That's cozyearth.com Spotify Donald Trump continues to humiliate the United States of America and offend our allies in other countries abroad. And he hasn't even taken office yet. I previously reported Donald Trump posting this AI image of himself with a Canadian flag. This comes after Fox reported that during Donald Trump's meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, Donald Trump stated that he wanted to annex Canada and turn Trudeau into a governor. So Donald Trump here, by posting this AI image of himself, is acknowledging the threats that he made to our great ally in Canada. I mean, it's offensive. It's also embarrassing because he's not even in Canada in this photo. He appears to be in Switzerland or Italy. It looks like that's Matterhorn right there and it's not Canada. So is he saying he conquered Switzerland on behalf of Canada? Right here. My good friend and really a legend in the civil rights community in Canada, Akeem Aliyu writes, where are so called leaders when this type of rhetoric is being thrown around? This isn't even political. The lack of pride in our nation and what it stands for is astounding. We as Canadians really need to wake up and understand the gravity of this. Courtesy of our next door neighbor and so called strongest ally. Disgraceful on both sides of the aisle. I do want to address Justin Trudeau's visit to Mar a Lago because a lot of my Canadian friends, and we know we have a lot of Canadian supporters here at the Midas Touch Network, they wanted to make it very clear the magathreat and I hope I said this before, but let me be very clear that the Conservative Party right now in Canada with Pierre Pavo Da and Ford and other Conservative leaders there, they went all in on MAGA saying, Trump's our budget, Trump's our guy, it's okay, Trump's going to help us out. We love Trump is what the Conservative Party was saying over and over again. And now when Donald Trump's mocking Canada, they're all like, ooh, we feel bullied. Oh my gosh. You know, and Justin Trudeau's visit to Mar a Lago, as one person writes, if you're wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons in the country. It's a joke, but it's true at the same time. But also, uh, Justin Trudeau was there to educate Donald Trump on what a tariff even is and the type of commerce that takes place between great allies. Canada and the United States that Donald Trump wants to sever. Now, Donald Trump is attacking our friends. Our biggest trading partner is Mexico or other biggest trading partner is Canada, threatening blanket 25% tariffs on them. And then over the weekend he goes and threatens tariffs on the BRICS bloc, which included Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and other nations as well. And he says that he's going to tariff them 100%. But then he previously said he was going to tariff China an additional 10%. But Russia currently right now is under sanctions where they're not even allowed to trade with the United States of America. So what Trump is saying doesn't even make sense at all. And again, just humiliating himself on the world stage and doing AI pictures of Switzerland and so also offending France, by the way. Right. I don't think France appreciates the fact that a convicted felon is now the ambassador to France. In Charles Kushner, who Donald Trump pardoned in 2020, Jared Kushner's daddy. We've talked about before how Jared Kushner's daddy, Charles pled guilty in 2004, 2005, he was under criminal investigation for federal election violations. His brother in law was one of the key testifying witnesses against him. So what did all Charles Kushner do? Well, of course, the Kushner family specialty, he hired a prostitute to go after his brother in law, then videotaped his brother in law with the prostitute, showed the videotape to his sister in order to witness tamper with his brother in law and then he was charged with that. And then Donald Trump pardoned him in 2020. But oh yes, clutch your pearls everybody and give me your crocodile tears about Hunter Biden. So yes, Donald Trump offending Canada, Donald Trump offending Mexico, Donald Trump offending Switzerland, Donald Trump offending Italy, Donald Trump offending France, Donald Trump attacking Brazil and India. Of course, Donald Trump's attacking China, but it was kind of attack on China and Russia seemed to be a little bit less than the other country. I don't really hear him actually explaining that the R in bricks, notice that he goes bricks but doesn't really say that the R in bricks stands for Russia. But you know, who knows that brick stands for Russia. Of course, take a look, Tucker Carlson, because he announced in a video that just dropped that right now he is in Moscow and he just completed an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov due to Biden's approval on long attacks into Russia, quote, we are closer to nuclear war than any time in history, says Tucker Carlson. Just parroting that Russian propaganda. Great work, Tucker Carlson. Our editor in chief, Ron Philip Kowski writes, but now he represents the foreign policy views of an incoming president instead of merely his treasonous self. By the way, Fox was pushing throughout the day all of this annexation of Canada talk like, oh, he was joking about it. But then when you watch these Fox shows, they look just like, like just format the type of hosts, by the way. I mean, Jesse Waters looks like the announcer from Hunger Games. Like, it's like the same guy. But you know, in the same way the Russian TV hosts for state run media would mock and joke. And then eventually they did it right. They conditioned their people for it by constantly talking about the invasion of Ukraine. That's how Trump sees Canada. And the way the Russian media talked about the annexation of Ukraine and then eventually became an actual invasion. It's kind of like what Fox is doing. So let me just show you these clips right here. I want you to, it's important that you see these. So we're on the same page here. So this is the initial report that came out from Fox where they talked about the meeting where Donald Trump threatened the annexation. Like, oh, he joked about annexation. Here, play this clip.

