2:43So you can pack lunchboxes with peace of mind. Get back to school ready at Whole Foods Market. All hell is breaking loose as air sirens were going off in Poland as Russia was targeting western Ukraine. And it appeared that some of those ballistic missiles and perhaps drones could have been encroaching into Poland in the Lublin area. We know there was some massive strikes by Putin and Russia in Lviv in western Ukraine. But in eastern Poland, in the Lublin area, air sirens were going off all throughout the night. There was some conflicting reporting of ballistic missiles perhaps encroaching into Poland territory, although conflicting reports.

3:31What we do know is that there were a lot of people very worried in Poland over the fact that there could have been a Russian attack and that those attacks are moving closer to eastern Poland. Let me play for you some of this footage of the sirens all last night into the early morning. That can be heard in Lublin, Poland. Let me play this for you.

4:14Here's another angle of additional location where you heard those sirens sounding in Lublin, Poland due to a potential Russian military threat. Let's play it.

4:32Now you go a little more east or western Ukraine. That is, I'll share with you this insane footage from Lviv in Ukraine, where there were indeed confirmed massive Russian ballistic missiles and Shahid drone strikes, as Ukraine and Zelensky simply lacked the Patriot interceptors to be able to shoot down the ballistics from Russia. Ukraine indeed has the interceptors when it comes to drones, not the ballistic missiles. Donald Trump had previously promised that he was going to be providing these via a program with Europe where Europe would buy the interceptors. Trump didn't provide them, and the U.S.

5:18has now run very low on its interceptor stockpile as a result of the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Let me show you what it looked like in Lviv in Ukraine. You can see these direct hits for yourself. Let's play it. What?

5:44More scenes from Lviv, Ukraine, Western Ukraine. Again, pretty close to the Poland border. Let me share this with you. And I'll show you some more scenes right here from Lviv, Ukraine, where there were some casualties, tragically. You can see right here, obviously. and endured a bombardment of these Russian ballistics. Here play this clip. Now, it should be noted that Ukraine has indeed been striking hard in Russia. We've been covering here all of those direct hits on those Wildberry logistic facilities. For those who don't know, Wildberries is like the Amazon of Russia. They have these massive warehouses like Amazon does in the United States.

6:34And it's always been alleged that the Wildberries facilities are actually being used for a lot of military productions for the Russian military, for equipment, for drones, for transport, for other things. Let me share this with you. This was a direct hit over in the Penza facility. You can hear and see at night, Ukraine striking hard in Penza. Play this clip.

7:13You can take a look over here, a chart of the Wildberries facilities that have been destroyed in the past two to three weeks. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. About of the 20, more than 50 % of the Wild Berries logistical centers have been hit, some far worse than others. I just showed you that strike in Penza should also be noted in addition to Penza. There was also a Wild Berries in Ryazin that was hit as well. But let me just share with you some of the other views right here in Penza, Russia, after the Ukrainian drone impact. Let's play it.

8:03And another view right here. Let's play it.

8:16Let me talk about some other Ukraine direct strikes. The Perm oil refinery became the second Russian refinery attacked by Ukrainian drones in the morning after Ryazan. That facility can process 13.1 million tons of crude annually. You can see right here this ABT-5 primary oil processing unit at Luke Oil's Perm refinery on fire. I'll just play the B-roll of it after today's drone strike right here. Show you some more B-roll of what this looks like.

8:52Ben Meiselas:Let me show you this pair of Ukrainian Firepoint 1, these FP1 strike drones, flying over Ryazin in the morning during this attack. And remember, in Ryazin, they hit the Ryazin refinery, and they also hit a Wild Berries. and just take a look at what these drones looked like heading over. Let's play it.

9:29Now, here are some of the footage from the burning wild berries logistical hub in Ryazin, where a major fire continues across parts of the complex. Let's play it.

9:54you had to special Kirsten cat over there for the great aggregation over here footage of the burning wild berries logistic hub in Ryzen the blazes substantial had not engulfed the entire 173 ,000 square meters Kirsten cat explains but still very, very serious fire taking place. Let me share that with you so you can see it for yourself. Let's play it.

