A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as they outline the backstory to the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza.
During a segment (prompted below) Witkoff and Kushner are outlining the step-by-step process as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt. Witkoff reveals how the CIA was briefing them both, multiple times a day, and the briefing itself was exactly the opposite of what Emir of Qatar and Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. The CIA intelligence was the exact opposite of reality. WATCH:
.
What they are describing is EXACTLY why we outlined how ‘outside govt’ emissaries were/are vitally necessary to work around the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This small example is stunning in magnitude when considered around the importance of the moment.
On a positive note, with Witkoff making this stunning public statement, we can now add a major datapoint to President Trump’s reference of NOT TRUSTING the CIA. Combined with the previous assertions of Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard on essentially the same level of outlook, this example of the CIA getting it wrong (misleading the administration) has long-range ramifications beyond the Hamas example.
With this backdrop for reference, surely now we can have an optimistic sense that President Trump doesn’t trust the CIA intelligence on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Good interview but Lesley Stahl is an ugly person with zero credibility and she’s tough to watch.
Great job by Steve and Jared.
Crikey, I remember her covering WATERGATE. She’s gotta be 90 years old.
She’s 83….
Lesley Stahl interviewing the President:
“Mr Trump,
You’ve cured cancer and brought peace to the entire world… but how do you feel about all the cancer researchers and medical professionals that have lost their livelihoods due to your actions?”
“And what about all the Non-Governmental Organizations that have strived mightily for decades to work towards lasting solutions to conflict and aggression around the globe… your policies have now put those organizations’ very futures in doubt… what do you have to say to that?”
Ms Stahl would be doing ‘gotcha’ questions to Moses:
“Your actions in leading an exodus from Egypt have left innumerable Egyptian households in disarray – forced to fend for themselves… and seriously impacted the country’s economy… how do you answer these charges??”
Ms Stahl’s questions to Jesus:
“Mr Christ, your aggressive actions in throwing the moneychangers out of the temple are called by some illegal and disruptive actions, and could be considered criminal. And the damages to the tables and other items have not been compensated… and those conducting their business there have been severely affected.
What do you say to those who consider you nothing more than a rabble rouser and charlatan, sowing discord throughout this Roman province?”
Ha ! That’s awesome !!!!
The good thing about the Stahl interview is leftists will watch her.
Wasn’t she the one who asked the question to the starved US-Israeli hostage if maybe he was being starved to near death because Gaza had NO FOOD??! (Rather than a chubby jihadist stuffing his face in his presence)… she had a whole week to vet that question
Maybe they weren’t misleading. It appears Hamas has no intention of following the Peace Agreement.
IMO, this is a given with Hamas.
Based on experience, why would anyone trust Hamas about anything?
Has Hamas ever kept its promise(s) to anyone outside of Hamas?
I can’t think of one instance.
This is why Hamas should never be trusted. If Hamas tells you the Sun is shinning…best check for yourself.
Ditto CIA.
Also basic ROP protocol that relies heavily on telling you what you want to hear.
When a tenet of your religion allows you to lie for your benefit, it permeates every other aspect of your culture. Muslims lie to each other, and to others as a matter of course.
Ditto MSM
Doesn’t matter who…..
Cui Bono?
The truth always seems to be in the middle.
Warning ⚠️ adult language.
Israel Flipped Out And Killed 45 Palestinians After Running Over Their Own Bomb
The author o the linked article, Caitlin Johnstone, is not a reliable source.
Figures.
I’d be pretty sure Hamas didn’t even read the Peace Agreement.
They are illiterate except they can read “Mohammad” and “Allah”
Yep, non of this is going to work. We rebuild Gaza for the people thinking they will never go back to hating Jews, Christians, or anyone who doesn’t recognize their evil god. Nope, won’t work been here already
About the same odds
Maybe that is the plan. Get live hostages back and remove that as a factor for Netanyahu. Let Hamas be Hamas, knowing they will not follow the plan. Hamas gets the blame for breaching the peace plan. Israel goes back to finish the job.
Am ashamed to admit that I never thought this plan had a snow ball’s chance in he!! of succeeding, because I felt that Hamas was incapable of abiding by the strictures it imposed.
I’ve also felt from the beginning that when it inevitably failed, Israel woud be left with carte blanche to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth. Bu when faced with the actual choice, they may elect a different solution.
