President Xi Jinping of China is calling checkmate against Donald Trump, and Donald Trump to dense and too much of a malignant narcissist to perhaps even realize what a cornered rat he is and the destruction and devastation caused to the United States. I recall the quote from Napoleon Bonaparte, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Go back much earlier in history to the day of Confucius. Remember the Confucius quote, a man who has made a mistake and does not correct it is making another mistake.

3:08But when it comes to Donald Trump, it is failure by design. Donald Trump doesn't care about the national interest of the United States. Donald Trump is a walking, talking, grift who has pillaged for himself and has destroyed the national interest of the United States. While China has now asserted itself as the global headgemon in a rapidly changing multilateral global world order with the US security architecture being destroyed. And this happened fast. It's the biggest story that should be covered everywhere right now. And we are focused on it here at the Midas Touch. No, because it ain't being covered in a lot of places, especially in the United States. So at the BRICS summit, that hegemonic status of China was really asserted but in the context of a multilateral, multi-polar world order that China is creating.

4:12That China had planned for with the BRICS for some time. But now with Donald Trump's failure by design, the perfect opening for China. So in New Delhi at the BRICS summit, you had China, you had Xi, you had Prime Minister Modi of India, you had Putin. You had President Pzezskine of Iran and you had the numerous other entities that formed the BRICS block. Xi Jinping stressed the following at the New Delhi summit. He said that BRICS and all nations across the world must stand firmly on the right side of history and strive to be a pioneer of our times. And he said this is especially the case when it comes to the Middle East. And the rapidly changing global order that we all see as it relates to the Middle East. Xi Jinping was talking about resisting and pushing back against unilateral sanctions and secondary sanctions

5:16and wars by the Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime against Iran and against other countries in the area. Xi Jinping said that BRICS should pioneer advancing innovation-driven deployment. BRICS should be a pioneer in upholding peace and stability. BRICS should be a pioneer in facilitating mutual learning between civilizations. BRICS should be a pioneer in reforming and improving global governance. Now, Xi Jinping saying the things that once upon a time, we used to hear from secretaries of state in the United States. But where the hell is Marco Rubio other than threatening to invade Cuba or bragging about stealing Venezuelan oil and 65 billion barrels that are never really going to come to fruition. But it's nice for Donald Trump to further defraud the American people, but it ain't working while gas prices and diesel prices continue to surge.

6:23But you see here on the home front, as Donald Trump's bravado and bluster has been exposed as empty. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down. And nobody actually takes Donald Trump's word seriously anymore meaningless empty fraud. China Xi Jinping just issued a threat to Donald Trump. Hey, Donald, we know how desperate you are for a visit by Xi Jinping come September 24th at the White House. That's what you've been telling everybody. Xi Jinping's presence makes you feel powerful to be in the presence of someone like Xi. That's what Donald Trump has said before. It's frankly an embarrassing thing that Donald Trump is such a Xi Jinping bootlicker, but that's what he is. Xi Jinping just said, here's the reality. Here's the deal. If you do any arms transfers to Taiwan and the US was expected to do a $14 billion arms transfer, Xi Jinping said, I will immediately cancel my visit to the United States.

7:30I want guarantee Xi Jinping said that you will not help Taiwan in any way shape or form with any military assistance or I will cancel this trip to the United States. So Xi Jinping making that threat right there while he was at bricks. Also during a speech at the brick summit Xi Jinping said, this war, this war by the United States and Israel. This war has caused serious losses to people across the region and does not serve a common interest of the international community. He went on to say China is willing to mediate and China will step in to try to resolve the Trump regime chaos and turmoil that's been caused to the global markets. So now China is stepping in in a place where we would once expect the United States to step in trying to unite the world in a coalition that ultimately is going to change forever the security architecture in the Middle East.

8:42Now all of these events that are happening across the world are not random. They may feel like how do I keep track of all of these things. But you see they are all very related as the United States security umbrella falls in the Middle East in Asia in Europe as Donald Trump has lost all credibility not just for himself but sadly for the United States. A new security architecture globally is forming and we see that being built around China. So on Monday, what's happening in Oman in Muscat, there will be a meeting recognizing Iran's control over the straight up for moves Iran's doing a deal with Oman. Iran's not going to open up the straight up for moves until the United States complies with its obligations under the MOU but you will have these Arab nations there watching Iran and Oman sign this document and Iran saying commerce opens as soon as the United States abides by the MOU the US gets out of the Middle East.

