Come see us on tour. We're going

0:06

Buffalo, New York, Toledo, Montreal,

0:09

Toronto, Ottawa, Glasgow,

0:12

Manchester Belfast, Dublin,

0:14

to JimmyDore.com for a link for

0:18

tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Hi,

0:21

Jimmy. This is Vince Vaughn. Ah, double

0:24

V, friend of the show. What's up,

0:26

Vince? Good.

0:29

Fine, you know pretty good. Okay

0:31

good to hear. I

0:33

Can't complain. Yeah, I gotta

0:36

say Vince you sound sort

0:38

of reserved. I

0:41

Really don't know what you're talking

0:43

about Jimmy door. Well You know usually

0:45

you call in and you get all goofy

0:47

with us and you say crazy things

0:49

your tone today though. It's just sort

0:51

of a blasted Well,

0:54

Jimmy, maybe it's time for me to grow up

0:56

I can't really be calling into the Jimmy Dorsho

0:58

and acting like a goofball all the time. You

1:00

know, everything's not just a great big joke, Jimmy. Maybe

1:04

I've decided that calling in and

1:06

roasting celebrities in a gauche and

1:08

degrading manner is beneath me. And

1:11

I'd like to think that you would think that as well. Wow,

1:14

what's gotten into you, double V? My

1:17

name is Vincent, thank you. And

1:19

what's gotten into me is last

1:21

week I got to visit the White House.

1:23

And I got to meet the president again. And

1:26

we had a private, I had a private chat

1:28

with him and he had a picture taken with

1:30

me. I can't be White House

1:32

visitor guy and clown on the Jimmy

1:34

Dorshow guy. I have to project

1:36

the dignity of a White House visitor. Things

1:39

are just different now, Jimmy, they are. Yes,

1:42

esteemed Trump White House

1:44

visitor like Kid Rock and Hulk

1:46

Hogan. Hey, you

1:48

know what? Their choices are theirs. I do not

1:50

judge them. Vince Vaughn is not a judge. But

1:53

at the same time, my choices are mine. And

1:55

I am gonna let that statesman -like vibe,

1:57

the aura of the halls of power, rub

2:00

off on me. Maybe that's my aura

2:02

now. This same White

2:04

House released a photo of you and

2:06

Trump with the caption, White

2:08

House Crashers. That's

2:11

a takeoff from your 2005 hit

2:13

comedy, Wedding Crashers. Not sure they

2:15

saw that meeting with the same

2:17

reverence as you did. Mr.

2:20

Trump is a fan of movies and Hollywood

2:22

and that's fine. Flattering quite

2:25

frankly. Well, why what did you

2:27

two discuss? Were you were you at the White House?

2:29

Why were we at the White House in the first place?

2:32

Jimmy I've declined to answer this question from

2:34

other news outlets and despite our long association

2:36

I had declined to answer here as well. Oh

2:39

come on vids Okay, Jimmy.

2:41

I can't say no to

2:43

you. I was proving my

2:45

case to him to be

2:47

as Hollywood czar Hollywood czar?

2:50

I don't I don't think I heard

2:52

him ever mention the potential of Roll

2:54

of the Hollywood czar That's because I

2:56

made it up and I was pitching

2:58

it to him Basically the idea is

3:00

someone who's familiar with shell business and

3:02

is in charge of making liberal Hollywood

3:04

tone down the wokeness Wait, didn't this

3:06

already happen? Yeah, he

3:08

made those old guys ambassadors or

3:10

envoys to Hollywood purely symbolic. Nothing

3:13

ever came of it I'm talking

3:15

about an Elon Musk level role

3:17

in the White House aimed at

3:19

de -wolking Tinseltown I

3:22

see what what what a drug what do

3:24

you think of your idea And

3:50

he said I do what

3:52

I fucking want and then he

3:54

farted and started eating I

3:56

love this man already Uh -huh

3:58

And then I started pitching the

4:00

idea and he kept interrupting

4:02

asking me which female I banged

4:05

co -stars He's like, you were

4:07

lost World. Do you bang

4:09

Julianne Moore? No, sir.

4:11

Hmm. You an anchor man with

4:13

Christine Applegate. You bang her. No, sir. He

4:15

just kept going. Not looking at

4:17

IMDB or anything just from memory. He just knew

4:20

all the movies I was in and all the

4:22

hot ladies who are so in them. I'm telling

4:24

you the man is sharp as a tack. Very

4:26

impressive. But between

4:28

you and me, fact that I don't sleep with

4:30

my female co -stars seem to bother him like

4:32

a lot. I felt like it

4:34

made him not trust me. I told

4:36

him I've been married for a long time and he's

4:38

like, I don't understand. What does that have to do

4:40

with it? I I see. I

4:43

got the impression that he doesn't trust men who aren't

4:45

grotesque in a moral in the same way he is.

4:48

I met a lot of guys like that in my time. How

4:50

did you handle that? Well,

4:53

I just started lying. Oh,

4:55

sure. On the set of wedding crashes, me and

4:57

Owen Wilson, double team Rachel McAdams in the

4:59

trailer. And then Trump switched back

5:01

on. I think he knew I was lying, but

5:03

it didn't matter. Just like the idea of that

5:05

happening made him happy. So it's back

5:08

in business. well I hope you get the

5:10

job, Vince. Oh, boy,

5:12

me too, Jimmy. And don't worry. I won't come

5:14

after you, even though you're a big woke liberal.

5:17

That's not a good description of me at

5:19

all, actually. Oh, come

5:21

on. Don't be shy. Let that freak

5:23

flag fly, baby. Men could be women. Dogs

5:26

could be cats. Fords can be Chevy's,

5:28

whatever. That's

5:32

not what my show is about, Vince. Jimmy

5:35

I have an idea. Well, your show is in

5:37

my head and I'm not going to change it for

5:39

anything or anyone, even you. But But the rest

5:41

of Holly would look out. If I get this job,

5:43

I'm going to de -woke the shit out of you.

5:46

For you, double V stand for victory

5:48

and vindication. Also vengeance triple V

5:50

Okay, Jimmy. I gotta go. I'm getting

5:52

too excited for my own good.

5:54

I need to calm down and have

5:57

a fresco if they still make

5:59

those at all. Double V still do

6:01

make fresco So

6:26

you know the knives are out for

6:28

Pete Hegseth, right? Yes I do.

6:30

The defense secretary Pete Hegseth And

6:32

all the headlines and all the

6:34

newspapers all the social media is

6:36

what a screw -up this guy

6:38

is what an idiot and he's

6:41

on his way out Why the

6:43

new Mac gates why why why

6:45

is Pete Hegseth out Pete Hegseth

6:47

by the way just fired three

6:49

of his top advisors that were

6:51

his lifelong friends that he handpicked

6:53

Mm -hmm, and you go. Well, why

6:55

did he fire those guys? Because

6:58

it was released that Pete Hegseth

7:00

JD Vance And

7:02

Tulsi Gabbard advised Trump to

7:04

not go along with Israel

7:07

and bomb Iran. So that's

7:09

what got out, right? Okay.

7:12

So I'm thinking, oh,

7:14

they're going after him because of that.

7:16

But why did he fire those three

7:18

guys? Well, guess

7:20

what? I'm watching the Ron Paul Show

7:22

and the Ron Paul Libiter Report. And

7:25

I apologize for not having this guy's

7:27

name written down, but he's gonna a wig

7:29

cut. He's good. I think he looks

7:31

good. I'm jealous of his hair. Well, me

7:33

too, but I mean it's cut to

7:35

look like a wig. But yeah, here we

7:37

go. Watch this. And how do you

7:40

deal with a Pentagon in disarray as we've

7:42

talked about on the show over the

7:44

past few days? So apparently the Pentagon is

7:46

in disarray. Pete Hegseth not

7:48

a good manager. That's what they're saying. And

7:52

a Pentagon where the

7:54

Secretary of Defense is

7:56

firing loyalists who he had

7:58

worked with for years. So

8:01

he just fired his loyalists that he's

8:03

worked with for years who he appointed.

