Ryan Reynolds (2:28)

No kidding.

Andrew Cuomo (2:29)

At this point in the race, the only purpose I serve is the is to induce the entertaining spectacle of my various opponents tripping over each other like the Keystone Cops to secure some sort of footing with ranked voting.

Ryan Reynolds (2:45)

Yeah, I see they're not going to.

Andrew Cuomo (2:50)

Win, but some may get on the November ballot, so they're all fighting over the crumbs that I deign to toss them.

Ryan Reynolds (2:57)

That. How arrogant of you, Jimmy.

Andrew Cuomo (3:02)

I have in my veins the blood of Roman generals and emperors. Humility in the public square is a genetic impossibility for me, and it is genuinely funny.

Ryan Reynolds (3:13)

Oh, is. Is. Is it now.

Andrew Cuomo (3:17)

Jimmy? Needless to say, I have a super pack. As so, it's far. So far it has spent $2.4 million on my behalf. Not my money, mind you. Just on my behalf.

Ryan Reynolds (3:29)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

Andrew Cuomo (3:33)

Now, old political enemies of mine have formed a PAC solely for the purpose of opposing me in this election. Jimmy, I want you to guess how much money that pack has.

Ryan Reynolds (3:51)

I'm going to guess it's embarrassingly low. Let's. I don't know, let's. How about $2 million?

Andrew Cuomo (3:57)

Oh, so close, Jimmy. $2,000. Thousand. That's how much the Stop Cuomo pack has raised so my old political enemies can rent an apartment in Manhattan for approximately one and a half weeks. Are we not admitting that is kind of funny? Just in a simple numbers gag kind of way?

Ryan Reynolds (4:21)

Yeah, fine. I do concede that's funny. You got me.

Andrew Cuomo (4:25)

Now we're getting somewhere. And Jimmy, get this. These various bozos who think they can take down a fucking New York bull in the New York mayoral race, rumor has it, have been talking about joining forces, pooling their meager resources, and taking out attack ads on yours truly. They think they can gang up on me? The very idea.

Ryan Reynolds (4:52)

Okay, okay, okay.

Andrew Cuomo (4:54)

But the one guy who has refused to join them, supposedly, is this Zoron character who is polling the best out of all of them. Can you believe it? The one guy whose name sounds like Voltron is the one refusing to join forces with four other candidates.

Ryan Reynolds (5:12)

Too bad. I'd like to see these ads, though.

Andrew Cuomo (5:17)

What would an attack ad on me even be? What? They show a black and white unflattering photo of me. Voiceover comes on. Andrew Cuomo's balls are so big, the city budgetary committee projects a seven finger renovation of the mayoral office would be required to even accommodate them. Andrew Cuomo. New York City can't afford him or his balls. Paid for by four losers who are going to lose to set balls.

Jimmy Dore (5:53)

Ah.

Ryan Reynolds (5:55)

You'Re really shameless, you know that? I mean, I'm pretty sure the attack ads would be about your record as governor and how you, you know, screwed things up.

Andrew Cuomo (6:04)

Ancient history. New Yorkers don't care.

Ryan Reynolds (6:06)

Yeah, I know.

Andrew Cuomo (6:07)

And they can't afford these ads anyway, so they resort to taking ridiculous potshots against me in the press.

Ryan Reynolds (6:13)

Yeah, like, what kind of potshots are they taking against you?

Andrew Cuomo (6:16)

Well, I'm glad you asked, Jimmy. Take my opponent, Jessica Ramos. State Senator Ramos is pulling 3% and has $1,039 in her campaign.

Ryan Reynolds (6:33)

You gotta be kidding me.

Andrew Cuomo (6:36)

Nope. She couldn't afford an attack ad on a Bazooka Joe rapper. So she accuses me of publicly, publicly of losing my mental acuity and said that we can't have a Joe Biden moment in the mayor's office.

Ryan Reynolds (6:53)

Well, is it true? Are you losing it, Jimmy?

Andrew Cuomo (6:57)

Don't be ridiculous. My intellect is as keen and sharp as my virility. The years have been very good to me. Nice try comparing me to Biden, but the joke is on her.

Ryan Reynolds (7:08)

How? How so?

Andrew Cuomo (7:12)

The only guy that New Yorkers would love more than a bull mayor like Andrew Cuomo would be an Andrew Cuomo who was kind of going crazy. The residents of the Big Apple love a spectacle. This town was built on the Bowery, Vaudeville and Broadway. Can you imagine anything more operatic than a Roman featured strongman slowly losing his mind?

Ryan Reynolds (7:44)

It sounds like a political liability to me, but what do I know?

Andrew Cuomo (7:48)

You don't know New York City, my friend. I know entire neighborhoods in Queens who would pay money to see that, let alone cast a free vote. Yeah, it would be like Caligula all over again.

Ryan Reynolds (8:00)

Yeah.

Andrew Cuomo (8:00)

Fuck it. I'll make my favorite horse comptroller. I'll replace the Columbus Circle fountain with red wine and 100 days of gain.

Ryan Reynolds (8:09)

Oh, my God. Okay, my old brother. How about that? How about if I just give you an old brother?

Andrew Cuomo (8:17)

Oh, my brother.

Ryan Reynolds (8:18)

Sorry, muscle memory.

Andrew Cuomo (8:20)

The point is, they can't even smear me in ways that would make me look bad. Look, Jimmy, I know you also have little obsequious peons out there who are trying to take you down, smear you. Don't you get a little kick out of how desperate they come across?

Ryan Reynolds (8:38)

I don't think that's the same thing, though. I mean, you're a political figure with a very compromised record, Andrew.

Andrew Cuomo (8:46)

Jimmy, we are not so different, you and I.

