Americans are still trying to process the global realignment that has occurred following the disastrous Oval Office meeting between the president, J.D. Vance, and Vladimir Zelensky. What happened, they say.

0:19

Are we still America, they say. Whose side are we on, they say. It's complicated. The best way that I can explain what happened and show Americans how to process this new reality was with another shocking turn of events from this weekend.

0:36

On Saturday night at the elimination chamber, the WWE shocked the world as John Cena turned heel, joined the Rocks, and attacked Cody

0:47

Rhodes.

0:48

Now, if that does not immediately explain to you our current geopolitical climate, you must have grown out of watching wrestling through the normal course of aging. I, on the other hand, understand this in my bones. This explains it, folks. All of your shock, all of your disappointment, all of your anger, it's in there.

1:27

It's in the squared circle. You see, Saturday night, oh, we're doing this. Saturday night. John Cena, the good guy of professional wrestling. Mr. Hustle, the champ, the man who stood for everything. Truth, justice, the man who stood for everything, truth, justice,

1:45

the guy who literally holds the record for the most Make-A-Wish Foundation meetings of all time. People would get cancer just to meet John Cena. Last weekend, Cena flipped the script and went from being a face, a good guy, to a heel, a bad guy. Now, if you don't follow professional wrestling, and I'm guessing if you watch this show, you

2:14

do not. I'm judging from...

2:23

All right.

2:25

But let me continue to bore you with this metaphor. So here's what happened. The current WWE champion is one Cody Rhodes. Seven people say around. Cody Rhodes is the people's champ. Unquestioned bravery.

2:48

He stands in for Zelensky in this metaphor. A couple of weeks ago, The Rock, the now evil owner of the WWE, Putin in our story, made Cody Rhodes an offer. The one thing that I want more than anything in this world is that I want your soul. He wants Zelensky's soul. But sir, but sir, I am smaller and weaker than you. It will take incredible bravery for me to protect my soul and the soul of my people.

3:38

But luckily I am not protecting my soul alone. For I have the support of the great John Cena! So, Cody Rhodes, Zelensky, told Vladimir Putin, Rock, no soul for you, mother f**ker! And that's when they met in the Oval Office. America went to hug Zelensky, but when America looked up,

4:04

somehow Putin had given John Cena the international sign for its time. And rather than repudiate Putin, America smelled what the Rock was cooking. And through that borscht-y haze, America delivered the nut shot.

4:22

The nut shot to the hopes and dreams of Ukrainians everywhere! And then for no reason, America jumped on Zelensky and started punching him in the face as many times as he could. Too simplistic? No? This is it! Am I being too simplistic, assigning to the delicate art of Realpolitik a scripted outcome? Perhaps.

4:54

But judge for yourself.

4:56

Putin broken 25 times his own signature.

5:01

25 times he broken his fire.

5:03

You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War III.

5:13

You're gambling with World War III.

5:16

Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?

5:18

We gave you through this stupid president 350 billion dollars. You're either gonna make a deal or we're out. This is gonna be great television, I will say that.

5:31

It sure wasn't. But isn't that what you want from the high-stakes diplomacy and real-life urgency that ending war demands? And you know, even reporters got some nut shots in.

5:43

Why don't you wear a suit?

5:45

Oh, shit! No, you didn't! Let's do the dozens. Oh, Zelensky, you're so poor and war-torn, you're down to one Brooks brother. Oh, shit!

6:03

You're so war-torn, you've given up the meaningless protocols of business attire. If you think I'm pushing this metaphor, look at the stunned faces in the crowd at WWE when John Cena turned heel.

6:19

-$1.5 million.

6:21

I now present you the equally stunned faces of those watching this Oval Office pay-per-view.

6:29

Scott, I've never seen anything like that.

6:31

You've never seen anything like that.

6:33

Wow.

6:34

Just wow. That was, that was something. Caitlin, I want to start with, look at her face.

6:41

I mean, Christiane.

6:44

You broke Christiane Amanpour. The woman wanders unprotected through Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, doesn't give a f**k. Ten minutes of Trump diplomacy and she's like, is anyone else dizzy? Hi. My A1C is plunging. Now, of course, there is one big difference between the WWE and the world of politics.

7:14

In the WWE, they seem very clear on who the good guys and who the bad guys are. Nobody walked out of the match pretending that the guy who got nut-shotted was the bad guy. There was this attitude of ungratefulness.

7:27

Seeing his smirk, seeing him roll his eyes, seeing him refer to J.D. Vance, the vice president, as J.D.

7:33

He shows up in his equinox chic outfit to the doggone Oval Office.

