3:57Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is panicking as catastrophic news is coming out of the Middle East from Donald Trump's unlawful invasion of Iran. The United States consulate in Dubai hit by Iranian drones. The United States CIA building in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, hit by Iranian drones. The U.S. air base in Qatar, the Al-Hudid base hit by Iranian drones, including a ballistic radar detection system hit by Iranian drones. The United States is running out of its munitions. Donald Trump is lying and claims we have unlimited munitions. But Donald Trump has now called a meeting of some of the biggest U.S. defense contractors to show up on Friday and to talk about how they can produce more weapons as the U.S.

4:40Ben Meiselas:is running low. And we know that Iran is able to make these Shahi drones and ballistic missiles very cheaply, while the U.S. is unable to keep pace with its own billion-dollar weapon systems. Here's what Reuters is reporting. The Trump administration plans to meet with executives from the biggest U.S. defense contractors at the White House on Friday to discuss accelerating weapons production as the Pentagon works to replenish supplies after strikes on Iran and several other recent military efforts. Five people familiar with the plans told Reuters. Companies include Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and others.

5:17Ben Meiselas:And remember Donald Trump saying, we don't have an issue with munitions, but he's calling this emergency meeting. By the way, doesn't this remind you of when Donald Trump invaded Venezuela and then brought in all of the oil companies to show up and talk about how they were going to divvy up Venezuela? Just take a look at some of this disastrous news that we're learning out of Iran as well. Iranian strikes damaged structures on or near U.S. military communications and radar systems at seven bases across the Middle East, the New York Times reports, noting at least 11 facilities hit in total, also noted by drop site damage, was identified at facilities in Bahrain, Qatar, which I just mentioned, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

6:00Ben Meiselas:Targets appear to include missile tracking radar systems, satellite dishes, and radoms used for long-distance military communications. Also, the Strait of Hermuse is essentially shut down at this point. As Christian Tribert writes, since Monday, just three oil and gas tankers. Let me repeat that. Just three oil and gas tankers have crossed the Strait of Hermuse, according to the latest Kepler data. It is a de facto closure, says Pickering Energy. You've got a significant number of vessels on either side of the strait, but no one is willing to go through. As Iran has said, if you go through, we will blow you up.

6:40Ben Meiselas:And as a result of this, we're seeing stock markets across the world are crashing. We saw South Korea stock market halted after an 8 % crash, which even went down to more of a 10 % crash, triggering a circuit breaker. The Japanese markets were crashing as well. Massive, massive problems affecting economic markets abroad. And we now have the images, folks, of the first confirmed fatalities in Trump's illegal war on Iran. We have the photos of the service members who were in Kuwait, whose leadership was reaching out to the Trump regime in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere and saying, we are being left unprotected.

7:26Ben Meiselas:These facilities that you have us in don't have any anti-drone systems. We need help here. Their requests were ignored, and this is the cost of war. And Donald Trump and his regime have now briefed Congress and stated that there will likely be many, many more deaths and many, many more service members seriously injured. Also, the United States is now planning on, they've already armed actually Kurdish militias. And I guess part of the United States thinking right now is they're going to try to coerce or pressure Kurdish militias to invade Iran in order to provoke a civil war in Iran. And that's supposed to encourage people in Iran to take over the country.

8:19Ben Meiselas:And I'm trying to understand the plan here. There were there was a bipartisan briefing on the Hill today where Donald Trump's Department of Defense and Donald Trump's State Department briefed lawmakers and lawmakers came out of this meeting, you know, and they looked absolutely horrified at what they heard that the Trump regime was not able to articulate any of the people. any coherent justification for the war of Iran and that this war in Iran is going to be lasting many, many more weeks, if not months, if not longer, and that the Trump regime has not ruled out boots on the ground. Lawmakers are absolutely horrified.

9:01Ben Meiselas:I will show you in a minute what some of those lawmakers were saying. In the meantime, as well, though, in Iran, the Islamic Republic is said to have announced who their new Ayatollah is. It's actually Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Matjabah Khamenei, has been chosen by Iran's senior clerics to be the new Ayatollah. He's as hard liner as you get. He's even more extreme than the Ayatollah who was just killed by the United States and Israel in the war. This guy, Montjaba, was the one responsible for massacring the 30 ,000 to 40 ,000 protesters that Donald Trump said he was going to help back in January.

