In a new interview, J.D. Vance says the meeting at the White House between Zelensky, he and the president was largely ceremonial.
They had basically agreed to the minerals deal.
Donald Trump was going to provide resources and military aid to Ukraine in exchange for rights to these minerals.
And then Zelensky went in the last few minutes of their meeting and blew the whole thing up.
This guy is so arrogant and so egotistical that he shows up to the White House.
And basically spits in the face of the president, vice president of the Oval Office, and could have had a deal that could have helped protect his country.
Now, J.D. Vance makes a really great point.
He says, look, a mineral deal does two things.
It helps Americans get back some of the money they've spent on Ukraine.
Hey, here's a reason to defend this nation.
And that is the second benefit they get.
The United States will be invested in securing Ukraine, helping them win this war because...
We have a stake in the game.
And Zelensky didn't want to play that game.
Zelensky says, no, you will give me what I want or else.
Now, Trump had a bunch of words.
J.D. Vance had a lot of words.
The general idea being that they don't want, the White House doesn't want Zelensky to use American support as leverage against Putin to prolong the war.
And Zelensky went out and said, this war is very far from over.
And Trump's pissed because Trump said, before he got elected, as soon as he gets elected, it's over.
And it's not.
So Trump really wants this to go away.
It's not a big piece of his agenda.
It's getting in the way of bringing back manufacturing and securing the United States.
So he says, let's figure this one out.
And Zelensky drags it out.
So last night, major breaking news.
Trump suspended all aid to Ukraine.
Now reports are coming in that Ukraine's government fears the war front will collapse.
The war will end.
Yeah, Putin's going to crush Ukraine.
It's kind of surprising to me how many people have come out over and over again.
We talked about the other day defending Zelensky.
And it's just like, why?
Why do you care about Ukraine?
You stupid cultists.
There's nothing there for us.
You never heard of the country until the war started.
It's fascinating how none of these people care about literally anything else.
They just the media said to believe it.
And here they are marching in lockstep for the military-industrial complex.
The latest news is that Trump wants a public apology.
If Zelensky apologizes, then maybe the U.S. will bring this deal back.
In the meantime, J.D. Vance said in this interview, something that was seemingly innocuous, and I don't think he was wrong about, if you want real security guarantees, you come to the U.S., not some random European country that hasn't fought a war in 20 or 30 years to give you 20,000 troops.
Once again, it doesn't matter what J.D. Vance does.
It doesn't matter what Trump does.
There is a cohort of people in this country that no matter what happens will always hate and lie and scream at the top of their lungs.
I don't got answers for you.
These people are deranged.
They have a derangement.
J.D. Vance didn't say the U.K. sucks.
He didn't say France sucks.
He said some random European country.
I don't think he was talking about the U.K. or France.
I think he was quite literally saying off the cuff.
There's been this conversation about a coalition and a bunch of random troops being sent into Ukraine.
You don't even know where they're coming from.
You want the U.S. The U.S.'s premium, premium warfighters.
Well, to feign outrage, they're now claiming he is attacking U.K. and France, which he literally never said.
OK, my friends, the war may be about to end.
Let me stress this.
The war may be coming to an end.
This is huge.
With Zelensky's tantrum.
In the Oval Office last Friday and Trump saying, then you get nothing from us.
Ukraine can't fight.
They can't.
They're conscripting the elderly and young women.
They are running out of men.
Whether those videos are real or not, they're in trouble.
They were always in trouble.
And the question of why the U.S. is getting involved in this has still never been answered.
Honest question.
To any one of these Democrats, why should the U.S. spend hundreds of billions of dollars?
No answer.
I didn't think so.
So, my friends, let's break down the news today.
We got a lot to talk about.
Plus, the tariffs have just dropped and the market is none too happy.
Oh, yeah.
The market's dropped quite a bit.
I ain't crying about it.
I don't know.
I mean, maybe some people are being seriously impacted in their retirement accounts.
So let's hope these things get back on track.
But I'm going to tell you this.
A lot of people voted on economics and immigration.
Immigration?
Solved.
Lowest border crossings, I think, in, what, 20 or 30 years?
Or largely ever?
A secure southern border.
Deportations underway.
However, economically, things are rough right now.
And yes, people are upset about it.
So let's see how Trump can play this one.
It's been just over a month.
So I'm going to say, let's roll.
Let's see what you got.
But Trump better turn this one around.
He's got a big task ahead of him.
With the economy.
And Ukraine is in the way.
He's got the southern border, but if he does not get the economy back on track, people are going to be very angry.
You know, for me, I'm insulated.
There's a certain degree of tolerance my business has in a bad economy.
But we still got employees to pay.
We still got miles to feed.
And when the prices go up, that ripples.
So when I say insulated, I mean this.
You guys, as the working class front line, you see it instantly.
So it's, you know, I'll put it this way.
It's easy for me to say, let's see what Trump does.
But I am fully cognizant of the fact that Trump's got to get the economy on track for the average person.
Because what happens, the way it works for us as a business, economy goes bad for you guys, prices go up, market goes down.
You immediately feel the heat.
You're pissed and rightly so.
Then our staff comes and says, we need raises, we can't afford it.
At the same time, our revenue is going down.
So we feel the heat.
In a slight delay.
Things better get...
Trump's gonna have...
He's got a task at him, I'll tell you this.
But let's get into the news, my friends.
We'll start with, of course, everyone's favorite, cast brew coffee.
You gotta buy cast brew coffee.
You gotta do it!
Ian's Graphene Dream.
Do we got it?
unidentified
No!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Still sold out.
I believe Ian's Graphene Dream will be back in a couple of days.
We do have cake cups.
So if you want coffee pods, you can pick them up at Casper.com.
Guys, Casper Coffee has been tremendously successful.
Franchises are currently getting set up as we speak.
It all takes time.
But the physical locations are coming.
If I was Elon Musk, I'd snap my fingers and have a bunch of physical locations.
I am not.
I am not that wealthy.
So we're working.
We're working really, really hard.
When you guys buy Casper Coffee, we make money.
We do.
But I'll tell you this.
We have not pulled profits from Casper.