9:50The Netanyahu regime in Israel gets out of Lebanon. We can recognize a Palestinian state. The genocide in Gaza ends and let's have a new security architecture in the Middle East. This also presents folks existential risk to monarchies in the region. I mean the Saudi monarchy, MBS. MBS is a very Trump-y type of guy and was a perfect mark for Trump. He was the son of the king, has all of this money. Very arrogant, never thought that the Saudi monarchy could possibly lose in a proxy war to the Houthis in Yemen but that's precisely what happened. The Houthis on Surala, conquered all or controlled all of Western Yemen. They're moving east to Aden right now. The Saudi troops are on the run but the very foundation of the Saudi monarchy right now has been shattered as their power tied to the Trump regime has been demonstrated to be a bit of a paper tiger and a bit of the kind of Trump braggadocia without the concomitant power associated with it.

11:01That's being seen now in the region but China is stepping in and saying we're going to provide a new security architecture not in a heavy handed way but we're going to be there but our main focus right now is going to be unification with Taiwan. We're focused on Asia but we'll also be here to facilitate a newly defined order that pushes the US out. That was the main message coming out of bricks. I mean I could read for you and I won't all 18,000 words of the bricks joint declaration but if I were to summarize it for you it was a condemnation of Trump and Netanyahu's chaos in the Middle East and a call for resilience and a call for a new structure that stops that from happening in the future. Not just puts an end to it in the short term but stops it long term so now with the world on the brink and you know I obviously don't like Mel Gibson because but I liked the movie Braveheart remember in the movie Braveheart the scene and I get you know where it was like wait for it hold hold hold now and then they go go back and watch it you may have no clue what I'm talking about but the point I may not be able to see it.

12:23But the point I'm making is China was waiting for this exact moment where the global economy is about to crash for it to basically step in solve the issues and like the I'll give you just a number of other movie references usual suspects Kaiser so say at the end kind of walks out you are Kaiser so say or at the end of the six cents you know you find out who Bruce Willis was in the movie and why they are going to be in the movie. I think the kid was able to see him. Here's the most ridiculous part of my day I can spend all morning working realize it suddenly two in the afternoon open the fridge stare at everything for about 30 seconds close it and then I somehow expect there to be better options when I open it again like five minutes later. That's where he will has become incredibly convenient for me. He will black edition powder is a complete meal you have instead of food not a shake on top of food black edition powder has 40 grams of protein mixes with water or milk in about 30 seconds we're also getting 27 essential vitamins and minerals no artificial sweeteners colors or flavors and when I'm running out the door the RT D bottle is the grab and go version 35 grams of protein seven grams fiber under five dollars a meal so instead of realizing I forgot to eat and then grabbing whatever.

But China had previously not been importing lots of crude China prepared in 2025 bought crude at very low prices kept it in these tin pot refineries then a whole network of them and their strategic reserves like 1.5 billion to billion gallons or so or barrels of oil to billion barrels whereas the US strategic petroleum reserve is like. Less than half of that I mean but China was using its domestic supply and not importing and because it wasn't importing all of this crude it allowed the supply not to dwindle and if it just continued to import at the rates it did in 2025 what would you see happening right away you would have less supply so the price of crude would go up very dramatically but China was not importing the supply not to do it.

15:11So with all of these developments right the east west oil terminal destroyed or severely damaged and shut down by Saudi Arabia the hoothies around part of Iran's access of resistance they control the Bob El Mondob straight and the Red Sea around controls the straight of removes to critical choke points the hoothies also saying we could go to Suez Canal why do you think Xi Jinping was a lot of the way to go. He was in Egypt recently as well why do you think that he was meeting with LCC where he also talked about a new global architecture without the United States and a new kind of China centric way of looking at the Middle East but really he described it more as a Middle East countries asserting their own sovereignty and not being dependent on the unilateral in position of the petrodollar and you and US architecture right.

