In short
The host argues Donald Trump’s Scotland trip is a self-serving “grift” tied to the Epstein scandal, and claims Trump is trying to distract from the Epstein files while also pushing political/legal moves (including immunity for Ghislaine Maxwell and pressure on media licenses). The episode also compares Trump’s focus on golfing to major global crises (Syria/Druze violence, Gaza famine, Ukraine drone attacks).

Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. Insurance operations today are fragmented, and policyholders expect more.
0:35That's why leading insurers run on Adyen. From premium collection to claims payout, Adyen supports the entire insurance value chain, giving insurers full control over how money moves. A single platform to reduce fragmentation, complexity, and risk. Drive revenue, control claims cost, and power your next move with Adian. Learn more at adian.com.

2:29Products not available in every state. I want him to leave our country. He's an odious man. Horrible orange buffoon.
2:35Ben Meiselas:Those people were so great right there. And Scotland was incredible as Donald Trump went there to grift, costing the American taxpayers millions of dollars, the Scotland taxpayers millions of dollars to promote his freaking golf course. The people of Scotland from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and all different cities and towns throughout Scotland let Donald Trump know exactly what they thought of that vile sexual predator, that vile felon, that bankruptor, that fraud, that destroyer. destroyer. I saw one group of people say, we can smell that stench of Trump the moment he landed. Take a look at some of the signs we saw at some of the major protests across Scotland.
3:17Ben Meiselas:Not even your wife likes you, Donald. Photos of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. BFF forever. Best friends forever. You were shite in Home Alone too. Scotland hates you, Donald. Scotland hates Donald Trump. A photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Very bad people. You are not welcome here. Photos and signs like this. Release the Epstein files, baby carrot Donald. And meanwhile, Donald Trump spent the day golfing, thinking that he could just run away from his deep, dark past connections that are being uncovered as we've learned that Donald Trump's name appears all over the Epstein files. And that's why he's saying it's a big hoax as Donald Trump's Department of Justice gave Ghislaine Maxwell, the sex trafficker co-conspirator of Epstein, who's serving 20 years in a Tallahassee prison for sex trafficking.
4:11Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump gave her queen for the day status, immunity for her speaking with the Department of Justice, where undoubtedly she's going to give what names of other people and try to clear Donald in exchange for a pardon. and she's probably not even going to speak to Congress. But Donald Trump's there. He's golfing in Scotland. He's promoting his businesses. He's self-dealing, enriching himself off again, the Scotland taxpayer dime and ours in America. And then the despicable and weirdo MAGA influencers like this guy, Eric Dougherty, just revealed President Trump's golf swing is being shown off in Scotland and people are amazed at his form for somebody nearly 80 years old.
4:53Ben Meiselas:Democrats have spent months trying to say he's not fit for office. This is my thing with these MAGA people. As I've said before, it should never be a Democrat or Republican or red or blue thing, although it's become that. It should be like a good versus evil, an intelligent versus stupid, a MAGA cult versus like a democracy. What are we even talking about there? How could someone even write a post like that and be serious? The person was serious. but okay we want to take a look at Donald Trump's golf game that golf swing well we've got footage of it here take a look at take a look at this here play this clip
5:54Our little boy is four years old. And say you, S-T-O-T-Y, smells more than I can be. You know, as I always say, too, you know, Donald Trump's behavior would not be acceptable at
6:24Ben Meiselas:any organization anywhere other than the leader of the Republican Party right now. And this vile MAGA, whatever you want to call the GOP, the guardians of the pedos. That's what the GOP should stand for. Right. And by the way, Donald Trump sure sent his DOJ to cover up with Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas to deal with those flash floods. But look at what Donald Trump's posting from Scotland again, like a little petulant toddler. He's just their keyboard warrior. You know, while there are major issues going on in the world. I mean, as you have the Druze minority in Syria undergoing a mass attack on them by jihadists in Syria, like the Al -Qaeda sect, as Donald Trump was saying, oh, you know, I have great faith in their strong, handsome, good-looking leader.
7:22Ben Meiselas:We got war between Thailand and Cambodia taking place. We've got Russia killing innocent Ukrainians using those Iranian Shahi drones. But this is what Donald Trump is doing. He goes, I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats after the presidential election. And the fact that they admit to paying probably illegally$11 million to singer Beyonce for an endorsement. She never sang not one note and left the stage to a booing and angry audience. Three million dollars for expenses to Oprah, six hundred thousand dollars to a very low rated TV anchor, Al Sharpton, a total lightweight and others to be named for doing absolutely nothing.
8:06Ben Meiselas:These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. And he puts this in caps. You're not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It's totally illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying people to endorse them? all hell would break out. Kamala and all of those that received endorsement money broke the law. They should be prosecuted. Thank you for your attention to this matter. But calling for Beyonce, Oprah, Al Sharpton to be prosecuted, what do they have in common as well? By the way, also based on lies, you think you're going to distract us from the Epstein files when we know your name is all over them and we know about your despicable past with Epstein that we cover diligently, meticulously every day, every 90 minutes here on the Midas Touch Network.
8:51Ben Meiselas:No, we're not going to be distracted. Oh, and then Donald Trump calls for networks that he doesn't like to have their licenses revoked. And by the way, Brendan Carr, Donald Trump's FCC commissioner, is going after those networks. He basically bragged that he was the reason that Colbert got fired. He said he was going to go after The View and all of these shows that Donald Trump doesn't like. Donald Trump goes, wow, Now, Comcast, he calls Comcast, Comcast. Wow, Comcast NBC is down in viewership almost 28 % this year. This program is terrible. Their management even worse. They are an arm of the Democrat Party and should be held accountable for that.
