Transcript of Breaking Afternoon Updates with Ben 10/27/2026

Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Myselis. This is our breaking news. Moments ago, exit polls in Israel show that Netanyahu's bloc is trailing the Gadi Eisenkot bloc, meaning it is possible that Netanyahu will no longer be the prime minister. It's a little more complicated than that in the Israeli parliamentary system. It looks like Eisenkot's bloc is going to get around 52 to 53 seats to Netanyahu's bloc at about 50. Then there's, uh, as it's often called, like an Arab bloc that will appear to have about 16 seats or so. So then there's going to be a bunch of kind of horse trading. Uh, there will be what's called a caretaker government, uh, that will be in place until a government can be formed. In the meantime, you have Gadi Eisenkot, who was the former IDF Chief of Staff. He said that this vote shows complete no confidence in Netanyahu and the October 7th government. And he said that this is a victory. Eisenkot is declaring a victory and says he will form a government right away. We will be keeping you updated. That's just preliminary, so I don't want to say I can call it.

Even if Eisenkot's bloc wins more seats than the Likud bloc, which is the Netanyahu bloc, there's still a lot of things that happen thereafter. And when there is this so-called caretaker government while a government's being formed in a parliamentary system, that's probably when Netanyahu will be most dangerous to want to invade Iran to create some national security crisis in order to stay entrenched in power. We're also learning about Flávio Bolsonaro apparently fleeing Brazil. Bolsonaro lost to President Lula. Uh, the Trump regime did everything they could to interfere with the Brazilian election. Trump and all of his MAGA oligarchs rigged the algorithms in Brazil. Lula responded by basically taking over WhatsApp with a people-powered social media movement. 10 million Lula supporters on WhatsApp getting out the message and coordinating these like viral moments throughout Brazil. and Brasília and São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and, and elsewhere. Um, what seems to have occurred— we need more details— is that Bolsonaro fled to Argentina, where you have another Trump stooge in Javier Milei, and then from Argentina fled to the United States, where he will be seeking asylum from the gangster mafia, traitorous, disgusting Epstein-class Trump regime. And so that is what we believe is happening.

Once Bolsonaro officially surfaces, probably in Miami, probably in Mar-a-Lago, we will, uh, make sure we report specifically what happens there. So obviously big developments, uh, throughout the world. Should also be noted that President Lula has said, I'm going to strongly enforce the law And there will be investigations into election interference by Bolsonaro's party and the Trump MAGA oligarchs. Lula saying that he will hold Meta accountable for their manipulation of the algorithms and any tech companies from the Musks to the Metas. These oligarchs have already crashed the Brazilian stock market, went down 20% or so in one day. As this is what the oligarchs do. They entrench their wealth and then they try to destroy, uh, if they don't get their way. Um, it's why we talk about in WTF America that the scope of this authoritarian movement is actually a globalist movement. You know how they always use globalists, globalists, globalists? Perhaps the problem with the pro-democracy movement was that it actually wasn't globalist and it was just rooted in elections and the idea that you would fight in an election and try to win an election with ideas, while what was really globalist, the authoritarian network was globalist to destroy elections and to rig elections and to force people to lose confidence in elections and to treat good faith and process and procedure as something that can be destroyed.

And by the way, that's what we were seeing all day in Israel. Voters were getting messages on their phones that said, last chance to prevent a left-wing Arab government, go out and vote. The Netanyahu regime apparently was sending these messages, having access to people's phones in Israel to try to manipulate the vote. Also throughout the day, you had Netanyahu saying it's rigged, the Muslim Brotherhood is rigging the election. You know, the same exact— these are the same tactics that occur globally, right? Javier Milei, Bolsonaro, Trump, Putin, they, they use the exact same tactics. And I could keep going on and on and on and on. Um, you know, you're seeing it in Spain with the far right-wing party there. You see it with Le Pen in France. You see it with the Reform Party in the UK and the AfD in Germany. I mean, these are It's part of a pattern and practice that is globalist. And Steve Bannon often talks about this. And, you know, he was instrumental in putting the pieces into place during the first Trump regime that kind of grew and percolated into, you know, what we're seeing now. And, you know, all these Trump MAGA figures have their hands over all of this.

And by the way, it's why when Zelensky was striking those data centers in Russia, those Yandex facilities and other data centers, It was having a massive impact on reducing the bots across the world that are then amplified by these MAGA stooges in the different countries. So we're gonna focus on— we'll talk more about that. Trump is in Corpus Christi in Texas right now. I'll show you in a moment what's going on there. In Moscow, they were hosting the gas exporter conference. So all of the big gas exporters showed up in Moscow. Iran received kind of a hero's welcome in Moscow, um, where you had, um, you had President Pozharsky of Iran showing up there and, uh, ensuring that, um, he would be able to— let's do this. Um, Jeremy, hang tight for one second while I get— I have someone in my front door, so let me just get it. No one's gonna get him. It's one of the things about being live. Play the clip in the meantime, Jeremy, and I'll go get Hold on one second. Back in action, everybody. You have that. Let's go. And one of the things I wanted to show what was going on there is you had Iran being greeted, you know, with this hero's welcome over there while you have Treasury Secretary Bessent talking about economic outcast and we're going to isolate Iran and make it, you know, impossible for Iran to survive.

They were greeted, you know, as though they were, you know, the main attraction over there. And so you saw it over there. Let's bring us to Corpus Christi, uh, right now. where Donald Trump is giving a very deranged speech right now. Kind of par for the course. I'll show you what he was doing. First, let's show you Trump glitching as he was referring to Talarico as Talafrico. Here, let's play this clip.

