Furious world leaders are kicking Donald Trump out finally for good.

World leaders are saying stay the hell away from future discussions regarding regional security in the Middle East. Go and negotiate your surrender document with Iran Donald Rubio Vance and stay the hell away from what will be happening in the future of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia refusing to meet with Marco Rubio when Rubio has taken this trip to the Middle

East in order to try to beg the Middle East countries like the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and others to keep American military bases in the region. MBS, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, didn't even want to be photographed or meet with Marco Rubio, which is notable because Saudi Arabia is usually the first destination when Rubio or Donald Trump heads to the Middle East.

Instead what's taking place, well, Qatar has announced that there will be reconciliation discussions with Iran that will be taking place soon, Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council in order to mend relationships and develop a new security architecture for the region since the United States security umbrella has utterly failed.

You have key business leaders and political leaders, even in the UAE, saying we were betrayed

by the Trump regime as noted MBS and the Saudi Arabia officials don't even want to meet with the United States. The Trump regime is sending a very panicked Marco Rubio to the region to try to beg as I noted to keep American military bases there and it is not going well.

Rubio continues to misrepresent the terms that are within the memorandum of u...

Iran realizes exactly what Rubio was trying to do.

Rubio was trying to undermine a meeting that has now set to take place between the Gulf

Cooperation Council countries and Iran and Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson has called out the United States yet again for their antics and earlier yesterday, foreign minister Iraq, chief of Iran spoke with his counterpart the foreign minister Al-Sad of Saudi Arabia. Let's go through with the receipts, what's happening here because I know a lot of discussion is around the United States and Iran technical talks arising out of the memorandum of

understanding. While the Middle East countries recognize that is a document of surrender by the United States, they also realize and they've clinically diagnosed Donald Trump essentially as a psychopath. So they know that the MOU is very fragile.

They know that Donald Trump never keeps to a contract and never keeps his word.

So these Middle East countries are building a new security architecture designed to fully checkmate and kick out the United States.

So here's what we learned in the past 24 hours, but we've been talking about this development

now for quite some time. So Saudi Arabia is preparing to hold a reconciliation summit as aerial officer in points out between Iran and Gulf Arab states in the wake of Iranian attacks on its neighbors according to AFP, citing a diplomat familiar with the preparations. According to this source, the summit is aimed at restoring relations between Gulf states

Iran and neighboring countries as well. This would be separate from what the United States is negotiating with Iran.

Qatar's Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Al-Derman Al-Fani, says that the Gulf states

and Iran are specifically negotiating a new regional security framework. One that relies less on Washington and more undirect regional cooperation. And again, this would be moving away from the Abraham Accords, which was the US back effort to get Gulf countries allied with Israel under the US security umbrella with US and Israel being a dominant force in the region, and it moves away from that and

a locates power more with the Arab nations and now with Iran. As I'm in Jamil explains for decades, Gulf's security rested on the US umbrella. But after the drone attacks, shipping disruptions, and repeated crises, regional powers are looking for their own arrangements without the United States. The Gulf is moving towards a multi-polar security order that includes Iran.

And they're looking at what's happening right now, even with these purported ceasefire discussions regarding Israel and Lebanon, where Israel continues to say we are not leaving Lebanon. We consider these territories in southern Lebanon to be security zones or pilot zones and from the reporting out of the ceasefire discussions, there was not only no progress made in the Israel and Lebanon discussions, but apparently Netanyahu's regime demanded more territory

inside Lebanon referring to this not as security zones, but we need an addition pilot zones is how Israel is referring to it as in addition, you had a number of developments as well. As Babakvadad explains, in my view, the emerging regional order will increasingly revolve around strategic mutual defense arrangements between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia that Tehran appears to have viewed with interest, plus other members of the Islamabad quartet Egypt

Turkey, with Qatar, Oman and these other Gulf cooperation council states.

