In a surprising diplomatic twist, Putin extends thanks to both the West and China 🤝. Trump appears to align with Zelensky, raising eyebrows in MAGA circles 🇺🇸🇺🇦. Meanwhile, Ursula von der Leyen is praised as “so fantastic” 🙄—but by whom, and why? The Saudi–Israel connection shows signs of weakening ⚠️.

00:00In the orbit of the Second World War II, it was attracted to almost 80% of the population of the planet.
00:10The full explosion of the Nazi Germany, the military Japan, and their satellites in different regions of the world has become common forces of the United Nations.
00:23We always remember that the opening of the Second World War II after the final battle of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, the people of the China, all who fought in the name of the world.
00:53This is my video update on this Friday midday, May the 9th, Dan Abedi, Victory Day.
01:06Happy Victory Day to everyone around the world.
01:14Let's talk about some news.
01:19And let's start things off with the Victory Day Parade in Moscow in Red Square.
01:29There, Putin gave his speech and he said,
01:34We remember the lessons of World War II and will never agree with attempts to justify the executioners and slander the true victors.
01:44Well said.
01:48Putin, during his speech at Victory Day with so many world leaders at the event, Putin sitting next to Xi Jinping.
02:03He was there by Putin, he was there by Putin's side.
02:09Lula was there.
02:11Vucic there.
02:12Fico there.
02:16Lukashenko, Lukashenko, very excited when he saw the Belarusian military marching in Red Square.
02:26The Chinese military, the Egyptian military, so many, so many militaries marching in Red Square, celebrating May 9th.
02:42An impressive parade.
02:46And still going on, actually.
02:49It is still ongoing.
02:53So, we are getting reports that Putin and Xi, they are going to fast track the power of Siberia too.
03:05They held very long meetings yesterday.
03:08I read somewhere that the meetings between Putin and Xi were seven hours long.
03:16Either four or seven hours.
03:18Either way, that's a pretty long meeting between the two leaders.
03:23And the power of Siberia too.
03:25That is going to be fast tracked.
03:29Russia needs China.
03:30And after this Liberation Day trade war that Trump launched against China,
03:41China now absolutely needs Russia in a big way.
03:46That is why they are going to be working to fast track the power of Siberia too.
03:52Putin greeting Lula yesterday.
03:55You can tell that Putin likes Lula and Lula likes Putin.
04:00You can definitely see that they have a friendship.
04:05Brazil.
04:06Brazil.
04:07What else?
04:09Lukashenko, of course.
04:11Putin greeting Lukashenko yesterday.
04:13Greeting Vucic yesterday who made it.
04:15Bravo, Vucic.
04:17You did it, my man.
04:19You made it to Moscow.
04:21I made a mistake yesterday.
04:22I said that Vucic went through, through Doha.
04:26Thank you to everyone in the comments who pointed out that Vucic went through,
04:29through Azerbaijan, right?
04:32Yeah, he went through Azerbaijan.
04:34But he made it.
04:35That's what matters.
04:36And Fico.
04:38The heroic Fico representing Slovakia.
04:42He finally made it to Moscow.
04:44I believe he arrived at 9.30 or 10.30 in the evening.
04:48I'm not even, I'm not even going to explain Fico's route.
04:51He did not go through Poland.
04:53That was another mistake I made yesterday.
04:56But he went, I think he went through, through Hungary and then Bulgaria.
05:03And he went all around the world.
05:05But he eventually made it to Moscow as well.
05:09And I think the whole world was, was happy.
05:13Well, except for the European Union.
05:14And the whole world outside of the Collective West was very happy to see Vucic and Fico in Moscow.
05:23So good, good on them.
05:27All right.
05:28So I hope everyone is watching the parade and I hope they enjoy watching the parade.
05:35I had the honor and the privilege of attending a May 9th event.
05:41I didn't actually make it onto Red Square, but I was, I was watching from afar and I watched the parade go by.
05:49Anyway, and just really enjoyed the day everywhere you went in Moscow, any shop or any cafe, everywhere you were walking, you were given the ribbon, the St. George ribbon.
