So I just want to remind everybody that what they said, that nobody's above the law.
Nobody's above.
Watch this.
No one is above the law.
No one is above the law.
Nobody is above the law.
No one is above the law.
No one is above the law.
Nobody is above the law.
No one is above the law.
one is above the law.
No one is above the law.
Oh.
Well, guess what?
Even Joe Biden said nobody is above the law, and it got community noted because he just pardoned his son.
So I think he's also trying to pass a law to change Hunter's name to nobody.
Well, doesn't the act like the fact that president can pardon people, isn't that literally in the law that you can be above the law?
Well, there's, you know what?
In our next segment, we're going to tell you the problem with these pardons, with this pardon of Hunter.
There is a problem with it, but that's for our next segment.
But right now, I want to focus on how everybody said one thing and did the other.
By the way, Hunter isn't above the law.
He's being swept under it like a rug.
Okay.
But that's a typo, by the way.
Hunter isn't above the law.
He's so high that he's above the lawn.
Here's Harry Sisson.
Hey, Donald, nobody is above the law in the United States.
That was in July of 2022.
Then yesterday, he says, hey, President Biden has officially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.
His full statement is below.
I fully agree with this decision.
So apparently there are people who are above the law.
Yeah.
By the way, since no one's above the law, almost everyone in government's above the law.
That's right.
So Harry Sisson, the boy wonder, as in you wonder who's hired him to lie, says nobody's above the law when it comes to Trump, but a whole different story when it comes to Hunter Biden.
Whole different story.
Here's John Harwood boy.
His name should be John Hardon.
He says, people, listen to this.
You see this, Kurt?
He says, people who insist Biden will pardon Hunter after specifically ruling it out, meaning Joe Biden had ruled out pardoning him.
They are telling on themselves.
Right.
They can't imagine someone acting on principle and keeping his word.
No, certainly not Joe Biden.
John Biden will pardon me.
Breaking President Joe Biden just pardoned his son Hunter.
So who's telling on who?
And by the way, this guy, this is how lazy and arrogant he is.
He didn't even take this tweet down.
He made that in June of this year.
Yeah.
I bet there's a lot of people thanking him for his tweet right now and his consistency on Twitter, I bet.
He's on Blue Sky by now.
He's long, laughing all the way to Blue Sky.
Harry Sisson says, riddle me this, MAGA.
How is Biden weaponized the Justice Department if his own son is on trial and he's saying he will not pardon him if convicted?
Your whole argument kind of crumbles, doesn't it?
Embarrassing.
Well, look, he got community noted on that.
Yeah, they all thought Trump was going to not win.
So that's what this is.
I mean, if your father can't bend the Constitution of the United States to defend his own son, then I don't know a better act of treason than that.
Yeah, sorry if he's guilty being a great dad.
I'm not going to sit here while you impugn the man who lost another son and would do anything to save this one.
That's all I'm saying.
They have footage of me sonning.
Okay.
So here is Joe Biden insisting he's not going to pardon his son.
He's going to respect the jury.
Question regarding the family.
I'm extremely proud of my son, Hunter.
He has overcome an addiction.
He's one of the greatest, most decent men I know.
And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything.
I said I abide by the jury decision.
I will do that.
And I will not pardon him.
Yeah, but now Hunter is more of a gatherer, so I'm going to pardon him.
Here he is saying it again.
Here he is saying it again.
Ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is?
Yes.
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
So imagine if Trump did that.
That's what I can't help.
Again, you don't have to be a fan of Trump.
I haven't been a fan of Trump's, but I just can't stand the complete hypocrisy and the complete gaslighting, bullshitting of the illiberal class is what I call them.
They're not liberals.
They're illiberal.
And they're just blatant lying, this complete double standards, this demonization of they have to make Donald Trump worse than he is.
Because if they told the truth about him, people would be like, oh, yeah, he's that guy from the apprentice that we like.
Jimmy, what you're saying is so true, and that's why Rob Ryder had to check into the funny farm.
That's right.
I just love how this shit lives.
They got their marching orders to say there's nothing wrong with this.
Well, Hunter didn't even do anything wrong.
I mean, that's what's so weird, why we would have to pardon him.
Is he pardoning himself as well, too?
And they, they, yeah.
And they, so here's a KJP.
Was that what they call her, Career Curry?
Cringe.
Cringe.
Jean-Pierre.
And watch how many times she says that they're not going to So, first, we had everybody here saying that nobody's above the law.
Nobody's above the law.
But it turns out Hunter's new name is nobody.
We can insider trade legally.
Yes.
And then here we have blatant Joe Biden saying, I'm going to respect the jury.
Oh, I respect it.
He doesn't.
He's asked point blank.
Look at that face.
He's asked point blank, are you going to pardon you?
Are you going to ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is?
Yes.
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
Here's cringe Jen Pier Pierre.
Can her cousin pardon or commute his son if he's convicted?
So I've answered this question before.
It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and I said no.
Let me go back to the first question of the briefing.
I know you said not a lot's changed since yesterday, and that's a personal matter, but from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?
No.
Oh, you've also said seven times that the president would not pardon or commute the sentence for his son, Hunter.
I want to make sure that that is not going to change over the next six months.
The president's saying no.
It's still a no.
It's still an always be a no.
It's still a no.
It will be a no.
It is a no.
And I don't have anything else to add.
Will he pardon his son?
No.
