Donald Trump is panicking as Vladimir Putin is conducting very threatening nu...

today.

β€œPutin has announced joint nuclear force drills between Russia and Belarus, according to Putin”

the two countries armies are now practicing nuclear command operations during these exercises

and they're showing what it would look like to carry out launches of nuclear weapons using ballistic and cruise missiles combined. Vladimir Putin is saying that nuclear weapons remain a last resort, but due to growing global tension, Russia must rate retain its readiness of its nuclear forces. Of course, this directly follows Putin getting a hero's welcome in Beijing where he

met with Xi Jinping who unveiled at a museum right there in Beijing, an exhibit called Unbreakable Alliance with massive portraits of Putin and Xi Jinping. You see right here some additional information about this exercise and the video that the

Russians put out about this exercise that involved over 64,000 Russian and Belarusian troops

β€œmore than 7,800 pieces of military equipment, including around 200 missile launchers.”

Russia currently has about 320 launchers in total and I don't want you to forget the fact that a few months back Donald Trump said that the U.S. will be engaged in nuclear testing, indicating that it could take place in Nevada or New Mexico. And there was a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity, what Donald Trump meant by that. Also when Donald Trump said that he was going to completely blow up all of Iran, that

also made many of our allies believe that he was talking about nuclear weapons and perhaps dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran. There's reporting today from Reuters that a lot of our allies reached out to the state department when Trump was making those statements about whether Trump was thinking of launching a nuke on Iran and then the state department and the Defense Department refused to answer

to our allies what Donald Trump even meant by that. I'm going to show you what Donald Trump's doing in the oval office because you can see he's becoming completely unglude at this point. But Putin also said the following during his speech earlier today. The use of nuclear weapons is an extreme and exceptional measure to ensure the national

security of our states at the same time, given the growing tension in the world and the emergence of new threats and risks are nuclear triad as before, must serve as a reliable guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union state of Russia and Belarus in sure strategic deterrence and maintain nuclear parity and global balance of power. And Belarus's leader, Lukashenko says we are absolutely not threatening anyone, but we

have nuclear weapons and we are ready in every possible way to defend our homeland is what he's saying. So clearly threats there. So what's Donald Trump's response to that? Well, actually yesterday, Donald Trump demanded that Ukraine helped the United States

by easing restrictions on Belarus's patash fertilizers. Is Zelensky, can you reach out to Europe and tell them not to sanction Belarus for their

β€œpatash because Putin and Lukashenko really want to sell their fertilizer?”

By the way, what's going on right now is that fertilizer prices for American farmers and wholesalers right now. It's up like 40% because a lot of the fertilizer material comes from the Middle East and the straightive removes being closed is absolutely crushing our farmers. And so we have that going on right now.

Now, Zelensky is also reporting some of these moves by Putin as Donald Trump continues to live sanctions against our Russian oil and continues to do his best to help our Russia. We have additional visits by Steve Whitkoff, to Russia being announced his seventh visit to hang out with Putin, to be a Putin bootlicker has been announced.

He's been to Russia seven times. He's been to Ukraine zero times. Here's what Zelensky

just posted. I held a staff meeting. We analyzed in detail available data from our intelligence agencies on Russia's planning of offensive operations in the Cherney, keep direction. We are preparing responses in every possible course of enemy action. If the Russians do indeed dare to expand their aggression, our forces in this sector will be increased.

Also, U.S. intelligence is now learning and leaking to CNN and others that Iran has basically

Rebuilt its military faster than expected not not not faster than I expected.

I mean, I thought I thought they were doing it. That's what I've been reporting here.

β€œThey restarted their drone production just weeks after the ceasefire.”

Now U.S. intelligence officials estimate that Iran could restore major drone capabilities within six months despite the U.S. and Israeli strikes. Intelligence also suggests much of Iran's missiles and drone infrastructure survive. We've been reporting that here in the Midas Touch Network. Also earlier today, Iran and Oman continue to discuss the permanent straight of Hormuz transit toll system. We showed you yesterday the Iranian

port authorities maps of its sphere of control over the straight of Hormuz and Iran and Oman working on the types of fees that will be charged to ships if they want to get through the straight of Hormuz with exemptions to allies like Russia and China. Also, according to a release by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Over the past 24 hours, they total of 31 vessels including oil tankers, containerships and other commercial vessels across

the straight of Hormuz with coordination and security provided by the IRGC Navy. You take a look over here as well and just look at some of this data over here. Turkey's slashing its U.S. treasury holdings from $16 billion to $1.8 billion in March. I mean, and they're supposed to be an ally of the United States. I mean, you're seeing a massive global rupture take place as the Trump regime shows utter weakness. So what do they do when they show weakness threatened

another invasion? A Ponzi scheme of invasions Marco Rubio this morning on a tarmac in Miami

talked about invading Cuba. Here's what Rubio had to say, play this clip.

"Like a little bit of use of U.S. force to achieve a change in the Cuban political system as relevant." "Our preference in Cuba and anywhere in the world is an negotiated diplomatic

β€œsettlement." Okay, and that's what I would say to you. The president always has the option to do”

whatever it takes to support and protect the national interests and national security of the United States. He has the option to do that if there's a threat to the national security of the United States. And he has shown his willingness to do that when he... I've got to tell you, I become a big olipop, personally. There is just something satisfying about finding a soda that actually tastes great without feeling like you're drinking a traditional soda loaded with sugar. What had

me originally was, honestly, the flavor, but then I realized olipop is a new kind of soda that combines the classic soda taste with the benefits of a functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. And with high fiber and low sugar, it's become my go-to afternoon pick me up.