10:31If you've ever actually looked at the ingredient list on your dog's food, it gets pretty wild after the first ingredient. Half of it sounds like something from a chemistry textbook, and it got me thinking, If I wouldn't want to eat food packed with ingredients I can't even pronounce, why would I want that for my dog? That's one of the reasons that we switched to Sundays for dogs. Sundays is different. They start with 80 % plus all-natural meats, then add superfoods like kale, ginger, and blueberries, and gently air-drying everything instead of blasting it with high heat. It doesn't even look or smell like typical dog food.

11:02It looks like high-quality, human-grade jerky. No fillers, no nutritional blends, no chemicals, just simple, complete nutrition. It was founded by Dr. Tori Waxman, who created Sundays to meet her standards as both a veterinarian and a dog parent. And Mochi, my dog, absolutely loves it. Mealtime has become something she actually gets excited about, and I've noticed that she has more energy, her coat looks great, and I just feel better knowing that I'm feeding her real quality food. The other thing I love is, well, how easy it is. There's no fridge, no freezer, no prep, and no mess. You get the quality of a home-cooked meal with the scoop and serve convenience of kibble.

11:39It's really what dog food should have been all along. Over 100 ,000 dogs are already eating Sundays, and it's easy to see why. Make the switch to Sundays.

Now, here is footage or photo rather of the wild berries in Penza, right? There was a wild berries in Penza, wild berries in Ryazin, and then there was the attack on the Perm facility as well.

12:32Also, a Ukrainian shark drone located a Russian command post B-roll. It occupied in the Luhansk Oblast, enabling this GBU-64 strike right here I'm about to show you. At least 18 Russian personnel were killed, including several senior officers and dozens wounded, including Russian Colonel Stramenko Vadim Alexandrovich was killed in that operation as well. I'll share with you over here some footage from aboard a speeding Russian military train engulfed in flames after its fuel tanker convoy was struck over there. Now, there was strikes, as I mentioned, in Lviv was hit really hard. Kiev was hit hard.

13:24You can see right here in Kiev a massive fire engulfing the market stalls of Pechenia Street after a strike right there. I'll show you this in the Kiev metro area. This is what it looked like last night as Kyiv came under massive bombardment by these Russian ballistics. Let's play it.

13:59Now, it should also be noted the significance of those alarms going off, those sirens going off in Lublin. Indeed, President Zelensky was in Poland. He was in Lublin where he met with the Prime Minister Donald Tusk. They discussed many bilateral issues, including the historic dialogue between the countries. They spoke about the diplomatic work going on in Washington, talked about defense cooperation and priority issues for protecting the cities and communities from brutal Russian attacks. Zelensky says anti-ballistic missiles are a key priority. We separately discussed security challenges, which unfortunately also exists for our people.

14:45it is important that Ukrainians who left their homes due to the war and found refuge in Poland feel safe. Now, one of the red flags that I've been sharing is a bit paradoxical in a way, right?

14:58Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump recently appeared, but you can never go by appearances. You always have to look at conduct, not appearances, right? The appearances that Donald Trump seem more sympathetic to Zelensky. When Zelensky arrived, even though there was no meeting before the press, Trump had a bit of a different tone. The regime has been talking about a sanctions package against Russia, which was pushed through in the United States Senate. But you see, I've been raising a lot of red flags and I want to discuss them with you. Very important stuff here. Number one, everything Trump touches goes to shit or dies, excuse my language.

15:38Ben Meiselas:So when you have Trump and Laura Loomer and Tim Pool and all of them kind of switching sides and going from Russia to Ukraine, that intuitively raises my spidey sense. And I go, what's going on? What's really going on behind the scenes? And often it's, a lot of people can have, is there, I'm asking questions and I'm asking opinion-based questions to be clear. Is there money interest? Is there other motivations taking place behind the scenes or maybe just obviously in front of the scenes. But one of Donald Trump's tactics, and we talk about this in WTF America, by the way, pre-order it for October.

