After Friday's scandal, I guess you'd call it, where Trump and J.D. Vance got rightly frustrated where Trump and J.D. Vance got rightly frustrated with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
There have been viral stories about the UK and France and other countries now saying they will commit peacekeepers being deployed into Ukraine.
They want the U.S. to be involved as well.
Now, all these stories are all certainly framing it like, as of right now, the UK said we are prepared to deploy troops.
The story actually is.
Should there be a peace agreement that ends all hostilities, European nations, and they will call upon the US to do the same, want to immediately deploy troops into Ukraine.
That is to say, ain't no way.
Y'all are going to get a peace agreement if you're going to Vladimir Putin, calling him evil, and then saying the moment you turn your back, NATO is in Ukraine.
So while the story certainly is worrying, many people view it as declarations of war.
Well, not quite.
They're basically saying, Putin, agree to the terms so that we can take Ukraine by force after the fact.
They're not so much saying they're going to commit troops before then, but I'm not so sure we get a peace agreement with Vladimir Putin and Zelensky in the way that maybe Europeans and Democrats would want.
For those that missed it, quite possibly one of the biggest stories of our generation, a live negotiation during war with the president of a nation at war who has offered us up nothing, by the way.
Yo, these videos are crazy.
Now, we talked a bit about it on Friday, of course, but over the weekend, this has certainly bubbled up.
And where things get really interesting is Democrats and liberals and progressives chanting war.
I want to give a shout out to our good friends Hassan Piker and Kyle Kalinske.
Stooges of the military-industrial complex.
If you ever wondered how you could determine who is right and who is wrong, look no further than, I don't know, like...
I have a moral framework behind why I believe the things that I do, largely involving the rights of individuals to lead their own lives and decentralized power structures, which ultimately brings us to I care about America.
I don't like that our borders are exposed.
I want to see the working class succeed.
And I don't see why we, the United States, should be taking money from working class people to fund the wars overseas for these other countries.
That includes Israel.
I don't care if it's Israel.
I don't care if it's China.
I don't care if it's Taiwan.
Whatever the issue may be, I do not see, nor have we been given a legitimate reason, why we should allow our borders to be porous and dysfunctional and at the same time be dumping hundreds of billions of dollars overseas.
Now, as much as I can say, me personally, I don't want to be funding these foreign wars and these incursions.
Why are we even in Syria?
All of these questions.
You take a look at your good liberal friends who like to sit there and go, you know, we don't like the military-industrial complex.
Bush was bad and Israel shouldn't get funding, but Ukraine should.
Can I just point out to you guys?
Ukraine has received more money in the past three years than we have given to Israel in 50. Or is it 70 now?
70 years?
Now, I'm not sitting here to defend Israel or any other country, but oh boy, do people really lose their minds over Israel.
And that's why I say they have Israel derangement syndrome.
If you're sitting there and you're not talking about Ukraine stealing all of our money, their president coming to this nation, getting members of our Congress to wave their flags, and now you have prominent liberal personalities defending Zelensky, arguing that we should be funding them.
And I'm like, who are these people?
Who are these Americans?
Who are these Ukrainians?
None of it adds up.
What world do they live in?
That they are siding with an arrogant, smug man who, for the love of all this holy, couldn't put on a suit to save his life.
Now, I am somewhat reluctant to criticize the man for not wearing a suit.
I also don't like to wear suits.
But that being said, first time I went to the White House for the social media summit, I intentionally did not wear a suit.
That's kind of the point.
Right?
This was a social media thing.
However, I did go to Mar-a-Lago and I did dress up as they requested it.
And so I can certainly show the respect if it is requested of me.
I'm not actually that concerned about the man not wearing a suit, but it is a big story.
The reason why the suit story is big is not because Donald Trump called him out for it.
A reporter, I believe it was a reporter that did, but that Zelensky did wear a suit to go and speak at the World Economic Forum, which had a lot of people saying, hey, hold on there a gosh darn minute.
Now, for me, I've only worn a suit three times in my life.
Seriously.
When I went to court once, because I had, what did I have, a speeding ticket?
And my dad was like, you gotta wear a suit.
And so he gave me one of his suits, and it was oversized.
The second time was when I went to Mar-a-Lago and got to meet the president for the first time.
And the third time was my wedding, when I got married.
I'm not a big suit-wearing guy, but I can certainly understand.
Why and when you want to have consistency?
Like, for the love of all that's holy, could you imagine if I was like, I'll wear a suit for the president, but not my wife?
Yeah, yeah, right.
Now, when I went to Mar-a-Lago, I still wore the hat.
When I got married, I didn't.
You see?
My wife gets more respect.
That being said, this has led to a big controversy and concerns over what this is going to lead to.
Right now, the Republicans are trying to the best of their abilities, and this is actually surprising to me.
Even Lindsey Graham has chimed in against Zelensky.
We want peace.
And this scandal that erupted on Friday, oh man, it was wild.
It is still international news that on live TV, the Ukrainian president argued over and over again, smugly and arrogantly, interrupting the president and vice president while saying, give me money.
And you know, it's funny.
The narrative is that Trump was ready to do it.
Trump was going to give the guy the money.
He's going to say, OK, fine, but we want mineral rights.
And then Zelensky started insulting.
J.D. Vance, smugly and arrogantly speaking over Trump, and then Trump just went off.
No!
And then they end up leaving.
Zelensky did apologize for this.
But we're going to break down, largely, what I see as proof of the hypocrisy of the liberals in this country, Democrat voters and Democrats.
They claim that they're the party against war, or that they oppose the military-industrial complex.
But you know what?
Nancy Pelosi, whoever believed she actually opposed war, right?
She comes out and she...
She puts out word vomit, and we don't care.
Mitch McConnell.
These neocons, neolibs, like anybody believed them.
Now, what's funny is, you've got these progressives, and they're sitting there on their live streams being like, yes, we oppose the military-industrial complex.
And then the military-industrial complex walks up and goes, Ukraine?
And they go, woo!
And they start cheering and screaming for it.
It's just remarkable to see the progressive left, has aligned themselves with the military-industrial complex.
