Trump DISMANTLES U.S. NeoCon Foreign Policy With Peace & Tolerance!!

When President Trump declared from the stage of an opulent ballroom in Saudi Arabia that the United States was done nation-building and intervening, that the world’s superpower would no longer be “giving you lectures on how to live,” his audience erupted in applause. Supporters at home also applauded as Trump effectively denounced decades of neoconservative American policy in the Middle East. “In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” Mr. Trump said on Tuesday, during a sweeping address at an investment conference in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. “And the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.” Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even frequent Trump critic Arnaud Bertrand applauded Trump’s turn away from imperialist interventionism. Plus segments on the shocking revelations coming out of the Diddy trial, Trump lavishing praise on the ex-Jihadi now leading Syria, and Trump’s peace efforts regarding Iran as well as the India-Pakistan conflict. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Establishment media sets of augmented fighting.
So good luck.
Bullshit.
We can't afford.
Life fomenting this.
Watch and see as the jet golf.
The medium speeds and jumps the medium.
And hits them head on.
It's the Chimitor Show.
Chimitor Show.
So Trump's on a Worldwind Mideast tour, right?
Okay.
And he gave this speech.
And our friend Arnod Bertrand, who gives also often gives good insight into what's happening in the world, he says that I rarely praise Trump, but this is a genuinely incredible speech.
Okay, but do you condemn Hamas?
That's my question.
So here's the speech.
The transformations have been unbelievably remarkable.
Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos, where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence.
We don't want that.
Peace.
He wants peace.
I'm pretty sure that guy right there.
I'm pretty sure that guy right there is the guy who had that Washington reporter chopped up into little pieces.
Yeah, that's MSB, MBS.
MSB.
Yeah.
Now, that guy, I was told by someone was a, he worked for Turkey.
He was Intel.
And I'm not sure about this, but I think his dad is Adnan Khashoggi, isn't he?
The orange dealer?
See something shady about that guy.
Oh, okay.
I don't know what, but that's what they're doing.
Man, it's crucial for the wider world to note this great transformation has not come from Western intervention, nois, or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs.
No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation builders, neocons, or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabal, Baghdad, so many other cities.
Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East is...
Is it a Kabul?
It's Kabul.
He said Kabal.
Anyway, been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way.
It's really incredible what you've done.
In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves.
They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves.
Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
But do you condemn Hamas?
Seriously.
So here's what Arnard Arnaud.
Arnaud, is that how you pronounce it?
Arnaud Bertrand said.
He said, I've been arguing for close to a decade that the single biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and the rest was the West's inability to accept diversity, the genuine kind, not fake Ursats of it sold to you under liberalism.
Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems, etc.
Incredible and kind of disturbing that Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and to criticize the West's missionary zeal to remake others in its image.
Remember, they want, you remember, I think it was Sam Harris who said, you know what, let's make Iraq look like Nebraska.
Wouldn't that be good?
Remember, he said something like that?
Yeah, he's great.
He's always been great.
He's always been great.
So, and yes, absolutely.
Trump seems to reject the notion that universal values like human rights or democratic governance should be shared across civilizations.
But I happen to completely agree with this myself.
Thank you.
Yeah, well, we don't want a one-world.
This is about the new world order.
Trump is repudiating the new world order.
That's all that this means.
Yes.
It is disturbing that he's, because I love what he said.
But it's disturbing to me a thing that's so obviously true.
This is a big deal that it was said.
It should have been said a long time ago when they started this crap.
So, I mean, I guess you got to be happy for the little things.
I don't know.
So, Arno says the rejection is what I consider true diversity.
Each civilization has a right to different models, cultures, and values.
I'm perfectly comfortable with the fact that China, Saudi Arabia, and France have fundamentally different understandings of human rights, each making sense within their own historical and cultural contexts.
By the way, what is basic human, the phrase basic human rights?
I've always had a problem with that.
Basic human rights.
Is that like at a car sale?
Human rights come with manual steering.
Unless you're wealthy, then you get power steering.
Yeah, I like advanced human rights.
Advanced.
While I believe some basic principles may be universal, like mass killings are bad.
Universalism as an ideology has historically done far more harm than good.
Like, you know how they get upset at the, oh, remember when they wanted to do the war with Iran?
They would, the CIA would make a protest.
They would foment a protest, instigate one in Iran about a woman taking her hijab off, right?
They put a mask on, though.
Yeah, and I know.
And so, hey, that's their culture, right?
You know, I grew up Catholic.
The nuns also wear a headdress.
They call it a habit, I think.
So, universalism as an idea has done far more harm.
Universalism functions as a form of absolutism, as an only those values are rightful.
And as we all know from Star Wars, only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Or put it another way, the most destructive episodes in modern history began with the certainty that one civilization's truths should become everyone else's reality.
Yep.
I never watched Star Wars, so I don't know what a Sith is.
But I remember hearing them say that the Western civilization is superior.
Yes, that's the whole Sam Harris-Bill Maher thing.
Yeah, and all the things that they don't like about Western civilization came from Western civilization.
They didn't come from the Arabs.
All in all, whilst Trump can be, I like that when somebody used whilst.
All in all, whilst Trump can be criticized for many things, and I do so myself all the time, his recognition with this speech that different civilization models can coexist without one imposing itself on others is actually a profound and immensely necessary step towards genuine peace, regardless of who articulates it.
I'm with you on that, Arnault.
Arnaud Bertram.
100%.
And again, it's it, you know, again, yeah, sure.
Trump, like all politicians, has many flaws and you can criticize him all day long.
But he's doing things that other politicians have not done.
