A lunatic meltdown all last night as his supporters are loudly turning against him. So Donald Trump decides let me take it out on the Somali population in Minnesota and tell the 705 Somalis that have temporary protected status in Minnesota. I. I'm revoking it. And Donald Trump's like, the Somalis are all involved in fraud. I'm targeting Somalis in Minnesota. Okay, well, this follows Donald Trump inviting Zoran Mamdani into the White House. I don't think I've ever seen Donald Trump happier. Trump was starstruck at mom Donnie. I mean, look at Donald Trump smile and fawn over mom Donnie. Then Donald Trump, after this meeting, was just posting photos like it was a great honor meeting with Zoran Mumdani, the new mayor of New York City. He posts photos of himself in front of portraits of fdr. But leading up to this meeting, Donald Trump's like, I'm gonna have this communist show up, and I'm gonna show him. And Donald Trump's like, this guy isn't even a legal citizen. And Trump's like, we're gonna show him how you do it in maga. I mean, Trump says the most, like, despicable and defamatory things about Zoran Momdani on social media. But then when Momdani's there in person, when what does Donald Trump do? Donald Trump smiles, and it's so great to see you. Trump was starstruck, by the way. Similar way that Donald Trump deals with California Governor Gavin Newsom, right? Trump would be like, new scum. He's the worst governor. News come this, new scum that. And then when Donald Trump visited California, remember during the wildfires, where Trump was spreading all of those lies, and California Governor Gavin Newsom was standing right there on the tarmac, taller than Donald Trump, stronger than Donald Trump. He shook Donald Trump's hand, and then he just kind of gave a little fist bump into Donald Trump's chest. And you saw how weak Donald Trump is. A Newsom's like, you want to tell the press new scum. You want to go out and say those things? Go ahead. And Donald Trump, when he was actually there dealing with the confrontation, he couldn't handle it. He wasn't confrontational. Trump backed down. I think it's. Governor Newsom is so right when he says, you know, Donald Trump is weakness masquerading as strength. But it's not even strength anymore that's being masqueraded as. It's just weakness and fraud. Unadulterated. Right, Right. Pure weakness and fraud that we can all see. And so I think it's just important that we all exert the moral and formal authority that we have, especially heading into Thanksgiving and stand up and push back at these weak, pathetic MAGA losers and stand behind our values as people who love democracy, people who are empathetic, people who care about the environment, who support equality, who uplift marginalized communities, who that people get health care, that support free health care, that support free and great education, that support jobs for Americans and make sure that Americans have affordable housing. Let's stand up and be damn proud about it and stop backing down to these weak, pathetic MAGA losers. We can do it, folks. And that's what I think this week has been inspiring. When you stand up to this regime, this regime backs down. They huff and they puff and they blow your house down. But you want to know who the real piggies are? Trump and these MAGAs. And I love that Governor Newsom's mocking them like this. This little piggy is waiting on the Epstein files to be released. It's a real photo of Donald Trump right there. Obviously, the pig face was superimposed, but it may as well be Donald Trump's real face. Governor Newsom says, that's okay. He took a nap earlier and he's got a little. He's got his little piggy legs, Trump's piggy legs. And then Governor Newsom goes, good night, piggy. Good night, piggy. By the way, did you see that Fox didn't know how to even handle the Trump meeting with Zoran Mamdani, where the press was like, so do you think that Mamdani's gonna make a great mayor? Trump's like, yeah, I think he's gonna be a great mayor. Well, you know, he's called you a fascist before. Trump's like, well, call me whatever I want. He didn't call me a fascist. I get, you know, just call me a fascist. It's fine. Does it bother you that Mamdani can do these things to billionaires? Nah. Trump goes, nah, they're gonna be great. He's gonna be a great man. He's going to be a great mayor.

Watch.

