Trump's Day Gets Even Worse….

0:00Ben Meiselas:This is a breaking news alert. Trump's day just got even worse. Moments ago, the IRGC announced that yet another supertanker in the Strait of Hormuz exploded after hitting a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. The supertanker was called the Algea and it entered into that restricted area south of the Strait of Hormuz despite prior warnings. According to the statement just issued by the IRGC, the tanker struck a naval mine and exploded with crews unable to contain the fire as flames are engulfing the vessel. The vessel is now completely destroyed. The IRGC reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and under its control and that the mines have not been swept despite the Trump regime's lies to the contrary.

0:56Ben Meiselas:Also, we are now learning that the IRGC was also able to shoot down an American MQ1 drone over the sky of the Strait of Hormuz. Yes, this isn't Groundhog's Day, yet another MQ1 was destroyed, and Iran has been able to destroy right? Billions of dollars worth of these MQ-1s and MQ-9s and other drones. And this follows last week where multiple unmanned submersive drones and unmanned submarine-like drones were, and also MQ-1s, the air drones were able to be struck down by Iran. This is the third MQ-1 drone that was shot down by Iran in the past week alone. And more photos are now coming out of Saudi Arabia, the satellite footage over here.

1:48Ben Meiselas:We're seeing yet another Saudi East-West pipeline pumping station that was damaged in the recent attacks. This is a different photo from what I previously showed you. This is a different area. So the attack on the East-West pipeline was not merely just kind of one pumping station, multiple pumping stations have been destroyed. There's really no way the east-west pipeline is going to be able to move crude again for a number of weeks. And that usually moves about five to seven million barrels of oil every single day from the east to the west right there. Now, Iran's President Pazeshkian just gave a speech where he looked at Donald Trump in the cameras and says, fight like a man, you coward.

2:38Ben Meiselas:This is coming from Iran's President Pazeshian, who just wrapped up a very successful trip to the BRICS block, where he and other BRICS nation leaders talked about more cooperation with each other. We saw him photographed with President Xi Jinping of China, with Prime Minister Modi of India. He also met with the leaders of the UAE, of Abu Dhabi, of course, also meeting with Putin. President Pazeshkian of Iran challenged Donald Trump. If you think that you want to take us on, then bring your military in. Let's go and fight. If you want war, fight man to man. Stop shooting civilian cargo tankers.

3:23Ben Meiselas:Stop bombing schools and hospitals and infrastructure. stop having CENTCOM brag about blocking 100 civilian cargo ships when this provides food and medicine and other supplies to the people of Iran and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse we're learning about the US jet fuel price surge again we've been talking about diesel of course surging we've been talking about the price of gas surging you know that by now let's not forget about jet fuel, right? And so when the crude is taken, it goes into these refineries and the refineries then are producing, right? The gas and the diesel and the jet fuel and all of these things.

4:07Ben Meiselas:Well, US jet fuel has now surged to$4.43 a gallon, up 96 % since the war began and 61 % in the last 10 weeks, with a 10 % rise in the past week alone. As a direct result, consumer U.S. airline fares jumped 23 % year over year in August, with most of the recent crude oil rally not even yet in the data. And by now you know it's only going to go up even more, with the Houthis controlling the Red Sea, Iran continuing to control the Strait of Hormuz, the East-West Pipeline being shut down. And again, we talked earlier today as well about the Joliet facility, the refinery, that Exxon refinery in Illinois.

4:56Ben Meiselas:That was shut down as well. It had some technical power outage. We saw the black smoke flaring there. Awfully interesting timing that a refinery in Illinois just all of a sudden started flaring all this black smoke and shut down with all of this taking place. Hmm. I wonder what could have happened there. Well, with the Trump regime, they'll just continue to cover up everything. And meanwhile, with all of the news that I just reported on there, we learned that the Netanyahu regime just bombed a Doctors Without Border bus today in Gaza, A bus operated by the Doctors Without Borders carrying 10 humanitarian workers was damaged in Gaza Strip when an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle that was two meters away.

5:45Ben Meiselas:That's what we're learning at over there. As the day gets worse, J.D. Vance, vice president, was in Kansas. He was supporting Roger Marshall. Roger Marshall's the current MAGA Republican senator there. He used to be an OBGYN, an obstetrician, gynecologist. And the New York Times recently did an expose how he filed over 700 lawsuits against his patients. He did wage garnishments. He destroyed people's credit. If they owed 100 bucks or 1 ,000 bucks, but even 100 bucks, 150 bucks for operations, he would sue all of his patients. And he's, of course, been a Trump bootlicker. He loves the tariffs against the world that have harmed the people of Kansas.

6:31Ben Meiselas:I showed you over the weekend the Kansas State Fair debate that he had with Adam Hamilton, who's a pastor and somebody who I thought gave an incredible debate performance. Let me show you over here as J.D. Vance got booed during this speech that he gave in Kansas. and J.D. Vance's speech was basically saying, you know, Adam Hamilton, he may be a pastor, but he's not really, he's not a real Christian. The real Christians are the ones who rip away your healthcare and sue the patients. That's what Jesus would have won. Again, J.D. Vance is just such an utter fraud. Here, play this clip.

7:15Roger.

