In short
The host argues Donald Trump is panicking about impeachment and losing the 2022 midterms/2024 elections, citing his posts, resignations in his orbit, and alleged deranged rhetoric. The episode also claims Trump’s trade pressure on Canada (and a proposed foreign beef deal) is economically harmful and violates sovereignty, while broader U.S. security and Middle East tensions could escalate.

2:18Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a psychotic meltdown as it is all falling apart for him. He is terrified of being impeached if and when Democrats take control of the House and how Democrats are also favored to take control of the United States Senate. Throughout yesterday evening, Donald Trump was posting, again, deranged stuff. He was posting Natalie Harp and Caroline Levitt, incredible patriots all the way back in 2021. And he posts some weird interview with them and each was more deranged than the next. Then Donald Trump does this post that's a gigantic paragraph where he attacks Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey and says they're all losers.
3:05Ben Meiselas:They're three losers. And then he says, praise be to Allah at the end of it. I'll talk a little bit more about that. Earlier in the day yesterday, Donald Trump posted in the morning how he was going to be doing a deal with foreign countries to bring in their beef at discounted prices to undercut American ranchers and to destroy American ranchers business. And he was going to do this deal, 25 % cheaper foreign beef. And our ranchers here were like, what the hell is this guy doing? And then last night, we learned that the trade talks between the United States in canada blew up i did a video about this last night donald trump howard lutnik jameson greer and i'm hearing this was really driven also by lutnik and trump but particularly lutnik as well trying to bully canada into basically surrender you trying to change the terms and trying to you know really attack canada and prime minister carney said no way let's bring our negotiators back to Ottawa.
4:05Ben Meiselas:The Canadian negotiators left. Prime Minister Carney announced Canada's going elbows up and is prepared to fight. And then the Trump regime was like, what do you mean you're leaving? What do you mean you're leaving? And this is the United States again continues to attack Canada's sovereignty, but Canada stood strong. So Donald Trump terrified of being impeached, as you know, he was, you know, ranting and raving like a lunatic in South Carolina about being impeached. He was like, I'm going to lose everything. Everything that I worked for is going to be lost. If we lose the midterms, they're going to impeach me.
4:38Ben Meiselas:Listen to what he said. Play this clip. Years ago, they're going to flee our country. I'm going to be impeached. They're going to impeach me. They have no idea why. I saw today a congressman said on one of the shows, we're going to impeach President Trump. We're going to impeach. Oh, really? Why? The person was asking a neutral commentator for a change. I like neutral commentators. Oh, I see. You're going to teach him why? Uh, well, I don't know. He went on to say, I don't want to be impeached. Why are they going to do why are they doing this to me? I have no clue why. Why? I'm just trying to be a good person.
5:15Ben Meiselas:What are you talking about, you lunatic? You are a war criminal. You are a sexual predator. You are covering up child sex trafficking rings. What in the world are you talking about here? Let's play this clip. Yeah, it's a disgusting thing. So you're going to lose everything. I'm going to have to go through impeachment. These are lunatics. These are people that are vicious, violent, that weaponize the justice system, the Justice Department, and they want to destroy our country. They want to see that our country fail. They want our country to fail. And we can't let that happen. You have to get out and vote in the midterms.
5:52Ben Meiselas:Here's the video that Donald Trump posted late last night, this 2021 conversation between Natalie Harp and Caroline Levitt. And you know that Donald Trump picked Harp to go on the catering container with him when he was so afraid that Iran was going to blow up old Air Force One. And then Caroline Levitt's announced her resignation. And there's a slew of high-level Trump regime White House officials who are all resigning. Everywhere Donald Trump looks, it seems that there's another resignation every single day. But Caroline was one of the more recent resignations. But this is the video that Donald Trump posted of them back in 2021.
6:34Ben Meiselas:And you can see it's just utterly deranged. But there were shenanigans that went on. Hillary Clinton won it only by 2700 back in 2016. Biden somehow beat even her margin by tens of thousands, even as President Trump gained over 20 ,000 votes. What went on in New Hampshire and what can New Hampshire do to make it secure going forward for 2022 and 2024? A lot went on in New Hampshire. Let me tell you, Natalie, I am running for federal office here because I want to ensure that the people of my great state have a voice at the state level and at the federal level. In 2020, in New Hampshire, there were more than 200 ,000 new voter registrations.
7:16By the way, we have a population of 1.3 million. So you tell me if that sounds right.
7:22Ben Meiselas:And speaking about utterly deranged, while you have whatever the hell's going on with Natalie Harp and whatever, you have Melania Trump posting photos of herself in front of the Grand Prix race cars over here, the IndyCar race car fostering the future. and she's making some weird pose. I mean, look, while the American people are suffering, can't afford rent right now, can't afford groceries, can't afford gas, right? Gas all time high in the nation's history. National average right now, about$4.11 a gallon, $5.50 a gallon nationwide for diesel. But if you're living in a state like I live in California, it's probably much higher for you than that.
