Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Trump's latest press conference?

0.149 - 24.671 Ben Meiselas

A truly bizarre and unhinged morning for Donald Trump, but what else is new with this Trump regime? Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office where he and his Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host, announced that they were going to be having a successor to the F-35 jet, which they were going to call, surprise, surprise, the F-47. So as they're gutting Medicaid,

25.131 - 44.704 Ben Meiselas

As they're calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, they say they're putting a lot of money into an F-47. But then Donald Trump started talking about his favorite topic, which is conquering Canada. He talked about how it was an artificial line that separates the United States and Canada, and he wants it, and he wants to take it now. Play this clip.

45.344 - 67.991 Donald Trump

very very close no there might be but uh it would you know you have that artificial line that goes that straight artifact that looked like it was drawn by a ruler somebody with a i don't mean a ruler like a king i mean like a ruler like a ruler this way and uh it's just an artificial line that was drawn in the sand or in the ice can i tell peter just

69.349 - 79.496 Donald Trump

You add that to this country, what a beautiful landmass, the most beautiful landmass anywhere in the world. And it was just cut off for whatever reason. It would be great. Now.

80.657 - 90.183 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump continues and says, look, no, no, I really mean it. I want Canada to become a state. I'm not joking. I want to take it over. Play this clip.

90.984 - 112.313 Donald Trump

Nobody knows that. They have up to 400%. They have a couple of tariffs at 4%. Hundred percent. Nobody knows that. Nobody talks about that. And remember with Canada, we don't need their cars. We don't need their lumber. We don't need their energy. We don't need anything from Canada. And yet it costs us $200 billion a year in subsidy to keep Canada afloat.

112.974 - 128.401 Donald Trump

So when I say they should be a state, I mean that. I really mean that. Because we can't be expected to carry a country that is right next to us on our border, it would be a great state. It would be a cherished state.

128.481 - 149.451 Ben Meiselas

Look, he couldn't be more clear about what he's saying. And as I've reported before, Canada's responding in kind. They are boycotting America. They are boycotting tourism, boycotting American products. And they are now doing military deals with Australia and Europe to start building up its defenses against Canada. The United States.

149.631 - 173.714 Ben Meiselas

I mean, it's a horrifying thing that I even have to say that, but that's what the Trump regime has done to the United States. Also, bizarrely, Donald Trump posted this this morning. He goes, I love King Charles. This sounds good to me. This is a real post from Donald Trump. This isn't AI. And he's posting an article saying, From the Sun, which says King Charles makes secret offer to Donald Trump.

Chapter 2: Why does Trump want to invade Canada?

429.671 - 451.677 Ben Meiselas

they could serve them in the prisons of el salvador which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions the trump regime is now making isis style videos where they're taking people who they call gang members because they fit the trump regime's view of what a gang member is and throwing them into concentration camps in El Salvador.

451.977 - 474.252 Ben Meiselas

We've heard stories, for example, a professional soccer player who fled the Maduro regime as political exiles, asylum seekers who were here, who was here lawfully. He had a Real Madrid tattoo and he had given a hand signal that meant peace and love. And the Trump regime took him from his family, sent him into a concentration camp in El Salvador.

474.532 - 496.58 Ben Meiselas

And who knows if he's even alive anymore or what's happened to him That is the state of the United States of America right now under the Trump regime. No wonder people like Charlie Angus in Canada and in the UK and Germany and elsewhere are issuing travel advisories for their citizens. Be careful if you go into the U.S. or we recommend you don't go to the U.S.

496.6 - 510.366 Ben Meiselas

You may end up in concentration camps in El Salvador. J.D. Vance was in the room during this bizarre press conference and he was asked what his thoughts were. And JD goes, ooh, planes, pretty cool. I like planes. Here, play this clip.

510.386 - 518.112 Donald Trump

That's the other thing. Energy is going to be like it's never been before. Mr. Vice President is here. Do you have anything to say while you're here?

518.373 - 526.439 J.D. Vance (quoted)

Very good, Vice President. I'm just here to watch the show, sir. I think airplanes are pretty cool, so I wanted to check this out. It is cool. Mr. President.

Are you looking for something simple and delicious to add to your wellness routine? I used to rely on regular honey for my breakfast tea and even salad dressings. But then I found Manicora, and let me tell you, it puts all other honey to shame. Manicora honey is rich, creamy, and the most delicious honey I've ever had. The best part?

543.37 - 562.572 Advertiser

It's ethically produced by master beekeepers in the remote forests of New Zealand. These bees collect nectar from the Manuka tea tree, which is packed with bioactives, giving Manicora three times more antioxidants and prebiotics than your average honey. Each morning, I start my day with a heaped teaspoon of Manicora, letting the creamy texture melt in my mouth and coat my throat.

562.812 - 584.172 Advertiser

And it's not just a treat, it's packed with powerful nutrients to support my immunity and gut health. And here's something that sets Manokora apart. It contains a special antibacterial compound called MGO, which comes from the Manuka tea tree. Manokora tests every harvest for MGO, and you can see the results yourself through their QR system. It's a honey with superpowers.
