In short

The episode argues that Donald Trump is escalating conflict and censorship, including trying to stop booing at the U.S. Open, threatening military action against U.S. cities (especially Chicago), and using ICE and the military in ways the hosts call unlawful and provocative. It also claims the administration is hiding evidence of a deadly U.S. strike near Venezuela and undermining energy policy (wind/solar).

2:05Ben Meiselas:That right there was from the We Are All D.C. End the Occupation March. Tens of thousands of people showed up in Washington, D.C. to protest the military occupation of Washington, D.C. You see some additional photos right here of the spontaneous, peaceful demonstrations. Here you have churches in Washington, D.C., ringing their bells in support of the protest, as Jason writes here. Play this clip.

2:54Ben Meiselas:Now, the protests weren't just limited to Washington, D.C. We saw protests across the United States and, for example, in Chicago, where Donald Trump is threatening a military invasion. Donald Trump posted earlier on Saturday a meme of himself, which he labeled Chypocalypse Now, based on the anti-Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now. But I guess the image that Donald Trump shows is his Department of War, as he says, invading Chicago. Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of War. But Donald, didn't you say that all of the wars after World War II were wokey and our troops were all wokey, even though you're Mr.

3:43Ben Meiselas:Cadet Bone Spurs and got five deferments to avoid the Vietnam War? So was this wokey? I'm very confused about all of your things, but you're just a gigantic moron at the end of the day. So Donald Trump posts that meme. I love the smell of deportations in the morning. More on that in a moment. But the military invasion against Chicago is imminent. You see people beating Donald Trump's effigy right there. Here were the ICE protesters marching up to troops at the Naval Military Station, which is likely going to be used or is being used rather as the ICE location to start provoking the community. The plan is provoke the community, try to get some violent response to the ICE protesters, then bring in the Marines to try to quell the violence that the Trump regime is intentionally inciting.

4:35Ben Meiselas:Let's show you a brief clip of the protests in Chicago. Play this clip.

4:51Ben Meiselas:and Donald Trump is bragging about his new patio club. He destroyed the Rose Garden. He's put cement all over it and he called it the club Rose Garden, the Rose Garden Club. And then sycophants like Maga Mike Johnson go. The grand opening of the new Rose Garden Club at the White House last night was epic thanks to real Donald Trump for his hospitality and visionary leadership. Like what the hell are you morons talking about? Visionary leadership threatening to invade American cities as our economy is tanking. We had the worst jobs print in generations this past week. We have our enemies meeting in China, laughing in our faces, aggregating massive amounts of power in the absence of America taking on any role internationally or even domestically as a normal actor.

5:52Ben Meiselas:But the Rose Garden Club is visionary leadership. You freaking morons. You Stephen Chung, Donald Trump's communications director is not in all that great shape. goes, the grand opening of the Rose Club at the White House, to which Governor Newsom goes, how was the menu? And as we wrote all these photos that these MAGAs were posting, these MAGA leaders at their elite club, we wrote elites gathering at their new exclusive club on the taxpayer's dime while they make you poorer and they get richer. Never has an administration shown such disdain for working people. Governor Gavin Newsom goes, our economy is in a downward spiral, but don't worry.

6:35The GOP are spending their time cheersing Diet Cokes at a new exclusive club. Governor Newsom then writes, Predator Patio. Welcome to Predator Patio. Admission,

6:49Ben Meiselas:Just prove that you are on the Epstein list. Now, as the entire country utterly despises and detests the vile piece of trash in the Oval Office, Donald Trump has ordered that the United States Tennis Association prohibit broadcasters from showing people booing him at the U.S. Open Finals today. We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president's attendance in any capacity. USTA asks broadcasters to censor reaction to Donald Trump's attendance at US Open when he gets booed. Really? And you wonder why corporate news is in the tank and why networks like Midas Touch are soaring?

7:46You're censoring out the booze? That's what you're censoring out? Are you kidding me? As Donald Trump crashes our economy, declared a trade war against the world, has masked ICE agents disappearing human beings off the streets, throwing them into concentration camps as Trump is killing every sector from health to energy to education to you name it. You're censoring out the booze. How freaking pathetic can you be? Oh, in response to Donald Trump threatening to invade Chicago and to cause a chypocalypse now, Governor Newsom writes, the president of the United States is deploying the military onto U.S.

8:31streets and using our troops like political pawns. Do not allow yourself to become numb to this. Governor Pritzker of Illinois, Chicago's the city in Illinois, of course, writes the president of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal.

8:49Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump isn't a strong man. He's a scared man. Illinois won't be intimidated by a wannabe dictator. Charlie Angus, who leads Midas Canada, subscribe to the Charlie Angus Midas Canada YouTube channel, by the way, writes, anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up. If he's willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence, he won't hesitate to go after us. Stay strong, stay focused, keep the boycott going strong. Well said. Meanwhile, you have Just Dance J.D. Vance say the following, killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.

9:37Brian Krasenstein, a Twitter influencer, writes, killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime. J.D. Vance responds, I don't give a shit what you call it. Steve Besklis responds. This is an actual exchange from a vice president who took an oath to defend the Constitution and as a citizen is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime. And even though the Supreme Court, unfortunately, gave absolute immunity to Donald Trump, Just dance, Vance. You don't have absolute immunity.

