Donald Trump is getting ditched and banned and blocked by world leaders that were previously allied with the United States, who have had enough of Donald Trump's threats to destroy NATO, of Donald Trump's trade wars against the world, of Donald Trump going it alone with Netanyahu in this unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran, and world leaders are saying enough is enough. You can't use our airspace, Donald. You can't use our countries for your military to pursue this unlawful war. You don't rush into a war without our support or without consulting us and then demand we help. And then Donald Trump said, well, okay, then we are going to stop the war in Iran and we will just leave the straight of Hormuz in the control of Iran. What you're going to do then, allies? to which the allies are saying, well, you know those treasuries that we used to buy in the United States?

You know how we used to invest lots of money in U.S. real estate and how we parked our money there and we sent our students there and we went on trips there. Yeah, we ain't doing that either, Donald. So enough is enough of your crap. So just in the past 24 to 48 hours, France and Italy joined Spain and Switzerland in denying U.S. any military support or airspace for Donald Trump's unlawful war against Iran. Also, Israel wanted to use France's airspace to transport U.S. weapons to be used in the Iran War. But that request was denied by France. Italy told the U.S. they need special permission. for military base uses outside of existing agreements. And those existing agreements do not cover Donald Trump's unlawful war in Iran.

So then Donald Trump accused France of blocking military equipment from flying over its territory. And he attacked France and the United Kingdom throughout the day. And then Trump basically said, then we should consider withdrawing from NATO. And then Marco Rubio also gave an interview, on state regime media, which calls itself Fox News, and also said, well, after this war is over, the United States should consider withdrawing from NATO. You want to withdraw from NATO, frankly,

and I say this as a patriotic American who's pissed off at the fact that the United States has betrayed our allies, has engaged in this disastrous war, has made the United States infinitely weaker that is going to harm the United States for generations, frankly, it was unclear to me how these NATO nations could even work with Donald Trump. What, in my opinion, it was so obvious he's helping Russia to try to destroy NATO as Donald Trump

attacks Zelensky while removing sanctions from Putin's oil while inviting members of Russians Duma, which is basically like their Senate, to take a tour of the capital last week and meet with Maga Republican Congress members and State Department, while Donald Trump. Trump has put out his official State Department or Department of Defense kind of international Trump foreign policy guidelines where it says it is the professed goal of the Trump regime to destroy the European Union and essentially weaken NATO. It's like enough of your damn threats. And finally, these world leaders in these various countries are like, stop threatening us.

You want to withdraw from NATO. You want to break up an alliance that has kept the. stability with the United States as the leader of a world order. I'm not trying to paint some beautiful picture and be like, oh, everything's been perfect over the past 60, 70 years. But the United States was viewed at least as the leader of the free world. It's like, you want to leave this alliance, then leave it. You want to be friends with Putin and Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping? You think they want to be friends with you? They laugh in your face. They think you're weak and pathetic while you remove sanctions from Russia's oil. Russia's like, okay, great. Well, Russia sends

their cargo ships and their fuel tankers to Cuba. Russia's like, all right, we're going to help Iran target U.S. military bases in the region, American soldiers, while Donald Trump's like, well, I think Putin kind of likes me. And I think Xi Jinping is a very strong guy who likes me. They don't like you, you idiot. They laugh in your face how weak and pathetic. and how in such a short time you press the fast forward button on the remote control to crush American power in the world. I should also note that Israel's Ministry of Defense says that as a result of France,

not letting the Israeli-American weapons into the country of France, Israel says it will be ending all military procurement from France. Just hours after France refused to allow Israel to use its airspace, per the Wall Street Journal. Details include the following, as the COBSA letter explains. This move comes following a series of measures taken by the country that it sees as, now undermining Israeli security. France, you're undermining Israeli security.

Donald Trump and Netanyahu invade Iran. Don't consult anybody. Stuck in a quagmire right now in the Strait of Hormuz. Now you must let us use your damn territory, France. Or else, France, like, you can't use our territory. Spain's like, you can't use our territory. Switzerland's like you can't use our territory. Italy's like you can't use our territory.

What the hell are you doing right now? It goes on to say the Israeli Ministry of Defense, as France is actively obstructing the transfer of munitions to Israel and has prohibited Israeli aircraft carrying munitions for the Iran war from using French airspace, the ministry said. The move highlights Israel shifting diplomatic relations since the start of the, they call it the Gaza War in 2023 per the Wall Street Journal.

Israel said it would replace French products by making them domestically or buying them from a friendlier nation. France's refusal follows similar moves by Spain and Italy. Okay, I need to talk about jeans for a second because over the pandemic, I started to hate jeans. I was like, why am I doing this to myself? They're stiff, they squeeze you in all the wrong places

and ordering online is a nightmare. Wrong fit, weird sizing returns the worst. So when the perfect gene hit us up to sponsor the show, I told Jordy, we are not doing this unless they're the real deal. Then I put them on, and I'm not kidding, I had a full-on emotional moment. These things are so soft, insanely stretchy, and they actually fit. Like, not I'll make it work fit, but the perfect fit.

