Donald Trump is attacking Ukraine and he is attacking Europe. He wants Europe to be under the sphere of influence of Russia just as Ukraine. And Donald Trump is trying to undermine both. Donald Trump's been posting that Europe is impotent and Europe is angry that Donald Trump is the one who will determine the spheres of influence in Europe and that it belongs to Russia. And the New York Post was reporting on that. At the same time, Donald Trump is trying to force Ukraine into another surrender move. Donald Trump is saying, 'Give up Danbos now. Give up the entire Donbos region,' which Russia has not been able to take over uh in the war, but just give it to Russia. And Ukraine's like, 'We still control 30 to 35% of Danbos. Russia would likely need to expend another four years and millions of lives to take it over. And if we just give it to them, they're going to use it as a staging 1:01 base to launch more attacks and get into Kev. So that's not a just and lasting piece, Donald. So let me tell you what Zalinsky did. And before getting into that, let me remind you, hit subscribe. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers. You know that our YouTube channel, our network is under attack by the Trump regime and MAGA. They want us shut down. You're not getting reporting like this really anywhere else. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not actually be subscribed. So, please subscribe right now. So, let me tell you what Zalinsky was doing. Again, remember to subscribe. Zalinsky first rushes to London, right? Where he holds a meeting with the French president, Emanuel Mcronone, the prime minister of the UK, Kier Starmer, and the chancellor of Germany, Frederick Merittz. They sit together and merits, the chancellor of Germany's like, 'We're very skeptical of what the US is doing. We don't trust the US.' and Kier Starmer and Mcronone are like, 'We need just lasting peace and not this BS that the US is doing.' But 2:02 they're showing strength and unity together. So that's what Zalinsky does first. Then he goes to Brussels in Belgium where the Trump regime is trying to pressure them to not release funds um that could frozen Russian assets and frozen Russian funds that can be used by Ukraine. So Zalinsky goes to Brussels. He meets with NATO Secretary General Mark Rut. He meets with the European Council uh President Antonio Costa and with the president of the European Commission, Ursula Vanderlane. And he has very productive meetings there. And at the same time, you had Donald Trump holding a meeting at the White House where Donald Trump was bragging that he doesn't give Ukraine any money. I give them nothing. He says, 'I give them nothing and they deserve nothing.' So, let's just talk about what's going down. Here's what Donald Trump said at the White House yesterday. Here, play this clip. As you know, Joe Biden gave them $350 3:00 billion dollars. You know, I gave them nothing. I gave him Well, I did give him javelins at the beginning and knocked out all that attacks, but and and Obama gave sheets. Remember Obama gave sheets and I gave javelins, but uh no, we have uh we have a great situation going over there except for one problem. You got a lot of people dying and I want to see that stop. Oh, and then Donald Trump announced that he was also going to do eight or nine championship fights at the UFC White House event. That's a big priority of his. See where his mind is just going? It's so utterly ridiculous. Um, so while that was taking place, you then had Zalinsky in London. And here's what Zalinsky talked about with respect to the meeting in London. He talked about how over the days and weeks, past 24 hours, we've been maintaining virtually roundthe-clock communications with our partners. I'm grateful for this level of attention and full engagement today. So yesterday in London together with Prime Minister Kier Starmer, we held a joint call with partners. There was strong representation. Finland, 4:00 Italy, Poland, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Turkey, the NATO Secretary General and the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission. We are coordinating to ensure that Europe's voice is taken into account in all matters that concern Europe. Ukraine making clear Ukraine is Europe. Europe is Ukraine. And let's be clear, if Russia takes over Ukraine, where's it going next? It's going right to Europe. I'll play for you what the former uh general of army command in Europe, my friend Ben Hajes, who you've seen on the Midas Touch Network, what he had to say. Zalinsky goes on to say, 'I briefed them on our contacts with the United States and the work on all proposals currently on the table.' He's saying this is an emergency meeting. In essence, the United States is now saying, 'Give up Danbos immediately.' And the issue also is that that's not just where Russia is going to stop. Russia is going to take Donbos, which they can't get by the military, and then they're going to use it to invade Kev. That's what's going to happen. Um, it is 5:00 important that we work together on all documents, including the overall peace