Through a blend of incisive commentary, brotherly banter, and unwavering support for democracy, the brothers dissect Trump's actions, policies, and their broader implications for the nation.
Trump's Controversial Presidency
Ben Meiselas opens the discussion by condemning Donald Trump’s presidency, labeling him with severe accusations:
Ben Meiselas [00:30]: "Putting a felon, a fraud, a sexual predator in the Oval Office, and someone who led an insurrection against the country. Not a great idea."
He underscores Trump's numerous legal and ethical violations, including being a felon for business records, a fraud involved in falsifying property valuations, and a sexual predator found liable for sexual assault. Ben emphasizes that these issues are often ignored by corporate news and mainstream media but are front and center on the MeidasTouch network.
Economic Downturn and Market Crash
Ben elaborates on the economic consequences of Trump's leadership, highlighting a significant market crash:
Ben Meiselas [02:15]: "Since Donald Trump declared Liberation Day, which is really self-inflicted, Great Depression day, annihilation day, liquidation day. So stocks have now lost over 15% in two trading days. About $10 trillion or more of market value just wiped away."
He criticizes Trump's handling of the economy, contrasting it with the previous administration’s successes. Ben points out the drastic drop in Bitcoin values despite Trump's prior praise of the cryptocurrency:
Ben Meiselas [04:00]: "Bitcoin is crashing. Over the past few days, we saw 18 dead as significant severe weather flash floods were tearing through parts of the United States... Bitcoin is crashing."
Neglect of National Tragedies and Military Affairs
Ben accuses Trump of neglecting national tragedies and military responsibilities. He mentions the deaths caused by severe weather and the loss of U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, asserting that Trump failed to acknowledge or honor these events:
Ben Meiselas [05:20]: "Bet you didn't hear Donald Trump talk about the 18 people who died over the past few days because of horrific storms... Donald Trump cannot be bothered."
Furthermore, Ben reveals Trump's plans for a massive military parade in Washington D.C., likening it to Kim Jong Un's displays, which he suggests is out of touch with the nation's struggles:
Ben Meiselas [07:10]: "He's preparing a massive military parade where he wants to bring out tanks and weapons and fly jets overhead as Americans are suffering."
Comparison with Former President Biden
A significant portion of the episode contrasts Trump's presidency with that of former President Biden. Ben highlights Biden's economic achievements, such as job creation, infrastructure projects, energy independence, and strong global alliances:
Ben Meiselas [06:05]: "Under former President Biden, 16.2 million jobs were created. Unemployment was at record lows... We were energy independent. Our GDP was leading the world."
He criticizes the media's portrayal of Biden's successes versus the negative coverage of Trump's administration:
Ben Meiselas [07:45]: "Under former President Biden, the markets were up 50% since he took office, but corporate news and MAGA Republicans only saw attack after attack."
Market Instability and Potential Great Depression
Ben discusses the current instability in global markets, drawing parallels to the Great Depression:
Ben Meiselas [08:30]: "Markets shut down because they're tanking and they hit a point where the markets literally have to shut down. If the S and P today falls more than 4%, it will be the first time it's done this since the Great Depression."
He warns of the looming threat of a market crash in the U.S., citing significant declines in major indices and the aggressive stance of oligarchs who remain unaffected:
Ben Meiselas [08:50]: "The oligarchs are feasting. Mark Zuckerberg bought a $23 million mansion to be right next to Donald Trump."
Trump's Dismissive Attitude Towards Economic Concerns
Ben criticizes Trump's dismissive attitude towards economic hardships faced by Americans. He references a conversation between Trump and a Bloomberg reporter, showcasing Trump's indifference:
Ben Meiselas [09:05]: "Trump says, 'I don't give an F. I couldn't care less if people suffer if prices rise.'"
Additionally, Ben mocks Trump's focus on personal indulgences, such as golfing, over national crises:
Ben Meiselas [09:26]: "Donald Trump bragged about his golf game and said he had a very low handicap."
Immigration Policies and ICE's Actions
The episode addresses the harsh immigration policies under Trump, highlighting the detention of a mother and her three children by ICE in Sackets Harbor, New York. Ben emphasizes the inhumanity of such actions, especially against non-criminals:
Ben Meiselas [16:00]: "A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm... They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity."
He shares a heartfelt statement from Jamie Cook, the principal of Sackets Harbor, detailing the trauma experienced by the students and their mother:
Jamie Cook [Speaker]: "When I think of my third graders' experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe... Please release my students and their mother back to our community."
Growing Resistance and Call to Action
Ben underscores the increasing resistance against Trump's administration, urging listeners to stay informed and involved:
Ben Meiselas [16:45]: "The protests are growing. The resistance will not be televised. It will be here on the Midas Touch network."
He encourages the audience to subscribe to their platforms for continuous coverage of protests and updates, positioning MeidasTouch as a crucial source of truthful and relentless reporting.
Conclusion
The episode culminates with Ben passionately denouncing Trump's leadership and the broader MAGA movement, accusing them of deceit and self-sabotage:
Ben Meiselas [16:30]: "Y'all are liars. And now you're a rug pull Ponzi scheme presidency... What do you think people are so freaking dumb."
