Q & A: Trump presidency at risk of unraveling

All right, Alexander, let's answer the questions from yesterday's live stream with Robert Barnes. And let's start off with Nikos, who says Trump will not lose his presidency, Maga are a cult that supports him no matter what. And Trump is bipolar and easily manipulated by the neocons, a second part. I am going to say some facts now, which will be ignored, but it's reality. Putin is the one who will lose and deserves to lose his presidency in Russia. three, the neocons know the game, death by a thousand cuts. Five months ago, the story was that the war would end this year. Now we are talking about three more years.

Okay, we'll stop there, and then I'll ask you a second part. So answer that, and then we'll go to a second part. And, Nikos, you're talking about facts. These are not facts. These are your speculations. So let's always separate speculations from facts. Trump is not bipolar. I mean, we should not use those sort of words.

and about the manga base being just cultists who will follow Trump wherever he goes. Well, Robert Barnes answered that question over the course of the live stream. He actually said that if you actually look at their response, you will see that that is not the case. And I've been reading today that they're now pushing back very, very hard to try to get the response, the special counsel appointed. and there's a report today that Trump is actually reconsidering his position on Epstein. So I don't accept those views. As to the future, well, we will discuss the military situation later.

But I'm going to say straightforwardly, I see absolutely no sign of Putin's political position in Russia being under threat. I'm fairly confident that he will be there when Trump is gone. And that's a topic that we will have to talk about in more length because it's a long one. But anyway, that's what I wanted to say. All right. Here's a four, five part continuation from Nikos. Yeah. Germany will use tourists and Russia will do nothing.

Europe will send billions to Ukraine and they'll be fine because they have the system. They can do it because they have. the guns and the will. There's nothing more powerful than the will of the West, and they can continue to use terror and eventually invade Russia. And quite frankly, I don't believe the Russian population has the will. Duran, you always ignore that the will and patience of the people isn't there, especially people my age. This isn't the Soviet times. This isn't the Russian Empire. This is the times of iPhones and TikTok. The Russian people are apologetic towards the West. They want the West, and they blame their own government.

I see it every day on videos and socials. The Russian people will either demand Russia to give up Ukraine or put some moron like Medvedev to power and make Russia unstable. All that because Putin just doesn't take Kiev and end this now. You'll ignore me, but even Levan and Colonel McGregor say the Russians are tired. Maybe Putin should have just accepted that the West can't be defeated and accept that winning battles isn't winning a war.

Right, right. The single most overrated thing in politics is will. Any substitution of will for resources is a high road to disaster. Can I just say the German leader and his followers in the 1930s and 40s, we're all about will. One of their most famous films was called the triumph of the will. Will gets you nowhere unless you have the resources. behind it, who is running out of weapons at this moment of time, not the Russians, but the West. And that is why we're seeing the political crisis that we are in today. As for sentiments within Russia, I see absolutely no evidence of this. It is the Russians who are able to call up hundreds of thousands of people to join their military, not Ukraine and certainly not people in the West. So, again, I don't think the facts support your conclusions. Just saying. Yeah, I just want to add to that. I'm here on the ground, and I can tell you this right now, Nikos, that the Russian people are absolutely determined to win this conflict. Actually,

the Russians that I speak to, they're telling me that they want a decisive victory in Ukraine. So, I mean, as far as will goes, I would say that they, that their will is to end this conflict with a Russian victory, a clear Russian victory, Alexander. Okay. This is important. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, they're not, they're not begging the U.S. or begging the West for some sort of a negotiation. At least the people are not going to the U.S. and begging for some sort of a deal. They want to win.

They want to win. Yes. So, I mean, if will means anything, that's what I'm seeing as far as the will of the people goes. People should never confuse will with face, which is what I think we're a lot about in the West. And willpower should never be confused with something completely different, which is the power of decision, which is what the Russians talk about. That's a Russian expression, by the way. Just a second. Yeah.

All right. So let's move on. We have from Matthew, is UK conscription going to happen? No, absolutely not. And we talked about willpower. There is no willpower amongst the people in Britain to engage in conscription and to fight wars. I mean, that just is absolutely out of the question. I could say that conclusively.

Okay, from Matthew, will Ukraine be given nuclear weapons? No, I don't believe so. I think we are in a very dangerous moment for various reasons which we will discuss in other programs. But I don't think the United States is going to give nuclear weapons to Ukraine. And I don't think any other Western country is going to do that either. All right. And from Matthew, again, is it likely the EU will steal the savings of its people to fund

this war? Yes. I think that is exactly where we're heading. That again is a whole other topic. But looking at the realities, if they really do mean what they're saying, that they want to keep the wall going, I don't see what alternatives they have. Already there is talk here, for example, in Britain of increasing taxes on pensions. And what is that if not taking people's savings away? And it's obviously just one step towards it.

