2:21Ben Meiselas:A hellish morning for Donald Trump and frankly the entire world based on his pathetic and demented behavior. I'll show you right now the scene from Saudi Arabia as Saudi Aramco fuel tankers near Riyadh are on fire. They were hit hard overnight into the morning by the Ansar Allah in Yemen, by the Houthis over there. You can see these large plumes of black smoke. And yes, in addition, the Saudi Arabian King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was also struck on Sarawah. The Houthis said this is what they would do if Saudi Arabia continued to strike in Sanaa. Saudi Arabia's bluff was called and Riyadh was hit hard.

3:16Ben Meiselas:This is only further adding to the supply shock of oil right now. I'll show you just a comparison in a 24-hour period in Chicago, but this repeats in city after city. In a 24-hour period, you had the price of gasoline at$5.29 and then the next day$5.59. But if you paid by credit card,$5.69. And the day before, it was$5.39. You want to look at diesel. In a 24-hour period, it went up from$6.50. to 699. This is what happens when the Trump regime tapped the market along, trying to manipulate it with all of these schemes, when the reality on the ground in the Middle East and throughout the world, based on Donald Trump's catastrophic behavior, was to the contrary.

4:11Ben Meiselas:As we said on the Midas Touch Network, the algae always comes back. You can try to paint the reflecting pool blue and say, like a miracle, it's going to be great or say all the problems are going to go away, but you can't commit that fraud forever. The Ponzi scheme blows up. It's why the reflecting pool is a perfect metaphor for everything that is happening. But Trump is still in cover-up mode, right? As we have learned that the Trump regime has been covering up more deaths arising out of this catastrophic war in Iran as we learned that they were covering up that their use of AI chat bots almost started World War III, causing the US to be very close to striking a Chinese vessel because the AI chat bot told our military that there could potentially be like nuclear capabilities that were being transported.

5:09Ben Meiselas:And so fortunately, that strike didn't take place. And as we learned that F-35 component parts had found their way to Hong Kong. All this is being revealed and so much more. There's a lot of leaks from top military officials as Pete Hegseth is hooking up multiple Pentagon officials and military leaders to lie detector tests. The cover-up continues rather than just be honest with the American people about what we all know. The Trump-Netanyahu war has been a damn disaster. We should never have been involved in it in the first place. and we lost in epic fashion and all of the United States post-World War II power has been destroyed by the Trump regime, but they'll cover it up.

5:54Ben Meiselas:Their latest is we're going to ban CNN, Politico and MS now. That's weakness. It's not weakness masquerading as anything other than weakness and weirdness. A republic if you can keep it and the Trump regime said to hell with that. we want some deranged authoritarian idiocracy. So officially this morning, CNN reporters showed up to the White House. We knew about the ban yesterday to be clear. They showed up at the White House and the White House said, give us your badges. Get out of here. Same thing for MSNOW. Give us your badges. Get the hell out of here. What is Trump doing? What is the psychotic, lunatic vile piece of trash doing this morning here's what he posts this morning many people think that the words artificial intelligence are inaccurate and very ineloquent relative to ai or artificial intelligence the hell are you talking about you psycho a far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be superior intelligence or extreme intelligence or supreme intelligence or extreme intelligence.

7:09Ben Meiselas:This is a poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting, which is the best name for this ever-growing revolution, Donald J. Trump, searching for a new name for artificial intelligence while he tells the AI companies, you got this, regulate yourself, you got this. this is what you're doing this morning, right? It's a painted blue, American flag blue, Operation Epic Fury, man, lethality. We're just going to give things names, okay? Operation Economic Outcast. Okay, Economic Outcast. So anybody who does business with Iran, you're going to outcast. How about China? Not them, man. How about this? Not them, man.

