0:54IQBar .com, code BRAINIQ. World leaders are unleashing on Donald Trump.
1:03They smell blood, they smell weakness, and they are showing no sympathy.
1:09I'll show you what's going on in Canada.
1:12I'll show you what's going on in Europe.
1:14I'll show you what's going on in the rest of the world right now.
1:18Just give you an example right here.
1:20The premier from Manitoba, Wab Kanu.
1:25He just gave a powerful interview on Canadian broadcast TV, and he was out there
1:32saying, you know what, Donald Trump?
1:34Release those damn Epstein files.
1:37That's what we should be talking about as Donald Trump threatens us in Canada.
1:41Here, play this clip. Well, I think we should demand the release of the Epstein
1:47files. Donald Trump clearly doesn't like them.
1:51He always does something pretty wild any time the Epstein files come up.
1:55So I'm just floating this as an idea to put the Americans on the back
2:00foot, the American administration anyways.
2:02Let's demand the release of the Epstein files.
2:04Something tells me that they won't be talking a lot of tough talk about our
2:08country if we put the conversation there.
2:12More from Kanu right here as Donald Trump and his regime are whining about Canada
2:18not buying alcohol from the United States.
2:22Here's what Wab Kanu, premier of Manitoba, has to say.
2:26Play this clip. You have an erratic president who's fully pot committed to a terrible
2:32trade policy. And now the prime minister of our country has to find a path
2:38forward to protecting our economy and growing our jobs while also being mindful of a
2:44very, very sensitive ego in the White House office.
2:47And so, you know, the prime minister has my support.
2:50First and foremost, this is about Manitoba jobs.
2:53And when Americans threaten our jobs with tariffs, we're going to send that message.
2:58We're not going to sell your alcohol.
3:01And we're sorry if that harms hardworking Americans out there.
3:05But you know what to do when it comes time to vote in the midterms
3:08or comes time to vote for president again.
3:10You know, throw the bums out, as the saying used to go.
3:13And finally, he reiterates one more time, you're going to talk about the 51st state.
3:19You're going to try to talk crap about Canada.
3:22We're going to keep on bringing up the Epstein files, Donald.
3:25Let's play this clip. Oh, well, what is what was the 51st state talk or
3:30the Greenland talk? Right. It's just made up bluster.
3:34So if we're in a game of talking trash, then why doesn't Trump release the
3:38Epstein files? What is he hiding?
3:40Right. If they release the Epstein files, then maybe we'll put the American booze back
3:43on the shelves. Another sign, too, about Donald Trump's increasing weakness.
3:49We're finally seeing other news outlets talk about it as well.
3:54It's felt awfully lonely here doing a series every morning talking about how the rest
4:00of the world are forging alliances with each other against the United States, how it's
4:06not America first. It's America alone right now.
4:10And the world has moved on.
4:12It's not that the world is listening to Donald Trump and trying to, you know,
4:17improve their military capabilities because Trump's saying so.
4:21So they're prepared for a world without the United States as the leader, which is
4:26what's happening right now. So, for example, we finally got a New York Times op
4:31-ed. David French, hat tip to him.
4:34Meet the new leader of the free world.
4:36And it talks about how Ukrainian President Zelensky is actually the leader of the free
4:42world right now. Then you had this segment by Fareed Zakaria on CNN, where he
4:48very methodically went through how the world has moved on from Donald Trump and America's
4:55allies, or I should say former allies, have forged relations with each other and basically
5:02have said goodbye to their prior relationship with the United States.
5:07Let's listen to what Zakaria says here.
5:10Play this clip. I was recently in Shenzhen, the heart of China's industrial machine, talking
5:17to one of that country's legendary businessmen.
5:19I asked him about the Iran war, and his response surprised me.
5:24He said, quote, for us, Trump's attack on Iran is less consequential than his threat
5:30to attack Greenland. When he did that to America's oldest allies, I knew that Europe
5:36would not follow America's approach to China, unquote.
5:41In the U .S., Trump's periodic insults hurled toward Europe tend to get treated as
5:47routine tantrums, part of the reality TV show that is now the White House.
5:52But in Europe, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point.
