Trump's latest meltdown hits new authoritarian lows—and the week is just getting started. On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the madness: Trump’s so-called “economic plan” includes rationing dolls for little girls, jacking up prices, and telling working families to “shut up.” He floated imaginary trade deals, demanded tariffs on Hollywood movies, posted a bizarre AI image of himself as the Pope, and called for reopening Alcatraz. Oh, and he partied with the Proud Boys at Mar-a-Lago, questioned if he has to uphold the Constitution, and proposed gutting 20% of four-star generals. Meanwhile, a huge pro-democracy win in Australia where the Labor Party crushed it—ALBOWS UP, mates. Buckle up—Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss it all.

Dictator Donnie NEEDS TO BE PRISONED TODAY ALONGSIDE CREEP VANCE AND DRUGGED UP ON KETAMIN MUSK
Yes, how about Alcatraz?
I can think of at least three perfect candidates to live in Alcatraz: DJT, JDV, EM. Get out the nets on poles, and let's get this new idea going right away.
I’m sure he wants to open Alcatraz again so he can put US citizens in jail there as opposed to sending them to another country. He can’t even get along with or stick up for his own US citizens if he’s already talking about homegrown people being jailed.
He should’ve been jailed a long time ago and yet he’s still free to cause more chaos
He still has to pay for his crimes so he’s not a good example for the people that are committing crimes now He’s allowing it so let’s add more time in prison for him
And I'm sure he wants his name displayed prominently on every side of the island.
just think, his grand kids will know he's an adjudicated sexual assaulter and a convicted felon. History won't be kind to him nor his corrupted family. Vote for clowns and get a circus of idiots.
Does anyone either in or out of the regime have any idea of the billions and billions it would cost to completely rebuild Alcatraz, not to mention the annual cost of shipping in food, water and all products on a daily basis?
Totally 💯
What about the Press secretary and the Attorney General?
They both need severe direction and prison time as well for LYING and Spreading Conspiracy Theories. This is all pathetic!
He was out of control before he was reelected by 77 million Americans that did not listen to their own senses. Now that he is in the seat of power, he’s exhibiting more of his unhinged behaviors!
he was dark maga'd in. i'll never believe he won fairly
From what I have read, and he recently admitted to the election was rigged. He indicated that Elon Musk knows those voting machines very well so you can surmise from that that musk manipulated the machines to make it appear that Trump won. In essence Kamala should’ve been president and we would’ve had more peace by now. At least she knows how to compromise with people and not use them for her own special disagreement with people if she has any.
But he admitted to it and I read it only yesterday he’s pretty proud of it
If you look on Facebook, I believe under the Facebook page for the resistance that’s where I originally saw it
I don’t recall where yesterday it was, but if I run across it again, I will share it here
He’s openly saying it was rigged and if it wasn’t for that, he would not have the presidency that he desperately wanted
It’s all about controlled with him, and evidently he could control musk because he turned over the rain of allowing him to close and get rid of all of our government agencies that he did and fire thousands of people who needed their jobs and we’re doing them well
I don’t know who is advising him because there’s all these unqualified people in his cabinet and in Congress now and none of them have ever been in those positions before It’s like they do rock paper scissors, and decide to make a decision based on it
Unacceptable when the rest of the country is relying on him for guidance and helping us keep the peace
I could go on and on, but some of you who think the same as I do already know what I’m talking about or mean
I can only hope that he stops hanging out with the proud boys and getting bad advice from Hegsworth or Muskrat or anyone else that’s near him z
And because he was recruited by Putin back in the 1980s, you know he’s also a Russian asset so he’s cautious what he says against Russia or Putin he doesn’t want to rock the boat with him.
Stephen Miller is the individual that is pulling the strings, notice in every Oval Office pic, he’s always at DT’s left side.
Isn't Stephen Miller also the one who reads the executive orders to DT, who then acts surprised or uninformed about what he's about to sharpie baptize, then holds up the manifest like Moses displaying the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai?
Yup!
Me either
Not because I despise the man but because his behavior was so suspicious prior to the election
He stopped trying weeks before the election
He has even said Elon rigged it fir him
No one wanted to listen
