Political Commentator
Republican leaders are in freakout mode right now over Donald Trump's disastrous foreign policy. I don't even want to call them blunders, massive catastrophes as Donald Trump has announced that he's doing a board of peace, he's calling it, and the first people he invited were Belarus and Russia, Putin and Lukashenko. All these other nations right now are saying, we ain't joining a peace board with Putin and Lukashenko. And Trump's like, but you got to give me $1 billion and I'll put it in a Qatari bank account. Republican leaders themselves are freaking out. And it's not even just about that or Donald Trump threatening to invade Greenland or Donald Trump destroying NATO. Just look at what's happening in Syria right now. As the forces of the current government, which is run by a former ISIS leader, Al Jelani, who know, who now goes by the name Al Sharara, that's the guy who Donald Trump sprayed the cologne and started sniffing him in the Oval Office, they have basically destroyed the Kurdish forces in the north of Syria. And those Kurdish forces, specifically the kind of Kurdish Democratic forces Syrian, the Syrian Democratic Forces, they were the ones who helped defeat ISIS in that region. Remember all those powerful women fighters, the female fighters that joined with the Kurdish fighters, a multiethnic coalition. Well, now the Syrian government right now that's led by the former ISIS guy who was fighting against them and they were fighting against ISIS back in 2015, 2016. They've now basically taken over the Syrian Democratic Forces. And you've got people like Lindsey Graham posting the following. Let me show you what Lindsey's posting. Then I'm going to talk about what MAGA Mike is saying. And by the way, it's still Martin Luther King Day. Donald Trump has not made a single post about mlk. Instead, Donald Trump's talking about arresting Don Lemon and he's saying we got to arrest Don Lemon now because Don Lemon was reporting inside of a church when there was a protest against the leader of the church there, who was an ICE officer. Let's take a look at what Lindsey Graham posted moments ago. Lindsey Graham posts if the Syrian government forces continue to advance in the north toward Raqqa, I will push for reimposing the CAESAR act sanctions on steroids. Apparently no one in Syria is listening to me or other US Government officials. If this continues, not only will there be bone crushing sanctions, it will permanently damage the relationship between the US and the new Syrian government. If you think we're BSing, keep it up. I've tried to be fair to the new government, but apparently it's falling on deaf ears. If you want a conflict with the US Senate and to do permanent damage to the US Syrian relationship, keep going. If you want to salvage the relationship, stop and turn around. I hope you choose wisely. As our editor in chief Ron Philip Koski writes, I thought Trump said the Syrian government was our friend now. He invited their President to the Oval Office and praised him effusively, gave him a bottle of Trump cologne, even sprayed some on him to give him a sample. Right, and so apparently the Senator from Tel Aviv apparently doesn't agree. Just to remind you what's going on right now, Syrian government troops are tearing down the Women's Protection Units, the YPJ statute in northeast of Syria. This is basically the end of the autonomous Kurdish led region in Syria. As Joshua Landis writes, which has existed for a decade because the US basically withdrew its support from the SDF and the Kurds who fought alongside the US in order to stop isis. What a betrayal. As Pelly Dragstead writes, Donald Trump is disgracefully abandoning our Kurdish allies in Syria in favor of the new Islamicist regime in Damascus. The Kurds fought a alongside us against ISIS and lost thousands of lives for our shared cause. The Kurdish regions of Rohava have stood as examples of democracy and equal rights in the Middle East. This is a shameful Betrayal by Trump. Just put all of Trump's other conduct together, whether it's propping up Delsey Rodriguez in Venezuela, authoritarian leader there, so that Trump can take oil money from Venezuela, transfer it to a bank account in Qatar for Donald Trump. Donald Trump creating a so called peace board, asking for a billion dollars to bas, destroy Naito, destroy our alliances. Have Putin and Lukashenko join, pay Trump a billion dollars. Trump puts it in a Qatari bank account so that it's for him, not for us, while making alliances with Russia and Lukashenko. What the hell is going on there? You have Donald Trump again saying to the protesters in Iran, America will help you go out and protest. And then Donald Trump's like, well, the Ayatollah told me he's not going to hang 800 people. I respect what the Ayatollah did. Donald Trump wants authoritarians in power who pay him money personally so he can put it in Qatari bank accounts. That's what's taking place. Another statement from Graham. Then I'll show you what some of these other magazines are saying. Lindsey Graham says, you cannot unite Syria by the use of military force, as the Syrian government leader Ahmed Al Shara is trying to do. You mean Al Jelani, the ISIS leader who's now running Syria, who Donald Trump sprayed cologne on and sniffed. And obviously Syria, when Donald Trump removed the sanctions against them, view that as a sign of weakness for them to take over the Syrian Democratic Forces and the ypj, the Kurdish women's forces. This move by Syrian government forces against SDF members is fraught with peril. I would expect Congress would want to have hearings and briefings asap. I believe this would be appropriate. Finally, it was the SDF forces that were the boots on the ground when Trump destroyed ISIS in his first term. I believe we owe them better. Lindsay, you're the problem. You're the one out there who say, you know, you have that weird face you do where you're like, yeah, we're.

