Furious world leaders are ditching Donald Trump in the United States, and they are frantically reaching out to Iran, trying to cut deals directly with Iran, recognizing how catastrophically erratic and irreparably so the United States has become under Donald Trump and Trump's despicable regime. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson went on their state TV and talked about how he received calls in the past 24 hours from the United Kingdom, from Ukraine, from Bulgaria, and numerous other countries saying that they do not want any part in any escalation of war with Iran, and that they want to cut deals directly with Iran. Also, we know that Saudi Arabia and Qatar's foreign ministers both spoke with Foreign Minister Araghchi of Iran, and then both the Qatari Saudi and the Pakistani foreign ministers, as well as Field Marshal Munir of Pakistan, all reached out to Donald Trump and pressured him not to escalate the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Also reminding him that he has run out of Patriot interceptors, THAAD interceptors, Navy destroyers, and that any semblance of future relations between the United States and those Arab nations would be completely severed if Donald Trump escalated this catastrophic war in Iran.
Let's just go through piece by piece what has taken place here. So Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson went on their state media and said, in the past 24 hours, we received numerous calls from the United Kingdom, from Bulgaria and Ukraine, all stating that they will not be part of any conflict against Iran. I mean, Ukraine's foreign minister in the past few days has confirmed these conversations. 5 days ago, Ukraine's foreign minister said, I called Iran's foreign minister for a frank conversation. Diplomacy is about a direct conversation, even when it's difficult. I stressed that our goal is to avoid unnecessary escalation that was reiterated in the phone call to Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson and to the Iran foreign ministry, uh, during the phone call that took place over the weekend before Donald Trump announced that he would not be escalating the catastrophic war in Iran. Donald Trump aboard Air Force One also said, we were ready to hit Iran. With a powerful strike that has not been seen since World War II. I mean, what is he threatening a nuclear bomb on Iran? But I spoke, he admitted it. I spoke with the UAE and Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and they told me they wanted me to hold off.
Well, that's actually not fully true. The, uh, Saudi Arabian foreign ministry spokesperson and MBS, uh, Saudi Arabia said they did not want Trump to escalate. Qatar said they did not want Donald Trump to escalate, but the UAE, which is allied with Israel through the Abraham Accords, they wanted Donald Trump to escalate and they were encouraging him to do so. In fact, you have Israel and the UAE, they're furious at Donald Trump because they made military preparations which cost them a lot of resources and military readiness, believing that Donald Trump was going to escalate only for Donald Trump to back out of his threats in the last minute. Yet again, you have the United United States, Lieutenant General Leahy, rushed over, uh, to the Kuwaiti Armed Forces chief, um, to pose for a photo saying, we just want to reinforce the enduring US-Kuwaiti partnership and our shared commitment to regional security and stability, because Kuwait wants them the hell out of their bases there. In Jordan, they want the United States the hell out of the base there. The people of Kuwait, the people of Jordan want the United States there. And at this point, the US has been forced to basically abandon those bases.
In terms of its military equipment, its planes and other military capabilities, because Iran destroyed the early radar detection systems, most of the containerized barracks where the troops were living and other critical infrastructure there. And the United States demonstrated that its so-called Arab umbrella or Arab dome, you know how there's the Iron Dome in Israel, the US promised an Arab dome. And that's why the US wanted their bases in these countries in order to then extract the resources from the country. We'll do our bases, we'll protect you, but we're going to take your resources. The Arab Dome has fallen. Think about what Iran has been able to achieve as the United States bases in all of these countries has been demonstrated not to be able to protect itself. And if the bases can't protect itself, Iran has sent a message. Really, UAE, if y'all can't protect the US military base, if we want to, you don't think that we could destroy Dubai? We could destroy Abu Dhabi. Really, Bahrain, you can protect the Fifth Fleet? You don't think that we can destroy Manama? You don't think we can destroy— we don't think we could destroy the city?
Really, Qatar, you don't think that we'll be able to destroy Doha if we want to? So now Israeli officials, they're pissed. They said we planned the strike. UAE's pissed. They're saying they planned the strike. The UAE lobbied Trump to take more decisive action, according to the Wall Street Journal. And they're perplexed. But then Saudi Arabia, um, uh, did the following according to the Saudi Press Agency. Uh, this was the readout from the call between MBS and Donald Trump on Saturday over the weekend. According to the Saudi Press Agency, the two leaders discussed developments in the region and their regional and international repercussions at various levels. The Crown Prince stressed, quote, the need to prioritize the language of dialogue to reduce escalation and the importance of exerting all possible efforts to achieve calm that paves the way for diplomatic solutions that produce positive results, preserve the security and stability of the region, and prevent being drawn into a wider conflict whose repercussions would affect regional and international security and stability. The statement added that MBS and Trump reviewed the existing areas of cooperation between the two countries and ways to strengthen them. So when Donald Trump was asked by a reporter aboard Air Force One, what prompted you to call off the strikes?