framework, security guarantees, and Ukraine's post-war recovery. We spoke extensively about continued support for our country, bolstering air defense, contributions to the PURL initiative, and energy assistance are key priorities to sustaining our internal resilience amid Russia's attack on our people and our infrastructure. And those attacks are happening daily, right? on a daily basis, we're seeing drones, ballistic missiles strike Ukraine. Um, in addition to that meeting, he had the meeting in Brussels where he spoke with um, again Vander Lion Casta and Mark Rut, the secretary general of NATO. Now, here's what Trump wants. He wants Ukraine give up Donbos one way or another. Politico is reporting the following. Peace talks between the US and Ukraine have stumbled over one main issue. How to force Ukraine to give up what the Kremlin has failed to seize during the war. The 6:00 entirety of the Donbas region. On the territory issue, Americans are simple. Russia demands Ukraine to give up territories and the Americans keep thinking about how to make it happen. A senior European official familiar with the negotiation process told Political on conditions of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. The Americans insist that Ukraine must leave the Danbos one way or another. Ukraine has insisted that any peace deal must involve the war being frozen on current lines. At present, some 30% of Donbos is still in the Ukrainian hands. In general, the most realistic option is to stand where we stand, but the Russians are pressuring Keev to give up territories, the European official said. And the US keeps pushing Ukraine to agree to the deal quickly with President Donald Trump once again getting visibly frustrated with Keefe. Last week, Putin and Russia will take Danbas anyway. However, Ukraine believes that giving up the remaining 30% of the Donesk region, which includes the cities of with a total population of more than 100,000, would allow Putin to basically use that as a launching ground for other areas. 7:01 In August, Zinsky said it would take Russia about four years to fully occupy Donbas. Therefore, it is important how America will behave as a mediator or will it lead towards the Russians? It's bleeding towards the Russians. Donald Trump is Russia, Russia, Russia for a reason. Because Donald Trump loves Russia, Russia, Russia. And he wants to be Putin's bootlicker. That's what's going down. Hey everybody, Ben Meelis here from the Midas Touch Network. I wanted to let you know about my podcast partner, Michael Popac's new law firm. It's called the Popac Firm. Michael Popox pursuing his dream of starting his own law firm really based on the popular demand by all the mightest mighty and legal Afers who were approaching Michael Popac with their cases and saying can you help us and at that time Popac was not able to. So he went out on his own. He started the pop firm where he is now handling catastrophic injury cases like car accident cases, trucking cases, 8:01 malpractice cases, big negligence cases, wrongful death cases. So if you or someone you know have a case like this, the consultation with Popox Firm is free. Give them a call, see if you have a case. It's the popfirm.com. the popfirm.com or you can call 877 pop af. So 1877 pop af. Give Michael Popac a call. And I'm really proud of you, Popac. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in. So let me show you what went down in this meeting that took place between uh Germany's chancellor, the prime minister of the UK, and the president of France. Here you'll see Germany Chancellor Ameritz saying that he's skeptical about some details in America's peace plan. Here play this clip and that's why we need to make some important decisions. I'm skeptical about uh some of the details which we are seeing in the 9:00 documents coming from US side but we have to talk about that. That's why we are here. I think we have a lot of cards in our hands. uh the financing and the and the furniture of equipments and bringing programs to Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine is resisting in this war and the fact that the Russian economy is starting to suffer especially after uh our latest sanctions and the US sanctions and now I think the main issue is is a convergence between our our common positions Europeans and Ukrainians and the US to finalize this peace negotiations. We stand with Ukraine. Um, and it there to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and last do ceasefire. And that's why it's so important um that we repeatedly set out against what uh matters about Ukraine for Ukraine. And then yesterday or two days ago when Donald Trump was at that bizarre Kennedy Center event thing that he was doing, um he said that he's 10:00 disappointed that Zalinsky has not read the proposal to give up Donbas. Zillinsky has read the pro proposal. He knows it's traitorous and treasonous and that if he gives up Donbos, he's giving up all of Ukraine. He knows what your plan is. Your plan is to do that. And then the Trump regime is pressuring Brussels pre pressuring Belgium to not release any of the frozen