Trump Sees the Damage and Panics...

0:00Ben Meiselas:We are now seeing the devastating damage caused by Iran's response to the U.S. military strikes last night. The U.S. hit Larik Island in Iran. Iran responded and hit U.S. military bases in the Middle East. And now we're seeing some devastation that was caused that the Trump regime is covering up. Donald Trump is in the Oval Office right now also ranting and raving like a lunatic. and the Trump regime is leaking out to one of their chief propagandists, Barack Ravid over at Axios, saying that the U.S. intends to mow the lawn by continuing to attack Iran and engage in more war crimes. They're calling it a mow the lawn operation.

0:45Ben Meiselas:What a bunch of war criminal sickos. Well, here is what we're learning. The IRGC announced that it shot down at least one MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Strait of Hormuz in the last 12 to 24 hours. We actually believe they may have hit two MQ-9 Reaper drones, and they've been showing some visual confirmation of that. We've seen dozens and dozens of MQ-9 Reapers get destroyed by Iran. Also, it does appear that a missile from Iran struck the U.S. air defenses over at the Muwafik Salty Air Base. We've already seen numerous U.S. service members previously killed at that base in Jordan over there. But it is clear that it was a direct hit as well, which we're seeing right now visually on the satellite imagery.

1:45Ben Meiselas:Also, there appears to be a ballistic missile impact over at the Prince Hassan Air Base on August 31st as well. We're getting visual confirmation of that. So, Barack Ravid over at Axios, he's the guy who Trump leaks everything to. And he's always like, three U.S. officials said Trump is considering a CENCOM plan for waging limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. They're referring it as a mow the lawn operations. Again, really sick language right there. Then Donald Trump just held a press conference in the Oval Office moments ago, flanked by some of the other most despicable and putrid vile creatures from this regime.

2:28Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's like, I'm gonna give Iran the SmackDown. I'm gonna give him the SmackDown. What do you like? Like The Rock from WWE? I'm gonna give you the, I mean, dude, shut up. You're so weak and pathetic. And the whole world knows you're just a loser. Here, play this clip. Surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn't mean we won't smack them. We'll see what happens. but we have the Strait of Hormuz in extremely good shape. You know, we're taking over. Many, many ships got through last night, as you know. And then lights out time for Donald Trump. He falls asleep. Play this clip.

3:11Ben Meiselas:Blood pressure, diabetes, and all the ravages of obesity because we got prices where they need to be. We can go on and on, but most favored nation pricing is on Trump Rx. And then he stays asleep for most of the press conference. You have Howard Lutnick saying a bunch of lies and Donald Trump playing this clip in just pharmaceuticals coming. So not only do you have the jobs, but you have the driving down the cost of drugs in America. Right. We all talk about affordability. Drug costs are the number one cost. Donald Trump is like, nobody will ever attack us. You know why? They're smart and they know not to attack us.

3:52Ben Meiselas:Well, you attacked Larik Island in Iran in the past 24 hours and they hit you back harder and again struck more U.S. military assets in the region. And now what? And oh, by the way, you also used dozens and dozens more interceptors, which are already being depleted. Great work, moron. Here, play this clip. of an emergency. So we have an emergency, including wars and lots of other things. We are fully equipped to handle it, but nobody's going to attack us. You know why? Because they're smart. More from this disastrous press conference, Donald Trump, who was clearly rotting away before our eyes and falling asleep and cognitively and physically deteriorating, does what, you know, people like him do.

4:41Ben Meiselas:He turns to RFK Jr., who's also a deeply sick and unwell human being, But Trump's like, are you good, Bobby? You good? You good? Here, play this clip. Made America special. Okay, Bobby, are you okay? I'm good, Mr. President. People should be asking you that, you sicko. Then Dr. Oz prevents RFK Jr. from walking back to his spot. Very bizarre moment right here. Let's play this clip. I can add one thing from the front lines. Trump, our exit you asked about, is incredibly popular with pharmacists. And the most common thing... A reporter then asked Donald Trump, Will you be talking to Xi Jinping when he comes to the United States about releasing some of the Americans who have been kept as prisoners there in China?

5:25Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump's like, I don't know, who are those people? Who are you saying? Here, play this clip. Mr. President, next or actually at the end of the month, Xi Jinping's upcoming visit. You've already been successful with Pastor Ezra Jinningri's release from China. will you be talking to him about other Americans release including Americans release

5:55who is it who well I'll speak to him about a lot look he's coming in a couple of weeks he looks forward to it I look forward to having him we've had a very good relationship as you can see even with the strain of hormones he's relatively inactive. He's been relatively inactive by comparison to what he could have been.

6:16Ben Meiselas:He's also like, she really likes me. He really, really likes me. Let me tell you what she's doing right now, you idiot. He's at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting in Kyrgyzstan. He's meeting with Putin. He's meeting with Iran's president, Pazeskian. He's meeting with Modi of India. He's meeting with a newly forming a world order that China is leading. Oh, and by the way, Wasn't it your regime, Donald, who threatened China? If you continue to support Iran, we're going to level the craziest secondary sanctions. Besant's like, you're not even going to know what hit you, China. And China was like, okay, fly.

