Chapter 1: What triggered Donald Trump's 1 AM meltdown?

0.183 - 28.842 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump was having a 1am meltdown as Iran responded with force after the United States struck a tanker that was trying to get past the U.S. blockade in the Persian Gulf. In addition, we saw massive escalation in Russia's war against Ukraine. Russia bombarding Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and drones. And then we saw Ukraine responding with strikes on St.

Petersburg and critical oil depots throughout Russia. Donald Trump, throughout all of this, was making social media posts like this. Trump 007 and it's some weird photo of him as like James Bond. That's what he was posting at 1 a.m. Donald Trump posted photos of himself with Whitney Houston from like the late 80s.

Chapter 2: How did Iran respond to U.S. military actions?

51.874 - 60.81 Ben Meiselas

Whitney Houston and future president Donald J. Trump. He then posted this image, the greatest attraction, and it's him giving a speech to his cult.

Chapter 3: What are the latest developments in Russia's war against Ukraine?

60.85 - 82.705 Ben Meiselas

He posted a weird image of Alfred E. Newman next to James Tallarico. And then they were also posting photos in the Oval Office. Not sure when the photos were taken of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, Governor Abbott, and the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, all holding up photos of James Tallarico like they're little toddlers. No offense to little toddlers, but...

There's real, real serious things taking place around the world, and this is how Donald Trump is behaving, this spiraling out of control at 1 a.m. Here's what we know took place. So the U.S. struck a ship attempting to run the blockade. The IRGC responded by attacking a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. then bombed Qashem Island, and then the IRGC attacked Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq.

112.098 - 137.811 Ben Meiselas

Abraham Raze, an Iranian parliament leader, posted, Americans have shown that they understand the language of missiles better than the language of diplomats. Damn, the Navy and Aerospace Force kids of the IRGC are fired up. Here's more of what we learned. Iran launched massive ballistic and drone attacks striking the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, along with U.S.

bases in Kuwait, Ali al-Sam, Arifajan, and an oil tanker near Dubai in response to new U.S. strikes on Qashem Island.

147.113 - 173.61 Ben Meiselas

an iranian oil tanker near the strait of hormuz per taznim which is iran's state media iran says it has officially abandoned its tit-for-tat retaliation now striking back at least 1.5 times as hard for every u.s attack with irgc warning that quote disrupting the security of the strait of hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading u.s military

173.59 - 185.12 Ben Meiselas

So previously, during this fake ceasefire, the U.S. would strike an Iranian target, the Iranians would strike a similar target, and then they would kind of go back and forth.

Chapter 4: What bizarre social media posts did Trump make during the crisis?

185.46 - 202.855 Ben Meiselas

Now Iran's saying, we're not going to play these games anymore. If you keep on violating the ceasefire, we are going to unleash a force that is multiples of what you are expecting, and we're going to show that we're fine going back to war. That's what you want to do, Donald.

0

202.835 - 223.922 Ben Meiselas

if you want to go back to war you know marco rubio said we're not at war anymore just think about rubio telegraphing the weakness there by saying the war is over it's all done and iran's like you are doing this fake ceasefire where you have israel invading lebanon where you're out there striking our targets, and we're just not gonna play this game anymore.

0

224.402 - 249.447 Ben Meiselas

So we're gonna strike air bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. We're gonna go after tankers that we know have a high degree of sensitivity to the United States. One of the tankers that they just struck in the latest salvo of these open hostilities was a tanker belonging to an oil magnate who's very close to Donald Trump, and they targeted that specific tanker on purpose, knowing that the owner

249.427 - 273.274 Ben Meiselas

had a close relationship with Donald Trump. And then the United States CENTCOM claims, oh, we were able to strike down all of the drones and ballistic missiles, and none of them reached their targets. But we actually have video footage again, and we see what was actually going down. We see footage of a Patriot interceptor that was also failing just after launching.

273.254 - 302.113 Ben Meiselas

during the Iranian attack and the Patriot Interceptor, you'll see it's like going for the target, then it actually goes and it strikes an area over here in Kuwait. I'll just show you what this video looks like. Let's play it. Iran released video of its drone and ballistic missile strikes to show what it looked like. I'll show you a quick video that they released. Let's play it.

