0:31Ben Meiselas:Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes.

Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference in the White House at the same time that the total debt of the United States now exceeds$40 trillion, and over 30 % of that is attributed to Donald Trump.

1:14Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's disastrous press conference featured crypto leaders and tech leaders, and just as the U.S. national debt exceeded$40 trillion, it also just so happened while those crypto leaders were in the White House that Bitcoin rose in value over 7 % today. Let me show you what went down during this disastrous White House press conference. Donald Trump said that he loves to hear bad economic numbers. Here, play this clip. Pretty simple to me, but it's a killer. You know, I almost like to hear bad numbers. I'm saying, I hope we have bad numbers today. Interest rates will go to, it doesn't make sense.

1:51Ben Meiselas:And then he said, every time I hear our country is doing well, I say too bad. And that makes me upset. Here, play this clip. Interest rates should go down. I mean, every time I hear a country is doing well, I say, oh, it's too bad because they lift up interest rates. They should drop interest rates because it means we have a strong country. Now, before Donald Trump arrived, he made the crypto and tech leaders wait for over an hour. And some members of the press were mocking them, asking if they wanted to play Red Rover, Red Rover. Here, play this clip. We have a few bit points.

2:39Ben Meiselas:And of course, we continue to see Donald Trump's cognitive and physical decline. You can see Donald Trump's droopy face as he falls asleep while the SEC chair was talking. Here, play this clip. This consonant with our belief that the most important priority is for Congress. More of Donald Trump falling asleep as some of these tech people or crypto people are speaking. You can see for yourself Donald Trump sleeping. Let's play it. Tokenization will open up markets that have long been out of reach, including private companies. Today, too much economic value is being created before ordinary investors get a chance to participate.

3:20Ben Meiselas:And while Donald Trump was sleeping, he was also making these very weird faces. It was like he was having these involuntary spasms where he would just make like these weird smiles. I'll show you what it looked like so you can see for yourself. Let's play this clip. Intangible outcome that's really now benefiting the US and adoption of US. And Donald Trump really struggled to talk throughout this press conference. He was trying to say that we're in the very beginning of a financial revolution, but he called it a fictional revolution. You can listen to it for yourself. Let's play this clip right here.

3:54But we're also on the very beginning of a revolution in fictional and financial. You take a look at some of the things that are being done on a financial basis and the financial technology that's the potential to create more jobs, opportunity, and wealth for all Americans. And that's what it's doing, is creating jobs and great wealth.

4:16Ben Meiselas:And then he was excited to show off the Winklevoss brothers, who he refers to as my male models who happen to be geniuses behind him. Again, so utterly deranged. Here, play this clip. Or if anybody else of this very distinguished, would somebody like to say something? My male models who happen to be genius. They're brilliant and they look good, right? But anybody, would you like to say something? Go ahead, please. I just want to thank you, Mr. President, for all of your leadership. America should lead in crypto. And then he started to attack Switzerland and says, if I want to, I will cut off all business to Switzerland.

4:54Ben Meiselas:Let's play this clip. Yeah. On the bond market, has the administration done enough to stabilize the bond market? Well, I think it is. But I mean, it's very sad. every time we do great, we announce great numbers, the interest rates go up. And they go up because they want to stop inflation. They should go down because the country's strong. You know, I see countries like Switzerland where they're the number one lowest interest rates, a half a percent, and we pay three and a half percent. And yet if we stop doing business, for instance, I have the absolute right to cut off all business with a country like Switzerland.

5:29So why are they prime if I can cut off the business and they are no longer functional. And yet they're considered to be like an elite country. And I don't want to single them out because there's 60 countries like that. They live off the United States. So why are we paying higher interest rates than them? You know, in the old days, we used to pay the lowest interest rate, no matter how we were doing, because we sort of generate for the whole world. And I want to see it where interest rate, and I have to tell you, we have a wonderful chairman. I think he's doing a great job. The The problem is he has a board and it's a political board.

