Furious World Leaders Cut Out Trump from Deals in War!!!
4/4/202618 mincomplete
0:00Furious world leaders are done with Donald Trump.
0:03They are cutting deals behind his back.
0:06For example, France, they were just able to send a container ship through the Strait
0:12of Hormuz. It appears they cut a deal with Iran.
0:17France blocked a United Nations resolution that would call for the invasion of the Strait
0:24of Hormuz. Also, French President Emmanuel Macron has denied Donald Trump use of French airspace
0:31and of any military base in France, joining Spain and Switzerland and Austria and Italy
0:40and many other countries denying Donald Trump access to airspace and military bases as Donald
0:46Trump rants and raves like a lunatic.
0:49Also, Japan was able to send a ship as well through the Strait of Hormuz.
0:54We've been talking about this here in the Midas Touch Network.
0:58Seems like Japan either cut a deal using Russia or Pakistan as an intermediary with
1:05Iran or Prime Minister Takaishi of Japan cut that deal directly herself with Iran's President
1:12Pazeshki and or with other leadership in Iran.
1:16We're seeing the Philippines posting about their bilateral negotiations with Iran in order to access
1:23the Strait of Hormuz. We're seeing the Gulf Cooperation Council, the GCC, who are very
1:31much embroiled in this war.
1:33They believe they were protected by Donald Trump and the United States security umbrella.
1:38All those quid pro quos, those pay for play schemes where they were funneling money
1:44to Donald Trump directly and Donald Trump's family in crypto or real estate endeavors or
1:50to Kushner's private equity fund or whatever.
1:53They've been making statements that have been a bit more conciliatory to Iran, signaling that
2:00they are getting prepared to enter bilateral negotiations with Iran.
2:05And then I'll talk about this in a little bit, but the United Kingdom, they've
2:10been organizing meetings with dozens and dozens of countries throughout the world to try to
2:15talk with one voice in order to open up bilateral relations, or in this case,
2:21relations generally with this group of countries and Iran so that everybody can negotiate with
2:28similar terms with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
2:32In essence, Iran has now been very much legitimized on the world stage.
2:39Iran has never been more popular, never been more needed, never been more involved in
2:46these types of communications with other world leaders as the United States is this pariah
2:52state. I would say a North Korean -like regime, but I think that lots of
2:57countries view Kim Jong -un of North Korea as a far more rational actor than
3:03Donald Trump and this despicable Trump regime.
3:06Let me just go through the data points and the receipts with you piece by
3:10piece. I know you probably don't hear this anywhere else.
3:14It's certainly not on American media.
3:16If you put some of these pieces together in international media, you can put this
3:20puzzle together. But whether you like it or not, this is the truth.
3:25This is what's happening. It's why the Midas Touch Network has been ahead of all
3:28the other coverage out there.

3:41So here's what we learned.
3:43A container ship signaling French ownership just exited the Strait of Hormuz.
3:48It appears to be the first known transit by a vessel linked to Western Europe
3:54since the war all but shuttered the vital waterway.
3:58Bloomberg's reporting. Iran has set up a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz, charging
4:05about a buck to three bucks per gallon of oil, per barrel of oil rather.
4:11And then you have them working with Oman as well.
4:15Oman used to be the mediator between the U .S.
4:18and Iran picked by the U .S.
4:20But U .S. betrayed that mediation and rushed to war after a deal was reached.
4:24U .S. and Netanyahu went in alone, didn't consult any other countries.
4:29So you have that happening.
4:30Now, there's kind of a cause and effect here.
4:32What was France doing behind the scenes?
4:34Well, in the United Nations Security Council, France worked very hard to block, you know,
4:41as a permanent member, it has this ability to veto or block any resolution that
4:46would call for an invasion or a military force to control the Strait of Hormuz.
4:52And if you've been watching what French President Emmanuel Macron's been saying, he has not
4:57been taking crap for Donald Trump.
4:59And he's been calling Trump and the United States out.
5:01Macron's been in Seoul, he took a state visit to South Korea and he said,
5:07let's be clear, France, South Korea, we.