By the way, he's pushing peace instead of war.
And he seems to be, I mean, in most instances, he's pushing peace instead of war, right?
In most instances.
Ukraine, Pakistan, India.
He just made peace with Yemen.
Syria, he tried to pull the troops out and the generals undermined him.
What?
Check it out.
Check it out.
I didn't even say anything.
Oh, I said Syria.
And then my iPhone thought, I said Siri.
Perhaps a consequence of the failed campaign against the Houthis.
That's what Senecat says.
This is perhaps a consequence of the failed campaign against the Houthis.
Come to think of it, the fact that they even tried that campaign tells us that a month ago, he didn't think like this.
Arno says true.
Well, before that, he did because he talked like that, then went back on it.
Yeah, he did think like that, and then he went back on it, and now he's going back to his original position.
I want to believe he's sick of Israel.
I'd like to believe it.
I'd like to believe it.
We'll see what happens.
Hey, remember when Barack Obama said you shouldn't.
So it looks like Trump's over there doing.
So according to Arnaud, Trump's over there doing peacey stuff that we should have done a long time ago to help countries get to.
Remember what Barack Obama said?
Why you should not vote for Trump?
If you are a service member and you're somewhat conservative and you're used to voting Republican, I can understand it, but somebody who genuinely does not believe in duty and honor and does not understand why anybody would sacrifice themselves on behalf of their country.
Why would you do that?
Well, because it sounds like Trump has always been less of an interventionist than all the other warmongering neocon presidents.
Maybe that's why if you're a service member, you would vote for Trump because he seems to, remember he tried to pull them out of Syria.
Remember that?
He said he'd want to end the war in Ukraine, which he's trying to do.
He just, according to him, negotiated a peace deal with India-Pakistan and avoided a nuclear confrontation.
He's now trying them Abraham Accords trying to bring peace between in the Middle East.
That's why.
It's pretty vile what Obama just said because what he's going is, Trump doesn't understand human sacrifice.
That's right.
So here he says, well, now here it comes.
If you're a Muslim.
If you're a Muslim.
American.
And you're upset about what's happening in the Middle East, why would you put your...
90% of the people he killed with the drone bombs were innocent.
He killed an American citizen with a drone bomb.
No one I say that to really cares.
They blank it out.
Joe Rogan is the last guy I told it to who repeats it.
Everybody else is like, oh, yeah, it's bad.
I've already moved on, though.
From what?
From the killing 90% innocent citizens.
Oh, yes.
With the drone.
We're already on to the next war.
If you're a Muslim American and you're upset about Barack Obama fomenting a dirty war in Syria to overthrow Assad, you mean like that?
You mean if you're a Muslim American and you're upset that Barack Obama bombed the shit out of Libya, turned it from the most successful country in Africa to a failed state.
He poisoned their water with nuclear, with depleted uranium-tip bombs, and now there's slave markets there.
You mean like you'd vote.
So does that guy telling you you shouldn't vote for someone else if you're a Muslim American?
Isn't that amazing?
Well, he's saying it Muslim to Muslim as a guy who's not from America.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I'm going to, you know, I'm going to let you know when Trump is doing bad, his H-1B visa stuff, his just destroying all the savings from Doge and giving it directly to the warmongers with his increased Pentagon budget.
I'm going to let you know.
And when he's doing something good, and Arno Bertrand is on, I'm on the side too.
Feels like you should keep track of which ones are the good things and which are the bad things.
It seems like just basic.
It's a very basic thing that everybody would do that shouldn't be unique at all.
Yeah, I'm not on Team Trump.
I'm on Team America.
And if he's what's that?
Well, that's racist.
I know.

Big news from Diddy Trial.
Now, this might gross you out.
So if this grosses you out, I apologize in advance, but it's some nitty-gritty, dirty Diddy details about, you know, it turns out Diddy's got his own little ghislain fetish, if you know what I'm talking about.
So here, this guy has it.
He has it, though.
Let's let's, you ready?
I'm telling you, buckle up.
I don't know if I'm ready.
I'm telling you, buckle up.
Here it comes.
All right, so Cassie Ventura just finished testifying in the Diddy case.
And what I'm about to tell you guys is going to be graphic.
So if you have a problem with that, go ahead and swipe.
Even this guy's warning you.
Even a guy like that thinks, hey, this might be a little too much.
A guy who's got tattoos.
He's a prisoner, an ex-convict.
Yeah, he's got more tattoos than an M13 guy, but he's.
Yeah, yeah.
He went to Florida to prison.
So this is a lot.
So here it is.
Any defendant's worst nightmare.
She showed up to testify against him.
Very pregnant.
The jury is going to be very sympathetic, especially since they've watched multiple times, both yesterday and today, the video of Diddy beating her in that hotel.
One thing that we learned from Cassie is that Diddy would demand that Cassie let men finish on her and then go in the other room with him and wipe it on him.
Specifically, he wanted dudes nut on his nipples.
She made it very clear throughout the entirety of her testimony that she was not comfortable with the things that she was being coerced by.
Has Diddy never heard of proper skincare?
I mean, you guys are getting, people are getting freaked out.
I think he's just trying to get collagen from people who haven't been to college yet.
That's all that is.
Okay, hey God.
Is that really worse than Sandra Bullock getting Korean baby foreskin facials?
I mean, her skin looks great.
Don't get me wrong.
Oh, you can't argue with success.
Diddy to do?
He would use threats and brutal acts of violence against her to force her to do what he wanted her to.
Diddy was quoted as often saying that he was a king and that everyone around him needed to treat him like a king.
