World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his regime. And these world leaders are basically giving him the middle finger at this point and showing how weak and pathetic he is. Remember earlier this week when Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rut and the media reported this as like some big news that Donald Trump was going to give weapons to Ukraine? And I was like, what are we talking about those weapons were already promised to Ukraine by our Congress, and former President Biden and the Trump regime blocked him from going to Ukraine. And I said, donald Trump isn't promising anything. He's saying that he would consider to allow European countries to buy the weapons from the Trump regime. And I'm like, that's just a way he's going to try to extort and hold it over the heads of the European countries. And I said, I doubt he's even going to give it to them. He's already given Russia an extra 50 days after Vladimir Putin said back on July 3rd he needed 60 days to take over additional lands in Ukraine in order for the summer offensive to meet the goal of Russia. So Donald Trump gave Putin 61 days. I said, until we actually see Patriot missiles ending up in Ukraine, you can't believe a word that this guy says. And sure enough, Germany's Foreign Minister Pistorius had already said he went to talk to the United States about getting Patriot missiles, that a deal may not take place for the next few weeks, potentially even more than a month, and that Ukraine does not have the Patriot missiles from Germany or other European countries as Donald Trump promised. But a lot of European countries aren't even buying what Donald Trump is selling, meaning they don't want American weapons anymore. Just think about this, that a lot of NATO nations, France and Italy, for example, are saying, we don't want American weapons. We need to look towards Europe and not towards the United States anymore. Let's have France and other European countries build these weapons and not buy from the United States. So Donald Trump's meeting with Mark Rut was an utter failure. Also, as I've talked about before, as the intelligence comes out about the American military strikes in Iran, it turns out two of the military facilities were not even close to being obliterated in Iran, and they can have nuclear weapons if they want in a matter of months. It was a failure of an operation. And when you dig deeper into our intelligence and find out why it says Donald Trump went with his instincts about how to do the strike versus what the military generals and commanders actually wanted. So Donald Trump is a failure in every aspect of this, and he just continues to demean and attack our allies, who are basically former allies at this point, based on the way Trump treats him. For example, in Donald Trump's trade negotiations with Europe, he now says, no matter what with the European Union, there will be a minimum tariff against Europe of 15 to 20% in any deal, no matter what. How are you supposed to Negotiate with someone who, no matter what, imposes a 15 to 20% tariff as the baseline against Europe and then someone who lies in the negotiations. Trump claims the European Union doesn't buy American cars, are food. Here are the facts. They do buy American cars and food, but now increasingly they're going to start looking to China and they're going to look increasingly more to Asia for cars and food or look towards Brazil and South America versus the United States because of how we are treating them. You know, you have Donald Trump making statements like this. He goes, you know, the BRICS block, they're not even doing meetings anymore because they're so scared of me. I threatened the brics, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. I threatened the BRICS bloc with sanctions. And they shut down their meetings right away. It's like, that's not true. They met in Rio de Janeiro in the past few weeks. It was a very successful meeting. In fact, Mexico sent its foreign minister there who had very productive meetings with Russia as well as China. As America's strength is weakening, here's what Donald Trump said yesterday about the BRICS block. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump
The framework for issuing crypto assets, packed one for one with real US Dollars, treasury bills and other cash equivalents, is really strengthening the dollar and giving the dollar great prominence. And you know, you have this little group called brics. It's fading out fast. But BRICS is, they wanted to try and take over the dollar, the dominance of the dollar and the standard of the dollar. And I said, anybody that's in the BRICS consortium of nations, we're going to tariff you 10%. And they had a meeting the following day and almost nobody showed up. They say, leave me alone. We didn't want to, they didn't want to be tariffed there. So it's amazing.

