4:28Furious world leaders are blasting Donald Trump and they are not holding back in the
4:34Middle East. Former allies of the United States are saying that the military bases in
4:40their countries are a liability and they want to shut them down because what in
4:46the world is the United States even offering but getting them involved in wars?
4:51When you go to Australia, Canada, and Europe, they're out there calling Donald Trump out
4:57for causing a rupture in the global world order.
5:01We're hearing Canada, Europe discussing, can Canada join the European Union?
5:07I mean, things that were never even thought possible are now being discussed.
5:11the United States. and 60 percent of canadians support that idea you know in qatar
5:16you're hearing how they thought that their military bases uh giving donald trump private jets
5:23was going to help them but it's done the exact opposite i just want to
5:28break down for you point by point of what's going on across the world i
5:33think it's important that we have an international perspective of what's going on a very
5:38significant uae scholar by the name of abdulik abdullah it's very close to the royal
5:45family there says that the uae no longer needs u .s protection calling american bases
5:51a burden not a strategic asset and suggesting that they should be closed the united
5:58states standing in the region has been utterly obliterated let me read for you what
6:04abdullah had to say and then separately the united arab emirates economic ministers and foreign
6:12ministers have been meeting with the united states and have been demanding protection in the
6:18form of currency swaps and in the event that the united states is unwilling to
6:23help out the uae in an emergency they're saying why don't we just use yuan
6:29we'll just switch to chinese currency at this point because what the hell is the
6:34united states even doing i'll get to that in a moment but here's what abdullah
6:37writes this is what i told reuters today the uae no longer needs america to
6:43defend it as it has proven during the iranian aggression that it is capable of
6:48defending itself with distinction what the uae needs is to acquire only the best and
6:54latest weapons america has therefore it is time to think about closing the american bases
7:00as they are a burden and not a strategic asset now separately you have uae's
7:08foreign minister and economic ministers essentially saying the following to the trump regime you started
7:14this war if we run short of u .s dollars as a result of it
7:19either you will give us a u .s dollar swap lines or we will be
7:24forced to start transacting oil and gas in chinese currency in yuan and in other
7:30currencies say goodbye to the petrodollar they have also argued that it was donald trump's
7:36decision to attack iran that entangled their country in a destructive conflict whose effects may
7:42not be over some of the officials said emirati officials told the u .s officials
7:47that if uae runs short of dollars and may be forced to use chinese yuan
7:52or other currencies for oil sales and other transactions some of the officials said in
7:58that scenario is an implicit threat to the u .s dollar which reigns supreme among
8:03global currencies partially because of its near exclusive use in oil transactions so when we
8:11see this photo of treasury secretary scott besand meeting with the uae's minister of state
8:17for financial affairs muhammad bin hadhi al husseini to discuss quote the ongoing economic financial
8:25cooperation between the united states and the united arab emirates it's the uae saying they're
8:31about to abandon the dollar and adopt the yuan as more of their go -to
8:36currency if the u .s does not basically agree to bail them out so i
8:42just want you all to remember remember the currency swaps that were taking place with
8:46argentina 40 billion dollar bailouts for argentina donald trump's america first which is america alone
8:54means bail out everybody else while the american people suffer you know i also note
9:01the following uh and this was uh i think a very significant article from the
9:05new york times that came out yesterday in qatar trapped between the u .s and
9:10iran war forced a reckoning the uncomfortable realization that israel appears to have more influence
9:18over mr trump's decision than gulf leaders do has reverberated throughout gulf royal courts analysts
9:27say there was a big conference as well that took place in turkey uh with
9:32gulf uh states in the past uh 48 hours or so it was a multi
9:37-day conference where the theme that we heard over and over again the u .s
9:41security umbrella no longer exists the u .s has demonstrated how weak it is the
9:48promises of these security guarantees was not delivered by the united states there needs to
9:54be stronger gulf cooperation and at this point the gulf states need to look elsewhere
10:00not to say fully abandon the united states but really start to look closer at
10:06china and other allies ukraine as well um signing 10 year deals uh with lots
10:14of gulf states uh for security protection in the absence of a u .s security
10:19umbrella even the best weapons the most advanced in the history of mankind humankind under
10:27the control of donald trump a weak and pathetic individual utterly collapses just let me
10:33just share this with you because i think it's very powerful it says to grasp
10:38the global collapse damage from the U .S.-Israeli war with Iran.
