Ben Meiselas (host)

This has been a disastrous Sunday for Donald Trump.

His Sunday is unraveling quickly.

The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip has all but collapsed.

The Israeli Air Force continued strikes against areas in southern Gaza and central Gaza as well this morning, targeting sites that it claims are

controlled by Hamas.

On the other hand, Hamas says that Israel has violated the ceasefire repeatedly.

We're learning that Israel is halting the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip as it ramps up these military strikes.

Both sides accusing each other of violations.

of the ceasefire, a massive wave of attacks in southern Gaza just taking place right now.

And we're just getting this news, 11 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks across Gaza today.

And folks, from day one, the Midas Touch Network was never calling what transpired a historic peace deal.

We called it a very fragile and structurally flawed

and likely fraudulent ceasefire.

And I think our reporting was spot on once again there.

We'll keep you apprised, but this ceasefire is all but dead.

It is over as the strikes continue and the war rages on.

Yet another failure by Donald Trump.

So what's Donald Trump doing?

Just pretend that that isn't happening.

He's sending his sycophants on the various news programs this morning, like MAGA Mike Johnson and others, and their message this morning was, give the man a Nobel Peace Prize.

We spoke with the Knesset.

Everybody says that Trump should get a Peace Prize.

You idiot, the war is raging.

The war is raging right now, okay?

Former President Biden brought back 83% of the hostages and he wasn't spiking the football.

He didn't have all the world leaders show up.

Time Magazine didn't do, by the way, the Time Magazine photo of Donald Trump, that was a horrible photo of Trump.

It was a great photo, but.

um didn't get a time magazine the peacemaker what the hell were we even doing like how stupid is corporate news to report on it the way it did when it was so obviously one big fraud the same way that donald trump says that he brought in 20 trillion dollars here play this clip

So that was MAGA Mike Johnson there talking about Donald Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize, Nobel Peace Prize.

And here was Donald Trump from this morning talking about $20 trillion.

I brought in $20 trillion.

Nobody's ever done it.

Watch Donald Trump say that.

Here, play this clip.

I think this photo right here is apt.

Sir, the victory lap was premature, sir.

It wasn't that it was just premature.

It was a fraud from the outset.

So what is Donald Trump doing today?

So after the no Kings protests yesterday, the largest mass mobilization

in the history of the United States taking place yesterday as Donald Trump is seeing that this fraudulent ceasefire unraveling quicker, I think, than perhaps even he expected.

Who the hell knows if the guy even cares?

He's just roaming around Mar-a-Lago today on the taxpayer dime, roaming around Mar-a-Lago

crashing people's weddings at Mar-a-Lago.

That's for real what this idiot is doing.

He's also making social media posts.

Now he's moved on, maybe didn't move on, but he's not focused today on Maduro of Venezuela.

Today he's talking about President Gustavo Petro of Colombia, and Donald Trump does not know how to spell Colombia.

One, two, three, four times in this rambling, rantic post,

where he calls President Petro a drug dealer.

He spells Columbia incorrectly.

So also, if you want to know why he made that post, the president of Columbia posted on social media that Donald Trump's those strikes on the fishing boats killed innocent Colombian fishermen.

and that they were war crimes.

And the President of Colombia wanted answers why Donald Trump was committing war crimes against innocent fishermen of Colombia.

And so Trump responds to Petro by saying, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is an illegal drug dealer,

Strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs all over Colombia.

It has become the biggest business in Colombia spelled wrong by far and Petro does nothing to stop it.

And then Trump goes on to say the USA is subsidizing them as of today.

these payments or any other form of payment or subsidies will no longer be made to Colombia.

The purpose of this drug, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But do y'all remember that after the election, one of the first people that Donald Trump attacked like right away was Petro of Colombia as well.

So this is what Donald Trump's doing today.

While he's doing that,

We also learned about the deals or the total capitulation, or should I say throwing our entire FBI structure under the bus for Bukele, the dictator of El Salvador.