06:04And I remember some people gave me a hat as well, which was really cool.
06:11Anyway, that was, I think that was 2018, 2018, yeah, or 19.
06:18But it was an incredible day.
06:21We'll never forget it.
06:22Hopefully one day I can attend another May 9th event.
06:26So let's, let's move on now and talk about some other news going on in the world.
06:36And we will go to the United States and I think I heard a motorcycle speeding by back there.
06:44Anyway, we will go to the United States and we will talk about the U.S.-U.K. trade deal.
06:52It was indeed the U.K. that has signed the first Liberation Day tariff, tariff trade deal with the United States.
07:01Of course, it was the U.K.
07:03Who else would it be but the United Kingdom?
07:08008, Keir Stommer.
07:12Remember, it was, it was Stommer who openly, openly campaigned against Trump and campaigned for, for Harris.
07:22That was Stommer, everybody.
07:27Lammy, Lammy was posting all kinds of nasty stuff about, about Trump.
07:32That was back in 2017, 18, 19.
07:38There we go.
07:39There's that motorcycle going back and forth.
07:41Yeah, Lammy absolutely despises Trump, the foreign, the foreign minister of the U.K.
07:50Stommer campaigning for, for Harris.
07:54But here he is.
07:55Here he is signing a trade deal with Trump.
07:58They had a phone call.
07:59It was, it was on video, published everywhere.
08:03The phone call between Trump and Stommer as they celebrated signing the first Liberation Day tariff trade deal.
08:12So, the U.K. needed this trade deal.
08:17This is good for the U.K., for, for the U.K. economy that Stommer is sinking as he continues to send billions and billions to the Alinsky regime.
08:26So, he needed this trade deal for, for his sinking economy and his economic policies.
08:36And, and the United States, I don't think this is that important of, of an actual trade deal with the U.K.
08:45I don't think it really moves the, the needle much for the U.S. economy, but it was important for the Trump administration to get some sort of trade deal signed.
08:58Because a lot of people were asking a lot of questions, a lot of doubts going on.
09:03Where, where are the trade deals that you promised us, President Trump?
09:07You said everyone was lining up for a trade deal.
09:10We have not seen anything yet.
09:12And so, I think, I think the U.K. did Trump a favor and said, okay, we'll sign this deal.
09:18The U.S., of course, did the U.K. a favor as well because the U.K. needs this trade deal.
09:22So, they both needed each other.
09:24Stommer needed Trump.
09:25Trump needed Stommer.
09:27The two men despise each other.
09:29I don't think that's, that's a secret.
09:31But, they came together and they signed this, this trade deal.
09:36So, that was, that was the big tariff announcement.
09:45The tariff deal that went down yesterday.
09:47Trump was talking it up.
09:49Yesterday, the mainstream media was saying it was the U.K. that was going to sign the trade deal.
09:56And sure enough, it was the U.K.
09:57Anyway, so, Trump, he gave a press conference after the deal was signed with the U.K. and with 008.
10:09And he was asked, of course, about Project Ukraine.
10:15And, and Trump had a phone call with Alensky yesterday.
10:22And, and in this phone call, Trump, well, Trump posted it on Truth Social.
10:30So, we kind of don't even need a readout because Trump posted the, the results of the phone call on Truth Social.
10:37But, but Trump said that he now supports a 30, a 30, a 30 day unconditional ceasefire.
10:45Yeah, Trump now supports a 30 day unconditional ceasefire.
10:51Exactly what the U.K., the E.U. and Alensky support.
10:57A 30 day immediate, 30 day unconditional ceasefire.
11:00Alensky, he put out a statement and he said that Ukraine is ready for an immediate 30 day ceasefire as well.
11:06After he spoke with President Trump, U.S. President Trump.
11:10And this is what Trump posted on Truth Social.
11:12Talks with Russia, Ukraine continue.
11:15The U.S. calls for, ideally, a 30 day unconditional ceasefire.
11:19Hopefully, an acceptable ceasefire will be observed.
11:23And both countries will be held accountable for respecting the sanctity of these direct negotiations.
11:31What direct negotiations?