We knew it was the case, but this shows not, in my opinion, that they were always stooges, but more so they are a cult.
If they are told to hate Trump, they will cheer for a foreign country they can't find on a map.
And the point I made was this.
Democrats are licking the ass of Vladimir Zelensky, president of Ukraine, and they can't even point to Ukraine on a map.
Republicans are saying...
F-Ukraine!
And to be fair, they also can't point to Ukraine on a map.
But at the very least, they're coming out and saying, yeah, exactly.
I don't know where it is.
I don't care where it is.
And I don't want to know where it is.
Democrats, on the other hand, are screaming, let's go Slavukrainee.
And then they're like, I think, I don't know, it's somewhere in Europe.
It's in Russia or something.
They don't know where it is.
Fine.
A lot of the personalities, they know exactly where it is.
I can pull up the battle map.
They've looked at it.
But the average liberal that is cheering for this?
They have no idea what they're cheering for.
They are simply in their mind saying, I hate Donald Trump, therefore I will side with a foreign nation?
You're going to love this one.
I called Ukraine an enemy of these United States.
An enemy.
And I'll tell you why.
When this video went viral, and of course these liberals don't tell you the truth about what I said was.
Germany had filed charges against a Ukrainian for bombing the Nord Stream pipeline, pushing the U.S. and tangling us in potentially World War III. Now, I want to break this down for you.
I mean, we should really get into the news.
I'm ranting a little bit, but this is important.
You got a buddy, and you say to that buddy, hey, man, look, you're a hothead, okay?
We don't want to be involved in your bar fights, okay?
But we're not going to let anybody push you around.
How about that?
Along comes Vladimir, and he shoves your buddy, and you're like, hey man, knock it off, because I'm not going to let you get into a fight with this guy.
You want to fight?
We're all going to get into a fight.
And then a fight breaks out.
And you know, and everybody's screaming.
And then it turns out, your homie, the guy you said you were going to help, went behind the scenes, started setting fires, and then making the fight worse.
And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a minute, hold on a minute.
Yo, I'm not trying to get into a fight with dude and all of his friends.
OK, we're supposed to be breaking up the fight.
Ukraine goes behind our back and bombs a gas pipeline.
That's the charges from Germany.
That's pulling us, entangling us in a larger scale war with Russia.
In my view, the moments those charges were laid, both figuratively and literally.
The U.S. should have suspended all aid to Ukraine.
Germany said it was the Ukrainians who bombed the Nord Stream pipeline.
It's a gas pipeline that goes to Germany.
The moment that happened, the U.S. should have been like, we out.
We don't want to be involved in war with Russia, do we?
We don't want World War III, do we?
We don't want Russia invading from Kaliningrad to Poland or Lithuania.
No.
So the moment Ukraine bombed a Russian gas pipeline where they were selling gas to Germany, the U.S. should have said, we are now faced with a very serious conflict of interest where Ukraine is attacking resources of Germany.
And Germany filed these charges.
This is a dramatic escalation of war that's going to rope all of NATO into the conflict.
And in fact, it was initially argued that Russia bombed their own pipeline, effectively a false flag, which almost or perhaps could have triggered Article 5 and dragged us into World War III. That is Ukraine lying to us, cheating us, and trying to force us into the war in a way that could be devastating for all Americans and the world because they are scumbags.
Zelensky is a dictator scumbag.
I don't care.
I don't care if the Democrats want to complain about it.
The dude won't hold elections.
They make the argument the Constitution says they can't have elections during martial law.
Yeah, well, who declares martial law?
So they're supposed to vote on it every 90 days or whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Zelensky is asked.
He could call for elections if he wanted to.
Okay, anyway, I digress.
How about we read the news?
And I'll tell you what's going on here as these countries are calling for troops to be deployed.
Before we get started, buy cast brew coffee.
It's so delicious.
You will say to yourself, I don't understand why I haven't bought cast brew coffee before.
Check out Appalachian Nights.
That is the longtime bestseller, but Ian's Graphene Dream quickly taken over, unfortunately sold out for the next couple of days.
Rise with Roberto Jr., our original bestseller.
It's a light roast, a breakfast blend, and I believe you get a picture of Roberto Jr. in the back.
Actually, it's like a drawing of him, I'm not sure.
And then, of course, we got cake cups, my friends.
So if you got those special little machines, you want to put your little coffee pods in there.
We are getting Ian's Graphene Dream.
We have Sleepy Joe decaf.
I know he's not the president anymore, but it's still funny.

Politico reports more governments pledged to join UK and France in sending peacekeepers to Ukraine.
More countries have signed up to Britain and France's plan to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal, Keir Starmer said.
Speaking to reporters, after a summit of European and world leaders in London on Sunday, the UK's prime minister insisted the coalition of the Willing Plan must have U.S. backing.
Donald Trump's America was a reliable ally, he said.
A number of countries agreed to commit troops to a peacekeeping force during the summit, Starmer said, but he added that he would leave it to individual nations to announce their participation.
It reflected a similar statement on defense spending made after the summit by NATO Chief Mark Rutt.
Rudd said he heard new announcements around the table for European countries vowing to ramp up defense spending, but he would not be drawn on further details.
Starmer called the summit in London to drum up support for the peacekeeping plan and to get European leaders to commit to defense spending increases.
It was revealed on Sunday morning the UK, France and Ukraine would work on a peace plan and present it to Trump.
The summit was hosted by Starmer and attended by other European and world leaders, including Ukrainian.
President Vladimir Zelensky, but there was no U.S. representation.
We have the clip in question, which is actually, this is not the clip, this is just a post from Election Wizard.
Ukraine Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that his nation is prepared to deploy troops and aircraft to Ukraine.
Let me see if I can actually, I grabbed this from myself, but let's grab the actual video of what he said, because there's an important context to break down.
And here we go.
Nick Sorder's got it.
You can always rely on Nick Sorder on X. He's got the breaking news.
keir starmer ▲ ● ▼
The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air.
Together with others, Europe must do the heavy listing.