A great story, the well-researched story this morning from the Washington Post, how Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, promised to betray U.S.

informants in order to get Donald Trump

Donald Trump's El Salvador prison deal.

You know how we were sending migrants, many of whom were not criminals at all, to that concentration camp in El Salvador, right?

That's one of the places Abrego Garcia went.

That barber from Venezuela, the gay barber went there.

There were a lot of innocent people who ended up going there, getting brutally sexually assaulted, attacked, violently beaten, beaten.

So how was that deal made between Donald Trump and the dictator of El Salvador, Bukele?

Well, they have the exclusive details here in the Washington Post.

So El Salvador's President Bukele demanded the U.S.

hand over nine MS-13 leaders to

in exchange for access to Bukele's prison.

During a March phone call with Bukele, Marco Rubio noted a problem.

Some of these men were informants to the US and under US protection, officials said.

To deport them, Attorney General Pam Bondi would need to terminate the DOJ's arrangement with these men, Rubio said.

He assured Bukele that Bondi would complete that process.

and the U.S.

would hand over the MS-13 leaders.

In promising to terminate the arrangements, current and former Justice Department officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years, perhaps decades, of work by U.S.

law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world's most deadly gangs.

Nixing the agreement also threatens to damage the credibility of the Justice Department, which routinely relies on informants

To build cases against high-level criminals, officials said.

At least three of the MS-13 leaders Bukele requested had divulged incriminating information about members of Bukele's government.

Officials said one of them, Cesar Lopez Larios, was sent back to El Salvador two days after the Ruby massacre.

Bukele phone call.

The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S.

law enforcement, whose agents risk their lives to apprehend the gang members, said Douglas Farah, a U.S.

contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang.

The State Department dismissed criticisms of Rubio's dealmaking.

saying the secretary's diplomacy allowed the U.S.

to deport hundreds of alleged members of gangs in Trende Aragua to El Salvador.

Americans are safer as a result of these incredible efforts.

Actually, America is far less safe as a result of what is taking place here.

And we know drug prosecutions are down significantly and drug investigations are down as Donald Trump focuses on arresting the food vendors, the farmers, the factory workers, the construction workers,

and people who have been here for decades paying taxes and actually supporting the United States of America.

A lot of people ask me, how do you stay up to date on all of this news when you do these morning reports?

Well, I use something called Ground News that I just want to talk about super quickly.

It's a subscriber-funded app and news site, and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the right's reporting, what the center's reporting, what is the left reporting.

It is a game changer as an active and responsible owner of a media company and as an active and responsible citizen wanting information.

I think that Ground News is a necessary tool in that.

That's why I love Ground News.

They also tell me, is this independent media reporting on it?

Is it a large conglomerate reporting on it?

Often I find that independent news is more reliable than corporate news, but not always the case.

I use what's called their Vantage subscription plan.

And I especially like their blind spot feed.

It highlights the stories that are disproportionately covered by one side, whether it's disproportionately covered by the right, the left, or the center.

It all spells that out for you.

And for example, when I was looking this morning on how's the right, how's the left, how's the center covering the fact that this ceasefire in Gaza is basically collapsing.

I've actually found fairly, the distribution of reporting has been fairly even amongst right, center, and left, which I think is an interesting sign that I think everybody's beginning to recognize what we've been saying last week, that this was an utter failure.

If you want to know and use the tools that I use, go to ground.news.mtn.

Use their Vantage subscription plan.

It's the plan that I use.

We're going to give you 40% off that Ground News Vantage plan that I use every morning.

They're subscriber funded.

And by subscribing, you're not only getting a tool we all need today, you're also supporting our work here on this YouTube channel.

So go to ground.news.mtn, get that 40% off the Ground News Advantage plan.

That's G-R-O-U-N-D.news.mtn.

And we pin the link to purchase your subscriptions below.

Now back to the news reporting as well.

We'll show you what Donald Trump said here when he said that he believes that he may use the Insurrection Act right now.

And he claims that 50% of presidents have declared insurrections and used the Insurrection Act.

