Chapter 1: Why was Trump's Newsmax interview considered a disaster?

0.129 - 25.628 Ben Meiselas

What did I just watch? Look at Donald Trump here throughout this interview on Newsmax with Greg Kelly this evening. He looked like he was going to fall asleep the entire time. Sleepy Donald with his eyes closed as he spent most of the interview whining about the 2020 election and saying the 2020 election was rigged. Here, play this clip. Before

26.528 - 53.391 Donald Trump

And most people knew it before too. But you mentioned something today, Ashley Babbitt. I'm going to look into that because what happened to Ashley Babbitt is so sad. That whole story, that whole period of time. And what they did was so bad. There were so many forces at work that people are starting to find out about it. It was an evil period of time.

53.931 - 66.154 Ben Meiselas

And then a very lethargic, a very fatigued and sleepy Donald Trump said that he was saved by God to save the country. A demented man. Play this clip.

0

66.274 - 87.751 Donald Trump

I think, you know, somebody said that God saved me in order to save this country. This country was going down, Greg. If this election wasn't won, this country had no chance. This country is going to be, remember I used to say for years, we're going to be Venezuela on steroids. And that's what was happening to the country. And now we're turning it around. And I think we're turning it around fast.

88.621 - 114.276 Ben Meiselas

I said before, demented man, a demented thing. Here, Donald Trump talks about tariffs, and he says the deals that were made by my predecessors on these trade deals were so bad. Donald, the big trade deal with Canada and Mexico, the USMCA, it's your deal. It was your deal. Play this clip.

114.357 - 133.888 Donald Trump

But we've been ripped off as a country like nobody, like no country has ever been ripped off before. I read some of these deals that are made by my predecessors, and it's almost like saying, how could anybody allow this to happen? Like, as an example, who would allow men to play in women's sports?

134.528 - 159.256 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump and this host, Greg Kelly, walk around the Oval Office. And then Greg Kelly looks at portraits of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Ronald Reagan. And Greg Kelly's like, just look at all of these people. They're like you. They're like you. And then Donald's like, yeah, that's why I like you to interview you.

159.536 - 159.996 Unknown Speaker

And he falls asleep.

161.296 - 163.337 Ben Meiselas

Just watch this, play this clip.

Chapter 2: What did Trump say about Ashley Babbitt and the 2020 election?

430.57 - 431.67 Donald Trump

No, but I took care of them.

0

432.13 - 440.195 Unknown Speaker

I said I was going to, and I did. Is there any talk of, because they lost opportunity, they lost income, any kind of compensation fund?

0

440.235 - 461.117 Donald Trump

Well, there's talk about that. There are a lot of people talking about it. A lot of the people that are in government now talk about it because they... A lot of the people in government really liked that group of people. They were patriots as far as I was concerned. I talked about them a lot. They were treated very unfairly. The thing they show is they show a group of

0

463.579 - 485.19 Donald Trump

1,000, whatever it may have been, 1,500 people down. What they don't show, you never see the crowd that day. It was the biggest crowd I've ever spoken before. It went all the way to the Washington Monument. It was so wide, you virtually couldn't see anything else but people. They never show that. Whether it was a million people or less than a million, I don't know what it was.

0

485.29 - 497.595 Donald Trump

But, you know, I see Bernie Sanders has a few people out there. They say, oh, the crowd is so big. They don't talk about the crowds. But a group of people went down there peacefully and patriotically. Remember that.

Donald Trump then blames George Soros. for attacks on Tesla.

Chapter 3: How does Trump describe his role in saving the country?

872.97 - 874.812 Donald Trump

I'm going to take a look at it. I'm going to look at that too.

0

875.553 - 893.298 Ben Meiselas

By the way, here's Donald Trump celebrating the USMCA, his trade deal with Canada and Mexico that he now says is the worst deal. I just want to bring out the receipts. This is during the first Trump administration. The trade deal with Canada and Mexico is literally his deal. Play this clip.

0

894.439 - 931.447 Donald Trump

It's my great honor to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations on a brand new deal to terminate and replace NAFTA. and the NAFTA trade agreements with an incredible new US-Mexico-Canada agreement called USMCA. Sort of just works, MCA. USMCA. That'll be the name, I guess, that 99% of the time we'll be hearing, USMCA. Has a good ring to it.

0

931.467 - 955.444 Ben Meiselas

Yeah, Donald, so the person who made a stupid deal, stupid, that was you, Don. That was you who did it. I had the opportunity to interview- Former ambassador to the United Nations and former national security advisor Susan Rice. I asked her about the cell phone text message threads by these Trump officials where they were talking about their war plans.

0

955.864 - 984.362 Ben Meiselas

Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy to Russia, was in Moscow while all of this was taking place and he was on the thread. So I asked Ambassador Rice, so do the Russians have all our info now? And she's like, yep. If he's on that thread, he's using signal. They have it here. Play this clip. Donald Trump's special envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat.

984.742 - 1014.984 Ben Meiselas

The CIA director, John Ratcliffe, testified today that he wasn't even aware of today that wit cough was in moscow when i knew about it because it was a matter of public attention how dangerous is that do you believe the russians now have all of that information and potentially more what can you give us based on what what would you know about these things well

1016.978 - 1040.648 Judge Susan Crawford

unless, no, there's no, yes, the Russians have whatever Witkopf was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The way Witkoff should have handled this and the way this meeting should have been conducted is Witkoff should have gone into the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and gone into their secure compartment facility and conducted his participation by videoconference.

1041.328 - 1055.056 Judge Susan Crawford

That's how this whole thing should have happened. There should never have been a signal chat used as the vehicle for a discussion that involved anything sensitive regarding national security. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

1055.589 - 1067.378 Ben Meiselas