While it's impossible to know what's going on in the mind of the 12 jurors in this case, I do think it's fair to say with everything that I've seen come out so far, it is not looking good for Sean Diddy Combs.
Y'all think he's cooked or what?
Let me know down in the comments.
Yeah.
What's that?
Say it again.
What is he being charged with?
Yeah, they're charging him with like trafficking and stuff, but that doesn't, that just makes him out to be a creep.
So I think I have a feeling he's not going to be convicted.
Yeah, me too.
I have a feeling, you know, because you always hear people, especially conspiracy type people, like, oh, that's a humiliation ritual.
I had to do a humility.
This is a humiliation ritual, not John Cena being naked at the Moscow.
So he's got a great body.
He's humiliating.
You mean this court case is a humiliation ritual?
Yeah, he went against Diageo because, you know, his Sirock Vodka.
And Diageo, by the way, was cheating him.
His tequila is coming out.
He sent people to see if they planted the agave for it, and they had not.
And so he sued them because they're like, oh, you're treating me like some black guy.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
And so Diageo, they're not Italian.
It's a British company that took that name on purpose to sound Italian.
They go, okay, well, we'll show you a thing or two.
And because all the things coming out, I'm not hearing real implications of the other people in power that Jonathan Odi, ODDI, he brought up Hillary Clinton, Ben Misles, this big-time producer.
What's his dumb name?
He's got red hair.
Those names I heard in 2018 from Jonathan Odi, and I haven't heard them in this yet.
All I'm hearing is Diddy has a pee-pee-poo-poo fetish.
Yeah.
That's not a crime.
I'm sorry to tell everybody.
And he has a gym.
So this seems like it's bullshit so far.
So it does.
So here's from Fox News Diddy trial.
Cassie Ventura's five most explosive claims against rapper.
Sean Diddy Comb's ex-girlfriend testifies against disgraced music mogul in federal trial for sex crimes.
Yeah, here we go.
Sean Diddy Comb's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, took the stand, no relation to Jesse Ventura, took the stand Tuesday to testify against the former bad boy of music in his federal trial for sex crimes.
The model, who was pregnant with her third child with husband Alex Fine, was the only witness prosecutors called to the stand during the second day of proceedings at the courthouse in Manhattan.
Throughout nearly eight hours of questioning, Ventura recalled harrowing experiences from her 12-year relationship with the I'll Be Missing You singer, many of which she said occurred under the pressure of Diddy's sexual gratification.
Hey, it's like an Almond Joy commercial.
Sometimes you feel like a nut.
Anyway, wait, so he, Jonathan Odi said in his interview when he was being interrogated, Diddy is transporting liquid cocaine.
Rick Ross, the other chick, Miami something her name is.
Liquid cocaine is a holy grail of cokeheads.
You know that?
Like Bob Evans, that's the famous thing he got busted for, the producer from the It Stays in the Picture.
Remember that?
Yeah.
He got, yeah.
So he's on Liquid Coke, probably MDMA too.
Do you know how depraved that makes you?
To just be like the finest coke.
It makes you Dick Cheney level evil.
So I'm just saying she's pregnant and she's testifying.
I would recommend child protective services here, but they're probably worse than the parties.
But anyway, here we go.
That's right back to the party.
Yeah, the freak offs.
Ventura testified to using drugs, including ketamine and cocaine, as a way to disassociate during the freak offs.
That's what ketamine does.
It's like the sunken place from get out.
For me, it was disassociative.
I couldn't imagine doing that without some sort of buffer.
She told the U.S. attorney Emily Johnson.
I needed to remain high to stay present with the experience.
Okay.
Well, they give it to soldiers with PTSD.
So that's what they should use it for.
Ventura claimed Diddy liked to use baby oil during the freak off parties and requested to watch her use the oil in other set on other sexual partners involved.
While on the stand, she recalled one instance where there was a blow-up pool that they had filled with oil.
She explained she got it.
She got in because you couldn't say no.
Ventura was concerned about Diddy's temper if she didn't get in.
The singer-songwriter told the prosecutor, a blow-up pool?
What kind of cheap garbage is that?
He should have an Olympic pool filled with oil.
It's Diddy.
A blow-up pool?
Yeah.
Well, that baby oil, what his ex-bodyguard was saying was they were probably putting GHB in that baby oil.
Oh.
So his ex-wife who died, she got a massage and all of a sudden she had like pneumonia or something.
She might have got an overdose of GHB from somebody giving a massage.
GHP, well, it's that drug that was originally invented as a sleep aid.
Right.
If you abuse it, it'll kill you, like any drug.
You can't abuse it.
Ventura testified that the supplies for the freak offs, baby oil, astroglide, lubricants, and condoms, were provided by Diddy's assistant or security.
All participants in the freak offs used baby oil, according to Ventura.
She claimed it was always heated per Diddy's request.
Baby oil was used, so they were glistening.
Oh, you greasy, dirty.
You know, who likes baby oil like that?
That's like a, it just seems like a big mess.
I guess you got people to clean it.
She said Diddy had them apply the oil every five minutes.
I mean, in fairness, this is all pretty standard stuff you'd find at any basic freak off how-to guide.
Am I right?
What is he, a snail or a beached whale or something?
I'm sure.
Here's the twist, Kurt.
They used baby oil made from real babies.
That's the difference.
If he felt you were too dry, he would let you know.
You'd need to be shining.
Diddy would direct the freak offs, but Ventura knew what to do.
Wow.
She testified it was a very choreographed experience.
Kind of like a Bob Fosse thing.
In March 25th, 2024, Combs' home in Los Angeles and Miami were raided in connection with a federal human trafficking investigation.
