Trump's True Social Post on Putin Call
🎦 00:30-01:30⏩
Jonathan details two significant developments: a telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and Trump's subsequent request to halt the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill against Russia. He then reads Trump's own statement from True Social regarding a 75-minute call with Putin. Key discussion points mentioned were:
- "The attack on Russia's docked airplanes by Ukraine" and "various other attacks by both sides."
- Putin's strong assertion that he "will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."
- Iran's nuclear weapons programme, with Trump stating Iran "cannot have a nuclear weapon" and Putin suggesting he could assist in discussions for a "rapid conclusion."
Trump concluded by stating his opinion that Iran has been "slow walking their decision" and that a definitive answer is required swiftly.

Analysis of Trump-Putin Call and Iran Diversion
🎦 01:31-02:25⏩
Jonathan immediately identifies Trump's focus on Iran as a distraction technique, designed to divert attention from Russia. He critically notes Trump's failure to seize the opportunity to apply pressure on Russia, especially concerning Putin's threat of retaliation for Ukrainian airfield attacks. Jonathan asserts that Trump "sidesteps any opportunity... for giving Russia a hard time" and instead pivots directly to discussing Iran. He dismisses the call as "a whole lot of nothing" beyond providing Putin a platform for his threats, which Jonathan views as a clear demonstration of US weakness and Trump's consistent capitulation to Putin, labelling him "the ultimate chicken."

Trump Requests Delay of Russia Sanctions Bill
🎦 02:27-04:09⏩
Following the phone call, Jonathan reports that Donald Trump has asked the Senate to delay consideration of the Russia sanctions bill. This was confirmed by Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker. Jonathan speculates that Putin exerted pressure on the US during the conversation, resulting in US capitulation rather than the US pressuring Putin. He highlights the frustration this action will cause Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham, who have been working tirelessly on this bipartisan sanctions bill, which already had 82 signatories in the Senate and was widely expected to pass the House of Representatives with ease.

Jonathan's Assessment of Trump's Weakness and Capitulation
🎦 04:09-05:28⏩
Jonathan expresses his profound disapproval of Trump's actions, deeming them "absolutely unacceptable" and "disgraceful." He passionately argues that Trump is "the weakest of the weak," consistently backing down to strongmen and being "beholden to the dictators that he's such a fanboy of." Jonathan suggests that Congress must "take the reins of power back off the dictator, sorry, of Donald Trump" to steer the country in the correct direction, as Trump is currently "single-handedly doing everything" and is "beholden to a dictator from Russia." He challenges any Trump supporters to justify how Trump displays strength, reiterating his belief that he does not.