8:06

Pete Hegseth. And why did he do that? Claiming,

8:09

acting as if he never knew

8:11

them, that they were just leakers and

8:14

disgruntled former employees because they were

8:16

found out to have advised Hegseth, the

8:18

Secretary of Defense, successfully advised him,

8:20

we should not sign off on an

8:22

attack on Iran. It's not going

8:24

to be a cakewalk. He

8:26

listened to them. He got

8:28

smacked down by the neocons and

8:30

so he threw his staff

8:33

under the bus So that's why

8:35

Pete Hegseth Fired those guys

8:37

who were lifelong friends of his

8:39

And he said oh, they're

8:41

leaking they're doing all it's gay.

8:43

It was sound like a

8:45

bullshit, but it's because the neocons

8:48

found out that They they're

8:50

coming down on Pete Hegseth for

8:52

advising Trump against going to

8:54

war with Iran And

8:57

they found out that Pete Hegseth was

8:59

against it and advised Trump that way.

9:01

So now he's trying to say oh,

9:03

it's their fault It's their fault. I'm

9:05

gonna be I'm gonna be cool. I'm

9:07

gonna be cool For going forward. It's

9:09

their fault. That's what it sounds like

9:11

and Right well Jimmy is that a

9:13

I mean is that like part of

9:15

his because I gotta tell you I'm

9:17

still thrown for a loop We showed

9:19

those clips of him telling how we

9:21

got a bomb Iran now like yesterday

9:23

from a while ago So I'm genuinely

9:25

surprised that he was like it's not

9:27

a good idea to go to Iran,

9:29

right? So are they I mean? So

9:31

those are close friends of his so

9:33

are they on that? We're like you

9:35

guys get fired go and tucker and

9:37

tell people is it like that could

9:39

it be like that but when he

9:41

was But when he was saying we

9:43

got a bomb this shit out of

9:45

Iran he wasn't the defense secretary He

9:47

was a guy trying to make a

9:49

name for himself as a TV personality.

9:52

Let's remember that So now

9:54

that he's the defense secretary, he's got

9:56

responsibility and he doesn't want to see a

9:58

war with Iran go belly up Which

10:00

is what they were advising him. Hey, if

10:02

you do this, it's not gonna be

10:04

good for us There's a war that's not

10:06

good for us and so he was

10:08

like, okay, let's let's try to negotiate Well,

10:11

then the neocons came down with a

10:13

hammer on him and he's like well, it

10:15

wasn't my fault was these guys these

10:17

motherfuckers. They they're the ones who told me

10:19

they're the ones the people I've known

10:21

all my life He threw him under the

10:23

bus. That's according to Ron Paul's limited

10:25

report. Right, let's see,

10:27

has he got it? Something, thank goodness, Dr.

10:29

Paul never did to any of us. So

10:33

you have a situation, you have a

10:35

White House in crisis, you have a

10:37

Pentagon in crisis and disarray, and you

10:39

have an administration that is expending an

10:41

enormous amount of energy and effort. without

10:44

understanding the origins of the problem,

10:46

without understanding the status of the situation,

10:48

the status of the United States

10:51

as a party to this war. Okay.

10:55

So now I'm watching this guy, Mike Benz, who's

10:57

a friend of the show. He's

10:59

good, Mike Benz. And he's good. He's

11:01

got a lot of insight that is

11:03

full of information. So

11:06

he says this. So he's

11:08

talking about why the knives are

11:10

out for Pete Hegset. And

11:13

this is what he has

11:15

the 10 seconds that prompted me

11:17

to tweet this in case

11:19

people haven't been following so Liz

11:21

Wheeler Is very nice she

11:23

posted this 37 second clip I

11:25

didn't watch the full 37

11:27

seconds to be honest. Maybe I

11:30

should I Pause it after

11:32

10 seconds. I went to Twitter

11:34

video downloader calm And I

11:36

cropped the first 10 seconds and

11:38

I said okay. I've seen

11:40

enough I guess That's

11:42

all I need. You

11:45

know, you could train an aquatic

11:47

mammal. You know, you

11:49

could have a dolphin bay out

11:51

the words that Pete Hexeth says here

11:53

and you could have flipper, flipper

11:55

at SeaWorld. If you could

11:57

train to go and just bat

11:59

out these words, I would be

12:01

like, I'm okay with you being

12:03

the commander of the world's largest

12:05

army. And

12:08

these are the 10 seconds. Trump

12:10

threatened. the international order,

12:13

council on form relation, Washington

12:15

DC, Brookings Institute types.

12:17

They were never told their

12:19

wars were stupid. Good

12:22

enough. He

12:24

identifies the main thing. It's

12:27

the institutions. It's

12:29

the outside stakeholders of war, like

12:31

the council on farm relations, like

12:33

the Brookings Institution and their donor

12:35

network. That's the

12:37

reason we get involved in stupid wars. So

12:41

we need to confront the institutions

12:43

we need to clean house And

12:45

we need to put an America

12:48

first agenda in charge of our

12:50

policy again. That's it That's all

12:52

you need That's all I need

12:54

in terms of strategic vision. That's

12:56

that's it. Yeah, so So Pete

12:58

Hegseth might be a day drinker.

13:00

He might be a Cowboy he

13:03

might be a bad manager of

13:05

the Pentagon. That's not why they

13:07

get rid of someone So

13:10

they came down on him because

13:12

it got out that he was advised

13:14

To tell Trump not to go

13:16

to war with Iran at this moment

13:18

He told him that and the

13:20

council on foreign relations the Brookings Institute

13:22

all the war people who make

13:25

money off war the war machine They

13:27

came down on his head. They

13:29

want him gone and so then he's

13:31

trying to Fire the people around

13:33

him to say okay. Well, okay, okay

13:35

That's what it sounds like to

13:37

me That's what it sounds like

13:39

to me. Oh, is the Pentagon in disarray? What

13:41

does the array look like? I'm

13:45

with you a nerve to be

13:47

like he's not qualified when they've lost

13:49

two trillion dollars Well, they didn't

13:52

lose it. They stole it repeatedly, right?

13:54

And they're like, oh, he can't

13:56

handle this. No, they there's like they're

13:58

like ticks that should be dug

14:00

out with like flames So let's see

14:02

what else he has to say.

14:05

She has his thumb directly over the

14:07

central dynamic

14:09

of it all. I

14:12

should probably listen to the other 27 seconds,

14:14

right? Let's listen. Trump

14:16

threatened. Right. So

14:18

Jim says, yes, Mike, it's not rocket science, but

14:21

you'd be surprised how many people

14:23

don't get it. And

14:26

not necessarily because they don't

14:28

get it, but because they

14:30

can't say it. because

14:33

they are then boxed out of

14:35

the council on farm relations. That's right.

14:37

They're boxed out of the private

14:39

equity funds. They can't be like Mark

14:41

Milley and make seven figures after

14:43

being the head of the Joint Chiefs

14:45

of Staff working at JP Morgan.

