23 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: How is Donald Trump's attack on Greenland perceived?

0.284 - 18.208 Ben Meiselas

All hell is breaking loose throughout the entire world as Donald Trump's attack on everyone is backfiring in his face. You have the premier of Greenland rebuking Donald Trump in public saying, don't you dare say you're bringing

18.188 - 44.044 Ben Meiselas

hospital ships to save our people we don't need to be saved from you in fact greenland saved a soldier who was in a united states nuclear submarine that was suspiciously cruising around greenland at the same time denmark's king was visiting and greenland's premier said get those boats the hell away from us and don't even think about bringing these boats around us lots of people in greenland

44.024 - 65.627 Ben Meiselas

I think that Donald Trump's claim that he's going to be bringing hospital ships to Greenland is like a Trojan horse for an invasion. Then there was a nuclear submarine off the coast of Greenland that they found out after some American soldier got very sick and almost died in the submarine. So it had to surface and the Greenlandic people saved the individual. I'll go through that in a moment also.

65.607 - 88.84 Ben Meiselas

You have the European Union Parliament saying, we're not going through with any trade deal with the United States right now after you just imposed another 15% tariff against the rest of the world under Section 122 of the United States Trade Act of 1974. Screw that. The United States Supreme Court struck down your unlawful tariffs against the world, and now you're doing this.

0

89.18 - 112.067 Ben Meiselas

We can't do any deals with you. Get the hell out of here. India's trade representatives also said, They canceled their trip that they were supposed to take to the United States. Also, you have Donald Trump's influencers out there saying, hey, guess what we did? The United States was responsible for killing El Mencho, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel.

112.047 - 132.338 Ben Meiselas

The United States, we did it in Mexico. And then Mexico had to respond and said, actually, we did it. Sure, there was bilateral communications with the United States, but Mexico says we did it in any event. Hell is breaking loose in Mexico right now, in Guadalajara, in Puerto Vallarta, where the cartels are going to war right now. in Mexico.

132.418 - 151.69 Ben Meiselas

And guess where the United States troops are after Donald Trump previously threatened to invade Mexico over cartels. Trump has his troops, about 50% of American forces right now are right around Iran as Donald Trump is threatening war with Iran. You also have the French embassy

151.67 - 175.091 Ben Meiselas

summoning Charles Kushner, who's the United States ambassador to France, after the United States Embassy in France put out a statement saying, it is our expectation that France will follow our mandates and crack down on leftist extremist groups. There was a murder of a far right-wing person there during a protest in France.

175.491 - 201.256 Ben Meiselas

And so this was how the United States responded, trying to interfere with French troops domestic politics to which in France, their government responded, we don't need you to tell us how we handle domestic politics. That's entirely inappropriate. Let's summon the felon, right? Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's dad is the ambassador to France. He is a felon who was pardoned by Donald Trump in 2020.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Trump's tariffs on international trade?

331.576 - 350.983 Ben Meiselas

How weak and pathetic does the United States look? And then you have the United States on the eve of a war with Iran, which I believe is also a wag the dog type moment for the Trump regime to cover up the fact that they're covering up a child sex trafficking ring and the Epstein files and everything we know there.

0

350.963 - 373.455 Ben Meiselas

And then you have Steve Witkoff giving an interview over this weekend saying, I'm just surprised that the Iranian Ayatollah has not capitulated yet with all of our military weapons off the coast of Iran with all of our ships and we have two aircraft carrier groups. Why haven't they given up? Well, they're called hardliners for a reason, number one.

0

373.916 - 393.518 Ben Meiselas

And number two, maybe they realize how weak you are and that they think that at the end of the day, you're not going to go to a full-fledged war against them. You just want to do a strike, declare total obliteration like you did last time, which is actually not the case, and then move on. You know how unpopular Donald Trump is?

0

393.578 - 408.072 Ben Meiselas

Now you do the most unpopular thing and you start a war in Iran, costing America thousands of lives in treasury. Yeah, we will see impeachments and getting Trump the hell out of there soon if he goes to war with Iran. And Iran realizes that.

0

408.052 - 433.283 Ben Meiselas

He realizes that Donald Trump at his core is a weak and pathetic and broken individual and that Trump just wants a quick strike, quick strike so he can say, look what I did everybody. There's no plan. I mean, if you're looking at Hegseth and Kash Patel and Trump and Noam and this whole entire despicable weak regime, what do you think Iran is actually, they're afraid of our weapons,

433.263 - 453.224 Ben Meiselas

But the people who hold those weapons right now are fairly weak and pathetic and so they can't bluff their way out of this one right here. Look, I think the Ayatollah is not legitimate. I hate what the Iranian Ayatollahs do. I stand strongly and proudly with the people of Iran who want democracy, but Donald Trump betrayed them.

453.604 - 476.82 Ben Meiselas

Remember when he said, go out on the street, protest against the Ayatollah. If the Ayatollah kills one of you, I've got your back. Now in some statements, Donald Trump claims that the Ayatollah massacred as many as 32,000. That's a number that comes from Trump and the White House. We knew it was in the thousands, potentially tens of thousands, but Trump directly caused the massacre of thousands

476.8 - 501.762 Ben Meiselas

30 plus thousand Iranians who he told to protest and said he got their back and they started protesting and the Ayatollah started massacring and Donald Trump didn't even have our military position to help the protesters because our military was off the coast of Venezuela where we invaded and then Donald Trump stole the oil money there and put it in a Qatari bank account

501.742 - 523.303 Ben Meiselas

where he's using it for himself, not controlled by the treasury. Trump controls a Qatari bank account where he sells oil from Venezuela to his right-wing oligarch buds. They take the oil, they buy the oil and then Donald Trump takes the money and he puts it in his Qatari bank account. And by the way, they're like, the Trump regime like brags, like, look at all this money we've got.

