1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: They call it at once in a generation crisis summit 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Star is going to be their macron call that Schultz 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: is ropable over the JD Vance comments. The JD Vance comments, 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: by the way, that has put Europe into meltdown. We're 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: a very good example of what is good but also 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: what is bad about the Trump regime. His suggested that 7 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: Europe should really be worried, not about Russia or the Chinese, 8 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: but the pressure from within is actually quite a good point. 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: All he was saying, for all those freaking out about 10 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: the move throughout Europe to the so called far right, 11 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: ask yourself, why what is it you're not hearing, or 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: seeing or accepting that is leading to these outcomes electorally, 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: So far, so good. Then he went and gave Romania 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: as an example, a presidential race that is fairly widely 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: accepted as being a jack app backed by the Russians. 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: So start with a good point, mess it up with 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: a shanky follow up, not dissimilar to his boss, who 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: quite rightly pointed out that what was going on in 19 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: Gaza for years hasn't and isn't working, but then talks 20 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: about the Riviera and something akin to an Upper East 21 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: Side condo opportunity anyway, Upshots the same, Ukraine can be 22 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: at the peace talk table. Ultimately, Europe can't que meltdown. 23 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: This is where the laziness and complacency of Europe intersects 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: with the financial mind of America. When you've funded the war, 25 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: a war that's going nowhere, you call the shots Europe 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: has watched four three years now, a conflict funded to 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: a fraction of the extent the Americans did. That means 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: you give up a form of legitimacy. When you were 29 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: browbeaten by the Americans into actually forking out for NATO 30 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: two that you said you would but didn't, you've lost credibility. 31 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: So when a big mad ego maniac arrives in the 32 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: White House, guess what You're going to be called out, 33 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: shut out, and forced to finally wake up to your complacency. 34 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: It'll all work out fine, of course, this is what 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: Trump does, pictures the absurd and back pedals. But tell 36 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: that to the Macrons and starmezan Co. They are wetting 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: their pants.
