43.133 - 69.269 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is heading to the World Economic Forum where nobody wants him there and where yesterday all of the world leaders spoke out against the Trump regime's despicable behavior as Donald Trump was heading to Davos. The White House claimed it was, quote, minor electrical issues that were plaguing Air Force One while it was in the air. Air Force One had to turn around.

0

69.69 - 87.357 Ben Meiselas

It returned to Joint Base Andrews, and they had to get on a different plane, Trump and his regime. and others in the press. And others in the press heard Trump and his regime joke about, ah, you see, we need the Qatari jet. We'd be so much better with the Qatari jet.

0

87.397 - 114.979 Ben Meiselas

But interestingly, as Ed O'Keefe reports, the White House press pool reports that Donald Trump ordered the new jet, but reporters didn't actually witness him getting off the old plane and aboard the new one. But anyway, they got into the new plane and now they're going to be late. To Davos because apparently Air Force One had these electrical issues while in the air. A prize idiot. A prize idiot.

115.6 - 148.304 Ben Meiselas

That is the front page of many a UK paper, specifically the Metro. A prize idiot. Look at Davos. This is a UK newspaper right here. The first thing on the front page, it says is Land Grab Row shakes NATO alliance and shows the protests in Nuuk and Denmark. And then it also shows the Norway prime minister. saying, the Nobel has nothing to do with me.

148.424 - 158.613 Ben Meiselas

I don't have anything to do with the Nobel Award. I've told Donald Trump repeatedly. Why does he keep thinking that Norway has some power over the Nobel Peace Prize?

Chapter 2: What happened during Donald Trump's flight to Davos?

158.654 - 184.945 Ben Meiselas

It's an independent committee. Then it also says, Trump, seeing as Norway snubbed me for the Peace Award, I want Greenland for the United States instead. We covered Donald Trump's disastrous press conference yesterday to mark one year while in office. Just look at what he looks like. Like, look how sickly and bizarre he looks. Look at Caroline Leavitt right there. You see her sitting there?

0

185.346 - 203.925 Ben Meiselas

Caroline Leavitt was looking at Donald Trump like totally. terrified of just his cognitive and physical decline. I'm gonna do a whole other video on this. Now, Caroline Levitt's predecessor as somebody by the name of Stephanie Grisham, and Stephanie Grisham was Donald Trump's former press secretary.

0

204.305 - 232.45 Ben Meiselas

And here's what she posted during and right after Donald Trump's bizarre press conference that he held yesterday. She writes, this presser is bizarre even for him. It's all the usual rambling off topic tales. Half truth lies. I fixed everything. No one has ever seen anything like it stuff, but it's low energy and feels like he's mentally slipping. Congress, please wake up, please.

0

232.991 - 251.918 Ben Meiselas

Hashtag emperor has no clothes. That's Donald Trump's former press secretary. Let me just repeat that. Donald Trump's former press secretary saying, Congress, can you please get involved and invoke the 25th Amendment? Y'all saw this press conference. I covered it yesterday, so I'm not going to just do it all over again.

0

Chapter 3: What were the reported issues with Air Force One?

251.938 - 272.618 Ben Meiselas

I'll just show a short portion of it. You have Donald Trump saying, He prefers when towns have military people in it because it makes the towns look better to him when there's military in towns. As Mike Rothschild says, we've come a long way from don't tread on me. Here, play this clip.

0

272.698 - 285.93 Donald Trump

They were picking up garbage. They were great. And I don't know. To me, a town, it looks better when you have military people. These are big, strong guys. The bad guys look at them and they say, we're not going to mess around.

0

Chapter 4: How did Trump's team react to the Air Force One malfunction?

286.383 - 295.617 Ben Meiselas

And then Donald Trump was whining about the Nobel Prize and saying that Norway snubbed him, so now he needs to invade Greenland. Here, play this clip.

0

295.718 - 320.175 Donald Trump

The time we ended, they were hugging each other, and it's been a great peace, you know? Should have gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don't say that. I saved millions and millions of people. And don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots, okay? It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. I said, we have nothing to do with it. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige.

0

320.815 - 337.134 Ben Meiselas

And then he kept on holding up this like large paperclip thing. And he kept on saying, you know, I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That would have been bad if my finger was in that sucker. Here, play this clip.

0

337.154 - 362.425 Donald Trump

The book on accomplishments. And this is something... Oh, I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could have done some damage, but you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. I would have gone back. Boy, did you hear that? That was nasty. But I would not have shown the pain. I would have acted like nothing happened as my finger fell off. That was nasty. I think somebody did that.

0

363.012 - 369.463 Donald Trump

I think it was him. It was my man. How are you? You didn't do it. I know you did. I know you did.

369.964 - 383.046 Ben Meiselas

So all the all the while, while Donald Trump is talking about invading Greenland and what he say that we're going to buy it for 700 billion dollars. Well, what? Well, well played, Donald.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's presence at the World Economic Forum?