Precisely. Now Gaza can be cleaned out
How far did they go through with the lopsided prisoner exchange? Isreal would need all theirs back first. And now tens of thousands of military age men poured back into Gaza as soon as the cease fire was announced. This may take a while.
The topic of the lies was not Hamas and their intentions. The CIA was lying about the positions of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar.
The mediators Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar were tell Steve and Jarrod that Hamas was in basic agreement with a few mosifications. CIA was telling Steve and Jarrod Hamas was a no on the agreement.
Note the statement that in the east you never listen to the media, not a direct quote. A statement that applies to the west as well.
Who exactly benefitted from the CIA fraud? Does Hamas have a table in the kitchen of the restaurant, or does some other entity benefit, one which might have heavy “influence” in the CIA, and is so often playing an active role in undermining the interests of America alone?
All terrorist collectively have a table in the restaurant
Not according to Sundance, who says only Israel has a table in the kitchen, which may in fact be an understatement.
I would say the CIA and the Intelligence Community, along with the Fourth Branch.
Discrediting Trump and his administration’s peace efforts would be high priority for those groups.
Who exactly benefitted from the CIA fraud?
The top global 1% who profit from exploited labor and artificially suppressed wages by nefarious means—the class that inflates the value of their assets by systematically undermining the economic power of the global workforce, effectively transferring the wealth of the many into the hands of the globalist, crony capitalism (not free market capitalism) elite.
So, dual citizens that reside in Tel Aviv and Jew York
Hi Clay More, I’m just your average American, born and raised in Maryland, married to one of those “hummus eaters “, so I guess that makes me a “Jewlander”, with what I believe you mean a dual citizen aka Israel first person.
I love my country USA, I voted Trump 3xs, MAGA all the way and I love Israel, the people, country, hummus, and I think Bibi is the perfect (as perfect as Trump) to lead his country at this time.
I have dual citizenship, but I’m not a one issue person and I’m sure I’m not the only Jew either.
I must admit that 1. I am so happy to be a Treeper, since 2016, and I used to love reading the forum because I learned a lot from all of the people here, much smarter than me on most issues, but for almost a year now, I can say that I’m surprised at not only your comments but quite a lot of others as well. It is a real eye opener truthfully, and this is not a compliment.
1. I believe that the Shabak, which is like the Fbeye is to blame for October 7. Mossad deals with terror and other issues outside of Israel. The Shabak is covered in rabid leftists and it’s mission is to destroy Bibi and the Likud. Those poor woman (18-19years) for days told told their supervisors who by the way, the higher ups in the IDF are also mostly leftists that something was going on on the border. There was literally no response. They wanted something to happen, in order to bring the government down. Whether they knew the extent, I don’t know.
2. Most of the pilots are leftists and they all signed a letter not to serve Bibi’s government. They could have been in the air and stopped a lot of this.
This information was not passed on to Bibi and here we are.
3. It is easy for many of you to have an opinion, most is unrealistic because you have not walked a mile in any Israeli shoes. You live in the US, 50 states, not one tiny Jewish country surrounded by billions of Muslims/Arabs that would not only kill you in a second, but torture you, race you, cut body parts including your head, burn you alive, smash your babies bodies with rocks, kill your pets, blow your busses up, keep you in tunnels deep in the ground for over 2 years while torturing and starving you.
You have no idea, you wake up everyday and you do not worry about those things. My husband at one point had his father and 2 brothers fighting together in a war.
What more do Jews and Israelis need to show you that they must do what they need to do to survive. Zionism is not a dirty word. It means that you, as a Jew, have the right to their country, to self determination, a life worth peace, happiness, practice their religion, and to have what we in the US have been fighting for since 1776.
I vote like my life depends on it and it really does to make this a beautiful MAGA country and when I lived in Israel, I did the same in order to keep the crazy, rapidly insane leftists out of power.
Just an FYI, Iran was extremely close to a nuclear weapon thanks to China and Russia supplying them with the ballistic missile parts that you add the nuclear power on and they would use it in a heartbeat.
Whether it was 2 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months it makes no difference and if any of you cannot understand that, well….just sit for a minute with yourself and ask, what if it was the US in this position, would it really matter? It was too close for comfort for any country who cares about its existence.
Just remember, first they came for the Saturday people and then they came for the Sunday people. That’s you all. Just look around the world.
If you think, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt are trustworthy when it comes to helping in Gaza, I can only say Oye Vey!!