But I mean, that's where we're headed. Yeah. From Building 7, can't wait to see Barnes twist himself into a pretzel trying to defend Trump. I'm sure the orcs channel agree with him on every point. Well, I mean, I think you heard him, and I think that we see that that's nonsense. Just as sterile neutrino says that Donald seems to be more and more unstable. Will he be removed for health reason? presidential subject to 25th Amendment so far. Wilson, Reagan, Trump won.

I doubt that we're in that position at all. I think that for the moment at least he remains firmly in control and he's making decisions. Now, those decisions may be erratic. They may be decisions which I profoundly disagree with, but at the moment he's clearly in charge. And I think we are a very, very long way away from that point. Linda Sarkisian says, Alex, please invite Eskander Sadeghi. He's a British Iranian academic at Oxford. He knows contemporary Iranian history and geopolitics really well. Well, that might be an interesting one. Thank you. Thank you for that. Mark Hewitt says, if I was J.D. Vance, would you not resign as VP if possible?

No, I would not, actually. I think it is all the more important at a time like this that we have a level-headed person in the administration close to the president and in a position to take over. So I think that his duty is to remain in post. Vincent says America First has been betrayed. I think a lot of people are thinking that and Trump needs to start noticing this because if he doesn't, exactly as we discussed in the program, his presidency will unravel. It is absolutely at that point. Mark Hewitt says we are coming up to the 79th anniversary of the King David Hotel incident in Jerusalem. Why has Britain forgotten this act? An excellent question.

For those who don't know, this took place in the 1940s in the run-up to Israel's Declaration of Independence. This entire territory at that time was controlled by Britain pursuant to a mandate supposedly given to Britain by the League of Nations. In fact, it was actually, to all intensive purposes, a British colony. There was a push to set up the Jewish state, Israel, and some of this erupted in violence against the British, and a particular, well, I would call them terrorist group, backed by some of the more fervid people within the Israeli establishment, including people like the future Prime Minister of Israel, Isaac Shamir. planted a bomb inside the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which is the main hotel in Jerusalem at that time, and still the leading hotel, I believe, and blew up and killed a number of

British officers. So this incident has been completely forgotten. It has been entirely papered over. Nobody in Britain talks about it. You never see any commemorations or references to it because our government, on the contrary, supports the current Israeli government in ways that I personally think are disastrous and misconceived and I could use stronger words. The Hockey Gole says Trump and his cronies actively covering for PDF files and thus enabling their future misdeeds in this manner is an unforgivable hill to die on. The level of gaslighting is off the charts. Well, I have to say, I can understand your words.

And I wouldn't use your words, but I agree with you on the substance. I think this has been a disastrous affair and I think that are massively underestimated as well. But you heard what Robert had to say and I really have little to add to it. Nico says people also talk about bricks. What has bricks done? A new banking system that will allow them to borrow money? No. Stop buying US debt.

Nope. Deciding to have a common Chinese currency, no. Well, there's no question of anybody using a common Chinese currency. and I don't think India, for example, would accept that. I mean, so that's never a question. A bank absolutely does exist, and people are borrowing from it, and it is expanding and in countries that are not part of bricks, like Colombia, for example, are now joining it.

So, again, that is already happening. And happening on a massive scale, by the way, again, it's not very much reported, but it is true. And, of course, the payment systems of the digital currencies are on the way will probably start to operate next year. So I think you greatly underestimate Bricks. And I don't think you follow the news very clear, believe I can say so, about the developments in Briggs. Nico says Iran doesn't ask for help. Brazil will get out of Bricks once their opponent wins. Russia are letting Europe to bomb them and China are sitting down and letting the Taiwan president who is bat as crazy,

insane to declare independence? No, again, I don't agree with most of this. I mean, Iran obviously is going through a particular political crisis in the sense that they tried to negotiate their way out of this situation, and they still have an element within their society that wants a rapprochement with the West. But they have, and this is a point to say. again, which pushes back against what you've been saying, that the Russians and the Chinese have offered them assistance, that Iran up to now has spurned it was a mistake.

