2:13of the United States are publicly repudiating and rejecting him.
2:19Donald Trump is out there lying.
2:21He told the Wall, what else is new?
2:23He told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that he's heard from all of these
2:27nations and they're forming a coalition with him to head into the Strait of Hormuz
2:32in order to secure it for all of the cargo ships and fueling ships to
2:37leave and to normalize trade again.
2:40That is not happening. To the contrary, you're having nation after nation call out Donald
2:46Trump and rebuke him. Shall we go through one by one right now?
2:52Australia announces, We will not be sending naval ships to assisted reopening the Strait of
2:58Hormuz, a government minister said on Monday.
3:01Shall we go to Japan?
3:02According to Japanese Prime Minister Takeishi, Japan is not even considering sending navy vessels to
3:10the Middle East to aid in efforts surrounding the security of the Strait of Hormuz
3:15and the wider region. Japan has, however, it will agree to some drawdowns of its
3:21strategic oil reserves as part of the multinational efforts of the International Energy Agency to
3:28stabilize the market. It ain't stabilizing the market, okay?
3:33The 400 million barrels of oil internationally, that ain't gonna cut it.
3:38Let's be very clear. How about in Germany?
3:41Germany, Germany's foreign minister, Johann Wadfel, was asked whether Germany would respond to Donald Trump's
3:48call to join a naval mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
3:53Speaking to a local paper there, Wade Fall said the EU's operation mission previously in
4:00the Red Sea regarding the Houthis from Yemen has not been effective at protecting commercial
4:07shipping from attacks over there in the Red Sea.
4:10So expanding this operation to the Strait of Hormuz would not provide any greater security.
4:18That's a significant insight there that has a deeper meaning.
4:23Remember when the Houthis were effectively shutting down commerce in the Red Sea?
4:28And remember Pete Heggs, it's like, we're totally obliterating it.
4:31Remember why Mike Walls is now the ambassador to the United Nations and not the
4:36national security advisor when they were all involved in those signal chats?
4:40That was not Persian Gulf.
4:42That was the Red Sea right there.
4:44And there's their own strait, their zone strait in the Red Sea that the Houthis
4:50from Yemen have been very successful when they want to of shutting down and shooting
4:56at the commercial vessels there.
4:58So what we're seeing happen right now is as the Persian Gulf has effectively been
5:03shut down, the Strait of Hormuz has been shut down by Iran, people are saying,
5:07oh, well, can we get our oil from the Red Sea and transfer it through?
5:11Red Sea out. Well, at a moment's notice, the Houthis are ready and they're just
5:16luring ships to basically come in.
5:19And I think that it's very clear that the Houthis are going to start operations
5:24in the Red Sea soon.
5:25I think the Germans are aware of that.
5:28That's why they're saying, you know, why would we get involved?
5:31It wasn't effective in the Red Sea.
5:32Now you want us in these trade -off moves.
5:33Uh -uh, it's not going to happen.
5:35What about France? Well, France's leader, President Emmanuel Macron has been speaking directly with the
5:43president of Iran, Pazeshkin. Remember how I've been reporting that both Italy and France have
5:50been involved in trying to do direct negotiations with Iran bilaterally to see if they
5:56can get their ships through the Strait of Hormuz and basically saying, hey, we want
6:01out of this thing, right?
6:03Remember how I've been reporting on that?
6:05Well, there was another call between Macron and Pazeshkin that took place over this past
6:10weekend. And one of the things that Macron has been talking about is a new
6:15political and security framework that can ensure peace and security for all.
6:22That's coded language right there.
6:24When he talks about a new political and security framework, inherent in that is acknowledging
6:31the existence of the Islamic Republic in Iran as their right to function and a
6:36new framework away from the United States, a framework where you have Europe and Canada
6:42and Australia and Asian countries that are allied and united and not dependent on the
6:49United States anymore because the U S has become a liability, a massive liability under
6:56Donald Trump for all of these nations.
