Introduction

In the episode titled "Trump NUKES his Entire Term Before IT STARTS," the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—provide a critical analysis of former President Donald Trump's actions and strategies during his post-presidency transition. Combining sharp political commentary with their signature brotherly banter, the hosts explore the potential ramifications of Trump's policies and alliances on American democracy.

Trump's Destructive Transition

Ben Meiselas kicks off the discussion by condemning Trump's transition efforts, labeling them as historically disastrous. He argues that Trump is undermining his own legacy by dismantling federal institutions.

Ben Meiselas [00:00]: "Donald Trump is clearly having the worst transition in presidential history. He is nuking himself because all he knows how to do is destroy."

He specifically critiques the creation of the "Doge" agency, co-led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, accusing it of targeting federal employees who provide essential services to the American public.

Ben Meiselas [00:30]: "They are bragging about firing millions of people who work for the federal government who do jobs that actually deliver services to we the people."

Efforts to Undermine Federal Services

Ben highlights Trump's plans to revoke citizenship documents for children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents, positioning this move as an attack on family values and birthright citizenship.

Ben Meiselas [02:07]: "Donald Trump plans to stop issuing citizenship affirming documents like passports and Social Security cards to infants born on domestic soil, to undocumented migrant parents and a bid to end birthright citizenship."

He cites Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, questioning the financial and ethical implications of mass deportations.

Ben Meiselas [02:07]: "What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it?"

Threats to Social Safety Nets

The episode shifts focus to the potential overhaul of essential social programs. Ben discusses how Trump allies are considering cutting Medicaid, food stamps, and other safety net programs to offset tax cuts for the wealthy.

Ben Meiselas [04:15]: "Republican leaders are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for billionaires."

He underscores the irony of dismantling programs that support working Americans while favoring affluent interests.

Allegations Against MAGA Figures

Ben delves into controversial allegations surrounding key MAGA figures, including Matt Gaetz. He accuses Gaetz of trafficking minors and criticizes Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting a pattern of unethical behavior within the MAGA movement.

Ben Meiselas [08:27]: "Matt Gaetz bringing the girls he trafficked to see Broadway plays and go to Foxes. Wow. Wow. That's who they're picking as our attorney general. Someone with credible allegations against him as a sex trafficker."

Media Criticism and Public Perception

The discussion critiques mainstream media's portrayal of Trump and the GOP, accusing them of biased reporting and infusing unnecessary drama into political discourse.

Ben Meiselas [10:00]: "Corporate media couldn't report accurately on the way the economy worked. Here's this drama you want in corporate media."

He references declining popularity metrics for Trump, highlighting his ranking as 44th out of 51 election candidates since 1824 and the GOP's potential for its smallest House majority.

Ben Meiselas [11:30]: "Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824."

Economic Concerns and Market Uncertainty

Ben discusses the economic implications of Trump's potential return to power, citing Citibank analyst Rob Rowe’s prediction of a recession driven by policy uncertainty. He links this to Trump's controversial appointment choices and questionable policy proposals.

Ben Meiselas [12:00]: "Rob Rowe is predicting a recession because the markets are shifting from political uncertainty to policy uncertainty."

Mockery of MAGA Surrogates in Media

The podcast touches on the trivialization of the MAGA movement in media, mocking how MAGA surrogates like Hulk Hogan perform gimmicky acts such as doing a "Trump dance" on shows like Laura Ingraham's.

Ben Meiselas [13:00]: "MAGA surrogates are represented by non-serious figures like Hulk Hogan, trivializing political discourse."

Conclusion

Ben wraps up the episode by reiterating the chaos he perceives in Trump's post-presidency actions, emphasizing the threat to democratic institutions and social stability. He calls on listeners to stay informed and support truthful, evidence-based reporting.

Ben Meiselas [15:00]: "This Trump administration is a mess. A mess. Despicable. Report the truth, tell people."

Transcript

[Ben Meiselas]

Donald Trump is clearly having the worst transition and I think presidential history. He is nuking himself because all he knows how to do is destroy. Just take a look at the fake agency, the make believe agency that he came up with, Doge, or I should say Elon Musk, his co president and Vivek Ramaswamy came up with, they are bragging about firing millions of people who work for the federal government who do jobs that actually deliver services to we the people. This is what Vivek Ramaswamy, MAGA Republican is bragging about today. He goes, I'm hearing via allies that federal government unions are scrambling to update their collective bargaining agreements to avoid getting fired. The prospect of being asked to return to the office five days a week like most working Americans apparently has them in tears. So for all of the unions or the union workers who are like, they, they got our back. No, they're actually literally mocking you right now. Also from a new New York Times piece, uh, Donald Trump plans to stop issuing citizenship affirming documents like passports and Social Security cards to infants born on domestic soil, to undocumented migrant parents and a bid to end birthright citizenship. So all of the people out there who were like, no, not my abuelita, no, they're not coming for us. There's some family values exception, no, they are coming for you. And Tom Homan, Donald Trump's border czar, went on the news and made his intentions very clear. Here's what Tom Homan said earlier today. Play this clip. We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million people a year. I don't know if that's accurate or not. Is that what American taxpayers should expect? What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it?