Officials confirmed during the search, authorities allegedly seized various freak off supplies, including narcotics and more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
Wow.
That reminds me of the soul glow from coming to America.
Remember the guy who was sitting on his hair would leave an oil spot on the back of the couch?
I do not remember that.
Soul glue.
You don't remember that?
No, I don't remember.
I don't think I saw that.
Members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, including high-ranking supervisors, security staff, household staff, personal assistants, and other Combs business employees, facilitated the freak offs by, among other things, booking hotel rooms for the freak offs, stocking the hotel rooms in advance with the required freak off supplies, including controlled substances, baby oil, lubricant, extra linens, and lighting.
Lighting.
Yeah.
You want to catch every moment of peeing on someone.
Wow.
Surprised that one of these one of the charges, it's not somebody slipping on the oil and getting a concussion.
That sounds like he needed surgeons.
I am surprised at that.
You'd think there'd be more freak off injuries.
Yeah.
Freak offs were elaborate produced sex performances that Combs Arrange directed, masturbated during and often electronically recorded.
That's according to the indictment.
Where is it?
Combs and, yeah, right?
Combs and his staff allegedly transported commercial sex workers.
Commercial?
I don't know.
That's what Jonathan Odi was.
They're reporting he was a sex slave, but I don't think he was literally a slave.
I think he was hired to play, you know?
Yeah.
They transported commercial sex workers across state lines.
Oh, you can't go across state lines.
We know that from the Kenosha thing.
Kyle Rittenhouse.
You can't go across state lines.
That's a big.
If you cross state lines doing something, that's big.
By the way, that state line thing was instituted because a black guy was dating a white woman or that boxer.
That's why they invented that.
That's why they invented state law.
Of course.
Crossing state lines with, you know, sex indecent across state lines.
That's the only reason that law exists.
According to the thing, the freak off parties occurred sometimes.
They lasted multiple days, often including multiple sex workers.
Ventura testified that the sessions would sometimes last days at a time.
I love that term, commercial sex workers.
Which commercial?
Arby's?
Was it an Arby's commercial?
The freak offs became a job.
There was no space for anything else but to recover, she said on the stand.
The musician was in her early 20s when she began a romantic relationship with Diddy after meeting him in 2006.
In addition to the interest in voyeurism, Diddy also allegedly introduced Ventura to swinging, the act of switching partners with another couple.
Ventura testified she was shocked and didn't know how to react to Combs' fantasy.
At this point, Diddy had allegedly been violent with Ventura.
She said she was afraid of upsetting him and really nervous.
Authorities allege Diddy ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises, and Combs Global, among others.
He used firearms, threats of violence, coercion, and verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse to fulfill his sexual desires.
According to prosecutors, he had maintained his innocence.
But he has maintained his innocence.
If found guilty, he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum of life in prison.
I predict he's going to get off.
By the way, in prison, you have to improvise as far as the lubricants go.
If you know what I'm talking about.
So there you go.
Our prediction here at the show is that he will not be convicted.
Because it doesn't seem like real.
Dude, the Harvey Weinstein thing I thought was odd at the time, but I'm like, I guess he's a bad guy.
But a lot of stuff that Kanis Owens said in her thing now was stuff I knew back then.
You know, like his penis fell off.
So a lot of stuff seemed odd about it to me at the time.
Same thing with the Cosby thing.
I was like, wait, what are we going to convict him in the public court and not the real court?
And they had to let him out.
Like, these things are like show trials.
They don't do like real justice ever.
Donald Trump, on his World Wind tour of the Middle East, took time to praise the leader of Syria.
Remember who the leader of Syria is?
What's his name again?
It changes.
He changes his name.
It used to be Jalani when he was a terrorist.
But now, since they overthrew Assad with the help of the United States, working with ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
That's nice.
It's a real mitzvah.
So now the head of Syria is an Al-Qaeda guy who you used to have a $10 million bounty on his head.
Who?
The CIA?
Here's what Trump has to say about him.
How did you find the Syrian president?
Great.
I think we're a good.
Young, attractive guy, tough guy.
You know, strong pass.
A strong pass fighter.
But he's got a real shot at pulling it together.
Based.
That's what that is.
Based.
Is he talking about a UFC match there?
Because that's what it sounded like to me.
He's young, hungry.
He's hungry.
He's smart.
He's got a strong past.
His past is strong.
Al-Qaeda strong, in fact.
Nice.
At least thank him for his service, Trump.
He's a vet.
I like what this guy says.
When your foreign policy sounds like you're casting the next Marvel villain, young, attractive, tough guy, strong past.
What's next?
Trump calling him a real winner with great hair and tremendous vibes?
I thought that was pretty funny.
I bet he wouldn't be cool and do Coke with Macron.
He doesn't seem that cool.
Yeah.
So it sounds like, you know, when Trump's flattering a leader about even how attractive he is, Trump's trying to work some kind of a deal.
So they call him, this is his new last name.
His real name is Jalalani, which is a terrorist name, or his name when he was a terrorist.
And so now he's going by Shira.
Shira once fought with Al-Qaeda in Iraq after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
He once.
He later led the Syrian branch of the terror organization that carried out the 9-11 attacks.
Yeah, Al-Qaeda.
I've heard of Al-Qaeda.
Or do they mean the CIA?
I'm sorry.
Do they mean the CIA, the Mossad, or Al-Qaeda?
Or all three?
Or Pakistani ISI?
Is that the terror organization, the Mossad, CIA, and Al-Qaeda?
Before he broke away from that group in 2016 to form what became Hyatt Tahira Al-Sham or HTS, the group that ousted Assad.
