During the conversation, A-Shabel attacks Hezbollah, which boasts about its capabilities but does nothing. "Hezbollah boasts about its (military) capabilities, but now we don't hear a word from it.".
Assad is heard cursing residents of the Damascus countryside's al-Ghouta area, saying: "Abu al-Ghouta is dead." He also laughs at the soldiers who shake his hand and is recorded saying: "I feel not only shame but disgust. Is this our country? And people say 'Syria, Syria.'".
In other recordings, Assad continues to laugh at the Syrians: "They don't have money for food, but they spend money on mosques." He compared them to the pharaohs who built the pyramids for worship.

Translation of some of Assad's new videos mocking Syrians and his soldiers with his media advisor
Advisor Luna al-Shabel was killed a year and a half ago when the vehicle she was traveling in to work at a palace in Damascus collided with an anonymous armored car with a sharp iron plate on the front. The car hit the back seat where the advisor was sitting.
She suffered a serious blow, lost consciousness and was rushed to a local clinic for medical treatment, and an hour later was transferred to Al-Shami Hospital in Damascus. Three days after the accident, she was pronounced dead.