Brett (9:22)

And tonight we're getting some new details about that Trump Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table. We are told that when Trudeau told President Elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor.

Host 1 (9:49)

Brett, more on that detail with the panel. Peter, thank you. Then Jesse Waters on today's show basically said, look, there's so many reasons why we need to make Canada the 51st state. Here, play this clip.

Jesse Waters (10:07)

And let's just be clear. We're not going to make Canada the 51st state. We'll make it 51 and 52. You make Western Canada, that'll be Republican. Eastern Canada, that'll be Democrat. So you keep the electoral balance there. So many reasons to make this a state. It's the, I think has the third largest oil reserves in the world.

Host 3 (10:27)

Oh, a lot.

Jesse Waters (10:27)

So that makes us an energy behemoth. It's the most well educated country in the world because we need a little help in that department. Talk about mining, agriculture, fishing, AI Tech, real estate, Canada. You name it, they got it. We'll never probably lose another Winter Olympics. We'll have all of their skaters and skiers I mean, good luck Sweden. And they share our cultural heritage, they share our language. It's just a no brainer. Now I don't know if Canada is going to go along with it, but there's ways to maybe change their opinion.

Host 3 (11:04)

Do you want to end it there?

Jesse Waters (11:05)

I'll end it there.

Host 1 (11:06)

Yeah, it's a good idea.

Jesse Waters (11:08)

Minuscule, but that's fine. We'll pay to protect them as a state, but we're doubling the size of the country. America. Think about it.

Host 1 (13:21)

Yep, Republicans refuse to make Washington D.C. a Puerto Rico estate, but are now talking about annexing Canada because Trump joked about it on Thanksgiving. Andrew Weinstein writes, offending France, Canada, Switzerland and Italy in the same week is quite the feed. But Donald Trump is clearly up to the task right there. And I'll just say this. This is some embarrassing stuff. I mean, to go after your top allies, cripple alliances and then go in, then attack brics, moving Brazil and India and South Africa and other countries like that more in the direction of Russia and China when their whole proposition for brics block is that is that America is not reliable. This is haphazard. This is dumb. This is, this is stupid. And I do want to say to my Canadian friends out there who watch this and you've been very clear to me that you view Trudeau's move as a, is what you told me as, as a, as a move in diplomacy and educating Donald Trump and as a way to try to be a buffer from the Magathreat in Canada. I just wanted to make sure I'm reflecting your views. We've been focusing on a lot of international affairs here now on the Midas Touch network, of course, I think it's some of the most important pieces of information. I think it's way more important than the Hunter Biden pardon. Tell by my coverage. But I want to make sure that I'm adequately addressing the subtleties in international relations. Because, you know, I shouldn't. I shouldn't. I should make sure I reflect on what people from Canada are saying to me. I take what you take, I take what you say very seriously.