But to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong US backing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Now, Nick says British PM Keir Starmer has announced the UK is preparing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine.
Now Western troops will be sent into the meat grinder.
This is what Trump warned us about.
They're desperately trying to launch World War III. America needs to stay away from this.
Now, of course, the principal context, if we jump to the community notes, they say.
It says a proposed note.
The Western troops will not be sent in Ukraine now.
The UK wants to develop a coalition of the willing to defend a deal in Ukraine and to guarantee peace afterwards.
Ah, peace.
To guarantee peace, we must send troops from several NATO countries into a war-torn nation currently in conflict with Russia.
Let me bring this down for you.
I certainly think the context is important that you point out.
In the event of an agreement in which Russia withdraws or whatever, We are going to send in troops.
We're prepared to do that.
That's what the UK is saying.
I think it's the stupidest thing you can say because it's basically them sabotaging any peace negotiations.
Vladimir Putin, why do you want access to the Crimean Peninsula?
And Vladimir Putin is going to say the Black Sea fleet is based in Sevastopol, Crimea.
We are not going to take 15 to 20 years to build a new multi-billion dollar port for which we sell.
Furthermore, we will not allow Western influence to shut down our sale of gas through Gazprom in Ukraine.
For this, Russia has taken the Donbass region, what are they, Hans, Mariupol, down into, and Zaporizhia, down to Crimea, so they can maintain control of this access, because the black seat is how they transport fuel, energy, and goods into the Mediterranean and because the black seat is how they transport fuel, energy, and goods into Shutting off Crimea for Russia is basically cutting their country in half.
Putin's not backing off that.
So you say, OK, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to do a peace deal, whatever that may look like, Putin.
Don't worry about it.
We're going to send in troops from several NATO countries the moment you turn your back.
Russia's going to turn my back then.
OK, he wants to make sure he doesn't lose this access.
And the West basically said, yeah, yeah, trust us.
We're going to deploy aircraft and troops the moment you turn around.
You know, maybe the war could have been averted if they made these moves first, but I think that would have just driven the war immediately.
Now take a look at this.
Y'all may have seen this video from Friday.
22.7 million views from Rapid Response.
I want to play it for you now, and we can break a little bit of this down about the scandal that's erupted and why we're going nowhere.
Listen to this.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
It's going to end the destruction of your country.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
Yes, but if you are not strong...
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.
Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
You should be thanking the President for trying to bring it into this conflict.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
I've actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President.
Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?
And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
A lot of questions.
Let's start from the beginning.
First of all, during the war, Everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.
God bless.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
You don't know that.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
God bless.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Man, you see that, that really got Trump going.
You don't know that.
You don't know that.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
We're position.
unidentified
You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and he happens to be right about it.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
From the very beginning of the war.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
You're not in a good position.
You don't have the cards right now.
With us, you start having cards.
Right now, you're playing cards.
You're playing cards.
unidentified
You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War III. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
It's back to you.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
Have you said thank you once?
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
A lot of times.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
No, in this entire meeting you said thank you.
You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.
Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'm just going to pause.
Donald Trump is speaking.
You smile, you nod, you let him speak.
Zelensky is a very poor leader of a nation.
There's a viral photo going around.
I don't know if it actually is reflective of this moment, but it's the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States face palming as Zelensky won't shut up and stop interrupting Donald Trump.
Here's a president who sat you down and said, we're going to solve your problem.
We give you X, you give us Y. And Zelensky is trying to tell him he's wrong.
You're going to feel the pain.
You better do this.
We've got nothing from them.
And there's no argument for us to be involved.
As a longer video.
unidentified
I'm alive with the world and I want to get this thing over.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
You see the hatred he's got for Putin.
It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate.
He's got tremendous hatred.
And I understand that.
But I can tell you the other side isn't exactly in love with, you know, him either.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
So he points out this guy's got hatred for Putin.
Hey, man, I don't blame him.
I'm going to be nice because because because I let's be reasonable.
OK, I I completely understand.
All right.
If somebody if if we got invaded, if somebody invaded my country, I'd be pissed off, too.
The problem is they don't have the cards.
That's what Trump said.
You don't have the cards.
And so what we're dealing with Ukraine.
You need to be deferential.
You need to be nice to this man, Donald Trump, who is actually attempting to provide some support that we have no obligation to provide.
We should not provide, in my opinion.
But maybe Trump wants to offer up because we'll get something in exchange.
The world has reacted.
And the hilarious thing about it is that Democrats are actually against Trump on this one.
I'm sorry, man.
These Democrats, it's a cult.
It is a cult.
I will tell you why.
You know, we ask this question quite a bit, my friends.
We ask quite a bit.
How do you know if you are in the cult or they're in the cult?
And it's like, do we really just march in lockstep with everything?
We don't.
I mean, I won't stop ragging on the guy over TikTok.
Fine, it's trivial.
I'll give him credit because I think Trump does a generally good job.
I mean, massive net positive.
In fact, the best first month of any administration I've ever seen.
That's a reality.
Because, well, I come from more of a libertarian background, you know, classical, traditional, liberal-ish with some libertarian leanings.
So I like to see the deep state, the bureaucracy be reformed.
I don't care if we want to rebuild it, whatever, but it's got to be cleaned up.
You look at right now at the reaction liberals are having to this.
And it is to just defend Zelensky.
Who is Zelensky?
Why do we care about Ukraine?
Give me one reason.
They don't.
They don't.
They just say, Trump's licking Putin's butt.
Or they do that lie.
They're like, oh yeah, well, Tim and his friends were funded by Russia.
That proves it.
That's the lie.
That's the best they can do.
It's a cult.
None of that addresses the arguments.
They say, you know, I saw a bunch of posts about Ukraine war.
There's viral videos of people being snatched off the street and thrown into vehicles.
And I can see the community notes on them.
And the community notes are always like, this video first appeared on Russian propaganda websites.
And I'm like, that's not a fact check.
That's just a website in Russia showing it.
Tell me if it's real or fake.
Prove to me the video is fake.
Or I think it's fine to say.
We have not confirmed the veracity of these claims.
