1:26Chronic migraine. 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life. Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

1:56Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

Hershey's, it's your happy place.

2:56Ben Meiselas:It's not looking good for Donald Trump as his physical and mental health deteriorate before our very eyes. The signs are everywhere, quite literally. There are signs everywhere telling him where he is. And you may say, ah, well, that's just Donald Trump putting up golden signage. He likes that. Yeah, but there are a lot of people who are saying this is helping him like it helps people at dementia, just kind of know where they are. So he has big letters right outside the Rose Garden saying the Rose Garden or right by the West Wing. He has the golden letters saying the West Wing or right by the Oval Office.

3:34Ben Meiselas:It says the Oval Office. So he knows where he is. I was seeing this video circulate yesterday where he was on Air Force One and it said, aboard Air Force One. Yeah, you are aboard Air Force One, Donald. And then he made a social media post begging the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling where it struck down his tariffs against the world. And so he said, oh no, now I'm going to have to issue refunds. Can you reconsider? Can we do a redo? Can we have another hearing? That's just not the way the Supreme Court works. What the hell are you talking about? Here's what Donald Trump posted on Friday.

4:14Ben Meiselas:The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning tariffs could allow for hundreds of billions of dollars to be returned. Yeah, we know that. That's the whole point because you unlawfully stole money from American companies which were passed on to the American consumers in the form of higher prices. And so, yeah, this was a tax on the American people. You have to return the money that you stole, Donald. And then he goes, I'm sure the Supreme Court did not have this in mind. They absolutely did because you stole people's money. And Donald Trump goes on to say, is a rehearing or re-adjudication of this case possible?

4:55Ben Meiselas:Is it possible? And one of the big problems with the rantings and ravings of an absolute lunatic, of someone who's cognitively and physically deteriorating, is this then finds its way into actual legal briefs as well. because after he posted that on social media, you have the Department of Justice making a filing in the United States Federal Circuit Court of Appeals where the companies that won in the Supreme Court are saying, we want our refunds. And they're telling the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, we want a mandate to issue and we want now our refunds. It should happen right away. But you have Donald Trump's DOJ following his demented social media posts.

5:38Ben Meiselas:And here's what they write in their filing. Plaintiffs also claim hasty issuance of the mandate is necessary to facilitate the refund processes in cases that are in the Court of International Trade. So just look at the way Trump's DOJ was framing that. Hasty issuance of the mandate is necessary to facilitate the refund process. Yeah, you all lost in front of the Supreme Court. It's not hasty. Just give the money back because you stole it. And then one of the things they put in their filing before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals is that the coming process will take time. And then it cites cases where refunds take seven years to be fully provided by the United States.

6:24Ben Meiselas:So you see how Donald Trump's demented mind actually becomes, it actually finds its way into legal filings right there. But then it gets worse and worse and worse from there. I mean, earlier in the day yesterday, Donald Trump, when he was in Corpus Christi, he just started saying, come here. I want you to look at that. Look at that, everybody. Do you see all of that? Here, play this clip right here. That I can't tell you, but I do like. Come here. Come here. Do you want to see something nice? Come here. Look at that. Right out of Venezuela. Goodbye, everybody. Thank you, everybody. And then earlier in the day, he talked about doing the friendly takeover of Cuba.

7:05Ben Meiselas:He goes, they may just give it to us. We're going to do a friendly takeover. Here, play this clip. The Cuban government is talking with us. They're in a big deal of trouble, as you know. They have no money. They have no anything right now. But they're talking with us. And maybe we'll have a friendly takeover of Cuba. We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba. After many, many years, we've had a lot of years of dealing with Cuba. I've been hearing about Cuba since I'm a little boy, but they're in big trouble. And we could very well, something good, I think, very positive for the people that were expelled or worse from Cuba that live here.

7:51You know, we have people living here that want to go back to Cuba. and they're very happy with what's going on.

7:57Ben Meiselas:He then bragged about how the Dow was over$50 ,000, when actually it's not, and it was$48 ,000, or 40, sorry, not$48 ,000, 48 ,000 points at the time, and he was saying it was over 50 ,000 points, and it was actually under 49 ,000 points here. Just listen to what he said, play this clip. They buy stocks without 401ks. It matters a lot, our stock market's going through. You know, we beat 50 ,000 on the Dow. They said when I got elected, if I could beat 50 ,000 by the end of my fourth year, it would be a tremendous miracle. And we then hit 7 ,000 on the S &P. I'll be honest, one of the reasons I'm obsessed with Superpower is because of how many times I've left a doctor's appointment feeling like I got absolutely nothing useful.

8:41You go and hoping for answers and you walk out with a, you're fine or drink more fluids, no real data, no actual game plan, just vibes. That's why I'm so fascinated by what Superpower is doing. They send a licensed professional to your home or you could visit a nearby lab for one simple blood draw that looks at over 100 biomarkers, way more than what you'd usually get. And it gives you a real understanding of what's going on inside your body. Their app breaks down everything, heart health, liver function, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, vitamin levels, even environmental toxins. Because let's be real, we're all just kind of guessing about our health.

9:13What supplements should I take? Am I getting enough sleep? Is my diet even right for me? Superpower gives you an actionable health plan based on your actual results with supplement suggestions, nutritional guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and you even get your true biological age that you could track over time. And it's not just a one-time snapshot. Superpower tracks your results over your lifetime. Each test builds on the last so you could actually see progress instead of starting over every January. They even have an on-demand clinician team to answer your questions, no waiting weeks for appointments or Googling lab results.