This Jackson Browne, previously on occasion midnight toker , hummus eater loves both countries and resents your comments and insinuation.
Yes. Rogue CIA is a Muslim Brotherhood Ally also.
Only when it benefits them.
But who runs those entities? What you say is a tautology, so to speak.
Aborting peace efforts and framing Hamas would be the goal. Cui bono?
What makes you think the fraud is with the CIA?
If Trump admin officials wanted to impugn an agency for some reason, the CIA is the perfect choice: They can neither confirm nor deny any allegations.
Why would Trump admin officials want to do this? Could it be that the goal is to continue sabotaging Americans’ trust in everything?
When a nation no longer trusts anything conveyed by media, becoming habituated to the stream of outrageous “news”, it creates the conditions for government to do heinous things and get away with it.
Like engineering a virus released by CCP, grossly overstating the hazard, then forcing gravely harmful unnecessary genetic manipulation shots on its own people en masse, backed by propaganda (lies), censorship, and suppression of safe effective mitigations like ivermectin.
Come to think of it, the CIA and Trump admin officials apparently have the same goals here, so who knows where the lies originate.
That was the goal of Obama.
To.abuse our systems until we scream get rid of them.and are left vulnerable
I could hear the CIA laugh out loud when you said you knew what the CIA’s goals were.
Look up “naive”.
Read it again scruffy.
I didn’t say I knew what the CIA’s goals were.
I said the CIA and Trump admin officials apparently have the same goals here.
That is, according to appearances.
Look up “functionally illiterate”.
SO! You know the goals of the See eye hay……I doubt that, but then you reveal your real attitude by stating that…..as you do not know their goal……except to gain and increase their power.
The CIA is self-preserving so it is going to position its actions on the best way to be a winner when the world issues are resolved.
CIA is loyal only to its own existence.
The CIA is loyal to whoever controls the CIA, and that is the secret being kept. Who controls the CIA, and who do they really works for?
The seed of the serpent controls the See Aiee AAAAAA.
The trillion dollar question….Regardless, they have to go. easier sand than done…
North Tonawanda
Cui Bono?
I agree!
I learned my lesson after the WMD propaganda.
And the Iran has nukes in two weeks, one month,
six months, two years, one year…🤷♀️that line has
been going on since Nuttyahoo started it in the 80s.
You would think people would be getting
a clue by now.
🥴 😵💫
Too much to ask…🤷♀️there are still people on Facebook 😳
Watch cable and MSM news.🙄
It has already been established that CIA and FBI are imbedded
and control the propaganda.
That is why the Looney Tunes Liberal Democrat Trotskyites
want to silence truth tellers like Tucker and Candace.🤷♀️
Arms manufacturers in general benefitted.
I said it from the beginning that HAMAS would never agree to a peace agreement. So, is it now that we completely destroy them?
Yes, but does the United States have the interest and the will to do it?
So far, the answer is a resounding NO!
Yes, Israel should be working right along with the United States.
I am not holding my breath.
Flatten everything. And it’s no longer an issue.
The ME uses Palestinians and do not want them
Look at Egypt, border country, won’t even let them in Sinai
A final solution, you say?
Haven’t we heard that term during some prior time?
Jeez….
Just like the Looney Liberal Democrat Trotskyites….
Just a let those invaders who came across our 🇺🇸
southern borders stay…heck bring in more 🤢
No matter that they are a strain on our resources
and infrastructure….🙄🙄just invite more in🙄
🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ As an 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 American, I can understand what
and why….other countries do not want any mass
immigration .
Devils in the details which I don’t have, because it’s all classified.
One true thing they said concerning intelligence, personal relationship and trust.
Eventually it come down to making an operational decision with imperfect information. Orient, act, decide. Who do I trust? Sometimes you might be wrong which is not as bad as doing nothing.
Doing Nothing is occasionally the best option.
That’s a theory I’ve been using most of my 90+ years…🤣🤣🤣
Wow… all the AntiTrumpers sure came out on this thread.
Huh? This Administration will continue to walk into band saws if they keep pussyfooting around with the Deepthroat State “Intelligence” Apparatus as currently organized. It’s our duty to call this nonsense out.
White Pills are pure hopium
DJT is doing an impossible job better than anyone could expect, but the failure to (as yet) prosecute the Deep State criminals is probably a factor in giving them an incentive to continue their evil.
No one knows “how much rope is needed for them to hang themselves”, not even DJT, although he has a better understanding than anyone else in the country.