But I think that that is inevitably going to change. And of course, it's important to say that they've only been in breaks for a few months. So, well, a year. So, as I said, we'll see what evolves there. I don't agree with you about either China or Russia, actually, and about the world. way that they're responding. As to Brazil, yes, it is an unstable place politically, but it's just had tariffs imposed upon it by the United States. Bolsonaro, by the way, is said to be extremely unhappy about this because he feels it's undermining his own political position

in Brazil and has apparently contacted Trump and is telling him for heaven's sake, scrap this thing, because it's only helping Lula. So, you know, these things are evolving things. Again, I don't really see the factual basis behind what you're saying. Did you say? Nico says, I don't see the unity or the will in bricks that is needed to succeed. The West has the will and the plan of death by a thousand cuts which worked in Syria. Well, again, I come back to this.

I mean, willpower is a massively overrated thing. If you're talking about Syria, the problem with Syria was an internal crisis within the government and a loss of confidence in President Assad. There is nothing similar in Russia, China, Iran or any other of these places. So you mustn't make analogies based on what happened in one country, which wasn't even a member of the Briggs, and which was offered membership of the Briggs and refused it. Sparky says, Robert, is Rudy Giuliani still a liaison between the U.S. and Iranian opposition terrorist group? I doubt it. I think it is inconceivable, actually.

Rudy Giuliani, in my opinion, I'm just going to say this. I think it's been one of the most terribly badly treated people in the United States. He's somebody who I actually feel sorry for. Luis says, am I being too conspiratorial thinking the mic rub on Trump's mouth before onboarding Air Force One was a message sent and reoriented Trump in strategy. A few days later, he gave the green light to bomb the Houthis and hasn't stopped since. Well, who knows? I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what messages Trump gets. I'm not there listening into his conversations.

So, I mean, I can't answer that question. The Hockey goalie says if Epstein in action is due to certain country, how embarrassing that the most powerful country in the world can be cuckled in this manner. Well, absolutely. I mean, I would say that today the previous Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, has vehemently denied that Epstein had any connection to Israel at all or Israeli intelligence. Well, you could believe that, not that that's what Naftali Bennett is saying. Just saying. OMG puppy says a charitable take on Trump and Iran. He turned a forever war into a 12-day war.

After Israel's reckless attack, bombing Iran was Trump's turning into the skid and established control over the situation. You know, I disagree. We did a whole program about this, which I would advise you to see about the gates of hell having been opened. I think that the United States should have prevented Israel attacking Iran, whilst negotiations were underway and what we now have. As we discussed, is this situation where Iran has it, apparently has its nuclear enriched uranium. It can move forward with whatever it chooses

to do with it. It's no longer cooperating with the IAEA. And frankly, the scene has been set for a future attack on Iran. And this is becoming a forever war. Port and Film Co-op says people need to wake up to and challenge Jewish power. Sparky says Robert is Pam Bondi in actuality scam Blondie or just sham blondi? Well, I think that's not a question. I has a rhetorical question if I can say. Shifu Ugenzi says Zelensky and Trump both play media headline games. Yes.

Too much. Zareel says it's all a pro-S-S show, aka WWE wrestling, pure show. You may be right. Sparky says, Robert, people often point to George Soros. Aren't they unwittingly pointing to the CIA? Soros has been a CIA associate since he helped them set up NGOs in Cold War Eastern Europe. I don't know what Robert would say about that, but my answer to that is yes. I think that the whole story of Soros is not Zoros himself.

though he's not an insignificant person. He's got personality, but the people behind him are even more important than he is. Salim M says, not an attack, but never criticize Russia. Why? Well, we do criticize Russia. We also air criticisms of Russia as well. There's much to criticize about in Russia. But to repeat again, a point which Alex once made, what we basically do on the Duran is we try to give advice to the West, because that's where we are. We are part of the West. So inevitably and obviously we are addressing most of our comments to the West and about the West. Yeah, and Russia's not screwing up like the West is on so many things.

Anyway, yeah, Sparky says, Robert, did Ted Cruz's Sunday school use the Schofield Bible or one of its derivative? didn't seem like he was quoting the King James Bible, which was common in my 1960s US youth to Tucker Carlson. I think Robert answered that. Yeah, I think he did, yeah. He answered that question. Yeah, Sparky says, Robert, did Israel really attempt to assassinate Iranian president Peschkeyan? Or is he Israel's preferred, albeit unwitting Iranian president?

No, I think they did, I think they did try to assassinate him. I think the evidence about this is absolutely strong now. Apparently, he was wounded. I agree with those people who say that in light of this, his continued belief that there is a possible way out is a triumph of hope over experience. Dishan Mendez, thank you for that super sticker. Raul Pinto says, will they allow Galane Maxwell to testify in front of Congress? Well, you know, an excellent question. I would have thought that, you know, I'm going to make a guess.