6:02People put in by Obama, Biden and me. And there are quite a few members still left, as you understand. And so they vote to raise interest rates. I don't know if they're doing it because they think they're doing a good thing or because they like the politics of it. But my point is years ago, 25 years ago, when the country announced good numbers, interest rates went down because we had a stronger country. Now, when we announce good numbers, the better they are, the worse it is for interest rates.

6:31Ben Meiselas:He then attacks Iran. And he says, well, he says that a lot of pipelines are being built. And I think the Hormuz Strait is not going to be as important anymore. So you can hear this for yourself. Let's play it. And other places. In addition, a lot of pipelines, record numbers of pipelines are being built. So I think the Hormuz Strait is not going to be quite as important as it was in the past. Then he lies and claims the Strait of Hormuz is open. And he says a lot of boats are coming through. No one's reporting it, he says, but it's wide open. We know this is not true. We know the strategic petroleum reserves have hit all time lows.

7:09Ben Meiselas:We know that the price of diesel is now$5.50 a gallon. We know the crack spread over$102 a barrel. We know that the price of gas nationwide over four dollars a gallon but okay this is just donald trump lying but he's got the tech bros and the crypto bros behind him let's play this clip i'm gonna ask about canada but first the treasury secretary says that we could see the most impactful sanctions on iran this week when will they come and what else could be sanctioned on rent well we have things that we could sanction we have very draconian sanctions and we'll uh see what happens right now the strait is open.

7:48A lot of boats are coming through. People aren't reporting that, and that may slow down a little bit at some point, but right now a lot of boats are coming through. The naval blockade has been extremely effective.

8:01Ben Meiselas:Feeling sluggish, bloated, or just not quite like yourself?

M-E-I-D-A-S. then he goes and praises kim jong-un and he said it he says it made him very angry to find out that the u.s and south korea were doing military exercises together and he says that it was very insulting to kim jong-un who's been a great partner kim jong-un continues to threaten the united states and our allies or i guess former allies he was doing ballistic missile tests the other day.

9:27Ben Meiselas:His sister just mocked you. She's one of the main leaders in North Korea and said that they're not even having conversations with you and that you're lying. And Korea's helping China and Russia and Iran. But okay, sure, Donald. And by the way, in South Korea, they said that they got no notice at all that Donald Trump was going to shut down joint military exercises and attack military cooperation between United States and South Korea to help his friend Kim Jong-un. Let's play this clip. I didn't like the fact that we're doing these massive military exercises really against North Korea. It was an exercise against North Korea.

10:05When I'm friendly with him, when we have, I don't see anything happening for certainly two and a half years. It's not going to happen with me, but I don't see anything happening. And I was not happy when South Korea said, no, they're not interested in helping us with the Harmo Strait, and yet they get 60 percent of the oil from the Harmo Strait. I said, would you like to help us? He said, no, thank you. I said, that's nice. Please. Thank you. He made us a lot of money. I didn't like that. So I felt that to do a massive, we were doing a massive war exercise. I thought that was very insulting to somebody that frankly has been, during my term at least, very well behaved.

10:44Ben Meiselas:More from Donald Trump here. He says there needs to be data centers in everybody's backyard. And if Donald Trump was a mayor, he would make sure that there were data centers in his town. Let's play this clip. If I were the mayor of a town or the governor of a state, and I had a chance to get a big plant in, an AI plant or a data center, I would absolutely want it because the jobs are enormous and the money paid, the taxes paid are just enormous. And if you don't take it, you're going to be left behind because there are plenty of places that want it. And then Donald Trump says that it was a bad thing that Obama and Biden were not loved by Kim Jong-un.

11:22Ben Meiselas:But Kim Jong-un loves him, so that's a good thing he says. Let's play this clip. Well, I don't want to talk about that, but I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong-un. As you know, you've seen. He didn't like Biden. He didn't like Obama. He didn't like anybody, but he likes me. And I like, you know, I just got along with him very good. We had great meetings. We speak. and I think our nation and I think other nations, frankly, whether it's Japan or South Korea, they're a lot safer if I'm president than if somebody else is president. Now, I didn't like the fact. And then he says something really revealing here, although he's too dumb to even realize what he's saying.

