Brief Summary

The video discusses a recent meeting in Moscow between Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump's so-called special envoys to Russia and Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin. The meeting is critiqued for its lack of proper diplomatic decorum and the ill-preparation of the envoys. Key points include:

  • Kushner and Witkoff's inappropriate demeanor during the meeting.
  • The ongoing military strikes by Russia in Ukraine and their implications.
  • Questions about the qualifications of Kushner and Witkoff as envoys.

Meeting with Putin: Kushner and Witkoff's Mannerisms

Kushner and Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow, where Witkoff's opening remarks were considered disrespectful. Witkoff expressed excitement about the meeting as if it were a personal milestone rather than a serious diplomatic discussion. The video highlights how their behavior reflects a lack of understanding of the gravity of the situation.

Putin's Assurance and Current Military Strikes

During the meeting, Putin promised to ensure the safety of Kushner and Witkoff while in Moscow. However, reports indicate that Witkoff was hesitant to visit Ukraine due to ongoing Russian strikes. The video details recent assaults on Kyiv's infrastructure, showing the dire military situation in Ukraine, which the envoys appear oblivious to.

Critique of Kushner and Witkoff's Qualifications

The video features comments from Keith Kellogg, a former envoy, who said Kushner and Witkoff lack the diplomatic experience necessary for their roles. He criticized their handling of foreign relations, arguing that their backgrounds in real estate do not prepare them for conflict management. This chapter emphasizes the importance of experienced negotiators in complex diplomatic scenarios.

Disregard for Diplomatic Norms and Failure to Address Threats

Criticism continues as mention is made of previous meetings where Witkoff showed excessive deference to Putin. The video reveals concerns about the envoys' focus and ability to handle serious diplomatic negotiations. It also discusses how the Trump administration's approach to these situations has lacked the necessary seriousness, causing significant diplomatic failures.

Trump's Broken Promises and the Current Situation

The video concludes with a mention of Donald Trump's past assurances that he could resolve the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours, a claim that remains unfulfilled. This false promise is juxtaposed with the ongoing strife in Ukraine, highlighting the disconnect between the rhetoric and reality of U.S. foreign policy under Trump and his envoys.

0:00 Donald Trump's so-called special envoys to Russia and Ukraine, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, just met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and it was utterly shameful. It was worse than my lowest expectations about this meeting. I want you to watch as Steve Witoff opens up this meeting by looking at Putin and saying, "Thank you so much for having us. We were just standing outside before this meeting, Jared, Carill, Demetria, Yuri, and others, and we were talking about when we retire, we're going to have these incredible stories to tell people and our children and our grandchildren about this meeting. What

0:45 the hell are you talking about right now? This is what just took place here. Let's play it. So, first of all, President Putin, thank you. Thank you so much for having us. We were um sitting outside just now, me, Jared, and Carol, and then Yuri joined us, and we were all talking about uh when we retire, we'll have all these incredible stories and incredible memories, and yours will be right at the top of it all. Now, let me show you the moment before that when Putin walked into this room and you can see Jared Kushner. By the

1:30 way, Donald Trump's son-in-law, not appointed by Donald Trump, not confirmed by the Senate, not elected, completely illegitimate. Steve Witoff, one of Donald Trump's scumbag real estate friends from Manhattan. Like, who are these people? They are the absolute worst. And here they are just like star struck seeing Putin here. Play this clip. So then Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will do everything possible in

2:16 its power to ensure the safety of Wititov and Kushner while they're in Moscow. And if they happen to go to Ukraine to meet with Zalinsky, I mean that was one of the main purposes of this trip that Wit Cop, who has never visited Zalinsky in Ukraine, was going to finally go there. But then all of the reporting out of Ukraine was that Witovoff was scared because Putin was striking the airports near Keev, striking the main security building in Kev and other areas as Donald Trump and his despicable regime have tapped Zalinsky along promising Patriot interceptors or interceptor licenses and then not giving it to Zalinsky and

3:02 making Zalinsky and Ukraine defenseless against Russian ballistic strikes. So ballistics continue to rain down on Ukraine right now. And so one of the things that Zalinsky was proposing was a long-term ceasefire with uh Putin, which Putin rejected. And here's what Putin also said. The request to halt strikes on Keev came through official channels. Russia will not agree with Ukraine to a ceasefire lasting more than 3 days. Before Russia announced that it would temporarily halt strikes on Keev, it hit the airport in Kev. It hit the security building in Kev. It hit factories in the area as well and clearly sending a

3:49 message to Witoff and Kushner who are too starruck to even recognize what's going on. Or perhaps they do and they just more likely than not side with Putin. That's probably the reality of what's going on. During this meeting, Putin then told Kushner and Witoff, "The quality of the mediation and the trust placed in those carrying it out are of course very important. I want to tell you Jared Kushner and Witco that we are comfortable working with you and that the level of trust on our side throughout this process is quite high." Now Putin had told Trump that he specifically wanted to work with Kushner and Witkoff and specifically he wanted

4:36 to work with Witito when Trump previously brought in Keith Kellogg uh a former distinguished uh high level uh military officer to be the envoy. And I I disagree with a lot of the things Kellogg says but he had a distinguished military career. Um when Kellogg was originally appointed to be the envoy um 18 months ago or so, Putin said, "I don't want Kellogg. I'm not going to speak with him." And so then Kellogg became only the envoy to Ukraine, not Russia. And then Kellogg eventually got forced out of the Trump regime. And now Keith Kellogg gives interviews where he says, "I'm not really sure why we have real estate guys who don't know what

5:22 they're doing." and Kushner and Whitov handling these discussions. You don't know Keith Kellogg because maybe that's what Trump wants the outcome to be and that he's happy having these two losers get outmaneuvered by Putin. Maybe that's part of the plan. Did you ever think about that? So before Kushner and Witkov arrived in Moscow, you can see over here the strikes by Russia at the airports in Borisill and Kev right there. Take a look at what this looked like. These are like the some of the main airports near Keev. Perhaps where Witoff and Kushner would have landed if they took a flight into Kev the way they took a flight into Moscow.

