2:29Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump just abruptly canceled his meetings at Camp David. He returned to Washington, D.C. early. You can see him heading back there. There was Natalie Harp getting into Marine One when they were heading to Camp David. Here she is heading back into the White House with Donald Trump. She entered with somebody else, but right after Donald Trump got into the White House. This, as there have been multiple reports that Donald Trump is considering escalating the catastrophic war in Iran, which is just crushing the economy, escalating will only make things worse. There was some reporting that the US was actually preparing large-scale military operations against Yemen Houthis in retaliation for their restrikes on Saudi Arabia, and they attacked Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia was attacking Sana 'a, and so they said they would respond.
3:21Ben Meiselas:We were covering yesterday the strikes on Riyadh, specifically the international airport there, as well as some of the oil facilities there. Others are speculating that the Trump regime is mulling over plans to potentially strike pickaxe mountain in Iran, whether there would be these major coalition strikes against Yemen, or whether there would be widespread attacks against Iranian civilian infrastructure as Donald Trump gets more and more desperate, falling deeper into the escalatory trap. In reality, the Trump regime should just get the hell out of the region and try to salvage whatever they can of the memorandum of understanding because the U.S.
4:04Ben Meiselas:is out of munitions and the Trump regime sinking deeper into cover-up mode is not helping anyone. and it is just making matters worse. And so we've seen a number of things happen as Donald Trump canceled this Camp David meeting. So Trump heads back early. There's videos of B-1s taking off from the UK, and those B-1 planes were often associated with escalatory actions. The State Department issued fresh travel alerts to all US citizens in the Middle East. All countries in the Middle East got these alerts and Iranian security services reporting that they are on maximum alert. Specifically, Iran has issued code 100, its highest alert level for all armed forces in the past hour, covering the IRGC, the Army and Security Forces.
4:56Ben Meiselas:Also, we learned that Netanyahu cut short his trip to the U.S., canceled a planned stop in Texas, flying to New York and returning to Israel the same day during the United Nations General Assembly speeches, which will be taking place early next week. Let me show you what went down over here. This is the U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer strategic bomber spotted taking off from the Royal Air Force Fairford base in UK. Take a look at this. This is as Donald Trump cancels his meeting. And Cam David, here play this clip.
5:38I'm sorry.
6:09Ben Meiselas:Now, we also learned from a top French military official who told a paper there the following, France is already carrying out undisclosed conventional military retaliation against Russian hybrid attacks per a top French military source to Le Monde when asked whether France could retaliate militarily without publicly acknowledging it, this top military official responded, well, that's actually already happening right now. And so we also saw massive strikes in the past 12 hours in Moscow. I'm going to do a whole other video about these Ukrainian strikes in Moscow. This has a number of European countries, essentially every European country, says that Putin has prepared these hybrid attacks to bring the war in Ukraine further into Europe.
7:05Ben Meiselas:And then we saw these strikes taking place, though, in Moscow. Moscow was lit up. Let me show you what it looked like when this direct Ukrainian hit took place. This is a Ukrainian drone striking right into Moscow. Let's play it.
7:38Ben Meiselas:And Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Kapitanya oil refinery in Moscow. That's the city's only oil refinery with a capacity of around 280 ,000 barrels per day and a raid on the Capitol this morning. This comes only six days after Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine agreed to stop hitting Russian energy targets, that Russia likewise agreed it would stop striking Ukrainian infrastructure. And then you had Zelensky and Putin saying, we don't know what he's making this up. Watch for yourself what went down. Let's play this clip.
8:25Ben Meiselas:Meanwhile, while Donald Trump canceled Camp David meetings, while war is raging throughout the world, while European countries say they are preparing for World War III, essentially, while Russia is saying it is preparing for an invasion by Europe, we have this escalation taking place everywhere. People believe the Trump regime going to be either striking the Houthis in Sana 'a or in other areas throughout Yemen or doing more escalatory strikes on Iran. Donald Trump is posting things like this. top 25 Trump accomplishments of term three. And you just zoom in on some of these things. This is what he says is his top accomplishment.
9:04Settling eight raging wars with historic peace deal in first 12 months, including the war in Gaza. Everybody, the war in Gaza is over because the Trump regime says so. No, there are still tons of people who are getting slaughtered by
9:18Ben Meiselas:the Netanyahu regime in Gaza. Little children are getting slaughtered. We report on what happens there on their first day of school. We saw a lot of children getting killed by the Netanyahu regime. The genocide continues there. The Netanyahu regime slaughtering people in Lebanon, Beirut, southern Lebanon. The Netanyahu regime also escalating now in Syria. And they've been making a lot more statements suggesting that they do not want to see Syria have an alliance with Turkey or Syria start to improve its military capabilities. And also Netanyahu is saying, Trump regime, if you're giving F-35s to MBS in Saudi Arabia, we demand compensation.
10:01Ben Meiselas:And so you need to give us more military equipment. And we've already reported on here, I'm sure you know by now from watching the Midas Touch Network, the Trump regime has agreed to give billions and billions of dollars, at least$2.8 billion worth of massive, massive bomb. It's tuned the Netanyahu regime, these 5 ,000 pound bombs to further Netanyahu's genocide. And that's where US taxpayer dollars are going to while the price of oil is surging, the price of diesel is surging. I mean, at record highs now in every single day, you look and it's like 30 cents higher, 45 cents higher, 30 cents higher in 24-hour periods.