Yet another phony fraud and lie by the phony fraud liar in chief.

Play this clip.

By the way, I was also looking at the morning shows to see if any of them would cover that Donald Trump posted a video, an AI video of himself literally defecating on protesters and wearing a crown while defecating on protesters.

You would think maybe that's a news story, but no, they were like, oh, that's just Trump being Trump.

Any other person who would do that, it would end their presidency.

But the media goes, yeah, that's just Trump being Trump.

But they did ask this question to MAGA Mike Johnson.

I thought it was a good one.

This is from this week on ABC.

MAGA Mike Johnson was asked, could you swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow?

Why don't you?

Here, play this clip.

Two other data points I want to give you right here.

On Fox, Maga Mike Johnson was asked by the Fox host, Peter Doocy.

So look, we know that Donald Trump did this historic peace deal with Israel and Hamas.

He was so able to speak with them.

Why can't he speak with Hakeem Jeffries?

The very premise of the question is false, because there was no peace deal with Hamas in Israel.

It was all a fraud.

It was all a phony.

Israel and Hamas didn't sign the thing.

They didn't sign the document.

It's a fraud.

Here, just play this clip though of Mike Johnson's answer.

Play this clip.

I sent them.

And I just want to show you as well, because Zelensky did his round of the morning shows as well.

And Kristen Welker said basically the same thing.

The setup to our question was, we all know that Donald Trump brought people together and did this historic peace deal in the Middle East.

So why do you think he's not being strong enough on Putin?

He's of course not being strong enough on Putin.

We know that for a fact, but the premise of the question that Trump did a peace deal is a false premise.

He didn't do a peace deal.

He made up a fake ceasefire that lasted zero days.

As soon as he announced it, there were Palestinians who were being killed and both sides were accusing each other of violations.

Hamas and Israel didn't sign the agreement.

Trump doesn't believe in a two-state solution.

Netanyahu doesn't believe in a two-state solution.

Smotrich, who's Netanyahu's right-hand person, says that they're going to start building more settlements in Gaza.

Hamas reasserts control, saying they're not going to disarm.

I don't know why this was being reported as something historic when it didn't change anything.

What it did do, and it's a good thing, the hostages were returned, the remaining hostages, but 83% were returned under former President Biden.

What don't we understand about that?

Here, play this clip of Zelensky, let's play it.

And then finally, you see these weak, cowardly MAGA Republican senators, these just these, I don't even know, obsequious, weak humans.

I don't even know how humans get this weak, how they become so servile and stupid.

And this guy's asked this question, this MAGA Republican senator, you think it's a good idea to build a tunnel from Russia to Alaska?

And the guy's like, whatever Donald Trump says, whatever Donald Trump says.

How about you idiots focus on giving the 20 million Americans who are losing their health care, health care?

How about we start with that premise?

How about instead of giving $40 billion to Argentina, we focus on America?

How about we do those things?

These MAGA Republicans are the biggest idiots.

Here, play this clip of MAGA Republican Senator Jim Banks.

Well, there you have it, folks.

Let me know what you think.

Hit subscribe.

Let's get to 6 million.

Thank you for watching.

Oof, Democrats in the House of Representatives just put the screws into FBI Director Kash Patel.

I think the House Democrats were more effective than the Democrats in the Senate were yesterday in really exposing what an utter phony Kash Patel is and how Kash Patel and Donald Trump are covering up this pedo sex trafficking ring and are covering up Donald Trump's dark past.

Watch as Democratic Congresswoman Lofgren had a very basic question for Kash Patel.

How many times did Donald Trump's name appear in the Epstein files?

One, 1,000, 10,000?

Kash Patel refuses to answer.

Here, play this clip.

Next up, you have Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman, who says, why aren't you releasing the witness interviews?

Why aren't you releasing all of the evidence that the DOJ can release tomorrow?

And Kash Patel tries to squirm out of it.

But Congress member Goldman says, I'm a former prosecutor.

I know you can release this.

Here, play this clip.

Next up, you have Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell cross-examining Kash Patel.

