You can eat every day at the other and at home. You can eat when it's too cold. And if you can't eat, you can eat like us. That's what you want to eat.
βAnd with credit, that's what we're going to eat.β
I want to eat time-credit on my own. I want to eat time-credit on my own. Furious world leaders are ghosting Donald Trump.
They are cutting him out and disinviting him from critical meetings.
We saw in France a meeting that was led by French President Emmanuel Macron. And Prime Minister Kier, Starmer of the UK. And 50 other nations. And they specifically refuse to invite Donald Trump in the United States to send a message.
Get the hell out of here. The United States is not our friend anymore. We do not want you to meet here. You are a bunch of war criminals. Also, in attendance and leading this meeting,
βyou had the German chancellor, Frederick Merritts,β
and you had Georgia Maloney, the Prime Minister of Italy, rallying 50 countries to come up with strategies regarding the Middle East. Yesterday, his Donald Trump was ranting and raving like a lunatic. And again, defrauding the world and manipulating the markets in the United States that he had reached this grand bargain, this amazing deal with Iran,
where they're opening up the straight of her moves. And American military will work, hand in glove with the Iranian military, quite literally handed glove. And together, they will collect the nuclear dust from the Iranian facilities.
And they will capture the Iranian and bring it back to the United States. And the straight of her moves is open to everybody. And the U.S. will be controlling it. And this is a major victory.
And Iran has agreed that it will never ever again fund his bowl or any
of its proxy groups. Donald Trump says Iran's agreed to everything. They've totally surrendered. It was all false. The European and Gulf states have previously said they don't think
that there's any real meaningful material deal that can be ironed out for the next six months or so. Donald Trump lying about this deal in totality. And in Europe, they were talking about, OK, what can we really do here? Rallying 50 nations from across the world, not just European nation.
Asian countries, African countries, Central America, South America, other European countries, focusing on what they can do together.
And now that the United States is basically not America first.
It is America alone. And America has become this like pariah, bizarre regime.
βSo that's what you have happening in Europe right now.β
At the same time, in Beijing, in China, you had major meetings between leaders from the Middle East, whether it was the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and you had European leaders like French, President, like Prime Minister Sanchez, rather of Spain, meeting with Xi Jinping, and Beijing talking about ways that it will now be a stable, or how it wants to assert itself as a stabilizing force in the Middle East,
and how it will be a stable, a more stabilizing force in Europe than the United States. You have these kind of massive, massive seismic powerships happening, and Donald Trump too dumb to even realize in his manga base, too much in the cult to realize that America has lost all of its hard and soft power across the world right now. So one other meeting I should talk about as well.
You had the Finland president, Alexander Stubb, he was meeting in Canada with Prime Minister Carney, Prime Minister Carney, just was able to get a majority government, the Liberal Party in Canada, has established a majority government in Prime Minister Carney, not just very popular in Canada, but internationally really bringing together countries as part of a multilateralism contrast to Donald Trump's America alone strategy.
We've been talking about this here a lot in the Middle East, and how Prime Minister Carney has been uniting trans-specific relationships with trans-alantic relationships, other words, Asia, with Europe bringing them together for free trade and security agreements, and so it's not a coincidence that you have these Asian meetings happening without the U.S., European meetings happening without the U.S., and then you have the Canadian meeting happening with Stubb,
who is very popular throughout Europe as well, meeting with Carney, all of this is
Interconnected in the U.
U.S.A. weird event, like kissing, Erica Kirk's ear, and being weird, and coming out to weird pyrotechnics, and just spewing nonsense, and talking about things that haven't even happened with Iran while Iran's Parliament leader and Begala Bough and Iran's revolutionary guards like, "Look, everybody, we control this trade for Moestal, like one of these idiots talking
about. Let's bring some receipts. Here's the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb. Here's what
he has to say about America going at a loan, play this clip."
βI think at the end of the day, the United States will find themselves in quite a lonely place.β
I mean, I'm the most pro-American president in Europe. I'm an avid trans-atlanticist. I want the relationship to work, but I fully also realized that, you know, with certain patterns of behavior, there is going to be a feeling of, "Okay, if you treat me like that, I don't feel very good about it." We can see that with European states, we can see it with golf states and many others. So I hope that it's in the interest of the United States, if it wants
to continue to be one of the world-headgements to have close friends now. Then you had over here
Stoltenberg of Norway. Here's what he had to say, play this clip.