9:46Ben Meiselas:No doubt that was part of the thinking of having Montjaba become the new Ayatollah. But in any event, this was really part of the succession plan. As I've stated before, the old Ayatollah was 85 years old. He wasn't expected to live that much longer. He was becoming pretty unpopular based on the economic troubles being felt by the people of Iran. Even Shiites who previously liked him were turning against him because of the economic conditions. And now the Trump regime, based on their ill-fated, ill-conceived, ill-planned, disastrous war, have now created a situation where they've turned the Ayatollah into a martyr and has rallied the Shiite community against Donald Trump.

10:31Ben Meiselas:and his regime. Very serious things going on, objectively, right? We started off this video talking about the U.S. consulate in Dubai, CIA headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia being hit, all of these military bases of the United States being hit. I'll also be very clear, the United States and Israel are striking Iran hard. And I mean, making the shock and awe campaign by the United States in Iraq look small in comparison. I mean, I've heard reports that the bombing campaign that's taken place already in Iran, specifically targeted at Tehran and other large cities, is like 2x, 3x, even more in terms of the size of shock and awe in Iraq.

11:15Ben Meiselas:And so there's been massive, massive attacks there. But one of the things that the Trump regime doesn't understand is how after all of these attacks is the Iranian government, the Islamic Republic still running things and still able to effectively shoot these ballistic missiles and Shahid drones into the neighboring Middle East countries where the U.S. has a presence and the U.S. has a base. But here's how Donald Trump is handling it right now. He's posting memes like this. I stand with Trump, the most badass president of all time with this AI image of him. This is, it's an account called Fruitsnacks that posted this meme.

11:56Ben Meiselas:Fruitsnacks is a QAnon espousing social media account on Donald Trump's social media platform. And this is what they're posting, the most badass president of all time. Weirdly, Donald Trump is also posting photos of New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani. and I'm not really sure. Is Donald Trump like a crush on the guy? I think so. Donald Trump posts, Zoran has come a long way embracing, of course, the Declaration of Independence while at the Oval Office. Big progress. President DJT, that's what he's posting while the United States is at war with Iran right now. He also posted, the Genius Act is being threatened and undermined by the banks And that is unacceptable.

12:46Ben Meiselas:I mean, what type of deranged things is he posting? We're also now learning that in addition to the Trump regime saying that they will be supporting Kurdish militias to do a ground invasion of Iran, The Trump regime is also considering providing military protection, including possible maritime escorts by the U.S. Navy to oil and natural gas tankers traversing the Strait of Hermes in a bid to cool energy prices that have surged since the conflict with Iran began. And it should be noted that in the history of the United States, this is like the fourth or fifth highest increase in the price at the pump, 12 to 18 cents a gallon higher right now in like a 24 hour period right now as a result of this disastrous war in Iran.

13:39Ben Meiselas:Horrific, horrific stuff coming out. Also, Donald Trump was with the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, yesterday in the Oval Office. And again, he was wearing heavy makeup this time on his neck to hide that neck rash of his. He's wearing makeup, Trump is, on both of his hands to hide the discoloration on his hand, to hide this horrific rash he has on his neck. And then, I mean, this is some really, really scary stuff. Donald Trump tells Friedrich Merz that his father, Trump says that Trump's father, who was born in New York City in 1905, Fred Trump was born in New York City. Trump said, my father was born in Germany.

14:20Ben Meiselas:My father was born there, I think he seems to suggest. Here, play this clip so you can hear it for yourself.

14:28Donald Trump:It's a shame. And that country, UK, and I love that country. I love it. My mother was born there. I love it. My mother was born there. My father was born. He knows all about my father. My father was born there. So, you know, places that you sort of automatically very, very feel warmly about. But the UK, what they're doing with energy and what they're doing with immigration is horrible. You have the norm.

15:01Ben Meiselas:As I mentioned, Democrats came out of that bipartisan briefing on the Hill where the State Department and Defense Department briefed Congress about or were supposed to brief Congress on the status of the war. Here's how Democratic Senator Blumenthal described what went down. Here, play this clip.

15:24Donald Trump:I just want to say I am more fearful than ever after this briefing that we may be putting boots on the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have. But I also am no more clear on what the priorities are going to be of the administration going forward, whether it is destroying the nuclear capacity of Iran or simply the missiles or regime change or stopping terrorist activities. And I think the administration owes it to the American people to have briefings, not just for members of Congress, but for the American public.