7:38

President Zelensky was also antagonistic and frankly he was rude.

7:41

So impertinent, so disrespectful. Tone deaf, going in and fighting back, getting sassy with the president and the vice president.

7:49

He was sassy.

7:50

He was sassy.

7:51

He was sassy! He was a real scallywag. You know what I would say if I was there in the Oval Office with him? I'd say, you better watch your tone, mister. I think it was Churchill who during World War II was roundly criticized for being a bit lippy.

8:12

Excuse me, mister, we'll decide where you're going to fight them, whether it's on the beaches or not or whatever. Poor guy, Zelensky, his nation was invaded. He's against all odds, held off a much bigger army for three years. And we're like, would it kill you to smile a little more? Dress a little nicer, your beautiful country, nobody would know.

8:38

Show off what you got. You know what I'm talking about? Maybe some of those rare metals I've been hearing some about. But of course, if you criticize Trump's very clear hostility to Zelensky and very clear appreciation of Putin as being suspicious or a repudiation of American values,

8:55

as they've been outlined since World War II, Trump's people quickly set up straw men north of Richmond.

9:01

If there are no negotiations, what is the alternative? Another four years of war?

9:06

We're not saying there should be no negotiations. We're just surprised at the side you seem to be negotiating for.

9:15

President Trump recognizes the urgent need to end this war after three long, bloody years.

9:21

President Zelensky has different aims in mind.

9:24

Yeah, bullshit. I'm pretty sure everybody wants it. Everybody wants to end all... Hitler wanted to end the war, just not the way it ended. You're pretending that we have no other options.

9:39

Our hearts all break for the suffering and loss and death. But you know what would be even worse? World War III.

9:47

Yes, I'm sure your heart, in quotation marks, is breaking. But in your little zero-sum formulation, you are correct. Total capitulation by Ukraine, loss of all their mineral wealth, and no security guarantees is still better than World War III. For now. But you know, everything sounds better if the only other option you're presenting us

10:10

is World War III. You can listen to the Amelia Perez composer freestyle another f***ing verse at the Oscars. Or World War III. Eventually, you will agree to hear another verse. By a hair. These guys are so f**ked up, Trump's ass, they can't even admit that this meeting was Russia's wet dream.

10:39

The world is now watching how Trump behaves and acts when he's pressed. I thought he stood up for America, that we're a good people, we want to help you, but we're going to be respected. So I think Moscow is probably more afraid of Trump than ever.

10:59

Yes, people get terribly afraid when someone viciously takes their side. They must be quaking in their... What do Russians wear on their feet? I don't. Is it shoes inside? Other shoes and then they get very small.

11:17

Until the last shoe that you take off is a tiny shoe and you're really, you're positive this has got to be the last shoe. And then then but no You know what? Putin must be quaking. Let's get the this is the actual Russian state television view on Russia's fearfulness.

11:57

The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations.

12:02

This largely coincides with our vision.

12:06

America said, do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with us. It's such a pleasure to watch.

12:12

Basically he is taking our bread and butter.

12:14

We wanted to saw the Western world into pieces, but he decided to saw through it himself.

12:19

Not only are the Russians not fearful, they're f***ing delighted. Do you know how hard it is to delight a Russian? There's only two ways to do it. Break up the Western Democratic Order or bear on roller skates. It's the only two ways. Or social media dash cam death.

12:41

Three things really. Look, none of this is to say Zelensky handled this meeting well. Everyone knows by now Trump's love language is subservience. If he calls your wife ugly, you praise him. If he calls you wittle, you run his State Department. And if you're a foreign leader who wants to be on good terms with America, you gotta butter Trump up like he's Texas Toast. British PM Keir

13:02

Tharmer knows how it's done. It is my pleasure to bring from His Majesty the King a letter, he sends his best wishes. It's an invitation for a second state visit. This is really special. This has never happened before. This is unprecedented.

13:23

And I think that just symbolises the strength of the relationship between us. So this is a very special letter. That's how you do it, Zelensky!

13:47

It's a legend from the king! It's got a wax seal on it! It was brought here by Harry Potter's owl! What a delight! The king is throwing you a ball. You'll be the belle of the ball.

14:11

And then I'll sweep your chimney. Zelensky shouldn't have gone in there with Russia hasn't abided by any ceasefire agreement so we can't trust him. He should have gone in there with a dessert cart and a Keeve hotel opportunity. So this meeting has deeply wounded America's alliance with Ukraine as well as the rest of Europe and the punditocracy.

14:38

It's having a hard time figuring out the strategy.

14:42

I worry that the president is actually not interested

14:46

in a deal about Ukraine, but I don't understand it.