Patel refuses to give a direct answer whether he told Attorney General Bondi that Trump's name is in the Epstein files.

Play this clip.

And Congress member Swalwell continues down this line of cross-examination.

So what are you saying?

Trump's name can appear 1,000 times?

Even more?

Tell us, Cash.

Tell us, Cash.

Here, play this clip.

But Kash Patel is willing to say that Donald Trump is not an FBI informant, despite the fact that the Speaker of the House, Maga Mike Johnson, previously said he was.

Here, play this clip.

So, Director, you've played this cute shell game.

Now I want to show you Democratic Congressmember Moskowitz.

Here's what he had to say.

Congressmember Moskowitz says, you've seen the picture of the woman's body with the president's signature, and so you're saying this is a forgery?

So I guess, is the FBI going to open up a forgery investigation and watch Congressmember Moskowitz

get Kash Patel to agree a forgery investigation should be open based on Donald Trump now claiming that in the 2003 book that's property of the Epstein estate, someone planted this over 20 years ago.

Here, play this clip.

I appreciate your time.

Congressmember Moskowitz was really on fire during this hearing as well.

And he said, other than Epstein and Maxwell, your testimony here is that the number of names in the Epstein files is zero.

And what Congressmember Moskowitz gets Kash Patel to admit to is Kash Patel goes, I'm just talking about the charged names.

Well, duh, the only charged names are

is Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Those were the only people who were charged.

The issue is the coverup.

It's the uncharged names that should be charged and should be investigated and should be outed.

That's the whole point.

And Congress member Moskowitz, real brilliant cross-examination by him, gets Patel to admit it.

Here, play this clip.

I thought that was a very effective line of cross-examination.

One more clip right here of Congress member.

Let's let's show Congress member Raskin at this point.

Here's what Congress member Raskin has to say, where he shows clips of Kash Patel calling to release the Epstein files.

Let's play that.

You know what's wild?

I've been using Harry's for the past few weeks, and for the first time in my life, I'm not leaving the bathroom looking like I just wrestled with a cheese grater.

I got the full kit.

Razor, extra blades, shave gel, and this thing looks and feels premium.

The handle alone, sleek.

Balanced, it feels like it belongs in a Bond movie.

And no irritation, none.

Let's be real, most razors are either overpriced, dull after two shaves, or leave you feeling like you shaved with sandpaper.

Harry's flips the script.

German engineered blades with aerospace level precision for sharpness and consistency, plus an aloe and vitamin E strip so your skin stays smooth.

And the price, literally half of what the big brands charge because Harry's owns their factory and cuts out the middleman.

So stop overpaying for mediocre shaves.

For a limited time, our listeners can get Harry's trial set for only $8 plus a free gift at harrys.com slash Midas.

Just head over to harrys.com slash Midas to receive our exclusive discount.

Now after your purchase, they'll ask you where you heard about them.

please support our show and tell them that Midas Touch sent you.

And Congress member Swalwell then gets Patel to admit he hasn't even reviewed all the files.

Here, play this clip.

Now, I'll show you a Republican, kind of one of the lone Republicans who have been really leading the charge here, Thomas Massey, who initiated the discharge petition to get a vote.

But Trump said that if any Republicans sign on to this discharge petition, it's a hostile act against the regime.

Here's Congressmember Massey's question, and watch this.

Here's Congress member Massey again saying, so let me get this straight.

You were present when the attorney general and the influencers released the social, the Trump MAGA influencers held up the binders, the Epstein filed binders back in February.

but you're not there with the victims today.

So are you going to personally meet the victims?

And Patel doesn't agree to personally meet Epstein's victims.

Maybe the FBI will handle it.

Their hatred of the victims is so freaking clear.

Here, watch this.

Another clip of Thomas Massey cross-examining Patel.

Let's play it.

And I thought Congress member Ted Lieu was particularly effective as well when he cross-examines Patel and Ted Lieu gets Patel again to refuse to answer the direct question, yes or no, when asked if Epstein had Prince Andrew or Donald Trump on the client list.

