The Midas Touch Podcast is sponsored by ADT. Hey, this is Brett from the Midas Touch Podcast. I actually use ADT in my own home and it gives me so much peace of mind, especially with a one-year-old and my pup in the house. There's already enough to think about every day, so home security is one thing I really don't want to have to worry about. One of my favorite parts is the ADT Plus app. I can arm or disarm the system and check live camera feeds right from my phone, no matter where I am. And there have definitely been nights where I've gotten into bed, realized I forgot to set the alarm, and instead of getting back up, I just arm it right from the app. It's super convenient. ADT offers customizable systems that can be professionally installed, and they have the most company-operated monitoring centers in the industry, helping protect your home 24-7. Their technology can also help first responders locate you faster in an emergency. For me, it really comes down to trust. I use ADT, I trust ADT, and having that protection gives me one less thing to worry about so I can focus on my family and actually enjoy those little moments at home.

In a vote of 130 to 17, the United Nations voted to condemn the United States' blockade of Cuba. The United States celebrated the loss. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Wall said, Today, nearly triple the number of nations voted no, abstain. or just chose not to vote, turning their back on Havana's sham resolution at the U.N. More work to do, but the world is starting to push back on the Cuban regime propaganda as their corruption and oppression is exposed. And then Ambassador Walst does a photo of himself, like with the L sign. Dude, the vote was 130 to 17. You lost the vote. And the United Nations voted to condemn the U.S. lawful blockade of Cuba, which is destroying the lives of civilians in Cuba. And you're celebrating that as a victory. Also, as the United States under the Trump regime invited Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, to Atlanta for the G20 foreign ministers meeting taking place right now. More on that in a moment. At the United Nations, Russia vetoed a resolution proposal presented by the United States. Regarding the extension of the mandate of the United Nations mission in Western Sahara. The Reuters article explains, Russia vetoed the U.S. drafted resolution on Western Sahara. Russia imposed its veto to a U.S. draft resolution that would scale back the military component of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara and cement Morocco's autonomy plan as the only basis for negotiating a political settlement. To the United States, Russia vetoed the U.S. draft resolution on Western Sahara. So, Russia vetoed the U.S. plan, which the U.S. said is part of its foreign policy. Ambassador Mike Walz then posted, Russia just vetoed the U.S. resolution. Backed by 11 Security Council members. We must not fall back on a status quo that condemns refugees to another five decades in the camps. Well, then you invited Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, to Atlanta to the G20 foreign minister meeting. You see him entering right there. And on U.S. soil, he was holding meetings about transforming the security architecture in the Middle East as the regional powers take more control and push the United States out as Iran destroys all of the U.S. military bases and Iran is utilizing Russian and Chinese weapons and intelligence and dual-use parts as well. And then Russia was meeting with Saudi Arabia and all the regional powers and basically talking about moving the United States out of the region. And so you have Russia's foreign minister, Lavrov, taking this photo in Atlanta with Saudi Arabia's foreign minister. And they say they held the meeting on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial. The foreign ministers discussed the international agenda with a focus on regional security. Just talking about the United Nations for a moment as well. You'll recall that earlier this week, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Walz, like just freaked out when he was giving this deranged speech about Cuba. And that's where he was trying to get the votes against condemning the U.S. blockade of Cuba. And so he started holding up these photos of like Fidel Castro wearing a Rolex and of an island where the Castros have homes. And he's like, look at the wealth that they're living in. Look at him having a Rolex while the people of Cuba are suffering. Look at what's happening over here. The people need to rise up. To which the Cuban delegation launched an objection for the ad hominem attacks and calling for people to engage in an uprising against Cuba during the U.N. speech. And then I'll show you what happens. Just to remind you where U.S. ambassador Mike Walz started yelling, completely embarrassing the United States. Starts yelling at the Cuban ambassadors. I'm America, man. You don't treat me like this. This is the United States. And the Cuban ambassador is like, what are you talking about? Here, play this clip. This individual needs to back away from this podium. He's not going to intimidate me in the United States of America like he tries to intimidate political prisoners. This individual is the foreign minister of the Republican Party. And I'm the representative of the United States of America. Back up. Back up. And back away. This isn't a man I'm going to date. You're not going to intimidate me. Do you understand what you're dealing with? This is America. Back up. The rule is clear. This is the substance of the speech. There are no procedural rules. You can bring as many people as you want. Please sit down. Sit down. Fine. Sit down. When I receive the meeting, I listen to everybody. Then the Cuban foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez Paria, he then gave a speech addressing the fact that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Walz, started screaming. I am compelled to speak. I am compelled to denounce the disrespectful, provocative attitude shown by the delegation of the United States yesterday in this hall. Particularly the harassment and unconsented filming by some of its delegation against our delegation. That incident led to the involvement of U.N. security personnel. These are acts that are incompatible with decorum, respect for personal dignity and privacy that must prevail in