That felon has never won anything honestly he always cheats.
Donnie Two-dolls needs to be in a mental institution. Before you celebrate that great idea, remember that would leave the country to Shady Vance...definitely not a nice thought.
Vance wouldn't have the protection that Donnie has. Donnie doesn't want anyone to have 30 dolls because that wouldn't leave enough for him to play with.
Are you still investigating Trump’s pump and dump moves, along with MTG’s part in the whole criminal mess?
yeah really; his latest insanity it a distraction
Mark Carney shouldn't go to the white house.
No, Mark Carney should not go to the White (dark) House!!!!!!
No Mark Carney shouldn’t go to the House of White trash.
Trump’s PERSONAL PHYSICIAN and his family are VERY aware that he has a dementia diagnosis. Daily he shows that he is separating from REALITY to the danger of everyone and everything.
There are many etiologies behind Dementia. His is progressing rapidly as we can all see. Trump , due to his job description, is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, to the country and the entire planet.
His physician needs to speak out and give the public the truth about his mental fitness. His family has a responsibility too. His CABINET is VERY AWARE of Trump’s mental acuity and the danger he poses.
They will all be held culpable along with Trump.
Trump needs to be removed from Office. Now
Think Nuclear Codes if nothing else He may honestly have absolutely NO UNDERSTANDING of what the Constitution means. Or just about anything else
Carney just told tRump that Canada is not for sale and tRump said "never say never." tRump needs to go bury his head in the sand. He's such an ignorant ass.
I feel like since the MAGA morons harassed Biden , and still do, about his age and mental decline we should too about TRUMP. He is crazy and getting worse. Why is no one calling him out?
Hey, let's not be sexist. Little boys will also be deprived of their GI Joes for the Holidays.
And Ninja turtles, which have made a comeback
Felon47 is sexist & him talking about little girls is a point that wasn't missed bt feminists.
Omg have loved you guys for years!! So happy that so many other #MeidasMighty have found you and love you too!! Thank you!
Too many dolls? Yeah, the Trumps are known for conservative spending on gold toilets, multiple extravagances, multiple gawdy images they flaunt. What hypocrites.
I have to continually remind myself to have the courage to wait as "he" deconstructs ...and this does include making phone calls and standing with protesters ....Make Americans Good Again:)
Donny 2Dolls is losing control of his rookie regime. "WH was caught off guard" Feb. 2nd when Pete kegseth ordered all military shipments to Ukraine halted. Only after the WH was made aware, military shipments were reinstated on Feb. 5th. Like, wtf! How is it that this can happen, & then no one gets fired??? Trumpturd is losing it.
Trump just throws out crap just to make everyone crazy. He wants us all living in poverty. He is trying to break us!
Why is he hanging out with the Proud Boys group? Getting them ready to attack again? He’s so 2-faced. He doesn’t want peace at all. It’s apparent he prefers violence & fighting & assumes he’s in control
He really isn’t thinking clearly - putting people out there to possibly lose their lives like it’s no big deal to him. Human lives matter yo most - except him. We’re all expendable I guess. We should not be loyal to a murderer or one who prefers the fighting to keep going. . It’s not a game - it’s real life
And why he left Pete H there making decisions without his permission or knowledge — simply because of his loyalty- is a poor excuse. It shows who’s really in charge.
And if Trump can’t make decisions on his own, then everything should just be over and everyone go their separate ways and let peace prevail
It’s unfortunate. He’s the president of our country and so many people believe in him and rely on him for peace and calm. I’m ashamed of him
You can bet your life that Trump was NOT trying to convert the Proud Boys to Christianity since he doesn’t know a single scripture! 😂 They’re all 🏴☠️ terrorists with Trump/Satan as their leader who the MAGA cult empowered to destroy lawfulness and decency. 👺
He loves criminals like himself….
It's no small thing to be hanging out with Proud Boys when it's also being moved forward to enlist local law enforcement agencies in enforcing his agenda. We can't allow vigilante "justice".
Tell me something I do not know
In a world teetering between satire and sincerity, this episode reads like a surreal oracle—revealing the symbolic absurdities tucked within policy whispers. Rationing dolls isn’t merely a headline; it echoes deeper questions about identity, power, and the narratives we imprint on the next generation.
Amid such surreal proposals, we’re invited to ask—what values shape the stories we hand down? And how do we honor the imagination of the future without weaponizing it? Quietly listening between the lines, we find the pulse of a culture at a crossroads. ♾️