Except Tulsi, it appears.
And if they don’t walk into the buzzsaws then what happens? My goodness some of you people. This didn’t start overnight and will not be ended by the time President Trump leaves. We need, at least, another 8 years.
First off, what do you mean “you people”?? Secondly, if the Deepthroat State ain’t smashed in total, it can and will come back to bite worse than ever before.
What’s your escape plan when the Death Cult Uniparty is back in control?
Jinxy!
Agree…. The Democrat Trotskyites always say
MAGA is a cult. Nope.
Not agreeing or different outlooks and opinions prove that.👏👏
That is how they installed a geriatric dementia patient in the WH.
He’ s sharp as a tack! 🤣🤣🤣
I refuse to be a Bonhoeffer example……no matter who is in WH!
The Bush dynasty taught me well..🤢
5 minutes….animation
Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity – YouTube
There are zero anti-Trump posters in this thread, which raises questions about your intent.
So at what point is Ratcliffe now the same as Bondi?
Both alive and not dead.
We are asking people to die for us .it’s a little strange in a world where people can survive just fine siding with the killer
Leslie Stahl’s reaction to Mr. Witkoff’s statement that the CIA was lying to him was quite interesting.
She laughed. And then she moved on with no follow up.
A lot can be inferred from her reaction.
Like Cuck Schemer’s ‘6 ways from Sunday’. It assumes a Tyranny of Spies is normal and good.
Yep.
The dog that didn’t bark…
I watched the whole interview, and it’s good. i don’t know how these 2 pros kept their cool during her accusative questions about their business ethics, and her other questions seeking to reveal their strategies. When they would politely rebut her stupid remarks, she wouldn’t even acknowledge her lost point, she’d just move onto the next insulting question.
They should read Charlie’s letter to Bibi.
This is Dinosaur Media for the Geritol Gen.
So what have you got against the Generation that brought this country through WWII and subsequent economic domination that you benefit from.
FDR was POTUS when I was born….and I would say that the majority of you generation is not doing much to keep America going strong.
All the issues raised in these comments have been around the World since Adam walked out of the Garden, and they will not go away until His return.
Standard procedure for Lib-idiots—–acknowledge nothing detrimental to them.
If Trump cannot trust the intelligence from CIA, can he hedge that to go after the rogue elements within the agency? It appears the Director Ratcliff needs to get his house in order.
We have no idea how far, wide, and deep the rot is in the CIA.
The CIA has been in existence since the late 1940s (if memory serves).
The CIA has had over 70 years to devise methods to circumvent almost anything.
They have people in and out of government who work to do whatever the CIA thinks needs to be done.
The CIA has been extremely successful, but never forget the organization works more for itself than it does the American people.
🎯
Since 1947.
An easy comment by someone most likely not involved.
“If Trump cannot trust the intelligence from CIA…”
If so, then the CIA is worse than useless. This is career-ending performance for these so-called intelligence professionals and their support staff. No more benefit-of-the-doubt. Destroy it to the molecular level and salt the fields. Establish a new counter-intel agency with clear mission, boundaries and accountability.
Very interesting.
The President’s emissaries hear one thing… but are told another by the IC –
This just goes to show that DJT is correct in trusting his trusted advisors, over the so-called ‘professionals’ who have spent 60+ years on the Muddle East… and all the ‘professionals’ have done is muddle through.
And actually not even that – they’ve squandered the possibility of having developed a cold peace decades ago… so that relations between the Islamic states and Israel might have come closer to a diffident yet cordial situation… rather than the flat-out rage exhibited by the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
While ‘diplomats’ fiddled… the Middle East burned.
What would help (not completely solve, as there’s hundreds of years of hate in the region) is for Israel’s government to pardon Bibi and Bibi resign. I think the man is too arrogant to do it. Shame.
The Arab countries could easily rebuild this area and resettle these people. The Arab countries could, and should, destroy Hamas.
To be quite honest, the Arab nations do not think Israel or the Palestinians should be where they are.
The Arabs are happy to see two of their enemies fighting it out.
Hamas is a proxy for the much feared Iranians so getting them out of their hair is good also.
Trump should have an incinerator in the White House with a label “CIA Intelligence” where he burns the documents to keep staff warm.
Didn’t the specific CIA people involved commit treason by intentionally giving them the wrong intelligence?
Not enough hot ruse cleaning in the CIA yet. Someone is not with the program yet.
