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. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

144.312 - 172.735 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown at 12, 15 a.m. in the morning. He was attacking members of his own political party and accusing them of engaging in treason for some Republicans joining forces with Democrats to pass a A concurrent war powers resolution to block Donald Trump from restarting the war in Iran. Donald Trump said, I have Iran on the ropes. I'm about to finish the job.

173.075 - 199.243 Ben Meiselas

And now you've undercut me, you treasonous traitors, with this war powers resolution. He was posting that at around 10. 12 15 a.m in the morning also at 12 15 a.m in the morning he was accusing gas companies of engaging in price gouging and he was saying if we look at the futures price of crude it is now decreasing since the straight of hormuz has i guess

199.223 - 224.868 Ben Meiselas

been partially opened, and he said, why is that not being reflected in the gas prices already? Also, Donald Trump's been lying and saying 19 million barrels of oil have traversed the Strait of Hormuz. This is a record. That wouldn't be a record. Last year, the average was 20 million barrels a day, and also you're lying about what's actually happening in the Strait of Hormuz.

224.888 - 252.575 Ben Meiselas

Yes, it is more open now than it was during the war, but it does seem that Iran is prioritizing its tankers, Chinese tankers, and its allies over the other ships. It seems like there's a lot of confusion among the other tankers and the other cargo ships about where they are supposed to go. Do they need certain permits? Are they supposed to go through the Iranian lane, the Oman lane?

Chapter 2: What triggered Donald Trump's 12:15 AM meltdown?

730.314 - 745.179 JD Vance

The thing about this job is there are certainly sacrifices for the family, but it's also just in some ways the easiest possible situation in which to have a baby because there's so much support. Like we have amazing staff. We have people who help us with everything.

745.199 - 754.849 JD Vance

You know, this house, which is, I like it to the nicest public housing anywhere in the world, but like, you know, is largely taken care of by the Navy and the people who work here.

Chapter 3: How did Trump react to Republican opposition during his meltdown?

755.39 - 769.264 JD Vance

And so while having a baby is always a bit of a challenge, especially in a job like this, I actually think that, you know, knock on wood, this is going to be the best way or like the easiest way, at least on the family to bring a new life into the world.

769.244 - 793.823 Ben Meiselas

And then when Donald Trump was heading to Pennsylvania, he said, you know, we have so, there's so many jobs that were being created that you can't get a job. We have the highest job numbers ever. And we're doing so good with jobs that there's just none available. You can't get that. That's how good. We're doing so good employing people that nobody can be employed right now. That's what he said.

793.843 - 795.606 Ben Meiselas

I mean, how ridiculous is this? Play this clip.

0

795.586 - 818.495 Donald Trump

You can't get a job. Right now we have the highest job numbers we've ever had in the country, in the history of the country. And I'm just with a couple of the great senators and congressmen we're talking. It's actually hard to build a job. Nobody's ever seen a time like this. We have right now so many jobs that are going to be available. And the biggest problem we have is getting the people.

819.216 - 821.239 Donald Trump

So we're really doing spectacular.

821.219 - 841.451 Ben Meiselas

Then when a reporter asked him yesterday, so your Department of Defense, which y'all call the Department of War unlawfully, you're asking for another $80 billion for the Iran War when you said the whole thing cost $29 billion, but you need it urgently right now because you've run out of munitions. So what do you say about that? Then of course, Donald Trump just attacks the reporter.

841.571 - 843.273 Ben Meiselas

Here's what he says. Let's play this clip.

847.36 - 857.212

The Department of War is asking for $80 billion more for the Iran War. Do you think Americans support this at a time when so many are financially struggling?

857.232 - 869.607 Donald Trump

Who are you with? I'm with the nation, sir. Not a very good group. Not doing very well. Not only do they support it, not only do they support it, they demand it because they won't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. You want to see trouble? Let them have a nuclear weapon.

Chapter 4: What accusations did Trump make against gas companies?

870.007 - 876.775 Donald Trump

We're doing very well with Iran. They've been decimated, and we're making a deal with them, and we'll see how that all goes.

876.89 - 898.545 Ben Meiselas

And that's the Trump regime in a nutshell for you. No wonder a new Pew Research Center survey finds negative, overwhelmingly negative views about the United States president in regions around the globe. 65% of Canadians say the US is no longer a reliable partner. 79% of Canadians have zero confidence in Donald Trump to do the right thing.

0

899.046 - 927.459 Ben Meiselas

I want to know who the other people are who say that they have confidence in him. I guess Maple Magus still exists a little bit. 66% of Canadians now have an unfavorable view of the United States right now. Way to go. And also, in other news, in a stunning upset, the Mamdani-backed candidates, all three won in New York in those congressional primaries right there. A new era rising over there.
