2:22Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump was having a midnight meltdown yet again after his disastrous appearance at the United Nations where he ranted and raved like a lunatic, and oh, we're going to call AI superintelligence. And he bragged about all of his war crimes, threatened to annihilate Iran and blow the civilization off the map, then proceeded to send Steve Whitcoff to try to beg the Iranian foreign ministry for a deal. and Iran wouldn't even want to meet directly with Whitcoff. So they had a mediator go back and forth and Iran just reiterated what they previously said they would do under the memorandum of understanding.

3:02Ben Meiselas:All of this is going on at midnight. This is what Trump posts. He goes, a rising Trump lifts all boats. This is what Newsmax is saying. Then he posts videos like this, a day in the life of a CNN reporter. Just grow up, Donald. I mean, it's pathetic behavior. and the entire world got to see it. People are so fed up with this guy's crap. It's unbelievable. I'll talk about Trump's crashing polls in a moment because people are freaking over this crap. Donald Trump then posted right around midnight, all of the sleazebags like third-rate reporter Caitlin Collins, a fake news, truly unhappy person. They said they weren't going to be covering me.

3:44Ben Meiselas:Then why were they ranting and raving like lunatics in the press area? at the United Nations. Why was she there? She's got a Trump addiction and so does CNN and MSDNC. They're all sick, treasonous, and demented. The good news is they have a great for them and totally disloyal judge. I'm going to do a video after this about the midnight filing by the Trump regime's DOJ where they just post his social media messages like that. And they say all of the stuff that Donald Trump declares national security. He's going to ban them because he's saying they're reporting touches on national security concerns.

4:22What a snowflake. I mean, what a loser right here. You said you would never get involved in these never-ending wars, that electricity prices would be cut in half, that gas would be$2, that you would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, that people could afford homes. And you're a liar. You're a fraud. Ranchers are suffering. Farmers are suffering. All Americans are struggling to get by right now. You've ripped away people's healthcare. So, I mean, while some of these polls may sound shocking, when you actually realize how deeply unpopular Trump is, it makes sense. And all of these MAGA people who have used their power to tread on the American people and destroy lives while Donald Trump is now worth, did you see this?

5:10The latest Forbes data has Donald Trump worth$7 billion. It's like$2 billion even more than the$2 billion he made last year because he's stealing from us. He and these MAGA grifters are stealing from the American people. That's what's happening. So you take a look at Texas, the latest Marist poll there.

5:34Ben Meiselas:Remember I showed you the Iowa poll where you have the Democratic candidates for Senate and governor leading there? Well, in Texas, the Marist poll has James Tolerico up by six in that Senate race. And Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic candidate there, leads Greg Abbott by 3%. Folks, there's something special happening right now. This isn't hopium. This is the people saying enough is enough Enough with these freaking mega scumbag trash. Enough with the lies. Enough with the hate. Enough with the defrauding of the American people. I mean, take a look at the massive Hispanic shift in voters right here.

6:16You're talking about Texas. Look at these districts. Plus 31, plus 25, plus 24. I could go down on Florida, plus 25, plus 25. the Hispanic shift away from Republicans to Democrats has been massive. I mean, Trump defrauded and said, we're going to get you so many jobs and we're not going to go after any immigrants who are here working or paying taxes. We're just going to go after the bad hombres. Sick, sick.

6:49Ben Meiselas:I mean, Trump did say mass deportation, so that may have been a hint, But regardless, I think people are saying you went after families. You went after people who weren't criminals. And you used ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo to torture, to torture Hispanic communities, to torture Latino people. That's what you do every damn day because this regime is racist. They're racist. They clearly are. It's so obvious. And Trump's just a demented lunatic. I mean, did you see him? I covered, of course, all of the ridiculous stuff at the United Nations General Assembly General Debate. But did you see he didn't even realize that Marco Rubio was sitting right next to him?

7:31He's like, where's Marco? Where are you, Marco? He's right freaking there. He's right next to you. He's literally right there. Here, play this clip. I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Where's Marco? Where's Marco? Where's Marco? He's never very far away, right? But - And then while he was with these Gulf nations and he had them sit around him, he's like, I'm going to win the midterms. We're going to win the midterms because we've never been richer. This is the golden age. And him continuing to say, this is the golden age. It's the golden age for you because you stole from us. You stole from the American people.

8:12You use the White House to loot and plunder from Americans to enrich yourself. It's sick. But the American people don't feel this is a golden age. Quite the contrary. Here, play this clip. And it has nothing to do with the election. If we do well, we should do well because there's never been a time like it in the United States. There's never been.

8:35Ben Meiselas:And then you even have state regime media hosts like Laura Ingraham. and she's like, I never supported this. She did it again. This is like her new thing, pretending that she never supported the war. I could pull out dozens of clips of Laura Ingraham saying, and now we're gonna get oil cheaper and now we're going to get more resources and now we're gonna be stronger. So, okay, spare me this, but this is Laura Ingraham saying, you know my views. Your views were that you're a Trump bootlicker and you supported all of his shit. That was the, excuse my language, is these people piss me off. Here, play this clip.

9:09The president was also quite blunt, Senator Schmidt, about Iran. And you all know my views on the Iran war. Wasn't a fan of starting it in the first place, going in there in the first place. I understand. And I don't see the intelligence, but that was my view. Nevertheless, he said he has a big decision to make, and it's going to be essentially cut a deal after the midterms or go in all in. And, you know, the word annihilation is being thrown down. I don't like that. But nevertheless, a strong, decisive series of blows that could change the dynamic. But we've also kind of heard that before, have we not?

