Trump’s TOP Advisors FINALLY CONFESS and BLAME EACH OTHER!!
The gloves are off and Donald Trump's. so-called top advisers are all turning. against each other. The former advisers. who have been pushed out of the regime. are talking about how current envoys and. advisers are basically destroying. America's credibility. I mean, you've. got Keith Kellogg, one of the former top military leaders. He had a top position during Donald. Trump's first regime and now he was. supposed to be the envoy to Ukraine and. Russia, but Putin told Donald, "I don't.
want him as the envoy in Russia. I just. want Witkoff cuz I can manipulate. Witkoff and Witkoff say Putin. bootlicker." And so, you had Kellogg. just become the envoy to Ukraine. Basically, he's out there saying, "Look, Witkoff and Kushner are horrible. They. don't know what the hell they're doing. They're like crooked real estate people. and they're viewing. being envoy as like doing real estate. deals, which is not how you can look at. any of these things like some real. estate transaction." And then, Keith.
Kellogg, who was once, he's no longer. Donald Trump's envoy to Ukraine, but he. was like the top guy in Ukraine who I. was saying, by the way, was not going to. make it past the year. No, he did not. make it past anywhere close to a year, by the way. He's saying to Europe as we. approach the NATO summit, he's like, "Look, just ignore the US, ignore what. Trump says to the rest of the world, ignore Trump's words, ignore what his. advisers say. And what Kellogg seems to. suggest is well as, you know, at the.
institutional level, we still have. people in the military and in NATO and. we still have some people who are going. to. try to hold back the Hegseths and the. Witkoffs and the Kushners and the. Trumps. So, just try to avoid their. rhetoric and let's just try to get. through this together." It's a pretty. astonishing to hear Keith Kellogg, Trump's top envoy, you know, just bash, blast Trump's advisers. He's like, he's. got the worst advisers. I mean, you're.
He's also blasting Trump, by the way. You know, he's he's just too cowardly to. say that. Um, but take a look at what. Keith Kellogg says about Whitcoff and. Kushner right here. >> I think the steep learning curve is with. his advisers. Who's advising the. president? Have you done this before? And when you look at like his. son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and you look. at Steve Whitcoff, who was the envoy to. Russia, what is their diplomatic background? What have they done? They're They sold. real estate. I repeatedly said in.
public, this is not a business deal. Okay, this is conflict, and you have to. understand conflict management and be. understand the nuances of the. relationship with these different. foreign leaders. They've got their view, you need to have your view as as well. And I think try You think you Well, I. can swim by by your own personality, you really can't. And I say that with. Putin, cuz I keep thinking Putin was. former KGB guy. Once a KGB guy, always a. KGB guy. He wants territorial gains as.
well, and and you have to understand. that. I think Europeans do understand. that, cuz they live in the neighborhood. We don't live in the neighborhood. So, sometimes we have to get our advisers to. think. you really don't understand this guy or. his way of doing business. You know when. I was first the. the deputy national security or the. national security adviser of the vice. president Pence, I brought her the woman. who was very. very understood Putin. Her name was. Fiona Hill. She was very liberal. I. said, "Don't worry, Fiona, you're not.
going to be getting anywhere near the. Fiona Hill Oval Office, but I wanted to. understand Putin. You need to help me. understand Putin, cuz if I'm going to. advise the president, I need to get your. view.". So, I had to kind of I can. kind of park it in my brain what we're. talking about. And I stay in constant. contact with her, cuz I had you're going. to be my my gut check. Am I right or am. I wrong? And so far I've been right. >> And then he goes and says why the Alaska. summit with Putin was like such a. failure, too. He's like, you know, Putin. thought he was going to be getting this.
land. It's like Donald Trump's advisers. were like telling Putin, we got your. back, and then Putin showed up and there. was really nothing we could deliver. Like we weren't prepared so So it was. just kind of frozen and then Putin. walked out and they tried to act like it. was normal, but like Putin walked out of. that. Watch what Keith Kellogg, the. former envoy, has to say. Play this. clip. >> And I said repeatedly to him, some of your advisers said to the. Ukrainians, well, if you just give up.
land in Donetsk province. I said, they're not going to do that. They They. won't happen. If they want that land, they, the Russians, they're going to. have to fight for it. And then let the. best team win on the ground. And I don't. think they've got the combat capability. to really close the deal. And the reason. why in Donetsk they don't want to give. up that land, it's a last true fortified. land before Kharkiv, which is your. second largest city. So they're not. going to give it up voluntarily. We. pressed, you know, Putin came into.
