Frankly, that's how he's spending every day. Also, he's spending his time crashing our economy and crashing our markets. Let me explain what went down. Oh, and by the way, Donald, when are you gonna release those Epstein files? Don't think that we forgot about that. Let me explain what went down. So Donald Trump previously issued an executive order against yet another law firm he doesn't like cause he says they're meant to him. The law firm's name is Jenner and Block. Jim Jenner and Block. Unlike the law firm Paul Weiss and Scadden, Jenner and Block didn't back down. They sued Donald Trump right away. The same way the law firm Perkins Gooey did. The same way the law firm Wilmer Hale did. More on that in a moment. And Jenner and Block. One they got assigned in their federal lawsuit against Donald Trump. A George W. Bush judge, a judge by the name of Judge Bates who was absolutely disgusted by the behavior of the Trump regime and issued an injunction against Trump's executive order number one, Donald Trump. Then Donald Trump loses again. The law firm Wilmer Howe, who Donald Trump targeted with a similar executive order, sues Donald Trump. A federal judge is assigned to that case. Also a Republican federal judge, a George W. Bush pointy by the name of Judge Leon. And Judge Leon rules against Donald Trump and injunction. Judge Leon was disgusted by the Trump regime's conduct. Also Judge Jeb Boasberg, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien enemies Act of 1789 to kidnap migrants and send them into concentration camps in El Salvador. Well, he extended his injunction to mid April, blocking Donald Trump from kidnapping migrants and sending them to concentration camps. What a loser. This Trump regime is lost over and over again in the courts. Also losing internationally as well. You had J.D. vance in Greenland where he was not welcome by the Greenlanders. So he had to stick to a military base in Greenland where he was whining and complaining about this grievance and that grievance from Greenland. About 90% of Greenlanders basically want nothing to do with the United States having any formal role or any role at all over Greenland. Greenlanders are pissed. And I think they are seeing how Canada has resisted. And now I think the whole world, including Europe, has seen how Canada resisted. An incredible meeting in Europe earlier this week as well, called by French President Emmanuel Macron. The coalition of the willing in France, democracies in Europe, other countries in Europe, Canada, Australia and others supporting President Zelensky as Donald Trump is spending his time basically getting Cheetos painted on his face at this point. I mean, I'm exaggerating. And this is an AI image of JD Vance spreading Cheetos on Donald Trump's face. And here's another, another one that I like even more. Sorry, I'm going to be immature just for those five seconds. Let's get back to it. As the Patriot Takes Account said, here are the five things that Trump did this week. Number one, Trump defended leaking war plans over signal. He said it was great. Why would I get mad at Pete Hegseth? I don't know. Maybe because Pete Hegseth literally listed the itinerary of when F18 would be bombing certain locations. Our Air Force pilots are at Hegseth putting them in harm's way. Our troops are absolutely pissed. In any government anywhere else in the world, people would be fired, they would be charged with crimes. But under the Trump cacistocracy. High five, high five. They think this is normal. That's my impression of Borat. Number two, Donald Trump took away Elise Stefanik promotion. Um, she was going to be appointed as the ambassador to the United nations. But even though she was in a plus 21 congressional district in New York, Donald Trump's pollster, the Fabrizio Group, showed that in Florida's 6 congressional district, which was a plus 30 Trump district, used to be held by Congressmember Mike Walls. Yes, The Mike Walls Mr. Leaker himself. Mike Walls, who was on the signal text thread, who's now the National Security Advisor. That seat, the Democrat who I've interviewed multiple times that Candidate Josh Wheel is apparently in the lead, according to Donald Trump's own pollster, Fabrizio. So Elise Stefanik, a member of Congress, MAGA Republican, Trump was worried they're going to lose that seat too. Trump's worried they're going to lose the florid as well. And so Trump basically recalled her nomination. Bye. Bye. Elise Stefanik and I reported earlier in the week the political earthquake that took place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which hadn't turned blue since 1889. Yep. 18, you heard me right. 1889 was the last time a Democrat won that Senate District 36. Over there, the Democrat James Malone beat the MAGA Republican and Malone ran against Doge and Musk and all of the horrifying things that they're doing in their hostile takeover of the United States government. Oh, by the way, we're learning now as well that John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, you have the same CIA director who said no mistakes were made by having the signal chat and inviting a reporter from the Atlantic, the editor in chief, onto this signal chat. Yep. That John Ratcliffe has invited now Elon Musk to the CIA to look through all of the CIA weapons systems. Yep. That's going to make people, people a little more off. I think so. And also, number three, Donald Trump tanked the stock market again. Number four, Donald Trump left work early on Friday, probably going back to Mar a Lago for yet another golf vacation at the taxpayer dime. And number five, Donald Trump protected the Epstein files for another week. When are you releasing those files, Donald? Didn't you say the Epstein files were going to be released? Oh, wait a minute. You're also the same guy who said Jeffrey Epstein is a great guy, you said, who likes girls on the younger side. Right. That's the Jeffrey Epstein who you talked about, one of your best friends before, who you partied with in Palm Beach. Yeah, that Jeffrey Epstein whose trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, you wished her well at her sex trafficking trial. Yeah. That's you, Donald. Right. I guess you'd always party with them. And I think I understand why it is that those Epstein files are not being released. Take a look at the front page of the Globe. Trump's self inflicted recession begins to take shape. Take a look at Business Insider. Look at the top right there. Over the past 24 hours, the Dow Jones down nearly 2%. The NASDAQ down nearly 3%. The S&P down nearly 2%. Donald Trump crushing the American economy. The Business Insider writes another big bank has slashed its stock market outlook amid soaring economic uncertainty. What's Trump and the MAGA press talking about? What are their pressing concerns in the Oval Office? As Americans are suffering, as Donald Trump is shutting down Social Security administration offices, as Donald Trump's giving $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the billionaires. And Donald Trump is cutting $880 billion from Medicaid, $400 billion from farmers, $400 billion from education, frankly, gutting the entire Department of Education, as Donald Trump is cruelly firing our veterans and demeaning and defaming them with Elon Musk and Doge. What are they talking about in the Oval Office? What's a woman? What's a woman? What's a woman? Penis vaginas. That's what they're talking about. That's what they, that's what they want us to focus on, these weirdos. Here's what Donald Trump says in the Oval Office. Let's play it very much, Mr. President.

