After failing in his negotiations with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump ran straight to American state regime media known as Fox to attack Canada. Here's what Donald Trump said. Let's play it. You're tougher with Canada than you are with our biggest adversaries. Only because it's meant to be our 51st straight. Okay, but... No, but listen to this for a second. We need their territory.

They have territorial advantage. We're not going to let them get close to China. Look, I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that... Now, this was Trudeau. The people that...

Good old Justin. I call him Governor Trudeau. He people that, good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau, his people were nasty. And they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth. You know that... Donald Trump spent most of this interview with Laura Ingraham attacking Canada and then praising Russia and China.

Here Donald Trump is saying that he'd like to do more trade with Russia while he attacks our closest ally, Canada. Play this clip. With Russia, we don't have that much trade, and they'd like to, and we'd like to also. They have some very valuable things for us, including very big forms of rare earth. They have a lot of earth. You know, they have a big chunk of real estate, the biggest, actually the biggest in the world for a country by far. And on that, they have things that we could use, frankly. And as I said, most of this interview was devoted to Donald Trump attacking Canada, saying he wants to conquer it, saying he wants to annex it, saying that they don't have any

resources that are really needed and they need the United States. Here, Donald Trump is talking about how Canadians are the worst people to negotiate with, he says. Here, play this clip. Things, we rebuilt our military. Canada doesn't pay for military. They don't give any, they give us nothing. And they are the worst people to negotiate with of everybody. You're Not with USMCA. You finally got them around the edge on that, though. No, I got them there. And USMCA is good, but they cheat.

You know, an agreement's good, but they cheat. And Mexico cheats also. But China cheated on your 2019 agreement. Can I tell you what? Phase one, they totally cheated and dropped it with Biden. You had a great deal. When Biden took over, he didn't push them. I would call up once every two

weeks saying you're not living up to the agreement and they'd buy more corn, more this. You see even Laura Ingraham is trying to like lead him to not attack Canada, but he can't help himself because he's a despicable human being who actually wants to annex and take over Canada the way Putin wants to take over Ukraine. Here, Donald Trump is, again, after attacking Canada, here he is praising Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin. I could go on and on. You get the point, though, that this is what is going on in most of this interview. Play this clip. Putin actually said to me, if you're my friend, I'd hate to see you as my enemy. He said that very strongly. But I had with all of that, I had a very good relationship with Putin. I had a very good relationship with President Xi, a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un of North Korea.

Lots of good relationships. And that's a positive thing. That's not a negative thing. But at the same time, I'm about our country. So that's why we're talking about tariffs. We'll be taking in trillions of dollars. I want to get to the tariffs in a minute because we're going to we're going to first hit the other. So absolutely despicable. I'll just show it to you one more time. Then Donald Trump says, look, Canada wasn't meant to be anything other than the 51st state of America. We don't need their lumber.

We don't need anything from them, he says. Here, play this clip. Canada, and here's my problem with Canada. Canada was meant to be the 51st state because we subsidize Canada by $200 billion a year. We don't need their cars. We don't need their lumber. We have a lot of lumber.

We freed it up, as you know, last week. We're freeing it up so that you can actually cut down a tree without being given the death penalty. Because what these radical environmentalists have done to our country, but we freed it up. But we don't need their lumber. We don't need their energy. We don't need anything. We certainly don't want their automobiles. They make a lot of millions of automobiles are sent in. I'd rather have a maid in Michigan. with you. We understand why you are boycotting all things American and American tourism because of the despicable Trump regime. And we are fighting from within to take back our democracy

from an authoritarian regime that has taken over our country right now. Here in this interview with Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump says that he wasn't able to do the ceasefire deal with Putin because ceasefires are hard. And then he spreads the lie that Russian troops have encircled the Ukrainian troops and that that's one of the reasons why they can't do a ceasefire. And that he and Putin are trying to save the Ukrainian troops from Russia killing everybody. Here, play this clip. And right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other and a ceasefire without going a little bit further it would have been tough russia has the advantage as you know they have encircled about 2 500 soldiers they are

nicely encircled and that's not good and we want to get it over with look we're doing this let me be clear what donald trump said there is 100 false r Russia has not encircled the Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region. That is just straight up Russian propaganda from Vladimir Putin. It is absolutely despicable that Donald Trump is parroting that, but everything he's saying here is despicable. Laura Ingraham here talks about how the Kremlin media actually stated that he demanded immediate cessation of aid to Ukraine and Donald Trump then lies and says, oh, he didn't say that. Here, play this clip. Negotiables mentioned by Putin.

It was reported that I think the Kremlin media actually stated that he demanded an immediate cessation of aid to Ukraine in order to get to this multi-step deal. No, we didn't talk about aid. Actually, we didn't talk about aid at all. We talked about a lot of things, but aid was never discussed. This episode of the Midas Touch podcast is brought to you by Wildgrain.

