LIVE: Trump IN CRISES..WAR SPREADS!!! 9/29/2026

This has been on breaking news. I'm Ben. Meelis and this is your breaking news. War continues to escalate in Ukraine. Russia's war on Ukraine is indeed. escalating. We've been hearing from a. number of European countries and Eastern. Europe and elsewhere as their air force. is on high alert after recent Russian. strikes in Ukraine. right by the border. with Poland. You also have Ukraine. strikes in Russia near the border with.

Bellarus. Uh you have Russian strikes. throughout Ukraine in Kev, in Zapriia, in Odessa. uh and uh generally throughout Ukraine. I mean, we've been covered the Nepro, we've been covering uh everything that's. been going down on a daily basis. Frankly, it shocks my conscience that. corporate news or news in general is not. reporting about the wars raging across.

the world. I mean, I remember growing up. when there was a war, there was a. national consciousness that the war was. taking place, especially if there were. to be a war with world war potential as. we're seeing unfold right now. And the. images and videos are there for us to. see. I mean, there are people in Ke, there are people inside Russia, there. are people in Poland who are taking. these videos and they're accessible. And. so, to me, it is part of a duty of the.

media to be able to report on what's. actually happening. And look, the Trump. regime is pushing all of their. propaganda. I mean, they really started. this week with the fire hose of even. more market manipulation than we've seen. before. Now we're hearing actually. there's more oil leaving the straight of. Hormuz than before the war. Oh, it's. it's gotten better, everybody. It's.

gotten better. I mean, do you just think. we're that stupid? But the market's. getting manipulated on this. For short. bursts, you'll see three to five percent. drops in the price of oil. You don't see. the conccommatant drops, however, in. diesel. Diesel futures are up 14 cents. today. Yes, you saw a slight reprieve. based on the market manipulation when it. came to Brent and WTI right there, but. it's just sheer market manipulation. And.

what I don't know appalls, fascinates, grosses me out all at once is seemingly. smart people who even a group of people. I mean, look, there's obviously the. people I don't respect. There are the. liars. There are the propagandists. There are just the awful evil demonic. people who just want to screw us all. over. I'm not talking about that group. But there were even people who I thought. were decent reporters or people with.

decent perspective. And as soon as Axios. goes and reports the latest market. manipulation, they regurgitate this. stuff as though it's true. I mean, look, this is a Trump regime that said in. April, in 3 days, Iran was going to blow. up because its pipes would get so. congested with oil because the embargo. was working so well that Iran couldn't. take it anymore. And it's like, here we. are approaching October. The US doesn't.

control the straight of Hormuz. If we. did control the straight of Hormuz, you. know what would happen? you would be. able to sail US aircraft carriers and. destroyers into the straight of Hormuse. That's what we would see. So, we don't. control the straight of Hormuz. In fact, what we learn each day is two weeks ago. there's actually eight Marines who were. aboard a tanker, a civilian tanker, which now appears to be the St. Helena,

which became a floating armory where our. marines are what cannon fodder for Iran. and they're being used as I don't know. what to to help certain other tankers go. through the southern route of the. straight of Hormuz. even if these other ships are getting. through the straight of Hormuz because. we now are placing the lives of our. marines at risk by putting them on. tankers which seems to be what we're.

doing. You do realize that the overall. because we don't control the straight of. hormuz the premium the value that has. been added or not value the cost that. has been added to the tankers now. leaving the straight of is far more than. the war began. So even if you say ships. are getting out, which I don't believe. they are. I don't believe that is. happening. I see the prices of diesel. I. see the prices of gas. We can actually. see on satellite imagery the ships. We.

know what's going in. We know what's. going. Even if they were getting out, the cost of getting them out is so much. more money because of the amount of one, insurance rate hikes that exist right. now and also the amount of costs that. these ships are now going to be charging. in order to facilitate the process. because of the risk involved because the. US doesn't control the straight of. Hormuse. So I think the graph that's. telling is seeing that diesel's.

continuing to rise, right? What's being. sold from the refinery, which is. ultimately what you and I fill up our. cars or trucks with, cars with gas, trucks with diesel, those prices are. going up because the paper market is. being manipulated, but the spot market, what we're actually paying, is. reflecting what's really happening. Don't even get me started on the. Treasury yields and the bond market. The. reason that the 30-year Treasury yield,

it's like a vertical line at this point, heading up basically to 6% right now. I. mean, that's at 5.6 5.65%. on the 30 year on the 30-year yield. That's the interest the United States. has to pay when it basically sells these. bonds, which equals around $1.35. trillion a year that we have to pay now. to service the debt that's being issued. because no one wants to hold our bonds.

anymore. Our paper that's going up. because guess what? The market is. pricing that the US doesn't control the. straight moves. The tariffs against the. world are a disaster. The US is. basically being viewed like a chaotic. developing nation at this point. And. that's why you're seeing that's what I'm. paying attention to. And I just wish. people could explain this to other why. we talk about this in the community. I.

say look at the price the refineries. are. So like let's use common sense. When oil leaves the straight of Hormuz, it doesn't end there. The oil has to be. refined. It has to be refined into gas, diesel, jet fuel, and other things. What. is that being sold for? Because maybe. that's relevant to the inquiry into what. you and I are actually paying. What are. the treasury yields at? Because that. also impacts the way interest rates do. Um, it impacts what you're paying when.

