2:09Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump continues to destroy himself, his regime, and everything around him. He is a walking wrecking ball right now. last night when he was aboard Qatari Air Force One heading back to Washington, D.C. from North Carolina, where he gave an utterly deranged speech, where he was dancing in front of the crowd as our economy is in absolute shambles, as he told people, you know what, gas prices are very inexpensive. They should actually be much more. And he said he doesn't care about it because he says the war is just going so well that it's all worth it. But when Donald Trump left North Carolina headed back to DC.

2:48Ben Meiselas:You could see him through the windows of Qatari Air Force One. Take a look right here. He was holding a gigantic placard that said Kennedy Center demolition. Zoom in right there. Kennedy Center demolition. Now, earlier in the day, you could actually see, according to a legal observer who was monitoring the Kennedy Center for the lawsuit to try to block Donald Trump from destroying the Kennedy Center or engraving his name into Kennedy Center. You could see forklifts carrying what appear to be more permanent forms of fencing, but the forklifts were then ramming into the pillars of the Kennedy Center several times as if trying to destroy the Kennedy Center via the forklift ramming into it.

3:37Ben Meiselas:Because a federal judge told Donald Trump, you can't engrave your name into the Kennedy Center. That violates my previous order that you can't rename the Kennedy Center, the Trump Kennedy Center. You can't get around it by engraving your name into it. If you want to do it, just get Congress to pass a law. Donald Trump has been so livid, he wants to destroy the entire Kennedy Center. And so he sent a forklift apparently yesterday to start causing damage to it. So he can say, You see, it's damaged. I guess it has to all be torn down. And while our economy is suffering, while we're in this never-ending war in the Middle East that no American wants to be in, while Donald Trump continues to cover up child sex trafficking rings in the Epstein files, there he is aboard the quid pro quo jet, the Qatari jet, looking at a placard saying, Kennedy Center demolition.

4:33Ben Meiselas:This is how much of a lunatic he is. The official White House account says the Kennedy Center board voted nearly unanimously to close the building immediately for safety reasons and prepare for reconstruction. Renovation cannot begin until the D.C. Circuit Court rules on the board's approved name to name it the Trump building. It's ridiculous. In the meantime,$17 million raised by Donald Trump has been placed in the Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. There's a community note that says Congress recently allocated$257 million for Kennedy Center renovations. What the hell are you talking about?

5:17Ben Meiselas:A federal judge has issued an injunction preventing you from doing this. This is how psychotic he is. He needs his name engraved or else he's sending forklifts to demolish it. This says the American people are dealing with grievous harms inflicted upon them by the Trump regime. It's absolutely outrageous. It is conscious shocking. Meanwhile, the Defense Department, which unlawfully calls itself the Department of War, and then proceeds to lose the catastrophic wars it engages in that it should never have been involved in. Post image like this. The United States will never be an effective altruist country.

5:59Ben Meiselas:The hell are you talking about? What a weird expression to even put in a sentence. We will never be an effective altruist. The hell is that? What are you talking about? And this is the whole meme of Donald Trump doing a weird fist thing. And then I just looked up. Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that uses evidence and reason to identify the most effective ways to help others. It comprises many members and associated organizations finding cost-effective ways to improve the world. Sounds pretty good to me, but the State Department and the Defense Department and the Trump regime's White House account says we will never do effective altruism.

6:42Ben Meiselas:Again, we have now become a nation of lunatics because of the Trump regime. That's how the world perceives who we are because that's how the Trump regime behaves. It's ridiculous. I mean, but just look at the data. Look how Trump broke what he inherited. Gas prices when Trump took office,$3.12. They're now on average$4.32. But that's deceiving. By you, it's probably way higher. And very soon, we're going to be seeing likely gas prices, national average over$5. I think diesel will quickly go to$7 or$8. In California, it's$9.99. In North Texas, they're out of diesel. Certain areas in California were running out of diesel as well.

