Hello, good evening, welcome. Actually, good morning and welcome. I am Samuel Trapp.
This is International Flavor. You are listening to DAMN Radio and I'm damn
glad to have you. A lot went on over the weekend. I don't know if you were paying
attention or not, but there was plenty going on. So all the talk over this

(00:25):
weekend was over Trump's new policy plan, foreign policy. There was an
international meeting in Doha. Lots of people, Doha, Qatar, beautiful city. Love it
there. And lived there for a little while. It's a great place to be. If you
haven't visited, you can visit. Did you know that you can fly from, you can get

(00:50):
on American Airlines, fly from Columbia to Dallas, and from Dallas to Doha. One
trip on Qatar Airways. And Qatar is connected with, or Qatar Airways anyway,
is connected with American. And it's a great flight. And Qatar is probably the
number one or number two airline on the planet. They switch

(01:15):
between Emirates Air and Qatar Airways. All their planes are brand new. Their
food is fantastic. The flight attendants are extremely nice. It's not like
getting on American Airlines. Most of the places and getting treated like a piece
of dog meat. You know, they don't, they just don't treat you well here in America.

(01:38):
They do not. But if you take an international airline like Qatar Airways,
Arab Emirates, or Turkish Airlines is always really good. In fact,
Aeroflot is very nice. You know, taking Aeroflot is a good way to go. And that's,

(01:59):
they treat you well. They just treat you well here. It's like you're a
burden to them. You know what I mean? And at any rate, I wanted to talk some about
that international forum, about the Trump plan, because the world
shifted dramatically in Doha, I believe. Anyone paying attention felt the ground

(02:24):
move. You don't need a political science degree. You don't need a Pentagon
clearance to understand what is happening. All you had to do was watch
the way the room reacted to the people that spoke. You had Donald Trump's foreign
policy vision laid out with clarity that nobody expected from Washington. You
had his son explaining the world America is actually living in, instead of the

(02:48):
fantasy land the State Department prefers. You had Tucker Carlson doing what
American journalists gave up doing 20 years ago. You had Hillary Clinton
delivering a sermon that no one believes. And you had
Gulf nations, Russia, India, China, and a lot of Africa, quietly demonstrating that

(03:11):
they no longer take moral direction from the West. Then, just as the dust was
settling, Vladimir Putin delivered one of the most strategically honest
interviews of his career. He sat with India's press, tore down the myths the
West built around him, brick by brick. For anybody that was listening, the message,

(03:34):
the unified message, was simple. The unipolar world of globalists is dead, and
the people who killed it are pretending they don't see it.
Trump's foreign policy document wasn't the ramblings of a man trying to sound
tough. It was a blueprint, a new doctrine, a flat statement that the United States

(03:59):
cannot afford to continue playing world schoolteacher, while its own
foundation rots. It wasn't written in a diplomatic fog or a bureaucratic gibberish.
It was written in plain English. Intentionally so, because I believe
Trump is not speaking to the State Department. He is speaking to the

(04:19):
American people. If you haven't read this, you probably should. It's out there on
the Internet. And to the governments around the world, who are
tired of America using democracy as a pretext for bombing people. He laid out
the real threat. Losing energy advantage. Losing industrial base. Losing

(04:41):
intelligence edge. Losing the borders that define the country of America in
the first place. There's nothing radical in that. It's what every nation on earth
already believes about itself. The only radical thing was that an American
president finally said it. And when Trump Jr. stood up in Doha, well actually he

(05:04):
was sitting I think, and talked about a three-year window to reset global
discourse, he wasn't joking. He wasn't performing. He was acknowledging reality.
America is not atop the mountain giving orders anymore. It's at a table with
competitors who have out-strategized America, out-produced it, out-negotiated

(05:25):
and most importantly outlasted their own patience for America's endless wars.
Trump Jr. looked at a room of Gulf officials, CEOs, diplomats, media figures
and said what half of Washington knows, I say all of Washington knows really, but
they refused to say it either way. America has no moral authority left to

(05:51):
squander, to waste. If it wants to be taken seriously again, it will have to
rebuild itself. And the audience understood this. They were not naive
people. Most of us are not. These are nations that have lived under American
lectures for 30 years, 50, and decided they're not interested in more sermons.

(06:15):
Meanwhile in Russia, Solovyov, the guy I like to listen to and other analysts
were watching all of these events with a sort of amused realism that's been
perfected by the Russian global, let's call it the Russian political class.

(06:36):
They don't see Trump Jr. as a loose cannon or somebody some you know pampered
rich kid taking the temperature of a world, deciding whether America under
Trump is a predictable partner or a destabilizing echo of the Biden
administration. They recognize that Trump's team, unlike Washington's

(06:57):
permanent class, understands energy flow, understands industrial policy, and
understands capital shortage. They also believe that the role of the Gulf in the
next technological century is quite a bit larger than what they're pumping out
in Washington think tanks or New York. They understand something else also.

(07:20):
Trump is the first American president who is not trying to resurrect the
globalist American Empire. That's I'm starting to believe it after reading his
his foreign policy, foreign security statement. He's trying to rescue America
from the Empire's remains, from all the crap that we've done over the last 50

(07:46):
years. And that brings us to Tucker Carlson who was also there and he
delivered one of the most devastating interviews in American foreign policy
history. He sat across from Qatar's foreign minister and unraveled 20-30
years of lies and professional gaslighting. He asked the question no US
network would ever allow out of a producer's mouth. Here's the question.

(08:10):
Isn't it true that the United States and Israel asked you to host Hamas? And when
Qatar said yes, no hesitation, no spin, no winks, they said it plainly. The narrative
the West has been feeding the public about Qatar funding terror collapsed in

(08:32):
a five-second interview. Then Tucker asked about Israel bombing Doha during
negotiations and Qatar confirmed that too and confirmed that Trump demanded
Israel apologize. Think about that. An American president told Israel, the
supposed untouchable partner, to apologize to an Arab nation. Seriously,

(08:56):
think about that. Nothing like that has happened anytime in modern diplomacy. That
alone should have blown up the entire premise of American Middle East policy
if the media had any integrity. So then comes Hillary Clinton on the other hand.
She goes into Doha. I don't know how she got invited truthfully but she was there

(09:17):
and she was being interviewed and she stuck in 1998. She recited the same old
tired crap. She compared Saddam Hussein to the current events in the Middle East.
Good versus evil, wants more weapons, more intervention by the US, more

(09:38):
escalation, and wants to talk about our moral superiority. The room did listen
but nobody believed her and everybody knew it. The Gulf nations have lived
through the consequences of American assertiveness. They saw Iraq collapse,
Libya burn, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Gaza. They don't need a

(10:05):
lecture from the architect of at least half of those disasters. She spoke the
language of the unipolar world again in a room where the unipolar world no longer
exists. The audience, they didn't listen. They were not convinced. Well, they may
have listened but they certainly weren't convinced. And the age of bowing to

(10:28):
Washington's brand of morality has over, I mean, if this showed it, this
is it. Doha revealed something else, the press will never admit. Zelensky was not
invited. That was huge. The world is done performing emotional theater for Ukraine.