14:48

Yeah. Isn't that something a

14:50

general from the Pentagon who was the

14:52

chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

14:54

leaves the administration and then goes to

14:56

work for Wall Street because he's a

14:58

brilliant breaker? Isn't that amazing? Cover

15:01

when he told them you guys

15:03

bankers are the real heroes, but

15:05

yes of US military general said

15:07

to bankers That's right. I'm supposed

15:09

to believe this cock and bull

15:11

sorry Trump called troops chumps. Yeah,

15:13

you're all upset about that when

15:16

I just watch a general called

15:18

bankers the real heroes Let's watch

15:20

a little more of this going

15:22

from the battle commander to a

15:24

banker Or like Jared Cohen going

15:26

to Golden Sacks Or

15:29

like all of them

15:31

But the nice thing

15:33

is is Pete Hags

15:35

at this probably independently

15:37

wealthy because of his

15:39

Fox News Perch and

15:41

his book sales and

15:43

his celebrity staz from

15:45

there So he doesn't

15:48

need a seven -figure

15:50

salary at a bank

15:52

That's bankrolling US foreign

15:54

policy as it pertains

15:56

to war So

15:58

I like it. It's elegant. It's simple. Anyway,

16:03

let's hear the full clip. Trump

16:05

threatened. the international

16:08

order, council on formulation,

16:10

Washington DC, Brookings Institute types. They were

16:12

never told their wars were stupid or

16:15

their generals were losers or that NATO

16:17

didn't step up, that China would unleash

16:19

a virus. So let's call it the

16:21

China virus and hold them to account

16:23

for it. All of those things were

16:25

a calling out of an international order

16:27

that was failing and is continuing to

16:29

fail and now has a great advocate

16:31

in the regime currently in the White

16:34

House. And Ukraine, it's basically a fight

16:36

Donald Trump by fighting Putin through

16:38

Zelensky war. If they finally found

16:40

a war they just absolutely love

16:42

Trump. Holy

16:47

shit, this guy gets it. Yeah,

16:55

that's exactly right. Oh,

16:59

I definitely see the appeal now. Yeah,

17:03

that's totally in line

17:05

with Trump's foreign policy

17:07

vis -vis Russia and

17:09

China and It's also

17:11

So it's it's totally

17:13

in line on foreign

17:15

policy which is shifting

17:17

to great power competition

17:19

with China and relative

17:21

neutrality with Russia He's

17:23

totally right that it

17:25

was get Trump through

17:27

get Putin and So

17:29

that's the outside foreign policy that he aligns

17:32

with Trump completely eye to eye on. And

17:34

then the internal threats is

17:36

he said, this was very

17:39

interesting. See, Brookings Institute

17:41

types, they were never told their

17:43

wars were stupid or their generals were

17:45

losers. Gone right after

17:47

the generals. I know you guys have read his

17:49

books and have said in chat, you know, read his

17:51

books or listen to more of him. I just

17:53

haven't had time. This

17:55

just happened like four hours ago, guys. I

17:58

did not, you know, I got a

18:00

lot of other stuff going on. I didn't.

18:02

There's other people who had diligence for

18:04

this DoD spot. Pete Hexeth

18:06

was not one of them. So. But

18:10

what I'm what I'm saying here. OK,

18:14

what I'm saying here is this fact

18:16

that he says not only were the

18:18

worst stupid, but for the generals were

18:20

losers. Trump has

18:22

had this giant battle with the generals.

18:25

I've told you guys this story many times

18:27

before. But when I

18:30

was just a humble scribe, when

18:32

I was Donald Trump's speechwriter, I

18:34

remember the day they

18:37

walked in and said, Donald

18:39

Trump wants you to look

18:42

up what JFK had to say

18:44

about his generals. And

18:46

I thought, oh my god, does

18:49

he think his generals are

18:51

going to kill him? What

18:53

did JFK have to say about his generals? But

18:58

that's how locked in horns -wise

19:00

Trump was with the general

19:02

class. So putting

19:04

someone above the generals

19:06

as the secretary of defense

19:08

to be able to

19:11

clean house and then setting

19:13

up an independent board

19:15

to basically keep a constant

19:17

eye out for threats

19:19

to Pete Hegseth. It's

19:23

kind of fucking epic. It's kind of

19:25

like an epic. Okay.

19:34

Very interesting. Very

19:36

interesting. Okay. All

19:39

right. We're

19:41

learning something here. I'm

19:44

learning. I don't know if you guys are.

19:46

This is all new to me. There's a chance

19:48

to course correct it, but it would take

19:50

a new Trump administration going after it really hard.

19:52

How would they correct it? Well,

19:54

first of all, you gotta fire, you gotta

19:57

fire the chairman and joint chiefs, and you gotta

19:59

fire this, I mean, obviously you're gonna bring

20:01

in a new secretary of defense, but any general

20:03

that was involved, general admiral, whatever that was

20:05

involved in any of the DEI woke, shit, it's

20:07

gotta go. Either you're in

20:09

for war fighting, and that's it, and

20:11

that's the only litmus test we care

20:13

about. You gotta get DEI

20:15

and CRT out of military academies, so you're not

20:17

training young officers to be baptized in this

20:19

type of thinking. And

20:21

then whatever the standards, whatever the, Combat

20:23

standards were say and I don't know

20:25

1995 Let's just make those the standards

20:27

and as far as recruiting to hire

20:29

the guy that you know did Top

20:31

Gun Maverick and create some real ads

20:34

that motivate people to want to serve

20:36

and There's lots of other ways in

20:38

which you could identify who gets promoted

20:40

and what but there's an ethos change

20:42

and there's a reason we're not people

20:44

don't want to serve because they don't

20:46

trust that Their senior leaders are gonna

20:48

have their best interest in mind in

20:50

combat. I know there were mistakes made

20:52

on our tours all over the place. But

20:55

I at least, for the most

20:57

part, had a sense that my senior

20:59

leaders were committed to the completion of

21:01

the mission for the right reasons. And

21:04

maybe there were strategic differences and

21:06

all that other stuff, and it wasn't

21:08

always perfect, but that trust is

21:10

broken. And you have to

21:12

reestablish that trust by putting in no

21:14

-nonsense warfighters in those positions who aren't

21:16

going to cater to the socially

21:18

correct garbage. That's

21:21

good stuff. I

21:24

Know more about this

21:26

than I should But

21:28

I did get a

21:30

Pentagon DEI program shot

21:32

down During the Biden

21:34

administration in 2021 So

21:36

basically you get the

21:38

point so if you're

21:40

wondering why the knives

21:42

are out for Pete

21:44

Hegseth that's what my

21:46

so he's Fighting with

21:48

the generals. He's fighting

21:50

with the council on

21:52

foreign relations. He's fighting

21:54

with the Brookings Institute,

21:56

the war machine. And

21:59

now they came down on him really

22:01

hard. So he fires the people under him

22:03

who told him, hey, don't go to

22:05

war with Iran. Because I

22:07

think he was up for going for war with Iran. And

22:10

then there are everybody from Tulsi to JD

22:12

to his three top advisors like, hey, no, this

22:14

would actually mess us up. This

22:16

would be, this would put us in a bad spot. And

22:19

you're the defense secretary, so it's

22:21

gonna fall on your head So now

22:23

that you go ahead you don't

22:25

think that um Cuz seems like they

22:27

were like faking there for it

22:30

all three of them seemed to me

22:32

like they were faking being for

22:34

it and maybe and that would explain

22:36

why they seemed so 180 You

22:38

know what I mean on the initial

22:40

thing. Yeah. Yeah, maybe they had

22:42

to do that to get confirmed who

22:44

knows But If

22:46

you go to, so there's that. I've talked

22:48

about this before. They're a sponsor, Kelsey. You

22:51

can bet on anything. You

22:55

can bet on politics. You can bet on who's

22:57

gonna win the Canadian election. You

22:59

can bet on who, when Trump ran, you can

23:01

bet on that. Well, now, guess what? You can

23:03

bet who's gonna leave their role in the Trump

23:05

administration this year. You can go there and bet. The

23:08

first one at top, it says Pete

23:10

Hegseth, Secretary of Defense. 48 % of the

23:12

money is on him. Him

23:15

leaving first Peter Navarro Howard Luke

23:17

Nick. I'd like to see that guy

23:19

go. I don't like that I

23:21

bet betting knows the smart bet on

23:23

that because he said he sucks

23:25

so bad Howard let Nick. Yeah, he's

23:27

really a demon that guy and

23:29

Go ahead. Do it. Did I know

23:32

what Nixon was talking about firebalming

23:34

the Brookings Institute back in the day?