307.223 - 325.834 Ben Meiselas

And then I want to talk about what's going on in Kyiv right now. 23 civilians killed, at least that number sadly is likely going to rise. Remember Donald Trump promised he was going to end the war, end Russia's war in Ukraine in less than 24 hours. Of course that didn't happen. Hundreds of civilians in Kyiv have been injured.

326.175 - 348.399 Ben Meiselas

This has been one of the most devastating attacks on Kyiv since the war began, if not the most devastating attacks. I'll show you this new video over here from last night's large scale Russian drone and missile attack against Ukraine, which killed all of these people. Russia was using some of its hypersonic cruise missiles as well to strike civilian targets in Kyiv.

348.839 - 368.888 Ben Meiselas

And while all of this very serious, serious stuff is happening, Donald Trump's out there posting reflecting pools and pictures of 007 and pictures with him and Whitney Houston. I mean, this is some deranged and demented stuff right here. I'll just, let me just show you some video footage so you can see firsthand what Kyiv looked like last night. Here, play this clip.

384.545 - 438.715 Ben Meiselas

more photos and more videos coming in from Kyiv. I'll show you another portion of that so you can see for yourself. Let's play it. Now, I also want to show you what's going on in Russia over here, where you can see St. Petersburg, which is over 500 miles from Ukraine. And you can see over here, we'll just throw the B roll up, Ukrainian one-way attack drones flying nearly unimpeded over St.

Chapter 5: What escalated tensions in the Middle East recently?

574.879 - 596.683 Ben Meiselas

So this guy now gets access to our highly classified information. You also have Bill Pulte, You know, from yesterday I reported on this. The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, he's a trust fund guy. He was put into this obscure agency position to be the director of Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae.

0

596.663 - 616.303 Ben Meiselas

Fannie Mae and Freddie so he can go into people's mortgages and then help launch prosecutions against Donald Trump's political enemies by saying, oh, you're not paying your, you know, you misrepresented things on your mortgage statements. Well, now he's going to get access to all of our most top secret and highly classified information.

0

616.803 - 636.12 Ben Meiselas

He has no experience in the intelligence community, no experience at all in in the defense industry, and he's the type of guy who Donald Trump appointed. And here's what Senator Thune had to say about that when he was asked about Pulte. Let's play it.

0

636.505 - 654.144 Unknown

Do you think that Bill Pulte has the experience to be the acting DNI, and same with you, Senator Cotton, as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, is he the kind of person you want leading the Intelligence Committee? I'll defer to the chairman on that. We were just made aware of that appointment this morning.

0

654.665 - 667.619 Unknown

Obviously, it's something that if the administration decides to pursue a permanent appointment to that position, have to come to the Congress and have confirmation hearings. and ultimately a vote here in the Senate. But Senator Cotton, you want to speak to that?

669.221 - 690.947 Unknown

We have four more weeks with Director Gabbard as the DNI, and I look forward to implementing last year's Intelligence Authorization Act with her to implement wide-ranging reforms that will shrink the DNI and take it back to its original intent to provide a mere coordinator or process role for the intelligence community. I have no observations on the matter.

690.927 - 709.552 Ben Meiselas

And then also yesterday, the White House released this video. Again, while all of this was going on, they posted this video on TikTok implying that the UFC arena might be a permanent staple now, that they're going to keep this UFC arena in front of the White House. Why are they building this UFC arena? Come on here, play this clip.

709.753 - 723.043 Unknown

Never took it down. And, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. It's going to have the big UFC fight on June 14th. And I'm looking at it and maybe we'll never ever take it down.

725.234 - 744.662 Ben Meiselas

And then finally, as Reuters reported yesterday, the CIA, I think smartly, does not want to give any information to the DNI. They don't want to give anything to the Office of Director of National Intelligence. They didn't trust Tulsi Gabbard. They sure as hell don't trust Bill Pulte.

Chapter 6: How did Iran change its military response strategy?

761.89 - 775.356 Ben Meiselas

We'll keep you posted every step of the way, of course, as there are more developments happening. But that's what Trump's doing at 1 a.m. while all of this is going on. We'll keep you posted this morning. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching, everybody.