you take out a loan. Mortgages. There's. a reason that the 30-year fixed. mortgage, it's like approaching 8% soon. It's like 7.3, 7.4. The other day was. 7.5%. And it fluctuates from day to day, but that's heading up. So, people can't. afford homes. They can't take out loans. right now. And what the market is now. pricing in is like 125 more basis points. in interest rates rising. Like there.

should be four maybe five more interest. rate hikes now that will be taking place. in the next year or so when if Donald. Trump did nothing and just let Biden's. economy go on autopilot and not do. anything, we would have had three. interest rate cuts. And so now we're. probably going to have three to five. interest rate hikes. It's a swing of. about 225.

basis points from the cuts that were. supposed to take place to now about 125. to 150 basis points increasing. And what. this means is it makes the cost of. living that much more damn difficult. And this is why, you know, when Darlene. Graham and these MAGA Republicans are. like, "We don't we don't care about damn. we don't care about damn foreign events. Our voters aren't asking us about damn. about damn wars or about damn Taiwan.".

First off, I think voters are I think. voters are smarter than what you're. saying. I think they understand that. what's happening impacts here. But. that's the issue. What's happening. across the world right now is what is. impacting prices here. Trump's trade war. against the world, his tariffs against. the world. Shocker. It's causing the. inflation that every economist warned. about because that's what tariffs do.

There's a reason that the lesson from. history was that tariffs were a. accelerant and perhaps a cause of a. great depression. Let's not repeat the. stupidity just because we have an idiot. and dumb sex predator in the Oval Office. who likes the freaking word tariff. That's dumb and that will hurt the. people and we're seeing it hurt the. people. Hurts people. Catastrophic wars. There's a reason that the American. people don't want neverending wars or we.

don't want any more never- ending wars. We don't want our money being used to. engage in war crimes and to kill. children and to slaughter people. That's. not where we want our taxpayer dollars. going to. We wanted to help American. people out. We wanted to be good. citizens of the world, not to kill. people, not to say last year Iran's. nuclear capabilities are totally. obliterated, total obliteration. But. then say we have to invade with. Netanyahu. because we need to shut down the nuclear.

facilities that we said were totally. obliterated. Despite 25 years ago also. the United States saying Iran was weeks. from getting a nuclear weapon. You go. back 30 years basically you have. Netanyahu saying Iran was about to get a. nuclear weapon every two weeks for a. 30-year period. Enough is enough. We're. not buying it. And it's not a talking. point. It's not political messaging when. we talk about cost of living. Oh, cost. of this isn't some like can I push. somebody two points to vote Democratic.

if I say cost of living. No, people are. suffering right now. Cost of living. means people in the United States are. having trouble living and the Trump. regime has made it so much damn worse in. every aspect from ripping away people's. health care to screwing people when they. fill up their gas, when they shop for. groceries, when they can't get jobs, when they're not getting paid with. dignity. There's a reason consumer. confidence is at an all-time low. I go.

now to where I started and that is war. is raging across the world. Donald Trump. promised if you elect him in 24 hours he. would be able to stop the war in. Ukraine. Trump said he had magic words. He would say these magic words to Putin. He would say these magic words to. Zalinski. and then the war would end. He. couldn't tell you what those magic words.

were because they're super secret during. the campaign, but he would use those. words, the big words, the hugest words. imaginable. They would be unleashed if. you elected him. Okay. So, what were. those words? Uh, Zullinski, um, you want. to do a deal, uh, Putin, you want to do. a deal? No, you you don't. You don't. Why? Oh, you want to take over Ukraine? You don't want to give up Ukraine? Oh,

you sure you don't want to do a deal? Deal? Uh, but deal? Can we do a deal? I. do. Good deal. You want to do a deal? It's like that was the plan. Are we. really that dumb? That's what you were. That would. a deal. A deal. I do deals. Everybody, did you know I do deals? Oh, look. I do. the biggest deals. The American people. know this is all one massive fraud. One massive deal turd. Someone who can't.

do deals at all. Someone who is only. capable of destroying and blaming. Never. a builder. Always a destroyer. Never a. dealmaker. Always a breacher of. agreements. And we're seeing that play. out. I mean you just heard Moshin Rasi. he is the uh one of the main advisors to. Mojaba Ki and he was like we gave terms.

to Trump and Trump is incapable of. making decisions. So we've written off. any ability to make a deal with the. United States. The guy is incapable of. doing a deal. He just he's he's not able. to do one at all. That's just. Trump. He's He's a loser. He's a loser. And And you saw what happened on the. world stage at the UN. You saw what. happened um when he had Xi Jinping show.

up and Trump had our service members get. down on their knees for she. Literally, our air force personnel and our army got. down on their knees for she. While Trump. showed she a shrine that he built for. Shei. And then Trump and all of the MAGA. cabinet did a whole massive state. banquet for she. A state banquet in.

she's honor partying with she and the. CCP. Yeah, you know me. That's what. Donald saying. Oh, we're worried about. communism coming into the can't elect a. democrat communist. Really? How utterly. pathetic. And then we learn, of course, this isn't a shocker, but Iran providing. being provided satellite footage from. China. Dual component parts to build. drones from China. By the way, the. Houthies dual component parts from.