10:42Consider the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, a close U .S.
10:47ally and longtime mediator between Washington and Tehran.
10:50Qatar's government sought to avert the war.
10:52When that failed, Qatari officials warned of the dangers of a prolonged conflict.
10:57Resource -rich Qatar nonetheless faced more than 700 Iranian missile and drone attacks, which have
11:03targeted Gulf countries that host American military bases.
11:07These attacks forced Qatar to suspend natural gas production, which generates its vast wealth and
11:14normally accounts for a fifth of the global supply.
11:17It was one of a number of disruptions by the war that sent economic shockwaves
11:21around the world. As it takes stock, the Qatari government will be forced to swallow
11:26a bitter pill, analysts say.
11:28Neither its strong ties with the United States nor its cordial relationship with Iran have
11:34spared it from pain. The war has caused a state of quote, strategic shock for
11:39Qatar and its Gulf neighbors, said Rashid al -Mohandi, the vice president of the Center
11:45for International Policy Research, a think tank in Qatar.
11:49There was an assumption that such a big move in the region, like starting a
11:53war with Iran, would at least happen in consultation with the Gulf, he said.
11:58We thought we had a better working relationship with the United States, he said.
12:03At the same time, he added the level of Iranian aggression on our capital and
12:07our cities and on our infrastructure has been just crazy.
12:11So while many Gulf Arab countries have historically had antagonistic relationships with Iran, Qatar along
12:17with Saudi Arabia and the UAE have invested considerable capital in building warmer ties in
12:23recent years. And then separately that they thought that by buying Donald Trump, a Boeing
12:29747 jet and engaging in all of these quid pro quos was going to help
12:34them. But it did not.
12:36Donald Trump did not even alert them when the war was going to take place.
12:41He and Netanyahu just went it alone.
12:44Now, look, this is super important.
12:46If you used medicare .gov to get Medicare Advantage plan information, you may want to
12:51double check your plan. The provider directory had inaccurate information on it.
12:56And it's possible you signed up for a plan that doesn't actually cover your existing
13:01doctors. Listen, folks, it's easy to choose the wrong Medicare plan.
13:06And unfortunately, Medicare mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars.
13:10That's why we partner with Chapter.
13:12When you need to choose a Medicare plan, call them.
13:16They're the only national advisor that compares and recommends every Medicare plan across Medicare supplement,
13:24Medicare Advantage and Part D.
13:26And they've helped people save over $1 ,100 on health care costs.
13:32In fact, they've helped hundreds of you in the Midas Touch community save thousands and
13:38get better coverage. These guys won't push you to buy a plan.
13:41You don't want to. And their support is completely free.
13:45So if you're on Medicare or will be soon, call them at 82 Medicare, they'll
13:51help you understand enrollment options and find ways to save on your health care.
13:56Again, call them at 82 Medicare.
13:59Now, Professor Morandi of Iran, who travels with Iran's negotiating team in connection with the
14:08very weak, if non -existent, purported ceasefire.
14:12At this point, Professor Morandi issued the following warning on behalf of Iran to these
14:18Arab nations, to these Gulf states.
14:21Leave the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait immediately.
14:27Iran will retaliate, destroying everything.
14:30These regimes are guilty partners in the genocidal Epstein coalition and won't be forgiven.
14:36The rising temperature in the Persian Gulf will soon make them uninhabitable.
14:42And this follows Donald Trump announcing that the U .S.
14:47Navy attacked and boarded a Iranian vessel in the Persian Gulf.