Talafrico will kill millions of Texas jobs. Ken Paxton— it can. I'll tell you what, Ken Paxton is, you know, we— they talk about him as a lawyer.

Now I'll show you Donald Trump talking about meat in his face. Here, play this clip over here.

Q, and he's trying to show, I love the meat. Ah, I love it. Look. And then you see, where is—

Yeah, I mean, so utterly embarrassing to have that guy. This is part of his, I guess, closing message over here. Donald Trump then talks about why he believes that he's healthier and a better golfer than Obama. I'll just show you. This is what he's obsessed about in Corpus Christi, Texas right now. Let's play it.

Because he was so good. And then he became a congressman. They asked, doctor, who is the healthiest? Because he presided over the lives of Barack Hussein Obama and Bush and Trump. And they asked him at a vicious, violent— those people back there. Who's the healthiest of the 3? He said, without question, the healthiest is President Donald J. Trump. And I loved it. And a much better golfer. And a much better golfer. That's true. I am a much— that I will agree to. But no, no, but you know, because Obama, every piece of lettuce he eats has to be perfect. And I don't— I'm not that choosy.

But yeah, what the hell is he even talking about? And look, as deeply concerning as these speeches, it's the people who are there. I mean, look, we know that Donald Trump is a lunatic. We know that he's a deranged psychopath, a sexual predator. As you know, the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Judiciary Committee just released a new 50-page report linking Donald Trump to additional accusations of rape and sexual assault, which Trump and the White House deny. A detailed 50-page report talking about Epstein's trafficking ring, talking about Donald Trump's connections with Epstein. And look, I mean, the fact that Donald Trump goes up there, talks about men's asses all the time and how attracted he is to different men, um, as he goes and talks about cognitive exams and claims inflation is, um, 1.7%, just like lies about— just lies about the numbers and says that it's okay that gas and diesel's high because we're all getting rich. I mean, and the people there aren't getting rich. I mean, it truly speaks to part of the, you know, bigger problem. And by the way, this isn't like a uniquely United States thing. I mean, the reality is, if you think about you know, the people in North Korea, if you think about the people who are voting for Bolsonaro in Brazil, if you think about, you know, just look internationally, um, if you think about the mindset of human beings, we're all human beings on this planet Earth.

And so there is a susceptibility to authoritarians. It's actually been the norm of human history what has not been the norm, what's been the kind of 18th century, maybe late 17th century, but, you know, into modernity, that was new throughout all of human history. You know, and I mean, I guess you can go back and talk a little bit about Athenian representative, you know, you know, you could go back a little bit in Greece and a little bit in Rome. I mean, you know, there are some examples here and there, but, you know, that devolved fairly quickly, and we could do a history lesson on that. But by and large, the point being Authoritarian strongmen, wannabe strongmen, deranged megalomaniac malignant narcissists. That usually was the norm throughout human history. And as I was— if you have a child, or if you have a daughter or a son, granddaughter, grandson, whatever, or just have seen a child holding their phone the first thing when they look at their phone and the first thing when they start to realize the messages kind of coming into them. And I think about sometimes my baby girl watching Miss Rachel.

And when I watch her watch Miss Rachel, you know, it's fascinating because my baby girl loves Elsa and she runs around and she's lively. And we went to a haunted Halloween thing last night where she was playing in the hay. But the moment that on her phone, you know, Miss Rachel shows in, it is, it's like hypnotic. And fortunately, I like Miss Rachel. I think Miss Rachel's great. And I think the learning lessons are helpful for young people and teaches them the alphabet and things. And so it's good. But that same reaction and the way the mind is attracted to it is, is a human reaction to algorithms and is a human reaction to scrolling on social media. And so, you know, when, when we're sometimes glued to an algorithm or when we're glued to whatever the preferred media is, it is, it is developing this type of deep connection, you know, in the brain. And people become very susceptible to this stuff. And literally alternative worlds can be created, and, and they are. Because what Trump and MAGA are running on right now is a fake reality where things are great and everyone's happy about the war and things are actually amazing.

Like, they're not actually addressing the fact that inflation is high. They're not addressing the fact that gas and diesel's at record highs, that there's a never-ending war, that there's no deal in sight in Iran, that there's really no deals anywhere, um, that Trump's tariffs against the world have been a complete and utter failure. You know, I mean, they're not running on anything that's like real. They run on this imaginary fake world where Trump has brought in $22 trillion into this country, which he hasn't, and there are all of these manufacturing plants going up and jobs are through the roof, which isn't true, that people are getting rich because gas and diesel are going high. which, which isn't true. And that things would just be so much worse right now if you ever elected a Democrat, that things would just be absolutely— the world would be destroyed. We'd be in all of these wars. Everything would fall. The things that are literally happening right now, they act like that isn't happening. And then they warn, you know, it'll be World War III, it'll be horrible. And that's when they go and they say, you know, When they say these horrific things about the transgender community, they're going to trans your child, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.

