Episode: Trump has 1 AM Meltdown as Horrors Uncovered!!!
Date: February 8, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas

Episode Overview

In this explosive episode, the Meiselas brothers break down Donald Trump’s bizarre late-night social media meltdown in the context of shocking new revelations from the recently uncovered “Epstein files.” The hosts offer a blend of incisive legal analysis, political news, and their trademark brotherly banter, highlighting the deepening scrutiny of Trump’s actions, ongoing GOP losses in special elections, and a rising Democratic wave across key districts. The tone is sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically pro-democracy.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s 1 AM Social Media Meltdown

• [02:46] The episode kicks off with Trump’s erratic posts in the middle of the night, including dubious Rasmussen polls and melodramatic, fundraising-heavy emails aimed at supporters.
• Key Insight: The hosts underscore how Trump’s fundraising tactics border on scams, targeting loyal but vulnerable supporters—sometimes doubling or making donations recurring via tricky email prompts.
  • Quote, Brett (paraphrased): “He’s literally engaged in elder abuse or scamming his supporters in general, taking thousands of dollars from them.”

2. The Epstein Files: Bombshell Revelations

• [04:15] The hosts dive deep into new findings from the Epstein documents.
  • Trump’s name appears 38,000 times—more than “Harry” in the Harry Potter books, or “Jesus” in the Bible—much of it in “grotesque ways.”
  • Serious skepticism is expressed regarding Epstein's death being a suicide, with several inconsistencies highlighted:
    • Surveillance footage near Epstein’s death was deleted; a figure in an orange jumpsuit was present shortly before the death but scrubbed from official records.
    • The “noose” allegedly used in the suicide was never recovered—only a photo of an orange jumpsuit tied in a knot.
    • Nicholas Tartaglioni, placed in Epstein’s cell, was a quadruple-murderer whose M.O. involved eliminating people tied to trafficking; his proximity to Epstein seems far from coincidental.
  • Big Raise: The Trump DOJ drafted and dated a press release announcing Epstein’s death a full day before it occurred.
    • Quote, Ben: “Epstein died on August 10, but Trump’s DOJ prepared the press release August 9. ... Not just a typo—the day and date were both wrong. They reported him as dead before he actually died.”
  • The official press release was later edited to insert the word “apparent suicide.”
  • Conclusion: The brothers vow to continue pressing, determined to unravel the truth behind the timing, cover-ups, and Trump's connection.

3. Political Fallout: “Blue Tsunami” and GOP Special Election Losses

• [09:30] Focus shifts to major Democratic over-performances in recent special elections, notably:
  • Democrat Chasity Martinez won Louisiana House District 60A—a district Trump won by 13 points—beating Republican Brad Daigle by a landslide.
  • Recent Democratic margins in flips: +31, +40, and +20, demonstrating surging anti-GOP sentiment.
  • Quote, Brett: “If you’re a Republican right now, you could lose. The country hates you because you’re screwing everybody over.”
  • The analysis suggests that with overperformances this large, a “blue tsunami” is impending for upcoming elections.

4. Senator Jon Ossoff’s Speech: Condemning MAGA Hypocrisy

• [11:31] The hosts play and dissect clips of Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, calling out the MAGA movement and the hypocrisy within the GOP’s claim to be “for the working class.”
  • Ossoff on authoritarianism: MAGA has gone from “Don’t Tread on Me” to, essentially, “Obey the federal government or die.”
    • Quote, Sen. Ossoff: “What happened to don't tread on me? ... Are there any principled constitutional conservatives left in the United States?”
  • He slams Trump and his administration as the “Epstein class,” exposing their pro-elite policies.
    • Quote, Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class ruling our country. They are the elites they pretend to hate. ... Trump was supposed to fight for the working class. Instead, he’s literally closing rural clinics ... to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk.”

5. Corruption & Self-Dealing in the Trump Era

• [14:08] Final segment highlights Trump’s ongoing efforts to profit from his political status:
  • Trump’s business deals with foreign governments (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman).
  • Trump suing the U.S. government for $10 billion—directly attempting to take taxpayer money.
    • Quote, Ossoff: “So our president is suing the United States for $10 billion. ... Isn’t that our tax dollars? The answer is yes.”

Notable Quotes & Moments

• [02:46] Brett: “Go to sleep, Donald. It’s not gonna get much better for you. Just go to sleep.”
• [05:00] Ben: “Trump’s DOJ prepared the press release regarding Epstein’s death on August 9, but Epstein died on August 10. ... Those are two significant things, not just a typo.”
• [11:38] Sen. Ossoff: “Obey the federal government, they tell us, or die. What happened to don’t tread on me?”
• [12:42] Sen. Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class ruling our country. They are the elites they pretend to hate.”
• [14:18] Sen. Ossoff: “So our president is suing the United States for $10 billion. ... Isn’t that our tax dollars? The answer is yes.”
