00:00Patrick, do you think this kind of negotiating strategy adopted by the president is going to be proven effective this
00:08time around?
00:09Or do you think that the level of deterrence from these sorts of threats is starting to wear thin because
00:18it doesn't materialize?
00:22Well, before I answer that question, your other guest, Ryan, accused me of being paid by RT.
00:27I have my own media outlet, 21st Century Wire.
00:30It's been running since 2009, which is longer than Ryan's been doing propaganda for the U.S. and Israeli government.
00:37But I don't get paid by RT.
00:39So that's just libel.
00:40In the past, all right.
00:41Thank you for clarifying that.
00:43That's just libel.
00:43In the past, I was referring to.
00:45And you're doing that on global TV, Ryan.
00:48So you've shown everybody what you're about, who you are.
00:51Okay.
00:52Now to answer the question.
00:54Now to answer the host's question.
00:56There are no negotiation tactics by the Trump administration.
01:01They're going to net any sort of sustainable political settlement.
01:05And what you have is just constant flip-flopping, constant changing, withdrawing, and then coming back again with a different
01:13position, doing things in midstream.
01:15As we saw from Islamabad, the team they sent, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, effectively two Israeli assets or glorified
01:25Israeli emissaries who have no track record of any success in any of these failed negotiations.
01:31And J.D. Vance, who we now know was on the phone to Donald Trump over a dozen times, as
01:37well as Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:39So that's the vice president of the United States who has zero decision-making capability, zero agency, who's really just
01:46there as window dressing to make the negotiations look legitimate because of all the criticism that Kushner and Witkoff have
01:52been receiving.
01:53So if that's the negotiation team, I think there's zero percent, zero percent chance of success.
02:00And again, if you look at the previous pattern, it's predictable.
02:03The United States has used high-level negotiations as a facade to prepare to reload and rearm.
02:10And I believe that's what's going to happen.
02:12Amen.
