2:03My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

3:03Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump was crashing out all last night, first aboard Air Force One as he was heading back to Washington, D.C. He had this disastrous landing where he was ranting and raving like a lunatic about this horrific and disastrous and unlawful war in Iran. And then when he arrived, he started making social media posts after social media posts, these long paragraphs where he's like attacking the United States Supreme Court and then saying all US courts are so unfair to me in the Republican Party. He also says that anybody who says negative things about Mark Levin is a traitor. Donald Trump was also saying yesterday evening that if the media reports negatively on the war in Iran, that they will be found guilty of treason.
3:57Ben Meiselas:And he's going to go after any media company that speaks negatively about the United States war in Iran and how horribly it's going for Donald Trump in this war. I just want to go fact by fact, receipt by receipt to show you what's going down. And just to show you how bad it is right now, you have Iran's foreign minister, Aragji. He's been making CBS and other American media appearances and then reposting about it on his social media platform. And he's out there along with other Iranian leadership saying, Donald Trump is delusional. We are not involved at all in any ceasefire negotiations with Donald Trump or his regime.
4:42Ben Meiselas:We don't want any deal with him. He's literally a delusional person. That's where we've come, folks, where the Iranian foreign minister is calling the head of the United States military, the commander in chief, the person who's supposed to be the leader of the free world, who no longer is at all delusional. And then we have Donald Trump making posts and ranting and raving, begging China for help with the Strait of Hormuz and saying, well, I may not visit China if they don't help me. They're supposed to help me. And where are all the NATO countries that are supposed to help me? Where's all the G7 nations?
5:20Ben Meiselas:You attack them all, Donald. You betrayed all of your allies. You tried to coddle Putin and Xi Jinping and harmed your allies. And now nobody wants to help you at all. And the, and America has never been weaker. Look what the Iranian foreign minister, Aragji is saying. He goes, Iran has neither sought a truce nor talks. Such claims are delusional. Our powerful armed forces will keep firing until POTUS Trump realizes that the illegal war he's imposing on both Americans and Iranians is wrong and must never be repeated. Victims must also be compensated. Let's show you what Donald Trump was saying aboard Air Force One.
6:05Ben Meiselas:And I should also say while he was aboard Air Force One, we learned that in addition to building a golden ballroom, that's a 90 or a hundred thousand square feet. In addition to demolishing the East wing, as you know, he did. And the arch day Trump, he's building himself a golden arch we now also learned that donald trump wants to remove the columns on the white house and he wants to replace the iconic columns that have been there for 200 years with corinthian columns so he plans on ripping down the columns this is where his deranged head is at right now if you even want to i don't know what you even call it so let's go through these facts one by one right now.
6:47Ben Meiselas:So here's Donald Trump aboard Air Force One, and he's asked by a reporter, can you explain why it is that you're sending 5 ,000 Marines and sailors to Iran? Is it about the Karg Islands? Is there going to be a ground invasion? Because we know Trump's been telling people he's not ruling out a ground invasion, and he's looking more and more like a ground invasion. So tell us, Donald. And Trump just starts yelling at the reporter and goes, you're very obnoxious. Just a note here, Trump is aboard Air Force One when he's saying this, so it's a little hard to hear. But the question is, can you explain why you're sending 5 ,000 Marines and sailors to Iran?
7:26Ben Meiselas:And Trump goes, you're a very obnoxious person. I need to show you the receipt, so listen carefully, but let's play this clip.
7:40Ben Meiselas:Next, a reporter asked Donald Trump. Do you have a comment on the six service members who died last week in the big strato tanker refueling jets? Any comments? Then Donald Trump goes, I'm not answering that. Next question. Next question. Watch for yourself what happened. Play this clip.
8:10Ben Meiselas:Next, a reporter says that, or asked Donald Trump, your political action committee has been sending out fundraiser emails using you at the dignified transfer, wearing a Trump campaign hat, and you're raising money off of these images of yourself at the dignified transfer where the bodies of soldiers in coffins with American flags over them are returning as American soldiers are dying. Do you think that's appropriate? Trump goes, I do. I didn't see it. Who are you with? And the reporter says, ABC. And Trump goes, I think that's maybe the most corrupt news organization on the planet. I think they're terrible.
8:53Ben Meiselas:I don't want any more from ABC. What a whiny and pathetic loser. Here, play this clip.
