In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump’s Christmas behavior shows “deranged” conspiracy posting and political incitement, and claims it functions as a smokescreen for other controversies. It cites Trump allegedly making 100+ posts: calling for Barack Obama’s prosecution, repeating claims the 2020 election was fake/fraudulent (including Michigan), defaming Georgia election workers (Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss), and attacking Obamacare/Affordable Care Act. It also mentions Trump amplifying ICE and Stephen Miller, and posting a Roseanne video claiming COVID was brought to enable mail-in ballot fraud. The host links this to DOJ/Epstein file issues (1.2 million SDNY documents; “never even looked at yet”) and to Russia/Ukraine coverage, including a bipartisan condemnation of Putin’s Christmas attacks and Zelensky’s remarks about a rejected ceasefire.

1:06Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having an absolutely psychotic meltdown on Christmas. He's made over 100 posts already, and each post is more deranged than the next. He's calling for former President Barack Obama to be prosecuted. He continues to say the 2020 election is fake. He's saying Obamacare needs to be eliminated right away. He's saying the 2020 election results in Michigan were fraudulent. He is defaming Georgia election workers. You have people at ICE who he's amplifying as well and Stephen Miller and others saying full throttle. I support Christmas deportations. ICE never sleeps. It's been post after post after post.
1:51Ben Meiselas:Let me just show you what's been going down. It's messages like this. The people demand accountability. Barack Obama should be charged and prosecuted. Mind you, this isn't a request. This is a post from Donald Trump on Christmas. Donald Trump also posts a must watch. Roseanne is amazing. And it's a video of Roseanne saying that COVID came to the United States so that Democrats could use mail-in ballots to steal the 2020 election. This is the type of deranged conspiracy laden nonsense, QAnon filled hate that Donald Trump is spewing on Christmas. I mean, just contrast this to what former President Biden is posting.
2:39Ben Meiselas:Merry Christmas photos with his family. Former President Barack Obama, Merry Christmas from his family, photos with his family. This is what Donald Trump is doing. And this is why I say you just have to frame him as an evil person, as a person who's been put here on this earth to cause pain and suffering. And we need to stand up to this evil. Donald Trump then posts, attention, Democrats and progressive white allies. Then it goes on to say, I've been calling out the 2020 election from the beginning while the political establishment looked the other way. I fought to overturn the 2020 election is post after post after post.
3:21Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump goes, it's time to abolish the Barack Obama Affordable Care Act. Then it goes on to say it's textbook fraud. Then it says nobody is checking anything when it comes to this government handout. Nobody is checking a thing. Yeah. As Americans are terrified right now that they're about to lose their health care as the Affordable Care Act subsidies have not been extended because Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans left Congress and want the American people to suffer. This is what they're posting. Then more posts. Obamacare is a complete disaster. Odd posts about Gavin Newsom that's apparently on Donald Trump's this morning.
4:01Ben Meiselas:And it goes, Gavin Newsom is terrified of Caroline Leavitt because she calls out his BS. Yeah, I'm sure that's what Gavin Newsom, the governor of California wakes up and says, you know who I'm terrified of? The chief propagandist at the White House, who's a clown, who will go down in history as one of the most vile and foul human beings that there are. Oh, by the way, make sure you hit subscribe to our YouTube channel. We're on our way to six million subscribers. Thanks to your support. So please make sure you hit subscribe right now. More posts from Donald Trump. I told you it's hundreds, maybe 200 posts this morning.
4:37Ben Meiselas:Just imagine if you posted that about any topic, like think about topics that you like, right? Whether it's sports or movies or a hobby, whatever you enjoy. Imagine posting about it 200 times. You would say if somebody did that in your life, hey, chill out. Like, are you okay? And this is the behavior of the president of the United States. No wonder he's destroying our country each and every day and why our enemies laugh at us. And while our allies are absolutely horrified and frankly, no longer our allies anymore. More posts from Trump. The election was stolen. Trump was correct. Dominion Serbia voting machines.
5:14Ben Meiselas:They do not get away with overthrowing the United States government. The hell is he posting? Proof that the Michigan elections are rigged. Going into the 2024 election, Michigan had 500 ,000 more. And it goes into these ridiculous conspiracies. Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss need to be held accountable. defaming Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss. Again, who prevailed in their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani. Alert, Fulton County's 2020 election mess is back into the spotlight. Donald Trump now has directed the Justice Department to investigate Act Blue. And then of course, the message that he sends over here, Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our country, but failing badly.
5:59Ben Meiselas:We no longer have open borders. men and women's sports, transgender for everyone. I mean, who talks like this? I mean, just take a step back for a second and let's talk about adult behavior, grown-up behavior. There should be a basic floor in leadership positions, yet alone the presidency of the United States of America. And this is what Donald Trump, I could read you more, but I think you get the point right there. And by the way, this all comes as we've learned that there's 1 million additional Epstein files that the DOJ claims they've never even looked at yet. So it's going to take many more weeks despite the Epstein Transparency Act, despite the fact that there are emails from 2020 referencing all these other documents, right?
6:43Ben Meiselas:The Midas Touch was the first to report. Hey, there's an email that talks about 1.2 million documents with the Southern District of New York. Hey, how about those documents? As soon as we reported it about what, 12 hours later, guess what they said at the DOJ we've found 1.2 million documents from SDNY you want to know what likely really happened SDNY said that they were going to go public with the fact that these 1.2 million records were being concealed if the DOJ didn't confess they all knew that we knew and that it was going to become a public issue so I'm sure what went down is that prosecutors at the SDNY said If you don't say that you have these, we're going to leak them and we're going to go public with this.