[Michael Cohen]

Is there a way to carry out.

[Ben Meiselas]

Mass deportation without separating families? Of course there is. Families can be deported together. This is what the Trump transition is spending their time doing. I think they want to attack every single American other than maybe their kind of core MAGA base, who, by the way, they're still attacking. But perhaps they're too delulu to realize that's what's going on. Here's the newest one. Here's from the New York Times. Trump allies, Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation. Republican leaders looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor. So in other words, in order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for billionaires, Trump advisors and congressional Republicans are now in discussions about cutting your Social Security, cutting your Medicaid, cutting food stamps, cutting other programs that Americans rely on so that the billionaires can get more benefits right here. Meanwhile, you have Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell signaling to others in the Senate that under no circumstances should they allow Donald Trump to have unfettered recess appointments, meaning RFK Jr. Matt Gates, Peter Hegseth, Christy Noem, all of these individuals need to go before the Senate and they need to be grilled. They need to be asked questions. Oh, but by the way, the type of questions Matt Gates should be asked. Well, what's in that ethics report? In addition, what we're learning is that Matt Gates apparently took the girls to Fox News to watch him. He would traffic them, According to sources ABC's reporting to watch him at Fox News. He brought them to the Broadway play Pretty Woman. The lawyer for the girls went on CNN and talked about how Matt Gates would use his purported adopted son Nestor's phone as a way to venmo the money to the girls that he was trafficking. Well, let's take a look here. By the way, a new report from ABC is that Trump has confirmed reports that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military. And use the military to enact his bloody mass deportation program. You mean exactly what we were reporting here on the Midas Touch Network that he was going to do. Wait a minute. For someone who claims he didn't know what Project 2025 plans were, he seems to be implementing each and every one of them as we said he was going to do. In terms of the complete cluster, you know what? That is MAGA as well, I kid you not. Right now, according to Pornhub, MAGA tops the charts in searches during the 2024 election. Specifically, MAGA supporters in Florida continue to search MAGA nudes. What the world there. What? In any event, also MAGA Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace say that they are going to be introducing new legislation that will ban trans women from Capitol bathrooms. And specifically, when they were asked how they intend to check out who is qualified to use the ladies room, they just spewed a bunch of anti trans rhetoric. Should also be noted as the K file at CNN reports Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 election since 1824. Four Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried compared to zero in 2016 and 2020. The GOP is poised for its smallest House majority since the US had 50 states. And you just take a look here, one of the smallest electoral victories ever. And Donald Trump just had. One of the top analysts at Citibank, Rob Rowe, talks about how he's predicting a recession because the markets are shifting from political uncertainty to policy uncertainty. Now why would the markets be shifting to policy uncertainty when you're naming people who may be compromised by Russia to be the Director of National Intelligence. And Tulsi Gabbard, a potential sex trafficker in Matt Gates, to be the attorney general. Someone by the name of Peter Hegseth, a Fox News weekend host who allegedly paid off a woman who accused him of sexual assault from 2017. A Fox News host with zero experience to become the Secretary of defense. Christie. No. A dog killer who killed her dog, Cricket. Who would have thought that the markets would think that there's uncertainty there? By the way, as Vladimir Putin continues to laugh at Donald Trump and show nudes of Melania on Russian state sponsored tv. Yeah, Donald Trump, who ran on a. Who said, I'm going to protect your women MAGA men. I'm going to, whether they like it or not, I'm protecting women. Has the Russian authoritarian leader is showing nudes of his own wife. I mean, first off, how pathetic can you be as a man to say, oh, I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife. That's what I need. I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife as Vladimir Putin, by the way, is showing nudes of Donald Trump's wife. I mean, you can't even make this stuff up, folks. Meanwhile, Fox has their top surrogates representing the MAGA movement. Who are the leaders? Are they renowned generals or top scientists or the top diplomats or oh no, it's Hulk Hogan and they go on Laura Ingraham. And Laura Ingraham's question is, can you do the Trump dance? Hulk, can you do the Donald Trump dance? Hulk Hulkamania. Here, play this clip. Can you do the Trump dance for us, please? I want to see you do it.

