Just the past 48 hours, you've seen him with his face drooping as he's uncontrollably called state regime media, which calls itself Fox. And when they were asking him questions about Iran, he was asking Dana Perino if she remembers the time they had lunch together many years ago and how beautiful you look.

2:30Ben Meiselas:And I'm going to get canceled because I say how attractive you are. Remember earlier this week, Donald Trump was standing next to Mark Wayne Mullen and his hand just kept on spasming and he couldn't even stand up straight as he was bobbing left to right. And then there was the incident where Donald Trump imagined negotiating with a Sharpie maker for$5 signature pens at a cabinet meeting that looked more like a deranged and dystopian version of the worst unwatchable season of The Apprentice. Trump told a lengthy story, about five minutes he told this story, about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens.

3:12Ben Meiselas:The company that he was talking about says it has no record of any such conversation and they have no clue what he was talking about. Donald Trump spent five minutes of a cabinet meeting on Thursday boasting of his thrift with a story about negotiating for$5 personalized Sharpies. The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened at all. Or on Friday when Donald Trump was speaking at an event in Miami, some financial conference, which was attended by certain people from Saudi Arabia as an American military base in Saudi Arabia was hit with ballistic missiles from Iran.

3:58Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump was at this conference saying they have to open up the Strait of Trump. That's what they're calling it. The Strait of Trump, everybody. That's what they're calling it. Here, play this clip right here. It'd be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump. I mean, Harmouth. Excuse me. I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake. The fake news will say, he accidentally said no. There's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, it would have a major story. And then seeing more of Donald Trump's disinhibition, a sign of onset Alzheimer's, onset dementia, dementia itself, full-blown in Alzheimer's as well.

4:49Ben Meiselas:And I'm not saying that that's what it is. I'm just saying that it's my opinion that that's what happens during onset. Donald Trump starts saying, ask me, and he was telling the crowd at this financial event, He's like, ask me whatever you want. You want to ask me about sex? Ask me about sex. What do you mean, ask you about sex? What are you talking about? America's at war right now because of you, an unlawful war against Iran, where our troops are exposed, where our economy is crashing and the markets are horrible and there's a jobs recession and it's only going to get worse. And you're saying, ask me about sex.

5:27Ben Meiselas:What are we watching here? Here, play this clip. So I want to just thank everybody very much. And I'm asked to take a few questions. And unlike other politicians, they would like the questions screened. I don't ask for screening of the questions. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex. You can do whatever the hell you want. I'm here for you. Whatever question you want, you can ask. So do you want to do that? Do we have some people handling this? Here he comes. Look at this man. Very powerful man coming up, ladies and gentlemen. And then earlier in the day, Donald Trump was giving a speech at the White House and then he just burst out into dancing the YMCA.

6:12Ben Meiselas:I'm only going to play a second and a half of this, but here, play this clip. Now I want to bring in Democratic Congress member Sue Brahmanian from Virginia. Congressman, it's great to see you as always. I've been showing some clips there at the outset showing Donald Trump's physical and cognitive deterioration, which seems to be going at a significantly even more rapid pace recently. I want to talk about that, but I mean, you have these alarming headlines like inside the White House, Trump aides are saying that Donald Trump just wants to, he just wants to kind of move on. He's getting bored by the war in Iran that he started.

6:49Ben Meiselas:The script is getting dry for him and he just wants to, not as exciting as it was. I mean, you have the Russian Duma delegation yesterday invited by Trump officials and MAGA Republican Congress members. And by the way, the MAGA Republican Congress members took them around on like Capitol Hill tours and they were like in the cap. These These are sanctioned Russian Duma members. And then they left with gifs of socks with Donald Trump's face on it. This whole thing, I don't even know what freaking timeline I'm in. I mean, you had yesterday Donald Trump claiming that Iran shot missiles at Ireland.

7:29Ben Meiselas:Then he corrected himself and said an island, but said they go 2 ,500 miles per hour or something. Just play a brief clip of this. And I think we've been proven right. You know, they took one missile, it went 2 ,500 miles. They supposedly didn't have a missile like that. They had no missile with that capability. But they shot the now famous Ireland, the island that. And then he calls into Fox and Dana Perino, who I'm always very critical of. But she asked him a serious question. Why aren't we hearing from the people of Iran? You know, what's going on there? You and Netanyahu promised that there was going to be this popular uprising and everybody was going to be shown.

8:12Ben Meiselas:And we're not seeing that. So Donald, what do you make of that? Just watch his response. Let's play. That we have not been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people. And I imagine that is because their Internet is shut down. And I think there is some general worry about them. obviously their government treats them terribly and killed tens of thousands of them in january do you again i like kaylee i would never ask you to tell us something that is classified but do you have any insight as to how they are doing do they have drinking water do they have food right i do it's upsetting i do but first you remember when we had lunch years ago in the base of trump tower when it was a brand new building a long time ago yes a long time ago You haven't changed.