What dream are we truly legislating into form?
My power is my purchasing, my voice, my mind, my love of country and the idea of America, the hope of a "more perfect Union," my taxes, my labor, my body.
These are all things I control and exercise and can use to benefit myself and others. I must choose to give up control of or to employ civil disobedience to deny my powers to those who benefit from my existence.
Boycott everything except life essentials, Tax Revolt-social contract has been breached by our governments, law/order, representation is in the hands of 1 person with many put in power to destroy 3 equal branches of government, checks and balances, enforcement of laws, courts, voting, Congress-I will not pay taxes to support CRIME FAMILIES, Dictators, Oligarchs, Theocrats, Sit-ins, Car-ins, Massive Demonstrations to obstruct and deny trump/GOP/MAGA/Putin/Xi/Fox any oxygen and free actions, movement, security,peaceful existence. All can be done non-violently if We the People care enough to plan our RESISTENCE and continue until We have the chance to rebuild a new America without the fragile idea that our politicians, representatives with be people of good will.
TOO many lessons on how We the People have been seized by propaganda, the power of mega-wealthy, might makes right, male whites are superior to all others, some truths are self evident and "human," "inherent", "inalienable rights" must be defined once and for ALL people and Americans. So many things must be changed to prevent the minority rule, corruption, abuse of power by the few over the many.
tRump is so disgusting. How can anyone look up to him. I really don't understand it. Why can't people see it? Is this how some people want to live? He is really head of a cult and we need some people to get these people out of this harmful cult. How, in the hell, can he say tariffs are going to make us rich? Has everyone considered that they are paying for the tariffs? Do they realize that their dollar has shrunk and won't buy as much? He is the only person getting rich, with his meme coin, his personal deals with Saudi Arabia, etc. while using the WH as a prop. His brain is full of $ signs and only for himself. Take down the tRump Crime Family and all of his goonies.
What a disgrace this man is to us and our country. On one hand squealing about cutting costs by removing necessary positions, hiring a bunch of sychophantic morons and then talking about an absurd military parade UGH TOTAL DISGUST!!
I hope he's getting Alcatraz ready for himself and Putin and Netanuhy(sp?)
The fact Trump said he didn't know if he should follow the Constitution is a red flag. I know some people say he didn't have his hand on the Bible when he took the Presidential oath. But, that shouldn't matter. When a person takes an oath in court to tell the truth, it's not with any holy book. The Presidential oath is the same way. Or at least should be the same way.
FLOTUS needs to go.
trump is Racist psychopath manipulating no morals no responsibility no remorals no remorse evil no understanding should be sitting in prison trump and Republicans THREAT To Democracy
Rock on, Australia 🇦🇺
Boycott NFL, even just 1 game to show the power of the people.
Why is slobnoxious so obsessed with tacky gold everything? The oval office looks like a cheap flea market stand
What do you want to bet Captain Bonespurs will show up for the parade in some kind of phony Commander in Chief uniform……with his Purple Heart medal
Did he put that tacky gold crap all over the White House?
Yes he did
Trump is a relentless bully, but he can be stopped by standing up to him, and not caving in to him. There is strength in numbers. COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS.
Didn’t Carter lose popularity when he told Americans that we need to cut back? By the way, whose children gets 30 dolls? None I know.
Trump kids get 30 dolls
Wish someone would shut him up with his outlandish ideas which doesn’t help us…It’s just his way to avoid discussing the Economy and Recession coming soon….
He's such an idiot. We don't subsidize Canada. What a s... why would Canada ever want to be under the Dump's dictatorship. Prime Minister Carney should totally IGNORE the creep sitting I'm the Oval Office. Snub him big time. If he decides to talk to him, he should tell him--diplomatically, of course, which unlike the Deranged Psycho in the oral office, he certainly would do, to well........you know. George Carlin's seven words you can't say on TV.
He's playing monopoly with our country.you are right ,we need tone angry. His reelection is only his ticket out of jail.
He is truly demented .
Thanks for all your hard work to keep us informed .
"REACTION: Trump-Carney Oval Office meeting."
What a circus that was, but Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood his ground, and made clear to Donald Trump that Canada is NOT FOR SALE. (Continued)

