Trump Has Nightmare Wednesday After Bad Election News

0:00Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a terrible day as the extent of his unpopularity is sinking in, as he has lost all control regarding any prospect of the United States doing a deal with Iran. Iran is doing a deal directly with Oman, which Israel is trying to scuttle right now by launching new attacks on Lebanon. And Donald Trump is trying to fix the helipad after already pouring concrete in front of the White House. If you can't do a helipad and a reflecting pool, you know it is a very bad situation for the United States in Donald Trump trying to handle all of these other things. Let's just get into it, folks.

0:40Ben Meiselas:So Donald Trump throwing a tantrum this morning, posting on his social media accounts. Wayne County, Detroit, and Michigan is one of the most corrupt voting areas in the United States, if not the world. Okay, Donald Trump got a rude awakening during the primaries. First, you have Abdul El-Sayed winning in Michigan, and you have Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow rallying around him. Haley Stevens, a very gracious concession post. Mallory McMorrow was there for the endorsement right away. But take a look at what happened at Michigan's eighth congressional district in the Republican primary there.

1:17Ben Meiselas:The candidate that Donald Trump endorsed, somebody by the name of Amir Hassan, got blown out by somebody who the various news agencies don't even have a photo of because the guy suspended his campaign weeks ago. Somebody by the name of Thomas Smith defeated the Trump-endorsed candidate, Amir Hassan, and Smith suspended his campaign. Trump candidates are losing their campaigns to people who have suspended their campaigns weeks ago. That's how unpopular Donald Trump is. Let's zoom into North Carolina where MAGA Republican Congress member Chuck Edwards, a big ally of Donald Trump, just dropped out of his reelection race.

2:02Ben Meiselas:These MAGA Republicans are dropping like ducks in the reflecting pool. No offense. That's sad. At 3.32 a.m. this morning, he said he's done running but will finish out his term. This landed just after the House Ethics Committee found substantial reason to believe he violated House rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces. While all of this is going on as well, you have Max Miller, or as Donald Trump calls him, Maxie. Remember, Trump said that this MAGA Republican Congress member, Max Miller, Trump says, I feel really bad for Maxie. Okay, Max Miller is accused of very serious allegations of abuse to his wife, abuse to his daughter, abuse to other women who he previously dated.

2:51Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump's like, I feel bad for Maxie. I feel bad for him. And then you have MAGA Mike Johnson and the whole MAGA Republican establishment today saying they stand strongly in solidarity with Maxie. That's what MAGA Mike Johnson said today. That's what GOP leaders, they said, Maxie is our guy. So now Max Miller feels emboldened. He's been going on the morning shows and he's like, I'm just like Trump. We get allegations against us and we just don't ever quit. We just keep on, regardless of the allegations, this is who we are in Trump's America. This is what Max Miller, who Trump refers to as Maxie, had to say, play this clip.

3:30When we go all the way back to 2015, 2016, and people in the media, and they looked at President Donald J. Trump and everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And do you want to know what he did, Rob? He stayed in the fight because Americans see and one of the qualities that they respect the most is somebody who is resilient. And can I tell you something? Innocent people don't run from these.

3:58Ben Meiselas:Then you You had Todd Blanche, still the acting AG, but the MAGA Republicans certainly want this corrupt bootlicker to be the attorney general, the least qualified, most unethical person to ever even be near the Department of Justice building, yet alone become the attorney general. He was asked, so what message does it send, this happened this morning, if Trump fires a U.S. attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime and that she dismissed a case against David Hearn, the two-time Olympic canoeist, because it was fabricated evidence. So what message does it send if Trump fires the prosecutor who dismissed the case because the prosecutor found that there was fabricated evidence in the prosecution?

4:46Ben Meiselas:Watch what this corrupt idiot has to say. Here, play this clip. Decline to say whether you stand by Jennifer's decision to drop that case. I'm just, what message does it send, though, if President Trump fires a U.S. attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime? Did you fire her? What message would it send, I said? Hypothetically, if the president chose to fire a United States attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that because he's the president of the United States. So I don't, and by the way, he, if, if the president wanted, if president Trump wanted to fire anybody, right.

5:21And within his administration, I mean, he very, he understands he has the power to do that. So when, when he makes a decision about whether to fire a U S attorney or anybody else, that's his.