10:22So your admissions of war crimes may come back to haunt you. And of course, the United States now is covering up a military strike on a boat off the coast of Venezuela, which the United States first said was a drug interdiction of a boat heading to Trinidad. Then Donald Trump claimed, no, it was invading the United States. When you look at the boat, it was 16 to 24 feet in length, no bigger than 30 feet. They claimed 11 people were on it. I don't see 11 people on it. They said it was Trendy Aragua. It looked like a fishing boat to me, but even if it was Trendy Aragua, which engages in human trafficking, how do you know you did not kill anyone innocent on the boat?

11:06When Donald Trump posted a video of our military killing the people on the boat, America's president, I hate to call him that post ISIS style death videos on his social media account now. That's what he does. And even if they were drug dealers, we don't have the death penalty for drug dealers in the United States. Why wouldn't you try to arrest them and have the maximum accountability under the law? And that ship didn't even have enough fuel to get to the United States based on its size. So what the hell is going on there? And we haven't even had a report. Who were these people? What happened?

11:44Was it just a regular fishing boat? They just say, trust us, bro. They're Trende Aragua. Dude, you've said that everybody's Trende Aragua or MS-13. You put the letters MS-13 on Abrego Garcia's hand. You drew them on and then said, no, those are real letters. So I'm not exactly going to trust you, bro, when it comes to murdering individuals and posting ISIS style death videos and then not talking about it anymore. You're the same guy who says that Jeffrey Epstein's pedo sex trafficking ring is the Epstein hoax created by Democrats. So I don't think you have that much credibility, sir. Sir, I don't think you have that much credibility.

12:29Rand Paul, Republican from Kentucky, goes, J.D., I don't give a shit, Vance, says killing people he accuses of a crime is the highest and best use of the military? Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial. And talk about despicable and thoughtless sentiment. Our idiotic Department of Energy posted yesterday, wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside and the wind is not blowing.

13:15As my friend Aaron Rupert writes, we are governed by the drunk uncle who you try to avoid at family gatherings. What do they even know the way energy works? And again, the rest of the world is quite literally laughing at us because as Trump destroy solar and wind because Trump didn't like the windmills outside of his Aberdeen, Scotland golf course. So he's inflicted his conspiracy theories upon all of us now. Other countries are like, okay, well, we're going to become leaders in the energy of the future. And sure, America could go back to its horse and buggy and its coal and killing its people with pollute.

13:55Go, go, go, go, go do that, America. Like, do y 'all realize how freaking stupid we look and how damaging this is to our economy. These were also jobs being created also. But the Trump regime, they're just going to go with whatever Donald Trump deranged, demented, addled, idiotic, loser, bankrupter, sexual abuser, felon, whatever he wakes up and says, it's like, okay, Donald, yeah, Donald, you want to do Club Rose Garden, Donald? Okay, Donald, Club Rose Garden. You say that grass has a life, grass is alive and four lives, and you love grass. That's very a normal thing for the president to say.

14:33Your wife is acting as your caretaker right now and whispering into your ears what the questions are because you can't even understand. Oh, very normal. Let's pretend that all this is okay. You zigzag and can't walk in a straight line. Oh, no, no, normal stuff. You talk about, you brag about alligator Alcatraz and I could go on and on and on.

14:53Ben Meiselas:You get the point. But folks, at the end of last week, we had like the worst jobs report ever. Only 22 ,000 jobs being created in August. The June jobs number was revised down, negative print, negative 13 ,000. Unemployment amongst young peoples, over 10.5%. Unemployment amongst African Americans, 7.5%. We've lost 78 ,000 manufacturing jobs since the beginning of the year. 40 ,000 manufacturing jobs lost since Donald Trump declared Liberation Day, which I called Liquidation Day. We have far more houses for sale than there are active people looking for homes. It's the worst in the history of the market ever being recorded.

15:41Ben Meiselas:We have inflation going up. We have a stagflationary period right now. But Donald Trump's out there posting golden age and, oh, And by the way, you want to know what Donald Trump's scheme was to get our egg prices down? And by the way, as you know, egg prices are still up year over year, significantly, as are all groceries by far. While Donald Trump says that he's reduced inflation, that it's gone. Inflation's been solved. Golden age is here, that idiot says. You know what he did? he brought in eggs from Russia, secretly doing trade deals with Russia to bring in eggs where they have a trade, where they have a shortage of eggs in Russia.

16:24That's what you're doing. So you're attacking Ukraine, but you are importing eggs from Russia. How stupid is this? How stupid is this? Hyundai was building an$8 billion factory in Georgia and ICE is imprisoning the company and staff who were on a business trip from South Korea? The business people who were visiting the plant from South Korea got arrested and detained by ICE. People in South Korea are absolutely pissed right now. SBS South Korean TV says, really? Hyundai promised to invest in the United States and then the Trump regime kidnapped the people of South Korea? No wonder people don't want to show up here.

17:05No wonder the tourism boycott against the United States is killing Vegas and killing tourism across the United States. No one wants to come to this country right now. And Prime Minister Modi doesn't even want to show up from India. Doesn't want to show up before the United Nations General Assembly at this point. And also you have Marco Rubio and the

17:27Ben Meiselas:Trump regime preventing the Palestinian president from even giving a speech and addressing from even getting a visa to show up because all these other countries that are once allied with the United States, whether it's Canada, the UK, France, and others, are now going to be recognizing, rightfully so, recognizing the Palestinian state at the September United Nations summit meeting coming up because that's how petty and despicable this Trump regime is. I have so much more to say this morning. I've got a lot of videos coming your way, so check back every 90 minutes this morning, okay? Keep checking back on this YouTube channel.