Good grief auto correct – Not enough house cleaning …
Since you are so knowledgeable, why do you not just send them a ‘strongly worded letter’ !
Of course the CIA agents are lying to the President, it’s what they do!
It’s their stock in trade when instigating color revolutions and infiltrating organizations worldwide.
Hopefully Trump will use that revelation to squeeze Ratcliffe HARD, and discipline everyone involved in those 3x/day briefings.
At this point everyone in the CIA needs to be fired and it either dies or is reconstituted with patriots, but everyone in place today has to go. Same with everyone at 60 minutes
Why doesn’t Trump fire all of the leadership in the CIA and start over with people loyal to the USA? He can do that, can’t he? I don’t understand why we keep people in government that are hostile to America and want to destroy us if there is a way to get rid of them. Doesn’t “insurrectionists” fit their description AND actions, and isn’t that reason enough when they are constantly going against policy and making up things like the “Russian Collusion” to destroy their political enemies (Trump in particular) on the right? Why are the democrats constantly getting away with this and the republicans remain silent and DO NOTHING??? Someone please explain if you can….
After the knowledge of their complicity in the JFK assassination at a bare minimum. HOW CAN ANYONE TRUST THE CIA??? The CIA is a criminal organization that was probably still good after WW2 but shortly thereafter went to the dark side and has never come back.
60 Minutes? I wish the Trump administration would stop propping up these failing and discredited news networks. They should be shunning people like Lesley Stahl and giving interviews to One America news, Rightside Broadcasting, or conservative podcasters.
The target audience are people who still listen to news sources like 60 Minutes
Hamas, was bombed into submission, Gaza was bombed into oblivion.
The terrorist network that was Gaza for decades, was bombed into oblivion.
The western world, being led largely by the UN, the EU and Britain, were showing signs of alliance with HAMAS/PFLP.
Innocent Israeli families wanted, whatever live family members, that remained after 2yrs, returned.
What was the only choice left for islamic terrorism, a Cease-Fire knowingly based on fraud.
What was the only choice left for Israel, a Cease-Fire knowingly based on fraud.
I doubt there’s an intelligence expert, or a military expert on either side of this debacle. Who genuinely thought that after 3,000 years, PEACE would somehow prevail over Israel, and islam. . .
Now, what? Israel has recovered IMO, as much of the living hostages as they’re ever going to see.
Hamas/PLFP has been able to somewhat rest/refit/rearm.
PDJT has laid-out the parameters of the Peace accord, as agreed upon by all the major parties.
So, now when the inevitable, breach of the peace does occur, everyone involved can say, We’ve Tried.
Now, back to our original broadcast! War breaks out in the Middle East.
ratcliffe needs to b pulled into an open senate hearing on this… given that this unamerican agency still has approx 21,575 employees, time to clean house
So the cia was committing insurrection? But I suppose it’s too much to ask that someone be held accountable.
They should avoid the hostile anti-American CIA controlled media. There are a bazallion other podcasts to do an interview and it will get more views.
I have some problems with this. Although I realize that the CIA are untrustworthy I would also not put much change faith in what these Muslims leaders are telling them. For people like Witkof and Kushner it must be like swimming with crocodiles.
Seeing the sadness and emotion on Steve Witkoff’s face as he spoke of his son’s death before handing the conversation to Jared (27:00), I’m reminded that God ultimately uses tragedy towards the good.
Leslie Stahl always looking for the “gotcha moment”. What a you know what. I never seen Jared K in action. I can see why he is in these high level negotiations. Very diplomatic and did not allow LS to slither.
It’s shocking to think the President would drop the ball on Ratcliffe, he had him as DNI as 45, he has a resume/history in congress and as a US attorney, I mean for the love of God after Pompeo/Haspel screwed him at CIA I would think 4 years to strategize would be sufficient not to drop the ball again. Am I missing something???
My God gives me good reason to believe in miracles. I’ve experienced many times over how faith in such power as His can truly and astonishingly change the course of human character and behavior.
The so-called facts of life, when left to mankind’s abilities to set things right often fail, but when God decides and rewards those who have faith in Him, one of true faith comes to realize that with God all things are possible.
Our words and thoughts, for good or ill, carry consequences that change things one way or the other.
The Holy Bible refers to it as the power of the tongue. I would suggest we set ourselves more steadfastly to learning it’s nature and the power it carries as we move forward through the trials and snares of life.
