12 month plan taxes and fees. Extra speeds may slow after 50 gigabytes per month when network is busy. See terms. Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown on social media last night. He made hundreds of posts, post after post, each one more insane than the next. Let me just show you what he was doing. Then earlier in the day, he sent his FBI agents and his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard and her team to raid the Fulton county election office and take the 2020 ballots. Let me just show you what Donald Trump was doing all Day yesterday, here's what he was posting. He accused former President Obama of treason in social media. Post, donald Trump goes treason. Trump stuns reporters declaring, Barack Obama will face justice for treason. Donald Trump then posts that the 2020 election was stolen and that the CIA developed tools like hammer and scorecard and China coordinated the entire operation with the CIA that oversaw it, and then the FBI covered it to install Biden as a puppet. So what the President of the United States is posting. Individual is utterly demented. Then he again accuses Alex Pretty, who his gestapo murdered, of being a domestic terrorist. Last night, Donald Trump posted that Pretty is a domestic terrorist. He reposted this account, Dave in the desert, saying this wasn't some peaceful protester. He referring to Alex Pretty was a domestic terrorist. And we've learned that Alex Pretty's family has hired a lawyer. And I hope the lawyer sues the Trump regime into oblivion for what they are doing. Remember, all the people were like, oh, this is a change of tone by Donald. But two days ago, it's a change of tone. He's bringing Tom Homan in. And I said, that's not a change of tone. Donald Trump is a deranged, demented, cognitively impaired lunatic.
D
And.
A
And this is how he behaves, okay? He's a psychopath. And he'll say, on the one hand, oh, I spoke to Governor Walz and we had a very respectful conversation. Then he'll make social media posts, like, a hundred of them. I'm not making these, like, hundreds of social media posts saying that Tim Walls hides as fraud is exposed. And then he posts, you know, I don't like cursing on this channel, but I'm repeating for just a news coverage purpose what Donald Trump's posted. So while Donald Trump's going post, post, post, post, post, post, post, and saying these deranged things and calling Alex Pretty a domestic terrorist and attacking Governor Walls. Then Donald Trump goes, maybe it's time to shut the fuck up and let him cook. Maybe it's time to shut the fuck up and let him cook. The President of the United States is posting this. And again, take a step back. Do we realize how utterly deranged and demented this is? Then yesterday, Donald Trump had Dr. Oz launch operations in Los Angeles, attacking the Armenian community in Los Angeles the way they're attacking the Somalian community in Minnesota. And Dr. Oz went to, like, a popular Armenian bakery, and Dr. Oz said, this is where the fraud is committed. This is where the Russian Armenia mob is engaged in their crimes. This is. And just saying in a Very racist way. Basically, that all Armenians are involved in fraud was basically Dr. Osborne, look at their dialect. He says this is the dialect of mobsters and mafia. And the history here is you should go and look at it. Because the Armenian community, when Dr. Oz was running for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania and, and when he was getting this job, you know, we're basically saying that Dr. Oz was in this, was accusing him of being like an agent of Turkey, which Oz denied. And when Oz is out here saying these horrible things about the Armenian community, I mean, you saw what he was doing. They're doing the same playbook over and over again that they did with Somalian people and Donald Trump's regurgitating it. So for anyone in the Armenian community who supported Donald Trump, Are you watching what he's doing? And now. And by the way, I stand in solidarity with the Armenian community here in California. As a lawyer, I work closely with a lot of great Armenian people. And this pisses me off. It all pisses me off. But it's just horrific because this is what he's eventually going to come for. You is the point. First he comes for this group, then he comes for. They're coming for you. So stand up and resist this fascist regime. Donald Trump goes, and now more fraud in California. Dr. Oz is finding this and the fraud being controlled by Russian mobsters. Arrests need to happen in the Oval Office. Above the photo of Donald Trump and his grandkid is a photo of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. You forfeit the right to accuse others of being in the Russian mob when you are a Russian bootlicker, when you are literally, what you have Putin's photo above the photo of your grandchild. Here, look at this photo right here. Then Donald Trump goes. Probably close to 89% of Somalians are engaged in welfare fraud in Minnesota. The hell are you talking about? Just racist, heinous stuff. No wonder the world is taking the idea of boycotting the World cup in the United States very, very seriously. At I reported on it two months ago that a boycott was coming to the FIFA World cup and people like, ah, Ben, you're being hyperbolic there. Ben, you're being hyperbolic. Really? Was I being hyperbolic back in the 2024 elections when I specifically warned that Trump was going to have a paramilitary force? He said, the enemy from within, he's going to attack America's. Was I being hyperbolic or was I accurately describing what was going to happen? And I think there's going to be a boycott of the World cup and rightfully so who the hell wants to come here to have ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo brutalize you? Here's what Governor Walls had to say yesterday during an interview that he gave. And he said when Donald Trump called him, he said, Donald Trump compared the invasion of Minnesota and Minneapolis like the invasion of Venezuela. Here, play this clip.
E
What else did he say to you other than saying one door together? I mean, what did he tell you about. What'd you talk about?
