Absolutely Furious at the Trump regime for its massive betrayal this past week. Donald Trump calling up the new Prime Minister of Japan, Sinai Takashi, and saying, you need to tone down your rhetoric as it relates to China. Stop telling China that Japan would have to intervene and protect Taiwan if China invaded Taiwan. Japan has no right to do that. And stop offending China. And Japan is like, what you talking about? Aren't we supposed to be your biggest geo strategic ally in this region? You're going after us for saying something that we thought was consistent with where the United States was about protecting Taiwan, and we're not raising the temperature at all. It's China who's been engaged in all of these very furtive, very aggressive actions against Japan and others in the region and is posturing like it's going to invade Taiwan. And you're telling us to tone down the temper for simply saying in response to an invasion, Japan would have to do something. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, you know, I'm going to do what Ji Jinping tells me to do. Now we know that China has completely outmaneuvered the United states in the US's trade war against the world. And this came at a perfect time as China was asserting itself as a more stable and reliable multilateral partner as opposed to the United States. And also China saw the US pulling back its role and its leadership in the world. They are aware of Marco Rubio and others who viewed the world through a multipolar lens of the United States, of Russia and China, and then all the other kind of countries are less important. And that's the framework with which Donald Trump sees something. Throwing our allies in Europe and Canada, Australia and elsewhere under the bus and not paying attention or just being outright hostile to that, or taking on a conquest type mentality, which is what Donald Trump does with Canada 51st state or Greenland, or, you know, in other places like that. We see Donald Trump elevating Russia to a position that it shouldn't and harming our relationship with NATO, basically pulling the US out of that. And we see Donald Trump throwing Japan under the bus. And, you know, we seen Chinese foreign ministers and Chinese leaders attacking Taka Ishi because she said in a speech in front of their parliament in Japan that Japan would help Taiwan. And ever since Takaishi said this, Japan basically used this, or China used this as a way to test the United States, and they got their answer. Trump is weak and pathetic. I mean, take a look at just some of these statements that have been made by Chinese officials since Taka Ishi. Said if China invades, Japan would have to help Taiwan.

This is from China's Defense Ministry spokesperson, John Bin. If the Japanese side dares to cross the line even half a step, it will inevitably pay a painful price. She said what she should not say and cross the red line that should not be touched. That's from China's Foreign Minister, Wang Yi. You have China's Taiwan Affair Office spokesperson. We will crush all foreign interference. This is from China's Consul General in Osaka. The intruding, dirty neck must be cut off without a moment's hesitation, saying that the Prime Minister of Japan's neck should be cut off and her blood poured throughout Japan. You have Fukung, China's permanent representative to the UN Saying if Japan dares to intervene in the situation in Taiwan, see by force, it will constitute an act of aggression. And then you have an editorial in the People's Daily, China's official newspaper. Any revival of Japanese militarism will be stopped, and Japanese actions are dangerously erratic. And again, this was Japan saying, if China invades, here's what Japan is going to do. I want to play this for you right now, too, because China plays an important role in this region, despite Donald Trump not wanting to acknowledge that at all. Let me show you what the prime Minister of Singapore had to say. Lawrence Wong. Here's what he said at a speech that he gave in the past few weeks about how important Japan is in this region. But the United States is now, I think, undermining Japan's ability to project that strength. But play this clip.

And we have put the history aside and we're moving forward. And it's quite striking that survey after survey shows that Japan is the number one trusted great power in Southeast Asia. And so Singapore and all the Southeast Asian countries support Japan playing a bigger role in our region, including on the security front, because we think that provides for some stability in the region.

Now, Prime Minister Taka Ishii refuses to discuss what was said to her on that phone call by Donald Trump, when it's believed that Donald Trump threatened Japan not to or to tone down the temperature against China. Now, we know that Xi Jinping said that he had a very productive call with Donald Trump about Taiwan. And then one of the things we know right now is that the US Our farmers here, are going bankrupt as a result of China not buying certain produce like soybeans. That's one of the ways Donald Trump screwed over our farmers by declaring this trade war against the world. Last year, China purchased 27 million metric tons of soybeans this year, zero. They've now elevated or escalated it to about 300,000 metric tons. They claim they're going to buy 12 million metric tons, which would still be 50 million metric tons less than, less than last year. And now the United States is going to have to bail out its farmers. But China's yet to actually buy the millions of metric tons it's promised this year. We'll see if they do that. Instead they've bought it from Argentina and they bought it from Brazil and replace the United States soybeans that way. Also, China has placed these export controls on their rare earth elements. There are EEs that the United States relies on for building, you know, these magnets that the United States, all of our technology uses these rare earth elements. These export controls never existed under former President Biden. They put them in place under Donald Trump. And they keep on testing Trump and seeing how weak he is over and over again. And I think when Prime Minister take issue of Japan made that statement as a defensive statement, it wasn't an offensive statement. Right. If China invades, Japan will do this. That's the posture of her statement. I think then China wanted to test Trump and say, all right, because of that statement, you need to go and tell Japan to back down. And they wanted to test Trump to see if Trump would go and tell America's biggest strategic geostrategic ally in the region to stand down. And that's precisely what Trump did, which is incredibly humiliating. I'm Ben Meisellis from the Midas Touch here to tell you we are supported by M S now, we the people in order to form a more perfect union.