We know there's manpower problems.
It is a fact they're conscripting the elderly and young women.
These videos, however, may be fake.
We don't know.
Honestly, we don't.
But to come at me and be like, it first appeared in a Russian website.
I'm like, yeah, because the Russians don't like the Ukrainians.
Do you have a counterpoint?
Like, are you going to tell me that you know it's fake because of something specific?
You don't?
Okay, well, then stop wasting my time.
They play this game where they're like, Russia is evil, and no matter what Russia does, it proves it's bad.
Listen, stop and ask yourself, cultists, why are you mad at Russia?
Honest question.
What did Vladimir Putin do to you or to us, the United States, in which we are upset?
Now, I can break down for you the geopolitics on a surface level, very light.
We'll call it geopolitics 101. I ain't no foreign policy expert.
But it largely has to do with Russia selling energy in North Africa through the Mediterranean Suez.
It has very little to do with, like, Russia stealing the United States' gold from Fort Knox or anything like this.
Like, what has Russia done to us to where we're like, evil Putin?
We're going to sit here and complain about Putin being a dictator.
I don't like the guy.
unidentified
But the U.S. is going to be like, Vladimir Putin is a dictator who's been in power for 30 years and he wants to bring back the Soviet Union.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And I'm like, yes, yes, all true, all true.
Why do I care?
Why do I care?
Answer me this.
Why do I care?
Well, look what he did in Georgia.
I don't care about those places.
I don't live there.
I don't work there.
We have a southern border problem.
If you wanted to come to me and talk about what's her face in Mexico, the president, I'd be like, well, that's interesting.
That country neighbors ours and the cartels are causing us problems.
I can see why I care about a scandal in Mexico.
But Russia?
You want to come at me and tell me about the leader of Eritrea or Sudan next?
Because I'm going to say the same thing.
I don't care.
And then they go, yeah, but Russia is a superpower.
They've got nuclear weapons.
And I'm like, uh-huh.
Talk to me about the leaders of Iran.
Talk to me about the leaders of Nigeria, whatever it may be.
Nigeria is certainly not Iran.
My point is, you can come to me about any country.
Talk about Xi Jinping and say China's doing all these bad things.
Great.
Are we at war with China now?
Are we going to get militaristically involved in Pakistan?
And send boots on the ground and get involved in every single conflict everywhere in the world?
No.
The reality is the U.S. and NATO have an interest in taking control of Ukraine for a lot of reasons.
There's a clip I want to play for you guys.
It's actually funny.
It's a clip from Joe Rogan talking to Tulsi Gabbard as they're watching the Colbert Report.
So you're going to watch Tim Pool play a clip from Joe Rogan of them playing a clip of Colbert Report.
Yeah.
Before I do, let me show you the battle map.
Let's break it down for you, my friends.
Welcome to Ukraine, a country I largely do not care about.
Now, I want to make sure you all understand how they're lying to you.
Back to finish up my point on why it's a cult.
They're not going to give you any legitimate reason why we're involved in this conflict versus literally any other conflict.
They're not going to come out here and talk to us about Kazakhstan's crisis in the east.
Are they going to talk to us about the where are we at?
You've got China in the West, and you've got Tajikistan, you've got Islamabad, and you've got Xinjiang.
Where's Xinjiang?
I don't even know where it is.
See, I don't know.
I don't care.
I don't pay attention to these things.
But are they going to talk to you about the Uyghur-Muslim crisis and the conflict?
Are we going to go join their fight because Xi Jinping is a dictator of a communist nation?
They don't do it, do they?
The reality is, West and NATO have interest in taking control of Ukraine for a variety of reasons.
Now let me just simplify it for you.
I'm going to show you the battle map.
Okay, here's the Mediterranean Sea.
Here's where Russia can transport goods through all of Europe and North Africa.
Here's the Suez Canal, which can get them to the Arabian Sea, to India, to Southeast Asia, really quickly.
Quite honestly, one of the easiest ways for them to do it.
Look at this.
So here's Moscow, the center of power.
And here's the Black Sea.
And here is the Bosphorus Canal, which leads to the Mediterranean.
And the Suez Canal, which leads to the Arabian Sea.
Russia loses control of Sevastopol, which is Crimea, and they lose access to the Black Sea Fleet.
Or at the very least, we tell them, you're going to have to build a new massive industrial port.
They're going to be like, that's going to set us back decades if they get caught off.
So they're not going to accept it.
They've got a military base in Tartus, but that's Syria.
And of course, Syria is collapsing.
So here's Syria.
And let's jump up to Tartus.
There it is.
Tartus right here in Syria.
This is why Russia doesn't want Syria to fall.
But Syria has fallen, and now they've lost Mediterranean access in Tartus, where they have a naval base.
Next up is the Black Sea.
Yeah.
Do you think Russia is going to back down for major conflict?
Yeah.
I don't see it happening.
So what can we say?
Well, first of all, let me just say this.
We shouldn't be involved in it.
The conflict didn't need to happen if NATO wasn't trying to gain access to Ukraine.
But let me break down for you exactly.
I don't need to break it down for you.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm going to show you this clip of Joe Rogan talking about the issue.
Elon Musk retweeted it.
Okay, here we go.
This is funny.
I'm going to back out of this real quick.
Here we go.
Let's do this one.
Here's the clip.
Elon Musk says, wow.
To Insurrection Barbie, who says much?
Watch clip.
So now, Tim Pool has commented on Elon Musk, who's sharing Insurrection Barbie, a clip of Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard watching the Colbert Report.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Enjoy.
Dean Rose.
Mr. Rose, thank you so much for being here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
This will explain to you what's going on in Ukraine.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Now, Gideon.
Help me out here.
We've got a battle.
The Ukraine, some of them want to go into the EU, the European Union, and some of them want to stay with Russia.
If the Ukraine's not in Europe right now, what continent is it on?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Well, it's part of Eurasia, but it's part of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet bloc.
It's basically Robin to Russia's Batman.
And the challenge here...
