2:19Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference with Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Let me show you what went down. Donald Trump, again, just looking sickly. It's very bizarre. He started talking about the haircuts of the members of the press who were asking him questions. Here, play this clip. President Trump, a question to both of you, if you don't mind. I love his haircut. I'm going to try that. No, I love it. And then this reporter asked him a very good question. I mean, she said, why aren't you providing the tomahawks to Ukraine? Why aren't you supporting Lindsey Graham and other Republicans in the Senate and who are trying to impose these serious sanctions against Putin and label Putin a terrorist?

3:08Ben Meiselas:Watch how Donald Trump treats this female reporter. Again, it's really disgusting stuff. Here, play this clip. has done such an amazing job on the ukrainian children who were abducted by russia would you support senator lindsey graham's bill to declare russia a terrorist state and you have within your power the most powerful man on earth why don't you just enable ukraine to finish this war tomorrow um well if you knew anything about what you were talking about you'd be able you do i don't i don't think you do really i don't think you do because it's a little more complicated than that but It sounds easy.

3:45We're in the process of trying to make a deal. If we make a deal, that's great. If we don't make a deal, it'll be a lot of people are going to be paying a big price.

4:00Ben Meiselas:I mean, Trump is totally unhinged. This was a very, very strange press conference. A reporter then asked Donald Trump, you know, what's your response to the prime minister of Australia saying that there's a trade imbalance with Australia that's significantly in the United States' favor. I mean, the U.S. has a massive trade surplus. So why are you hitting your friend and ally Australia with these tariffs? And then Donald Trump just starts rambling about airplanes. You have to buy our airplanes. It's very strange. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, the prime minister mentioned that there's a trade imbalance that's very heavily in America's favor.

4:42Why does America slap such heavy tariffs on a friend and other? Well, we don't. Yeah. Well, we do in some cases. We do in many cases because we've been treated unfairly. But actually, the tariffs are very light. The one thing is you buy a lot of airplanes. So that helps because you buy a lot of the beautiful Boeings, the best of the Boeings. Boeing, and by the way, Boeing is really doing well. They have lots of orders and they're really doing a great job. They make a great plan. But Australia, because of its location, which is great. But one of the things dictated by that location is you have to order a lot of airplanes.

5:19So I guess we have that advantage. They need a lot of airplanes in Australia. And that gives us a little bit of an.

5:26Ben Meiselas:Another reporter from Australia then asked Donald Trump. So would you consider lifting the tariffs ever for Australia? I mean, given all the facts and data, which shows that there's a trade surplus. Australia is a friend. Why would you do this? And then Donald Trump just goes on this weird rant and rave that he always does about he solved eight wars and he's going to solve nine wars. Soon he just makes up numbers and I've created all of this piece and I'm great. He doesn't answer the question. And I mean, here's the thing when you watch this and to all of our Australian viewers, the Midas mates or the Midas down under, I mean, you see how, I mean, this is just a individual who's so unhinged and untethered from reality.

6:11Ben Meiselas:And he's a real threat to Australia, a real threat to the world. Here, play this clip. President, given the trade surplus that the US enjoys with Australia, would you consider lifting the tariffs that you've imposed on Australia? And can you give us any details about the critical? Yeah, well, the tariffs have been amazing because, you know, tariffs have been really a reason that I was able to settle almost all of the, you know, I've settled eight wars in eight months. Not bad. I have one more to go. It's Russia, Ukraine. And I think we'll get there. But it's turned out to be nasty because you have two leaders that truly hate each other.

6:46You know, you can't have it all. They hate each other beyond all else. And it makes it actually a little bit difficult. But of the eight deals, I would say because of tariffs, four or five of them were settled. It's an amazing thing, the power of tariffs in terms of our country. But tariffs have always been used against us. We never use them against anywhere else. And now you have a president that for national security reasons and other reasons is using them. And we've become a very rich nation again and a very secure nation again. But we've also become a nation that used that power of tariffs and the power of trade to settle five of the eight wars that I said.

7:27I settled eight. I'm very proud of that. Nobody else has settled one. I don't think there's been an American president that settled one. I think there probably hasn't been outside of the two countries involved or however many are at war. I don't think there's ever been an outside country that settled a war period. So I settled eight in eight months. I'm proud of that. Now, in the meantime, I'm running a country that's right now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. We were dead. A year and a half ago, we were a dead country. Now we're the hottest country in the world economically and otherwise.

7:55So but I will say this. Australia pays very low tariffs, very, very low tariffs. In fact, Australia pays among the lowest tariffs.