They're coming for this and then they're doing that. And then, and then they affirmatively create the problems. They are arsonists and then they blame the other side as doing it. And so, you know, if you are playing by the rules of a democracy where you're like honest debate, good faith and fair dealing. I'll argue, then you'll argue, and we'll deal with reality. And we all want a kumbaya. It's one country and we're just trying to grow and build this together. I mean, that, that was what we used to be. It's easy to exploit that as a weakness because you're speaking according to rules and structure and good faith. and honesty, and the other side's playing a whole different game. And they're just focused on bad faith and lying. And it doesn't matter to them that it even doesn't even resemble the truth. It doesn't matter. I mean, the entire MAGA Republican midterm pitch is alternative realities that aren't the existing reality. That's very dangerous and it's very devastating. And though as a brainwashing tool, it is an effective methodology. I mean, people wonder, how was it that in Nazi Germany you were able to achieve certain outcomes?

How could you have so many people be transfixed by, you know, a genocidal freaking maniac? Like, how is that even possible? And I think that increasingly it becomes, it becomes, you know, sadly clear that there is— that the authoritarian, that the person who behaves a certain way, if you're not aggressively checking it and calling it out, they can rise. And they can go unchecked. And it's why President Lula in Brazil has to move very quickly to hold accountability, to bring accountability. And that was one of Biden's failures. I mean, he will kumbaya, let's bring everybody together, you know, let's do a bipartisan immigration bill while Donald Trump was saying, don't you dare pass a bipartisan immigration bill that actually helps. Let's actually create the problem. I'll give you an example here. I mean, this is, uh, This is Donald Trump on Venezuela in the speech today. You know, let's make it the 51st state instead of a president. Let's have a— I mean, what are they even talking about here? I mean, this is his closing message before the midterms. Here, play this clip.

In Venezuela that nobody would have thought even possible just one year ago. And we're bringing out a lot of oil for ourselves, a lot. It will become a prosperous country and Who knows, maybe someday soon it will become a prosperous 51st state. That's possible. Let's make it. Let's make it the 51st state. And instead of a president, we'll have an election for a governor. How about that? You know, they have a lot of oil. They have a lot of oil under— you know how you find oil in Venezuela? Harold Hamm is here, the great oilman. Where's Harold? I'm here.

Yeah, the oil in Venezuela does not go into our strategic petroleum reserves. It's viscous, it's sour, it's very hard to drill for, it's very difficult to refine. It would cost tens of billions of dollars. They're not sending us all of this oil. If they were, if there was a glut of oil, oil prices would be dropping dramatically. That's not what's taking place. And we just have to have an honest discussion. They don't want to have an honest discussion. His solution is just to make up something. The boat is on its way. It's coming. It'll be here very soon. A million barrels. It's going to be hitting right here. If we're under your theory, if we're drill baby drilling and everything, they're so great, why would you need a million barrels of Venezuelan oil if the Strait of Hormuz is open and you're getting Venezuelan oil? Why isn't the gas prices $1.99? Why isn't it $1.50 if this is really happening? It's, it's, it's not happening. If you brought in $22 trillion, then why did the debt go over $40 trillion? They don't want to have any honest debate. Instead, what they want to do is, oh, what do you think about men and women's sports?

Will you denounce an ad that you didn't put up? Will you denounce it? Denounce it or will you not denounce it? You're not denouncing it? Oh, then you're for it. You must be a vegan. Are you a vegan? Are you a vegan? This is what they do. I mean, and, you know, just— you saw the psyop with former President Obama where former President Obama said the Oval Office looks like Saddam Hussein's palace meets a Cheesecake Factory. That's what Obama said, because that's what it looks like. If you've been in a Cheesecake Factory, And you've seen Saddam Hussein's palace. That's precisely what Trump's Oval Office, our Oval Office, that he defamed— he pissed on it. Looks like piss. Um, when you combine those 2 aesthetics— by the way, Cheesecake Factory aesthetic is fine in and of itself if you're into that, but that's why it's the Cheesecake Factory. That's why it's the Cheesecake Factory. Um, you can go there and eat. with your family if that's what you want to do. If you want to have that type of meal, great, but that shouldn't be the Oval Office. The point is, why are you making the Oval Office look like that?

Not that Cheesecake Factories are bad, but these MAGAs, oh, you're so out of touch. You hate Cheesecake Factories? How could you be American? Do you hate Cheesecake Factories? So we're not dealing with people who want to have— we have to recognize, and all the MAGA folks get very angry when they hear me say this, but it's true. They're demonic and they support demonic people. Um, and if they support demonic people, if you're still supporting Trump right now, I think that's— here's— I think that's really bad right now because you're cut— you're supporting someone who covers up a child sex trafficking ring. I don't know what other word to describe it. They're brazenly covering up child sex trafficking in front of our faces. It's broke. So if you're for that, what do you want me to say to you? You're, you're good? You're cool? That's— you're with that at this point because you think that that's acceptable behavior. So that's why I say that. Let me be clear, I don't just want to use words. Um, if you're okay with slaughtering little children in Manab and Lemaire and then covering up the slaughter of the little children.

That's what I've— that's why I define that. That's— you come up with a better word. Maybe I'm being imprecise with my language, but I don't know. That's a demonic conduct to slaughter little children and then cover it up and then hide when we know that that happened. If you support genocide, to me that's demonic behavior. It just is. And when you go around and you lie about everything and say that there's, you know, 1% inflation or 1.7% when that's not true and people are suffering, and you say that it's great, everybody's getting rich. Everybody's, everybody's doing amazing, you know. That's great. Uh, Jeremy, you could just show a little clip of what they're doing. I mean, this is— I mean, just think, with everything going on in this country right now, this is what they're showing on— this is what they're running on loop in the White House account. This weird AI slop of Donald Trump in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This is what they're doing while the American people are, are suffering and, and struggling. It's ridiculous. That's right. And, and, and he's out there talking about men's asses on the campaign trail.

