World Leaders Challenge Trump’s Global Network as Setbacks Mount

This episode of the Midas Touch podcast is brought to you by WHOOP, the wearable health and fitness coach that gives you personalized insights into your sleep, recovery, strain, stress, and overall health. Listen, I've tried a bunch of wearables and I found a lot of them to be so overwhelming. I don't need another screen constantly tapping me, pinging me, and sending me notifications. But that's what I love about WHOOP. The WHOOP 5.0 wearable is screenless, so it just sits quietly on my wrist collecting data. Whenever I want, I can open the companion app and get this incredibly detailed picture of what's happening with my body and actually use that information to make proactive decisions. And with a one-year-old, sleep has become a bit of a luxury. WHOOP helps me pinpoint the things that are actually affecting me. Did that 4 p.m. cup of coffee hurt my sleep?

World leaders supporting democracy have delivered a death blow to Donald Trump's attempt to seize control over all of Latin America with his proxies. He was targeting Brazil with his puppet, Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of Jair Bolsonaro, who was expected to win the elections in Brazil yesterday as he won round one of the Brazil elections. He lost yesterday. President Lula went on to a pretty big victory, over 4 million votes. He was the first president to win the election. He was the first president to win separated Lula, who went on to win the Brazilian elections, versus Flavio Bolsonaro. Now Bolsonaro refuses to concede, while we have Prime Minister Carney of Canada congratulating President Lula. You have President Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico congratulating President Lula. We're seeing democracies across the world congratulate President Lula, and specifically focusing on a democratic victory. You have Flavio Bolsonaro, again, refusing to concede. You have all of these MAGA influencers, that same crew who spread all of the lies about James Tallarico going to a mental health facility in Ohio. That crew is basically now bolstering election lies about the Brazilian election, and they're trying to encourage people to take to the streets in Brazil. To do another Jair Bolsonaro-style insurrection, I suppose. And what this has also really exposed is this international fascist network that I've been describing over and over again here on the Midas Touch Network, where these MAGA influencers are part of this global authoritarian network. It's not simply in the United States. And I want to talk about in this video as well how this Lula victory is also devastating to the Don Jr., Brad Parscale, Jason Miller. And then there was this guy named Fernando Seremido, who's currently in prison in Bolivia for attempted femicide against his girlfriend, but he was the MAGA man in Latin America. Seremido was part of this. And I also want to talk in this video how I believe this is connected as well to some of these data centers in Russia. Like the Yandex data center, which was recently struck by Zelensky, who hit multiple Yandex data centers. That stopped a lot of the Russian bot activity, which I believe was playing a major part in the Bolsonaro campaign. And the fact that Fernando Seremido, the MAGA guy in Latin America, is in prison in Bolivia for the attempted femicide. I think he was working with those bots. So I think these were massive developments that, also, kind of happened, which I think changes the result from the first round to the second round right now. So let's just go and take a look at what's happening. Now, President Lula, victorious in Brazil, he understands the stakes. In his victory speech, he says, this country, Brazil, does not accept being in anyone's backyard. And that is a message being sent directly to Donald Trump and the despicable Trump regime. We are not in your backyard. We are not part of some Donrô doctrine. Brazil is sovereign. Lula went on to say, this was an election in which we had to overcome interference coming from outside the country through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A message also being sent there to Elon Musk, a message being sent there to Meta, a message being sent to other big tech platforms. That seek to rig the algorithms. Recall, not just rigged algorithms, in my view, by Elon Musk, but also Meta suppressing the Lula ads and Lula content while promoting Flavio Bolsonaro content, the Trump MAGA stooge, who has now lost and refuses to concede in typical Trump MAGA fashion, just as his dad, Jair Bolsonaro, did. Refusing to accept election results in his own country. And now he's on the brink of losing his Trump MAGA DNA. Lula goes on to say, for working people, we will provide protection. For criminals, we will provide prison. He goes on to talk about how here in Brazil, we will teach more mathematics, more engineering, because I don't want to remain dependent on Chinese or American artificial intelligence. I want to create a Brazilian one. I am very proud, Lula says, first of all, because I am the only president of the Republic, a major of the republic, a metal worker, without a university degree to have been democratically elected four times to lead this country. In the world, we had Roosevelt, who was elected four times, but he was unable to complete his term because he had a very serious illness. Now, little Lula will not want another term, but I will finish this term working harder than any of you. His term ends in 2031. So Jair Bolsonaro, the prior insurrectionist president who was sentenced to a 27-year prison sentence, will rot in prison until 2031. Lula goes on to say, it is not possible that we are not aware that a crime in the digital world must be treated just like a crime in real life. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes in this country, and trying to steer this country's election results. You see why the Magitek oligarch bros hated this guy, because he is now going to go after them and regulate the hell out of them fairly, make them pay their fair share, and try to stop their further interference. Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, the Trump regime is involved in a lot of CIA ops in Mexico right now. Claudia Scheinbaum, defending the sovereignty of Mexico, she writes, Long live democracy. The people of Brazil won. Congratulations, President Lula. Prime Minister Carney of Canada, as Donald Trump attacks Canada with all of the 51st state rhetoric. Donald Trump threatening what I say is not simply a trade war against Canada, but Trump uses the language of real war. He uses the language that Putin uses for Ukraine. Trump uses for Canada. The Midas, Maple Midas all went elbows up, standing up against the Trump regime. I see you, Maple Midas. Prime Minister Carney says, congratulations, President Lula, on your reelection in Brazil. The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let's seize this opportunity to make it even stronger together, to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both of our peoples, something that Donald Trump absolutely hates. Now, Flavio Bolsonaro, the right-wing magastuge who lost the election in Brazil, he said, I will not accept that the rules of the game were changed at the last minute. Once again, by Lula's friends and the federal Supreme Court, it is inexplicable that this happened. There is a lot to be clarified before Brazil simply recognizes this dirty trick that took place now in these elections. I will not give up on my Brazil. It is impossible to recognize the election results in the context of how things happened. We are going to use our legal team. We're going to request the annulment of these elections. What happened today was not something normal. In fact, it was something unacceptable. At 5.01 PM, Justice Zanin made a decision extending the election by two hours. This has never happened before in the history of Brazil. Dude, it wasn't even a close election. I mean, it was somewhat close, but I mean, we're talking about, it wasn't 100,000 votes. It was like a 4.4 million vote gap that had Lula win. So like, what are you whining about? You're whining about the fact that in Flavio Bolsonaro-controlled area, there was a lot of issues with transportation and a lot of issues trying to suppress the vote. So the court just said, okay, we just make sure everybody can vote. You don't want everybody to vote? What's the argument? And it's not even close. And then you had Nick Sorter, one of the super spreaders of the Tallarico lies and a MAGA super spreader. He goes, conservative Flavio Bolsonaro is refusing to concede Brazil's presidential election. Saying he'll file to annul the results. And then you have all of these like MAGA and MAGA Brazil people and this whole network. They go, it's like the same message. They're like this guy, Jim Paff. For a few weeks now, I've been expressing my concern to friends in Brazil, this might happen. They were worried too. Stolen election in Brazil. The last minute decision to extend voting hours was announced when many polling stations were already closing. It was an isolated result. Manipulation, Michael Casey. The CIA and State Department under Trump should immediately intervene in this very blatant coup occurring in Brazil. The election was unquestionably stolen from Bolsonaro. This should be treated as an act against American interest. Red lie in politics. A big MAGA account is like, insane man. The world just watched an election be stolen in real time. Cernovich, an ultra MAGA influencer. We must not allow another election to be stolen. We must not allow another election to be stolen in Brazil. Robby Starbuck, another MAGA influencer. I warned Brazilians during their last election that Lula would never lose an election if he was able to get into office. And that's happening now. It's in your face absurd. It'll just get more and more absurd as time goes on until people revolt. Then he'll run off to a country that offers him asylum. Joni Manorino, a MAGA extremist who always spreads these Trump regime lies. Why are we still allowing communists to participate in democracy? Every time we see a MAGA extremist, we see a MAGA extremist. Every time they commit voter fraud. Every time. It's time for President Trump to send a team for Lula just how he did for Maduro. What has been done tonight is unbelievable. The Brazilian people are being held hostage. The federal deputy in Brazil, Nicolas Ferreira, goes, changing the rules of the game in the middle of it isn't democratic. Let everything be clarified. Until then, Lula is not my president. Jason Miller, the MAGA Republican stooge, part of the Trump regime passed. Jason Miller, full statement. And he puts out the statement from Bolsonaro like he's Bolsonaro's guy, like he's consulting from Bolsonaro is what this, you know, why are you posting the full statement to Bolsonaro? We're challenging this. We're not conceding. Then you had to be fair. This conservative politician in Brazil, Jair Madel, says Flavio Bolsonaro loses by 4.4 million votes and refuses to acknowledge the defeat and only confirms why, just like his father, he cannot be a president. He cannot be a president. He cannot be elected. The coup plotting DNA is the family's biggest mark. And that coup plotting DNA is the globalist network of right-wing authoritarians. You know how they always like to say globalist this, globalist that. They're telling on themselves. The true globalist movement is a globalist authoritarian