So let's remember, again, these are the same people who want to get you kicked off social media for lying.
So the biggest liars are always, I mean, she's the biggest liar, right?
Is she not?
Joe Biden and her are now today the biggest liars in the world.
There's no bigger liar than them right now.
And the biggest liar is always the government.
Second, the corporate media because they're owned by the same people, the same people who own the government, the same people who fund Joe Biden and own him.
And Kamala Harris are the same people who own the media.
So the two biggest liars, government and the corporate media, and by then third and a distant third are Rando's on social media.
So don't ever let them lie to you.
You're only going to hear that lie in corporate media that we have to stop the misinformation on social media.
No, they're the biggest generators of it.
You know, if somebody says we land on the moon and they're misinformed, I don't give it.
That doesn't affect anything.
This affects everything, and it's all just acceptable.
And remember to hold this job.
So here's another one.
Will he pardon his son?
No.
Is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?
No.
It's still a no.
It will be a no.
It is a no.
And I was very clear and I said no.
Good evening, everyone.
I'm Lindsay Davis at ABC News headquarters here in New York.
We're coming on the air at this hour with breaking news.
President Biden has just pardoned his son Hunter on gun and tax charges that he was facing.
Noise.
Best guy I know.
And remember, for her to hold that job, she has to act permanently annoyed at every question.
She has to shake her angry hair.
Just imagine what her mom did to her.
That's all I'm saying.
She's still unpacking from that trip.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, if she stays in this job much longer, she's going to look like Lori Lightfoot.
All desiccated with her eyes bugging out, her hair all crazy.
And so I just wanted to let you know.
So there they are, just Joe Biden repeatedly lying, blatantly lying.
Imagine if Trump did that.
They'd be like, oh, my guy's a liar.
And if anybody thinks that the establishment, I have people say that I can't vote for Trump because he's a big liar.
Because that's what they're told on CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, that Trump's a big liar.
And all the other politicians are truth tellers.
If you think that the establishment turned on Donald Trump after giving him his own television show for 10 years and Emmy nominations and inviting him to play golf with the Clintons and everybody else, if you think that they turned on him because he went to Washington, D.C. and started lying because he's a politician who went to Washington, D.C. and started lying.
Well, guess what?
I've got a vaccine I'd like to sell you.
So I want to say I want to remind you who Joe Biden actually is.
This is Joe Biden.
This is his jumping.
This is when he first got into politics at 29 years old as a senator.
Ready?
Not sure you should assume I'm not corrupt, but you have to go to.
I'm going to start that again.
You shouldn't assume I'm not corrupt.
And boy, a lot of people do.
Not sure you should assume I'm not corrupt, but you have to go to those people who have money and they always want something.
You run the risk of deciding whether or not you're going to prostitute yourself to give the answer you know they want to hear in order to get funded to run for that office.
Yeah, but would you do that, though?
Would you prostitute yourself for money so you could buy yourself a seat in the government?
Would you?
If he wanted to, they wouldn't let him.
Here we go.
For that office.
I went to the big guys for the money.
I was ready to prostitute myself.
He was ready to prostitute.
He says it right out loud.
But guess what happened?
The manner in which I talk about it.
But what happened was they said, come back when you're 40, son.
So he didn't, on his first Senate race, he had to go out and raise money through small dollar donations because he wanted to prostitute himself.
He wanted to do whatever the donors wanted him to, but they wouldn't give him the money because they thought he was too young.
Well, guess what?
He's certainly not too young now.
Boy, Jimmy, that's got to be the only time the donors don't want to pay money for a prostitute who's too young.
Okay.
you Thank you.
And now he's a prostitute.
And, you know, I'm not saying he's playing bachelor parties.
Hey, here comes the policeman, ladies.
He's going to make an arrest.
He'd be a cardiac arrest.
Anyway.
So that's who Joe Biden, just so you know, why does he lie like that?
Why does cringe Jean Pierre lie like that?
Because that's their paid liars.
Joe Biden is a prostitute.
And he's telling you that right there.
But she hates that job.
You can see she hates the job.
Oh, she's just doing that job so she could get her own.
She could replace Jen Spocky.
Yeah, so she can replace inside Jane's.
Who's the other one?
The biggest liar, the Joy Ann Reid.
You know, she wants Joy, because they can't replace Joy Ann Reed.
They have to replace her with a woman of color.
And she's got it one up on Joanne Reid because she's gay and an immigrant.
She's got a two-line.
She's got it on.
Joy Ann Reed is actually enjoying her job of lying visibly.
I love what you do.
It shows.
Yes.
Whereas King Gene Paris Pierre is like, I could be lying in better things.
I shouldn't have to be talking to you.
I have to lie and say he's not demented.
I have to lie and say he's not going to pardon his kid when we all know he's going to.
And they're going to play these tapes.
I'm going to look like a prostitute.
That's the job.
That's the job.
Dancing with the stars, Tom.
I'm going to play you now nine minutes straight.
This is nine minutes straight, and I'm going to try and play it without stopping.
We'll see if I can do it.
This is nine minutes straight of your corporate news media, the news media that say there's too many lying on so too much misinformation on social media.
Oh, we got a kid.
Oh, people think that Twitter is the news.
They're not.
We're the news.
I'm going to show you nine minutes of them misinforming you and lying to you about the Hunter Biden pardon.
You ready?
Let's enjoy it.
Let's see if I can play it all the way through.