No crushed nuts, no saggy butt, just clean, sharp confidence. I looked in the mirror and was like, okay, I look good too. and they move with you. I'm bending, sitting, running around, no plumbers crack, no fighting the waistband. These things are basically yoga pants disguised as jeans. Normally I'm paying like, I don't know, $150, $200 for jeans that I can't wait to take off.

Forget your khakis and get the perfect gene. So do you see the global realignment happening in real time right now? You have NATO members, you have former allies of the United States, the former allies of the U.S. and Israel saying, uh-uh, stay out of our country. Y'all want to be warmongers and do unlawful wars and engage in a...

We ain't taken part of it. you are on your own. That's what they're saying. I mean, earlier in the day yesterday, Donald Trump attacked France for not allowing the U.S. to use its airspace. The country of France wouldn't let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies,

fly over French territory. France has been very unhelpful with respect to the butcher of Iran, who has been successfully eliminated. The USA will remember, okay, you're just a pathetic weak loser. Just shut up. I mean, I think that's at this point how the rest of the world sees it.

Just shut. Shut up. Donald Trump went on to say in the morning, all of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hermos, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran. I have a suggestion for you. Number one, buy from the U.S. We have plenty. And number two, build up some delayed courage.

Go to the straight and just take it. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore. Just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil. Donald J. Trump.

You realize that the straight of Hormuz was open to the entire world without tolling fees at all before your disastrous and catastrophic war in Iran. Iran has not been decapitated. Iran has not been decimated. Yes, you have dropped big bombs as Hegson. You dropped big bombs all over Iran. But you haven't destroyed Iran. You've rallied people in Iran where they may have actually been.

supportive of you months ago, you've rallied them behind the Islamic Republic, number one. Number two, they controlled the Islamic Republic with an iron fist controls the Strait of Hermuz, and they've implemented a tiered system where their ships get out, their allies are able to utilize it, they charge tolling fees for others, and now they don't let United States and allies of the United States use the Strait of Hermuz. As far as we know, you ain't going into the Strait of Hermuz right now, so you want to all the other countries to go into it and solve the problem you created, what,

the way your daddy had to bail you out with your loser casinos and you still bankrupted him anyway? All these other world leaders see the writings on the wall. And then how dare you go to Poland, which is on the eastern flank of NATO? You told Poland, Trump told Poland, give us your Patriot Air Defense Systems

that you bought. We wanted back because we need it for the Middle East. I thought you had unlimited ammo Donald, I thought you had unlimited ammo. And Poland's like, a no. We're the eastern flank of NATO, you idiot. Stay away from us. We're trying to actually work with Ukraine and protect the world from the fact that Russia is helping countries like Iran and North Korea attack NATO and attack the United States and attack Ukraine. So get the hell out of here, Donald. Just meanwhile, as Donald Trump makes these posts and he says all of these things about Iran, like we're loitering over their country,

we're raining down death, we will destroy your desalination facilities, we will destroy your electrical grids, death and destruction is what, that's how weak and pathetic people talk. Could we be very clear about that? You're just rallying the Iranians. I mean, from a university professor at Tehran, across Iran, people are on the streets tonight in defiance of the Epstein Coalition air strike. and missile fire on Islamic Republic Day in Iran. That's what it was yesterday.

You had millions of people out across the country who were protesting the Epstein class, Trump and Netanyahu, as they would say, and everybody, you know, associated with it. You've rallied them against you. Remember how in January they were actually pro-democracy protesters and you promised that you were going to help them and then you betrayed them and got them killed? Yeah, that's not what's happening right now. Let's open up our damn eyes and see what's happening. I mean, speaking of seeing, opening up our eyes, like, I know that there are all of these market manipulation moves happening like yesterday where they took the president of Iran, Pasechki, and out of context, and Peschkians like, well, we need security guarantees and reparations and we need to keep our ballistic missiles.

And we want American military bases out of the Middle East. If there were to be peace, we would want peace if those things happen. And like the part that was clipped was, Iranian president. possessing and says, we would like a peace deal to happen. Yeah, but you didn't say all of the other things that he said. It's like why, I think this network is very important that we could give you at least everything that everybody's saying it's full context and then you can decide and judge for yourself.

That's what I think a media network should be all about. In any event, Iran's foreign minister, Araji, here's what he said about potential peace talks with the U.S. Quote, we do not have any faith that negotiations with the U.S. will yield any results. The trust level right now is at zero. The trust level is at zero. Now, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State for the United States,

he went on state regime media. And he said yesterday, basically, we should consider withdrawn from NATO. Here, play this clip. Let me ask you about NATO. You said that our NATO allies have been disappointing, specifically. I know you're talking about Spain, Great Britain, France,

even Italy now. And that after all of this is, done, we will re-examine this relationship, and especially when it comes to, we pay two-thirds of the freight when it comes to NATO defense. And if it's just, quote, about us defending Europe, you said, you know, at this point, how do we call that? And we can't have our landing rights in European nations, our allies at a time when we need them. What good is that alliance? And is the NATO alliance at risk? Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as a United States

Senator because I found great value in it. It wasn't just about defending Europe. I said it also allowed us to have military bases in Europe that allowed us to project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened. If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, the NATO is a one-way street. that NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe,

but when we need their help, not their help, we're not asking them to conduct airstrikes. When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no, then why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question, why do we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars, over the years, trillions of dollars,

and all these American forces stationed in the region, if we can only use, in our time of need, we're not going to be allowed to use those bases. So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship. We're going to have to reexamine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country. Ultimately, that's a decision for the president to make, and he'll have to make it. We're going to finish the job here. As I said, we're very, very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I've outlined.