(10:49):
Doha was for nations shaping the future, not nations begging for weapons and
scolding the donors of those weapons. Zelensky's absence says everything you
need to know about that. The conflict in Ukraine is no longer a global moral
crusade. It is a European burden, a NATO failure, and an American political

(11:11):
liability. The Gulf sees that, Asia sees that, Africa sees that, Russia sees that.
The only people pretending otherwise are in America. They're the ones who built
their careers, like Hillary Clinton, on the illusion of American superiority. The
Ukraine is the center of world politics right now. That brings us to Putin's

(11:35):
interview in India. And clearest, most unfiltered articulation of Russia's
worldview since 07, when he spoke at the Munich World Conference. He didn't dodge
a single accusation. He didn't deflect. It was a great interview. He didn't sugarcoat.
It was an hour and a half long by Indian press, by the way. He confronted every

(11:58):
Western talking point directly. Are you trying to rebuild the Soviet Union? No,
because it's impossible, undesirable, and stupid. Are you an imperialist? No. And the
people asking that question are the ones who invaded Iraq and destroyed Libya. Are
you obsessed with restoring lost Russian glory? No. I'm running a modern state that

(12:19):
has no interest in absorbing populations that do not want to be absorbed. Do you
want Ukraine? Take it over? No, but I will not allow NATO to set up missile bases
on my border or turn Ukraine into a military colony pointed at Moscow, like
Poland, like the pre-Baltic states. He explained the history of the

(12:42):
region in the way an adult explains things to a child, calmly, factually, no
apologies. Kievan Rus was the origin of both modern Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian
lands fell under Lithuania and Poland for centuries. They rejoined Russia by
request, by the way, not by conquest. Language, religion, culture have been

(13:07):
intertwined for a thousand years. This is not myth. This is history. And when the
interviewer asked about civilians shocked by Russia's actions, Putin asked the only
question that mattered. Shocked by what? He said, who was it that bombed Donetsk
for eight years when nobody said a word in the West? Who banned the Russian

(13:31):
language, he asked. Who shelled schools and homes in the Donbass? It was
not Russia. This war didn't begin in 2022, he said. It began in 2014. And the West
pretended not to notice, because admitting that would reveal who really
destabilized the region. Putin's discussion of NATO was pretty much

(13:56):
equally blunt. Security cannot be built at another nation's expense. Ukraine can
choose its own path, but not if that path puts NATO missiles five minutes from
Moscow. The U.S. wouldn't tolerate Russian missiles in Mexico, and everybody
knows it. The difference is that Russia's honest about its red lines, while the

(14:18):
West pretends it has none. He emphasized something else Western audiences never
hear. Russia doesn't demand special treatment, only that Washington, you
know, when they make their promises, that those promises are honored. NATO promised
not to expand eastward many, many times. It did so anyway. The West broke security

(14:42):
architecture and then blamed Russia for responding to the wreckage America and
company were creating. Putin's remarks in India could not have been more
strategically important, especially about India itself. He outlined a
partnership built on ideology, not on desperation, and on decades of trust.

(15:06):
Are you aware that Russia and India have been partners for a very long time, even
before the collapse of the Soviet Union? Russia is investing in India's refining
capacity long before it has been, way before the start of the Ukraine conflict.
Russia supplies energy to India, defense technology, nuclear cooperation, and

(15:31):
economic opportunity with no moral conditioning. He calls Modi his friend
and he meant it. India is not a pawn to Russia. It is a peer, a partner, a
civilizational power with its own destiny, and the West really hates
this, because we can't control it. You know, he was met on the red carpet by

(15:56):
Modi, and that never happens. Modi does not meet people at the airport, but he
met Putin when he got off his plane. He was on the tarmac with a red carpet
rolled out. Russia and India share something deeper than trade. He was
there for two days, you know, at the same time this Doha thing was going on.

(16:20):
And the release of this Trump plan, I mean, it came out in late November,
but people have only been talking about it for the last few days, this Trump
security plan. You know, basically Russia and India share an understanding, real
sovereignty for each other. They want to pick things, not the American version,

(16:44):
which means you're free as long as you do what we want. You're a sovereign, but
only when you agree with our globalists. India and Russia reject that model, as
you can tell, I mean, from this weekend. It was a pretty big deal. Both nations
have been carved up, manipulated, colonized, pressured, lectured, and

(17:04):
threatened for generations. Both emerged from that experience with the same
conclusion, never again. That is why India buys Russian oil, Russian weapons, Russian
reactors, and has Russian engineers everywhere, and they do this without
hesitation. Why? It's not because Russia's cheap. It's because Russia

(17:27):
doesn't interfere in India's internal affairs. That's what's happening. Russia
doesn't tell India what to think about gender policy, carbon tax, digital
censorship, Ukraine, Gaza, the Taliban, name it, or whatever the latest Western
moral crusade is. They don't accept those lectures. China, Russia,

(17:53):
India, and many, many others no longer will do it, and that was made clear here.
Russia treats India like an equal. The West treats India like a, I don't know, a
rebellious teenager. Which one would you prefer? Which one does India prefer? So in
the interview that Putin was asked why Russia recognized the Taliban, and Putin

(18:18):
responded pretty clearly, Afghanistan has suffered decades of war. Governments have
come and gone, and whether the West likes it or not, the Taliban controls the
territory and are fighting terrorism inside it, and they're doing it more
effectively than the Western installed regimes ever did. He doesn't endorse them.

(18:41):
Who would? He doesn't whitewash them. He simply states a reality. Russia does not
have the right to dictate Afghanistan's internal affairs. Neither does America, by
the way. Russia engages with a government that exists, not the one the State
Department wishes existed. India understands this also. India hates

(19:08):
instability on its own doorstep, and Russia is one of the few global powers
capable of helping maintain balance in the region without exporting its own
ideology. That's a big point, people. We're trying to force another country to
think like you do, like we're doing in Venezuela, by the way. I still disagree

(19:30):
with that, but it seems to have calmed down a little bit. But Putin's definition
of terrorism is another strategic clarity moment. Terrorism is not defined
by slogans, flags, or political motives. Terrorism is defined by the method you
use. If you are harming civilians, you are not a freedom fighter. You are a

(19:55):
criminal, and that is terrorism. The West blurs this line, and it
supports rebels in one country, terrorists, while condemning identical
rebels in another country, depending on whose side the rebels are on. This is
historic, and Putin said it flat out in his interview. It was a great interview.

