2:29Donald Trump has been screaming at his top aides as it is all falling apart. A new Wall Street Journal article says that Donald Trump is expressing massive frustration at his advisors that he's not getting thanked enough for whatever the hell he thinks he's doing with the Kennedy Center. The report says that Natalie Harp, Donald Trump's human printer, was showing him some of the articles that MSNOW, CNN, and Politico were writing about him, about his low approval rating. And that's when he decided he was going to ban those outlets after Natalie showed him the article. And folks, Donald Trump's staff is leaking to the press and to the Wall Street Journal in particular about just how angry Donald Trump is getting as he's not able to get his way.
3:18Folks, hide the ketchup and it's getting nasty at the White House. Now, Donald Trump, of course, was losing it late last night on social media per usual. He was posting the following gas prices were much higher under Biden than under Trump. So were almost all other prices, DJT. Donald Trump's supporters on his own social media platform, or I should say, former supporters were not having it one bit. They responded, gaslighting. No, they weren't. They really weren't. Pardon me. Gas prices are through the roof. Sure. No, they weren't. End the war, please. I don't care what gas prices were back then.
3:59I care about what they are now. diesel is$7.25 in Michigan. Now that's cheap. It's like$8.50 here in California. Go change your diapers. You're full of shit again. Donald Trump then posted a weird meme of himself, like the sex predator, like the deviant, like the sicko that he is, peering over a globe that says his hemisphere. So while gas prices are surging, diesel prices are surging, As wars rage on across the world, this is what he's posting, his hemisphere. Who the hell do you think you are, you loser lunatic? We all know what a fraud you are right now. Even your own former supporters now finally recognize it.
4:46But Donald Trump starts posting photos in his little safe place in his mind. He posts photos of himself playing golf in his Virginia club, hitting balls with Bryson D. Hitting balls with Bryson D. That's what Donald Trump posts, these deranged videos as we're at war, as the American people are suffering. That's what he's posting. He posted this weird AI image of the White House with garbage bags that say CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. I mean, this is his behavior, right? I mean, it is truly the behavior. You're no offense to deranged toddlers, fascist deranged toddlers, no offense, but that's how Donald Trump behaves.
5:28And then when you go to the White House, it says, the White House website, it says, welcome to the golden age. Yeah, that's how I'm sure American people feel like this is the golden age. No, maybe because you looted from the American people and you stole people's money with all your quid pro quos and you fly around on Qatari Air Force One with Natalie Hark. while the world is burning down because of your weakness, your pathetic nature, and your fraud. But that's not what the American people are feeling. We ate in a golden age. Just look at what's going on throughout the world right now. I mean, you just zoom in on, we don't even talk enough about this.
6:05Like obviously we talk about Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. We talk about how Donald Trump supported Saudi Arabia's attack on the Houthis, which also So backfired in Donald Trump's face as the Houthis on Sarala took over all of western Yemen. They're now pushing east. They now control the Bab al-Mandab Strait. So great work, Donald. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis control Bab al-Mandab. Saudi's east-west pipeline, the main power stations and pumping stations are destroyed. Way to go, Donald. We're out of weapons. I should also add Donald Trump was telling his staff at the end of this week that he was going to do massive strikes on the Houthis.
6:45Our top military people, they still exist, were telling Donald Trump, we're out of weapons. But Donald Trump said, I got off the phone with MBS and I told MBS, we're attacking Ansarala. It's going to happen. We're going to hit Sanaa. And then Ansarala stood up to Donald Trump. By the way, I had a top Houthi reporter on the Midas Touch Network whose brother, Muhammad al-Bukhati, is one of the top governors for the Houthis. Did you see the interview I did with Hussein al-Bukhati? And then Donald Trump backed down and did not strike the Houthis. He threw MBS under the bus. I'm going to do another video on Donald Trump caving to the Houthis and caving to Iran this morning.
7:22And then, you know, MBS thrown under the bus. You may know that part of the story, but we're not paying enough attention to like what's happening in Syria. Remember, Donald Trump brought over the new president of Syria, who used to go by the name Al Jelani, who's basically one of the head of like an Al Qaeda adjacent group or an Al Qaeda group over there. Al-Shara, as he's known now. And remember, he came to the White House and Donald Trump was spraying the perfume all over the guy and then sniffing him and saying how good he smells and how attractive he is. You remember what I'm talking about?
7:53I'll show you B-roll of when Donald Trump was spraying perfume and cologne and then sniffing the president of Syria. In Syria right now, in the past 10 days or so, there have been multiple ammunition depots that have just blown up. And so people are saying, is it Netanyahu regime? Is it people of the old Assad regime loyalists? Who's doing this? But this was the latest yesterday. Look at this insane close-up of the enormous blast blowing up of a Syria ammunition depot. You can see right here, this is what happened last night in Syria. Play this clip.
