Trump Just Hit New Low…

0:00Ben Meiselas:This morning, two tankers have been hit by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, one oil tanker, one LPG tanker. Also, the IRGC released video footage moments ago of how it just struck down another MQ-1 drone belonging to the United States flying over the Strait of Hormuz. You have the IRGC spokesperson delivering this warning right here that they are still capable of expanding the war geographically. There is room to expand, IRGC spokesperson Mojave explains. He says Iran will introduce new weapons with new capabilities and strike objectives that have never been targeted before. The world will see the power and precision of our weapons and the world will be amazed with With all that going on, Donald Trump is posting things like this in this morning.

0:55Ben Meiselas:He says, Trump says Breitbart, only outlet that covers him fairly. And then Donald Trump writes, the White House is not instituting an assault on the free press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the fake news, something that has grown like cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our national security and must be stopped now. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. Trump views any criticisms of his horrific regime as far-left propaganda, and he says it is a national security threat, implying that he will, what, use the military against news that he doesn't like?

1:47Ben Meiselas:Like in any event, the entire White House TV press pool consisting of Fox, NBC, CBS, and ABC in solidarity backing CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, which have all been banned from the White House. They are saying they will not be covering Trump events with the press pool for the foreseeable future unless Trump allows CNN, MSNOW, and Politico back in. That means there's not going to be any press pool video footage of Donald Trump from the White House as he heads to the U.N. this week. And so the press over there standing in solidarity with each other, with all of this going on, with oil prices surging, with diesel prices surging, with small businesses, all businesses getting crushed right now.

2:35Ben Meiselas:It's the American consumers. American people are feeling this psychological torture from the Trump regime. No wonder Donald Trump's latest approval has now hit 29%. This is the first poll from a major polling entity showing Donald Trump's approval in the 20s. And we're going to be seeing a lot more of this. America Research Group, ARG, has Donald Trump's approval at 29 % with 68 % of Americans disapproving with this as the background. Donald Trump sent his sycophants on propaganda networks, state regime media, Fox, for example, and small business administrator, Kelly Loeffler, who's a billionaire.

3:20Ben Meiselas:She married a billionaire. She dismisses record high diesel prices and says that Americans really are just so happy right now about this war in Iran, that they're willing to pay a lot more money for gas and diesel. This is what the small business administrator saying, by the way, she's out there. Her main initiative right now, I kid you not, is doing a reality TV show with Nicki Minaj, the small business million dollar challenge, where they tape small businesses. They video them like going through obstacles and challenges or something. Here, play this clip of Kelly left. Look, I think small businesses are looking through this right now they obviously prices are elevated there's nothing more important to the president than getting these prices down that's what he's working on every single day but we cannot have the largest state sponsor of terrorism having their thumb on oil prices indefinitely he's taking care of that small businesses are in growth mode that's the bottom line you see it in small business optimism that during the the vast majority of president trump's second term where small business optimism continues above its 52 year average.

4:28We saw that last month. We saw it the prior month. And we see small business in investment mode because of the tax cuts, because we're deregulating, taking the weight of trillions of dollars of regulation that the Biden administration heaped.

4:40Ben Meiselas:Then you have the Pyongyang political TV network over here with Harris Faulkner and Tammy Bruce, Donald Trump's U.S. mission to U.N. deputy. And they're like, all the diesel issues, all the price problems. It was all Biden's fault. Here, play this clip. This clearly is a war that never should have happened and would not have happened if the president had been in charge when this emerged. But now he has a chance. But we had Biden. We did. And so now we're still dealing with the aftermath of that. That's when. And they send out Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary, to go on propaganda's Benny Johnson show.

5:20Ben Meiselas:When she boasts, she goes, look at what a great job we've done. dismantling the administrative state. We've kicked off 6 million people who relied on services to help feed their children. Shouldn't we be celebrated for that? These are truly evil people. Here play this clip. Trump won. They'd begun to roll it back. But this is the magic of Trump too, is we figured out, learned our lesson in Trump won. We had four years to prepare, and then we're able to come back and just start deconstructing the administrative state. So we've moved almost 6 million people off of the SNAP program. Some of it's welfare to work.