8:06Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is then asked a question about this ceasefire. It's not a peace deal. It's a ceasefire in the Middle East, which Israel and Hamas never signed. I just want to emphasize that. And it seems to be collapsing. Almost 40 Palestinians have been killed. Hamas has reasserted control. Israel has continued to shell and strike southern Gaza, also hitting Lebanon as well. Netanyahu doesn't support a two-state solution. Trump doesn't support a two-state solution. So what are we even talking about here? And then Donald Trump is like, Hamas, they need to behave. They need to behave, behave themselves here.

8:47Ben Meiselas:Watch this clip here. Let's play it. The Middle East. And now it's all, I mean, we have a little situation relatively with Hamas. And that will be taken care of very quickly if they don't straighten it out themselves because they're in violation of their agreement. This episode is brought to you by PrizePix.

10:59Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is asked about soybeans and the fact that our soybean farmers are all going bankrupt. You'll recall Trump gave$40 billion of our taxpayer money to Australia while our farmers are experiencing farmageddon. It's also our construction workers, our manufacturing workers. Frankly, all Americans are suffering, but Argentina is getting a$40 billion bailout while 20 million Americans are about to lose their health care. You know, they've got universal health coverage in Argentina, while our health care here in the United States is being ripped away from so many. So Trump's asked about soybeans and he goes, you know, I want them to buy soybeans.

11:36Ben Meiselas:You know, I used to speak to Xi Jinping all of the time. Biden never called Xi Jinping. Biden never did Biden this. Well, Donald, when former President Biden was the president, China was buying our soybeans at a significantly high rate. 60 % of the sales of our soybean farmers were being sent to China under Biden, but not under you because of your failed trade war against the world. Here play this clip. Korea, China, and I will have a really fair and really great trade deal together. I want them to buy soybeans. They stopped buying our soybeans because they thought that was punishment. And it is punishment to our farmers, but we're not going to allow that to happen because I made a great trade deal with China, a$50 billion trade deal.

12:20And they were great about it. They were doing everything that they were supposed to do. And then when Biden came in, you know, I used to call President Xi all the time to say, thank you, or you're not buying enough. In other words, they were supposed to buy. Biden, do you think Biden ever called him? I don't think Biden ever called him. You think Biden lied awake at night thinking about trade with China?

12:40Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump is asked, why did it take you nine months to meet with Prime Minister Al Benisi? He didn't meet with him at the G7 meeting in Canada, although Donald Trump left early and fled that thing immediately and didn't really meet with anyone. And he blew off meetings with Modi from India and so many other world leaders who are expecting to meet with him. And then one of the things the reporter says as well is it because you don't like Ambassador Rudd. You don't like he said the former prime minister as well of the Labour Party there. You don't like that. He said negative things about you.

13:15Ben Meiselas:And then you'll see how unhinged Donald Trump becomes here. Play this clip.

13:46Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Do you sit back?

13:53Ben Meiselas:Before I took this position, Mr. President. I don't like you either. I don't, and I probably never will. Go ahead.

14:03No, you what? Go ahead, behind you, President.

14:06Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump says that the war on Ukraine, Russia's war on Ukraine doesn't affect the United States in any way. Here, play this clip. Unbelievable. It's a bloodbath. It's the worst since the Second World War, the worst number of people. And, you know, it doesn't affect us in any way. We don't pay anything because now they pay us for the weapons that they get. The NATO is paying us for the weapons, as you know. It doesn't affect. I guess you could say that's a positive thing. They pay us, but I'm not interested in that. I did straighten it out. And Donald Trump says that he doesn't think that Ukraine can win the war against Russia.

14:42Ben Meiselas:He goes, they could still win, but I don't think they're going to win. Let me show you this clip right here. Mr. President, on the war that you haven't solved yet, the Ukraine-Russia situation, have you now locked in a meeting? And can you explain, just a few weeks ago at Anka, you said that Ukraine could possibly win the war and - Well, they could. They could still win it. I don't think they will, but they could still win it. I never said they would win it. I said they could win. Anything can happen. You know, war is a very strange thing. Next, Donald Trump is asked a question about China potentially taking over Taiwan and whether the Australia, UK, US, the AUKUS alliance is important in order to be a check against China's potential territorial ambitions in taking over Taiwan, to which Donald Trump says, you know, I don't think AUKUS will be needed for that.