It's strange. That's very strange behavior. Oh guys, guess what? Uh, WTF America is number 3 on the audio charts. That's pretty cool. Um, after the first week, number 3 on the audio chart. Let me try to get that to number 1. Um, the hardcover and the ebook is out as well. This is the book that Elon Musk is trying to suppress and doesn't want you to see. If you're on X, which I don't recommend you have to be on anymore. Musk has put an adult advisory warning when people post the COVID of the book. There's all this content on X which is just grotesque, but our cover gets an adult warning. Interesting, interesting. All right, when we come back, I want to talk about the latest updates, um, internationally as well. I'll get you some updates on what's happening in the Israeli elections, what's going on in Brazil, talk about the meeting that took place in Iran between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, um, and Iran. What— and then the president of Iran then went to Russia for this gas export convo where he was greeted as a hero. We'll show you what went down in the United Nations today where you had, uh, Mike Waltz, the ambassador of the United States to the United Nations, like screaming at the Um, ambassadors from Cuba.

Welcome back to Ben on Breaking News, with an occasional bark here or there by my very cute dog. Great to be with everybody. Um, let's talk about some more breaking news, and this was an important video that we put out earlier today. We were following the developments in the United Nations where there's currently a non-binding resolution to condemn the United States blockade or embargo around Cuba, which is currently starving the Cuban population, preventing medicine and oil and medical supplies and other critical supplies from getting to Cuba. Now, whatever your view about the Cuban government or regime, whatever your view about the Iranian government and regime, can we all agree that attacking civilian populations is wrong? Can we agree that that is not the way that we should desire to win hearts and minds if that's ultimately the goal? How do you even expect to do regime change if that's your goal? Which, let me be clear, I don't think that should be the goal at all. I think that countries should have their sovereignty. But let's just even assume that was your goal. This is the behavior of the Epstein class. This is the behavior of sex predators.

like Donald Trump and the whole regime that Trump surrounds himself with. This idea that torturing people and inflicting pain upon people will make them love you and make them want you to lead them is sick and deranged, and it is demented. And Donald Trump and his disgusting regime of traitors They don't know how to handle it when other countries stand up and say no, no. They don't know how. They don't know that. They're not used to that, these sick predators. No. And so they keep on torturing the civilian population in Cuba. Who do you— and you think that's gonna say, oh yes, we want the genocidal maniacs in the Trump regime? Rule us, rule us. The Trump regime's blockade on Iran and putting the aircraft carriers there, it's directed at civilians. I'll show you in a little bit what Treasury Secretary Bessin says. He says it's against civilians. He's like, don't pay your taxes and you better stock up on goods because it's going to be a rough— it's going to be a rough one for you. Yeah, the Trump regime is a bunch of war criminals. Now, I've said before Anybody running for the Democratic ticket for the presidency should be disqualified unless they promise that on day one they will turn over Trump, Besant, Rubio, Hegseth, Vance, and all the other enablers to The Hague for war crimes prosecutions.

If I were to host a debate, which I hope I do, it's going to be one of the first questions that get asked. Would you hand over Donald Trump and Hegseth and the accomplices to a war crimes tribunal for war prosecution, for war crime prosecutions? If the answer is, well, I think— next. We need to be that clear. I think there needs to be that level of moral clarity because this is not an election. Where we're gonna want people who go, well, you're not— Also on day 1, what we need to see is the Golden Ballroom blown up. I want it blown up on live TV. I want— if there's an arch, I want the arch blown up on live TV. I want all of that streamed. We could do it in half-hour blocks, hour blocks. Um, I want it all blown up, obviously in a safe manner, um, in a secure manner, obviously. I want it to be very, very safe, um, but it needs to be blown up and extravagantly while we all celebrate. That needs to happen. So if you get asked about, you know, and I'm like, you know, that, um that Trump Walk of Fame or whatever where he mocks all the presidents, you know, like in between the White House.

Like, I would like to see, um, I don't know, people the Trump regime, uh, prosecuted and attacked. I don't know, maybe go there with like, uh, like a broom or like a, like a Canadian hockey stick and just Seriously, that's what I'd actually would like to see on day one, some variation of that. We can't have these symbols of authoritarianism. They need to go down immediately. War crimes prosecutions have to happen immediately on day one. It's my view. You can disagree with it. Take a look at what's going on in the United Nations. So same day right now where It appears that Flávio Bolsonaro has fled from Brazil to avoid prosecution there for all of the corruption he's engaged in, in election interference, conspiring with the Trump regime. Went to Argentina, Trump stooge there, Javier Milei, and then seems he's heading to Miami, to the United States, for asylum. Sick. What a sick, demented, twisted regime we have here in the United States. Sick, demented, twisted demons. That's where he's— that's where he's at. Then at the United Nations, you have Mike Waltz attacking Cuba in such a bizarre, juvenile way. Look, as I said, if in the United Nations, if you want to make an argument about Cuba, about Iran, about Yemen, about whatever.

There's a way to do it in a professional and responsible way, to voice disagreements in a multilateral system. But what Walt started doing was he started holding up photos of Fidel Castro wearing a Rolex and then showing Castro real estate-like holdings, which weren't all that big, you know, but, but okay. And they said, look, he's wearing a Rolex. To the Cuban people, rise up, rise up! He's wearing a Rolex, Fidel. And their new leader wearing a Rolex also. Um, Jared Kushner Ivanka Trump, Don Jr., Donald Trump, all of the stuff. Eric, this whole Trump— I mean, this whole Trump regime, you, you, you, you are turning— you've turned the White House into some golden bordello. You, you have the Mar-a-Lago class that you're— the Trump regime runs the Epstein class, and you're— you think that you have An iota of moral authority to start holding up photos of Fidel Castro in the UN wearing a robe.