Presidential promise to put the law before a family.
The president promised.
I can't see.
I have to stop it immediately.
The president promised to put the law before his family.
Watch, here he does it.
Shaid, I abide by the jury decision.
I won't do that.
And I will not pardon him.
Letting the world know that he will not wipe away the decision of 12 of his son's peers was asked directly, and he has said he, that's exactly what he did.
Wouldn't pardon his son if he gets convicted.
Let's wait and see what happens if he loses.
Yeah, but I mean, but he said it.
He's going to get pardoned by his dad.
There's no question about that.
The president has ruled out pardoning his son.
Major commitment from the president, accepting the outcome of the trial and also pledging not to pardon his son.
So the challenge for him is really to continue to live up to his values when it was really personal.
And he did that today.
It seems like a pretty normal, straightforward answer, but it takes new weight when we see what Trump is saying about the outcome of his trial.
What we're hearing from other Republicans who say they don't accept the jury's verdict here in New York.
The contrast is profound to sit there and say, well, I'm not going to intervene in the legal process and I wouldn't pardon my son.
One side, Democrats and Joe Biden protecting the justice system.
And on the other, Republicans and Trump protecting Trump.
They're protecting the justice system.
Destroy the justice system.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
That makes me really, it's hard to watch.
That's that SE Cup.
She's a real, she's a real genius.
Current president of the United States has so much respect for the law that he has said he would not pardon.
So much respect.
I mean, what, you know, again, it's all about the contrast.
President Biden saying, I will respect whatever this jury decides versus Donald Trump after he was convicted on 34 counts, saying the entire system is rigged against him.
Their latest attack has been that Joe Biden has politicized and weaponized the DOJ, right?
That was the whole argument around Donald Trump's conviction.
And this week, of course, Hunter Biden was found guilty.
And Joe Biden has very clearly said he would not pardon his son.
He would not commute his sentence.
How stark is this difference?
I mean, how can Republicans keep making this argument now that now that Joe Biden has really put it out there?
Where's Hunter?
And he stood there in a courtroom, flanked by his family, and he's accepted his sentence.
He is not pardoning his son, which he could do.
These are federal charges.
He is not doing that.
He is not doing it because he is living what it means to have a rule of law in this country.
And it is, I mean, if you want to know if he believes it, you could actually see what is happening with his own son.
The president, Anderson, has been really clear that he is going to accept the outcome of the trial no matter what happens.
So Joe Biden's gotten asked about, you know, talking about law and order.
He's gotten asked if he would pardon his son.
He has said no.
On the other side, you've got Donald Trump who has said that he will pardon the January 6th insurrectionist.
They're not even his sons.
They're just sons of bitches.
Washington said, I am not running again because he understood the self-restraint was absolutely essential to this country.
So you don't have a king.
He did not pardon his son.
He did not order the Department of Justice to say, don't prosecute my son.
So impressive.
Could have ordered the Justice Department to halt the prosecution of Hunter Biden, according to this court.
Everyone understands he's a decent man.
I think Joe Biden has a chance here to stand up for the rule of law, to say the law is the law, no matter who it is, no matter if it's Trump or Biden.
And remember, part of Trumpism's dangerousness is that it tears down institutions, important institutions of our democracy.
So there is an opportunity here for Biden to say, you know, the jury found him guilty.
This is how it's supposed to work.
Period paragraph, end of story.
Have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
As I said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal.
You know, the president said he won't touch it.
He said he's not going to pardon his son.
And it seems that Merrick Garland let it go through.
How can the Justice Department be weaponized against Trump when all of that is happening?
But Democrats stand for the rule of law.
Remember, law and order.
You know, and we've been saying that Trump's not above the law.
Mr. Biden's not above the law.
No one is above the law.
And it is amazing to see the stark kind of.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how I could do nine minutes of this.
I'm going to take OP.
This is unbelievable.
This is unbelievable.
I'm actually like, Trump better not make nice to these people.
He better do the horrible revenge that they're afraid of because if he doesn't, nothing, there's no chance of anything.
I don't have faith in him like that, that he's some savior, but he could take down these people.
He would have that power, wouldn't he?
Don't touch it.
He said he's not going to pardon his son.
And it seems that Mayor Garland let it go through.
How can the Justice Department be weaponized against Trump when all of that is happening?
Democrats stand for the rule of law.
Remember, law and order.
And we've been saying that Trump's not above the law.
Hunter Biden's not above the law.
No one is above the law.
And it is amazing to see the stark contrast between how Democrats handled today and how Republicans handled this whole thing over the last couple of weeks.
For years, these conservatives have been crowing about a politicized Justice Department, Biden politicizing it and so on.
What happened today?
The Justice Department convicted the president's own son, his only living son.
You heard the president say he would accept the outcome of the case.
I know no other word for that, but presidential.
He even went so far as to say he wouldn't pardon his son.
That's how much respect he has for the system.
The president has said that he will not pardon his son.
What did you think of that?
I thought it was extraordinary.
I mean, it was a moment of moral clarity on the part of Joe Biden and couldn't have been in starker contrast.
Remarkable moral clarity to the way Donald Trump has handled his own conviction.
He could still pardon him.
He said he won't do that.
All of that conduct, given that it's his son, is kind of, you should pause for a moment and think about how unbelievable that is.
