Speaker 8 World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his dastardly regime. And they are now coming out in public and they are calling him out.
They are calling out his weakness.

Speaker 8 And I think everybody's recognizing what an utter failure that meeting was, not just with Putin, which was just total humiliation for the United States, but the dog and pony show that was that meeting with the European leaders that Donald Trump exited so he can call Vladimir Putin on the phone and get instructions from Vladimir Putin about what to do.

Speaker 8 How embarrassing. Folks, there's no ceasefire, which Donald Trump promised he was going to do, or else there would be serious ramifications against Russia.
So that didn't happen.

Speaker 8 There's no tri-lat set, no trilateral meeting between Russia, Zelensky, and Donald Trump. Putin never wanted that to take place.

Speaker 8 And there are no security guarantees that Russia is okay with in Ukraine. That was always BS.

Speaker 8 And we've always been calling it out despite despite our own propaganda media in America saying, oh, Donald Trump got security guarantees from Putin. No, he didn't.

Speaker 8 What Donald Trump got from Putin was basically Putin dominating Donald Trump, Donald Trump rolling out the red

Speaker 8 carpet for Putin. It was so utterly disgusting, literally with our own soldiers on their knees.
So here's what French President Emmanuel Macron just had to say.

Speaker 8 And he goes, basically, he calls Donald Trump an idiot. Here, watch this.

Speaker 11 Several of us told him you were speaking to President Putin, he was bombing Ukraine.

Speaker 11 So, this of course shows the necessity to stop the massacres, the necessity for a truce, and it also shows at some point the facts reveal the intentions.

Speaker 3 That's all.

Speaker 11 Today, Russia, in fact, continues the war, intensifies it, wages war against Ukrainian civilians as well, and gives no signal of sincerely wanting peace.

Speaker 11 And the experience we have over the last 15 years with Mr. Putin, President Putin in his approach, is that every time he can win by war, when he thinks he can win by war, he does not negotiate peace.

Speaker 11 That's the reality. That's why I say, and I said again yesterday, you have an American president, European presidents, Ukrainian presidents who want peace.

Speaker 11 For my part, I have the greatest doubts about the reality of a desire for peace on the part of the Russian president, because as long as he thinks he can win by war, he will will do so.

Speaker 11 And his ultimate goal is to take as much territory as possible, to weaken Ukraine, and to have a Ukraine that is not viable alone or within the Russian sphere. This is quite obvious to everyone.

Speaker 11 And so

Speaker 11 our objective is simple.

Speaker 11 To have peace as soon as possible, to uphold international law and Ukrainian sovereignty, to minimize territorial losses for Ukraine, and especially to help Ukraine resist any new aggression, to have a Ukraine that has chosen Europe, to be able to continue choosing Europe freely, and to guarantee the security of Europeans.

Speaker 11 And these are the famous security guarantees we need for Ukraine today and tomorrow, and for us Europeans, because it is our security at stake there.

Speaker 8 Then in Canada, we saw an important meeting between the Prime Minister Kearney and the Premier of Ontario.

Speaker 8 Watch as they kind of meet Doug Ford and Kearney. There was a more extensive meeting, but let's play this clip.

Speaker 10 I know you're a bus fan.

Speaker 12 And I'm going to take this opportunity to congratulate you again on your leadership, obviously, of this province,

Speaker 12 but also of the Council of the Federation at a critical time for the country.

Speaker 12 You know, the work of the Federation itself, but also the work of the premiers with the federal government at a critical time for our economies has been essential. And

Speaker 12 I will

Speaker 12 lead the Prime Minister for

Speaker 13 the Interior and

Speaker 12 Council of the Fédération.

Speaker 12 Points crucial to our country. We've got a lot of work to do on major projects, on affordability, on security in our communities.

Speaker 12 And I think we're working well together, but we've got more to do and get it done, and we're going to have a good conversation to move forward.

Speaker 13 Good. Well, I look forward to it.
And thank you, Prime Minister, for having me by. We're going to have a real productive meeting here.