My country, Norway is in border Russia. Just on the other side of our land border, you can see the highest concentration of nuclear weapons in the world, missiles, submarines, bombers, and these weapons are not directed that Norway. The United States, but Norway helps the U.S. to monitor, to track the submarines, to share intelligence, and to give you early warning, and to tell exactly what the Russians are doing. This is part of the U.S. homeland defense
provided by NATO ally, Norway, and there are many other similar examples. So the U.S. is safer with the strong NATO, and therefore expect the news will continue to be committed to NATO. Just so you see the perspective of how CNN international is covering that meeting I was referring to in France. Let's play this clip. This was a meeting that was initially proposed by the British and the French, but then also attracted a day in presence. They were actually here in Paris,
the Italian leader, and the German leader. But there were some 50 participants in it. Many remotely, they were global organizations, but some 30 heads of state or government.
βAnd that's important, because it wasn't just Europeans. What we're talking about are the leadersβ
of from Latin America through the Middle East to the Indo-Pacific. Those parts of the world that were not peninsula into this case that are not directly involved in the war, but have been on the front line of its effect. So if it's impact, and so they came together to try and put together, and they've been talking about this for some weeks, this coalition to ensure that navigation can stay open on the state of the United States. The idea is that they want no blockade,
they want no tolls, and they want the end of fighting. A ceasefire allowing them to mount this mission with the help of the ships of France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy, in order to carry out minesweeping operations. Now, crucially, only once a ceasefire has been trucked, then this announcement of the lifting on the Iranian side of the blockade and all the hope that it has brought. But what the French president wanted to keep front and centre was the need
βfor prudence, because we've seen so many times before, at moments of the glimmer of hope,β
disappointment, then, of the face of the maximumist demands of the United States, the transigence of the Iranians, and the continued frustration of the rest of the world, face with this, the idea here was to try and do something about it without being in those involved directly. All right, quick question. Have you ever actually been excited to do laundry because it was
usually the last thing I wanted to do until now? I started using laundry sauce and the first
thing I thought when I pulled my clothes out of the dryer was, what is that smell? No, in a good way. Like, this doesn't smell like detergent, it smells like kelone. My personal favorite right now is the Australian sandalwood, just clean it rich, and it actually lasts all day. You put on a shirt in the morning, and you still smell it later. And the pods super easy, pre-measured, no guesswork, just toss it in, and you are done. Plus, they actually work. I'm talking stains from coffee, food, whatever, you don't even
think about it. It just comes out clean. It's time for some spring cleaning. When it comes to the scent of your laundry, it shouldn't smell like the same thing you used to disinfect your bathroom.

best day of the week. Meanwhile, the meeting are referred to in China, Al Jazeera talks about it here, play this clip. Highstakes diplomacy in Beijing. President Xi Jinping met Abu Dhabi Crown Prince, Khaled Benzayat, deepening ties with the Gulf partner. They pledged greater cooperation in technology, energy and trade as the war in Iran disrupts global oil and gas flows. The historic changes
are unfolding in ways never seen before. Humans decide a face as a choice between peace and war,
unity or confrontation. Our leader, Xi welcomed Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, both called for the defense of multilateralism in what they described as an increasingly unstable world. Sanchez urged China to play a big role in resolving global conflicts, including in Iran. "I find it very difficult to imagine any other interlocutors about from China that could resolve the situation." He is among the world leaders, hoping Beijing will use its close ties with
Tehran to push for further talks and prevent further escalation. Officials say China is doing what it can to restore peace, one is spoke to Pakistan's Foreign Minister on Monday, after negotiations in Islamabad failed and is hosting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Loverov this week. Beijing has denied allegations that it supplied Iran with weapons and condemned the U.S. blockade Iranian ports. This is a dangerous and irresponsible act. China believes only a comprehensive
ceasefire can fundamentally ease tensions. Now, all of that was taking place. You had Treasury Secretary Scott Besant continuing to extend the lifting of sanctions against Russia in the dark of night. On Friday night, Besant extended the revocation of sanctions against Russian oil allowing Russia to continue to sell its loyal extending the removal of those sanctions. Again, just delivering more gifts to Vladimir Putin right now because Donald Trump is, indeed,
a Putin bootlicker. So you had that taking place in meanwhile. You had his colleague, Comer Secretary Howard Lutnik attacking Canada and saying, "Oh, Canada sucks and how dare Canada not purchase F-35s and just trying to wait us out and not entering into deals with us. How dare Canada?" Really? I mean, Donald Trump's been threatening to turn it into the 51st state. He's declared a trade war and Canada is being smart, but you can see how this is getting under Lutnik's skin.
