seven meeting in NATO meeting and in a minute summit with Latin America. Putin were recording on.
Thursday morning here. What have you thought so far?
There are some things that were totally expected, so you know
Biden goes into the g7 and he firms America's you deep commitment to NATO, which you know he's kind of striking
the tone of I'm not Trump, America's Back EAST
happiness. I think
there have been weird miss
Epps along the way it was leak from in the United Kingdom that Joe Biden,
kind of was hammering the United Kingdom about Northern Ireland and breaks it and, I think,
in a Boris, Johnson and others. It basically
are in the right that it's it's Brussels enforcement of this protocol, its stirring up a Hornets nest
There were, however, some moments
I think our challenge Selina biting his meat,
clear that we are standing up against both China and Russia, who are treated, as he said, drive a wedge between the Atlantic alliance. That's true! It's just very tough because it's very clear that Germany wants to use
and, to a lesser degree, China, as a way of establishing a little bit of independence from the United States and a little bit more freedom of action.
I tend to think I understand that motivation. I tend to think it's going to derange european politics in in strange ways, and
Biden has also said that I am in a
is a worthy adversary which, having is gonna, be one of the big take a ways:
Enron, Colored, a worthy adversary, killer, worthy adversary, and you know
I'm not sure that plays out my my feet.
Those I mean bygone also said that we are going to give Ukraine what it needs to be physically secure, and then you
had these leaks from ukrainian side, saying like we were
to join NATO or or get on the road map to join NATO and then present Lansky of Ukraine, saying like we need clarity from the United States about joining NATO. Ah, I personally think that's insane idea.
Think in its provocative. I'd always say that Russia has a sphere of influence, but like this is really in their backyard. There are a lot of russian speakers in eastern Ukraine.
And dumb. We are basically like North Macedonia. This is a country that is
I got very ambiguous history with Russia and is all liabilities and no upside as far as an alliance partner.
And so I am against
I also think it's it's a challenge for the United States going forward to be tough on Russia and China. At the same time mean Russia, obviously benefits from conflict between the United States and China, because it opens up these opportunities in the world order for them to revise their place in it, but it's very easy be tough on Russia, which I somewhat agree with Barack Obama. It's uh, it's very proud country and culture
But it is a kind of gas station, but he knew attached to Siberia, whereas China is for now a very formidable world power.
And one in in whom we are incredibly invested and interlinked and from which our elites profit and down
like it in one way, it's very easy for China to seduce us, because
all the money that american elites we're gonna make in Russia they maiden about ninety. Ninety six Amerika
stopping there's a lot of money to be minted in China and
So anyway, I was a little worried. I feel, like american foreign policy needs creativity and widen, isn't providing that. I feels like a return to steal formula of the Obama administration that opened some up to to challenge from Accra.
Republican. So I would say that there's a lot of that Obama Redux some you're going to see it on on a run, obviously and another places, but I do think the the
Sign China and on clinical competition with with China is, is
I'll come in and new, and it
it took a lot of wrangling and
was immediately add, is that France and
many say all: we really want to cooperate with China on climate change and much of other stuff, but he did get some. You know statement out of the g7 that mention China's abuses against the weders. You know is also focus,
NATO summit. So I wrote a calm today, just how to there's a deep incoherence at the heart of guidance, China Policy,
because he's getting these statements from these international organisations and then he says everything all the spending we're gonna do up basically off
strained ours have domestically is aimed
China and pushing back against China, and then the defence budget is essentially flat and inflation terms. It is really a cut which doesn't make any sense at all. What you think try this, maybe in part, because foreign policy is not my strong soon, but I would struggle to answer the question. What is Joe Biden, Foreign policy- and I would still after having seen this chip player
struggle to answer that question in broad strikes. We all know what Ronald Reagan foreign policy was. We know why George W Bush is foreign policy was we know what Donald Chumps Foreign Policy was Anti China wanted. Restrictions on trade
and to reverse the around here and wanted NATO countries the pony up more for their defence. I'm just not quite sure quite what job
hopes to achieve, and I think it is more difficult to chew what he wants
to achieve, because so much of the coverage is focused on how he's not Donald Trump parties less bombastic, unless, of course, he's talking on foreign soil about the Republican Party, at which point he suddenly becomes him
the fifth, so I think the Jew
raise our. As you say this and incoherence here. He
He has done some things on China I like, but at the same time I wouldn't call him a warrior around the question and he does seem to be worried about the perception of xenophobia. He doesn't seem to want to project american power, at least not through the military,
I just I don't quite know who are by this, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Maybe we're not in an era in which we need strong foreign policy convictions. Maybe this is why Joe Biden was elected justice to keep hold of the teller, but I am not yet sure what he
he wants to do with his position, and his position is primarily a foreign policy on, despite the inflated rolled executive now plays in domestic politics. So Michael that tendency to be the anti trapper, an anonymous
obviously very strong morning, Joe, was playing this up this morning.
