00:00:00.000 You know, it was interesting because, you know, I'm watching the markets and, you know,
00:00:04.100 the markets going up and down and all the things happening. I'm thinking, are they not paying
00:00:07.980 attention? Because quite frankly, if they don't have access to any of this, where are they going
00:00:13.520 right now? In the United States, we have senators who don't know the difference between the Atlanta
00:00:23.160 Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes. President Xi is handing out pandas like candy and everything's
00:00:28.180 happening around the world to talk more about it thriller is always been joined by mike wickson
00:00:31.860 and paul micucci i like that setup he's handing out pandas like they're candy i think that's the
00:00:37.480 only thing they got that's it yeah yeah oh yeah well it's interesting because scott besant yeah
00:00:43.860 i told you guys said that's the tell you got to watch scott besant before she actually got to the
00:00:50.980 u.s and see how it went with the negotiators prior to the visit and he looked sheepish when he came
00:00:57.460 out of those meetings he came on and he was on fox and a bunch of other news channels and that's
00:01:02.580 not like him no no he's very you know he's usually a very uh he had a lot of bravado yeah he likes to
00:01:09.120 brag he's very trumpish that way yes you know he really tells it that's a good way to put it yeah
00:01:13.080 yeah he does but he came out and he's like listen they're not buying soybeans you know they're they're
00:01:19.100 they're not uh you know giving us chips they're not doing this they're not doing that and it's
00:01:24.100 like I was like oh and I did you know I didn't want to be right but I did call that one that
00:01:28.480 they were not going to have a good meeting and I think they had already set up the kind of the
00:01:32.700 interesting part of that whole visit was that they are the pomp and circumstance had already
00:01:38.020 been set up so everyone had already been cued to like you know touch the feet of the carpet
00:01:43.800 and crawl around on the floor to fly over with the flyovers and all that stuff yeah you know
00:01:49.520 and all that had already been queued up so that was in motion you know because they're waiting
00:01:54.420 to see if they get it and they you know then they had to just continue the meetings and i think the
00:01:58.180 meetings just wound to a um you know a sorryful sight at the end when they you notice the state
00:02:03.780 dinner afterwards it was musk and all the tech guys all sitting there with the first family in
00:02:13.080 of china and the united states it's so funny that you said that though because that this happens
00:02:18.380 that the negotiators come first and they literally stink up the room for the party and then the party
00:02:24.700 arrives is hilarious to me and then then the heads of state have to be they have to participate in
00:02:31.020 the party when they've just found out that they're in the middle of a fight right and in the end it
00:02:34.620 was already deferred so they already agreed so they had agreed to actually push off negotiations
00:02:40.300 until christmas so until after the midterms yeah um and so that's really what it got so that was
00:02:45.660 already predetermined post or pre-visit and quite frankly so the rest is pomp and circumstances so 0.88
00:02:52.860 much jim i know we're about to go into an anniversary party but missus has been cheating
00:02:58.380 let's go well okay to that end trump needed a victory he needed something to handle america
00:03:05.180 exactly iran the casualties the destruction of american military equipment the price of diesel
00:03:11.660 um the affordability is become a huge issue in america it's heading to the midterms he needed
00:03:18.840 something to give them anything he got nothing well and except for the pandas and the pandas but
00:03:24.440 on the on the heels of that summit all of a sudden iran is back at the table trying to negotiate a
00:03:30.260 settlement oh and they're asking for they want all their money unfrozen yes free reign of the
00:03:36.440 strait of hormuz allowed to do whatever they want but but you see the timing of it right
00:03:40.940 right on the hill so as soon as he gets on the plane iran shoots across it hey i'll give you a
00:03:45.580 seven day ceasefire if you do this this and this for him to say no in other words you know it's a
00:03:51.000 it's there's a bunch of messages being sent here that's what we're going through a very quick
00:03:55.380 favor before we continue a large percentage of you who watch or listen to tpl media every week
00:04:02.040 aren't subscribed yet our simple commitment to you is that if you find value there if these
00:04:07.920 discussions make you think if you want our uncensored debates deeper dives and extended
00:04:13.860 sit-downs head over to tplmedia.ca and subscribe there directly it takes just five seconds cost
00:04:21.120 nothing keeps you informed so thank you now back to the show so there was a call and answer on that
