So maybe just stick with Tax Act. Tax Act, let's get them over with.

2:23Ben Meiselas:It is not looking good for Donald Trump. Physically and mentally, he is collapsing while the United States is at war. While the United States' war against Iran has gone from horrible to absolutely catastrophic, Donald Trump's physical and mental health appears to be absolutely catastrophic. I mean, throughout the entire day yesterday, he kept on posting on his social media photos of the comedian Bill Maher. He had some dinner with Bill Maher in February or something, and there were February articles of Bill Maher. He kept on posting, not just once, eight times, post after post on Bill Maher. Then he started posting videos of Grand Theft Auto, the video game Grand Theft Auto.

3:16Ben Meiselas:And he's like mixing Grand Theft Auto videos with videos of the war against Iran. Then he starts posting Major League Baseball games and then starts mixing that with footage of the war against Iran, then NFL football games, and then starts mixing that with images of the war against Iran. And, you know, speaking of sports, he continues to surround himself with different sports teams and athletes instead of address the American people. And people who are around Donald Trump say privately he keeps on whispering about we need to send ground troops. I want to send ground troops, special elite forces.

4:01Ben Meiselas:I need to put him into Iran. This isn't going as planned. But Donald Trump keeps surrounding himself with different sports teams. I mean, earlier this week, it was the Major League Soccer Miami soccer team, or if you're not in the United States, the football team was there. And then Donald Trump kept on saying to them, oh, you're good looking. I don't I don't like good looking men the way you're all good looking. And he had Alex Rodriguez in the Oval Office. Why would you have Alex Rodriguez in the office? And then he did a press conference on Friday where he did not want to talk about the war.

4:38Ben Meiselas:He invited coaches from different NCAA basketball and football teams and old coaches who previously coached NCAA basketball and football teams. And he wanted to talk about why he doesn't want college football players or college athletes in general to receive payments for their name, image and likeness, despite the Supreme Court in a 2021 case allowing this to take place. And now college athletes are able to get paid. But Donald Trump's like, let's bring in the coaches. I want to bring in the coaches. And then he addressed, like, I don't know, like psychologically where you can perhaps interpret it better than I can.

5:21Ben Meiselas:But I know when I see cognitive collapse, I'm just going to call it out. We're at war. It's going horrible. Iran right now is attacking all of its neighbors, right, where there are American interests. The U.S. looks weak. you have you have Iran being aided now by China and Russia. Trump's whispering about ground troops. The price per barrel of oil is absolutely surging right now. And he and Trump is in the White House surrounding himself with different coaches from football teams and soccer teams and and basketball teams like coach, coach with everything's amazing. Coach, the Iranian army is gone.

6:03Ben Meiselas:Their navy is gone. They're done. They have no leaders. It's over. We've conquered. They've surrendered. No, they haven't. We see their foreign minister on TV on a daily basis. Their foreign minister, Aragachi, this guy is on NBC. We hear from their chief of their national security council, Larajani. This guy is on TV all the time. They're electing a new Ayatollah. They continue to do ballistic missile strikes and Shahid drone strikes. You have to, you're getting a$50 billion supplemental paid for by the taxpayers. We don't want to give you any money at all for this unlawful freaking war because we're out of munitions.

6:46Ben Meiselas:And you're talking to NCAA coaches and saying, coach, coach, put me in coach here. watch this just watch what he does i'm not exaggerating it watch what he did yesterday here play this clip said i'd give it a 12 to a 15 uh their army is gone they're just about look their navy is gone their communications are gone their leaders are gone two sets of their leaders are gone they're down to their third set uh their air force is wiped out entirely think of it they They have 32 ships. All 32 are at the bottom of the ocean. Other than that, they're doing very well, coach. And then again, people are like, hey, man, can we like talk about like the war and like what the hell is happening?

7:36Ben Meiselas:Because it's going really badly, Donald. It's going really badly. And Donald Trump's like, no, let's talk about what I want to do to not pay college athletes. I guess we're going to have to go to Congress, but I'll do an executive order. I do beautiful executive orders. Really beautiful. Here, play this clip. We have some of the big politicians, senators, Congress people, people that can make it get approved. Because we ultimately, we have to go through, I guess we have to go through, I'd do an executive order. I'd love to do that. I'll probably do it anyway. We'll do an executive order. We'll see how it works because it would be a really nice, I have a really nice, simple idea.