(20:18):
Russia doesn't play that game, and they really don't. India doesn't play that
game, neither does China. Those two nations understand the price of
terrorism in blood, not in editorials. When he was asked about NATO expansion,
he explained the principle at the heart of every stable security system. One

(20:39):
nation's safety cannot come at the expense of another's. This is not an
invention of Putin or of Russia. It's the foundation of the Helsinki Accords,
European declarations. NATO has broken all of them. For 30 years, Russia has been
warning that surrounding it with US-controlled military infrastructure

(21:04):
is aggression. Washington ignored that, not because they didn't believe Russia,
because obviously they did, but they didn't believe that Russia had the
strength to respond to them, and the West miscalculated. They bet that Russia would
complain and do nothing, like they had for many years. Instead, Russia defended

(21:25):
its own red lines, and now the West claims it was blindsided by a war it
spent years provoking. Putin pointed out something else Western journalists
never mention. Russia has never demanded that Ukraine become a satellite state.
Russia has never demanded control over Ukrainian politics. Russia has never

(21:50):
demanded the right to appoint Ukrainian officials or dictate domestic affairs.
Russia demanded only one thing. Do not let NATO use Ukraine as a forward
operating base. They were consistent about it. They said it all the time. This
is a demand that every major power would have made. The United States invoked the

(22:11):
Monroe Doctrine to justify military action in the entire Western Hemisphere.
China demands the same regarding Taiwan. India demands the same thing regarding
its own borders. Only Russia is told that defending its security is illegitimate. So
when he was being interviewed, he also brought up civilians in Eastern

(22:35):
Ukraine shocked by the war, and Putin dismantled that framework immediately.
Shocked by what, he said. By Russia responding after eight years of shelling
in the Donbass. By Russia intervening after the Minsk agreements, one and two,
were both deliberately sabotaged by the West. By Russia stepping in after the

(22:58):
Ukrainian government banned the Russian language, targeted ethnic Russians, and
deployed ultranationalist battalions in the Donbass. The West expects everybody
to forget that Ukraine's own president admitted on camera that he never
intended to implement Minsk. If you haven't seen that, you should go check

(23:19):
that out. He was even laughing about it. He goes, we never intended to do that, but
they signed it anyway. The entire negotiation process was a stall tactic
according to him, according to Germany, according to France, and they, it was
used to arm Ukraine for war. Russia remembers this. Lugansk, Donetsk, remember

(23:42):
this. The West pretends that it didn't happen, though, and Putin explained that
in his interview. His explanation was not nostalgic. It was
evidence. Western analysts call it a myth because they either don't understand
Eastern European history, or they hope their audiences don't. I do. If you've

(24:03):
ever been over there, I went to Brest. Oh my god, what a place, and watching, you
know, the fortress there was unbelievable, overrun for hundreds of
years, and it was quite the history lesson. Well, not that I didn't know most
of it anyway, but boy, that entire area was run over, including all of Ukraine.

(24:26):
It's unbelievable and very interesting to see that stuff in reality, you know,
checking out history as it occurred. Ukraine was never a single unified state,
never, until the Soviets assembled it, created Ukraine. Pretending it's an
ancient sovereign nation of its own, threatened by Russian imperialism, is a

(24:49):
fairy tale, and it's created for Western audiences, not a historic reality. When
Putin explained where the ancient Rus came from, where the language evolved, how
the land shifted, and why Ukraine is not a modern, simple victim, but a complicated,
very complicated, historical region, he was trying to give a context that the

(25:14):
West refuses to provide, but I do. You know, he did. The most devastating part of
his interview was not his answer about Ukraine. It was what he said about India.
He doesn't speak like a man hoping for diplomatic cover. He speaks like a leader
confident that Russia's future lies not in begging the West for acceptance, but

(25:38):
in partnering with nations that actually matter. Russia, China, India, all the
entire global South. He described India's development as colossal, and it is. It is
unbelievably fast growing right now. He talked about Modi as his friend. He

(26:00):
talked about energy, defense, nuclear cooperation, industrial growth, all as
partners, not as patron and client, like the West does. India wants predictability.
Russia can deliver it, and they have for quite a few years. India wants sovereignty,
and Russia respects that. India wants multipolarity, and Russia is building it.

(26:24):
And Trump's state plan acknowledged this. This is why Western pressure campaigns
have been failing for years. The other, the rest of the world understands
something fundamental about a new global order. Nations outside the West now are
thinking for themselves. They aren't taking orders. They don't fear sanctions

(26:48):
the way they used to. They don't measure morality by what CNN says is moral. They
measure it by their own self-interests, stability, and sovereignty. And Doha and
Putin's interview shows and confirms this for everybody. And the Palestinians
are not the only ones whose tragedy exposes Western hypocrisy. Wait until

(27:14):
Venezuela. You want to see some hypocrisy, check out Venezuela. Ukraine exposes it.
Gaza exposes it. Syria, Libya, Yemen, they all expose this. The West talks about a
rules-based order, but the rest of the world sees a pattern. There are rules for

(27:36):
everybody else, and loopholes for the West to do what they want. When Qatar's
foreign minister said on camera that Qatar would not rebuild Gaza because we
did not destroy it, he wasn't taking a stand. He was pointing out the hypocrisy
of demanding Russian assets to pay for Ukraine's reconstruction while refusing

(28:01):
to demand that Israel pay for Gaza's. That's a big deal. That was in the Tucker
Carlson interview. Tucker caught it instantly. The audience caught it instantly.
Hillary Clinton and the globalists pretend not to notice this. And what made
Doha extraordinary was not the content of the speeches, it was the tone just about

(28:23):
everywhere. It was the way the world responded to American voices versus
everyone else. When Hillary Clinton spoke, the reaction was respectful but
distant. When Donald Trump Jr. spoke, the reaction was curious, engaged, and alert.
And when Tucker spoke, the reaction was electric. And when Putin spoke in India,

(28:44):
the reaction across the global South was recognition. Not agreement with
everything, but recognition that the world's center of gravity has changed. I
wanted to play for you at least the Trump Jr. interview. I think we have

(29:07):
time for it and to get to all of my stuff. I want to get to my history here
and see if I can find it. It's only about eight minutes and here let me see if I
can tee this up correctly because there was a he was introduced and I got to get

(29:27):
to the spot that I wish to be. Damn it, it's not letting me. There we go. And he
there were some pretty good moments in here. Let's see where we start. I'm not
positive where this is starting. Let me see if I can put the the speaking on.

(29:53):
Let's see. They keep there were two people there and they were talking about
the Elon Musk hundred and fifty million dollar fine that the EU gave him.

(30:13):
Meanwhile, in Germany, Frederick Merz has filed five thousand plus charges against
people who bad-mouthed him on social media. That's freedom of speech, isn't it?
And they were talking about that a little bit. This whole interview, damn it,
I don't want this one. I want the one that's only eight minutes long and in

(30:38):
the history here. I got to go to my history to find it because that one's
30 minutes but there were several versions of this that came out and I
can't I can't find it. Let me do a quick search for it while while I babble here
for a minute. So if you type in Trump Jr. Doha, you get quite a few that come up

(31:05):
and here's one. Here it is. This is only nine minutes and so I think we're
gonna get to where he's supposed to be. So let us listen to this and see what we
come up with. Ukraine corruption is out of control and all of that. I mean he was
on a roll that is for sure. So let's hear some Donald Trump Jr. in Doha and he

(31:33):
tore into Zelensky. So listen up here. The last decade but he got there by
being a builder so he understands how to do that. I do also know though that he
understands that the American public isn't going to do what they used to do
for years where we're just going to be the big dumb guy with the checkbook and
we're going to cover all of the world's problems and no one else has to do their
part. I think he can be you know the greatest construction manager in the

(31:56):
history of the world but no one in America wants to bear the entire
responsibility of that. That's happened for far too long. Everyone has their
ideas. Everyone wants to do XYZ. When it comes to actually writing a check and
breaking out their own checkbook, well we're not interested in that. That
changes things. The American public doesn't have the appetite to fund
everything for everyone all over the world with no direct benefit to