His presidency is just his ticket our of jail . He's playing a game.
Djt is intentionally stealing the valor and pride from the US Army. *The ARMY planned the parade to celebrate their 250th aniversary.* Trump is redirecting their pride and honor to himself. As usual.
I hope that they have a huge flag with celebrating the Anniversary of the Army and nothing for Trump he doesn’t need to be recognized period…
Me too! Guaranteed trump will be part of the parade with people from his administration. Anyone who attends should make a concerted effort to turn their backs at the moment their group comes through. The, face the military - salute, wave, clap… but total silence for trump. Just backs.
If Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz, why not send himself and his MAGA cult into there. Would maybe be the only smart thing he could do
Trump is destroying the White house with his gold on our dime.
Trump just said we made 7 trillion dollars on tariffs. If true, why is he cutting all programs and safeguards?
When he says "we" are getting rich, he means he is getting rich. Good point, though. We are paying for the tariffs & the cuts are for tax cuts for the wealthy.
Thanks Donald 🍊for helping us win the election in Australia🇦🇺🐨🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Ok
Figured it out
Trump thinks that he has the mandate because he has the house and senate and thought he had the Supreme Court.
Can’t wait until the Supreme Court takes back his immunity. He now has a lawsuit against the Supreme Court.
In my entire life, of which in in my 70th decade, have I ever seen an administration like this
The evil, the corruption, the idiocracy
So open and blatant and so utterly stupid people in the US.
He literally is out of his stupid mind , lay off the drugs grandpa .
I'm a Catholic and I was grossly offended by Trump's stupid meme of him as a pope not to mention that he made a joke of it! Trump is despicable!
The trump regime will hide behind his dementia diagnosis. They'll use it as an excuse to get away with more crimes, corruption and extortion.
I am a Catholic and I was deeply, deeply offended.
Liar.
I can't even listen to him he's so freakin' demented and insane.
I'm calling out my representatives tomorrow.
Oh, gag me.
So disgusting the way he said "I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs – that's 11 years old – needs to have 30 dolls,- can you say PERVERT
I sure can. FUCKING PERVERT. Sick, twisted, rotting POS.
I love that you used our Aussie “Temu Trump” slogan for Dutton on here 🤣🤣👏👏👏 LOVE IT
Everyone in the White House and ALL Republicans should have a cell waiting for them in El Salvador including musk with NO way of ever returning!!
I am struggling with who the fuck donnie darko thinks he is to tell anyone -- parents or kids,--exactly how many toys [dolls] they SHOULD have. I bet HIS kids had more than three toys!
Trump forgets.....HE WORKS FOR US!!!
Trump NEEDS MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ‼️ We are in the hands of a true malignant narcissist and he’s totally out of it‼️ Impeach ASAP! Republicans had better start listening to their constituents, fast‼️😡
The corporate media are just as corrupt snd compromised as the fascist regime they suck up to.
Yup, enablers are as guilty as the abusers.
Once we are able to survive this, all the billionaires that gave him massive money should be taxed at 50%. They still won't be hurting, sadly. It won't happen but the super wealthy need to be made to pay taxes. It is insane that they are allowed to live for free and return nothing. Talk about your freeloaders.
I hope DJT makes one of those jumps himself … without the parachute.
They are Cutting money from programs who really need help and giving it to the wealthy to waste. Again it is all about him. He has no idea what is like to have limits on his wants or needs. Sure he’ll pay for it, we’ve heard that before.
Lol, you're right, that'd be a cold day in hell when he paid for anything, judging by what is said about him not paying contractors & that he hasn't for his rallies...his art of the deal is only ripping people off, no art, no deal, no honor.
I’m frightened thinking about what he and his buddies the Proud Boys are cooking up. I fear we are being set up for citizen attacks by them in the near future, possibly June 14th. Whatever it is, it cannot be good.
I agree. Talk about the elephant in the room!
He is so ridiculous. A ball room. He will fund it. OK you liar. We don't need it. We need a leader that respects the constitution. They are NOT YOUR LAWYERS . His brain is non existent. Your a tax fraud. Stock market thief. Waste taxpayers money daily . And are abusing the entire world. You are the waste, fraud, and abuse. Not normal.
NOT HIS LAWYERS, not his treasury, not his toilet.
Prez Bonespurs & his entire regime needs to be brought up on charges of treason & executed. Full stop.
If he watches "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," he may want to annex Hershey Park
Yes, Ben, but why is that? Why aren't there more Dems talking about this?