00:04:27.980 one uh actually even beforehand as you point out that they were that the u.s was looking for what
00:04:33.620 what is the tariff on u.s goods right now it's like which one which good no no sorry
00:04:38.220 china on china on u.s goods it's like isn't it 400 or something like that or
00:04:43.540 some outrageous tariff amount that they've applied on so many items oh yeah oh yeah how do you how do
00:04:50.160 you roll any of that back and then the u.s has the same thing there was no way that this was going to
00:04:56.060 be a negotiation they're way way far apart uh and then even afterward as you point out oh by the
00:05:02.460 the pandas they uh combed them down they had listening devices on them so i just it wasn't
00:05:06.860 really a gift well the interesting part is it's your you know and you follow the follow the
00:05:11.340 bouncing ball here um the ai uh geniuses at the table meeting with the president the chinese
00:05:17.980 president uh liaisoning with every all the politicians at the table they're going into
00:05:23.820 the meeting actually already not agreeing to rarest minerals so not agreeing to that which
00:05:31.740 they desperately need yeah well of course you know that that is the catalyst for all the semiconductors
00:05:37.100 and all the technology that's about to happen on that you know the the spearhead for all the ai
00:05:42.380 stuff and then you know we're hearing ai is dangerous and ai needs guard rails today when
00:05:48.140 i was actually getting ready for the show i was watching uh trump actually saying there are no
00:05:53.900 guard rails they're going to self-regulate but you know these conversations are kind of they're
00:05:59.100 so circular you know self-regulate what you don't have you don't have any you don't have the
00:06:03.740 technology to go build admitted two weeks ago their ai hacked into something and they didn't
00:06:13.660 know what was happening till after right so they're not going to regulate that well they're
00:06:17.660 going to shut part of it down now or you know so i get it that's dangerous it is dangerous and but
00:06:23.660 but you know all this is for naught because if that deal doesn't get signed and inked and that
00:06:29.020 resolution doesn't get resolved why would china give them access to any of the things that advance
00:06:34.460 them on the technological front once again to me kind of funny that all of the world leader or all
00:06:40.160 of these tech leaders are sitting there for the leader of china to say you want ai no here have
00:06:44.540 a panda you can't have a well that's why they did the deal with greenland because part of the deal
00:06:50.360 with greenland in denmark is to get access to rare earth minerals now to get them out of the ground
00:06:56.020 there is going to be a massive undertaking oh my goodness jim yeah they don't even have roads to
00:06:59.780 the fields to dig the holes to build the the get the rocks and the technology that listen that
00:07:06.020 technology is that what 10 years off i think it's five years off but i think that was a desperation
00:07:11.620 deal for trump realizing if we can't get it from china and all my ai bros and tech bros who are
00:07:18.420 trillionaires now need it where are we going to get it at least you can say to them don't
00:07:22.580 worry i've done a deal with green light right yeah that's not a short solution and no it's not like
00:07:26.980 that's not a i i get it then that that is a solution i agree with you but you know it was
00:07:31.940 interesting because you know i'm watching the markets and you know the market's going up and
00:07:36.580 down and all the things happening i'm thinking are they not paying attention because quite frankly
00:07:42.260 if if they don't have access to any of this where are they going right now and then
00:07:47.540 i'm not sure sometimes the markets follow i'm not sure they're sure no i'm not sure they fall
00:07:51.780 that's a great point yeah if we can't build the technology why are we investing in it now
00:07:56.980 well it's not just it's everyone's investing in canada america around the world everyone is and
00:08:02.740 the stock market is built on it right now but but think about it we just did a show earlier on
00:08:07.460 we're talking about china now they talked about china building real estate developments 10 years
00:08:13.060 they oh so much again countries do wild things you know u.s bigger countries right they built
00:08:20.660 real estate inventory 10 years in advance of their population so they basically busted the
00:08:25.620 real estate market which is 30 of their economy based on building out a decade in front of
00:08:30.180 themselves we do the opposite here we wait till all of a sudden we're overloaded we need it
00:08:36.020 we're behind the curve that was a good show i recommend people listen to that one
00:08:41.620 uh or watch that one because a lot got covered but to your point on that they even have the materials