Here, play this clip. The time is on our side because the pressures on the U.S. are only getting increased over time. Basically, you guys are in political trouble. The longer they wait, the better a deal you're going to have to do. Good for them. That is like the worst strategy I've ever heard. They suck. They look. We are a 30 trillion dollar economy, right? We are the consumer of the world, okay? Corny has a problem with us. He gets on a plane and he goes to China. Does he think China's
βthe Chinese economy is going to buy his stuff? China isn't entirely export driven economy, right?β
So, what do you do? He came back and said, "Oh, we'll take their electric cars." I mean, is this nuts? Well, this is taking place. You have Zelensky, Ukraine going to the Middle East as
well, making critical deals and security deals with the Middle East. He was actually at the end
of last week in the Netherlands, and he signed a long-term defense cooperation in the Netherlands. Here, let's play this clip right here.
Or rather, you have Zelensky in the Netherlands.
what Zelensky had to say. Let's play this clip. It's important that predator on Russia continues sanctions
βand all other restrictions, but it's just as important that Russia is held accountable forβ
this aggression, legally and practice. And that Russian war criminals do not enjoy normal life,
but face fair sentences. This is necessary. Just as it was necessary after the Second World War.
And this is what we are doing here in Europe. Here, in the Netherlands, we are working to launch the tribunal for Russia's aggression against Ukraine. And I thank you for your help. We are working to ensure that the international legal system is formed and uncompromising toward Russian war criminals. Please support this and please remember. All freedoms are fragile without the most basic freedom, freedom from ruins, without basic security. And when those who start wars feel no accountability.
So do not let Russia go unpunished. Now contrast that to what was going on in the White House where you had King William Alexander and Queen Maximum of the Netherlands. They visited the White House just to try to see if there could be any semblance of normalcy there and hinting to their wasn't, you could play this clip right here. In this as they are gathering for this now photo opportunity, the King and Queen of the kingdom
of the Netherlands at the White House. Meanwhile, you had General Patreis, retired General, United States, retired General. Here's how he describes kind of the Gulf States and the United States really desperately needing Ukraine's help at this point. Play this clip. Well, what it does is it provides validation for the whole world of what Ukraine has achieved. Again, when the Gulf States and in some cases US military have had some challenges in
βcountering the Shahead drones sent to them in the Gulf region, who did they call?β
Keith. Why is that because Keith has demonstrated the best ability in the world to conduct counter-drawn operations? And so I thought it was a master stroke. It was genius for President Zelensky to go to the Middle East when these countries are under attack just as is Ukraine every night. And to bring expertise and bring drone interceptors to help these countries defend against the same kind of drones that were given to Russia that have provided so much damage to Ukraine.
But with Ukraine now intercepting at least 90 percent of those drones in a very impressive manner.
And then you had Georgia Maloney who was very critical of Donald Trump's attacks on
the Pope and Trump and Israel's supportive attacks on Lebanon. Here, Georgia Maloney talks about
βreally important topic supporting Ukraine. Let's play this clip.β
We believe that supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty, but also a strategic necessity, because at stake are not only the dignity, freedom and independence of Kiev, but also the security of Europe in the broadest sense of the term. Italy will continue to promote within the G7 and the European Union economic pressure on the Russian Federation, which continues to show no concrete signs in the negotiation process,
persists in attacks against civilians, continues to target infrastructure essential to the
population.