9:22There's nobody that's better to the military than me. And what you have to do is look at the election. Look at the election results. Look at the kind of votes that we get. Look at the poll numbers. There's nobody that's ever been hired as a president than me with the military. Can you give us honor to the U.S.? Do you? One of the worst ones on the main coast. You know what ABC is? I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations. I think they're terrible. I don't want anyone to make this.
9:59What's Israel different to hell?
10:01Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump says that he believes it's criminal if you put out information that he doesn't like about how bad the war in Iran is going right now. Here, play this clip.
10:35Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump then says, I don't even know why we're in Iran. Basically, he's like, you could make the case that maybe we shouldn't even be there at all. Because he was saying, it's so unfair that lots of countries don't want to help us now in the Strait of Hormuz. And he was like, why are we? We're there because you launched an invasion of them because you were following Netanyahu into this war. That's why. And now you've gotten the entire Middle East engulfed in a war of your choice at this point, and you're losing. And you're making the United States look like a loser nation right now, just as you've been a loser your entire life just as you've bankrupted casino after casino your whole life has been spent as a loser you were never a deal maker you're a deal breaker you're never a builder you're a destroyer and now you're seeing how he bankrupted so many companies in real time except now the united states is suffering because people voted for this guy when we tried to warn you.
11:32Ben Meiselas:Here play this clip.
12:07Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is next asked about the war against humanity by the United States, destroying the elementary school in Iran, killing over 150 little girls. The Epstein class that preyed on little girls and are covering it up as the DOJ covers up a child sex trafficking ring, began the war in Iran by blowing up an elementary school of little girls. Seems like a common theme here of being predators with little girls. Oh, you see for yourself. Trump's like, we don't. So the question is, on the Iran school, it looks like it was the U.S. What do you say, Donald? I mean, it doesn't look like it. It is the U.S.
12:44Ben Meiselas:Our intelligence community acknowledges it was us. Stop with the, it looks like it was. Donald Trump goes, we don't know. That's still under investigation. Here, play this clip.
13:07Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump starts talking about Cuba, how we're either going to make a deal with Cuba or we're going to invade Cuba. All I know is that whatever they're covering up in the Epstein files right now that they're doing, we're going to go into another war with Cuba. These people are deranged, impeach these lunatics now. Here, play this clip. Thank you very much. You're talking to Cuba. What do you want to hear from them? Well, I am holding Cuba. Cuba's a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal. And I think we will pretty soon either make a deal or do whatever we have to do. We have a lot of great people that happen to vote for Trump.
13:49Nothing that matters, but we have a lot of great people from Cuba that were violently and viciously thrown out of the country. And worse, their families were killed. and so we're talking to Cuba but we're going to do a rant before Cuba what is the difference you know people have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba when I left on Beach today there were thousands of people on the road I'm sure you saw them and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela all friendly waving the flag waving the American flag they've been waiting 50 years for what's happening with Cuba so I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly
14:29Ben Meiselas:Now, I'm not going to read for you all of these messages because they're so unhinged. Let me just show you what they look like. And he's been sending like a dozen of these all last night. Just look at what it looks like. Here's another one. Here's another one. Here's another one. So just think about this image. He was like walking around Mar-a-Lago or his West Palm Beach golf course, or he's like walking around slumped and hunched over, walking around Air Force One or when he's back in DC, like typing these things. I'll give you some examples of what he says here. He goes, Iran is a master of media manipulation and public relations.
15:10Ben Meiselas:Now AI has become another disinformation weapon that Iran uses quite well, considering they are being annihilated all day. So Trump says all of these videos that we see of Arab nations, I'm not going to read the whole thing. You can read it for yourself if you want to. So trust me, I'll tell you what it says. all these videos that we see of Arab nations being hit with Shahid drones and ballistic missiles. Donald Trump says that's all AI. All of the missiles we see striking northern Israel, Donald Trump says that's AI. All of the big parades that we see in Iran supporting the Ayatollah, Trump says that's all AI.
15:46Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump says that he's going to go after media that doesn't report on what he wants them to report for treason, and he will do treason trials for any media that doesn't report that America's decimated Iran. I mean, you read it for yourself. That's what he says. Then he goes on to say, Mark Levin is a truly great American patriot. He's strong and he's brilliant and he's really MAGA. And so if you don't like him, you're not MAGA. I am. I am MAGA. And MAGA includes not Iran, a sick, demented, violent terrorist regime from having nuclear weapons. So you have to support Mark Levin right now.