Like we have photos of the, of what was taking place. And so we know that the BRICS block was actually a successful, it was a successful meeting. Here's what President Zelensky is saying right now. Again, this is after Macron and in Italy, Prime Minister of Italy said, no, we're not buying what the United States is selling in terms of their weapons. Zelensky goes, I had a very substantive, hour long conversation with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. We discussed the situation on the front line and Ukraine's urgent defense needs. I'm grateful to Emmanuel for his truly strategic vision and his readiness to help with exactly what our warriors require. We also spoke in detail about strengthening Ukraine's air defense. I would especially like to highlight our agreement on pilot training for Mirage jets. France is ready to train additional pilots using additional aircraft. I could go on, but I want you to understand the diplomatic message behind the scene and why this was so significant. So when France said it's not buying from the United States, France is going to Ukraine and saying, look, we know that Donald Trump's not giving you the Patriot missiles and everything that you were promised. We're going to step up, we're going to do this for you. And even though Macron's not, even though Zelinsky is mentioning Macron and is not mentioning Trump or we haven't gotten the missiles, I just want to let you know the message being sent there is we're getting right now what's needed from France and hey, rest of Europe. Germany, you may want to start looking more to France versus really believing that you're going to get any of these weapons from Donald Trump. He's just going to string you along. And I think Frederick Mertz, I think, you know, understands that the prime Minister of Germany, I think he, the Chancellor of Germany, rather, I think the prime minister of the uk, Keir Starmer, understands that as well. Look, there was a major meeting between United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Frederick Merz this past week. This was one of the after signing the first UK German treaty since World War II. So you have the first UK German treaty since World war II, defense treaty and an economic treaty, an actual deal taking place between UK which left the European Union and Brexit and Germany. I just want you to see how the world is coming together as Donald Trump looks weaker. Here, play this clip.
- [09:41]
Keir Starmer
And that is why earlier today we did something genuinely unprecedented, building on our new agreement with the eu. Together we signed the Kensington Treaty, the first ever major bilateral treaty between the United Kingdom and Germany, two great modern European nations. It's an expression of our shared aims and values. But more than that, it's a practical work plan setting out 17 major projects where we will come together to deliver real results which will improve people's lives. So a historic treaty, a statement of intent and ambition. And we intend to do, amongst other things, as leading NATO powers in Europe committing not only to our mutual defence, but also to maximize the benefits of our defence spending in the shape of more jobs, more growth and more security. Under this treaty, we will bring our industries together to boost defence exports by billions of pounds and will speed up collaboration on high tech weapons and equipment, strengthening NATO and keeping our people safe. Our economic links already support half a million British jobs. So under this treaty we will go further with Egate access for frequent business travelers. I know that's something very popular here. A direct rail link and a new UK Germany business forum to boost investment.

Now let's talk about some other developments that are happening as well over this past week. You have the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. He's in China where he was meeting with the leadership there, strengthening the trade relationship in the national interest of Australia between Australia and China. And here you'll hear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese say that the most important trade partner for Australia in the national interest of Australia accounts for 25% of trade is with China. I mean, it's true, but it is an astonishing statement to make like that publicly given how close the United States and Australia once were. It's sad. As an American, you know, I love the Midas down under, the Midas mates. But I understand what Anthony Albanese is doing here. You know, like all countries, they're creating a and building alliances as Donald Trump's cowering here. Play this clip.
- [13:37]
Anthony Albanese
I'm here in Shanghai, China, supporting Australian businesses, supporting Australian jobs and supporting our economy. We know that one in four of Australia's jobs depends upon free and fair trade. And our biggest export partner is China. So here I've brought a whole range of businesses with us from the resources sector, tourism and education, all engaging with China in a constructive way in order to, to boost our economic benefit. Engaging with China is in our interests to build a stable and secure region here over the next few days. What I'm doing is building on that relationship to the benefit of Australian jobs and the Australian economy.
- [14:25]
Host
And here's another clip of Albanese. Let's play it.
- [14:28]
Anthony Albanese
One in four of Australian jobs depends upon our trade. And our most important trading partner is China. We have worked very hard to stabilize the relationship that has brought benefits with over $20 billion of trade resuming. We signed agreements for further two way trade. And in addition to that, we agreed on the promotion of two way tourism as well.

