Trump STUNS MAGA Fox hosts INTO LONG SILENCE

[0:00] As we speak, Donald Trump's disastrous Iran war is currently, thankfully, on hold after he begged [0:06] Iran to come back to the negotiating table after 13 consecutive days of nonstop bombing. But because [0:13] the midterms are rapidly approaching, the war has gone disastrously, and Iran has enormous leverage [0:19] over Trump, all of the stress and all of the failures are piling up. It's becoming a mountain. [0:25] And so Trump retreated to his refuge, his safe space, Fox News, for what he hoped was a softball [0:32] interview. Unfortunately for him, the MAGA Fox News hosts in question, including Brian Kilmeade, [0:37] they're also worried about the state of the war and the upcoming midterms and the increasing [0:41] probability that Democrats take control of not just the House, but also the Senate as well. [0:47] And so Trump was pressed about all sorts of challenges pertaining to the Iran war, causing [0:52] him to have a bit of a meltdown. He kind of threw Lindsey Graham under the bus. He attacked Israeli [0:57] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, kind of a jab to Netanyahu. He insisted that the war is going well [1:04] and wouldn't answer Kilmeade about who exactly they're currently negotiating with. But then he [1:10] doubled down on a genocidal threat that if things don't go well, he'll just bomb the shit out of [1:15] Iran and its 90 million occupants. So the whole thing was a disaster, and we have to talk about it. [1:21] But before we do, if you end up liking this video and you want to support the channel, [1:25] please be sure to hit the like, subscribe, and alert bells before you go. [1:29] All right, folks. So again, Trump phoned into Fox News. And just to give you like kind of a [1:33] trajectory of where things go, all of these headlines, courtesy of Mediate, Fox News' Brian [1:38] Kilmeade presses Trump and Iran negotiations. Could you tell me who you're talking to? Right? [1:43] Sir, sir, come on. You want to tell me? Huh? Make sure you're talking to somebody who's real? [1:48] Trump casually lays out how he could take out Iran's bridges and power plants in one day during [1:53] Fox News interview. Quote, very easy. By the way, that would be a war crime, right? Civilian [1:57] infrastructure. Trump tells Fox News he scolded Netanyahu for airing Iran intel, quote, to the [2:04] world. Quote, I don't need Bibi to tell me what's going on. So again, he feels very emasculated, [2:09] I think at the moment, very insecure. And then, quote, Lindsay liked war. Trump notes Graham's penchant [2:15] for conflict during a Fox News interview. So again, just to give you a snapshot of where [2:19] things go throughout the course of this conversation. So I want to make sure these [2:24] are in the proper order. But let's start actually, let's start with this clip here. Okay. So this is [2:32] Brian Kilmeade, MAGA Fox News host, trying to press Trump for some more information, some clarifying, [2:38] reassuring information about the state of diplomacy and the state of negotiations. [2:42] War in Iran. I know you're going to be talking about that today with Benjamin, the prime minister, [2:49] Benjamin Netanyahu. And you're going to be, we hear that you're talking right now with leaders [2:54] on Iran. But Iran has come out publicly and said, we're not talking to the U.S. Well, [2:59] they just came out and said, we are talking a little while ago because. So could you tell me who [3:04] you're talking to, Mr. President? For some reason, for some reason, we can be in the midst of a [3:09] beautiful discussion. And they'll come out and say, we're not talking, or we didn't discuss [3:14] nuclear. Well, that's all we discussed because they'll never have a nuclear weapon. They understand [3:18] that. And we have had some very good talks and very interesting with Lindsey. He was very much [3:24] a hawk, as you would say, on Iran. And over the last few weeks, I would say that he became like, [3:30] if you could make a deal, it's better making a deal in this case than just destroying the country. [3:37] We've destroyed most of it, frankly. But somebody that said it's a good time to make a deal. Nice [3:44] time to make a deal. What does a good deal look like? Now, I wouldn't say necessarily he feels [3:48] that way about Ukraine, militant about. I mean, Lindsey liked war, to be honest with you, OK? And [3:56] I said, you're a nice guy. How come you like war so much? He was a guy that liked war. I jokingly [4:03] Warner. Look at how stunned they are. What a beautiful shot. I mean, that's how you know [4:20] these guys are like they are. They're not even second string. They are first string [4:25] MAGA Trump cheerleaders. And you can just see the look on their face. They're devastated [4:30] by this answer. They are terrified by this answer that Trump really doesn't have any sort [4:37] of concrete plan. He can't tell them what a good deal looks like. He can't say who he's negotiating [4:42] with. These people have no confidence whatsoever. Although, again, I do think