7:28Ben Meiselas:We're going to have massive oil shortages very soon. This isn't hyperbole. It's the reality of the supply chain shock. We will soon be seeing oil shortages across the country right now of diesel. And then we will be seeing gas shortages to follow as well. Our salt caverns in Texas that contain our strategic petroleum reserves are so depleted right now, they may implode within itself. And then you have Iran's parliament leader, M.B. Ghalibov. He's just posting away saying, told you. He's posting the Taylor rule, a central bank formula for how to deal with interest rates. That's a fairly complex formula.

8:13Ben Meiselas:But what M.B. Galaboff pointed out before the Federal Reserve raised the interest rates, which we all expected it was going to be due, what they were going to do is the factor that can't be controlled by the Straits Taylor formula is the risk premium. That is Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis controlling the Red Sea, the East-West pipeline by Saudi Arabia significantly destroyed and shut down. I mean, Saudi Arabia can do all the propaganda at once and says, I think it's going to be up in the next few days. We're going to connect other pipelines. That ain't happening. And we're going to see that be another major factor.

8:52Ben Meiselas:Every day, the price of diesel, the price of gas is going to surge. I mean, look at the price of crude. There is no end in sight as Donald Trump is out there on this rampage against the world right now while he destroys the global world order and stability. And he's holding in his hand, destroy the Kennedy Center. And then he posts things like this, only Trump. I mean, this is the meme of his helipad. Only Trump. What does that mean? Only Trump. How about we the people? How about America was not founded on only Trump? We the people. You're supposed to be a public servant, you asshole. And you're supposed to take care of the people and take care that laws are faithfully executed.

9:38Ben Meiselas:He then goes, the hoax buster. And he's been saying lately that the war is a hoax. He says climate change is a hoax. He says anything that has to do with Trump and Russia is a hoax. He says that AI is a hoax. He says that data centers are a hoax. He says that the women who accused him of sexual assault, it's a hoax. He says the Epstein files are a hoax. He says it's all one big hoax. Only he has the answers. The guy whose entire life has been bankrupting thing after, before it was in politics, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt. Only that guy, he's the hoax buster.

10:18Ben Meiselas:Everything else, hoax, the guy who's bankrupted everything and has demonstrated his whole life that he's an effing loser. He's the only person who has all of the answers according to him right here. And then it's just the Trump effect. What's the Trump effect. More U.S. manufacturing means stronger supply chains and more American jobs. Stronger supply chains? You're bragging about strengthening supply chain resilience? Are you just the dumbest, stupidest people in the world while you destroyed global supply chains? And then he does this post right over here. It's like him looking like this. Americans' incomes are up.

10:58Ben Meiselas:Poverty is down. Thank you, President Trump. No, thank you for what? for putting more Americans in poverty, for causing mass economic devastation in our conduct. We all feel it. As I said before, I often get asked, hey, Ben, what would your advice be on political messaging heading into the midterms? What's your political? I go, political messaging, what the hell are you talking about? What's your lived experience right now? If you've lived these past 20 months or so with the Trump regime and you think things are great, if you like him dancing like a freaking clown while the world looks at us with horror, if you like that crap, it's nothing I can do.

11:41I mean, go to the airport bunker where Donald Trump gave that speech in

11:46Ben Meiselas:North Carolina and said, we need to cut off trade with the world if you want to get rich, right? Where Donald Trump said, you know, oh, everything's a hoax against him. AI is a hoax database, data centers are, you know, if you want to be a part of that, good luck. If you want to, while he says gas is inexpensive, if you want to sit there while he says that stuff to your face, I ain't getting, there's nothing I'm going to do to persuade you. You just, you live a different life and you have a different set of values. Good luck with that. I mean, here he was at the event. He goes, you have higher gas.

12:21It's very inexpensive. and for the price to pay for all the greatness, I actually think gas should be more expensive, he says. This is what he said at that deranged speech in North Carolina before flying back on Air Force One and then having a placard that says demolish the Kennedy Center. Here play this clip. They can't go on. The nation's destroyed. But I have to say, you have a little higher, you have a higher gas. It's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. Remember that it's a little more. It's even if it was frankly, even if it was a lot more, but that's going to come tumbling down.