I think the dam is going to break on this. I think there is so much anger over this particular decision that at some point, maybe special counsel or something like that will be appointed. And then she says that she's ready to come forward and give a full account of what took place. And I can't imagine that the questions won't be. asked of her. Apparently, she's saying that nobody from the government up to now has asked her any questions at all. Medi says, what happens if it is learned that US policy was influenced by Mossad, bribing or blackmailing U.S. politicians? I think this would be an absolute,

it would be a huge event. And I think that on top of everything else that has been happening, I think it would change the whole balance of relations between Israel and the United States. And if you want me to just give a guess as to why there is this effort to keep the story under wraps, it's because there is nervousness that something like that might happen. Mario Mennes says, how come in 12 days they say that they depleted interceptors in one country and in another and in another in three years they are still working? Well, this is the paradox. Of course, the thing to say about this is the three years. years. The three-year depletion is what has led to the situation that we see today. Now, they only started to supply Patriot Missile Interceptors in 2023. I mean, they arrived, if my memory serves me

right, around early summer, 2023. And originally, it was only one battery. And then, of course, more and more was sent. So the real big rush of Patriot Missile in terms, interceptors was last year in 2024. But obviously that has depleted the stockpile, and it's now creating the crisis that we're saying. It is Ukraine more than Israel that has created this crisis. Iranian kiddo says M.E.K was a Marxist Islamic militia active from the late 60s to the late 80s. They were mass executed by Iran in 1988. Few elderly remnants now live in Albania on a camp. acts of sabotage in Iran are now carried by Mossad recruits. I don't know.

You see, there's so much here to discuss. I don't pretend to know very much. I remember M.E.K quite well. And you described the original M.E.K. Correctly. I suspect what operates in Iran today uses the name of M.E.K. and some of the original networks that were created by it, but probably has little direct connection to the original organization.

Creators' Freedom says Bernie Sanders will be president, but when? Wilma Thomas, thank you for that super chat. Sparky says, Robert, isn't it a shame that pro-resselings, the Iron Sheik from Iran isn't around any longer. Undoubtedly, Iran would accept him as regime change leader. His character played into U.S. ignorance. R.D. Patterson says, let's put our hopes on a guy being blackmailed for graping kids to save America. Matthew says, will there be a wider European war, or is the EU rearming just for the MIC?

People talk about the EU rearming three years into the war. there is no evidence of this. I think this is a key thing to say. We are actually disarming. We have far fewer weapons that we did three years ago. We had few weapons that we had two or one year ago. There's just been our big report about the state of the British military. And it is dire.

We're spending a huge amount of money. But as Alex repeatedly says, our genius, Ursula, its particular genius is in creating slush funds. It doesn't mean that they produce anything else that slush. Yeah. Neil Meta says, who in the Mossad or the CIA constructed Epstein might be a very small circle of people, it seems that might have been part of creating him? Many questions, I have no answers.

I mean, if you ask me the story of Epstein, I don't know it. All I can do is ask the questions. Like I said, nothing in terms of money about him makes any sense. As Robert says, there's no explanation of how he came to have half a billion bucks. And the lifestyle he was living, you would need at least 10 billion. And he's right about that. I mean, I know a bit about this. 10 billion to be able to afford.

And again, there's no real explanation of how he was able to do any. of this, and nobody's been asking, nobody in authority that we know about has been asking the questions. Sparky says, fun fact, the Iron Sheik was an actual Iranian Greco-Roman wrestler before moving to the U.S. and going pro, instead of complaining about ignorant Americans, confusing Persians and Arabs, he leaned into it. Cool. Russell Hall says, I fear that Trump's age combined with a constant barrage of absurd legal

challenges, bad press and obstructions have all affected his mental health. I think I've heard that. I've heard other people say that. And there may be some truth. I think one of the problems with Trump is that he's doing far too much. He's a man with great physical. And I get to say mental energy. But I think he's trying to do far too much and doing it in a very unstructured way. Euro Gabor says, I don't need to tell you that what determines a man's legacy is often what isn't seen. J. Edgar Hoover, certain clients list anyone. True enough. Death says, tune into the first ever live Tucker Carlson interview with D. Cooper on Friday discussing Epstein.

