0:00Ben Meiselas:World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump as he spent most of his time in Scotland promoting his own golf courses. As world leaders see it, it's basically Donald Trump and Netanyahu against the world and whoever could bribe Donald Trump the most. For example, Pakistan buys into Donald Trump's family Bitcoin holdings, and Pakistan's military general gets an audience with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is unable to do a trade deal with India. Like, do y 'all remember that Donald Trump's been saying, what now, really since April? A deal with India is right around the corner. There's no deal with India.

0:41Ben Meiselas:India is incredibly pissed off at Donald Trump. The latest, India's defense minister, we've heard from their foreign minister before, but their defense minister is saying, Donald, stop saying that you had anything to do with the peace deal between India and Pakistan. You're making our lives very difficult here in India because you dangling trade had nothing to do with the ultimate peace that followed military operations following a terrorist attack in the Kashmir region. I mean, we're seeing Rajnath Singh, again, India's defense minister, was just speaking at a parliamentary debate the other day.

1:22Ben Meiselas:And he said it is completely incorrect and baseless what Donald Trump is saying. The military action was not stopped because of pressure by Donald Trump. India halted its operation because all the political and military objectives studied before and during the conflict had been achieved. Stop lying about India. That's what we're seeing there. You know, latest foreign policy issues talking about how the way Donald Trump's treating India, India really has no choice but to submit to China. I mean, look, India is already part of BRICS, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. But I think India was hoping that it could do some transactions with the United States.

2:11Ben Meiselas:But the way Donald Trump has handled students from India has absolutely outraged the people in India. The way Donald Trump continues to threaten Apple not to build plants in India is infuriating people in India. The way Donald Trump keeps claiming he's the one responsible for peace between India and Pakistan is infuriating the people in India. And the overall way Donald Trump is handling this trade war against the world. And Donald Trump just said the other day, yesterday, that he would put 25 % tariffs on India There's nothing he can do about it. I mean, that's his position right there. Again, foreign policy says Trump is pushing India to submit to China.

2:53Ben Meiselas:Without clear U.S. support, the cost of resisting Beijing is too high. And we're seeing that repeatedly, by the way. Mexico, Central America, South America, Caribbean nations, African nations, other Asian nations, the way Biden brought together South Korea, Japan and the United States for a trilateral meeting. We see the Japanese foreign minister, South Korea's foreign minister and China's foreign minister meeting together, trying to figure things out there. Same thing with Australia. We saw Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia, spend over a week in Shanghai and Beijing. And Albanese says China is our biggest and best trading partner.

3:42Ben Meiselas:Says it out loud. By far, we need to focus more on China. I mean, and of course, you've now heard I've showed you the video clip yesterday. Stephen Harper, former prime minister of Canada, who describes himself as the he was the most pro-American prime minister in Canadian history. He said he goes, look, I'm speaking right now with the liberal government run by Prime Minister Carney. He goes, I told Carney I'm the most pro-American former prime minister there is. Do not do business with America. Or if we do, just be gentle and then focus on broader trading relationships across the rest of the world.

4:19Ben Meiselas:strengthen those and don't look to the United States. I mean, he goes, all the world leaders I speak to are all thinking that right now as well. You know, and I think that that's a repeated theme that we're seeing. Anyway, just so you can hear for yourself, this is what Donald Trump said about India, that there will be a 25 % tariff on India. And then he tries to take credit for all it. He's like, I stopped the war between Thailand and, you know, he goes, I stopped the war between Cambodia and he means Thailand, but he goes, bah, bah, bah. And he doesn't know Thailand. So he goes, bah, bah, bah.

4:56Ben Meiselas:What does that even mean? Bah, bah, bah. I mean, the guy's an idiot and you can't be the arsonist. All of these wars start and then the countries deal with them on their own. You do nothing. And then you go, I stopped the wars. I should get a Nobel peace prize. Anyway, here's what he says. Play this clip.

5:42to you. So I wasn't that was a great one. I think that's been pretty well finalized. I don't know. I'm asking you and I do a good job on that one. I did a good job in about five different wars. Do you think I'll get credit for it? No. Well, I get credit for she'll say yes. Is the deal with India finalized? I know it's not. Okay, so what rate are you expecting? We're going to see. We're going to see. But India has been a good friend. But India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country. You know that, right? Over the years. But now I'm in charge and you just can't do that.

8:30Ben Meiselas:Richard Greer. I think that Ambassador Greer will keep it and he probably has the paperwork. No, there's no paperwork because these are all fake deals. There's no paperwork with Japan. There's no paperwork with the European Union. There's no paperwork with Vietnam or Indonesia. Donald Trump dropped blank pieces of paper and claimed that was the deal with the United Kingdom, which he thought was the European Union. But here's Treasury Secretary Scott Besson play this clip. These deals have been coming pretty fast and furious. At times, it gets hard to track the details of them. The Vietnam deal that the president announced earlier in July, I don't think we've seen confirmation, or at least I haven't, as I sit here now, from the Vietnamese government of that deal.