(32:19):
themselves. So I think he can be the manager that brings that together but
everyone's gonna actually have to step up and do their part and not just leave
it to the United States to cover everything. Omid, do you think that the
private sector has a role to play when it comes to say the reconstruction of
Gaza? I'm sure. I mean I think that there will probably be an opportunity for the
private sector but also there'll be governments that step up and you know to

(32:42):
help solve this issue. I mean again we're here as business people and our focus is
mostly in the United States though. I want to focus on Ukraine because of
course as you say you're both here in the capacity of business leaders but
you've also been instrumental in shaping the message of the administration. You
talked about Europeans and Europeans are concerned that Ukraine is going to be

(33:06):
abandoned. Are those fears valid? I don't think your Ukraine is going to be
abandoned but I think for years again it was the same thing as the last answer
which is well we want to attack Russia, we want to do this, we want well when it
comes to actually writing a check ourselves no no the US is gonna do it.
The American public doesn't have an appetite for that since the you know since
the invasion of Ukraine I heard major leaders Mitch McConnell the leader of

(33:30):
the Senate in the United States saying it's the number one issue for
Republicans in the United States and I say that's weird I speak to Republicans
all over the country every day probably far more than Mitch has ever spoken to
despite his 379 year career in politics. I did that on a weekly weekly basis and
I surveyed people at every talk I did it got to the point where it's probably well

(33:50):
over 200,000 Americans that I spoke to directly and I'd be in a room like this
and I'd ask is Russia Ukraine a top three issue for anyone in the room?
Nothing. Is it a top ten issue for anyone in the room? I think I got three people
that once said it was a top ten issue three out of hundreds surveyed if

(34:13):
hundreds of thousands every weekend for two years till basically through the
campaign. One person misunderstood the question he thought it was a double
negative one person was actually from Kiev so he was like it was a big deal
for him and the other person was you know I think on the board of Raytheon so
there was no appetite for that but that didn't stop a Republican Party from

(34:36):
saying it's the number one issue it's not and we actually have to listen to
the will of those people so we want peace we want to stop the death but I
even saw that yesterday where you know on this very stage what was the idea for
Europe who is on the border of Ukraine who has much more at stake if this
happens well our plan is to win economically when pressed on the issue

(34:59):
how are you gonna do that well well we're just gonna wait for Russia to go
bankrupt that's not a plan that's not an idea the gentleman from Spain was a
lovely guy saw him last night later on at the forum but Spain was putting in
2.2 percent rather than the 5 percent required by NATO because my father
actually wanted people who are these biggest stakeholders to get into the

(35:21):
game well we feel that our 2.2 percent is being utilized more efficiently and
therefore we're not that's not an answer that's not a solution and again I
understand why they are there because America has set a precedent for decades
that they'll just write the check but if the will of the people isn't there
everyone needs to step up everyone has to do their share and that includes what

(35:44):
what's happening here in the Middle East if we do that collectively we can
get to an answer but if we default to the old ways of America's just gonna be
the big idiot with a checkbook that's not gonna work that's not gonna happen
and you saw what happened my father starts threatening they're gonna pull
out we're not gonna do this anymore because he's listening to the people
that elected him to office big idiot with a checkbook I love that line you

(36:06):
know you know when he tears apart Ukraine it gets even better so we're
gonna continue listening to this because I like it the whole world this is
outrageous it's not outrageous it's common sense when we're bombing drug
boats in the Caribbean people who are literally bringing in fentanyl to
America something that kills a hundred thousand Americans a year okay just for

(36:29):
perspective that's two Vietnam Wars a year in America this I don't like you
can't justify it this way you still need to have some some sort of due process
some sort of tribunal something but and so I disagree with his part the neocon
establishment the Democrats how dare you do this I mean that's a far greater

(36:50):
clear and present danger to the United States than anything going on in Ukraine
and Russia it doesn't mean you don't give people some kind of a tribunal and
yet they're against it think of the insanity of that so my father has a
common-sense approach to everything that's because rather than being a
lifelong bureaucrat who's never actually done anything in the real world he has

(37:12):
and he understands what that means and we have to act accordingly yeah so I
just want to say one thing on that and going back to the gentlelady that spoke
yesterday I think she had a Freudian slip at least I hope it was one where
she talked about what we did to the Russians in Afghanistan that's not a
great comp by the way okay that's a horrible comp what we were doing we're
funding a Mujahideen that create radicalization in that country and we

(37:33):
know what we reaped after that let's just I'm a business person I look at this
we've spent almost 300 billion dollars over there and now we find out the
Zelensky's number two is under investigation for corruption where's
the audit of where any of that money went we should be asking those questions
we have over 300,000 people dead it doesn't make sense as the United States
to have enemies it's a lot more than that so he's incorrect on that he's in both

(37:59):
Russia China and then also at Iran in there so from a strategic standpoint
again speaking as a private citizen my sense is you should act as a reverse
Kissinger neutralize the Russians and then focus on the real threat that
nobody seems to want to talk about except his dad who started the
conversation that China is the one they need this is Omad Malik is put one of
his partners to focus on one of the most amazing things I got to witness I was

(38:22):
this summer with my beautiful girlfriend Bettina in Monaco and we were driving
around here it comes this is this is a huge takedown on Ukraine and on an
average day 50% of the supercars the Bugatti's the Ferraris that this all had
Ukrainian plates do we think that was actually earned in Ukraine I'd been to

(38:43):
Ukraine 20 years ago it wasn't like there was a plethora of wealth there and
yet you see the number two they're getting arrested for stealing hundreds
of millions of dollars you hear all the rumors about what's going on when I see
every license plate on a supercar in Monaco being Bugatti's the rich fled
they let what they believed to be the peasant class fight these wars and there

(39:03):
was no incentive to stop because as long as the money train was coming and they
were stealing it no one was auditing anything the leaders the decision-makers
there was no reason for them to ever come to peace no different than Putin it
wasn't the son of oligarchs that were fighting these wars it's someone from
Siberia that they're sending there and he utilized the war to rebuild his
manufacturing base it was very clear that the sanctions that we put on did

(39:26):
nothing to actually help all it did was jack up the price of oil which allowed
him to basically pay for the war with the Delta between the two while
building up his manufacturing base there was no incentive for anyone to ever get
to the table Zelensky knew he wouldn't win another election again and they
were continuing to steal Putin was building up his manufacturing base and
all we had in the wake was millions of young young men dying for nothing I mean

(39:49):
obviously Ukraine has a massive corruption issue and as you say it was a
far more corrupt country than Russia as delegated by the United States
government prior to this war but then because of the war and because he's one
of the great marketers of all times Zelensky became a borderline deity
especially to the left where he could do no wrong he was beyond reproach years of

(40:12):
corruption years of graft and theft on a world stage that everyone in this new
room knew was happening was totally absolved and and it's ridiculous we're
not dealing in reality but is your hunch that President Trump is going to
walk away I think he may what's good about my father what's unique about my
father is you don't know what he's going to do the fact that he's not predictable

(40:35):
he's not following the playbook of every clown who's again been a bureaucrat for
decades you don't know and so that forces everyone to actually deal in an
intellectually honest capacity which has not happened in far too long I want to
ask you about Elon Musk because yeah let's not go well you know what though