11:32Anyway, if, if the ceasefire is not respected, the U.S. and its partners will impose further sanctions.
11:39He's talking about Russia.
11:40Thousands of young soldiers are dying on a weekly basis and everybody should want it to stop.
11:46I do.
11:47And the United States of America does also.
11:49As president, I will stay committed to securing peace between Russia and Ukraine together with the Europeans and the lasting peace it will be.
11:58The ceasefire must ultimately build a peace agreement.
12:02It can all be done very quickly.
12:03And I will be available on a moment's notice if my services are needed.
12:08Thank you for your attention to this matter.
12:10Okay, so now the, the Trump administration is perfectly aligned at the moment because this can change tomorrow.
12:19But at the moment, Trump is perfectly aligned with, with the European Union, the UK and the Aletsky regime when it comes to Project Ukraine.
12:28There are no direct negotiations.
12:30The U.S. is not a mediator.
12:32The U.S. is a party to the war.
12:34There are no direct negotiations going on.
12:36There were, there were about a month or two ago, there were talks, bilateral talks taking place between the United States and, and Russia.
12:44And that was the right way to, to approach this, but Trump decided to, to listen to, uh, to Kellogg and to Lindsey Graham and to ditch the, the Whitcoff bilateral talks and to, to move closer to the, uh, the UK, the EU and Ukraine.
13:05And now he is calling for a 30 day unconditional ceasefire, which Russia has said about a gazillion freaking times that, uh, that they're not looking for an unconditional ceasefire.
13:19They don't want an unconditional ceasefire.
13:22An unconditional ceasefire does not, uh, resolve the root causes of the problem.
13:27And of course, everybody, I mean, everybody knows that, uh, an unconditional ceasefire is, uh, is just a way for Ukraine and for NATO to, uh, to rearm and to, uh, to rebuild the, uh, the military so that they can continue to, to fight Russia.
13:49And of course, to, uh, to, uh, to stop Russia's advance in Russia's momentum because Russia is winning, they are advancing, they're grinding down the, the NATO proxy.
14:02And, uh, and of course they would want an unconditional ceasefire.
14:07They want a freeze.
14:08They want the Kellogg freeze.
14:10A freeze in place is what Kellogg called it.
14:13Everyone knows that this is a, this is a trick.
14:16This is a Minsk three trick.
14:18Everyone knows this.
14:19Even Trump knows this.
14:20Trump knows this.
14:22Stommer knows this.
14:23Zelensky knows this.
14:24Of course, the Russians know this.
14:25I know this.
14:26You know this.
14:27But, uh, here is Trump just repeating everything that Aletsky told him on the phone call, which is, which is how Trump operates, which is why I say tomorrow he may speak to Putin.
14:38And we are getting reports from, uh, Bloomberg, from, uh, from Ushakov, who said that, uh, that we are getting close to a Putin Trump meeting.
14:48It's not going to happen in Saudi Arabia when Putin goes to, when, uh, Trump goes to Saudi Arabia next week.
14:53Putin's not going to go to Saudi Arabia to meet Trump.
14:55But, uh, Bloomberg is reporting, according to sources in the Kremlin, that we are getting close to a Putin Trump meeting.
15:00So, of course, all of this could change when Trump speaks to Putin, because that's, that's how Trump operates.
15:06I think I've, I've got Trump down when it comes to this.
15:10The last person that speaks to Trump, that is Trump's position.
15:13That's, that's just how he's, he's conducting foreign policy.
15:17That's how he's doing it.
15:19So, as of this moment, the United States is completely aligned with the Aletsky regime and with the rest of the collective West.
15:26And they are calling for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
15:30It's a non-starter.
15:31But anyway, that's Trump's message on Truth Social.
15:34So, and, uh, and then, and then Trump said something really interesting.
15:42Okay, he said something really interesting as he was talking about Project Ukraine.
15:46He actually said that he may, uh, ask China for help.
15:51He may actually ask China for help.
15:54At least this is what he said.
15:55He may contact China and ask them to help in order to put, uh, pressure on Russia to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
16:02What planet are you living on, man?
16:08Yeah, China.
16:09Did you not see, uh, Xi Jinping sitting next to Putin?