16:29Ben Meiselas:If you're MAGA, it's Mark Levin. It's neocon on steroids. By the way, calling these maniacs neocons doesn't do it like even a fraction of it. These are neocon on steroids times a thousand. I don't even know the right language to refer to these people, except the United States is being run by a terrorist regime of predators covering up child sex trafficking. You come up with your own language. That's what I say. Look what he's writing over here. Our country was unnecessarily ransacked by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust political organization.
17:10Ben Meiselas:We've been ransacked by the Supreme Court, he said. The right-wing Supreme Court, he says, is an unjust political organization that's ransacking us. Then he goes on to post, the courts treat Republicans and me so unfairly, always seeming to protect those who should not be protected. They are highly politicized. Cases don't matter. The judge does. As an example, how is this absolutely terrible Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Tulate Powell not even allowed to be investigated for the horrible job he does? As you know, a district court judge in Washington, D.C., quashed the unlawful subpoenas by the Trump regime as they tried to attack the chairman of the Federal Reserve because they did not like that he wasn't lowering interest rates.
17:56Ben Meiselas:So as we're going through an economic calamity, which has been exacerbated by Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran, Donald Trump is whining about the courts being mean to him for not going after the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Folks, This is someone deeply sick, deeply disgusting, deeply unstable. And you see for yourself, by the way, he's deeply weak. He's begging China like a dog, begging China like a dog for help right now. And he's like, they're not helping me. Donald Trump said he could delay his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping if Beijing doesn't help unblock the Strait of Hormuz.
18:42Ben Meiselas:The Financial Times reports, citing an interview with Donald Trump. Dude, China's not on your side, you idiot. How many times do you need to say it? The alliance is China, Russia, North Korea, Iran. That's the alliance. Frickin' Zelensky's trying to help you with anti-drone interceptors and satellite intelligence about how to deal with these drones. And over the past 24 to 48 hours, You just keep on attacking Zelensky. I don't want his help. I don't want his help. You've removed the sanctions against Russian oil, enriching Russia to help Iran attack the United States and the Arab nations in the area where there are American interests.
19:27Ben Meiselas:Do you realize how utterly dumb that is? Iran is mocking the so-called security umbrella that the United States promised. We're seeing all of these Arab nations, some publicly, some privately, saying, what the hell did we get out of our quid pro quos with Donald Trump and our pay-for-play scheme? We thought we were buying protection, but we've just been defrauded by Donald Trump. He's left us utterly vulnerable. So you have these Arab nations directly trying to negotiate with Iran right now. And Iran is trying to create new security frameworks to further entrench their power long term. As you know, have the Ayatollah's son, Mujahideen, more extreme than the Ayatollah in charge.
20:12Ben Meiselas:And you have the regime in Iran largely intact right now. And so Trump just goes on. He continues to whine to the Financial Times. NATO nations face a very bad outlook if they fail to seriously aid in efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz amidst the ongoing conflict between Iran and U.S. Israel. And I may cancel my trip to China. Okay, you shouldn't be going to China anyway for a state visit right now. By the way, you don't even have the ability to create the preparations in order for you to do that right now. So what are you even talking about there? Let's go, you know, and then he goes on to whine about these other countries as though they face a very bad outlook.
20:57Ben Meiselas:you're the reason that they face a very bad outlook because you're the one who started this war that now has engulfed all of these that you're blaming the others that's just what sociopaths do and that's exactly who you are so that's what donald trump was doing i'm going to do another video in about 90 minutes where i focus on the global fallout because there's basically no countries who want to help donald trump in these straight-up form moves right now at all So I'm going to go over in a little bit. Watch my next video. Japan, Germany, and France, and Australia, and others say, we ain't going there, Donald.
21:36Ben Meiselas:And here's what I want you all to focus on as well. Right now, we're all focused about the Persian Gulf, right? The Strait of Hormuz. Focus on the Red Sea. because right now, the Houthis in Yemen, they're just ready to go. They're waiting for the order from Iran. They've lured in all of these ships that were supposed to go through the Strait of Hormuz. And now they're like, oh, I guess we should go to the Red Sea because maybe we can sneak our oil there. It's obviously a trap. The most basic military logistical person will take, It's clear that Iran is setting a trap in the Red Sea, but all these ships going right in there right now.
22:19Ben Meiselas:And the Houthis are saying that they're ready to, you know, on a moment's notice, shut down the Red Sea. And we know they have the capabilities of doing that. We've seen them do it in the past few years. They just stopped recently because Iran told them to, you know, press pause while they were negotiating with the U.S. Watch what happens in the Red Sea soon. And of course, you know, the price of oil is surging.