6:59So not only is France saying, uh, we ain't doing it.
7:02They're saying we need to create a new framework to ensure peace and security for
7:07all that's code for without the United States or removing the United States as a
7:13leader in any of these coalitions.
7:15You have a lot of other developments as well.
7:18I mean, just take a look at this Goldman Sachs report on the Gulf.
7:22They talk about how Qatar and Kuwait could each see their GDP contract by 14
7:30% this year. If this conflict conflicts through April, a 14 % contraction in the
7:36GDP of Qatar and Kuwait, resulting in a two month halt of the Strait of
7:41Hormuz, Saudi Arabia and the UAE would fare better by the way, based on oil,
7:47at least, um, given their ability to reroute oil flows away from the critical Hormuz
7:52waterway, but would likely see GDP dropped by about 3 % to 5%.
7:57But remember what I said before reroute to where reroute to the Red Sea for
8:02now, that may make sense.
8:04But if you look at this map that Javier Blas posted map of the day,
8:08while the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, the Red Sea is witnessing the arrival
8:13of an oil tanker or armada to the Saudi terminal there.
8:17And isn't it just the most obvious trap as this armada is there, you have
8:22the leader of the Houthis saying we're just, they literally are saying, we're waiting for
8:26you. Come on, we're ready for you.
8:29And we're about to be activated.
8:30They're saying it out loud.
8:31Dammit. I just don't get, I mean, I know you appreciate our meticulous reporting here
8:37and we're ahead of the curve on what's being reported elsewhere.
8:39And I'm sure you'll hear in the next few days about the Houthis opening up
8:43a front on the Red Sea and how it was a trap.
8:46And I'd love to take credit and be like, wow, that's so brilliant reporting at
8:49the Midas Tudor. But they're saying it out loud, which is what I'm reporting.
8:55No one reports on it until after, like, oh my God, we've been shocked right
8:59here. Shocked, I tell you.
9:01One of the things though, also about the UAE, which needs to be reported more,
9:05and I don't think Goldman Sachs even really captured this.
9:08Dubai is dead. Say goodbye to Dubai.
9:11Say goodbye to Abu Dhabi.
9:13You know, there ain't vacations happening there ever again.
9:17There ain't Formula One races happening there in Bahrain again.
9:20There ain't Western vacationers or Asian vacationers going there ever again.
9:25It's done. People aren't living there.
9:27It's over. All the work they've done, all of the bribes they played to Trump
9:32and Kushner and the family, all the quid pro quos, the pay for play.
9:35They paid Trump and Kushner too weak to play.
9:39But of course they couldn't.
9:40And by the way, the Qatari should have realized that y 'all had to bail
9:43out Kushner for his real estate project in Manhattan like 10 years ago.
9:48At 666, you had to bail the guy out.
9:51He couldn't even run one building.
9:53You think he could run the Middle East?
9:55These are lifelong losers, the Trumps, the Kushners, and you got played.
10:01The way Trump's creditors screwed him over, the way Trump screwed over his creditors, and
10:06the way he screwed over his contractors, this is how Donald Trump operates.
10:09And I want you to listen to this right here.
10:11A Kuwaiti analyst, this was just the other day, openly criticizing Gulf policy toward Washington
10:18after the latest strikes, Tom Keith explains, saying the region paid billions for influence and
10:24received nothing in return. He pointed directly to Jared Kushner, noting all this Gulf money
10:30flowed to him and to Trump and the Trump family, yet the same states that
10:35financed those channels ended up facing strikes and pressures.