It's the new name for Al-Qaeda because now they're in control, so they can't be called Al-Qaeda anymore because they're the ones we all think did 9-11.
So we can't be in business with Al-Qaeda.
We have to call them HTS.
That's off the top.
It's just a rebranding.
It's a brand in decline.
It's kind of like when they got Dylan Mulvaney for Bud Light.
I mean, a better idea.
That's right.
That is exactly.
I mean, Donald Trump supports America True and Blue because, as we all know, Al-Qaeda was created by the United States.
Yeah.
Thank you, Morning Micah's dad.
So by the way, his last name is not Shira Rabra.
It's Jilalani.
He changed it, and the entire media is now going along with it for some reason.
Why did he change his name anyway?
Did he convert to Islam?
I kid.
I kid.
Oh, it's like a Muhammad Ali thing.
Trump praised him.
His name now is Ahmad Al-Shara, not Jalalani, in a dramatic turnaround for a former Al-Qaeda member.
He's not former.
I love him.
He's the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria.
He now happens to be the president of Syria because we overthrew Assad and installed him.
Beginnings.
America previously had a $10 million bounty on his head because he was the leader of Al-Qaeda.
In their meeting, Trump urged Jalalani, now called El Shira, to normalize relations with Israel.
Isn't it funny that Al-Qaeda and ISIS never attack Israel?
It was already normalized.
And did you know that Israel Gives medical care to wounded ISIS fighters.
Did you know that?
Well, they're the most moral army in the world, Jimmy.
That's right.
That's wild.
So are you starting to catch on a little?
We've always been working with Al-Qaeda.
We invented Al-Qaeda.
Hillary Clinton admitted that.
You know what this is, Jimmy?
It's like when WWE came out and said, look, these are real athletes, but it's scripted the outcomes.
Yes, that's what this is.
People liked it anyway.
Yeah.
That's your government.
Yeah.
They're letting you know the KFAB, and now you can get in on the behind the scenes of it like it's a movie or something.
And guess what?
Guess what?
Now the new leader, that guy, that terrorist Al-Qaeda guy, he's inviting American companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas.
You're kidding.
Noise.
Noise.
Hey, well, that ends well.
That's what I say, Jimmy.
You're kidding.
I mean, when you put it like that, he does sound pretty cool.
Sounds awesome.
Handsome guy, strong past, strong past.
And then Trump actually congratulated him for being worth 10 mil.
He's like, that's a pretty good put a 10 million bounty on your head.
They don't do that for just anybody.
He's got a strong past.
Good looking fella.
Lawrence, Larry, boy, I like what he does.
I was wondering how you shortened Lawrence.
It's Larry.
Did you know that?
Thanks.
I go James Jimmy.
That's what I do.
Ahmad Hussein Al-Shara, aka Abu Mohammed Al-Jilani, 42 years old, joined Al-Qaeda in 2003 around when the U.S. invaded Iraq.
The U.S. released him from prison in 2011 just in time to form El Nusra to fight Assad.
Now Trump refers to Al-Shara as a young, attractive guy with a very strong past.
Oh, so he was one of our agents the entire time.
The entire time.
So the entire time he was one of our operatives.
The entire time.
He's not a real Al-Qaeda.
A guy we put in.
Amazing.
So Hassan I. Hassan says, boy, that guy, also a relative of Chris Christie and Zig Ziglar, Hassan I Hassan, says everything about Syrian president and his story is mind-boggling.
Take this, for example.
Exactly 20 years ago today, he was captured by the Americans in Iraq and jailed.
Today, he met and impressed the U.S. president in Riyadh.
His life reads like a ready-made Hollywood script.
Yeah.
There he is standing there in Riyadh with Trump and the MBS.
There he is meeting him.
He's got a nice suit on.
He doesn't wear the jihad terrorist garbage.
He cleans up real good, Jimmy.
Yeah.
Aaron Matei puts, Al-Qaeda is on our side, coming soon to a theater near you.
Ooh.
Yep.
It sounds like he's going to be in a Marvel movie, doesn't it?
It does.
Aaron Matei says, Trump jails foreign students for writing op-eds and attending protests while praising the former leader of ISIS and Al-Qaeda as a young, attractive guy with a very strong past.
Let that sink in.
So now you know what.
Do you get what the game is in Syria, what it always was in Syria, what the game with Al-Qaeda and ISIS is and always was?
I hope so.
Let's see.
That's slide eight.
Trump says he's a young, attractive guy with a very strong.
Come on, Trump.
Jelani's, he's a seven tops.
Yeah.
Tops.
A Yemeni seven.
And then he went on to order, Trump went on to order the end to Syria sanctions.
And now you're giving them olives.
So this is all about, this is all about the Benjamins, all about oil and gas.
Here he says.
And also with President Erdogan of Turkey, who called me the other day and asked for a very similar thing, among others, and friends of mine, people that I have a lot of respect for in the Middle East.
I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness.
As soon as we got rid of Assad, and after we got done completely smashing their people and their economy, and we installed an ISIS-A-Qaeda leader, now I'm going to take off those sanctions.
Tynically cleanse all the Christians and all the whites out of the country.
Yeah, by the way, that guy, he's praising slaughtering Christians.
Slaughtering Christians.
No one's talking about it.
No one's talking about it.
Well, guess who else does that, Jimmy?
We did for 20 years in Iraq.
We slaughtered all the Chaldean Christians with writing Bible verses on the book.
Remember those psychos from that mercenary outfit were writing John 316 on their bullets?
No, I don't remember that.
