Monday.com I started Ornod in 2013 and we make bike apparel. The best part of Shopify for me is our ability to run the business as essentially non technical people. We're able to admin everything on the back end, front end and sell things online easily. If Shopify were a bike accessory, I think it would actually be the bicycle. It's the thing that you do the thing on. We run the business on Shopify. Start your free trial on shopify.com Donald

Trump was having a psychotic meltdown all last night. He was making post after post like this, promising disaster relief for natural disasters. Back in 2024, for example, he posted to Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia for Hurricane Helene disaster relief. We're going to give the great state of Georgia $318.3 million. Then he says to the great state of Michigan, we're going to give you $32.1 million. He says to the great state of Wisconsin, MAGA Republican Congressmember Tom Tiffany has convinced me to give you $22.6 million to the great state of Florida. I'm going to give you $415.9 million for disaster relief. It was post after post like that of Donald Trump saying I'm going to give this state money for disaster relief and that state dis leave money. Why? Because one of the things we learned yesterday in more detail than we ever got before, because Trump had to produce his financial disclosures from 2025 is the extent of his grift. The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking sometimes that it quite literally shocks your consciousness as is this real? And it is so. The Trump organization made about $2.29 billion in crypto schem schemes in 2025 alone, according to Donald Trump's 2025 disclosures, which were just released on June 30 of 2026. You know how investors did on those Crypto schemes, well, they lost $2.28 billion. When you actually look at Donald Trump's personal net worth increase from just the crypto schemes alone, Donald Trump extracted $1.1 billion added to his net worth. Liquid cash to Donald Trump divided as follows. $635.1 million Trump made off his meme coin royalties. $236.3 million for the World Liberty Financial token sales. $196.9 million for sale of ownership interest in the US $1 stablecoin venture. $65.6 million. Sale of part of Trump's stake in World Liberty Financial. $6 million for Melania Trump's NFT business. 1.82 million for the Ethereum validator. By the way, Trump says, I'm the crypto president, I'm the bitcoin president. Like, you all know that, like crypto and bitcoin has completely crashed under this Trump regime. By saying he's the crypto president, he means he's gonna steal all of the money for himself and take all the money for himself and leave everybody else holding the bag. He pulls the rug from underneath you. That's what we said he was a rug pulling president is one of the first things that we said. So why Donald Trump up at midnight doing, I'm going to give $459 million, I'm going to give $300 million. Because in his mind, it counteracted all of this other money that he was making. And if you just flood the zone with numbers, people just get confused. I'll show you some other charts right here. Look at World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture for Don Jr. Eric Trump, Steve Witkoff, who nobody appointed to be America's envoy to anything, yet he's America's envoy to everything, and he screwed up everything. This scumb. His sons Zach and Alex, netted a fortune for both families of at least $1.1 billion from World Liberty Financial. You know what's happening while all of that's going down? Let's take a look at the US Debt. Look at this chart right here. The national debt is rising. Oh, but didn't you say that Doge was going to be so dang effective that we were all going to get Doge dividend checks and our debt was going to decrease and our deficit was going to shrink. Didn't you make all of those promises? Oh, wait. You're the same fraud scumbags who made $2.29 billion of crypto schemes while your investors made $2.28 billion. Or on World Liberty Financial where your investors lost 76% while you all made $1.1 billion. Yeah, you know how people talk about that K shape economy. Don't these graphs look a little bit like those? K shape. And in fact, you know, the United States citizens, the United States people, Americans and frankly, people of the world. Yeah, they're the people who are getting dumped in the Trump MAGA pump. And D, take a look right over here at this chart as well. If you wanna look at the crack spreads between the price of crude and the price of gasoline right now. You know, the refiners, they don't really buy into the price of crude right now. Quite literally being as low as it is. They probably think that the Treasury Secretary Bessen is pulling a short ring right now. And so you see some of the biggest spreads ever and that's why the price of gas is not going down. Look at the Strait of Hormuz. Like, let's ignore the hyperbole, let's ignore the propaganda and let's see, are any ships going through the Oman route or that US Route, or are they all going through the IRGC route? Oh, the IRGC route. Are a lot of the ships mostly aligned with Iran? Yes. Is Iran getting out 50 million barrels of oil?

Yes.