10:39sure his conclusion is that appeasing all of these people you know is is the
10:44worst that you can do you're not getting the protection watch what he says and
10:47i'm just showing you this for the perspective of you can see what they're saying
10:50internationally at this point right now watch what they're saying internationally we need to know
10:56that you cannot appease zionists you cannot buy influence look at jared kushner we know
11:09how much he took from the gulf it's it's open source public info and now
11:14the same countries that gave him all that money for zero return are facing strikes
11:22and and bombs and they're trying to make it seem as if it is our
11:26duty to carry on the job that israel wants to continue which is very a
11:31very crazy idea to begin with so we need to change the way we think
11:35how we can influence washington folks and while that's happening you have the foreign minister
11:41of iran going on abc and doing media appearances here well here's what he's saying
11:47he goes i told this to cbs iran has neither sought a truce nor is
11:54engaged in talks such claims are delusional so trump's out there saying oh we're speaking
12:00with iran but we don't want to make a deal yet trump's saying because iran
12:04is not offering us exactly what we want yet and iran's like we're not even
12:07talking to you dude you're you're a delusional nutcase we're not we're having no conversations
12:13the fact that the iranian foreign minister has to show up and look sensible while
12:19donald trump looks like baghdad bob that's a problem and we all know that trump
12:24is lying we know that trump isn't having conversations he lies about fake conversations with
12:29world leaders all everything out of his mouth is a lie and the iranian foreign
12:34minister says look our powerful armed forces will keep firing until trump realizes that the
12:39illegal war he's imposing on both americans and iranians is wrong and must never be
12:43repeated victims must also be compensated and if you look at what's happening right now
12:49in the middle east as well i mean you'll see for yourself here are you
12:55know there were reports that there were several few fuel tanks ablaze last night at
13:01the dubai international airport following a drone attack by iran look for yourself you can
13:07see what's going on right there at the airport in dubai that's still being hit
13:12by iranian drones yeah all throughout the night you have the saudi arabian ministry of
13:17defense announcing that they've tracked and shot down at least 30 iranian drones but who
13:22knows how many have hit we know that they lie all the time about everything
13:27as well sirens were sounding again across bahrain with residents of manama reporting the sound
13:34of explosions and several interceptions in the sky there iran has launched uh another uh
13:41wave of ballistic missile strikes there um you know that's what's going on that's what's
13:46going on there here i'll show you what it looks like and by the way
13:49it's not to say that the u .s the u .s and israel are hitting
13:53iran hard destroyed a lot of the iranian navy let's be clear destroyed a lot
13:59of iranian kind of conventional weapons but iran still has its ballistic missile arsenal its
14:05shahid drones are cheap to produce and they have a huge amount of shahid drones
14:10that they can keep sending they control the strait of her moves their leadership is
14:15in power so you know on balance this has been an unmitigated disaster for the
14:20united states and then you have the u .s and israel striking these civilian targets
14:24uh in iran kind of further pushing the people away from the united states and
14:30towards the ayatollah i mean you have israel preparing for a ground invasion of southern
14:34lebanon the israeli government is set to approve the call up of 450 000 reservists
14:41as the israel defense forces prepare yet another ground operation against hezbollah in southern lebanon
14:48the prior reservist limit in israel was 280 000 they're now raising that to 450
14:55and they're gonna you know they're gonna invade southern lebanon i mean they've already destroyed
14:59a lot of it i mean take a look right here at what uh southern
15:03lebanon looks like i mean suburban areas beirut and other places just leveled here's a
15:09damaged car near a damaged building in the aftermath of an israeli strike on a
15:15health care center where according to a lebanese state news agency multiple members of medical
15:21personnel were killed in southern lebanon i think it was like 19 plus people who
15:26worked at this hospital were killed by this uh israeli strike let's talk about something

16:53I just can't even emphasize how utterly pathetic Donald Trump looks while all of this
16:59is going on as well.
17:00I mean, he's out there saying, he told the Financial Times that NATO nations face
17:07a very bad outlook if they fail to seriously aid in efforts to open the
17:12Strait of Hormuz amidst the ongoing conflict between Iran and the U .S.
17:16and Israel. Trump also said, I may delay my visit to China for a summit
17:20with Xi Jinping later this month should they also fail to aid in efforts to
17:25open the Strait, adding that nations who benefit the most from trade through the Strait
17:30should be more invested in its reopening.
