🚨Hegseth BANNED and KICKED OUT OF COUNTRY after STUNT!!
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was. essentially kicked out of Normandy in. France. They are declaring him persona. non grata right there and saying, "Never. come back to Normandy." After Hegseth. gave this awful speech where he attacked. European countries when he was on the. hollow grounds of Normandy, which was. supposed to be this solemn ceremony. about D-Day and how allies came. together, the United States and Canada.
and European countries and others coming. together to fight back against fascism. to defeat Nazi Germany with that. courageous act of allies coming together. for the ultimate sacrifice. But when. Hegseth was giving his D-Day speech, he. said, "And Europe today is allowing. invasions of their beaches on their. grounds like we saw back then except.
this time it is the illegal immigrants. that you are allowing invasions to take. place." And he made it into this whole. horrific political attack on Europe, on. Americans' allies. And so, you see right. here Hegseth and his family leaving. Normandy right there. And take a look. right here how it's being described in. the French press. You see right here our. editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski says, "I. don't speak French, but I think this. means the people in Normandy didn't like.
Hegseth's speech. You have to be a. pretty colossal to screw up a. D-Day commemoration ceremony. Pete. Hegseth, persona non grata in Normandy. He has no place here.". Pete Hegseth, persona non grata for the. 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings. This in the French press and elsewhere. You know, and just to remind you, I'll. just show you a very short portion of. Hegseth's speech. One of the most.
disgraceful things to say to the memory. of the men and women who gave their. lives uh to win World War II. Watch what. Hegseth had to say here. Play this clip. >> Sadly, today. different European beaches are stormed. by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, and Bulgaria. Boats. and men arrive. When will European capitals do something.
about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not. And I believe not. The men who fought and died here. restored freedom to Europe. That freedom. must be maintained by this generation of. leaders and war fighters. Or what they fought for was merely. temporary. As our great President Ronald Reagan. once said, freedom is never more than. one generation away from extinction. You. don't pass it to the next generation in.
the bloodstream. It must be defended by. each and every generation. We stand by our allies. And we expect our allies capable and. ready to stand alongside us. >> Now, we are seeing uh Hegseth, Donald Trump, Trump cabinet members. persona non grata across the world as. well. You know, Hegseth and others being. called out by.
even in the past 24 hours, President. Zelenskyy of Ukraine calling the US out. by name and saying, "We, Ukraine, do not. agree when the United States makes deals. with Putin in Anchorage, Alaska for. Ukraine to give up our territory. It. ain't happening, Donald. It ain't. happening to the United States. We ain't. doing it. Watch as Zelensky gives this. powerful speech as well as play you a. short portion from this interview. Let's. play it.
>> We've got messages that uh they are. ready for meeting only if Ukraine will. well um Ukraine will do what they. decided in encourage. But it's terrible what they speak about. and I said it when we had meeting. Look, you you can't. with all respect, even with all respect. to president of the United States. But you can't. cut our country. Or you can't decide.
Our people decide. You can't make. decisions without us about us. It's unacceptable and it will not bring. peace. This is the first. and will not bring success. to your countries and to your leaders. So, that's why I said it. The best way, if you want to stop the war against. Ukraine, use. sorry. like you know, in a very polite way, use. opportunity to speak with us.
>> Now, we know that he said Trump persona. non grata in Canada right now where the. boycott there is not just going strong. but stronger than ever. Persona non. grata in Denmark, in. in Greenland. You know, right now the. United States ambassador to Denmark has. to hide when he's in Denmark. Literally, when he goes out he has to wear a cap.
and pretend that he's not who he is. because he knows how much the people. hate him. And normally the ambassador to. Denmark from the United States is like a. superstar there. He has to go and hide. when he's in public now because that's. what happens when you threaten the. sovereignty of nations, when you. threaten the sovereignty of Canada and. as Pete Hoekstra, Trump's ambassador. to Canada says, "The 51st state. discussion is on the table when it comes.
to reviewing the Canadian United States. Mexico agreement. When it comes to. Kuzma, we are going to negotiate whether. Canada should be the 51st state." Then. it's just like, well, then you shouldn't. be surprised when Canada boycotts. everything America, when Canada makes it. very clear that they're not traveling to. the United States, when you threaten. their very sovereignty. You know, with. Hegseth being banned from Normandy, with. the United States and Trump regime. cabinet officials becoming persona non.