16:12Did you not see all the agreements that they signed?
16:17Yeah, you, you, you've got a, a trade war, a tariff trade war that you've, uh, launched against China.
16:24And, uh, you think that China now is going to come to your rescue and, and get the United States out of this mess.
16:32That, uh, that has now become Trump's war.
16:36Man, what a, oh, what an own goal.
16:39What an own goal by the Trump administration.
16:42And talk about letting Biden and Sullivan and Blinken and Nuland off the hook.
16:48Unforgivable.
16:48You let Biden and Blinken and Sullivan and Nuland and all these people off the hook by deciding to, uh, to make the Ukraine war your war.
16:56Trump administration.
16:57What were you thinking, man?
16:59What were you thinking?
17:02Anyway, China's not going to, to work with the United States in order to put pressure on, uh, on Russia to agree to, uh, to a ceasefire.
17:12That's not going to happen.
17:14Trump said in his truth social post that he's going to, to put sanctions.
17:18He's talking about Russia.
17:19He didn't say sanctions on Russia, but we know that's what he's talking about.
17:22That's Lindsey Graham speaking.
17:24That's the Lindsey Graham influence.
17:26500% tariffs on any country that decides to, uh, to purchase Russian oil.
17:33Secondary sanctions, according to Lindsey Graham.
17:35Why 500%?
17:37Why not make it, why not make it a hundred gazillion million percent, uh, sanctions on, uh, any country that buys Russian energy?
17:48Why 500%?
17:50A gazillion percent.
17:53Oh, man.
17:54And how have the sanctions been working out for you, uh, Collective West, U.S., EU?
18:00How have those sanctions been working out?
18:02Not working out well at all.
18:05The last thing that the United States needs, the last thing that the Trump administration needs, is, uh, is more, uh, energy sanctions that don't work against Russia and will boomerang right back at, uh, at the Collective West economies, including the United States economy.
18:20That's the last thing that the U.S. needs.
18:22Do not listen to Lindsey Graham.
18:24Why are you listening to Lindsey Graham?
18:26My God.
18:28My God.
18:29Anyway, uh, Trump says he will ask China to help with Ukraine conflict resolution.
18:33The U.S.
18:34President believes Beijing can help bring the positions of Moscow and Kiev closer, making peace talks possible.
18:42It is a natural thing to ask, the president said, when asked by a journalist whether he could ask China to help bridge the gap between Russia and Ukraine.
18:50I think so, yes, he replied.
18:54So Trump was asked about, uh, meeting Ursula.
18:58Now that he's got a U.K. trade deal wrapped up, how about a U.S. EU trade deal wrapped up?
19:04And, uh, he was asked by a journalist, when are you going to meet with Ursula, Ursula von der Leyen?
19:11When are you going to meet with Ursula von der Leyen?
19:13Or are you going to meet with Ursula von der Leyen was the, the question.
19:17And, uh, Trump's response to the journalist was, and this should be my clown world, but, um, I'm going to talk about this right now.
19:26Trump's response was that, uh, yeah, she, in reference to Ursula, she is, uh, fantastic.
19:33She is so fantastic.
19:34He said, not fantastic.
19:36I believe he said so fantastic.
19:39And then he said that, that he saw her a couple of, uh, days ago.
19:44He said, I saw her a few days ago and yeah, we're going to, to meet.
19:49Really?
19:50When did, when did Trump see Ursula or meet with Ursula a few days ago?
19:57See Ursula a few days ago?
19:58No, what is he talking about?
20:00Was he, was he at some sort of event?
20:02I don't know.
20:03I'm asking a, a serious question here.
20:05Was Trump at an, at an event and Ursula was at that event and they saw each other or they met with each other?
20:11I don't know.
20:12No, I'm asking.
20:13And maybe I missed something, but yeah, she's fantastic.
20:18Trump obviously had no idea who the reporter was talking about.
20:23Maybe he didn't, he didn't hear the, the reporter say Ursula von der Leyen.
20:27Maybe he doesn't recognize her by that name.
20:29Maybe the reporter should have said Ursula van der cowgirl.