"Trump proves that he has no idea what the Constitution is—again."
Attempting to deflect from courts repeatedly ruling against his immigration policy, Donald Trump lied to reporters on Monday, claiming that the courts fabricated the need for cases to be heard—despite the right to a trial being a constitutional law for more than 234 years.
“The courts have all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they said, ‘maybe you have to have trials.’ Trials, we’re going to have 5 million trials? Doesn’t work, doesn’t work. You wouldn’t have a country left,” he said.Trump has been under fire for denying detainees due process. Students like Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk have been abducted for their pro-Palestinian advocacy, and legal U.S. resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly captured and deported to El Salvador.

"New Homeland Security scam offers immigrants $1,000 to ruin their lives."
The Trump administration is offering undocumented immigrants a paltry $1,000 if they choose to “self-deport” in a “dignified” way.
A Monday release from the Department of Homeland Security said immigrants would be paid the stipend “after their return to their home country has been confirmed”, through Customs and Border Protection’s Home App.
“This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70% savings for US taxpayers,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a post on X. (Continued)

Also remember states (not NV, NJ) where native lands exist were allowing casinos on tribal reservations and other lands they owned to be built. No more reason to travel to NJ to throw away your money.
Anyway, I never knew a kid to own 35 dolls. Maybe is ugly fake daughter.
I disagree with the theory that the Trump administration is doing all of this to confuse people and normalize it. They are doing it because they can. They are doing it because there is not enough organized pushback yet to make them stop. That is why they are doing it. They have no fear; they feel invincible, and so far, why shouldn't they? Who is aggressively pursuing them and pushing back and shutting them down, and succeeding at it? How can they flagrantly break so many laws without any consequence? Because they can. That is the problem.
Yup, screw the "why", they must be stopped.
There is no debate on due process in the real world. But that is not where the regime and MAGA are living
Thanks for yet another enlightening podcast. You guys make my day.
Quick question: during a dinnertime debate last night (my family is fractious) a claim was made that both Biden and Obama deported immigrants without due process, but no one raised the issue. Is this true?
Ask your family to name one immigrant and ask where they were sent. 🤪😅
Probably not since both Obama and Biden stand by the Constitution….
It's hard to disprove something that doesn't exist in the first place, that's the problem with so much of it, that they give validity to anything anyone can come up with & present it as a real thing. There is usually nothing to go on, no facts to be checked, just what they "believe". I don't double check everything I hear from sources I trust, but I take it with a grain of salt & I sure expect to be able to back up anything I repeat. They can't cast plausible doubt without being able to back it up, tell them to show the receipts.
As scary and dangerous as this mess is. The more lunacy I see every day , the more I’m finding Trump and his bobble head yes men laughable and irreverent. Too bad MAGA voted for this and took us down with them. I’m hoping , hmmmm what’s the saying ??? Give somebody enough rope ……..
May 6th is Sigmund Freud's birthday...
They have allowed him to run the White house like movies he watch
To be clear they want have dolls at all because they can't get any
🙄🙄🙄
MAGA is truly a cult: can't these people see what a disaster Trump is to our country?
I believe they are starting to wake up, I’m just waiting for their red line moment.
I have popcorn ready!
Those who voted for Trump need to take a good hard look in the mirror. So do those who failed to vote.
I'm a very proud Australian who voted for democracy, kindness and not for hate and division! We all saw through Temu Trump and the time ever in our elections that the opposition leader lost not only the election but his seat! The best part it was to a smart, intelligent woman! We are so happy here!!!
I love how you brothers interact with each other. You actually listen to each other without interrupting. You value each others words and thoughts. All of you are spot on, up to date on the state of things, and you all have a great sense of humor. What a family.
I know, right? I wonder about their parents because they would be more of my generation, & I'm sure glad some of us got it right, lol, created a healthy family environment where stars like this can shine, be powerful together, & help us be a community, too!

"By Confirming Bisignano, Senate GOP Greenlights 'DOGE Destruction of Social Security'."
"Their playbook is clearly to break Social Security so they can justify further cuts and privatization," one labor leader warned.
Defenders of the Social Security Administration sounded the alarm on Tuesday, after U.S. Senate Republicans banded together to confirm Donald Trump's pick to lead the federal agency, former financial services executive, Frank Bisignano.
The new SSA commissioner—confirmed with a 53-47 vote along party lines—has described himself as a "DOGE person," referring to Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, which is led by billionaire Elon Musk.
"Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with the quiet help of Frank Bisignano, have spent the last few months taking a chainsaw to Social Security," said Nancy Altman, president of the advocacy group Social Security Works.
"This vote was an opportunity for the Senate to reject the decimation of Social Security, and demand that Trump nominate a commissioner who will stop the bleeding. Instead, every Senate Republican just signed off on the DOGE destruction of Social Security." (Continued)

PLEASE SIGN PETITION: "Trump and his children are auctioning off access to the presidency?"
Donald Trump and his family have made it clear: he sees the presidency not as a public trust, but as a business opportunity.
Just this week, The New York Times broke bombshell reports showing how the Trump family is once again using the Oval Office to enrich themselves. Foreign investors, secretive crypto donors, invite-only dinners auctioning access to Trump himself – it’s a pay-to-play presidency, plain and simple. And it’s not just unethical. It’s unconstitutional.
The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution exists to stop this exact kind of corruption: presidents profiting from their office through foreign governments or private deals.
But instead of upholding the law, Trump is brushing it aside, even saying in a recent interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker that he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the Constitution at all.
No President is allowed to just ignore the Constitution.
Will you take a moment to tell your members of Congress to stand up and fight back against this obvious, almost mocking corruption? Urge Congress to demand a Special Counsel be appointed to investigate unethical and likely illegal pay-to-play practices by Trump and his family.
We, the American people, deserve answers. Are these investments and “donations” from foreign nationals bribes? Are these invite-only cryptocurrency dinners selling influence to the highest bidder? Is Trump personally profiting from his administration’s policy decisions?
This isn’t just about one man – it’s about whether the rule of law still matters in the United States. If Congress doesn’t act now, it sends a chilling message: that presidents can sell access, ignore the Constitution, and face no consequences.
Not on our watch. Call on Congress today to demand the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate the Trump family’s financial corruption.
In solidarity,
"The Workers Circle"

Rump can’t even tell the truth about someone else’s election. Such a POS.
It appears rich people are very gullible and have money to blow/lose.
trumpf said in the tv interview that the parade is NOT for his birthday, it just happens to fall on the same day as his birthday on flag day.