China. Of course, there are. Where do. you think it's coming from? Where do you. think the Garin 4 and Garin 5 drones, those are those new Russia jet fueled. drones? The Garen 5 is sometimes called. a drone. I look at it like a hybrid. It's a bit of a cruise missile, but has. some drone capabilities. The Garen 4 is. clearly a drone, jet fueled. Where do. you think the parts are? They're all. Chinese parts. And some of the. semiconductor chips are US companies.

Yeah. The same people who were partying. with Donald Trump today and with all the. AI billionaires and tech billionaires. and data center billionaires, their. parts end up in those gar. five Russian drones. And when you. deconstruct it, that's actually what you. see. I I brought on lawyers who had. actually brought lawsuits against some. of these big tech companies and these. semiconductor companies because their. parts are all finding their way into. these Russian drones and there's no. control mechanism. Let me show you.

what's taking place though right now. A. Russian Garen 5 drone striking a truck. parking area 1 kilometer from Poland's. border. Let's play this clip. Let's. go. >> Uh Poland,

all these European countries, high. alert, high alert, high alert. Um let's. take a look at what happened in Denipro. where a strike on the city center. business center over there. This is. right in the heart of Denipro, which is. a little southeast of Kev if you're. looking on a map by the Denipro River. Here, play this clip.

in Kev, the National Academy of Science. Center in the city center of Kev hit by. a drone and then you had all of these. people trying to escape through the. windows as the fire department was.

putting these ladders up. A harrowing. scene indeed. Here, play this clip. Russia bombed the Dobbat Medical Center. in Ukraine's capital, Kev. Here, play. this clip.

Now I'll take you to the Russian. Bellarusian border where there was a. drone attack on a truck. This was very. very close to Bellarus's border. This is. believed to be a Ukrainian drone. Here, let's play this clip.

Yeah, there's. going.

Every day we see this taking place. I. want to prepare people for what's. happening right now in this winter. There's no shock. So Russia's been able. to develop these Garen 4 Garin 5 jet. fueled drones. The Garen 5 is a bit of a. hybrid to me. It looks more like a. cruise missile, but some people call it. a drone. Any event, Ukraine really. struggles to strike these Garin 4 and. Garin fives with drone interceptors that. worked against the older Shahid models.

These are like advanced Shahids. They. took the kind of Iranian Shahed and they. added more jet power to it. They go much. faster. They're hard to intercept. The. worry that Zalinsky had heading into the. winter is that Russia was stockpiling. ballistics and cruise missiles, but. particularly the ballistics were. impossible for Ukraine to strike down. without the Patriot and THAAD. interceptors. You needed the ballistic.

interceptors. Trump promised Sinsky the. interceptors or at least interceptor. licenses and then never delivered that. And then the US ran out of its own. interceptors in the catastrophic war. with Iran. The US had to pull. interceptors away from Asia and Europe. and other areas as well. And then the US. ran out of those kind of supplemental. interceptors. Every time those Patriots. shoot Patriot Pack 3 interceptors, about. $4 million per interceptor, they shoot.

two at the same time. $8 million to. basically shoot down a cruise missile or. a ballistic missile. The cheaper cruise. missiles can cost $150,000, $200,000. The drones cost about $30,000. to $50,000. So, we're using uh what $8. million to shoot down things that are, let's say, blended rate of $100,000. The. THAD interceptors are about $11 million. per interceptor. So you shoot two at the.

same time, which is how they're made to. shoot two. $22 million every THAD. interceptor to shoot down $100,000. drone/cruise. missile, if you will. Um, you see how. unsustainable that is. Okay, so the big. fear was the ballistics. And now you add something to that, the. drones. Sinsky used to be able to strike. down the drones. 90% interception rate. on the drones with the old Shahids and.

the issue was the ballistics basically. 0% interception rate now 0% interception. rate on the ballistics and at most a 51%. interception rate of the Garen 4 Garen 5. well Garen 4 Garin 5 is lower than that. so just blend it and say about a 35%. interception rate or 30% interception. rate on the new Garin models Okay, so. now we're heading into the winter. There. was a stalemate on the front where.

because of the advancements in drone. warfare, you basically had trench. warfare of World War I with drones, right? So imagine t You don't have to. imagine, you can see it. Um trench. warfare but with drones and modern. technology and autonomous death killing. machines right there. So someone would. just go a little bit at the front, boom, wiped out. Everyone would die right. away. And so no one was advancing at the. front. So now you have this escalation. where you have the city centers and.

areas being struck in Kev by Russia. You. have Zalinski and Ukraine striking. logistical centers in Russia while. Russia strikes in Kev in these areas. And this is getting worse and worse and. worse by the day. I'm preparing. This is. what's going on. This is just an. objective reality. As every day. progresses, things get worse. It's why. I'm covering it right now because I. don't see this coverage in many other. places. And it's critical. We know what. the hell is happening. And of course,

this is impacting us here at home as. well. And also, just as global citizens, we should care about this. But this is. going to impact us at home as well. And. when the US invades Venezuela and steals. the resources, it gives Russia the. easiest out. Russia goes, "You've you're. going to lecture us on Ukraine. Y'all. stole the gold and oil from Venezuela. You don't have moral authority to. lecture us about what we're doing." Do. you see how that all any former. president could have taken over.