Speaker 13 And as I've mentioned to the Prime Minister and the Premiers before,

Speaker 13 we know President Trump's unpredictable. We have to find out what we need to do to make sure that we create the environment and the conditions for

Speaker 13 companies from around the world to continue investing in Canada. Yeah.
And we'll have that discussion. But thank you, everyone.

Speaker 10 Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 India is absolutely furious at the Trump regime.

Speaker 8 After decades and decades of the United States trying to cultivate better relations with India, trying to push India away from Russia and China towards the United States, which

Speaker 8 presidents have done before Trump regime. Donald Trump accepted Bitcoin and investments in crypto from Pakistan, India's enemy.

Speaker 8 And then Donald Trump basically became a Pakistan fanboy, rather than the world's largest democracy or our oldest democracy. in India,

Speaker 8 one of them.

Speaker 8 Donald Trump likes Pakistan. He loves authoritarian leaders.
That's what's going down right there. And then Donald Trump continues to try to take credit for bringing peace to India and Pakistan.

Speaker 8 And India is like, you didn't. Can you just stop freaking lying about that? You had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 8 But anyway, this was from India's media where they're like, at this point, India is just saying, we're going to buy more oil from the people you don't want us to, because we're moving away from the United States towards China.

Speaker 8 Here, watch this.

Speaker 14 You know, would one be calling this as a big message at this given point to the United States from India that, you know, we will not be bullied around in terms of who we choose to trade with.

Speaker 8 Now, I know this is not getting a lot of coverage in any other corporate news, but I focus a lot on how Donald Trump's destroyed the relationship with India because you're going to see that trend of these countries moving more to China.

Speaker 8 Countries are de-risking from the United States and they're moving towards China at this point. Where they used to de-risk away from China, Here is the president of Finland, Stoob.

Speaker 8 Here's what he has to say. And again, very clear how pissed off he is at Donald Trump and what went down at that meeting here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 15 It's personal to you, and not just because you happen to be the president of Finland and you've got the largest land border, all those things that I keep repeating. I mean, it's personal to you.

Speaker 15 Your father, your grandfather were both born in cities that Finland was forced to cede to the then Soviet Union, cities that are part of Russia now.

Speaker 15 So, I mean, do you have any doubts about Putin's ambitions when it comes to expanding Russian territory?

Speaker 8 Well, I mean,

Speaker 16 we've seen that in both Georgia and in Ukraine. But, you know, I keep on stressing the basics of it.
So, statehood is based on independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

Speaker 16 And after World War II, which for us was the Winter War and the War of Continuation, Finland retained independence, unlike, for instance, our Baltic friends, unfortunately.

Speaker 16 But we lost sovereignty to decide and we lost territory. But the difference there is that at that time, Finland was alone, but now Ukraine is not alone.

Speaker 16 And that's why I think it's so important that all of us, both Team Europe and Team US, keep on working for the independence, for the sovereignty, and the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Speaker 8 And again, just think about what these Trump regime

Speaker 8 sycophants are saying, like Treasury Secretary Scott Besant just going on fox and just like utterly like mocking India, like attacking India, you know, so you know, in no uncertain terms, play this clip.

Speaker 17 You know better than anyone that the Russian economy really isn't strong enough or big enough to carry on a sustained war. I mean, certainly not indefinitely.

Speaker 17 Couldn't do it without the help of India, buying mostly oil. Could not do it without the help of China, which is providing the bulk of the support to Russia.
Now, India has gotten

Speaker 17 hit with secondary tariffs, which I think is very positive, put them back on their heels a bit. But China really is the big contributor to Russia's current economic stability.

Speaker 17 Given that, why haven't we put significant secondary tariffs on China? for what they're doing to help Russia?

Speaker 3 Well, a couple of things there, Laura.

Speaker 18 One,

Speaker 18 China had always been buying Russian oil. So in 2022, 13% of their oil came from China, and now it's 16, and they want a diversified oil supply.
India, on the other hand,

Speaker 18 got about 1% of their oil from China in 2022. Now it's up to 37%.