20:32I don't know.
20:34Van der pirate.
20:35Maybe he should have said, when are you going to meet with van der pirate?
20:40I don't know.
20:41I don't think he, he heard the reporter.
20:44I don't think he understood who the reporter was talking about.
20:47And so he just started to, to ad lib it, right?
20:51He just started to make things up, improvise, improvisation.
20:56Yeah.
20:57So he said that she's fantastic.
20:58And then I saw her a couple of days ago.
21:00She's fantastic.
21:03Yep.
21:04Saw her a couple of days ago.
21:05We're going to meet.
21:06Absolutely.
21:06We're going to meet.
21:08Politico put out, uh, an article with the title.
21:12Trump says he wants to meet so fantastic.
21:15Von der Leyen.
21:16U S president thinks the EU was set up to screw America and suddenly seems to like its boss.
21:24So Politico is, is poking fun at, at this exchange that happened in the Oval Office.
21:33What did Trump say?
21:34Oh my God.
21:35What did he say?
21:36He said, I saw her a few days ago.
21:38The reporter asked, are you going to meet Ursula von der Leyen anytime soon?
21:43And Trump said, oh, she's so fantastic, right?
21:46She's so fantastic.
21:47I hope we're going to meet.
21:48The answer is yes.
21:49I saw her actually, I saw her a few days ago and I, I think that, uh, we'll definitely meet, yeah, the European Union's big thing.
22:12They want to make a deal very badly.
22:13You know, everybody wants to make a deal.
22:14Look, everybody wants to make a deal with the United States.
22:16And we're doing that.
22:17We're making, we're going to make fair deals.
22:20He either did not know who, who the reporter was talking about, which I would say kudos to Trump.
22:27If he doesn't know who Ursula von der Leyen is, I would say respect, seriously respect.
22:33That's how insignificant, uh, she is to the United States.
22:37That's, that's, that's a vassal right there.
22:39If he didn't, if he doesn't know who she is, but, uh, either that or he, uh, he didn't, he didn't hear what the reporter asked.
22:46And he didn't want to ask the reporter.
22:48Can you please say the name again?
22:49So he just started to improvise.
22:53She's so fantastic, stunning and brave, stunning and brave, fantastic, stunning and brave.
23:00Ursula, we've got tools.
23:03We've got tools.
23:05Vanderleyen.
23:05So the minerals deal was signed, not signed, was approved.
23:12The minerals deal had, had been signed by Besant and, and Ukraine.
23:16And it was now, it has now been approved by the, the Rada, by the Ukraine parliament.
23:23They have signed the minerals deal.
23:26And the reports are that they signed this deal without even reading the other, uh, two documents.
23:33We have not seen the other two documents.
23:35There are reports claiming that the two documents have been leaked.
23:38The imported document being the, uh, limited partners agreement.
23:43Uh, I have looked for this document.
23:45I have not found it anywhere.
23:47Maybe I'm missing something.
23:49The, the one document, there were three documents in total.
23:52At least that's what we're being told.
23:53There were three documents in total that make up this minerals deal, which is really not a minerals deal.
23:58It's, it's an investment fund.
24:00But, um, the one document, which is a type of umbrella agreement really doesn't say much.
24:07It doesn't say anything at all, actually very vague.
24:10And, uh, and this was, uh, published, uh, released by Ukraine, uh, parliament and government officials.
24:19So that document has been leaked, but that document tells us nothing.
24:22And it constantly references the limited partnership agreement.
24:27That's the main document that we need to see.
24:29I searched for it because there are some people saying that they've read this document.
24:33They've seen this document.
24:34I have not been able to find it.
24:35Once again, I might be, uh, making a mistake.
24:38I might be missing something, but I haven't seen this limited partnership agreement.
24:41And the reports that we're getting out of Kiev is that most of the people in parliament, they, uh, voted to approve the investment fund deal without even reading the three documents.
24:55We don't even know if the other two documents were signed.
24:57We don't know.
25:01We've heard reports saying that they were signed.
25:04We've heard other people saying that they're still, uh, working them out and they're still deciding if they're going to sign them.