I heard the head a couple clips of Trump Hadji G7 summit
They are NATO summit, sank in our needs to pony up. You have you know all these country,
is that are falling short of their obligations and then
contrast it with Biden say just how one for NATO,
obviously that the reason that their highlighting this opposition to say how one
Ojo behind is, but I think you know the air
voter they
hear those those two contrasting messages and they probably be a lot of the more attracted to Trump's message and even if Trump, with a bowl of Chinese trying to stop and self destructive in many respects. Some of that tough love is, is pro
And if a really worried about Russia and China you what these countries did the pony up on their domestic defence commitments in a way they they're not yet I'm in particular, I mean particularly Germany, ITALY, Germany could field a much more modest
sophisticated army. I mean I mean, I'm scared, I don't scare Charlie. We ve tried this a couple of times jolly. Would you you you wanna passed by Germany just just forever.
Not in the way the Franklin Roosevelt seem to want to pacify Germany now, but I am not as a person british origin thrilled
the idea of Germany being both an economic and military power ass. Now I got that one gives me for warm fuzzy feelings. You haven't, I mean you know you're, your former homeland is ruled by a german family.
I don't see the
Listen. I.
The NATO alliance is a sort of

Oh, you know. In the nineties there was this vulgar volcano
and stamp out.
Revisionism within Europe like Slobodan Milosevic, sure something like that, which I thought that need that mission was of the disease.
Faster than there was Libya, which I thought was also a disaster, particularly for Europe quite directly, and I think,
The temptation is going to beat it to try to creed

Institutions and to use it to bully people that Bully nations that they don't let the right guy

newly around the table, and one of them is is that leader, South Africa and in soonest choices
I'm introducing the these three
buy Miele Pipes up Penn and the leader of South Africa, and you can see Boris kind of thinking about it and I should have called us out and then it finds that yeah you know I just I just said that, but the first obvious point is that these things do get covered differently. If Donald Trump had

you, have a lot of time for politicians in stressful sit.
Patients travelling all the time making mistakes. You won't find many pieces by me calling
out mocking marking politicians for gas, it happens. I think we're forty sensitive about it. I would just wish that people would give the same leeway to all politicians, which, of course, they don't
Joe Biden is slower than he was ten years ago. Forget the Libya, Syria.
The introduction of that was the sort of thing for what
Ronald Reagan used to be criticised and was subject to insinuations about his agent mental acuity. There was an incident I believe at a meeting of mayors, were he introduced himself too.
nobody by saying Mr Mann nice to meet you and it turned out. The guy was actually in the Reagan cabinet and the press have a field day without one. That's in every.
Book on Reagan is in every article on her eagerness in every obituary of Reagan and Biden did something similar
so maybe it wasn't unfair when it was applied to Reagan, but if it wasn't unfair, it's not unfair when applied to widen to the bill, Buckley method to to avoid, in eighties, these kind of next ups. What when he got got a little older, adjust
hey Buddy, suffer whether he knew you're. Not if you didn't know you felt special if if he did no use
thoughts, but also in a covered everything I
a great to see you instead of great to meet you, because that way you get away with it, but
That was a video that went around of Biden, pausing for a long time. When asked about Vladimir Putin Biden had said he was a killer,
and the implication with a video was that Biden had.