C
He told me that he doesn't understand what's wrong with Minnesota. I don't know what's wrong with you people. I said, nothing's wrong with Mr. President. We're. We're one of the most effective states and one of the best places to live. And he told me that, well, look, Tim, we did this in New Orleans, we did it in Louisville. There's no problems. And I said, you didn't kill anybody in Louisville or New Orleans. And the operation here looks very different from that. And, and then he told me it was successful in Venezuela.
E
He talked to you about Venezuela?
C
He did. He did. I'm not sure what gave him the indication that at this point in time, what's happening to my state that I'm interested in Venezuela, but he told me how well that went, which really was strange to me was he saw an operation in Venezuela against a foreign nation in the same context, he saw an operation against a US State and a US City.

Now, yesterday, as I mentioned earlier in this video, the Fulton county elections office was raided. Greg Bluestein, top reporter out there in the Fulton county area, said that I'm at the site of Fulton county election offices where FBI officials confirmed they are conducting court authorized activity, but declined further comment. For now, Trump has repeatedly threatened to open an investigation into his 2020 defeat in Georgia. Reached by phone, Fulton County Clerk's chief said that a large number of federal agents were retrieving boxes of ballots from the warehouse where they were stored. The FBI agen are here to get the 2020 ballots. They're all here with trucks and everything. You see the FBI officials arriving at the Fulton county election site as Trump wants to claim the 2020 election was stolen. Despite every federal court disagreeing and despite the fact that Donald Trump lost by millions and millions and millions of votes across the country. Fulton County Commission Chair Rob Pitts said he was confident the ballots were safe and secure in the county's facility before it was just raided by Trump's Gestapo. Now he's worried about what happen under federal custody after the FBI raid. Bluestein reports this was the Statement from the Fulton County Commission chair. We don't know where the ballots are being taken. We don't know what's going to happen to them. So we can no longer satisfy the citizens of Atlanta or the citizens of the world that these ballots are still secure. We did our job. We complied with the law. The 2020 election was fair. They were open. Every legal vote was counted. And we will continue to comply with the law. Now, with all of Donald Trump's behavioral behavior and tactics right now, his poll numbers are an absolute disaster. This is State Regime Media, which calls itself Fox, saying how people are not feeling good about this economy. This is how it's being reported on Fox. Play this clip.
D
Yeah. One quick one on the U.S. economy. We hear from the administration about the growth and the potential growth in Q1, Q2 and what they see on the horizon. We asked, are you better off financially than a year ago? Better 24% worse 39% same 36%. It is what we've talked about numerous times about feeling where the economy is and what that means for people at home.
E
Yeah.
B
As we look ahead to the midterms, Brett, people are going to be judging this election and the president's continuing standing on the basis of how well they feel the economy is going. There are signs, and some experts say that, that we're going to have a booming economy this coming year or this rest of this year. And certainly the administration certainly needs that, because while the stock market is high and employment is relatively high, people do not feel good about this economy. This poll suggests that. And they haven't for some time. And it's not so far getting any better for them, which would be very dangerous for the Republicans in the midterm elections.
A
And also state regime media, which calls itself Fox, had to say this about Donald Trump's invasion of cities and towns across the country. Play this clip.
D
ICE efforts to deport illegal immigrants. If we ask folks out there, too aggressive. 59% not aggressive enough. 17 about right. 24%. That tracks with other polls that we've seen in recent days surrounding a lot of this video that obviously has come out. And there's all kinds of people weighing in on all sides.
B
Yeah, Brett, I think that's right. It does track with the other polls. And it suggests that while the administration is within its limits, its legal limits in this immigration crackdown and the dragnet that's going on, particularly out in Minnesota, it has hit its political limits. And the republic's response to what it is seeing on its TV screens and reading about in publications and so forth, suggests that people, you know, they want the border closed, they want criminal illegals rounded up. But they see these scenes in the street, particularly the two killings in Minnesota, and they see people who seem otherwise innocent, although they may be here illegally rounded up. They don't like that we have a compassionate people and even the illegal immigrants are not beyond the scope of that compassion. And I think the administration is being seen as having gone too far on this. And the poll certainly suggests that.
A
Now contrast that or compare it to what was happening on CNN where Harry Enton went through polling as well, showing that among Latinos, Donald Trump has, Donald Trump's approval has absolutely plummeted, which spells disaster for the midterms. And we talked about here how Ileana Garcia, who led Latinos for Trump, saying she's no longer with him and that Trump's going to lose the midterms. Play this clip.
F
I'll give you a baseline and I'll just say there has been a massive backlash against the president United States among Latino voters because what are we talking about here? Well, let's just take a look at Trump's net approval rating among Latinos. You know, you go back a year ago, right at the beginning of his first term wasn't too bad, right? About five points underwater. A lot of Republicans would really like that. But take a look where we are today, over a 20 point decline now down to negative 28 points. Donald Trump's net approval rating among Latinos, a much larger drop we've seen among Latinos than we have seen among the American electorate overall.
G
What about the deportation program, though?
F
Yeah. Okay. So what is causing this? Right? There have been a lot of things in which the American people dislike Donald Trump more than they did a year ago. But among Latinos, they really, really, really.
A
What's driving that?