9:44Superpower used to cost$499, but right now it's just$199 for the full experience. That's more affordable than anything else out there. Know your numbers this year with Superpower. Make this the year you stop guessing about your health with Superpower.

10:22Ben Meiselas:He then talked about a policeman. This is what he said at his speech in Corpus Christi yesterday. A policeman told him that he was having a lot more sex with his wife because of Trump and the economy. So he has more sex with his wife. That's what Donald Trump is talking about right now as he's also covering up the Epstein files. What are you doing? Here, play this clip. I have a policeman. I tell the story. Same guy. I meet him. But this wonderful, tough policeman from New York. He's taking good care of us. And he said, sir, it's so good. My married life has gotten so much better. Why? My wife thought I was a loser financially.

11:02I couldn't make any money because my 401k was dying for years. And now she thinks I'm the smartest financial genius ever. It's made my sex life good. It's made my life good. It's given me a tremendous boost in life, sir. This is a big, tough cop. He said, my wife treated me like a dog, and now she admires my financial genius. And I haven't done anything. My 401k has gone through the roof. So I said, thank you very much.

11:32Ben Meiselas:Then Donald Trump just starts talking about a friend of mine who's smart and he's fat. I've got a smart, fat friend. Here, play this clip. And you'll see numbers. You'll see numbers where, and I tell the story of a friend of mine, very smart, very heavy guy. Very, I'm trying to be nice. Never use the word fat. Very heavy, slightly obese, but he takes the fat drug and it didn't work. But he's a very brilliant guy. He's highly neurotic, very brilliant, very smart, rich. He calls me, he was in London, he called me, he said, you know, he takes the fat drug, one of the many fat drugs. And he says, in New York, I pay$1 ,300.

12:15And in London, I'm paying$87. What the hell is going on?

12:20Ben Meiselas:He then says, congratulations, Tony Gonzalez. He goes, where's Tony Gonzalez? Congratulations, Tony. You know, Tony Gonzalez is that MAGA Republican Congress member who was sexually harassing his staffer. And then she died by suicide, allegedly by burning herself and self-immolating herself. And the text messages of Tony Gonzalez came out and he was saying things like, do you like anal? And what positions do you like? And send me naked pictures of you and all of these things. and she's like, please stop, you're my boss, stop, stop. And he kept on harassing her, and then she killed herself. We have the text message, she died by suicide.

13:05Ben Meiselas:We have those messages right now. And he goes, and Trump goes, congratulations, Tony. What, congratulations? For what, here, play this clip. Congressman Tony Gonzalez is here, Tony, congratulations. Then he's obsessed with Obama, and he says, Obama's doing so, you know, he goes, Obama, who hates Obama here? Don't we all hate Obama? Obama, what are you talking about? Here, play this clip. You ever hear of Barack Hussein Obama? Barack Hussein. Who likes Barack Hussein Obama? Who doesn't like him? I've heard worse. I've heard less popular people than that. He says the economy is roaring so much that Russia and China love us right now.

13:54Ben Meiselas:Russia and China love us. And by the way, isn't this at the same time that Donald Trump claims that he's going to be doing an executive order to basically shut down the midterms because he says China is infiltrating? There's nothing about this regime that makes sense at all. But you could play this clip. America is back. Our economy is roaring and our country is strong and we're respected again. They're respecting us again. China respects us. Russia respects us. They all respect, and they respect your president. And I respect them. And then I think he believes he's running for office in Texas.

14:32Ben Meiselas:And he said, sir, sir, you don't need to go to Texas, sir. But you're up by a lot in Texas. What do you mean he's up by a lot? He's not running for anything. What do you mean he's up by a lot? Here, play this clip. And voting in Texas. They say, sir, you don't have to go to Texas. You're leading by a lot. I said, I want to go to Texas. you know i want to go there i love that i love tech it just represents something special success it's great incredible people and again just look at him as aaron ruper says after disappearing from public view for two days trump returned sounding exhausted and not looking healthy and he was like spitting up this phlegm and he was coughing tonsil stones i mean the whole thing was just, you know, I mean, I'm showing you the clips right here.

15:21Ben Meiselas:And then he says, Howard Lutnick's a very innocent guy. He's the most innocent guy ever. What do you mean Howard Lutnick's an innocent guy? What are these people talking about? Howard Lutnick lied and said he never met Jeffrey Epstein other than one time, which made no sense because they were next door neighbors to each other. But Lutnick said, I met him in 2005. He showed me his house. I saw the massage table. I was so disgusted. I never went back. I never saw him. And then he was, there's photos of him at Epstein Island now with the kids. And he talks about how his children are going there. And he refers to his kids.

15:55Ben Meiselas:I got two 16s. I got two 13s. I got two 11s who are bringing children. But yes, you go on Donald. Yes. Say that he was innocent. Talking about here, play this clip. For both, he's to be that Howard Ludman. What's your reaction to that? Well, Howard would go in and do whatever he has to say. He's a very interesting guy. He's doing a good job. Here you have it, folks. The hell is going on there. But you tell me. I mean, I think he's rapidly deteriorating before I was. But judge for yourself. Judge for yourself. And let me know.
