Trump Suggests That U.S. 'Peace Force' Control Gaza
President Trump said he sees Gaza as a valuable piece of real estate.
- 14 minutes
Mr. President, given what you've
said about Gaza, did the U.S.
Send troops
to help secure the security vacuum?
As far as Gaza is concerned, we will do
what is necessary, if it's necessary.
We'll do that.
It's been very made very clear
to the president that the United
[00:00:16]
States needs to be involved in
this rebuilding effort to ensure stability
in the region for all people,
but that does not mean
boots on the ground in Gaza.
It does not mean American taxpayers
will be funding this effort.
He did not rule out American troops
in Gaza last night.
Are you doing that now?
[00:00:31]
I am saying that the president
has not committed to that just yet.
Well, it appears that he's now
committing to it because.
Well, in early February,
President Donald Trump suggested that the
United States would send troops to Gaza.
We would have boots on the ground
to essentially assist Israel
[00:00:51]
in ethnically cleansing Palestinians
from the land that belongs to them.
But today, Trump stated, you know,
that that whole idea is back on, even
though following backlash in February,
he kind of backed off that message.
[00:01:07]
So during a sit down with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today,
Donald Trump said this.
The IDF is fighting again
in the Gaza Strip.
I myself might be called up in a month.
Do you think that's the way
to pressure Hamas to get to a deal?
And do you think blocking humanitarian aid
is also an effective pressure?
[00:01:25]
Well, you know how I feel
about the Gaza Strip.
I think it's an incredible piece
of important real estate.
And I think it's something
that we would be involved in.
But, you know, having a peace force
like the United States there,
[00:01:40]
controlling and owning the Gaza Strip
would be a good thing.
So in other words,
we're going to send the men and women
of our armed forces to the Gaza Strip.
Boots on the ground
to serve as a peace force.
Because Donald Trump sees the Gaza Strip
as a very important piece of real estate.
[00:02:00]
It's like this whole thing
is so utterly disgusting.
Absolutely.
Not only is the ethnic cleansing
of Palestinians disgusting,
but the idea of us, you know, potentially
risking the lives of our soldiers.
[00:02:15]
Let's keep it real on behalf of Israel.
That's what this is really about.
You think Israel is going to be like,
yeah, this belongs to the United States,
which, by the way, I don't want it.
Even if that was that was true,
I wouldn't want it.
Yeah, but it's not about the United States
owning important real estate.
This is about doing favors for Israel,
in which, by the way, Donald Trump
[00:02:33]
has been doing an excellent job.
Excellent job looking out
for his homie Bibi Netanyahu.
Yeah, someone get a lot into that.
But first, a slightly lighter note.
Spider-Man Dragon writes in on Titcomb.
I guess Netanyahu will get his
own room in the white House.
I mean, he's there more than Melania.
It does certainly seem that way.
[00:02:49]
And Trump is certainly more polite
to Netanyahu than he is to Melania.
He he holds Netanyahu's seat in.
I'm not sure Melania
gets similar treatment.
So now why is he so cozy with him?
Look, obviously, we'll tell you
again He's gotten $337 million
[00:03:05]
from just the Adelson family.
Sheldon, who is now deceased, and Miriam,
his widow, are very pro right wing.
Israel maniacally pro-netanyahu.
And in fact,
Miriam is also an Israeli citizen.
So he's literally getting his orders
from an Israeli.
[00:03:21]
- She should go live in Israel then?
- Yeah.
She should.
Look like,
why aren't you living in Israel?
Israel is so important.
It's your number one priority.
Go live in Israel.
What are you doing on our land?
On our soil?
Advocating for a foreign country.
Go live over there.
And by the way, the Adelson's make most
of their money in China, in Macau, China,
[00:03:38]
where they have giant casinos.
So she could also live in China.
She could serve China or Israel.
But since she gave President Trump
$137 million in this last go around to add
to the 200 her husband gave him.
He does whatever they order him to do.
[00:03:55]
By the way, if you think I'm wrong
and that Trump is not affected
by $337 million, and that there's
a different reason why he's doing
whatever Netanyahu orders him to do.
Okay. No problem.
Right. But what is clear is the result.
So he said that that ridiculous thing
about how we were going
[00:04:13]
to go control Gaza.
We showed you some of the tape.
But he even said, we're going
to get rid of the unexploded bombs in Gaza
that Israel dropped, by the way,
also paid for us.
We paid to drop the bombs
or would pay to clean up the bombs.
But most importantly, we'd pay with our
lives because the precious IDF shouldn't
[00:04:31]
get hurt by those unexploded bombs.
American soldiers should die instead.
So that was his first proposal.
There's a ton of pushback from MAGA,
and he at least walked back the boots
on the ground in Gaza, or so it seemed.
