00:00:00.000 Today we're going to solve the riddle why Trump is not winning the Nobel Peace Prize,
00:00:03.540 or maybe he will, who knows, because when you think about all these people that have won,
00:00:06.780 you know four presidents have won the Nobel Peace Prize? The great Jimmy Carter, legendary,
00:00:12.620 not sure what he won it for. He won it many years after he was president, by the way,
00:00:16.100 that felt bad for him, nice guy. Bad president, but nice guy. Obama won after nine months of
00:00:21.260 being president. People still don't have a clue how he won. Nobel Peace Prize for what?
00:00:25.980 ISIS got stronger. It was chaotic all over the world, but he won. Then you have Teddy
00:00:30.580 Roosevelt, and then you have Woodrow Wilson that won. Five presidents that have been nominated.
00:00:36.020 I'll give you the list, but how come Trump's not on that list? And what's the big deal about this
00:00:40.160 Alfred Nobel guy? Isn't this the guy that invented dynamite? Isn't this the same guy that back in the
00:00:45.620 days, a French journalist wrote an article in the paper because the day Alfred Nobel's brother died,
00:00:52.720 Ludwig. They thought he died, so they said the merchant of death has officially died.
00:00:57.940 And he reads this article saying, wait a minute, that's how they remember me? I'm known as a
00:01:02.680 merchant of death for inventing dynamite. So many people died because of this man here. He decided
00:01:07.240 to change his life, change his ways, committed himself to charity. By the time he died, I think
00:01:11.820 in 1900, 1901, Nobel Prize started a few years later, and from then they started giving recognition
00:01:17.200 for five categories. We're going to talk about all that stuff here today.
00:01:30.040 If you value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. Let's get right
00:01:33.360 into it. Five categories. Ready? Physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace is
00:01:40.320 the one they're looking at with Trump. Now, it's been said, if you want to not win the Nobel Peace
00:01:45.540 Prize, be a Republican, because it's left-leaning. A lot of people that win, they're typically on the
00:01:50.260 left, even though some may say Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican. Three out of four presidents
00:01:54.380 that were nominated who won were all on the left, and two of them didn't really do much. They just
00:01:59.320 kind of gave it to him, Carter and Obama, for winning it, and some may even argue with Woodrow
00:02:03.700 Wilson. Now, here's a few things, the controversy they have with Nobel Peace Prize. Political bias,
00:02:08.600 number one, premature awards, what happened with Obama, expansive definition of peace,
00:02:13.820 what does it really mean? And when we look at the list of other people that have won over the
00:02:17.980 years, you see Wilson, you see George C. Marshall, Martin Luther King in 64, Henry Kissinger, Mother
00:02:24.420 Teresa, Mikhail Gorbachev when he brought down the wall, Nelson Mandela, Al Gore, and a few others.
00:02:32.360 Of the presidents that were nominated in the States, FDR, Hoover, Nixon was nominated for Nobel Peace
00:02:40.240 Prize. Reagan nominated, and Donald Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, the
00:02:46.740 interesting thing is the president's been nominated at least seven times that we know about. One was in
00:02:50.900 2018 by Norwegian MP Christian Tybrink-Jedi for his role in the thaw with North Korea. 2020 nominated
00:02:59.780 again by Tybrink-Jedi for brokering the Abraham Accords between Israel and the UAE. 2021, he was nominated
00:03:06.900 by a group of Australian parliamentarians, citing his caution in military matters. Recently, he was
00:03:12.860 nominated by Bibi Netanyahu, highlighting the Abraham Accords and other peace efforts. Then the
00:03:18.300 Cambodian Prime Minister, Han Manet, for brokering a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand. Then U.S.
00:03:24.080 Representative Buddy Carter for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, though a Ukrainian lawmaker
00:03:29.160 withdrew his nomination on the same day. Pakistan for the de-escalation in the Pakistan-India conflict.
00:03:35.360 This sparked significant backlash and protests in Pakistan. And last but not least, Israeli-born 1.00
00:03:41.320 professor Anat Alon Bek nominating him for 2025, citing his diplomacy and hostage release efforts.
00:03:48.220 And of course, you got to add the Armenia-Azerbaijan when you saw them shaking hands and then the
00:03:51.860 signing. You would have never seen Ilya Aliyev and Pashinyan getting there talking to each other,
00:03:56.600 but he brokered that deal. It's a beautiful scene. At the White House, sitting there signing,
00:03:59.720 it was great. So the question is, why hasn't he won yet? He was president for four years
00:04:05.420 and then he was out and he came in for six months and he's been doing a lot of stuff.
00:04:10.020 Is it because the peace hasn't been long enough? Well, you know, the Iran-Israel still going on. 0.94
00:04:15.860 It's not fully peace. You know, definitely not peace right now. Ukraine-Russia is still an issue.
00:04:20.300 You know, of course, some of the other things, but maybe when he does get the deal that he's doing
00:04:24.420 on Alaska, whether Zelensky will show up or not, who knows? But let's just say they make some
00:04:28.220 progress there. If I were a betting man, I think he's going to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:04:34.780 And if Davey does, oh my God, I can't wait to see the rage on people's faces on Twitter,
00:04:39.920 on X, on YouTube, on CNN, on MSNBC, on the faces of everybody that's furious. And the reason why
00:04:45.960 I think he's going to win it is the following reason. By the way, Polymarket has him at plus
00:04:50.300 450. Some is plus, you know, 13 to 2, plus 650, plus 500. You bet $100, you win $500. I think
00:04:57.520 he's going to win a Nobel Peace Prize because he's not going to slow down. Sometimes in life,
00:05:01.880 the great thing about competition, to take the argument away from your opponent and your
00:05:07.000 enemy is to have so many different successes on top of each other that you don't have a choice
00:05:15.820 but to do something about it. You know, a lot of these nominations, they don't disclose who it
00:05:20.440 is for 50 years. So let's just say you nominated somebody for the Nobel Peace Prize. We won't know
00:05:25.480 that you nominated him for 50 years. They'll reveal it 50 years later, unless if you make it public.
00:05:30.000 The people that do it publicly will find out about it. But I think this man is on track for winning
00:05:34.360 the Nobel Peace Prize. Some people say the following, which is kind of a weird one to hear, but a lot of
00:05:39.320 people believe this case as well. They say if you win a Nobel Peace Prize, you're kind of part of the
00:05:43.900 establishment. And they don't give the Nobel Peace Prize to anti-establishment candidates. So
00:05:48.720 if he doesn't win, it's actually a compliment at the highest level. If he does win, maybe he kind
00:05:54.460 of joined the club. Who knows? Or he just piles so much success that those guys are just biting
00:06:00.660 their nails saying, holy shit, if we don't give it to this guy, what else can we do right now?
00:06:03.960 We gave it to Obama after nine months. He didn't do anything. I think they're going to be forced to
00:06:07.760 do something. Who knows? What do you think? You think he's going to get it or not? I'd love to hear from
00:06:12.040 you. You can manek me directly. I actually sincerely would want to know whether you think
00:06:16.900 he's going to win the Nobel Peace Prize or not. This is my manek channel. Download the app. It's
00:06:21.040 the only place where I respond to 100% of all questions people send my way. If you enjoyed this
00:06:26.420 video, I got two other videos for you to watch. One of them is we did a full-on video on who Henry
00:06:29.740 Kissinger was. Very interesting. And the other one is the Pakistan-India war. If you never saw that video,
00:06:35.440 very, very interesting. Either way, if you got value, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel.
00:06:40.000 Take care, everybody. Bye-bye, bye-bye.