I wonder to say, gosh. R.D. Patterson says, Americans are so much better than its political class. It is Bastille Day. I absolutely agree with that. I agree with that completely. Sparky says, Robert, I tried to tell the U.S. government in the 1990s offshoreing key strategic parts, sub-assemblies and materials, along with general deindustrialization was a bad idea, but they didn't listen. Eopressian.

You oppressing. Yeah. Sparky says, Robert, I doubt Cruz ever attended Sunday school, but his apparent non-King James Bible quotations to Tucker points towards someone giving them to him as talking points. I would not be surprised. I mean, I don't know, but I would not be surprised. As Ariel says, please don't forget Nobel Peace Prize is bought, not earned. True enough.

Matthew says, will Russia hit NATO due to long-range strikes? Well, they might do. I mean, they said that they reserve the right to do it. If we do get its situation where long-range missile strikes take place against Russia, and there's even reports now that the U.S. has been considering Tomahawk missile deliveries, then we're getting much, much closer to that position. Sparky says, Robert, does President Trump know what President Biden had already tried as far as wars go, or are neocons weaponizing Trump's ignorance to keep trying failed policies?

You know what I think the problem is? I think he doesn't know. I think he doesn't do that which he ought to do, which is to have proper meetings within the context of the National Security Council, meetings that could last several days, by the way, in which he's fully briefed about the entire picture, in which he asks the questions. And Trump is a clever man, and he would know how to ask questions if he did that. Instead, what he tends to do is he makes decisions on the hoof. And that is not the right way to make decisions in government. In business, in the kind of business that he used to do, I can see why it might work. But he really does need to sit down. And he doesn't want to read. Then, as I said, meetings are the way to do it. Get a cross-section

of people, get people from the Pentagon to provide the information about the stockpiles, and you make good decisions that way. Day Nobody 4, thank you for that super sticker. Andrew Piscario says, just the people we need to hear from in these dire times. Good morning from Salt Lake City to Alexander and Alex. Thank you. To Barnes speaking the truth. Thank you for that.

Thanks. Life of Brian says Barnes insists that Trump is not stupid and proceeds to describe a fool. he will get bledied in the midterms and still learn the wrong lesson. He's not stupid. He's not actually stupid. I think this is the thing people, if he was stupid, he would not have been elected president. Twice survived all those legal challenges and done all of those things. But that's not to say that he isn't in some ways a very flawed person to be chief executive of the United States.

You want me to give a suggestion who he should look to and find out how he worked. There's two presidents. One is JFK and the other is Richard Nixon. Nixon, a person I have little time for, but somebody who did actually get a control of the government and did achieve quite a lot in foreign policy during the period when he was president. And you will see the very different way in which they ran the administration. and the way in which they were able to establish control. Russell Hall says perhaps legal battles are tilting in Trump's favor

precisely because he's doing all these things, which it seems like he doesn't need to do. No, I don't think so. I think the reason they're tilting in his favor is because the law is on his side. I mean the law, I mean the actual constitution and the legal system. I mean, if the U.S., if the Supreme Court of the United States we start to take opposite decisions, then we would be in a situation where government in the United States would become impossible, whoever was the president. Even the deep state wouldn't be able to function.

Life of Brian says, Carrie Kennedy, RFK's niece is a Maxwell associate. I know. Elza says, when last year Putin said that Russia preferred Biden as president, I thought he was joking. Now I'm sure he didn't. I still think he was joking. Actually. Cactus Ray, thank you for that super sticker. The Palantir says Trump recently gave a speech in the Middle East tour where he spoke against

nation building in neocom policies, then Trump associates with Keith Kellogg and Lindsay Graham, what is going on here? We discussed this actually. We have, yeah. Robert answered that question. Andrew Piscadio, Piscadlo says, I said it when the Houthi side quest happened. everything else has confirmed it, Susie Wiles and Coe will destroy the admin before it gets started. Well, as I said, the Russians believe that Susie, Susan Wiles is the actual, as I said,

I mean, they see her as a kind of evil genius, whether they're right to think that. I have no idea, but you heard what Robert had to say about all of this. Sparky says, Robert, isn't Trump being fooled by the establishment like Hogan's heroes fooled Colonel Klink and key Germans into believing World War? who was over using fake newspapers and broadcasts. Well, if that is true, then that is a very alarming fact. I don't know. I mean, we don't know what goes on in the White House.

I get the sense of a very complex administration with lots of different people trying to talk to Trump at any particular point in time. And Trump often listening to the wrong people and making the wrong decisions. Yeah. R.D. Patterson says, at the risk of sounding obvious, you're not voting your way out of this. Voting. Voting your way out of, I guess, we're funding you way out of everything else going on with Trump.

