Full Episode
That was in Poland right there. Poland sending a major pro-democracy, pro-European Union message as well. Earlier yesterday, there was the Romania elections where the pro-democracy, pro-EU candidate went on to become the president. This was the first round voting in Poland. The next round scheduled for June 1. And the pro-democracy, liberal voting
Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzasky is going to go on to win that first round against the far right wing candidate, Nowacki, who many people expected the far right wing rival, who's a MAGA candidate, who sucks up to Donald Trump. He calls himself like the Trump of Poland. People thought Karola Nowacki was going to win that. Now we go to this second round on June 1st.
We're going to, of course, be paying a lot of attention to that here on the Midas Touch Network. Let me just share with you what Karol Nowrocki had campaigned on. You'll see he's just constantly talking about Trump this, Trump that. I'm the MAGA candidate. So here was a speech that he gave. Here, play this clip. And the most powerful man in the free world, Donald Trump.
is supporting Karol Navrotsky.
And the most powerful person in the world, Donald Trump, supports Karol Navrotsky. Karol!
Karol! Karol!
And again, this was an obvious repudiation of the Trump MAGA candidate. And again, we reported yesterday how in Romania, the far right wing candidate Simeon was expected to go on and win originally. The odds were that the right-wing candidate was going to win. You then had the centrist candidate, who was the mayor of Bucharest, went on to win in Romania. We did a whole video on that as well.
One of the things that I think was very important in this Polish election was Mayor Rafal Trusowski ran on a strong pro-Ukraine platform, anti-Putin platform. as well as building the military forces up in Poland, creating a first-class military to stop Vladimir Putin.
I want to share with you, I thought this was an important moment, because the views of Rafal Trusowski mirror the Prime Minister Donald Tusk. I'll explain how the Poland government works. A very confused prime minister, president. But here was Donald Tusk recently. Let's play this clip. I mean, here he is talking about, you know, standing up to Putin.