Alaska thinking we had an agreement with. the Ukrainians to to give up land. No, they don't. We I don't know who advised. him to say that. Uh some of his advisers. may have gotten that and maybe they. relayed that to Putin. So that's the. reason why in Alaska Putin came in with. one feeling, we left with another. Remember in Alaska, they left before their formal lunch. They just walked out the door. I saw. that happen in Singapore with Kim. Jong-un. Same thing. What you heard is. not what you actually saw. So it's a.
long answer to a short question. Ukrainians are doing better. Ukrainians. are doing better and I think the. president sees that and I think now the. adjustment will be made. Remember, there's a very strong support for. Ukraine in in. the Senate and the House of. Representatives and you get into the. hardwoods well. Don't think what's. happening here in Washington, D.C., which could be a swamp unto itself, and. to think what's happening in holistic in. the rest of nation. >> And this is more from Keith Kellogg on. what a disaster that Alaska summit was.
>> I believe the Russians came in and. probably and I'm not going to get into, you know, the actual substance of the. meeting because that was between Putin. and and and President Trump, but we were. on a phone call at like 2:00 in the. morning getting the readout from it. I. think the Russians came in thinking one. thing and the US came in basically. saying that they're kind of. well, we're going to leave it neutral. and see what happens. And when they. realized the Russians realized they. weren't going to get what they wanted, which was the United States to say to. the Ukrainians, well, as if you just.
give up the rest of Donbas Oblast, this. thing could be over. No, it won't. And I. And I repeatedly told them that. So, I. think what happened is the Russians went. home thinking, well, that's where you. hear it right down Lavrov speaking, well, the spirit of Alaska, wrong. And I. think what They both agreed to disagree. So, what do I think came out of it? Just. a meeting. Nothing really came out of. it. I will say though that there were. some. visuals that were deliberately done, like the flyover or going down that that.
row of fighter jets and everything else. kind of telling, you know, President Putin, you know, we're. we're pretty strong military and we can. tell what to do. But. I I don't think anything was agreed to. when they came out of that meeting. >> And then Keith Kellogg says, just ignore. This was his message to the world. Ignore Trump's advisers. Ignore Trump. Just you need to take the lead here. America's not a world This is what goes, America's not like a world leader. anymore in anything relating to Europe.
or in the Middle East. Just take. control. You're playing Just think about. that. The guy is now reduced to saying, and he's right in the sense of saying, you can't rely on us." But it's just his. advice going into this NATO summit in. Turkey is you just got to deal with it. yourself. You're play this clip. >> And then by the way, I like Meloni. She's really good. And what she said is. correct. I mean, it's. sometimes we're getting with his. advisers or you got to make sure that. you prep the president for saying. things. He has a.
kind of a. a drift towards saying things right off. the cuff and then goes, "Oops." Later on. come back and try to re- reframe that. Uh. And I I think. he's got a bent towards Europe but the. prioritization is right now they're. prioritizing Latin South America. They. do Venezuela and Cuba. Right now we're. involved in the Middle East as well. Uh. and understanding that situation we've. got and sort of saying to the Europeans. like and I've said this to Ruda as well, Secretary General of NATO, "You guys are.
stronger than you think. You're better. than you think." Yeah, I said it. repeatedly. It's not bad for the. Europeans to say, "Why don't you just. take a backseat, okay? You're worried. about a nuclear brawl. That's the big. thing to worry about. Let the French. handle that." He started to step up and. do that. Macron started to say say that. You know, he's got four nuclear uh. SSBN submarines out there. Four nuclear submarines can destroy the. freaking world. Uh. and I think. if he's been willing to do that, he'll. give a nuclear umbrella to Europe then. the rest of Europe can develop and.
actually provide the support. understanding that the the Russians have. provided strong support for Ukraine. against the Russians as well. So, I. think it's just a prioritization issue. There's enough people out there that can. say, "Well, sir, we need to think about. shifting towards the Pacific." We have. started tried We've tried to do that for. almost 30 years. And I think we need to. consider China. China's an adversary. That doesn't mean adversary doesn't. necessarily mean enemy. But I think we. have to address that and we only have so. many resources we can do that with.
because our military is downsized as. well. Not to the degree of what have. like the British or somebody else. But. the fact is we have to prioritize what's. out there right now. And sometimes they. said, "Look, you can't ignore the rhetoric that you. hear. You kind of put it in the back of. your mind with what's actually happening. on the ground and elsewhere. Like. Congress is in full support of what's. happening in Europe as well as Ukraine. and kind of let it go there instead of. taking a personal umbrage at the at the. incident. Think of the long-term game.