And now they've got two new summer flavors that are seriously ridiculous. First,

raspberry sugar, super bright fruity, refreshing taste like summer in a can. It's only 30 calories

β€œwith 6 grams of fiber and 2 grams of sugar. And honestly, it feels like a summer treat. But I also”

love that blackberry vanilla is back. People apparently wouldn't stop asking for it and I get why. You get that tart blackberry flavor with smooth vanilla. It is insanely good. That one's got 50 calories, 9 grams of fiber and 5 grams of sugar and look. 95% of Americans don't get enough daily fiber. So if you could sneak some into something that tastes this good, I am in. Get a free can of olipop right now by any two cans in store and they will pay you back for one. Just go to

drink olipop.com/mitis. You could find olipop in the soda aisle and chilled beverage section at a retailer's nationwide, including Walmart and Target. Donald Trump said that the aircraft carrier now positioned right outside of Cuba is there to help the people and provide humanitarian aid. This was all about helping Cuba, really sending an aircraft carrier out there and blockading Cuba and starving the Cuban people to death is a way to help the people of Cuba.

Again, that's very Putin that's right there, right? As Donald Trump is seeing Putin doing these military drills, his instinct is to show, look, I'm going to throw a tary into your play this clip. Then the White House won't be a very secure place. But then regarding Cuba, there was an aircraft carrier and just arrived there. Just this week, the military carrier. Are you sending out there to the can of the Cuban government? No, not at all. The Cuban people are looking

to fail to country, everybody knows it. They don't have electricity, they don't have money, they don't have really anything, they don't have food and we're going to help them along and we're going to help them because the people, because number one, I want to help them, you don't want to, you're a humanitarian basis, but we have the Cuban American population much of it living in Miami and Florida. Then Donald Trump began in his kind of other paranoia

seeing these military tests, says that look, you know, my golden ballroom, it's going to have a drone port, it's going to have thick bulletproof glass this way it will be a shield that drones try to attack me here play this clip. The ballroom is being a tremendous amount of what's being

Done with respect to the ballroom is financial security, including as an exam...

on top of which was top secret until litigation made it less than top secret. But we have a drone port, we have also we have the glass at four inches thick bulletproof glass, we have bulletproof walls, you need a place like this, but this is being made as a gift for me and other people that are great patriots, it's spent a lot of money, we're building what will be the finest

β€œballroom anywhere in the world, if they want to spend money on securing the White House, I think”

would be very, very much a good expenditure, but the ballroom is being built. Then reporters ask him, you know, what if Congress doesn't sign off on your ballroom at this point? Trump's like,

well, I guess it won't be secure then, here's what he says in the Oval Office moments ago.

If they want to spend money on securing the White House, I think would be very, very much a good expenditure, but the ballroom is being built. What if Congress doesn't sign off of the security monster? Then the White House won't be a very secure place, but at a then regarding Cuba, there was an aircraft carrier. Also, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he's losing control of the United States Senate, since they are, I remember I did a video on this

this morning, voting against him on the slush fund, voting against him on ballroom, voted against

β€œhim on war powers. Here's what he has to say, play this clip. Mr President, with many Americans”

who serve about poor ability ahead of the victims, they're each some backlash from the Senate Republicans to some of the other priorities, the ballroom and anti-weaponization funds. You clearly still have a stronghold in the Republican Party, your candidates did very well just be during the primaries, but aren't you in the United States Senate said, well, not all candidates, but aren't you in the control of the Senate, sir? Are you losing control

of the Senate, Senator Republicans? I don't know, I really don't know. I can tell you, I only do what's right. I don't leave money for the ballroom, you know, I'm making a gift at the ballroom. And finally, he's asked if he's attending his son's wedding, here, let's play this clip. [inaudible]

β€œHe'd like me to go, but it's good to be just a small little private affair and I'm going to try”

and make it. I'm in the midst. I said, you know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called the "ran" and other things. That's when I can't win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don't attend, I get killed. By the fake news, of course, I'm talking about now, but he's got a very personal loan for a low-time and hopefully they're going to have a great marriage. Mr. Mr. President, I actually didn't actually have to admit the argument.

I just actually passed by it. And here's what voters currently think are individuals who

didn't vote in 2024. Just you put this all together and people who are seeing this, who didn't vote in 2024. Here's what they think about Donald Trump. Here's what Harryenton said moments ago. Let's play it. Ones that are changing, that are moving, that are different than the last election. You know, you mentioned the Republican base in your intro and then obviously there's their Democratic opposition. But what about those who didn't cast a ballot at all in 2024? Those who

didn't show up to vote, well, they have become absolutely perturbed. I dare say they are pissed off at the President of the United States. Voters who didn't cast a ballot in 2024. Trump's

never proven ready. Back in November of 2024, just to have the election,

look at his net approval rating was plus four points for his plans in office. But look at that. It is full. Yeah. Whoo! There you go, Sarah Sider. That's the only sound you can make. It is full into the floor. Look at this. Minus 50 points on Trump's net approval rating among voters who did not in fact cast about in 2024. That is, you don't have to be a mathematical genius on over 50 point move against the President of the United States among those who are kind of like

me, you know, in terms of voting in 2024. But now they are pissed off. There you have the folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to seven million. Thanks for watching, everybody.