That money is being reinvested because more than anything, if you came to me and said, Tim, you make all this money from the coffee, what do you want to do with it?
I want to buy physical locations where you guys can hang out, where we can do culture war live.
That's right.
Where you guys, the audience, can come and join the debate.
We decentralize those power structures in politics.

Here's what I would say to all of you right now.
We've got to go one step beyond being passive observers in the news.
Get active.
The left has an army of activists and NGOs.
They funnel money into these groups to organize.
How do we do it?
You know, look, man, I work nonprofits, and I'll tell you this.
We can't just simply watch the news, turn it off, and go about our day.
But not everybody has a time or energy.
So I tell you this.

You remain active.
You remain in this fight.
And we need everybody to be.
Why?
Donald Trump did really well in 2016. He wins the election, but then he loses the midterms.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Because Trump voters didn't turn out.
We need to keep people active.
Now, while Scott Pressler may be on the ground in New Jersey doing that hard fight, online, I'm not going to sit idly by.
That's why we want the cast-through physical locations.
This is why we have the Discord server, so you guys can get involved and be friends with each other.
Not to mention, shout-out to Roman Nation Podcast and the Quiet Part Podcast, which launched inside the Discord server and are now their own shows.
So you guys network.
You can build new things, and you can do more.
You can be more.
Instead of just sitting there watching and wondering, how do I get involved?
Just literally join the fray.
Let's read the news, my friends.
Smash that like button.
Share the show right now.
Here we go.
Daily Mail reports Trump demands public apology from Zelensky to restore relations after Oval Office spat as Starmer says no one wants to see public rouse.
But he does trust President wants lasting peace ahead of the crisis summit in London today.
So I do have the video for you right away.
And this is the initial video.
This is incredible from J.D. Vance, basically breaking down.
It was a done deal until Zelensky nuked everything.
And let me stress this.
Trump has frozen aid to Ukraine.
This is massive.
Let's play the video.
But again, I don't think you just share the show if you could.
And it really does help.
Here's the clip.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
You're exactly right, Sean.
When the Ukrainians came to Washington on Friday, it was supposed to be ceremonial.
You know, there had been some public back and forth, some disagreements, some words spoken in public.
And the president was like, let's have this moment.
We give some credit to the brave Ukrainian fighters.
And of course, it's a very brave army that they have there in Ukraine.
Let's sign this minerals deal, which importantly does two things.
It allows the American people to get some of their money back, but it also shows the Ukrainian people that America has a long-term And look, in some way, Sean, I get it.
I get the frustration.
I get the rage.
It's their country.
Of course, it's not our country.
But you've got to accept cooler heads have got to prevail.
This thing cannot go on forever.
This is the important point.
I'd say this to are, of course, most importantly, the Americans who are watching, but people all over the world.
When you talk to leaders in private, whether they're Ukrainian or European, when you talk to people in private, they will tell you this cannot go on forever.
There aren't enough Ukrainian lives.
There isn't enough American money and there isn't enough ammunition to fund this thing indefinitely.
The only realistic pathway to bring this thing to a settlement is President Trump's pathway.
We encourage both President Zelensky and President Putin to follow that path.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Crazy, man.
You heard it.
It was supposed to be ceremonial, but Zelensky can't help himself.
He's arrogant and he wants the war to continue.
I got to be honest.
I think Zelensky is intentionally prolonging the war.
I really do.
He has said publicly that this war is not going to be ending anytime soon.
It's a long ways away from ending.
Trump's pissed about it.
Zelensky makes himself a celebrity so long as he forces everybody in this fight.
I believe...
Based on what we've...
So let's do this.
You know what?
I'm going to pull up the story.
I'm going to...
Germany, Ukraine, Nord Stream 2. Let's see.
Where is he?
Here it is.
It's from August.
Let's pull this one up.
And we'll pull it more if we have to, because this is just the first thing I pulled up.
Ukraine behind Nord Stream pipeline sabotage report claims.
A report by the U.S. outlet Wall Street Journal claims Kiev concocted the plan to blow up the pipeline, bringing Russian gas to Germany in May of 2022, citing four anonymous Ukrainian military sources.
So let me, can I get the Wall Street Journal on this one?
Because that's massive.
Yeah, here we go.
Wall Street Journal.
The real story.
So let me just express this.
Germany has charged, I believe, charges Ukrainian.
Nord Stream.
Let me pull that one out.
These are all old stories.
Arrest warrant.
Let's roll, baby.
Let's roll.
Is Ukraine an ally or enemy of the United States?
Oh, OK. I'm going to pause you right there, Democrats.
When they try and pull up the tenant media thing and say that two guys who were in what was the country?
They were in what country was?
I don't even know.
Some Yugoslavia or something.
We're funneling money to a Tennessee-based American conservative company who then licensed content.
That's the best they got.
Here's what I'll give you.
I'll give you Politico.eu and the Wall Street Journal.
Ukraine is an enemy of the United States and is actively seeking to subvert the agenda of the United States.
Take a look at this.
Germany issued arrest warrant for Ukrainian over Nord Stream bombing reports say the suspect was able to evade the arrest warrant.
Heavens me!
Then we have this from the Wall Street Journal.
A drunken evening, a rented yacht, the real story of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
Private businessmen funded the shoestring operation, which was overseen by a top general.
President Zelensky approved the plan, then tried unsuccessfully to call it off.
So what happened?
Nord Stream is a gas pipeline from Russia to Germany.
Germany, of course, is an ally of ours and was receiving energy from Russia.
Now, the United States doesn't like that Germany is dependent on Russia for gas.
This is the conflict.
The U.S. wants to reduce Russia's ability to sell gas to Europe because they control prices.
They control most of the gas.
This is why the U.S. wanted to build the Qatar-Turkey pipeline stretching up through Syria-Turkey into Europe to offset and reduce Russia's natural gas monopoly.
Syria wouldn't allow it.
Russia has a military base in Syria.
Syria, Russia, and Iran said we'll build our own pipeline and strengthen our monopoly.
This is largely the cause of the war.
Don't get me wrong.
There's so much more beyond this.
Why do we want cheaper gas in Europe?
The issue stretches quite a bit.
