Trump Has Midnight Meltdown Over It

0:00By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things. Like how family is precious. Work can always wait. And 99 % of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK.

0:30Ben Meiselas:Well, there he goes again, Donald Trump spiraling at midnight, post after post on his social media platform like this. Iran's economy will have nothing left within two weeks, Scott Besant warns. We'll check back on that in two weeks. Are we 156 days past the time when Donald Trump and Besant said Iran's oil pipes are going to explode because the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz by the United States is just going so perfect? Enough of these lies. Every sound syllable utterance that is muttered from this regime is just an utter lie. Then Donald Trump posts this late last night. Trump's envoys tout real progress after marathon meetings at UN General Assembly.

1:24Ben Meiselas:Hope and promise, more like fraud and tragedy. Really, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two people who aren't appointed or confirmed, who weren't elected, dumb and dumber, be clowning the United States. Where are they bringing hope and promise to? The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. As we reported yesterday, Iran struck three, perhaps even four tankers in the past 24 hours. I showed all of the footage yesterday from Saudi Arabia to the UAE to Syria, where you have all of these oil facilities that have blown up and are on fire. You have record high diesel and gas prices here in the United States.

2:14Ben Meiselas:I'll do a video on this in the next 90 minutes or so. But you have the war escalating in Ukraine. Russia's Garen-4 and Garen-5 drones and cruise missiles continue to strike hard in various cities throughout Ukraine. You have Ukraine striking back in Russia. You have absolute cataclysmic conditions in the war that Donald Trump promised hope. And what was the other word? And promise. 24 hours after Donald Trump was elected, he said he would bring peace to Ukraine. He would just say the magic words to Putin and Zelensky and abracadabra, there would be peace. He is such a fraud. and what mortgages, the 30-year fix, the latest print is what, 7.5 % or something, approaching 8 % 30-year fixed mortgages.

3:10Ben Meiselas:The treasury yields, the 30-year, the 10-year, approaching what, 5.6%, right? We're going to have three to four more interest rate hikes right now. And then yesterday, the fraudulent regime does what fraudulent regimes do. They changed the freaking formula for how PCE inflation is actually categorized and computed. So earlier in the day, they were like, there's disinflation. And look, we had so much better PCE inflation numbers than were expected. and people were like, whoa, did inflation go down? How's that possible? Diesel prices are surging and really the price of diesel has an impact on everything.

3:58Ben Meiselas:What are you talking about? They changed the freaking formula for calculating inflation to reduce it by 30 to 40 basis points. Everything the regime does is a lie. Then Donald Trump posted this genocidal war criminal statement that he made in the Oval Office yesterday. This is what he was posting last night. President Trump is asked, how do you get a deal done with crazy people in Iran's regime? President Trump answers, maybe blow them up. The time for a decision is coming. Once again, proving Donald Trump is crazy. Donald Trump is a lunatic. That's how the whole world perceives Donald Trump and the United States right now.

4:44Ben Meiselas:How do you deal with the crazy people? You and Netanyahu invaded their country, slaughtered little children, little girls at Manabh Elementary School, little children at the Lemaire Sports Hall. Every time you escalate, you kill new innocent families, whether it's at the wedding in Sirik or a family in Keshem. Everything you do is absolutely disastrous, and you go, they're the crazy ones. They're the crazy ones. It's hard for you to project any authority on who is or who is not crazy when you are the craziest person in most likely world history, but certainly recent world history. And then he posts the following, Team USA Captain thanks Trump after massive President's Cup comeback.

5:37Ben Meiselas:He gets all the credit. By the way, do you know a lot of these articles are like state regime New York Post, state regime Fox News, state regime something called Just the News, state regime Newsmax. Donald Trump then posts, Trump met with roaring cheers at University of Tennessee, Texas Longhorns college football game. You got booed, by the way. We showed the footage of you getting booed. But okay, even if you got applauded, you know what? But you didn't. The American people are suffering right now. They can't afford anything. The cost of living crisis is getting so much worse. You're covering up child sex trafficking rings with the Epstein files and you're posting about getting applause at a football game.

6:25Ben Meiselas:What the hell is wrong with you? Oh, wait, we know everything. You are a bankruptor. You are a sex predator. You are a felon. You are a lifelong piece of trash. You are a cancer. Your existence is a plague to this world. Many people are saying. Then the audacity, he posts Mark Levin. That's how Mark Levin talks. So I'm like, he kept on posting last night this Mark Levin video, and I didn't want to click it, but I'm like, what the hell is he trying? Why does he keep posting Mark Levin? What's Levin going to say. And Mark, the part that Trump posts of this Mark Levin segment, Mark Levin's like, everything's great.