- But then his daddy visited him.
- Exactly.
[00:04:47]
So Netanyahu came this time around
and apparently with a belt.
And so after he beat Trump
inside the Oval Office a little bit,
or did whatever he did to him, hey, we'll
give you more money or we'll threaten
to do X, Y, or Z, whatever he's got.
Magically, Trump comes back out and is
like, the US is going to control Gaza.
[00:05:06]
Now this is important.
First of all, owning the Gaza, you'd have
to be the biggest sucker in the world.
If you think that Netanyahu wants us
to get rid of all the Palestinians,
drive them out and then just keep it
instead of giving it back to Israel.
[00:05:21]
I can't believe anybody would be that
stupid and gullible as to believe that.
No, this is all done in favor of Israel
at the behest of Israel.
Israel will get that land 100%
in that scenario.
If you don't believe that,
you're an idiot, okay?
[00:05:37]
And have not followed politics
at all in our lifetimes.
Okay, now.
So why I got to jump in
before you finish that?
This is, by the way, what Trump is saying
after Israel killed another
American citizen in the West Bank.
A story we'll get to in a little bit.
[00:05:53]
Any words for the American
that was killed by Israelis?
Donald Trump? No, no.
The American doesn't matter.
Okay, let's move on.
Yeah, that's the third American in just
the last couple of months in the West
Bank, the IDF and the settlers are killing
the Palestinians in the West Bank.
[00:06:09]
That had nothing to do
with October 7th at a record pace.
They're also displacing them
at a record pace.
They're trying to right now annex Gaza
and portions of the West Bank.
And we're supposed to pay for all this,
and if it creates any more wars,
we pay for that.
We blame all the Muslims.
We blame the Palestinians.
[00:06:26]
We blame the Christians.
We blame everyone, but not Israel.
We do everything they want.
But then now the most important part
is the word control, right?
So forget own that there's a 0% chance
we're going to own it.
So why are they emphasizing control?
Because in order to to occupy Gaza, they
have to actually get the Palestinians out.
[00:06:45]
And so getting the Palestinians
over 2 million of them, getting them
out is literal genocide, literal ethnic
cleansing, and it is nearly impossible.
So he does.
Netanyahu doesn't want the IDF to do that.
That's a message.
They'll get blame for it,
and a lot of them will die.
And they don't want that.
[00:07:01]
So he wants America
to do his dirty work for him.
So he's like, come in here.
How many times
do I have to order you, Donald?
Okay, don't make me take out
the belt again like I did to Biden.
Don't make me strap it around you
and walk you around the goddamn park.
I told you, you will drive out
the Palestinians and control Gaza,
[00:07:22]
and then you'll hand it back to me, and
then I'll give you some real estate deal.
We'll put a Trump Tower on there,
and everybody's a winner.
Except all of American citizens
except Palestine,
the Palestinians and the whole world.
So I'd like one American leader
to prove that Israel doesn't control us.
[00:07:41]
- Go ahead.
- I want to go to one more video.
Again, this is Donald Trump sitting right
next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and talking about the future of
Gaza and the United States's role in it.
For years and years, all I hear
about is killing and Hamas and problems.
[00:07:58]
And if you take the people,
the Palestinians, and move them around
to different countries, and you have
plenty of countries that will do that and
you really have a freedom, a freedom zone.
You call it the freedom zone,
a free zone, a zone where people
aren't going to be killed every day.
[00:08:14]
That's a hell of a place.
It's a, you know what I call it,
a great location that nobody wants
to live in because they really don't.
And when they had good lives,
when they have good living,
real living where Hamas and all of
the problems they have, the level of death
[00:08:30]
on the Gaza Strip is just incredible.
And I've said it, I understand.
I don't understand
why Israel ever gave it up.
Israel owned it. It wasn't this man.
So I can say it.
He wouldn't have given it up.
I know him very well.
There's no way they took
oceanfront property
[00:08:47]
and they gave it to people for peace.
How did that work out? Not good.
Oh my God.
No, no. Israelis want to live there.
Israel.
You know, Israelis want to live there.
I love how he's like,
oh, nobody wants to live there.
No, no, Israelis want to live there.
The Israeli government is getting you, you
dumb ass, to do the dirty work for them.
[00:09:06]
Yeah.
You know who else wants to live there?
Palestinians.
The ones that were slaughtering right now.
They want to live there.
Israel killed another 50 people today.
Why?
Because it's a slaughterhouse.
And you know, this is the 18 month
anniversary of October 7th.
A year and a half later, they're still
pretending this is about October 7th.
[00:09:25]
It's ridiculous.
They murdered 50 people today,
pretending it was about something
that happened a year and a half ago,
that they knew 100% was going to happen.