(40:56):
it does have something to do with freedom of speech so I will finish this
out there's only like 20 seconds left let's see if he puts a quick answer in
there I think it might but I don't want to go too much further I have more to
cover is of course your company 1789 deeply invested in many of Elon's
companies I mean speaking of mediation have you guys played a role in we've

(41:21):
seen the relationship and this video doesn't get to it it's a it's it's
basically over but I that that showed how Trump sees the future how'd you like
that part about the corruption in Ukraine how'd you like that part about

(41:41):
nobody ever knows what my dad's gonna do I love that nobody knows this is why
Trump's foreign policy is resonating globally Trump isn't promising the world
freedom he's promising consistency you know I've been skeptical let's call it

(42:03):
about the old Trumpster for quite a while I've been I've been skeptical Oh on
international I like most of what he's done nationally I'm not a huge Trump er
you know I was definitely not a Biden definitely not a Harris you know I
could never justify either of those morons you know further again and Trump

(42:26):
like his son said here they're running a they're running trying to run America
like a business do I agree with everything absolutely not but you know
this consistency promise you know a lot of the stuff that's come out about
Modi about Xi Jinping about Putin you know what is there that America does not

(42:48):
have and it's extremely hard to keep because you change direction every four
years is consistency is straight beliefs not coming in every four years and
tearing up not only America but the entire world because you disagree with
your predecessor it's nonsense and I don't like it that you know the contrast

(43:11):
between Trump's realism and Hillary's you know nostalgic oh gee let's go back
to the you know the new world order was it was quite sharp Hillary talk like
somebody trying to rewind the VCR back to 1995 and Trump jr. talks like somebody
who knows that beta and VCR VHS snapped years ago all the tapes are destroyed

(43:38):
Tucker talks like somebody tired of being lied to by his government Putin
talks like somebody building the next 50 years of global policy and the world is
reacting the future will not be decided by the European Union the United
Nations or more importantly the US State Department it'll be decided by energy

(44:03):
states manufacturing states technology states and civilization states Russia
China India the Gulf and whichever Western nations wake up first and join
the new reality instead of resisting it did you remember me telling you about

(44:24):
the interview I did in Kazan last year and the girl running around with the
picture of Putin and what I had said at that time and I think it will bear out
is you know was the BRICS conference and she said if you could ask Putin one
question what would you ask you know and she may in this Russian TV it's do I
looked at the picture and I said well you know could we join BRICS America

(44:49):
join BRICS in 10 years you know could we join you know as are we part of it you
know we wouldn't let Russia join NATO but could we join BRICS one you know
working together with people is a hell of a lot different than dictating to
them it's that's not diplomacy that's dictatorial stuff and the world's tired
of it Doha made this clear Putin confirmed it the West and Hillary

(45:14):
Clinton can keep pretending it's the 90s but the rest of the world has moved on
perhaps the clearest sign that the world has moved on is not in the speeches of
Doha or even in Putin's interview but in the silence of Zelensky where'd he go

(45:35):
two years ago any major meeting any forum would have shoved him onto the
main stage surrounded him with flags and and you know Ukrainian blue and yellow
everywhere violence tears and then they would have declared that he was the
spirit of democracy he's resisting tyranny now he didn't even get an

(46:00):
invitation there was no spotlight and no interest the world is exhausted by
Ukraine's endless demands by Western governments pretending that this is a war
between good and evil instead of a geopolitical struggle that was unleashed
by NATO expansion and then ends the 2014 coup in Ukraine even those who

(46:23):
still support Ukraine privately admit the war is unwinnable the corruption is
bottomless and the Western narrative has collapsed under its own contradictions
Doha and the people there treated Ukraine exactly the way global

(46:44):
powers treat regional conflict polite indifference and that is what terrifies
the Western establishment especially the military-industrial complex they know
that once the emotional manipulation surrounding Ukraine has evaporated all
that remains is the cold truth Europe has dragged itself into a war that it

(47:06):
cannot win American money funded a war that we can't explain and Russia walked
into a war it spent eight years preparing for while the West was busy
debating pronouns and social media censorship the longer the war goes on

(47:28):
and the more ground Russia takes which has been quite a bit even over the
weekend the more obvious this imbalance becomes you know Trump jr. talking about
all the Bugatti's and all the foreign cars that's true in Miami as well there
are plenty of Ukrainians running around with Ukrainian license plates that are

(47:51):
that were funded by our money and they get rich from it and then they leave the
country that's how it works those are the ones who have been successful and
they get out they don't want to live in Ukraine that's destroyed they want to
live elsewhere and show off all the money that they have corruptly lifted

(48:12):
from the the government of Ukraine while the US government from us basically the
countries that were in Doha weren't interested in symbolism they're
interested in results Trump's foreign policy document which I've read offers
results cut unnecessary war he was a little more silent about Venezuela though

(48:37):
rebuild American industry restore America's energy dominant dominance and
negotiate from a position of strength instead of fantasy Trump jr. talked about
this acknowledged multi polarity stopped pretending Europe defines global morality
and recognizes that America's decline is not inevitable if America changes course

(49:05):
Tucker offered results also hypocrisies that have poisoned u.s. credibility for
decades I agree Qatar offers results negotiate with
whoever controls reality not whoever writes to press releases which is
American foreign policy has been for years Russia offers results mutually

(49:29):
beneficial trade programs military partnerships and energy cooperation
without interfering in the ideology of the country India offers results its own
stability its own development in its own vision of the future no longer dependent
on Western permission to do something you know what one of the biggest iron is

(49:55):
is is that the only people who didn't offer results are the ones who claim to
defend the old rules based order why Hillary Clinton was ever on the stage
I'll never understand I'd play some but it's not worth it but she did talk about
restoring the world that America used to run but the world she's talking about

(50:20):
doesn't exist anymore she warned about dictators taking over the planet but the
crowd listening to her understands perfectly well that the only country
invading nations for the past 25 years wasn't Russia it was America and she
warns about disinformation but the same American establishment she represents

(50:45):
lies about weapons of mass destruction lied about Libya lied about Syria lied
about Afghanistan lied about NSA surveillance lied about Ukraine
corruption and lied about Gaza so nobody was impressed by her appearance and all
these things because she was the architect of at least half of that crap

(51:09):
and something else in Doha was undeniable Qatar is the new Switzerland
not the Switzerland of the old world the one that hid bank accounts and avoided
war but the Switzerland of global mediation neutrality and power remember
that when it used to be Switzerland the difference Switzerland collapsed under

(51:29):
Western pressure and abandoned neutrality to please Brussels and Washington Qatar
has done the opposite despite years of US senators smearing them as terrorism
sponsors despite relentless Western media propaganda despite Israeli pressure
Qatar has stood firm and become a diplomatic backbone of the Middle East

(51:54):
I'd love to have a house there place is awesome they hosted Hamas at the US
and Israeli requests they brokered ceasefires they facilitated hostage
releases they mediated energy deals they built some of the Western relationships
that America relies upon but nobody acknowledges and Tucker's interview was

(52:17):
actually real if you get a chance you should watch that Qatar wasn't acting as
an extension of Washington which they were Clinton was trying to force they
acted as a sovereign power making their own sovereign decisions and the West
doesn't like that the West only likes mediation when it controls the mediator
when Qatar proved it can't be controlled to Western to smearing Qatar but Doha