Same mission, new name. Ms. Now learn more at ms.dot now that's ms.dot. now there's another thing going on in the region as well, or going on in Japan. The United States military is kind of roaming around the streets there in Japan and they are just people off. So there's a few videos circulating in Japan right now. A video of American military police walking down a street in Okinawa armed with a pistol went viral on Japanese Twitter. And many are saying this is an issue of national sovereignty, that the US is basically having its military go around and look like it's patrolling the streets. Here, play this clip. And then I'll show you another clip right here of the United States military. In this case, they happened to body slam and detain an American civilian who was visiting because they were asking people to show their IDs. And this person's like, I'm not showing you my ID. So they body slammed him on the ground and then they released him. And the guy's like, so are you telling me you just go around and do this to Japanese people as well? Who knows how many videos, like, exist like this of the Trump regime doing this to, like, Japanese people that just haven't been released. This happens to be an American, you know, so the person released the video. But here, watch what happened. Let's play this, this clip.
- [12:32]
B
What the.
- [12:33]
F
Yo, what are you doing? Told you not.
- [12:38]
A
You have no right to touch me right now. Hit the video, bro. What is your name? What is your name?
- [12:49]
G
You have no right to detain me.
- [12:50]
A
I'm not under your policy. You are in our jurisdiction, so we still have the right to. So could you detain a Japanese guy over there? Yes, you can. You can detain a random Japanese citizen for not show you their id?
- [13:01]
C
Yes.
- [13:02]
A
And then we can pass them over to the Japanese people. Why, thank you. You know, and what's interesting too is that, you know, when was it, it was last month when Donald Trump said to Takaishi that he would do anything for Japan. And you just ask us, we'll always be here with you every step of the way. And of course we know that that's a total lie. Here, play this clip.
- [13:26]
C
I have always had a great love of Japan and a great respect of Japan, and I will say that this will be a relationship that will be stronger than ever before. And I look forward to working with you and on behalf of our country. I want to just let you know anytime you have any question, any doubt, anything you want, any favors you need, anything I can do to help Japan, we will be there. We are an ally at the strongest level. And it's a great honor to be with you, especially so early in what will be, I think, one of the greatest prime ministers.
- [14:01]

And let me just talk to you about some of the steps that China has taken recently against Japan. You have Premier Li Qiang refusing to meet with Taka ishi at the G20. You have China banning Japanese seafood, issuing a Japan travel warning telling its citizens don't show up in Japan. Ten airlines offer refunds. Students asked to reassess studying in Japan. They have Chinese cinemas halting the release of Japanese movies. Japanese concerts and cultural events canceled. Cultural ministers meeting with Japan and South Korea canceled. Major events canceled, including the Tokyo Beijing Forum. Increased military presence near the Senkaku Islands. Suspected Chinese drones are being sent over the Yaguni Islands. Live fire military drills in the Yellow Sea. They summon Japan ambassador repeatedly. The Osaka Council threatens violence against Taka Ishi on X. They keep sending letters to the UN Secretary General about this. China's UN representative says Japan unqualified to be a member of the Security Council. Let me show you this video right here. This is where Marco Rubio talked about his vision of a multipolar world. This was at the very beginning of the Trump regime. And remember, I played this probably, what, nine months ago, this video came from, and I was showing you this thing. Look how they see the world. They see it as China, they see it as Japan. Sorry. They see it as China, they see it as the US and they see it as Russia and no one else. That's who they see run the world. And then everybody else doesn't matter. I mean, you hear Rubio say this right here, pretty much. Here, play this clip.

So it's not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was an anomaly. It was the product of the end of the Cold War. But eventually you were gonna reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi great powers in different parts of the planet. We face that now with China and to some extent, you know, R. And.
- [15:58]
A
So we'll keep you posted every step of the way. But we need to really focus on what's happening in this region because, you know, it's the Trump regime threw Ukraine under the bus to Russia. They're throwing Japan under the bus to China. And that's how Trump sees the world right now. And the US fading right now. And then, then other alliances are forming throughout the world just happening before rise. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers. Thanks for watching.
