1:23Ben Meiselas:Small, pathetic, unhinged. Donald Trump looked absolutely awful as he was landing in Washington, D.C. He was spewing this bloodlust about taking over Greenland and Cuba and Colombia and Mexico. Right by his side on Air Force One was Lindsey Graham, who was also like foaming out the mouth. They had Howard Lutnick there foaming out the mouth. Such a bizarre scene right here. Let me show you what happened as Donald Trump was just spewing this imperialistic adventurism, but he looks so weak doing it as well. Donald Trump said he coordinated the invasion of Venezuela with all of the oil companies before and after.

2:15Ben Meiselas:He said all the oil companies are aware. They're ready to get their hands on that beautiful Venezuelan oil. Here, play this clip. These people then before and the operation took place. Yes. Before and after. And they want to go in. And they're going to do a great job for the people of Venezuela. And they're going to represent us well. Now, it shouldn't be lost on any of us that the deadline for Trump's DOJ to provide the Epstein redaction explanations and a report on the document review on the Epstein files was due yesterday. They blew that deadline. And now I guess Trump's plan to cover up the Epstein files is just invade every single country in the Western Hemisphere.

3:02Ben Meiselas:Let me show you what else he talked about as well. While he was on Air Force One, Donald Trump said the oil companies from America, they're going in. We're taking back what Venezuela stole. He says, Venezuela stole all of our oil and we got to take that big, beautiful American oil in Venezuela back. Now, Venezuela didn't steal our oil. The oil in Venezuela belongs to Venezuela. Let's be very clear about that. But this is what Donald Trump is spewing. It sounds exactly like Putin. Here, play this clip. The oil companies are going to go in and rebuild their system. They're going to spend billions of dollars and they're going to take the oil out of the ground and we're taking back what they saw remember they stole our property it was the greatest theft in the history of america nobody has ever stolen our property like they have they took our oil away from us they took the infrastructure away and all that infrastructure is rotted and decayed and the oil companies are going to go in and rebuild it we're not going to spend very much money at all if anything but the oil companies are We're going to go.

4:13We're going to take our oil back.

4:15Ben Meiselas:Next, Donald Trump is asked, well, so are you going to demand that Maduro's right hand, Delce Rodriguez, who's now the acting president, are you going to ask that she holds free and fair elections so that, you know, someone like Maria Machado or Edmund Gonzalez gets to run and there could be democratic elections? Trump's like, no, that's not what we're focused on. We're focused on the oil. Have you not been listening to us? We want to have our own authoritarian Marxist puppet there so we can take the oil. Don't you get that? Trump's actually saying those things, okay? I'm not being hyperbolic.

4:55Ben Meiselas:I mean, listen to what the guy is saying in his own words. Here, play this clip. Go ahead. No, are you going to demand that Del C. Rodriguez let opposition figures return or free any political prisoners? We haven't gotten to that yet. Right now, what we want to do is fix up the oil, fix up the country, bring the country back and then have elections. We better bring the country back. Otherwise, you're just going to have a mess. It's so bad. It was really bad. It's going to get a lot worse unless we go in and fix it. So next, a reporter asked Donald Trump, so what is it that you need from Delce Rodriguez, is the current president of Venezuela.

5:35Ben Meiselas:Trump says oil, access to oil. That's what we need. We need their oil. Have you not heard me? We need their oil. This is what he says in his own words. Here, play this clip.

6:03A lot of things. Roads that aren't built, bridges that are falling down. Yeah, bridges that are falling down. Nobody can go anywhere.

6:12Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump says, and we're coming for Greenland next. He goes, maybe not like tomorrow, he says, but in the next two months, we're taking Greenland. And he says the European Union is going to give it to us because they want us to have Greenland. Then Donald Trump lies and says, you know, China and Russia, they have their boats all over Greenland. So Greenland just needs to become America at this point. Now, I'm going to do a whole other video on this in about 90 minutes or so on the Midas Touch Network. So check back. But you have all of these nations in Europe now, you know, speaking out against Donald Trump, the prime minister of Denmark, the prime minister of Greenland said, You better stop talking about that because you may actually start a war right now with Greenland and Denmark and the European Union.

6:58Ben Meiselas:Here's Donald Trump saying we need Greenland. Here, play this clip. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days. By the way, I have to I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you. You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security in Greenland? They added one more dog sled. It's true. They thought that was a great move. What would the justification be for a plan to Greenland?

7:45Oh, I don't want to talk about Greenland now. I just say this. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security and the European Union needs us to have it. And they know.

7:58Ben Meiselas:Next, Donald Trump is asked about Delce Rodriguez calling what Donald Trump did to Maduroi kidnapping. And Trump goes, yeah, I like that term. We kidnapped him. That's what we do. We kidnap leaders now in the United States of sovereign countries. Here play this clip. Any kind of peacekeeping. I think Americans are very. It depends. It depends on what happens. It depends a little bit on the new administration, if you want to call it. So do you see that pushback from Rodriguez and ultimately. I don't think it was pushback. I think that she. Well, you know, you hear a different person than I hear.