5:33Ben Meiselas:But then you have the MAGA Republican sycophants in the Senate. I mean, how awful are these human beings? I mean, not just as politicians, like as humans, these are like just horrible putrid things. There's no other way to describe them. And they hate you. They hate America. They hate this country, these MAGA Republicans. That's very, very clear. And they think we're all stupid. They think we're all so dumb. They laugh. They laugh as they try to fraud us, defraud us every day. So you have MAGA Republican Senator Cynthia Loomis, and she's like, I just want to let it. This is what she said this morning.

6:07Ben Meiselas:Donald J. Trump is the most ethical president ever. He's the most ethical. He's done the most ethical guidelines. What do you mean the most ethical? The guy who did 21 ,000 stock trades and created an insider trading function of his social media platform. The guy who's done quid pro quos with every Middle East nation in the world and enriched himself to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. The guy who sued the government while he was president for$10 billion in a frivolous case and then extracted a settlement for himself where he gets tax immunity so he can't be criminally prosecuted for tax fraud and tax evasion i mean who are these losers i mean these are just these mega republicans are just the biggest scum the biggest verm like right as humans right i mean who are these seriously they're they're i don't want to even talk about this in political double crap though these are just awful humans the period here let's play this clip And the president agreed to an ethics provision that no president has ever agreed to.

7:12He's gone farther to protect ethics than any president in history. Yet the Democrats do want more. Their proposal is in front of the president now. And we'll see what he does. No, it's a great point that you make. The president has actually tried to come to the middle and try to agree to some of these ethics.

7:32Ben Meiselas:Going back to awful humans right here, you then have Max Miller, who I just shared with you before, essentially saying that he has blackmail material on his ex-father-in-law, Bernie Moreno, who's the father of Maxie, as Trump calls him, ex-wife. And, you know, there was a lot of rumors about Bernie Moreno going on certain chat boards and message boards, you know, while he attacks the LGBTQ community. There's lots of people linking Bernie Moreno to certain types of websites and chats and things like that. I think those were the allegations that and Max Miller is alluding that he has blackmail material on the MAGA Republican senator from Ohio.

8:16Ben Meiselas:Like you all realize like this doesn't have to be our way of politics. Like we can have normal people like who actually who actually fight for us. And, you know, it's just wild that like these Max Millers, these Moreno's, these Loomis's and all these people, they're like the radical left and the communist. And so these people are the most radical, crazy human beings imaginable. These Magna's here. Play this clip. Everything that's happening right now is sadly political because no father of a daughter who would come to them with these ridiculous ridiculous allegations, would wait on their hands for two years and do nothing, only because he felt the political pressure because some of the nasty rumors that were circulating about him that he doesn't want to get out.

8:58And that has nothing to do with me. I have no intention of sharing what will eventually become public. But this was nothing more than a political move because he knows I've never heard his daughter. I've never heard our granddaughter. And if that was true, three different investigations would have removed my daughter from me throughout all of this. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar, our exclusive snack sponsor.

10:54Ben Meiselas:And then Max Miller says that his ex-wife doesn't really care much about their daughter. It's sad to see, and she doesn't care much about my daughter. Here, play this clip. I am an upstanding father who takes great care of our daughter and that I have never hurt her or my ex-wife under any circumstances and nothing. And I mean nothing. Investigations, all of this stuff. No one pursued it because it's so ridiculous and it's not real. And it's sad to see that the only person that this affects is our daughter. And it's something that obviously I don't think that she cares about very much. Now also we're learning about an FAA investigation into an air safety incident involving Trump's Marine One.

11:40Ben Meiselas:So the helipad right now, shoddy construction work, reflectable shoddy construction work right there. I believe that East Wing teardown had no asbestos mitigation. I believe that there's massive asbestos contamination there and we'll learn about mesothelioma cases in the future. But here's what we're learning. The FAA is investigating a safety incident after Donald Trump's Marine One helicopter and a departing envoy air passenger jet came closer than the FAA rules allowed near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. The incident reportedly occurred because air traffic controllers failed to halt commercial departures when Marine One took off.

12:20Ben Meiselas:The Guardian got the scoop there. Let's just pivot quickly to international news as well. I alluded to it at the beginning, Iran and Oman close to making a deal to create a route in the Strait of Hormuz controlled by the IRGC, which would be open to all vessels, but it would be under the IRGC control. Donald Trump is trying to take credit now for the Iran-Oman deal. Iran has made it very clear they have no interest in having negotiations with the United States. Iran will not be going to Pakistan or Qatar or anything. Iran's position is we're making a deal with Oman, IRGC will control the Strait of Hormuz.