They allowed it to happen.
Oh, do we have an excuse to slaughter
the Palestinians and take their land?
Oh, a year and a half later.
[00:09:41]
Oh, oh, are we going
to make America pay for all of it?
So here, give me another 20 billion.
Give me another 4 billion.
He calls it a freedom zone. Yeah.
The Palestinians are free to die.
They're free to get moved out there.
Then the land will be free
of the Palestinians.
[00:09:57]
And, oh, by the way,
we're free to get robbed by Israel.
Day in, day out, year in, year out.
That's right.
And then we'll be free of our money.
And then Israel will use our money
to slaughter more Palestinians
or make us slaughter more Palestinians
and have the whole world hate us,
and then have other Muslims attack us
because of what we've done
[00:10:13]
to the Palestinians and then go.
You see how the Muslims are such radicals?
They hate the West.
You have to murder all the Muslims
because they hate the West.
They don't hate the West, they hate Israel
because Israel keeps slaughtering Muslims
and Christians, by the way,
and taking their land.
[00:10:30]
That's not complicated to figure out.
And he takes a steaming pile of crap.
He dumps it on America's lap and goes,
let the American taxpayers deal with it
and send in your guys to die
instead of the beloved IDF.
Do my dirty work for me, dog.
And Donald Trump goes
and runs after his master.
[00:10:48]
During that press conference, when Trump
was asked about the voters who wanted him
to end the war in Gaza, not aid and abet
the war in Gaza or on Gaza, I should say.
Trump says the war will stop at
some point, but that that point won't be,
[00:11:03]
you know, in the.
That won't be in the too distant future.
Yeah. That is.
What does that mean? What does that mean?
You're going to do what Israel
wants you to do, like a good boy.
So, I mean, that's what he's done so far.
Congratulations.
[00:11:19]
You're a good boy for Benjamin Netanyahu
and the Israeli government.
Absolutely embarrassing.
It's embarrassing for the American people
that the leader of this country is aiding
and abetting a genocide in Gaza and acting
like a little bitch for Netanyahu.
I thought he would be,
I don't know, a little more, I thought he
[00:11:38]
would maybe care about appearing strong
more than Biden did, you know?
But no,
I guess he's willing to be a bitch.
And that's exactly what he is right now
in regard to this issue.
It's absolutely pathetic and embarrassing.
I think there's some chance
that at some point, Netanyahu will
[00:11:54]
literally pat him on the head.
Well, why wouldn't he like?
Because he's treating him
like just like he did with Biden.
Like, look at this little boy
that I bought.
It's pathetic.
Hey, walk around the park for me, okay.
Donny doggy, and by the way, Trump's
still talking about oceanfront property.
[00:12:10]
And, you know, he's so stupid.
Netanyahu I guarantee you, Netanyahu
was like, oh, it'll be Trump Towers.
It's a beautiful oceanfront property.
Remember Jared Kushner,
his son in law, was talking about it.
He's like, yeah,
a beautiful oceanfront property.
Why shouldn't we build there?
Remember, after you murder all
the Palestinians on our behalf and start
[00:12:26]
several different wars against America,
and you pay trillions of dollars
in that direction, let alone lives lost?
Don't worry.
We'll give you a Trump Tower or two
on the oceanfront.
And that's what this dog is chasing after.
So lastly, this is a perfect example
of a place where you have to separate out
[00:12:43]
the leaders from the voters.
Okay, so a lot of Trump voters
will agree with Trump, and you'll see them
all over social media going, yeah,
Palestinians don't belong there anyway.
And, and, you know, we're going to have
the Riviera and it's going to be awesome.
[00:12:59]
And Trump's a genius,
and he has all this figured out.
He's going to magically move out
all the Palestinians to nicer places
that they want to go in these countries.
None of that is true.
Okay, but there's also a huge section
of Trump voters
who are, like we said, America first.
[00:13:15]
We didn't say Israel first.
And I'm really tired of this crap.
I'm tired of paying for it.
Some of them have moral qualms about
what's happening to the Palestinians,
but mainly it gets under their skin
that this is obviously not America first.
[00:13:31]
Okay. And they have eyes and ears.
So when you told them Biden was young,
they didn't believe you when you told them
Biden was standing up to Israel.
They didn't believe you.
And now when Trump says,
I'm standing up for America first
and I'm standing up to Israel,
but like their dog, I will do anything.
[00:13:47]
They command me. They have eyes and ears.
So that portion of independence and MAGA
are not interested in this at all.
Instead of yelling at those guys,
let's make them our allies and unite
in favor of America and not Israel.
[00:14:02]
Damn right.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets its wings.
Totally not true, but it does
keep you updated on our live shows.