6:07 Take a look right here at this B-roll. Um, Russia destroyed the Nova Pasta terminal over there in Kemlinski. You can see over here this terminal suffering major damage. Russia hit the Comet Steel plant in Kamemenski Drok region which uh looks like Russia used a North Korean KN23 ballistic missile for this. And so after Ukraine lost the Avastal and Ilich plants in Maui Poolool, this Kemet steel plant became the country's second largest steel producer. And this was just hit really hard. Play this clip.

7:08 Yeah. So, all of that took place before you had Witoff and Kushner arrive in Moscow. Keith Kellogg, the former envoy to Russia and Ukraine, then just to Ukraine, who's no longer in the Trump regime. About a month or two ago, he was interviewed and here's what he had to say about Kushner and Witoff. He goes, "These guys are real estate guys. They don't know what they're doing. Here, play this clip." I think the steep learning curve is with his advisors. 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 Woodoff who's the envoy to Russia, what is their diplomatic background, what have they done? They they've sold real estate. And I've repeatedly said in public, this is

7:56 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. Even Brian Kilme of State Regime Media Fox said that Witoff and Kushner should not be the ones handling negotiations with Iran because they were also the envoys to do negotiations with Iran, which obviously the catastrophic war continues. I reported earlier this morning how the United States hit three Iranian crude tankers in the straight of Hormuz and Iran has vowed that it will climb the escalation ladder and now continue to

8:41 try to strike uh US battleships uh in the area which previously was not targeting but as Trump's escalating Iran is escalating uh and the straight of Hormuz remains closed. Um but guess who was in charge of those discussions? Yep, you guessed it. Wito and Kushner, who screws everything up. Play this clip. >> And I also don't think that Witoff and Kushner should be the ones doing this. They're business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can't have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason. Marco Rubio, even Democrats admit, has looked at as a genius internationally. He's a the He is the guy that most people would want even if you were if you gave truth to Democrats. He should take the lead on

9:26 this because you can't do this like a business deal. You have to understand the history of the region and how distrustful the Iranians have been. They will only make a decision if they have no other choice. >> You know, key >> Democratic Congress member Adam Smith, who's the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, who will become the chairman of that committee if and when Democrats take control of the House. Here's what he had to say about Wit Coff and Kushner recently. Play this clip. Well, it's not surprising because there just hasn't been, I think, a sufficient focus on diplomacy. And I I agree with the uh with Brian Kilme, the Fox News guy who you quoted. I mean, putting WhitF and Kushner on this as well as they're on a halfozen other things where they don't have any experience instead

10:11 of using the State Department. I mean, the Trump administration hasn't really taken the diplomacy piece of this as seriously as they need to. And these are incredibly complicated negotiations. I mean, before you even get to the nuclear stuff, you know, Iran has a different vision of what opening up the straight of Warm Moose is than we do. Our our vision is exactly like it was before the war started. Their vision is it's open, but we control it. That's a very different thing. You need very talented negotiators. So, no, I don't think the Trump administration has done the work on diplomacy any more than they did the work to know that this war wasn't going to lead to the result that they wanted. Even though that was something a lot of experts told them. >> Just to remind you, previous visits by Witoff to Moscow where he met Putin, he

10:59 would also show this just gross obsequiousness and deference to Putin. Like here he is right here, April 11, 2025. Whitito shows up, puts his hand on his heart, looks like he's like actually in love with Putin. Here, let's watch it. And according to the book regime change, and this has been confirmed by other sources as well, Witoff really values his personal relationship with Putin, or what he perceives to be his personal relationship with Putin. During a meeting at the Kremlin, Putin was doodling on a piece of stationery and wrote 3 plus two, which reportedly referred to a territorial framework they had discussed as part of a deal. The

11:44 territorial framework basically means give all of eastern Ukraine to Russia. That's what 3 plus2 means. Witkoff asked Putin to sign the paper and to allow Whitito to keep Putin's signature and then Putin framed it and it's framed in his office. Whit has Putin's framed signature in his office. Donald Trump has the photo of him and Putin in Anchorage in Alaska as the most prominent photo right as you walk into the Oval Office. It's above the photo of Trump and his grandkids is the photo of Trump and Putin in the Oval Office right there. Now, I want to remind you as well that Donald Trump previously said uh throughout the 2024 campaign that he would be able to end the catastrophic

12:31 war uh in Ukraine in 24 hours. He said it would be easy. He would just call up Putin and he would call up Zinsky and he'd get it solved. He said 24 hours after the election, he would get it done. Not even once he was sworn in. And of course he lies about that. Play this clip. >> Could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. >> Yes, I >> How would you do that? >> Uh I know Zillinsky very well. I I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long. >> And then about a year ago or so when Keith Kellogg, the former envoy to Ukraine who I just showed you, was asked, well, Donald Trump said he was going to end the war in 24 hours. that he was such a good dealmaker that he could end it. So, what happened? And

13:16 then Kellogg's explanation was, "Yeah, we said 24 hours, but we didn't say what 24 hours. We didn't say what day." Yes, you did. You said 24 hours after he was elected. That would be the day after. And you lied about everything. Here, play this clip right here of Kellogg. >> Remember, the president said he was going to end the war in 24 hours. We didn't say what day, what year. So, we Yeah. So, that's where things stand today. Let me know what you all think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching, everybody.