23:36

No, they didn't want to pay

23:38

for the getaway car or something. No

23:40

kidding. Yeah, so this is This

23:42

is who will leave their role in

23:44

the Trump administration this year. 48

23:47

% of the money is on Pete Hegseth,

23:50

30. So that's the administration. But now,

23:53

with Trump's cabinet, which is different, his

23:56

cabinet is different. Again,

23:58

Pete Hegseth, number one

24:01

at Calchi. The

24:03

money is on Pete Hegseth. And

24:05

then underneath that's Howard Ludnik, who

24:08

I hope that guy goes. 20

24:11

% and then Scott Besson,

24:13

which is the Secretary of

24:15

Treasury at 10 % So if

24:17

you don't know what calcium

24:19

is you can bet this

24:21

is legit like they have

24:24

to register with the The

24:26

SEC and all that stuff

24:28

start betting right? I that's

24:30

the message I'm getting yeah

24:32

Hey, don't we have a

24:34

thing that we can Don't

24:38

we have a deal if people

24:41

want to go over there to our

24:43

sponsor Kelsey Stand by I I

24:45

think I was in a sponsor for

24:47

24:49

the knives are out for Pete

25:14

Hegseth Yeah, I'm gonna put a

25:16

little money on that but who knows

25:18

maybe Trump knows the game But

25:20

we'll see if I'm wrong. I'll

25:22

be happy. Yeah, that'd be money.

25:24

I'd be glad to lose, huh? Like

25:29

I'd like to bet on Howard Lutnik

25:31

28:06

Trump made a post on Truth

28:08

Soul Show, but it's all about Crimea.

28:10

So Trump, I predict

28:12

Trump is going to

28:14

walk away from the... Ukraine

28:17

negotiations because here's the here's the

28:19

funny thing, you know Trump is acting

28:21

like all the United States is

28:23

the negotiator What you forget is that

28:25

the United States is actually at

28:27

war with Russia. That's the so and

28:29

And so you don't get to

28:31

come in and knock now. We're neutral.

28:33

No, he's still arming We're still

28:35

arming Ukraine. We gave them hundreds of

28:38

billions of dollars. We were at

28:40

war with Russia and Russia knows this

28:42

and guess what we lost Guess

28:45

what we lost like we

28:47

lose every war Russia won

28:49

and so Russia gets to

28:51

set the terms of the

28:54

peace deal and and Zelensky

28:56

thinks he can stop Russia

28:58

from setting the terms if

29:00

Russia wants they could take

29:02

over Ukraine But what they

29:04

prop what they want is

29:06

they're gonna keep Crimea, which

29:08

is the part they annexed

29:10

in 2014 Which

29:13

they already had which was part

29:15

of Russia for hundreds of

29:17

years as was the borderlands aka

29:19

the Ukraine, right? Yeah,

29:21

right So and the big problem

29:23

as I've explained on this

29:25

show many times is that Ukraine

29:27

was was slaughtering and bombing

29:30

the Russian ethnic Russians in the

29:32

east part of Ukraine who

29:34

didn't want to go along with

29:36

their coup government. The United

29:38

States overthrew the Ukrainian government in

29:40

2014, the Maidan coup, of

29:43

Victoria Newland, the CIA, the

29:45

United States did that, because

29:47

the president of Ukraine at

29:49

the time was favoring Russia.

29:52

Being in business with Russia as opposed

29:54

to the European Union and we couldn't

29:56

have that so we overthrew their government

29:58

The Russian ethnic Russian speaking people in

30:00

the eastern part of Ukraine didn't want

30:02

to go along with that coup government

30:05

after we installed our puppets Well, Ukraine

30:07

just kept bombing them. There was a

30:09

couple of peace deals Ukraine broke a

30:11

both and so when Putin invaded Ukraine

30:13

it wasn't the start of war. It

30:15

was to end a war It was

30:17

to end the slaughter of the people

30:19

in the Donbass That

30:22

was one objective. So

30:25

now Donald Trump's move on

30:27

Russia occupied Crimea forces Europe

30:29

to choose sides Donald Trump's

30:31

move on Russia occupied Crimea

30:34

So let me read that

30:36

again. Donald Trump's move on

30:38

Russia occupied Crimea. Just say

30:40

Crimea Assholes at financial times.

30:43

Yeah, I know right Donald

30:45

Trump. mean the thing that's

30:47

theirs. Okay. Yeah, go the

30:49

thing that's Russians And

30:51

by the way, 90 % of the people

30:53

in Crimea want to be a part of

30:56

Russia. And they're Russian. And they're Russian. So

31:00

the problem is that Zelensky said

31:02

we will not have any peace deal

31:04

that gives Crimea to Russia. So

31:06

that means there's not going to be

31:08

no peace deal. So there's nothing

31:10

in it for Russia to stop. Because

31:13

they're winning. How is

31:15

Lyski alive still? I don't get

31:18

it. You've killed better men for much

31:20

less. And so here's

31:22

what Trump so Trump tweeted this

31:24

out after Zelensky said I will

31:26

not I do not accept a

31:28

peace deal That means that gives

31:30

up Crimea Well tell that to

31:32

the people of Crimea because they

31:34

don't want to be part of

31:36

Ukraine So that's just another garbage

31:38

talking point Donald Trump posted this

31:40

on truth social He said Ukrainian

31:42

president Zelensky is boasting on the

31:44

front pages of the Wall Street

31:46

Journal that Ukraine will not legally

31:48

recognize the occupation of Crimea There's

31:51

nothing to talk about there now

31:53

the the funny part about that is

31:55

it doesn't matter if Ukraine recognizes

31:57

Russia occupying Crimea. They are There's black

31:59

rock recognize it. That's what counts.

32:01

Yeah, that's right It doesn't matter Ukraine

32:03

can recognize it not recognize it

32:05

play hide and seek with it I

32:08

Could do whatever it what doesn't

32:10

matter Ukraine does not matter they've lost

32:12

the war As we all predicted

32:14

giving them money And it was always

32:16

predicted at this show since day

32:18

one that this war is going to

32:20

end up exactly the way Russia

32:22

wanted it to end up. And they

32:24

had a peace deal immediately that

32:27

was way more favorable to Ukraine than

32:29

what they're going to get now.

32:31

And Ukraine walked away from it because

32:33

Boris Johnson and Victoria Newell told

32:35

them to stop it. So they walked

32:37

away from it. So

32:39

they did. They walked away from that peace

32:41

deal and we said at the time, they just

32:43

screwed up. This is the best

32:45

deal they're gonna get it's only gonna get

32:47

worse from here because Russia's gonna win this

32:50

war and the winners get to decide the

32:52

terms Plus they have a lot of casualties

32:54

Russia you think they have all those casualties

32:56

for nothing What are they the United States

32:58

right this statement? So Trump says

33:00

this statement him saying Ukraine will

33:02

not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea

33:04

There's nothing to talk about there.

33:06

This statement is very harmful to the

33:08

peace negotiations with Russia and that

33:11

Crimea was lost years ago Meaning

33:13

11 years ago under the auspices

33:15

of President Barack Hussein Obama. I'd

33:17

like to use his whole name

33:20

and There's not even a point

33:22

of discussion. It's not even a

33:24

point of discussion. This happened under

33:26

Barack Obama Yeah, right. I remember

33:28

it very very well Nobody is

33:30

asking Zelensky to recognize Crimea as

33:32

Russian territory, but if he wants

33:34

Crimea Why didn't they fight for

33:36

it 11 years ago when it

33:38

was handed over to Russia without

33:41

a shot being fired? Fair

33:43

question. Oh, because the

33:45

residents were Russian and they

33:47

didn't trust the coup.