You'll see Patel refuse to answer.

Play this clip.

But then Ted Lieu says, are there any photos of Donald Trump with underage girls in the files?

Watch this.

Here's a particularly powerful moment where Congresswoman Jayapal is questioning Patel.

Let's play.

Now, Kash Patel claims he doesn't even know who Dylann Roof is.

the shooter, the killer, the terrorist in the Charleston church shooting, targeting the African-American church, killing nine African-Americans in Bible study.

And Dylann Roof, far right-wing ideology, said he was doing it because of his anti-black views.

Watch Congresswoman Kamala Dove question Kash Patel, who says he doesn't even know who Dylann Roof is.

Here, play this clip.

Another great moment where Kash Patel is questioning, where Kash Patel is getting questioned by Congress member Lou, let's play it.

Run out credible leads.

That's literally not how it works.

And finally, here's the last clip of Congress member Moskowitz I want to show you.

Let's play it.

What a disastrous trip this was for Donald Trump in the UK.

I mean, just look at him right there.

Zoom in on him.

You see his face right there.

What's going on with Melania?

She covering her face with that ridiculous hat of hers, like a flying saucer on her head.

Then you had Donald Trump dressed in whatever this tuxedo is as the king of the UK, King Charles, tried to roll out all of this kind of pomp and circumstance.

in order to basically get donald trump to support ukraine and donald trump didn't even see what the hell was happening donald trump just like being carried in a golden carriage right there and again look how sickly he looks in the golden carriage then there was this other photo right here of trump with the royal family and kierstar zoom in on his hand right there oh my

Gosh, the hell is going on?

Zoom in on the hand.

You see the hand is just decomposing and rotting before our very eyes.

And while Donald Trump was in the UK, there were protests in London.

Shout out to all of the Midas Mighty in London for showing up to those protests.

Great work over there.

There were protests in Windsor.

People were all over the UK not liking that their taxpayer dollars were being spent on this ridiculous charade.

We feel you.

But y'all want to take them for a little bit?

Y'all want to keep them out of here?

let's just send him to russia maybe we'll just both send him to russia together so he could be with his boy vlad all right let's let's talk though for real about horrifically dangerous things donald trump was doing while he was in the uk he got his fcc chairman or commissioner to basically threaten disney abc and then you had the companies that carry the affiliates like sinclair and nexstar

They basically canceled the Jimmy Kimmel show because Jimmy Kimmel spoke the truth about Charlie Kirk.

What Jimmy Kimmel said wasn't even offensive.

I went through the transcript of what Jimmy Kimmel said.

I don't even understand what was wrong about what Jimmy Kimmel said.

He was like,

MAGA spent the weekend trying to convince the world that the shooter was not one of theirs.

And then he goes, like, here's what Donald Trump said when he was at the White House, when he was asked how he's grieving about Charlie Kirk.

Then they go play the clip.

And then it was just Donald Trump asked about Charlie Kirk.

And then Donald Trump's like, but do you see the ballroom I'm building?

Let's talk about the ballroom.

I'm done talking about Charlie Kirk.

Like, that's it.

Like, that's what...

Jimmy Kimmel said that they're saying was grounds for firing Kimmel, which is just utterly ridiculous.

And now ABC Disney's permanently suspended him as he fully fired.

By the way, go to our sub stack, MidasPlus.com.

I did a whole article.

I did a letter to Jimmy Kimmel and I said, Jimmy, join the Midas Touch Network.

We've got six million subscribers here.

You can say whatever you want to say.

We actually support free speech at the Midas Touch Network.

Go to MidasPlus.com.

after this video and check out the open letter i did to jimmy kimmel i think it's pretty cool but after abc disney announced that it was basically suspending and canceling the jimmy kimmel show over speaking the truth about uh charlie kirk donald trump posts great news for america the ratings challenge jimmy kimmel show is canceled congratulations to abc for finally having the courage to do what had to be done

Kimmel has zero talent and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible.

That leaves Jimmy and Seth two total losers on Fake News NBC.