In a million years, if the shoe were on the other and Donald Trump was facing the prospect of his son being prosecuted by a Biden, me, if I had been held over, a Biden holdover or Obama holdover prosecutor, not in a million, million years would that have happened.
So, you know, some of the people on the right, the people who support Donald Trump, are trying to cast this as some clever ops program.
Yeah.
Country Biden was found guilty by a jury of his peers, just like Donald Trump, because this is our justice system at work.
The divide here is stunning.
And it's a great reminder that one political party remains committed to the rule of law and the other doesn't.
Joe Biden has already proven he's willing to stand up for the rule of law in a way that we could all never imagine Donald Trump to do.
Pretty emphatic over the last few days that he does not plan to pardon or commute his son.
What that really is him saying is I don't plan to use the powers of the office, the powers of the presidency, to provide private relief for my family.
In a sense, he's staking out a pretty bright line between being, as he says, a president and a dad.
And that's not just an emotional expression.
He's, in effect, saying, I don't think that I should.
I don't have a right, even if it's legal.
And God knows it must be tempting to use this power in a way that is not available to so many other Americans facing similar kinds of struggles.
There's a kind of old school, sort of flinty core to his conception of how you are to be in the system, how you are to be as a person, a moral person, and ultimately how to contend with questions of power.
One of the things that anybody who spends time around Joe Biden comes to know is that he's had this long-running focus on how much he is bothered by abuses of power to accept the verdict no matter what it is and that he has ruled out pardoning his own son.
Contrast that from what we hear from Donald Trump.
And again, we have to underline in no uncertain terms, President Biden saying, I will accept the outcome.
I will accept what the jury decides here.
That's the way our legal system works.
And no, I will not pardon my own son if he is convicted.
And the contrast is so clear in terms of decency and principle and transactional guidance in terms of how you view the world.
It is still a good day for the United States that this conviction is a prime example of the way our judicial system is supposed to work.
Even President Biden saying in a statement that he would respect the outcome of this case, those words so completely contrast with what his opponent, now a convicted felon himself, continues to say about the U.S. courts.
This is not like, does MSNBC have the reporters sound like they're doing a commercial?
Was this all the same day, by the way, this reporter?
Behaved, how Trump has treated the rule of law.
This was a good day for the system.
Good day for sort of America of sort of America as an example of how the rule of law should work.
President Biden told David Muir that he would absolutely accept the verdict, whatever it was, and that he would not pardon his son, regardless.
And today he said the same thing in a statement.
Meanwhile, you know, Donald Trump comes out and calls the justice system completely unfair.
What do you think of that contrast?
This the contrast of two different men.
Here is Joe Biden, who has lost a son who served honorably in the armed forces, who now has basically said, I will sacrifice my surviving son's future.
I will allow him to serve a prison term if that's what's determined, because that is what the rule of law demands.
President announces that he will not pardon his son.
Do you think ordinary Americans give enough thought to how this system is a miracle, a gift to this country, a gift to democracy?
Joe Biden, this was multiple priorities.
These charges in his case came about only after seven of my political.
So they cared about that.
No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's case can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out.
And because he is my, so he didn't.
He didn't trust the justice system.
He didn't trust the jury.
He didn't accept the jury.
He didn't trust the justice system, just like Trump said.
So isn't it weird that they're both saying the same thing, that the justice system is compromised?
And it's funny.
But Trump, Jimmy, but Trump.
So, Trump said that the cases against him were all political and they were ginned up.
And that's exactly what Joe.
And he is a creep for saying that.
But Joe Biden's not.
Trump is going to track our period so that we can't trans our kids.
Trump, Jimmy.
You're forgetting, I think, the most important thing here: Trump.
Trump.
Quite a contrast between Trumpism.
Boy, watching how they sold that, as it was like the greatest day in the history of America, that Joe Biden isn't going to pardon his son.
You know, because, by the way, a verdict, the verdict came in, but a sentencing hadn't happened.
So who gives a shit?
I'll bet if I'm got life in prison, he'd say fucking pardon, Trump or no Trump.
Well, he did say he didn't even get life in prison, and he said, pardon him.
He said, pardon him.
What a crock of shit.
Hunter was already convicted before Trump got back.
And you thought you were going to win.
So there's really, you can't even use Trump as an excuse.
I'll just never get over the disconnect between reality and what liberals say is the reality.
Well, on TV and then people that watch TV, it's called fucking MK Ultra.
It never stopped.
And we're looking at it every day.
Every single day we look at it.
Everybody's mystified.
How can they say this thing that's not true?
And everybody parrots the same phrase.
This is a great day for rule of law.
This is a day of institution.
They say the same hypnotic phrase all day.
The only reason I ever see these news channels is because I'm on here.
Or if I'm stuck in an airport and it's on.
And then when you notice that they're repeating the same phrases, none of that is news.
It's all like an opinion piece, like plug in Biden's next candidacy.
It's actually pretty hilarious now that I'm watching it.

So I just want to remind people about Syria.
So now that's when I started to become fond of Tosi Gabbard because she was the only person in government that would tell the truth about the Syrian war.
The Syrian war is we started it.
Who's we?
I mean, NATO and the economic hitmen in the West and Saudi Arabia and Israel.
So again, it's the same.
So it's happening again.
So as soon as they did a ceasefire with Lebanon, as soon as that happened, all of a sudden al-Qaeda and ISIS are attacking in Syria again.
Huh.
Isn't that a coinky dink?