7:50Ben Meiselas:It's all like bizarre, deranged reality show marketing crap. And it's like, dude, this is our country and you've destroyed our fricking country. It's just lunatic behavior. So the Trump regime trots out Maga Mike Johnson. Okay, I'm Maga Mike Flanders, your next door neighbor telling you everything is going good. So Maga Mike's like, don't worry. The war is coming to an end very soon. That's what we're going to tell our constituents before the midterms. Gee golly, gee golly, it's coming to an end, everybody. Here's what he says. Play this clip. Some took a vote, you know, for various reasons opposing that.

8:30But I think that this thing is in the last phase. I do believe it's going to come to a resolution quickly. And I don't think we need liberal Marxist Democrats in Congress trying to tell the commander in chief what to do with the military right now.

8:43Ben Meiselas:More for Maga Mike over here. I mean, this would be laughable if this war wasn't so damn catastrophic and is causing the American people to suffer. It's causing people in Iran to suffer. It's causing people all over the world to suffer. But you listen to what this idiot is saying and you're like, how does this person even exist as a human being? How could you go in front of a camera? You know, I think the term arising out of the fall of Nazi Germany, a term I've always heard was the banality of evil. The banality. I mean, there's the evil of evil, but there's also just the banality, the ogly-gogly Donald.

9:25Ben Meiselas:And that, to me, is MAGA Mike. It's also the weirdness of it, too. Play this clip of MAGA Mike when asked, at what point does Congress step in and address the war? Here, play this clip. of the authority under Article I, the War Powers Resolution. At what point does Congress step in and address this? Well, look, the administration doesn't consider this an ongoing war. It's not. They're trying to resolve an operation, Operation Epic Fury, which was an epic success. We had to take the head off the snake and make sure the largest state sponsor of terrorism does not have a nuclear bomb. Well, mission accomplished there.

10:00We took out their capability of that. And now it's in a diplomatic discussion and negotiation to resolve the remaining conflict. And specifically, it's about keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for commerce. That's an international waterway that Iran is trying to impede. Now, that's an interest of the whole world, and it's not an ongoing kinetic war. We're trying to resolve this conflict, and we need our allied nations to step forward. I think many of them will. We've discussed this before. But by my count, there's at least 25 major countries around the world, including NATO allies and Arab states in the region there, all of whom, by the way, have a bigger stake in the Strait of Hormuz being open for commerce than even we do, who can step forward and assist in that.

10:43So that's not a war effort. And we don't need to have liberal Democrats filing publicity stunt measures on the floor to try to get the commander in chief to do something in the middle of this very sensitive negotiation. So, you know, we voted against that. I did. All the republic, almost all the Republicans did. Then you had Dr.

11:01Ben Meiselas:Oz. It's all reality show people. Dr. Oz shows up this morning and he was like, oh, Donald Trump calls me at 5 a.m. He never sleeps. Dude, I showed people all the footage of him sleeping yesterday. All he does is sleep and be a predator. Here, play this clip. So what we did with the president's head, when he calls me at 5 in the morning, the most common thing he asks, by the way, is, are you awake? More for Maggie Mike Johnson who said, I got one more point I want to make you. One more point I want to make to you. This is the most productive Congress ever. Let's play this clip. We had a busy week here, as you just recounted.

11:38Over 70 pieces of legislation passed through the House just this week. And that adds to the number over 900 bills passed by the House so far this Congress. It's almost a record. Been very productive. And we had a lot going on here. So a lot to talk about. Now, you've let's talk about that for just a moment, because some of the media have criticized your comments. And this is the second most productive Congress that we've seen in terms of the activity measures that have passed out of the House. Yeah, it's the most productive since at least 1949. We're making an argument. It's probably in the top three or four of all time.

12:15If you look at the volume of legislation passed, the magnitude of it and, you know, all the reforms that we put in, it's really almost unmatched in history. And that's because, you know, we did what we said we were going to do. We made a lot of promises on the campaign trail in 2024 and we inherited an absolute disaster, as we've discussed so many times, from Biden-Harris, which meant every metric of public policy needed adjustment and repair. And so we did so much of it so quickly because we were well prepared for that. And that's what the numbers reflect.