F
That is a big, big driver of what's going on here. Trump's net approval rating among Latinos on his deportation program. Look at this. You go back a year ago according to the CBS News. You got Paul, he was right at even right as many people approved as disapproved. Again, that's really good numbers for Republican among Latinos. But look at where we are now, 34 points underwater. There has been an over 30 point shift away away from Donald Trump among Latinos on his deportation program. What we have seen among Latinos is a drop overall, much of which is being driven by how they are viewing his deportation. I saw one of the founders for Latinos for Trump the other day say immigration is going to cost Republicans during the midterm elections. And when you look at numbers like this, you have to say, hey, she's coming from the numbers. Because the numbers agree with that. Latinos do not like what Donald Trump is doing on his deportation program and it is driving his overall numbers down. Look at this. I mean, you rarely ever see a 35 point decline over a year, but it's happening with Trump among Latinos on his deportation program. No, no, no, is what the Latino community is saying.
A
But I'll tell you who was with Donald Trump and what highlighting yesterday. Was he highlighting making things more affordable? No. Was he highlighting housing crisis? No. Was he highlighting, you know, healthcare? No. I mean, the fact that they're ripping away healthcare? No. He had Nicki Minaj at an event and Nicki Minaj received Donald Trump's gold card, which grants her US Residency because she was undocumented. Basically, she didn't have the appropriate status and she got a gold card, okay? That's what the priorities are. Gold card for Nicki Minaj because she expressed her love for Donald Trump. And then Trump said the following about Nicki Minaj and her nails. Play this clip.
D
Nikki, come on up.
C
Come on.
D
She's been such a great supporter and a great supporter of Trump accounts. And I said, I am going to let my nails grow because I love those nails. I'm gonna. I'm gonna let those nails grow. She's so good. She's been. She's been maga. What can I say? She's been with us all the way. Right, Alex? She's been with us all the way. Just want to thank her and I'll.
A
Just show you what's going on in MAGA world right now, what these right wing podcasters are saying about Trump and his despicable regime. Andrew Schultz, one of the right wing pod bros, one of the right wing pod bros who is very supportive of Trump in the 2024 election. Here's what he had to say. Let's play this clip.
G
If you see it with your own eyes, you know exactly what happened. And there's something disgusting that's happening not only in Minneapolis, I'm sure it's happening in other parts of the United States where it's ICE is under the guise of security, right? Under the guise of safety. Because that's what they're doing, right? Is every time something horrific happens, they keep going. But look at the pedophiles we got. Look at the murderers we got. Look at all the violent criminals you got. I looked at the numbers 5% of the people they deported are violent criminals.
A
Yes. There's probably more pedophiles in the Oval Office.
G
If you bring up another fucking pedophile about deporting and you're not releasing the Epstein list. Just shut the fuck up, all of you. Yes, I don't want to hear anything else about, oh, we got to deport the pedophiles. They're right here.
F
Yeah, they're right here.
G
They're a list of them and you're not exposing it.
A
Yeah. I just want to stress right now, as Julian Sanchez says, how completely bizarre and unheard of it is for the Director of National Intelligence to be personally present for a search warrant execution. And you have US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaking on the phone. Like, look at her. Like Inspector Gadget right here. Standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton county election Hub and Operations center after the FBI executed a search warrant. How pathetic? How pathetic is this regime?

Date: January 29, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
In this explosive episode, the Meiselas brothers break down Donald Trump’s frenetic social media meltdown and increasingly alarming behavior, arguing for the urgent necessity of invoking the 25th Amendment. They dissect Trump’s hundreds of unhinged social posts, the regime's racist tactics, disturbing raids on election offices, plummeting poll numbers, and deeply concerning impacts on US democracy. The episode is infused with the signature Meidas brother banter, legal insights, and impassioned calls to resist authoritarianism.

Fox News Polls:
Economic pessimism is widespread, even as regime media (Fox) tries to bolster Trump.
Polls on immigration reveal the public thinks the administration’s tactics have become “too aggressive,” especially after recent tragic incidents in Minnesota.
CNN Segment on Latino Support:
Trump’s net approval among Latinos has plummeted more than 20 points, with an additional 34-point drop due to the mass deportation program.
Even former Latino supporters/leaders are abandoning Trump, forecasting GOP disaster in the upcoming midterms.
Timestamp: [16:16] – [17:36]
Timestamp: [17:36] – [18:40]
Andrew Schultz, previously a Trump supporter, voices disgust with the extremity and hypocrisy of the Trump regime’s ICE dragnet.
Ben and co. echo how surreal it is to have the Director of National Intelligence physically present at a ballot seizure, likening it to Inspector Gadget stunts and further highlighting regime absurdity.
The episode is urgent, sharp, and deeply alarmed. The Meiselas brothers pull no punches, painting a portrait of a presidency gone off the rails—mixing legal expertise with righteous indignation and dark humor. They warn that unchecked authoritarian stunts and divisive racism pose an existential threat to democracy, evidenced by both policy and optics.
Final message: The episode ends with calls to action: resist, stay informed, and recognize the deeply abnormal behaviors of this regime—before it’s too late.
