You've been doing this for the whole time, and then you've been in the mood.

No, not at all. I'm so sorry, my taste base. You're all right, right?

Yes, exactly. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I just understand.

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. With what? I'm sorry. As you've already heard, the Anzeigum Anzeig.

That's a lot to tell. Stop, come out of the recruiting spiral. With Stepstown All-Jobs, you've become an Anzeigum for a year. In one package, for a fixed price.

So, you've got 75% cost-probe values, and you're always flexible.

Now, let's move on to Stepstown.de/All-Jobs. Stepstown, simply the right talent for all-Jobs. Mama, how do you feel the big love for me? Hmm, so what? And so creamy.

Hey, how can a pack of cream be mine? Nutella, or from Mama's and father-in-law? Nutella is Nutella. All hell is breaking loose across the entire world, as Donald Trump's disastrous war in Iran is backfiring,

and it is impacting everything, furious world leaders who were allied with the United States, whether it was French president, Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister, Kier, Starmer of the UK, Prime Minister, Carnegie of Canada,

the Prime Minister of Spain, you name it,

they are calling out the Trump regime in no uncertain terms. Donald Trump is then mocking these other countries when we need them the most. Let me share with you what is going on throughout the world. French president Emmanuel Macron said that the US is rally strikes

on Iran, that began over this weekend, and killed the country's supreme leader, were conducted, quote, "outside of international law," and that France, quote, "can not approve them," and that France will not engage in any offensive measures

at this time with the United States, Prime Minister Kier, Starmer of the United Kingdom, said, quote, "I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. This is not what they would expect and deserve.

They are entitled to better than them." The Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, signaled that Poland intends to eventually obtain its own nuclear weapons, as Europe strengthens its deterrence, amid doubts, big doubts,

that the US will ever be there to help them, again, Georgia Maloney, the Italian Prime Minister, is saying it is clear to Italy and Europe that without restoring the rule of law that has been destroyed in Ukraine,

the chaos will only escalate, but specifically, we're seeing leaders throughout Europe, Canada, and elsewhere, talking about how the chaos that is being demonstrated here comes from a breakdown of the rule of law

and order throughout the world that Donald Trump has destroyed. The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the following about Iran.

Today, more than ever, it's essential to remember

that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time, be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention,

outside of international law. That one must be against a war initiated without authorization of the United States Congress or the United Nations Security Council. And as I have said before,

one that violates international law.

And there was always room for a negotiated solution

instead of being dragged along by the devastation of arms as the only possible way out. Therefore, I would like once again, as we have done since the beginning, to appeal for immediate de-escalation

for full respect of international law. In all the conflicts, we are unfortunately suffering. And for the urgency of resuming dialogue as soon as possible, that is where Spain will be,

and that is where I believe the whole of the European Union

should be Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada who's been visiting India is in Sydney right now. He's been visiting all of, he's been visiting taking a trip throughout the globe. He's saying that the following, here's his statement,

the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order. The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada.

And he does say, well, Canada has to be involved

Help out now with regret,

which is an odd statement for him to make,

but he called out the United States there as well.

In response, Donald Trump has been attacking these world leaders who you would think, if you start a war like this, and a war on a world scale, you would want allies, or you would try to figure out how to gather support, not Donald Trump,

Donald Trump attacked Prime Minister Kier, Starmer yesterday during a oval office press conference with Germany's Chancellor Frederick Merz, Donald Trump said, "Starmer is no Churchill," by the way, that's the front page,

of the Dally telegraph now, Donald Trump attacking Kier, Starmer is no Churchill. U.S. President attacks Prime Minister over the lack of support for Iran, more saying that Starmer is ruining our relationship

and he's ruining the great relationship

between the United States and the UK. Donald Trump is also threatening embargoes against Spain for the statement that I just read for you from the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, and then Donald Trump says,

"I don't care that Spain is saying that we can't use their bases. We will do whatever we want to do. We'll just, literally, quote from Donald Trump, "We could just fly in and use it.

Nobody's gonna tell us what to do.

I think we should cut off all trade with Spain."

Isn't that right? And then Donald Trump asks all of his Epstein class advisors if we should cut off any type of trade to Spain. That's what Donald Trump's doing. Let me just show you some clips of what these leaders said.

Let me show you Trump's response. Then I wanna talk about what's going on elsewhere in the world. Here is what Prime Minister Karney said. You can hear it for yourself. Let's play it.

- We support efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threat and international peace and security. Because Canada is taking the world as it is

a passively waiting for a world we wish to be. We do, however, take this position with regret because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order.

Despite decades of UN Security Council resolutions, the tireless work of the international atomic energy, agency in the succession of sanctions and diplomatic frameworks, Iran's nuclear threat remains. And now, United States and Israel have acted

without engaging United Nations or consulting allies including Canada. So where to from here? With a rapidly spreading conflict and growing threats to civilian life.

