Episode summary

Ben Meiselas argues that Donald Trump is growing increasingly desperate as the midterm elections approach, pointing to late-night social media posts, rally speeches, and claims about surface-to-air missile systems at Mar-a-Lago. The episode covers a federal judge's ruling against Justice Department letters pressuring election officials, Democratic last-minute spending in Republican-leaning House districts, and reports of US military casualties in the Iran conflict that the host says were under-reported.

It also discusses a reported deportation deal with Cameroon and the deportation of Afghan immigrants. Listeners get the host's perspective on these developments, though many of his claims are presented without independent confirmation.

00:00:00

Donald Trump's reckoning is days away and he is not handling it well. At around 12:30 AM, here's what he was posting. The worst defeat of Ali. So crazy. Ali versus Frazier. And then Donald Trump posted videos of the fight of Ali versus Frazier. And then he posted it again. And then he posted it again. And then he was posting videos of the United States military, uh, bombing things. That's what he was posting at 12:30 AM. Should be noted that earlier in the day, here's what he posted. It was some weird cartoon of former President Obama because Donald Trump's just haunted by Obama just mocking the crap out of him and actually filling up arenas. And so it's a cartoon of Obama speaking to cartoon Jesus, and Obama says, Trump is reversing all of my policies. Then cartoon Jesus says, you reversed all of mine. Which is why I sent Trump. By the way, when Trump gives these deranged speeches where he talks about men's asses all the time, like that's what he was talking about. And also like last night, he was talking about how his eye hurt and he had to get a, like a towel to wipe his eye because he couldn't see.

00:01:16

It's like, don't worry, I'm in perfect health. He comes out to this song that says, God chose Trump. God chose Trump. It is so fricking deranged, by the way, you know, and then you have, uh, Donald Trump saying, do you mind if I I just dip this towel in some water? I really can't see right now. Here, play this clip.

00:01:36

They go crazy. Do you mind? I got a little dig in my eye. Watch this. Ah, that's so much better. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's like I wish I had little eye drops. But if I did this, I am seriously ill. There's something wrong with Trump.

00:02:04

Now, as Donald Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago, he has now surrounded it with surface-to-air missile systems. Also, when Donald Trump goes golfing, he has these surface-to-air missile systems follow him as he's terrified that he's going to be assassinated, that Iran's going to send drones to get him. Netanyahu tells him, they're going to get you, they're going to get you, they're going to get you, Donald. Netanyahu knows just the know, how to rile Donald Trump up. And from, by all reports, MSNOW and others, uh, the Trump and Netanyahu regimes are planning to escalate in Iran right after the November 3rd elections, as early as November 4th. But take a look at these surface-to-air missile systems deployed at Mar-a-Lago and at the airport in Palm Beach. NORAD and US Northern Command said the deployment came at the Secret Service request. They've got these Avenger systems over there. And so while While Donald Trump has surrounded Mar-a-Lago with surface-to-air missiles, he sent out Treasury Secretary Bessent to say Iran's currency has collapsed. They don't even know what to do there anymore. They're just days away from— how many times are y'all going to say this? You've said the war was going to end in 4 to 6 weeks.

00:03:21

Then you said there was a deal. There's a deal. It's 2 weeks. It's 2 weeks away. It's 2 weeks away. Well, we're basically 9 months into this catastrophic war. Diesel and gas prices are at record high. Electricity prices are record high. You have, um, the price of groceries are at record high. Now you have the Trump regime trying to use Lithuania to attack the European Union sanctions on Belarusian potash because the Trump regime's trying to further help Putin as Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, is in the United States as the diesel shipments from Russia are not impacting the price of diesel at all. Because like I said, it makes no difference. But you have— you hear what Treasury Secretary Bessent has to say. as I played that, right?

00:04:04

That you said the currency's collapsed. It's collapsed so much that you can be arrested for printing the level of the currency. So, uh, you know, I— it may be through 3 million riyals.

00:04:17

Um, all right, then let me show you what else is going on. Uh, the Trump regime now terrified about what's about to happen in the midterm elections. Trump is going state to state sending these types of letters. Multiple secretary of states confirming to Liz Landers and others that they received letters from the Department of Justice in the last day, reminding them to preserve their election records, which by the way, is already required by law for 22 months and threatening them with prison or a fine if they don't comply. Late last night, federal judge Trina Thompson ordered the Department of Justice in California to stop threatening election officials with criminal prosecution. to officially retract previous threats, report to her all pending search warrant applications, grand jury subpoenas related to ineligible voters. So you had a federal judge enjoining the Trump regime's threats against states, and this arose in a case out of the Northern District of California. And so let me just read to you just briefly what this federal judge wrote late last night. One of the hallmarks of a fair election is the freedom to exercise the right to vote free from threat, fear, or intimidation.