And that's why Rubio was going to the UAE to try to undermine what was going on there

and the progress being made there. Now, here in the United States, you had Treasury Secretary Scott Besant referring to the spokesperson from Iran and the messaging coming out of Iran. Besant goes, remember how people talked about Baghdad Bob? Well, now we have Tehran Tim and they're out there just making up lies about what the real

Deal is between the United States and Iran.

in the region and in the world right now because we all can actually read what's in the memorandum of understanding. Treasury Secretary Besant is Baghdad Besant. Donald Trump is way more foolish than Baghdad Bob. This is what the United States has become.

Here's what Besant had to say, let's play this clip.

So when you hear the Iranians, maybe it's the IRGC, with his public relations, saying the UAE inspectors are not coming, the Stradivore Moses closed. All of these things day to day get picked up. Just, what it means is me, it's the same people, a lot of the Hawks in the U.S. who say, you can't believe anything the Iranians say, and much they say it about

the negotiations, right? Like, hopefully even for the negotiations. Remember Baghdad Bob

charmed from Iraq? It's kind of charmed Tim, right? Like, it's just a lot of big talk and what let's just see how this cooks out, but I'm optimistic.

There are certain things that make you feel good, maybe it's celebrating a win,

helping someone out, or just taking a moment for yourself during a busy day. For me lately, it's been cracking open in Oli Pop. Oli Pop is the feel good soda. Delivers that classic soda taste I love, but with six grams of fiber and less sugar than a traditional soda, plus it contains a functional ingredient blend that supports digestive health. And if you're watching the video version right now, you'll notice these refreshed

Oli Pop cans from their six gram fiber line. It's the same Oli Pop I've already loved,

full of flavor and digestive health support, but now the fresh new look that really shows off

the feel good soda inside. I also love that Oli Pop is made with a real ingredient set of thoughtful formulation. There are category defining brand with a mission to impact health at scale, and that's something that I can absolutely get behind. Right now, you can get a free can of Oli Pop by any two cans of Oli Pop in store, and they will pay you back for one. It works on single cans of any flavor at any retailer. Just head to drink Oli Pop dot com slash

mightest that's drink Oli Pop dot com slash mightest mi d a s. You can find Oli Pop in the soda aisle and with the chilled beverages at thousands of retailers nationwide, including Target and Walmart. Now, as I noted, you had Marco Rubio scrambling to the Middle East, where the Saudis didn't even want to meet with him. He went to UAE and Kuwait, and Rubio was asked yesterday. So what do you say about the America security umbrella collapsing? And Rubio's like, well, we've got our bases there.

What are you talking about? We've got our weapons there. That's the whole point, Rubio. These countries don't want you there anymore, here playing this clip. They're real, they're not promises, they're actually. What about what about the conventional capabilities that Iran is going to be able to retain? You make any assurances about the cap on missile or drone capabilities? Well, we're going to be completely aligned with our partners and adults.

That's what I'm meeting with all of them tomorrow. That's why I've taken the strips now.

And as the reason why I'm here, apart from thanking them for the incredible support that gave us throughout this process, we want them to know what we want to reiterate and begin to talk to them and engage them on conversations about every decision that's made with regards to this decision. We're not going to do anything that underbines the security of our allies, our constant allies in the region. So I think that that's something that our partners believe

from this, say, because we're doing it. We're going to continue to do it. And we're doing it with

them now. Then in contravention and contraediction of what's in the MOU, Rubio says, we will never

allow Iran to have tolls regarding the straightive removes. Nobody will accept that, okay? Well, look in the MOU, the MOU just says no tolls for 60 days. We could all read the MOU. Here's what Rubio says, let's play it. Well, we'll be against any mechanism that charges money to each international order with excessive. The president's already started. That's not going to happen.

When we meet up in the streets, if you know, for the streets of free, in international order, so we'll express that tomorrow. I am certain that I know that we'll every country in the Gulf region is supportive, probably the reception of Iran, but all the GCC members will be supportive of the whole world. I know of no country on the planet that supports tolling for a fee for the use

Of the straights.

the field. And then Rubio also in his meeting with the press after meeting with the UAE

and Kuwait, Rubio almost acts like there's no deal. It's like, well, you know, we're working

through these terms and, you know, we're going to have to, you know, ensure that if Iran doesn't do the deal with us, we're going to have a lot of options at our disposal. What are you talking about Rubio? There's an MOU that we can all read. Those terms now have to be implemented in a long form agreement, but this is why Rubio has, and the Trump regime has zero credibility and why these Middle East countries are developing a security architecture without the United States.