Reagan's warning about corrupt Cuban elites still holds true, and it started many decades ago. Let's start with Castro's 2 Rolexes that he proudly wore. You're looking at the great revolutionary. What's on his wrist? 2 Rolexes worth $40,000 in today's money. According to the regime's own statistics, that would pay for 55 years Of an average Cuban wage. It didn't just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban president, also with a Rolex on. Why settle for mansions by the sea when you can have your own private island? That's right. The Castro family has their own private island. Cayo Piedra. Again, you can find this if you simply look for it. Look beyond your talking points. Take a look at this place. Private marina, a yacht, a floating restaurant, lavish guest accommodations, a swimming pool, even, even a lagoon for pet dolphins. It's right there on the other side of Cuba, on the south side of Cuba. They have another island, by the way, with exotic animals. It's not just watches, colleagues. It's also a vast real estate empire. Let's, let's take a look here. This is Nave Pilar, the Castro family's exclusive seaside retreat in Varadero.

You can look this up. You can find this online. It's quite nice. It has 14,000 square meters of property Swimming pools, marble floors, a private dock, a gym, a sauna, jacuzzis. Let's keep going. This is the Castro family compound. This one has 6 bedrooms, a 20-meter swimming pool, custom woodwork. Hear this, for those who care about the environment, made from cedar imported from the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.

Go back to the delegation.

And I'm the representative of the United States of America. Back up.

Okay.

Back up, Ambassador. Back away.

And who you're dealing

with. This is America. Back up. The rule is clear. This is the substance of the speech. There are no procedural— you can bring the meeting suspended. Please sit down. Sit down.

When I resume, when I resume the meeting, I listen to everybody. You see, I'm here to administer the rules of procedure in a fair manner, in an independent—

Yo tengo que seguir el reglamento de una manera justa. Por favor, vuelva a su asiento. Le pido respetuosamente a todos que permita que el orador concluya su intervención, pero si no quiere hacer eso, si insiste, se lo voy a permitir.

Today, 2 figures are staring us in the face. One is 64 years, the other is 34 years. The United States' illegal economic blockade and unilateral economic sanctions against Cuba have persisted for 64 long years and are still being intensified to this day. And for 34 long years, the UN General Assembly has been deliberating on the resolution, necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the US against Cuba. 34 years on, it remains unimplemented. The 2 historical periods and processes bear witness to the profound suffering endured by the Cuban nation and its people, as well as their indomitable resistance. They also document the United States' hegemonic acts and bullying, which violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and trample upon the international order and the basic norms governing international relations. For 33 consecutive years, this resolution has been adopted by an overwhelming majority, an eloquent testament To the conscience of humanity and the power of justice, China has always stood on the right side of history, on the side of the common values of humanity, and on the side of fairness and justice. Today, standing at this august podium of the UN, China once again strongly urges the United States to immediately cease its blockade, blockade, and pressurization against Cuba.

There is no reason whatsoever for the 64-year illegal. Unilateral sanctions to continue and no reason whatsoever for the 34-year-long call for justice to be put aside again. The resolution, necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the US against Cuba, should be implemented without delay. Maintaining the position outlined above, China will once again solemnly cast its vote in favor of the draft resolution submitted by Cuba under the agenda item, necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the US There is more to 64 years and 34 years than just numbers. They tell a story of historical profundity and a cautionary tale that is deeply sobering. Over the past 100 years, the world has gone through the brutalities and agonies of both hot wars and cold wars. The arc of humanity that bends towards self-awakening and positive progress has led the world Out of war and confrontation towards peace and cooperation. Today, multipolarization and economic globalization are a trend that is here to stay. Humanity is so intertwined that it's impossible to separate one from the other. The vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind is gaining traction and widely subscribed to by nations.

The international community should continue to work for the positive and for good. Stand united. Support Cuba's Just struggle to safeguard national dignity and sovereign equality, support the common development of all countries, and advance human progress. In this vein, in this vein, we wish to make a sincere appeal for the following actions. First, act now to uphold sovereign equality and oppose external interference. All countries, regardless of size, wealth, or strength, are equal members of the international community. Every country is entitled—

The live gods are not favoring me today, hey? I mean, I wanted to show you that though, because what you saw there at the United Nations, is China stepping in and being the adult in the room talking about multilateralism and how we shouldn't encroach on sovereignty. And by the way, while Donald Trump's out there praising Xi Jinping and China, China's out there very— like, just think about it this way, right? What does China say? Donald, you can't even mention Taiwan around us. And so what does Donald Trump do? Won't even mention Taiwan in the presence of Xi or anywhere publicly, right? But at the same time, you have China's ambassador to the United Nations just out there calling out the Trump regime for an unlawful and illegal embargo over there, about the Trump sanctions against Iran, and you have China filling the void. What's important for us to realize too with all of these developments happening in the Middle East that I've been talking about is while Donald Trump's giving speeches talking about men's asses and all the cognitive exams and physicals. The adults are working on a complex structure that removes the United States, which is basically already out, and moves in China and Russia as guarantors for new security and regional arrangements in the Middle East.