it's hilarious. [4:46] Lindsey loved war. He loved conflict. Just never speak ill of the day. I mean, honestly, [4:52] to be fair, it's true. Lindsey Graham did love war. I mean, the mock eulogies that Lindsey Graham [5:03] received upon his sudden death, some of them, like Tim Dillon, were genuinely hilarious. I mean, [5:09] probably the last thing he was thinking about are all the people killed in the Iran war. And it [5:15] probably just made his heart flutter one last time before it gave out. I mean, just he really was a [5:20] warmonger, to be sure. And it's funny how Trump constantly makes reference. Trump does these things [5:26] occasionally that are funny because he'll throw warmongers in his orbit under the bus. Like John [5:33] Bolton, his former national security advisor, by the way, whom he is actively trying to [5:38] weaponize the justice system against and go after and punish because he's become a critic of Trump. [5:45] But he was funny because he always said that in his first term, he would bring people like John [5:50] Bolton and Lindsey Graham into the room to scare the hell out of whoever it was he was negotiating [5:54] with. Because he said, as soon as they saw John Bolton and Lindsey Graham, he's like, oh shit, [5:59] the US is going to bomb us. That's darkly funny. But the reality is, I mean, Trump has no plan [6:06] for this war. And it's scaring the shit out of these MAGA Fox News hosts as the election approaches. [6:11] They read the numbers and they saw what the Fox News recent poll, like from Fox News, not from [6:17] Ipsos or the New York Times, but Fox News' own in-house pollsters saying this is going atrociously. [6:25] But let's hear another clip. [6:26] You say that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. There are reports now that Netanyahu is going to [6:32] talk to you about ongoing excavation at Pickaxe Mountain, construction vehicles entering and [6:39] exiting tunnels, paving new access roads. Satellite imagery and intel indicates that Iran is actively [6:46] constructing and fortifying Pickaxe Mountain. How will we respond? [6:50] Well, I don't need Bibi to tell me that. Bibi's telling me that because he wants me to stay [6:54] involved. I mean, I don't necessarily. We have the finest because of Space Force. We have the [7:00] greatest cameras in the world focused. We know exactly what's going on. Now I heard Bibi. And [7:06] why didn't you just tell it to me? Why do you have to announce it to the world? I know exactly what's [7:11] going on at Pickaxe. It's not a big problem. We took out their nuclear sites and we'll have to take [7:17] out Pickaxe if we don't make a deal. So Trump is insecure that Bibi, who is terrible, he is a [7:26] warmonger, a war criminal, all these things. But one thing he has on Trump is he's a hell of a lot [7:30] smarter than Trump, right? Corrupt, authoritarian in his own right. I mean, they're very similar in [7:35] temperaments, just that Bibi has Trump by like 50 IQ points, right? Probably double digits, triple [7:40] digits beyond that. So what's funny, though, is at this point, Trump is, I guess, catching on like, [7:47] okay, Bibi is trying to like, handle me, he's trying to manipulate me, he's trying to nudge me [7:54] along these certain corridors. But that's kind of what happened, according to the New York Times [8:00] bombshell reporting, you know, about what happened as far as the genesis of the Iran war and how [8:05] Netanyahu went to the situation room and talked Trump into bombing Iran. Now, again, I want to be [8:11] clear, Trump ultimately is responsible for that, because as an 80 year old man, and the president of [8:18] the United States, he could have said no, like President Biden did, like Donald Trump did during [8:24] his first term, like President Obama did during his two terms, like President Bush did, he could [8:29] have done those things. And instead, he was like, hell yeah, look at what we did to Venezuela, we can [8:33] do the same goddamn thing to Iran. And I think Trump is cognizant of the fact that that has backfired [8:39] spectacularly. So I suspect based on how you're like, I don't know why you're saying this to me, [8:44] why you had to go public with it. Trump is all too aware of the fact that Netanyahu is smarter than [8:49] him. And the perception is that Netanyahu is leading him around like a dog on a leash. And [8:54] he's deeply, deeply resentful. So please, more infighting between those two. Right. But let's [9:00] let's let's cause let's let's hope for more friction, please, between Trump and Netanyahu. [9:06] Fingers crossed. One last clip. President Netanyahu, as you said, you know exactly what [9:11] he's going to say, Mr. President, we got to keep we got to keep this war going. At the [9:16] same time, I know that there are Republican officials in Washington, D.C. who have an eye [9:21] on November and they're going, Mr. President, you got to wrap it up. So you got two different [9:25] messages. Wrap it up. Keep going. Wrap it up. Well, I have a third message because I have [9:30] many Republicans