2:30Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump just rushed out of the White House. He's leaving for the week. He's done working. He wouldn't answer any questions of the press. And he is under a lot of pressure right now. There's been disastrous news after disastrous news for Donald. But he's done working on the taxpayer dime. He and Melania, they're heading to Mar-a-Lago again. They're heading to Florida. He's taking that vacation early while the American people suffer. Here he is leaving the White House, not taking any questions. Let's play this clip right here.

3:11President Trump, can you share an update on the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine?

3:22Ben Meiselas:Right now, while Donald Trump is leaving, I'll just show you what's going on. This was what CNN was playing as he was going. Donald Trump's polling right now is absolutely disastrous. The American people despise all of the pain and suffering that he has inflicted. Let's play this clip right here. Yeah, it's not good, Kate Baldwin. It's not good. I mean, the trend line here is pretty gosh darn clear. Trump's net approval rating on foreign policy. You go back to January, the start of Trump's term. He was above water, plus two points. Down he goes, down into the body of water. Underwater, minus 13 points at this particular point.

4:03That is a drop of 15 points on the net approval rating since January during Trump's first 100 days. If this is an audition, he is failing that audition in the minds of the American public. Way underwater at minus 13 points. Talk to me about this in like other presidents in the first 100 days. How is this looking? Let's put it in a historical context. OK, foreign policy net approval at this point of presidency. The average president plus 17. Trump in his first term, he was at minus 12. Not particularly good. And this is a good important reference. This isn't you know, this isn't like a back to back terms.

4:37This is non-consecutive terms or first terms, which I think is obviously very important. Correct. Minus 12 points here. That was the that was the all time record for a presidency, the 45th presidency of Donald Trump. You go to 47. He has broken his own record. He is the worst on record at this particular point. He was already the worst. Now he's even more the worst right now. And get that some quick math. Minus 13 plus 17. He is 30 points below where the average president is on net approval when it comes to foreign policy. The American people think he's doing an awful, awful, awful job, and they have rewarded him with the record of being the worst.

5:13I don't know if a medal comes with that, but if it did, he would get it. So this is broad foreign policy. What about what we're focused, obviously, today especially, we're focused most on, which is Russia's war in Ukraine. Yeah, okay. So when it comes to Russia and Ukraine, the recent Fox News poll asked about his net approval rating on these different countries and where on Russia. dealings with Russia, minus 18 points, dealings with Ukraine, minus 13 points. No doubt feelings towards Russia and Ukraine are impacting Trump's overall net approval rating on foreign policy, which at this point is the worst on record.

5:49Harry Anton, thank you very much. Thank you. John. All right. I expect we'll see more polls on the 100 days coming soon.

5:57Ben Meiselas:Also notable, One of the things that we're seeing to Bloomberg just published an October 14th phone conversation that they got their hands on between Steve Whitcoff and Russia's top foreign policy ministers. You have Dmitriev on this call. You have Yulav on this call. And it seems to be at this point that you just have Whitcoff basically serving as an agent of Russia. I'm just giving you my opinion, of course, but take a look at what's happening right here. SW is Witkoff. YU is the Russian foreign minister, the Russian, the top foreign advisor to Putin. And one of the things we've seen here is that, yes, indeed, Russia handed the plan over to Witkoff.

6:46Ben Meiselas:It's literally right in here. But this is what Witkoff is saying. Yuri, Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do. Here's my recommendation of what you do with Putin. Yuri's like, yes, please tell me. Whitcoff goes, I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on his achievement, that you supported it. You just, you're really glad to have it happen. So I would say that I think that it's going to be a really good call. He's referring to Trump and Putin, because let me tell you what I told the president. I told the president that you, that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal.

7:19Ben Meiselas:That's my belief. I told the president. And I believe that that's really what you're saying right here. But take a look what Yushikov and Dmitriev are saying. So Yuri Yushikov, that's why you, Kirill Dmitriev, that's one of Russia's top, reruns their sovereign wealth fund. These were the people who were hanging out with Whitcoff in Miami. Yushikov goes, well, we need the maximum, don't you think? What do you think? Otherwise, what's the point of passing anything on? Dmitriev, no, look, I think we'll just make this paper from our position and I'll informally pass it along, making it clear that it's all informal and let them do like their own.

7:59Ben Meiselas:But I don't think they'll take exactly our version, but at least they'll be as close to it as possible. Yushakov, well, that's exactly the point. They might not take and say that it was agreed with us. That's what I'm afraid of. Dimitriov, no, no, no. I'll say exactly as you say it, word for word. Yushakov, they might twist it later. That's all. There is that risk. There is we, all right, nevermind. We'll see. Yeah, it seems to me you can talk later with Steve about this paper. We'll do everything neatly. The 28-point plan was literally right there. You see Dimitriov actually talking about it there.

8:32Ben Meiselas:But I guess Donald Trump doesn't want to answer those questions. Hey, Maga Mike, what about you? What are you feeling now, Maga Mike? Maga Mike was doing the podcast with Stephen Miller's wife. This is what Maga Mike is doing right now. Play this clip of Maga Mike, please. You know who Jelly Roll is? Do I? Yes, we have selfies together. And as you know, Fox has been running segments like this on repeat, telling people, look, you can stay away from other protein because it's too expensive right now under the Trump regime. Play this clip. Now, remember, if you do want to do another protein like beef, the price is still up.

9:07It's about, I believe, five times the price that it was last year. So just keep that in mind. Maybe you're hitting the grocery store this weekend. And Turkey is probably your best bet. Just stick to the one. I'll send it back to you guys. You know what I'm going to say. Toe furky. There we go, Kelly.