(52:42):
doesn't care they're wealthy stable and influential there at the center of all
global energy their center of AI expansion infrastructure finance
Middle Eastern diplomacy their position between China's Belt and Road initiative
between Russia's energy network and India's manufacturing rise they're also

(53:06):
involved in if Africa's emerging consumer markets that's why Doha is so different
they don't have arrogance maybe a little but they have they're very confident
what you see in Doha was the emergence of a political culture that does not
depend on Western approval that's why this is terrifying to the West for

(53:31):
decades Western governments could destroy careers topple governments
silence dissent through narrative alone that era we hope is over it appears to
be on an international stage but at home they're still doing it when the
Gulf Russia India and China now speak the West cannot censor them when Qatar

(53:57):
broadcasts all of its interviews the West can't shadow ban them can't put
them at the back can't tell you to don't run them when Tucker speaks from Doha
instead of from Fox News the West cannot fire him they can't get rid of them the
American media establishment is no longer the gatekeeper of the truth what

(54:20):
they claim is the truth Doha demonstrated that the West lost
something far more important than geopolitical dominance it lost the
narrative think about that narrative dominance is what held the unipolar
world together the you know globalism held it together by narrative the idea

(54:42):
that the West decides who the villains are who the heroes are who gets so
called democracy and who gets sanctions who gets invaded who gets lectured who
gets weapons who gets starvations all of that has evaporated you know basically

(55:03):
since the Trump foreign policy document you know this past weekend in that crazy
the people in Doha didn't weren't asking for permission they didn't defer
they didn't they didn't flatter they spoke like equals because that's what
they are and Russia India relations excuse me relationship has sealed this

(55:26):
reality Putin's interview was showing a leader that understands his own
country's interests and understands the trajectory of global power he wasn't
begging India for support he acknowledged India's rise as a pillar of
global stability he didn't lecture India about democracy he praised its

(55:47):
development he doesn't treat India like a colony he treats it like a partner
think about that because that's a big difference the West's relationship with
India is transactional and conditional but real lush but Russia's
relationship with them is strategic powerful and respectful when Putin

(56:13):
called India's growth colossal he was describing a geopolitical fact it is a
fact India is one of the only countries in the world capable of matching China's
demographic size Russia's natural resources and America's technological
potential India is not a client state India is not a junior partner India is

(56:40):
not a pawn in someone else's game they are now and we helped create it by the
way a civilizational power set on its own course and that is exactly why the
West is struggling with its rise it's absolutely true the West expects

(57:01):
loyalty to globalism from India Russia offers partnership the West expects
ideological alignment Russia offers cooperation the West expects and the
India to choose sides yeah remember this you got to choose a side you got to pick
a side Russia Ukraine Russia Ukraine Russia offers India the chance to avoid

(57:25):
choosing sides entirely and India understands that Russia's view of the
world aligns far more closely with its own historical experience colonialism
taught India that Western moralizing is often a mask worn to allow exploitation

(57:47):
neocolonialism taught India that Western promotion of democracy often leads to
chaos the global financial system taught India that Western control over its
capital is a weapon Russia doesn't carry any of that think about that

(58:10):
another revelation from Putin's interview is how confidently he
dismissed accusations thrown at him for years he didn't behave like a defensive
leader overwhelmed by pressure he behaves like a man whose country has
weathered every sanction every diplomatic assault every propaganda
blitz and it came out stronger Russia has not collapsed Russia isn't begging

(58:35):
Russia didn't compromise Russia has redirected its trade rebuilt its
manufacturing base you heard Trump jr. talking about that expanded its military
production deepened its own alliances meanwhile what's happened in Europe
Europe froze inflation has soared industries are gone and American

(58:59):
political leadership in Europe has disintegrated this is why Putin's tone
in the India interview matters he was sounded like a man speaking from a
while watching a dominant Western order unravel he isn't angry he isn't flustered

(59:21):
he isn't evasive he was patient and the patience is shows confidence that a
secure country secure in its future projects and that future is not a
Western dominated future it's a multipolar world order and Doha confirms

(59:44):
it Putin articulated it the West fears it and the rest of the world is embracing
it what Doha and the India interview revealed is that the world is finally
confident enough to say openly what it has been whispering privately for years

(01:00:10):
the Western model globalism is no longer universal no longer persuasive and most
importantly no longer feared countries are making decisions of their own not
based on Washington's approval but based on their own strategic interest economic

(01:00:33):
benefit their own cultural identity and most importantly they are forming
relationships with each other without mediation from the United States this is
what the West has never expected they assume that once American prestige
collapses the world would fall into chaos instead the world is reorganizing

(01:00:57):
itself peacefully pragmatically and without the West at the center I think
that's important to recognize you know when I when I apply all these things that
I researched over the weekend when I take a look at all of the horror story of

(01:01:19):
Ukraine and the haves and the have-nots all the people and on the stage Trump
jr.'s partner I forget his name Malik I think he said that there were 300,000
dead it's a million 300,000 closer to that on the Ukrainian side alone they

(01:01:45):
you know it's a some of the numbers are still being twisted just a little bit I
think they were prepared for this or uninformed about a couple of primary
factors but I tell you what it was some interesting conversation it was you know
Trump's foreign policy doctrine you know actually fits into this new world in a

(01:02:13):
way that no Mitch McConnell no Lindsey Graham no establishment politician like
Hillary Clinton can explain Trump doesn't believe America has the divine
right to police the globe at least I didn't catch it I mean you should read
this documents like 30 pages it's not really all that long and it's on the

(01:02:37):
president's website you can pull down the new internet the foreign policy
document security document but he doesn't believe the State Department is
the priesthood of international morality he doesn't believe that the Pentagon's
job is to fight wars everywhere except America he doesn't believe that

(01:03:00):
lecturing sovereign nations produces peace it seems from reading his doctrine
his policy that it's pretty simple America should be strong wealthy
sovereign and respected not feared not resented not overextended God I hope

(01:03:22):
this this actually works his document when I read it I mean if you listen to
me regularly you know what I think about Trump's international policy ends there
was an interview with another guy that said do you think he's gonna he's gonna
abandon Ukraine and there's 400 million still in the budget I saw a report this

(01:03:46):
morning in the new Pentagon budget there's still 400 million in there for
for Ukraine which I think is BS but it's still there and I've said forever if he
cut off the intelligence and cut off the funding and left it to Europe if they
want to let them do it I think we're headed that way I really do because his

(01:04:08):
foreign policy document said that it's strategically important quite important
to work with Russia Trump jr. talked with a you know clarity you tell me he
ain't involved with his father you know he is he is you know his father often
buries you know logic and bluster you know what I mean he's always attacking

(01:04:33):
somebody but his son is a lot more direct and he said America has a narrow
window to reset its approach to the world not by force but by strategy he
himself said that energy industry technology will define the next 50 years
now where do you think he got that that's what bricks has been saying bricks

(01:04:55):
has been saying this in their conferences he's you know Trump jr. also
said that nations with cheap energy and strong industrial bases will dominate the
AI era which is upon us he said that America has to rebuild what it allowed
to be outsourced to India and China and dismantled and Mexico too by the way the