After the meeting, Fox is like, just one word, wow. Here, play this clip.
- [07:06]
E
Just one word, wow. Kami Mamdani, as the president has has quoted referring to his guest in the Oval Office there from. For the past several months, looked like best friends with. With President Trump now. I mean, it was an extraordinary meeting. We missed, of course, the conversation they were having before they. The press. That went on for about a half hour. The meeting, according to both men, was very cordial. The president saying he wants Mamdani to succeed as best as he can to make New York what it can and should be.
- [07:44]
B
And this is how the New York Post was describing it as Mamdani. Trump's expected slugfest turns into a love fest as president says socialists will make New York City greater than ever before. Trump said he would feel at ease living in New York City under Mayor elect Zoran Mumdani after their chummy Oval Office meeting on Friday, quote, yeah, I would. Especially after the meeting. Absolutely. Trump told reporters when asked, would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a mom Donnie administration? So fascinating. So fascinating. Let's talk about a few other topics, though. Consumer expectations, consumer sentiment, the lowest ever in United States history based on the University of Michigan survey. The University of Michigan has been taking this survey for about 70 years measuring consumer expectations and sentiment. Right now, consumers heading into Thanksgiving feel worse than at any time in the history of this poll. Worse than the Great Recession, worse than when the dot com bubble burst, worse than during COVID because the American people are suffering. Things are far less affordable right now. Trump is ripping health care away. People see the jobless reports, the worst since the Great Recession. And Covid unemployment ticked up to 4.4%. I think it'll be 5 to 5.5% before the year ends. And then it says, I said Donald Trump just does cruel stuff every day. Like last night he posts, Minnesota under Governor Wallace is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. As the president, I'm terminating, effective immediately, temporary protective status for Somalis in Minnesota because Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great state. As I said before, there are 705 Somalis on TPS and you can't just revoke it like that. It expires in like 2026 or 2027. Yeah, March 17, 2026. So you can't just immediately terminate and he marginalized group. So let's just be clear. Somalis don't deserve this at all. And we stand in solidarity with you just to say the Somalis, how dare Donald Trump then. You know, cruel things like this, as you know from watching the Midas Touch network, I have a lot of friends who are nurses. We've worked very closely with nurses and advocating for nurses having good working conditions and just uplifting nurses. They're the front lines.

C
Right.

B
Of medical care, you know, and sometimes they always get the short end of things. And I hate that. And I love nurses. And so I'll just show you what the Department of Education is doing. They no longer consider nurses as a professional degree. That's one of the Trump, the Trump policies over the past 40 hours, right? One was swastikas and nooses and the Confederate flag should no longer be deemed hate symbols in the military. And they were called out on that like, oopsies, okay, we didn't really mean it. And then their other plan on Friday was nurses are no longer deemed to have professional degrees. Like, who's sitting around at the table right now with all the problems that Americans are suffering from because of this regime, with prices going up, up, up, with people being unable to afford homes, with health care being ripped away, the Affordable Care act, subsidies not being extended. You have Trump and these people in these Oval Office, these grotesque human beings go, oh, you know, it would be a good idea. What would it be, J.D. you like your couch, J.D. oh, I think it'd be a great idea. Let's take away nursing degrees and say that nurses aren't professionals. Let's just attack nurses. Oh, great idea, J.D. i mean, who the hell thinks of this stupid stuff? Here, play this clip.
- [11:30]
E
With a country deep in the throes of a nursing shortage, big questions today about a new edict from the Department of Education. The department no longer considers nursing as a professional degree, a move critics warn could shrink an already strained workforce. The reclassification will limit the loan and loan forgiveness options available to students in those nursing programs.