00:05:33

Free exercise of the right to vote is a core tenet of our democracy. It requires safeguarding to ensure full participation and public trust in our elections. Election Day is around the corner. Ballots have already been issued. Americans have already begun voting. Workers have already begun processing ballots. Given the consequences of inaction, the court sees no reason to delay the ruling. Pending before the court is plaintiff Service Employees International Union, AFL-CIO's motion for a temporary restraining order. Plaintiffs request the court enjoin Block defendants, Department of Justice Attorney General Blanche, Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, and others from carrying out a series of efforts to actually or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce election workers who aid others in exercising the free right to vote. Plaintiffs allege intimidation in violation of the Voting Rights Act and other violations. For the reasons stated below, the court grants plaintiff's motion and enjoins the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security and orders them to retract their threats. And then we also heard late from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which refused to hear an en banc case involving Trump's appeal of federal courts blocking the Trump regime from interfering with the election.

00:06:56

And, uh, you take a look at what's happening in this election as well. Some of the latest data shows that Democrats are feeling, are feeling very bullish in deep red states. An enormous last-minute spend by House Democrats in deep red states. In a Trump +18 district, Florida's 9th, Democrats just put $2.5 million there. In Florida's 27th, Democrats put $1.7 million. That's a Trump +15. In a Trump +12 district, Florida's 7th, Democrats just put $1.5 million in that election over there. In New York's 21st, which was a Trump +21 district, Democrats just put $1.5 million there. In a Trump +13 in Nebraska, uh, Democrats just put $1.4 million. As, uh, this one account says, this is tsunami time, folks. This is a massive spend, last minute Democrats feeling very confident. Anything that's above a +13 or even a +20 Trump district, Democrats are confident that they can flip right now. And Republicans are preparing for what's being called Southern Armageddon. The GOP is trying to pour millions of dollars into deep red seats, the deepest and the reddest areas, in order to try to save any remaining seats. But folks, this is shaping up to be a massive wipeout.

00:08:27

But don't worry, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, says that we need to be focused on Donald Trump's major accomplishments. State regime media says that Donald Trump is taking a major victory lap. Over what, you might ask? Well, let me tell you. Trump is taking a major victory lap after a new study claims that paper straws are worse for the environment than their plastic counterparts. Trump is spiking the football. He's declaring this a massive win. Well, what's interesting to me, what wasn't reported on state regime media Fox, or frankly any other corporate news, I tend to think this is a pretty big freaking story right here. AirandSpaceForces.com reports 2 US Air Force airmen supporting the Trump regime's catastrophic war in Iran died last month. And that wasn't reported until just yesterday. The Trump regime didn't make any announcements about these deaths. They just changed the number on their non-combat death list. Not Epic Fury, just non-combat death list added 2 US Air Force airmen. No statements by Hegseth, no statements by the Trump regime at all. This actually— and they said that's not killed in action, not combat, because they say we're not in war anymore.

00:09:44

At least 23 US service members have died. I believe the number's higher. At least 900 have been injured. I believe the number's about 5 to 6 times that. I think it's actually actually closer to 3,000 to 5,000 suffering from traumatic brain injury as well. I think that's what will ultimately be uncovered, but that's what you have going on there. And meanwhile, you have Donald Trump cutting deals, not just with Russia and Belarus, but also with the country of Cameroon, specifically a Cameroonian unit accused of war crimes. You may be saying, Ben, this group called the Rapid Intervention Battalion, a Cameroonian group which lost US assistance before Over allegations of torture and other serious human rights abuse. What kind of deal is Donald Trump making with them right now? Well, the Trump regime says, we'll give you $35 million in military aid if you accept 36 deportees. The Trump regime deporting 36 immigrants that have no connection to Cameroon, to the Cameroonian torture unit, so that these immigrants will die. Trump sending these immigrants off to their death to this Cameroonian Union. And it's not just that. Also, over 100 Afghan immigrants who were here in the United States with family members who helped the United States in the war against the Taliban, they're being sent back to Afghanistan to also be killed by the Taliban.

00:11:12

The Trump regime is now deporting, um, over 100 Afghan immigrants. Many who have connections with Afghan people here who are, um, who have helped the United States in the war against the Taliban. They're being sent back to Afghanistan to be killed by the Taliban. The Trump regime giving them the death sentence. And that's taking place right now. But folks, Donald Trump is posting, uh, videos of himself, videos of Frazier and Ali and that fight. And that's what their main focus is on right now while he talks about John Eustace's ass and cognitive exams. And they want to distract you from everything. They want to distract you from the catastrophic war, which they're likely going to escalate after the midterms, or the fact that they are now requiring our service members to practice building mass graves, uh, in connection with catastrophic escalation. I've been doing a lot of reporting on these The mass graves that are being practiced to be built, that Trump has all of these systems around Mar-a-Lago. And I'll do another video on it today. There's a doomsday plan that the Trump regime is demanding the military implement, that basically if all of the power grids, if everything goes out, that the military will be able to sustain itself for 90 days.

Advertisement00:12:32

That's what's being planned by this despicable and disgusting Trump. Regime. And you wonder why there's going to be a blue tsunami in the House and the Senate with this freaking sicko, sex predator, war criminal, uh, just all bankrupt freaking loser, uh, in the Oval Office.