Thanks Meidas brothers! Been saying all along that DT’s mental health has been declining, more rapidly in the past few weeks! Why is his family/wife (who must not speak or see him much) do something? And what about his physicians who have sworn an oath to care for the sick. Mental disorders are an illness that needs to be treated, shame on his family and physicians for doing their responsibility.

This regime is attempting and throwing so much chaos at Americans that they want us to start believing that this the status quo—ITS NOT!!!
We the People need to start writing up provisions to be added or enhanced descriptions to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We the People started this fight for freedom 250+ years ago against a king and tyranny, We need to keep pushing forward to keep our freedom, liberty & justice!
The woman on the right side of the screen is still trying not to side-eye Trump. She covers part of her face more often to conceal her actual reactions to what Trump says about the Trump as Pope image. She really regrets being in that room.

"Supreme Court allows Trump ban on transgender members of the military to take effect, for now."
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Donald Trump's administration to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.
The court acted in the dispute over a policy that presumptively disqualifies transgender people from military service, and could lead to the expulsion of experienced, decorated officers.
The court’s three liberal justices said they would have kept the policy on hold. (Continued)

Thank you!
A draft dodger receiving a $92 million military parade? Have we all gone through the looking-glass? When will his catchphrase become "off with their heads!"
Would Trumps "great parade " have a potential affect on our national security? So many troops, helicopters, tanks, etc all in a parade, basically unavailable should a crisis breaks out (unplanned or planned).
Not to mention the damage to roads from the heavy equipment.
Not to mention the $$$$$$$$ for the actual parade.
can't wait to see them parade a fkkking submarine.
Thank you Ben, what more can I say
, thank you.
Donald Trump even talking about dolls is disgusting and talking about baby girls despicable
This is right out of Project 2025!!
How many daughters even want 1 doll?
But Trumps kid gets whatever he wants right? What weirdo’s
If he hadn't been allowed a trial for his criminal activities he'd feel differently!
proposed gutting 20% of four-star generals.---things like this got Kennedy killed...also his firing cia and fbi operatives.
His speeches are getting more and more unhinged
How come I cannot fast forward, like on Youtube? I cannot stand to listen to that pig.
Is there a ball on the bottom you can drag? Sometimes if I tap around I can see that. I feel your pain, I have to limit how much I watch so I don't see that sickening face & disgusting voice when I am trying to sleep. Felon47 is an offense to humanity.

"CEO Makes Shocking Admission About Why He’s Buying Trump’s Meme Coin."
Trump and his cronies are far past even the most cursory efforts to pretend they aren't engaging in flagrant, widespread, pay-for-play influence peddling, but it's still shocking to see a CEO just openly admit to it.
Javier Selgas, the CEO of the Freight Technologies Inc. shipping company, has bought $20 MILLION worth of Trump's shitcoin, explicitly to try to influence his trade policy, telling the media that it is "an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the US."

"So much for law and order: Trump kills anti-crime task force."
Donald Trump’s Justice Department is reportedly moving to dismantle the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces—a decision that could grind thousands of criminal investigations to a halt.
Bloomberg reported Monday that the administration has ordered the Reagan-era task force, created to take down drug cartels, human trafficking rings, and transnational crime syndicates, to shut down by Sept. 30. Its Virginia-based fusion center will also close, and the unit’s 2026 fiscal year budget will be “zeroed out.”
The timing is bizarre. This is the same task force that helped capture Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán—the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, possibly the largest drug trafficking organization in the Western Hemisphere—and seize over $2 billion from criminal enterprises. Why shut it down? (Continued)

How much more damage will he do? Cant wait till midterms!!!!!!!!
Stuff we don’t need -47 = code for I want to pocket the money before me and our goons disappear to a safe haven….
Alcatraz was closed because it was rusting so badly. Literally. The metal bars, exposed to the salt air, were rusting. It is an interesting and historical tourist attraction. However, to use it as a prison, it would need to be rebuilt entirely at great cost -- only to rust again.
All those executive orders are actually decrees from an ersatz king. As he babbled incoherently about Alcatraz (and the way he says "lotta"), watch Mayor Bowser's face. She obviously is wishing for a fire drill or anything to get her out of there.