What's going to happen long-term? >> Oh, by the way, hat tip to the fine. folks over at TVP World for this. interview. I think they did a fine. interview over here with Keith Kellogg. It's just astonishing Keith Kellogg's. answers right here. And then they go on. to say um. over here, um Europe, uh. this is what this is what the US envoy. says. Tell us, Europe, that the United States. needs to take a backseat. The US will. take a backseat while you take control.
Here, watch what he says in this in this. pretty powerful interview, I think. >> My advice to them and the rest of us is. say the Europeans take it and tell the. United States instead of the front seat, take a backseat and and we've got this. one in our backyard. This is our in our. interest. And I understand what you're. saying. But this we've got to lead. You don't. have to lead. Thank you very much. That. in itself is very telling because you do. have the capacity and you do have the. capability to do it. What what Ukraine. relies on the United States primarily.
for is our overhead and our technology. that that we've seen in the battlefield. And the weapons are pretty darn good. We. proved that in in Iran as well. We were. able to punch through other air defense. Uh they've got certain technology that. we can beat. We know we can beat it. So, the the buying the American gear is. because you're buying first-class gear. That doesn't mean the Europeans don't. have first-class stuff. You look at. Swedish fighters coming in, the Gripen. That's a first-class fighter. But only. certain nations have a generation five. stealth fighters. The Americans do, the.
Chinese do, the Russians do as well. So, you that technology is going to come to. you eventually. And and I I keep. pressing Europeans, why don't you have. co-production? Keep pressing that issue. Uh and I think what what you're. If I was giving a template to the. Europeans, just tell the president, you know, we've. got this. This is in our backyard. Thank you very. much. Cuba's in your backyard, we're not. going to interfere. Ukraine's in our. backyard, this is our business. And I. think that would be a very.
scene-setting discussion to have with. the president to say, "America's going. to be there, but we're taking primacy. for this, not you.". >> As he was saying this, you have Russia's. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergey. Lavrov, put out the following statement. as well. "Before the Alaska summit, Steve Witkoff brought proposals from. Donald Trump to Moscow. They were. discussed in Alaska and accepted by the. Russian side. Now, Rubio and now Kellogg.
and now others say there were no. agreements. That's not particularly. elegant. Now, it should be noted, according to the book Regime Change by. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Steve. Witkoff sought to build a personal. rapport with Vladimir Putin while trying. to negotiate an end to the war in. Ukraine. During a meeting at the. Kremlin, Putin was doodling on a piece.
of stationery and wrote 3 + 2, which reportedly referred to a. territorial framework they had discussed. as part of a possible peace deal. Witkoff asked Putin to sign the paper. and let him keep it so he could keep the. personal handwriting of Putin and frame. it on his. uh office. Putin signed it and Witkoff. later had the note framed. Seriously? And then you can see when. Witkoff was at the.
uh in Switzerland and he had he was. wearing a hundred thousand dollar Rolex. right there with deer in headlights. But. ultimately to me what Witkoff was doing. was he was there to preserve his. business deals and him and Kushner, you. know, you had J.D. Vance and I'm not. trying to give J.D. Vance any credit at. all, but J.D. Vance was there like. typing away trying to come up with after. the 14-point memorandum of understanding. a joint statement out of Switzerland. which talked about Iran being part of.
the deconfliction cell, remember that? That it would be Iran, Qatar, Pakistan. as part of a deconfliction cell in. Lebanon and then Rubio ran and. created the deconfliction cell with. Israel in Lebanon and then gave. additional pilot zones to Israel in. Lebanon in addition to security zones. and tried to undermine the MOU, right? It's total madness taking place right. there, but you had Witkoff over there. like just like. like like flossing his uh his uh his.
hundred and five thousand dollar Rolex. I mean, you know, he was like a crooked. real estate dude who bragged about going. into Harlem with guns to collect rent. That's why Trump likes Witkoff and. that's the guy who's out there, you. know, speaking with Putin and being in. these, you know, conversations. Like you. have Witkoff and Kushner who were there. in Switzerland. You have Michael. freaking Boulos, Tiffany Trump's. husband, was at a major meeting with.
