0:24A mochi moment from Sadie, who writes, I'm not crying, you're crying. This is what I said during my first appointment with my physician at Mochi, because I didn't have to convince him I needed a GLP-1. He understood, and I felt supported, not judged. I came for the weight loss and stayed for the empathy. Thanks, Sadie. I'm Myra Ameth, founder of Mochi Health. To find your Mochi moment, visit joinmochi.com.

0:59Ben Meiselas:protests are spreading everywhere across the United States. That right there was a massive protest in San Francisco. I'll show you right here, a massive protest in Cleveland, massive protests, of course, in Minneapolis, massive protests in Los Angeles, West Coast, East Coast, across the country. And protesters are not simply saying ICE and Border Patrol off our street. ICE and Border Patrol need to be abolished and prosecuted. But impeach Donald Trump. Throw the criminal in jail. Put this entire criminal, lawless, thuggery regime behind bars. I mean, yesterday, we got a glimpse of what's in the Epstein files.

1:47Ben Meiselas:About three million files were released on Friday. But we know that the Trump regime is hiding about three million more. I'll do a whole other video on this. What was in the three million documents, though, was very damning. Howard Lutnick's name came up over and over again in communications with Epstein, even though he previously lied and claimed he hadn't spoken with Epstein since 2005. Elon Musk appeared repeatedly in the files saying that he wants to go to the island. When does it get the wildest, Jeffrey? You had Steve Bannon and Epstein continuing to talk about Donald Trump. There was a whole page that the DOJ took down which logged these allegations against Donald Trump and some of the most vile and heinous things.

2:32Ben Meiselas:when there were allegations of underage girls saying that Donald Trump engaged in the most heinous and despicable acts. Again, let me be clear. These are just allegations that were in the list, but I find it highly suspicious that Donald Trump's DOJ removed it from the website. The Midas Touch Network called them out. We posted it on our sub stack at MidasPlus.com, which has now been viewed tens of millions of times. Then the DOJ was forced to put it back By the way, subscribe to our sub stack for that reason, MidasPlus.com, and you can check out the log that I'm talking about there. Also, subscribe to our YouTube page.

3:07Ben Meiselas:We're very close to 6 million subscribers. Help us get to 6 million subscribers. And so it's also this lawless thug regime went after Don Lemon and another independent journalist, Georgia Fort, arresting both of them and without even letting them know that it was even coming. And you had Don Lemon was finally released and the Trump regime was posting all of these photos of them and and mocking them for what for being independent journalists and reporting on a protest in a church. And the protest was taking place because someone affiliated with the church was allegedly part of ICE, which was terrorizing the communities.

3:45Ben Meiselas:So it's just a full-fledged assault on the First Amendment. And that was also adding fuel to the fire of these peaceful protests who want Donald Trump out, who want this regime out, who want these people prosecuted, by the way. Let me just share with you what Donald Trump's been posting all throughout the night, ranting and raving like a lunatic. Two nights ago, he further defamed Alex Preti, right? And he said that Preti is an insurrectionist and that his stock is falling. I mean, how vile is that? That was the same evening where Donald Trump sued his own IRS for$10 billion. Trump suing us, we the taxpayers, to pay him$10 billion.

4:26I think the entire funding for the IRS right now is under$10 billion as the Trump regime has basically stripped it of all of its resources so the right-wing oligarchs can get away with

4:37Ben Meiselas:paying no taxes. So Trump wants us to pay him$10 billion because he's alleging that his tax returns were leaked like 10 years ago or something. Every other former president released their tax returns and what? You were exposed for paying$0 or$750 in taxes and you were exposed for not being as rich as you claimed you are, even though now you've abused the White House to do quid pro quos and basically use the White House to enrich yourself at the expense of our national security. But anyway, I digress. Here's what Donald Trump has been posting all last night. The radical left, lunatics, insurrectionists, agitators and thugs are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman and has done a really great job.

5:24The border disaster that I inherited is fixed. The violent criminals that were allowed into our country through Sleepy Joe's sick open border policy are largely gone or being strongly sought for purposes of removal. And the murder rate in the U.S. just reached its lowest level in 125 years. It reached its lowest level under former President Biden. But now your ICE and Border Patrol thugs are the gangs. They are the SS and the Gestapo that are killing people and actually bringing violence to the streets that were made more peaceful by former President Biden. No Donald Trump. People aren't angry at Kristi Noem because she is a woman and doing a good job.

6:04She is the ire of lots of people's hatred right now because she is a despicable and vile person who's terrorizing our peaceful communities. Don't act like, oh, it's because she's a woman. That has nothing to do with it. And don't you notice that this is what these MAGAs always do? the moment that they try to play the victim, right? When people are calling them out because y 'all are engaged in terrorism, terrorizing our communities. Oh, then Donald Trump says, for many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics under weak and stupid people has been failing American businesses and policymakers. Trump says, that's why I'm appointing someone named Brett Matsumoto as the next commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

6:51Let's be very clear here. The inflation rate that was produced on Friday surging. What was the core inflation? 3.3%. And who even knows if we could rely on any of these numbers under the Trump regime anymore. You fired the prior Bureau of Labor Secretary Commissioner because you didn't like the fact that accurate data was being reported by them about the failure of the regime. And the regime continues to fail. You can keep changing the seats and keep rearranging the deck of your Bureau of Labor System, but the American people know what's going on right now. We know that inflation is surging. We know when you look at, just you want to look at in the past 48 hours, spot gold prices crashed, like the biggest crash since like the last 40 years.