Venezuela, so why don't you do it? One, we shouldn't be stealing and conquering. and taking resources of weaker nations, but why is it that bigger nations don't. just pillage and steal from weaker. nations all the time? that existed. before in the world and that brought us. to world wars. So we created an. architecture to try to avoid that and. now that's thrown out the window. There's lasting damage even beyond the. fact that we shouldn't have done it. Um. and that lasting damage is being felt.

first break of the show reminder. We. talk about all this stuff also in WTF. America. Pre-order it right now. It's. available for there's audio that I read. the audio with my brothers. Comes out. October 20th, but if you were going to. wait, do the pre-order now. It's so. helpful to do the pre-orders. Let's take. our first break of the show. I'll see. you when we get back from this quick. break. By the way, if you're on Medicare, I've. got good news and bad news that you. might want to hear. According to the.

National Council on Aging, the average. senior on Medicare is overpaying by more. than $1,000 a year for their coverage. And it gets worse. One in 10 is. overpaying by $2,000 or more. And only. about 10% are on the plan that actually. fits their needs best. It's easy to see. why the system is so confusing. And that. confusion allows unscrupulous brokers. and insurance companies to rob you. blind. That's why it's so important to. talk to a trusted advisor whose only job.

is getting you the best coverage for you. at the best price. The good news is I. found an adviser for you. Chapter. Chapter is the only national Medicare. advisor that compares every plan. nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions, and what matters. most to you and your situation to help. you find the best plan for you. If. you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you. If not, they'll help. you fix it. Folks who found a new plan.

with Chapter saved an average of $1,100. on health care costs. So, find out if. you are overpaying and get the best. coverage for you by calling Chapter. today at 82 Medicare. That's 82. Medicare. I've never been a fan of having a whole. cabinet full of supplements and trying. to remember what to take, when to take. it, and how much. That's why I like I. am8.

You know, Donald Trump had all the AI. billionaires and data center. billionaires at the Oval Office. While. the American people are feeling the pain.

as a result of these surging prices of. gas and diesel and just about everything. else is out of reach, people can't. afford homes. People are really, really. struggling. Things are grim and bad. indeed. And Donald Trump said, "You know. what we're going to do? Let's bring over. all the billionaires who run data. centers and do all this AI and let's. make it clear that we don't want to. regulate any AI at all. Let's talk about. renaming AI to SI and we'll call it.

super intelligence because that's Donald. Trump's solution to everything. You just. give it a name or you paint it blue and. you don't actually address the problem. The problem actually gets worse. But you. just give it a name and then you defraud. the people and go, "Look what I did. Super intelligence. Look what I did. I. painted it blue. Look what I did. I. called it epic fury. Look what I did. I. called it Midnight Hammer. Look at what. I did." you know, it's just it's just. BS. And it's because he's a fraud. He's. a lifelong fraud. He's a con artist,

although I know you don't like when I. call him a con artist because it has the. word artist in it. Um, so surrounded and. flanked by all of these billionaires. Donald Trump was in front of the Oval. Office and Trump said about data. centers. I'm very good at real estate. and I love data centers. Those buildings. absolutely beautiful. He says they're. big and they're powerful and they are. the best data centers everywhere. Listen. to what he said moments ago. Let's play.

it. >> The data centers are incred. And by the. way, I'm very good at real estate. Some. of those buildings are absolutely. beautiful. >> Very good at real estate. Very good, everybody. That's what good people at. real estate say, how good they are at. real estate. I'm very good at it. Those. buildings, beautiful. Then you have. these tech CEOs laughing as Donald Trump. attacks CNN and says, "She's fake news. She's fake news." Surrounded by the. oligarchy. The same type of people who.

were there with Xi Jinping. And. remember, these would be the people who. would uh you know that Donald Trump used. to say, "Look, they're involved in big. tech censorship. Now they are an arm of. the regime. They are an oligarchy." And. so every allegation is just a confession. and projection of the fascism and the. predatorial nature of the Epstein class. Watch as the tech CEOs laugh as Donald.

Trump says CNN fake news here. Play this. clip right here. >> Everyone here we can win. >> Do you think policing is ahead of you? Hold it. Hold it. Hold. CNN fake news. Do you do you think that self policing. is enough? >> Follow look Dario has been fantastic and. we had dinner the other night and he. agrees with everyone. I mean. >> and you know look Daario right the. anthropic guy or whatever you know he.

got out of that scene but how cowardly. how cowardly all of those people around. him. how I mean like just the biggest. freaking kick. What the hell, you know? All of those people who surround him. Just remember them. Just remember that. image right there. These people may have. all of that money, but I want everybody. to remember what they've done, how. they've sold out. Because, you know, in. two years they're going to be out there.

acting like they're giving money to. civil rights and this and that. And I. was never there. and we had to we just. had to do what we had to do in the time. Just remember it because let me be very. clear. We can't go back to the status. quo. That is unacceptable. when we're talking about what the future. looks like. It is a return to what was. happening before Trump. That got us. Trump and that will get us future Trump.