movement. And you have Trump and Putin working together in order to spread, in my opinion, this form of authoritarianism. We spend our whole lives looking forward to retirement. No alarm clock, no commute, nobody telling you where you need to be Monday morning. Sounds pretty good, right? But then retirement actually gets here. And there's a question nobody really warns you about. Now what? What do you do with your time? What gives you purpose? What gets you excited to get up in the morning? Well, if you want to learn more, you can go to our website, chapter.com/retirementgroup. Remember, we have a 4-part online series for a small group of people in the same transition to work through these questions together. Meaning, connection, what's next? Their next groups kick off in November. Groups are small and filling up, so don't wait. If you're retired or about to be, sign up at chapter.com/retirementgroup. You deserve a transition that's actually supported. Now, Donald Trump's more of the Putin bootlicker here. Putin's more of the architect of this. Trump is ripping to shreds the post-World War II architecture led by the United States. And you have these MAGA proxies and stooges in South America that Donald Trump's been trying to install. This is elevated by that Russian bot army. And then you have the kind of lieutenant on the ground, the MAGA man in Latin America, Fernando Ceramido is his name, 45-year-old guy. He was an Argentinian political consultant, went to Mar-a-Lago a lot, works with Don Jr. and Brad Parscale, and this whole MAGA network over here. On August 17, 2026, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, his pregnant partner, Bolivian lawyer and former president, Melinda Beller, 33-years-old, was shot multiple times outside a hotel by two men posing as fast food delivery drivers. She survived. Ceramido was arrested the next day at the airport while apparently trying to escape. Prosecutors charged him with masterminding the murder-for-hire. The Trump regime then had the prosecutor arrested for corruption because Bolivia has a Trump stooge as the leader of, as the president of Bolivia. The prosecutor is an independent office. The prosecutor gets arrested. The prosecutors, though lieutenants, continue to prosecute Ceramido, who remains in custody right now. He's still in preventative detention. And so Ceramido, in my view, was working with the Russian bot farms to spread a lot of this MAGA madness all throughout South America. At the same time, a lot of that bot farm activity was taking place and fueled, of course, by data centers in Russia, like the Yandex data center. Zelensky struck three Yandex data centers where we saw the bot activity decrease. So you have decreased bot activity in South America. You have the MAGA lieutenant in prison in Bolivia right now. And I think you see these MAGA influencer stooges kind of at a loss for what possibly could have happened here. And so I want to make sure I'm bringing those things together because I believe that that's what we're dealing with here. I mean, by the way, that's why in WTF America, the book that I wrote with my brothers, we talk about this international globalist authoritarian network and how pro-democracy forces too frequently think in terms of a specific election, like, oh, this is an election and that election, which is important. But if you don't understand the globalist authoritarian network that I just laid out there and I showed you how it was influencing America, this is what's going on throughout the world. And they're working together. It's important we pay attention because if democracies want to survive, there needs to be an international network of democracies. That's why I talk a lot on the Midas Touch network about the international aspect of Midas Touch, the maple Midas, right? What we're building in Midas Canada, what we want to build in the UK, in Europe, Australia, in South America, across the world right now, that's critical to us here. Meanwhile, there's been other major developments as well. Maria Karina Machado, who was many, most people believe was actually democratically elected in Venezuela and prevented from taking that position by the Maduro regime. She won the Nobel Prize. Trump stole her Nobel Prize, even though it's not like he gets the Nobel Prize. Now, look, I'm not a big fan of Maria Karina Machado in the sense that she's demonstrated to be kind of a Trump bootlicker. You could argue, well, what choice did she really have given the dynamics at play in the Western hemisphere? And she was playing Trump in order to get back to Venezuela. Fair argument if you want to make that argument. But she returned to Venezuela. By the way, obviously, I like Machado better than the Delce Rodriguez regime. Machado went to Venezuela from Colombia. She finally got back and she got a hero's welcome there. And it's showing that people don't like the Trump regime stooge, Delce Rodriguez. Let me show you what the people did in Caracas when Maria Karina Machado arrived in Caracas. And folks, I think we are going to be seeing the mass crowd start to assemble in Venezuela where they're going to want an election. Let's take a look at what happened over there. Now, it'll also be interesting to watch what happens with Donald Trump's illegal oil deal, where he seeks to steal Venezuelan oil, working with the corrupt Bentecourt. Now, Bentecourt, Alejandro Bentecourt, who's attached to the Rodriguez regime, must be really kind of worried right now as well, because the deal is basically he's Delce's proxy to do this deal with the U.S. Defense Department, where Trump created his own oil company that basically steals Venezuelan oil, except it's hypothetical oil because it needs to actually be drilled. You have to actually