Speaker 18 So they're doing what I call the Indian arbitrage. They're buying cheap Russian oil, selling petrochemicals back out.
Much of that is going to the richest families in India.

Speaker 18 We already have very high tariffs. on China, and now India is going to see what it feels like.

Speaker 17 But China buys an enormous amount of ag from Russia as well, And they are the biggest supporter of Russia. Without China, Russia couldn't be in this war.

Speaker 18 Do you not agree?

Speaker 18 I agree.

Speaker 20 They've

Speaker 18 $15 billion minimum in dual-use technologies and other support that I'm sure we don't know about.

Speaker 8 And again, here's one of Fox's top propagandists, Jesse Waters. Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 21 The Europeans were sitting around the Resolute desk yesterday. Like they were waiting for class to start.
Trump was giving Europe a geography lesson.

Speaker 21 He even put put up the big beautiful map and sent it home with Zelensky as homework. Zelensky can read a map like Trump can read a putt, we'll have a deal in no time.

Speaker 8 And I've showed this clip before, but just to remind you with Donald, because Donald Trump says it all the time now. Donald Trump's like, I solved eight wars.
I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaker 8 India and Pakistan would have nuked each other.

Speaker 8 The world wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me. Anyway, just we've showed this side by side before, but you need to see it because it deeply pisses India off that Donald Trump continues to say this.

Speaker 8 And then Donald Trump's become closer to Pakistan at this point than India. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 23 I think the deal I'm most proud of is the fact that we're dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan, and we were able to stop potentially a nuclear war through trade as opposed through bullets.

Speaker 23 You know, normally they do it through bullets, we do it through trade.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 23 I'm very proud of that.

Speaker 22 Prime Minister Modi clearly told President Trump that during this entire episode, there was never any discussion at any level about an India-US trade deal or US mediation between India and Pakistan.

Speaker 22 The discussion to halt military action occurred directly between India and Pakistan through existing channels between both armies and was made at Pakistan's request.

Speaker 22 Prime Minister Modi firmly stated that India has neither accepted mediation nor does it do so and never will do.

Speaker 22 There is complete political unanimity on this subject in India. President Trump understood the details explained by the Prime Minister.
and expressed support for India's fight against terrorism.

Speaker 22 Prime Minister Modi also said that India now sees terrorism not as a proxy war,

Speaker 22 but as a war.

Speaker 24 The American dream has changed. Forget the white picket fence.
For most Americans, the real dream is getting out of debt.

Speaker 24 If you're feeling the pressure from rising prices, mounting credit card debt, and just trying to stay afloat, I want you to know that there is a way out. Done with debt.

Speaker 3 They have one goal.

Speaker 24 break you free from debt permanently. They're not pushing loans or bankruptcy.

Speaker 24 Instead, they're tough negotiators go straight to your creditors, slashing what you owe, wiping out interest, and eliminating penalties. They don't stop until your debt is gone.

Speaker 24 And the best part, most clients see more money in their pocket in the first month. You've worked too hard to let debt steal your future.

Speaker 8 This was Prime Minister Carney after his talks with Premier Ford. Let's play it.

Speaker 25 Prime Minister, can we get an update on how trade talks are going? How are they going?

Speaker 12 Good morning.

Speaker 12 How are we going to be talking about that? Look, the, well, actually, I'm just going to meet with Minister LeBlanc.

Speaker 12 We'll have a discussion of that and an important discussion with Premier Ford this morning on a variety of aspects for the Ontario economy, the Canadian economy, which of course includes trade but goes much more to the issues that we can control and how we build out from within.

Speaker 25 Like what would some examples be?

Speaker 12 Well we'll talk about the housing sector, we'll talk about steel, auto, new sectors of the economy, including artificial intelligence,

Speaker 12 what we're doing in terms of making Canada competitive.

Speaker 25 What's your advice to President Zelensky regarding should he accept any deal?

Speaker 12 I gave that advice yesterday in a meeting with President Zelensky and the coalition.