9:12Did we get confirmation from the Vietnamese government? Do we have an agreement with them on paper? I didn't work on that deal, but I assume that we do, because we've also done Indonesia and Philippines. So I would imagine that. But you haven't seen that paperwork. But that's Ambassador Greer, who is a seasoned veteran with an encyclopedic memory and knowledge of all this, keeps all that.

9:39Ben Meiselas:And here's Donald Trump bragging, look, it's just him and Netanyahu. They're the ones choreographing all of this. He goes, he and Netanyahu are working together and he and Netanyahu are going to straighten out the world. Here's what he got. Here's what he says. Let's play this clip. What will you see next to Benjamin Netanyahu? I'm working together with him. Try and get things straightened out for the world. Thank you very much. Well, the rest of the world doesn't think that. You have the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, saying, consistent with its historic commitments to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the state of Palestine.

10:14Ben Meiselas:I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September. Remember, the urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population. Peace is possible. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the state of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region.

10:49Ben Meiselas:There is no alternative. OK, and then yesterday, Prime Minister Kiir Starmer of the United Kingdom says UK will recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza. Here, play this clip. I've always said that we will recognize a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process at the moment of maximum impact for the two state solution. With that solution now under threat, this is the moment to act. So today, as part of this process towards peace, I can confirm the UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.

11:53And this includes allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid and making clear that there will be no annexations in the West Bank.

12:02Ben Meiselas:And finally, if Donald Trump thinks he's being, like, tough around the world, Let me explain to you what's happening in North Korea. Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, she just gave a speech where she said, look, yeah, sure, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un get along just fine. But she said, you know, we demand immediate recognition of our nuclear capabilities from the United States. She goes, we want Trump to recognize us as a nuclear power. So, you know, it's not like He's making North Korea denuclearize. Here's how CNN reported it. Let's play it. North Korea breaking its silence on Donald Trump.

12:41The messenger? Not Kim Jong-un. But his powerful younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, on the far right, believed to be in her late 30s. This week in North Korean state media, she said her brother's relationship with President Trump is not bad. Signaling talks with the U.S. could happen again. But only if the U.S. drops its demand for denuclearization and accepts North Korea as a nuclear power. Kim's sister also called South Korea the enemy, slamming their new president Lee Jae-myung, rejecting any chance for dialogue. She exuded confidence. She exuded arrogance even. She's a major architect of her older brother's carefully choreographed image, like this recent meeting with Russia's foreign minister on one of Kim's yachts.

13:34She was also by his side when Kim met President Trump. His sister, who is always around him, kind of acts as his chief of staff. And Kim's enforcer. When South Korean activists sent anti-Kim leaflets north by balloon last year, she publicly defended flying trash-filled balloons South, triggering cell phone alerts for millions. She also ordered the dramatic demolition of this border office shared with the South. Kim Yo-jong has been rising in power for years, promoted to the Politburo, the senior body of North Korea's Communist Party. She represented her brother at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

14:18Kim's sister is most known for her fiery rhetoric and fierce loyalty to her brother, one of the only people North Korea's most powerful person can trust.

14:28Ben Meiselas:And now Donald Trump, what's the latest? His new deadline for Putin, it was two weeks back in April, then 50 days two weeks ago, and then yesterday it was 10 days to 12 days, and now he's saying 10 days from today. He just makes up numbers. He just makes up days. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, yesterday you mentioned that you would change the Russia deadline to 10 to 12 days. Is that has that started yet? Or when can we see the official statement that that is the new deadline? I'll tell you what, I'll give it to you now. Do you want a big scoop? Yes, please. Everybody else close your ears.

15:05OK, you ready? I'm ready. 10 days from today. Got it. OK? Got it. We have a scoop. And then, you know, we're going to put on tariffs and stuff and I don't know if it's going to affect Russia because he wants to obviously probably keep the war going. But we're going to put on tariffs, the various things that you put on. It may or may not affect them, but it could.

15:29Ben Meiselas:So it's not surprising that you hear from President Zelensky the following, Russia shows absolutely no regard for anyone in the world who wants to bring this war to an end. Just yesterday, there was a very necessary statement from President Trump. There was a lot of support around the world, but still strikes continue and even demonstrative killing of our people by Russians continues. Every such Russian strike, every act of Russian boorishness in response to the world's call to stop the world only proves one thing. Pressure is necessary. More sanctions against Russia, steady support for Ukraine and our defense of life, coordinated diplomacy for peace.

16:04Ben Meiselas:I thank everyone who's working with us exactly this way. There you have it, folks. World leaders are furious at Donald Trump. His weakness is showing. You have North Korea flexing its muscle. Putin is undeterred. You have Donald Trump attacking India, supporting Pakistan because they bought his Bitcoin and inviting the Pakistani general to basically be in the Oval Office. Donald Trump snubbing world leaders at the G7 after leaving, being there for five or six hours. It's just a very weak, sheepish, bizarre, weirdo, you know, in the United States of America. Just strange to see. Anyway, hit subscribe.