Trump says, I was asked by Saudi Arabia, by UAE, by Qatar, and by Iran. Uh, we were all set to go just about at this time right now. And, uh, it would have been a massive attack. We were all set to go. But when the allies asked to call it off, you gotta sort of say, well, let's see. And the reason they asked is They think there's a deal. There's a deal on Hormuz, and then there will be a deal on the nuclear. You might call it the denuclearization of Iran. So is he now calling Iran an ally, uh, as well? CBS, which is state regime media in the United States, reports Trump signals deal to end Iran war may be imminent and agrees to cancel the attack. As Daniel Davis explains, I'm just asking what should be an obvious question. Why do mainstream media outlets like CBS News here report Trump's words as though they should be taken at face value, that a deal may be imminent when this is just the latest in a long list of Trump tacos? Why does anyone give the slightest legitimacy to his absurd claims? Here's the truth.
The Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, either gave Trump an ultimatum, threatened him, or made a strong plea for him not to take action that would certainly result in the destruction of their oil infrastructure. Iran had threatened to retaliate in strong ways, and Trump knew that the US would not be able to stop them. Heck, the US allied commander in Europe, Grinkowicz, he leaked out to the press, pretty much said it publicly. He was running out of assets, Navy destroyers. He couldn't do his job in the Middle East. Trump's decision not to attack was the right one, but it exposes he's got no plan. No way out. No way to escape right here. Now, a source close to the nuclear negotiations from Iran says there's no agreement. There's no agreement regarding opening the Strait of Hormuz. There's no agreement regarding denuclearization. Trump is making all of this up. In fact, when CENTCOM, after Trump announced that we've got, uh, we're in negotiations, was going to be like World War II. I'm gonna drop the nuke. That's what he's implying, right? But, uh, we, we're doing a deal. CENTCOM tried to send more tankers through the Oman route in the Strait of Hormuz.
What did Iran do? Pop, just destroyed it. And then on the Iranian media networks, they showed again blowing up one of the tankers as well, and that they said, there's no deal, we're not doing anything. What do you— what in the world are you doing here?
WLP-1 from The Absorption Company is designed to support satiety, thermogenesis, and metabolic health while also helping to reduce the absorption of fats and carbs. It's a science-backed approach for people looking to support their goals without going to the extremes. See, a supplement can only work at the level your body absorbs it. We spend so much time talking about ingredients, dosages, and wellness trends, but absorption is the factor that determines whether any supplement can actually deliver results. The Absorption Company is bringing a science first approach to the supplement industry with advanced delivery technologies designed to increase bioavailability at a pharmaceutical-grade level. The Absorption Company is singularly focused on solving the biggest problem in supplements: low absorption. Most supplements absorb at less than 16%, meaning over 84% of the supplements we take are completely wasted. 77% of Americans take supplements daily, and we spend about $60 billion per year on supplements, yet over 95% of us are still nutrient inefficient. The supplements we're taking every day do not absorb well enough to work. The Absorption Company uses cutting-edge technologies to make supplements with pharmaceutical-grade absorption, up to 149 times better than standard supplements. Absorption is one of the things that affects all others.
No matter how powerful vitamin D, magnesium, CoQ10, or any other supplement could be, it only works if it absorbs. Whether you're looking for a WLP-1, magnesium, berberine, CoQ10, or dozens of other science-backed supplements. Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

Now, um, another sign of Donald Trump's utter weakness and the fact that he's utterly panicked— it's connected to the catastrophic war in Iran. As a result of the catastrophic war in Iran, oil shortages in Japan. Um, and just also you have their kind of far right-wing MAGA leader, Takaishi, kind of screwing things up the same way, um, Javier Milei in Argentina did. And both because they're Trump bootlickers getting bailouts from Donald Trump, but Donald Trump trying to now intervene to throw billions of dollars to prop up the yen, to prevent the yen from collapsing. Treasury Secretary Bessin is trying to project that this is strength. It isn't. The worry is, is that if Japan tries to further bail itself out, it would have to dump US treasuries. They're like the biggest holder of US treasuries. And already the US bond market is terrible. I mean, the 30-year treasury yield, I mean, you know, is, is I'm not being hyperbolic. It could hit 5.5% soon. I mean, it is horrific. And that just means the US is going to have to pay more interest on its debt. And the interest alone, I mean, is going to, uh, cause, uh, again, an inability to ever reduce the deficit.
Um, okay. While all of this is the— well, let me just read for you what some of the military assessments are. Robert Niblett, former director of the Chatham House independent think tank in the UK, says this is a strategic loss and an embarrassment for the United States, US allies, and those who rely on the US for security. This is confirmation you can trust the United States. He continued, people won't forget that their security and their futures were dragged into question by an unpredictable and wavering US foreign policy. Aaron David Miller, a former American negotiator and senior fellow at Carnegie Endowment, says, uh, the US has undermined any deterrence deterrence credibility, antagonized its allies, and delighted its adversaries. You know, while Donald Trump posts AI images of himself leering over what purports to be Greenland, threatening Greenland, hello Greenland, or says Venezuela is the 51st state, or bailing out Japan, the world sees absolute weakness. And that's why you have country after country reaching out directly to Iran, reaching out to Foreign Minister Araghchi, They know that Iran is allied with China. They know the new security umbrella in the region is going to be a Chinese security umbrella, not a US.