So what happens now is Germany is getting cheap gas.
It's expensive, but they're getting a large supply of gas from Russia.
The U.S. is pissed.
So according to the Wall Street Journal, And an arrest warrant from Germany, our ally.
It was a Ukrainian under the direction of the president of Ukraine who bombed a gas pipeline supplying energy to our NATO allies.
Ukraine is not an ally.
If a nation that is not an ally bombs an energy pipeline to our ally, who is our friend here?
Now I'll tell you why I think they did it.
And I believe the idea that Zelensky was trying to call it off, I think that's nonsense.
This was initially the reports were that Russia bombed it.
And everyone's like, Russia blew up their own pipeline where they said, yeah, they claimed they dropped a bomb in it so that it transported the bomb across and then blew up in the ocean.
Some then said it was CIA frogmen, scuba divers with bombs who did it.
Well, the official reporting and the arrest warrant, though I'm not going to say it's definitively proven until the guy's arrested, whatever, but Germany issued a warrant.
Ukrainian did this.
Why?
Potentially could have triggered Article 5. If it was Russia that bombed the gas supply into Germany, it could be perceived as an attack on a NATO ally and force the US to go on the ground in Ukraine.
You will never convince me.
Okay, that this was not the play by the Ukrainians on purpose based on this reporting.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Say the Wall Street Journal is wrong.
Say Politico is wrong.
But on the surface right now, what we know, it appears Ukraine was intending to engage in a false flag operation to trigger Article 5 and force the American people to fight their war because they are our enemy.
They are trying to steal our resources and force us to fight a war we do not want to be involved in.
Save for these sycophants who can't explain for one reason why we're involved in this conflict.
They say Vladimir Putin, if he takes Ukraine, Poland's next.
Lie.
Belarus borders Poland and Lithuania.
So does Kaliningrad.
Belarus already has Russian troops in it.
Liars.
They have no good reason.
Now, if Zelensky's plan worked, we would be potentially in World War III with American boots on the ground in Ukraine, save for cooler heads.
So this country, they are not our friends.
They are lying to us from the get-go, prolonging this war.
And this is why Trump is pissed, and it's why I'm pissed.
We have spent nearly, according to Trump, I think it's $350 billion in peripheral spending for Ukraine.
A large portion is direct spending.
A large portion is peripheral spending in other means.
European defense.
Why are the American people paying this bill?
And if the Democrats want to come to me and say, Tim, the money they spend, the hundreds of billions of dollars, went to new military equipment and we sent them old equipment, so we're actually revitalizing our military.
Why are we spending $350 billion on the military-industrial complex?
How about universal healthcare?
Deal.
How about that?
How about we take the $350 billion and we put it towards paying off school loans or something?
You know what I got to say?
I don't like being backed into a corner, but I'd be willing to take that $350 billion and spend it on literally anything else, so long as it was benefiting the American people.
To be fair, I don't think paying off everybody's student loans really does benefit the American people.
But how about $350 billion in public works?
We the U.S. government can issue grants to chip manufacturers to seed and incubate new technologies and manufacturing in this country.
How about the production of aluminum, steel, et cetera, lumber and lumber regrowth so that we can be self-sufficient?
How about we invest in new industry in Alaska and start harvesting our massive resources?
Instead, we get these scumbags in Ukraine who know the Biden administration was weak and pathetic.
And they could bully us and trick us into funding their war.
You see what people got to understand?
The U.S. has a vested interest in Ukraine, cutting off Russia from the Black Sea, getting gas pipeline through Ukraine.
Ukraine is leveraging that against us like scumbags.
It's not so much they need our help to fight the war.
They do.
But Zelensky knows that Ukraine's territory is strategically located.
Sending Russian gas through Gazprom into Europe, and the U.S. wants this pipeline through Syria that's going to go up into the country, potentially.
I don't think so, but through Turkey.
They know they need to maintain this control.
They need to maintain that leverage.
They want to rope us into their conflict, lying, cheating, and stealing all the way.
So we will carry on with the news, but I'm going to say it one more time for those in the back.
Politico.eu.
Germany issues arrest warrant for Ukrainian over Nord Stream bombing.
Wall Street Journal.
Private businessman funded the shoestring operation, which was overseen by a top general, and Zelensky approved the plan.
They're going to say that he unsuccessfully tried to call it off.
This was according to the Wall Street Journal, and based on this political report about a German arrest warrant, Ukraine sabotaged an energy pipeline that supplied our NATO ally with energy.
Why are we helping Ukraine?
This is shocking to me.
I mean, look, there's something else at play, I gotta be honest, because if I was Trump...
I'd have sat down with Zelensky and say, the Wall Street Journal said that you approved a plan to bomb an energy pipeline into our allied nation, into an allied nation, an ally of ours, Germany.
What's Zelensky going to say?
No, it is not true.
Let me tell you this one.
We want to support this country, this mini-dictatorship.
Gonzalo Lira was a reporter.
He was a Chilean-American.
He reported from Ukraine.
Not a fan of Ukrainians.
He tried to flee the country.
He was trying to leave.
They killed him.
They killed him.
Why should we give this country anything?
They are not our friends.
They're not our allies.
They are manipulative, corrupt scumbags who are trying to drag us into their war because they know that Russia's an adversary of ours.
This Nord Stream could have been a false flag that lit up World War III. I ain't having none of it.
Screw Ukraine, dude.
And they try to play this clip of me when this story broke.
And I said, this is an enemy of our country.
They pull out a context.
They pull out a context.
And for some reason, there are people flying Ukrainian flags.
I don't know.
I don't care what a cultist thinks.
If you're too stupid to follow the news, if you are a stooge for the military industrial complex to dump hundreds of billions of dollars into the war machine, then so be it.
I ain't gonna pull my punches.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna hold back because there are stupid people that want World War III. I ain't playing that game.
Now Rubio's joined in.
Rubio demands an apology from Zelensky for antagonizing Trump.
I agree with this one.
Defying international outcry, Marco Rubio blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the fracas that erupted in the Oval Office.
Now I got a question.
Now with all due respect to Rubio, did Trump advance?