Their ratings are also horrible.

Do it, NBC.

President DJT.

So now he wants Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers as well.

By the way.

You go and look at the history of when Putin took power, you'll see the Putin impersonators and all the comics in Russia were either killed, tortured, threatened, fled, because this is what authoritarians do.

They can't handle jokes.

And the issue is, like...

We hoped that other leaders, especially where Trump's approval is in the freaking toilet bowl.

It's worse now than it was during his first term.

It's the worst approval in modern presidential history by far.

It's not even close.

Yet you have corporations bending the knee to this vile piece of trash.

Act with moral clarity.

You know what moral clarity is?

Looking in the camera and saying Donald Trump is a piece of trash.

That's moral clarity because it's true.

Want me to be clearer?

Want me to peel that piece of trash onion and make it clearer for you?

Donald Trump is a disgusting felon.

OK, he was found criminally responsible for 34 felony counts.

He deserves to be in prison right now, in my opinion, not in the Oval Office turning it into some weird yellow golden bordello.

Donald Trump is a sexual abuser.

He is a sexual predator.

He was found civilly liable for sexual assault.

You know how sick of a human being he is?

He said it hurt his reputation when George Stephanopoulos of ABC used the R word to refer to what Donald Trump was found liable.

When Donald Trump was found liable for using his finger, Donald Trump said, how dare you say genitals?

It was my finger that I used to sexually assault as found by a federal jury.

That's what a sick, disgusting thing is.

He is.

Also, he's a bankruptor.

He's bankrupted many a company over and over again.

He's a lifelong loser.

He's a draft dodger.

That's moral clarity.

You call it out.

You do it fearlessly.

And if that piece of trash wants to sue me, I look forward to taking his deposition.

I'm not going to even file a motion to dismiss.

I'd answer.

I send a deposition notice.

I put him in front of me.

I start putting him under oath right away.

That's what you do.

That's how you act with moral clarity.

Consequences be damned.

In this moment, people want fighters, fighters for democracy, for empathy, for love, for community, for bringing people together.

Yet our corporate media bends the knee.

and fires people like Jimmy Kimmel, fires great reporters.

What the hell are you doing?

And then Donald Trump posts this while he's in the UK.

I'm pleased to inform our many USA patriots that I'm designating Antifa a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster as a major terrorist organization.

I will also be strongly recommending that those funding Antifa

Be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.

Thank you for your attention to this.

Antifa is like not a real group.

Antifa is like some concept that they've made up of people who are anti-fascist.

Anti-fascist are the bad guys to the fascist.

They made up this group as you're Antifa, you're Antifa, you're Antifa.

So they could come up and get annoyed at Antifa.

their own kind of fake enemy that they've created.

Oh, and now they're going to do what government purges.

We're not stupid.

We know you want to do what Putin does.

Use Antifa as your pretext to go after leftists and radicals and all the people who you are just inventing in your minds when y'all are the ones who are using the violent rhetoric and dividing our country over and over again.

By the way, does everybody remember when Donald Trump said over and over again, I've banned all government censorship and restored free speech?

Oh, yeah, we've got the receipts here.

Play this clip.

Or you remember back on January 23rd, 2025, when Donald Trump says, I'm pleased to report again, America is a free nation once again.

And on day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship.

This is what these people do.

They are the ones who are engaged in the censorship, in the fascist authoritarian conduct, but then they project out on their enemy people who want peace, people who want democracy, who want empathy and love.

Here's when Donald Trump said it on January 23rd, 2025.

This is the FCC Chairman and Commissioner Brendan Carr saying I want to thank Nexstar and then also there was Sinclair for doing the right thing.

Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest while this may be an unprecedented decision to fire Jimmy

Kimmel, it's important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values.

I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar's lead.

And then he sends this meme to a reporter, Brian Stelter, when he asked...

FCC chair Brendan Carr, if he had any comment on ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show, he does a meme of the actors in the office raising the roof.