Now, one of the things that we saw as well in the United States is that prices are surging. Inflation is surging again. I know Donald Trump saying, oh, no, it's not surging at all. I've defeated inflation. That's not the case. And if y' all look at like coffee, orange juice, beef, you know, a lot of, a lot of groceries and a lot of, and a lot of things, the prices are significantly higher, you know, and Donald Trump's trade war against the world is having a real impact here. So one of the places Donald Trump attacked is Brazil. Brazil's President Lula, he described when this week when he got this letter from Donald Trump and he almost didn't believe the letter was real. He goes, I thought it was fake news. I thought I was getting fake news. I couldn't believe this letter was true. Here, play this clip.
- [15:45]
Lula da Silva
To make a decision and publish on the newspaper. That's not right. That's impossible. And now President Trump to write a letter and putting as a condition a precondition for negotiation.
- [15:55]
Anthony Albanese
No.
- [15:57]
Lula da Silva
And that's very discretionary. I can't even believe in that. When I read the letter, I thought it was fake news. When I saw the letter through the media and then I thought it was a true letter that was signed by President Trump. So I can reassure you that Brazil, in the right moment, will give the right answer to President Trump's letter. And in my address to the Brazilian people, I'm going to tell the Brazilian people what I'm thinking about all this. And sincerely, I can reassure you that Brazil, Brazil does not enjoy troublemakers and trouble. Brazil likes to negotiate in peace. And that's how I act. And I think that's how all presidents should act. And this is, I think, about President Trump, too. That's that Brazil is an historic ally of the U.S. brazil praises the economic relations that Brazil has with the US But Brazil will not accept anything imposed on him on the country. We accept negotiation and not imposition.
- [16:59]
Host
And here Lula's like, you know, Donald Trump could have called me. He could have picked up the phone and said, what's up? And we could have talked this out and been adults about it. But he sends me this weird letter saying that he's imposing 50% tariffs and saying that I need to somehow get involved in the trial of Jair Bolsonaro, an insurrectionist criminal. Why would I get involved? Here, play this clip.
- [17:23]
Brazilian Official
Trump could have called Brazil to tell about the measures he was going to take. He didn't even send a letter. We didn't receive a letter. He posted on his website a complete lack of respect, which is typical of his behavior toward everyone. And I'm not obligated to accept this disrespectful behavior between heads of state, especially those with the largest export volumes, orange juice, steel, Embraer, which exports heavily to the United States, to talk, to, see what their situation is. We will try to conduct every possible negotiation process. Brazil likes to negotiate. Brazil dislikes litigation. And if negotiations are exhaustive, Brazil will apply the law of reciprocity. And I hope that business leaders will align with the Brazilian government. His letter through the website begins by saying that the witch hunts must stop. This is unacceptable. Firstly, because there is justice and we are conducting a process with the right to the presumption of innocence for the victim. I myself will seek new markets for Brazilian products. That's my role, including telling business people, let's open new markets together. Because it's not easy for him to just tax others. It will also have consequences in the United States.

So do you see fundamentally the shifts that are taking place in the world? And of course, I gotta give a shout out to our friends up north here, the maple Midas in Canada. And you have Prime Minister Carney talking about, look, Canada's gotta look more towards Canada, Europe, Australia and to commonwealth nations and elsewhere. And it's time to build. You know, he talks about Canada, and by the way, his approval rating right now is close to 70%. Prime Minister Carney, that Canada can be in an economic golden age right now. Here, play this clip.

Canadian Prime Minister
Canada has what the world needs. We're becoming an energy superpower. And we are a leader in the building blocks of a modern economy. From high value added steel to aluminum to critical minerals and artificial intelligence. And Canadians have just given governments the mandate to build big things, nation building projects that will transform our economy. We have the potential to become our own best customer for steel, but we will lose that ability if we don't manage the profound transformation now underway in the industry. And to do that, we have to change the way we do things so we can better support our companies and our workers during this time of change.

Here's what he also posted as well. Good to speak with President Sheinbaum of Mexico. Yesterday even brought the soccer ball she gifted me at the G7 to work for the occasion. Looking forward to work ahead together, including co hosting the FIFA World cup in 2026. I also read that as a jab against the United States and against Trump as well. You know, basically saying we don't know what the hell is going to happen with our crazy neighbor to the south or in Mexico to the north. Like we need to be prepared. Canada and Mexico, we may be the only ones hosting this thing when all is, when all is said and done because of how terrible the conditions are becoming in the U.S. i mean, are people going to travel here, worry they're going to end up in concentration camps that we have throughout the United States right now? I mean, seriously, a few other points I want to bring up as well. I mentioned Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil. There was a worry that he was trying to flee the country as Donald Trump was basically calling for him to not be criminally prosecuted. So he's now banned from speaking to foreign leaders. They banned Jair Bolsonaro from speaking to foreign leaders. And also Indonesia, remember, Donald Trump announced at the beginning of this week that he had a deal with Indonesia. I did a great trade deal with Indonesia. Well, now Indonesia saying no you didn't. There's still negotiations taking place. There's no, we don't have a deal. China's GDP grew, what, 5.3% in the second quarter. I want to show you all of these touch points. France and Italy, you know, saying we're not buying from the United States. I want to show you the, the treaty between the UK And Germany for economic the deal. I want to show you Australia, their prime minister going to China. I want to, I want to show you the links of what's happening behind the scenes right now because there's a clear picture developing as the US is getting weaker hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million.