9:00Ben Meiselas:You have not changed. Now, I'm not allowed to say this. It's the end of my political career, but you may be even better looking. OK, so I don't know what you're doing. But I will not say that. Well, long hair and makeup has a lot to do with that. I will not say that because that will end my political career. You know, you're not allowed to. Congressman, I mean, this is deeply serious stuff happening right here. And that's how he's behaving. It's clownish, but it's it's deadly. I mean, this has real consequences. I want to get your take on what you're seeing in terms of his physical mental decline.

9:31Yeah, his decline is really bad because you wouldn't want someone like that running your HOA, much less the free world and being the president of the United States. It's erratic. It's chaotic. What I love seeing when he says things like that is looking at the reactions of his advisors or looking at the reactions of foreign leaders like the Japanese prime minister the other day. and just the looks on their faces of, I can't believe this guy is the president of the United States. But it has real consequences. We're in this chaotic war. We have chaotic domestic policy. There's this shutdown. A lot of it is because of chaos from ICE following Trump's orders.

10:13And so how erratic he is sometimes gets a good chuckle, but it's really serious in the sense that it's hurting our country every single day.

10:23Ben Meiselas:What's the vibe on Capitol Hill about that? I mean, do Republicans kind of privately talk about how bad mentally and physically it's getting? I mean, is it just kind of a known thing at this point that he's somebody who is clearly in this rapid decline? what's the sense of it? I mean, I saw MAGA Mike Johnson at the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee event had to like make up an award for him and literally looked, I don't know how to describe it, but like I felt I was truly watching some, I don't know, something like in a hospice care situation where the nurse was trying to help the patient remember the days where they may have gotten awards.

11:07Ben Meiselas:Hey, I got an award for you. It's called the You're the Best Award, everybody. And I'm like, what are we doing here? So what's the vibe? I think Republicans on the Hill just try to separate Trump the person from Trump the policies, but you really can't because his policy positions change all the time, right? Remember he was against any war against Iran, accused Kamala Harris of being the candidate who would take us to war with Iran. And now he's all about war with Iran and has started one. And so they try to separate the two, but you can't because his erratic personality, his chaotic personality means erratic and chaotic policy making.

11:45And remember Republicans on Capitol Hill and across the country, they follow him wherever he takes them. And so it's their policies too. And so I've talked to Republicans who they're about to go on a news show and then they hear Trump said something that sometimes may contradict things that they believe or have said in the past. And they just go on and have to defend him or try to sidestep the question. That's the Republican Party today. And that's why we need to elect Democrats and have Democrats back in the majority to actually be a check on this chaos.

12:17Ben Meiselas:You sit on the House Oversight Committee. There have been numerous depositions recently of Epstein's former accountant, Kahn, former lawyer, Indyke, which led to information about private investigative firms hoarding potentially these hard drives that were never turned over to the Department of Justice when there were, you know, the criminal investigations into Epstein. I mean, that sounds to me like the craziest thing ever, that they would not get these hard drives. But again, we know that there are millions and millions of documents that are still missing. And then there are these potential hard drives.

12:54Ben Meiselas:And I know the House Oversight Committee is taking steps to try to reach out to these private investigative firms. What can you tell us about that i just can't believe that our house oversight committee investigation mostly pushed by democrats and some republicans a few republicans is probably the most comprehensive investigation of jeffrey epstein i think about all the crimes he committed all the things he's done all the powerful people around him and the fbi and the doj and even law enforcement across the world was covering up was turning a blind eye to all these actions. And this is just another example.

13:32We talked to a guy named Ndike, another one in Khan, to the accountant and the lawyer who developed the infrastructure around Jeffrey Epstein to make sure he could commit the crimes that he committed. And law enforcement had never interviewed them. They'd never deposed them before. The only time they were ever deposed was in a civil suit. So that's why we're doing this investigation. And now we hear from Ndike, the lawyer, that there's this hard drive with more files and more documents on it, some of which may be incriminating. So we're just going to keep going down this road of investigating what we find.

14:06And every time we peel another layer, another layer comes up and more and more comes up. And so the other thing is there's actual consequences in other places like the UK. We've got former princes there, ambassadors being arrested. but this Department of Justice continues to cover up for the president and his friends, and they refuse to lead any prosecutions or more investigations into this. And certainly, they refuse to release the other two and a half million files.

14:34Ben Meiselas:You know, we're getting poll after poll showing Donald Trump's approval sinking to record lows. I believe, actually, the work that you and Congress Member Garcia and Congress Member Americana and so many others, Representative Stansberry, so many others on the House Oversight Committee. The work that you've done on the Epstein files was really, to me, one of the first major breaking points. I mean, yes, there were things happening in 2025 where Trump was sinking his tariffs against the world were unpopular, but getting that from that 37, 38 to starting to see the drops in the low 30s and the 20s to get to that next level, I think that started opening up the eyes to even people in his base and some independents saying, wow, if they're lying about child sex trafficking, they're going to lie about literally everything.