7:13Ben Meiselas:And you are all getting angry at the price of diesel, at the price of gas. The American people, you're whining that you have to pay more. What's wrong with you? This is what Trump is posting here. Play this clip. To create this tremendous society, this tremendous culture. That's right. All of it is at stake right now. Over the price of a gallon of gasoline.

7:47Over the price of a gallon of diesel fuel. It's just a dollar too much, people are saying. and government is not responding to me the way I want it to respond.

8:01Ben Meiselas:It should also be noted that throughout the day, Donald Trump was sleeping. Around 2 p.m., Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office to announce more fake deals. Here he is with Dan Sullivan sleeping. Here he is with the Alaska governor sleeping. I can show you so much more of him sleeping. I don't even want to read this. He posted things like this throughout the day. Inspector General's report just came out. Jerome Tulate Powell's renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, D.C. And then Donald Trump's like, we have to look into him. Let's arrest Jerome Powell.

8:38Ben Meiselas:Buddy, bud. Jerome Powell was actually an interest rate dove, someone who is more likely than not, if the conditions allowed to cut interest rates. You brought in Kevin Warsh, known as an interest rate hawk, someone whose proclivity is to always raise interest rates even more so than most people would, even in situations where you wouldn't think people would raise interest rates. So now everybody's expecting three to four more interest rate hikes over the next 12 months, maybe 18 months, but three to four more interest rate hikes. When, if you just left former President Biden's economy on autopilot and did nothing, and had Jerome Powell in charge still, what likely would have happened if you did nothing, if you didn't do your tariffs against the world in your catastrophic war, we probably would have had three interest rate cuts.

9:41Ben Meiselas:So the difference right now, because of you, rarely, if ever, does all of this happen because of catastrophic policies by a president. Usually the president is not directly responsible for economic calamity, although they sometimes make it much worse or contribute to it. Donald Trump's directly the cause. He is ground zero for all of this. And there's a 225 basis point swing of interest rate hikes now that's likely going to happen as a result of Donald Trump's disastrous trade wars against the world and Donald Trump's catastrophic war in Iran. Oh, Donald, where's all that oil from Venezuela going, by the way?

10:31Ben Meiselas:Didn't you say our strategic petroleum reserves were going to get filled up immediately. By the way, we debunked that crap right away. It's not even the right type of oil in Venezuela, and it'll take decades perhaps to be able to actually get that oil out and refine it if that illegal, horrific exploitation actually even goes through. It's a sour, dense, viscous type of oil that doesn't even go into our strategic petroleum reserve. But we just announced that we were going to draw down another 40 million barrels from our strategic petroleum reserve. We'll probably be below 250 million barrels in the strategic petroleum reserve soon.

11:14Ben Meiselas:Oh, by the way, Scott Besson, how's that bond buyback scheme going? Is it going good? Because it looks like the treasury yields after your bond buyback scheme are going on a vertical line up, and it looks like it backfired in your face. Are you an idiot? I think you really are, Besant, and actually a freaking idiot. You think that you can do$6 billion in bond buybacks of the 30-year treasury yield notes and that's gonna somehow, what? That's gonna bring the treasury yield notes down. They're gonna go, oh my God, look at Besant. There's a reason you were a loser your whole career when you went out on your own and you had a 90 % redemptions on your failed fund when you were on your own and you weren't trading under people who actually knew what the hell they were doing, Besant, you should be nowhere near the Treasury Department, yet alone running it the same way Donald Trump should be nowhere near the Oval Office, yet alone running it into the ground.

12:20Ben Meiselas:Same thing with all of these losers. You saw the videos we did on Pete Hegseth, who's now talking about what he created the like religious division in the military. Today at Secretary Hegseth's direction, the Department of War is announcing the Office of Religious Affairs. Starting today, the Office of Religious Affairs will report directly to the Secretary of War. No staff filters, no bureaucratic dilution, a direct line to the secretary. What the hell are you even talking about? So yesterday he announced officially the purging of 20 % of our admirals and generals, our top military leaders. He said, they're not worthy of their positions.

13:04Ben Meiselas:So I'm getting rid of them. And then he said, I have learned from the book. I kid you not. I don't even want to show his clip right now, but you remember what he said yesterday at his state of the force address, The book of Isaiah has told us all, send me to whatever the United States government wants to send me to when it comes to war. Send me. That's what the book of Isaiah says. Book of Isaiah says send you to never ending wars. What the hell are you talking about? This is a regime of religious, fanatic, extremist, doomsday type of people, end of day type folk who want to have just the total apocalyptic scenario that they dream.