- Canada reaffirms that international law binds all religions. We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East. And we implore all parties including the United States and Israel to respect the rules of international engagement.

Canada calls for a rapid de-escalation of hostilities and is prepared to assist in achieving this goal. - And here is what Kier Starmer said, the Prime Minister of the UK, you can hear it for yourself right here.

- I'm exposing our military personnel to action that risks their lives, making sure that it is lawful before we ask them to do that. I think that is the duty of the Prime Minister's previous Prime Minister to take an exact the same approach.

I would, of course, read the shadow attorneys advice, but I'm very clear in the advice that I received. And I will not commit. I will not commit to our military personnel to unlawful action.

That is not what they would expect and they are entitled to better than that. - This was Donald Trump yesterday saying that he was not happy with the UK. He said, this is not Winston Churchill

we're dealing with.

That's how he's attacking the Prime Minister of the UK.

Here's what he says, you're playing this clip.

(audience laughing) - And I'm not, by the way, I'm not happy with the UK either. That island that you read about the lease, you know, he made it for whatever reason.

He made a lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away from them. And it's taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land there. There would have been much more convenient landing.

There's supposed to be flying many extra hours. So we are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with. (audience laughing) - Here's Donald Trump attacking the Prime Minister

of Spain yesterday, let's play it. - But some of the European like Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all

Dealing with Spain first of all.

It started whenever European nation

that my request paid 5% which they should be doing.

And everybody was enthusiastic about a Germany, everybody, and Spain didn't do it. And now Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's alright, we could use their bases. We want we could just fly in and use it.

Nobody's going to tell us not to use it. But we don't have to, but they were unfriendly. And so I told them, we don't want to, Spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people.

They have great people. But they don't have great leadership. And as you know, they were the only country that a NATO would not agree to go up to 5%. I don't think they would agree to go up to anything.

They wanted to keep it at 2%. And they don't pay the 2%. So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain. (audience laughing)

- More from Donald Trump attacking the Prime Minister's Spain. - As the right to stop sort of interested, after the right to stop, but under that one law, I didn't have the right to charge him. So I have the right to license them,

but I don't have the right to charge, which is frankly ridiculous. But the right was given to us by the Supreme Court. And we have the right as an example, we talked about Spain.

I could tomorrow stop or today, even better. Stop everything, having to do with Spain. All business, having to do with Spain, have the right to stop it. Embargoes, do anything I want with it.

And we may do that with Spain. What do you think? - Well, sir, I think we're going to talk about it with you. I don't think you have strong power. We're going to talk about it with you.

And you know, you can use it, and if you need to use it

to share national economics care, we'll do it. - Scott, do you have an opinion? - Sir, I agree. The Supreme Court reaffirmed your ability. They have to implement it in embargo.

And as we've talked, from your first term, the Section 301s and the 2302s of what held more than 4,000 lawsuits and USTR and commerce are going to begin investigations. And we'll move forward with those.

- And we've instituted the 15% tariff on everybody, as you know. And just used it. I'll tell you, we had a couple of paragraphs written

in that opinion that we're really incredible.

as it impacts inside a U.S. facility right there, another shy, he drone striking a U.S. base right there. And we had all these images. I did a video this morning, right? Where I showed you the CIA headquarters

in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia being hit by drones, the U.S. consulate and Dubai being hit by drones, the United States air base in Qatar being hit by Iranian drones. And as I mentioned at the outset too, war is spreading though throughout the entire world.

Everyone is being impacted right now by Donald Trump's

Disastrous behavior and conduct.

Did you know that the United States is in a war in Ecuador right now?

Did you know that the United States Southern command

posted the following on March 3rd? Ecuadorian, this is what they just posted yesterday. On March 3rd, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against designated terrorist

organizations in Ecuador, the operations are a powerful

example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narcoterrorism, so you know how the United States was and has been shooting these fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean and also in the Pacific.

And we've been reporting how a lot of these fishing boats are not narcoterrorists. It's the Trump regime like killing fishermen and there's like a lot of evidence to suggest these are not narcoterrorists and in any event, Donald Trump

released one of the biggest narcoterrorist waterland or Hernandez who was running a narcostate out of Honduras. It literally shipped massive amounts of cocaine and other drugs into the United States

was convicted in federal court in the United States

and Donald Trump pardon that guy.

This isn't about narcoterrorism. So what's going on now in Ecuador? Well, Donald Trump is very close with the president of Ecuador, a guy named Daniel Naboa and Naboa hangs out at Mara Logo. Naboa's family owns the Naboa corporation.

