I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify.

Can you stop being stupid? Can you stop driving?

153.745 - 179.483 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is now walking around Versailles, the symbolism as the United States crumbles under Donald Trump's failed leadership. Donald Trump wanted to take a trip to Versailles. And as Donald Trump arrived, he held one of the most disastrous press conferences on the tarmac. Donald Trump said, first and foremost, that he doesn't care if Iran has ballistic missiles.

0

179.463 - 185.575 Ben Meiselas

Not a big deal, and he claims that was never something that he focused on at all. Let's play this clip.

Chapter 5: What is Trump's stance on sanctions regarding Russian oil?

185.595 - 191.887

You said you don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles. Can you elaborate on that?

0

191.907 - 212.988 Donald Trump

I want to make sure we understand your position. No, I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some. A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about when we talk nuclear. But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay. That's what I mean.

213.009 - 221.4 Ben Meiselas

Then he says he doesn't care if Iran has any nuclear dust. Said that was never a big deal to him at the outset as well. Play this clip.

Chapter 6: What were the implications of Trump's comments on the Iran agreement?

222.443 - 231.711

How important is it in the MOU, which just came out, that Iran commits not only to not pursue nuclear weapons, but also resolve the nuclear customers? THE PRESIDENT.

0

231.732 - 251.91 Donald Trump

It's great. Much less important, because it's very hard to get at that. I don't think anybody could get at it. We could get at it with great work and a lot of time. But the B-2 bombers and those great pilots, now you understand they did their job. So, much less important than not having a nuclear weapon.

253.088 - 266.69 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump got the news that the Federal Reserve are keeping interest rates the same, but may be raising interest rates at their next meeting. Donald Trump says, yeah, I don't really care about that either.

Chapter 7: How did Trump's remarks reflect on his leadership style?

266.73 - 279.67 Ben Meiselas

Really, you were just attacking the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, for that precise thing when he did not do that, and now you're saying you just don't care, you don't care about anything? Here, play this clip.

0

279.65 - 290.195

Say it. It's all right. Whatever. It could happen.

0

290.516 - 298.955 Donald Trump

I mean, it's hard to believe. It just keeps the country down. You know, so it's so... Unusual.

Chapter 8: What are the potential consequences of Trump's decisions discussed in this episode?

299.717 - 310.872 Donald Trump

But we have a very good guy over there now, so I'm guided by what he wants. Was this his first time? Yeah, I don't know. I saw a statement. It just came out.

0

310.987 - 330.993 Ben Meiselas

Then he's asked, well, what about, when do we expect a final deal? Not this memorandum of understanding with Iran. When's a real, like a deal? When's that going to happen? In 60 days, Donald Trump, as you may have predicted, said, yeah, I don't care. I don't know, 60 days, we could extend it. It doesn't really matter.

331.013 - 366.853 Ben Meiselas

It seems that he doesn't care about anything other than his trip to Versailles, his tourist trip, where he can be around gold. Here, play this clip. Then Donald Trump talked about the press conference that he gave earlier, and he talks to one of the reporters, Steve, and he says, Steve, you shot your load. You shot your load pretty much. I think the press conference went well.

0

366.933 - 370.457 Ben Meiselas

Did you like shooting your load, he says. Let's play this clip.

0

370.842 - 392.04 Donald Trump

The press conference seems to have gone well. You shot your load pretty much, Steve, right? Pretty much. But going well. Seems like the agreement's very well undertow. Are you coming to Versailles with us? I hope. I'm going to try and get you to do the tour because, honestly, it's unbelievable.

392.948 - 406.701 Ben Meiselas

One thing I've learned is that car repairs never happen at a convenient time. I've had those moments where a warning light comes on and suddenly you're staring at a repair bill you weren't planning for. It's stressful, especially when you're lying on your car every single day. That's why I like CarShield.