9:48Ben Meiselas:And then did you see this? So Delcy Rodriguez, who was Maduro's right hand in Venezuela, right? I mean, she was basically Maduro's main operator. Maduro was more of even a figurehead. So here's what she posted. I mean, look at this photo. We held a historic meeting with President of the United States, with whom we discussed strengthening a bilateral relationship between our countries and advancing a cooperation agenda in strategic areas such as energy, mining, and security. In other words, Donald Trump believes that he should steal all of the resources from Venezuela, steal their oil, steal their gold, steal everything from Venezuela, loot and plunder it.

10:31Ben Meiselas:By the way, not even give it to the American people. We should never steal, let's be clear. We shouldn't take over Venezuela and take their resources. But there's Qatari bank accounts that apparently Donald Trump has, and we don't get to know what's in them because that's how the fascist regime here in the United States works. And then you had the Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Carino Machado. What we're learning is that she tried three times in the past 24 hours to return to her home in Venezuela. and she's been denied the ability to return to Venezuela by Delcy, by Trump, and by this access of authoritarian Trump puppets in the Western hemisphere now in South American countries.

11:18Ben Meiselas:You had David Allendente reporter says, I've lived many stories as a journalist, but few like this one. I accompanied Maria Carina Machado in Panama and was a direct witness to three frustrated attempts in a single day to continue on her way to Venezuela. And so for all of the people like Congresswoman Salazar, oh, this is the three-dimensional chess. We put in the dictator. We put the evil person in because that leads to the good person. That's the Dignity Act. That's how you bring dignity. Stop. Just stop. Donald Trump likes authoritarians. He doesn't give a crap about democracy. He's destroyed our democracy here in the United States.

12:08Trump doesn't want elections in Venezuela at all. Trump wants to loot the resources and take it for himself and then give a little bit of kickbacks to Delcy to keep the status quo. And meanwhile, what I'm focused on is how are the Venezuelan people doing and they're suffering. There's still blackouts. They're not getting richer. They're struggling. They are struggling right now in Venezuela, worse than before even. And this is what the Trump regime is doing. And by the way, they just suffered those massive earthquakes there with the mass death and trauma that they experienced.

12:45Ben Meiselas:And this is what Donald Trump is up to. By the way, did you see this poll as well? This is how the economists in YouGov frame this issue already would you rather elect a democratic socialist who supports medicare for all ending military aid to israel and abolishing ice or would you support a mega republican who supports mass deportations and always votes with trump 51 of americans said they would vote the democratic socialist over the mega republicans 34 51 34 and 15 of people are not sure just an interesting data point for you right there and then also state regime media fox has just shifted 15 additional races towards democrats in the past 24 hours got to give a hat tip to dr abdul El-Sayed, who I think is running right now a powerful campaign.

13:50Ben Meiselas:He went to gas stations in Michigan and he was putting on stickers of Trump saying, I did this. I did this regarding the surging price of diesel, the surging price of gas right now. And Dr. Abdul-Sayed just says it perfectly. He says, when you're the president of the United States, you should focus on helping the people versus your new helipad and your fricking ballroom. Play this clip. But how do you get it? But do you think about this? Well, you actually apply your thought to the problem, not drapes in a ballroom. So when you're the president of the United States and people are struggling with gas, you don't sit there and talk about your new helipad or your drapes in a ballroom.

14:28You actually go and do your damn job.

14:31Ben Meiselas:And then state regime media Fox is like, you say you're a capitalist. What do you mean? And Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has the perfect answer. He goes, first he defines what capitalism is. And then he says, the system we have right now is a corporatist system where you have not capitalism, where the Trump regime, I would go a step further than what Dr. Abdul Said says. I would say that we have a form of communism under the Trump regime and authoritarian communism, except under Trump's form of communism, they also steal your healthcare. Because what does Trump do? He creates oil companies in the defense department to do deals with Delcy.

15:13Ben Meiselas:He takes stakes in companies. He does controls over the methods and means of production. Here's what he says. Play this clip. You say you're a capitalist. What do you mean? Capitalism is the process by which we enable supply and demand to allocate capital so that it's the most productive in an economy. We are not in a situation where we have capitalism. We have corporatism. And you just want to see the economic indicators all across the country that things are failing. Wendy's is now facing 300 closures across 15 states due to crippling beef prices. But according to Brooke Rollins, Donald Trump's agriculture secretary, who needs beef?

15:54Ben Meiselas:Just eat some chicken. It's cheaper, is what she says. That's the solution for you right there. And meanwhile, while all of this was going on and Donald Trump was, talking tough at the UN. He was begging Iran for a deal, begging them. And the Iranian delegation, the foreign ministry, wouldn't meet in person with Whitcoff. They used a mediator. And what Iran said afterwards is, look, there's no negotiations. Here are non-negotiables. Here are demands. Let us reiterate them. End of the war on all fronts. Stop US military actions. End the naval blockade. Release Iranian frozen funds. End the economic war.

16:39Ben Meiselas:Sound familiar? It's what's in the memorandum of understanding. It's what Iran was saying in March. It's what Donald Trump reposted in April when he said, we did a deal. Look, I did a deal with foreign minister Arangchi. And then he reposted Arangchi in April. It's a month and a half later when Donald Trump signed the MOU in Versailles. Iran's points have been the same. Whether you like the points or you don't like the points, undisputed, those points have not changed. And then Donald Trump said, I'm going to obliterate your civilization. We did a deal. I'm going to obliterate. I did a great deal.

17:17Enough is enough. The American people are sick of this vile piece of trash.
