1:05Ben Meiselas:Ukraine isn't messing around, although Donald Trump is messing around. What you saw right there was an explosion at a Russian grad unguided rocket MLRS in the occupied Donetsk region. Ukraine is striking inside those regions and deep inside Russia as well. What is the Trump regime doing? They were withholding key Patriot missile systems to Ukraine only for Donald Trump to then claim that he didn't know his own regime was withholding it from Ukraine. And then the Trump regime blamed Pete Hegseth, the former Weekend Fox host, and said that Hegseth did it on his own without consulting anybody. It was even worse than that, because at the disastrous press conference that Donald Trump held yesterday when he was asked by Caitlin Collins of CNN, hey, who ordered that those Patriot missiles and other weapons stop going to Ukraine?

2:06Ben Meiselas:Who ordered it? Donald. Donald Trump goes, I don't know. Why are you asking me? I don't know. Here, play this clip. So who ordered the pause last week? I don't know. What did you tell me? I should think that's a question. Go ahead. What the hell kind of answer is that? And here's the story from CNN. Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized a pause on weapon shipments to Ukraine, sources say. So let me just get this straight. Here's someone who is putting his war plans on signal. This is the second time, if you take Trump's own admission, that Hegseth has withheld weapons without Trump knowing about it, yet this guy remains the Secretary of Defense.

2:47Ben Meiselas:No. The buck stops with Donald Trump. And in this kakastocracy, this despicable and incompetent regime, this substitutes for the norm and never normalize it. Speaking about what we should never normalize, OCCRP got the following exclusive. Top Trump advisor, Sergio Gore, his name ain't Sergio Gore. He was actually born inside the Soviet Union. The birthplace of Trump's director of personnel, one of the top positions in the White House, has been the subject of media speculation until now. He's been called by many in D.C., the most powerful man you've never heard of. Okay, where is he from? The Times of Malta and OCCRP have obtained a notarized Maltese property record that shows Gore's origins.

3:38Ben Meiselas:He was born Sergio Gorchevsky on November 30th, 1986, in Uzbekistan, part of the Soviet Union. Okay, and why isn't he submitting to the normal background check that most other people submit to? You would expect that to happen. But what else would you expect in the Trump regime? Have you seen this one, folks? The Pam Bondi in action figure. There she is right there with the Epstein files on her desk. And she goes, it's on my desk. I'm going to release it. Oh, wait a minute. The Epstein files don't exist anymore. I don't know where that went. Did you see, by the way, what they tried to do to distract from the fact that they claim the Epstein files don't exist anymore?

4:23Ben Meiselas:How just duplicitous was this move? So after they said no such thing as the Epstein files, and then they released that video footage that was missing a minute of the critical, one of the critical minutes just went missing on this video. Well, then the FBI launched a criminal investigation of former CIA director John Brennan and James Comey, according to DOJ sources. Ooh, I guess we're supposed to be distracted from that when y 'all promised you were going to release the Epstein files. And now you're hiding it because Donald Trump is most likely all over the files and he's all over the files that have already been released.

5:03Ben Meiselas:By the way, folks, a Trump appointed judge, Judge Gallagher in Maryland was not putting up with any of Donald Trump's S-H-I, you know what I'm about to say. So Judge Gallagher was appointed by Trump in 2019 and she on her own took judicial notice of the conditions in CICOT, the concentration camp in El Salvador, where human torture takes place. She says the United Nations did a report on human torture. And now you, the Trump regime are claiming that this is not a place where torture takes place. You have consistently provided false information to this court. The court is absolutely livid, and that is coming from a Trump-appointed judge.

5:52Ben Meiselas:All lies, all the time from the Trump regime. So as this one account says, I guess we're going to have to throw out all the government data between 2025 and 2028 because it's just a bunch of BS. Remember how we told you how all the civil servants were basically being pushed out? The experts, the qualified people, the veterans who were working in the various government agencies quietly, just worksmen-like doing their job, how Doge pushed all of them out. Well, I already flagged last week when the Trump regime claimed that 147 ,000 new jobs were added after the ADP private payroll data the day before said that 33 ,000 jobs were lost in the private sector.