00:08:46.820 the natural resources to create the materials that give them such advanced cements and plasters
00:08:53.360 and building beams and they've got all the steel they need so their infrastructure to go and do
00:08:58.420 that was there oh yeah well the carney was asked point blank yesterday will you use chinese steel
00:09:06.320 on the second natural gas pipeline to northern bc and he didn't answer no i noted it was his
00:09:13.360 typical uh clearing his throat and and his hands get really wide he starts talking and but i mean
00:09:20.020 the reporter asked him point blank so are you going to use canadian steel to build these pipelines
00:09:24.020 yeah but was that there was a no answer there was no condition like oh there was no oh no we'll
00:09:29.960 definitely use it he didn't say that yeah yeah i think it's hard to predict because uh see so
00:09:35.440 another one into the into the world of uh tariffs uh and alcohol dan akroyd is losing his mind this
00:09:42.340 morning yes uh all over the press and i kind of like where he's coming from uh he has a crystal
00:09:47.580 head vodka which is an award-winning pure vodka and it's and it's actually in a clear skull and
00:09:54.780 if you see it at your local liquor store it actually looks really cool so i don't drink
00:09:58.480 but i have one yeah because i just want it it looks great it's cool but people do like it uh
00:10:03.860 dan akroyd's been at this for a long time yeah he has a newfoundland-based company that
00:10:08.580 manufactures the alcohol uh they have i think tequila and a couple of other things but he's
00:10:13.460 citing that there is no possible means for him to continue operating his business under the current
00:10:19.580 tariffs and so effectively he will have to either continue to run a loss which doesn't make sense
00:10:25.580 or he'll have to start to let people go well even and dan akroyd has been on howard stern a lot of
00:10:32.560 american media pushing this product to the american market over the years without access
00:10:38.000 he's like where's my business model yeah it's it and i can see that he does represent you know the
00:10:44.440 the uh wine the alcohol the spirits business in canada is a very fairly small industry of people
00:10:52.140 yeah well i think well represented by this yeah the iceberg vodka guys were also on tv this morning
00:10:58.660 i saw them actually as i was getting ready same thing yeah how can they manage like you know i
00:11:03.560 unless you guys actually oh man what a mess this is turning about unless canadians step up and
00:11:10.040 increase their volume and like people are drinking less i know i couldn't come at the worst time i
00:11:15.960 was listening you know i'm driving to work today and you know i i was talking to mike and i drove
00:11:21.800 by a uh ice cream a famous ice cream store that is actually the the very famous uh dairy bar on
00:11:29.960 lakeshore yeah and they're building a massive uh cannabis shop right beside it really and i'm like
00:11:36.920 oh my goodness like it's changing like it's changing would i ever think that canadians
00:11:42.200 would put a massive weed shop beside one of the most historical ice cream shops
00:11:49.560 okay i want my dog three blocks away from a a daycare daycare i'd be like if i thought that
00:11:56.760 that would ever happen i would never think that would ever happen in there would have been a lot
00:12:00.380 of people voting but gentlemen i want my dog after dinner acceptable and 20 years ago it was most
00:12:05.360 common to see someone on their porch with a glass of wine or a beer oh yeah and almost eight or nine
00:12:10.900 out of ten they're having their after dinner pot it's it's it's like it's changed so much in this
00:12:16.660 country oh yeah 100 so yeah i don't think that we're gonna up our what a weird thing to say we
00:12:22.100 need to start drinking more to support crystal and guys no really do need you to drink for the
00:12:26.620 nation yeah well they're not they're not they're just not we've we've uh unfortunately we've kind
00:12:32.480 of uh we've moved them out of the market well except for the guelph homecoming apparently but
00:12:37.040 other than that yeah yeah that was they weren't drinking they weren't drinking it they were
00:12:40.940 throwing it for some reason for some reason i don't know about you guys but when i was a student
00:12:45.900 i couldn't afford to throw i would never throw a beer like i don't know what's going on what
00:12:50.260 happened parents of these kids you're either giving them too much money or you've given too
00:12:55.020 much because if if i got a beer it was going in my mouth there's no way was i launching it because 0.98
00:13:00.300 i didn't give a shit if i hit anyone in the head in fact i think if i saw you throwing a beer i'd 0.71
00:13:05.460 try to get it out of your hand and drink it because it just yeah uh but now here's uh dan 0.98
00:13:11.680 akroyd saying to uh trump and to carney look come to my cabin get away from the bureaucrats sit down
00:13:17.820 and work this out because it's hurting on both sides of the border uh and this is not a time
