0.031 - 22.384 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump just had a absolute meltdown during an interview with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press, and then he abruptly took off his microphone and ran away. He also touched Kristen Welker very awkwardly. Let me show you what just went down moments ago as she was asking some pretty basic questions about his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran.

State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked.

48.666 - 68.699 Donald Trump

You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's continue. You play right into their hands with this rap. You know... that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94% bad press. But, Mr. President, you've never presented evidence. You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.

68.779 - 72.445 Unknown

But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about it. I want to talk about Todd Lynch.

72.465 - 95.715 Donald Trump

You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Your elections in this country, we're like a third-world country. Your elections are crooked, and you're crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. Your one-sided, crooked networks. Let's call it quits, because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.

Mr. President, let's please... I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.

I've sat in the rain with you for an hour. On and off in the rain. and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Come on, let's get it.

0

121.48 - 142.915 Ben Meiselas

I mean, that's not the temperament of anybody who should be anywhere near a position of leadership. Just think about that. That's how he's behaving every day in the White House. That's why I keep saying he's panicking and he's running away. You saw it right there. Then Donald Trump gets angry because he felt that he was being interrupted with his microphone. Here, watch this.

146 - 154.739 Donald Trump

I was in Iowa, and the prices were $1.85 a gallon, $1.91 a gallon. What?

155.52 - 161.425 Unknown

This time it wasn't the rain, but an audio issue that forced us to pause the interview again.

161.465 - 176.019 Ben Meiselas

Then let me show you what went down right before Donald Trump stormed off. You can see how this meltdown developed. I mean, he is way too emotional to be in this position or anywhere near this position that he has. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 4: What evidence does Trump provide for his claims about rigged elections?

176.079 - 194.309 Donald Trump

Crooked press, people like stupid Biden. He's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him surrounded his beautiful, resolute desk in the Oval Office. What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.

0

194.329 - 199.561 Unknown

Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but let me ask you about Todd Blanche.

Listen to me, listen to me. Let's talk about this tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California.

It's happening right now in California. Right now. Look at what's happening in California. Where's the evidence to that? It's four days. The Republicans are doing well in California. In California, it's, no, they're not. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up with it.

229.201 - 231.204 Donald Trump

That's how they cast the votes in California. You know why they're doing that?

Chapter 5: How did Kristen Welker challenge Trump's statements during the interview?

231.225 - 240.942 Donald Trump

Because they're cheating on the election. Do you have evidence to support that? All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. That's not evidence. And I listen. And I listen to people. And let's see what happens.

240.922 - 242.183 Unknown

But, sir, that's not evidence.

0

242.203 - 250.61 Donald Trump

Do you think it's appropriate? That's how they count the votes in California. Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking one?

261.32 - 263.241 Unknown

To be fair, I'm not crooked. But let's continue.

263.261 - 270.928 Donald Trump

Really? Well, you play right into their hands. Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's continue. You play right into their hands with this crap. You know...

Chapter 6: What are Trump's views on military action and troop presence in the Middle East?

944.02 - 949.568 Donald Trump

You're supposed to give me the list. I mean, you know people that we're talking about. If you give me the names, I'll do my best to get them out.

0

949.688 - 955.716 Unknown

Well, I don't think that's been reported. Huh? I don't think it's all of the people who've been held. All I'm saying is this.

If you have a list of names, give them to me and I will get them out.

But is it something you talk to them about?

0

961.524 - 966.651 Donald Trump

We talk about people if they have them, but nobody knows who they are. Just like you don't know who they are.

966.631 - 970.198 Ben Meiselas

More Donald Trump praising the Ayatollah, let's play it.

970.658 - 981.298 Unknown

Okay, he is the son of the last Supreme Leader who was obviously hardliner. Is this younger Khomeini any better for the United States than his father was?

981.398 - 1004.164 Donald Trump

Younger, I think more rational. injured. He's pretty badly injured. So there's a certain bravery there. A lot of people, if they were injured that badly, they wouldn't be talking about how we're doing with the United States. They'd have other things on their mind. So there's a certain bravery there. But he is very seriously injured, yeah.

1004.144 - 1025.101 Ben Meiselas

And then Kristen Walker's like, okay, well, what about, okay, if you're saying we're not at war, everything's great, would you consider bringing back some of the 50,000 troops that you sent to the Middle East then? Why don't you bring the troops home? costs me very little to keep them there. And we may use them. I don't know what I'm gonna do with them. Here, play this clip.