The challenge here is to try to attract it to the West, to get it to flip sides.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
So the rebels in the streets, what are they fighting for?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
They're fighting for a better future.
Countries have a development...
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
That sounds like a political speech.
No, but it's actually true.
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Countries have to develop over time.
And Ukraine basically, after the end of the Soviet Union, faced two tracks.
It could stay a sort of stagnant, corrupt, authoritarian country tied to Russia, or it could essentially join the West.
It could modernize, liberalize, become a democracy.
At the last minute, when it looked like it was going to trade up from its sort of abusive relationship with its boyfriend from the hood to a nice yuppie...
unidentified
You're not loading these choices in any way whatsoever.
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
It's actually true.
When it looked like it was going to trade up to a better environment...
At the last minute, Putin offered a bribe.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
How much?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
$15 billion.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
That's a lot of cash, man.
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
It's a lot of cash.
And the president, who himself was tied to the old elites and the eastern part of the country who ties to Russia, decided to back off the change and go join Russia.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Do you know how many pirate-themed restaurants you can buy with $15 billion?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
The problem was the western parts of the country and the younger parts of the country and the more modern liberal parts of the country basically knew that they had no future being Russia's vassal.
And so they took to the streets.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Is America taking sides in this in any way?
If these people, the rebels are winning right now, right?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Yes, just recently.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Why isn't Obama spiking the ball in the end zone and calling Putin and saying, hey, you might have won the medal count, but we won the country count, biatch.
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
It's actually a very good question.
And the answer is that we don't want Russia to intervene and kick over the table like a game of risk and take Ukraine back.
Would they do that?
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Could he send in troops?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Yes, he could.
So we are choosing...
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Does Ukraine have any troops of their own?
Would they fight back?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Yes, but we don't want this to escalate and we don't want Russia to crack down.
So we want to basically distract Russia.
Oh, look, you have the highest medal count.
Oh, you did really well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Is that possible?
gideon rose ▲ ● ▼
Focus on the Olympics.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Here's a shiny object.
We'll just take an entire country away from you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Basically.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Okay.
Wild.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It's a crazy clip because, and Chad Tulsi Gabbard, big fan, and of course Joe Rogan, because when you take a look at what this means, so in 2013, I visited Kiev where something called the Euromaidan protests were happening.
You can actually, You can watch it on Vice if you're so interested.
Let me see.
Ukraine, Maidan, Tim Pool, Vice.
I'm just going to pull this up.
I actually had a Reddit AMA. You know, it's really funny.
It was 11 years ago and I couldn't tell you.
unidentified
I can't remember half of all of that stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Live streaming in the Ukrainian Revolt, Ukraine Rising Part 1. Let's pull this one up.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Back when Vice existed.
Look at that.
So I'll tell you what I found.
That sentiment that was being expressed is not untrue.
The younger people that I met, and these are random people.
We did not have, like, state departments directed meetings or anything like this.
Yo, I literally, as I often do, flew to the country and walked around the city and we interviewed random people.
You know what's really funny?
You know, I can tell you for sure we didn't have any state department direction in this regard.
The two guys that Vice sent me with were screaming and begging to leave.
They wouldn't shut the...
And I was like, dude, we can't leave.
We are witnessing the breakdown of government.
They torched a records building.
We went inside a burnout building.
They took over another administrative building.
The young people there very much wanted to join Europe.
Europe was wealthy and was rich.
They wanted to be a part of the EU and the Schengen zone.
And they said, when our government decided, when it was basically split between Russia and the West, You've got to divide in this country very much down the line, and it resulted in conflict and crisis.
Ultimately, the ousting of President Yanukovych, who fled to Russia.
So these young people, it wasn't so cut and dry that they were like, Russia's evil.
It was very much just like, we don't want to be a part of Russia's Trade Federation.
We've seen what they did to our country historically with the Holodomor, with the Soviet Union, and access to the EU is access to wealth and freedom of movement.
For a lot of these people, I also went to Athens, Greece around a few years later.
And of course, Greece is very far away.
But a similar sentiment when I was in Athens.
That is, the poorest of individuals said, the moment we get access to the EU, we out, baby.
And the concern the EU had was that a mass migration of Ukrainians into the EU would displace jobs and cause wage problems and then just collapse Ukraine.
Basically, what happens is you really do have pro-EU sentiment in Ukraine, fomented, of course, at the time by USAID-funded NGOs and other programs because the West wanted Ukraine to politically make this move.
But take a look.
Belarus and Ukraine were largely under the control of Russia.
Belarus is an ally of Russia.
They get a lot of benefits, and it's staying that way.
Ukraine, same thing.
But the West made its move against Ukraine.
Russia uses Ukraine for Black Sea access, as I've already explained.
There was no way that was not going to turn into major conflict.
They knew it.
And now here we are.
Trump is saying, who cares?
Why are we involved in this?
Now, I'll give you the simple reason.
The United States, I should also stress this real quick while we're looking at the battle map.
Never forget Kaliningrad.
I cannot tell you.
Every single conversation I have with a regular old person to pay attention always starts with me saying, yes, but Kaliningrad, okay?
Kaliningrad is a Russian oblast state that is north of Poland, southwest of Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, separated from Russia by Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, and there's concern.
That the Russians may want to connect a land bridge, that is to say, they want to cut through Lithuania and Poland to gain access to Belarus so that they can freely move machinery, military equipment and personnel in and out.
Kaliningrad is isolated from the main portion of Russia.
Think of it like Alaska, I guess.
Kaliningrad is heavily militarized on the Baltic Sea.
If Russia wants to make a military move on Poland or Lithuania, it does not need Ukraine.
Not to mention Belarus is an ally.
They keep saying this.
They say, if we don't stop Russia and Ukraine, he'll make a move on Poland.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
He can freely move about Belarus right now.
In fact, there was reporting a while ago they were stationing nuclear weapons there.
Not to mention Kaliningrad.
These are lies.
The issue is Russia doesn't want to lose access to the Black Sea.
And then the liberals say, oh, they have other access to the Black Sea.
They have Sochi.
Remember the Sochi Olympics?