That's why earlier this week we saw a meeting hosted in Tehran where you had Iran's President Pashinyan, Mohsen Raisi, who's the top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini, Foreign Minister Araghchi. And who else was there? You had Saudi Arabia's defense minister, you had Pakistan's leader, Field Marshal Asim Munir, you had Turkey's top intelligence officer. They were all there in Tehran. Then President Pazhetsky, and where did he go next? He went to Moscow, where he was there today as part of the gas exporters conference. Again, he was given a hero's welcome in Moscow. He had direct conversations with Putin. You had the Iranian delegation and you had the Russian delegation. Then you had one of the top nuclear and energy companies in Russia announce that it was making more investments in Iran's nuclear, civilian nuclear facilities all throughout Iran, not just the Bushehr facility. So there was actual tangible results coming out of that meeting. Iran was also talking about how its gas exports and gas production has actually been the highest it's ever been. And you have Iran being greeted warmly by the leader of Qatar, Al Thani, and others, because the world recognizes that the Trump regime's unpredictability, instability, chaos, unseriousness, and predatory behavior is just something and someone you can't do deals with.

You can't interact with it. The United States has become a deeply unserious and dangerous actor in the world, probably the most unserious and most dangerous in the world right now, just based on Donald Trump's waking up and whatever the whims are that becomes, you know, the erratic actions of what was once a superpower but is no longer. I mean, those days are beyond gone. And meanwhile, you have the military bases in the Middle East completely obliterated, and you have, uh, the United States out of weapons, out of interceptors, out of, uh, offensive capabilities, while Donald Trump is just out there giving deranged speeches. Oh, I beat the shit out of them. I beat them. I killed so many of the leaders. We don't even know who the leaders are. Or you have Treasury Secretary Bessent, you know, saying they're hiding in the sewers. They're hiding in the sewers. They're not hiding in the sewers. They are there. We see them. We see them very clearly. We see them in Moscow. We see them in Tehran. I can tell you who they are because with all of the lies and propaganda that comes from this despicable and disgusting Trump regime, Yeah, keep that graphic on there for a moment.

With all the lies that come out of this Trump regime, we have to know the truth. We have to know who the players are because the Trump regime wants to pretend that Iran has no weapons. Iran did a military test this past week where they launched as a test 100 ballistic missiles as a test. That's not a country that's depleted their missile stock where they've launched 100 test missiles. This past week. No, if the Trump regime and Netanyahu regime engage in a catastrophic escalation, Iran has the weapons, it has the capability to strike back hard, and it'll be a different regional situation where the Trump regime may not have the same support from Saudi Arabia, from the various kingdoms that he thought he once had, from Turkey, and, and, and from others right there. And so we're going to keep following too what's going on in Israel right now, where at least the early exit polls show that the Likud-Netanyahu group or bloc seems to have not, you know, seems to have lost. I mean, it's a more complicated system than that. You have Gadi Eisenkot runs one bloc. That's the main opposition party. They seem to have gotten— I'm going to double-check this quickly— about 53 seats to the Likud bloc's 50 seats.

And then there's another bloc representing some more of the Arab groups that seem to have gotten 16 seats. And so Gadi Eisenkot saying Netanyahu's out, I'm forming a government right now. In parliamentary systems, you elect a party and then they have different blocs that have to form a coalition. And then the coalition leader becomes the prime minister. So there's a lot of horse trading. So it's not just like— it's not just like the Brazil election where someone runs for president or in the United States. It's a parliamentary system. So that's why it's a little bit more complicated. So we're going to be focusing on there. I gave you the update in the Middle East. I gave you the update in the United Nations. Let's take our last quick break of the show. I still got a lot to discuss when we come back. Hopefully, you know, there'll be less knocking on the doors and the, and the internet falling off or whatever. This is— but you know what, I get to spend time with you. This is live TV. I got the WTF America right here. A lot of noises in the background. That's it.

That's what we do on live TV. That's how we do it at Midas Touch. Let's, let's take our last quick break of the show.

Welcome back to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Meiselis, and this is your breaking news. And so indeed, the State Department is now confirming that it will be providing visas and protection to the Bolsonaros. That was confirmed moments ago. Associated Press writes, State Department says the U.S. will grant visas to Bolsonaro and his family. The latest updates in the Israeli exit polls, as I described before, the opposition party, Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar, Block, about 52 to 53 seats. Netanyahu's bloc, 50 seats. Arab-led parties are projected to win a record 17 to 18 seats. So the question is, will Gadi Eisenkot be able to move quickly, consolidate power sharing with the Arab-led parties, have a majority, and then become the next prime minister? And then how will a very weakened Netanyahu— this is clearly a no-confidence vote against Netanyahu— how will he respond to this? And one of the things that I think we all expect are more false flags, the desire and the will, and perhaps we will see what happens very shortly, the execution of a catastrophic escalation in Iran with Donald Trump. Remember, the Trump regime is trying to do anything they can to derail these midterms where the Trump regime is trailing, um, or the Trump regime's MAGA Republicans in the House and Senate, um, are trailing big in all of the polls.