this chamber. So then the Trump regime said that it wanted Viktor Orban, the former authoritarian leader of Hungary who lost the latest election, to become the new secretary general of the United Nations. And then the Hungarian prime minister, the new Hungarian prime minister, Peter Magyar, said appointing Viktor Orban as the U.N. secretary general would just mean the destruction of the United Nations. The prime minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, says, what are you talking about? I haven't even heard about this. He wants to appoint Viktor Orban. That's what Trump wants to do. These U.N. reports seem just to be amusing. Is this some sort of joke? And then you had Poland's foreign minister say the following. Despite, despite our old acquaintances and despite the support that President Karol Narocki provided him during the election campaign, I do not foresee Poland supporting Viktor Orban's candidacy for U.N. secretary general. We're paying close attention to what's going on in Poland as well. You know, as there's a lot of issues with their high court right now, and there's issues with the far right wing party in Poland that wasn't swearing in the appropriate judges. And then when the appropriate judges were, being sworn in, you then basically have this situation where their high court is, you know, under a lot of, there's a lot of major issues happening there. I'll do a deeper report about what's happening in Poland. I'll save that for another video. Meanwhile, you have China announcing that its leadership continues to meet with the European Union. China has always viewed the European Union as a partner, is committed to developing China-EU relations with sincerity and goodwill. and Chinese President Xi Jinping during his talk Talks with Germany's President Frank-Walton Steinmeier in Beijing on Friday talked about strengthening China's relationships with the European Union. Speaking about the European Union, yesterday there was a meeting in Montreal between the Prime Minister of Canada, the Canadian government, and the European Council and the European Union Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa, Prime Minister Carney, and they talked about Canada now becoming an associate member of the European Union. As the Trump regime attacked the global structure and attacked Canada and continued to attack Canada's sovereignty, you know, Canada and Europe strengthened their relationships, their free trade relationships, and their bond, and now they formed an official associate membership relationship. It's basically everything but actually being an official member of the European Union, and Prime Minister. I really don't care if you call it an associate membership or whatever, but we're going to now be much closer to the European Union. Of course, I mean, look, the United States is close, so we're going to, you know, we'll deal with them as we have to, but we no longer see, you know, that that relationship is done. It's severed. We've moved on, and now Canada and the European Union are close while the U.S. has further isolated itself. Here's what Prime Minister Carney said. Let's play. Canada being an associate member. Member of the European Union creates opportunity that starts with our young people. We'll begin negotiations to expand our participation in Erasmus plus Europe's world renowned student and skills exchange program. So what does that mean? It means through this program, a Canadian student can pursue their studies in Barcelona just as easily as they could have McGill. It means an apprentice welder in Manitoba can bring and complete their placement with an employer in Italy, bringing new skills back home. You know, what's getting absolutely ridiculous? The cost of car repairs. Cars today are basically computers on wheels and one little sensor goes bad. Suddenly you're looking at a repair bill for thousands of dollars. Nobody needs that surprise.

Play this clip. 50 years ago, our first framework agreement spoke on common heritage and especially affinity and the shared aspirations that unite us. Today, the time has come to build a broader and deeper political and institutional partnership, one that reflects the major partners, strategic allies and close friends we have become. That's why we're starting an ever-closer association. Our relationship is so special that we want to create something new, to go beyond a simple association, everything short of a full EU membership. Our association is very important. We want to create something new. To go beyond a simple association, everything short of a full EU membership. Our association will be the closest, deepest, and most unique of its kind. We'll do it through closer engagement at the highest political level and by identifying shared priorities and coordinating our responses to common challenges. We are already putting this into practices. So what about the Trump Globalist Authoritarian Network? Now you know from reading. WTF America: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy. Get it on hardcover and ebook or audio. We talk about the real globalists are the globalist authoritarian network, Trump and all of these stooges, the Trump, Putin, the Bolsonaros, the Orbans, the Reform Party in the UK, the ADR in Germany, Le Pen's party in France, in El Salvador, Bukele, in Colombia, the new leadership over there, Paz in Bolivia, I could keep going on and on. You get it. Flavio Bolsonaro, he's under the Trump regime protect mafia protection racket, and he put out a video yesterday from Florida basically saying, "The elections were rigged. The mathematical analysis shows it's impossible that I could have lose. This was all one gigantic rigged election. I named the real leader. We're going to do opposition of the Brazilian democracy from here in Florida." So you have that happening. Meanwhile, you had Delcy Rodriguez, Donald Trump's stooge in Venezuela, basically saying, "Hey, there's no real timeline for when I'm going to be doing an election. Well, we will see when it is," and Donald Trump continues to go out in these deranged speeches that he's giving, and he's like, "Don't worry. All of the money we've spent in the catastrophic war in Iran, we've made 10 times that from Venezuela," which is just a complete and utter lie. But now you have Maria Karina Machado, who was able to sneak back into Venezuela without the Trump regime support. She