Let's just tickle the reality of what's actually going down right now. And you want to talk numbers. You want to know why Donald Trump frantically was posting, I'm going to give the state deserts. Why wouldn't you give the disaster relief the way former President Biden was in real time? Now you're giving it in June 30 after sending denial after denial to all of these states who desperately needed it and by this point had to go and tap into basically all of their other resources in order to just try to stay afloat. But look at some of these other numbers right here. Funding for Trump's construction spree. Remember when Donald Trump said, my rich friends and I, we're going to pay for the ballroom. We're going to pay for all of these things in D.C. well, they've turned D.C. into a fricking junkyard. It looks absolutely disgusting right now. And the taxpayers are paying for it. You know, the ballroom. Yeah. The underground area. $400 million being paid by the taxpayers. The above ground area of the ballroom that he said that, you know, the bunker. $400 million or more, maybe even a billion dollars. The upper area of the ballroom that Trump said all of his rich friends are going to pay for. No it was a no bid contract that was routed through some obscure entity within the White House that was created for, like, minor repairs of, like, dense and, like, little things to fix. Well, that's what the Trump regime is saying, oh, well, this is like a little thing to fix. So what we're going to do is do no bid contracts because this little entity in the White House, obviously you need to, you didn't need to do a bid contract if it was like a $500 repair for a doorknob. Right. It wouldn't make sense that you have to go out and bid for a $400 doorknob. So the regime, the way they get around the requirement that you do contracts of competitive bidding is they go, now the $500 million we're going to steal from the people watching this video, it's like the doorknob. We're just going to take it. No bid contract to Donald Trump's buds and his friends. So, yeah, about a billion dollars on ballrooms, $250 million for Kennedy Center. 16 million as of now. And that number is increasing for the reflecting pool. I mean, billions of billions. Changing the name of the Defense Department to the War Department, 150 million do. That's $1.5 trillion to drop bombs on little girls and commit genocide and massacres that no American except sickos want to see happen. That's what the Trump regime is doing. You know, Donald Trump's up there panicking as well, because not just are the horrors being uncovered about his grift, his fraud, his personal Ponzi schemes, how he's made billions and screwed us. Folks, this is beyond impeachable. Dude should be in jail for the rest of his freaking life for all this. He should have been in jail for all of the crimes he committed before being in office. But I don't know how anybody watches. Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. You know, he's the president, He's a businessman. You're supposed to be a public servant. You're supposed to serve. You use the White House as a quid pro quo to steal our money, our taxpayer money, to enrich yourself. Honestly, what a shit. I mean, what a horrible fricking human being. It just makes me absolutely livid. And also the Wall Street Journal reported last night that there's basically a complete breakage, a complete rupture in the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Obviously, that's why Rubio, when he was in the Middle east, did not visit Saudi Arabia. MBS doesn't, you know, I mean, to some extent, they're stuck a little bit with some of the legacy America stuff. But we're learning more about how this rupture really formed in the biggest way. So the Trump regime announces back in May they were going to escalate the invasion of Iran with something called Project Freedom. And without asking Saudi Arabia to, they just start basically showing up and saying, all right, we're using the air bases there. We're going to Saudi Arabia. Your airspace, your air bases. Where you Saudi Arabia, like, nah, we're not doing that. We're not going back to war. Nope. Saudi Arabia's like, we're cutting deals with Iran. Okay. We're going to do a deal with Iran that we're going to broker a de. Escalation understanding. We're going to broker it through Pakistan, and Pakistan brokered this between Saudi Arabia, Iran. We're going to become neutral with Iran or allied with Iran. And so that's what Saudi Arabia has done. And actually, that's what a lot of Middle east countries have done right now. So as the Wall Street Journal also reported that the Trump regime is saying that they're considering options to escalate for a ground invasion of Iran. And you have J.D. vance saying, oh, you know what, this MOU is really just temporary period at this point where we are going to just test them. We still have a lot of games we want to play with Iran. That's what J.D. vance, remember the video I did? We have a lot of games we want to play. We still got a lot of cards that we want to play. We will see. We know the American people don't want to see. We don't want to play games. But regardless, most Middle east countries at this point want nothing to do with American military presence. And I think if we were to invade again, you'll see most of these Middle east countries saying, you're not going to use our airspace, you're not going to use our air bases. You could try to threaten us or do whatever you want. All the United States has done is they've pushed all of these countries to be closer to Iran. They moved them away from the United States. And basically it's Trump and Netanyahu right now. And we know from day one of all of this, Netanyahu just wants to continue to warmonger and invade. And he said, I'm not leaving Lebanon, I'm not leaving Syria, I'm not leaving Gaza. That's what the Netanyahu regime has been saying over and over. He was in Lebanon, like Flaunting that he was there yesterday and he wants to bring the United States back into war. And we the people have to say, enough. We don't want to be in this war. This has caused so much. This ain't a game. This ain't a talking point. I know how much you are struggling right now to afford anything right now. It's beyond difficult to afford rent. Who can afford a home right now, to afford food, to afford gas, to basically live. I know how hard you're working just to even get healthcare is difficult. Most people are struggling to even keep their healthcare and don't have healthcare right now. It's been ripped away by the Trump regime. They treat Medicaid as though it's some like, like fraudulent thing that people are out there like making it rain with Medicaid dollars to get life saving surgeries. These MAGA Republican scumbags who treat people like filth right now, who have no compassion whatsoever. And then you have the Trump regime and Netanyahu. Should we invade? Is this a game? We've got the cards. We've got the cards. Just enough. Even this, this account right here that was very much allied with Trump. No longer. And they're mocking him. It's called Autism Capital. They go, the first crypto president means he makes billions of dollars and you lose 90% in the bear market. Thanks for playing. Cause that's where the crypto market is right now. And then Donald Trump leaves by saying, big news, everybody. For the first time ever, we're doing a midterm convention in Dallas. It's gonna be a rally like no other. It's gonna be the greatest in that we're like, if you thought the Great American State Fair was amazing, I mean, I mean, you all have seen the videos of how great the Great American State Fair is. Have you ever seen. There's 200,000 people. Someone from the Trump regime claimed that there's 150,000 people a day. Did you see that? There was an. There was a reporter who was asking, what's your estimate The Trump regime, I kid you not. 150,000 people a day. Just. It's the stupidest lies. It's the dumbest. The vandals, they took the box cutter and then they started shredding it. And these people, we're not gonna tell you who they are. Super secret. We have them in CIA dark sites, in Guantanamo. We can't tell you. But they shredded it. And the algae is a criminal. It's criminal algae.