Chapter 3: How did Mexico respond to the killing of cartel leader El Mencho?

606.232 - 631.454 Ben Meiselas

at the Midas Touch Network. So let's take a look. You have Jeff Landry, who's Donald Trump's envoy to Greenland. He repost Donald Trump's post saying, working with the fantastic governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick and not being taken care of there. It's on the way, DJT.

0

632.075 - 655.88 Ben Meiselas

As this community note says, Greenland provides universal healthcare. In 2026, Denmark allocated $253 million for further health upgrades. Nuke and Danish officials deny that there's any health crisis at all. Also, the Mercy, and the other hospital ships are currently in maintenance in Alabama, and they cannot be on the way. Just a weird lie.

0

656.26 - 676.907 Ben Meiselas

But also, these are the types of lies that Putin talks about with respect to Ukraine. Putin's like, Russia needs to take over this land because Ukraine is not providing the hospitals and healthcare services for its people. That's what these demented authoritarians, they make up pretexts in order to do invasions. They just need to have a hook

0

676.887 - 695.368 Ben Meiselas

And then once they come up with a BS hook, they just repeat it over and over and over and over and over again. And with the repetition and the big lie, it is a brainwashing strategy that authoritarians use. Throughout history, they've used such a strategy. Then Jeff Landry responds again to the same post.

0

695.348 - 716.458 Ben Meiselas

I want to thank all the doctors, nurses, and medical providers who have reached out, interested in donating medical services for this mission. Once we get everything in place, we would love to welcome all those interested in helping. This is what American First Charity looks like. Thank you, Mr. President. American First Charity, Greenland, Denmark, the EU, They don't want this.

716.538 - 717.539 Ben Meiselas

They don't need this.

Chapter 4: What is the current state of U.S. military presence in Iran?

717.84 - 741.694 Ben Meiselas

And here in America, in Louisiana in particular, but throughout the United States as well, people's healthcare has been ripped away. People in the United States die in the tens of thousands and millions because healthcare is not a human right in the United States under the Trump regime. and under past administrations either who have tried to make it. Healthcare needs to be a human right.

0

741.714 - 761.297 Ben Meiselas

We don't have universal healthcare in the United States. We need it. And instead, Donald Trump takes away people's Affordable Care Act subsidies with MAGA sycophants so that people have all gotten kicked off their healthcare. Then they're kicking people off. If you're on Medicaid, you get kicked off too. They timed it so it's after the midterms, but you lose your Medicaid after the midterms.

0

761.617 - 766.243 Ben Meiselas

The same way most people have lost their Affordable Care Act plans who can't afford the subsidies.

766.223 - 784.148 Unknown

We're a year into the new administration and it's getting harder to read the news and see the continued attacks on our First Amendment freedoms daily. Now is the time to look for helpers, those who are strategically fighting day in and day out to preserve our constitutional freedoms. One of the orgs fighting the good fight is Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

784.128 - 805.478 Unknown

Their mission is to protect everyone's right to live as they are and believe as they choose, so long as they don't harm others. AU is fighting back against the wave of Christian nationalist threats happening across the country. They filed 11 lawsuits last year alone, multiple against the Trump administration, to protect your individual freedom of and from religion.

805.458 - 828.489 Unknown

Whether you support public education, are passionate about LGBTQ plus and reproductive rights, or some combination of all, AU relies on the help of its supporters to do this important work. If you're looking for an organization to support and learn from, head to au.org slash Midas to see how you can get involved in their work and support the fight against Christian nationalism.

828.93 - 832.174 Unknown

That's au.org slash Midas.

832.154 - 852.169 Ben Meiselas

So here is the statement from the premier of Greenland, Johns Frederick Nielsen. This is what he posted on Facebook in response to everything the Trump regime is doing. It will be a no thank you from here. President Trump's idea of sending an American hospital ship to Greenland has been noted. However, we have a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens.

852.51 - 872.376 Ben Meiselas

That is a deliberate choice and a fundamental part of our society. This is not the case in the United States. We're seeing a doctor comes at a cost. We are always open to dialogue and cooperation, including with the United States, but please speak with us instead of making more or less random statements on social media, thumbs up emoji.

Chapter 5: How is Europe reacting to U.S. defense procurement policies?

1322.435 - 1348.296 Steve Witkoff

But it's curious. He's curious as to why they haven't. I don't want to use the word capitulated, but why they haven't capitulated. Why under this sort of pressure with the amount of sea power, naval power that we have over there, why they haven't come to us and said, we profess that we don't want a weapon, so here's what we're prepared to do. And yet it's hard to sort of get them to that place.

1348.276 - 1365.255 Ben Meiselas

And finally, here's what French President Emmanuel Macron has to say about the Supreme Court. And this is how Europe feels about the United States. So he has to explain to us. Supreme courts are good. The rule of law is good. Here, play this clip.

0

1365.488 - 1387.627 Emmanuel Macron

It seems quite good to have Supreme Courts, and that's a rule of law. All those who think Supreme Courts are problems in political life, well, a Supreme Court reviewed the Constitution and says it's not conforming to the Constitution. Then everyone says, that's wonderful. Yes, it's good to have checks and balances in democracies. We should certainly welcome that development. All right.

0

1387.947 - 1404.986 Emmanuel Macron

Then we must not move too quickly either, because I note that President Trump just a few hours ago mentioned he had revived some old text to implement new tariffs, but these would be more limited in scope and apply to everyone. So we will need to carefully examine this. We will look precisely at all the consequences, what exactly can be done, and then we will adapt accordingly.

0

1405.326 - 1407.229 Emmanuel Macron

Ultimately, what is it that we truly desire?