33:49

The area also houses for

33:52

many years before the

33:54

Obama handover major Russian submarine

33:56

bases. It's inflammatory

33:58

statements like Zelensky's that make

34:00

it so difficult to settle

34:02

this war. He has nothing

34:04

to boast about. The situation

34:06

for Ukraine is dire. He

34:09

can have peace or He

34:11

can fight for another three years

34:13

before losing the whole country. I

34:15

have nothing to do with Russia

34:17

but have much to do with

34:20

wanting to save on average 5

34:22

,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a

34:24

week who are dying for no

34:26

reason whatsoever. The statement

34:28

made by Zelensky today will

34:30

do nothing but prolong

34:32

the killing field and nobody

34:34

wants that. We are

34:36

very close to a deal, but the

34:38

man with the no cards to

34:40

play should now finally get it done,

34:42

meaning Zelensky. I look forward to

34:45

being able to help Ukraine and Russia

34:47

get out of this complete and

34:49

total mess that would have never have

34:51

started if I were president. So

34:54

he's laying it out. And

34:57

so he's like, hey, this

34:59

is it. And I predict

35:01

that Zelensky is being told

35:03

by his European people and

35:06

the neocons in the United

35:08

States. Don't let go

35:10

of me and make that your line

35:12

in the sand because they know that

35:14

that means the war will go on forever

35:16

Yes, let's be smart to keep listening

35:18

to them like that first time he was

35:21

really smart to listen to bojo. Yeah,

35:23

it's a no -go and So now this

35:25

creates a problem for Europe So

35:27

as the Financial Times

35:29

says Donald Trump's ultimatum for

35:31

the US to recognize

35:33

Russia's annexation of Crimea has

35:35

suddenly confronted European capitals

35:37

with an agonizing choice stick

35:39

with Kiev or side

35:41

with Washington Some European officials

35:43

fare differences over the

35:46

Trump administration's one -sided draft

35:48

accord will put one -sided

35:50

draft accord they lost the

35:52

United States Europe and

35:54

Ukraine lost the war Will

35:59

put bilateral relations with

36:01

London, Berlin and other

36:03

capitals to the test

36:05

undermine transatlantic security transatlantic

36:07

security and potentially derail

36:09

a NATO summit in

36:11

late June good Good,

36:13

let's derail that NATO

36:15

summit the Europeans. Oh,

36:17

no. Oh, no The

36:19

Europe where's my fainting

36:21

couch The

36:24

Europeans has always been in a weak

36:26

position to stand up to the United

36:28

States said Jeremy Shapiro director of the

36:30

US program at the European Council on

36:32

Foreign Relations They've been trying to avoid

36:34

it it for that reason wait because

36:36

we pay for everything could that be

36:38

the reason that's probably the reason European

36:42

hopes of being included in the

36:44

U .S.-led talks were dashed on Wednesday

36:46

when U .S. Secretary of State Marco

36:48

Rubio pulled out of the meeting in

36:50

London with Ukrainian and European officials

36:52

and Trump's Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff opted

36:54

instead to make his fourth visit

36:57

to the Kremlin. The

37:00

Trump administration has presented Kiev with

37:02

the outline of a take it

37:04

or leave it deal with terms

37:06

highly favorable to Moscow because they

37:08

won the war. That's

37:12

why the Financial Times doesn't

37:14

want to tell you that they

37:16

want to make it look

37:18

like Trump siding with Russia Russia

37:20

won the war. I would

37:22

cave cave like to be presented

37:24

with Exploding instead of that.

37:26

Yeah, there's your other joys cave

37:30

Including the US recognition of Russia's

37:33

sovereignty over Crimea 11 years

37:35

after it annexed the Ukrainian Peninsula

37:37

in Contravention of international law.

37:39

Okay, I got your international law

37:41

right here President Voldemort Zelinsky

37:43

refused once again on Tuesday to

37:45

recognize Russia's sovereignty over any

37:47

of the territory to cease since

37:49

2014 Kiev however is ready

37:52

to live live with de facto

37:54

Russian control in return for

37:56

Western security guarantees yet because they

37:58

have no choice They're

38:00

ready to live with Russia

38:02

controlling Crimea because they don't have

38:04

a choice But thousands more

38:06

people should die over semantics On

38:09

Wednesday Trump blast out at

38:11

Zelensky stands calling it very harmful.

38:13

I just read you that

38:15

He could have peace or he

38:17

can fight another three years

38:19

before losing the whole country Washington's

38:21

offered to endorse Moscow's control

38:24

of Crimea breaking with the agreed

38:26

policy of NATO is

38:29

possibly the biggest concession it has

38:31

made to Moscow in recent months in

38:33

its haste to strike a deal. I

38:36

think it's not that big of a concession, since

38:38

I don't give a f... I don't give a

38:40

flying fuck about Crimea. Do you? Yeah, it does

38:42

seem like a concession. It seems like a win

38:44

-win to me. Yep. A concession.

38:46

A close ally of German Chancellor

38:48

to be Friedrich Merz said late

38:50

on Wednesday that Europe could not

38:52

accept the proposal. Well, good! Then

38:54

you keep fighting in Ukraine. You

38:57

go to war with Russia then

38:59

good Germany. Oh

39:01

Yeah, I'll work out great for you.

39:03

Yeah, I bet it's gonna work out

39:05

great your your economy that pipeline first

39:07

you have enough gas Yeah, you let

39:09

them blow up their pipeline and now

39:11

you're paying three four times of the

39:13

rate for energy Then you were before

39:15

the United States blew up the pipeline

39:17

and your economy is in a recession.

39:20

They call it a contraction It will

39:22

sell the gas cheap yeah, Putin will

39:24

achieve all his goals And the message

39:26

that would be sent out would be,

39:28

I can afford such aggression. I will

39:30

prevail in the end and achieve my

39:32

goals. Thorsten Frey, a senior MP

39:34

with the center -right Christian Democrats set on

39:36

television show. And that means if you

39:38

look at the tradition in which Putin sees

39:40

himself, that he will continue. So it's

39:42

this lie. It's this domino theory. So this

39:44

is the domino theory that if we

39:46

don't stop Putin now, he's going to keep

39:48

going. going to take over Lithuania and

39:50

he's going to take over Poland and Germany.

39:53

He's going to take over the whole

39:55

continent. That's all a lie. You

39:57

know what I think, Jimmy? I think if Putin doesn't

39:59

stop you assholes now, you're going to keep going. That's

40:01

what I think. Yeah. The

40:04

Trump administration has also

40:06

ruled out Ukraine's membership of

40:08

NATO, a longstanding

40:11

Russian objection to a NATO

40:13

pledge to allow Kiev

40:15

into the alliance at a

40:17

future point. While Moscow

40:19

has been lavished with inducements.

40:22

Kiev has been subjected to

40:24

pressure and threats It has

40:26

been offered little in exchange

40:28

for giving up its territory

40:31

because it lost the fucking

40:33

war That's why they have

40:35

no leverage or in as

40:37

George Costanza says we have

40:39

no hand Who'd you have

40:42

to dress up like a

40:44

hula girl like he used

40:46

to do They have

40:48

it belly dance into the meeting like

40:50

a little hula girl. So this

40:52

is from the Financial Times and I

40:54

just love how they write these

40:57

stories as if Ukraine hasn't lost those

40:59

territories already They lost them. There's

41:01

zero recognition of the facts on the

41:03

ground in these newspaper stories Which

41:05

is what they expect Russia they expect

41:07

Russia to give back territory that

41:09

they won at a great cost To

41:11

in lives and treasure rush is

41:13

not doing that. They're not giving

41:15

it back The

41:18

worst case would be if the US cannot

41:20

reach a deal between Ukraine and Russia, and

41:22

this is all pushed on Ukraine. This is

41:25

when Europe would have to choose. Yeah.