Zone doubt all that his sprain had stopped working for twenty seconds while he paused I'd. You didn't say it like that. My
It was it he was trying to work out what to do because he was, he can't say, yeah sure the guy's a killer a couple of days ahead of its meeting in that setting.
but also he doesn't want to say you're what I just said that when I was the intranet criticized Trump, but I didn't really mean it and also its true Putin is a killer.
But look he's just not especially shut
and he's never been especially eloquence and he's operating in a realm.
that is not his forty
one is ever said. You know that the real brains behind America's foreign policy apparatus, Joe Biden, I forget, who it was who said he got every single major question wrong throughout ok, his life,
gates here. So now I had, I don't see that was my head in my hands, but these are particularly surprising me hee, hee hee.
seems to me like an old man who is slow
than he was an
is also aware that he doesn't really have to be especially shop because the press is going to cover for him and he is
early on in his term and therefore subject to a lot of
well and he is off the posse that most foreign leaders prefer and then don't really talk about anything crucial at the moment in the way that they would have been inside two thousand and two or one thousand nine hundred and eighty one or nineteen
forty three escort new envy. You expect binding on foreign policy to be a transformational leader, a transitional figure, a status quo, caretaker, an unmitigated disaster.
It's somewhere between caretaker in disaster- I just
He'll be a caretaker if, if events don't interrupt right, where I think.
I think they are too credulous about Germany's intentions,
I really worry about both.
With Korea and Taiwan as potential flare up stood, this administration is not ready to head off before they happen or deal with once they do tat guy.
the status quo. Caretakers start something I lie awake at night and worry about. Although I do take Michael's point, this was always the big question with Trump. What if we have a crisis, and then we did, I can't imagine Joe Biden being ass passionately effective in a crisis, but I hope I am wrong, sir I'm and stay with an emphasis on China transitional figure, because I think he really represents a democratic already absorbing the shift on on China. That was made by brute force and a Publican party by Donald Trump Butts events may lurches and uneducated disaster

the Charlie. We got some more woke action. We have an ed attacking Tom.
For being non racist and being non racist isn't enough, he needs to be called on, quote antiracist. What to make of it.
I think it's a neat illustration of why critical race theory and what ever makes candy calls anti racism pernicious
And ultimately built a top lies more broad
My objection to critical re theory is obvious, I believe, very strongly in the declaration of independence. I think it was meant sincerely and I think it has served at an extraordinary purpose.
Within the United States. I am firmly on the side of Frederick Douglass and aims
I'm Lincoln and Martin Luther King and not on the side of those who, frankly sound like near confederates, albeit they would.
Chief at that by arguing that the declaration is a major,
during generality. What really matters is: is power, structures.
but in this case it shows
that no one can win because
This ideology is set up as a totalitarian.
Wrap from which there is no escape the claim that is made by critical race theorists, especially at the moment, given its controversy
And by anti racist is that they just want the teaching of american racism
in a way that doesn't gloss over the long standing and long term consequences of slavery, segregation and so on
And Tom Hanks seem so
taken them at face value, and so Tom Hanks took to the New York Times and wrote a piece about the Tulsa race Massacre of nineteen twenty one
He said somewhat self critically, look, I'm a lay his story and I'm really interest
state in american History- and I didn't know, this had happened and first off, we should
do better teaching the sort of things it never came up in my schooling, Hank said.
But also this might be because history is geared toward an written by white people. But you can agree with that. You could disagree with that. You can say, as some people dead
exactly laundering his own ignorance into an indictment of american education in general. But you cannot doubt the man
sincerity, I think he's done enough in his life to demonstrate that and he,
was in his mind. I think responding.
To precisely the arguments that are made by the left about the need to grapple with american history and for his troubles, he was denounce.
In an MP peace by Guy called Eric deadlines in language that was taken straight from April candy, but
I'm Hanks might well be a non racist in deck and says he likes Tom Hanks. He thinks he's admirable in some ways, but that has not yet made the jump to anti racist because he is not try to dismantle systems of privilege, of which he has been both a beneficiary and a poster.
I'm really. This is exactly why people are sceptical, because when you look through deck and specific objections, there's just no way Tom Hanks could ask.
them may give Tom Hanks had never said anything while, then he is tacitly endorsing the existing status quo on under it
candies rubric.