5:58Daniel DePetris recently wrote in The Spectator, a conservative and usually ardently pro -American magazine,
6:06the war in Iran has forced Europe to grow a spine.
6:10European leaders are no longer interested in dropping to their knees and groveling to stay
6:16on Trump's good side. Europe is moving from words to actions.
6:20The EU's Rearm Europe Readiness 2030 plan is to invest some 800 billion euros in
6:28defense in the coming years.
6:30The old model was that America took care of European security and Europeans spent generously
6:35on American arms. Now, Europeans want more of their money to stay at home, to
6:41build European firms and supply chains and thus gain strategic autonomy from Washington.
6:49The same logic is spreading beyond defense.
6:51The European Payments Initiative is building a continent -wide alternative to Visa and MasterCard.
6:58European institutions are seeking alternatives to SWIFT, PayPal and other U .S.-dominated financial platforms.
7:06France has moved gold reserves from New York to Paris.
7:09Politicians in Germany and Italy have debated whether their countries should do the same.
7:15European governments are looking for alternatives to American software, fearing that U .S.
7:20firms might one day be ordered to cut off critical services.
7:24This can all be dismissed as posturing, but let's remember, Europe is collectively the world's
7:30second largest economy with the second most widely used reserve currency.
7:35Its actions matter. Now, let's take a look right here, this op -ed by David
7:42French in The Times that just came out.
7:44And it's very similar to, I think, the reporting you've heard here on the Midas
7:48Touch Network. Here's what he says.
7:50Meet the new leader of the free world.
7:53A remarkable thing has happened on the world's battlefields.
7:57Ukraine, a nation that was supposed to dissolve within days of a Russian invasion, has
8:02fought Russia to a stalemate, revolutionizing land warfare in the process.
8:07It has become an indispensable security partner in the Western alliance, including in the war
8:13against Iran. Now, Zelensky, Ukraine's president, is taking the next steps, one that would have
8:19been unthinkable as recently as 2024.
8:22By word and deed, he's showing Europe and the world how the post -American free
8:28world can preserve its liberty and independence.
8:33This is what happens when, as Phillips, Payson, O 'Brien wrote in a piece for
8:38the Atlantic, Kiev appears to have given up on the United States.
8:44If that is true, and it looks as though it is, it may be worse
8:48news for the United States than it even is for Ukraine.
8:53Now, I'll just share with you, for example, what Finnish President Stub had to say
9:01about Ukraine. And he said, look, we in Europe now realize we need Ukraine more
9:08than Ukraine needs us. Do you see how everything Donald Trump does backfires in his
9:15face? And also, if you think about all of the investments that were made by
9:21the Biden administration into Ukraine, and now the incredible drone weaponry in Ukraine, the anti
9:29-drone technology, from just a purely self -interested standpoint, if you didn't care about global
9:38stability, which you should care about, if you really were America first, the investment in
9:43Ukraine would have been the biggest America first investment because of its development of the
9:50critical technology for 2026 warfare that the U .S.
9:55doesn't have. Here's what Finnish President Stub just said.
9:58Let's play it. First of all, I think the most credible security guarantee that Ukraine
10:04has right now is 800 ,000 strong armed force and a capacity to conduct modern
10:12warfare unlike any other NATO member states.
10:16So I think the tide has actually turned.
10:18I think we Europeans have to understand that, you know, we need Ukraine more than
10:23Ukraine needs us. They know how to do this thing.
10:26Then the question is on the peace agreement.
10:29You know, I just don't see Putin changing his mind.
10:32I was optimistic for a few months and, you know, working at it, but it
10:36ended up being classical Russian delay tactic.
10:40And then he says, look, I'm not going to get morbid right now, but you
10:44want to talk about the pain and the deaths being inflicted against the Russians by
10:48the Ukrainians? Here's what he has to say.
10:51Play this clip. How much of a better place Ukraine is in today than they
10:55were a year ago? In the past four months, and sorry for being morbid, and
11:00I know this is rough language, but in the past four months, Ukraine has killed
11:06or wounded between 30 ,000 to 35 ,000 Russian soldiers per month.