We have to make sure that we focus on. actually listening to people, delivering. for the people, and we need to. understand that it's those people over. there who are actually trying to kill us. right now. They're okay with us all. dying. That's what I see over there. I. see the Epstein class. I see a. racketeering enterprise, in my opinion, at the White House. someone that is so. willing to cover up the Epstein files. and child sex trafficking and slaughter.

little girls in Manab and children in La. Mer and people all across this world who. are perfectly okay with genocide in Gaza. and slaughtering children in Lebanon. I. see people who find this all funny. They. find this all one big laughing matter. while they make their billions of. dollars while the American people don't. even have health care. Well, they can't. even afford to pump up their car with. gasoline or their trucks with diesel and.

they're all out there mucking it up. Infuriating. Infuriating. Then Maggamike Johnson goes on makes his. rounds on the various shows and Magga. Mike Johnson says Operation Epic Fury. was epic. It was amazing and now we just. got to re we got to got to resolve it. But it was epic. That's my message to. voters. Epic Fury was epic. Here, play. this clip. >> Operation Epic Fury was an epic success.

Now we got to resolve that. The. president's laser focused on it. You've. heard developments over the last 24 36. hours. I think we're getting very close. to that. I think Iran is running out of. resources to sell. They're down to 15. million barrels of oil to sell to China. We think um and so we're entering a new. phase of this and I think we get it. >> Oh, really? Oh, really? They're running. out. Just a few days. Two more weeks. is. all going to be good. Three more weeks. One more week. Three more weeks. Iran's. running out. They're they're going to. give up. They're going to surrender. What did Trump say yesterday? The.

horrible things he says about Canada. He. goes, "I think with uh naming Lake. Ontario, Lake America," which nobody. listens to other than those tech. billionaires over there, uh Canada's. going to say, "Please, sir, please sir, we'd love to do a deal with you now, sir. Can we do a deal with you? Because. these people are sex predators. These. people are scum and they think that if. they torture. torture that people submit because.

they're sex predators like Trump is, right? I mean, he was found civily. liable of sex assault. Sickos, demonic. Maggami Johnson then says, and here's. the thing. He says the feast that took, he goes, what did he say? He says 2025. was the appetizer. Okay. 2026, that's when the feast and the banquet. happens. It's well, looking at my. calendar, it's uh we're about to be.

October. Okay, that means October, November, December. When when was the banquet? And by the. way, who even you as Treasury Secretary. Besson says, it will be the banquet. Who. even uses these words? How disconnected. We can mean the banquet. People aren't. looking for banquetss, okay? They're. looking for jobs that pay them with. dignity. They want to be able to afford. And they want to be able to get. through their day. That's what they want. to do. They want to be able to live.

productive lives. They want to feel. valued, that their life has meaning. They want to live healthy lives and. leave a better world for the next. generation. What is this banquet? I. mean, there's a bunch of freaking. weirdo. We're going to give you a. banquet. Just Just stay the hell out of. our lives, okay? Uh, use government as a. tool to help, not hurt and harm. And. that's about it. Don't send border. patrol to torture people and throw. little children in cages. We could think. that that's probably an important point. Um, did you see the story from CNN? I'm.

going to do a video on it with Harry. Litman later where they're making these. little children um go first off they. throw him in concentration camps here in. the Trump regime. But then they have him. go in these immigration courts without. lawyers and these Trump judges, not. federal judges, these immigration. administrative judges who a lot of them. were found like on X like they were. there were ads to be Trump. administrative law judges. The other. administrative law judges were purged. and they brought on all these like Trump. MAGA people. I kid you not, they bring.

in front of these Trump administrative. judges, like three-year-olds and. 5-year-olds, and they say, "Justify why. we shouldn't deport you to Honduras.". And the kids are like, they don't have. lawyers. And they're doing, I kid you. not, they're doing hearings with. three-year-olds without lawyers. And they're like now because people knew. where they are, they're now trying to. get secret office space. So these. hearings take place outside of the. presence of the media after this report.

And you have like kids crying. hysterically and the judges condemning. the kids to go back to areas alone where. they're probably going to get like in. serious like we haven't looked into. trafficking status. There's a reason why. we don't just take three year olds and. five year olds and send them back to. countries without their parents. These. kids can be they could be victims of. trafficking. They can be tra but the. Epstein class doesn't care about it. The. Epstein class are the perpetrators, right? They're they're the ones covering.

Why do you think they're covering up the. Epstein files? What do you think we. learn about Ken Paxton letting the guy. out the ped. after like no time in J? Why do you. think we always hear these stories? What. do you think is going on? Magga Mike Johnson over here. The feast. and the banquet. Here's what Maggamike. says. Let's play it. The feast and the. >> Okay, but here's the thing. The the. economy, all the economic conditions are. in place. As Scott Bessant said at the. end of last year, 2025 is like setting.

the table. The feast and the bankment. will be in the economy in 2026. And just. as we predicted, as we calibrated with. the big beautiful bill and all of our. policies, the biggest tax cut in US. history for working families, uh the the. biggest spending cut in US history, 1.6. trillion in the big beautiful bill. We. have uh the lowest violent crime rate in. 126 years, the biggest decline in. prescription drugs in 60 years. You've. got the most secure border in a half. century. Not a single illegal alien. released into the country in 16 straight. months. And and the small business. incentives that we put in, the progrowth.

policies we put into all the. legislation. All that was working just. as expected. First quarter, economy. begins to take off. Go roll the tape. We. were all talking about it. And then the. Iran conflict uh began. The Iran conflict, you mean the war. began in February. Okay, let's January, February. People are just the biggest Conor. That's like basically one month later. 2026 was going to be really good. But. then we invaded Venezuela and then we.