Why is it that my show, on my show, I can highlight these stories and I can tell you, hey look, it's been reported, Zelensky signed off on bombing an energy pipeline that supplied natural gas to Germany.
Why can I report that?
Why ain't Rubio saying it?
Why ain't Trump saying it?
Why ain't Vance saying it?
There's a bigger game afoot and I get it.
I get it.
Trump wants peace.
And you've got these, let me pull this story from the Daily Beast.
Fox News star breaks with Trump.
Putin is the bad guy.
You want to know why Donald Trump ain't coming out and saying miserable things about Vladimir Putin?
He's trying to convince the guy to stop the war.
Okay?
If you're going to go do a negotiation with somebody, you don't insult them before you do it.
So I get what Trump is doing.
Now, I don't know why they're not bringing up the fact that Ukraine has been a major saboteur and is not our friend.
But I get it.
It's probably much the same reason.
Trump wants the war over, so he ain't about to come out and just start spitting on everybody.
Fine.
Now, there have been a bunch of Democrats, and they're like, this is really funny to me.
They said, Trump says the war is going to be over in 24 hours.
Yeah, because he's going to give up.
I'm like, give up?
I didn't realize we were fighting the war.
Oh, that's right.
I did.
We all know it, but they're lying about it.
And so here we are.
Currently, you got calls for an apology, and I'd like to see it.
Now, recently, we had this story.
Let me see if I can.
Oh, here we go.
Zelensky dismisses Trump's demand for an apology.
This is remarkable.
He appeared on Fox News and he said that he showed appreciation but denied the need to apologize to President Trump.
Thank you, Washington Post.
And now we have this.
One of the big stories we got the other day was that the U.K. and France were committing to sending troops into Ukraine upon a peace deal being made.
They would deploy peacekeepers to make sure the fighting didn't break out again.
That's one heck of a way to tell Putin you ain't doing a deal.
Let me put it this way.
Putin is at war.
He wants the land bridge into Crimea.
He ain't giving up access to defend and maintain the Black Sea naval port in Sevastopol.
So he says, I'm taking it.
They're going to call for a peace with Putin.
And they're telling him outright, Vladimir, we want peace.
We're going to end this conflict.
And then the moment you agree to that, we're going to deploy a whole bunch of troops into Ukraine and you can't stop us.
Why would Putin agree to that?
Vladimir Putin took the land bridge to Crimea.
Why would he now be like, OK, I'll agree to cede territory and bring peace to Ukraine and let you bring in all your troops?
Yeah, that ain't going to fly.
The moment the UK and France announced they'd send troops, they basically, that's a clever way of saying there will be no peace.
There will be none.
Do you think Putin wants NATO forces butting up against Crimea?
He's not going to agree to a peace deal knowing that they're going to deploy troops.
A peace deal would be we maintain our land bridge, the fighting stops, we back off Ukraine, no troops, no NATO presence.
Putin already said Ukraine and NATO is a hard stop.
But we're going to deploy troops to there?
Well, now we get this clip that's going viral.
Oh, actually, before I pull that up, let's make sure we hit this story.
Ukraine's war front could collapse in six months without U.S. aid.
Ukrainian officials fear the front line could collapse.
Russian troops are launching deadly suicide missions across the Dnipro River, trying to seize land for future peace talks.
Trump has paused all military aid, pressuring Zelensky to negotiate.
Experts say Ukraine's remaining supplies could run up by midsummer, and Europe may not be able to fill the gap.
Trump's National Security Advisor says the time to talk is now.
Trump knows how to play hardball, my friends.
We've got this, where did J.D. Vance video go?
Is it over here?
Here we go.
Okay, sorry.
It was in the back.
Antonello Guerrero says bad news for Starmer and Macron.
Vance confirms the only U.S. security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.
He also plays down British and French peacekeeping troops as, quote, 20K. I would talk to the Biden administration officials in private.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
It's another example of a terrible situation that Biden admin left the Trump administration.
When you ask them, what's the plan?
Okay, we're going to spend tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars in Ukraine.
What is your plan?
And they would honestly tell you, well, we're just going to send them weapons for as long as we can and hope eventually they can turn the tide.
Hope is not a strategy.
Putting money and ammunition at a terrible conflict, that is not a strategy.
The only guy in town with a strategy is the President of the United States, and everybody needs to follow his lead.
unidentified
What scares me is Zelensky, when he says it's going to go on for years, how many more lives are going to be lost?
He's not going to have a country to save at the end of that.
The minerals deal would have provided the monies to rebuild their country, and a strong U.S. presence, and maybe European troops as well.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
And this is an important part of it.
The president knows that, look, if you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine.
That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.
The security guarantee and also the economic guarantee for Ukraine is to rebuild the country and ensure that America has a long-term interest.
You're not going to do that if you come to the Oval Office, insult the president, and refuse to follow his plan for peace.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Now, what did he say?
Some random country with 20, 30 troops that haven't fought a war in 30 to 40 years.
This guy, Antonella Guerrera, who is with Republica or whatever, it looks like he's a UK guy, added that context that J.D. Vance did not say.
And of course, they're all extremely pissed.
J.D. Vance responded, saying, this is absurdly dishonest.
I don't even mention the U.K. or France in the clip, both of whom had fought bravely along to the U.S. over the last 20 years and beyond.
Why would J.D. Vance be talking about the U.K. and France?
He literally said some random country.
He's talking about a plethora of European countries that are supposed to join a coalition.
Who doesn't know that the U.K. and France?
France is largely responsible for Libya.
Don't get me wrong.
J.D. Mann says, but let's redirect.
There are many countries who are volunteering privately or publicly support who have neither the battlefield experience nor the military equipment to do anything meaningful.
So what countries are they referring to?
I don't know.
That's why he said some random country that hadn't fought a war.
So, I'd imagine there's a handful of random countries in Europe that hadn't fought any wars.
He's also making a good point that...
Should this peace deal actually come to fruition and UK and France, do they want to commit troops?
Are the troops going to first come from UK and France or are they likely going to come from some poorer nation that is closer?
Yeah.
I don't buy it.
But of course, this is the media narrative.
UK MPs condemn deeply respectful J.D. Vance comments.