17:34Loser. Loser, loser, loser. Listen, you loser.
17:37China is invested in your failure and in the failure of the United States.
17:42Russia, I know you think that, you know, ha ha ha, I'm releasing these sanctions
17:48against Russia and allowing them to, I'm really owning Zelensky right here.
17:53Right, PT Barnum. You know, you continue to mock Zelensky.
17:57You've, you know, and you're a Putin bootlicker.
17:59You've removed the sanctions against Russia.
18:02Now they're allowed to sell oil to so many, you know, to basically every nation.
18:09Russia is invested in your failure and the death of America.
18:12They're helping Iran right now.
18:14Okay, don't you see that?
18:16And you've attacked so many of your allies, so many other nations.
18:20You've attacked NATO. You've attacked all the countries in the G7.
18:23You've betrayed the G7 by releasing the oil sanctions against Putin.
18:27Nobody wants to help you in the Strait of Hormuz.
18:29Nobody wants to bail you out.
18:31You started this unlawful war with Netanyahu against Iran.
18:35And now you're like, other countries need to get involved.
18:38You sound so utterly weak.
18:40And it's really, really embarrassing as an American just to see this transpire like this.
18:47And I reported earlier yesterday, and we've seen this reported in Politico Elsewhere, how Taiwan
18:52is reporting a large -scale Chinese military aircraft and naval presence near their island as
19:00well. And by the way, let's not forget what's happening in Gaza, where there's been
19:05more murders of people in Gaza by Israel.
19:08Israeli forces killed 16 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, health officials
19:14said, in one of the heaviest death tolls in a single day and weeks as
19:18Israel continued to launch attacks on Lebanon and Iran.
19:21And there's been close, maybe more than a thousand deaths in Gaza.
19:25And yes, has some Hamas been killed?
19:28Absolutely. And Hamas is a terrorist group and they should be targeted.
19:33But not innocent people in Gaza.
19:35Let me be very clear about that.
19:37The atrocities and heinous, heinous conduct in Gaza needs to be condemned in the strongest
19:42of terms with Netanyahu's conduct, that of a war criminal, and Donald Trump's as well,
19:47that of a war criminal.
19:49I mean, it is horrific to see what is happening there.
19:53And again, more Palestinians have been killed as well over this past weekend when there's
20:01never a ceasefire to begin with.
20:02It was just more lies from Donald Trump and his regime.
20:06Let me show you what Mets Frederiksen, the prime minister of Denmark, had to say
20:11about Trump's Greenland threats. You can hear for yourself what she had to say when
20:16she was in Oslo with numerous other nations.
20:19Here, play this clip. I am very grateful.
20:21I have to say this.
20:23For all the help we have received in the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland and Denmark,
20:28we have had a totally unacceptable pressure from U .S.
20:32and the U .S. president.
20:34It has been very difficult for the people in Greenland to experience this.
20:39And one of the reasons why we have been able to stand firmly on very
20:47common values that you have to respect sovereign states, that you have to respect a
20:52people's right for self -determination is because of our good friends in the Nordic countries,
20:58in Europe, but also with partners outside, especially you, Mark.
21:02So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for that.
21:05Here's what Zelensky had to say speaking with CNN, with Fareed Zakaria, when asking, well,
21:14you know, Donald Trump keeps on attacking you.
21:16Here's what he had to say.
21:17Play this clip. You worry, though, that you still have not been able to persuade
21:24President Trump, it seems to me, because he tweeted out saying, if America does not
21:31have enough weapons, it's because Joe Biden gave them all.
21:34to Zelensky, and he compared you to P .T.
21:38Barnum, it does seem that President Trump still has some anger or resentment toward Ukraine,
21:47and even toward you personally.
21:50I don't know, Farid. To be honest, I'm looking just to the facts.
21:56So, what Middle East countries and the American base, what they need now, just to
22:02be in more strong security.