8:19but we'll go through this process and maybe i think we'll get it through congress we have a good chance i think it'll be very bipartisan and more about him talking about he wants to

8:30Ben Meiselas:write his executive order he's got a beautiful executive order that he wants to write here play this clip all right so i think he qualifies right but i i'd like to sit down with some of the very talented people in this room and we'll pick them out if you'd like to volunteer volunteer here and i'd like to sign an executive order that i'll write myself based on common sense and it'll be something that people will be sort of happy about some will be sort of happy others will be sort of happy and maybe that's a good thing there'll be a few people that won't like anything, but I'd like to write an executive order based on some of the very great talent in this room.

9:18Ben Meiselas:Then Peter Doocy asks him, all right, can we just ask, have a real question here for a second? It seems like Donald, this is Peter Doocy from Fox. He's like, Donald, it sounds like the Russians are helping Iran and the Chinese are helping Iran and that they're involved in this war that now involves the world that you started. Care to comment? This is the Fox guy asking it. And watch what Donald Trump says in response. Play this clip. Thank you, President Trump. It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans now. That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here.

9:56But can I be honest? It's just I have a lot of respect for you. You've always been very nice to me. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else. Can we keep this maybe a little bit?

10:12Ben Meiselas:Go ahead, please. And just to remind you, here's where he says, I don't like good looking men. Play this clip.

10:21These are good looking people. Marco, I don't like good looking men. You don't feel so good about yourself standing up here. Good looking people.

10:34Ben Meiselas:I want to make a, okay, just like a look, I want to make a show you. Christy Noem has also, I think, been raising doubts about Donald Trump's cognitive state, which I'll show you in a quick moment. But I just want to show you some of the parallels quickly between what you're seeing here and how Donald Trump's talking about the Iran war that he started with how he talked about COVID. When remember back in COVID in February and in March, he's like, by April, it's gone. It'll go away. it's never coming back the curve will be bended just to remind you donald trump in february and march in 2020 here's what he was saying play this clip we've done great on the trade it's going to have a tremendous impact now the virus that we're talking about having to do you know a lot of people think that goes away in april with the heat as the heat comes in typically that will go away in April.

11:26We're in great shape now. We have 12 cases, 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.

11:35Ben Meiselas:Here's another clip of him again. I just want to show you the type of language that he was using here. Play this clip. We're opening up this incredible country because we have to do that. I'd love to have it open by Easter. OK, I would love to have it open by Easter. I will. I will tell you that right now. I would love to have that. It's such an important day for other reasons, but I'll make it an important day for this, too. I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter. That's April 12th. So we will watch and see what happens. I'm going to toss it back to my cohort, Bill.

12:12Ben Meiselas:So now also behind the scenes, you have Kristi Noem, I think kind of leaking to press the press after she was fired, that Donald Trump is also cognitively addled. Here's how Mediate reports it. Let's try to cut through it for a second. Team Gnome, Kristi Gnome fires back at White House, suggests that Donald Trump lied about the ad campaign. So as you know, Donald Trump fires Kristi Gnome and he appoints her to be the special envoy of the shield, the envoy to the shield of America, just like literally a made up thing, the shield of America. I mean, just think about his demented mind that he made up a position called the shield of America.

12:55Ben Meiselas:And he keeps now talking about the shield of America while posting grand theft auto videos and saying it's the video of the war. Or the other day he was doing call of duty videos. The president of the United States is posting call of duty, fake videos and saying it's the war in Iran. Do we realize how utterly deranged that is? So, you know, he fires Cristino and he says the reason that he's did and he leaks out the reason he did it is that she blamed him for the ad campaign, 220 million dollar ad campaign. and during the cross-examination when she was under oath in front of the Senate, Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana said, did Donald Trump approve of that ad campaign with you on the horsey?

13:40Ben Meiselas:With you on the horsey, did he approve of that campaign? And she said, yeah, he approved of that ad campaign where she goes around dressing like a cowgirl or whatever the hell she's dressed as. and she's like riding around in horses and it cost the taxpayers over 200 million dollars and she's like yeah donald trump approved it and then i was like oh i don't think he approved it and then donald trump leaked that's why she got fired because she said that i was behind the ad campaign i wasn't behind the ad campaign well now christy noem saying this guy's basically christy noem saying behind the scenes through her own proxies of course he knew about it what are you talking about?