Ryan Reynolds (8:49)

Don't start with this again. We couldn't be more different. You always try this we're bulls crap with me. Come on. Okay. All right. We gotta go. I got a show to do. Goodbye, disgraced former Governor Cuomo.

Andrew Cuomo (9:07)

Jimmy, I. I feel like I'm going mad. My grip on reality is slipping. Who knows what I'll do? This is gonna be fun.

Ryan Reynolds (9:21)

He's gonna be frickin mayor, isn't he?

Andrew Cuomo (9:25)

Of course.

Ryan Reynolds (9:25)

Yeah, of course he is.

Andrew Cuomo (9:27)

And let's hope so.

Ryan Reynolds (9:37)

Establishment media sucks all gas lighting so good luck. Bullshit we can't afford why he's fomenting this watch and see as his jack.

Dr. Oz (9:47)

Golf the medium speeds and jumps the.

Ryan Reynolds (9:50)

Medium and hits him head on. It's the Chim show. According to the vigilant Fox, everything changed today. Everything. What? What happened? Well, something that should have happened, I don't know, 40 years ago, Trump finally did with an executive order. This could go down as the biggest health care shift in the world. Trump just did what every other politician promised to do but failed. He took a wrecking ball to Big Pharma as executive order to slash drug prices by up to 90%. Up to the then RFK junior exposed why no one else, not even Bernie ever followed through. So you know, all my shitlib friends are going to say he's only reducing drug prices so that will get everybody else going to get hooked on those drugs. That's what this is about. That's like saying don't smoke weed around Seth Rogen because we don't want him getting involved in drugs. Trump signs executive order setting a 30 day deadline for drug makers to lower prescription drug costs. This is real. This is real. Let's hear. Let's. I'm not. This is real. It's right there from the ap. So that's how you know it's real. Here we go.

Jimmy Dore (11:14)

But starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the health care of foreign countries, which is what we were doing. We were subsidizing others health care countries where they paid a small fraction of what for the same drug that what we pay many, many times more for. And we'll no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma. But again, it was really the countries that forced Big Pharma to do things that frankly, I'm not sure they really felt comfortable doing. But they've gotten away with it. These countries. European Union has been brutal. Brutal. So for the first time in many years, we'll slash the cost of prescription drugs and we will bring fairness to America. Drug prices will come down by much more. Really. If you think 59, if you, if you think of a drug that is sometimes 10 times more expensive, it's much more than the 59%. You know, it depends on the way you want to analyze it, but in one way you could analyze it that way. But between 59 and 80 and I guess even 90%.

Ryan Reynolds (12:20)

So what he's really doing, you want to know what he's really doing? Okay. President Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30 day deadline for drug makers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the United States or they have to face new limits down the road over what the government will pay. So most of. So at least half of the people who take pharmaceuticals in this country are paid for by the government. So 70 million people are on Medicare, 80 million people on Medicaid. That's like half the country already is being, is on government health care. Why not, why don't we just go the rest of the way? Why not just go the rest of the way? It couldn't get. I love how people go, oh boy, if the government took over pharmaceuticals, they would really have a field day. What do you think they're doing now? The order calls on the health department, led by RFK to broker new price tags for drugs. So it's the price tags that the government is willing to pay. So they're going to set the standard. So all the. So you know how Joe Biden said, oh, we're going to, we're going to. So there's a law, literally, this is how corrupt your government is that doesn't allow the government to bargain for prescription drugs for Medicare. Did you know that? No. So that's why it was a big deal when Joe Biden said, we're going to, we're going to get 10 drugs phased over a bunch of years that we're going to actually be able to negotiate them. So what that means is the pharmaceuticals, they get to charge whatever they want to Medicare for the drugs. Sometimes it's 200%, 300, 400% more than the rest of the world pays. That's what Trump is talking about. So if you want to get a drug to give it to a senior citizen on Medicare, the government can't negotiate the price of that with, with pharmaceuticals. That's because they got, that's how corrupt your government is. They passed a law that made that illegal. And so that's why other countries pay a fraction of the cost for their pharmaceuticals than we do in the United States. And Trump is saying, what? This has to end and you have to do this voluntarily or we're going to just start. So he's giving them 30 days and RFK is going to broker it. If the deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price of the United what the United States pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries. So he's like saying, hey, you either lower these prices voluntarily or we're just going to pass a. Regulate a new rule saying we don't pay any, any more than Switzerland pays for these drugs. And pharmaceutical shareholders, I bet, are standing on their balconies jumping for joy. Here's what RFK said about it. Here we go. Is that not rfk? Who is this? That's Oz. That's rfk.

RFK Jr. (15:36)

This is. This is an extraordinary day. This is an issue that. You know, I grew up in the Democratic Party, and every major democratic leader for 20 years been making this promise to the American people. This was the fulcrum of Bernie. Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. As it turns out, none of them were doing it. It's one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they'll never have to do it. And the reason they'll never have to do it is because they know that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry. There's at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, every senator on Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court. Some estimates three pharmaceutical companies. The industry itself spends three times what the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. So this was an issue that people talked about, but nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. They knew you couldn't get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage. President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical industry, too. I think they gave you $100 million, but he can't be bought, unlike most of the politicians in this country. And he is standing here for the American people. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump. And I'm very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage. I'll say because I don't want to be crude. Your intestinal fortitude, your stiff spine, and your willingness to stand up for the American people. We have 4.2% of the world's population.

Ryan Reynolds (17:38)

We.