41:30

Oh, I wonder what they'll choose. I wonder

41:32

what they'll choose, Kurt. Ukrainian officials said

41:34

before Wednesday's talks that they were prepared

41:36

to discuss other terms of Washington's outline

41:38

deal. Ukraine is ready

41:40

to negotiate, but not to surrender. There

41:44

will be no agreement that hands Russia

41:47

the stronger foundations it needs to regroup

41:49

and return to with greater violence. Okay,

41:52

I guess you just got to give away your whole country then,

41:54

as Trump said. The war's

41:56

been going on for what, four years? Yeah,

41:59

people think they've been winning. I

42:01

know people that think they've been winning

42:03

Jimmy like it when they say

42:06

to me I know people I well

42:08

horror movie those are people who

42:10

are on their 10th booster Kurt I

42:12

I wish I could say it

42:14

was all that but the one dude

42:16

I know is because he went

42:18

to officer school and he wasn't a

42:20

grunt He was an officer and

42:22

that's where they train you that nonsense

42:24

Western officials told Financial Times that

42:26

European capitals would not endorse any move

42:28

by the US to recognize Crimea

42:30

as Russian or Pressure Kiev to agree

42:32

to it and they would hold

42:34

fast to a long held position that

42:36

they would not accept anything regarding

42:38

Ukraine sovereignty that Zelensky opposed Crimea is

42:40

Ukraine European Union foreign policy chief

42:42

told French news so so good so

42:44

you guys go fund the war

42:46

Best of luck to you. Best of

42:49

luck. I think you're gonna do

42:51

it this time Things don't

42:53

look good at all, said an

42:55

EU official. Any move by the U

42:57

.S. to recognize Crimea as Russia or

42:59

demand that European capitals ease sanctions

43:01

on Moscow would kill European Union unity.

43:03

It's all looking back. Well, screw your

43:06

European Union unity. It should have been

43:08

done back when you blew up that

43:10

pipeline and had the Slovakian president shot

43:12

because he wanted to look into Pfizer

43:14

and stop funding Ukraine. It should have

43:16

been done back then. Yeah, the European

43:18

Unity should have been overdue when they

43:20

blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, which

43:23

cast all your economies

43:25

into recessions and makes you

43:27

pay two, three, four

43:29

times the price for energy.

43:31

That's when European Unity

43:33

should have stopped. So

43:35

it's over. So I can't wait

43:37

for Trump to... And the war will

43:40

end very quickly after... If Trump

43:42

pulls out all support for Ukraine, it

43:44

will end very quickly. No,

43:46

of course because they were

43:48

only hanging on because they think

43:50

they've got people planted within

43:52

the system that are gonna keep

43:54

the money going to Ukraine

43:56

and so far they have done

43:58

that and and remember the

44:00

United States is not a neutral

44:02

negotiator in this war they

44:04

are There are at war with

44:06

you with Russia and they

44:08

lost the United States lost We're

44:11

gonna have all these people

44:13

die so that we can Save

44:15

face for our crash dummy

44:17

here Ukraine. Yeah Okay over over

44:19

so I look forward to

44:21

Trump getting us out of that

44:23

I Know that Ukraine has

44:25

been a bombing inside Russia and

44:27

they're using United States Himmars

44:29

as they call which can only

44:31

be used with a key

44:33

code from the United States, meaning

44:35

if the United States doesn't

44:37

give them the key code, they

44:39

can't do it. So basically

44:41

the United States and Ukraine have

44:43

been bombing inside Russia. And

44:46

they blew up a car

44:48

recently in Moscow, and I'm

44:50

pretty sure they've been drone

44:52

bombing Moscow. Check me

44:54

in that in the comments. Why can't

44:56

we call them Hermars, Jimmy? How

44:59

about

45:01

themars? They

45:03

themars. So

45:05

the clusters so so Putin's

45:07

hit back and he bombed

45:10

Inside he's Kiev and it

45:12

killed nine people which every

45:14

death's a tragedy, but you

45:16

know as we watch Gaza

45:18

nine people being killed Is

45:21

low on the scale? So

45:23

Trump decided to this this is

45:25

how he got him to stop

45:28

in rare rebuke of Putin Trump

45:30

urges Russia to stop what he

45:32

said First of

45:34

all, this is where Hillary Clinton

45:36

would have came in really handy because

45:38

she would just go up there

45:40

and tell them, knock it off. Remember

45:42

how she told, remember what she

45:45

told Ball Street? Knock it off. She

45:47

had the knock it off button she could press. Yeah.

45:49

They'd put knock it off. So

45:51

here's what he, here's what he

45:53

tweeted out. I'm not happy with

45:55

the Russian strikes on Kiev. Not

45:57

necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir,

45:59

stop. Five

46:01

thousand soldiers a week are dying. Let's get

46:03

the peace deal done stop. So that's it

46:05

stop Oh, I all it took was for you

46:08

to write that in caps. Was that a

46:10

why why you've been waiting? The

46:12

Trump tweeted it is the story

46:14

Trump tweeted stop I Mean what a

46:16

nonsense story. Oh, he did tweet

46:18

it. What a rebuke whoa So you're

46:20

not happy with the airstrikes. How

46:22

about the Israelis they love airstrikes check

46:24

with them. I bet they love

46:26

it Keep it up tweets to be

46:28

me Come on, you've got them

46:30

all. Check with the Israeli. You have

46:32

them all throughout your administration. Russia

46:37

struck Kiev with an hours -long barrage

46:39

of missiles and drones, at least 12

46:41

people. Oh, no, 12 people. It was

46:43

nine. Now, it's 12 people were killed

46:45

and 90 were injured at the desliest

46:47

assault on the city since last July. Trump's

46:50

Russia. No IDF. Yeah, they're

46:52

no IDF. If that was the IDF, they would

46:54

have flattened about 400 or 500 people. Trump's

46:57

frustration is growing as the U .S.-led effort

46:59

to get a peace agreement between Ukraine

47:01

and Russia has not made progress. I wonder

47:03

why. I wonder why

47:05

it's not making progress. The comments

47:07

about Putin came after Trump lashed

47:09

out at Ukrainian President Zelensky on Wednesday

47:11

in accusation of prolonging the killing

47:13

field by refusing to surrender the

47:15

Russia -occupied Crimea. With

47:18

his assertion that Putin demonstrated very

47:20

bad timing with the massive attack Trump

47:22

appeared to suggest that the Russian

47:24

leader was doing himself No favors toward

47:26

achieving the Kremlin's demand that any

47:29

peace agreement include Russia keeping control of

47:31

Crimea as well as Ukrainian territory

47:33

in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zephyr, Fazia, Lewis

47:35

and Clark We got

47:37

to ship these people

47:40

vowels post haste and

47:42

Kirsten. I Think

47:44

she's funny that Kirsten lady Have

47:46

you seen her? Oh, Jess Kirsten? Yeah,

47:48

Jess Kirsten, she's funny. Anyway,

47:51

so the point I wanted to show

47:54

you is that Trump's tweet is he

47:56

says, stop! That's how he's

47:58

gonna get it done. All cap,

48:00

stop! What a news -making

48:02

tweet. That's what

48:04

Putin is doing now to help forge

48:06

a peace deal. Trump responding, stopping

48:08

taking the whole country. That's a pretty

48:10

big concession. Yeah. But

48:14

the notion is one that

48:16

Ukraine and much of Europe have

48:19

fiercely pushed back against arguing

48:21

that Russia Pausing a land grab

48:23

is hardly a concession again

48:25

the AP just like the Financial

48:27

Times Russia doesn't have to

48:30

make any concessions. They won the

48:32

fucking war Fiercely pushed back

48:34

do you mean lamely and then

48:36

lost is that what you

48:38

mean by fiercely? Trump

48:41

criticism of Putin is notable

48:44

because Trump has repeatedly said

48:46

Russia is more willing than

48:48

Ukraine to get a deal

48:50

done I didn't like last

48:52

night Trump said of Russia's

48:54

massive attack on Kiev. I

48:56

wasn't happy with it Sounds

48:58

like somebody waking up after

49:00

a ditty party Something happened

49:02

that wasn't too chill last

49:04

night. I like last night

49:08

My ass didn't like last

49:10

night. My ass got murdered. In

49:15

his dealings with Zelensky and Putin, Trump

49:17

has focused on which leader has leverage?