16:15Donald Trump:Nothing here should have been classified. It should be available to the American people.

16:21Ben Meiselas:And with Donald Trump covering up the Epstein files, remember I referred to this war as well as the Jeffrey Epstein war operation, Epstein Fury, a new YouGov poll that just came out yesterday finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump strongly. His overall approval is down to 38 percent. A new second term low right here. And look, I'm giving you all the data points why. We have the Wall Street Journal reporting. There are 47 ,635 Epstein files offline for review. Among the unreleased documents are a woman's unverified allegations against Donald Trump. The withheld files included Federal Bureau of Investigative Notes documenting a series of interviews the woman gave to agents in 2019 in which she alleged sexual misconduct by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein when she was a minor in the 1980s.

17:23Ben Meiselas:I'll just share with you this image as well. CNN reporters had to take cover mid-interview as Iran fired ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv. Look at what happened here. I'll play this clip for you right now.

17:36Donald Trump:But we have things coming in, so we are going to just un-mic. Dan, why don't you take the mic off? We can un-mic and then go downstairs. Yeah, I'm going to show you exactly where we go. All right. That's pretty dramatic. We do need to move pretty quickly. Yeah. Okay. And there we go. We're just going to get onto this camera. All right. And come with me, Dan, you can, um, you can just leave that there. Okay. All right. All right. I'm going to just move slowly here while Dan's coming with me. Okay. And we're going to move. So you hear the sirens now, and this is all around the area that we're in, in Tel Aviv.

18:13Donald Trump:So that initial warning, it was about, I think five or six minutes, Dan.

18:17Ben Meiselas:Meanwhile, you have a prime minister, Pierre Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, both condemning and frankly criticizing the United States for engaging in a war, quote, outside international law. French President Emmanuel Macron says France cannot approve or accept them. Prime Minister Pierre Starmer referred to the law, the war as unlawful. You know, also, while all of this is going on, too, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the United States also launched a war. Did you know this? The United States launched a war yesterday in Ecuador. That's right. The United States, it's being reported, did a narco, they did a military operation where it said it was rooting out narco terrorism in Ecuador, U.S.

19:10Ben Meiselas:military. On Tuesday, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched an operation against designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador, according to the Pentagon. And it should be noted that the president of Ecuador, Naboah, is a big Trumpy guy, visited Mar-a-Lago all the time. And Naboah's family owns like a produce corporation, a banana corporation. and there's been lots of allegations. And again, just allegations that have been made that the banana company was used to help smuggle cocaine. And again, the family denies it. I want to be very clear about that. But Trump and NABOA launching joint military.

20:03Ben Meiselas:We have military involved in on-the-ground operations in Ecuador right now as Trump and Nobola, who are both like these MAGA people, and they're both worried about enriching their families, are involved in that in Ecuador. So I don't want to take our eyes off of that. There's a war in Afghanistan between Pakistan and Afghanistan, war in Ecuador. Obviously, you know that the United States just invaded Venezuela. And according to Reuters, the U.S. has drafted an indictment that they are holding over the head of Delce Rodriguez, the Maduro regime current leader of Ecuador, who Donald Trump says we get along with Venezuela, Venezuela, that Donald Trump put in there to be his puppet.

20:53Ben Meiselas:But now they've done a draft indictment against Delce in order to try to get her to do everything that the Trump regime wants her to do in Venezuela. Now, the Trump DOJ denies that they have this indictment hanging over Delcy's head, but I think it's pretty good reporting that this indictment has been drafted. And by the way, Delcy should be removed. I mean, wasn't the whole point of installing a pro-democracy leader in Venezuela? But when you look at what Donald Trump's been saying in Venezuela or what Donald Trump is saying in Iran, that Donald Trump just wants to keep the regimes in power and find people who will help enrich him, help give him the oil.

21:35Ben Meiselas:That's his issue with Delcy. He wants more help getting his money over to the Qatari bank account for himself. And when it comes to the Islamic Republic, Donald Trump's not looking to put a pro-democracy person in charge. Donald Trump, Donald Trump's willing to have someone in the Islamic Republic who's just likes him. I mean, that, that, and he's not able to find that right now. And the leadership in the Islamic Republic don't want to do that. So anyway, that's where we're at war in Ecuador. And in addition to all these other wars, uh, the world is at war, whether, whatever you want to call that, you could call that, but I've just showed you the data points right now.