12:45Ben Meiselas:Now, then Donald Trump trots out Pete Hegseth, one of the individuals who will go down in history as one of the sickest, most demented war criminals ever. As I said, he needs to be tried in The Hague, this war criminal. He's got blood on his hands of countless little girls and little children. I hope they haunt him in his sleep, this freaking sicko. And he goes, what we've proven, what we've proven, that we need leaders who know how to win. Okay, you're a bunch of losers. Here, play this clip. You see, in order to do that, we don't need globalist seminars. We don't need land acknowledgments. And we don't need to feel guilty about American power.

13:26We need lethal leaders who know how to win.

13:30Ben Meiselas:Hexit then goes, if you challenge the U.S. Armed Forces, defeat will be your end. What are you, like writing scripts for? Y 'all remember, I mean, I'm old enough to remember the movies that went straight to DVD or the straight to tape. Were you doing like dialogue like that? If you challenge us, dude, you lost to Iran. Who are you? You know, it's like they're running around with shit in their pants and they stink. And they're like, hey, everybody, how are you? It's like, dude, you shit in your pants. You stink. We all saw what happened. Stop acting like you didn't shit in your pants. excuse my language, but it's like, we know you took it.

14:09Ben Meiselas:We know what you did. You lost to Iran. Iran won. We all know Iran won. Stop the insanity, damn it. Here, play this clip. Certainly you're on notice that if you challenge the United States Armed Forces, defeat will be your end. And under President Trump, the world has learned that we only fight to win. Then it gets even worse. Then it gets even worse. Then you have this CENCOM commander, Admiral Brad Cooper. This guy, this guy's a lunatic too. I can't believe I'm saying this about a CENCOM commander, but he's turned the CENCOM account, social media account, into like a deranged truth social account, the official CENCOM account.

14:49Ben Meiselas:And he goes out there and he's like, the Strait of Hormuz is open. We have officially taken out a billion barrels of oil. We have demined it. It is amazing. Things are amazing. What world do you live in? We all see the gas prices. We know there's a supply shock. This is not what should be happening. Here play this clip. Hi, I'm Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, and I want to update you on the Strait of Hormuz and the incredible milestones that America's men and women in uniform continue to achieve. Because I'll tell you what they're doing in France and what they're doing in other countries, not what we just saw from Admiral Brad Cooper.

15:31Ben Meiselas:So France is running out of fuel. 11 % of France's stations nationwide are now out of petrol or diesel, one in nine with 16 % of stations short in grand estimated 15 % in Pays de L 'Or, 14 % in this area. The official count only registers stations as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all. So a station out of one grade but holding another is not counted, meaning the real shortage is much larger. French diesel is right now about$10.45 a gallon. Remember the video I did in the last 48 hours where I showed you all of these areas in the United States that are running out of diesel, that are out of diesel totally?

16:13Ben Meiselas:Remember how COVID just started in one area and then it spread to our shores? That is what is happening with the oil shortage crisis as well. And so Macron convened urgent emergency meeting over the energy crisis, saying that the prices at the pump have reached historic levels, that this is entirely due to the war in the international context, and above all, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Trump Netanyahu strikes on Iran. Macron says France did not choose this war, did not take part in it, that an agreement between Iran and the U.S. seems unlikely in the short term. We don't hold the keys to Hormuz.

16:49Ben Meiselas:He's convening a G7 meeting on energy in the coming weeks to coordinate stockpile levels, considering releasing more strategic reserves. Meanwhile, the US strategic reserves have been drawn down to all-time lows. I did a whole video on that where I described how the salt caverns are very close to actually being destroyed because of the amount of water that needs to be pumped in order to get the actual oil to kind of reach the surface through the process of how it's actually extracted. And then I did a video, the last video I dropped today was about how all of these European countries are also preparing for hybrid war in the coming weeks and months from Russia.