8:30Really? So you have spoken with her. We talked to him. Oh, you did speak. They've been very good. Because she called it kidnapping of Maduro. It's all right. It's not a bad term. Go ahead.

8:40Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump is asked if American troops will be on the ground in Venezuela soon. And Donald Trump says maybe. We'll see if Delce Rodriguez doesn't give us all of the oil. Yeah, we're going to put American boots on the ground. Absolutely. Here play this clip. That's off the table now. No, it's not. If they don't behave, we will do a second strike. The question is that the American troops, are they going to be on the ground? They're doing any kind of peacekeeping. I think Americans are going to - It depends on what happens. It depends a little bit on the new administration, if you want to call it.

9:12Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump says, you know, we have very sick neighbors. He goes, and by the way, it's all projection. Trump's a sick guy, right? I mean, Trump's a sick, vile piece of trash of a human being, a felon, a sexual abuser. I mean, Mar-a-Lago is basically the hunting grounds for Jeffrey Epstein, right? In my view, Mar-a-Lago, in my opinion, was the crime scene where underage girls were sex trafficked like Virginia Giuffre. And Trump says, oh, you stole my property, right? So Donald Trump's projecting right here, But he goes, we have sick neighbors. He goes, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, we're coming after them.

9:47Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip.

10:11and he's not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you.

10:13Ben Meiselas:What does that mean? He's not going to be doing it very long. He's not doing it very long. He has cocaine mills and cocaine factories. He's not going to be doing it very long. So there will be an operation by the U.S. It sounds good to me. You know why? Because they kill a lot of people. Then you have Lindsey Graham foaming from the mouth. He goes, just you wait, Cuba. Your days are numbered. I mean, what is this? I like you're taking like the dialogue from like corny B list movies to be like the bad guy. We're coming for you next. I mean, this is so pathetic and weak here. Play this clip. And as to this commander in chief, he did something people talked about doing.

10:56You just wait for Cuba. Cuba is a communist dictatorship that's killed priesthood nuns. They preyed on their own people. Their days are numbered. We're going to wake up one day, I hope in 26, in our backyard, we're going to have allies in these countries doing business with America, not narco terrorist dictators killing Americans. This is a big frigging day. And everybody in the world is thinking differently than they were just a few days ago because of what you did.

11:29Ben Meiselas:Then Lindsey Graham says, let's be clear, this is not interventionism. He goes, this is not intervention. We're going to be more prosperous because of business deals. This is what it's all about. Business deals. Here, play this clip here. You take down the source of the problem. President Trump didn't wake up one day and say, hey, let's take Venezuela. He did what other people talked about but didn't have the balls or the guts to do it. This is a good thing. This is not interventionism. This is making America safer. We're going to be more prosperous because of the business deals. There are going to be Americans alive today because they shut down a narco terror state called Venezuela.

12:17This is a good thing, not a bad thing.

12:19Ben Meiselas:Then Trump says, but this is what my voters wanted. They want war. He goes, this is what MAGA wanted. When I said, no war. MAGA said they want war. So we're going to go to war with all of the Western Hemisphere. Trump goes, that's the Don Rowe doctrine is what he calls it. We need to dominate control and go to war with everybody in the Western Hemisphere. Here, play this clip. The voters that voted for me, yeah. Let me just tell you, the voters that voted for me are thrilled. They said, this is what we voted for. More from Lindsey Graham right now. And he's like, did you see what happened, Cuba?

12:58Ben Meiselas:Maduro got his ass handed to him because he didn't listen to Trump. So Cuba, we're going to hand you your ass or something. He likes talking about ass, apparently. He likes talking about, I won't go there. Just play this clip. So if you tell people in Cuba, you need to stop being a communist dictatorship, threatening America. You should go somewhere else. You better take the offer. Maduro has nobody to blame but himself. He gave him a way out. He chose to defy Trump and the U.S. military and his ass is in jail where he deserves to be. And every president has said the same thing, but he didn't.

13:41Ben Meiselas:Then a reporter says, so are there any other companies that you've been talking about doing business deals with in Venezuela, then Trump likes many. We're talking about putting American companies there, taking all of their resources. That's what we're going to do. And then Howard Lutnick goes, yeah, this is what we're going to do. We're going to take their steel. We're going to take their minerals. They have a great mining history. All of that's going to be ours now in the United States. We're going to steal the resources of Venezuela. And again, they sound like the bad guys in movies. I mean, again, I'm not being hyperbolic.

14:17Ben Meiselas:Like, I'm literally just telling you the words that they're saying. This is what Lutnik says. Here, play this clip. It's a disaster. We've got to fix the country fast. President, are there going to be any more? Are there any other companies that you've talked to about dealing with Venezuela? Maybe Mr. Lutnik can talk about that. Are there any other corporations, entities outside of the oil? Many outside of the oil business. Well, the oil business, yes, but outside, yes. Howard, you want to tell them? You have steel, you have minerals, right? All the critical minerals. They have a great mining history that's gone rusty.