Yeah, that's what that, you know, what's it called?
It's the famous Blackwater.
Eric Prince, that was the big news story.
They're all religious, putting Bible verses on the.
So let's listen to what more.
has a little more to say.
*applause*
So this is about ending the sanctions on Syria.
Oh, look, he gets a standing O. Standing O for ending sanctions on Syria.
What they're really saying is thanks for helping us overthrow Syria.
So now we can put a pipeline through there.
That competes with Russia.
Oh, what I do for the crown prince.
Ah, but wouldn't it be nice if he said, oh, what I do for the American people?
Wouldn't that be nice?
I'd like to hear that.
Anyway, so there it is.
He's ending the sanctions.
So now there's going to be a pipeline going through Syria that competes with Russia.
That's a prediction.
I'm not good at predictions, but it's definitely about oil and gas.
It was always about the Greater Israel Project, and it was always about overthrowing Assad.
So it was all about oil and gas.
Always.
Well, once all the dirty work's done, then you just got to get rid of the people that everybody associates with that, and we can have a fresh start.
There you go.
So that Assad goes.
I think Netanyahu, they're pushing him out is how that this looks to me.
And then now we get a fresh start.
Hey, he's out now.
Yeah.
You know, you have a nice limited hangout of.
Yep.
Yeah.
So it says here, Trump offered a rhetorical olive branch.
Well, of course it was a rhetorical olive branch.
Do you really feel like a need to put that in there?
I thought he gave him a real olive branch.
Oh, I thought he hacked off a branch from an olive tree and brought it with him.
Hey, where's my olive branch?
Oh, it's figurative.
Oh, it's just you're just doing it with your words.
I guess that's okay.
So Trump offered an olive branch to Iran and said the United States wants to be a wonderful, safe, great country.
It wants it to be, Iran, to be a wonderful, safe, great country.
If its leaders choose to forswear, really?
That's the word he used?
To forswear their longtime pursuit of nuclear weapons.
This was the latest.
If I was Iran, I would not stop trying to get into.
Look what happened to Libya.
Look what happened to Iraq.
Look what happens to the countries without Syria.
Look what happens to the countries that don't have nuclear weapons.
Look what happens to the countries that do, North Korea.
They didn't do it, though.
I think they were just working on those missiles that we don't have.
Yeah, they have hypersonic.
Yeah, they have hypersonic missiles that we don't have.
Iran has.
Did you know that?
So that's a good move on their part to come up with weapons you can actually use.
Apparently, we're supposed to have weapons that can bend space-time, but we just don't use them, I guess.
Well, how can you?
First of all, after nukes come out, that's like the weapon that like any weapon worse than that, you don't want anybody to know you have it because then you could never use it.
If I have an earthquake thing, I don't want people to know I have that because every earthquake, you're going to blame me.
So that's why they keep those very secret.
And I bet you it's not that easy.
Just unleash it whenever you want.
So Trump goes on.
He said, this is the latest in a series of signals meant to de-escalate decades, or do you say decades, of tensions, I say tensions, between Washington and Tehran.
Or do you say, T-Ran, by reaching a new nuclear non-proliferation agreement eight years after Trump threw out the one that was reached under Obama?
So here's the problem.
So Obama did get a good nuclear deal with Iran, right?
Meaning that they'll let them develop nuclear energy, but make sure they're not using it for a nuclear bomb.
Trump threw it out because he was talking tough.
This is a crap deal, throws it out.
Well, now basically he wants to get the same deal, but he has to make it seem different.
So he can't say, yeah, I'm just doing the thing I threw out.
So that's the problem.
Ask is, are those contracts with France going to be back in it?
Because that was what got screwed up the most.
They were getting uranium and stuff.
Remember, France is kind of screwed because Burkina Fai or Nigeria?
Yes.
So they picked them out.
Yeah, so that screwed France big time.
So I don't know if that has something to do with it, but I'm curious to know if they're getting what they were supposed to get now.
So Trump said he had not come to Riyadh to condemn the past chaos of Iran's leaders and instead offered Tehran a new path and much better path toward a path like no one's ever seen.
Everybody's excited about this path.
It's the phenomenal path.
It's a phenomenal path and more hopeful future.
He said he was always willing.
He's always been willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even with those with whom he has profound differences, such as Iran's leaders.
This is all the fluff talk for us to read.
The main thing is he goes, I'm mad at Bibi.
Do you want to make a deal?
That's what I have to hope is the thing.
I have never believed in having permanent enemies.
I am different than a lot of people think.
I don't like permanent enemies, but sometimes you need enemies to do the job, and you have to do it right, said Trump, who pointed to America's history of forging alliances with former adversaries.
He told the audience that he would like to do the same with Iran, provided that the Iranian government chooses to cease causing chaos in the region.
I want to make a deal with Iran.
If I can make a deal with Iran, I'll be very happy if we're going to make your region and the world a safer place.
But if Iran's leadership rejects this rhetorical olive branch, it's rhetorical, it's not a real one, and continues to attack their neighbors, then we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure and drive Iranian.
That's all talk.
Because Trump has been advised, I will guarantee you the last thing you want is a war with Iran because it will not end good for you.
You will be hated as much as they hate Dick Cheney.
Don't do it.
But he's going to talk talk.
He's going to talk tough, but he really wants a deal.
Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
But with that said, Iran can have a much brighter future.
The choice is theirs to make.
We really want them to be a successful country.
We want them to be a wonderful, safe, great country, but they cannot have a nuke.
The president's offer of relaxation of tensions with Tehran comes on the heels of multiple meetings between American and Iranian negotiators with an eye to an agreement that would take Iran off the path to achieving nuclear.