get it and then refine it and then drill for it, then refine it. And Venezuelan oil is very viscous and sour and sticky. And even if you get the oil, it's not easily refined to begin with. And it doesn't go in the strategic petroleum reserves. And it will take years, perhaps decades, to actually start the drilling and refining process there. I just want to let you know that. So what's going to happen with that deal or whatever the hell you even want to call it, which Trump was using to pretend that oil prices are going to, dramatically go down in the United States, which they're not. I'll show you this also. This was Maria Machado returning to Venezuela and meeting supporters. Here was another angle of it. Let's play it. And then there was other news as well, which I reported about. This was a big, big deal. And we've been talking about it. We've been talking about it. Shout out to the students in Belgrade. I know a lot of you watch the Midas Touch Network as well. The students in Belgrade led a student-list political party. They turned their protests into action. And recall that back a few years ago, there was this horrific train disaster in the city of Novi Sad, which resulted in the death of 16 people. It sparked these protests against Vucic, which we've been covering on a weekly basis. I've been, or every other week. So I would show you what the protests look like in Belgrade and elsewhere. That protest became a political party, which now overthrew Vucic, who called a snap election. He was the president. Then he wanted to be the prime minister, which has more power than the president. They called a snap election. He thought he was going to win. And he lost in a stunning defeat. Vucic is Trump-aligned, right-wing leader, close with Don Jr. Don Jr. met multiple times with Vucic. Kushner pursued real estate deals with the Vucic government. And then the student protests resulted in getting rid of Vucic. I'll just show you some of these celebrations on the street right here. And the new leader, the person who's likely going to be the prime minister, Radomir Satchich, says, Vucic was a Kushner, was a Ivanka, was a Trump-MAGA bootlicker as well. And then Trump, of course, is a Putin bootlicker. So it's like a Russian nesting doll situation. Let me show you the celebrations in the northern city of Novi Sad, which is where these protests began. Which became a movement that overthrew Vucic in this election. And Vucic did concede defeat. To his credit, he did concede defeat. Let's play. And then, of course, we can talk about what's going on in beautiful Albania, where the protests have turned violent over there in Albania. So let's take a look at what's going on in Albania. Over the Kushners and Ivanka being handed over the Cezanne Islands by their prime minister, Edi Rama. And then Edi Rama's like, oh, no, this is just an anti-Israel thing. This is like an anti-Netanyahu psyop against me. This is just propaganda. No, no, no, no. You gave a beautiful island to Kushner and Ivanka, and it highlights the situation of the broader corruption in Albania. So if you're Edi Rama right now, you are not feeling good about, you know, you're not feeling good about what is happening. And if you're Trump and you're part of this authoritarian network, you're seeing that there's major pushback to what's happening. Now, what else is happening? Netanyahu election Tuesday. Netanyahu sees the writing on the walls. I suspect Netanyahu will lose the election on Tuesday. We're seeing massive protests in Tel Aviv as well against the Netanyahu regime, which I highlighted yesterday in a video that I did. You can check out what those are. But I'm not sure if it's true. I'm not sure if it's true. I don't know what those protests look like. It's why I still think Netanyahu is looking for that false flag. Netanyahu is looking for any pretext to now start a war against Iran before the election because he sees his power slipping away right now. And so there is this issue as well between Netanyahu and the IDF chief of staff. Have you heard about this? Where the IDF chief of staff has even said, you can't order the IDF into a war unless there are certain authorizations. Because we think that you may try to do a false flag and get the IDF in a war against Iran before these elections. And then you have Netanyahu fighting with his own IDF chief. And the IDF chief is leaking to like News 12 and News 14 and other major networks in Israel what Netanyahu may have planned. So they're fighting in public on Israeli TV right now where the chief is saying, we think Netanyahu is going to try to invade Iran. Before the elections to try to derail the elections based on a national security pretext because Netanyahu is expected to lose. So a lot going on folks, but like these, this is a major world developments that are happening. And, you know, I'm not sure people tie it together the way we do here on the Midas Touch Network. So I want to tie it together. So you understand all of the links from the Yandex data center to Sarah Mado being arrested to what Netanyahu was doing. The links, by the way, between Netanyahu and Bolsonaro, the links between Netanyahu, the Mossad and what's happening in the South American elections. Because just think about it. When a Trump puppet stooge gets elected in South America, what's one of the first things that they do? They start signing deals with Netanyahu. They start, you know, supporting all of Netanyahu's agenda. They start going back to supporting Netanyahu's agenda. That's what we saw recently in Colombia, for example. And one by one, when a South American country falls to a, you know, to an, a MAGA puppet is put there. That's one of the first things they do is they totally change positions with Netanyahu.