Also behind this, just so you know, is Nextar wants to merge with its rival Tegna and control all of the local affiliate stations.

Nextar owns like two dozen plus ABC affiliates.

Tegna owns a lot.

Sinclair owns a lot.

But Nextar needs approval.

by the Trump regime, FCC, of its merger with Tegna.

And so do you see how this all falls in place?

Also, Sinclair is demanding that Jimmy Kimmel make a donation to Charlie Kirk's family, and then maybe they'll consider bringing the show back.

They'd make a donation to Charlie Kirk's family, issue a public apology for what?

Like Kimball didn't say anything wrong.

He didn't say anything bad.

He barely said anything at all about it.

Frankly, I went back.

I was like, am I missing something that Kimball said?

Did he say something that crossed the line?

No.

And by the way, Charlie Kirk was not a good person when he was alive.

Like he really wasn't.

And I don't know how he was with his family.

And, you know, I feel bad as a dad myself.

I'm heartbroken by what happened.

I condemn violence.

I'm heartbroken in the sense that he's got a wife and he has children.

children.

And this was never the answer.

Violence is never the answer.

This 22-year-old white kid from Utah, from a religious family, a gun-toting family, a Trump-supporting MAGA family that raised this internet-obsessed individual.

It is heartbreaking.

Condemn violence.

There's no place for it.

The Trump regime wants to use it as pretext to purge their political enemies.

When Trump was asked about the death of Charlie Kirk, he wants to talk about the ballroom.

And that's all Kimmel pointed out.

Kimmel could have pointed out that Charlie Kirk has said so many anti-black statements before, anti-Hispanic statements, anti-gay, anti-LGBTQ, saying the Civil Rights Act was a mistake calling for Biden to be executed.

There's a litany of horrible, atrocious things.

That Charlie Kirk said, but Kimmel didn't bring any of that up.

He just said, basically, here's what Donald Trump said.

I mean, how ridiculous is that?

So then on Fox, they're realizing Americans are pissed.

By the way, I think right and left and center, red, state, purple.

This regime is clearly intruding on free speech, which is absolutely anathema to this.

I mean, I don't care if you don't like Kimmel.

You shouldn't be cheering on a comic getting kicked off for... I don't even think it was a joke.

It was like a mild...

very true statement?

What are we talking about?

But watch what Sean Hannity says here.

And then these sociopaths like J.D.

Vance go on TV, you know, he does the hand scene.

You know, he's wearing the eyeliner.

I mean, the guy's got so much makeup on and eyeliner.

It was such a weird look.

These are weird humans.

Sorry.

These are weird people.

And then J.D.

Vance is like, you don't call other people Nazis.

By the way, J.D., OK, sure.

Agreed.

You're the one who called Trump Hitler.

You said he's America's Hitler.

That was your quote.

That was you.

That was you who did it.

J.D., here, play this clip.

I want to bring it back to a Democratic Congress member, Jim McGovern, said here on the floor, because I thought this was a particularly powerful speech.

Let's play.

And finally, as a reminder, I've done a lot of videos on this, but that FBI Kash Patel hearing,

in the House of Representatives was something else.

I mean, Kash Patel, as he was being cross-examined by Democrats about his coverup of Donald Trump's dark past, he wouldn't even say how many times Trump was on the Epstein files.

He said that Epstein was like a lone wolf.

He wouldn't answer basic questions about, did you tell Pam Bondi or Trump that they were on, that he was on the list?

What were your conversations?

It was humiliating to watch.

And then to watch the Republicans block all of the subpoenas?

that went out, that could have gone out to get information on Epstein, block it for Donald Trump, because Trump says, if you don't, this is a direct quote for Trump, a direct quote.

If you don't basically block all of the Epstein stuff, if you don't block it, it's a hostile act.

That's what the regime put out.

It's a hostile act.

to find out what happened to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and who else, which other rich men, oligarchs out there are out there being predators.

Anyway, here's this part where Congress member Swalwell cross-examined Kash Patel.

Here, play this clip.

There you have it, folks.

Let me know what you think.
