00:00:00.000
so you think trump is like he just took a kick to the shin and he's like ow i'm going back get
00:00:05.200
greenland i agree i do i do yeah he's they're turning away from lockheed and boeing and all
00:00:11.920
these american companies and going to european and canadian and other nato countries because
00:00:16.800
they don't trust them and i you're bang on that's what he did all right guys so we were supposed to
00:00:25.920
talk about the supreme court today and we will get to it but coming into the show i'm walking in
00:00:30.640
i'm listening to the radio as i'm driving along um and i was shocked because i'm listening to all
00:00:36.080
the nato news and then after the nato news i hear that the iran war is back on so jim mike thanks
00:00:44.960
for sharing some time with me but you know what i was absolutely flabbergasted now i did predict
00:00:51.200
i did predict that it was a high probability that it would start again i must admit i i predicted it
00:00:58.480
two weeks from now did you long the stock because price of oil barrel of oil skyrocketing on
00:01:05.040
international markets oh lunch on all yeah but no your prediction i and i recall it clearly uh
00:01:12.480
truthfully paul i thought it was that you had predicted it for this week or next week
00:01:16.160
but when the uh sealed deal arrived your first comment was no this is not a possibility they're
00:01:22.800
still negotiating to do yeah there is nobody in the middle east that is on the side of trump
00:01:28.480
anymore it seems no uh and so yeah no you're i it's i am also shocked that it arrived so fast
00:01:35.120
and so so anyone who watched that funeral the other day i knew this was coming like i i don't
00:01:40.800
know if i i think it was monday i told you monday i said i watched that i sat and actually watched
00:01:45.840
it for about a half hour which there's been so many funerals lately they did the final kind of
00:01:50.960
a service for in iran for oh yeah khameini and you know what it was it was unbelievable to watch but
00:01:58.960
the number of people and the support in the countries that came but uh you know i i left
00:02:04.640
and i'm thinking oh this isn't going to go well this is not something that's gonna no you're
00:02:08.320
right it seemed like a uh a gathering of support but not just a familiar support but like it looked
00:02:15.440
like nations bonding truthfully oh yeah moment yeah oh yeah there was a little when you pointed
00:02:20.400
it out i went back and took a look and jim it's a frightening scenario where they're literally yeah
00:02:26.720
and here's here's the and here's the rub the whole thing as you let off with a paul
00:02:31.200
trump's disapproval rating disapproval in america is clocking in at 59 and so who are the people
00:02:39.200
standing shoulder to shoulder with donald trump they're not at nato they're not on the world stage
00:02:44.160
they're not in the middle east he's out there on an island yeah he is but you know the interest
00:02:49.980
well the the terrible thing is and i'm trying to figure out uh from his perspective given his
00:02:55.900
approval rating being so low is this something that actually again we're coming up to midterms
00:03:02.120
the approval ratings going low starting the war machine does it help him or hurt him at this point
00:03:07.680
hurts him it's summer vacation americans the only thing you look forward to a lot of americans get
00:03:13.400
two weeks in the summer they go camping they go on an rv so now all of a sudden the price of gas
00:03:20.120
and they do it in gallons in america goes up a dollar a gallon because of this you think they're
00:03:24.200
going to like that they can't afford to go to the campground with their family well you know it's
00:03:28.280
interesting so on on the you know like i mentioned uh before that i'm listening to his comments at
00:03:34.600
nato so and i'm like and that was before i read the news on what was happening in iran and here
00:03:40.520
we go again we're back on greenland so we're back on greenland and taking control and he basically
00:03:47.560
attacked you know the other 32 nations at nato and said listen you didn't support me in iran
00:03:52.680
you didn't support me and to take over greenland i still want greenland i'm in turkey to tell you
00:03:57.880
today you got to give me greenland so denmark move over we got to do a deal here because i i really
00:04:04.360
want this to happen and i was like wow this is this is crazy we're back on this conversation again
00:04:10.200
Does he read his own briefings from his own Pentagon?
00:04:24.620
NATO, listen, I'm not dealing with you anymore.
00:04:30.460
I think he does not care all that much about a NATO opinion
00:04:36.920
He feels that NATO is stealing from the U.S., that U.S. props up.
00:04:42.420
Now, he feels that NATO is an extension of the U.S.
00:04:47.740
And what I got from that was him saying, no matter what you think,
00:04:51.760
no matter what the deals are, we're the world force,
00:04:56.740
Think about what NATO's done the last three weeks.