Let's play this clip, or Rubio. It has to be different to bond and straighten bond around excuse me, if it doesn't comply with some of its requirements and negotiations. Is that sort of, you know, in any way, should reform convocating the negotiations? No, have it. No, what the president's state is very flitter. We expect them to keep their, they want to get into an negotiation with the negotiations. If they make commitments at the government negotiations, they need to keep

them. If they don't keep them, the president has multiple options at his disposal. That includes

sanctions and it includes other things. So I think the president's been clear. If we're going to

get a deal, it has to be real deal, and it has to be a good deal. If a lot of wants to make a good and real deal, the United States is open to that. If they're not, and then of course the president has options. We want this to work out. We hope it works out. But if it doesn't, the president knows what his options are, and I'm not, you know, that's all I'll say about it. Washington Post reports the following rocked by the Iran war, the UAE sours on Trump. We got played across the Persian Gulf region,

Trump was once viewed as a pro business ally, but his decision to wage war in Iran and his erratic conduct have tarnished his image. And as I've said in the Middle East, they've clinically diagnosed Donald Trump as psychotic, not hyperbolic. Like actually he's a psychotic human. We all know this. We didn't need a clinical diagnosis. I mean, I'm giving you my opinion, of course. But he's not a

rational actor, duh. This article goes on to talk about how lots of business leaders in the UAE

basically say, you know, he constantly changes position. I had high hopes. We got played. He

claimed to be a no war president. We believed him. We warned him. Don't poke the bear. Don't go to war with Iran. Instead, he listened to Netanyahu over us. And now he's destroyed business. And he's destroyed the region. He escalated the war. And then he seems to just walk away. He caused all these problems. And then he just seems to say, now we don't care about you. And no one has any view that Donald Trump can be trusted in the UAE anymore. I mean, you look at what Netanyahu's been

saying just over the past 24 hours. They told us, don't enter Syria. They said it wasn't wise. They said it wasn't justified. We went in with full force. Just as we did in Lebanon. I told Donald Trump, we're going into Iran. I didn't even have to ask. And then guess what? We went into Iran and Donald Trump followed me. You have foreign minister, the foreign ministry spokesperson of Iran issued the following statement after rubios made all of these statements that contradict the

MOU. The US ruling establishment has never shown any sincerity in its behavior toward the Iranian

nation, Iran while having ample reason for this suspicion and through the diplomatic process and good faith inside the MOU to end the imposed war. Iranians know that the enemy's animosity will not end with the signing of a single agreement. And they will take every step with vigilance, bearing in mind the experience of the past five decades, especially the developments of the last year and a half, the contradictory statements by US officials regarding the memorandum of understanding

to end the imposed war. We'll do nothing to reduce the accumulated distrust of Iranians and will merely serve as a reminder of past breaches of faith. The US ruling establishment must bear in mind that the principle of commitment for commitment requires the fulfillment of reciprocal obligations and the invoid in seven interpretations that are entirely at odds with the explicit wording of the memorandum of understanding text. So while you have that happening, as I noted,

foreign minister Iraq, she's been speaking with the counterpart in Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Sad, who says Israel's military only strategy is only going to cripple

its own interests. And this is why we need to build a new regional framework. Here's what he says,

let's play this clip. The management of the straight was working fine, before the conflict, there were no issues, ships were navigating freely, you know, there was no safety issue,

There was no environmental issue, there were, there were no issues.

as a result of a conflict, except some novel arrangement that is going to be imposed on it?

That, you know, that to me doesn't make sense, so I think we need to go back to the way it was, and that

worked fine, and that should be the end of it. Well there you have a folks, let me know what you think,