MBZ, the president of the United Arab. Emirates who runs Abu Dhabi. What in the world is going on, folks? I'll just tell you what Professor John. Mearsheimer had to say about Iran, how. they view Witkoff and Kushner. They view. them as Netanyahu's puppets and. Mearsheimer's right. This is how Iran. and others view Whitcoff and Kushner. They're like they're clowns. >> Cuz in the end, we're going to lose. The. lobby and Israel itself are going to be.
outraged by any compromises that we. make, and whoever actually makes those. compromises is going to pay a. significant political price. >> From the Iranian perspective, surely. they know that they're negotiating with. Netanyahu's puppets. >> Oh, absolutely. They've made that clear. That's why they want Vance to come to. the negotiations. They know that Kushner is basically an. Israeli cutout, and that Whitcoff. not only is Whitcoff a Zionist, but he's.
demonstrated quite clearly both in his. negotiations with the Iranians and the. Russians that he's massively. incompetent. So, they don't want to deal. with those two. They want to deal with Vance. And they. did deal with Vance. >> But Donald Trump says that Whitcoff and. Kushner, they're like his Henry. Kissinger, as he says. >> As well as special envoy, I call him. Henry Kissinger who doesn't leak. Cuz Henry was a big leaker. Richard Nixon would beat him. Henry,
somebody's leaking on us. There's. somebody leaking. Henry would say, "We'll get to the. bottom." It was Henry that was leaking. That wasn't good. So, we have Henry. Kissinger better than Henry Kissinger. And he doesn't leak. Special envoy, Steve Whitcoff. Thank you, Steve. >> [applause]. >> Good to have Jared uh. And he and Jared, Jared Kushner, they're. like a team. And boy, I'll tell you, they're a good team. High IQ. This is a. high IQ team. You want to find your high.
IQ people. >> And then, of course, Whitcoff constantly. talks about how much he how how how much. he and Putin get along, and that he. speaks with Ushakov on his own. Here, play this clip. >> can tell you that yesterday on the call. with the president, uh the Russians said. that they have not been sharing. That's. That's what they said. So, you know, we. can we can take them at their word, but. they did just say that. >> And then here's what Woodcock on Putin. says, "Putin never told me anything that.
I thought was dishonest.". >> So, hopefully, you'll be hearing some. good news in the coming weeks. >> Well, a lot of this does boil down to. Vladimir Putin. And I know you've dealt. directly with him. So, first of all, what is that like? And how do you with. this position go into dealing with some. of these adversarial people? >> He's never been anything other than. straight with me. And I say that and I. get attacked, but that's an accurate. statement. He's told me that this is. what his red lines are. You know, Lara, I got attacked for going to meet him.
eight times. How would you make a deal. with someone on the other side unless. you knew where the other person was. coming from? I needed to understand what. his motivations were, his goals, and so. forth. And I actually think that a lot. of those meetings now. are becoming very relevant. We. understand where they are. >> And then finally, I talked a little bit. about this yesterday, but the former. chairman of the Joint Chiefs, C.Q. Brown. Jr., speaking out in a Foreign Affairs. op-ed calling out Donald Trump for.
politicizing the military, comparing. Donald Trump to King George III, and. just as the United States was was. founded and rose up against monarchs. like King George the third, how Donald. Trump is harming the military. by politicizing it and getting rid of. the quality generals and admirals, the. four stars, you know, who are actually.
helping out and moving in less qualified. or unqualified people. You know, that's. kind of what Hegseth is doing. George. Washington himself worried about this. abuse of power and went to great pains. to avoid it in his own career. Throughout the Revolutionary War, he. went on and it goes on to say, he knew. the Republic would suffer in the long. run if the military were to become an. instrument of the commander's will. rather than of the people's political. leaders. When presidents use the armed.
forces for more politically contentious. missions, such as addressing domestic. crimes in cities, the work of military. becomes more fraught. Resorting to a. military solution rather than fixing the. underlying incapacity or dysfunction in. civilian institution diverts the. military from focusing on its primary. combat mission. And as George Washington. knew, it is not the military's job to. save the Republic from political. impasse. Indeed, if you ask too much of. the military, you risk the entire.
enterprise. You risk the entire enterprise. There you have it, folks. Let me know. what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get. to 7 million subscribers and thank you. all so much for watching.