invaded Iran and uh then the rest of the. year. You mean the whole year? I would. the war started in February, you know, and and this is this is their. whole concept about Trump regime number. one. It was all going great and then. COVID hit and then it would have been. the best presidency but for COVID really. I mean you know but for you know uh you. know the you know but but for I try to.

think of an example of a of an athlete. who got injured early in their career. and never played again. It's like okay. well you're the president you're. supposed to deal with issues. You can't. just keep blaming things. But that's. what the Trump regime does. It's all. about blame, blame, blame, blame, blame. And this would have been a great year, but we got into the Yeah, it's a war of. choice. After you claimed you. obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. last year, Trump and Netanyahu to cover. up the child sex trafficking ring that.

is the Epstein files. You then invade. Iran. You slaughter little children all. over the place. Iran closes the straight. of Hormuz. Now you're pretending it's. open. But what do you think? So, it was. just it's forces beyond our control. I. mean, just the level of privilege also, right? I mean, you've got Donald Trump. like sleeping. I don't even show these. videos anymore. You saw it yesterday. Just sleeping in the oval, sleeping, you. know, just a freaking slob,

sleeping in in front of the cameras. And, you know, and and they exalt this. guy. Like I'm I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, "This is the creepiest, oddest, most pathetic, rotting piece of. I've ever seen in my life. Excuse. my language. I'm looking at the hell are. we watching here? The hell is going on. here?" And then you've got Kevin Hasset, Donald Trump's national economic. adviser, who right now his big message. heading into the midterms is that.

everything that went bad during Trump's. first term is Dr. Fouch's fault. Dr. Fouchy closed down everything. Not. Trump. It's Dr. Fouch's fault. Let's. blame Doc. And that's their message. going into the midterms. This is what. Kevin Hassid has to say here. Play this. clip. >> The the you remember because I was here. with you guys during that time that I. went into the White House and I was. helping manage the recovery from Fouchy. shutting everything down. And what we. did, you might recall, is we had four or.

five stimulus bills throughout the year. because Fouchy dug a hole. We wanted to. fill the hole but not do more than that. And so at the end of the year after a. minus 32% quarter, GDP for the year was. flat because we basically filled the. hole with just the right amount of. stuff. Uh but then what Biden did is he. took all that spending and he decided. not to spend it on other things even. though we didn't need it. >> Also, if you noticed on the I mean I. Biden is a whiny whiny loser. stupid. But if you looked on the left.

too, did you notice that the price of. Bitcoin continues to rise? And I find it. very notable that what was it about a. month and a half ago, all the Bitcoin AI. tech bros were also at the White House. And I think at the time Bitcoin was. around 67,000. uh at the time and now it's like 84,000. Did you did you see that? And you know. what do we think happened over there? Huh? The Bitcoin people, they showed up. and then all of a sudden it's 84,000.

Like we all realize the manipulations. happening in plain view right now. In. plain view, the Epstein class. demonstrates what predators they are. Sickening. It sickens me.

Welcome back to Ben on breaking news.

I'm Ben Myillis and this is your. breaking news. Earlier today, the Trump. regime rolled out America.gov. It's a. chatbot. uh where you can ask it questions when. you go to America.gov like when were the. highest diesel prices in history and. they'll say under Donald Trump. You. could ask it other questions about. whether Trump won the 2020 election and. he'll say and it'll say they won't. They'll ask you could ask America.gov if. anyone's been arrested in connection. with the Epstein files and they'll tell.

you that nobody has. And so America.gov. Everybody, that's Trump's own AI chatbot. for. um the America.gov website. Uh we also. learned a few other data points as I was. showing you earlier uh in this. uh yeah in this live all of the strikes. taking place in Ukraine. Ukraine strikes. in Russia right now. Things obviously. are escalating. Trump's envoy, John. Cole, is pushing a plan under which.

Russia, if it would release some. political prisoners, it would get eased. US sanctions, potentially opening the. way for trade deals with Moscow even. before the Ukraine war ends. Trump has. approved the initiative, modeled on a. similar approach with Bellarus. Bellarus, of course, an ally of Russia. And you may be saying, well, that's. interesting. Wasn't there a law that. just passed like the Lindsey Graham Act. that was supposed to put sanctions. against Russia? My dogs are asking the.

same question right now clearly and the. answer is there was. Both chambers, the. House and the Senate, passed the Lindsey. Graham Act. However, what it requires is. implementation. So there's a law, but. laws have to be faithfully executed. The. Constitution says that the president. will take care that laws are faithfully. executed. And Donald Trump never. actually acknowledges the take care. clause. So quite the opposite of. sanctions being imposed on Russia. It. requires Trump to impose them. And of.

course he's not going to impose them on. Russia and China or Bellarus. He's going. to do the opposite. That's why when. people report on this stuff, it's like, okay, they passed the act. Well, Trump. ain't going to actually do it. Okay? He's not going to take care that the. laws are faithfully executed. And then. what would we normally expect to happen. if you don't take care, if you violate. the law? And Trump's a criminal. So what. should happen? The DOJ should prosecute. him. There should be special counsels. appointed to investigate him. But when.