12:56Ben Meiselas:They've repeatedly said that this is their position. And here's what Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson just said. The negotiation between Iran and Oman are professional in progressing. The geographical coordinates of the proposed route in the Strait of Hormuz have been agreed on. And if certain third parties do not obstruct this process, the joint statement between the two countries, including key considerations and points of agreement is in the final stages of reviewing and drafting. And by saying obstruction by certain third parties, referring to the United States and Israel. And if they don't try to interfere and intervene, we're ready to open this up and we're going to have our deal and we're going to announce it soon.

13:37Ben Meiselas:Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson also said, the Iran-Oman understanding in itself cannot guarantee the safety of ships passing through the strait as the factors that destabilize the Strait of Hormuz, particularly the U.S. naval blockade and other aggressive and threatening actions against Iran and its interests still exist. And then what happens right away, right on cue, the Israeli Defense Force issues an urgent evacuation warning for residents of the Lebanese village of Mansouri, instructing civilians move at least 1 ,000 meters north into open areas. They plan on destroying the entire village right now.

14:12Ben Meiselas:According to the IDF, the warning was issued in response to what it described as a Hezbollah ceasefire violation, stating that the Israeli forces are compelled to act forcefully against the threat, and they will be leveling the entire village of Mansouri right now. What's Trump doing while that's taking place? Well, Iran and Oman are negotiating. Trump can't do a deal with anybody. He's pathetic. He's a bankruptor. He's a destroyer. He's never done a deal in his life. He knows how to breach agreements and attack and divide. He's not a dealmaker. You have Israel now attacking Mansouri right now.

14:45Ben Meiselas:So who the hell knows what's going to happen with this potential deal between Iran and Oman. But Trump continues to post AI photos of himself with stolen valor. He posts these AI images of himself with General Patton, General MacArthur, and Trump puts himself in a military outfit like he's some four-star general. By the way, would you be surprised if Donald Trump came out in a press conference dressed as a four-star general. And all of the MAGA people would be like, oh, he looked very good. I like the new look. I like the new look. We're pretty much one news cycle away from him coming out dressed like the way we grew up with dictators dressing like in the military outfits.

15:26Ben Meiselas:But look, one of the very serious things, too, that I've been covering a lot here on this network, and that deserves constant attention, is the massive rug pull that Donald Trump did with Zelensky a few weeks back in mid-July during the NATO summit in Turkey. Donald Trump promised Zelensky Patriot interceptor licenses. Previously, Donald Trump promised to sell Patriot interceptors to Europe and that Europe would provide the interceptors to Zelensky. Zelensky and Ukraine are able to shoot down most of the Shahid drones that Russia gets from Iran that strike into Ukraine. They have about a 90 % interception rate.

16:02Ben Meiselas:They're able to intercept most of the cruise missiles, a very high interception rate. Ukraine is unable to stop the ballistic missiles. They're unable to stop them without the Patriot interceptors. That's why they are so crucial. And Trump promised he would get the interceptors or the interceptor licenses, the Linsky, for a long time now. Then at the NATO summit said, we'll get you the licenses. And now Donald Trump said, we're not going to give you the interceptors. We're not going to give you the licenses. And remember at the end of last week in Camp David, Trump said, We don't want you to potentially use it against us one day.

16:37Ben Meiselas:So we have to be very careful who we give these licenses to. So what's Russia doing? Russia knows that Zelensky and Ukraine do not have the interceptors. So they are just shooting these ballistics and they are really hitting hard in Kiev, in Zepresia and through and Lviv and all of the area, all of the major cities and areas in Ukraine. And so Zelensky posted out 44 people were injured. 17 killed. Russia used 24 ballistic missiles. And Zelensky explains ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today. It is very important that our partners understand that delays in supplying them or unwillingness to provide anti-ballistic systems leads directly to such horrific casualties and destruction.

17:25Ben Meiselas:Zelensky also asked Trump and Elon Musk, Can we at least use the Starlink to shoot the ballistic missile launchers in order to get the coordinates? You know, we could find the coordinates ourself, but we need the satellite to guide our drones and to guide our missiles into Russia just for the purpose of striking the ballistic missile launchers in Russia. And Trump and Musk have denied that as well. But I'll tell you what they are doing. FBI Director Kash Patel has engaged in unprecedented security ties with Russia and China. He's visiting Russia soon. The FBI established it where we used to do cooperation with Canada, UK, NATO, right?

18:07Ben Meiselas:No. Now the major cooperation is with Russia and China. While they continue to look at people like Kash Patel in the United States as weak, they continue to learn from us while you have Trump and Pat Patel being basically China and Russia bootlickers because they love their authoritarians.