7:28Ben Meiselas:So the DOJ went public with this. A few other things I want to talk about on Christmas. While Donald Trump's behaving that way, what is it also smokescreen for? What does it cover for? Well, he wants to distract us from the Epstein files, but we're not going to be distracted. I'm talking about the cover up every single day. I've done multiple videos this morning and we're going to continue to expose what's going on there and all of those files and we'll keep breaking stories. That's one. The other thing is he wants to give smokescreen to Vladimir Putin and authoritarians across the world to try to attack and invade and go after other countries, you know, because Trump is supporting authoritarians.
8:08Ben Meiselas:So for example, you know, Donald Trump wants to give smokescreen and cover to Vladimir Putin. On Christmas, Putin has continued to attack Kiev and Kharkiv and Odessa and Sumy and Donetsk and other areas. There's actually a rare bipartisan statement here from Democrats and Republicans. You have Tillis, Jackie Rosen, Barrasso, Chris Coons, Angus King, Jerry Moran, Jeff Berkley, Chris Van Hollen. They released this statement. They said, Russia's killing of civilians as Christians around the world celebrate the Christmas holiday. We condemn Russia's brutal attacks on Kherson, Kharkiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kriviri waged on innocent Ukrainians as they convened to mark the birth of the Prince of Peace with their loved ones and in prayer.
9:00Ben Meiselas:It bears repeating that President Zelensky agreed to a Christmas truce, but Putin declined, yet he directs soldiers to continue to commit brutal crimes of aggression on one of Christianity's holiest days. Even for countries at war, there is a long history of Christmas ceasefires, including notably during World War I. Today's decision by Putin to launch attacks rather than hold fire is a sobering reminder for us all. Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted. We stand with the people of Kiev, Odessa, Kharkiv, Kershan, and Donetsk, marking the birth of Christ under the most challenging of circumstances.
9:37Ben Meiselas:Ukrainians' faith is a stronger force than the evil unleashed today by the Kremlin. And so while You have these senators condemning what Russia is doing and rightfully so. You had Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State earlier in the week, sanctioning Europe, as this one account says. Mr. Secretary, when can we expect similar sanctions against Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, Russia, and El Salvador, just to name a few that practice extreme censorship on American voters? because Europe has a digital act that says you can't engage in consumer fraud and spread the type of disinformation that Elon Musk and certain platforms do in the United States.
10:20Ben Meiselas:And they want to protect consumers and also prevent unjust advertising practices. That's what their digital act is all about. The US and all the right wings like, oh, you're not going to let us spread our right wing MAGA propaganda in Europe. You're censoring us. It's like, no, just don't provide, just don't lie and say horrific things that are intended to cause, you know, violence and intended to deceive people. Rubio goes for far too long. Ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms, to punish American viewpoints. They oppose. The Trump administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extratorial censorship.
10:59Ben Meiselas:Today, the State Department will take steps to bar leading figures of the global censorship industrial complex from entering the United States. We stand ready and willing to expand the list if others do not reverse course. So the United States sanctioning Europe and sanctioning European leaders. At the same time, Russian leaders like Karel Dmitriev and Yuri Yushikov are in the United States. The US removing sanctions from Russia. Now we're sanctioning Europe. Do you see what's happening here? Do you see what's happening here? And you're going after Europe for censorship, really? And as that post pointed out, and not all of these other locations, America, this is why this French general I talked about on a prior report, you know, and why European leaders in general view the United States as systemic adversaries right now, not as allies anymore.
11:50Ben Meiselas:It's a sad state. And it's a sad state too, because you've got Ukraine winning right now and pushing back and showing courage while you have Donald Trump as a Putin bootlicker or an aider and a better whatever you want to call it i mean ukraine won the battle of kupyensk at the same time putin was pointing to kupyensk as this big military victory and we're pushing the front forward remember two weeks ago zelinski was right there in kupyensk and now all these z bloggers as business ukraine mag points out all these z bloggers have to acknowledge that they don't have kupyensk they see the ukrainians there and they see the ukrainian army circling around the remnants of the Russian army in Kupyansk, Russia got absolutely destroyed there.
12:33Ben Meiselas:Absolutely destroyed there. On Christmas, you have Zelensky also issuing the following statement. We greatly value the Pope, Leo XIV's constant attention to all diplomatic efforts aimed at ending Russia's war against Ukraine. And we share his holiness's disappointment at Russia's refusal to accept the latest Christmas ceasefire proposal. Sadly, this is already the fourth wartime Christmas for the Ukrainian people during the full-scale war, the largest in Europe since World War II. Moscow has not only rejected the request to end the killing, at least for this holy day. Instead, Russia launched a massive missile and drone strike against Ukraine's energy grid, causing power outages and continuous frontline assaults.
13:15Ben Meiselas:Regrettably, Russia continues to reject real ceasefire proposals as it has done throughout the year. Instead, it is clearly seeking ways to prolong the war and continue attacks. It is critical that everyone around the world speak out against this war and prevent Russia from normalizing its brutality, terror, and aggression against our people. I urge all responsible leaders to support peace as the pontiff does, and we appreciate every sign and showing of solidarity. Powerful words there indeed. Powerful words there indeed. Indeed. I figure as a Christmas present also, I won't show any video clips of Donald Trump here.
13:52Ben Meiselas:I could show you what he said at the Christmas event where he told an eight-year-old girl that she sounds cute and beautiful. Or I can show you Melania not wanting to even be around him and saying, can we just have another question? Like being like eight, ten feet away from him, like looking grossed out at him. I could show you Donald Trump saying, we want to make sure that Santa doesn't infiltrate the United States. We're doing an infiltration check. But you get the point. Hit subscribe.
