2:09Ben Meiselas:or affiliate products not available in every state after midnight on saturday morning donald trump keeps on posting videos of the state dinner with xi jinping and the oligarchy in the united States. You see Xi and CCP officials and all of the U.S. oligarchy right there. I mean, just take a look, zoom in, whether it's Elon Musk or you got the head of NVIDIA, you got Tim Cook, got the whole crew there. And then Donald Trump reposts this from one of his top aides, Dan Scavino, who says, a beautiful evening last night, incredible state dinner hosted by Donald Trump. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, everybody.

2:51Ben Meiselas:While diesel prices surge and gas prices surge and our ranchers are getting screwed and our farmers' lives are being destroyed as they go bankrupt and as Americans can't afford groceries and as the treasury yield has hit all-time highs as the 30-year fixed mortgage is over 7.5%, as Americans are losing their jobs, as people are absolutely suffering with their healthcare ripped away, folks. Hallelujah. Donald Trump and Xi Jinping had a state dinner where Donald Trump showed what a bootlicker he is to the CCP, where he made our service members, our brave and courageous Air Force personnel and our army personnel bend down on their knees for Xi Jinping and roll out a red carpet.

3:38Ben Meiselas:By the way, have you seen this photo surfacing? You should. TMZ DC got a copy of it. So in the White House right now, right by the Oval Office, Donald Trump has two prominent pictures, more prominent than any of his family members. One photo is Donald Trump with Putin in Alaska, where Trump also made our military members get down on their knees for Vladimir Putin. And the other photo, look at it right here, is Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, where Donald Trump also made our military members get down on their knees for Xi Jinping. Donald Trump continues to post more videos through 1 a.m. in the morning.

4:19Ben Meiselas:I get it. I get it. You love Xi. You clearly love Xi and you hate America and you hate our country. We get it. We get it. Then he started posting these deranged videos of former President Obama. Like that's what he was doing after midnight. Obama exposed. I mean, y 'all realize we have an actual lunatic piece of trash in the Oval Office. Like we have a real psycho piece of trash in the Oval Office. He's posting this of Obama. Obama exposed. Trump posted this last night. This should shake every single American in their shoes. I hate to say this, but President Barack Obama, comma. President Barack Obama, what?

5:01Ben Meiselas:What? What is it? What is it? It's worse than you throwing a lavish state dinner for Xi where you made our military personnel bend down for the guy and roll out the red carpet. What? What? I mean, I've never had a deal. I'll tell you, when Obama was in office, I didn't think about potash from Belarus or 10, 20, 30-year treasury yields. I didn't think about the Strait of Hormuz or the Babel Mondaw Strait. When Obama was in office, I wasn't worried about the amount of millions of metric tons of soybeans because we had competent people in charge, but not with Donald Trump, who's more focused, of course, and only focused, of course, on enriching himself and hoarding and stealing while the American people suffer.

5:55Ben Meiselas:Last night, There was the news reported after Donald Trump spent the whole day on Friday manipulating the market. After the markets close, what do you know? The Wall Street Journal reports Trump rejects Iran's ceasefire, expects renewed bombing after midterms. The president is skeptical that Tehran will meet his demands. And Trump says, if we just keep the economic pressure going, Iran will break. They will give up. That's the mindset of a freaking sex predator that Donald Trump is. If I just make them suffer, if I just make them, they'll tap out and they'll give in to me. You sicko. You sicko.

6:42Have you not learned? You haven't. That lesson is not that Iran is going to all of a sudden say, Donald, now we want to make can deal with you. It's a country built on resistance, quite literally. It's called the Revolutionary Guard, and they're not going to just back down and surrender. Things are going to

7:02Ben Meiselas:escalate, and great job telegraphing as well how they're going to escalate and when. After the midterms. Oh, well done. And meanwhile, I'm being sarcastic, of course. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has in the White House, Xi Jinping, who of course we know has been providing Iran with satellite images of American military bases and assets directly leading to the death of American service members as Iran responded to Donald Trump and Netanyahu's catastrophic invasion of Iran, right? We know that Xi Jinping in China provides Iran with dual use components, things that look like civilian products, but in fact could be used for drones and ballistics and other things as well.

7:51But Donald Trump loves Xi. He loves Putin. He loves Kim Jong-un. You know who? He hates our allies. He hates NATO. He hates Canada. He hates Australia. He hates Denmark. He hates every country that America has traditionally been allied with. Do you know why? Because Trump hates you. He hates America. He's a big con. He's a fraud. He is a traitor. He is treasonous. He is a felon. He is awful. That's why. That's why. And he just loves Xi Jinping there. I mean, do you remember this freaking con artist fraud in 2011, right? When he would say, why would you do a state dinner?

8:36Ben Meiselas:Why would you do a... I'm not sure if that was an awful voice of me. It was an awful impression but remember what he said back then here play this clip are they stupid and i say absolutely they're stupid so you know i don't blame them it's like if you make a bad business deal if you don't know what you're doing you don't you know you have to blame yourself i blame our leaders here we have china ripping this country off like nobody's ever seen before and we have the president of china come a few months ago to washington and we give him a state dinner. Now when people are screwing you, you don't give them state dinners.

9:15You don't do it. So what happens is we send them home. And then you heard my statement, right? I said, no, no, we're not giving dinners. What we do is we sit down in my office for a couple of hours. We either make a deal where you stop manipulating your currency or not. If we make a deal, you can have a state dinner if you want. If you don't make a deal, you take McDonald's and you go home. That's it. That's it.