14:49

The question now, Jim, is what happens in Europe?

14:53

How does this make America great again?

14:55

It just does not make any sense.

14:58

You poor, dumb bastards. It makes perfect sense. If only you watched professional wrestling. Do you get it? It was a heel turn. I'll explain it again.

15:17

It was a heel turn designed to create the alliance Trump always wanted in the first place. What's to understand? Trump and the Republicans like Putin better.

15:34

Just listen to Putin!

15:37

The radical neoliberalism destroying traditional values, the obsessive emphasis on race. Modern cancel culture, it turns into reverse discrimination, reverse racism. They invented five or six genders, transformers, trans. You see, I do not even understand what it is. Share toilets for boys and girls.

16:00

Cats marrying dogs. Will and Grace reboot? I mean, come on! It sounds like Putin is primarying Marjorie Taylor Greene from the right. A woman who, by the way, gives up the whole point of this realignment.

16:18

The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians. Russia is not doing that. They're not attacking Christianity. As a matter of fact, they seem to be protecting it.

16:27

By bombing other Christians. So everyone's wondering, why isn't Trump aligning himself with the West? In his mind, he is. Western civilization, not Europe. To most of us, Russia is not that, because we, and historically everyone, has used the West to mean Western values. Europe represents the expansion of liberties advocated by great Enlightenment thinkers like Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. But to MAGA, this is Europe. It's f***ing gay.

17:07

Super gay.

17:11

When MAGA talks about Western civilization, they mean the Knights Templar. Still pretty f***ing gay. I gotta say. But excitingly so. But that's the thing. It's not democracy versus dictatorship or capitalism versus communism anymore.

17:32

It's woke versus unwoke. And Russia is not woke. They're very tired. They're comatose. It wasn't decided in a particularly volatile meeting on Friday. You've got to give credit where credit is due to MAGA architect Steve Bannon.

17:49

They've been working on taking out the EU for a while now.

17:54

It's a global revolt. It's a zeitgeist. We're on the right side of history. The beating heart of the globalist project is in Brussels. If I drive the stake through the vampire, the whole thing will start to dissipate. We'll call it the movement or the cause or something like that. And that's literally

18:10

when we take over the EU. Holy shit. What a concise, centrally planned social engineering scheme. But here we are, the end result of a scripted arc that culminates in America betraying its old alliance for the lure of a strongman partnership that carves up the world's rich bounties and places classic democratic values behind transactional convenience. So say it with me, conspiracy theorists. By design, it's a new world order. New World Order. So Europe, sadly, if I may.

Oh, snap! Trump's like, go on TV and say it, you bitch. That's right, you can't, because you got kicked off Fox News for lying about me winning the 2020 election, which I appreciate, you bitch.

33:23

So, yes, Trump is not on the same page as Tucker and he seems to be at odds with some of the other top MAGA minds as well.

33:30

The American people have been brainwashed into believing that America has to engage in these foreign wars in order for us to survive. And it's absolutely not true.

33:44

Oh my God. I can't believe I'm agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Gray. I'm at war with myself. This can't be right. Keep playing the clip I'm sure I'll find something to disagree with her on.

33:57

They don't want to hear about politics. They want to be able to afford food and they want to be able to afford gas and they just want to have fun. For once in their life they want to be able to afford food, and they want to be able to afford gas, and they just want to have fun. For once in their life, they want to have fun.

34:07

Yes! I still agree with her! For once in their lives, Americans just want to have fun! I don't want a war, I want to dance!

34:17

Ah. Although, you know what? I'm-I'm pretty sure Americans do know how to have fun, regardless of international conflicts. I've never gotten a text saying, hey bro, territorial dispute in the South China Sea. Barbecue's canceled. So, doesn't seem like Trump is listening

34:34

to the anti-war wing of his party. Maybe he'll listen to the anti-war wing of his own administration, like Tulsi Gabbard, his own director of national intelligence.

34:44

Tulsi Gabbard testified his own director of national intelligence. Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.

34:49

What she said, I think they were very close

34:51

to having one.

34:52

Ha ha ha ha.

34:55

This is the benefit of appointing unqualified crazy people to your team. You can always be like, do you know how crazy and unqualified she is? I don't care what she said. So, Trump is beefing with the anti-war wing of his party

35:11

and dismissing intelligence from his own cabinet, showing that Iran is not actually building nukes. It certainly seems to be leaning in a let's-do-a-World-War-III direction.

35:23

And weirdly enough, the final confirmation might be pizza.