Speaker 25 And what was it? What was it?

Speaker 12 Do Do you have anything to do with anything to say to Air Canada union workers?

Speaker 12 Just say the following. We recognize very much the critical role that flight attendants play

Speaker 12 in keeping Canadians and their families safe as they travel,

Speaker 12 comfortable as they travel.

Speaker 12 And it's important that they're compensated equitably at all times, fairly at all times.

Speaker 12 That's the reason why there have been negotiations over the course of the last eight months. It is disappointing that those negotiations did not come to an agreement.

Speaker 12 And it was the judgment of both the union and the company that they were at an impasse. That's not my judgment.
It's their judgment.

Speaker 12 And so we were in a situation. We are in a situation where literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians and visitors to our country are being disrupted by this action.
I urge both parties.

Speaker 12 to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Speaker 12 And the minister will have more to say. Minister Haiji will have more to say, maybe.

Speaker 8 And I had the opportunity to speak with the former national security advisor, Jake Sullivan. Here's how he told me what a massive failure what Trump's done with India is.

Speaker 10 Here, play this clip. I got to ask you, what do you think about what's going on with India? Donald Trump said that the first deal that he was going to make was with India.

Speaker 10 I have best friends with Modi.

Speaker 8 And then he just started.

Speaker 10 taking credit for resolving the India-Pakistan war, which is a very big, sensitive topic for India saying, you did not do that. Stop taking credit.
He does that every day.

Speaker 10 And that, like, you know, hurts their, hurts everything there. And it like crushes them.
That's not, they go, that's not true.

Speaker 10 Donald Trump took, like, his family took Bitcoin from the Pakistani Bitcoin sovereign fund, and they brought in the general from the Pakistan to be there.

Speaker 10 And India's like, what the hell are you doing? And then, meanwhile, you still have Apple building new factories because Tim Cook came in with the gold bar and he's building the factories in India.

Speaker 10 What do you make of what's happening there? I think this is one of the more underreported stories in Trump's foreign policy, and I'm really glad that you raised it.

Speaker 10 On a bipartisan basis, going back decades, the United States has worked to build its relationship with India, the world's largest democracy, a country that we should be aligned with on technology and talent and economics and so many other issues, and aligned with in dealing with this strategic threat from China.

Speaker 10 And we had come a long way on that. And now,

Speaker 10 in no small part, I think, because of Pakistan's willingness to do business deals with the Trump family,

Speaker 10 Trump has thrown the India relationship over the side. That is a huge strategic harm in its own right, because a strong U.S.-India relationship serves our interests.

Speaker 10 But imagine every other country in the world, you're Germany, you're Japan, you're Canada, you look at that and you say that could be us tomorrow.

Speaker 10 And that only reinforces your view that you got to hedge against the united states and having all of our friends and countries around the world decide they just can't rely on the u.s in any way shape or form that is not to the in the interest of the american people long term our word should be our bond we should be good for what we say our friends should be able to rely on us and that has always been our strength And what's happening with India right now has huge direct impacts, but it also has this reverberating impact across all of our relationships and partnerships in the world.

Speaker 8 I had an opportunity to meet with senior CIA analyst and former CIA spokesperson Ned Price. Here's what he told me about the meeting with Trump and Putin.

Speaker 19 And then you have the optics of it all.

Speaker 19 What President Putin has coveted, especially since President Obama called Russia a quote-unquote regional power in the waning days of his second term, is nothing more than to stand on the same plane as the U.S.

Speaker 19 president, to stand side by side, to be seen seen as an equal. And in some ways, President Trump didn't make President Putin come off as an equal.
He made him come off as a superior.

Speaker 19 Again,

Speaker 19 the pageantry, allowing him to speak first during the press conference, allowing him to set the rules for the press conference where they didn't take questions.

Speaker 19 President Putin got everything he wanted. optically.

Speaker 19 He got everything he wanted in terms of the imagery.