(01:05:17):
you know all of the Gulf everybody at I really wish I could have been in Doha
for this it would have been fantastic and the Gulf understands this because
they're sitting on energy resources that are powering the AI revolution Russia
understands this because it's the only it is one of the only countries with the

(01:05:38):
resources and the scientific base to compete on the world stage remember me
going through several weeks ago the number of engineers that come from
Russian schools versus American the number that come from India and China
all these engineering engineering is the wave of the future in America hasn't
done anything to encourage it India understands all of this because India has

(01:06:05):
been positioning itself as the world's next manufacturing and technological
superpower they might even and they have the ability to go against not against
but to compete with China and because of the number of people India is the
largest country in the world 1.48 billion compared to China's 1.44 billion or

(01:06:28):
something like that and so and they're both growing they aren't shrinking like
the rest of the world where birth rates are down America under Trump is you know
at least his document that he put out shows that we could work with those
nations mutually realistically respectfully I think India and China

(01:06:50):
standing up to Trump and saying not so fast ghostwriter we are gonna do it we
think is best for us you know that's not America under Biden or Clinton you know
let's he has to treat these nations not as children needing supervision but as
equals that difference in Trump defines almost everything the West cannot

(01:07:15):
understand why the global South gravitates toward leaders like Trump or
Putin or Modi instead of the intellectuals of the Atlantic Council
instead of the Hillary Clinton's of the world the answer is simple because the
polished intellectual lecturers destroyed more than half of the world

(01:07:40):
pragmatic nationalists have built their own Hillary Clinton and Doha was
symbolic like a ghost from the past from the unipolar era that's been trying to
haunt a room that no longer believes in ghosts she warned about dictators but the

(01:08:01):
audience saw instability created by quote democracy she warned about Russian
aggression but the audience knows who ruined Iraq and Libya and Afghanistan
she warned about disinformation but the audience has watched Western media
manipulate every global conflict for more than 30 years she warned that Trump

(01:08:26):
would weaken America that was funny but the audience knows America is
collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions and by the way collapsing
I mean as a world dominated dumb as dominating the world okay and I think
that Trump's foreign policy was the first acknowledgement that we need to

(01:08:51):
start working as partners you know there excuse me Hillary Clinton was
speaking in a language the world no longer uses excuse me the rest of the
world has simply moved on Tucker's interview with Qatar's foreign minister

(01:09:13):
demonstrated the new communication dynamic in a multipolar age Tucker
Carlson is doing some extremely important things friends and neighbors
excuse me instead of sanitized press conferences you get a blunt American
journalist asking direct questions of a sovereign Gulf leader it's a great

(01:09:35):
interview should listen to it it's on the internet instead of evasive
diplomatic answers you had transparent response that contradict years of
Western political messaging it's crazy Russia India's relationship with Putin's
interview changed a lot of stuff Putin emphasized that Russia's energy

(01:09:56):
relationship with India has nothing to do with Ukraine why are we discussing
Ukraine when I have an energy relationship with India it predates this
conflict by decades decades Russia has been working with India Russian
companies have invested heavily in India's refining infrastructure India

(01:10:19):
refines Russian oil and has been for a long time and exported the products to
Europe ironically it makes Europe more dependent on Russian hydrocarbon even
while pretending to impose sanctions Putin discussed this without gloating he
didn't need to the absurdity of Western sanctions speaks for itself I've been

(01:10:42):
saying that anybody who knows anything's been saying that for a long
time nuclear cooperation has been going on for decades new agreements are
already in in motion this is a big red flag for the West because nuclear
partnerships create long-term alignment at least they have a 60-year contract

(01:11:05):
60 years crazy stuff for decades the West has relied on its ability to define
reality for the rest of the world it didn't matter what actually happened in
Iraq Libya Syria Serbia Ukraine World Trade Center what mattered was what CNN

(01:11:29):
in Fox News said happened what the BBC reported what the New York Times printed
and what the State Department declared untruthfully the West controlled that
framework controlled the language controlled the morality if the West
called somebody a dictator he was one if the West called a group of freedom

(01:11:55):
fighters they were heroes if the West called the war humanitarian bombs are
irrelevant right that era ended the moment the rest of the world has gained
enough economic and media independence to speak for itself frankly I think it

(01:12:15):
started around the time of kovat I think that was kind of a reset of
everything it localized many many things and it didn't mean you know the
only place you could get news was from from certain sources in the West there's

(01:12:36):
competition everywhere I love watching Indian TV there they're pretty blunt and
I like watching Russian TV stuff from Al Jazeera that people think oh geez are a
bunch of Muslims and that doesn't mean they're not saying things that are true
they aren't trying to dictate anything to you they're just talking about the

(01:13:00):
the world as they see it and that's important Doha proved that the West no
longer owns the global microphone and they don't Russia has a media network I
told you about RT going into India and the huge outlay of funds there China has
its own networks India has its own the Gulf funds world-class broadcasters that

(01:13:23):
don't talk none of them talk in any of these places like a Washington parrot
you know weapons mass destruction everyone is all you ever heard right
African nations communicate with each other directly Latin America even has
alternatives once narrative and that's one of the biggest things in Trump's

(01:13:47):
foreign policy document he is saying that we need to focus on the Western
hemisphere and quit doing stuff all over the world he's that's why South America
is important to him but I still think he needs to do it more as partnerships
instead of this forcing what's going on he's creating a new war closer to home I

(01:14:10):
think he's doing it for the benefit of the Mitch McConnell's of the world you
know those those morons need to be kicked out so once the narrative
monopoly has disappeared which it almost has Western credibility evaporated
right with it because everybody knows that the West lied for years the truth

(01:14:35):
was simple the West's power has never been based on economics or military
strength it's based on the mythology of those two things when the mythology
broke so did the Empire this is why Hillary Clinton sounded so hollow and

(01:14:56):
old in Doha she came with the old script the same old American spirit script
America leads everybody else has to follow but the room wasn't following the
room listen to her the way one listens to an elder relative repeat stories from

(01:15:17):
decades ago me and my army stories you know you can decades ago my important
contributions to the world happened in the 90s and Hillary it's the same thing
Hillary talked about the need for America to be more assertive in Ukraine
nobody cares about that the audience understood that assertive means more

(01:15:39):
weapons more escalation more instability not less she talked about Putin like it
was still 2015 in the West believed its own propaganda she talked about
defending democracy as if Ukraine was a democracy and as if the United States
hasn't spent the past 25 years destroying nations in the name of democracy nobody

(01:16:06):
believed her you know you go listen to her you know in contrast every time
Tucker Carlson opened his mouth everybody was listening not because he's
beloved but because he was saying things that diplomats and journalists are
too cowardly to say he exposed the contradiction at the heart of Western
policies nations are punished not for what they do but for whom they refuse to

(01:16:31):
obey isn't that terrible he asked questions Western journalists refused to
ask because he answered would collapse the carefully curated moral hierarchy
that justifies constant intervention Qatar's foreign minister responded
without fear because Qatar understands something crucial as well this is

(01:16:56):
important the West needs Qatar far more than Qatar needs the West think about
that Qatar is not alone Saudi Arabia has moved on the UAE has moved on Egypt and
Turkey have moved on Iran never cared in the first place India has moved on and