10:39Ben Meiselas:The Trump regime's ability to manipulate the market has totally failed. I showed you yesterday the Trump regime through CENTCOM, which has now just become this just ridiculous propaganda arm. They released that video where they were like, things are going great right now and everything is amazing. And we've helped escort 1 billion barrels of oil. It's like, stop, stop with this ridiculous lunatic behavior. Here's what that CENTCOM video this show. Let's play it. Hi, I'm Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of U.S. Central Command, here with an operational update on two ongoing missions in the Middle East.
11:15Many of our 50 ,000 U.S. troops operating across the region are doing outstanding work executing the naval blockade against Iran while maintaining commercial traffic flow through the Strait of Hormuz. As recently announced, the U.S. military has achieved a major milestone in the Strait of Hormuz. We have successfully cleared sea mines in the straits' international shipping lanes.
11:39Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump then posted the following as well. He said, over the years, there have been many hoaxes. Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, global warming, impeachment, impeachment, men and women's sports, transgender for everyone. He says, these are all hoaxes. And now he says, the big hoax, he says, is the crazed data center attack. He says, that's a hoax. People who are worried about data centers, he says, that's a hoax and it's crazy people who are attacking it. Trump says, so much so that in the same way they changed the term global warming to climate change in that it covers a much larger territory of doubt, they are going straight at AI.
12:20We will not in any way hinder or stifle the growth of this incredible industry. So Trump's saying people who are worried about data centers, that's a hoax. So now people are saying, we're actually not worried about data centers. We're worried about AI. And Trump says that we're going to make sure that we protect and cherish data centers. We will cherish it. We will help it. We will watch over the data centers, he says. And he says, for this purpose, I am forming the AI force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous success in my first term. To that end, I will be announcing in the near future, the AI czar, only high IQ individuals need to apply.
12:58So he's creating a branch of the military for AI. Let me also remind you that a recent report by Bloomberg talked about how one of the reasons the Trump regime slaughtered and engaged in these war crimes in Manab Elementary School, killing 168 little girls, little children in Manab is relying on the Palantir Maven. maven AI and over-reliance on AI was one of the reasons a Pentagon report says for the Trump regime's targeting of Manab and that the AI they thought would have eliminated targets that were not military targets, but that it confused it with IRGC targets. This also comes during a report about how the Trump regime almost struck a Chinese tanker because an AI chatbot told it to attack the Chinese tanker.
13:49And at the last minute, a decision was made not to strike the Chinese tanker. But this is what the Trump regime is doing right now. Meanwhile, Mark Wayne Mullen, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, went on state regime media, which calls itself Fox. And he basically described the Trump regime in a nutshell, I think, while trying to attack the Democratic Party. He says, the only way you can take a republic like the U.S. or a democratic country and make it into a communist country is by single-handedly making chaos and then coming back and saying, listen, it's not working. We need a communist party to come in and take it over.
14:24You mean like the arsonist destroying everything and saying, I alone can fix it, and then promising $5 ,000 checks to everybody, taking people's loaves of bread, dangling breadcrumbs, and not even giving the breadcrumbs to people? Is that what you mean? Like when Donald Trump says, Lenin, says you just promise everything and then you don't deliver. Sounds a lot like you, Mark Wayne Mullen. Sounds a lot like the Trump regime, Mark Wayne Mullen. Here's what he says, play this clip. It's scary to see what took place. And why I say that, Kayleigh, is because the only way you can take a republic like the United States of America or a democratic country around the world and make it into a communist country is by single-handedly making chaos and And then coming back in saying, hey, listen, it's not working.
15:12This Democrat policy or this Republican experiment, so to say, the United States isn't working. You need a communist party to come in and take over. We've seen that happen in a lot of countries. It's not happening in the United States because the Democrat Party was voted out of power because of the chaos that they were trying to create on our southern border.
15:34Ben Meiselas:By the way, I'm seeing this video circulate. This was actually a good use of AI. Good night and good luck. Here, play this clip. And it's very cool. Oh my gosh. Isn't that great? Just what up yesterday? Wow. Think Joe Biden would do this? I don't think so. Do you think he'd think of it? Do you think he knows what it is? Wow. And then finally, we learned that the Trump regime that wants to cherish and love data centers, They are now moving to build at least 12 more data centers on 17 ,600 acres of public land. The Washington Sun reports how the Trump regime is considering this proposal of data centers on all these national parks, far more than previously known.
16:24For example, there's a large proposal, a 10 ,200 acre data center from a nuclear startup, Velar Atomics, near Green River, Utah, which would co-locate a data center with nuclear reactors. Another case involves the Idaho-based firm Ria Data, which has proposed a 4 million square foot data center near Boise, powered by new natural gas facilities. Only one such project on federal land in Nevada has been approved so far, but they wanna push data centers on all these public lands and all these national parks. It's absolutely sickening, folks. Anyway, that's your update. I have a lot of videos coming this morning for you, okay?
17:05I'm gonna do another video, more information on what's going on in Moscow, okay? Then I'm gonna do a video on what's going on in Iran. Then I'm gonna do another video with Justin Wolfers, okay? Then I'm gonna do another video on state regime media Fox and what they're saying and how they're collapsing on live TV. Then I'm gonna do another video with Harry Litman.