15:24Ben Meiselas:And it opened up their minds to start saying, were they lying about this? Were they lying? And using the same analytical framework, which to me is just opening up your eyes as a framework. They saw, okay, got it. I've been lying to here, here, here, and here. And so I bring that up because, you know, redistricting in Virginia major issue. I want to hear from you about it, but it has these broad implications because voters are outraged, but there's just so much going on right now because of all the efforts of like what Trump started to do with his Texas gerrymander. So it's a little bit just confusing out there, you know, so break down the importance of the Virginia redistricting for us.

16:01Ben Meiselas:And given all we're seeing with the landscape throughout the country and Trump's decreasing popularity and MAGA's decreasing popularity. Why it's so important that we focus on it. Yeah, remember, as you said, Trump is deeply unpopular and so are Republicans on Capitol Hill. They don't think they can win this midterm election on an even and fair playing field. So they reached out to Texas, forced the Texas legislature to add five Republican seats. California responded. But now other states, Missouri is the latest. They're going to try to add and gerrymander one Republican seat. And Florida is going to do anywhere from three to five.

16:39We're now in an arms race when it comes to mid-decade redistricting. And so Virginia, we're different than Texas in that we let the voters decide whether they want to do this. But we could potentially add up to four seats in Virginia to our delegation that would mitigate all the damage Trump is doing in other red states across the country. So if you're in Virginia or if you know someone in Virginia, come out and vote yes on this referendum it's april 21st and it's really critical because we need an even playing field if we want a majority uh that will actually put a check on president trump otherwise republicans will stay in the majority because they were able to gerrymander the way back to staying in power

17:21Ben Meiselas:it's just fascinating though democrats do it by a public referendum you know republicans just push it through their legislature you know like they do in texas and so i mean i'm from california So this was brought to the people. And in Virginia, yes, the legislature and the governor approved the framework of the redistricting. Then it's ultimately brought to the people. And so the question for the people of Virginia at this point is, you know, are you going to support democracy at this point and be a check against Donald Trump's efforts to throw us into authoritarianism? So it's really important.

17:54Ben Meiselas:And with all of the distractions happening, I'm glad we can talk about the redistricting. And so everybody in Virginia, take note of that. What day is it again? It's April 21st, but early voting has already started. You can vote today. And it's not a slam dunk. And we want to make sure we come out and vote because Republicans are actually running ads with faces of Democrats like Abigail Spanberger and Barack Obama saying that these people want you to vote no. They're trying to sow this chaos and lie their way to victory in this one. So, you know, Democrats like Spanberger and Obama are saying to vote yes.

18:28So are all of us. It's going to be all hands on deck. And it could be the difference between winning the midterms this November.

18:35Ben Meiselas:Let me ask you one more question while I got you, which is this DHS funding. To be clear, ICE and Border Patrol are already funded. They've gotten hundreds of billions of dollars, hundreds of dollars, which could be going to health care and other things. So this is the very premise that ICE and Border Patrol need additional funding to me is a ridiculous concept. They're well funded. But Democrats have put down their markers, take off your masks, search warrants, don't be by polling stations, identify yourself and other kind of basic things. Republicans say absolutely not. Donald Trump has refused to pay TSA employees, despite the fact that Democrats continuously introduced legislation saying pay the TSA employees.

19:17Ben Meiselas:It's really easy. Just pay them. We want to pay them. And Trump was trying to tell the Republicans, always vote against that. We want them to suffer. So people suffer in the airports. Then they'll blame the Democrats. But people weren't blaming the Democrats. They were blaming Republicans. And Republicans wanted to go on a recess, two week recess, their vacation, you know, go back home. So, you know, they realized they're going to have to wait on these lines. I think that was the biggest motivating factor that they had to go to the airport soon to leave. And they wanted to help themselves as one of the factors while they were traveling.

19:47Ben Meiselas:So Donald Trump issues an executive order, you know, late on Thursday night saying, OK, I'm going to pay the TSA agents, which is like, OK, well, if you could just do it that way, why don't you do it 40 days? Why do you just do that now? And then, you know, then the Senate was like, OK, we're just going to pay the TSA agents, which is what the Democrats have been saying. do. Yeah. That's what we've been trying to do. And then in the House on Friday, there's a weird rule that says, if you're Republicans, you don't vote on Fridays. I don't want to try to even understand. You can't vote if it's so close to another vote right before your vacation and you're about to get mani and pedicures or something.

20:22Ben Meiselas:I don't even care what the rule is. Ridiculous. But what's going on? Yeah, we're going to vote on this either tomorrow or Monday. This is the Democratic proposal. Basically, we're not going to fund any more of ISIS brutality. We're not going to give them another dime until they change their tactics and agree to our terms, very reasonable terms that have been very clear from the start. So we put forward this alternative proposal six weeks ago. Let's fund everything else, even on border protection, people who scan the visas and the passports when you come to the airport. Those folks are going to get paid now.

20:56We're going to reopen these airports, assuming Republicans will join their Senate colleagues and vote for this. So this is, I think, not just a win for Democrats and that this was our proposal. It's a win for the American people. And now during Easter, we won't have to worry about Trump being erratic and deciding what he wants out of this shutdown from day to day and certainly not sending any more ice to the airports. I'd rather drain ICE's money than fund them anymore until they change their tactics.