D A S Now, just a reminder what Donald Trump said, that the Kurds are great people during his first term. Here's what Donald Trump said, just so we have that on record here, play this clip.
- [10:26]
Perfume Salesman
We do get along great with the Kurds. We're trying to help them a lot. Don't forget that's their territory. We have to help them. I want to help them. Go ahead. What's next? They fought with us. They fought with us. They died with us. They died. We lost. Tens of thousands of Kurds died fighting isis. They died for us and with us and for themselves. They died for themselves. But they're great people. And we have not forget. We don't forget. I don't forget what happens someday later. But I can tell you that I don't forget these are great people.

Not going to play this clip because it's in Russian, but you have the Russian TV right now saying Americans are delivering a catastrophic blow to NATO. It's benefiting this. How great? Donald Trump pretending to be the emperor. This is the best for Russia. He's destroying the NATO alliance. That's what they're saying on Russian TV right now. Checking in with Maga Mike Johnson about Greenland. Maga Mike Johnson says, oh, when it comes to Greenland, Donald Trump's playing chess. You see, he wanted all of the other countries to send special forces to Greenland in order to stop a US Invasion, in order to make Greenland great again. Here, play this clip.
- [11:35]
MAGA Mike Johnson
Well, I don't foresee military intervention in Greenland. It's a small population of people, and I think diplomatic channels is the way to go. And I think the president's appointment of an envoy, you know, recognizes that.
- [11:49]
Interviewer
So should we not pay attention to the president's threat?
- [11:52]
MAGA Mike Johnson
No, we know we should pay attention to his words, but I think people are heeding that. I noted that the UK and some other native allies have people there.
- [12:03]
Political Commentator
Now, Maga Mike is then asked about Donald Trump. This is on BBC. They did a great interview with him, saying that Trump's only limits are his own mortality. Here, play this. Morality. Mortality, morality. Freudians live there. Here's what Mag and Mike says here, play this clip.
- [12:20]
Interviewer
Many people in this country look at how President Trump conducts diplomacy, also how he conducts himself at home. The president said the only limits on his power are my own morality. Have you got another king 250 years after getting rid of the last one?
- [12:35]
MAGA Mike Johnson
No, we don't have a king. We have a strong commander in chief. And America needed that. And frankly, freedom loving people around the world needed that. Strong America is good for everybody around the globe. And most people recognize that and state it as an objective fact. He's exerting peace through strength. Again, he uses bravado sometimes to do it. That's his personality. But you know what? The American people voted for a strong personality.
- [12:56]
Political Commentator
And Maga Mike has asked about Donald Trump's behavior, where Donald Trump's like acting like he's a king or something. Here, play this clip.
- [13:04]
MAGA Mike Johnson
I would challenge the premise of the question. He does consult with Congress. The president and I consult together all the time. Daily. He talks with Leader Thune, the Republican leader in the Senate as well. Our colleagues are conferring with him constantly. And this is the most engaged and involved president with Congress probably in the history of the country. I mean, if you go back, really.
- [13:24]
Interviewer
When even some Republican senators are concerned about the balance between the Oval Office.
- [13:29]
MAGA Mike Johnson
And Congress, well, there's a constant friction. Our system is set up so that we have the balance of powers. And it doesn't mean in any way that we are yielding any of our authority as a legislative branch. It means that we are trying to unify the government and work in an efficient and effective manner for the people. And I will say the record that we have produced is one that we are quite proud to run on.
- [13:48]
Political Commentator
But MAGA Mike says that everybody needs to rally behind Donald Trump right now because he says that Trump's policies are popular despite Trump having the lowest approval imaginable. Play this clip.
- [13:59]
MAGA Mike Johnson
We have an incredible record to run on.
- [14:00]
Perfume Salesman
You embrace Trump.
- [14:02]
Political Commentator
You're a swing district.
- [14:03]
MAGA Mike Johnson
Run with Trump. Absolutely. His, his policies are working. All boats are rising. These economic numbers are going to be off the charts. People are going to be feeling very good about their incomes and their opportunity and their liberty and they're going to, they're going to reward Republicans for those policies.
- [14:17]
Political Commentator
And finally, here's what Ted Cruz had to say about it all. Let's play this clip.
- [14:21]
Ted Cruz
When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single mindedly focus on America first on U.S. economic interest and U.S. national security interest. I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland.