5:58Some of it's getting rid of illegals. And some of it is the fraud. But 6 million people out of 40 plus million, that's a pretty good chunk. And I'm really proud of that work. So 1 ,000 people arrested. Lots of people now sitting in jail. Criminal enterprises have been uncovered. DOJ has been an incredible partner. But there's still a lot of work to do. What an abomination that an illegal can come here and get on these federal benefits. On the topic of breaking news, what if I told you picking the wrong Medicare plan isn't just a money problem? It could take years off your life. That's not a guess.

6:31I just saw this study out of Yale that shows how picking the wrong Medicare plan can really affect your lifespan. Makes sense when you think about it. A plan can sound fine or look good on paper until you actually get sick. When health issues arise, it matters how easily you can access the care that you need. And not all plans are created equal. Even if a plan has a few doctors in network, that doesn't mean they will be able to see you when you need it the most. That is why you need to talk to Chapter. Chapter is the only national Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions, and what matters most to you and your situation to help you find the best plan for you.

7:20If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you. If not, they'll help you fix it. Your Medicare plan shouldn't be the thing standing between you and your best possible life. Call Chapter today at 82 Medicare. That's 82 Medicare. care.

7:38Ben Meiselas:Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues his posting spree this morning. Donald Trump posted, Russia has unfortunately lost control of its diesel oil industry due to its war with Ukraine. A large number of their diesel refineries have been blown up and are at least temporarily out of commission. This ridiculous and never-ending war with Ukraine must be ended. The whole world suffers as 25 ,000 people, mostly soldiers, are being killed each month. What a shame, DJT. You ran for the presidency of the United States claiming you would reduce electricity prices by 50%, that gas prices would be$2 a gallon, that groceries would be more affordable, that Americans would be able to afford homes, that there would be no more never-ending wars initiated by the United States and that you would be able to solve the Russia war in Ukraine in 24 hours after the election.

8:40Ben Meiselas:You said you had a great relationship with Putin and a great relationship with Zelensky. You knew them. You said you said you had the perfect words. You weren't going to tell people during the campaign, but you had the perfect words to bring peace. You promised that to the American people. But it turns out, surprise, surprise, that you, the ultimate bankruptor who bankrupted all of these casinos and all of the businesses and defrauded everybody. You, the sexual predator found civilly liable for sexual assault. You, the felon, someone who's literally a criminal who was involved in business record crimes.

9:14Ben Meiselas:You, who has been found to inflate and deflate all of the numbers of your assets in order to defraud various entities. Surprise, surprise, you lied. And now your response, your plan, your great words is to say, what a shame. What a shame. Oh, but then it's more fraud from Donald. This is what he posted this morning. The United States is working on a massive deal with respect to the purchase of potash from Belarus. Potash, like a fertilizer. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada. Very good news for our farmers and ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald Trump.

9:54Ben Meiselas:So you got to attack Canada and say, we're not going to get our potash from them. which we do, we're going to go and do a massive deal with Belarus, an ally of Russia. By the way, Belarus does a lot of business with Iran, which wouldn't that go against your economic D-Day, any country that does business with Iran? But you're going to do massive. Economic D-Day means we're doing massive deals with Belarus, and we want to do massive deals with Russia based on what Trump's planning. And we're going to give Xi Jinping the greatest state welcome ever for any state leader. You had Melania Trump this morning, by the way, posting.

10:36Ben Meiselas:And here's what we're going to, it's going to be meticulous. We are rolling out the red carpet for Xi. It's going to be beautiful. She did this whole post about that. Anyway, I digress. But going back to Donald Trump talking about, we're doing a massive deal with Belarus to screw over Canada. Okay, well, what does the president of Belarus, Lukashenko, have to say? This is from Nasa Neva, Belarus paper. Even if we wanted to supply potash to the West, there's nothing to supply. On September 21st, Lukashenko received a report from the chairman of the state customs committee, Vladimir Olvosky. During the conversation, he touched upon, among other things, the prospects of supplying Belarusian fertilizer to Western markets.

