2:35Ben Meiselas:Mass protests are breaking out across the world, here in the United States and abroad. That video is actually from Tel Aviv, Israel, where people in Israel are protesting the Netanyahu government. I think it's important to note that there are millions of people in Israel who hate what that government is doing in their name, who hate what Netanyahu is doing with Gaza and the occupation and the atrocities being committed there with Netanyahu and Trump enabling it. We see the protests here in the United States as well. Corporate news was not talking about any of the protests here. We've been showing you all morning those protests in Los Angeles that broke out as well.

3:19Ben Meiselas:And then last week we covered the protests in Australia against Netanyahu. We're going to keep on covering what's taking place across the world. These are deeply serious times as Donald Trump sets a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where Trump lied to the American people and said Putin promised to give back land to Ukraine. But then Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Whitcoff, after being confronted by Europe, admitted that Witkoff was lying and Trump was lying and that Putin said he wanted to conquer an additional 25 percent of the land in the Zyprysia and Donetsk region of Ukraine and have it handed over to him at Donald Trump's demand, basically, as a precondition for the discussion with Trump.

4:10Ben Meiselas:I mean, it is one horrific march of folly after another by this despicable Trump regime. Donald Trump's out there posting images like this this morning. I don't know why. I mean, he's cognitively impaired and he's posting images of a man holding a shark and fighting a shark in water. There's no other kind of context to it other than it says a kangaroo island father has earned the title shark wrangler after wrestling with a monster bronze whaler. That's what Donald Trump keeps posting, a guy just wrestling a shark. Oh, then Donald Trump posts the following. Last week in Aberdeen, Scotland, he's posting more videos of himself golfing over and over again, posts and videos of himself golfing from last weekend.

4:58Ben Meiselas:I mean, folks, again, we have real serious business to attend to right now. Donald Trump is causing massive problems with our economy here. Massive issues here as ICE agents are disappearing human beings. massive issues here as the billionaires get wealthier and everyone else gets screwed. He's posting images of himself golfing in his course, and he's promoting his course from the official White House account. And I did mention, in fact, yesterday, Donald Trump was going to run up on the roof again of the White House. And like the Secret Service stopped him, the White House press pool talked about how Donald Trump may have canceled this plan to go to the roof.

5:38Ben Meiselas:the security the security was positioned around the roof to basically stop him secret service is still holding in place on the roof in case trump does go and run back on the roof and earlier in the day again this is what he keeps on doing keeps running on the roof i'm not making this up you've seen the videos i posted he runs on the roof and then he shouts i'm building nuclear weapons on the roof i'm building nukes on the roof he says those words like i'm not making that he says i'm building nukes on the roofs. Then he points around and he goes, I own all of this. I bought this. This is my money.

6:13Ben Meiselas:Here's what I'm spending. Pointing to the White House and Washington, D.C. I mean, by the way, he also posted earlier this morning as well that he's holding a press conference tomorrow where he's likely going to have the National Guard and the Marines and the military takeover Washington, D.C. We'll be covering that and see exactly what he says. While Donald Trump, again, threatening to go on the roof and talk about putting nukes on the roof, setting up meetings with Putin, legitimizing Putin, bringing Putin to Alaska on American soil based on false pretenses or giving up Ukrainian massive amounts, massive chunks of Ukrainian land to Putin.

6:55Ben Meiselas:You then have J.D. Vance, who was one of the people who was confronted in the UK by our European allies or maybe even former allies. Dude, what the hell is Steve Whitcoff doing? So he's now giving this interview with Fox, J.D. Vance says, and J.D. Vance says, you know, I'm really glad that we're talking about Epstein right now because it drives home the fact that Democrats are the ones who are really with Epstein. It's really the Democrats who are all All about Epstein. Here, listen to what J.D. Vance says this morning. Here, play this clip. Was it the right move for Comer to send subpoenas to the Clintons?

7:30It absolutely was. And it drives home how, while the Democrats have tried to make this Epstein thing about anything but the fact that Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein Island all the time. Who knows what they did? But it's totally reasonable to ask these questions. What you saw in the House's subpoena is they are trying to investigate all of the things related to this particular case. I know a lot of Americans want answers. I certainly want answers. And I think James Comer and the team of the House, they're doing the right thing. And of course, we know that Clinton or allegedly he went to the island 26 times, 28 times.

8:05Totally appropriate for Comer to be asking what was going on at that island.

8:08Ben Meiselas:Let me get you more J.D. Vance talking about Epstein and the left wing politicians all have relationships with him. This is a left wing thing. What are you talking about? We know Donald Trump, by the way, if it was great, release the files. We'll all figure it out. OK, anybody who had those relationships should be held accountable. Deal. End of story. But we know that Donald Trump was like best friends with Epstein. We know that Donald Trump's already given Ghislaine Maxwell immunity and has moved her to the minimum security facility right by Texas A &M. I mean, we see what's happening here. Play this clip.

8:41But I have to say, Maria, I laugh at the Democrats who are now all of a sudden so interested in the Epstein files. For four years, Joe Biden and the Democrats did absolutely nothing about this story. We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with left wing politicians and left wing billionaires. And now President Trump has demanded full transparency from this. And yet somehow the Democrats are attacking him and not the Biden administration, which did nothing for four years.

9:08Ben Meiselas:Was it the right? Again, I think it's important to note in this story is not getting enough attention as well. There was a terrorist attack that took place at the end of last week in the United States. Outside of the Center for Disease Control headquarters at Emory University, a domestic terrorist tried to shoot up the place and did shoot up the place. Killed a black police officer who defended the building. Donald Trump's made no comment about it. Trump and all of the MAGA's spreading their anti-vax conspiracies, their anti-CDC conspiracies. By the way, have you heard anything from RFK Jr. about this?