7:19Oh, I see. I see we have a guy who is protesting. Sir.

7:37The last.

7:53You know, the last time I gave a speech and we had a guy who was interrupting, he had the common courtesy to bring a Mexican flag so we knew where he stood.

8:16Now this guy, this guy, I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, here's what happened. is he decided to come in and lie about my very dear friend, Doc Marshall, because the reality is that Doc Marshall has stood up for every day of marriage. Did you know that helping dolphins led to the first essential fatty acid discovery in over 90 years? It's called C15, and it's a total game changer for aging healthier. Fatty 15 co-founder, Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, discovered C15 while working with the US Navy to improve the health of older dolphins. It turns out C15 is a foundational nutrient that actually strengthens our cells.

8:53Without it, we develop cellular fragility syndrome, a deficiency that affects one in three people worldwide, causing our cells to age faster. Fatty 15 repairs age-related damage and protects your cells from breaking down. It's actually shown to have three times more cellular benefits than omega-3. By activating pathways that regulate sleep, mood, and metabolism, it helps you feel better now and stay stronger as you get older. In fact, 70 % of customers report deeper sleep, calmer moods, and better energy within just 16 weeks. Because we're all aging, healthy aging needs to start now, and Fatty15 is the science-backed way to do it.

9:28I'm a huge fan of Fatty15, and I've personally felt the benefits. Fatty15 was developed to support healthy aging for all, from kids to parents to grandparents. That's why award-winning Fatty15 is now available as pure capsules, delicious apple mint gummies for teens and adults, and yummy berry blast gummies for kids.

10:10Ben Meiselas:And notice J.D. Vance is like, you know, there was that other protester during the Republican convention. At least he had the Mexican flag. Remember, I reported that that was all a setup and that that wasn't even a real protester at the Republican midterm convention. Lots of people who were there were saying the guy was clearly appeared to be an actor or someone who was in on what was going on there. Then you had J.D. Vance implying that the protester that was at this Kansas event is gay. He was actually representative of the organization and that's why he was unhappy. He's saying that Adam Hamilton's church supported a pride march or supported a group believing that all humans are created equal, whether you're gay, straight, trans, whatever.

11:02Ben Meiselas:And that J.D. Vance is saying, nope, Jesus would not like trans people. Jesus doesn't like gay people. By the way, J.D. Vance thought he was gay in high school. Go read J.D. Vance's, don't read his book, but he believed he was gay. And then his mama, his mama papa, his mama papa papa, mama papa papa did like gay conversion therapy or told him he's not gay. And he's like, I'm not gay. I'm not gay. Then he was anti-Trump and he's like, I'm not, not, I'm not anti-Trump. Mama papa. Here, play this clip. What Adam Hamilton did, he made sure that his church was a key financial sponsor of something called Pride Fest in Kansas City.

11:43He took, that was our little protester friend. He was actually a representative of that organization. That's why he was unhappy. He took the donations from his.

11:55Ben Meiselas:Then J.D. Vance said, you know, when you start putting American homes into the hands of American citizens and you take out the immigrants, that's why we're seeing home prices drop. JD, I'm not sure what world you're living in right now. Home prices are not dropping right now, okay? And mortgage rates are over 7%. The 10-year treasury yield is over 5%. The third year is approaching 6%. People can't afford homes, JD. Here, play this clip. That millions of people who should have never been here to begin with, as they've exited our country, we started to see finally some pressures on pricing come down in the United States of America.

12:32Remember, under Joe Biden, the cost of a median-priced home more than doubled. In four years, the price of a home doubled under Joe Biden. But now, for the first time in five years, rents are falling, especially, by the way, in the cities and the towns where you see the biggest drop in illegal immigration. The reason is simple. When you start putting American homes into the hands of American citizens rather than illegal immigrants, you see that price start to come down and that's what we got to keep doing.

13:04Ben Meiselas:And then J.D. Vance has his own take on Christianity. He's like, Adam Hamilton, not a real Christian, not a real Christian. That's radical left-wing radicalism. If you want to be a real Christian, you got to rip away people's healthcare. You got to put immigrants in little dog cages. Remember the reporting I did earlier today that the independent federal watchdog, the inspector general within the Department of Homeland Security, the government entity said that the Department of Homeland Security was putting immigrants in little dog cages so that they could reflect on their behavior issues. I mean, how sick is that?

13:43Ben Meiselas:That's how, according to J.D. Vance, real Christians put human beings into little dog cages rip away their health care and sue them i'm jd vance you're playing this clip so let's refue democrat pastor adam hamilton thinks it's a sin to be white and a sin to raise cattle and eat meat but he's okay with supporting groups that spit on god-fearing americans and mock everything that we hold dear ladies and gentlemen that is not christianity that is left-wing radicalism dressed in the skin suit of our religion. Let's send it packing in November. So utterly ridiculous. Meanwhile, Ansarallah, the Houthis continue to advance east.

14:26Ben Meiselas:They're encircling Taiz city, and you see them moving east right now. Saudi Arabia on the ropes. They're begging the Netanyahu regime for help. So you have the commander of CENTCOM, Brad Cooper. You have Netanyahu's military officials meeting with MBS in Saudi Arabia to try to figure out a plan to slaughter the Houthis.