383.026 - 408.549 Ben Meiselas

In threatening to acquire Greenland and pay them $700 billion, which they don't want. By the way, while you rip away health care from Americans, while things are less affordable here, while people can't afford homes. Yesterday, the stock market wiped away $1.2 trillion in value as Donald Trump threatened and attacked all of our allies.

0

408.989 - 436.397 Ben Meiselas

While you have this World Economic Forum taking place in Davos, right? I mean, you have Prime Minister Carney of Canada developing war plans described as a Mujahideen style insurgency in the event Donald Trump invades Canada, amongst other war plans. You have Greenland and Denmark preparing war plans in the event Donald Trump invades there.

0

436.877 - 454.854 Ben Meiselas

You have all of Europe denouncing and speaking out Donald Trump. You have every American stock plummeting yesterday. You know, it was just a bloodbath. You have the Dow was down nearly 2%, S&P down over 2%, NASDAQ down nearly 2.5% yesterday as well.

0

455.234 - 470.408 Ben Meiselas

And then before Donald Trump got on Air Force One and before it malfunctioned, he gave this deranged interview with News Nation, where again, he talks about how he loves to see the military in DC because it makes cities look better when you invade with military. to play this clip.

0

470.529 - 482.052 Donald Trump

This is beautiful. And you have good looking solid military people walking around. It's actually I think it's almost like an enhancement. Everybody feels safe.

482.487 - 508.834 Ben Meiselas

Then he goes on to talk about how he was hunted, and now he's the hunter, and that's how he sees his role as the president, to be the hunter. Just give Americans healthcare. Help Americans get a good education. If people are working a job, let them be paid with dignity. Let's protect our vulnerable populations. Let's make housing affordable. What is this? You're the hunter?

508.894 - 512.037 Ben Meiselas

What are we even saying here? Here, play this clip.

512.217 - 535.721 Donald Trump

But the fake news, the fake politicians, everything, Russia, Russia, Russia, the hoax, the hoax of the century, all of the different things. And in a way, I was the hunted. And now I'm more of the hunter, I must tell you. And these are bad people. These are sick people. I don't know, something wrong with them. But this is more pleasurable. There's no question about it.

535.741 - 547.678 Ben Meiselas

And then Donald Trump says that he's warned Iran, I've left notification that if anything ever happens in Iran, the whole country is going to get blown up.

Chapter 6: Why are world leaders speaking out against Trump during Davos?

547.945 - 562.562 Ben Meiselas

Well, Donald Trump is moving more military assets now in the Persian Gulf. That's what's taking place. So we had to move him from the Caribbean, moving more now towards the Persian Gulf. But you promised already

0

562.795 - 580.095 Ben Meiselas

that if the ayatollah killed any protesters that you would blow up all of iran they've killed thousands of protesters then you posted a message congratulating the ayatollah for not hanging an additional 800 people and you believe the ayatollah should be applauded for that

0

580.075 - 605.543 Ben Meiselas

so now you're back to saying we're going to blow up all of iran you're going to you're going to blow everything up that's that's the game plan right now and do we all realize how destabilized the middle east is now too i know there's so much going on that it's hard to pay attention to all of it but that's why we'll laser focus on the stuff like donald trump propping up the syrian uh dictator the former leader of al-qaeda al-jalani who now goes by al-sharar

0

605.523 - 623.093 Ben Meiselas

al-shara rather and the syrian forces have basically destroyed the syrian democratic forces the sdf and the kurdish semi-autonomous area in northern syria who were our allies against isis and al-qaeda anyway but here's what donald trump says on iran here play this clip

0

623.157 - 641.217 Donald Trump

But what is your response to Iran's leadership in the regime continuing to taunt you, threaten you, especially given over the weekend you said it's time for new leadership in Iran? Well, they shouldn't be doing it, but I've left notification. Anything ever happens, we're going to blow the whole country is going to get blown up.

641.197 - 654.137 Donald Trump

So we've, you know, originally Biden should have said something, you know, when they made a statement, we always said, why isn't Biden saying anything? Because he didn't. But a president has to defend a president.

654.518 - 682.942 Ben Meiselas

A few other things I want to point out as well. court filings yesterday that we need to pay attention to. You had Donald Trump filing in federal court to block special counsel Jack Smith from talking about the volume two which is the report on Mar-a-Lago. So Donald Trump wanted to block anything that special counsel Jack Smith can talk about Mar-a-Lago.

682.962 - 702.085 Ben Meiselas

I just want you to think about that, right? So Donald Trump and all of his MAGAs want to attack Jack Smith, but prevent him when he testifies in front of Congress from talking about Donald Trump stealing classified documents or releasing volume two of the report before he speaks to Congress. It's ridiculous. I don't care, again, if you're a Democrat, Republican,

702.622 - 721.765 Ben Meiselas

independent, why is Donald Trump and the Republicans, if they're so confident that Donald Trump did nothing wrong, why do they want to block Jack Smith from testifying about volume two, which is Trump's Mar-a-Lago document case, Donald Trump taking the documents, why wouldn't they want him to talk about that? So there's that.