Um, right now it's projected Democrats will take the Senate, projected Democrats will take the House. It seems like it's very high odds, of course, of the House. The Senate looks increasingly likely. But as Donald Trump goes on this deranged loser tour from state to state talking about men's asses and all of this hateful racist crap— and look, he's got his cult. People show up to these things. They're smaller crowds, significantly smaller. But, you know, there's 25 to 31% of the country now that loves this. They, they're enamored by this. Uh, hard to again understand it, but this is what they want. This is, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's beyond even trying to reach out to them or offer a hand. This is what they want. They want to live in this kind of bizarro, grotesque covering up Epstein files world. OK, that's, that's, that's for you. While Donald Trump clearly views you as his mark, nothing, nothing I can do there. But, you know, we were hearing stories today about the Federal Elections Commission saying that they were hacked today and that they were dealing with the hack and You know, I expect as every single day from here on out, the Trump regime to engage in, you know, unprecedented interference, unprecedented criminality to try to derail the midterms.

Yeah, a purported hacker attempting to breach the U.S. Federal Election Commission systems, and that agency has had to temporarily shut down its web-facing services as a result. According to an email seen by Reuters. And so we're going to be seeing, you know, a lot more, a lot more of that. Donald Trump was asked when he was heading to Corpus Christi, will you respect the election results whatever happens? And Donald Trump's response is, well, you know, if I think they're honest. If I determine they're honest. And he's already said that he says that they're rigged, so of course he's not going to accept the results. So it's more important than ever that we stick together, because what Donald Trump's about to unleash on the midterms is something that we've never seen in American history. I think it will further weaken and degrade this regime, but we're about to see some real sick, even, even more sick and demented behavior. Here's what he says though about when he was asked, you'll respect the election results here. Let's Let's play that clip if we've got it. And you'll respect the results whatever happens?

I will if they're honest elections. Mr. President, earlier this month you said you were worried.

And then on the same tarmac, Donald Trump said that we took over Venezuela very successfully and that Venezuela gave him a gift. He says he said he got a gift from Venezuela. Here, let's play this clip.

Yeah, are you going to visit this tanker that's got Venezuela?

I believe we are. Yeah. We took over Venezuela very successfully. And they've sent me as a gift, a boatload of a million barrels of oil. And I'm giving that to the United States of America. Rubio is going to be— I think so. Yes. I believe.

I mean, what a traitorous piece of shit. Really, what a traitorous piece of shit. He is. They gave me a million barrels of— you? They gave you a million? Who the fuck are you? They gave— excuse my language— they gave you a million barrels of oil? The hell? You took over another country, stripped them of their sovereignty. And say that they gave you gifts of oil and that you may give it as a gift to the American people. That's why I said if you support that behavior, if you support that, what you just saw there, there's no saving you. There really isn't. There really isn't. And for— and excuse my language for cursing because I really don't like it. But as I watch this behavior of these sickos who cover up child sex trafficking and plunder and loot other people's land and then said, I took their oil for me. And then we the people are like, oh, is he giving us a gift? Is he giving us a gift of— is he giving us a gift of oil? Oh, this is not— this is not what our system is supposed to be. So don't report about this as though this is some gamified who's up and who's down, because if you're with that, you're a traitor.

You are a traitor to this country. You are engaged in treason and you are a scumbag if you support that. Seriously, this isn't, oh, the Democrats are up and the Republicans are up. No. What the hell is this behavior? The guy running around saying a bunch of racist filth in all of these states while again weirdly talking about asses all of the time and physicals and exams that he's, that he's getting. It's gross. It's freaking gross and disgusting and it's belittling. It was Dr. Bandy Lee who says that we have We have nation batter— battered nation syndrome is what she calls it. Battered nation syndrome. It's because we have someone so sick, someone so evil, someone so deranged and demented, and then the efforts by structures and institutions to try to normalize the behavior that it literally inflicts a battered nation syndrome on everybody because you're trying to filter this disgusting, filthy, gross behavior through regular language and through regular political prisms. And it leads to just a nationwide trauma. And we need to end it and we need to go out there on these midterms and we need to ensure that there is accountability and we are here.

standing together shoulder to shoulder right now to fight for this country, to fight for democracy. And remember, one of the things I want to make clear, and I talk about it in WTF America because it's so dang important, that this is all connected internationally, right? The ability of President Lula to prevail has certain things to do as well with the fact that the Russian bots in the Yandex facilities were knocked down. And then Fernando Ceramido, Trump's guy in Latin America, was then arrested for trying to kill his partner, allegedly trying to kill his partner in an act of femicide. So he's in prison in Bolivia. And so their ability to rig the algorithms was a little bit hampered. While then Lula had to counter it by going directly to WhatsApp with a 10 million real person army. to overcome the actual algorithms. Like, this is an international thing. It's why Bolsonaro swoop goes right to Argentina, Javier Milei, a Trump stooge, and then swoop right back to the demonic Trump regime. It's why we hear every day more about the Trump regime not just wanting to do a diesel deal with Russia, but uranium deals, to do data center deals, to do gas deals, to do all of these things.

And by the way, they're already freaking happening secretly. Who do you think is really involved and who's a lot of the money behind the Alejandro Benta Court Venezuela deal where all of the investors are anonymous and shrouded in mystery? What do you think? It's about Trump making money, about America's interests. You don't, you don't think that there are interests from Russia involved in that? They're already in Alaska. They are already basically taking over Alaska right now. And that's not hyperbolic. The main LNG facility just saw mass resignations amongst its top executives in Alaska when the top executives realized that the freaking Abu Dhabi strawman investors were actually getting their money from the Russians. So all of the top executives at this, at this company that was basically the American front for this operation, which was really Russian through Abu Dhabi investors, was these executives were like, oh shit, we can't be a part of this once they discovered, and they all resigned. Do you see what's happening? He's selling off our nation as the Epstein class feasts and they don't give a shit about you. They hate you. That's the point. And then you have these little zombified humans who go out to these increasingly smaller events like, oh, did Shamu eat the— what is— what does Shamu eat?