25:09Ukraine is deciding if they're going to sign these other two documents.
25:12We don't even know the status of the, of the signatures of these, uh, other two documents.
25:17But the parliament went ahead and, and approved this investment fund.
25:24Here is a post by Anatoly Sarish, who says the Ukrainian parliament is the only one in the world that votes for an agreement, turning the country into a colony without even reading it.
25:37They did not read the agreement on mineral resources and voted unanimously.
25:42Remember Alensky's threat to the members of parliament, no U S visa.
25:50If you do not vote, uh, to approve this, uh, agreement.
25:56So what did the parliament members say?
25:58They said, crap, if I can't get a visa to the United States, how am I going to check up on my, on my banks and my, uh, properties, or if everything collapses in Ukraine, what's going to be my exit
26:12plan if I don't have a plan if I don't have a U S visa?
26:14And so they voted, they voted to approve this, this agreement, which according to, to reports, they did not even read.
26:26And, and we know what this agreement is about.
26:29We talked about it on, uh, on the Duran.
26:32It's an investment fund.
26:34It's a way to keep the washing machine spinning in Ukraine.
26:37It's going to make the neocons happy.
26:40It's going to make the Democrats happy.
26:41It's going to make, uh, uh, Republicans, some Republicans happy.
26:46It's going to make the, the think tanks and the NGOs and the military industrial complex, very happy.
26:51They're going to have this washing machine in Ukraine continue for at least, uh, 10 years, because all the money in this investment fund will remain in Ukraine.
27:01And, uh, Ukraine is going to put money into this fund from the, from the, uh, profits of their, uh, their energy, their resources and stuff like that.
27:11That's how they're going to contribute to this fund.
27:13The U S is going to contribute to this fund via direct investment or by, uh, giving weapons to the Alensky regime on credit.
27:21And the money in the washing machine is going to be in Ukraine.
27:25It's going to stay in Ukraine in this account.
27:28And it's going to go round and round and round.
27:30At least that's the information that we have from the one agreement that was released.
27:35And from the ex posts of the Ukraine, uh, I believe she is the economy minister who signed the agreement.
27:42That's the information that we have to go off of.
27:44So, uh, unless we see the limited partnership agreements, what we are talking about and something changes, we have to see the limited partnership agreement, but going off of the information that we do have, this is an investment fund meant to open up an offshore account in Ukraine, which will keep the money put into this account in Ukraine for 10 years.
28:07That's what we're talking about.
28:08And we had a statement from the finance minister of Ukraine, Sergei Marchenko yesterday, who revealed that Ukraine's debt doubles in three years, Ukraine's debt doubles in three years.
28:26And he also said that Ukraine will be unable to repay its foreign creditors in the next 30 years with public debt nearing 100% of GDP.
28:34The economy minister added that the Ukraine will continue to borrow money, so it will not be able to pay its debts for 30 years.
28:46Everything's doubling, but you know what?
28:50We're going to continue to borrow.
28:52If you keep on giving us the money, we'll continue to take it.
28:55Of course, they will continue to take it.
28:59And when it all collapses, all the money is going to disappear.
29:04It's going to go bye-bye.
29:05And then one day, maybe three or four years from now, we're going to get a report from the Daily Mail or from the Telegraph that some former Ukraine generals or military officials,
29:20along with some former NATO generals and military officials, have decided to buy a UK football club or a Spanish football club.
29:31And everyone's going to ask, where did they get the money to buy this football club?
29:35You watch.
29:36That's exactly what's going to happen.
29:37I don't know what's going on this evening here.
29:41I wonder what event is taking place.
29:44Maybe something for May 9th.
29:46I don't know.
29:47Maybe.
29:48That would be cool.
29:52So that's the news from Ukraine.
29:56Let's shift gears, return back to Trump, but talk about Netanyahu and Israel.
30:05Because we are getting two reports connected to Netanyahu and Trump.
30:10And one of the reports is claiming that Trump is cutting off his support of Netanyahu.
30:19And the report claims that Trump is doing this because he feels as if Netanyahu has been manipulating him.
30:28That's the report.
