Chapter 1: Who is Ben Meiselas and what is his view on Donald Trump's current state?

Chapter 2: What false claims has Donald Trump made about communications with China?

0.149 - 28.696 Ben Meiselas

I mean, just take a look at him. He is an addled, fatigued, cognitive glitching mess of a human being who is dangerous. He's been lying about fake conversations he claims he's having with China's President Xi Jinping. The embassy from China had to say, stop making up fake conversations. We're not having any communications with the United States about tariffs.

0

29.237 - 53.034 Ben Meiselas

And Donald Trump just the whole day was inventing, oh, we're having productive conversations. We're speaking about it. So then Donald Trump gets on Air Force One. He's on his way to Rome. where he's going to be there for the funeral of Pope Francis. And a reporter asks him, so like, have you spoken to Xi Jinping? And then Donald Trump's like, I don't want to discuss that. I'm not discussing that.

0

53.094 - 103.854 Ben Meiselas

Here, play this clip. Okay, well, what do you want to discuss, Donald, a reporter asked Donald Trump. So do you have any updates on Hegseth? And Donald Trump's like surprised by the question, like, what? Well, what do you mean Hegseth? I don't know that your defense secretary. continues to have classified communications on signal and on text threads.

0

103.934 - 121.301 Ben Meiselas

And he brags about war plans, placing our fighter pilots and troops in jeopardy. By the way, while Houthis are shooting down our drones, like seven drones have been shot down over Yemen. Is this something that, you know, you're focused on here? Play this clip.

128.806 - 139.132 Donald Trump

About what? With the signal, having signal on the side. I don't view signal as important here. What do you think? I don't view signal as important. I think it's fake news. It's fake news.

142.168 - 165.264 Ben Meiselas

Did you hear what he said? He said, I don't view that as even important. I think it's fake news. As one commentator wrote, using a private email server, the worst intelligence catastrophe in history, leaking classified war plans, not important. Got it. Blatantly just leaking our war plans on purpose.

166.294 - 188.885 Ben Meiselas

When we know that Russia, we know that the Houthis, we know that China and other people are gaining access to this stuff. So then another reporter asks him. And again, when I say like adult having cognitive issues, I mean, look at this person. Like this is not normal behavior. And for all the media talking about, oh, former President Biden's old. What the hell are we watching here?

189.645 - 216.481 Ben Meiselas

So a reporter asked Donald Trump, what would you consider a substantial concession from China in your trade deals with China? What do you want them to do? And Trump's response is, I want them to free it up. Free up China. They got to open up China. They got to open it. That would be big. I'm not sure if they can open it, but open it. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. Absolutely.

248.679 - 275.558 Ben Meiselas

Open it. We were doing like $2 trillion annually in trade with China. Now, the government officials in China, they are baffled by the United States' behavior. Now, they are taking advantage of it. They're reaching out to Europe and Canada and Australia. They're holding meetings in Africa and in South America and in Mexico. They are reaching out across the globe to assert themselves

Chapter 3: How did Donald Trump respond to questions about China's President Xi Jinping?

701.122 - 726.078 Ben Meiselas

Last week, the feds wanted to arrest the guy in her courtroom. Judge Dugan said, if you want to arrest the guy, do it outside, do it at his home, do it in the parking lot. I am a judge. You don't come into my room and break in and run operations out of my courtroom. I have to administer justice as a state court judge. And then she said, I'm not going to help you do that.

726.138 - 752 Ben Meiselas

We can coordinate with court services. The feds said no. She opened up her door. The individual named Eduardo Ruiz went out. He walked out and the feds arrested him later, but they charged the judge with with obstruction for helping him escape her courtroom when in her courtroom she was administering justice. The guy was accused of crimes in her courtroom. She's a judge. We have a process.

752.24 - 776.534 Ben Meiselas

We don't have FBI do raids in buildings and send people to concentration camps. And she's like, don't do this in my room. Go do it somewhere else. And the Fed said, nope. And now they are on Friday. They cuffed the judge in her courtroom, which I could tell you as a lawyer, is absolutely unprecedented. The Trump regime is going to lose that case in federal court by far. It's just a matter of time.

776.594 - 801.535 Ben Meiselas

I can't even imagine what the federal judge is going to say to the Trump DOJ lawyer when they show up. Horrific, horrific stuff. Oh, finally, Trump is also throwing his other lawyers under the bus when he was asked about what's his reaction to the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling saying facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. Trump said, that's not what my people told me. They didn't say it was.

0

801.575 - 825.656 Ben Meiselas

They said it was 9-0, something entirely different. My lawyers never said that to me. And then a reporter from the Time magazine said, well, why haven't you asked Bukele to send Abrego back? And Trump goes, well, no one's asked me. That's why nobody's asked me. Going back to what I said at the beginning of this video, folks. I mean, there's a reason why. What is it?

825.856 - 852.804 Ben Meiselas

Only 27% of independents support this guy. People are rising up. People know what's going on in the economy. People see that the economy was doing well in January before it was passed over to Donald Trump. People know. You know, Trump thinks that he can just go ahead and lie and say all of this crap. I mean, look, he's got his magamush brain zombified Fox regime watching people. He's got them.

853.624 - 877.244 Ben Meiselas

But there's like 65, 70% of America now that is livid, livid, and rightfully so. I'm Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers.