That is.
endorsing racism, essentially whether tacitly or not, if he can
that is actually I don't like ie from condemning, agree with you. Well, then, that's that's even worse if he speaks up its
good enough and even if he follows all of the pieces of advice, if Eric Dragons gives him, you just can't win the deck and says Well Tom,
Thanks has made a career, a lot of money out of playing white heroes, white men, doing the right thing and that has contributed to our sense, white manner, heroic and the centre of our national attention. Ok, but firstly, Tom Hanks caught not play white characters. That would be it so
thing. If you tried that second, the people that Tom Hanks his plate, they are actually heroes. This isn't some social construct, the men who storm the beaches- andy-
They were heroes. The men of APOLLO thirteen were heroes. The captain of the Mask Alabama, captain,
that wasn't here. So if your Tom Hanks, you could, I suppose, ignore that or you could lie about it or you could denounce yourself and those people, but we told that that's not what anti racism is about
and then, if Tom Hanks does what dragons wants him to, which is to focus on other stories stories that affect non white characters. It won't be too long.
Before we hear that Tom Hanks is taking writing jobs, producing jobs, acting jobs, directing jobs that could have gone to minority,
don't be too long before we told that Tom Hanks has
white Savior complex all that he has as diminished
the voice of color, which is a critical race theory concept. So I just I read this and I thought you know this is exactly why people hate this stuff, because it just is very, very big difference as a crucial difference between saying look at all of the fish
is that Tom Hanks has played and promoted. They are wonderful people, Jim Level, that the soldiers it D day they are wonderful people. What we need to do ass well is elevate, others, Harriet,
Urban, Frederick, Douglass people, I've never heard of it, maybe should know more about, but that's not what he wants him to do here,
seem to re evaluate his career in this,
tear himself down and apologise for having elevated these people, and I think that goes back to the route here, which is. Do you have a country
in which you establish a set of values and ideals, and
snow heroes and then expect everybody to live up to them and hope that all groups are included or do you have a country in which we are fighting constantly over the same piece of the pie, trying to tear the existing structures down and I'm for the former I suspect Tom Hanks is too and I suspect, is red. The pace he sat and thought
So my God, we also have a controversy going on about the the new in the heights. Absurd Lynn, Manual, Miranda, production,
and apparently the afro latino characters are actors are are literally on the right. You there's, a journalist, asked the director this guy John Shoe, who also interactive crazy irritations. What would you say to focuses they that enough?
its privileges, white, passing in a white skinned, latin ex people, and she replied. I want this is so twenty twenty one
say: that's a fair conversation have listen, we're not gonna get everything right in a movie, we tried our best on all fronts of it.
I mean it's, it's sad,
it's funny. In the past two days,
I've seen to news stories of north korean defectors,
saying that western media and western universities remind them of North Korea.
And this kind of self criticism that people are trying to.
Put lend me Miranda through.
It is reminiscent of self criticism set sessions in North Korea or in China during the Cultural Revolution in Miranda's work is I mean it's not really for me
I didn't love Hamilton. The way others did but he's
extraordinarily talent, and he has the he has the clout to tell
stories about ethnic
Ladys in America that other people do not have, and this is a form of hen packing. That is
destructive and it's weird Lee over Rep
then it now in the arts and entertainment field right where there are. I think
Juilliard had a big blow up recently about.
How would you know a color
I'm casting was evil, which is really interesting.
Right like there is a trend for years to come.
going casting, which is sure we can have a black
There's play anyone in hamlet or any one in a Tom starboard play, regardless of their the
he's real or implied in the text and
he's, not breaking up saying no. This
is racist because your forcing actors
hide their color or
skies it in
in the rates of it, of another character, written by whites for white, sir, you know something along the lines. I know it's it's a kind of I mean it's a moral panic and
I feel sad, Lin Manuel Miranda is kind of giving into it. You know it's it's some point. You know you need a critical mass of artists and creators to just say my work stands for
ELF stance stands up on its own two feet and I'm not going to respond to hen pecking criticism about minor casting choices.
this is the story I wanted to tell maybe there's plenty about
stories that other people should tell.