What do you want to know about the sudden rebel gains in Syria's 13-year war and why it matters?
What?
Is this an ad for a protein drink or something?
Sudden rebel gains.
So this is exactly the same thing we did in Iraq, the exact same thing we did in Libya, the exact same thing we did in Yemen, Somalia.
This is the exact same thing.
20 years of Afghanistan.
This is it.
This is Western imperialism aligned with the Saudis and Israel.
And this is all about natural and Turkey.
This is all about natural resources.
That's what this is all about.
Oh, that's where, guess what?
Our great deal, the Taliban, we left all our stuff there and gave the money on top of that.
That's right.
They also trained terrorists for us there.
That's right.
Such as the ones going to Syria.
Such as the ones going to Syria.
So when we invaded Libya, we took the Libyan, the Libyan military.
We took their stuff and we gave it to ISIS and Al-Qaeda to go fight in Syria.
That's what we did.
That's what the United States did.
Be somebody, we said.
So if you want to know how, so Jeffrey Sachs said this on MSNBC somewhere around 2018, 19.
I'm not sure what the exact date is, but this is the only time you'll hear the truth ever spoken about Syria on national TV.
And I don't think he's been invited back since.
But here we go.
I think this was it.
This was him sealing his fate with MSNBC.
They don't like to hear this stuff.
So listen to what he said.
And we know they sent in the CIA to overthrow Assad, the CIA, and Saudi Arabia together in covert operations, tried to overthrow Assad.
It was a disaster.
Eventually, it brought in both ISIS as a splinter group to the jihadists that went in.
It also brought in Russia.
So we have been digging deeper and deeper and deeper.
What we should do now is get out and not continue to throw missiles, not have a confrontation with Russia.
Seven years has been a disaster under Obama, continuing under Trump.
This is what I would call the permanent state.
This is the CIA.
This is Pentagon wanting to keep Iran and Russia out of Syria, but no way to do that.
And so we have made a proxy war in Syria.
It's killed 500,000 people, displaced 10 million.
And I'll say predictably so, because I predicted it seven years ago that there was no way to do this and that it would make a complete chaos.
So what I would plead to President Trump is get out.
Like his instinct told him, by the way.
That was his instinct.
But then all the establishment, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Pentagon, everybody said, no, no, that's irresponsible.
But his instinct is right.
Get out.
We've done enough damage seven years.
And now we really risk a confrontation with Russia that is extraordinarily dangerous, reckless.
Professor Sachs is correct.
So now this is an admiral, right, from the military-industrial complex.
He's on the payroll, and he's going to try to sound that they're really experts when a good liar is an expert at sounding reasonable.
And watch, he's now going to talk about Syria and he's going to try to make it sound like he's serious.
he's reasonable.
Watch this.
This is a massive humanitarian disaster.
I think the numbers are actually 600,000 dead and 14 million displaced.
So I'm in complete agreement with him on the scale of this, but I would like to see the United States try and be part of the solution.
So that means keep out keep the United States trying to overthrow another government in the Middle East.
And the United States has to be part of the solution.
We're the ones who cause the problem.
So Jeffrey Sachs doesn't let this go by.
We're the virus.
I don't think it's attractive, but I think we have to understand how this happened.
This happened because of us.
These 600,000 are not just incidental.
We started a war to overthrow a regime.
It was covert.
It was timber sycamore.
People can look at the CIA operation together with Saudi Arabia.
Still shrouded in secrecy, which is part of the problem in our country.
A major war effort, shrouded in secrecy, never debated by Congress, never explained to the American people, signed by President Obama, never explained.
And this created chaos.
And so just throwing more missiles in right now is not a response.
Smile that consists of the same.
We need to go.
It's, by the way, not to walk away, to go to the UN Security Council, as the Admiral says, to agree with Russia on a strategy for ending the fight.
But ending the fight means that we stop trying to overthrow a government, that we stop trying to support rebels who are committed to overthrowing the government.
That is where this war continues, because we, to this day, back rebels that are trying to overthrow a government contrary to international law, contrary to the UN Charter, contrary to common sense, contrary to practical path.
We can't do it.
And it's just creating ongoing crisis to the extent of facing an imminent confrontation with Russia.
Now, you'll watch places like the Young Turks, and they're all on board for this war for Syria.
And anybody who told the truth about it, they smeared and slandered and said they were being paid by Assad or they were being paid by Putin.
That's what the young Turks, that's what Jenk Uger does.
And I said, that's what Eric Mate was.
That's what kicked off that whole thing.
That's what kicked off the whole thing, which said I would debunk what they were saying because they were calling Aaron Mate paid by Russia, paid by Assad.
And then I debunked that.
And so Anna Kasperian, to get me to shut up, threatened to blackmail me with a fake hashtag MeToo after she flashed her genitalia to the whole newsroom.
And I made a joke about it.
She then tried to do a fake sexual harassment thing.
Nobody believed it.
Even though it still ends up.
That's directly the plot of WICID.
Yeah.
Even though it ends up in my Wikipedia page, because the Wikipedia page is edited by the intelligence community, the same intelligence community that wants to do the Syrian war.
Wait, they put that on your Wikipedia that there was anything to that.
Yeah, yes.
Wow.
Because why is she careful about that?
Have you looked at my Wikipedia?
They still say I'm wrong about the Syrian war and the gas attacks, which, of course, I'm not.