11:18Ben Meiselas:And basically what they say is we've already committed all of our potash to China and elsewhere. As a result of prior sanctions, we don't have potash to give Western countries at this point. So you'll have to wait until next year if we want to talk about potash. So that's what Belarus is saying, not just in response, they've been saying that for a while now, but it's a good way for Donald Trump to attack Canada because our idiotic vile predator leader in the United States, wants to do more destructive things to the United States as Canada goes elbow us up. And we see Prime Minister Carney meeting with the head of Norway, and he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and continues to build bridges and continues to now become the leader of the free world.

12:03Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump then posts the same people that said, this is again all from this morning, before I be early this morning, the same people that said we'll all be dead in 12 years because of global warming, a name since reborn to climate change because the planet was cooling, not warming, and nobody was dead, are the people that are now saying that AI is going to kill us, that robots are going to attack us, and everything is a disaster. This is more of a hoax than even that of Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and climate change. Whoever wins, AI wins. We're leading now over China and everyone else, and I'm going to keep it that way.

12:38Ben Meiselas:I'm not going to stifle growth of something that will be bigger than the industrial revolution or the internet itself. We will be careful. That's why we have a Department of Justice and other law enforcement bodies. Really, your own criminal defense attorney leads the Justice Department, which is now the Injustice Department. It's a racketeering enterprise to cover up the child sex trafficking ring that is the Epstein files. But yes, that's what you're saying is going to protect us from the abuses of AI and data centers. I'm sure the American people are deeply comforted knowing that this is the regime that covers up child sex trafficking rings in plain view.

13:17Ben Meiselas:Then you have U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer going on state regime media. And he's like, and look, I think the Chinese have been great when it comes to Iran. They've definitely steered clear of helping Iran. I mean, they're literally, like, do you not even watch what goes on in the BRICS summit or what goes on in the Shanghai cooperation organization or where these alliances. I mean, these people just think that we're just so utterly stupid. I mean, are they really this stupid? Are they this stupid and malicious? This is the U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer showing how economic D-Day is done here.

13:51Ben Meiselas:Play this clip. Thanks. Is the Iran war making this relationship more complicated? So it does add a layer of complexity. That being said, the Chinese have heard the president, They've heard Secretary Besant on Iran. And we have been very clear that they can't contribute materially to Iran's belligerence. We have asked them to moderate their oil shipments. Now they buy oil from Iran. Frankly, a lot of that oil is just not getting out. So whether they want it or not, it's just not available. And the Chinese have, generally speaking, steered clear of the Iran situation. Then you have J.D. Vance, by the way.

14:29Ben Meiselas:He takes questions ahead of his North Carolina departure. And J.D. Vann says, we continue to see a substantial amount of gas flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. It's great. Things are going really well there. That's what J.D. says. Play this clip. Well, I mean, I think the biggest update that we have, of course, is that we continue to see a substantial amount of oil and gas flow through the Strait of Hormuz, despite the Iranians terrorizing ships every single day. What the president has said is Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Then a reporter says, so how is Donald Trump's White House press ban not an attack on free speech?

15:05Ben Meiselas:And of course, J.D. Vance is like, well, Obama did it. Biden did it. They didn't do it. Obama didn't do it. Biden didn't do it. Just everything you say is Obama, Biden, right? That's what Kelly Loeffler all said. Oh, Biden. That's what Tammy Bruce said. Biden, Biden. It's all Biden and Obama's fault. It's like, grow the hell up. We're September 21st, 2026. You're two years into this despicable regime. Act like leaders. Act like freaking grownups. Here, play this clip of what he said. Let's play it. Special access. Sir, you talked a lot about free speech over the years. How is this not an attack on free speech?

15:40Well, they can still report on the Trump White House. They can still get the public reports. They can still, of course, talk to people in the administration and outside the administration. What the president has said is we're not going to give you special access inside the White House. The way that I think about it is if you go back to the Biden administration or the Obama administration, compare, let's say, Politico to Breitbart.

15:59Ben Meiselas:And then finally, J.D. Vance, again, just a vile, loathsome individual. He's like, so if you're going to engage in what's left wing propaganda, why should we give you special access at all? Here's what he says. Let's play this clip. Our negative, that's not representative of the American people. It's not representative of public opinion. So if you're going to engage in what is effectively far left propaganda, why would a Republican White House give you special access? Left wing propaganda. I mean, these people are such fools. Fortunately, I think the American people get it right now. Trump's approval, 29 percent, like the worst in history.