Dude, they're not going to spend 20 years building a massive industrial port and the home to their navy.
That's in Crimea.
It's been there since the Soviet era.
It's been there 100 years.
They say that he invaded Crimea.
They were already there.
This is what people need to realize.
So how about we do this?
I got a clip from CNN's show, Have I Got News For Yous?
And listen to this one.
This is how liberals view the whole circumstance.
This is what's crazy to me, okay?
Before I play this, let's just pull up, here's Kyle Kalinske.
He posted this meme.
Me asking my grandma to stop at McDonald's, Zelensky shaking hands with Biden.
It says, me asking my mom to stop at McDonald's and Trump and J.D. Vance are yelling at Zelensky.
This is not the only meme posted by Kyle Kalinsky that is ragging on Donald Trump and propping up Ukraine.
Why?
Kyle, why are you in favor of the military-industrial complex spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a country that no one can find on a map?
And I say that because it is not an ally of the United States.
It is not of utmost strategic importance other than cheaper gas into Europe.
But I digress.
Let's make fun of...
Oh, yeah.
Here's Zelensky wearing a suit for the World Economic Forum.
And then...
Where's that stupid article?
I don't know.
And then he got ragged on for not wearing a suit.
Democrats are actually defending him in this regard.
It's like, people are mad because he shows respect to others and not us.
Okay?
But where's that stupid clip?
Here we go.
Let's play this clip.
Roll tape.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Trump is bad cop.
Who was in there playing good cop?
unidentified
There wasn't one.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
It was Vice President J.D. Vance who rolled out the Ohio hospitality like this.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
For four years in the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country.
What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy.
That's what President Trump is doing.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Vance said, but he had to say, then Zelensky hit him with the old, well, actually...
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
Can I ask you?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Sure.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
Yeah?
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
So we have divided our parts, big parts of Ukraine, parts of East and Crimea.
So he occupied it on 2014. Those time was Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump, and God bless, now President Trump will stop him.
But during 2014, nobody stopped him.
He just occupied and took.
He killed people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
You know what?
keir starmer ▲ ● ▼
Facts are rude.
unidentified
*laughter* Facts are rude?
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Sometimes you get the Ukraine-splain shit to people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
*laughter* Let's go back so you can hear what he said.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump, and God bless, now President Trump will stop him.
But during 2014, nobody stopped him.
He just occupied and took.
He killed people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
You know what?
keir starmer ▲ ● ▼
Facts are rude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Let me just pause real quick.
He didn't invade Ukraine in 2014 to take Crimea.
What happened, for those that don't know, is that the Russian military was already in Sevastopol in Crimea.
They simply walked outside the base.
I'm not exaggerating.
I am not defending Russia.
I think Putin is a scummy guy.
I think he's a bad person.
I don't like the guy.
He's a strong leader for his country, whatever his interests may be.
But the Russian Navy is based in Crimea.
They walked out, had a referendum, and that was it.
There was no occupation.
They already occupied it.
They'd occupied it since the Soviet era.
And now they're saying, facts are rude.
unidentified
Well, sometimes you've got the Ukraine-splain shit to people.
He came in, laid it out, and tied them up in their own words in his fourth language.
That is how easy it is.
It's so wild.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Zelensky said what he had to say.
Here was Vance in response.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
With respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.
Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Oh, thank you for letting your dog shit in my yard.
Thank you.
unidentified
How is any of this funny?
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
J.D. told Zelensky, you should be thanking me.
Now, how do you think, oh, Zelensky responded to that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I'm pretty sure he realized the error of his ways.
unidentified
Here, take 80% of our natural wealth.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Zelensky clapped back with this.
volodymyr zelenskyy ▲ ● ▼
We have been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have.
roy wood-jr ▲ ● ▼
Have you ever been there before?
Have you been?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Now, I got a question.
What is this?
Honest question to you and to anybody else.
What is this?
Why are these liberal personalities kissing the ass of Zelensky?
Honest question.
You know, I can tell you a lot about foreign policy.
I've been to 30-plus countries.
And I'm saying that to say I've been to a lot, but I've not been to all.
What do we have, like 190-something countries in the world?
And maybe that changes.
I have no idea.
Does sea land count?
But I've been all over.
I have interviewed the British consulate to Iran.
Is that not the consul?
What's the guy's name?
I don't know.
I have interviewed former Soviet generals in Ukraine.
I have discussed with many people around the world about these various issues that affect international conflict.
Been to Venezuela.
Had to flee the country.
They accused me of being a spy.
And I can tell you, logically and simply, about the structures on a surface level.
There's probably people that are deeply involved in these things.
They know way better than I do.
That's fine.
My question is, who are these people to be like, ha ha, Zelensky's right, he's great, J.D. Vance is wrong.
And I'm like, right about what?
About what?
What is J.D. Vance wrong about?
You don't know anything about this, but for some reason these people are just like, Zelensky is better than Trump.
Why?
Why are we in Ukraine?
Okay, now I can tell you.
I know.
It's because natural gas.
I mean, seriously, it's natural gas oil.
It's cutting off Russia, which will dramatically weaken their economy.
It will destroy them substantially, probably cut them off by like 30 percent, which Putin's never going to allow.
It bolsters our ability to control the price of energy into Europe, making it cheaper for our European allies and then damaging Russia.
I'll give you an example of what I just find to be the weirdest thing, frustrating and insane.
Is this tweet from Catherine Brodsky, who is, she's on X, she's been on the show on Tim Castile before.
No disrespect, not the biggest personality.
She responded to Donald Trump, who said on the 28th, We had a very meaningful meeting at the White House today.
Much was learned.
That could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure.
It's amazing that what comes out through emotion, blah, blah, blah, determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.
I don't want advantage.
I want peace.
He disrespected the United States of America and its cherished Oval Office.
He can come back when he is ready for peace.
The response from Catherine, I think, really exemplifies the, what would you call it?
A derangement syndrome.
A derangement syndrome.
Okay?
I'm going to read it, but don't forget to smash that like button right now.
If you haven't already, smash it.
And share the show with everyone.
