Chapter 1: What shocking admission did Trump's DOJ make about the secret bunker?

0.031 - 21.64

Once upon a time, there was a good shepherd who roamed the taiga meadow for the delicious Christmas dinner for all the inhabitants of the forest. If there was any kind of delicacy to be offered, it was rosole, silakka, kinkku, boxes, engraved bones and... Jaha. Joo, tämähän ei ollutkaan joulusatu. Tämähän olikin ostoslista. Ja se on pitkä.

No, onneksi kaikki ainekset herkulliseen jouluun saat. S-Marketista. Joulu on ruokaa. S-Market. This is about the secret bunker underneath the White House.

55.866 - 81.553 Ben Meiselas

When the East Wing of the White House was demolished by Donald Trump, talked about building the golden ballroom. Remember what we said on the Midas Touch Network? It had much more to do with the secret bunker underneath the White House than building a golden ballroom. And we were accused of being conspiratorial. We were accused of going down rabbit holes.

82.034 - 116.218 Ben Meiselas

But now Trump's own DOJ, in a court argument before federal judge Leon, in a federal court proceeding yesterday. They said that they can't stop their construction of Trump's golden ballroom because of national security reasons. The Trump DOJ said, judge, we can't talk about this publicly. We can potentially brief you in private, but this is a national security matter.

116.384 - 145.309 Ben Meiselas

The golden ballroom is a national security matter. That's what Trump's DOJ is saying. Do you remember when Donald Trump let it slip and Susie Wiles, well, she's been in the news a lot lately, Trump's chief of staff, and Pete Hegseth were looking like, oh man, did he just say that? Where Donald Trump said that the military was involved. in the construction of his golden ballroom?

146.311 - 162.031 Ben Meiselas

Why would the military be involved in the construction of the golden ballroom if you claim that your rich friends and you yourself, Donald, are paying for the golden ballroom? That was suspicious. That raised red flags.

Chapter 2: How does the construction of the golden ballroom relate to national security?

162.051 - 193.515 Ben Meiselas

And at the Midas Touch Network over a month ago, we did a deep dive investigative piece where we said this entire ordeal is about Donald Trump wanting to redo the underground bunker that was first built by FDR. during World War II, and it has since been reinforced to deal with potential nuclear attacks, but that Donald Trump wanted to reinforce it due to his paranoia.

193.836 - 223.155 Ben Meiselas

Remember, we gave you the historical analogs. Adolf Hitler and building his golden ballroom. Turns out the real reason for it was that he wanted to build the bunker for himself. And folks, this is what Trump's DOJ argued, that this is a national security issue. Go back and watch the video I did a month ago. Secret bunker exposed underneath the ballroom. Trump builds secret bunker.

underneath the ballroom. And do you remember when Donald Trump was also talking about how there was donors who were giving $130 million to the military, or one donor was giving $130 million to the military?

0

238.576 - 259.98 Ben Meiselas

One of the things I flagged is I wonder if that was going to help Donald Trump build his bunker, and if that's how Donald Trump went from saying that the Golden Ballroom was $200 million to now saying that it's $400 million. It was $200 million to $300 million, and now it's $400 million. Let me just, again, break this all down for you, but a reminder.

Make sure you hit subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. We are months ahead of these stories. We have great sourcing. We do fearless reporting, and you know we're under attack by the Trump regime and state regime meeting those facts. You may think you're subscribed, but just double check.

277.342 - 297.27 Ben Meiselas

So just to give you a brief history lesson here, a bunker was built underneath the White House by FDR during World War II. It was since reinforced. It has its own ventilation system. It was meant to, in theory now, withstand nuclear attacks. You probably have seen it.

297.436 - 325.083 Ben Meiselas

In those photos after 9-11 of Dick Cheney looking like he was in a situation room with George W. Bush's cabinet, that was in this area called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. That was underneath the East Wing. And I said, huh, they're tearing down the East Wing. Trump saying the military is involved. I wonder if that's really what they're doing.

325.564 - 339.019 Ben Meiselas

And authoritarians tend to think alike. And Hitler wanted that bunker badly. And you can imagine Donald Trump seething in his paranoia saying, I need a bunker, especially if Donald Trump doesn't want to leave.

339.809 - 369.393 Ben Meiselas

Dan Diamond, Washington Post reporter, was in the court proceeding that took place on Tuesday, where a group, the National Trust for the Historical Preservation of Washington, D.C., sued Donald Trump to block the construction of the ballroom. Now, the Trump regime made two arguments. Argument number one, national security. The judge was like, what do you mean national security?