00:13:24.000 to be dickering over this as we head to the holidays this could be the end of many canadian
00:13:28.320 companies this could be in fact the end of many american companies that distribute uh and and have
00:13:34.460 a desire for this product yeah what do you think no i i think this is a trend to keep something you
00:13:40.540 both talked about off the air we need to watch these trends because there are certain uh beer
00:13:46.320 wine and spirit manufacturers who might be able to write it out but we might lose a lot because
00:13:51.320 when you go to your local liquor store whatever province in canada you see a there's like rows
00:13:57.400 of variety of rums and spirits and wines and coolers yeah we might see a lot less in the
00:14:02.840 near future if this keeps going oh yeah just because they won't be able to survive remember
00:14:06.880 the old days when you used to go to the liquor store and you'd go in that door and basically
00:14:10.780 you'd either be eight vodkas seven gins and you fill that little form fill that little form and
00:14:17.660 gave them the thing and then they came with a paper bag and just gave it to you yeah
00:14:21.060 yeah well i mean now it's 50 gins and 100 vodkas and thousands of wines well we think about all our
00:14:29.220 public monies we put into liquor stores just think about so years ago someone made the active
00:14:34.140 decisions to make liquor stores super sexy we took millions and tens of millions and hundreds
00:14:39.820 of millions of dollars we put them into capital we we renovated the stores we made cooking platforms
00:14:46.460 we did pairings we did like we really made that an industry like we said okay this is going to be a
00:14:52.680 big industry drinking well it diversified drinking it went for a while yeah and then all of a sudden
00:15:00.200 it dipped off and now as a the public trust most of them that are owned by the governments and
00:15:05.020 crown corps and everything else across the nation now are sitting on a depleting asset declining
00:15:09.800 asset with a high overhead uh unionized staff it's not looking good for that industry right
00:15:15.500 well alberta privatized you wonder if that will change in other provinces as a result it definitely
00:15:20.460 will there is no means to to manage it from you know if this is going to have to become the
00:15:26.220 responsibility of the warehouses of the distributors of the the people that uh manage stores and it
00:15:32.460 will privatize because there is no means to uphold this i'm yeah and ontario ontario went to gas
00:15:37.180 station so it's already kind of pseudo on the way of moving itself true right i go to my local no
00:15:43.340 frills i can get coolers or beer while i'm getting my food goods i mean it's so convenient i don't
00:15:48.860 have to go anywhere now you know back in my drinking days if you had told me that i could
00:15:52.620 go into the gas station then get into the vehicle i'm operating with the beer i just bought at the
00:15:58.620 gas station i would have laughed uh boy there's a lot of variety there and they've reduced the
00:16:03.900 number of soft drinks but you know it's interesting on this topic because you know and you know dan
00:16:10.300 ackroyd and i you know commend him for getting on the tv and pitching because you know as a business
00:16:15.100 owner it needs to be heard more and i'm glad he's doing it yeah but you know then you go to peter
00:16:19.580 navarro it was all over the news last night and you know the challenge is his request to get trump
00:16:25.660 to come down and meet at his cabin and everything the americans aren't uh in the mood to do that and
00:16:31.500 when you when when peter navarro goes on the news he's not doing that on his own you know i was with
00:16:37.020 a group of people last night and they were you know pointing to the fact that
00:16:40.440 you know he came out and he said only want to spend any time on Canada because
00:16:45.720 Canada economically is like a road we're we're we're an aircraft carry well how's
00:16:54.420 that going to end any Canadians here like please if you're on K Street get 0.59
00:16:58.820 the hell out of our country because the problem you have is you lobby this 0.82
00:17:03.540 country and you've been successful in the past and you think you can keep doing that memo to
00:17:08.980 candidate you cannot do that okay that game is up and if you interfere in our elections in maine
00:17:16.020 or michigan you will pay even more dearly uh you will pay even more dearly if it if you interfere
00:17:22.820 with the upcoming u.s midterm elections specifically our critical races in maine and michigan where
00:17:28.340 trade is central on the ballot issue didn't he say get the hell out of our business so we we in this
00:17:37.700 conversation sent down some lobbyists so you know and basically to lobby the opinion that we should
00:17:43.780 have goods you know the meeting he was in uh probably not the best planned out approach for