It was interesting to hear the cuts in mental health programs in different agencies because I just had an asshole screaming at me that high male suicide rates are because the Democratic party refuses to support men.

I knew Veterans suicide support was affected, but I didn't know a lot of other cuts. I appreciate what we hear here being backed by facts.

trump and family making all the money in the world because he's the president I didn't know you can make money as the president him and family are crooks fu"king no good ASSHOLE
This is my first time listening to this podcast and I love it. The guys are brilliant. I only wish that the younger brothers had a little more time to express their views, but either way, I wish all this goes, to paraphrase an expression, from their mouths to this nation's ears!
So hear is my big question after 100 days of shame and circus antics with this authoritarian Trump regime,what have we determined to be more dangerous to our Constitutional integrity, 1)MAGA sycophants with no ability to use an ounce of critical thinking or understanding of checking facts presented by this administration? or 2) Trump's absolute abandonment of his pledge to uphold the Constitution and his complete psychosis of wishing he was the new Adolf Hitler?
Any sane parent knows that kids are happy running around outside, creating forts with cardboard boxes and duct tape, camping inside with blankets and sheets for a tent, and exploring nature, while touching, tasting, smelling, listening, and seeing new stuff that triggers their imagination, their independence, and the ability to problem solve on their own.
The only losers in TRump's tariff trade wars will be the toy manufacturers with their overpriced outsized plastic toys in garish colors, cluttering up space and canceling out tranquil home spaces. Then there's the dolls or any other hot toy gone viral that pushes the insatiable consumer culture and makes gifting at holidays a parental nightmare. Not to mention, the tech toys that are addictive and brain grabbing, intentionally indoctrinating, manipulating, and mind controlling tools.
"35 dolls" is a scene in a horror movie - or - in an overindulged child's bedroom crammed with meaningless/useless objects by parents trying to relive their own unloved, unresolved childhoods.
So, let's get back to the real problem at hand. A convicted felon, who's been allowed to avoid prison sentencing via "election", while snatching people (no matter their citizenship status) off the streets or out of their beds at night, calling for prison hell for everyone else, without affording anyone else the same legal process and justice he and his ill gotten money takes advantage of.
So TOT (The Orange Thing) & the MAGA-heads are now saying over & over, that our economy is "in a transition period." So the entire USA is now trans!
"Trump’s so-called “economic plan” includes rationing dolls for little girls, jacking up prices, and telling working families to “shut up.” He floated imaginary trade deals, demanded tariffs on Hollywood movies" Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

Thanks for some news that isn’t in the news. Also to your points, he’s batshit crazy, and personally, I don’t think he’s in charge. Voight and Miller seem to be the ones pulling the strings.
"Reject Trump’s military parade now!"
The same week Donald Trump warned Americans they may not be able to afford toys for their children’s Christmas this year, he also announced plans for a $100+ million, four-mile-long military parade to be held in his honor to celebrate his 79th birthday.
June 14, 1775, also happens to be the day the Continental Army was authorized by Congress to hire riflemen, providing Trump with a convenient excuse to hold this parade on his actual birthday rather than, say, the 4th of July.
Other “strong men” who held military parades to celebrate their birthdays include Kim Jong Un, Adolf Hitler, and Saddam Hussein.
The whole exercise rings a bit hollow, given that Trump has just presided over the firing of more than 20,000 veterans and 250,000 civil servants, supposedly to root out “waste, fraud, and abuse.” But this parade is the very definition of waste.
Tanks rolling through the streets, fighter jets roaring overhead. Rows of heavily armed soldiers marching in lockstep -- not to honor the nation, but to celebrate the birthday of one man. This isn’t patriotism. It’s political theater with a huge price tag.
But there’s still time to stop this. It can’t happen without approval from Washington, DC officials. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Council have the power to reject permits, withhold city services, and demand repayment for costs the federal government would force onto DC taxpayers.
But it takes courage to stand up to the White House -- and that’s why Mayor Bowser needs to hear from us. Tell Mayor Bowser: "Say No to Trump’s $100 million war parade".
For Trump to celebrate the military is ironic, considering that he really doesn’t think much of veterans. The same week he announced plans for this parade, he also announced his plan to end Veterans’ Day, intending to rename it to “Victory Day for World War I” -- before taking back his extraordinary disrespect to the nation’s veterans a few days later.
But the litany of disrespect doesn’t stop there. He has called veterans “suckers” and “losers,” told aides not to invite a disabled veteran onstage with him, because “nobody wants to see that,” and insulted John McCain’s service in Vietnam, despite securing his own deferment, claiming to prefer “people who weren’t captured.”
If Trump actually cared about the military, he would prioritize services for veterans, rather than glorifying himself with a militaristic propaganda display.
Real strength doesn’t shout. It doesn’t roll missiles through cities. It shows up in service, in humility, and in the quiet, unshakeable commitment to justice. As the Tao Te Ching reminds us: “A military parade should be conducted like a funeral.”
Let’s honor that wisdom. Let’s stop this wasteful charade before it begins. Demand DC officials block Trump’s $100+ million military parade.
Thank you for standing up for American values, not glorifying despots with displays of arms.