9:26Ben Meiselas:Now, Donald Trump may also be saying that it's super cheap right now to go and that it's never been cheaper to buy gas. As even Fox is admitting right now, gas is basically the same price it was last year. Maybe it's a penny less. But folks, inflation is surging all around. Thanksgiving's way more expensive and the American people ain't buying what Trump is selling. Play this clip. And what the president wants to do is bring choices back, right? Compare it to health and to your auto insurance. If you drive correctly, you don't get speed tickets, you don't have accidents, you get rewarded with lower health or auto insurance.

10:00However, if you drive fast, drive reckless, have accidents, you're going to have higher health or auto insurance. What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself, you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out, and then you should pay less than the guy that is obviously not taking care of himself. Well, the insurance companies, they want all those together because it's their risk management. And Obamacare forced them to come together. That's why we have to push this together. We're running out of time, Peter, but I

10:33Ben Meiselas:You know, this time of year always gets a little chaotic between work, family, and trying to plan for the new year.

I guess one of the things that Donald Trump doesn't want to answer to is the House Judiciary Committee Democrats just released right now a damning report on Trump crypto and a new age of corruption. I'm just going to read for you the executive summary right now because this is damning. It says, since taking office, Donald Trump and his allies in Congress have cut funding to Medicaid and Medicare. There are millions of Americans off their health insurance, refuse to extend tax credits that help make health care more affordable and use the government shutdown as an excuse to illegally fire federal civil servants and withhold food benefits for 42 million Americans, including children, individuals with disabilities and veterans.

12:32Ben Meiselas:At the same time, Trump and his family have been pocketing billions of dollars through corruption of an unprecedented scale. This report shows how the president has leveraged his office to make millions of, to make himself a crypto billionaire and how he has extended broad protection to fraudsters, scam artists, and other online criminals who in turn repay the president and his family with millions of dollars in tribute. Perhaps most troublingly, these crypto ventures allow anyone, including foreign governments, hint, hint, the Russians, hint, hint, the Saudis, hint, hint, UAE, hint, hint, China, hint, hint, you name it, in order to be involved in this organized crime groups, corporate interests and criminals seeking pardons to gain government contracts, appointments and presidential favors to secretly place huge sums of money directly into Trump's pocket.

13:33Ben Meiselas:In the year since his victory in 2024, Trump's fortune has expanded monumentally because of crypto dealings. According to Reuters, the Trump family raked in more than$800 million in income from sales of crypto assets in just the first half of 2025. Although it is difficult to determine the precise value of Trump's cryptocurrency holdings, public reports make clear the number is in the billions, with some estimates value his holdings as high as$11.6 billion. I'll do another deep dive into this report right here, but it is damning, damning stuff. Now you'll recall Earlier, Donald Trump turned the Turkey pardon event into something really weird.

14:16Ben Meiselas:It's supposed to be wholesome. You know, you normally want to watch it with your kids. But Trump's just started lying and saying that he stopped eight wars and we're super close to Ukraine, he says. But as you know, he's basically working with the Russians, as I just demonstrated, thanks to the great Bloomberg reporting. Here's what he says about he stopped eight wars. Just more lies from Donald Trump. Play this clip. I've also ended eight wars in nine months. And we're working on that final war. It's not easy, but I don't know. I think we're going to get there. 25 ,000 soldiers, Ukraine, Russia.

14:49In the last month, 25 ,000 soldiers have died. So I think we're getting very close to a deal. We'll find out. I thought that one would have gone quicker. We did eight. I thought that would have been an easier one. But I think we're making progress in less than one year. We've accomplished more than most other administrations have accomplished in eight years.

15:11Ben Meiselas:He then attacked former President Biden and said that he uses an auto pen. Wow, wow, wow. Play this clip. Terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. He used an auto pen last year for the Turkey's pardon. So I have the official duty to determine, and I have determined, that last year's Turkey pardons are totally invalid. as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned other than uh where's hunter and then donald trump started calling governor pritzker a fat slob play this clip of every newspaper it's out of control the mayor is incompetent and the governor is a big fat slob He ought to invite us in, say, please make Chicago safe.

16:04Ben Meiselas:We're going to lose a great city if we don't do it quickly. Make. And then here, Donald Trump was saying that instead of the pardons, the turkeys may go to, he calls them terrorist detention centers, but they're really concentration camps in El Salvador. Very bizarre behavior. Let's play this clip. But instead of pardons, some of my more enthusiastic staffers were already drafting the paperwork to ship Gobble and Waddle straight to the terrorist confinement center in El Salvador. And even those birds don't want to be there. You know what I mean? Those are tough. I'd like to thank the president of that country.

16:39They do a rather efficient job. It's got to be the largest prison in history. I've never seen anything like it. And a lot of people are behaving on our streets now. You know, Washington, D.C. is a safe, it's considered a safe zone. This was one of our most unsafe places anywhere in the United States. It is now considered a totally safe city. I won't tell you about murders. We're having murders, like a lot of murders, on a weekly basis. We haven't had

17:09Ben Meiselas:a murder in six months. Now, folks, I'll do a deeper dive on this as well. But New York Times just did a great report on the signs of Donald Trump's personal fatigue, that he now starts his day at 12 0 8 PM in his first term, he started at a 10 31 AM, but now the number of Trump official appearances has decreased 39%. In 2017, he held 1 ,688 official events between January 20th and November 25. Now he's only appeared at 1029 official events. And again, he starts his day at noon. He starts his day at noon. What are we talking about folks? Look, we'll keep you posted every step of the way as always here in the Midas Dutch Network.