The Syrian gas attacks are just as dumb as Russia Gate, and they're just as easy to debunk.
And we did.
We debunked them.
Well, remember the blonde lady in charge of that who said the truth gets in the way of getting things.
So that's what's going on.
And how did this all start?
Well, General Wesley Clark's going to tell you how this all they'd had this plan to invade Syria, to invade Libya, to invade Somalia, to invade the Sudan, to invade Iraq and Iran.
They've had this plan going back to at least 9-11, but before that.
And now they're doing it.
And so here's a general, General Wesley Clark, is going to tell you this right now.
About 10 days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz.
I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the joint staff who used to work for me.
And one of the generals called me and he said, sir, you got to come in.
You got to come in and talk to me a second.
I said, well, you're too busy.
He said, no, no, he says, we've made the decision.
We're going to war with Iraq.
This was on or about the 20th of September.
I said, we're going to war with Iraq.
Why?
He said, I don't know.
He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
So I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?
He said, no, no.
He says, there's nothing new that way.
They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
He said, I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments.
And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later.
And by that time, we were bombing in Afghanistan.
I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just, he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense's office today.
And he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
So they've had this plan for a long time, and they make it up.
Oh, we have to save the people from Muammar Gaddafi.
We have to save the people from Assad.
We have to save the people from the Taliban.
We have to save the people.
It's always something.
It's always something.
Is this the new world order they were yammering about before this plan was discovered?
You know, Russia had fallen, and now we're going to have a new world order.
That's right.
Knock over all these countries, the third world.
And so as soon as there was a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, they immediately, because Israel sponsors ISIS.
The United States sponsors Al-Qaeda.
They immediately made another push in this 13-year civil war.
It's not a civil war.
It's not a civil war.
It's a war of outside actors funded by the United States CIA to the tunes of billions of dollars.
And it's called Timber Sycamore.
You can look it up, just like he said.
And we're paying the salaries of Al-Qaeda in Syria to try to overthrow Assad.
Why?
For the natural resources.
Also, Saudi Arabia wants to put a pipeline through.
And Russia, which is aligned with Syria, doesn't want that pipeline to go through.
So it's Syria, Russia, and Iran are aligned.
And Saudi Arabia and the United States, Turkey, and Israel are aligned, trying to overthrow Assad.
Just like we overthrew Qaddafi, just like we overthrew Saddam Hussein, just like we overthrew the Taliban.
Now they're trying to do it here.
We're the ones, just like we tried to overthrow, now I'm blinking on the guy's name of Venezuela, Maduro, and Chavez.
Same thing.
Because there's oil there.
More oil in Venezuela than there is in Saudi Arabia.
And so this is the same old game.
But the news will never tell you that.
That's the only time Jeffrey Sachs on MSNBC, they ever told the truth about Syria.
So they have a new offensive, and they captured Aleppo, one of Syria's largest cities.
It was the, and by the way, so they were going to attack seven countries in five years.
And apparently, what's happened since, the first country they were going to start with was America.
If you don't know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I was just saying, did they George Soros Syria?
So it was the first opposition attack on Aleppo since 2016 when a brutal Russian air campaign retook the northwestern city.
So they're trying to weaken Russia.
So that's what this is.
So they're fighting Russia in Ukraine, and they're fighting, I want to fight Russia in Syria.
These are all proxy wars.
Intervention by Russia, Iran, and Iranian allied Hezbollah and other groups has allowed Assad to remain in power within the 70% of Syria under his control.
Remember that the United States still has an occupying force in one and 30% of Syria.
And what 30%?
The part that grows the wheat and the part that has the oil.
Insurgents led by the jihadi group Hayat Tahir al-Salam launched the two-pronged attack on Aleppo last week and moved into the countryside around Idlib and neighboring Hama province.
The Syrian military and its foreign allies have rushed reinforcements and launched airstrikes as they attempted to stall their momentum.
Robert Ford, the last serving U.S. ambassador to Syria, pointed to months of Israeli strikes on Syrian and Hezbollah targets in the area and to Israel's ceasefire with Hezbollah and Lebanon last week as factors providing Syria's rebels with the opportunity.
They're not Syria's rebels.
They're rebels that are funded by Turkey, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
They're not Syrian.
Russia, Assad's main international backer, is also preoccupied with this war in Ukraine.
The long war between Assad and his foreign backers and the array of opposition forces seeking his, this is such, this is such a garbage article, this AP article.
Assad is the guy with foreign backers, not the government.
The rightful president of Syria.
By the way, if you talk to Syrians, they like him.
Yes, they like him.
It's amazing.
It's almost like the gap in people that like Trump versus, I can't believe Trump and his Russian backers.
To them, they live there, so they like the guy.
I don't know why this is hard for people to understand that you wouldn't have a kindly idea about America if they were paying terrorists to blow you up.
And so around 7 million Syrians have fled the country since this started.
And a refugee flow that helped change the political map in Europe by refueling anti-immigrant far-right movements.
So, yeah, so when we did Libya, we had a bunch of refugees fled into Europe.
When we did Syria, a bunch of refugees fled.
When we did Iraq, a bunch of, that's what this is about.
And just the other day, Kier Starmer, the prime minister of the UK, said this was on purpose that they had open borders.
And now there are more people who are foreign-born immigrants in England than live there.
Then are natives.
It's a win-win.
Roughly 30% of the country not under Assad is controlled by a range of opposition forces and foreign troops.