his own criminal defense attorney runs. the DOJ and our idiotic fascist Supreme. Court gives him absolute immunity and. you give a crook and a sex predator. absolute immunity. What do you think. they're going how you think they're. going to behave? That's what I mean. We. can't go back to the status quo after. all of this. You know, I think there's. going to be a massive blue wave. I think. Democrats will take control of the. Senate. And I think you'll see some. surprises in seats that people aren't. talking about. Kansas. I think we may be.

talking about South Carolina. I wouldn't. sleep on Florida even because we've seen. Democratic overperformance in these. states in specials. And we're seeing. awfully close races. And with these. close races, usually if the incumbent is. only is neck and neck, it's not a good. sign for them heading into a midterm. Then there's other seats where Democrats. are well ahead. So I think Democrats. take control of the Senate. I think. Democrats take control of the House. I. think there needs to be ruthless.

oversight. And I also think we can't. just go back to a status quo when we're. done with all of this because then. you'll just have a seessaw of whoever. the Democratic president becomes. then. you'll get like a Dantis or a Rubio or a. JD. Then they'll go back to this. Then. they'll go back. It's unsustainable. We. need to have people with bold visions. Frankly, like what we're seeing a lot in. New York City right now with Mayor Mom. Donnie. I know he's not eligible, but. what you're seeing there is a bold.

agenda being implemented with. communication about it every day about. what's happening, how the potholes are. being addressed, the tennis court cracks. are being addressed in the Bronx to the. bigger issues like universal prek and. child care and things like that as well. That's what we should be using. government for. A tool to help, not a. tool to inflict pain and suffering and. cruel and unusual punishment. And we. need the right kind of oversight. I.

mean, what you had the MAGA Republicans. today bringing Jack Smith in again to. the United States Senate. They prohibit. Jack Smith from talking about anything. regarding the Mara Lago criminal case. He's gagged. You know, they whine about. gag orders and which are always never. true about the MAGA Republicans. But. Jack Smith is quite literally gagged. based on Trump and Judge Eileen Cannon. and the MAGA Republicans in the Senate. If he mentions the Mara Lago case where. Trump stole classified documents like. nuclear records, even if Jack Smith.

talks about it, he can get criminally. prosecuted by the DOJ for violating gag. orders. How pathetic that the Jim. Jordans and the Blanches, they go on. State Regime Media Fox, they attack Jack. Smith, but they won't even allow him to. talk about it in a hearing. And then. they bring him here and they're like. they they called the hearing in the. Senate. This is what they're focused on, by the way, while the American people. are suffering about everything right. now. They bring Jack Smith again in. because they're trying to set some. perjury trap for him and they can't.

because he's not he's telling the truth. about everything. And then they go into. this line of inquiry with MAGA. Republican Senator Schmidt. Did you see. this? And he's like, "Isn't it true that. you were at the Atlanta game with Fawn. Willis? I've got a poster board here. that shows you were at the Hawks game in. Atlanta the night after the Fawn Willis. affair was discovered. Isn't that true?". And Jackson's like, "Um, I know I don't.

know what you're talking about. perjury. Perjury. And then it turns out, I did a. video on this before that Jack Smith was. at the Iowa Hawk Eyes game, the college. female basketball team with Caitlyn. Clark in Maryland. He wasn't at the. men's NBA team, Atlanta Hawks. He was at. the women's college basketball team, the. Iowa Hawkeyes. Very different teams. I. know the MAGA Republicans struggle with.

the difference between men's basketball. team and women's b the men's and women's. sports things. Never a strong suit for. the MAGA Republicans, but they try to. act like they caught him in some. perjury. I'm not going to show the. interview clip again because you saw it. It's a threeminute clip. The the I I did. a whole video on it unless you want me. to play. Just play a little bit. Jeremy, I'm not going to play the full thing. So, just play a little bit of it just so. I can remind people. I feel like I've. got to show the receipt even though I. did a video on it. It's possible you.

didn't see my last video. So, let me. just show it to you quickly. >> Did you go to an NBA game between the. Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta. Hawks on February 3rd, 2024? >> I'm sorry. Could you say that again? >> Did you go to an NBA game between the. Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta. Hawks on February 3rd, 2024? >> What city would that be in? >> Atlanta. >> No. Okay.

So, your testimony today is that you did. not go to a Hawks game on February 3rd, 2024. Is that correct? >> I have no recollection of that. >> Okay. Is it your testimony that you were. not in Atlanta on February 3rd, 2024? >> Let me let me just give you a little. context. The day before Fanny Willis. came clean with her affair with the. prosecutor, you know, the Atlanta. prosecutor that was also trying to get. Trump. the next day. Were you in. Atlanta? >> I do not believe so. >> Okay. Did you ever go to Atlanta during.

your time as special counsel? >> I I really don't think so. It's possible. I flew through the Atlanta airport on. the way to Florida, but I do not have a. recollection of going to Atlanta. I I. definitely did not go to a Hawks game. I'm sure of that. Did you ever meet. Nathan Wade or Fanny Willis in your t in. your time as special counsel? >> No. >> What would you say if I had a series of. text messages from your team that said.

you were in Atlanta at a Warrior Hawks. game on February 3rd, 2024, the day. after Willis and Wade announced their. affair? You I don't think you know that we have. this stuff. So, I'll give you a second. to process it so you don't, you know, purge it yourself. >> You just took it down really quick. If I. could look at that again. >> Okay. >> Mr. Chairman, can we give the witness a. copy so he can see what's being read to. him?