So rude, so utterly disrespectful, so contemptible. And speaking about so contemptible, as we've been reporting now for a very long time, we've been far ahead of, I think others in reporting on this. The Trump regime has tried to force Ukraine to surrender to Russia. Trump and Steve Witkoff, his envoy to Russia, they've been working through back channels with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's special envoy to the U.S. putin's guy who's working in the U.S. right now. They prepared a 28 point plan of surrender that they tried to force upon Ukraine and said, if you don't accept these surrender terms right now, give Russia basically all of eastern Ukraine. You can't build your military Ukraine, you can't join NATO. Ukraine, and we're going to lift all the sanctions, sanctions away from Russia. And Russia promises that it won't go to Keev. You'll have to give them all of eastern Ukraine, but they promise you they won't go to Kiev. How utterly disgusting. So Trump tried to force this plan on Zelinsky. By the way, when you read the plan itself, it looks like it was just Google translated from Russian. Like it literally just uses Russian terminology. And then Zelinsky caught it, smoked it out spoke with the European allies of Ukraine and they put on a united front and said, absolutely not. There's no chance that we are supporting this. They stood firm from Germany to the UK To France to all throughout Europe. And they said to Poland, they all put out statements saying absolutely not. We are not going to give up our sovereignty to Russia. Just now you have US and Russia basically as allies. You have Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Australia as a bloc. Just a, a sad thing as an American to see Donald Trump not just try to force a surrender on of Ukraine to Russia, but Trump surrendering the United States to Russia. So gross. So gross. So no wonder. Not a shocker that Donald Trump's approval is 38%, 37% depending on the poll. You know, you see things like this on page one of the Wall Street Journal. Middle class is buckling under financial strain from inflation. Or how about this? The Congressional budget office slashes U.S. budget tariff savings estimate by $1 trillion. The new tally leaves tariff savings failing to offset Trump's signature tax cut law, the tax cuts for the billionaires, which the CBO said would add $3.4 trillion to the deficit. So deficits are up, up, up. Our debt is up, up, up. Federal spending is up, up, up. Right now jobless claims are up, up, up. Right now our GDP is slowing. We have 80% of the country right now basically in a recession or in great recessionary conditions. Thus is the state of the United States heading into Thanksgiving based on the horrific policy planning, erratic behavior and I think frankly war crimes of the Trump regime while they still continue to cover up the Epstein files. I've been doing a lot of reports about this as well. That Ghislaine Maxwell, you know, Trump's bud, who he moved over from the maximum security facility in Florida, Tallahassee to the minimum security facility in Camp Bryan, Texas. Yeah. Well, she was willing to talk to Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney who became the number two at the doj. Todd Blanche, remember that interview where she basically lied about Donald Trump was such a great guy, I never saw him do anything wrong. Right. We saw all the emails that were released from the Epstein estate showing that she basically lied about everything. And that's not a shocker while she was willing to speak with Trump's doj. But guess what folks, she now says that she will not speak with Congress. In fact, she says that she will invoke the fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. So if the Congress were to ask her, did you ever see Donald Trump with underage girls or did you see this or that? Guess what she's gonna say. I invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. And you may be saying, well, Ben, she didn't invoke her Fifth Amendment rights when she spoke to Trump's lawyer. Exactly. Shouldn't that tell you everything you need to know? I don't care what political party you're from. You see where this cover up is heading. And James Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, the MAGA Republican, you know, like I'm James Comer and Jim Jordan, they're now saying, why should we even travel to Texas to take the deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell? She says she's just going to invoke the fif. Think it will be a waste of taxpayer resources to even try to take her deposition and videotape her invoking the Fifth. As I've told Democratic Congress members over and over again, and I've made my position very clear. You take that deposition. I want to see her under oath on camera. And I want you to ask the questions that you see Donald Trump with underage girls. Did you see him engaged in this conduct? Did you lie to Todd Blanche? Are you aware if Trump was engaged in money laundering? Did you see Epstein and Trump do this, that and the other? Let her say, I invoke the Fifth Amendment against self incrimination. And I'm not answering that. That must be done. You know, and I think one of the things that we're seeing as well, and I think people like Marjorie Taylor Greene are seeing this as well. The writings on the wall for this MAGA Republican Party, they're just ppp, a pedo protection program. They're covering up child sex trafficking. That's the one thing they're doing. They're not productive in any way other than they're covering up for child sex trafficking rings, the most powerful in American history and world history. How sick and disgusting, despicable, vile is that? Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing that she is quitting, that she's resigning from the House of representatives effective early January 2026.