30:29And the other news is that the Trump White House is going to be delinking the Saudi nuclear deal and Israeli-Saudi diplomatic ties.
30:48So those are two reports that we're getting connected to Netanyahu and Israel and the Trump administration.
30:56This is coming from TRT, but it's being reported by all of the mainstream media outlets.
31:02And they are saying that Trump reportedly cut ties with Netanyahu over manipulation concerns.
31:07Israeli Army Radio says U.S. President Donald Trump has cut off direct contact with Benjamin Netanyahu amid growing bilateral tensions.
31:18So according to the reports, there was some sort of an Israeli Army radio official told the media that the Trump administration is going to be cutting off ties, support to Netanyahu.
31:40Some of this is connected to Mike Waltz and everything that happened with Mike Waltz and Signal, the Signal chat app that he was using to speak with Netanyahu or stuff like that.
31:54I talked about this in a video I made a couple of days ago.
31:58But some of this is connected to Mike Waltz.
32:01Some of this is just that Trump, President Trump, just feels like Netanyahu has not been dealing with him in a straightforward way.
32:08Anyway, Trump is feeling like he's being manipulated by Netanyahu, and so he's cutting him off.
32:16If you want to believe this, it's up to you.
32:20I'm just reporting this story.
32:22I personally don't believe it.
32:24But that is the news that we are getting.
32:29The whole narrative about this coming from some sort of an Army radio.
32:36I don't know.
32:37It just sounds very, very fishy.
32:41It doesn't sound very solid.
32:44But it's making the rounds, this story.
32:47The other report, which is that Trump delinks Saudi nuclear deal from Israeli normalization with Saudi Arabia, is actually coming from Reuters.
32:56So Reuters is saying that, and this is big news actually, is saying that Trump is going to pursue some sort of a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia.
33:14And he's not going to make it contingent on Saudi Arabia recognizing Israel.
33:21Let's see here.
33:22The U.S. is no longer demanding that Saudi Arabia normalize relations with Israel to move forward with talks on establishing a Saudi civil nuclear program, where it is reported on Thursday.
33:35So the Biden White House was actually working on this as well.
33:42They were working on a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia, and they were making it, they were connecting it, linking it to Saudi Arabia, recognizing Israel.
33:52And that fell apart on October the 7th.
33:58And Saudi Arabia, for their part, they're saying that they will not normalize relations with Israel until the situation in Gaza and the Palestinian two-state solution is agreed on.
34:19So that's what Saudi Arabia has been saying.
34:21And now it looks like the Trump administration, they're delinking all of this stuff, according to Reuters.
34:31That's what they're saying.
34:32So they'll be able to deal with Saudi Arabia.
34:35Remember, Trump is going to be there next week.
34:38So Trump will be able to do some sort of a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia.
34:44All the other conditions are going to be dropped.
34:48And there you have it.
34:50This is big news, actually, if it is true.
34:53If Reuters is reporting the truth here, then it is big news.
34:57We will wait next week, perhaps next week, when in Saudi Arabia, perhaps Trump will announce some sort of a nuclear energy deal.
35:06And there will be no announcement from Saudi Arabia that they're going to normalize relations, diplomatic relations with Israel.
35:16If that is the case, then this is indeed a big development.
35:19And maybe if that does happen next week, then maybe this points to the story about cutting off Netanyahu to be accurate.
35:30But that could be what's going on here.
35:32We'll wait and see until next week.
35:35Anyway, that's the news coming out of the Trump White House.
35:40And India, Pakistan, India, Pakistan, you know, I don't have anything to report on this because there's so much fog of war.
35:51I mean, I've got stuff that I could say about the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan, and it does look like it's escalating.
35:58But there's also so much fog of war.
36:02I don't know what to believe.
36:04I really don't know what to believe.
36:08I think we're going to have to also wait a couple of days to see where this is heading.
36:13We are getting reports, verified reports, actually, because a lot of accounts have been taken down that India has asked X to remove 8,000 to 9,000 X accounts because of their reporting on the tensions and the conflict between India and Pakistan.
36:34So information is hard to come by.
36:37Reliable information is very difficult to get at this moment.