Right. Right. True. Mirjana Gavrilovich, thank you for that super sticker. Jam says, when criminals run the government, who will run after them? Good question. Trevor Max says the Duran and Coffee. Thank you for that.

Sparky says, Robert, is President Trump doing the... the opposite of what makes sense technique like George Constanza in Seinfeld, is it actually a big picture, big, beautiful, shake the box technique? Will it work? Who knows? There is an element of theatre to a lot of this, as a ... But at the same time, things that are said can't always be walked back, and that's an important thing to remember. So theater can trap you.

Yeah. Radiculous says Iran airspace being cleared. Here we go again. Neil Mehta, thank you for that super sticker. Andrew Piscadlo says, I voted on destroying the deep state and threats to democracy. The getting out of the Slavic Civil War and Ukraine war was and is personal and non-negotiable Epstein discourses was assumed. I'm turned now. Well, I think you speak for a lot of people. Life of Brian says, Mr. Barnes, sorry to say that Trump likes and will keep allying with Graham and will sell out his base. He thinks they're cheap dates. So what now?

I think that Trump's connection with Lindsay Graham has been one of the biggest mistakes that he's made throughout his time as president, both in the first and the second term. I think he feels a big debt to Graham because Graham was on his side in the two impeachments and over some of the Supreme Court nominations. But I think that this comes a too high at price altogether. Tim Hediger says Zareel, Alexandra Curse, Alex Christopher, GM, good morning for Raleigh, Jim. For Raleigh, hope all is well for you and yours.

Absolutely. For that. Christina says, was the failed assassination of Trump intentional to manipulate him? He believes he was spared by God for a purpose. That's a dangerous thing. It's a very dangerous thing. And again, I don't want to bring my own beliefs in to this. But I mean, I think that would be, it would be an attempt to read God's mind, which is something, which, as we know, I never do, I don't ever like to do, especially if it relates to one individual.

But whether that was intended in that way, I'd rather doubt. I mean, that's making the assumption that the assassination was intended to fail when it almost succeeded. From Carl, hundreds of lives being lost every day just waiting in food lines. Why is it so hard for Duran to finally admit Israel's genocide? Well, we have discussed this. We've discussed this many times. Robert and I and we had a whole discussion on this very topic. And we looked at the legalities of this issue and we discussed them thoroughly.

Again, people constantly bring this topic up. But I wonder sometimes whether they're listening to what we've actually been saying about it. Empire We Are says what we call something matters. In 1947, why was the Department of War renamed the DoD? It's a hell of a lot easier to get funding for defense than it is for war. Defense doesn't need a declared war. Well, I think you've answered your question. I mean, it's exactly the reason.

They did the same in Britain, by the way. Yeah. Andrew Piscoglowe says Epstein was about to fight the deep. Epstein was about could you fight the deep state? Can you say no to dumb weapons deals? Could you stop rogue prosecutions? Given Dr. Moore's prosecution, which I was there, you're not serious about stopping. Well, I'm not sure that I completely follow this question.

But if you're talking about, yeah. I think Robert answered this. I mean, yeah. I think he did, yeah. I think he answered this, but yeah, okay. Yeah. Because he did talk about the Epstein and the deep state. Yeah.

The Palantier says Trump now owns the U.S. Ukraine war, just like Alex and Alexander pointed out. For Trump, this is politically equivalent to jumping on a grenade. Yeah, I'm great. Dave Diggins says, what can be done with the Trump-Ebstein photos I have found, the Epstein list, the APEC list? The photos themselves, in my opinion, show nothing of any consequence. I mean, they clearly did know each other. That's always been widely known, that they sometimes posed together. That's also been widely known. There's no inappropriate behavior in these photos. The one thing we do know is that Trump did turn against Epstein and refused him entry into Mara Lago.

So, I mean, apparently the point eventually came when the two finally and conclusively fell out. So I don't think there's more to it than that. I don't think we should look for connections which aren't there. I think a lot has been going on to explain these decisions, but I don't think, I don't think that one. Yeah. And finally, Nikos says, you know, sometimes I wish I was in charge of the White House, the language alone that I would use. And if they block my decisions, I would just announce it to the media before they assassinate me. Well, maybe you should be president.

I mean, I can understand that. But, I mean, unfortunately, that isn't how it's worked. And of course, other presidents as we know have been assassinated. So maybe that's why it doesn't happen. All right. Those are the questions from the live stream with Robert Barnes. Thank you to everybody.