You like the United States military asshole.
This is an AP fucking article.
The U.S. has about 900 troops in Northeast Syria far from Aleppo to guard against a resurgence by the, no, to get the oil.
We want the resurgence anytime.
That's right.
Whenever we need one, there's going to be a resurgence.
Both the U.S. and Israel conduct occasional strikes in Syria, you know, for kicks.
You know, there's no declaration of war on Syria, but the United States goes around bombing under the guise of the AUMF.
What's the AUMF?
It's called the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, which the Congress gave to George Bush to go fight the people who flew planes into the trade towers in 9-11.
So now they use that to do Afghanistan, Iraq.
They use that to do Libya, to do Syria.
That's what they're using then.
So Congress doesn't have to declare a war.
Turkey has forces in Syria as well.
Why?
Why does Turkey have forces in Syria?
And has influence with the broad alliance of opposition forces.
So has influence.
Yeah, because they're funding the terrorists who are terrorizing Syria.
They fund ISIS.
That's why.
That's right.
Influence with.
What is that?
Influence.
That's so vague.
Coming after years, coming After years, with few sizable changes in territory between Syria's warring parties, the fighting has the potential to be really quite consequential and potentially game-changing if Syrian government forces prove unable to hold their ground, said Charles Lister, a longtime Syrian analyst with the U.S.-based Middle East Institute.
He said that before pausing a moment to wipe a small stream of drool from the side of his mouth.
The Middle East Institute.
The Middle East Institute.
The U.S. and the U.N. have long designated the opposition force leading the attack in Aleppo, Hayat Tahir Al-Sham, known for its initial HTS as a terrorist organization.
They're terrorists.
Abu Mohammed El-Ghulani emerged as the leader of Al-Qaeda's Syria branch in 2011.
It was an unwelcome intervention to many of Syria's opposition who hoped to keep the fight amongst Assad's rule untainted by violent extremism.
Okay, this is all bullshit.
Wow.
This was all started by the CIA, and the CIA is funding Al-Qaeda and El Nusra and ISIS and Golania.
Oh, so there are terrorists that the Pentagon is directly funding and terrorists that the CIA are funding.
And often those two groups will fight each other in Syria.
Golani and his group early on claimed responsibility for deadly bombings, pledged to attack Western forces, confiscated property from religious minorities, and set religious police to enforce modest dress by women.
Those are the people that the United States wants to take over, the people doing that.
Golani and his HTS have sought to remake themselves in recent years, focusing on promoting civilian government in their territory as well as military action.
Researchers, okay.
His group broke ties with Al-Qaeda.
Sure, really?
Former Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria seeks to soften its brand.
Oh, like Azov.
They're going to soften its brand.
I hear, and by the way, the Washington Post, happy to help them soften their brand.
They should get that bear from the snuggle fabric softener commercials.
That snuggly bear.
So they're bigger.
They're trying to soften their brand.
You know, they're starting to sell LGBTQ merch, Kurt.
Did you hear about that?
Yeah, that's the way.
That's typically the way it's done.
Can you imagine if they overthrow Assad?
What a disaster that'll be.
That'll be a disaster.
Oh, Iran's bad.
That's from the last time we overthrew the something much worse.
Yes.
You think somebody better is going to take over if Assad goes down?
By 2018, the Trump administration acknowledged it was no longer directly targeting Ghulani, but HDS has allowed some wanted armed groups to continue to operate on its territory and shot at U.S. special forces at least as recently as 2022.
These are the people we're funding.
At the crossroads of trade routes and empires for thousands of years, Aleppo, with its bustling neighborhoods and ancient landmarks in the 2010s, saw some of the fiercest fighting in Syria's civil gas.
It's not a civil war.
Aleppo was home to 2.3 million people before the conflict.
Rebels seats the east side of the city in 2012, and it became the proudest symbol of the advance of armed opposition factions.
In 2016, government forces backed by Russian airstrikes laid siege to the city.
Russian shells, missiles, and crude barrel bombs.
Oh, not like the classy, sophisticated cluster bombs we give our allies to tear children to shreds in Yemen and elsewhere, but crude.
Wait, they leveled neighborhoods?
You mean like Gaza?
Yeah, they're crude.
Now that's wrong.
Crude, crude.
They should use crisis.
They used cave bombs?
They should use Chris, right?
Okay.
And methodically level neighborhoods, very much like Israel just did.
Yeah.
Starving and under siege, rebels surrendered Aleppo that year.
The Russian military's entry was the turning point in the war, allowing Assad to stay in the territory he held.
Oh, that's why we hate them so much.
That's why this year, Israeli airstrikes in Aleppo have hit Hezbollah weapons depots and Syrian forces, among other targets.
According to Independent Monitoring Group, Israel rarely acknowledges strikes at Aleppo.
And right, you know why?
Because it's illegal.
International, it's an international war crime.
My friend Ashfin Rattanzi says, reminder, the so-called moderate rebels rampaging across Syria are U.S.-backed jihadists.
As are most jihadists.
As are most of the jihadists.
Syrian opposition group that killed a child was a U.S.-vetted alliance.
Oh, do you say?
Remember when Obama insisted that the United States was supporting moderate Syrian rebels and Jake Sullivan told Hillary Clinton that al-Qaeda is on our side in Syria?
Amid the renewed extremist field violence in Syria, it's time to take a look at the Obama-Biden legacy in the region.