7:38You had gold crash, Bitcoin crashing. The markets were horrible on Friday. Compared to other country stock markets, America is struggling right now and is not doing anywhere near as other countries are doing right now. Oh, and then Donald Trump announced his new pick for the Federal Reserve chairman, who would still need to be, of course, confirmed. And you have lots of senators saying that they're going to block the confirmation of this guy. Kevin Warsh is his name until such time as Donald Trump and his corrupt DOJ drop the prosecution of Jerome Powell. Heck, you have Tom Tillis, a Republican senator from North Carolina, saying that he personally will put a hold on any of Donald Trump's picks for the chairman of the Federal Reserve until the Jerome Powell investigation is removed.

8:32Oh, but by the way, Kevin Warsh right here, you see this guy? On the same day Donald Trump announces Kevin Warsh is his pick to be the new chairman of the Federal Reserve when the Epstein files, 3 million of them dropped. Remember, 3 million are still missing. Guess whose name appeared on a list of people that Jeffrey Epstein was inviting to a party in St. Bart's? Yep, it was Kevin Warsh. Seems that every single person connected to Donald Trump had a close relationship or at least knew Jeffrey Epstein or is in the Epstein emails. You want to talk about what a cabal is? It's this cabal right here in the Trump regime, and they're still covering up 3 million records.

9:12Talking about a cabal, I'll do a whole video of this as well. The Trump regime has continued to push this Melania movie, which is a complete and utter disaster. It's like the worst theatrical release in the history of movies. What a absolute joke, the worst reviewed movie ever. But one of the things we did learn about Melania is that she was apparently so close with Ghislaine Maxwell or close enough to Ghislaine Maxwell, I should say, that she called Ghislaine Maxwell G. Remember how Melania was like, oh, I don't really know any of these people. It's defamatory to say I had any relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

9:49Well, your own writing from 2002 seems to differ there, Melania. Dear G, Melania writes on October 23rd, 2002, how are you? Nice story about Jeffrey Epstein in New York Magazine. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in New York. Have a great time. Love, Melani. Well, all of this is taking place. You had Donald Trump in the Oval Office bragging about holding a UFC fight in front of the White House in a few months where 100 ,000 people, he's going to build 100 ,000 people's stadium in front of the White House.

10:30Here, play this clip. UFC is coming, as you know, in front of the White House with a building, literally a stadium. We're going to have over 100 ,000 people. And this is going to have a lot of people. I won't even say how many people because I think it can set a record for racing. It's going to be very, very important. We're celebrating greatness with America. Are we the taxpayers going to be paying for it? You think this is what we want? While you're ripping away health care from people, while people can't afford homes right now, while people are suffering living paycheck to paycheck. You're talking about UFC fights in front of the White House.

11:04Then a reporter asked Donald Trump why he is suing the IRS for$10 billion. And then Trump just attacks and yells at the reporter. Let's watch this clip right here. Mr. President, why are you suing his administration and the IRS? Why are you suing? Who are you with? I'm with ABC News. You're a loud person. Very loud. Let somebody else have a chance. Can you answer the question? Why are you suing IRS? ABC fake news. You're suing. Go ahead. I didn't call on you. Go ahead. And let's show you. Let's go into the protest. Our friends at Status Coup, subscribe to the Status Coup Substack and Status Coup YouTube.

11:38We've been working with Status Coup. They've got reporters on the ground in Minneapolis, of course. And here they speak with a protester in the huge Minneapolis protest about why he's out there. Here, play this clip. Because the Constitution and the country and democracy is at the most pivotal time in the history of the United States. And if people don't wake up and realize that, and we get another 150 million people understanding that, we could be done for as a country. Indeed. Have you been paying attention to the last 24 hours where they've arrested Don Lemon and a local reporter? I'm not a huge Don Lemon fan, but that's totally against the Constitution and against the right of free speech.

12:28that's total bullshit more uh let's get let's look at more of the protesters there in minneapolis to see what they have to say where one person says ice stands for incel cuck energy let's play this clip this one says ice and ice stands for incel cuck energy i love your sign what are your main feelings about this like what was the thing that got you the most in the last two weeks has been so many things. I have been upset about this for a while, but I think that I don't know what the last straw was. I've been wondering for a while what the hell is going on and why is this being allowed and them coming here.

13:15I was just like, what's, you know, like, what are we going to do? I'm not sure if I trust the National Guard being here, but we'll see if they're helpful. And it kind of just feels like it's all up to us to get them out of here. And then Bruce Springsteen was in Minneapolis, and he has come up with a new song called The Streets of Minneapolis, and he performed it in Minneapolis. We need more of this, more protest music right here. Here's Springsteen. Let's play it. to uphold the law, they trample on our rights. If your skin is black or brown, my friend, you'll be questioned or deported on the side.

14:06In our chance of ice out now, the city's heart and soul persists. through broken glass and bloody tears on the streets of Minneapolis.