22:05So, they need interceptors. It's drones, interceptors.
22:10It's new technologies. It's our technologies.
22:12So, President Biden, we are thankful to America and bipartisan support and to President Trump,
22:19but we never got drones, interceptors from the United States.
22:23So, we never asked. It's just new technologies.
22:26But we've got Patriot missiles, and we are thankful to America that we could get
22:32some missiles. But also, at the same moment, I want to underline that Middle East
22:38partners had more missiles for Patriots than we've got from the United States and Europeans
22:46during all the war. They used more missiles.
22:50They used more than 800 Patriot missiles had during the first attack, during the first
22:5624, 36 hours. So, more than we had during all the months.
23:01But when we speak how to close the sky, I mean, we gave what we
23:06had, and what our American friends, they don't have, or European friends, they don't have,
23:12I mean, such a big system of these experts.
23:15They have more other things, very strong things, but not these.
23:20And Middle East countries asked us exactly about...
23:23More from Zelensky right here.
23:25Let's play it. And I'm still sure that America has to make big pressure on
23:33Putin. Otherwise, he will not negotiate.
23:35He wants only ultimatums from us that we have to withdraw from our territory, but
23:41he will not end with this.
23:43No, no, it's not enough for him.
23:44Of course, this situation in Iran gives him more money.
23:50And the process of taking off the sanctions, this new sanctions policy, also helpful for
23:59him personally. And that's why, of course, it gives more assurance to Putin that he
24:04can continue the war. And we will see.
24:09Now we are asking our partners from the United States that we have to fix
24:16the date of trilateral meeting.
24:17We always supported this format, supported President Trump and his team.
24:22Now the American side postponed, because of Iran, postponed the meeting.
24:28But if we really want to stop the war, we need to meet.
24:32We need to meet on technical groups.
24:35We need to meet on the level of leaders.
24:37We need more pressure on Russia.
24:38If we will not do these steps, we will not be close to the peace.
24:45I'll show you some of the videos that they're making in North Korea as Donald
24:49Trump has removed the THAAD and Patriot missiles from South Korea.
24:55Kim Jong -un in North Korea is making videos of himself testing his rocket launch
25:02systems and just mocking South Korea right now because Donald Trump removed their critical defenses.
25:09And by the way, Trump took out our troops who were in Japan, about 5
25:13,000 of them from a powerful Marine expeditionary unit to send him over to the
25:20Middle East. Here's the video of Kim Jong -un.
25:30And here's what the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragji said on American media about Donald
25:38Trump saying, oh, well, we do this for fun.
25:42We may bomb the hell out of the Karag Island for fun.
25:47And again, this is easily utilized by Aragji and others to say, look, these Americans
25:53are war criminals. You're handing the Ayatollah and the Iranians a gift here.
25:58Why are you doing this?
26:00Trump's behavior is so repugnant that he's allowing the Ayatollah to consolidate power by Trump's
26:12behavior is so idiotic and so weak and pathetic.
26:16And it's sad to see as an American how weak we look.
26:22This is what we look like.
26:25Trump's loser, bankrupt casinos. And I just, I try to warn about all this.
26:30It's loser behavior. You want to hear a play this clip.
26:34Trump said this weekend, he is not ready to make a deal with Iran because
26:39the terms aren't good enough yet.
26:41His administration is saying this war could last another three and a half weeks or
26:47so. Has Iran asked for a ceasefire?
26:51No, we never asked for a ceasefire.
26:54And we have never asked even for negotiation.
26:58We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes.
27:02And this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that
27:06until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war with no
27:15victory, and there are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun.
27:31This is what he has said.
27:33Have fun? Yes, this is what he said, that they are sinking ships and targeting
27:41different places because it is fun.
27:46And the Secretary of War has said that there is no mercy, and this is
27:57actually a war crime. Even saying that is a war crime.
28:01So this is a war of choice by President Trump and the United States, and
28:08we are going to continue our self -defense.