14:53This is as the Trump regime continues a naval blockade of the Persian Gulf.
14:58Trump's plan to open the Strait of Hormuz is to further close the Strait of
15:04Hormuz. And then Donald Trump is now, as you know from our other reporting, threatening
15:10to blow up bridges, electric grids, and other civilian infrastructure in Iran.
15:16If Iran does not agree to terms imposed on it by the Trump regime that
15:23the Trump regime was not able to achieve during the war, we all know that
15:27Donald Trump agreed to Iran's 10 -point negotiating framework as a stipulation to the ceasefire
15:35beginning in the first place.
15:37And then when the first negotiation round took place in Islamabad, Pakistan, the Trump regime
15:45said, oh, we're not following the 10 -point framework that Iran put forward that we
15:49previously agreed to. If you don't accept our terms, Iran, we're going to kill the
15:54negotiators, and we're going to blow you up and send you back to the Stone
15:57Age, to which Iran said, those threats don't scare us.
16:01You've tried to do that before in the war.
16:04The reason we're here having negotiating negotiations in the first place is because you set
16:11a arbitrary deadline where you said you would destroy the Iranian civilization.
16:15When the deadline arrived, you panicked Donald Trump because you weren't going to meet the
16:21deadline. So you begged Pakistan to facilitate a ceasefire with Iran by agreeing to their
16:2810 point plan only to renege on the framework.
16:32And now we're back in this situation where you just continue to keep on threatening
16:36Iran that you're going to blow him up and destroy him in negotiations, which is
16:41not really a way to negotiate at all.
16:44Now, it should also be noted that Ukrainian President Zelensky announcing the security guarantees that
16:52Ukraine is now providing to these Middle East nations.
16:55Zelensky wrote the following yesterday.
16:57We have already reached 10 -year agreements with three key countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and
17:03Qatar. We already have requests from 11 countries, the Middle East and the Gulf.
17:09Plus, we're also gradually turning our attention to the caucuses.
17:13Within the drone deal, there will be at least 10 different agreements covering various categories
17:18of Ukrainian weapons exports. Co -production is planned.
17:22The construction of our production lines, both in Ukraine and in other countries.
17:27New technologies that we are developing jointly with various countries in which they are investing.
17:32There is also an agreement on annual funding for a specific amount, along with a
17:37fixed number of years. Second, the European track work has already begun with Germany, Italy,
17:43Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands, of course.
17:46We have good relations with the United Kingdom and France.
17:49I am confident that all of this will also be implemented there.
17:52And that's from an interview that he gave recently that he just gave.
17:55While that's taking place, you have the Trump regime continuing to extend the removal of
18:02sanctions on Russian oil. Remember the Trump regime said last week they were not going
18:06to extend the removal of sanctions from Russian oil?
18:10No way they said they would do that.
18:12But now they did that.
18:13Why? Because Donald Trump, in my opinion, always sides with Putin.
18:17In my opinion, Trump is a Putin bootlicker.
18:20He's pathetic when it comes to Putin and so many other things, mostly everything.
18:24And that's what the Trump regime is doing right now.
18:28We're seeing as well European allies, allies in the Gulf states and others.
18:35I mean, they see what a pathetic negotiating team, Witkoff and Kushner are, and they
18:41see them just as proxies as Netanyahu also.
18:44And also, these are two individuals that don't know anything about international diplomacy.
18:48Witkoff, like a loser real estate guy, Kushner, Trump's son -in -law, loser guy who
18:53got to get bailed out by Qatar in his first real estate project with daddy's
18:58money. I mean, these are losers.
18:59These are loser, loser human beings.
19:02And they don't know about nuclear material.
19:06They're like cosplaying, you know, and they're bad at cosplaying.
19:10And so European allies and Gulf state allies, or former allies, I should say, fear
19:15an inexperienced U .S. negotiating team is pushing for a swift headline -grabbing framework deal
19:20with Iran that could entrench rather than resolve deeper problems.