I thought you had the best negotiating plan that you were going to have peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. You don't even know what was said on the call. I mean, it's like not the art of the deal. It's like the art of the stupid and dangerous right now. The art of Donald Trump's obsequiousness. The art of Donald Trump surrendering. What a pathetic individual he is. Laura Ingraham then goes, are there circumstances you would ever defy a court order?

Like the court order that said you cannot send Americans to concentration camps or you cannot send migrants to concentration camps or people who just you divine and deem to be trained Deir Aga gang members. You have to like give them a process or let's just see where we are in 14 days. And Donald Trump's like, nah, I think that the number one, I think I've been in court more than anybody here, play this clip. Are there circumstances where you would defy a court order? Well, I think that number one, nobody's been through more courts than I have. I think nobody knows the courts any better than I have. I would say the chief judge does, but nobody knows them better than I do. Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement

today in public saying he didn't mention Trump by name, but he said that people should not be attacking federal judges who issue injunctions, go through the regular appeals process. But Trump, like a little freaking baby, is like, oh, he didn't say my name. He didn't say my name, so therefore he didn't mean me. Here, play this clip. What's your reaction to the courts stepping in to make a statement here? They didn't make a statement when Joe Biden decided to forgive all those student loans. Well, he didn't mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn't mention my name, but many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment of this judge. I don't know who the judge is, but he's radical left. He was Obama appointed. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, explains, this is the

game that every Republican has figured out. You can criticize something Trump has done on virtually anything as long as you don't actually mention his name. I've documented hundreds of examples of this. It's why he's our editor-in-chief he's the best in the business laura ingraham then asks donald trump if he believes that when people vandalize teslas if that's terrorism and donald trump says yes it's terrorism play this clip like and he backed me and he went and he got very much involved he thought he actually would go around saying if trump doesn't win our country is over but do you consider this an act of domestic terrorism? Sure, I think so. Why?

I think that if and when they catch the people, and I hope they do, the good thing is they have a lot of cameras in those places, and they've caught some already having to do with that. I think that you will find out that they're paid by people that are very highly political on the left. Meanwhile, it's because... Very weirdly, Donald Trump then brags that Elon Musk loves him

and loves him more than Kamala. Play this clip. Allies. So Elon is a patriot. And again, I hardly knew Elon until the election. And he turned out that he liked me better than he liked these radical lunatics that were in it, better than Kamala, better than Joe, because he's an intelligent person. He liked and he backed me and he went,

and he got very much involved. He thought, he actually would go around saying, if Trump doesn't win, our country is over. But do you get- Like, if you took a transcript of this and you said like a little baby is saying these things, like just his cadence, you like me, you like her, you like me.

Like, I would believe you that this was like a three-year-old, no offense to three-year-olds. Here, Donald Trump attacks federal employees, play this clip. But for federal judges, district court judges, to order a sitting president to reinstate fired employees, you're the chief executive officer of the United States, you order that these agencies be reviewed. Fire employees, many of whom didn't even report to work,

many of whom were scamming this country. And you see the same thing. I could read them off, and I did, during various speeches. I read off deal after deal after deal, all big scams. And we have a guy that wants to make a name for himself. You know, in many cases, they're just grandstanders. that wants to make a name for himself you know in many cases they're just grandstanders they want to make a name for themselves so here donald trump says that he would have liked to get a piece of the action of the money that's going to come in from the trump gold card which is how he says we're all going to get rich from the trump gold card you

see he's going to sell uh citizenship to russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs. Play this clip. Judge. That's the point. We have time. We're going to be making a lot of money because of tariffs. The good news is we're going to very soon be on an even keel. We're going to be taking a lot of money.

The Trump card, the gold card, whatever they want to call it, it's okay with me. Whatever's going to sell better is fine with me. It'd be nice to get a piece, but I don't get a piece. Okay, I get nothing out of it. All I do is want to make this country successful again. And then finally, Donald Trump lies and says that they found so much fraud in USAID. All this fraud they found. Play this clip. So much fraud, so much waste, so many employees that never showed up to work. and we have a judge from a very liberal state who ruled like that so bad for our country so i guess they closed the door you didn't find fraud and also you know how i know you didn't too where show me you're sending people to el salvador

concentration camps right so so where are all your people who are been arrested for fraud, for USAID fraud? Where are the criminals? Oh, wait a minute. Are you telling me that the Republicans passed continuing resolutions where they adopted these priorities? And until you, Elon Musk, decided that you were going to just lie about everything USAID was doing, you're telling me that Republicans were actually in favor of USAID and now they're not? Oh, you're telling me they're inconsistent and they're liars? Oh, big shocker when it comes to MAGA. How pathetic is this though? He spent an entire interview attacking Canada, saying how he wants to conquer it, which is not a trade war.

Those are the words of actual war. And it pisses me off. And that's why Canada has united in solidarity against this crap. It's pathetic. It's shameful. It's a stain on the United States of America. It's horrific. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers. And thank you for watching.