11:14They have done so 95 % with drones at a ratio of one Ukrainian dead
11:21to five Russians dead. Wild Grain is the first to bake from Frozen subscription box

12:54Going back for another moment to this piece by David French, one of the things
13:00that he points out that really kind of sticks with me is his powerful words
13:06where he says the following, I don't think Americans fully appreciate the extraordinary cost of
13:13Trump's bluster and blunders. It should go without saying, but once you threaten to invade
13:18an allied country, you don't just place the existence of the alliance in jeopardy.
13:24You raise the possibility of allies turning into mortal enemies.
13:29You can also trigger the kind of insecurity and scramble for power that contributed to
13:35the start of World War I.
13:37In practical terms, it's hard to see how alienating American allies puts America first, and
13:45that's my thesis as well.
13:46Even if you were America first, what you're doing right here just puts America alone
13:53and last, and other countries are seeing it.
13:57In this David French article, he goes through as well, piece by piece.
14:02He describes how Ukraine right now has an army of about a million people, and
14:09he explains how America's total force is larger than Ukraine, but to put the size
14:15of Ukrainian land force in perspective, the combined size of the U .S.
14:20Army and Marines, it's around 620 ,000.
14:23In terms of the Ukraine force, about a million men and women under arms who
14:29are actually serving as ground forces themselves.
14:34And then this article goes on to explain that rapid changes are not just occurring
14:39in Ukraine as Ukraine has developed the cutting edge drone technology, drone interceptors, and all
14:46of that. He goes on to say, other development across the Western alliance show that
14:51European nations are working with shocking speed to free themselves from dependence on America.
14:59France is expanding its nuclear arsenal and increasing its defense spending.
15:04It is even changing its nuclear doctrine to allow it to deploy nuclear armed aircraft
15:09outside France. Germany has approved a plan to spend up to a trillion euros on
15:15defense and infrastructure. It has also set the goal of creating the strongest military in
15:20Europe by 2039, ironically enough, the 100 -year anniversary of the German invasion of Poland.
15:27Canada is enacting its own defense budget increases with the added twist that it will
15:32be spending far less money on American weapons.
15:35And we talked about the F -35 review and instead Canada looking more and more
15:40to Sweden, to France, to South Korea, and others for weapons.
15:45This decision mirrors larger European and allied trends.
15:49Our allies are increasing their defense budgets and decreasing their dependence on American technology.
15:56Just last week, NATO procurement officials decided to replace aging -made early warning aircraft, those
16:04E -3 AWACs, they were potentially going to buy.
16:07buy the E7 AWACS, but uh -uh, now they're going to buy the newer design
16:11from Saab, a Swedish manufacturer and bombardier of Canada.
16:17Ukraine has signed deals and letters of intent to purchase potentially hundreds of advanced fighters
16:23from Sweden and France. All of this is taking place after news reports that Denmark
16:29had been prepared to blow up airfields in Greenland if its fellow NATO member, the
16:35United States attempted to invade.
16:38And then, um, the article goes on to talk more about how by launching a
16:44war against Iran without seeking the help of, or even consulting our European allies, we
16:49lost potential access to their advanced fighters and frigates, as well as to France's carrier
16:54battle group. Not good results if you want to actually win.
16:59And it basically goes on to say the reason why the United States now, this
17:05is also how it's going to impact you in the United States.
17:07When we talk about America's military budget, $1 .5 trillion that the Trump regime is
17:15putting out there, it goes on to explain that since the U .S.
17:20can no longer rely on allies anymore, if the U .S.
17:24has to do everything all alone, it's going to cost a lot more money.
17:29Hence a $1 .5 trillion defense budget, which ultimately takes money from taxpayers that could
17:37be going to services here in the United States and things that it should be
17:40going to. And now more money gets funneled to the American military industrial complex, especially
17:46as no allies want to help us.
17:49I'll just share with you now what Zelensky posted as well.
17:52He said, because now with Peter Magyar winning the Hungary race, he's the new prime
18:01minister of Hungary. Finally, the European Union has removed the Orban, who was a veto
18:09over this $90 billion support loan.
18:13And now Zelensky explains the first tranche under the approved $90 billion European support loan
18:19will be directed towards domestic production for Ukraine defense.