49:19

Putin has the cards and Zelensky does

49:21

not. I mean, it's

49:23

very basic stuff. There's really no reason

49:25

for this to go on at all.

49:27

It's very basic. During talks last week

49:29

in Paris, US officials presented a proposal

49:31

that included allowing Russia to keep control

49:33

of occupied Ukrainian territories part of the

49:35

deal. The proposal was

49:37

discussed again Wednesday during the talks. You

49:39

have to appear in 70s episode

49:41

The the principle of Ukraine's territorial integrity.

49:44

It's not something that can be

49:46

negotiated. Yes, it yes, it is that

49:48

would know it was taken by

49:50

force Yeah, if that if that makes

49:52

you happy to say that yeah,

49:54

I love this can be taken from

49:56

you It was can't be negotiated.

49:58

There's no negotiation Trump the Russian Russia

50:00

took it Is this a joke This

50:04

was the position taken last

50:06

week of reiterated yesterday in London

50:08

in meeting seven four So

50:10

now it's like they're trying to

50:13

play tough But the they're

50:15

trying to play tough with the

50:17

United States, which is the

50:19

country that makes them tough You

50:21

can't without us. You're not

50:24

tough. I Don't understand

50:26

what they don't get about that. And also

50:28

Israel comes before you That's our first

50:30

wife. That's right. Our first wife. Our side

50:32

piece. That's right. Money's on the

50:34

dresser, honey. I'm finished with you. That's what

50:36

America said to Ukraine. That's right. But

50:39

he's saying stop because the thing of walking away from

50:41

both of them and let him duke it out because

50:43

I don't care no more. I think that's why he's

50:45

saying that to both of them in the tweet. You

50:47

know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Posting

50:50

Vladimir stop. This is Michael

50:52

Tracy has to be the funniest

50:54

of all possible strategies for

50:56

ending the Ukraine war. Well

51:00

said Michael Tracy Guess what

51:02

the real purpose of the

51:04

Syrian war is now Manifest

51:06

or one of the real

51:08

purposes It's what Israel wanted

51:11

why that's right. I should

51:13

have that video of Netanyahu

51:15

saying well, we got to

51:17

take out Libya. We got

51:19

to take out Syria We

51:22

got to take out Iraq

51:24

and Iran and then everybody

51:26

will then there'll be peace

51:28

and democracy The original maga

51:30

project. Yeah greater Israel project.

51:33

So Syria willing to normalize

51:35

ties with Israel What I

51:37

so you realize that Syria

51:39

is run by al -Qaeda,

51:41

right? They're supposed to be

51:44

jihadists. They're supposed to hate

51:46

Jews in the Israel, but

51:48

it's funny that ISIS and

51:50

Al Qaeda never attack Israel.

51:52

Isn't that funny? They're supposed

51:55

to be their sworn enemies.

51:57

It's almost like Al Qaeda

51:59

and ISIS were invented by

52:01

the United States in Israel.

52:03

It's almost like that. In

52:06

Pakistan, do you have the jokes? Goodbye,

52:09

Axis of Evil. Hello,

52:11

Axis of Normalizing Relations with

52:13

Israel. I'm

52:19

just waiting to find out that

52:21

Jolani, so this is Jolani, that's

52:23

the leader. I'm just waiting to

52:25

find out that his real name is Fred

52:27

Shinebaum. And

52:30

he's from Queens, New

52:32

York. That's

52:35

what I'm waiting for. So

52:38

they're open to normalizing ties

52:40

with Israel. Really? You're

52:43

sworn enemy. They're

52:45

less radical than Columbia

52:47

University. There

52:49

but he's there, but it's got to be

52:51

under the right conditions. What conditions would

52:53

those be to have Israel stop bombing

52:55

you? Would

52:58

that be the condition? So

53:01

Sayed Mohammed Morandi said Syria

53:03

is willing to join the

53:05

Abraham Abraham Accords. No nice

53:07

This was the objective of

53:09

the dirty war against Syria

53:12

from the beginning Well,

53:15

but so because it was doesn't mean that

53:17

it's part of the greater Israel project They

53:19

want part of Syria and they want Syria

53:21

on their side. They want people who are

53:23

running so that's what this was always this

53:25

was there it is Don't you feel like

53:28

a sucker and the people who said this

53:30

you called us a sadists? You

53:33

called us a sadists when I said this

53:35

sir Syrian war is not what it looks

53:37

like And it may be hungry because it

53:39

sounds like a burrito Jordan

53:44

Peterson should interview him for the Daily

53:46

Wire. They

53:51

should talk about how anti -Semitic

53:53

Candace Owens. I like

53:55

Syria. We will fight you right up

53:57

until the Abraham Accords. Right

53:59

up until then. Then

54:02

we're cool. This is a

54:04

real mitzvah, Jimmy. Yeah,

54:06

George Galway says dear

54:08

shields for this hang

54:11

your heads in shame

54:13

Refrain from further public

54:15

comment accept your disgrace.

54:18

You are useful idiots

54:20

for Israel and the

54:22

Empire or worse He's talking

54:24

to Jordan Peterson

54:26

So this was always in

54:29

Israeli Plan this was

54:31

always an Israeli operation and like

54:33

always they get the United States to

54:35

do most of their dirty work

54:37

Well, you Syria did a

54:39

lot of shadow work

54:41

Just like in Iraq

54:43

just like in Yemen

54:46

just like in

54:48

Libya Israel gets it and now they're

54:50

trying to get it and just like and say that

54:52

Israel got the United States to do most of

54:54

their dirty work And now they're trying to get us

54:56

to do their dirty work in Iran and I

54:58

bet it's gonna work Yeah,

55:00

that's why we know the Ukraine one's gonna end

55:03

because we got to get to work in Iran

55:05

They've been busy pushing it. I don't Pete

55:07

Hegseth was undercover trying to keep us

55:09

out of Iran But maybe because they're trying

55:11

to get rid of them. Yeah, well,

55:13

we're gonna talk about that next If only

55:15

Christian if only Christopher Hitchens was alive

55:17

to see this, huh? See

55:22

he was a dupe Syrian

55:25

girl says new Syrian regime Jilani

55:27

says he wants to sign the

55:29

Abraham Accords with Israel We tried

55:31

to warn you that the Syrian

55:34

Revolution were a bunch of

55:36

Zionist puppets and al -Qaeda But

55:38

you called us asadists and helped

55:40

destroy Syria who me I

55:42

didn't even know you so

55:44

Not

55:46

you Kurt Syria

55:52

is prepared to normalize ties with Israel

55:54

and join the Abraham Accords under the

55:56

right conditions. The al -Qaeda

55:58

president of Syria said. Republican

56:02

congressman and President Donald

56:04

Trump ally Corey Mills

56:06

met with the Shura.

56:08

So his name is...

56:10

Is his name Shura?

56:12

I thought it was

56:14

Jolani. Who's Shura? Shura,

56:18

Ahmed al -Shura. No,

56:23

he's the president chara. I

56:25

thought Jolani was

56:27

Who's Jolani? Isn't

56:30

this Jolani? That's

56:32

Jolani. He's the president. Oh, it's

56:34

a serious indium air interim president.

56:36

I'm not Oh, no, I guess

56:38

that's show chara. Who's Jolani? It

56:40

does say on the bottom. That's Jolani.

56:48

Hey, Syria, who's Jolani? No,

56:54

that's not an American

56:57

actor singer dancer wait,

56:59

is it is it

57:01

a Zay Jelani that

57:03

journalist reported this or

57:05

something Wait this guy's

57:07

got a real Gerard

57:10

Butler look to him

57:12

doesn't he like 300

57:14

they're the same guy.

57:16

They're the same guy.

57:18

They just have different

57:20

names His name

57:23

is Jelani also He's

57:25

also known as Jelani

57:27

So he's some kind

57:29

of intelligence as just

57:31

like how BB Netanyahu

57:33

aka BB eat Ben

57:35

Itai aka John Jamison.