6:53Ben Meiselas:Get out of SWAT you away, fly. And that's how they view the United States now. And Besant showed once again that he's all weaselly bark And absolutely no bite, pathetic losers in this Trump regime who are screwing you and the American people and the world and making things so much more damn expensive and unlivable while these Epstein class sickos cover up child sex trafficking rings. Donald Trump was then asked, so what are you going to do about prices for other things? You are doing this communist style import of foreign beef, undercutting American ranchers by 25 percent. Are you going to do that with other items?

7:36Ben Meiselas:Trump just blames Biden. Here, play this clip. Do you remember, you know, affordability? I inherited that from the Biden administration. We had very high prices. We had eggs that were selling at four times what they are now. we had all sorts of product that was just tremendously out of control. We had health care that was through the roof. This is going to bring down health care numbers that nobody's ever even envisioned before. Nobody. If I would have told you a year ago that we were going to pull off drug prices that would be down 50, 60, 70 percent, you would have said that's impossible. So just the way it is.

8:14Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump then says that Venezuelan oil is amazing. You really have to love that heavy oil. You know what it's good for, Donald Trump says? Asphalt. Hey, Donald, you idiot. First off, didn't you previously say that Venezuelan oil was garbage? You know why, though? It actually is garbage. It's tarry, it's sour, it's viscous, it's dense. It literally doesn't mix with the salt caverns in the United States where the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is here. You will have to build out billions of dollars of infrastructure if you want to be able to refine it, which is going to take 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

9:03Ben Meiselas:ExxonMobil has called Venezuela uninvestable. You know how you also know it's uninvestable? Because you just said private companies are going to be doing the deal with Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela, which by the way, violates Venezuela's constitution. But there is no private businesses who stepped up yet. That's why you have the Defense Department creating a Trump oil company that's going to be doing a deal with one of the bully chicos from the Chavista era. And right now, one of the corrupt individuals over there who screwed over the Venezuelans with their electricity. And you're going to be creating an oil cartel a la communism for your oligarch friends.

9:47Ben Meiselas:But it's not even going to work because Venezuelan oil is not easy to refine. So it combines kleptocracy, oligarchy and your utter stupidity that defines Donald Trump's whole life. Oh, yes. And his cover up of the Epstein files play this clip. But we're going to be taking all of that. We're going to be taking that oil out. It's all coming to the U.S. for refinery. It's all, you know, our plants, our refineries are specifically meant for Venezuelan heavy oil. Heavy oil is a good thing, not a bad thing. It's good for other things. You know that heavy oil is good for? Asphalt, roadways, all of that.

10:26Ben Meiselas:And then on the other hand, you had J.D. Vance in Michigan saying we're going to send crazy people to the curb, as though we didn't just see the craziest freaking people in the world right there play this clip. So I'm asking you to send the crazy people to the curb, send a message to the elected leadership of the Democrat Party that if you want us to vote for you, you've got to stop sending us crazy people to represent your party and help us elect some common sense, some principle. Help us elect Michael Bouchard and Mike Rogers. Keep fighting for this state. Keep fighting for this country. God love you, everybody.

11:02And thank you for having me.

11:03Ben Meiselas:Mike Rogers running for the Senate seat in Michigan is like, I know a con man when I see one. I do. I know a con man. It's you and the person I just showed and literally the con artists. We know they're con artists. We've observed, you idiots, what these people have done for the past two years and what they've done their whole life. But we've just seen what they've done. Like, do you think that we're all so freaking dumb that we just ignore what you've done to this country? you've ravaged and destroyed and you've pillaged and you've looted and you've enriched yourself and you're freaking oligarchs you act like we don't realize what you did that's why people hate you you vile piece of scum you i mean what do you think we are you think we're all stupid that's what they do they think you're stupid here play this clip streets and the contrast in this election i don't think can be more stark used to be a former or i was a former fbi agent i busted swindlers and the mob, drug dealers, murderers, human traffickers, terrorists.

12:08And I have to tell you this, I know a con man when I see one.

12:12Ben Meiselas:And let me show you who he's running against, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Here's what he said about J.D. Vance. Well, I'm sure he was doing so charismatically as he does everything. But it also speaks to the fact that there is no future in the idea that your entire message is about taking America back. If MAGA had a message for young people, we'd have seen it already, but it's not there. The idea that we're going to have to watch as they put a data center in our backyard so that they can automate out the future of all of the jobs that people are studying to be able to get, the idea that we should have in America that doesn't guarantee health care, that doesn't guarantee child care, like those ideas, they are bankrupt ideas.

12:55And so I get it that they're going to send J.D. Vance anywhere and everywhere to try and get kids to come back because he's like the youngest person that they have. But I think it's probably not going to work. I think young people are voting with their feet, with their future in mind. They want an America where corporations don't buy off politicians. They want an America where they have the right to a union. They want an America where we're standing up to the likes of big tech that's trying to automate out their futures. They want an America that is honest about where we spend our tax dollars rather than getting us into foreign wars we have no business fighting.

13:30That's the opportunity I think young people want, and they want to be a part of that. A lot of questions about, well, how are you going to get young people to show up and vote? Well, it starts with actually having conversations about the kind of future that they want for themselves.

13:42Ben Meiselas:And that's the conversation we're going to continue to have. And more from Dr. El-Sayed right here. Let's play. Why would you invite J.D. Vance, except for maybe you've got a Vance bromance? I don't know. Like, questions about J.D. Vance, they're a legion. We don't have more couches here than they have in Ohio. So I'm just trying to figure out why he would come.

14:25name.
