In short
The episode claims Donald Trump’s regime is conducting espionage against Denmark to support a plan to take over Greenland (part of the Danish kingdom), potentially triggering NATO Article 5. It also alleges Trump is cozying up to Vladimir Putin, including considering more Russia trade (diamonds) and Exxon deals. The host cites economic and political fallout: layoffs, denied credit applications, student-loan defaults, rising Treasury yields (“Trump spread”), and a Democratic win in Iowa’s Senate District 1. Notable examples include Danish officials’ remarks (“fuck off” to Trump) and comments from Sean Duffy about using force to “take back” Union Station and Doug Burgum opposing windmills.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a disaster Wednesday morning. He's been caught committing espionage against our NATO ally, Denmark. Yep, Donald Trump was apparently sending spies into Greenland as part of a plan to try to take it over. As Donald Trump and his regime have consistently said, they want to take Greenland by force and also turn it into an American state or territory. They've been very serious about attacking the sovereignty of Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Denmark learned about the espionage taking place. They are summoning right now the top U.S. envoy over covert operations in Greenland by the Trump regime as part of a plan to take it over.
0:50Ben Meiselas:I mean, literally Article 5 of NATO would seem to need to be invoked against the United States now with Donald Trump continuing to coddle Vladimir Putin. We learned today that Trump is considering opening up more trade with Russia regarding diamonds and Exxon is doing deals with Russia and Donald Trump's attacking our allies. Donald Trump just posted this, though, moments ago. There is a sick rumor going around that fake news NBC extended the contract of one of the least talented late night television hosts out there, Seth Meyers. He has no ratings, talent or intelligence and the personality of an insecure child.
1:31Ben Meiselas:So why would fake news NBC extend this dopes contract? I don't know, but I'll definitely be finding out. So as we're learning that Prime Minister Modi of India is not taking Donald Trump's calls, as Denmark has called out the United States for committing espionage against it by sending spies essentially to help plan an attack plan against Greenland as Donald Trump sucks up to Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump's big statement right now to the country is he thinks there's a sick rumor going around about Seth Meyers. Folks, this is so utterly humiliating for our country that this is what is taking place.
2:11Ben Meiselas:Oh, he has another post, folks. Rhino Karl Rove, when asked on Fox and Friends this morning how to explain the tremendous success of the Republican Party, didn't have an answer. He just couldn't utter the words, President Donald J. Trump, but that's okay. The people get it and always have. As we noted before earlier today and in a video we did last night, in Iowa, Senate District 1, which was a plus 11.5 Trump district, just went blue. The Democratic candidate there won, and we're seeing a 11 to 15 point overperformance by Democrats right now as Donald Trump's approval is absolutely plummeting.
2:52Ben Meiselas:People know the economy is suffering. People know that they are paying more. People know that they are less safe. Let's address some of these issues. The Wall Street Journal editorial board this morning published the following. What if Trump runs the Federal Reserve? His firing of Lisa Cook shows he wants to put monetary policy under his personal control. He may succeed, but the country will live to regret it. Trump is all about short-term tactics and personal political advantage, but institutional integrity bores him. But if he succeeds in taking over the Fed, he and Republicans will own the results of whatever inflation returns.
3:33Ben Meiselas:Inflation is returning right now, and we know countries where a strongman populist dictator has taken over their central bank, a la Turkey, Argentina, Zimbabwe, you name it, it results in inflation absolutely surging and crushing the economy. Take a look, Amanda Godal posts. This is what we've been talking about here on the Midas Touch Network. Just look at the data, folks. The economy is breaking and no one is ready because corporate news isn't talking about it, but we're talking about it here on the Midas Touch Network. So you're ready, you know, but just look at the data. Over 806 ,000 layoffs in 2025 so far.
4:14Ben Meiselas:48 % of consumer credit applications have been denied over the past year. Refinance rejection rate, 41.8%, the highest in 12 years. In terms of the unemployment forecast, we're talking about 4.5 % to 5 % by year end, according to Apollo. And again, that's what they're saying. Six million Americans are at least 90 days past due or in default on student loans. And so those 6 million Americans, not only default of loans, that means their credit is being destroyed. They're never going to be able to buy homes or rent things or buy other things as a result of that. You're staring down a six-month job search, two months of cash for many at most, 27 weeks unemployed.
5:03Ben Meiselas:You aren't even counted. Job data gets revised down every damn month. By the way, the Treasury yields, they call it the Trump spread right now. The 20, 30 year, 10 year yields continue to surge. The dollar is crashing right now. That's just the facts. But everyone wants to act like this is freaking normal. Back to Donald Trump committing espionage, though, against Denmark. Remember when the foreign minister in Denmark, Lars Rasmussen, had this message to the United States back in March? They're trying to be polite to Donald, but you just can't be. Here's what he said. Play this clip. I have a message for our American friends and all of us who are listening.

7:28Ben Meiselas:And here was a Danish member of parliament being less polite back in January, but he knew what was happening. This is what he had to say. Here, play this clip. Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It's an indiscriminated part of our country. It is not for sale. Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, fuck off. And folks, horrible news to report as well. We've learned this morning, you may have heard the news. Annunciation Church, which also is a school for young children. There was a mass shooting there. At least 20 people were shot.
8:10Ben Meiselas:At least two children were killed while praying during morning mass. a mass shooting in Minneapolis. Horrible. At the Annunciation Church, the mayor of Minneapolis is speaking right now. Let's bring him in here. Play this clip. These were Minneapolis families. These were American families. And the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary. Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church. These are kids that should be learning with their friends. They should be playing on the playground.
8:55They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence, and their parents should have the same kind of assurance. These are the sort of basic assurances that every family should have. every step of the day, regardless of where they are in our country.
9:13Ben Meiselas:Talking about what else is going on in the Trump regime right here, you have Sean Duffy saying that we're going to be taking back Union Station with force. We're reconquering Union Station, whatever the hell that means. Union Station was on a trajectory towards success, but I guess this is part of their tough guy act. Here, play this clip. What can people expect the changes to be? So first off, DOT owns Union Station, and we've had a lot of partners that we've subleased to or we've leased to. We're going to take it back and we're going to drive out the homelessness. We're going to drive out the crime.
9:48And we are going to, I think, bring in more retailers, I think more customers. It'll be better revenue. And again, this is our capital city. It should be beautiful. And the president wants a beautiful capital. I want a beautiful capital. And so this plan is going to make Union Station represent the president's vision of what America can and should look like.
10:08Ben Meiselas:And then you have Doug Burgum, Donald Trump's energy secretary, talking about why we need to get rid of windmills. And windmills are a major national security threat because Donald Trump hate windmills. So now we're destroying America's potential for energy innovation and meeting our energy demands of the future. Here, play this clip. I mean, Sean just today publicly shared during the cabinet meeting that there had been a report that had been buried about the fact that a wind farm, if it's too close to a railroad or a highway, could affect the electronics. But the Pentagon reviewed this project in 2023, and they found that there were negligible national security impacts.
10:48So what are the specific ones that this administration is so concerned about that you would stop it if it's 80 percent of the way done? Well, I think in particular there's concerns about radar relative to undersea, and that doesn't have to be a large Russian sub, but undersea drones, the new technology. I mean, the war in Ukraine has shown that swarm attacks by drones, if you're going to launch one into our most populous part of our country, the Pacific Northwest, The way a bad, you know, people with, you know, bad ulterior motives to the United States would launch a swarm drone attack through wind farm, the radar.