14:52So steel, aluminum, minerals, I mean, this is all, it's rich. It was once upon a time one of the great economies and cultures of the world, and it was destroyed. And now President Trump is going to fix it and bring it back. Before the veterans will. But it's not easy. It's really got bad. But it's got potential. What? We need any rare earth minerals. They have rare earth, but everybody has rare earth. Rare earth is not rare. What's rare is the processing. We're doing processing plants all over. There's no such thing as rare earth. Rare earth is everywhere. What isn't everywhere is the processing of rare earth.

15:31And we have a lot of places going up right now. One thing we haven't heard you specifically were at.

15:36Ben Meiselas:Then Trump threatens Mexico. And by the way, then President Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico had to respond to Donald Trump defending the sovereignty of Mexico. And then we saw the president of Colombia respond defending the sovereignty of Colombia. Anyway, here's what Trump says about Mexico. Play this clip. By the way, you have to do something with Mexico. Mexico has to get their act together because they're pouring through Mexico and we're going to have to do something. We'd love Mexico to do it. They're capable of doing it. But unfortunately, the cartels are very strong. Then Donald Trump goes on this bizarre tangent about how he predicted 9-11 and he told everybody go after bin Laden.

16:18Ben Meiselas:And then he turns to Lindsey Graham and he's like, you know, I told I warned everybody about bin Laden. There wouldn't have been a 9-11 if I was around. And Lindsey Graham's like, OK, boss. OK, boss. I guess you're right, boss. I mean, right, like, isn't it, isn't he the stooge next to the bad guy, you know, in like every corny cartoon, like I grew up with. Okay, yeah, boss, I guess that's what you do. You stopped 9-11, boss. Here, play this clip. By the way, you know, you mentioned something that's interesting. Lindsay mentioned bin Laden. Do you know, I wrote about bin Laden one year before the attack on the World Trade Center.

16:53And I said, you gotta go after bin Laden. It was in my book. and very few people want to say that, but it was in my book. You know that, I think. You've actually talked about it. But if they would have had, if they would have listened to me, they would have taken out bin Laden, then you wouldn't have had the World Trade Center tragedy. Yeah, this is certainly going to happen. Did you know that? I predicted bin Laden. I learned something every day. No, but did you hear that? Well, I did now. I just heard it right now. No, I wrote a book. It was one year before the attack.

17:24Ben Meiselas:What a bunch of freaking clowns these people are. By the way, the Washington Post is reporting the following recent comments made by Donald Trump dismissing the Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as the person to replace Nicholas Maduro, stating that she doesn't have the support or respect needed to become the president of Venezuela stem from her recent decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award that Donald Trump craved. Two people close to the White House told the Washington Post that Machado's acceptance of the prize was an ultimate sin to Donald Trump, despite her having dedicated the award to Trump and time again having complimented Donald Trump.

18:09Ben Meiselas:And she said all of the Donald Trump lies about the 2020 election. She was a Trump bootlicker because she thought that's how she was going to get into power in Venezuela. But she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize and all of the sources close to Donald Trump say that's why he's supporting Maduro's right hand, Delce Rodriguez, to be his little authoritarian pawn right now, trading one Marxist authoritarian leader for another and not picking Machado. Quote, this is from Trump's inner circle to the Washington Post. If she had turned down that Nobel Peace Prize and said, I can't accept it because it's Donald Trump's, she'd be the president of Venezuela today.

18:47Ben Meiselas:But she took that award and then Donald Trump can't handle that. That's what multiple sources are saying. Also, it should be noted the following. Robert Pape from the University of Chicago, one of the top professors on this topic, just stated the following as well. Venezuela is primed for resistance to U.S. controlling the oil. Perfect terrain for insurgency. Plenty of armed groups already. Far worse than Iraq. Chaos is coming. And Pape is one of the greatest living experts on insurgencies, as Zai Jelani explains. So there you have it, by the way. I mean, it should also be noted as well that, at least publicly, Delce Rodriguez is out there saying that, you know, only Maduro is the real leader.

19:39Ben Meiselas:And, you know, Trump kidnapped him and it's illegitimate. it. But lots of people believe that, you know, she and Trump are, and you heard what Trump was saying too. It seems like they're having secret conversations behind the scenes as well. And that's what Trump wants, his own authoritarian pawn there. He doesn't want democracy there. He wants their oil. You heard him for yourself. And by the way, how weird did Lindsey Graham sound? Like, oh yeah, boss. I mean, what pathetic people. I can't believe this is the United States. I guess I can at this point. But as I've said before, this must be what it feels like to live in Putin's Russia.

20:14Ben Meiselas:We the people need to stand up to this crap. We the people need to let our voices be heard. This is absolutely outrageous. By the way, see how awful Donald Trump looks? Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.