8:08Ben Meiselas:The crack spread, 3-2-1, up$102 a barrel. price of diesel approaching$200 a barrel, price of crude approaching$100 a barrel, the crack spreads the delta between your crude and your refinery diesel. That's why they call it the 3-2-1, three barrels, three barrels, but I won't geek out on you with oil. But good to know that Melania is in front of million-dollar sports cars and vehicles and posing like the cover of vogue that she was never on. By the way, in Canada, they are mercilessly mocking Donald Trump and his despicable regime. I saw this video right here of Carney knocking Donald Trump out.
8:52Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip.
8:59Ben Meiselas:Perhaps my favorite premier in Canada of Manitoba, Wab Kanu. He was asked yesterday before the trade talks officially collapsed. Remember, I showed you two days ago, the Wob Canoe interview where he was just unleashing on Donald Trump. And that's the sentiment of most Canadian people I speak to is what Wob Canoe was saying two days ago. I did a whole video on that. But then yesterday, a reporter and like the Canadian reporters are very much like kind of corporate news in the United States. Like they're not all that great. And they, especially in Canada, they often take the perspective of like, how can we appease America.
9:40Ben Meiselas:And the Canadian people are so not with that. It's why Midas Canada, led by Charlie Angus, I think has been so revolutionary and so important to really focus on what the Canadian people are experiencing, not this corporate Canadian media ecosystem that's toxic, not quite as toxic as our ecosystem here in the United States. But our Canadian viewers, them. Maple Midas, elbows up, know exactly what I'm talking about. So a reporter asks Wob Canu, by calling Donald Trump, he's the premier of Manitoba, like a governor for those here in the United States, but a little different. By calling Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, do you think this could damage the relationship?
10:22Ben Meiselas:And Canu's like, yeah, I don't care. It's true. They were best friends. It's an objective fact. Here play this clip.
10:35It's true. Everyone saw that Entertainment Tonight video, the two of them together,
10:40Ben Meiselas:and that was before AI. It's true. More from Canoo right here. A reporter asks, so I'm not asking you to recount the comments. Are you concerned though, that you just may harm the trade negotiation? And Canoo's like, no, I don't care. You're playing this clip. I'm not asking you to count the comments. I'm just asking how concerned you are about the potential effect of the trade initiatives. Not concerned. Now, here's the little weasel boy, Jameson Greer, after it was announced that Prime Minister Carney withdrew the Canadian negotiators, said, let's get back to Ottawa. The United States is acting in bad faith.
11:17Ben Meiselas:As Prime Minister Carney has said, no deal is better than a bad deal. As Warren Buffett said and Wob Canoe also reiterated, you can't do a good deal with bad people. You can't do good deals with them. And these are bad people. The Trump regime are scumbags. I mean, they're covering up child sex trafficking. They're covering up the Epstein files. These are horrific human, like vile piece of trash human beings. But watch this little weasel, Jameson Greer, after it was announced that the negotiations were off, even though Donald Trump announced there was like a deal the day before. Play this clip.
11:54Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.
12:00Ben Meiselas:Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walkbacks of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. Oh, by the way, while you have the IndyCar racing in Washington, D.C., it was also announced, though, that the Bahrain Grand Prix canceled. It will now be moved to the spirit of Bahrain is in Malaysia right now. It's the spirit of Bahrain because the United States security umbrella in the region has collapsed and Iran has been able to strike whatever it wants of Bahrain, and Bahrain knows it's not safe.
12:40Ben Meiselas:Tourism crashing there, tourism crashing in all of these U.S. allied countries that thought they would be protected with U.S. military bases, but that ain't happening. Speaking about the security umbrella breaking down, Tom Barrack, the United States ambassador to Turkey, did this interview with Marion Noffal the other day. He's also the special advisor to Syria. And as the ambassador to Turkey, He opined on Netanyahu's regime striking the airport in Syria that's next to Turkey. And then Netanyahu's been threatening Erdogan a lot lately and saying, we destroyed that airport. A lot of people in Netanyahu's regime are saying Syria is like Gaza on steroids.
13:26Ben Meiselas:It's our next Gaza, is what a lot of people in the Netanyahu regime are saying. And they're also been saying a lot of threatening things about Erdogan, the president of Turkey. And so you have Tom Barrack saying, I don't know, you know, maybe this will be the next World War III. We'll see. So this is Barrack's Trump's guy. So the fact that he's out there saying maybe we'll be in World War III, maybe we won't. We'll see. This is Trump's ambassador to Turkey and the special advisor to Syria. Here play this clip. You know, we have all now we have all the discussions going on. Is it somebody getting invoked Article 5?