6:38Ben Meiselas:And so while Doge was cutting all of these government jobs. The Trump regime claims that all of these new jobs were created in government sectors and a lot of new teaching jobs were created. That doesn't sound very logical to me. And of course, Trump picked the number 47, 147 ,000, 47th president. And again, here's what the U.S. Department of Labor published today. Under Trump, native-born workers have accounted for all job gains since January. American workers first. They're saying 100%. They're leaving no room for any other types of jobs. Only native-born Americans accounted for all job gains.

7:19Ben Meiselas:Literally, they're just making up stats and they're making up the dumbest, most obvious lies in everything that they are doing. But folks, we can question, according to the regime and the regime sycophants, we can't question what they're doing, right? It's a loser mentality to try to say who's doing things wrong, right? So you had Greg Abbott from governor of Texas. He was asked a lot of questions. We're trying to figure out what the hell happened in Kirk County. Why did over 100 people die, many of them young girls? That's unacceptable. Why were there six critical vacancies in Texas at the National Weather Service.

8:02Ben Meiselas:The key meteorologist coordinator forced out by Doge, that would have been someone integrally involved in what went down. Why were local officials saying they did not get the warnings that they needed from the feds? Did we federalize a lot of these swift boats and other key emergency response vehicles? I know You're making a whole performative scene out of it in California to terrorize the community. Did you get into action at the right time when people knew this storm was coming in Texas? We're allowed to ask those questions. But according to Greg Abbott of Texas, no, we can't. Only losers ask that question.

8:43Ben Meiselas:And Greg Abbott, this is what he goes. He goes, here in Texas, we like football in Texas. We like football. And in football, you don't blame people. In football, you just score touchdowns. The hell are you talking about? We want to understand why 100 people are dead, why they didn't get the warnings they needed at the right time. That's unacceptable. And this answer by him is unacceptable. Here, play this clip. You ask, I'm going to use your words. Who's to blame? Know this. That's the word choice of losers. Let me explain one thing about Texas. and that is Texas, every square inch of our state, cares about football.

9:26You could be in Hunt, Texas, Huntsville, Texas, Houston, Texas, any size community that care about football. High school, Friday Night Lights, college football, or pro. And know this, every football team makes mistakes. The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who's to blame. The championship teams are the ones that say, don't worry about it, man. We got this. We're going to make sure that we go score again, that we're going to win this game. The way winners talk is not to point fingers. They talk about solutions. What Texas is all about is solutions.

10:01Ben Meiselas:And speaking about unacceptable, remember this moment yesterday during Donald Trump's disastrous press conference where he says to the reporter, you're talking about Epstein? Why are you talking about Epstein? We're done talking about Epstein. There's so many other things we should be talking about. Here, play this clip. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years. You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time? And do you feel like answering?

10:40I don't mind answering. I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy.

10:51Ben Meiselas:You're the one who's been talking about your regime has been talking about. They said the files were on the desk. They were going to release it. But of course you weren't. You're all over the files. You're in the depositions. You're in the flight logs. You're in the call logs. Epstein traffic girls from Mar-a-Lago. That is public record that that happened. You said Epstein's a great guy who likes women on the younger side. You wish Ghislaine Maxwell well at her sex trafficking trial. Epstein said that you guys were best friends and he called off the friendship because you were like ripping him off and lying repeatedly.

11:26Ben Meiselas:So what is it, Donald? What is it? OK, so then Donald Trump says this is how he describes the attack on Iran. He goes, you know what I did? I did skedaddle. I said skedaddle. And you know what skedaddle means? Skedaddle means skedaddle. Here, play this clip. Not only the pilots. I mean, those machines flew for 37 straight hours. They didn't stop. They went skedaddle. You know the word skedaddle? It means skedaddle. They dropped the bombs and somebody said skedaddle. Let's get the hell out of here. All right. And also Donald Trump at that disastrous press conference talking about raising tariffs on copper, 50 percent pharmaceuticals, 200 percent.

12:11Ben Meiselas:He says more letters are going to go out to countries tariffing these other countries because he couldn't do any deals in 90 days. In Canada, they view the United States as the biggest threat to Canada right now over any other nation. And this is what Donald Trump has done to these United States.