9:43Ben Meiselas:He's canceled mRNA funding, which has saved millions of lives. He canceled mRNA funding, but he's not out there holding a press conference where his anti-vax policies and ideas have caused domestic terrorists and basically activated cells with the type of rhetoric out there and who engage in this like despicable behavior. The CDC shooter blamed the COVID vaccine for his depression. And no statement from Trump, no statement from the CDC. There's just no statements about that at all. And I just want to let you know, too. And by the way, if you look at it, no right wing media is covering that at all.

10:22Ben Meiselas:Not a lot of media in general is covering it, but no right wing media is covering it all. Just so you know how I use my research tools, I use Ground News for my research to find out stuff like that. And I want to say, is any right-wing media covering it? No right-wing media is covering it, basically a small amount. Use the research tools that I do. Go to ground.news slash MTN or scan the QR code, get 40 % off the Vantage plan, which is all the tools that I use. ground.news slash MTN. And you can also see like if there's any blind spots, like the right wing is not covering something or left wing isn't covering something.

10:56Ben Meiselas:Right wing is not covering that story at all. Ground News is subscriber funded. They don't rely on ads that can introduce bias. Subscribing to them supports our independent channel. Check it out. Ground.news slash MTN or scan the QR code and get 40 % off Ground News's top tier vantage plan, which again is all the tools that I used. Going back to J.D. Vance, he denies that there was any meeting at all at the White House regarding Epstein. Here, play this clip. Can you give us some clarity on this meeting that is reportedly happening or happened last night at the White House about the Epstein files and how you're communicating the Epstein story?

11:34So I've seen so many different fake reports about this. So let me set the record straight. There was no meeting at my house last night. There just was it? Was there a meeting at the White House? We did meet at the White House yesterday, but not at the time that they said that they that we're going to meet and not about the subject that we said that we're going to meet about. We have a great FBI director and a great Department of Justice lead, Attorney General Pam Bondi. And we met to talk about how to ensure we have justice for the American people. We actually didn't talk about the Epstein issue at all.

12:02That was never meant to be the subject of the meeting. And it's one of those things where I guess somebody leaked a calendar entry maybe. And then people assumed that it must have been about Epstein, even though it had nothing to do with Epstein.

12:12Ben Meiselas:I'll show you one of the things that was going on at the White House. You had Donald Trump showing off a location in the White House to the Azerbaijan dictator, a section of the White House dedicated to Trump 2028 merch as they discuss Trump unlawfully pursuing another term. Play this clip. You know, you're not allowed to run. And I'm so good because everyone I'm 28 points higher than anyone. Everybody wants me to run. But including everything, you know, it's funny. So this drives me crazy. Look, four more years. So it's sort of cool. Fellas, come on, grab what you want. That's OK. As our economy struggles and suffers and things are less affordable from this week, Donald Trump, It demonstrates how Donald Trump has turned the White House into a golden bordello.

13:06Ben Meiselas:Like, it just looks absolutely gross. Here, let me show you this clip. Let's play it. The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable. Here's what it looked like in November when Trump visited Biden after the election. By February, some golden urns on the mantle. April, gold adornments appear on the walls. By July, it's gold everywhere. Just this week, more scaffolding popped up. Even more new gold trim appeared. The room where presidents have long struggled with the big decisions has never looked so, so golden. And have you seen the Rose Garden lately? Jackie Kennedy's creation, the grass has now been replaced with bright white paving tiles.

13:52You might call it the Rose Patio. The latest addition this week, umbrellas. just like the ones on the patio at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

14:03Ben Meiselas:The MAGA Republicans, like Congress member Norman, are saying higher prices are here to stay. Higher prices are good. That's what we deserve as the American people. This is how you have to fight, by paying more. This is the new MAGA Republican talking point from Ralph Norman. Let's play it. Well, I think a lot of people are seeing higher prices. Our family's in the construction business, and we get a lot of our timber from Canada and other countries. Yes, it's higher. Still prices are up, but it's for the good of the country. And should we expect high prices for a short time? Yes. But overall, we couldn't keep going the way we were going.

14:40The cancer in this country was letting other countries rule the day and tax our products.

14:46Ben Meiselas:And why should we run a deficit every month? And finally, this is what was going on yesterday. I think it's important for you to see in West Virginia voters coming out to see Bernie Sanders in a ruby red area. and they're asking, what can we do here in West Virginia? Bernie Sanders says political revolution is what needed. Here, play this clip. West Virginia currently has four members of Congress. We're down from five recently. Not one of them is willing to come here and do what you're doing. So I want to say thank you.

15:20I know that they're not willing to come here and meet with us because I have called every single office. their state offices, the D.C. offices, and they're not willing to come here. That's not on their agenda. It's not on their plan. And so my question is, as a member of Congress, what can we do? Aside from calling and writing letters and begging to be scheduled for meetings, I've never felt more powerless in my entire life. And that's saying something because I'm a native of southern West Virginia, and we're historically just a forgotten people.

16:06the answer is not an easy answer but the answer and by the way one of the reasons I'm here in Mingo County is I have I remember a little bit of my American history and the struggles that your miners fought here

16:26so they were fighting oligarchy way back when and some of them lost their lives in that struggle look to answer your question in my view is you need a political revolution in this country and what does that mean it means that we need to start electing people who are accountable and from the working class rather than people are busy running, raising money from billionaires.