00:17:50.260 our group from a canadian group but it was what it was so and and he would you know he came back
00:17:55.380 but you know i'm sure that conversation was uh in some shape or form authorized planned or
00:18:03.060 even manipulated to send a message back on the heels of the fact that the tariffs kicked in
00:18:08.420 remember yeah remember the timing on this the tariffs kicked in on alcohol and motorcycles
00:18:13.860 that day like literally and almost like you know within the same news period and then next thing
00:18:20.420 you know he's having that conversation and he really did say hey okay okay but let me say this
00:18:24.900 about peter navarro you know felon did time yeah four months um those people on the border states
00:18:31.560 of maine and michigan whether there's lobbyists or not whether navarro says it or not they want
00:18:36.980 canadians to come back and spend money they are hurting yeah and and there are going to be some
00:18:41.760 major flips going on in the midterms in maine and michigan in those border states because of
00:18:47.600 the actions of the trump administration they're going to lose they're still losing business all
00:18:52.220 the time and they're desperate to get it back so maybe you leave peter navarro out of this and just
00:18:56.760 go and lobby in those states rather than saying hey we've sent our hedgements to two of your key
00:19:01.380 markets where voting is going to be a real concern for you maybe we just shut up and do that rather
00:19:07.380 than meeting with peter navarro and saying hey this is what we're thinking because the first
00:19:11.680 thing you know that that's what it was veiled threats that we're going to affect the midterm
00:19:16.520 markets that affect trump the most yeah remember vice president pence yeah yeah so he has a group
00:19:22.740 it's in the states it's the american freedom foundation um and they recently did a survey to
00:19:28.700 go through and they mapped out the u.s state's hardest hit by trump's tariffs let me guess most
00:19:34.560 of them are on the border yeah so most of them on the border um and you know he went through it and
00:19:39.360 he's laid them out and kind of said you know he did a really good map but we'll put it up on the
00:19:44.080 screens for those of you who can see it and you know uh katie miller actually helped him uh with
00:19:50.100 it did a really good job and she went in and she said she examined the share of each state's total
00:19:55.680 trade goods conducted with canada rather than the volume of trade with canada so and she broke it
00:20:01.720 all down she did a really great job and i was reading it this morning and to your point jim
00:20:06.040 it shows uh the cluster of states along the northern border and the plains with the six of
00:20:11.820 the nine highest states bordering canada being affected the most so and you know you look at it
00:20:18.140 and so now he's going to be going into this election the message that so as pence is doing
00:20:24.440 this navarro is being sent out to send the message to us to stay away from those midterms so did he
00:20:30.920 stay away from our election yeah i know no he leaned up against it i know but you know they're
00:20:35.800 not and does american lobby group stay out of canadian politics no but after the doug ford
00:20:40.820 Reagan ads you know they they're worried that we have the gumption to go again and so they're now
00:20:45.980 giving us the pre-warning to don't do it or else they're going to come so there are a lot of
00:20:50.840 Americans who agree with Carney and his stance and would like the American administration to back
00:20:56.220 off because they are losing a lot of business a lot of money that they don't know if they're ever
00:21:00.660 going to get back 100 but I do think that we we did like I say I did think I think that we sent
00:21:06.220 a message to the wrong guy uh who he's gonna what's he gonna say yeah stay out of his reaction 0.64
00:21:12.800 was ridiculous to start with he should have shut his mouth he could have coached in a different way
00:21:17.420 he has no ability to do that yeah uh but also that we would be so what's what i'm looking for 0.96
00:21:24.640 was he scared of us like that we think are we a threat yeah but we went down there almost with
00:21:30.780 a veiled threat you can tell by the way that he comes back and says you better not do this and
00:21:35.120 You better not do that.
00:21:36.180 It's like he's been told by us, that's what we're going to do.
00:21:40.880 I don't know.
00:21:41.360 It's very interesting, Mike.
00:21:42.460 I never even thought of it that way.
00:21:43.580 I believe that his reaction was to that lobbyist group going into those markets
00:21:48.040 and him catching wind of it and us even presenting that we're doing that.
00:21:51.720 But if you look at the way America lives, people in New Mexico, in Texas,
00:21:56.160 in Arizona, in California, in Alabama are not driving up to Maine
00:22:01.080 and North Dakota and Michigan to buy goods.
00:22:04.000 Canadians are.