RFK Jr. (17:39)

Rep. Our country represents 75% of the revenues for pharmaceutical companies. We spend in our country $1126 per capita on drugs. In Britain, they spend about 240. They spend 1 fifth of what we do. And this is true across Europe and this. And the drug companies, Europeans, if you ask them, it made no sense what they were saying. America has to pay for this innovation or it's not going to happen. President Trump is saying to our European partners is, you've got to raise the amount that you're paying for those drugs and pay for your share of the innovation that the United States is no longer subsidizing. That if the Europeans raise the price of their drugs by just 20%, that is $10 trillion that can be spent on innovation and the health of all people all across the globe is going to increase because we're going to have better products.

Ryan Reynolds (18:43)

So what he's talking about there is that I'm going to show you in a second. The pharmaceutical companies say, well, if we don't overcharge the United States, then we're not going to have any money to develop new drugs. And then you guys are going to be. So that's what he's saying. He's like, hey, well, let's spread this out. Let's spread it out. That the problem isn't Europe. That's, that, that's a, that's a, a straw man. The problem isn't Europe. That's a red herring. Maybe the problem is our corrupt government. And it's by. And so we are allow big pharma to corrupt our government by bribes, and then they pass stupid laws like we can't negotiate for drug prices, and then we end up paying 4 and 5 and 600,000% more than the Europe. That's not Europe's fault. That's our fault. Europe has universal health care in most every country. We don't have that here. So that's not Europe. So they're trying to do this thing where I'm not blaming the pharmaceuticals, I'm blaming Europe. Now, it's not Europe's fault, but I get why they have to do this for politics.

RFK Jr. (19:51)

So I am, I'm just so grateful to be here today. I never thought that this would happen in my lifetime. I have a couple of kids who are Democrats, are big Bernie Sanders fans, and when I told them that this was going to happen, they had tears in their eyes as they thought, this is never going to happen in our lifetime. And we finally have a president who's willing to stand up for the American people.

Ryan Reynolds (20:17)

So almost everything he said was true, except blaming Europe for it. But you want to see how much more we pay? Here's Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz has a chart. You want to see the chart? Here we go.

Unknown Speaker (20:30)

I left is a list of the 10 drugs that were negotiated in the IRA again.

Ryan Reynolds (20:35)

So this was, this was when Biden said, oh, we're going to be able to negotiate prices for 10 drugs. Here we go.

Unknown Speaker (20:43)

This is the bill, the law that regulates a negotiation process. This is the best price that was able to be obtained by the Biden administration.

Ryan Reynolds (20:53)

So after they said we're going to negotiate the prices of these 10 drugs, look, look how, look how much they negotiated the price ready.

Unknown Speaker (21:02)

And if you look at these numbers, they actually reflect how much on top of the most favored nation price was being paid by the United States. So the closest to me and Bob, you can point to the jardiance, the closest one, 289%. The one that's closest to you. That means that we are paying in America four times more than that drug costs in other countries, again, 100%.

Ryan Reynolds (21:24)

So that's 400% more. Four times equals 400% more. Even after they negotiated, after by remember Biden, we beat Big Pharma. This is how they beat them. We're only going to pay 400% more for that drug than the rest of the world does.

Unknown Speaker (21:43)

It's the baseline. It's 289% above that baseline. It goes all the way down to when we're paying 50% more than any other country.

Ryan Reynolds (21:50)

So the lowest is right here after, after they negotiated by administrator. We're paying 50% more than any other country. So that's the lowest. Do you understand how corrupt our government is? Doesn't sound like negotiations are really happening. It sounds weird. Doesn't sound like it sounds weird that Trump, Trump is the guy who's going to do this. Well, we'll see what happens, but we'll see what happens.

Unknown Speaker (22:20)

That's the range. As was pointed out by President Trump, half the time we're paying three times more than is paid in other countries. It doesn't make any sense for the system. That stated President Trump has over and over again indicated, as Secretary Kennedy reflected as well, we want innovation, we want our technology partners doing the best they can to make the best solutions for drugs that cure as many people in America and around the world as possible. By getting our allies to pay a bit more, as they should be and they should have for many years been doing, we'll course correct a problem that's gotten out of hand. And by doing that in a thoughtful, effective way, we're going to be able to get the pharmaceutical industry whole. Those jobs will still be here, will still be productive. We'll still be curing cancer and a slew of other ailments that plague humanity. America will still be the leader in this space, but we're paying the appropriate amount, the right sized amount for those tasks. So over the next 30 days, the four of us up here together with people standing in the back of this room, we're doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Are going to be approaching pharmaceutical companies to talk specifically about what we want the most favored nation price to be based on the best data we have. We're looking forward to a thoughtful interaction with these corporate leaders, many of whom we've spoken to and in quiet will agree the system is not right the way it is. They're patriotic Americans. They want what's right. But the fact that in my lifetime, as Secretary Kennedy said, for the first time, we have a thoughtful.

Ryan Reynolds (23:44)

And I like how he says that. The people I talk to in the pharmaceutical industry, in quiet, in private, they will admit that this is a screwed up system, but in public, they rape the country because they're politics. Is that funny? In private they know it's screwed up, you know, because they're, they're patriotic Americans. But in public they screw over the taxpayer horribly. That, that's basically what he just said. That's kind of funny. I didn't catch that the first time I listened to it.

Unknown Speaker (24:10)

So approach. Thanks to President Trump on taking on these special interests. I should give all Americans confidence that this is an administration that stands for fairness and it should chill the waters for those who believe they can push us away from our North Star, which is to take care of the American people. Mr. President, God bless you.

Ryan Reynolds (24:30)

And here's what Trump had to say at the end when he's signing it.

Jimmy Dore (24:33)

When now on top of the tax cuts and regulation cuts, all the things now you're going to say that the price of your medicine is going down by 60, 70, 80%. You're going to vote against it. I think a lot of Democrats are going to be forced to do something that their leaders are going to beg them not to do and that vote for the bill. I don't see how they can vote against it. How can they vote against it when drug prices, drugs and pharmaceuticals are going to be down 70, 80%?