57:37

Yeah, so no, so

57:39

this guy is known

57:41

as So take her

57:43

so this guy is

57:45

president of Syria Ahmad

57:47

El Shahr also known

57:50

as Jelani So

57:52

his name was Ahmad Al -Jalani and he

57:54

made it Al -Sharah. I guess. Oh,

57:56

okay. So it's like how did he

57:58

would rebrand every time he committed a crime?

58:01

He was born Ahmed

58:03

Hussein Al -Sharah in 1982.

58:05

He's also known by

58:07

his name Dagur Abu

58:10

Mohammed Al -Jalani. So

58:12

he's been a secret agent asset the

58:14

whole goddamn time. whole goddamn time. Like

58:17

Osama bin Laden aka Tim

58:19

Osman. when he would be Visit

58:21

America. So

58:30

he adopted the Jelani name to

58:32

signify his family's origins from the

58:34

Golan Heights, which they're now giving

58:36

to Israel. And they're

58:38

all pals. So he's

58:40

Israeli. So he's Israeli. Just

58:43

like I said, we're going to find

58:45

out his name is Marty Shinebaum. I

58:48

can't wait. He's

58:51

from Dearborn Syria has been

58:53

so Syria's been pummeled by

58:56

Israeli strikes since Assad's ouster

58:58

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

59:00

also sent Israeli soldiers into

59:02

Syria to occupy a swath

59:04

of Mountainous Southwest Syria giving

59:06

the Israeli army a perch

59:09

over Damascus the Israeli occupation

59:11

of Syria is one of

59:13

the host of challenges That's

59:15

Sarah or Jelani faces. Syria's

59:18

economy is in shambles with most

59:20

of the country living in poverty and

59:22

the estimated cost of reconstruction from

59:24

the civil war around 400 billion. Oh,

59:26

let me guess, he's going to

59:29

meet the challenge and successfully do it

59:31

and be an example to the

59:33

other Arab countries to work with Israel

59:35

and fit within the whatever pyramid

59:37

we're building out there. How much you

59:39

want to bet? Shirah's

59:41

comments about joining the Abraham Accords

59:43

would put him more into

59:45

lockstep with the United Arab Emirates,

59:47

Bahrain, and Morocco, which normalized

59:50

ties with Israel in 2020. None

59:53

of those Arab countries, however, fought a

59:55

war with Israel. Shirah himself

59:57

hails originally from the Golan Heights,

59:59

a strategic mountainous region of

1:00:01

Syria, which Israel occupied in 1967,

1:00:04

and then annexed. After

1:00:06

Assad's ouster, Israeli troops pushed

1:00:08

deeper into Syria. Taking over a

1:00:10

UN buffer zone a buffer.

1:00:12

We got buffers Yeah, we got

1:00:14

buffers right everybody's got buffers

1:00:17

does that to keep Dave Smith

1:00:19

out? Shira

1:00:27

or Jelani previously said he

1:00:29

was motivated by the Palestinian cause

1:00:31

really To do what to

1:00:33

kill Syrian Christians. Is that what

1:00:35

motivated him? Uh,

1:00:40

however, since coming to power,

1:00:42

he has signaled a willingness to

1:00:45

crack down on Palestinian fighters.

1:00:47

Well, who's all that going? No

1:00:49

kidding. I mean, he's doing the

1:00:51

bidding of Israel. Isn't that something? And

1:00:53

he's Al -Qaeda. Huh. And he's -Qaeda.

1:00:55

But also from there. Oh. Oh,

1:00:57

we made that group. Oh, what?

1:01:00

Uh, ooh. That appears

1:01:02

to be partly in response to

1:01:04

a U .S. demand that Damascus

1:01:06

publicly ban all Palestinian armed and

1:01:08

political activities and deport members of

1:01:10

Palestinian armed groups. Yeah,

1:01:12

I'm sure it came from

1:01:14

the United States. On Tuesday, Shirah

1:01:16

or Jilani's government arrested two

1:01:19

senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials and

1:01:21

assigned that one U .S. official

1:01:23

told Mid -East Eye was intended

1:01:25

to demonstrate Damascus' capabilities. Syria's

1:01:28

new rulers Heaven anus. I'm

1:01:30

sorry heaven onus To show

1:01:32

they can address America and

1:01:34

Israeli security concerns while in

1:01:36

America. So they're all kids.

1:01:38

This was oh Israel's connected

1:01:40

to his own is so

1:01:42

it's so this was Israel's

1:01:44

got a deep in his

1:01:47

own Israel's got them. They're

1:01:49

grabbed him by his onus

1:01:51

So this was always an

1:01:53

Israel United States project Wait

1:01:55

a minute. So when those Israelis

1:01:57

were dancing on 9 -11, which I

1:01:59

thought was a cruel rumor hoax, but

1:02:02

was a real thing and People

1:02:04

and they got arrested if you recall

1:02:06

and I sent back to Israel

1:02:08

But they were actually prophets of the

1:02:10

future when we would all get

1:02:12

back together with Al Qaeda Wow, this

1:02:14

is a really uplifting story Jimmy

1:02:16

isn't it he got past his hate

1:02:18

and anti -semitism. He's got past his

1:02:20

hate anti -semitism It's almost like his

1:02:23

other fake name And now it's

1:02:25

almost like he's working for Israel the

1:02:27

whole time. It's almost like that. Oh,

1:02:29

man, I can't wait in F .P.

1:02:32

That's foreign policy magazine or the

1:02:34

week. Next time I'm flying in the

1:02:36

airport. Oh, I can't wait to

1:02:38

see how this guy gets boosted as

1:02:40

like. Remember when they liked what's

1:02:42

his name from Lebanon, not Gaddafi. They

1:02:45

rehab Libya for Libya or Libya,

1:02:47

like three months. They were rehabbing Gaddafi. He's

1:02:50

wacky. He's cool. But yeah, them

1:02:52

terrorism. Yeah, I do. So,

1:02:55

he just, by the way,

1:02:57

he just, Jelani, the president, the

1:02:59

al -Qaeda president of Syria, just

1:03:02

started using the

1:03:04

name al -Sharah. Oh,

1:03:07

interesting. In December of 2024, which

1:03:09

just a few months ago, you know

1:03:11

why? Because he wanted to

1:03:13

distance himself from his jihadist past

1:03:15

and bolster his legitimacy. So,

1:03:17

I'm not a terrorist anymore. I'm not

1:03:19

working with Israel and the United States, and

1:03:21

we're all friends. It's soft.

1:03:23

He's soft launching his new identity.

1:03:25

Yeah. It's like when BB Netanyahu

1:03:28

formerly Ben Milkowski of Philadelphia. That's

1:03:30

right. Soft launch his name to

1:03:32

gift from God. That's what Netanyahu

1:03:34

means. Yeah. What a gift that

1:03:36

keeps given. What a gift. Thank

1:03:38

you God. Thank you Yahoo of

1:03:40

the Shastu for sending us Ben

1:03:42

Milkowski. So

1:03:45

all the people who thought that

1:03:47

the Syria was an organic

1:03:49

uprising and they're fighting back against

1:03:51

Assad because he's a brutal

1:03:53

dictator. You are what they

1:03:55

call, in my old neighborhood, chumps.

1:03:58

You are a chump of the highest

1:04:00

Rachel Maddow fan. Absolutely. And you're... Sure

1:04:02

are the Rachel Maddow fans. No one

1:04:04

would bring it up. Look, probably people

1:04:06

you know, that even know anything about

1:04:08

Syria and you tell them Al Qaeda's

1:04:10

in charge of Syria and they go,

1:04:12

Oh, that doesn't sound good. And they

1:04:15

move right, the the right, right on

1:04:17

the only people that would think believe

1:04:19

any of this literally have to be

1:04:21

Rachel Maddow fans by process of elimination. Hey,
