Chapter 1: What happened during Donald Trump's press conference on the White House lawn?

0.031 - 26.195 Donald Trump

Donald Trump just crashed out on the White House lawn during a disastrous press conference. He decided to disparage the Epstein victims and survivors during this press conference and said, I heard they didn't want to testify under oath. I was surprised that they just didn't want to share their story. He continued to attack Pope Leo XIV. He said that gas prices weren't high.

Chapter 2: What controversial comments did Trump make about Epstein victims?

32.063 - 51.807 Donald Trump

Between the United States and Iran, sir. Clearly demonstrating more signs of cognitive decline. Let me show you what just went down on the White House lawn moments ago. He was asked by a reporter, do you believe there should be a public hearing for more Epstein survivors? Here's what Donald Trump said, play this clip.

The First Lady last week called on Congress to further look into and uncover the truth on the Epstein files, the Epstein saga. Do you believe that there should be a public hearing for more of these Epstein survivors? Well, I'm okay with it.

66.241 - 88.138 Donald Trump

I think we've had a lot of public hearings. I'm okay with it, but I understand that the... Women didn't want to go under oath. That's what I heard, that the women, the victims or whatever, they refused to go under oath, which was a little surprising. So Melania felt strongly about it because she was accused that I'd met her through Webster, but it turned out to be totally false.

88.338 - 111.135 Donald Trump

It was a false oath. I mean disparaging and defaming the Epstein survivors, saying that they don't want to testify under oath, that they are refusing. The people who should testify under oath, Donald, are you and the others who are part of this cabal. Next, a reporter asked Donald Trump about Melania, saying that she had no links to Epstein and why she held that press conference.

111.576 - 117.268 Donald Trump

Here's what Donald Trump said. Let's play this clip. The First Lady came out last week and said she had no link to Jeffrey Epstein.

Chapter 3: How did Trump respond to questions about a ceasefire?

117.288 - 132.081 Donald Trump

Who did? The First Lady, Melania. She had none. Why did she come out and say that last week? Because the fake news was saying she did, and she had none, and I think that's been proven. It bothered her that the fake news was being fake news, so she just wanted to clarify it.

So these questions aren't going away, Donald, nor are the questions going away about what is actually happening with this catastrophic and disastrous war in Iran and this purported ceasefire, where the more we learn about it, the more it's clear that these purported negotiations between Witkoff and Kushner and and the Trump regime and Vance and Iran are not going very well at all.

156.633 - 175.194 Donald Trump

There's actually no progress that seems to be being made. So what's going on, Donald, about that? And what's going on about this purported ceasefire between Lebanon and Hezbollah? First, here's what Donald Trump says about the potential ceasefire with Iran and about fighting resuming. Play this clip.

175.595 - 179.079 Unknown

Would you be willing to extend the ceasefire or will the fighting resume, Mr. President?

0

179.099 - 199.909 Donald Trump

I would say the fighting, if there's no deal, fight or resume. Okay. More on this in a moment. Donald Trump is asked why he's fighting with the Pope. And then Donald Trump just lies and defames the Pope and says, oh, because he says that he wants Iran to have nuclear weapons. And the reporter, and I'm glad the reporter pushbacks it, the Pope never said that.

199.929 - 221.493 Donald Trump

He never said that Iran should have nuclear weapons and they should be given nuclear weapons. Why are you lying about the Pope? Here's what Donald Trump says. Play this clip. Why are you fighting with the Pope? And are you worried it's upsetting your- No, no, I have to do what's right. The Pope has to understand that, very simple. I have nothing against the Pope. His brother's MAGA all the way.

221.514 - 245.114 Donald Trump

I like his brother, Lewis. I'm not fighting with him. The Pope made a statement. He says, Iran can have a nuclear weapon. I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months, as a protester with no weapons, no nothing. I mean, you take a look at that. So I can disagree with him, Papa. I have a right to disagree.

245.134 - 261.969 Donald Trump

By the way, I want to see more reporters do that. When he lies, check him and say, that's not true. So here Trump was asked, are you considering extending the ceasefire with Iran? He's like, with who? The reporter's like, Iran. Iran, Donald. Pay attention. Here, play this clip.

262.309 - 269.838 Unknown

We had a very good conversation. extending the ceasefire with Iran? With who?