Ryan Reynolds (25:01)

Believe me, they're gonna find a cockamamie reason to, to. No, it's no, we. I don't want to stop research on cancer. I don't want to stop research on diabetes. I don't want to start. That's what they're going to say. This, this is going to put, to take away all that research. This is going to take. So nobody could have any more innovations and people are just going to die. That's what they're going to say. They're going to say it. They're going to say it. Watch the so. So just to show you how bought they are by big Pharma, ABC News asks a question. Is it about this? Is it about how big pharma's been raping the taxpayer? Is it about how corrupt the Congress is and letting big pharma rape us? No. Watch what? Watch what the question is.

Jimmy Dore (25:45)

It's going to be very interesting.

Ryan Reynolds (25:46)

Mr. President wouldn't say to people who.

Sarah Paigeyu (25:48)

View that luxury jet as a personal gift to you.

Ryan Reynolds (25:51)

Why not? They, they didn't ask about this. They're asking about Qatar or Cotter or Gutter that just gifted the United States. Some people say Trump. Some people say the defense, they gave it to the country. Trump gets a free airplane. He doesn't have to pay for Air Force One. And so Connor just gave them a free airplane. I don't know how much it's worth. 400. Some people say $400 million. I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's not Trump's. Trump gets a free airplane. He gets a fly run on you. Air Force One. So Carter wants to give one to the United States. That's the dumbest, stupidest thing. They're acting like that's going in Trump's bank account or he's going to when he leaves office, he's going to take it with him. That's what their question is. So it's a dumb question. It's a question meant to incite. It's not meant to give information or to shed light on anything. It's a, it's a political gotcha question, which it isn't. Because I don't think anybody gives a shit. I certainly don't. Carter wants to give a plane to the United States for the President to use. Go ahead.

Sarah Paigeyu (27:04)

Leave it behind.

Jimmy Dore (27:05)

Your ABC fake news, right?

Ryan Reynolds (27:06)

Why not?

Jimmy Dore (27:07)

Only, only abc. Well, a few of you would let me tell you, you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us. I want to pay you a billion or 400 million or whatever it is. Or I could say, thank you very much. You know, there was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you ever HEAR he won 82 tournaments? He was a great golfer.

Ryan Reynolds (27:31)

You know what he said?

Jimmy Dore (27:32)

And he had a motto. When they give you a putt, pick.

Ryan Reynolds (27:35)

It up and go.

Jimmy Dore (27:35)

You say, thank you very much. You pick up your ball and you walk to the Next hole. A lot of people are stupid, but they say, no, no, I insist on putting it. Then they putt it and they miss.

Ryan Reynolds (27:43)

It and they miss the putt and.

Jimmy Dore (27:45)

Their partner gets angry at them. You know what? Remember that, Sam Snead, when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole and you say, thank you very much.

Ryan Reynolds (27:54)

Respectfully, sir, as a businessman, some people may look at this and say, have you ever been given a gift worth.

Sarah Paigeyu (28:00)

Millions of dollars and then not received anything?

Jimmy Dore (28:03)

It's not a gift to me. It's a gift to the Department of Defense. And you should know better because you've been embarrassed enough and so has your network. Your network is a disaster.

Ryan Reynolds (28:12)

By the way, ABC just had to pay Trump $15 million for defamation. Did you know that? That's what Trump should have said. Didn't you guys just have to pay me $15 million for defamation? So they're acting. So now the news, because they, because they don't want to cover actual news. They, they are now, they're spinning this as, oh, this is a gift from another country to the President.

Jimmy Dore (28:34)

ABC is a disaster. Here is the bill. Bobby, come on over here. Now you're talking about.

Ryan Reynolds (28:42)