36:43So I would say let's give it another day or two and see where we are with the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan, a very dangerous escalating conflict between India and Pakistan.
36:56The other big news from yesterday, very big news, was that we have a new pope.
37:02The Catholic Church has a new pope.
37:03It is Pope Leo XIV, American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, elected as new pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff in history.
37:20There's never been a pope from the United States, huh?
37:25Interesting.
37:25So from what I understand, Pope Leo XIV was appointed a cardinal by Francis.
37:35And I'm not going to comment anymore about Pope Leo XIV.
37:40I've read actually quite a lot about his views.
37:44But once again, I think we should wait and see.
37:47What I will say is that he was appointed by Pope Francis as a cardinal.
37:53And he's, I believe he was spending most of his time, most of his life has actually been, I want to say, in Peru and the Vatican.
38:05He hasn't spent much time in the United States.
38:08He grew up in Chicago.
38:09But when he started his service, he left the United States, and I believe he was mostly in Peru.
38:17He speaks a bunch of languages as well.
38:20Speaks a lot of languages.
38:22Pope Leo XIV, big news from yesterday.
38:28All right, let's do some clown worlds, and we can wrap this video up.
38:37Oh, boy, I got so many clown worlds today.
38:39How am I doing on time?
38:43Oh, man.
38:44Got a lot of clown worlds, and I'm not going to be able to get to them all.
38:50Let's see.
38:52Politico is reporting that Germany's spy agency walks back extremist label for AFD.
39:01The domestic intelligence agency steps back from labeling the AFD a confirmed extremist group just days after making the explosive claim.
39:09Not much of a clown world, but interesting news nonetheless.
39:13So German intel, they are not labeling, categorizing AFD as extremist.
39:19Politico says this is temporary.
39:21That's what they say.
39:22At least temporarily, that's what Politico says.
39:24For now, for now, they are walking back.
39:28Their AFD is an extremist group categorization.
39:31But you better believe that when all of this calms down and the more Trump is brought, at least what they're hoping, is that the more Trump, the Trump administration is brought back into the collective west fold, that they will be able to recategorize the AFD as extremists.
39:52So they're going to try to wait, to wait this out.
39:55That's what the German intel agency is going to try to do.
40:00Berlin.
40:01Berlin bans Soviet flags on 80th anniversary of Nazi defeat.
40:06The Russian embassy has condemned the ban as discriminatory and revisionist.
40:10Also the Baltic countries, they also banned Soviet flags and songs, I believe.
40:20All kinds of things they were banning for the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany.
40:29Interesting, huh?
40:31Interesting ban from Germany.
40:33Interesting ban from the Baltics.
40:35You've got to imagine that the collective west, the leaders of the collective west, not the collective west people, but the leaders of the European Union and much of the collective west, the neocons, you've got to imagine that they are absolutely Alensky.
40:53Alensky and his regime are absolutely furious watching the parade in Moscow.
40:59They must be absolutely furious watching it.
41:01All right, let's, uh, talking about neocons.
41:07Let's talk about Bidenopolis, Greece's favorite son.
41:11He appeared on The View.
41:13The View, that's right.
41:16Biden was on The View, according to the Daily Mail, which doesn't like Biden.
41:21They said, arrogant, Joe Biden tells The View he's not surprised Trump beat Kamala and insists he could have won.
41:31Yeah, Biden insists that he could have won.
41:36You could have won, Biden.
41:37Too bad you were coup de taud.
41:39Coup de taud by your own party, by Obama and Pelosi and Hillary.
41:47But you could have won.
41:48But you didn't.
41:49And you were coup de taud.
41:50Biden started to lose it as well as he was, uh, he was speaking to The View as he was getting questions from, uh, from the hosts at The View.
42:02Very, very deep, insightful questions from the political geniuses at The View.
42:08Uh, Biden started to lose his train of thought, and luckily he had a doctor, Jill, sitting next to him, and she would come in and save him.
42:19So, uh, nothing has really changed with, uh, Biden, to be quite honest.
42:25Anyway, that's the, that's the news.
42:28That's, that's the video, theduran.locals.com.