[Michael Cohen]

[Ben Meiselas]

And as I said before, the Washington Post is also reporting that President elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that his plan for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants will involve a national emergency declaration and the military. In other words, what Donald Trump's going to do is he's going to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies act and he's going to knock on door to door and find people. This is what their plan is. And take away Abelita, take away Tio and Tia, take away all your family members. They're going to do work site raids. So if you got family members who are undocumented who happen to be working and many are paying taxes and have been paying taxes, working in restaurants, working in the fields, working in theaters, working in construction and homes, working in real whatever it is, they're going to do work site raids and rip families apart. Rip them apart. We told you that was going to happen. Did we tell you it was going to happen? That's what Trump's saying is going to happen. By the way, if you're saying but Ben, you're going to do play the clip. Are you going to play that? I don't do that. Which as I said before, I'm not playing Trump clips I'm not playing his audio. I'm not. I don't want to hear his voice. I don't want to see him on video. So I'm not playing it. Okay, you can go back and watch other videos where I show the clips and he says those things. I'm not playing them here as well. So I mentioned this. Matt Gaetz bringing the girls he trafficked to see Broadway plays and go to Foxes. Wow. Wow. That's who they're. That's who they picked as our attorney general. Someone with credible allegations against him as a sex trafficker. But then again, Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault. Donald Trump was found live. Donald Trump's on Donald Trump. And was on tape partying with Epstein. He's all over Epstein's phone logs and plane logs. And there were Epstein tapes released before the election that the corporate media wouldn't bother playing before the election. Melania. Melania Trump. $99.99. Take a look right here. You can get your own shop now. Your Melania figurine right there. Wow. Oh, and now lots of MAGA people are in the fafo. Stage the F around and find out. Stage. Wait a minute. They're having these conversations on truth social. Wait, wait a minute. What? China doesn't pay the tariffs. We pay the tariffs. What? What's going on? Yeah, yeah, you pay the tariffs. We pay the tariffs, not China. Anyway, Sean Hannity had a whole segment as well as what he calls the DOGE cheat sheet. He says, we're just going to get rid of all the agencies. All of them. Just destroy them. We're going to get rid of everything. Here, play this clip.

[Michael Cohen]

An op ed in the Wall Street Journal recommended that they start by tossing the Federal Communications Commission, the ftc, the secular, the Department of Agriculture, the Postal Service. Yeah, give it to ups. Give it to, you know, give it. Give it to anybody except them. The Labor Department, hud, the Interior Department, the va. Yeah, vets need the money. Give it directly to them. And of course, the epa, just to name a few. Now keep in mind, the Department of Education is also very much on the cutting board.

[Ben Meiselas]

Speaking of the Doge Fake it make believe agency that Donald Trump just created, by the way, the Doge agency masquerades as a official government agency. On Twitter, they pretend that they're an official government. Just think about it. The small government parties creating fake government agencies to control our lives. Oh, man. Can't make this stuff up. But Elon Musk is having apparently massive blowups with Donald Trump's Other age. Boris Epstein at dinner, Epstein's yelling at Musk. But then of course, they go back to New York Post and the sources ever deny that that ever took place. Oh, and then Donald Trump's campaign is scrubbing social media posts where they said the following about RFK Jr. They just went through and they just attacked RFK Jr. Over. Now they're scrubbing all that because now they have to pretend they like RFK Jr. After Donald Trump said that RFK Jr. Would destroy the country. Now they have to pretend they like RFK Jr because they have no moral compass at all. So to corporate media out there, you like the drama? Is this the drama you wanted? Is this what you wanted to inflict on we the people? Because we the people, we just wanted to go about our lives with our family. We want our Social Security and our Medicare or the Medicaid. We want programs that work for us. We just want to go on with our life without your craziness and your drama. But no corporate media. You couldn't report on this. You had to. Both sides it. You couldn't give Biden credit where he deserved it. I'm fine for criticizing him, but you couldn't report accurately on the way the economy worked. Here's this the drama you want in corporate media. Joe Mika, not Joe Biden. Talk about Joe Scarborough now. Joe Scarborough. Mika, is you happy? You go to. Go to Mar A Lago right now and tell Donald Trump, tell Daddy Donald how you feel as he mocks you to your face. This is what you do. That's how you treat us. Joe Scarborough and Mika really like Morning Joe. Look, we're. Let me be very clear. Midas mighty. We're going to report all the news fearlessly, truthfully, evidence based. That's what we do here.