Oh, heavens to Betsy.
U.S. Vice President comments on proposed Anglo-French deployment to UK prompt outrage.
You see how they lie?
They are liars.
And this is why I played the clip for you first, my friends, because, you know, he did not say from France or Ukraine.
He said from France or the UK, not Ukraine.
He said some random country.
He's speaking off the cuff.
He's literally saying, take an agreement with the Americans because we're going to have investment.
And I'll tell you this.
I don't want to be involved in this war.
We are.
J.D. Vance makes a good point.
Give the American people a reason to fight.
Give us a mineral deal.
Make us less dependent upon China for rare earth minerals, neodymium, for instance.
And, you know, maybe that Americans might be somewhat invested in the benefits to this conflict.
Maybe we can see some massive economic gain.
Right now, what is it?
Now, I can tell you all about, you know, Gazprom and gas pipelines and all this stuff, but they won't publicly say that.
So this really just becomes a geopolitical conflict, cutting Russia off.
Here's one way to look at it.
The U.S. wants the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.
We want to send gas from this oil field in the Middle East, this gas field, gas deposit, up into Europe, and then we can force gas to lower their prices.
Here's another way to do it.
You take out Russia's access to the Black Sea and cut them off from the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, and the Indian Ocean, and Russia's going to have no choice but to sell for whatever they're offered, because their economy will be in shambles.
Let's read the news from The Guardian.

I can see all of you watching.
Have you smashed the like button?

Seriously, get involved.
Super chat, comment.

Here we go.
They say the shadow defense secretary and other MPs have reacted with fury.
J.D. Vance appeared to describe the proposed Anglo-French peace deployment to Ukraine as 20,000 troops from a random country that has not fought a war in 30 to 40 years.
It came to Downing Street and said Keir Starmer had spoken to Trump on Monday night, part of a continued U.K. effort to try and patch up a faltering peace plan for U.K. Now, what's funny to me is all they're really doing is saying J.D. Vance bad.
I got to tell you, my friends, how does it make sense that Trump is meeting with Keir Starmer, negotiating a plan that they are going to be a part of, And then this peace deal, the deal we're working on, the mineral deal, UK's involvement with the United States, and they're saying J.D. Vance is disparaging that very same deal?
They are lying.
That is not at all what is being said.
So yes, J.D. Vance, it is absurdly, absurdly dishonest.
But I cannot leave out perhaps my favorite response, and this is from Canadian crackpot and amoral lunatic Chrystia Freeland.
Losing or effing mind, I'd like to play for you this one.
Wait till you hear this.
chrystia freeland ▲ ● ▼
The U.S. is turning predator.
And so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies.
I've been foreign minister.
I know how to do that.
That's why I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark, which is also being threatened, and our European NATO allies.
I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons, and I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when the United States can be a threat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And we have the full quote right here.
So let me just point this out.
As she's like a Canadian MP, I think, parliamentary House of Commons, something.
So she's been getting roasted quite a bit.
But let me just say, a Canadian politician has said the U.S. is turning predator and the U.S. may be a threat.
So they need to align themselves with France and Britain who have nuclear weapons.
Yo!
She's talking about setting up a nuclear alliance against America.
Oh, Canada, what are you doing, man?
Bro, Canada, come on.
Well, the Five Eyes Spy Club is going to break up.
That's exciting news for me.
You guys know what that is?
So you got Canada, the UK, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
That's the Five Eyes Spy Club.
Let me tell you what this is all about.
You may be saying to yourself, you know, I live here in these United States and my privacy is secure because I got that there Fourth Amendment that says I am protected from unreasonable search and seizures by the U.S. government.
I'll tell you what.
Okay, so the U.S. government sits there and goes, dang, because of the Constitution, we can't spy on Americans.
First of all, they did it anyway.
The NSA is mass spying on everybody.
Everything you've ever done, they've spied on it.
Congratulations.
They're looking through your browser history.
They can't really use it because if they bring it up in court and prove they're doing it, it would first of all be thrown out to be a major scandal, but they want to do it anyway.
Now, if they find you doing something really wrong, you know, not just your browser history, they'll find a way to discover the wrongdoing.
So let's say you look up some really dangerous chemicals or something.
The NSA knows you're doing it.
They get flagged.
They're going to then...
Accidentally discover that you were doing something.
They're going to find an informant or justify some way outside of the actual way they found out so they can stop you.
Yeah.
Now, let's say they want to go after you for political reasons.
Well, how do you do it?
That gosh darn constitution sure does get in the way.
The United States will allow the other four members of the Five Eyes Spy Club to spy on your data.
That's right.
So the UK, Canada.
Australia or New Zealand would be intercepting American telecommunications because it's perfectly legal for a foreign country to be spying on you.
I mean, perfectly legal.
It's outside of our jurisdiction.
Then the UK can provide the information intelligence gathered to the Americans and clean it.
So that pesky Fourth Amendment ain't going to get in the way when a foreign intelligence agency says we have legitimately collected this data by our own means and we provide it to you.
The U.S. then says our intelligence partners provided us with evidence that this individual had been doing certain negative things and bad things and that launders the spying to bypass our constitutional rights.
It does seem like with what she's saying.
The sentiments among Canadians and other NATO allies that Five Eyes Spy Club is in trouble and Trump may no longer play ball.
We will see.
Now, I'm not entirely convinced Donald Trump is some comic book villain, or I should say this, I am not convinced in the slightest that Trump is some comic book villain who's going to burn this country down.
What I mean to say is I'm not entirely convinced that Trump is going to operate perfectly without any kind of problems.
So, to clarify.
Trump is not some fascistic comic book villain.
He's doing a pretty good job.
He's got his mindset and he's bringing about tremendous changes.
He has exceeded my expectations.
But I do not believe that we will be without some turmoil and some failures and some problems.
Trump is not perfect.
Not everything is 5D chess.
The economy ain't doing too well right now.
People are looking at higher prices.
The market took hit off these tariffs and people are upset about it.
Me?
Easy for me to say weather the storm.
That's what I was talking about the opening of the story.
Easy for me to say we're going to weather the storm, guys.
