Welcome to Ben on Breaking News.

I'm Ben Meiselas, and this is your breaking news.

And folks, I just wanna say at the outset, I certainly understand that these are incredibly difficult times, and I know sometimes when we report on breaking news, maybe sometimes it feels cold, it feels detached from your experience.

And so I want to acknowledge at the very outset, when we talk here about the surging price of gas, the surging price of diesel, when we talk about the per price of barrel of, uh, crude, uh, whether it's WTI or Brent, you know, when we talk about this catastrophic war in Iran, when we talk about affordability and the cost of living, I understand that behind this screen or phone or if you're listening to this on audio, um, you know, beaming into your headset, um, I understand that there are people behind this, and we're experiencing this together, and this wrecking ball that is the Trump regime, what is first and foremost in my mind, not in a political way at all, frankly, because whether you're a Democrat, independent, Republican, or whatever, I understand that you're suffering, and that's not hyperbolic.

That's 82-MEDICARE.

And then while all of this is happening, I mean, what's, what's Trump been saying? What, what's Trump been saying? And by the way, India's critical to this too.

They're hosting the BRICS summit.

But as Xi Jinping said, "China and India are the two countries with the largest populations in the world and are important members of the Global South and play an important role.

The two sides will work together to promote high-quality cooperation and promote a peaceful and stable world and provide more positive energy." Okay, think about this.

Every other day we're either going to be destru- destroying Iran or they...

Or he you know applauds their regime then he says it's a new regime.

I mean the fact that you know again a nation, a regime in Iran that we have had hostile relationships with for about 50 years is, has beat the United States in this war because you have a loser like Pete Hegseth as the uh, the guy running the place at the Department of Defense and then they are just constantly making fun of Donald Trump and the United States.

It's, it's obscene.

It's absurd.