Speaker 19 But again, I am most concerned that he got everything he wanted substantively because he left Anchorage with President Trump firmly in his camp, even after a day of engagement with the Europeans yesterday at the White House.

Speaker 19 President Trump hasn't moved off that Russian position. He continues to advocate for it to this very hour.

Speaker 8 And Jake Sullivan, former national security advisor, also talked with me about how Donald Trump

Speaker 8 would make these fake deals and how dangerous Trump's fake deals are here. Play this clip.

Speaker 10 These trade deals that Trump announces that aren't on pieces of paper, that he just does via social media posts, and then it gets reported as, okay, I did a deal, but like there's literally no documentation for any of it.

Speaker 10 Have you in your entire career ever heard of anything like that at all?

Speaker 10 That's a deal via a social media post with no, there's no document, nobody, nobody knows about it at all, and terms are just made up. And what are the implications of that? Never seen it.

Speaker 10 And, you know, we've already immediately seen the implications of it. Just take Japan, for example.
He goes out and says, we got this deal with Japan. Japan's going to pay this amount of money.

Speaker 10 I get to decide what happens with the money, et cetera, et cetera. And the Japanese come out and say, no, that's not our understanding of the deal within hours.

Speaker 24 So

Speaker 10 if you don't actually put the terms down and get both sides to sign on the dotted line,

Speaker 10 then you're going to have profound misunderstandings about what the terms actually are. And at the end of the day, huge elements of this will never get implemented.

Speaker 10 And that's a problem because here you have the president touting all these so-called successes, but then our trading partners saying basically our understanding of the deal is totally different from that.

Speaker 10 And we're not bound to the kinds of claims that President Trump is making in his social media posts. This is no way to run a railroad, and it certainly isn't going to serve the interests of the U.S.

Speaker 10 All it's going to do is end up with these tariffs at heightened levels that are going to directly increase the costs of goods that Americans buy and take more money out of their pocketbooks with these just kind of vague promises of what we're getting on the other side of it.

Speaker 10 I, you know, I've never seen anything like it, and I think it is not a way to do business.

Speaker 8 Powerful statement out from the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria right now, saying security guarantees for Ukraine should include sustainable support from both the European Union and the U.S.

Speaker 8 We welcome President Trump's commitment. They just say that knowing knowing that Trump is not actually committed to it.

Speaker 8 Then it says, Today, the Coalition of the Willing emphasized the main task of stopping the killings and supporting a lasting and just peace based on the principles of international law.

Speaker 8 Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, writes, Australia continues to stand with Ukraine. Tonight, I took part in another meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, hosted by Starmer, Macrone,

Speaker 8 Frederick Mertz, Georgia Maloney, and other Democratic leaders. Australia welcomes ongoing efforts toward achieving a just and enduring peace, including yesterday's discussion in Washington.

Speaker 8 Donald Trump has so thoroughly disrespected Australia also. Australia hates Donald Trump right now.

Speaker 8 The idea of Donald Trump getting rid of AUKUS, the Australian-UK, U.S. agreement on nuclear weapons.
Australia, a lot of Australians regretted doing that deal in the first place.

Speaker 8 Anyway, Trump's making them regret it even more right now

Speaker 8 as the U.S. is kind of holding them hostage.
Also,

Speaker 8 Trump just not meeting with Anthony Al-Banisi.

Speaker 8 But it's not Al-Benisi's fault. I mean, Trump's a maniac authoritarian nutbag.
Like,

Speaker 8 I don't think Al-Banisi should meet with Donald Trump. You know, you know, you have Sky News in Australia, which is their Fox.
It's owned by the Murdochs.

Speaker 8 And they're like, It shows weakness by Al-Benisi that he's not met with Donald Trump. Screw that.
Screw that.

Speaker 8 Stand up to that fascist screw why would you want to meet with that why would you want to go to the white house in that gold gaudy bordella of freaking disgust it's just overall gross meanwhile ukraine um president zelensky um continues to build alliances he posted um how uh he reached out to the european council commissioner um antonio costa and he goes on to say how ukraine's working very closely with europe europe ukraine Ukraine, Europe, one and the same right now, standing shoulder to shoulder and side by side.