So he's doing this right in Benjamin Netanyahu's face.
So that's the thing that's important to keep in mind here.
Trump is like, screw you.
I'm negotiating with Yemen.
Screw you.
I'm negotiating directly with Hamas.
Screw you.
I'm directly negotiating with Iran.
Screw you.
I'm directly negotiating with Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
And I'm even getting the, so that's what that's what this is.
He's like, it seems to me, and I hope I'm right, but I could be wrong, as Dave Smith likes to say.
I could be wrong.
We'll see.
When Trump first came to the presidency in 2017, there was just such an agreement in place.
Hey, are you going to SkankFest before I forget to ask you?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm probably going.
I know.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, so I got the offer.
I got the offer to go.
Good.
I'm glad it worked out.
Thank you.
When Trump first came to the presidency in 2017, there was just such an agreement in place.
So we don't need to go through this.
The agreement they had in place was the Iran nuclear deal.
It was negotiated between Tehran, the five permanent UN Security Council members, Germany and the European Union, provided for the lifting of sanctions and posed as a result of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons in exchange for strict limitations on Iranian nuclear research and power capabilities and inspections of nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
I'd like to get a job there.
How do you get a job there?
The agreement, which followed years of painstaking talks, was part of an effort by the Obama administration to open dialogue with the longtime U.S. antagonist.
Iran was once one of America's closest allies in the Middle East with a pro-Western and largely secular government under the Pahlavi dynasty.
Is that are they talking about what is the Pahlavi?
Is that where the Shah?
Shah Pahlavi isn't.
Is that the Shah?
Okay.
It's not Mozadik.
But Washington and Tehran, or do you say Tehran have not had former diplomatic relations since April 1980 when the U.S. cut ties and imposed an economic embargo in the wake of the 79th seizure?
So that was when they had overthrew our puppet government, the Shah of Iran.
Trump, remember, they had a westernized government.
They had democracy in Iran, and then the United States overthrew it, installed a puppet, the Shah Viran, who was an oppressive dictator.
And then the people got sick of it.
They overthrew him and installed, what normally happens?
They installed a super, well, they had Tyatolla Khomeini.
Well, they formed a coalition with his people and the communists and the other ones, and then his people killed all the other people once they got it.
Trump entered office opposed to the deal because it was negotiated in part by his predecessor Obama.
And with further prodding by Israel and Saudi leaders, he eventually pulled the U.S. out of the agreement.
Now, eight years on from his decision to withdraw from the thing and impose a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against Te Ran, his administration is pushing for a new deal that would, in principle, reinstate much of what was in place under Obama.
So there you go.
The details.
What do you mean much?
What are the parks that are not in place and why?
That's the thing that you should be having in this.
Yes, I'm with you.
So that's good.
Trump is doing peace in India-Pakistan.
Trump is doing peace in Yemen.
Trump is doing peace with Iran.
Trump is negotiating directly with Hamas.
Trump is talking directly with Saudi Arabia.
And he's leaving Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel out of this.
That's the good news.
So again, don't care what his motives are at all.
If you make war stop, I don't care if your motives were good or not.
The war stopped.
And he's working hard towards a peace deal in Ukraine.
So this is the opposite of Joe Biden and the neocons.
It's much better than them.
Still not good enough because like I said, this is supposed to be day one, but I can't say it's not way better than the last guy and the guy before him.
Donald Trump taking credit for stopping a nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
Here we go.
And they have.
And they did it for a lot of reasons, but trade is a big one.
We're going to do a lot of trade with Pakistan.
We're going to do a lot of trade with India.
We're negotiating with India right now.
So he's saying that he used the leverage of trade to get them to stop trying to kill each other in India and Pakistan.
He soon negotiated with Pakistan.
And we stopped the nuclear conflict.
I think it could have been a bad nuclear war.
Millions of people could have been killed.
What about a good nuclear war?
Anyway.
So I'm very proud of that.
I also want to thank Vietnam.
So he's very proud of that, Kurt.
In fact, he was.
Well, take a bell.
Next, he's going to take credit for Diddy and Ventura getting back together, am I right?
Come on.
Oh, God.
So here he is.
He takes credit for it again.
It looks like he looks like he's on a plane, right?
He's at his desk on the Air Force One.
Potential nuclear war.
And two countries, they have very good leaders, people I know very well.
And yeah, it was a very important process.
We got involved with India and Pakistan.
You got involved early.
Can you give us a little insight what happened behind the scenes?
How we able.
Well, I did like what was happening.
And you hear, you know, they're two very strongly nuclear countries, very, very powerful amount of nuclear, too.
Serious stuff.
And if that ever started, boy, that's the beginning of something that could be really bad.
Even a minimal, minimal, you could have millions of people killed.
And with one shot, two shots.
And I just thought it was something we could get involved in.
And I did a good job.
Marco did a good job.
And JD did a good job.
We sort of were a team.
And we, I think, convinced him to let's have peace and let's go and make trade deals.
If we can make trade deals, we like that much better than nuclear weapons.
And that was.
So there he's going to say it again.
Just days ago, my administration successfully brokered a historic ceasefire to stop the escalating violence between India and Pakistan.
And I used trade to a large extent to do it.
I said, fellas, come on, let's make a deal.
Let's do some trading.
Let's not trade nuclear missiles.
Let's trade the things that you make so beautifully.
And they both have very powerful leaders, very strong leaders, good leaders, smart leaders.
And phenomenal.
It all stopped.
Hopefully it'll remain that way, but it all stopped.
I was very proud of Marco Rubio and all of the people that worked so hard.