14:03The Turkish military is strong. They're courageous. They're very well equipped. They know what they're doing. Could this be World War III? I think our opinion is anything could be World War III from an unintended act, if you just looked at World War II. And that's what I think we're all trying to do. And you do a great job in elevating the level of discourse and dialogue so that all of us can start understanding it. And thank you for that.
14:29Ben Meiselas:but our belief is there's no intention at all to do any of those things also you have tom barrack um saying recounting a conversation that trump had with him recently and he said uh that trump asked erdogan president of turkey why didn't you ever just take syria you should have just taken it. And Erdogan said to Trump, why would I, it's not my country. They're their own country. Why would I just take their country? And the fact that Trump was telling Erdogan, you should have seized Syria and Erdogan saying to Trump, I'm not going to do that. That's another country. And having to explain that to Trump, it also explains what Trump's been trying to do with Canada, to be very clear, and why it's been so important that Canada goes elbows up and push back and punch back the way they have.
15:31Ben Meiselas:And Prime Minister Carney has been leading the way. And I want to give a hat tip, though, to the great work of Charlie Angus at Midas Canada. He's been heroic as well. Play this clip of Tom Barrack. Let's play this other clip. And by the way, full stop here. You've heard President Trump say before in public, he's asked President Erdogan, why didn't you just take Syria on December 8th. If you were instrumental in helping them, why didn't you? Why didn't you just take it? President Erdogan responded because we don't want it. We want Syria to be a sovereign and independent country as a canvas and a blanket in the middle of this very difficult zip code.
16:08Saudi Arabia feels the same. Of course, Israel feels the same.
16:14Ben Meiselas:And then you had Donald Trump on the tarmac before that ridiculous event he did in south carolina with darlene graham when donald trump was saying i think we'll have a deal with canada tonight i think we have one wrong play this clip but they're not ready to make the right deal in my opinion yeah have you come to a deal there i think so we'll see i've dealt with the prime minister have given a good relationship and yeah we uh have to take care of our farmers the farmers are very important to me. And the deal with Canada is moving along and we should be able to have a deal with Canada. We're also starting on a new deal with Mexico, a much better deal for the United States.
16:55I only make good deals, much better deal for the United States, both with Canada and Mexico. Thank you very much.
17:06Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump was asked about the beef deal that he announced earlier. So you said you did a deal, Donald. Which countries did you do the deal with? Because you certainly pissed off American ranchers because you said you were going to undercut them by bringing in foreign beef at a 25 % discount and you never alerted the ranchers here. You want to explain to our ranchers or to the American people where this beef is coming from? How about even just from a health perspective, don't you think the American people might want to know where you're bringing in this very, very ultra cheap beef from apparently, then you can undercut an actual market by 25%.
17:48Ben Meiselas:Also, doesn't this sound very much like communism, but it's like even the most warped form of communism. It's communism to help foreign countries hurt the United States and undercut your own people and your own. It's central planning for other countries in your country. It's like the most deranged stuff imaginable. In any event, here, play this clip of what he's... On the beef deal, which countries did you make that deal with? What are the sources of the beef deal? I don't want to say which countries, but there are a few countries, but they're going to be sending in the highest quality beef, and it's something that we need.
18:27Ben Meiselas:Because I don't want to say who I did the deal with. I'm going to keep it super secret. I can't tell the American people who I did the deal with. Okay, that's bizarre. And then finally, Donald Trump was asked about$40 trillion debt, which has been hit in the United States. Didn't you say that you were going to reduce the debt? You had Doge and you were going to fix it all and it was going to be great. You're responsible for like 30 % of all of the US debt. You're responsible to more debt by far than any other president. Not even close. And Donald Trump, like the con artist, fraud, scumbag that he is, what does he say?
19:05Ben Meiselas:He goes, well, we'll just grow our way out of it. Our growth has been so good that we will just grow our way out of the debt. Our growth has not been so good, okay? Our growth has been anemic under you. We barely have GDP that's been growing. By the way, for most of the economy, for the average American person, 99 % of the American people, we are in a massive recession or even a depression for most Americans. The rich people have made a lot of money and AI and data centers, and that's propped up the GDP to like 1.5%, 1.7 % growth. But that's not some like incredible growth. People talk about the K-shaped economy.
19:48Ben Meiselas:The rich have gotten richer, the poor are getting much poorer, and the middle class. There is no middle class in the United States anymore. But short, tell us we're gonna grow our way out of it. Donald, here, play this clip. It's a presidential debt. As you know, it's surpassed 40 trillion. Have you been discussing what to do about that? Well, I have, and there's been a problem for 35 years. And what we have now that we've never had before, we had a pretty good piece of it in my first term, as you know, is we have tremendous growth. And the way you take care of debt is with growth. And we have tremendous growth.
20:24We've never had growth like we have right now. The growth will take care of that very easily. It's a$1 ,700. It's quite too much.
