Chapter 1: What is Donald Trump's recent behavior and public image?

0.089 - 16.988 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump was once again golfing all day yesterday and through a spokesperson he leaked that he does not give an F about even trying to make appearances that he cares about anything. That's one of the things that leaked out. We get it, Donald.

And as you know, the Midas Touch Network was broadcasting all of it here on our YouTube and across all of our social media platforms. We take the responsibility and trust you've placed in us.

111.878 - 134.549 Ben Meiselas

Very seriously, we know how important it is that since we now are about to have 5 million subscribers and we're the most viewed news YouTube channel in the world, it is critical that we cover what corporate news refuses to cover, the protests. And they will continue to grow as we head into democracy summer. It's already here early.

135.109 - 166.395 Ben Meiselas

Let's take a look at what the White House was also talking about in the past 24 hours. This is real. This was a real press release issued by the White House. Seriously, the president won his second round matchup of the senior club championship today in Jupiter, Florida, and advances to the championship round tomorrow. That is a serious press release issued by the Trump regime. Not making that up.

167.056 - 190.855 Ben Meiselas

They made that through their official formal White House press channels. Well, Fox State Regime Media picked it up. Here's what Fox posted. This was a real story that Fox ran yesterday. Trump advances to championship round of senior club golf tournament days after imposing wave of tariffs. Well, at least they included the tariffs part there.

191.396 - 220.464 Ben Meiselas

As Ron Filipkowski, our editor-in-chief, says, Caligula Nero Kim Jong Trump is about to win another fake championship on his own course while the economy tanks. Donald Trump from the golf course posting this. We need tariffs on China. And he's quoting someone named Gordon Chang. Donald Trump reposting this TikTok video that says Trump is purposefully crashing the market.

Chapter 2: What were the scale and impact of recent protests against Trump?

728.015 - 741.546 Ben Meiselas

Cory Booker, Senator Booker. I think I'm going to be interviewing Senator Booker soon, and I look forward to sharing that with you. Senator Booker gave an incredible town hall yesterday. Let me share with you what he said. Play this clip.

745.619 - 755.068 Cory Booker

Some people might say, oh, they disappeared that person, but they're not an American citizen. Well, if there's no due process, how do you know they're not an American citizen?

0

755.708 - 778.427 Cory Booker

If they have the right to take somebody off of our streets, throw them on the plane because they don't like their tattoo, and end them up in one of the worst jails on the planet Earth without any due process, where they've already admitted that they've made mistakes. That's not our country. This is a cancer on the soul of our nation. And we have got to say no.

0

779.427 - 793.656 Cory Booker

There is a way to do this in a bipartisan manner to create more strength and safety and security, but to create an immigration system that serves our economy and upholds our values. That's what I stand for. That's what I'll fight for. Thank you.

794.909 - 812.504 Ben Meiselas

Take a look right here. You'll see the crowd in Boston from this Boston Globe article about my friends from the Dropkick Murphys. It's been such an honor for me to become friends with Ken Casey, the lead singer of the Dropkick Murphys. They've always been on the side of workers since the band started.

814.205 - 841.968 Ben Meiselas

in the mid-1990s and this is what he says what that this is what music for what music is for you use it to protest that's what we're here for um we're going to be highlighting the dropkick murphy's performance in front of a hundred thousand people in boston um i can't wait to show you that other headlines worth mentioning as well farmers are bracing for significant losses in the new trade war um

843.349 - 866.722 Ben Meiselas

From Bloomberg, Wall Street gets rude shock as Besson plays second fiddle on tariffs. Meanwhile, on Saturday, as traders and executives across Wall Street and corporate America were still reeling from the market mayhem, White House aides issued an announcement. Trump had won the second round of the senior golf championship at his Jupiter Golf Club.

866.742 - 894.982 Ben Meiselas