5:11should not be passive in this new disorder we have to build a new order
5:19very strong words right they're elegant words we should not be passive in this new
5:25disorder right the trump disorder out there we these countries that are like france and
5:33south korea they're not superpowers but combined they can flex like a superpower he also
5:40says uh there is room french president emmanuel macron says it's what he just said
5:45in seoul south korea there is room a space to build new cooperation between korea
5:49and france in order to have such an agenda shared by korea and france and
5:55bringing with us other europeans canada japan india brazil and australia you start having a
6:03sort of third way those who don't want to be dependent on china or aligned
6:09by definition with the united states and he further elucidates on that and i'll tie
6:15this all together in a moment too he says our objective is we must not
6:19be vassals to two dominant powers we don't want to depend on the dominance of
6:25china and we don't want to be too much exposed to the unpredictability of the
6:31u .s note the language that he uses like a actual diplomat macron's very careful
6:37with his words to signal not disrespect for china recognizing china is the dominant player
6:44in the world right now and that they're not the cause of disorder that the
6:49united states is the cause of disorder and unpredictability and it is for france to
6:57join forces with other europeans canada japan india brazil korea australia and there could be
7:04this third way we all join together and we work in an orderly way together
7:09that's the best way we could be strong i'll give a hat tip to prime
7:13minister carney of canada because he's been working very hard to unite remember i've been
7:18talking about this trans pacific trade deals and security arrangements with transatlantic trade deals and
7:27security arrangements bringing it all together and really creating i think the way i've described
7:32it was a connect the dots where you connect all the dots and the u
7:37.s is isolated alone stewing in the misery of trumpian chaos all right fellas real
7:46talk spring cleaning is here and before you pretend that your kitchen is fine go
7:50look at the pan you've been using since college if it's warped burnt or smells
7:54like regret it's time spring cleaning isn't just closets it's getting rid of cookware that
7:59actively works against you if your pan makes cooking harder instead of easier that's not
8:05you that's bad cookware that's why i'm obsessed with hex clad i'm not kidding these
8:10are hands down the best pans that i have ever used the first time i
8:14used one i was like oh this is what cooking is supposed to feel like
8:18you get a real sear heat control is perfect and cleanup is stupid easy they
8:24basically combine stainless steel and non -stick into one pan so you're not choosing between
8:28performance or convenience you get both and unlike those old non -stick pans that scratch
8:34and fall apart these are metal utensils safe no babying toss them in the dishwasher
8:39wipe them clean done they're oven safe up to 900 degrees the handles stay cool
8:45and honestly once you use these everything else feels like a downgrade and there's a
8:50reason that gordon ramsay uses hex clad at home and in his restaurants and that
8:55guy is the toughest critic on the planet with over a million customers and 50
9:00000 five -star reviews the secret is out plus they come with a lifetime warranty
9:05so this is it you're not buying pans again don't go through another spring using
9:10the same busted pans that you should have thrown out years ago for a limited
9:13time only our listeners get 10 off your order with our exclusive link just head
9:18to hexclad .com slash midas support our show and check them out at hexclad .com
9:26forward slash midas m -e -i -d -a -s make sure to let them know
9:31we sent you spring clean your kitchen the smart way with hex clad again don't
9:36wait don't go through another spring using the same busted pans you should have thrown
9:40out years ago head to hexclad .com slash midas and upgrade your kitchen now macron
9:46also says in seoul uh the following he goes look let's be clear he said
9:51iran's a bad regime no discussion about that i disagree with them on a lot
9:55of topics notice the language it's a disagreement is how he frames it but i
10:00don't believe that we will fix the situation just by bombings or military operations look
10:05at what happened with this type of operation in iraq afghanistan and libya we never
10:09delivered never even after 20 years so you have to respect the sovereignty of people
10:14if people want to change a regime they want to react step up they can
10:18do so is what he says moreover french president emmanuel macron called out donald trump
10:24as well he said we must be serious and when we are serious we do
10:28not say the opposite of what we said the day before perhaps we should not
10:32speak every day donald we should simply calm things down and build lasting peace six
10:39months ago, we were told by the Americans that everything had been destroyed in Iran.
10:44Everything had been settled. Clearly, that was not the case.
10:48Without international inspectors verifying materials, research, and hidden sites, it is simply not serious.
10:55Then he goes on to say regarding the Strait of Hormuz, opening it by force,
11:00it's not the option we have chosen.
11:02We consider it unrealistic. A military operation to reopen it would take an infinite amount
11:07of time. It would expose forces to immense coastal and ballistic risks.
11:11From the beginning, we have said it must be reopened, but only in coordination with
11:16Iran. The world cannot live with a strait that can be opened or closed overnight.
11:21But notice the language he uses, cooperation with Iran.
11:24It's the same type of language that we're seeing out of the Philippines, where over
11:29here you have their foreign minister or their top person saying, productive call today with
11:35Iran's foreign minister, Aragji. Building on recent talks, we reached a positive understanding on the
11:42safety of our seafarers and the security of our energy supply.
11:47Grateful for the warm spirit of cooperation.