It's not going to be so easy for the American people.
Trump has got only a little bit of time to try and move through this because the American people cannot withstand the brunt of a major economic crisis.
And predictions of recession are starting to go up.
So I say Trump, he's got to get a handle on this one.
Now I want to throw it to our good friends on the Democratic side.
And throw it to our good friends.
Here's John Oliver.
John Oliver sounds off on Trump calling Zelensky not grateful enough for U.S. support.
He's a president in the middle of a war, not a toddler opening a present from MIMA. Why are these people so predictable?
Who is John Oliver?
Why is he telling the American people to get behind a foreign president instead of our own?
This is the craziest thing.
And I think it shows you these people are intended to destroy this country.
If you went back 50 years, could it have ever been that on TV they'd be advocating against our president and our president's agenda?
Absolutely insane.
John Oliver weighed in, blah blah, I don't really care that much.
He said, this is going to be great television, I will say that.
I'm sorry, this is, what is this?
Despite the conversation going off the rails, Trump in a nod to his roots said it's going to be great television.
Oliver said that depends.
Is watching the president-ish on a weaker ally, Ukraine is not an ally of ours.
Okay, I'm going to make sure this is clear.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ukraine is not an ally.
Alliances, that's what an ally means, are formal treaty agreements.
There is none with Ukraine.
They are some random foreign country we had been courting and asking if they wanted NATO and the EU, not even the US. They are not an ally.
We have no treaty alliance with them or anything like that.
Okay, so stop.
This is the lies.
The lies they play.
A weaker ally for not wanting to be conquered while his goon VP tries to see if he can wrap his lips around his boss's arsehole from a neighboring cough good television?
Sure.
I'd argue it's more hit your TV with a hammer until the pain stop television, but reasonable people can disagree.
Explain.
Explain your emotional state, John Oliver.
Why do you care about Zelensky in any way?
Who is he to you?
What does he provide?
Why do you care so much?
They've not given one.
You want to come to me and say, because he is being attacked by Russia, and I'm like, okay, shall we, let me pull up a list of all nations.
Let's do this.
Let's see if we can pull this up.
Give me a list of countries currently fighting Russia.
Let's see what we can find.
I probably should do a list of jurisdictions or regions or whatever.
The only direct armed conflict right now...
Is Ukraine.
However, they say that while other nations are directly fighting, many other countries are providing direct aid to Ukraine.
Conversely, Russia has received report from Belarus, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
So let's try this.
Is Russia involved in any, let's say, kinetic conflict outside Ukraine?
Maybe it's not.
Let's see.
Searching the web.
I'm using our good friend ChatGPT, which is really slow.
Let's see.
Syria.
Oh, many.
Okay.
Africa.
Interesting.
2024, Russia established the Africa Corps, government-controlled paramilitary group.
They are actively involved in military operations in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Libya, the Central African Republic.
Providing military support and training.
Interesting.
Wow.
So they're heavily involved in Syria and Africa.
That was kind of obvious, the Syria one for sure.
So, okay, okay.
John Oliver, can we have you put on TV any sympathies for any of these African nations that are currently in conflict with Russia?
That the people in these countries where these African nations are being trained and armed by Russians?
No?
You don't care about any of these other countries?
Don't get me wrong.
There's not a whole lot.
Let's talk about Syria.
You want to come out here and talk about ISIS and the Syrian civil war and Bashar al-Assad?
Oh, that one's not in the spotlight today.
My point is this.
There's no reason for us to be so fixated on Zelensky and Ukraine.
The only reason, of course, is that it aligns with the deep state agenda.
The bureaucratic state wants the war.
Trump is in.
The deep state is out.
It's being dismantled.
Ukraine's done.
It's over.
We don't care.
We never did.
Afghanistan, don't care.
Trump famously called out George W. Jeb Bush saying, your brother lied and got us in this war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The American people don't want it.
I'm sick of it.
Why is John Oliver, who is foreign-born TV personality, advocating that we get involved in Europe's war?
I tell you this, my friends, and I'll say it again.
It is not wrong for someone like John Oliver.
Or someone from Haiti to advocate in this country for what they want.
Let me clarify that for you.
The story, the analogy that I give, or the story, whatever you want to call it.
A guy has a farm.
Big, open, empty space in the middle of nowhere.
And he and a couple of the people from the surrounding counties say, let's build a baseball field.
So they all pitch in and they do.
20 years later.
You know, let's say 10 years later, this guy has a family, has a young son, and he brings the kid to the baseball field where they watch baseball games and they play baseball together.
That kid grows up some 20 years later, more houses, more people, the population's expanded.
He has a kid.
He and his neighbors bring that kid to the baseball field and they play baseball every day.
20 years later, it's become a bustling little suburban...
You know, community.
There's now thousands of people who live here, and this beautiful baseball field, which has been there now for 50, 60 years, and that third-generation kid brings his son.
But he shows up and he says, man, baseball field's falling apart.
You know, the fencing is all getting torn down.
This place is old.
The sign's been ripped off.
We should revitalize this.
We all play baseball here.
So he goes to the City Hall meeting.
And he says, I propose that we allocate X amount of dollars to revitalize the old community baseball field.
You know, my grandfather, at this point, my great-grandfather, he built it for my grandpa, who played there with my dad, who played there with me, and I want it for my son.
And I think we should all agree, because we've had great events there, we should allocate these funds.
Everybody from the community.
Cheers and waves their hands in the air and says, praise be, let's fix up the baseball field.
And then the city council meeting says, all right, let's put it to a referendum.
All in favor of allocating town community funds to revitalize our old baseball field.
Everybody from there raises their hands.
And then all of the Haitian migrants who were brought there by Joe Biden keep their hands down and vote nay.
And then they slightly outnumber the community members.
And they say, OK, that's democracy.
These people who are not from here, but let's say they were born here.
Their parents came here through Biden, had kids.
Those kids are here now, born in America and voting and saying, what do we care about a baseball field for?
And these people say, when my parents came here, they were starving and had nowhere to go.
We should be building a migrant welcome center so that my family, when they come and I bring them over, have a place to go.
They all cheer.
And that's what they build.
Are they wrong to advocate for that?