But I do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to reexamine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose. become a one-way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe. But when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights and they're going to deny us overflight, I think these are very legitimate questions that we need to be asking. And this are going to have to be very carefully examined after this conflict is over. And then Marco Rubio cites like maritime law after what? The Trump regime has bombed fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and fishing boats in the Pacific, killing hundreds of people and crimes against humanity. He's cites maritime law.

And then he says, you know, the straight of Hermuz is the rest of the world's problems. It's not a problem for us. We wish you all the best world you deal with it. Here, play this clip. Well, the Straits of Hormuz, those are international waters, right? So anything Iran does to impede commercial traffic is illegal.

For all these countries that love to talk about international law, it is a violation of international maritime law to impede the free flow of travel and international waters. Okay, so that's number one. Number two, it's illegal to bomb and hit and attack commercial shipping and sink them. I mean, that's what the Nazis did during World War II in the Atlantic. And that's what they're doing now to ships that they,

from countries they don't like, that are flagged by countries they don't like. These are terroristic acts that they're undertaking. And so the United States gets very little energy through the Straits of Hormuz. Our allies ship out a lot of oil through there, meaning our Gulf allies, and certainly countries in Asia and Europe depend on it. We depend very little on the straits. So if, in fact, Iran decides to set up a toll, if in fact Iran decides that they're going to illegally continue,

control the Straits of Hormuz or decide they're going to try to do that. Look, I imagine that'll be the president's call whether he wants to help. But this is a problem for the world. It's countries around the world should be stepping up and dealing with that and saying that's intolerable. And that's we've encouraged them to do. Then so after basically saying the U.S. should withdraw from NATO, the Strait of Hormuz is your problem. He then gets, he takes Putin's side of it and says there's no other governments in the world that are actually helping Iran to hurt the United States. Yeah, they may be talking, but it's not actually hurting the United States. Hello, you idiot. Did you see what happened in the Riyadh base right in Saudi Arabia,

where the U.S. century, it's crown jewel, AWACS, airplane, and the KC-135s were destroyed? Are you seeing that with precision Iran has been able to hit American military assets? Hey, Rubio, you moron. Can you explain why there are 13 American military bases? in the Middle East right now that are fully evacuated. That's normal to you. That makes a lot of sense to you. You realize that Russia's providing Iran with the coordinates and also helping Iran through the Caspian Sea,

helping them with the Shahi drones, which are now also manufactured in Russia because Iran was helping Russia manufacturing them to go and attack Ukraine. Like, you do realize that this is clearly what's happening. But no, you take Russia's side. Here, play this clip. You believe the North Koreans,

there have been numerous reports that they have been assisting Iran with both their ballistic missile program and their nuclear program. Well, I can't comment on that other than to say that there's nothing any government is doing or any country in the world is doing now to help Iran that is in any way impeding our mission. Do they have countries that have helped them in the past? Yes, they have. I mean, and by the way, Iran also helps other countries by providing drones and rockets and things of that nature that they've developed themselves. And then Donald Trump in the Oval Office attacked France and all the other countries in the world and he's like, we don't need the straight of her moves. It's your problem.

You deal with it. Why, why would we need to do any? Good luck. Watch what Donald Trump says here, play this clip. We'll be leaving very soon. And if France or some other country once again, oil or gas, they'll go up through the straight and almost straight, they'll go right up there and they'll be able to fend for themselves. I think it'll be very safe, actually, but we have nothing to do with that. What happens to the straight, we're not going to have anything to do with because these countries, China, China will go up and they'll fuel up their beautiful ships and they'll leave and they'll take care of themselves. There's no reason for us to do it. We hit them hard. We got rid of a lot of the radicalized lunatics along the strait, but if they want something,

but I would say that within two weeks, maybe, two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting them very hard last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities. And just so we can look at the straight of Hormuz traffic data, drop site quoting Kepler data showed that only four ships transited the straight of Hormuz on Monday, directly contradicting Trump's claim that a tremendous number of ships were sailing through. Finally, I'll leave you with the statement from Pope Leo the 14th, and he says, I'm told that President Trump recently stated that he would like to end the war. Hopefully, he's looking for an off-ramp. Hopefully, he's looking for a way

to decrease the amount of violence of bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that's being created and that's increasing constantly in the Middle East and elsewhere. The world is a changing right now with America losing or if not lost

all of its former allies while Trump wants to gain the favor of Putin who laughs and mocks the United States and Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping, laughs and mocks the United States about how weak and pathetic Trump and his cabinet are. It's an utterly humiliating time right now with this Trump regime to, you know, for our country,

utterly humiliating, a humiliation ritual by people who have bankrupted things their entire life, by a group of losers by the Epstein class. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