19:25Diplomats with past experience dealing with Tehran said they worry Washington, eager to claim a
19:31diplomatic win for Donald Trump, could lock in a superficial agreement on Iran's nuclear program
19:36and sanctions relief, then struggle through the months of years of technical complexity following the
19:43talks. The concern isn't that there won't be an agreement, said a senior European diplomat,
19:48one of eight who spoke with Reuters who have previously worked on the nuclear file
19:51or continue to do so.
19:53It's that there will be a bad initial agreement that creates endless downstream problems.
19:58But I would just, I think, add to that.
20:00It'll just be these fake deals.
20:02Donald Trump will claim that there's agreements and there are all of these things.
20:05There won't be anything written down.
20:07There won't be terms. And like right now, the oil shock is massive.
20:11The Strait of Hormuz is closed.
20:13No ships are leaving through the Strait of Hormuz right now.
20:16And what that means is that the oil shock gets worse and worse and worse.
20:21And the food supply shock gets worse and worse and worse.
20:25This is a big problem.
20:26As Phil Stewart explains, the firm Reuters, the world has lost already over $50 billion
20:32worth of crude oil that has not been produced since the Iran war began nearly
20:3650 days ago. And the aftershock of the crisis will be felt for months and
20:41even years to come, according to analysts and Reuters calculations.
20:46It's a big, big, big problem.
20:48But you know what the Trump regime is focused on?
20:50It's stuff like this. Syrian billionaires needed a favor in Washington.
20:55They invoked the Trump name.
20:57It's a Syrian billionaire family called the Kayats.
21:01And they wanted to get sanctions removed from Syria so they could build real estate
21:06projects. And as this New York Times article explains, they got the Trump regime to
21:11give them everything they wanted by promising Trump resorts in Syria and Trump golf courses
21:17in Syria. And they worked with a MAGA Republican Congress member by the name of
21:22Joe Wilson. And it was the Congress member who proposed to the Kayats in South
21:27Carolina. He's like, hey, why don't you do a golf course for Donald Trump?
21:31I think that'll help get rid of some of the sanctions so you can build
21:34these projects and get these tens of billions of dollars in government contracts that Syria
21:40is now offering, by the way, which is being funded by the United States, either
21:44directly or indirectly as well, in my opinion.
21:47And the Kayats are like, ha, ha, ha, great idea with the Trump golf course
21:52in Syria, but we're going to do an entire Trump resort over there and then
21:56we'll get what we want.
21:58And that's what happened. That's the way the quid pro quo worked right there.
22:03I'll leave you with this from Finland's president, Alexander Stubb.
22:09Two points I want to bring up.
22:10First, the idea of Canada joining the European Union.
22:14Here's what Stubb had to say.
22:15Let's play it. I think Canada, in terms of its whole composure, its value base,
22:22is so close to the European Union that the least we can do is to
22:29forge a really close strategic partnership.
22:32And what that then leads to in the end with the EU, which started as
22:36six, ended up with 28, then after Brexit with 27.
22:40I don't know. I can envisage a much larger EU.
22:43Whether Canada is a part of it or not, it's up to Canada to decide.
22:47And then here he says, I don't think America is President Trump.
22:52I see a distinction between the United States and Trump.
22:56And he said, that's why my hope is that our relationship with the US will
23:00be enduring, even if Donald Trump is behaving this way.
23:03Let's play this clip. I don't think that America is President Trump.
23:08I mean, President Trump is the president of America.
23:12But millions of Americans voted for him.
23:14Millions of Americans voted for him.
23:16That's part of democracy as well.
23:18And democratic elections, you don't always get what you want.
23:21But I want to live with the reality that I think the transatlantic partnership, the
23:26relationship between Europe and the US, and of course, Canada is super important.
23:31So I don't want to throw the baby out with a bathwater.
23:33Well, there you have it, folks.
23:35A lot of info I know I'm giving you, but it's important.
23:38This is important stuff that we got to focus on everything that's happening.