9:28Ben Meiselas:Likewise, fake news, ABC, MAGA, MAGA. Networks aren't allowed to be political pawns for Democrats. It has become so outrageous, in my opinion, their license could and should be revoked. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Know what Donald Trump should be talking about? how an Oklahoma man is among the Druze family killed execution style in Syria. Remember when Donald Trump met with the leader of Syria, the new guy who used to be part of Al Qaeda, and he's trying to moderate himself, but Donald Trump thought he was handsome. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, this Shara guy, he's a tough guy. He's very handsome.
10:03Ben Meiselas:I think he's the right guy to stabilize Syria. Well, we've seen the mass massacre of the Druze taking place there. By the way, the mass massacre of people in Gaza right now starving to death while Donald Trump eggs on Netanyahu and is like, do what you want to do, Netanyahu, as you see women and children and innocent people starving to death who can't get food. But Donald Trump's out there golfing in Scotland, covering up the Epstein files. How utterly despicable. I'll show you what he could be doing. French President Emmanuel Macron posted the following. I held discussions with the interim Syria President al-Shahra today.
10:42Ben Meiselas:The recent violence in Syria underscores the extreme fragility of the transition. Civilian populations must be protected. It is imperative to prevent further episodes of violence and to ensure that those responsible for these acts are prosecuted. Prosecutions are expected based on the report submitted by the Independent Commission regarding the violence on the coast. The ceasefire in Suweda, that's the region where the Druze are from is a positive signal. A calm dialogue must now enable progress toward the goal of unifying Syria while respecting the rights of all of its citizens. I spoke with the Syrian president about the urgency of finding a political solution with local actors within a national framework of governance and security.
11:24Ben Meiselas:Likewise, it is essential that negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian authorities proceed in good faith. The tripartite discussion yesterday helped define the next steps. I reiterated our commitment to Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We discussed in this regard exchanges with Israel. We both expressed our support for cooperation and stabilizing the Syrian-Lebanese border. France is ready to support these efforts. Finally, I noted President al-Shara's commitment to fight against terrorism and emphasize the need for shared cooperation. That's how a statement is supposed to look from a leader, okay?
12:00Ben Meiselas:Not Oprah and Beyonce and Al Sharpton and I'm going to prosecute Kamala and Obama 2016 was mean to me. I mean, it again, it should just be embarrassing. If you have dignity, Donald Trump's behavior should just be freaking embarrassing. And then Donald Trump, right? He's got his influencers online who are like, oh, great swing, Donald. You're a great golfer. And then he's got people like Mark Levin on Fox. I'm Mark Levin. That's how he talks. And so Mark Levin goes on TV and like he coordinates this with Trump and Mark Levin's like, and let me be clear, we need to prosecute Obama. Obama would not get immunity.
12:44Ben Meiselas:His conduct fell outside of immunity. First off, what the hell are you even talking about prosecuting him for? You just say words, Russia, Russia, Russia. What the hell are you even talking about? You just want to distract from the Epstein files, GOP, guardians of pedos. That's what they've become. You're hiding the Epstein files and must be horrific. What the hell's in there about Donald Trump? And you think that we're just stupid. Oh, Obama, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here, just watch Mark Levin here play this clip. From prosecution, from all his official acts, there is no immunity for unofficial acts.
13:19Wow. So that takes you to this issue of presumptive immunity, because what Barack Obama didn't, what he did wasn't within his official acts. What he did was he moved from his official acts, and he asked the CIA and the others to do something that was corrupt, not part of his official act. Part of his official acts would be as if Obama ordered taking out a terrorist in Yemen, which he did, and it turns out that he takes out the terrorist but also kills his 15-year-old son who's a U.S. citizen. Obama can't be prosecuted for that. That's part of its official acts. That's fine. But when a president of the United States says, I need a new assessment, effectively telling the agencies and the rest, I need to get Trump.
14:02That's not within your official action. So what would happen in court if they brought some charges? You would have this presumptive immunity allegation and then you would have to overcome the presumption. Right.
14:13Ben Meiselas:Like that's what they're doing. It's so utterly, utterly pathetic and so obvious. Oh, and I'll just show you. This is the Congress member Schaffetz, who's now a host on Fox Maga Republican. He's like, and so the Democrats are using the Epstein files to distract from Obama. Oh, that's it. Okay. Oh, that's it. That's what happened. Or maybe, just maybe, y 'all were talking about the Epstein files every freaking day and using a sex trafficking ring, which should be taking damn serious to weaponize against your political enemies, except for the fact that your political enemies are not really the ones on there.
14:49Ben Meiselas:It's Donald Trump, who was Epstein's best friend. And now you don't know what to do. And now Donald Trump's giving immunity to Ghislaine Maxwell. He's probably going to give her a pardon. He's covering up all this stuff. You all look ridiculous. So then you go, you know what? Let's just go after the black president. Let's say Obama. Obama. Maybe what you're going to bring back up, the birth certificate. Birth certificate. We're going to go there. What else are you going to go and bring up? I don't know here play this clip and that but democrats have also joined in on actually voting in favor of doing things like issuing subpoenas and whatnot that creates a whole nother problem for republican leadership because if they do a discharge petition or something else you're going to have all the democrats on board and that creates a whole nother set of worms for speaker johnson i can tell you i I'm just telling you this is.
15:39Ben Meiselas:But I also do think I totally buy what Guy is saying. I would also argue that part of what they're trying to do is they are trying to distract from this big issue of President Obama's personal involvement in what was going on in targeting Donald Trump. All right. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to six million. Thanks for watching.