15:39Ben Meiselas:yes, Taiwan is the apple of Xi Jinping's eye, which is the same expression that Donald Trump uses to talk about Ukraine being the apple of Putin's eye. It's a weird phrasing. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, yeah, your Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, in his Shangri-La speech in, I think it was May, warned about the potential likelihood or threat of President Xi ordering an invasion of Taiwan. 2027 is also the year that Fleet Base West is supposed to start rotating those US and UK submarines. Do you see AUKUS as the deterrent for China in the Indo-Pacific? Yeah, I do. I think it is, but I don't think we're going to need it.

16:21I think we'll be just fine with China. China doesn't want to do that. First of all, the United States is the strongest military power in the world by far. It's not even close. Not even close. We have the best equipment. We have the best of everything. And nobody's going to mess with that. And I don't see that at all with presidency. I think we're going to get along very well as it as it pertains to Taiwan and others. Now, that doesn't mean it's not the apple of his eye, because probably it is. But I don't see anything happening. We have a very good trade relationship. We're going to have a very good I think when we leave South Korea could be wrong, but I think we'll end up with a very strong trade deal.

17:01Both of us will be happy. I don't see that happening now.

17:06Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump trashes the former Biden administration. This is what Donald Trump loves to do on the world stage, trash the former administrations in front of our international allies, or I should say former international allies. Here, play this clip. He was an incompetent president. We had an incompetent president, but you don't have that anymore. Then Donald Trump says that he thinks that China is in trouble and that they're not going to make it. He thinks China's not going to make it. It's all projection, by the way. The United States is in deep trouble right now. Structurally, America is pedestal by pedestal, legs of the pedestal.

17:45Ben Meiselas:It's cracking our economy. It's brick by brick by brick right now is what we're seeing. And actually, China's economy is doing great. China's found alternative markets outside of the United States to import from. But this is Donald Trump projecting here. Play this clip. Almost like saying we don't want to do business with you, but it's probably nicer. Saying you're going to pay 158, 157 percent tariff is a nicer way of saying that we don't want to do business with you. And if they don't do business with us, I think China's in big trouble. I'll be honest with you. I think China is. I don't know that they even make it.

18:23I really do. I believe that they're in big trouble and I don't want them to be in big trouble. I want them to do great. I want them to thrive, but we have to thrive together. It's a two way street.

18:33Ben Meiselas:I think. Then Donald Trump goes on this rant again. Look what I've done. I've made peace in the Middle East for the first time ever. There's peace in the Middle East, everybody, because I say it's peace in the Middle East. Therefore, it's peace in the Middle East. Here, play this clip. You just alluded to the violence in the Middle East. What steps is the administration taking to maintain the ceasefire? Well, a lot of a lot of steps. And right now it's in the hands of others. You know, we have 59 countries that agree to the deal. We have a peace in the Middle East for the first time ever. We made a deal with Hamas that, you know, they're going to be very good.

19:05They're going to behave. They're going to be nice. And if they're not, we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them if we have to. They'll be eradicated. And they know that. so they they went in they went in and uh i don't believe it was the leadership but they had some uh rebellion in there among themselves and they killed some people you know pretty a lot of people but this is a violent group you know you probably noticed over the last hundred years this is a very violent group of people and uh they got very rambunctious and they did things that they shouldn't be doing. And if they keep doing it, then we're going to go in and straighten it out and it'll happen very quickly and pretty violently, unfortunately.

19:48Ben Meiselas:And look, there's not peace in the Middle East. Bodies of 57 Palestinians brought to Gaza hospitals in the past 27 hours. Gaza Health Ministry says the humanitarian aid being blocked by Israel, Hamas asserting, control over Gaza, strikes on southern Gaza, Israel says, because they said the Palestinians violated the ceasefire. As I mentioned, there were strikes in Lebanon. In terms of the death count, close to 40 Palestinians have died that we know of, right around 40. And so I don't really see how this is even being called a ceasefire. When Biden was able to get 83 % of the hostages return, Trump did get some hostages return, which is something that should be applauded, right?

20:40Ben Meiselas:I mean, getting the remaining hostages back is great. The idea of a ceasefire in theory is a good thing. But when you don't say you support a two-state solution or a free Palestine living next to a free Israel side-by-side peacefully, when you don't require Hamas to disarm, when you don't require Israel to recognize a two-state solution. I'm not really sure what we're even talking about here at all. So you have that. And then, by the way, in the background of all of this, we learned today that the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service and their military intelligence services have significantly scaled back intelligence sharing with the United States due to ongoing concerns about the reliability and political ships fearing that sensitive information provided to the United States could end up with China or Russia or the United States who could use it to harm our allies.