And frankly, the Arab nations are welcoming a Chinese security umbrella over a US Trump security umbrella, which showed to be complete and utter, uh, utter weakness, uh, right before our very eyes. Now I want to share this with you as well. I think it's very important. We heard recently from Senator Kelly, Mark Kelly. He was recently interviewed by Katie Couric. Love Katie Couric. Very close with the Midas Touch Network. We're very close with Katie.
Great work.
Here's what he has to say when he went to the Munich conference, how our former allies, how other people talk about us right now. Here, play this clip.
I was at the Munich Security Conference and talked to some number of prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, foreign ministers, defense ministers. Hey, they don't know what to think. I mean, they have— we try to explain it.
What did they say?
Myself and others. They're like, what is going on? I mean, they think we've lost our minds. We're talking about attacking Greenland, the United States of America invading Greenland. I had a conversation with the Prime Minister of Denmark and the Prime Minister of Greenland who are like, obviously they're angry, angry at us, US senators. Why are you allowing this to happen? What is the, is the President of the United States going to invade Greenland? And all we can say is, well, we hope not. We're trying to, push back at this. The Prime Minister of Greenland told me that children in Greenland are now afraid of Americans. Afraid. And in Denmark, the Chinese poll higher than the United States of America. Denmark used to be one of our strongest allies. And all of our European allies are just wondering what happened. And I try to explain to them is, hey, the United States that you know, the ally that— it is still there. It's just like one level down. You just got to get through this administration. You got to get through the— and this is a problem. You got to get, you know, past the president and the immediate people around him.
But the American people are still your friend. And we are still your allies, but we're going to have to get beyond this administration to try to repair the relationship.
Now I want to talk about another perspective as well of what's going on. As the US is covering up the child sex trafficking ring of the Epstein Files, international investigations are continuing. So Katie Fang, you know, who's who's heroic, Katie Fang, who's been pushing for the release of the Epstein files. She's talking about how in all these other countries, France, England, Sweden, you name it, they're doing investigations into the people behind the Epstein files while the Trump regime is covering it up. This is another layer because you had Trump get into the catastrophic war to cover up the Epstein files. Now apparently he wants to bring back conspiracies about the pandemic to cover up for the catastrophic war, which is covering up for the Epstein files, to attack Fauci, whatever the hell they're doing. Um, but what this all goes back to also is the Epstein files as well, and we can't forget that. Here's what Katie Feng says.
Let's play.
The money makes no sense. The amount of money laundering that happened here, the amount of money that traded hands by and between people in rarefied air with kajillions of dollars, giving all this money to Jeffrey Epstein, and it wasn't because they just liked him. There was a reason why. And And then the fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag. It means they are protecting someone or some group of people that they think not only deserve it, but because they're being told to protect them. And that is the problem I have with lovers of torture videos having their names redacted.
And finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this, and both Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene point this out. This is what we talked about as well, um, several days ago. Remember how we talked about how we believed that what really went down in, uh, Ceuta, um, in Ceuta, uh, Northern Africa, which is part of Spain, was King Morocco, the, uh, King Mohammed of Morocco was working with, Trump and Netanyahu to release the 50,000 Moroccan migrants into Spain. By the way, Spain very quickly returned all 50,000 migrants back to Morocco. But this whole thing was an op by Trump and Netanyahu and the dictator of Morocco in order to create these visuals, one, to attack Spain after Spain again refused to allow the United States to use its bases and airspace for the catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Um, but also Trump wanted these visuals of migrants running into Europe, even though it's, you know, it's, it's part of Europe technically, but it's North Africa. Um, and Trump wants to say, you see, this is my talking point for the midterms, everybody. This is my new talking points. He literally said that at Camp David.
This is my, this is what it's going to look like if you vote for the Democrats. This was an op. And what Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene point out is what I was showing you, that about $20 to $40 million was given by the United States State Department to Morocco before this operation took place for unallocated funds, likely for this purpose. So the US sent $40 million to, uh, King Mohammed of Morocco to transport these migrants into Northern Africa, which by the way, is still separated by the Mediterranean Sea from mainland Spain. It wasn't like the people arrived there, but to push all of the people there so that they could, uh, basically invade Ceuta and then attack Spain. That was the plan. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Massey confirmed that. So you have Trump running around threatening the sovereignty of everyone, creating global instability and disorder. And that's why these countries saying, Iran, we want to make a deal with you. Let's do it. Let's do, let's do a deal with you. Crazy stuff. Crazy. I mean, the US being far less reliable, predictable, by far less reliable and predictable than Iran. Like, it's not even like, seriously, that, that's what the United States has become under, under the Trump regime.