Marco, what a great job you did on that.
Thank you, J.D. Vince.
Come on.
Marco.
The whole group worked with you, but it was a great, great job.
And I think they're actually getting along.
Maybe we can even get them together a little bit, Marco, where they go out and have a nice dinner together.
Wouldn't that be nice?
But we've come a long way.
They're going to have a nice dinner.
I guess Trump is Jewish.
What is he?
Come on.
Give a nice dinner?
Eat something.
Come on, eat something.
That's Italian.
Oh, that's Italian.
That's right.
Eat something.
So there's one little problem with this.
The Indian government on Tuesday disputed President Trump's claim that the U.S.-mediated ceasefire between India and Pakistan came about in part because he had offered possible trade concessions.
Addressing a weekly news conference, Randur Jazwal, the spokesperson for the India's foreign ministry, said top leaders in New Delhi and Washington were in touch last week following the Indian military's intense standoff with Pakistan, but that there was no conversation on trade.
What did Modi say?
That's who counts.
Right.
Did Modi say it?
But the people in India are pissed off about Trump taking credit for this.
Why?
They think that Modi's being a bitch to him.
Like he's being a subservient lapdog.
Oh, that's why they're doing that.
To save face.
That's why that guy's doing that.
I think so.
Dr. Trump once again takes credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade.
Modi is yet to take Donald Trump's name and refute this claim.
That's what I said.
Why is he not replying to Trump?
Because it's real.
Shut up.
Here's another one.
India has become a laughing stock in the world.
Thank you, Modi.
If it's any consolation, there was a good deal of laughter before this.
India should get into the laughing stock market because there's a.
I'm not kidding.
Watch this.
It's a clear case of overstepping.
It is not the job of the president of the United States to make a claim when we haven't even agreed that this is a matter which requires his intervention.
With the greatest of respect to the American president, he has no idea about the ground situation.
He has no idea about what's happening here.
Till a few days back, he said that this is not for him to look into.
And now he's congratulating both countries trying to be a global peacemaker.
And I think this is beyond him.
I strongly object to the fact that the U.S. president is saying that he has sorted out the conversation between two countries.
I think President Trump does not understand the importance of difference between back channel talks or informal diplomacy or clandestine diplomacy or overt diplomacy.
Somebody should think aboutreach at a time when he does not have a mandate to do so.
And I think it becomes incumbent right now for the government to start the press conference, which we were promised at 5.30.
If this was a calibrated announcement, which I do not know anything about, then really we will hear, we will go.
Republic will go by what our prime minister says.
Republic will go by what the foreign secretary of India says and what the Indian forces says.
It is wrong for Donald Trump to go out and make an announcement, but this is typical.
And the fact that he's on the right.
And the fact, oh, no, he's saying that overnight negotiations, while we had the worst of fighting between the two sides.
Where are the negotiations overnight?
Where are the negotiations overnight?
Who has mandated him to have those negotiations overnight?
Last night, we were pummeling them back after they tried to send their drones.
Last night, there were people in Firozpur who were, you know, who were injured.
Last night, there were 36 places where they tried to do incursions, and we have hit them back.
And a ceasefire is not a phone call.
It is not like one of those things that happened on WhatsApp.
I mean, Donald Trump should get real about the situation.
I will completely go by what my government says.
And Trump has failed for the five months with Russia and Ukraine.
That's not the point.
He has announced four times.
Trump is too eager.
Trump is jumping the gun.
And I do not believe that this can be the kind of announcement that can be taken seriously as an announcement.
And that's why I came on air to say this, that informally announced you take a role for yourself.
And two days back.
Americans seem to be heavily invested because Secretary Marco Rubio is now posting saying over the last 48 hours, Vice President Van said, I have to buy this.
I don't buy this.
And we will finish this.
Let us not forget here with the greatest of respect that the United States of America was the country which threatened to send the seventh fleet in 13 days.
And therefore, we are an independent country.
And he's trying to equalize this.
How on earth can Trump equalize between what has happened in Palgam and what has happened thereafter?
Clear overstretch.
I'm sorry I'm going to have to go.
You can take this forward, but we are going to be on conversation with our channels in the government.
Absolutely.
So obviously, Trump doesn't understand the importance of having a nuclear war.
Yeah.
He goes, he doesn't understand the difference between back channel and front channel.
So that means he did make a deal.
Modi must, because as soon as I go, well, Modi's the guy that says if it's going to be a thing, they did it back channel and Trump just blurted it out.
So that's what he's mad about, the lack of decorum of preventing the nuclear war.
Yes.
How could they just say that he's doing this?
How can we he's making it look like India and Pakistan are equal?
That's what they're upset about.
By the way, I don't believe this thing that Britain, when they drew these shitty borders, didn't know what they were doing.
Right.
Oh, they didn't care.
So they did a bad job.
No, they did exactly what they wanted to do to maintain this bullshit forever.
They do it on purpose.
That's not an accident.
They go to schools to learn how to do this.
It goes back to ancient Rome.
This is called divide and conquer.
So that's why they drew those borders so shitty.
So this would happen.
And it's kind of like, you know, giving carving up Palestine and giving a state to just inventing one with the Balfour Declaration.
It's kind of like that.
They outsourced their Arab colony.
They wanted to colonize the Arabs.
They outsourced it to the Zionists through Deral Child.
That's what that letter is.
And by the way, the Balfour Declaration, they're not living up to that.
If you read what it's in that, they are way overboard and not at all like what's in that declaration, which is not a legally binding agreement of any kind.
If it were, it'd be a lot less awful what's going on there.