You know, the Tim Pool daily news show on all podcast platforms.
We're on Rumble, of course.
Rumble.com slash Timcast.
And if everybody watching shared it right now.
We'd be the biggest show in the world, which we've been growing.
We've been growing.
Right now we have over, I think, like 35,000 viewers.
So you guys, you rock so much.
Really do appreciate everybody helping to, I guess, advertise, market the work that I'm doing.
If you think I do a good job and you believe that more people need to understand what's happening, share the show with everyone you know.
Catherine Brodsky responds, and this has got 400,000 views.
The level of patty disrespect you advanced displayed today is unprecedented.
I had hoped that you would actually make a deal that protects Ukraine while ending the war.
Turns out bullying was what you intended, so that you could claim that Zelensky is the reason for the lack of peace, even though he clearly wants peace.
He just also wants to ensure the future safety of Ukraine, as a good leader should.
Your misrepresentation of his views and humiliation shows that all you wanted was credit for ending the war, but ended on Russia's terms, not mutual terms.
That is not diplomacy.
Catherine.
What?
OK, well, you're Canadian, I guess.
Is it Canadian?
OK, well, with all due respect, you're entitled to your opinion.
But we here in America, as Americans, don't care about Ukraine.
I don't care now.
I didn't care then.
Ukraine registers to me as much as Sudan does.
I mean, yeah, the U.S. dumps tons of money into it and I don't want them to.
I do not care.
What the Canadians think of what my president, who I voted for, and Vance, my vice president, say to an arrogant man who shows up, can't put on a suit for the life of him unless it's for the World Economic Forum, and has the nerve to interrupt and insult Donald Trump.
OK, my friends, let me just I'm going to help you out for my liberal friends.
When you go into a meeting with a billionaire to ask for money to save.
Let's say your cat is dying.
And you're like, my cat needs a kidney transplant.
They have a procedure.
Here's what this is true.
They actually do this.
You adopt a cat that is set to be put to sleep, like a shelter, and they'll take a kidney from it and give it to your cat.
But you must adopt both cats.
See?
That's pretty awesome, actually.
We tried that for Mr. Bocas.
We entertained it.
Unfortunately, Mr. Bocas was a street cat with birth defects.
He had bad kidneys and they were like, we don't think he's strong enough for this procedure to work.
So we got an extra year out of it.
But let's say I needed 10 grand to pull off that procedure.
And so I sit down with a guy and he says, look, I don't know why I'm getting involved with your cat.
I'm sorry.
It sucks that your cat is sick.
But what do I get out of it?
How about this?
You give me your fancy rock collection, okay?
And I'll buy your fancy rock collection off you and save your cat.
With all due respect, I don't think I should have to give you anything.
You know, if my cat gets sick, you kidding me?
You're sitting down in Trump's office to ask him for another $100, $200 billion from me, from us, and you have the nerve to talk over him, tell him what for.
Well, my friend Zelensky apologized.
Yeah, he actually went and said, I apologize, you know, I shouldn't have said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
This guy needs to be impeached or removed or whatever, but you know what?
Ukraine is a corrupt state.
It's been a corrupt state for a long time.
It's a beautiful country.
They have tremendous farmland.
I really enjoyed my time there.
I've been there, I think, what, three times?
Really enjoyed it.
But it's not our business.
It's not.
And the move here, it's fascinating to me.
First, I want to stress this too.
Democrats are lying about it all.
I'm just I'm just sorry.
It's true.
They keep saying Putin thought he'd take Kiev in three days.
He never said that never happened.
I believe that was Milley who said Trump Putin thinks he can take it in three days and they turned it into a Russia set at talking point.
Now they come out and say he thought it'd be three days.
It's been three years.
Let's keep fighting.
Do you know the Democrats argue?
Democrat voters and politicians.
We are weakening Russia.
He's throwing wave after wave of his own men.
And he's struggling here.
This is fantastic.
And I'm like, so your argument is that the Ukrainian people are cannon fodder to weaken Russia?
Yes, because Ukraine was largely viewed as a vassal of Russia.
They are happy to see them ripping each other to shreds and Ukraine being destroyed and Russia being damaged.
And me, I'm just like, can we fix the water in Flint?
I know they keep saying it's fixed, but depends on who you ask.
How about can we secure the southern border?
Oh, wait, Trump did that.
You take a look at what the American people are concerned about.
It's economics.
It's not Russia selling fuel in North Africa and in the Arabian Sea.
But that's what they're trying to sever Russia off from.
And Russia knows it.
Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg gives them access to the Baltic.
And then the Black Sea is everything.
Istanbul, that's where the Bosphorus Canal is.
and Turkey controls that.
Russia can send its ships and do trade into the Aegean Sea, into the Sea of Crete, into the Mediterranean and all across, even out through Gibraltar and around if they really wanted to.
And it also grants them access to the Suez Canal, which right here gets them access to the Red Sea and can allow them to trade in India, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, etc.
Tremendous access for Russia that they lose if they lose this position.
They're not going to give it up.
so I just want to stress this again.
Who are these people that are cheering for this stuff?
I got to give a shout out to Lindsey Graham.
So Laura Ingram said, or tweeted, Lindsey Graham said that perhaps you should consider resigning.
Zelensky said, Lindsey Graham is a very good guy.
I can give him Ukrainian citizenship, then his voice will gain weight.
And all the Democrats are hooting and hollering and clapping.
Lindsey Graham says, unfortunately, until there's an election, no one has a voice in Ukraine.
And they actually try to argue against this.
Now, I really don't like Lindsey Graham, but I'll give him credit for that one.
He's right.
I don't care if you want to argue.
They can't have elections.
They're under martial law.
Sure.
So that means no one has a voice.
They try responding to this, being like, they have a voice.
They can speak out in media, just like Gonzalo Lira did, and they killed him!
And Zelensky was asked about it.
He's like, I do not know this man.
I know this.
No, who is that?
I don't care about this.
I have bigger problems.
Gonzalo Lira was a Chilean-American who was reporting on the ground in the Ukraine conflict.
They arrested him for anti-Ukraine sentiment.