They talk a lot about Goodell, but if you look at the face of Bowser, she looks appalled and wanting to be anywhere but where she is. She's trying to keep a straight face, but can't.

Well said, Jordy
Horse shit
The MAGA politicians fear us.
Trump and his regime know we’ve outflanked him on digital media.
The right-wing podcasts trail us by huge margins in monthly downloads.
While I enjoy the content of your podcasts and find them informative, the tone in which they're presented, I find stressful to listen to. There's a lot of sarcasm and distain in talking about him and his latest actions. I agree with your perspective, which is why I'm here, but would appreciate less condescension in how it's reported. The information would come across more effectively.
None of the segments were as much that way before & I have noticed as well in other publications that I thought were sometimes too neutral...what is being done now has become deeply personal for many people. To talk about what this regime is doing as if it's not distainful would be a bias that normalizes outrageous behavior. The difference with MTN is that feelings are not more important than facts, there are always receipts. Clips of Felon47 didn't use to shown in these podcasts, but it's so that we can judge for ourselves. And, honestly, there just isn't any way to get this information without it being upsetting. Sensationalism gets to me, too, but MTN is more than that.
Jesus H Fuck ...it is really a challenge to watch and listen to your fucking run on drama
This is total delusional shit... If products were made here, prices would be nuts. 789 bucks for 24 rubbers?
The White House insists that new tariffs will help close longstanding trade deficits (the U.S. hasn’t sold the rest of the world more than it’s bought since 1975), reinvigorate manufacturing in America and generate government revenue. But economists are warning of significant consequences for businesses, households and economies worldwide under the levies that Trump has proposed.
Why is everyone talking so fast? Weird!!!
Trump, escape from Washington.
Time for a do-over. Remove Trump and the entire succession line. Pull every judge and appointee, and have new elections. Oh, yeah - and reverse every single thing that was done. WHY is he still breathing?
Reducing world wide manufacturing can help the environment, unfortunately the orange brigade plan on destroying the environment with coal and removing restrictions. Sucks
Wanted to call attention to a matter just encountered
Encountering the AJPM(American Jewish Propaganda Machine)
Mehdi Hasan was fired from MSNBC because of his stance against the omnipresent AJPM They wouldn't dare also fire Ayman Mohedin as well....bad for optics....so they let him stay on But the clandestinely operated AJPM in American politics is a propaganda machine that has been quietly orchestrated to support the Jewish mission The American Defamation League is an arm of the AJPM lobbying for Jewish interests
I myself had an encounter with the AJPM yesterday over on Hopium Chronicles run by pacifist Simon Rosenberg He closely monitors and heavily iron hands his comment section so a free discussion about topics is impossible since he needs to control the narrative Since Simon has strong ties with the DNC Barbara in the comment section thought he could be influential in persuading the DNC to make a statement about the Palestinian crisis
It was at that point that the Jewish monitor lashed out at Barbara for her disreputable link to the genocide and chastized her for her careless comment Rosenberg claimed that all the terrorist groups were about instituting Israeli genocide(Holocaust fears relived) while Israel is directly responsible for documented Palestinian oppression and suppression When I agreed with Barbara's position and argued against the genocidal behavior of the fascist Israeli government Rosenberg banned me from posting for a month at which time I asked for my subscription fee refunded
The AJPM is real and rules the DNC and is why the D's wouldn't support the Israeli genocide issue in the 2024 platform I won't donate a dime to the DNC anymore and their stance is in part why their numbers are in the tank(27%) nationally
BTW the Kars for Kids commercial you may have seen is a front for Jewish charities Appears that the wealthy American Jewish diaspora are too cheap to fund their own charities so they surreptitiously ply the American Gentile for money
This is very interesting news...from 12 hours ago... Hey Benny and your band of Blowjob Beanie Brain Brothers: You are a blabbering hysterical old lady, and fucking third rate ambulance chasing lawyer..defending a no talent prick who desecrated the national anthem
"Convicted felon Trump is obsessed with putting other people in prison."
Donald Trump, on Sunday, said he wants to reopen the Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, to house "America's most ruthless and violent Offenders"—an asinine idea that critics say will cost an absurd amount of money.
In a Sunday night post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! (Continued)