13:51Ben Meiselas:These are sick, vile, demonic individuals who hate, hate everything and they want to bring everybody in their hate. Donald Trump was sending emails like this throughout the night from his campaign, trying to raise more money, more grifting. I let you slip before and it cost us. Message from Trump, standing up for what you believe in is never easy. Along the way, there will be challenges. You will stumble and fall. The MAGA movement is no different. Every single day, new battles arise. from the moment I wake at 5 a.m. The radical left does everything in their power to destroy me. You're just a loser, man.

14:35Ben Meiselas:You're just a freaking loser. Then he posts this. Did you block me? You blocked Trump? My messages are not getting through. Is this Ben confirmed? Last chance. Did you block me? Meanwhile, last night on state regime media, Brit Hume had the following to say, play this clip. Overall, Brad, I would say that the Republicans don't have much going for them this cycle. The polls all suggest that. The mood of the country suggests that. They do have more money than the Democrats do, which could be spent wisely, one would imagine, to help them. But this 69 % number that you show there on cost of living, I don't think much is going to change on cost of living over the next month.

15:20It could change a little. Things have turned around a bit in the Strait of Hormuz. But I think this Republicans have to worry about is that opinions have solidified and not in their favor. And that number suggests that that may be the case.

15:37Ben Meiselas:But of course, they wanted to change the topic and try to do some weird culture war stuff. So they bring in that guy. What's that guy? can of freedom. He's this like MAGA former NBA player who's now claiming just in order to try to mock transgender people. This is how they just try to bully people. He goes, I'm identifying as a woman and now I want to play in the WNBA and I'm going to make a whole scene in order to attack both transgender people and the women in the WNBA. I mean, this performative, I wait what is the hell is this here play this clip. Inez and I love it too um you made a big life decision you now identify as a biological female and you just told me off air that in April you will find out now that you're a biological female whether you will be I guess a player on the court alongside Asia and others.

16:31You know what I cannot wait I think you know I really would like to be get drafted by you know Indiana Fever I think me and Kirsten Clark will be the modern day of Kobe and Shaq I mean listen They lose$50 million every year, right? So their ticket sales will be off the roof. I will bring so much attention at Total League. So I cannot wait.

16:48Ben Meiselas:That is MAGA for you. That's MAGA for you. And meanwhile, the Trump regime is now using our taxpayer dollars. You saw all of the ads they're running out. They're now running pro-Iran war propaganda commercials on Fox, paid for by taxpayer dollars. The hell is even going on? I'll show you what it looks like here. Play this clip. On the orders of the President of the United States, U.S. Central Commandments.

17:20This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States armed forces. He reminded the world, as he has time and time again, being an American means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, as we will kill you. We didn't start this way. But under President Trump, we are finishing. Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their Ayatollah. to the great, proud people of Iran. The hour of your freedom is at hand. When we are finished, take over your government.

18:10It will be yours to take.

18:12Ben Meiselas:And meanwhile, just look at these headlines right here. Trump and Peter Navarro warn that Canada may interfere in the U.S. elections. Navarro warns Canada against election interference. But here's the other headline. Trump's latest appeal to Russia could outrage even his allies. Donald Trump not only is not going to be sanctioning Russia, Trump wants to do lots of business deals with Russia right now. And Trump continues to attack Canada. Yesterday, he said, Canada's the worst country ever. They're the worst country. Again, elbows up, Canada. We stand in solidarity with you against this Trump regime.

18:52Ben Meiselas:We want you to know that we stand with you against them, okay? Just so you know, they're horrific and they're traitors and they're treasonous to America. And it's horrific, the stuff that they're saying. I just want you to know that you have allies here and you know that. Also, Brazil briefed the French and German top government officials and intelligence agencies on the US-Russian election interference taking place right now. It seems both the US and Russia, either individually or collectively, are work. We know this. It's not a shocker. It's obvious. I mean, I think they're saying it publicly.

19:31Ben Meiselas:But Trump regime propping up Jair Bolsonaro's kid, who's running against Lula, the current president of Brazil, as Donald Trump tries to hoist more authoritarians in the Western hemisphere. Trump puppet dictators, and he's doing that with Jair Bolsonaro's kid. Finally, I'll show you this. With everything going on with Americans can't afford housing, all the struggles taking place, Marco Rubio did a Steve Jobs style event regarding passports, and it was so utterly pathetic. Did Did you see this? Here, play this clip. It feels substantial. And after putting this much thought into the book itself, we figured that the way it arrives at your home ought to matter too.

20:24The presentation, how it gets there should matter. So you remember this, I showed this to you earlier, right? We're not doing that anymore. For something as important and as dignified as the United States passport, it will arrive the way you would expect it to. this is what comes next
