Steve Witkoff

They find things out about the deals with the Qataris and the Bitcoin stuff and the funds and foreign influence and how much money...

the Witkoff kid and the Lutkin kid and the Trump kid got from wherever.

And they lay it out dispassionately.

And they have Trump and the administration dead to rights on emoluments and the misuse of executive branch power to enrich people in the administration.

According to Axios, he warned privately for months that the war was deeply unpopular and has criticized Netanyahu's approach to Iran.

Apparently, White House envoy Steve Witkoff also favors trying to make a deal.

Well, yeah, that is, after all, what an envoy is supposed to do.

But diplomacy brings its own problems.

This war is existential to the Israelis.

So unless we restrain the Israelis, as we failed to do in the lead up to the 12-day war, the 12-day war kicked off because Steve Witkoff, the president's chief Middle East advisor, was on the cusp of getting a deal with the Iranians.

That's why the Israelis sprinted to get into the war.

The president was trying to get us back to the negotiating table.

this is just briefly.

Steve Witkoff, friend of the show, released a statement on Monday announcing that the next round of talks, which has been in the cards since December, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed to sort of low-level technical three-way talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine a couple of weeks ago.

The talks will take place on November 10th and 11th in Abu Dhabi.

you know, still a lot of time left to spoil that with a, you know, ill time.

U.S. President Donald Trump says a deal to end the war in Ukraine could be in prospect after talks at the White House with Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev.

Meanwhile, the U.S. delegation, led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, says it held productive and substantive talks in Brussels with representatives of NATO, Ukraine and the EU.

Next week, working groups from Russia, Ukraine and the US will meet in Abu Dhabi.

The last talks in this format took place in Geneva in February.

You know, still a lot of time left to spoil that with a, you know, There was a major Russian airstrike in Ukraine just this week, Zaporizhzhia, Oblast, that killed, I think at this point, 42 people, and they're still digging bodies out of the rubble on an aid distribution facility.

And both sides feel that they have invested so much in either keeping or conquering this territory that they cannot compromise on the subject.

The Trump administration, to do its credit, Witkoff and Kushner have come up with a whole range of attempted compromises involving demilitarized zones and free economic zones for the region, but both sides have rejected this.

So we are

stuck.

Right.

And who, along with Steve Witkoff, who is like fucking friend of the president or some stupid shit, they are the ones negotiating for.

for the ceasefire in iran and the ceasefire with ukraine