Did Shamu eat a piece of fish? What is— what does Shamu eat, Jeremy? Does Shamu eat fish? Shamu eats fish. Did Shamu— Shamu's a Shamu. Did Shamu eat fish? What do you know? Yay! Oh, you did a physical, Don? But when they create that chaos, they're looting from you. They're pillaging from you. They're taking from you. It's in plain view, actually, if we just open up our eyes and see it, that this is all connected. When they talked about globalists, the real problem was actually that the pro-democracy forces were not globalists. They were so focused on individual elections and that there would just be good faith and fair dealing in debates and elections would be won on ideas that there actually wasn't a globalist perspective of democracy. There was a globalist perspective of authoritarianism where all of this is connected from the Reform Party to the AfD to Le Pen's party to Javier Milei To Bukele in El Salvador, to the Bolsonaros in Brazil, to the Trump stooges in Bolivia. You look across the world. This is a network, a globalist authoritarian network that also happens to be not just adjacent to, but inextricably intertwined with the Epstein files and the Epstein class.

It's all freaking related, and it's all in front of our eyes. And so when we think about democracy in terms of an election cycle 90 days out, it's like bringing a butter knife to a nuclear fight, pun intended, because the authoritarians are actually armed with this globalist structure, with the oligarchs' control over the algorithms. They've thought in systems generationally because authoritarianism has been the way for most of human history. And this idea of we the people is relatively new enlightened and post-enlightened thinking that basically got too boring and people took it for granted. And this is the way it was going to be. So these globalist authoritarians who historically dominated They've reared their heads while there is way more information out there than ever before. Paradoxically, there's less because it's been tainted and poisoned by the oligarchs through their algorithms, through their disinformation chambers. And the only way to fight it is to also think generationally, internationally, and to create a firehose of truth to fight back against the firehose of disinformation and lies. That's how we have to think about these things. And if we don't, then we will be ignorant at our own peril.

Elections are critical. What's about to take place this next week here in the United States is not just critical, it is freaking existential. But when that election is over, actually, that's when we have to start building more robust structures And be here for each other, not just 90 days out from an election. Because I'm sure you see it too. All of a sudden, all these people swoop in 90 days, right? All these people who, like strangers, you know, who are these political consultants, and they want to tell you the candidate needs to look like this, and this is this. Will you denounce this statement? Will you denounce this ad? Will you denounce this person? Will you denounce that person? Or what do you think about this? Or what do you think about that? Or what do you think about sports? And what do you think about— it's like they're gonna come in and they're gonna be bad faith actors. But you see, if we have the structures, if we've been there for each other every damn day, day in, day out, not for an election but for humanity, because we're people, but because we want others to live in a great world, then that's how we're gonna win.

Not just an election, That's how we're going to win, to secure better futures with decency and empathy and love so we can just get by in a much better way than all of this MAGA toxic freaking filth weirdo stuff where they're just angry and nasty and deranged and cover up freaking child sex trafficking. All right, that's what I got for today. Did you get your copy of WTF America? Go get your copy, the hardcover, the ebook. The audio is just number 3 on Audible's list. But get the hardcover, get the hardcover and the ebook if you, if you can. What would you— let me read some of the comments. Did you all read the— did you read the book? Did anybody read— like, I really— and my brothers, like, we really lay it out. You know, I, you know, I'm not like trying— I go over the global network, I trace its origins. We give very specific— like, it's very— it's a very detailed and specific roadmap. And yeah, and I talk about systems and structures because that's what we actually have to build. And then that's— no one talks about that stuff enough. And that's the legacy that I would like to have here.

You know, and people like, oh, are you going to run for political office? I don't want to run for political office. There are people who could do that. I don't want— why would I want to do that? I, I, I, I love this network. I love growing this network. I love working with the Katie Fangs and the Scott McFarlands and the Michael Popocks and the Anthony Davises and the Dina Dahls and the, and the Aaron Parnasses and the whole editorial team and, and the Tennessee Brandos and You know, and everybody who's associated with this, you know, with this network. And I could go on and name everyone. This is what I love to do. But we have to think in systems and structures, and we have to develop the future generations. We have to be a place where people who are feeling suppressed at corporate news can have their voice heard. Right? That's, that's what we have to do. And so I'm thinking, I'm thinking not just about next Tuesday's election. I'm thinking 20 years. I'm thinking 30 years. I'm thinking 50 years, what that could look like. And, you know, I think about, I think about the, um, the pumpkin patch that I was at last night with, with my baby girl Ximena.

And I, I saw her running around, you know, in, in the hay area. And, um, it made me again just feel how, how blessed and how fortunate I've been. And I was able to go to a good college. I was able to go to a good law school. I was able to practice law at a very high level. I didn't ever think about building a media network. until COVID, where I saw a deranged maniac— I wasn't even that political— and I saw a deranged maniac lying every damn day, and I wanted to do something. And that evolved into a media network with my brothers, and that became an international media network. And that's what's— we're growing it every day. I'm not going to be perfect. Occasionally, you know, in my, uh, you know, I'll make mistakes along the way. People will knock on the door, my dogs will bark, the Wi-Fi will go out, um, you know, but we'll be here for each other. And we have to be here for each other, and we have to lean on each other. And so I've been so blessed and lucky with my experience. And so, you know, I just want to every day get out there, win the day, which means Get out the truth, show the stories that really aren't being covered anywhere else.