Here we go.
All of this had been in the works for quite a while, and I do believe that Obama knew that, even as he went to Cairo in the first year that he was in office back in 2009, and he called for a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
He knew that the world had just endured eight years of the Bush administration and his so-called war on terror.
Obama was presenting himself as an alternative, saying, here is a new beginning, right?
I am going to be different.
But he meant none of that.
And even as he went on to target the exact same regions of the world that George W. Bush had just targeted, he did it all with Joe Biden, who had already spent a lifetime in Washington by his side.
In August of 2011, Obama announced sanctions against the entire Syrian government and called for Assad to step down.
And in December of 2011, Biden was joining Obama in their new slogan, Assad must go.
But Assad didn't go.
And it did not matter what the U.S. threw at him, from mass protests to media propaganda to claims of chemical attacks carried out by the government to mass sanctions targeting the country.
Assad stayed in power.
He's still in power to this day.
And that is EVIT as the CIA launched Operation Timber Sycamore.
One of the problems with being told blindly to cheer on the Syrian revolution is that the key participants aren't even Syrian, as I've been telling you.
Uyghur-led Turkestan Islamic Party advertising its involvement in the insurgent offensive, participating in the battles extended from Sarkib and Ilt-Idlib countryside to Morek in North Hamak countryside.
So this is Turkey soldiers.
So those are Uyghurs, the oppressed Uyghurs.
Turkish fascist gray wolves are in Aleppo.
There they are.
Turkish ultra-nationalist gray wolves in Aleppo.
They are tied to the far-right MHP party, known for their extreme pan-Turkish ambitions.
Hadi says, so far I've seen videos from Aleppo of terrorists speaking Albanian, Uzbek, Turkish, Urdu, Uyghur, Uyghur, Chechen.
Don't you dare compare these NATO mercenaries to the native resistance of Palestine.
So this is not a civil war in Syria.
It's hilarious that this is an argument made by He says it's hilarious that this is an argument made by proponents of a government that is on life support and only survives due to the combined efforts of Lebanese, Iranian, Iraqi, and Afghan militias and the Russian government.
He's talking about the Syrian government.
And Aaron says, to apologists for the dirty war in Syria, meaning that it's being funded by the CIA, for the dirty war in Syria, it's perfectly legitimate for the CIA, Israel, Gulf monarchies, UK, France, Germany, and Turkey to spend tens of billions of dollars arming one of the most powerful insurgencies in history, one dominated by Al-Qaeda, and one including thousands of fighters who aren't even Syrian.
It's also legitimate for the United States to occupy oil and wheat-rich regions of Syria and impose crippling sanctions that deliberately prevent reconstruction of Syria and further devastate the country's civilian population.
So he's saying that this guy is for this.
Without this foreign state support, Al-Qaeda, without Russia and Iran supporting Syria, Al-Qaeda in Syria, now known as HTS, wouldn't have captured Idlib.
I mean, without this foreign state support, meaning Israel, Saudi Arabia, Germany, the United States, Turkey, without them backing Al-Qaeda in Syria, they wouldn't have captured Idlib and wouldn't have been able to launch its current offensive.
According to this same crowd, the Syrian government has no right to request the help of its allies to prevent al-Qaeda-led foreign state-backed regime change.
One would call this position hilarious if it weren't so tragic.
For this dickhead, it's at least consistent.
He works for a place called Newsline Mag, an organization that collaborates with the Pentagon, with the NED, which is the CIA, and State Department.
For a journalist covering U.S. foreign policy, that's hilarious.
And just to Syrian army recaptures towns in Hama countryside as counteroffensive gains momentum.
So good for the Syrian army.
So I just wanted to give you that, let you know.
There you go.
We're doing it again.
The United States are the world's terrorists.
We're in bed with, we are funding literal terrorists that our own State Department have declared terrorists.
Al-Qaeda, the people who did 9-11, we're working with them.
We're the evil empire.
It's not Russia.
It's not Syria.
It's not Iran.
It's not Iraq.
It's not Libya.
It's not Afghanistan.
It's the United States.
We're the evil empire.
It's not the people of America don't want this.
It's the people who run America, which is the military industrial complex in Wall Street.
And of course, those same people have complete control of our media.
Go ahead, what?
They do the same thing here.
They brought in all these foreign military-age men to maybe have a civil, they'll call it civil war.
And it would be a bunch of people from other countries that we blew up here fighting America.
It's the same playbook everywhere.
They were talking about Putin playbook.
They do the same thing in every part of the world, including this part of the world.
Okay, so now you know what's going on in Syria once again.
And my Wikipedia page, which is edited by the FBI, the CIA, and MI6, is going to say, I'm a conspiracy theorist for telling you the truth, while they are the ones who are spreading conspiracies, just like RussiaGate, just like the Ukraine war, just like COVID, and now this.
Nobody believes Wikipedia no more.
I also.
That's the cook.
One of the guys who founded Wikipedia said that the intelligence community has control of Wikipedia.
I didn't make that up.
Before I even knew that, I knew Wikipedia was no good because mine was all screwed up.
At one point, I was inviting people to change it to try to make it.
Yeah, but they just change it back.
No, a lot of wrong stuff is still on my Wikipedia, and it's a long process.
Yeah, me too.
You can't get it fixed.
There is no process to get it fixed.
You can't.
I probably can't now because I know you.