that want me to keep going and go do it. I mean, we pounded the hell out of [9:35] them. They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. Army has been badly, really mortified. So many [9:42] others, you know, you look at their defense, their air. That was the wrong use of the word [9:48] mortified, by the way. Defense, it's gone. All of their radar is gone. Most of their weaponry is [9:53] gone. Most of their manufacturing is gone. And you look and but I have some Republicans that, well, [10:00] why don't we hit them harder? So, you know, it's like at some point. So I have you have a lot of [10:05] competing factions. You have a group of people that wanted to be obliterated in the truest sense [10:12] of the word. Then you have a group that says this is actually a good time to make a deal for them. [10:17] If they don't make a deal, then I go back and I finished a job. But that's going to take them [10:21] forever to rebuild already. It'll take many years to ever rebuild. And if I go back and finish up the [10:28] job, as some people would like, with the bridges, with the very easy, I could take out most of their [10:34] bridges in less than an hour, less than an hour. But, you know, it takes them 10 years to build a [10:40] bridge. Bridges take the longest and power plants a second. I could knock out the power plants within [10:46] one day. All of their power plants would be gone. And I let them know that, you know, with [10:51] negotiations, they said, look, people want me to do that. I think I get almost the same thing out of [10:56] it as doing it. But the problem is they'll never be able to, you know, I think about 91 million [11:01] people without power, without bridges, with that to live. And it's a very, very delicate balance. [11:08] So Trump wants you to believe, like, listen, I could bomb the shit out of him one hour and get [11:13] it all done, get the exact same results as a deal. But it could take one hour and involve lots of [11:18] bombs. I could do it. You do whatever I want. They have no military. They have no defense. They're [11:22] totally helpless. And I know I said unconditional surrender, but now I don't want an unconditional [11:28] surrender because I'm thinking about the 91 million people. Like, all of these things are [11:32] inconsistent because Trump is not only just checkmated on the facts, right, but he needs to, [11:40] like, spew out a bunch of mutually exclusive propositions. So he needs you to believe that he [11:46] wants to make a deal because he's a dealmaker, art of the deal, right? You got to prop up that myth, [11:50] okay? Number two, he also needs you to believe that there's really no need for a deal because Iran [11:55] has been totally obliterated, right? Totally obliterated because he's also, just like he's [12:01] a world-class, the ultimate dealmaker, he's also the ultimate general, right? And so he's crushed [12:07] them militarily, right? Also, at the same time, they're enough of a threat that we have to have [12:13] a war against them, right? Because you only go to war against people when they pose a threat to you, [12:21] right? At least that's how you would pitch it in a democracy, given that democracies generally don't [12:25] like war. So in order to try to justify, we can't have them have a nuclear weapon. They're [12:29] dangerous. So they still have to be enough of a threat to justify the war, but also they don't [12:36] have a nuclear weapon. They can never have a nuclear weapon because we took care of that last [12:39] year, but also maybe they could, right? They can't, but maybe. There's no way in hell, but what if there [12:46] was? And so, again, these Fox News hosts understand all of that, and they also understand that the American [12:52] people have caught on and they're like, you're just lying. You're just straight up lying about [12:56] all of this. You're so desperate for an exit ramp, an off ramp. And there isn't one, which by the way, [13:03] after 13 days of, again, consecutive bombing, it was Trump who reached out to Iran to quietly beg them [13:10] for another round of ceasefire talks. It's not because Iran is as militarily powerful as the United [13:17] States. It's because their leveraging of asymmetric tactics, asymmetric strategy, asymmetric warfare [13:24] has enabled them to beat Trump. And with the midterms approaching, his margin for error and his [13:30] ability to find an off ramp, he's rapidly approaching a cliff and he's looking like he's [13:35] heading for a cliff and he's looking desperately for some sort of off ramp to get away. And this is [13:40] a mess of his own making. Those Fox News hosts, the reason they're all stunned in stunned silence and [13:45] where they're trying to nudge Trump, wrap it up before the midterms. What's your plan? Who are [13:48] you negotiating with? It's because Trump is desperate. So really bad performance. We'll [13:54] probably revisit this interview because he also was pressed about the economy that merits its own [13:58] video. But in the meantime, let me know what you think in the comments.