8:55Ben Meiselas:Just go back 10 days ago. The video I just showed you was Aleppo in Syria, but 10 days ago was in Idlib, another arms depot just spontaneously exploded everybody. And I put spontaneously exploded in quotes because this is happening throughout the world right now. Here, play this clip.
9:23Ben Meiselas:By the way, if you look at what's even happened in the United States yesterday, employees of a fishing tour company found and recovered a U.S. Lucas drone. The U.S. reverse engineered the Iranian Shahid drones. And in the U.S. they're called the Lucas drone. But a U.S. Lucas drone was loitering around Pensacola off the western coast of Florida. This drone, this U.S. copy of the Shahid was just in Pensacola and it was found by a fisher. I mean, a fisherman, that's what's going on in the Trump regime right now. I wonder what the RNC co-chair has to say. We talked to one of the, we talked to, we heard from one of the RNC co-chairs, Gruters.
10:10Remember that guy? He's like, everything's going amazing.
10:13Ben Meiselas:This is according to plan. The economy is crushing it. I just wonder, what does RNC co-chair Casey Crosby have to say about the economy when she was asked about it? Here, play this clip. But Casey, when you focus in on that, does that push aside some of the economic concerns that people have, especially at the gas pump right now in the grocery store? We get about 30 seconds. Yeah, there are a lot of different factors that people make decisions, you know, when they go into these elections. And were they better? We had a disaster on our hands from four years of President Biden. And when you compare President Biden's presidency to President Trump's presidency, American people are doing pretty good overall.
10:51You look at the working family tax cuts. I mean, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. I mean, that is money in Americans' pockets. And so we're going to be out talking about our plans, what we've accomplished and what we're going to do over the next two years to make life better for the American people. You want to talk about taco, not just Donald Trump saying that he was going to attack Ansarala, the Houthis, and then backing down. Not just Donald Trump saying yesterday morning he was going to wipe Iran off the map. Remember, he called state regime media and he said, I'm wiping Iran off the face of this map.
11:23I'm going to destroy the country and all of its people.
11:26Ben Meiselas:Not only a taco there, but also let's talk about the taco with China. We got a readout from China of the meeting between China's vice premier and with Treasury Secretary Besant. treasury secretary besant really besant i'm gonna secondary sanction china that's what i'm gonna do i promise if they do business with iran i'm gonna go after them on them they're like we're doing business with iran we don't believe in your unilateral sanctions get the hell away you gnat is basically what china said to besant when besant did economic d-day and then besant's like Well, let me invite you over and give you incredible treatment.
12:10Ben Meiselas:Here they are right over here. On September 20th, this is the Chinese readout. On September 20th, Chinese and US teams held candid in-depth and constructive exchanges during consultations on economic trade issues in New York City. Very tough guy there. Besant, very tough guy over there. And let's take a look at what's going on as the catastrophic war escalates in Ukraine. and after russia's invasion we see russia escalating in ukraine ukraine striking back in russia look at the major fire burning in kiev yesterday play this clip
12:52Ben Meiselas:and then i'll show you this over here this is launch footage by ukraine of the fp5 flamingo cruise missiles that were used to strike in the heart of Moscow. Donald Trump called Zelensky and said, you need to stop striking refineries in Russia. And Zelensky's like, okay, I'm not going to stop doing that unless there's a ceasefire. You said you have strong words, Donald, and you would get Putin to also agree to the ceasefire, but you haven't. So as long as we're under attack, We're going to attack Russia. So who has the cards now, Donald, is basically what Zelensky was saying. And then Zelensky released this launch footage of the FP5 Flamingos.
13:38Ben Meiselas:And look, these FP5 Flamingos, the fact that they were hitting this deep and they're hitting Moscow is showing you that Ukraine's been upgrading their technology as well. Here, play this clip.
14:02Ben Meiselas:And then several Ukrainian long-range kamikaze drones flew over Moscow. I showed you a bunch of other footage, so I'm not going to repeat some of the other footage that I showed you, but I'll show you this one right over here. This footage is within Moscow. You can see for yourself. Let's play this clip right over here.
14:28Ben Meiselas:And then also, this video is going ultra viral right now. And this is real. This is not like a fake video. Phone video taken in Tehran last night showed a bright, multicolored light over Tehran. And there was a UFO over Tehran that was, whatever this was, was very big. It was kind of flashing almost these like rainbow colors. Iranian authorities have not issued any official statement treating the object as a threat. No one really knows what this is, but you can see for yourself. Let's play it.
15:30Ben Meiselas:Now finally, let me show you one other angle right here in Aleppo of the ammo depot blowing up right over here. Let's play it.