35:28

According to an account on X called the Pentagon Pizza Report, nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a huge surge in activity. Here's why, when US military personnel face a national emergency,

35:42

they work late into the night and can't leave their desks. At 8.57 p.m. Thursday, the Pentagon Pizza Report reported that the closest and second-closest dominoes to the Pentagon had surged in traffic.

35:55

Oh, my God! We're going to war!

35:59

Or everyone at the Pentagon

36:02

just got divorced at the same time. Look, I don't know how things are gonna end, but it seems like they're trending in a bad direction. I will say this, though. If you told me after Election Day that within four months of Trump's presidency

36:17

I'd be staring at a Domino's pizza tracker to figure out if we're going to enter the final war of mankind, I'd have said, that's about right.

36:26

Up until now, Trump has justified the terrorist by saying it's to balance trade or protect national security or some other stuff he absolutely doesn't understand. But now he's just using it to help Brazilian Trump stay out of prison?

36:44

A major escalation in President Trump's global trade war, with the president releasing a letter announcing a 50 percent tariff on imports from Brazil starting August 1st. Mr. Trump specifically pointing to the ongoing prosecution of one of his longtime allies, Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro. A show of support for the far rightright politician facing charges for an alleged coup to overturn his 2022 election laws.

37:08

The president calling Bolsonaro's trial before the Brazilian Supreme Court, quote, a witch hunt that should end immediately.

37:15

Yo, what the f*** is this? So Brazilian Trump gets arrested for trying to do Brazilian Gen Six and now I have to pay more for coffee? That is not how it works, Mr. President. If you have a disagreement with a South American government, you don't impose tariffs.

37:32

You do things the American way and have the CIA overthrow them. And it's not just Brazilian coffee we're gonna pay tariffs on. There's Brazilian orange juice, nuts, jujitsu moves, and don't forget Brazilian butt lifts.

37:47

With, that's right, with 50% tariffs, that's gonna be a lot of people in America walking around with just one giant ass cheek. You know what, I think I prefer this. And Americans might be wondering why Bolsonaro is in trouble in the first place. But let me explain.

38:16

You see, in other countries, they actually arrest leaders who try to coup. I know, I know, it's a different system. It's like how the rest of the world has a metric system and America has feet and pounds or however you measure how much beef you're shoving into your fat faces. Let's move on from the war Trump is trying to stop to the one he's trying to start, the one with Iran.

38:45

They've been real pissy at Trump just because he dropped the world's biggest bomb on them. Get over it. That was like two weeks ago. And now some Iranians are suggesting that they could strike back in a very specific

38:56

way.

38:57

A senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader now issuing assassination threats against President Trump, reportedly telling local media, quote, Trump has done something that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago as he lies there with his stomach to the sun. A small drone might hit him in the navel. It's very simple.

39:17

-$5 million. $5 million.

39:21

$5 million.

39:23

$5 million. $5 million. Let me be clear. This isn't just an attack on Trump. It's an attack on all of America. Because now we all have to picture him with his bare belly glistening in the sun. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just kidding. You don't have to picture it.

39:52

I'll show you. It's beautiful. I think I prefer this. Is this really a threat though? What, you're gonna hit his naval with a small drone? Like Iran went from building a nuclear bomb to we're gonna turn his Audi into an Innie.

40:19

Are they threatening to assassinate him or poke him like he's the Pillsbury Doughboy? Eww! Also, Iran, are you the only people in the world that can't tell Donald Trump uses spray tan? He's not in the sun, okay? Are you looking at pictures of him like, damn, this guy must have spent all week at the beach. Trump hosted African leaders at the White House. Trump pressed them on important issues,

40:50

like migrant deportations and how Scar was actually the good guy. And you're never gonna believe what happened when Trump got in a room with a bunch of African presidents. He made it awkward.

41:03

At the White House on Wednesday, Donald Trump praised the president of Liberia for his quote good English, even though English is the official language of Liberia.

41:12

We just want to thank you so much for this opportunity. Well, thank you. It's such good English. Such beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated? Where? In Liberia. Yes. You learn to speak so beautifully. Where, where, were you educated, where? Yes, sir. In Liberia?

41:27

Yes, sir. Well, that's very interesting.

41:29

Oh! Oh! Oh!

41:32

Trump was totally blown away by this guy speaking his national language. I mean, where'd you learn to speak English? Like, what, Liberia? Oh, oh, oh, we call them libraries.

41:43

I believe that.

41:44

Oh! Like, what, Liberia? Oh, oh, oh, we call them libraries. I believe that.

41:45

To be fair to Trump, the last African he was friends with was totally incomprehensible. And now he's like, is this what Africans sound like And now he's like, is this what Africans sound like when they're not on ketamine?