16:20Ben Meiselas:One of his tactics is he'll use all forms of manipulation in order to try to cause harm. And so sometimes he'll love bomb and he'll pretend I like you now, but that's just to try to draw you in and then screw you even more. So I said, okay, well, let's see what's actually happening. He may pretend that he has a better relationship with Zelensky, but ultimately that may be an effort for further manipulation in order to still hurt Zelensky. and ultimately Trump would be fine if Zelensky and Ukraine was fully taken over by Russia. So was it part of a more of an information gathering by Trump to get data from Zelensky to ultimately give to Putin?

17:07Ben Meiselas:We can't, not only can we not rule that out, I think we probably, in my opinion, should rule that at the top of something that if you let down your guard and you think Trump's helping, he can try to extract information from what's going on in the front. Tell me about this. Tell me about that. Zelensky, give me the information. And then he does one of those 90-minute talks with Putin. All right, here's what Zelensky told me. Here's what he told me. Here's what he told me. Here's what he told me. Lure him in and then give the info to Putin. I'm just raising that, in my opinion, as a red flag. Now, there were lots of people, too, I saw, you know, who were very critical of some of the Democrats in the Senate who voted against a bill in the Senate that was like in Lindsey Lindsey Graham's honor, right, to sanction Russia.

17:52Ben Meiselas:And there were a number of Democrats who voted against it. Like, why would you vote against it? Don't you want to sanction Russia? Well, if you actually read the legislation, one of the red flags is that it's an honorarium for Lindsey Graham. That should be a red flag right there, right? But when you actually read it, what it says is not that the sanctions against Russia are mandatory. It provides a discretionary tool for Donald Trump to impose tariffs against countries that Trump in his discretion claims interacts with Russia. So it's actually not mandating, as my reading of it, guaranteed sanctions against Russia.

18:36Ben Meiselas:It gives Trump the discretion to make the call and for him to exercise good faith, and that he has the capability of then wielding this to impose sanctions and tariffs on other countries that he deems are noncompliant. And so it's actually giving Trump options and not a directive. And that's why some people would say, why would you give, why would you hand him that? He's never going to act in good faith. And it's not if, you know, I think that all those Democrats would vote in favor of it if the law clearly said he's mandated on this date to implement these sanctions. That's my reading of it, but you may have a different reading of it.

19:19Ben Meiselas:And then my theory, though, my red flags, the spidey sense, I think was validated yesterday in the Oval Office when Donald Trump was asked about, you know, so are you going to give this to Zelensky? Are you going to give him the interceptor licenses that he needs? And by the way, the U.S. has depleted its interceptors in the catastrophic and unlawful war against Iran. The U.S. is out of like pretty much out. We still have some, but we were very low on our interceptor stockpiles. So he doesn't want to give it to Zelensky, but nor really could he at this point because of the stockpile depletion of Patriot, Pac-3s and THADs.

19:57Ben Meiselas:But Donald Trump's like, I want Zelensky to end this war. It's important for him to end it. End the war, Zelensky. Okay, if it's that easy, don't you think he would do it? For him to end it, that means give all of Eastern Ukraine to Russia. That's what Putin wants. Putin says, this is our area. We get Eastern Ukraine. And so what do you mean just end the war? That's your solution for this? The great deal man who said on day one, he would make peace and everything would be great. That's where he's at. Come on. Let me just show you what he says in the clip. Let's play. How was your meeting with President Zelensky yesterday?

20:37It was good. Did you see a time scale? No, it was good. Look, you know, he's out doing his thing. I'd like him to end the war. So it's very simple. I get along with both. I get along with President Putin. I get along with President Zelensky. And like I told him, I wanted to end the war, get the war ended. Thousands of people, 25 ,000 people died last month. That's standard. And it's not acceptable. So I said just end the war.

21:02Ben Meiselas:So anyway, I want to raise those flags for you, show you what's going on, give you the real-time images, because I just don't think this is getting enough coverage anywhere. And hat tip to Mac, hat tip to Kershon, hat tip to Jay and Keeve, hat tip to all of the open source intelligent folks who just do an amazing job, which is just so needed right now.