Speaker 8 I'll bring you in too so you could hear what

Speaker 8 Premier Ford had to say about his meeting with Carney, because I think it also just shows you there, conservative premier, provincial level, liberal prime minister, but they work together here.

Speaker 10 Play this clip.

Speaker 20 We said, you know, that we can never predict what Donald Trump is going to do, but we can predict how we can create the environment and the conditions for companies to come here and invest in direct foreign investment.

Speaker 20 The numbers came out a little while ago. Mind you, it was 2024.

Speaker 20 We had 409 companies, 39.875 billion and 25,000 jobs created in Ontario. But keep in mind, that's before Donald Trump.
So we have to beat him at his own game.

Speaker 20 and make sure that we're more competitive and onshore as many products as possible.

Speaker 26 So did you guys agree to any company action on that front today?

Speaker 20 We had a great discussion. Nothing happens immediately in that room, but

Speaker 20 we're on the same page.

Speaker 20 We have a great partnership and we're going to work jointly together to make sure that we're competitive and we create jobs.

Speaker 26 How many is it do you think we're going to get a deal right now? Percentage-wise, what would you put on the chances of Canada and the U.S. getting a trig deal?

Speaker 20 Well, the main one is the USMCA CUSMA deal. That's really the main one.

Speaker 20 But in the meantime, we have to hold firm and we have to create the environment for instance the steel sector you know the steel sector we have to look at the large infrastructure projects shipbuilding uh where algoma up in up in ontario uh they do the flatbed steel and make sure that large-scale infrastructure projects like a pipeline the steel pipes come from ontario premier premier did was your sense from the prime minister now that canada just has to accept that we're going to have tariffs from the United States until we renegotiate USMCA?

Speaker 26 Like, is there any movement on getting those removed?

Speaker 20 Well, I won't speak for the Prime Minister. What I can tell you, we're united on the message: let's start worrying about how we can be competitive here.

Speaker 20 Donald Trump is so unpredictable. I don't even know if he knows what he's doing tomorrow morning.

Speaker 20 So, let's start focusing on creating that environment. But

Speaker 26 is there an acceptance, I guess, from leaders that we'll just have the tariffs? Again,

Speaker 20 the Prime Minister will speak on that, but the President is unpredictable. He'll come out with some cockamany thing tomorrow that we don't even know about.

Speaker 26 So do you say that Mark Carney is being two elbows down in response to that unpredictable thing?

Speaker 20 Not at all. He's doing an incredible job.
He's working collaboratively with 12 other premiers and myself and working as Team Canada. And

Speaker 20 he's doing a very, very good job, in my opinion,

Speaker 20 put in his position dealing with Donald Trump. Let's stop worrying about Donald Trump.
We'll start focusing on Ontario and Canada and all the other provinces and territories.

Speaker 26 Premier, today is Pierre Polyev's by-election. If he gets elected, I'm wondering, what's your advice to him going into the fall sitting of the parliament?

Speaker 20 Work with the Prime Minister. How's it? Let's Team Canada.

Speaker 20 You know, let's put our political stripes aside and start working together collectively on large infrastructure projects, on other areas that he can cooperate with with the government. Last question.

Speaker 26 Do you have plans to meet with Polyev to push that message and make sure that he is working with the Prime Minister?

Speaker 20 All I want to do is move forward collectively as a government. I don't care about political stripes.
The person I'm working with right now is the Prime Minister of the day.

Speaker 20 And as far as I'm concerned, he's doing a really, really good job considering the position he's been put in. I challenge anyone, try to deal with Donald Trump, myself included.

Speaker 20 He's a different type of cat.

Speaker 20 But we're united. We know what we need to do.

Speaker 20 And we know that we need to cut the regulatory burdens off of companies, lower taxes, put money back into people's pockets, support companies that need investment to grow and expand here, and onshore the procurement side.

Speaker 20 It's absolutely critical.