made her first comments publicly the other day, where she said that Delcy Rodriguez destroyed Venezuela, turned it into a sanctuary of criminal groups and the international mafia, and she called for elections. And the international mafia, although she has to still praise Trump and Rubio just because, you know, of their, you know. If she doesn't, then they'll, you know, go after her. And we've seen, you know, I've done lots of reporting on all of the horrific things that Trump and Rubio are doing in South America and throughout the world. But calling the international mafia, who do you think she's, what do you think she's talking about right over there? You know, I'm not the biggest Machado fan after she's had to, you know, she's done some horrific things with the Nobel Prize and everything. But like, I guess you can argue, look, she had to do what she had to do to get back to Venezuela. Meanwhile, in Albania. You have the prime minister there, Eddie Rama, you know, who allowed the Cezanne islands over there to be handed over to Kushner and Ivanka, who were on a boat with the Rothschilds. And they were with the Rothschilds and they saw the island in Albania. They said, look, look, honey, I discovered the island. It's mine. Can I ask Prime Minister Eddie Rama? There have been ongoing protests in Albania. A lot of these protests are now turning a bit violent in Albania as well. For most of the protests. It was peaceful and now it's turning violent. But any event, you know, the people there are protesting the corruption by this, you know, Albanian regime that's, you know, given this turn in this beautiful island to this like Trump and Steen oligarchical, you know, island. They're freaking pissed. And it highlights the broader corruption over there. Let me show you what it looked like in the parliament as opposition lawmakers lit flares inside the parliamentary chamber. After weeks of protests. I don't know. They're just demanding that the Trump aligned Kushner aligned puppet Eddie Rama resigned. Play this clip. So. The. Blanding him. She. But I started in a sense of the past. And then just the cut the. Glorious. So. The. Vicaso. But I started in a sense of. So. The. Blending out. This. But I didn't regularize. But didn't the software. You need to. I started in a sense. I put it in a software. Now, Donald Trump's good friend. Kim. Jong. Eun. Is preparing for World War three. That Kim Jong. Un. As. Well. Meanwhile. He. Is. Prepared. As. The. Trump. Is. Prepared. As. The. Trump. Is. Prepared. As. The. Trump. Regime. Is. Seemingly. Preparing. For. The. World. War. So. I. Was. Prepared. For. World. War. So. I. Was. Prepreared. For. World. War. So. I. Was. Prepared. For. World. War. So. I. Was. Prepared. For. World. scared of what the U.S. is threatening us with, and he says, I'm not going to hold back. Putin is a dictator who kills women and children, and he will continue doing so until he is forced to change course. German's foreign minister said the following about Sergei Lavrov arriving at the G20 in Atlanta. There will be no family photo featuring our European partners together with Mr. Lavrov. There is no normality with Russia. We must not send false visual signals. Meanwhile, part of the Trump globalist authoritarian regime in El Salvador, their leader, Naib Bukele, deploying 2,000 Salvadoran troops to Haiti, backed by the Trump regime. The operation follows the capture of four Salvadoran military personnel by gangs over there, allegedly, with sources suggesting the force could eventually reach 6,000. So, now you have El Salvador basically invading Haiti. There's a war everywhere under the Trump regime, and this is all part of the Trump regime. So, we're going to have to wait and see what happens. All part of the Trump globalist network. Also, you had the Trump regime agreeing to provide $35 million in military aid to Cameroon, specifically a Cameroonian unit accused of war crimes in exchange for accepting U.S. deportees. So, the Trump regime is deporting immigrants to a Cameroonian unit accused of war crimes. The package includes armored personnel carriers for the rapid intervention battalion, which previously lost U.S. assistance over allegations of torture and human rights abuse. And Cameroon has accepted 36 deportees under this arrangement. So, $35 million in military aid to a Cameroonian unit accused of war crimes for 36 people, a million dollars a person, basically, to destroy their lives and give them to Cameroon. Also, you had this development. The Trump regime is now sending dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana and other areas, but particularly in Louisiana, including relatives of Afghans who helped the U.S. military in the war against the Taliban. And the U.S. will deporting these Afghan immigrants who are relatives of family members who helped the U.S. fight the Taliban back to the Taliban to be killed by the Taliban. So, the Trump regime is sending these immigrants to their death to the Taliban when they were protected here because their family members helped the United States in the war against the Taliban. And meanwhile, the Trump regime is pressuring Lithuania to help crack the European Union's potash sanctions on Belarus. Donald Trump is so desperate for potash right now from Belarus, he wants to use Lithuania, Lithuania, in order to block the EU from sanctioning Belarusian potash. And the Trump regime, of course, preparing for catastrophic war with Iran. They've covered up the debt. The U.S. is covering up the deaths of the war. Another two deaths were added to the killed in action count yesterday. The Trump regime is sending interceptors to Israel. 80 U.S. refueling aircraft have been deployed to Israel. And the Trump regime is now likely going to strike the day after the U.S. is going to strike. So, the Trump regime is now likely going to strike the midterms, which would potentially unleash World War III based on what the consequences would be. We heard from Senator Chris Murphy, where he talked about what the consequences would likely be and how devastating it would be if Trump actually goes through with this bombing campaign against Iran, because Iran is prepared to obliterate the entire region. It has all its ballistic missiles. It has all of its cruise missiles. And it has all of its drones and upgraded drones ready to go. Did you get WTF America? Let me know. Thanks for watching.