12:57OK. Meanwhile, just so you saw for yourself, his chairman of the Federal Reserve, who he appointed, Kevin Warsh, who Trump appointed because Trump said this guy, he's going to lower interest rates. Well, they rose it. Not only did they raise the interest rates, but only was there a hike. It was unanimous. It was a 12 to nothing vote. all of the board members of the Federal Reserve said, hike, why? Because inflation is surging. Here's what Kevin Warsh said when he was asked, what's your message to Trump? And then he goes, I don't really have a message to Trump. That's just not what I do. Watch for yourself here at Play This Clip.

13:35I have to ask, what is your message here to President Trump, who has repeatedly called to cut interest rates, not raise them? I've got nothing for you on a discussion with the president. But I won't make that count as your question. More from Donald Trump at that North Carolina speech where Donald Trump said, you know what? I think we should just stop doing trade with all countries. If we stop doing trade with all countries that we have a deficit with, that's how we're going to get rich. We'll get so rich by doing no trade. We'll get so rich by doing no trade. I mean, this is really a lunatic.

14:13What do you mean we're going to get rich by shut down all trade here? play this clip. And if we stop trading with every country that we have a deficit with, which is most of them, and which would be very easy to do, we'd make at least$1.5 trillion a year. We do that because it's almost like a reflex. Meanwhile, Congress now in recess. So because we have officially shut down the house, we can say this definitively. And Jamie Dupree has chronicled this quite well. Lawmakers have only worked 15 days of legislative business in the past five months, four and a half months or so. They've worked 15 days.

14:58And you want to know one of the reasons that they jet out of there so quickly? They're covering up child sex trafficking. Okay. They're covering up for rapists. They're covering up for sexual assaulters. They're covering up for a massive. They are the cabal covering it up and they don't want the Epstein discharge petition to be passed. They don't want investigations. They shut that down. You know what else they don't want? They don't want hearings into the catastrophic war. They don't want hearings, period. And so they shut it. You saw what happened when there was one day of hearings and Kash Patel had to testify and Treasury Secretary Besson.

15:39They don't want any of that. They don't want any of that. And that's the type of oversight and accountability that will happen when Republicans lose control of the House. I mean, this is the type of crap that they were doing. Did you see this? Mitch McConnell, when he was in the committee, in the Agriculture Committee, the Republicans had to tell him how to vote because he didn't know where he was. And he still didn't know where he was when they told him how to vote. Did you see this? This is what our government has become play this clip. The question is on reporting the Agriculture Act of 2026 as amended as an original bill, the clerk will call the roll.

16:20Senator Klobuchar. No. Senator Bennett. No. Senator Smith. No. Senator Durbin. Senator Booker. No. Senator Lujan. No. Senator Warnock. No by proxy. Senator Welch. No. Senator Fetterman. No. Senator Schiff. No by proxy. Senator Slotkin. No by proxy. Senator McConnell. No. No. I got this. I got this. I got this. Senator McConnell. Aye. Senator Hoven. Aye. Or how about this right here? Mitch McConnell leaving the Senate yesterday played this clip. Go for it, yes. Any other bills you're looking forward to? Oh, yeah. Are we voting tonight, Senator? When can we expect you back, Senator? and here's how they're kind of pushing him into the different rooms just so he can raise his hand and he doesn't even know what he said he doesn't know where he is anymore this is ridiculous here play this clip leader mcconnell how do you feel

17:47and all the while donald trump was dancing in gastonia north carolina at the airport you can see for yourself. This is Donald Trump disembarking from Marine One as he's followed into his vehicle late last night by Natalie Harp when he was in the NATO summit. Remember him and Natalie hid in the catering container, terrified that Iran was going to kill him? That's the commander. That's the loser commander. There he goes. There he goes.