(01:17:18):
China has never played the game Africa is moving on at lightning speed getting
rid of everyone South America is pushing American influence out of its own
politics the unipolar world is a relic and the only people that haven't accepted
it are the West's political military industrial complex

(01:17:43):
class and they just haven't processed this loss including the old Hillary
Clinton you know it's crazy Western politicians desperate to maintain the
narrative insist also that Russia's concerns in Ukraine are illegitimate

(01:18:05):
irrational or imperialistic nobody buys that the global South doesn't buy that
the only people who believe it are the ones who built their careers on
pretending that NATO expansion was a harmless act of goodwill instead of a
geopolitical strategy of containment it's crazy Doha revealed this

(01:18:26):
contradiction in real time while Hillary was talking about defending democracy the
Gulf is thinking about energy corridors security packs economic
diversification AI investment and multipolar balance CNN is still
pretending that American leadership in these fields is indispensable but Qatar

(01:18:48):
demonstrated that American leadership is often irrelevant Western politicians
still imagine themselves as referees of global morality and the rest of the
world is forming partnerships based on results and economics not rhetoric this
is the core truth of the new world results infrastructure not values not

(01:19:15):
speeches not slogans not think-tank fantasies but results and Trump's policy
document really does focus on results and Trump jr. his message in Doha also
focused on results Tucker's interview expressed and exposed the lack of

(01:19:39):
results in Western policies Trump jr. talking about the corruption and claim
in cut in Ukraine as a fact was important and Putin's interview outlined
Russia's results despite sanctions alleged isolation and pushing war to its

(01:20:02):
doorstop India's response shows that nations respect results not narrative
and Doha has exposed the West's Achilles heel it no longer delivers results the
West delivers stories like Hillary's and the world is tired of those stories so

(01:20:24):
this is why Trump's foreign policy vision resonates with me and globally
you should read it if you haven't it's not because Trump is universally
admired it's because Trump is a little more predictable he's transactional and
he's uninterested in ideological crusades mostly I still think what

(01:20:46):
they're doing in Venezuela he needs to back off of that too but most nations
most leaders prefer truth reality the world doesn't want America as a
preacher it wants America as a negotiator that's what we want Russia
wants stability India wants stability Gulf Africa China all want stability the

(01:21:10):
only block that seems to thrive on instability is the one that claims to be
defending global order NATO and company yep Putin's final message in his
interview in India wasn't spoken explicitly but it was unmistakable what
he said Russia's gonna survive Russia will adapt Russia's gonna win where it

(01:21:34):
has to win and Russia will build alliances with those who choose
sovereignty over submission India chose sovereignty Qatar chose sovereignty much
of the world is choosing its own sovereignty and the more nations that
choose sovereignty the weaker the Western narrative becomes the world

(01:21:56):
isn't collapsing don't don't be scared over this it's reorganizing and nations
doing the reorganizing are not in Brussels or Washington they're in Moscow
Delhi Doha Riyadh Abu Dhabi Beijing Pretoria and Brasilia the future belongs

(01:22:16):
to energy producers infrastructure and manufacturing giants technological
innovators and some civilizational states not those who think moral
lectures about LGBTQ plus plus add some more they don't these moral lectures

(01:22:39):
don't replace competence Doha Trump's doctrine Putin's interview and India's
reception of Putin all tell the same story the global center of gravity has
moved on those who accept it are gonna thrive those who deny it are gonna fade

(01:23:00):
and nothing captures this shift more clearly than the contrast between how
the West discusses Russia and how India the Gulf and Asia actually view Russia
in the West Russia's portrayed as a declining isolated unpredictable
aggressor clinging to past Soviet glory but in the real world the world that

(01:23:26):
buys energy builds infrastructure and invests in future industry Russia's
views a stable necessary resource-rich power that has proven resilient under
pressure capable of long-term planning unlike the West we don't plan long-term
because we change direction every four years Western politicians despise Putin

(01:23:52):
because of this but they cannot change the simple fact that Russia is
indispensable to global energy global security and global balance so when Putin
speak nations listen not only because they admire him personally but because
they recognize that Russia's strategic interests are clear are consistent and

(01:24:14):
based on principles that they themselves understand sovereignty security stability
non-interference and respect for civilizational identity but when
Russian the Western sorry leaders speak nations here a demand for alignment join
us be like us join our definition of democracy they don't hear a proposal for

(01:24:41):
cooperation they hear conditions not partnerships they hear warnings not
opportunities and the difference is profound that difference is why the West
has lost influence over the global South the global South is no longer afraid of
Western disapproval they have options they no longer depend on Western

(01:25:04):
financial institution they have options they no longer rely on Western security
guarantees they have options they no longer trust Western narratives because
they do have options they no longer accept how the West defines their
legitimacy they're creating their own definition they're aligning with

(01:25:27):
geographic realities culture economies and history not with the fantasies put
out by Washington think tanks Trump's doctrine if you read it is more
compatible with this new world than anything produced by Biden Clinton you

(01:25:49):
know anyone like that Trump is not promising to reshape the world as
America he's promising to reshape America into a nation capable of
competing in the world that actually exists I liked it it was a good document
this is why Trump's foreign policy approach stripped of the media hysteria
is deeply pragmatic he doesn't want America to dominate through ideology he

(01:26:14):
wants America to succeed through strength nations respect strength they
recoil and dislike moral arrogance what we saw in Doha and what Putin articulated
from India is that the future belongs to nations that understand themselves Russia

(01:26:35):
understands itself India understands itself Qatar China Saudi Arabia UAE
understand themselves more clearly today than they did a decade ago but the US
and the Europe seem confused about who they are they swing between moral
crusades and political chaos between interventionism and isolation between

(01:27:02):
preaching democracy and eroding their own domestic institution this confusion
makes the West unpredictable in the very worst way not unpredictable like a
rising power challenging the status quo unpredictable like a declining Empire

(01:27:23):
lashing out in frustration the no world no longer adjusts itself around
instability it works around it the workarounds are amazing the brilliance
of Doha 2025 wasn't that it produced new treaties grand speeches it was that it
exposed for anyone willing to see it how the world has changed a decade ago the

(01:27:48):
US could have forced Qatar to deny Tucker's revelations or pressure Doha to
exclude Trump aligned speakers today it cannot a decade ago Hillary Clinton
could have lectured the Gulf and expected applause today she got polite silence a
decade ago the West could have pressured India to distance itself from Russia

(01:28:10):
today India responds by doubling down on further cooperation with Russia the
world is not anti-american the world is anti-imperial the world is anti
hypocrisy the world is anti-lecture the world wants partnerships not patrons and

(01:28:31):
Trump's foreign policy doctrine intentional or not fits the global
preference the unipolar world is over the multipolar world has begun nations
prepared to accept this are going to lead the 21st century Russia is prepared
India is prepared the Gulf is prepared much of the world is prepared the future

(01:28:56):
isn't ideological it's civilizational depends on infrastructure in closing
one thing is absolutely certain the world will not go backward not after
Doha not after Putin in India not after everything the West has revealed about
itself in Ukraine and Gaza the global order has changed permanently and the