He tried fleeing the country, and they murdered him.
So don't come to me.
Do not come to me, okay?
And prop up this Zelensky guy, okay?
I'm not here for it.
This guy's not a good person.
Only incentive is the war must not stop.
Isn't it weird?
Kyle Kalinske, here he is.
The war mustn't stop.
The progressives, they're just all for the war.
Here's another meme.
Finally, you're dressed appropriately for the Oval Office, and he's wearing sunglasses and dark MAGA like Elon says, thank you.
That's just funny.
I'll give him that one.
You've got this one.
Please help.
Russia is slaughtering my people.
No, America first.
Then Netanyahu, I want to bomb children.
Give me $100 billion.
Yes, daddy.
You see, Kyle, here's the thing.
You're a military-industrial complex stooge.
These people are cult hypocrites.
That's a fact.
All right?
Let me tell you.
By all means, let's criticize the funding of Israel, the conflict, and all of that.
Okay?
I'm not a fan of war.
I don't want to be involved in Israel's conflict.
We're going to be stuck there for another 70 years, who knows how long.
I agree with many people.
In fact, I've had neoconservatives.
I've had moderate Republicans, more on the pro-Israel side, and libertarians.
We all agreed there's got to be a timeline for withdrawal from Israel.
We are spending way too much, and they need to develop self-reliance in their own defense.
And that would mean, let's set a timeline.
We're going to slowly wean off of this.
Obviously, we don't want Afghanistan times 300. We're not going to leave Israel instantly.
It's a 70-year relationship.
Ukraine is not our problem.
Now, again, we also don't want Afghanistan, you know, whatever, but we're supposedly not in Ukraine.
So what's the issue?
We should not be funding any of it.
Why is Kyle?
Using one to defend the other.
Because these people are cultists who will defend whatever they're told to defend.
That's just it.
The dude's got tons of memes where he's basically just pro-Zelensky, anti-Trump.
He's against Trump no matter what, for no reason.
That's just it.
Whatever he can do to make fun of Trump.
Because they're cultists.

Probably banned for gaming the system, so, you know, we don't have that many viewers.

Anyway, here we go.

What have we here?
What is this?
Denver and Joyer says, this is such cope, Tim.
Cope from who?
Need to work on your TP. I don't know what a TPS report is.
It's from OfficeSpace.
TPS reports?
What is that?
I want to look that up.
What is a TPS report?
What is a TPS report?
That's from OfficeSpace, right?
It is a, let's see what it says.
A fictional yet widely recognized term from OfficeSpace.
Test procedure specification.
Fictional yet widely recognized.
There we go.
TPS reports.
I'm not your buddy, guys.
It's almost as though Koch-headed Zelensky intentionally came to derail it publicly so the EU and partners could attack Trump and Vance to isolate them.
No, I think Zelensky's intention was to make sure war keeps happening.
That's it.
He is a figurehead puppet.
He doesn't care about ending the war.
He just wants the war to continue.
That's all he has to make happen.
And then the Democrats chime in like little morons and cheer for more war.
Whatever.
I'll tell you consistently, I'm an anti-war individual.
I strongly oppose war.
I strongly oppose U.S. involvement in all of it.
Have my whole life.
Yet how are you having these progressives be like, war is bad?
What's that?
Ukraine?
unidentified
War is good.

My favorite Hassan Piker moment.
Was when he was criticizing me, criticizing him.
No, no.
He was criticizing me, agreeing with him.
Okay.
Mr. Beast was curing cataract blindness.
Hassan Piker made a video where he was like, this is insane.
Why are we turning healthcare into a game show?
I made a video agreeing with him.
I said, Hassan Piker is correct.
This is nuts that we rely on a game show to cure people of cataract blindness when it's a simple procedure to do.
Something is fundamentally broken in this country.
And then in that, I said, We should not be backing the military-industrial complex in these wars.
So Hassan Piker is like, yeah, the military-industrial complex is a bad thing.
You know, we shouldn't be funding all these wars.
And then I said, and that's why we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine.
And then Hassan does a 180, and he's like, homie, homie thinks Ukraine should be left on their own?
For real?
Bro.
Well, no one ever accused Hassan of being smart, I guess.
All right.
Hyperion says, Tim, the New York Post reported the Dem met with Zelensky before the Trump Vance meeting.
Actually, it was Democrats and Republicans.
Scrapchat says, thanks for having AK and I on.
It was fun.
Looking forward to future community involvement.
Indeed, headed to the Roma Nation podcast, born of the Timcast community Discord server.
St. Miles had shared on other social media platforms.
Amazing.
Corpus Delecti says, Tim, did you hear about the European gas companies refusing to allow U.S. naval ships to refill there now?
Interesting.
Looks like war, my friends.
I hope not.
Connor Suba says we need to leave NATO. You know, I don't know that I completely agree with that.
I don't like NATO expansionism, and I don't like Europe not paying their fair share.
I don't like that we could be dragged into Europe's wars some hundred years on over whatever this garbage is.
We need our own alliances and structures that need to be mutually beneficial.
And if that's Europe, that's fine.
But they haven't been paying their—and I mean literal fair share.
There's a GDP payment expectation they're not meeting, these European nations.
So Trump is right to make them pay up, and he did in his first term.
They should be doing it now.
I don't know that we need to leave NATO. I just don't know that NATO needs to keep expanding to every single country on the planet.
C'est la vie.
Vassal Park says, because they are illiberal.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, Aflac.
Call them what they are, Tim.
Fascists, warmongers, and cultists?
I try.
All right, what do we have?
Zeroni says, Zelensky's behavior last week was that of a man who knows that everyone else in the U.S., everyone else in the U.S. funds to fight a war is eventually declared a foreign enemy of these United States.
Oh, man.
Stephanie Holt says, It's tough, huh?
Don't know exactly what's to come next, but I think it's fair to say a lot of people view Zelensky as a puppet.
As a puppet.
All right, let's see.
There was something I wanted to bring up.
They're illiberal.
Well, I guess we'll wrap things up, my friends.