Trump's got his own private jet. Plus he gets the private, he gets the US Air Force One. This is not a jet he's going to. It's just the dumbest thing anyway. So he's in the middle of doing something historic. And that's what they want to talk about. A non story. They're not, they're not talking about, hey, why didn't, why didn't Joe Biden ever do this? Why didn't Barack Obama do this? Why did, how, how could our government be so corrupted that this, it takes Donald Trump to do this? That's their question. The headline here should be, Wharton Business School Grad takes down Ivy League grad in mere seconds. It's so this is what. So the AP says, hey, it's unclear what, if any, impact the Republican President's executive order will have on millions of Americans who have private health insurance. So they go, they jump right to, well, what. So it's. Of course it's unclear. So they try, they're downplaying this immediately instead of saying, yes, thank God somebody finally is talking about this. The federal government has the most power to shape the price it pays for drugs covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Trump's promise, new but uncertain savings on drug prices. Just hours after the Republican Lighthouse released its new plan to trim 880 billion from Medicaid. Taxpayers spend hundreds of billions of dollars on prescription drugs, injectables, transfusions and other through Medicare, which covers 70 million people. Medicaid covers 80. So that's 150 million people. Right? What are there 330 million Americans? That's almost half the country is already covered. So let me ask you really quickly, Jimmy, on something like this, I just wanted clarification. If he reduces these drug prices, is that only for maga? No, it's for everybody. What? He's doing something for everybody. That's what it seems like. That sounds like bullshit. The nation's pharmaceutical lobby, which represents the top US Drug makers, immediately pushed back against Trump's order, calling it a bad deal for Americans. Drug makers have long argued that any threats to their profits could impact the research they do to develop new drugs. See, you guys have to pay 400% more than the rest of the world because then we won't be able to do our research. Importing foreign prices from social. Oh, it's socialist countries. Do you hear what they're doing? Big Pharma. Are they the scum of the earth? Yes, they are. The answer is yes. Hey, you better keep the system just the way it is or we're going to make use some really dangerous drugs. How about that? It's going to be all side effects, no benefits. Next thing you know, you're going to wake up gambling in Las Vegas in your, in your pajamas with anal leakage. And that's just what the commercial says it's going to do. It would meet less treatments and cures and it would jeopardize the hundreds of billions our member companies are planning to invest in. We're not. We're planning on investing that money. It's amazing the balls on these pharma guys, right? It's that this is exactly what the Mafia would say, no, we're going to help you with that money. The narrow executive order faces hurdles with a court order that blocked the rule from going into effect under President Joe Biden's administration. The pharmaceutical industry argued that Trump's 2020 attempt would give foreign governments the upper hand in deciding the value of. So Trump tried. He tried this once. He did. He did. However, Trump did. So he, he blamed foreign countries. He's not blaming McPharma, which I think is a quite a slight of hand, but however, he did threaten the companies with federal investigations into their practices and, and opening up the US Drug market to bring in more imported medications from other countries. That sounds like that should be the lead. The pharmaceutical companies make most of their profits from America, trump said. That's not a good thing. That's not a good thing. Trump played up the announcement over the weekend, boasting in a post that his plan would save trillions of dollars. But on Monday, the White House offered no specifics or how much money the administration anticipates it could save. The health department's top leaders will be meeting with drug company executives over the next 30 days to offer new prices on drugs that are based off what other countries pay. Wow. It's got to be a catch. There's always a catch. Are we going to see Bayer NRA children's aspirins with real orange flavor? So anyway, that's good news that AP tries to turn into bad news and ABC tries to make it about a plane that has nothing to do with anything. So we'll see. Isn't it something they're going to, they're going to cut $880 billion out of Medicaid, but they're not going to cut that out of the Pentagon. They're actually going to increase the Pentagon. Pentagon, which can't pass. Nobody wants to increase their. It's just amazing. Believe me, that would. It's amazing.

Ryan Reynolds (34:58)

So I don't know if you heard the news, but Trump negotiated directly with Hamas to get an American prisoner released or hostage. So this, that's a big deal that he cut Out, Bibi. Right, so that's what. That's the super good news here. There's also a couple of twists to this story. He's here. I'm happy to announce that Eden Alexander, an American citizen, but he's also more than that, and I'm going to tell you that in a second. Who has been held hostage since October 23, is coming home to his family. I'm grateful for all those involved. This was the step taken in good faith towards the United States and efforts of its mediators, Cotter and Egypt. Hey, Connor. I'm also vocally against this brutal war. Can I have a private jet, too now? Come on. Am I right? Come on. I got a lot of road gigs coming up and poof.

Unknown Speaker (35:59)

Hey, gutter. I'll say your name, right?

Ryan Reynolds (36:00)

Gutter, Gutter.

Unknown Speaker (36:01)

Semi.

Ryan Reynolds (36:02)

A jet to put an end to this brutal war and return all living hostages and remains of their loved ones. Hopefully this is the first of those final steps necessary to end this brutal conflict. I look very much forward to the day, this day of celebration. So. So he negotiates. So Trump negotiates directly with Yemen and says, hey, just don't bomb us. We won't bomb you. We're done having Israel's back over here in this fight. So cuts out. That's great. He then does a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia and says, hey, you don't have to recognize Israel. So that's two. And now this is the third one. That's like, just in a couple of days. Now, some people are saying this is all theater to make it look like there's a split between BB and Trump and it really isn't. But I'll take the theater. At least I guess we'll find out whether.

Unknown Speaker (36:59)

Whether it is or not, you know, from whatever actual results come of it.

Ryan Reynolds (37:04)

Netanyahu claims Israel breaking the ceasefire, imposing a starvation siege and killing 2500 people is why Hamas will release Eden Alexander. So that's what he's trying to say, right? Netanyahu, like, see us starving them worked. They're releasing a guy.

Unknown Speaker (37:20)

Yeah. He didn't want them to release the guy, by the way.

Ryan Reynolds (37:22)

By the way. He did not want them to release. Of course he doesn't. Hamas has said it would release him right before the ceasefire was broken. He would. He would have been home two months ago if it wasn't for Netanyahu. And I think most everyone knows that now except demented psychopathic Zionists. And you have to be. You have to be a serious psychopath to be still a Zionist at this Point.

Unknown Speaker (37:47)

Well, that's pretty strong programming.

Ryan Reynolds (37:49)

I mean, people say, how did. How did the. How did it. The Holocaust happen right in front of her? Well, you're letting this happen right in front of it, and there are people defending it all over the place.

Unknown Speaker (37:59)

Yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (38:00)

How did Hitler happen this? Well, how did. Well, you're seeing how it happened. They're literally starving a group of women and children. Kids are literally. I am not going to show you the pictures because it's too heartbreaking, but you see them on Twitter. Little babies literally starve to death. And, and that's. This isn't like I'm. I'm putting this together. The Israeli officials are saying we are starving them on purpose.

Unknown Speaker (38:29)

Well, I know.

Ryan Reynolds (38:29)

So there's no hospitals. They flattened all the hospitals. There's no food, there's no medicine. There's no nothing. This is how. This is called the genocide. That's what it's called. So you could quibble over that word or not, but it's textbook definition of what it was, what it is.

Unknown Speaker (38:43)

Well, I know you have a left wing take on it.

Ryan Reynolds (38:46)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (38:50)

No, I would agree to disagree. You know, you have the left wing. Take that, don't do that genocide.