00:22:05.120 yeah yeah that's true that's true that is very true so you know it's interesting so now on the
00:22:09.940 heels of you know we started the show talking about China going back home the Iran war going
00:22:14.920 on oil and gas actually uh it's back up again today towards 106 109 the other day it hit it's
00:22:21.620 hitting record it's going to record highs again um it was 60 a barrel by the way when 60 some of
00:22:27.100 barrel when the war started yeah oh yeah we were so yeah we were Alberta and they were they were
00:22:31.720 crying that they and rightly so that they weren't going to be able to make it if it stayed at 60
00:22:36.480 when we actually started the show yeah they were saying the province is imploding the economy of
00:22:43.000 the province the not anymore the real estate yes real estate was starting to really suffer for it
00:22:48.180 right and it's still a big issue you know the the balancing of the budget uh doing a show with uh
00:22:53.000 on the pbo uh public budget officer the federal government came out and said that we aren't going
00:22:58.680 well it's our new kind of our new budget process uh like the prime minister said operating budget
00:23:05.400 was it yeah the operating budget this year she believes we're going to do it in a year or two
00:23:09.640 later than what they project um but you know with the condition that came if it's kind of funny i
00:23:15.800 never thought i'd hear these words she did say that if oil prices continue to climb we might
00:23:21.640 able to do it as he planned on the back of the increased oil prices but that's that is uh i don't
00:23:30.120 want to scare people but that is tragedy for canada at that point it's tragic because we will
00:23:34.760 then be at 130 a barrel and quite frankly we'll be paying so much that our our logistics transportation
00:23:41.960 visions will be basically there will be nothing on the shelves what's funny because alberta
00:23:46.200 will have a major surplus but the people of alberta and out west will be paying what three
00:23:51.720 dollars a liter for diesel yeah unless we can even that out and and okay well if we're making so much
00:23:57.800 a barrel then it's time for the federal government to step in and say okay take some tax off or
00:24:02.760 something tax off of this right but then you're seeing it so it's a you know just did a municipal
00:24:07.320 government show and you know the only solution you're seeing in those run-ups to those elections
00:24:12.040 right now and the 6 000 nominees who are out there in the five provinces they're all just saying no
00:24:18.200 property tax no land transfer tax so they're all kind of getting up for the federal government at
00:24:24.760 some point to step in and download some cash onto the municipalities to give them a break to survive
00:24:30.680 but they're running are they gonna have money to do that though well the funny thing is they're
00:24:34.040 running them as election campaigns so they're almost saying you know when you listen to the
00:24:37.960 bigger markets and you listen to the the not the incumbents but the runners uh they're actually
00:24:43.400 putting these grand plans out and you know they're probably on the back of it if you had a condition
00:24:47.880 on the bottom would say uh upon the federal government giving us the last right yeah when
00:24:53.160 we say they have the money when we get our allowance yeah exactly we promise to so that's
00:24:58.360 what it looks like is happening but but you know and it's still in you know if you as you go forward
00:25:03.640 and you look at what's happening around the world that's not about to change
00:25:07.720 no probably not as we talked about so not in this calendar year no yeah well and i i doubt uh 27
00:25:15.000 you know we're probably looking at a few years for sure jim that we're going to be in this situation
00:25:20.440 uh of increased oil prices because as you pointed out in some previous shows it's not just the
00:25:26.520 problems in the strait of hormuz in the gulf of oman it's all the infrastructure in those oil
00:25:31.640 producing countries that got been severely damaged yes yes it's not going to be quick to rebuild it
00:25:38.200 no and therefore we're stuck in the western hemisphere having to deal with uh you know this
00:25:46.440 tenuous situation going back you know having discussions about don't get involved in our
00:25:51.000 election you know don't screw with us when quite frankly we're both surviving on the fact that we're
00:25:58.040 shipping oil to each other and then shipping it back so we're it it's a really odd situation
00:26:05.640 because we are co-dependent on each other we we are we can't deny it even if we reduce greatly
00:26:10.760 there's still going to be a codependency in place there is there always will be quite frankly and
00:26:15.720 so it's a very odd situation that you know we're having these conversations with you know we're
00:26:21.800 having u.s advisors telling us to back off we're having you know they're going to come you know
00:26:27.720 the president united states is saying we're gonna come begging him to take a deal we're gonna all
00:26:33.080 these conversations when we're not getting out of this relationship this relationship is cemented
00:26:38.680 we can't do anything with it the geopolitical politics of the world are making it so we if
00:26:45.480 china would have came and cut a deal with the us and that would have gone going forward iran was
00:26:50.520 imminent to end all these things were going to happen i'd say okay you know what it'll all smooth
00:26:55.560 that over a period of time we can move in a different direction that doesn't look like that
00:27:00.300 i'm trying to remember the last time sorry sorry just to pause please every one of those issues
00:27:05.940 you just pointed out we seem to be at the bottom of the cliff looking up and trying to find a way
00:27:11.780 to the top yeah and we're no closer to the top and on almost all of those points uh war the most