And there were allegations that his family's banana export business, the Naboa trading company, was used in some instances to smuggle cocaine off and hidden in banana containers bound for Europe, the Balkans, Croatia, and Italy.

This was allegations. Let's be clear, the Naboa family denies it. Investigative journalism from outlets like OCCRP, organized crime and corruption reporting project in collaboration with others documented multiple large cocaine

seizures worth millions in Naboa trading ship

in between 2020 and 2022 encrypted chats from alleged Balkan traffickers claimed exclusive rights to use those containers for smuggling and again, the Naboa family denies all of this. But in any event, Trump and Naboa are launching these missions

on the ground. We have boots on the ground in Ecuador right now. I just want you to know that. And there is chaos everywhere in the world right now. I mean, we go from the Middle East to Ecuador.

Why don't we take you to Japan? Major Japanese shipping companies have stopped their ships from transiting through the strait of her muse, following the US and Israeli tax on Iran. There are concerns that long-term disruptions

will really harm Japan's oil supply. It's impacting other Asian countries as well. South Korea being severely impacted. You can see on this chart right here how East Asia is particularly highly exposed to the disruption

of oil exports in the strait of her muse. You can see the picture right here. The Japanese government has stayed in that they have 254 days of oil reserves left on an emergency basis, and if the strait of his Jeffrey Hall explains,

if the strait of her muse is closed for an extended period, due to the ongoing war, it could be a very serious problem for Japan's economy.

That's why we saw Japan's main index crash,

South Korea stock market crashing as well. And I mean, South Korea's main market dropped like 12% yesterday. Donald Trump finding the way to profit off of all of this as well. Remember when Donald Trump posted yesterday, the following effective immediately,

I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide a very reasonable price. Political risk insurance and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade especially energy traveling through the Gulf.

This will be available to all shipping lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the strait of her muse as soon as possible. No matter what the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world, the United States economic

and military might as the greatest on earth, more actions to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Everyone Donald Trump posted that. Well, as Congress member, Joaquin Castro points out,

the president just announced that the United States government will provide insurance and US Navy escort for oil tankers in the Middle East after causing a regional crisis by going to war with Iran. Very few of any of these tankers are coming to the United States.

The single biggest buyer of crude oil from the Persian Gulf is China, also you saw Japan, South Korea and others, as much as 40%. So this certainly looks like the United States

Will be subsidizing and protecting oil shipments to China

and elsewhere.

And again, Trump says we're going to be sending

naval ships now into the strait of her muse

and also offering insurance. So we're going to now send our troops into harm way into harm's way for some pay for play. Scheme right here is, is this, is that? Is that what's going on?

And I'll point this out as well as Brett Brewen writes, I've done evacuations and extractions of Americans and war zones. It is so highly irresponsible to do with the Trump regime just did, to tell people they need to leave

all of the Middle East, the Trump regime, state departments, and everybody in the Middle East get out. When missiles are falling without providing them the necessary security to actually get out, it creates chaos and confusion.

Ultimately, it can put our citizens in greater danger.

And that's what the Trump regime is doing there.

I'll point out some more things as well that I think are worth pointing out here. The United States, meddling with the Iraqi election. So the Iraqi coordination framework voted yesterday to withdraw the nomination of Nuri Al Malikki,

the Iraqi politician and former prime minister for the role of prime minister, according to local news, the vote took place without Malikki, whose nomination suffered from intense pressure from the U.S. due to his close ties

to Iranian principal decision makers. The current prime minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, who is not seen by U.S. decision makers as a subordinate to Iranian interests in the same way Malikki is currently at the top

of the list as a potential consensus candidate. So the U.S. putting in someone in Iran, who, I mean, sorry, putting someone in Iraq, who's less friendly with Iran. And as I've been saying, what's happening

in the Middle East right now is all of these sectarian issues that Sunni versus Shiai, all of the things we've seen, so that we're at playing all of these forever wars on a Middle East wide basis Donald Trump is provoking right now. And Trump's response now is to have the CIA arm Kurdish forces

who the United States has betrayed over and over again, and demand or ask the Kurdish forces to now invade Iran and to help the United States in the war in Iran.

We do you think that's what's going to go on.

And then there was reports by Reuters that the United States has drafted and indictment the DOJ has drafted an indictment against Donald Trump's buddy, Delcy Rodriguez from the Maduro regime who's now leading Venezuela,

that's Donald Trump's little authoritarian student in Venezuela who's helping Donald Trump sell oil and move the money to Qatari bank accounts. And Donald Trump wants to hold this indictment over Delcy Rodriguez' head that if ultimately you don't do what I want with the oil for me,

I'm going to indict you, but then Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney turned number two at the Department of Justice Todd Blanche says that's completely false. Not sure how such fake news makes its way to publication, but we know the Trump regime lies about absolutely everything. That's your update on world events.