Ryan Reynolds (38:55)

So this guy, Eden. What's his name? Eden Alexander, you might as well call him Chip, because that's what Bibi's bargaining with him, a bargaining chip. Max Blumenthal says Netanyahu freaked out when Trump's team initiated direct talks with Hamas for Eden Alexander, who is a duel. Yeah, US And Israelis said, now you're sad. There's more of the story comes out.

Unknown Speaker (39:20)

Yeah, my ex girlfriend was.

Ryan Reynolds (39:21)

A lot of people are, yeah, but that's just more of. It's coming. Hold on. Now. It appears Israel has targeted the site where Alexander was held, raising new questions about its use of the Hannibal Directive to kill hostages in Gaza and thereby reduce the main point of political leverage for Hamas. So now what Max is saying is that Israel's now bombing where they were keeping those hostages to try to kill the hostages.

Unknown Speaker (39:48)

It's called the Hannibal Directive.

Ryan Reynolds (39:49)

It's called the Hannibal Directive.

Unknown Speaker (39:50)

And you can watch their news and their talk shows and see the guy that. Who's the guy that Bibi fired? Said. And they go, was it the Hannibal Directive given? He goes, it was given. And some. He was like, it was given, yes, when it should be given. And so that's why with those guys that were waving the IDF down with.

Ryan Reynolds (40:08)

Their shirts off, and they killed him.

Unknown Speaker (40:10)

And I was like, why would they do that? I Just bet. No, they've got a Hannibal directive to do that.

Ryan Reynolds (40:15)

So Max goes on to say, since October 7, Israel has killed dozens of Israeli citizens in Gaza. And there is every reason to believe it was done according to official Hannibal orders. So there you go. But I. So, but the bigger news is that Trump went straight to Hamas. And so I saw somebody say on Twitter that this says a couple of things, that Hamas actually still has a lot of power because you don't negotiate with a group of people that don't have any power. And the second thing was that. I forget what the second thing was.

Unknown Speaker (40:54)

Well, they made every living person there into Hamas. Israel did.

Ryan Reynolds (40:58)

Yeah. Kill them. That's right.

Unknown Speaker (40:59)

So once you do that now, by de facto they're the most important entity there.

Ryan Reynolds (41:03)

Right. So here's from CNN. He was held for 18 months. They announced on Saturday night it had agreed to free him. He's 21 years old. After several days of talks with the United States as part of an effort to reach a ceasefire and resume the flow of humanitarian aid. So they've stopped medicine and food and water into Gaza. So they're trying to. So that's called siege warfare, which is a war crime, you know. Yeah. Okay. No one cares. The group handed Alexander to the Red Cross on Monday, and he returned to Israeli soils shortly after. He later arrived at an Israeli military base for a medical assessment and a long awaited reunion with his family. The Hostages and Missing Families forum said he has spoken with his mother, Yale, over the phone. Alexander, wearing a black Adidas T shirt and a baseball cap, was photographed during his handover to the Red Cross shortly before his convoy left Khan Yunis and headed towards Israel. Hold on. In the living room in Tel Aviv, footage showed his family celebrating his release comes just days after US President Donald Trump begins his Middle east tour, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Get here comes a New Jersey native. He was serving in the Israeli military. Kurt.

Unknown Speaker (42:28)

Oh, that's an automatic.

Ryan Reynolds (42:30)

So he was more than a US Citizen. He was one of those crazies.

Unknown Speaker (42:35)

Well, thank you for your service. Well, thank you.

Ryan Reynolds (42:38)

Thank you for your service. So he was. He was serving in these. He went from the United States to Israel to serve in their military and he got abducted near the Gazan border on October 7.

Unknown Speaker (42:51)

Everybody has to serve. So that's why, when you see the Hannibal directive is for idf, that means everybody. Because they all get the way. A terrorist would target all your citizens.

Ryan Reynolds (43:02)

That's right.

Unknown Speaker (43:02)

They do to their citizens.

Ryan Reynolds (43:04)

So as foretold in the Old Testament Kurt. Yeah, he was from the original tribe based out of New Jersey.

Unknown Speaker (43:12)

Yes. The tribes of Haganah and Stern gang. That's the lost tribes.

Ryan Reynolds (43:16)

So now you know the rest. So that's there. That's what I was saying. Hold on. He's more than a U. S. Citizen.

Unknown Speaker (43:23)

He's wonder Woman.

Ryan Reynolds (43:24)

That's what Trump said. Trump didn't dance. Trump didn't tell you he was also a guy, one of those nuts who goes over there to fight in somebody else's army, you know, helps an occupation. Following Alexander's release, 58 hostages are still being held in Gaza with at least 20 believed to be alive. Benjamin Netanyahu called Monday a very emotional moment. Yeah, emotional for you because now, you know, when you go back to Washington, D.C. trump's not gonna. Trump's not gonna do your laundry for you.

Unknown Speaker (43:55)

I hope.

Ryan Reynolds (43:56)

I hope he pr. He effusively praised Trump for securing his. Yeah, yank, yank.

Unknown Speaker (44:03)

A winning combination.

Ryan Reynolds (44:04)

This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the diplomatic pressure applied by Trump. This is a winning combination. Oh, really?

Unknown Speaker (44:11)

I don't like that talk. When he says it's a winning combination. It has always meant a losing combination.

Ryan Reynolds (44:17)

Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was very emotional for Netanyahu because now he's losing reasons to continue the slaughter. That's. That's what that means. I spoke with President Trump today. He told me, I am committed to Israel. I'm committed to continue to work with you in close cooperation in order to achieve all of our war objectives, releasing all of the hostages and defeating Hamas. His statement, can you. This goes together. They are combined with each other. Trump hailed the development as monumental news in a post on Truth Social where he's representing Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardwai told the Hamas affiliated TV station that the militant group classified as a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel directly negotiated with the United States to free Alexander in exchange for the resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Trump's. That guy Witkoff, Trump's guy, He told CNN that the talks with Hamas were indirect. He is expected to meet with Netanyahu on Monday afternoon, according to it. So. Really? Okay. All right. Well, Gaza is on the brink of famine. I don't think it's the brink anymore.