Chapter 3: What historical context is provided about the White House bunker?

526.213 - 533.402 Ben Meiselas

So the judge says, I'm going to hold you to that. I'm going to make you come back to prove that. And then they argue national security that this

533.888 - 560.897 Ben Meiselas

bunker project was kind of unrelated from the ballroom itself and the judge though said well if I find out that it is actually related and that this ballroom has something to do with the bunker and that they're not separate things then I will block that and I will make you tear it down OK, well, we're going to get the complete ruling from the court today. But that was the argument that was made.

0

561.297 - 582.34 Ben Meiselas

And the Trump regime was fine saying, OK, they're really not related at all. So what's really going down here by their own admission about what happened in court is that this is dealing with what they claim is the bunker. And it's so private that they did not want to even talk about it publicly. So I just want you to think about that.

582.758 - 600.177 Ben Meiselas

So let's just go through again some additional data points now that I think your mind is blown by, whoa, that's really what's happening. So this is back on October 22nd, 2025, when Donald Trump said the military is very much involved in the ballroom. That was one of my first signs. Here, play this clip.

0

600.518 - 619.766 Donald Trump

We're also working with the military on it because they want to make sure everything's perfect and the military is very much involved in this. They want to make sure everything is absolutely beautiful. You can see the kind of interiors that we're talking about. That's an interior of the ballroom. And it's the highest level. And you see, it goes beautifully with the White House.

619.786 - 631.398 Donald Trump

I mean, the mix is beautiful. So over the years, many presidents have made changes. This obviously would be the biggest change, but this was something they wanted for at least 150 years.

632.36 - 645.222 Ben Meiselas

And then Donald Trump said that a wealthy private donor has given the military $130 million as like a donation. Here, play this clip right here. without their first full paychecks, federal workers.

645.442 - 662.817 Donald Trump

By the way, a friend of mine, talking about donors, a friend of mine, a man that's great, I'm not going to use his name unless he lets me do it, as soon as he can tell you about this, but he called us the other day and he said, I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown.

662.797 - 687.006 Donald Trump

I'd like to contribute, personally contribute any shortfall you have with the military, because I love the military and I love the country. And any shortfall, if there's a shortfall, I'll contribute it. And today he sent us a check for $130 million. I would love to tell you he deserves he doesn't really want the recognition if you want to know the truth.

Chapter 4: Why was the military involved in the construction of the golden ballroom?

844.225 - 869.672 Ben Meiselas

Adolf Hitler viewing the model of his planned triumphal arch for Berlin. With him are Reich leader Martin Bormann, Reich leader Philipp Buhler, and architect Albert Speer, examining Speer's model of the triumphal arch. Here's another photo of it right there. Who else did triumphal arches? Napoleon. Here's this portrait of Napoleon, commissioned the same year he commissioned the Arc de Triomphe.

869.892 - 886.281 Ben Meiselas

Napoleon, another authoritarian, and after he commissioned the Arc de Triomphe, he eventually was exiled and died. So maybe you need to read some history a little bit there. But then Trump touts his triumphal arch. So I just want you to think about what's going on here. Play this clip.

0

886.301 - 909.439 Donald Trump

It's going to be unbelievable happening. Should I announce it or should I keep it quiet? I put Vince in charge of the triumphal arch. We're building an arch like the arch to triumph. And we're building it by the Arlington Bridge, the Arlington Cemetery. opposite the Lincoln Memorial. You could say Jefferson, Washington, everything, because they're all right there.

910.58 - 930.1 Donald Trump

And it's something that is so special. It will be like the one in Paris, but to be honest with you, it blows it away, blows it away in every way. And Vince came in one day and his eyes were teeming. I mean, he couldn't believe how beautiful it was. He saw it

930.468 - 956.543 Ben Meiselas

So, Donald Trump's own DOJ admits to federal judge, this underground bunker, for national security reasons, we can't stop it, and that it's unrelated to the construction of the Golden Ballroom. They're saying the Golden Ballroom won't be done down until 2028. We'll submit plans, judge. So that's why when you hear, oh, Trump won the lawsuit, he didn't really win.

956.523 - 974.288 Ben Meiselas

They just argue that it's moot because now we'll submit the plans and now we'll go through the process because I don't think he really cared so much about the ball. I mean, yes, he cared about the ball. He wants it for his vanity project. But I think one of the main things is the bunker. You tell me what you think, but I think you put it all together.