Absolutely not.
They're advocating for their families, and that's what they do.
But this is the problem.
Why were these people thrust upon this community that was building something that a great-grandfather built for his kids to hope for them to have a better future, and now it's fallen to disrepair, and a new community who just arrived says, you are not our interest, and we can now outvote you.
I bring this up to say, John Oliver, Who's a European guy who moved to America, is always going to have interests aligned with Europe no matter what.
And it's not because he's a bad person.
It's not because he's wrong.
It's because of the simple fact of nature.
That is, he has friends and family who live in Europe.
He is deeply concerned about them.
Americans largely do not and are not concerned with spending our money on the UK. So John Oliver, who moves to the United States, presumably becomes an American citizen.
Tremendously respect all of that.
He is not wrong to say America should spend hundreds of billions of dollars to defend Europe because that's where his mind comes from.
It's where he cares about things.
It's the history he remembers.
He did become an American.
That's fine.
But the point I'm bringing up is people will always advocate for their friends and their family.
So the American people largely who built this nation, whose ancestors built this nation, are saying, we don't want to fund your wars.
And this guy who literally moved here from there and hasn't been here that long is saying, but things that I care about are over there and I don't want them to be destroyed.
And thus, he will advocate the U.S. spend money on European interests.
The same is true from anybody from Guatemala or Honduras.
It is not wrong of an individual to advocate for their friends, their family, and their home.
The problem is when they come to the United States and then advocate that we now use our resources for their home.
Therein lies the problem of mass migration.
It is not a moral problem.
It's simple math.
So when John Oliver wants to come out and advocate for this country, for one, let's be real, he's largely just pandering to Democrats.
But when he comes out and he makes this advocacy, understand this is a threat.
To the nation built by our ancestors.
Our founding fathers did not want us entangled in foreign wars.
And now, as we have mass migration, you will have people advocate for their home countries.
That is the reality of where we're at.
Now, currently, tariffs just hit.
And this is going to be very interesting in how this plays out.
Already the market has taken a big hit.
I think the, let's just pull up the Dow.
Dow Jones is currently down 1.7%.
As of today, and we can pull up the NASDAQ. Let's see what NASDAQ's at.
1.45.
It's not the apocalypse, but the market has been taking quite a bit of a hit over the past month or so since the tariff play has come into effect.
So the tariffs are now in play.
We have been.
The United States hit with reciprocal tariffs.
Rand Paul.
I'm a big fan.
Big fan.
Let's pull up.
I want to pull up Rand Paul's tweet and show you what he's bringing up in this one.
Let me see if I can grab this here.
Rand Paul.
Where's he at?
Let's grab that.
What is this?
Let's see what we got here.
Rand Paul.
I got his tweets right here.
U.S. tariffs inevitably bring Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese tariffs, which means higher prices for lumber, steel, aluminum, and more expensive homes and cars.
Retaliatory tariffs lead to lowered U.S. farm exports, lowered bourbon exports, and less international spending.
Tariffs are taxes, and if you tax trade, you'll get less trade and less prosperity.
I disagree.
With all due respect, I'm a big fan of Rand Paul.
Let me tell you, my friends, tariffs right now are a necessity.
We are not producing our own lumber, steel, and aluminum at large enough numbers to maintain our own economy and our own country, thus making us dependent on Canada, Mexico, and China, which we should not be.
So I have an idea.
How about...
Instead of spending $350 billion on Ukraine, we invest in incubating and seeding lumber.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼
You're exactly right, Sean.
When the Ukrainians came to Washington...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
That is inappropriate, X, that you autoplayed that.
You should not do that.
I'm going to mute you.
That was inappropriate.
Anyway, I digress.
Where was I? How about this?
Tariffs can raise prices only if you don't produce these things.
So if we're importing lumber, steel, I mean, lumber?
Are you kidding?
From Canada?
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Canadian rock, maple.
Guys, we can plant our own trees.
Start planting trees now.
Forest regrowth for forest harvest.
It can be done.
Lots of space.
It's work, but we should do it.
If Trump puts a tariff on Canada and they say, OK, now your lumber is going to be 25 percent more expensive because it comes from Canada.
Canada then has to compete with American lumber costs.
And if American lumber is cheaper, Canada is going to have to eat it.
And if they can't, they're going to stop selling.
And if the demand keeps going up, then American companies will fill that gap.
The price may go up, but this will expand the US economic activity, create new jobs.
I largely think tariffs are a good thing.
The idea that we would allow our manufacturing and production base to be outsourced to Canada, Mexico, and China is insane.
And now look where we are, dependent on those countries.
And they're not very nice.
Not very nice.
So, cry more, I guess.
Now don't get me wrong, my friends.
It's easy for me to say, I get that.
And that's why I brought up what I did.
I am not ignorant of the fact that...
The average working person is going to be negatively hit by effects on the market.
That's why I say Trump has to get this one under control quickly.
Not an easy fight.
Immigration he solved, that was a big issue.
But will he be able to solve for the economy?
I don't know.
He's got to end the Ukraine war and stop that hemorrhaging of cash.
Doge is doing a great job getting the spending down.
That's going to do tremendous.
Energy is how we get costs down.
So Trump wants to bring the prices down.
There's two things.
And the Democrats and the liberals, man, they're just lying, okay?
Because Trump said this before the election.
Either we get the prices down or we increase buying power so we're under-levered.
Under-leveraged?
He said under-levered.
What that means is if everybody is making more money, But the price of goods is staying about the same.
Then technically, prices are going down.
They're not really going down, but buying power is increasing for the American people.
So it's a comparable effect.
This is what many Democrats don't seem to understand when it comes to the minimum wage.
They don't understand that the number for your money is not what's relevant.
It is the buying power of your dollar.
How much can you get for one dollar is the question that needs to be asked.
And right now the problem is inflation outpacing wages.
What we need is for wages to outpace inflation.
That's one of the proposed solutions Trump had.
So when they come out and they say Trump's done nothing for the economy, that's a lie.
Trump is doing tremendous things in an attempt to control inflation and get interest rates down and try and improve the economy.
Whether or not he's successful is another story.