Unknown Speaker (45:35)

This brink of famine was like a year ago.

Ryan Reynolds (45:37)

I think they're famine. As Israelis blockade of humanitarian aid and commercial goods stretches into its second month, depleting food warehouses and soup kitchens and sending the cost of basic goods skyrocketing. Israel says it cut off the entry of humanitarian aid to pressure Hamas to release hots. So that's again, that's a war crime. You can't cut off medicine, water and food to women and children and elderly men for a political outcome. That's called siege warfare. That's called a war crime. That's called, you are the Nazis.

Unknown Speaker (46:10)

But what if I want to kill the hostages, too?

Ryan Reynolds (46:12)

Yeah, right. But international organizations, that's like saying, I'm angry at this guy so I'm going to starve his baby.

Unknown Speaker (46:22)

They'll never forgive him for making me do that to his baby.

Ryan Reynolds (46:25)

Yeah. International organizations say it's its actions violate. So CNN won't say it. They'll say some international organizations say it violates international law.

Unknown Speaker (46:36)

You think the results of the Nuremberg trials, what do you think the genocide definition comes from that? I didn't make it out.

Ryan Reynolds (46:44)

Some, some are accusing Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war. That's obviously what they're doing. CNN's like, well, some people say, yeah, I'm not. We're not going to say it, but.

Unknown Speaker (46:57)

Somebody spreading the thing. Hey. Some people say Macron was doing blow with those guys.

Ryan Reynolds (47:01)

Some people say Macron's wife is a dude. Israel has not said it will resume humanitarian aid into Gaza. Netanyahu's office said in a statement on Monday that Israel has not committed to a ceasefire nor the release of any Palestinian prisoners, only to a safe corridor that will allow for Eden's release. Only actual humans would restore humanitarian aid. So of course Netanyahu is not going to do that. In a post on social media, Trump said he hoped the release would lead to the end of this brutal conflict. But the longtime Israeli prime minister said that the negotiations will take place under fire. Mahmoud Abbas, he's the president of the Palestinian Authority, the plo. He said in a Monday statement he welcomed efforts to halt the war and issued rare praise for Trump. Abbas commented that the commended the US President Donald Trump for his position in which he later hopes to bring the end to the vicious conflict and the war that has been going on for two years. Okay, well, that's nice. APAC tracker says reminded that reminder that Eden Alexander is a dual American Israeli citizen who moved overseas to join the Israeli military so he could take partake in ethnic cleansing and genocide. He was a prisoner of war. He's not an innocent hostage. Well said.

Unknown Speaker (48:29)

Do you remember when they were threatening the hostages who were saying they were treated well?

Ryan Reynolds (48:33)

Yeah. Better not say that.

Unknown Speaker (48:34)

That's why they have a Hannibal directive, because it's a hassle when they live that's right. And they don't feed into your narrative.

Ryan Reynolds (48:42)

Stu Peters says Eden Alexander is a dual citizen who was serving in a foreign military where he participated in committing genocide against innocent Palestinian kids. The kid is a traitor and shouldn't be allowed back on US Soil. That's according to Stu Peters. He's, he's a super right winger.

Unknown Speaker (49:01)

Well, is, is he a trait?

Ryan Reynolds (49:02)

I mean, Israel breaks Gaza ceasefire, killing more than 400 in a wave of strikes. That was from March 18th. Israel did that. See, this person just repeats Trump's post about it and says no mention of Palestinian hostages being released. Isn't that interesting?

Unknown Speaker (49:25)

No, I think they marched for the right for the IDF soldiers to rape them in prison, if you recall.

Ryan Reynolds (49:31)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (49:32)

Chabad.

Ryan Reynolds (49:36)

