukrainian changes to US proposals. What's interesting is that this is being reported mostly by the center, but you notice over here, right wing is actually reporting on this and it's being reported slightly by the left, which I'll talk about in just a moment why I think that's the case. So join us by going to ground.news.mtn, get 40 % off the Ground News Vantage plan that I use every morning.

16:14Ben Meiselas:They are subscriber funded. So by subscribing, you're not only getting a tool we all need today, you're also supporting our work here on this YouTube channel. That's G-R-O-U-N-D.news.mtn. And we've pinned a link for you to purchase your subscription below. That's ground.news slash MTN, get 40 % off that Vantage plan things ground news. So I think that this is probably, if you've been getting your news from kind of left-wing media sources, you know that Trump's proposals to Russia are utterly fake. You've known that for months now. I mean, we at the Midas Touch Network, I've been showing you what Putin's been saying, what the Kremlin's been saying, what Ushakov's been saying, what Dmitryev has been saying, what Lavrov has been saying, all the people around Putin.

17:00Ben Meiselas:So now, so this is the part where like Trump's fraud kind of blows up in his face. And then people are like, oh, I see. So you lied to me. And they just move on to the next one. That's what's going on with this Trump regime. Kristen Welker, by the way, going back to Todd Blanch, she said, why didn't the Justice Department meet the Friday deadline? Like you had an obligation to produce these records by Friday. How come you didn't meet that Friday deadline? Here, play this clip. Why didn't the Justice Department meet that Friday deadline? Good morning. So it's very simple and very and very clear.

17:37The statute also requires us to protect victims. And and so the reason why we are still reviewing documents and still continuing our process is simply that to protect victims.

17:49Ben Meiselas:Then going back to some economic news, Kristen Welker asks Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's national economic advisor. So So if the Supreme Court rules against the Trump regime, are you going to give refunds to the companies in America that have had to pay the tariffs? Because it's American companies that pay the tariffs. And let me show you what happens when when Kevin Hassett is asked these questions on the morning shows here. Let's play this clip. We really expect the Supreme Court is going to find with us. And I also think that if they didn't find with us, that it's going to be pretty unlikely that they're going to call for widespread refunds because it would be an administrative problem to get those refunds out there.

18:30But basically, whoever paid the tariff, like actually cut the check to buy the thing, would be the person who would be getting the refund if there were one. Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that? You're saying the company. it would be like i'm not talking about the incidents right that like so the incidence of the tariff so in the end uh who pays the tariff depends on the elasticity of supply and demand we

18:55Ben Meiselas:know that china cut the price yeah so you see what happens where you basically and by the way i thought it was a good question doesn't the administration claim that it's the country that it's the foreign country that pays it no of course it is the american companies that paid it's what it's what's causing inflation it's why inflation is rising right now inflation was heading down under the former President Biden's policies. And now it's rising in because of all of this utter madness. And it's just a constant barrage of lies from these people. It's lie after lie after lie. So I'll just show you this one right here where Kristen Welker asks Todd Blanche, again, number two at the DOJ, this guy, Eric Siebert, who was your pick.

19:34Ben Meiselas:He's a Republican Siebert, right? He's the Trump administration, the Trump regime's pick to be the top United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. But then Trump told Siebert, and then she said, you've got to prosecute New York Attorney General Letitia James, and you've got to prosecute James Comey. And Siebert's like, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that at all. Like, there's no evidence to support those prosecutions. I'm your pick. I'm a Republican. I'm not going to do that. There's no law that supports prosecuting Letitia James and Comey. And then they pushed him out and he resigned.

20:06Ben Meiselas:But watch how Todd Blanche describes it all here. play this clip. Just very quickly, career prosecutor Eric Siebert was fired after refusing to prosecute these cases against James Comey. He was replaced by Lindsay Halligan, of course, the president's former personal lawyer who doesn't have prosecutorial experience, who was found to be unconstitutionally appointed. And the cases were thrown out, as you say, to be clear, is the Justice Department taking directions about who to prosecute from President Trump? No, of course we're not. And also Mr. Siebert wasn't fired because he refused to bring cases.

20:43He resigned. Okay. And so, and this narrative out there that somehow he, it was because of James Comey. It was because of Letitia James. No, that's not true at all. And Ms. Halligan went in there and did a great job. She's still doing a great job as our U.S. attorney in the EDDA. And you had a local judge rule that she was not validly appointed. We filed an appeal in that case. I expect that eventually when appellate courts looks at this issue, we'll win that issue.