If you want to come to me and say Trump has made an effort, but it's not working, I say, Fair point.
Fair point.
The economy is not doing so well.
I agree.
It's only been a month.
I know people are hurting.
Let's try and figure this one out.
Instead, Democrats are coming out and saying Trump isn't even trying.
That's a lie.
Doge is a massive effort in this regard.
We're going to grab some super chats and rumble rants.
So smash that like button, my friends.
Share the show with everyone, you know.
Comment, of course.
One of the most powerful things you can do is comment.
And let's see what y'all have to say.
This is an important one here.
Riding with Ryan says, Our son is only one month old in the hospital with the flu, not asking for money but asking for a prayer.
Due to financial issues, I unfortunately have to be on the road working.
Please pray for our son Tristan.
I am very sorry to hear that.
I hope your son is okay.
This is the thing right now for me as a new dad with a very, very young newborn.
One of the biggest concerns we have is, you know, we're keeping the baby away from everybody and limiting contact because there's the flu going around and other illnesses, and newborn baby can't get sick.
So we're taking this very, very seriously.
But, you know, there's only so much you can do.
There's only so much you can do.
But I wish you the best, my friend.
Hopes and prayers for your son, Tristan, man.
That's horrible.
I hope everything's okay.
Porkchopolis says, I just put butter on a Pop-Tart.
unidentified
It's so freaking good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
We did, I put butter on a strawberry Pop-Tart, but I just realized that the brown sugar cinnamon with butter is probably going to be the best.
I have stopped eating Pop-Tarts, okay?
As a gag, we bought a bunch of Pop-Tarts.
We're going to film a video.
Yo, I bought an ice cream maker.
I got this thing.
It's called like the Ninja Swirl.
Yo, Instagram advertisements and I will buy it.
I got an advertisement on Instagram for exoskeleton legs.
It's a belt that straps around your legs and to your thighs, and it increases your quad strength by 40%.
I'm like, let's go!
I'm going to lift heavy things.
And then they have a...
Dude, this is so cool.
Exosuits are coming, baby.
They have a back brace suit for people who work in warehouses, and it increases your back strength by like 40%.
It takes the load off of your spine.
Crazy stuff they got.
And what we need now is a calf ankle strength booster.
I know you can do it.
I'm probably going to destroy it.
I got an ad on Instagram and it was like exo legs.
I forgot what it's called.
Hyperflex or something.
I don't know.
But it's going to be epic.
And there's a video of a guy running and jumping.
So we're going to try that one out.
But anyway.
I got this ice cream maker.
You freeze any liquid, like anything.
So we're going to freeze cherry juice, and then you turn on sorbet, and it shaves it and mashes it until it turns into sorbet, and then you pull a lever and it just comes out.
So excited.
What am I talking about?
I don't know.
Having fun.
Somebody told me ads don't work, and I'm like, bro, ads work.
Okay.
I bought an ice cream maker.
So excited.
But yeah, we're gonna make Pop-Tart ice cream sandwiches.
But I swear I'm done.
Pop-Tarts are not good for you.
Sorry, Pop-Tarts.
You got the best thing ever, but can't eat them.
Spicy Llama says, Tim, have a wonderful day.
Just ate some Waffle House.
So yummy.
Oh, I love Waffle House, dude.
Waffle House is like the best worst thing ever.
It's just, they have real eggs.
So when they make the eggs, it's good.
But the cheese and the meat's like, but it's still really good.
Now, McDonald's is awful.
I won't eat that, but Taco Bell is also great, okay?
I'm going to make a list.
Everybody agrees, okay?
It's like, of the fast food restaurants, there's the places that you dare not venture to, which is like Long John Silver's.
A&W is fine, and we got an A&W Long John's combo.
A&W and Dairy Queen are okay, but who dare eats Long John Silver's?
Sorry, Long John Silver's.
I don't know what's going on.
Fast food fish don't sound too good, except for the Filet-O-Fish.
Which is delicious.
But I'd put McDonald's way at the bottom.
Burger King's barely above.
Wendy's a little up there.
Taco Bell, probably not that great, but it's so good.
It just tastes great.
I love Taco Bell.
What are their fast food restaurants?
Chick-fil-A's like number one, basically.
In terms of probably, actually, no, I think Five Guys.
Five Guys is a little bit more expensive than just regular fast food, but it is fast food.
But they use peanut oil.
They do have pretty good ingredients.
To be fair, if we're talking about just like chain restaurants, Papa John's legit has the best ingredients.
Not an exaggeration.
I looked into it.
You look at like pizza, they put Splenda, fake sugar sweeteners in their crust.
Papa John's, the ingredients are like flour and yeast.
Impressive.
Good stuff.
Let's see what we got over on those Rumble Rants.
All right.
K. Dan's music says everyone needs to call, email or tag on X or IG the White House.
Rick Scott and DeSantis.
Piker needs to be charged.
Don't let that loser get away with calling for the death of a senator.
I mean, this is crazy stuff.
Um, Hasan Piker, it's a big story, got suspended from Twitch because, I'm not going to repeat what he said, but he did commit a crime, I believe, in calling for people to go and take the life of Rick Scott.
He basically said, if you care about X, you would do Y. Or you will do—I think he said, you will.
You will do Y. And I think if he said would, he might have skirted this, but he said, you will.
And the would is more of like, if he said, look, people who actually cared about this, you'd see them doing this thing.
But he said, you will.
And that's where things get rough, because he was basically— I don't think people understand.
They think they're speaking figuratively.
They're not.
They're literally saying, you know, if someone said, if you really think X about this person, then go commit Y. They might be thinking no one really thinks that, but there are people who think these things.
So if there is someone who genuinely believes that Rick Scott is a criminal who defrauded Medicare and Medicaid, like Hassan said, he basically just told them to go and...
Commit a very serious crime for which he's culpable for the instruction of that crime.
That's crazy.
I can't believe this dude has repeatedly, repeatedly called for these things.

And I'm wondering if Trump's attitude is basically, look, they've been playing games to the economy for so long, a hard correction is in order, and we're going to feel it.
But we will come out on top.
Again, easy for me to say.
We'll see how things roll, my friends.