16:11So he was also in Egypt I mean these are critical trade choke points right here right and so you have all of that taking place now China starts importing again right and so what's happening right now the price goes up up up China holds the bricks meeting right here Xi Jinping also cleverly says okay September is the perfect date for us to do this why because all of these developments are happening. Xi is now saying I'm going to withhold showing up unless certain things happen I will also be willing to mediate what's happening in the straight of Hormuz and I will mediate overall the chaos that's been caused by the Trump and Netanyahu regime China is going to step in and that folks is how you have a completely new global architecture and that's what just went down I mean look at Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin they're looking at each other with this sense of we just completely this is how you take down the hegemon this is and by the way rewind the script of this movie you know I'm giving you movie references like Braveheart and usual suspects and six cents and others Xi Jinping put it in the script he talked about the Thucydides trap he told it to Donald Trump space don't he told

17:38him what we were doing you know he basically you know imagine it's football I'm just going to give a lot of examples we're in football season imagine the QB who's like I'm going to go that way I'm going to don't you dare even try to guard my guy I'm going to throw it to the wide receiver he's he's cutting right and then he cut right right that's what Xi Jinping just did and it was completely out maneuvering Donald Trump and Trump but this this way you need intelligence smart people to counteract these moves that were being made but this was Xi Jinping Iran Russia escalating in Ukraine this was Egypt I mean this was there was a lot of people who were involved in this a lot of nations that were involved in this but the essence of it is a new global architecture and this brick summit is all about that it's essentially an apotheosis to that it's a celebration of that look at Iran's foreign minister or Archie with China's foreign minister Wang Yi I mean they're talking about new banking systems moving away from the petro dollar ending the genocide in Gaza they're talking about fair supply chains for critical minerals they're they're flexing China's control over rare earths right now okay that's what's that's what's going down right now and then while all of this is happening

19:08I mean what's what's Trump in saying what what's Trump in saying and by the way India's critical to this to their hosting the brick summit but as Xi Jinping said China and India are the two countries with the largest populations in the world and our important members of the global south and play an important role the two sides will work together to promote high quality cooperation and promote a peaceful and stable world and provide more positive energy okay they think about this you have that taking place I'll tell you who gets it who actually looked a little bit to shebbled mark Rote the NATO Secretary General usually he kind of I mean I think he's a little bit of a comical deranged kind of guy with his Trump bootlicking I understand why he feels he has to do it but you see him sweating right now I've never seen him look like this NATO Rote said if China were to move against Taiwan what what could we do if he's going to do that what what could we do here watch this and there's also the realization increasingly both in Europe and the United States that if China would move against Taiwan or anything in the first island chain that Xi Jinping will first call his junior partner and all of this which is one of Vladimir Vladimir which put in a Moscow to keep his busy here and that means that if that would happen you would have a situation where you would have a serious problem in both theaters

20:33in other words to in a specific and Europe are more and more interconnected that's then Donald Trump before he went on this Ireland trip gave this interview with Laura Ingraham and she was asking she not not Xi Jinping she Laura Ingraham was asking him about China spying on the U.S. and China providing Iran with military intelligence and here's what Donald Trump said you can hear for yourself let's play it they're ruining their cities I know nothing about it I know about B Y D I'm the only one that stopped him from coming in they've destroyed you know they're destroying Germany they're ruining Mercedes they're ruining BMW and if you go to Europe you're looking what's going on it's like an avalanche of Chinese cars and I'm not not in Chinese I'm not not in Chinese cars president she's coming over to have a nice state dinner and two with a lot of CEO is what is he want well he we get along you know he and I get along with him very well people say oh he spies on us well we spy on him too you know we're very good at all at it also so we get along we have a very good relationship he's coming over in two weeks it's going to be interesting you know the fact that we get along is a good thing we do very well with China now we used to do very badly with China but we do well with China

21:50you know when Donald Trump's been giving speeches lately this is what he says I want to thank China I asked China not to get involved in Iran they listen to me and it's like dude what are you talking about what you're talking about China and I want to thank China because to be honest I asked president she not to get involved with Iran and they get 50% of their oil from the straight but I asked him not to get involved and he said he wouldn't and he didn't I mean very nice actually and there you have it everybody let me know what you're going to do with it and I want to thank China because to be honest I asked president she not to get involved with Iran and they get 50% of their oil from the straight but I asked him not to get involved and he said he wouldn't and he didn't I mean very nice actually and there you have it everybody let me know what you think kids subscribe let's get to 7 million we appreciate you we're grateful for you this is the most important stuff that's out there right now this is what's going on man as it was going on let's get to 7 million subscribers let's keep on growing this