00:04:59.120
En masse, all the NATO countries skipped over the Boeing wedge tail
00:05:03.520
made in america to the saab global eye which will be made in canada and sweden
00:05:09.020
canada norway and germany just signed a massive historic contract for 12 submarines built in
00:05:16.340
europe so you think trump is like he just took a kick to the shin and he's like ow i'm going back
00:05:21.740
get greenland exactly i do i do yeah he's they're turning away from lockheed and boeing and all
00:05:28.760
these american companies and going to european and canadian and other nato countries because
00:05:33.660
they don't trust them and i you're bang on that's what he did oh yeah well that announcement so the
00:05:38.380
great show you guys did please watch it um on submarines and and as soon as that show was going
00:05:43.620
off i'm thinking oh that's not going to go good at nato tomorrow like right away and i and i honestly
00:05:48.460
i was surprised we got through the evening yesterday evening i thought oh maybe i'm wrong
00:05:52.300
you know got up in the morning i'm like oh no you were right he was just busy yeah he was busy but
00:05:58.160
you know his advisor sure got him back on greenland again um and you know it didn't even look
00:06:04.120
jim you made some comments what i thought was interesting because it didn't look who's ever
00:06:09.640
briefing him and backing him and doing his strategy right now is moving him at such a rapid rate that
00:06:15.920
even he's having a hard time keeping up with it because he's making you know he's having he's
00:06:20.860
making mistakes on calling people the wrong names he's doing all and he always does that but it's
00:06:25.120
gotten worse it's gotten worse because i think they're moving at there's so many things happening
00:06:29.160
now you know he's going from the 250 celebration of the united states he's going you know ufc he's
00:06:35.620
going the celebration he's going to nato into the war room or you know and and and even in nato he
00:06:42.260
arrives in nato he's talking about greenland he's calling the iranians scums again and then all of
00:06:48.040
a sudden all of a sudden he's sitting there and he's saying to the ukraine i'm going to give you
00:06:52.260
my patriot defense system against russia now that is out of the out of nowhere out of nowhere and
00:07:00.200
it's like in a 24-hour loop and i'm thinking to myself oh my goodness like the amount of
00:07:04.640
you know you know i hope yeah i hope the amount of conversations that have to take place here
00:07:09.880
because each of these have huge strategic implications right now does putin and russia
00:07:14.680
view that is an america being too involved ukraine oh 100 it's gotta be now right his response was
00:07:21.740
it's it's a technical impossibility so let trump gap and that is often the response oh you know
00:07:27.660
yeah okay he says he can do this but the undertaking of a patriot system that that close to
00:07:34.420
russia becomes a real installation unless they put it at the polish border back from the that's
00:07:41.340
what they're saying they would do now okay they would do it however the range of the patriot
0.82
00:07:46.660
could easily knock out planes and drones headed for kiev from the polish border because they're
00:07:52.720
that sophisticated interesting yeah that is interesting if i was well if i was putin i
00:07:57.700
would just be i have to admit that one almost sounded like a dart thrown at the wall when i
00:08:02.540
there's no way zelinski or his handler saw that coming no they probably went oh great okay
00:08:07.080
well did you see he commended him on for doing such a fantastic job zelinski who he's not gotten
00:08:13.420
along with very well no all of a sudden he's backing him and he's in the game i don't know
00:08:19.080
what prompted all this and why it actually uh this why he decided to it at nato but you know
00:08:24.520
what started out to be a show that we originally started to put together for today which was really
00:08:30.060
on the floor what was that show about again no who knows the show was on a flurry of supreme court
00:08:35.900
decisions yeah that the u.s and not only the implication on the united states but the let's
00:08:42.620
call it the debris or the spinoff that hits canada you know and and we've talked about it time and
00:08:48.620
time again we don't have um as a country uh let's call it a very dominant supreme court and i'm not
00:08:56.260
knocking the supreme court but the the u.s supreme court plays in much they have many more uh petitions
00:09:02.180
for cases they're in the news every two three weeks they're in the news you know it and it's
00:09:06.680
almost like a pillar of the american way of life well it's interesting it's a complete opposite in
00:09:13.240
canada i asked christophe i said before the show i said to him please can you know i and it's funny
00:09:18.440
i mentioned i had lived in the u.s for for many years i know so whether it's roberts thomas
00:09:25.640
man clarence thomas famous in the u.s for all the getting through alito uh kavanaugh barrett
00:09:31.720
you know kagan jackson i know most of the names of the supreme court which is interesting and
00:09:38.520
then i i thought to myself and you know i know quite frankly this is because they're in the news
00:09:42.600
so much i know six of them and i know which six of them are republicans that have been put in place
00:09:48.200
by the republican party by the president because he has to nominate them yes and then they have to
00:09:52.760
go to a hearing they get beat up you know they yell at them now it's terrible what a terrible