grata across the world right now, I want. to bring in Charlie Angus from Midas. Canada to help break this all down and. to talk about the boycott that has. escalated by Canadians who have gone. elbows up against Trump, Trump regime in. the United States as a result of this. behavior. Let's just bring in the. interview I just did with Charlie Angus. Now, let's bring in Charlie Angus who of. course leads Midas Canada. Charlie, great to see you as always. Let's just.
get right into it. We saw this week the. ambassador. to Canada from the United States, Hoekstra, who's absolutely detested over. there. We also saw Donald Trump using. this 51st state rhetoric again, making. these posts threatening the sovereignty. of Canada. What's the reaction and. response right now out of Canada, Charlie? >> Well, Ben, you often say Canada's. furious. Canadians are really done with. this guy. Um and and the insults, the. stupidity, the gaslighting that we put.
up with him for a long time and have. been very polite about. Uh but I think. what's really concerning here is we have. the ambassador of a foreign nation. uh. openly saying that it would be a great. discussion whether or not we give up our. sovereignty. I mean, if the Chinese did. this, uh if the Russians did this, if any. other nation did this, uh there would be complete outrage. Why. is it that we allow this ambassador.
uh to undermine our sovereignty, our. nationhood, our birthright and in such a. dismissive fashion? Because his boss, his never ever once backed off his. belief that he can break us as a. country. So, um what it's done is it's pissed people. off and obviously the impacts are going. to be felt by the the laid-off workers. in Kentucky, the bourbon distilleries, the the the poor folk in uh Las Vegas. and Florida who've lost tourism dollars.
Canadians will never ever ever spend. money. uh on anything America. If every time. Peter Hookster opens his mouth, it. reminds us to hold that boycott. >> Let's talk about some moves that we've. seen Canada make lately when it comes to. uh. military equipment, when it comes to. uh Saab and the Gripen's, let's say over. the F-35, when it comes to the. GlobalEye, which already has the a JV. with Bombardier, but leading more into.
Sweden in terms of certain aircraft and. military equipment, and the EU, and then. we're seeing that being reciprocated as. well with Bombardier and and Canada's um. military. What are you seeing over. there? >> It's it's it's a significant shift. Uh. again, Canada's always been the little. brother uh to the to the to the great uh. alliance that was started 81 years ago. to fight fascism. That's what brought. Canada and the US together. We were. pretty suspicious of each other before.
that. And so, you you see the. uh the United States walked on this. Canada-US peace board defense board that. had been put in place back in the days. when we were trying to defend the coast. from the U-boats and the Nazis and other. possible threats and the Japanese on the. on the Pacific coast. But when you see. us shifting away in such a dramatic. fashion, it's sending a really clear. message. The decision by Canada to. purchase the Swedish Global Eye. surveillance.
planes is about us defending the Arctic, our sovereignty. And who are we. defending it from? We're defending it. from obviously Russia. But now we're. also defending it from the United. States. You know, we. made a very clear commitment to. Greenland and Denmark that we would be. there for them. We know that the threat. to the Arctic is against us. So far, we. haven't seen the Russians there, but we. know that Donald Trump has been putting. more and more pressure there. So the. move with the Swedes is a big step. And.
it signals this wild change that's. happened just in the last year of Canada. now aligning with Nordic countries. um. Finland, Sweden, Norway. These These are. the people that we're now seeing as our. allies because we now see a threat on. the border. >> And you're seeing what has often been. referred to as, you know, the mid powers. uniting to form their own kind of. superpower or pole in this multi-polar.
world where it seems America first has. meant America all alone with Donald. Trump's deranged behavior and. threatening to invade this or that in. the Western Hemisphere. Um you have certainly the rise of China. and the Trump trip basically bowing to. Xi Jinping as Xi Jinping talked about. the Thucydides trap and a broader. alliance there of Russia, North Korea, um bringing in Iran into the fold, BRICS.
block, and then it's kind of like, all. right, what's going to happen with. Europe, what's going to happen with. Nordic countries, what's going to happen. with Canada and Australia. And so, I. think you're seeing this massive global. shift right now, as well. And. to see Carney in the last month or so, in Armenia at the European Council. meeting, then going to the Economic. Forum in New York City, and basically. saying that, you know, we're not the same Canada. anymore, so be aware of of the pivot.