Russian funds which it controls because Donald Trump wants to give it back to Putin and Trump wants to take a percentage of it for himself. That's what's going on. Here's what Donald Trump said at that weird event last night or two nights ago. Here, play this clip. What's your next step in Russia Ukraine talks after last week's negotiations? So, we've been speaking to President Putin and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders, including Zalinski, President Zalinski, and I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zalinski hasn't yet read the proposal. That was as of a few hours ago. His people love it, but he hasn't. Russia's fine with 11:00 it. Russia's, you know, Russia, Russia, I guess, would rather have the whole country when you think of it, but Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I'm not sure that Zillinski is fine with it. His people love it, but he hasn't read it. So, someday you'll explain that one to me, Jeff. I don't have an explanation, sir. And folks, things are moving very, very quickly here, and it's important that we keep up with all of the events. As we know uh Prime Minister Modi of India has been meeting with Putin and as the United States has alienated India, India is looking to see who its allies are going to be. So India is now looking to Russia and not the United States and India is looking to its bricks relationship where it views the US as being hostile to it as a result of Trump's conduct. So as this one commentator notes, India may becoming Europe's enemy by helping Russia and expanding drone production with Russia as the United States has really harmed 12:01 India's economy. remember the reporting that we did the United States tariffs on top of tariffs in India harming the uh national sovereignty of India by saying that by Trump claiming that he ended the war with Pakistan when he had nothing to do with it and that was embarrassing for Modi and Mod's regime and Modi was like you had nothing to do with it stop lying and saying those things another thing just so you can see the utter weakness taking place this is not getting enough attention while all of this is happening you have Japan summoning ing the ambassador from China to go and meet in Japan while the United States remains absolutely silent as there's a major major beyond diplomatic issue right now between Japan and China. As Japan said that it would need to step in to protect Taiwan if China invaded. China then threatened to kill the new prime minister of Japan, Takahishi, Prime Minister Takahishi. She then asserted herself and said, 'We're going to be 13:00 very clear about protecting our territorial areas. China is now using its radar systems and weapons to lock onto Japan's flight missions in the areas. Japan's lodged formal international complaints. The United States has remained silent. In fact, Trump's remained on Xi Jinping's side and called up Prime Minister Takahishi of Japan and told her, 'You got to really chill. You got to relax when it comes to China. stop saying things that make Xi Jinping upset. And at the same time, Donald Trump has just authorized American semiconductor chips that should be classified and kept here in the United States to be sold in China by Nvidia to to pump up the stock market uh and help Nvidia's bottom line and to help China at the expense of America's national uh security here. So, you have all of these developments taking place. We need to keep track of them all right now. But you see Zalinsk's move to kind of firmly cement his uh strength and his relationship in Europe and making it 14:01 clear that at this point it's basically the United States and Russia. Although it's really kind of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, India is being pushed in that direction. You have Europe, Canada, Australia, and the US. You know, Donald Trump's there talking about UFC fights and using the might and the strength of the United States in order to um in addition to bragging about UFC fights to undermine Ukraine, but without any clear objectives of how this is going to help the United States. It's going to be hurtful to the United States, going to be devastating to Ukraine and Europe. It's going to prop up Putin. And in fact, you should look at the reporting that I did on the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, which is the big military spending bill. There you have Congress trying to throw in these provisions that will essentially limit Donald Trump's ability to withdraw support from Ukraine and Europe and the Congress. Now, you know, Republicans who have been so feckless in the face of 15:02 Donald Trump, um they are worried about the United States losing uh its authority in the world and they're like putting these provisions. It's like, oh, you can't just totally leave Europe without coming to Congress and you can't, you know, defund Ukraine without coming to Congress. Well, it's maybe a little too late for that at this point, but you see the different alliances forming. Let me know what you think. Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to six million subscribers.