>> Well, I think you've already. sufficiently answer. I want to I want to. run through. >> We'll we'll we'll put it in a followup. You can respond. You've I think you've. already perjured yourself, but um did. you or your office can we see it? Can we. see it? Did you or your office seek This. is my time. Senator, if you want to use. your time to criticize my question, go. ahead. Ranking number. >> just very briefly. And this can if if. this is the correct. >> um um basketball game, I recall going to. a University of Maryland basketball game.

where Caitlyn Clark was playing uh right. around that time. Uh and the Marshall. Service was there with me. You could. check if that was the exact date. It was. Maryland playing Iowa. I think February. of 2024, but again, that's you could. check that out if that's what we're. talking about. >> University of Iowa. >> Is it the Hawkeyes? >> Yes. >> Could Could it then be that University. of Iowa is the Hawkeyes? Could that be. it? And maybe before we show this kind.

of thing. H. >> I know. But if he was at an Iowa game, is that correct? It it was because. Caitlyn Clark was coming to Maryland to. play and so we went to the game to. >> I think that might be the confusion over. the names of the team, but perhaps you. should have looked at it more carefully. >> This Whose questioning is this? By the. way, you are you using your time, Senator? Is this what this is? Are we. just Are we just having like an open. session here? >> Questions. I just I just. >> Well, I'm glad you're trying to. rehabilitate the witness, but it's not.

>> You are calling a witness a dirt. presented him with text messages about. him wanting to meet with people. >> that could have obviously been related. to the prosecution that was coordinated. with his office in Atlanta. >> I will I'm going to begin my questions. now, but I think that people should have. their facts straight before they accuse. someone of being a dirt bag and not get. the teams wrong. >> I stand by that statement. >> Teams, you had the teams wrong, sir. >> Senator, Mr. Chairman, >> as the floor go proceed with your.

questions. Thank you. From the state of. Minnesota where we have the Gophers, so. there's not a lot of confusion. There's. not a lot of professional teams with. those names. Mr. Chairman, many of us in. this room uh were here on January 6, one. of Yeah. And here's the thing, it's an. egregious error. It's malicious by that. MAGA Republican, Senator Schmidt. But. look, people make mistakes. You could, I'm sure him and his staff, you know,

looked at it and it's an egregious. error. It's defamatory. But you know. what a grown-ups do? This isn't like a. Republican. You know what you say in a. pre-Trump world? You know what you can. do? Hey man, I'm sorry. I screwed that. up. I made an accusation against you, which wasn't accurate. I thought that. the only game was a Hawks game in. Atlanta. There was a Hawkeyes game in. Maryland, Iowa College, female. basketball team. I'm sorry if I accused.

you like that. I'll I'll do better. It's. okay. I mean, you know, but it's not. when you double DOWN. NO, YOU ARE A dirt. bag. I think you were actually there. We're now talking not about politics. We're talking about shitty human beings, right? I mean, and and that to me is. part of the thing we miss. and that. we've missed with a pre-independent. media media toxic environment. They're. too busy talking about the horse race,

who's up, who's down, who's winning, instead of why we want to win, what's. the goal of winning? What what are the. principles and values underlying all of. this? And my biggest problem with Donald. Trump is not that his name is Donald. Trump. It's that he's a sex predator, that he's actually a felon based on what. he's done in the business records case, that he has bankrupted everything, and. that he is just a putrid human being who.

harms people his whole life. He's. dangerous and he's unserious as a human. being, as a leader. He's not a leader. He's a destroyer. And that is my main. issue. And by the way, if he stayed the. hell away from this country and from. people and he wanted to be a rotten. piece of living in Mara Lago in his. piece of Mara Lago, go do it. I. would I wouldn't give I wouldn't care.

You know, I'd probably be like, "Oh, that's a gross human." But now you've. taken that, you've hijacked public. service and you've turned the apparatus. of government against we the people and. all of those horrible things you've. inflicted on the people and now this. whole gang of other MAGA Republicans. behave like you in the same awful way. and you just treat people like crap and. you kill people and you hide and conceal. and defraud and you hurt people here and.

abroad and That's the issue that we need. to stop that. That's a nonpartisan. freaking issue, damn it. That's an. American issue. That's a global issue. Stop being like this. Stop behaving this. way. Stop hurting people. Stop. committing genocide. Stop covering up. the Epstein file. Stop inflicting such. pain and suffering. That's what this is. about. That again, I believe it's the. ultimate nonpartisan message. That's why. when people are like, "Oh, Ben, you're. super leftist or this." I'm like, you.

have to understand the terms that I. think about are how do we help people? How do we use government to help people? And if that aligns with more side more. than the other, so be it. And it. frequently does. But how do we help. people? And we shouldn't be hurting. people. It's very basic. Very basic. stuff. And stop doubling down in this. whole MAGA echo chamber. They're all. like, "Breaking news. Jack Smith. admitted that he was committing. perjury." No, he didn't. Stop it. Stop. with the disinformation. So, as they are.

a fountain and fire hose of disinfo, so. we must be a fire hose of the truth. And. that's what we will continue to do here. Everybody, get your copy of WTF America. Pre-order it right now.