that can talk about that kind of. a trip that we've that we've seen in the. past 60 days accelerate. >> Well, we've. we're seeing. things that we couldn't have even. imagined before, like open talk about. alliance with the European Union. Now, I've been to the European Union, I've. met with them. They're a lot more. bureaucratic than Canadians are. I think. it would drive us nuts to be in the EU. I'm just saying that to all our Canadian. viewers. I know it sounds great. It's. probably a lot more problematic. But,
what is possible is a. hybrid agreement of us being part of a. European Union. We're very much part of. the European Union now in terms of. military, defense, in terms of funding, the fact that. for the first time ever Canada has been. included in their. procurement and funding plans to to get. more military support, and Canada is now. setting up and there's the International. Center to tie the Europeans and and.
Asia, Australia, New Zealand, our. Commonwealth cousins, other countries. Again, bypassing the United States. This. is all very, very. we're in uncharted territory, but it's. also insane. I mean, we are, you know, anybody in Toronto listens to Buffalo. TV, anybody in Buffalo listens to what's. happening in Toronto. I mean, we have we. have many of the almost the exact same. cultural references from we are. neighbors.
We've had such good relationships. If. the United States ever wants anything. from Canada, they get it. They want. critical minerals, they get it. They. want copper, they get it. But you know, when Donald Trump has been saying that. you know, our metals are. the what we supply to the US economy is. a a national security threat. The fact that they've attacked us more. and more and they continue and we see. this with Pete Hoekstra. This is what is. reminding Canadians. This is not going. away. This wasn't Donald being Donald.
They fundamentally hate us because we. remain democratic, we remain inclusive, we believe in diversity and equity and. inclusion as signs of strength, not. something to freak people get freaked. out about. That we are now shifting so. that we are. doing. military build-up with Europe and not. the United States, that we're doing more. and more trade with Europe and with. China. We've had a really, really bad. history with China in terms of. interference. A lot of a lot of things.
went down with China and Canada in the. last 15 years that weren't wasn't great. And now we're saying, well, hey, they. may be more. responsible right now to deal with than. Donald Trump. That's the message that's. being heard in Canada. And again, you've. got an ambassador openly talking about. whether or not we have a right to our. sovereignty. I mean, any other's. jurisdiction, this guy would be thrown. out. He's been there at the US Embassy. because he's Donald Trump's man. But.
Canadians really, really detest this. guy. They detest dealing with anything. to do with the United States right now. and we're trying to find a way out of. this nightmare by. building these alliances elsewhere. >> Charlie, we head into the summer right. now. We know that Donald Trump and his. regime watch this. They monitor this. They monitor Midas Canada. What's your message right now to Donald. Trump and his regime knowing that. they're watching this?
>> [laughter]. >> You know, it's coming for you, Donald. Uh the Epstein files, they're coming for. you. Um the FBI files that the Justice. Department suppressed. uh with these horrific allegations, it's. coming for you, Donald. It's falling. apart, Donald. But, you know, Donald, at. the end of the day, if you don't have a country like Canada. on your side, who do you have? Are you. You threw all your lot in with Vladimir. Putin, who's losing 30,000 men a month. and his soldiers are surrendering to.
robots in the field. Uh you threw your. lot in uh with who else? Orban in. Hungary? That did him a lot of good, didn't it, Donald? You threw your lot in. with the far right in Germany and in. Romania and in France and the UK. And. the democratic allies on this. anniversary of D-Day who came together. to fight fascism are still the. democratic allies that you need, but you. don't get it because you are a gangster, Donald. And at the end of the day,
I would go beyond, Donald, and say, "You. know, to the folks in Kentucky, to the. folks in Nevada, to the folks in Arizona. who've seen that huge loss of Canadian. dollars, Donald doesn't give a damn. about you. He never did. Canadians don't. hate you, but there will never be. another dime spent on anything American. as long as our sovereignty is. threatened, as long as they think that. they can push us around because again, this is the anniversary of when our.
Canadian troops, all our young men and. boys landed in Normandy to help the. Europeans fight fascism. And we come. from a long, long line of fascist. fighters. So, get in line, Donald. We'll. take you on next.". >> Charlie Angus, thanks for joining us as. always. Make sure everybody subscribes. to Midas Canada. Just search Midas.