Donald Trump
Happy, I want to say first of all, happy Women's Month. You do so much for women by first of all, keeping men out of women's sports. And you platform so many.
- [09:15]
Ben Meiselas
That was an easy one.
- [09:17]
Donald Trump
You platformed so many great women like your chiefs of chief of staff, Susie Wiles, you also as Caroline, doing a great job as press secretary. Now Elena will be joining as well. Since Democrats seem to struggle answering this question, I wanted to ask you, what is a woman and why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women?
- [09:33]
Ben Meiselas
Well, it's sort of easy to answer for me because a woman is somebody that can have a baby under certain circumstances. You can. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Wall Street Journal is reporting things like this. And Wall Street Journal leans conservative, leans right wing, right. Trump warned US Automakers not to raise prices in response to tariffs. Oh, you mean price controls. Is that was, that's your view of conservatism, Price controls is what you're saying there. And also, you're going to do these tariffs. You're going to keep the prices going up and then what, you're just going to crush the automobile industry? Exactly. Why the Atlanta Federal Reserve once again has its GDP Tracker for quarter one at negative 2.8%. You've heard me right. Negative 2.8%. So we went from former President Biden where we would have all of these wonderful reports, GDP increases, record job growth, energy independence, remember all of those headlines. And then on Fox, they tried to be like, yeah, but this does not exceed what our expectations are. He should be working harder. Remember all the crap they gave former President Biden, when the economy was actually hitting record highs, don't get me wrong, inflation was still higher than it needed to be. We should still be very sensitive to the reality that things were hard to afford. Absolutely. But former President Biden was bringing inflation down with the Inflation Reduction Act. Inflation was set to hit about 2%. That's the Fed target. The Fed was lowering interest rates and now they can't do it because the Trump regime is causing inflation to rise once again. Atlanta Federal Reserve says that there's going to be a negative 2.8% GDP contraction. That is bad signal. Chat leak angers US military pilots by the New York Times. Men and women who have taken to the air pilots on behalf of the United States expressed absolute bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. Quote, you're going to kill somebody, one of the pilots said. And look at JD out there all alone. Vance lands in Greenland, a place that doesn't want him. So what's JD Vance doing in Greenland? Well, he's using our troops as props, standing in front of them and attacking Canada and attacking Denmark, by the way, as well. But I'll just show you him attacking Canada. Play this clip.
- [12:03]
Press Secretary
Yeah, go ahead.
- [12:04]
Political Analyst
The tariffs, there's been some retaliation, some signals, at least in the media that Canada is going to respond. Some of these others are going to respond to the president's tariffs. What's your message for Americans that are going to see costs increase on auto manufacturing, new cars, that kind of thing? Is it buy America or what's the message going forward there?
- [12:26]
Press Secretary
Well, let me say a couple of things. First of all, for the Canadians, and we have many dear friends in Canada, and of course we love the Canadian people, but the Canadian leadership threatening retaliatory tariffs against the United States. As President Trump often says, they just don't have the cards. There is no way that Canada can win a trade war with the United States. What president?