9:40Ben Meiselas:I have 30 more clips like that. It's worth reflecting as well. Gavin Newsom's trip to Beijing where he met with Xi back in 2023. And you can see Xi was actually having a lot more enjoyment with Newsom in 2023. Do you remember this trip when Newsom presented Xi with a Golden State Warrior uniform, unlike Trump. And Trump gave him a bald eagle eating a snake when she was born during the year of the snake. Eight-dimensional chess. Ridiculous. Here's what Newsom did, just to remind you. Here, play this clip.

10:25Ben Meiselas:Golden State Warriors. California, the Golden State.

10:39Ben Meiselas:And folks, every damn day things get worse here. Remember when Bestin's like, I'm going to do bond buybacks, okay? Six billion bond buybacks in a trillions and trillions and trillions of dollar bond market. That's going to move the market. treasury yields continue to surge. As I said at the outset, mortgage rates, 30-year fixed over 7.5%. Interest rates rising. What else did Besson say that he was going to manipulate? Oil, oil's going to come down. Oil's going to come down. No, it's at record highs. It's only going to go higher. I mean, the Trump regime spent all Friday. Remember Friday? Yesterday, of course you remember, where the Trump regime was like, there was CBS, which is state regime media.

11:25Ben Meiselas:They said sources have told Al Jazeera that there's very productive talks and settlement between the U.S. and Iran could be imminent. Kushner and Witkoff, they've moved into technical level talks with Iran. Things are looking very productive, according to sources that told Al Jazeera and then CBS reported on hearsay, on hearsay, on hearsay. That's what went down. It's all market manipulation. And you know who's getting rich off of it? The freaking people at that state dinner who's sitting around that table with Donald Trump while you're getting screwed. They do socialism or communism for the billionaires where they circulate that wealth amongst themselves and they hoard it while they steal it from you.

12:14Ben Meiselas:That's what they're doing. that's what they are obviously doing right now we have diesel shortages gas shortages right don remember in the middle of the week the trump regime was like we're gonna do diesel export export diesel bans we're gonna prevent diesel in the united states that's refined here from being exported internationally that's what we're gonna do and then by friday and we're gonna announce it on Friday. And then on Friday, they're like, okay, we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. So we're going to do something that's not an export ban, but that's kind of like it.

12:55Ben Meiselas:The Trump regime is considering alternatives to a diesel export ban to lower record high fuel prices, including expanding tax exempt dyed diesel use and encouraging states to cut diesel taxes. Remember I did that whole video about how an export ban on diesel while it sounds good in theory. It probably doesn't sound good in theory, I don't know. But in the end, it would just cause the price of diesel to rise because diesel is sold on an international market. And if you take out 20 % to 25 % of the global supply of diesel, of course, supply and demand says less supply. It's going to be more expensive.

13:39Ben Meiselas:That's what's going to happen. And so that was the big story from the middle of this week. Also, I'll do another video on this this morning or early afternoon, if you will. The Trump regime quietly adding more casualties in connection with the catastrophic war. Earlier this week, they added another death. and now there's 37 more injured, including 29 sailors and 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines. Hmm. I wonder if Iran was able to perhaps strike a ship. Remember when we reported, we thought they struck a ship and CENTCOM said that didn't happen. I still don't know if that happened, but 29 sailors, eight Marines.

14:25Ben Meiselas:Was it a ship? Was it Camp Titan and Jordan? Both things that we reported on after the Trump regime would escalate and strike weddings and kill people at weddings or kill families in Kesham, weddings in Syrac. And of course, early in the war, they slaughtered the little fricking. Makes me so damn angry what the Trump regime did. I mean, anger doesn't do it justice. I mean, there are a bunch of war criminals slaughtering little children in Manab, slaughtering little children in Lemaire, testing out new tungsten pellet weapons that spray all over and killed little girls playing volleyball in Le Maire.

15:03Ben Meiselas:War crimes, war criminals. They are a bunch of war criminals. And I think anybody who's running on the Democratic side for president should be very clear that they will hand over all of these Trump regime people to war crime tribunals after those who engage in war crime, those who killed the people on the fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela, those who killed the little girls in Manab and Lemaire. I think that that's what needs to happen. Sickening, sickening, sickening stuff. What else do we got? Well, this is how state regime media is trying to spin it. Laura Ingraham says, look, if you take away the Iran war and energy costs, Trump's policies are really working.

15:46Ben Meiselas:Things are really hot right now. Here play this clip. Meanwhile, with the exception of the ongoing frustration with Iran and energy costs, Trump's policies are working. His biggest economic problem, aside again from gas prices, is that the economy is actually running too hot. And then she's like, our economy is booming. Everything's booming here. Here, play this clip. The truth is, right now, China needs us way more than we need China. Our economy is booming. Who are these people? Seriously, who are these evil, evil people? Evil, right? Why are you such liars? How do you live with yourself? Laura Ingraham and Jesse Waters.

16:33How do these people live with, truthfully, how do they live with, how could you be so evil? People are freaking suffering right now. And you're like, oh, maybe it's a boom for you, not for the American people.

16:48Ben Meiselas:finally here's mike collins maggor republican extremist running for the senate seat in georgia watch as he's asked so uh you guys like are in charge like republicans you've been in charge now affordability you failed right watch what he says here play this clint sure gas is high it's too high uh i'm in the trucking business you know i know that uh but i also know how we got to this at this point. And the reality is we got here because of those Bidenomics, that debacle that during the Biden administration, which John I saw fully supported, was what caused this historical inflation on everything.

17:32Not just gas, but everything, whether it's your clothes, your food, your housing. Biden, Biden, Biden did it. Biden did it. Come on. September 26, 2026. Biden did it. Y 'all are in charge of every branch of government, you losers. These are loser humans, man.