14:16Ben Meiselas:You know, and she's just basically blamed him for not giving her the resources. And she's just saying that he's basically cognitively messed up if he thinks that that's that that she never told him that story. Here's a video that has surfaced recently. Asin from the Midas Touch Network posted it. This was from a while ago where she told the story about the ad campaign. She was asked about the ad campaign and she said, Donald Trump said he liked to see me on the, he likes to see me dress up. Donald Trump said to Kristi Noem, according to Kristi Noem, he likes her wearing the different outfits. That gives him pleasure to watch her dress up in different outfits.

14:57Ben Meiselas:And then he told her, do the dress up thing that you do and do a commercial dressing up in different outfits. So she said that I did the dress up because Trump told me to dress up in these outfits because he likes me dressing up like that. And if you're like, Ben, come on. You're telling me Kristi Noem said that before? Yeah, she said that months and months and months ago. Here's the video of her saying that at this CPAC thing a while ago. Here, play this clip. Talk to me several times. We had several meetings during the transition talking about it. He said to me one day, we had a meeting. I left his office and then Natalie came chasing me down the hall.

15:35She goes, the president wants to tell you something he forgot to visit with you about. So I came back into his office and he said, Christy, do you know those ads that you did in South Dakota? Oh, yes. And I said, yes, sir. You mean my Freedom Works Here ads? And he said, yeah, those ones where you, those beautiful ads, you know, those beautiful ads. Beautiful. You did about South Dakota. They had Mount Rushmore. All those things. He said, I want you to do those for the border. Brilliant. And I said, well, sir, I don't know how that works. You mean the ones where I was a plumber and where I was an electrician?

16:08And I don't know if I can do those for the border. And he said, no, I want you to do those for the border. And I want you to do those everywhere, not just in the United States, but I want them around the world. I want you to tell people not to come to this country if they're going to come here illegally. And I said, well, sir, we can do press conferences. You know, we can tell people what we're doing. And he said, no, we're not going to let the media tell this story because the media will never tell the truth. We're going to do a marketing campaign to make sure the American people know the truth of what you're doing.

16:38And I said, well, sir, do you want to be in those ads? And he said, nope, nope. I want you to do them. He said, no, I don't. I want you in the ads. He said, I want you in the ads and I want your face in the ads. But he said, but I want the first ad. I want you to thank me. So I want you to thank me for closing the border. And I said, yes, sir, I will thank you for closing the border. So if you notice in that ad, we thanked him for closing the border.

17:03Ben Meiselas:And then, you know, and then finally, we know that Donald Trump keeps on talking about how he thinks he's not going to get to heaven if he dies soon and you know i'm not going to get to heaven i'm not going to get to heaven i'm not going to get to heaven and so he then brought in at the end of the week remember he brought in all those like far right wing uh like religious zealots um to like pray for him i'm just i'll show it to you here we don't need to show the actual video we could show it b-roll because it's freaking weird but this is what was going on as well as he's saying, I'm not going to make it to heaven.

17:39Ben Meiselas:I'm not going to make it to heaven. And he keeps on giving speeches. I'm not going to, I'll just show you a clip of him saying, I'm not going to make it to heaven. Here, play this clip. His final moments, Charlie testified to the greatness of America and to the glory of our savior with whom he now rests in heaven. And he's going to make heaven. I said, I'm not sure I can make it, but he's going to make it. He's there. He's looking down on us right now. It's so incredible. Look at this, how this turned out. This was supposed to be so dark and cloudy. Not dark and cloudy, is it? Look at that, how beautiful that is.

18:13There's no artist that can capture it as beautiful as it is today. Wow.

18:19Ben Meiselas:Just so you know that I'm not lying, like he says this in every speech now. He goes, I'm not going to be in heaven. If I die, when I die, I'm not going to make it to heaven. Here, just play this clip. I said, I don't think I'm going to make it to heaven in front of a massive group of people, 56 ,000 people. And they're all saying, oh, what does he mean? I don't think I'm going to make it to heaven. I'm doing a great job for a lot of people, but I don't think so. I'm just not worthy of heaven. I'm not going to make it.