- [12:46]
Ben Meiselas
Now you have, as I mentioned earlier in the video, that defense, very important defense security meeting that was held in Europe, in France, by a coalition of the willing led by French President Emmanuel Macron. Also Prime Minister Kier Starmer as well. Um, they said, Ukraine, we got your back. This as Donald Trump threw in front of Ukraine a new minerals deal which would basically destroy the Ukrainian economy and steal all of the minerals for Donald Trump. Pathetic behavior again by the Trump regime, as I always said. I always believe that the deal that Donald Trump wanted to cut with Putin was as follows. First, spheres of influence. Donald Trump goes, I got Greenland. I'm going to take Canada, I'm going to take Mexico. I'm going to take the Panama Canal. That's my territory. Russia, you get Ukraine. But Trump's going to say, I got the minerals of Ukraine, and Putin, you get all of Europe and I get the minerals from Ukraine. And then Xi Jinping, you can take Asia. I think that's what the overall plan, as Donald Trump saw it in his own mind and his own want to be authoritarian mind. But now, fortunately, you have Canada standing up. Canada strong. Elbows up to all of our maple Midas out there. We love you. We're grateful for you. Europe stood strong. Australia stood strong. They stood up to this tyrant. Trump looks weak. He's flailing. He's crashing the economy. He's a weak, pathetic, cornered rat. As you know what I like to say. No offense to cornered rats. By the way, we got a shout out at the Midas Touch network at Democratic Congressmember Robert Garcia's town hall. It's a pretty cool moment on Friday. Play this clip.
- [14:31]
Congressmember Robert Garcia
So what's next? How do we fix that? Fortunately, there's a young, talented group of people that are sprouting up across this country that are building now these new YouTube sites, some of you might know. Like Midas Touch, for example. Absolutely. So that's right. So places like new spaces like Midas Touch, like other other sites on YouTube, are actually growing really quickly now.
- [14:58]
Ben Meiselas
I'm going to do a whole other video about the town halls that are being held. Um, some are still being held by MAGA Republicans and the awful reception that they are getting there. I do want to show you this Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, who joined me this week. And here he's saying, look, let me explain to you also why Canadians aren't going to America. Yes, the threats of annexation, the attacks on our sovereignty. Absolutely. Number one. But also, we see in America a totalitarian regime. Right now. We see an authoritarian regime where if you show up there, you could be like the lady room. Mesa Oz Turk, the Turkish national who was like, kidnapped in the United States, not charged with any crimes. She wrote a paper, a pro Palestine paper paper. She's a PhD student at Tufts, and as a result, she got, like, kidnapped by ice. No due process at all. Kidnapped by ice. Here's what Charlie Angus has to say. Play this clip.
- [16:06]
Charlie Angus
But I think there's something deeper, Ben, that Canadians are really focusing on right now, which is watching our nearest neighbor slip into totalitarianism. When we see people being pulled off the streets, when we see people at universities being grabbed, detained Rendered and kidnapped. And then we see Kristi Noem, you know, the Homeland Security boss, doing this really disgusting video in front of half naked men in an overcrowded El Salvadorian prison cell. We're looking at a nation that we don't understand anymore and we don't want to be like that nation. And we are thinking if we go down the road with this regime, we're talking about the disappearance of the rule of law. And that's deeply offensive to us. It's deeply offensive to our friends in Europe. It's deeply offensive to our friends in Australia and Japan and elsewhere. So we're now, as the Prime Minister said, we're having to look elsewhere for the kind of alliances and agreements and understandings that we used to have with our nearest neighbor. If our nearest neighbor doesn't respect the rule of law for its citizens, how's it going to respect the rule of international law? And it certainly doesn't respect us as Canada. So we have no choice. We have to make decisions. And we're going to make decisions that benefit our region and our people first.

By the way, we've also heard stories of Canadians coming in, being lost in ICE detention centers for three months. I mean for three weeks, two to three weeks rather. And then I've reported as well of a lot of migrants who were here, lawfully asylum seekers from Venezuela, not gang members, no criminal history, not trend. Aragua. A gay hairstylist, a musician, a soccer coach. People like that who had like one person had like a autism awareness tattoo because their 15 year old like nephew had autism. One person had a Real Madrid tattoo. They were a soccer player. Whatever it was, they were put in concentration camps in El Salvador by the, by the Trump regime. But who's the Trump regime helping people like this? Nicola founder Trevor Milton is granted a full pardon after he gave $1.8 million to Donald Trump while he was on appeal. He's the founder of a bankrupt electric and hydrogen powered truck maker convicted of fraud. He was sentenced to four years in prison in 2023 after a jury found him guilty of lying to investors about the company's technology. By the way, his lawyer is Pam Bondi's brother. So he got, he got released, he got a full pardon, basically pay for play. It seems like you give Donald Trump 1.8 million and that's what you get. Also remember we reported how when Donald Trump was in the Bronx, he gave a speech where he brought up on stage rappers like Sleepy Hollow and Chef G. Remember that? Well, one of those rappers pled guilty to being basically a gang member and involved in attempted murder. When Trump brought him on stage, there was already the charge for attempted murder and terrorizing New York. But that's who Donald Trump. That's how Donald Trump who Donald Trump helps out, right? Donald Trump wanted to say, look, the black community supports because I have Sleepy Hollow and Chef G on stage. You see everybody, that is how Donald Trump and Mag think about things. And we have to call it out. We have to expose this terrible, terrible behavior. We'll call it out every day. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe let's get to 5 million subscribers.