So then they, the Prime Minister releases their stupid thing that makes it sound like Jeremy Scahill says Al Qassam Brigades on release of the. This is what they say. We affirm that serious and responsible negotiations achieve results in the release of prisoners. However, continuing the aggression prolongs their suffering and may kill them. Of course it does. We affirm the movement's readiness to immediately begin negotiations to reach a comprehensive and sustainable cease fire agreement. We urge the Trump administration to continue its efforts to end this brutal war waged by the war criminal Netanyahu against children, women and defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip. And everybody is saying the problem is Netanyahu. Even the former prime ministers, Ehud Barack, is that his name is saying, yeah, the problem here is Benjamin Netanyahu. It's not Hamas, it's not the Palestinian babies. It's Netanyahu because he's wanted this all along. They want to f. They want to make it so unlivable in Gaza, which they've done. And now they're starving them so that they'll. It'll be such a horrible disaster that they'll leave and go to other countries. That's what this is all about. So that the Israeli Zionists can take over Gaza 100%. By the way, don't forget there's half a trillion dollars worth of gas underneath Gaza. Half a trillion. And so they could also take over the West Bank. There are reports that Trump is going to recognize Palestine, Palestine as its own state. Kenneth Ross tweets out. It's a good, it's good that Trump wants the Nobel Prize to merit one. He needs to stand up to Netanyahu. No ethnic cleansing in Gaza. No forever war there, so Netanyahu can avoid prison. No more Israeli opposition to a Palestinian state. The headline here is Trump wants Nobel Peace prize. Here's how he can earn one. So this is from the Jerusalem Post. Gulf diplomatic sources debate if Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf US Summit in mid May. During Trump's Mideast visit, speculation swirls over a major announcement on a Palestinian state and peaceful US Saudi nuclear cooperation. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017 during Trump's first term. The summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia and its capital Riyadh, was preceded by numerous predictions regarding the announcement that Trump referred to, describing it as a very important announcement during a meeting with most important announcement ever. Everybody's talking about this announcement. It's a phenomenal announcement. We've never seen an announcement like this describing as a very important announcement during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White house on Tuesday, May 6. In addition to what Trump intends to announce, the summit's agenda and the deals and agreements expected to take place have become the talk of the town, ranging from security and military deals to technology deals and artificial intelligence deals. A lot of deals. Some of these are some of the best deals we got. Multiple deals everybody's excited about. Nobody's ever. No one's ever seen deals like these. These are phenomenal deals. All GOLF leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf US Summit with the exception of King Salman bin Abdullah Zizi, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health. Okay, I thought he was going to be there. Even though he had bad health. I heard he was going to be there. But Jerusalem Post says he's not. A Gulf diplomatic source who declined to be named or disclose his position, told the Media Line President Trump will issue a declaration regarding the state of Palestine and American recognition of it. So that's an anonymous source. That's an anonymous diplomat. Is that real? I don't know. Is that hopeful thinking? Wishful thinking? Wouldn't that be amazing? That would be amazing. That would screw up Zionism and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas. I'm sure Hamas would disband if that Trump negotiated. Hey, we're going to turn things over to the PLO or we're going to have a new election and it Hamas can't be on the ballot and but we're in exchange we're going to give you United States is going to recognize you as a state. I 100% they would, they would go along with that. The source also added if if an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made. It will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle east. And more countries will join the Abraham Accords. The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee denied this stuff. Of course he did, because he's more of Zionist than Netanyahu is. He said Israel has no better friend. Ahmed Al Ibrahim, a former Gulf diplomat told the Media Line, I don't expect it to be about Palestine. Oh, really? So now we have conflicting. Egyptian President Abdel Farah El Sisi. I love their names. And it's like, you know, it's, it's, you know how they gave Fat Tony? That's what all this says. That El Sisi a, you know, like Joey the Nose. That's what all this shit is. Right? And King Abdullah the Second of Jordan have not been invited. Oh really? So the Egyptian president and the Jordanian president have not been invited. They are the two countries closest to Palestine and it would be important for them to be president, any event like this. So that's why that guy says, I don't think that's happening, because if it was, those guys would be there. Al Ibrahim also said there will be major deals coming, perhaps similar to what happened in 2017. Gulf US emit with the Saudis deals worth more than 400 billion. Let's not forget that the United Arab Emirates announced investments in the US worth more than a trillion dollars. And Saudi has announced investments worth more than 600 billion. That's not small change. This is clear because President Trump intends to visit the United Arab Emirates and Qatar after concluding his visit to Saudi Arabia. These are two important economies with significant financial resources and major investments in the United States. This other guy, Ahmed Bushoki. Have you ever had the Bushoki? Just last week. They pan fry him with that sauce. Fantastic. They melt in your mouth. The Bashokis. I remember my grandma used to make the Pyogis and the Boshoki. They were fantastic. A Saudi political analyst told the Media Line, this isn't. This is about major economic deals that will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Perhaps. US President Trump hinted at this when he told the American people to buy stocks now before his big announcement in the next two days. Remember that. Regarding the news of peaceful US Saudi nuclear cooperation to generate electricity in Saudi Arabia. Bushaki said Saudi Arabia has had a program announced since 2010 and it has been discussed several times before international companies are now working to implement these. So Saudi Arabia wants to go to nuclear power. You think, you think they'd want to use oil? You know, we're going to sell our oil and we're going to go to nuclear. Is that what they're doing? Plans are currently underway in Saudi Arabia to build the kingdom's first nuclear reactor with several international companies competing to design a building reactor. Meanwhile, the neighboring Gulf country, the United Arab Emirates already owns the the Baraka reactor and is the only Arab country with a four reactor nuclear power plant in collaboration with a Korean company. Get the f out of here. Breaking after the information from Jerusalem Times that Trump is planning to recognize the Palestinian state. Israel foreign minister came out with a threat. Unilateral recognition of Palestine state will force unilateral actions in response. So these guys are just terrorists? Israel are just, just mel. Our friend the village crazy lady says this is from February 2024. These were the conditions the Saudis committed to then. No relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders. The Trump team accepted this as a precondition for normalcy Is a big deal. I know it's not as much as some wanted. I get it, I do. But the Biden administration did everything short of threatening KSA with military action to get them to drop this demand and they wouldn't do it. So Trump acknowledging it and saying that the official US Position is to respect that request is a big step in the right direction. So here she links to it. Saudi Arabia says no relations with Israel before recognition. Recognition of a Palestinian state with 167 borders. And here it is. In a statement released early Wednesday, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the kingdom has informed Washington that it will have diplomat relations with is that it will have. No. I got to read this. I got to look at it. That it will have no diplomatic relations with Israel until an independent Palestinian state is established on the 67 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and Israel ends its offense offense on the Gaza Strip and withdraws its troops from the enclave. So good on Saudi Arabia, I guess. And good on Trump. We'll see what happens. This is a fingers crossed moment. I don't have faith, but I have hope. At least there's some hope. So that's great, great hope. All right, we'll see what happens. If Trump does that, does this, he will get the Nobel prize. I bet he wants one. I bet it would really be sticking it to Obama. I bet nothing matters more than him right now than to try to figure out a way to get a Nobel prize. I bet you that's what he's going to try and do. We'll see. Hey, become a premium member.