11:51Warm spirit of cooperation. I mean, contrast that with Donald Trump continuing to attack NATO,
11:57to threaten Greenland, to threaten Canada, so much so that Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's top guy,
12:05top envoy, sovereign wealth fund guy who hangs out with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff,
12:10he's been posting, goodbye NATO, see you later.
12:14I'll point this out as well quickly.
12:16French General Mikhail Yakolev mocked the Trump administration's plan to build a runway inside Iran
12:23to extract uranium and fly it out, calling it unrealistic.
12:28American officials should stop snorting cocaine between one meeting and the next.
12:33This French general wrote, remember I talked about Japan as well?
12:37Look, even in the South China Morning Post, an outlet of the CCP, they're out
12:44there also acknowledging that Japan has been cutting deals directly with Iran.
12:50It talks about how in addition to the French container ship, a Japanese -owned tanker
12:55crossed the Strait of Hormuz as well.
12:58Japan's Mitsui OSK lines confirmed on Friday that liquefied natural gas tanker it part owns
13:05also crossed another first. And you can see how methodical Iran is being with it.
13:11Iran realizes that Japan's getting very low on LNG and it needed that to survive.
13:18And so Iran's not letting too much through.
13:21It's very meticulously letting just enough LNG to keep Japan around to negotiate bilaterally.
13:28It's like Donald Trump rants and raves like a lunatic every day, no plan.
13:33It's whatever Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
13:35It's why he's bankrupted so many things.
13:37He's bankrupted this casino, that company, this casino again, right?
13:41If there was a Guinness Book of World Records for bankruptcies, in my opinion, he'd
13:45basically be leading that. And you see why.
13:48You see his pathology. You see his disastrous decision -making, right?
13:52Right before our eyes. I mean, he's making posts like this one day.
13:55The next day, he's asking for help.
13:57NATO, help us. The other day, he's saying, all those countries that can't get jet
14:01fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get
14:06involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.
14:10Number one, buy from the US.
14:12We have plenty. Number two, build up some delayed courage and just take it.
14:16Go to the Strait and take it.
14:17You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself.
14:19The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for
14:23us. Iran has been essentially decimated.
14:26The hard part is done.
14:27Go get your own oil, DJT.
14:29And then Donald Trump was posting all day yesterday.
14:32It's going to be our oil.
14:33We're going to take our oil, right?
14:35Now, the Gulf Council, the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, their Secretary General, look at the
14:41tone that they're using. The Council desires to establish normal relations with Iran and reserve
14:48all security issues transparently. Gulf countries will take all measures to protect their sovereignty and
14:56the safety of their territories.
14:59Now, in addition, Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of UK, says that the UK will
15:04convene 30, Alex Wickman writes, 35 countries to discuss the diplomatic and political measures needed
15:11to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
15:13And UK military planners will meet as well.
15:16The unspoken implication of the focus on diplomacy is that if and when Trump walks
15:21away without reopening the Strait of Hormuz and without a deal with Iran, then Tehran
15:26holds the cards and will be able to negotiate terms with Western and Gulf countries.
15:31Many would conclude that scenario would leave Iran in many ways in a stronger international
15:36position than before Trump's war, a remarkable outcome.
15:39So what the UK was trying to do at least to say, let's all agree
15:44what our terms are going to be with Iran when we negotiate with Iran when
15:48Trump abandons us. Do you see what's happening right now behind the scenes?
15:52And all the while, Donald Trump is just attacking our former allies.
15:56I mean, here he is attacking French President Emmanuel Macron.
15:59You know, and just like the evil guy he is, Trump like attacks Macron's wife
16:04makes it very personal, you know, and so Macron's.
16:07OK, that's what you're going to do.
16:08Don't ask. Don't ask for us to help you.
16:11Don't ask for our country.
16:12Don't ask. What are you doing?
16:14Play this clip of Trump attacking Macron recently.
16:16Let's play. Easier than I thought.
16:19Then I call up France, Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly and still recovering
16:31from the right to the jaw.
16:33And I say, Emmanuel, we'd love to have some help in the Gulf, even though
16:39we're setting records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles.
16:45We'd love to have some help if you could.
16:47Could you please send ships immediately?
16:49No, no, no. Cannot do that.
16:51Don't we can. We can do that after the war is won.
16:56I said, no, no, I don't need after the war is won, Emmanuel.
16:59Many of them said we'll be there after the war is completed.
17:03And so I learned about NATO.
17:05NATO won't be there if we ever have the big one.
17:08You know what I mean by the big one?
17:09We ever have the big one.
17:10Hopefully we won't. Relationships very good with the big one.
17:13So there you have it.