17:32Ben Meiselas:Frankly, it already is taking place, this hybrid war within Europe itself. But you have all of these countries, and I've even showed you Switzerland, saying they're preparing. France, Germany, the UK says they need to bring back their war book from World War II and to prepare for the type of resiliency of world wars. That's what we're seeing throughout all of Europe right now. Poland's prime minister, Tusk, all of this is happening right now. while Donald Trump's like, should I rename AI extra intelligence? It's like, dude, just, you're not equipped for this job. I don't care, Democrat, Republican, independent, we have a damn loser in the White House, someone who's bankrupted things his whole life, a fraud, someone who's been a snake oil salesman, a predator, a sexual predator, His whole damn life, he can't handle these issues.

18:27Ben Meiselas:That's not me saying this as a political person. Dude is not equipped. He's dumb. He's evil. He's malicious. He's a malignant narcissist. It's the worst of everything. And we're seeing what happens when you bring somebody into power who's like that. Enough. Meanwhile, you have NATO's military chief, Dragone. on he says basically yeah we're gearing up for at any moment's notice preparation for all-out war in Europe basically here this is what he has to say play this clip that's the that's are the meaning of the family of planet that we do have I mean our plans at the Eastern we have three plans over there but they are just to be ready in case of an escalation uh of course over there so it's there is something that there are action there are movement there are uh reactions that are supposed to be like everything is just pretty much standardized to make the decision process process as quickly and then we heard from ms now reporter and multiple other reporters who are trying to get into the white house today who were blocked from the white house let's play this clip i arrived here as i do many days of the week many weekends and I walked through the first entrance gate.

19:46I said good morning to the officers. I was able to walk through freely. Then I entered the second gate with no issues. I showed my badge. And then once I was inside where we have magnetometers, I attempted to scan my badge, which we have to do and able to get into the White House grounds. It did not work. There was a red beeping light. And so the officer asked me to hand over my badge. He said that it was disabled. I asked why I was not able to get inside. He said it was above him. And then our producer after me also scanned her badge and it actually worked. She was able to get through and into the White House.

20:21But I want to say not just me, but also our photographer had their badge taken this morning. Of course, after President Trump made clear that he wants to ban MSNOW, CNN and Politico. Yesterday, our journalists were able to stay here working on the White House grounds. This is the first action we know of of them actually denying us entry into the White House. Kayla, just to make sure I heard you correctly, you said your badge was denied, but another producer was able to get in? She was, and I asked, you work for the same network, how? Okay, an MSNOW producer, go on. Yes, an MSNOW producer, I asked, we are both with the same network, and they took a look at their computer, the two officers, and they said they weren't sure what was going on.

21:09But at the end of the day, they had to take my badge because it was disabled. And the officer again said it was above him.

21:15Ben Meiselas:Iran's foreign minister, Aragji, meanwhile, addressed the people of his nation. And he said the following. If international law is disregarded whenever the interest of major powers dictate, one can no longer speak of the rule of law. If human rights are an inherent right for some nations and a conditional privilege for others, they can no longer be called universal. What is taking place in Gaza is not merely a humanitarian tragedy. It is a test of conscience and collective responsibility of the international community. The slaughter of civilians, forced displacement, collective punishment, and the destruction of vital infrastructure have gone without effective accountability, have extended to Lebanon as well.

21:59Ben Meiselas:Decades of foreign intervention, military pressure, and endless wars in the Middle East have proven an undeniable truth. Military intervention does not create security and the exertion of pressure and coercion does not lead to peace. War has been normalized as a primary instrument of international relations and has led to the perpetuation of a pattern of perpetual confrontation and conflict. But folks, Donald Trump wants to know, should we rename artificial intelligence to EIA? Should we rechange the names to extra extreme intelligence? Ridiculous. Everybody hit subscribe.