You know the criminal. Shut up. Just stop with the stupidity. Grow up. There's so many people who are suffering. Grow the hell up. What are you doing? What do you. Who are these. How do you get all of these sicko humans who join together for the sole purpose of causing us all pain? The sicko group of fricking humans. And then Donald Trump's like, the golden age of America has just begun. Then this sociopath mutant, J.D. vance, who's had, like, three different identities in his life. His name's not even J.D. vance. You know that, right? It's like three different names. When he was in high school, he said he was gay, and then he said he hates gay people. And then he's Appalachia and he hates Trump, and now he wants to lick Trump's feet. I mean, the hell is going on here? And then J.D. vance says, the goal for the Iran deal is that we want to refill our stocks of weapons. The goal of doing a peace deal is to rearm. Are you stupid? You're saying that out loud, number one. I mean, you realize Iran is watching that also. And what bad fate. You did a peace deal so you can rearm. Yeah, we don't want that. We don't want that. JD Here, play this clip. So I think what the President has
Guest/Interviewer
told us to do is use this MOU to sort of refill the world's oil economy, to refill some stocks, and then to see where the hand is.
Political Commentator/Host
And then jd JD Goes, this is the end of the beginning. There is a lot more games to play, and there were a lot more cards that we're going to see. What do you think this is a game of, like, magic?
Shopify Narrator
They go.
Political Commentator/Host
Those card games you played when you were getting magic cards. What do you think this is? This is real life. This is War and Peace. This is you all Trump regime sickos killing little girls in Manob. This is all of you engaged in horrific war crimes. We got more games to. This isn't games. These are people's lives. These are people's lives who are dying and starving and being killed because of all of you. And you're out there. These are games. This isn't a game. Who. Who is this? Who are these group of people who behave this way.
Guest/Interviewer
Yeah.
Political Commentator/Host
This is what JD Says. Play this clip.
Guest/Interviewer
This is the end of the beginning. Okay? There is a lot more game to play, and there are a lot more cards that we're going to see to mix metaphors here. And the good thing about it is that we're served by an administration. We're served by President, United States, who is constantly trying to figure out how to gain an edge for the American people.
Political Commentator/Host
And then JD's like, and here, here's what I'm so glad is that these signs that were up of people saying, you know, love is love. Those signs piss me off. Take those signs. Signs piss you off? Why? Why does it. Why does that piss you off? What are you even talking about? What the hell are these people talking about? How do we let these idiots become. Who are these idiots? For real? Play this clip.
Guest/Interviewer
Okay, so we're thankfully, thanks to Donald Trump, I would say we're past the point where most people, at least that I see, hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say, in this house, we believe. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, love is love.
Political Commentator/Host
Water is people, whatever.
Guest/Interviewer
No person is illegal. Okay, so that sign is like such a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed.

Date: July 1, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Theme: Exposing Trump's financial scandals, administration corruption, foreign policy failures, and the human cost of MAGA rule—with sharp analysis and signature Meiselas brother banter.
In this explosive episode, the Meiselas brothers take on Donald Trump's late-night social media tirades, dissect shocking financial disclosures showing massive grift and failed crypto ventures, and explore the catastrophic consequences of Trump-era foreign and domestic policies. They highlight the administration's culture of corruption, deepening Middle East isolation, ballooning government contracts for cronies, and relentless attacks on basic American values—all woven together with the brothers' trademark exasperation, irreverence, and unfiltered language.
This episode is a fiery condemnation of Trump’s ongoing grift, the cynicism and cruelty of the MAGA political machine, and the devastating impact of their policies on both America and the world. The brothers demand accountability, decry the normalization of corruption, and call for the public to “grow up” and stand against the Trump regime’s manufactured chaos.