12:00Ben Meiselas:He says, when our country is strong, interest rates should go down. When our country is weak, they should go up. That's what's happening right now. The country is weak. So interest rates are going up. That's why the treasury yields were very, very high. They still are high, although you did a buyback scheme earlier this morning where you are artificially propping up short-term bonds in order to artificially suppress long-term bonds as part of a broader Ponzi scheme. I covered this with Justin Wolfers in an earlier video I did, but you can hear what he says. How revealing is this? Let's play this clip.

12:38Look, when our country is strong, interest rates should go down. When our country is weak, frankly, they should go up. But this country is strong. They've never had, there's never been in history, the kind of money coming into a country as we have right now. Trillions and trillions of dollars are being invested in plants, factories, everything. Everything you can think of. We're the hottest country in the world. We are by far, and I said it a hundred times. the king of Saudi Arabia, many, many people. They said two years ago, three years ago, your country was dead. Now you have the hottest country in the world.

13:15That's what we have. We have the hottest country in the world.

13:17Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump's diagnosis on the Strait of Hormuz and gas prices is it will either be really good or it will be really bad, but we will see. Stay tuned to the next episode of these dystopian episode of The Apprentice. The reality show that the American people in the world are non-consensual participants and that nobody wants to be associated with in Trump's sicko deranged world. Here, play this clip. For other places, but we'll see. We're going to see what happens. It'll either be extremely good and oil prices are going to drop like a rock, or we'll continue to do exactly what we're doing.

13:52You know, they were talking about$350 a barrel, and it's today$84,$85.

13:58Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is asked if Americans should be concerned about the bond markets? And he goes, no, because we're so rich. Everything's amazing. It's not true. Here, play this clip. Even despite the fact of what's happening with interest rates. Should Americans be concerned about this volatility in the bond market? No, I don't think so. Because like I said, our country is doing so well despite interest rates. We have interest rates that are artificial. They're actually artificially high. They raise them for no reason. And you can't go out to the market when you have a Fed that's raising interest. You can't say, I want to pay three points less than what the Fed says you're supposed to be paying.

14:35So, no, I don't think so at all. I think we have a very powerful country and we're powering through these ridiculous interest rates. They're ridiculous.

14:44Ben Meiselas:And then he goes on and he continues to be asked questions. The chair of the SEC says, we're making IPOs great again. All right, well, tell that to the average American or 99 % of Americans, not the 1%, who are not saying, we've made IPOs great, but who can't afford groceries or can't afford rent or certainly can't afford to buy a home. Here, play this clip. From day one, you've made our nation's financial dominance and innovation job one. We at the SEC are delivering on your agenda. We're making IPOs great again to continue on your theme by cutting red tape that discourages companies from going public.

15:24Ben Meiselas:Then he goes and says that he's a genius, and that's why he signed the Genius Act. You can see this for yourself right here. What it's done. It's been amazing. One year ago this summer, I signed landmark legislation known as the Genius Act. I named it after myself. I didn't want anyone to, I didn't want to use my name, so I just called the Genius Act. And then finally, he whines about the bond market and says it's all very, everything's unfair. It's all cheating. Everything's unfair against him. It's all a conspiracy against Donald. Here play this clip. Now when we announce good numbers, the better they are, the worse it is for interest rates.

16:01So we could be, we could have a GDP of 10 times. You know, they say, oh, it's going to be three times or 4.1. We could have a GDP of 10, 12, 15 times if they just leave us alone. Let us, let the rates go down. We should pay the lowest interest rates. You know, every point of interest is$600 billion. Think of that. Every point of interest is 600 billion. Two points means we make a fortune, but we keep driving it up. It's a very unfair system.

16:34Ben Meiselas:And I'll just finally remind you that earlier today we covered Donald Trump roaming around the White House premises, being completely deranged about the stones and the grass and feeding the grass and the grass is eating food or whatever the hell he is. I'll just remind you what it looked like earlier today. Play this clip. so that instead of putting straight pieces down, we have the stone absolutely perfectly rounded. If you look at it, it's sort of amazing because you can barely see it, but it's just a slight radial cut and it's a perfect job. There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think.