18:23This includes drones in the entire Militech sector.
18:27Second energy by next winter, we must protect everything we can to maximize to the
18:33maximum extent possible. For this purpose, in addition to local budgets, a portion of the
18:37funds will be allocated from the central budget.
18:41We also held meetings in the Middle East and reached a number of arrangements, particularly
18:46in the energy sector. And it goes on to talk about the various deals that
18:51Zelensky has cut as well with Middle East nations for them to buy defense products
18:59from Ukraine. Zelensky goes on to say, we're grateful to every country that is strengthening
19:04its national sanction regimes against Russia.
19:07This truly helps. And this is a crucial point that global sanctions should also extend
19:13to Russia's nuclear sector and to all associated legal entities and individuals.
19:18And obviously he's not thinking the Trump regime there because Donald Trump does everything he
19:23can to help Putin right now.
19:25Removes the sanctions against Russia and Russian oil.
19:29And then Donald Trump, he just goes on and he does two things in the
19:34morning. He attacks NATO and then he praises Russia.
19:39He attacks NATO, attacks NATO, praises Russia.
19:42Here's Donald Trump attacking NATO.
19:44You could hear for yourself.
19:45We've wiped out, largely wiped out the opposition.
19:49If we ever had to keep going, we'd wipe them out very quickly.
19:52The rest of it, the remainder.
19:55And I hope we don't have to do that, but it may be possible that
19:58we do. You know, they have, they have no cohesion and their leadership is very,
20:03very strange. Sometimes you don't have any idea who you're dealing with.
20:08But, uh, it's, it's just, you know, one of these things that, uh, we're going
20:14to, we're going to get it.
20:15We're going to win, but NATO was not there for us.
20:18And I would ask, would you like to join us?
20:21And they said, sir, we don't want to get involved.
20:23And yeah, they said, we don't want to get involved.
20:27And frankly, when they said, we don't want to get involved.
20:30As you know, UK said that, oh no, we'll send ships as soon as the
20:34war is over. And that's not good.
20:37That's not good. We just can't have that.
20:39So we, we are not happy.
20:41Let me put it this way.
20:42Just finish it up. We are not happy with NATO.
20:45NATO did not serve us well.
20:47We've been serving them for many years, spending trillions of dollars.
20:50And when we wanted a little help, they were not there.
20:54So we have to remember that.
20:55Do you expect to talk about, and here's Donald Trump praising Russia here, play this
21:00clip. Do you believe China's helping Iran right now?
21:03You're supposed to meet with president Xi, um, in a couple of weeks.
21:07What's the latest there? What's your communication?
21:09I don't think much. I think they may be helping, but I don't think much.
21:12They could, I can tell you this.
21:13They could help a lot more.
21:14I'm not overly disappointed. You know, we help people too.
21:18And you know, they would say, no, well, what about, what about China?
21:22What about Russia? What about this, that?
21:24Well, we also help people, you know, we help Ukraine as an example.
21:28And, uh, we shouldn't have done it to the extent that we, the war should
21:32have never started, would have never started if I were president.
21:34And, you know, it's a bloodbath over there.
21:37It's horrible. So many soldiers are being killed.
21:39It's incredible. It's just crazy, actually.
21:42But, you know, you could make the case, well, we help Ukraine.
21:47And I don't mention that to too many people, but I mentioned it to you.
21:52So, no, I think China could could have been much worse than they've been.
21:58So I don't I don't consider them having been very bad.
22:01You reference and then. Today, Foreign Minister Arag Chia of Iran, guess where he is
22:10today? He's in St. Petersburg.
22:12He's touring all of Russia.
22:16And he's going to be meeting with Putin.
22:18He's going to be meeting with Lavrov.
22:21He's going to be meeting with all of the top Russian officials.
22:24Why? Because Iran is allied with Russia.
22:28Russia. And while Donald Trump wants to say that Putin is this great guy and
22:33befriend Putin right now, what's going on is Russia is supplying Iran with lots of
22:41weapons, lots of weapons. And Russia's helping Iran target Americans.
22:50That's what's going on. Anyway, let me know what you all think about this.