And I just think this trend is- is really sad and baleful, because it makes the production of this material that much harder to fund. If
Disney or other studios want to produce these stories, but they're gonna get done shy if they think that
slightly getting it wrong. An end moors could
means within six months before the production begins, they're gonna get slant and the core audience doesn't want to see it anymore.
yeah. One of the amazing aspects in very disturbing aspects of this phenomenon is there going after totally innocent people, the best intentions, people and getting them to kowtow and apologize for most recent example of this was Ellie Camper. I don't think we discussed or suffer a believer mentioned Carl Smith Corner Post on her, as as my editors peck, but
She's parlor debutante ball back and ninety. Ninety nine would choose a teenager in, and people
on Twitter and Social Meteor, swears smearing or as a k, K, K Queen
because this organization that holds the ball
anyway, I had some you now
the associations a hundred years ago, whatever that she didn't
about and cheap, basically appalling.
Eyes, and it reminds me of this quote from Lenin.
I asked calmly and categorically, which is better to imprison several scores or hundreds of instigators guilty or innocent, deliberate or unwitting or loose thou
The red army, men and workers- the first is better. I don't care whether I'm accused of committing every mortal sin imaginable
violating liberties. I plead guilty, but the interests of the workers will be furthered. So Charlie.
the question to you. Sometime soon there will be some mainstream figure like
when Manual Miranda, Tom Hanks or Ellie Camper, who will be targeted?
In this fashion, and will stand up and say no hell, no, I'm not backing down yes or no
Yes and I'm we should. We should slicks. I guess, exclude Tom Hanks from this, because that they may not have even seen this right right, whereas the others were actually asked for common and and
acquiesced, but yeah yeah and undistorted simply about the already seen that with J K Rolling, that's her. So
Besides, J K Rolling and be do sometimes,
stay. A mainstream figure stand up and say hell. No, I don't I don't know any was was Jean
chronic mainstream figure she out now I mean do they have to have support from their existing.
studios him, I she might qualify. You know it's different from some vigour. It's more like. I think the question is: why is more? Will they stand up and say no but retain the presumption that they are
a good, decent, liberal right, whereas a set of being say now and survive. Yes.
Firstly, because it there's some people would say: no were autonomy, indifferent, like Vince VON Ray Gibson, but there
they're just considered untouchable on the right, so
You know I don't know, but it has to come soon, because I do like tracer that no one can survive. This level of scrutiny
because the standards change almost year to year
and dumb in most of the actions that are being criticised,
again were never done with malicious intent, so anxious political trying,
except Charlie, at an Michael's on amendments to my ex question, but without was on- and I still say no, no, I think everyone's gonna be it our here are ones can be too afraid even test it to see if they can maintain their respective always standing up to this kind of idiocy with that was very briefly Charlie. Get too.
Miss Connell, who is driving Democrats crazy once again by saying he will not confer a perspective, Joe Biden Supreme Court, now many and twenty twenty four. Would you make them? I know people get really really upset
Ms Mckenna for this, but it is worth saying once again that his position on this is consistent. Some people's position on this is not being consistent, for example in Zagreb, but much more animals. Have I read in response to Mcconnell comments, journalising Sir he's gonna flap once and then flip again he's flipped on nothing. His view was that the Senate does not have an obligation in an election year to agree,
to a judicial nominee sent by a president of the opposite party, and so in twenty. Sixteen, when the Senate was in republican hands
The White House was in democratic hands, Mcconnell said now, and then in twenty twenty, when the Senate within republican hands and the White House was in republican hands, Mcconnell said yes and the hypothetical he was asked about by Hugh here in twenty twenty four would have the Senate in republican hands in the White House in democratic. Have this really quite straightforward? The Senate gets to decide whether or not it allows through judicial,
nominees and it gets to decide to whether it holds a hearing, the one can like a common standard or dislike it want to think he plays Hardball. One could think he saw forever, but it it's.
But he's changing his mind every few moments and for what it's worth
it's not even especially convincing to be taught that
he's violating norms is. I think Damocles often pointed out he's not
it's unusual for the Senate to confirm a judicial nominee sent by president of the opposite party in an election year. Emily.
Here I mean it's, it's a freak out. I mean it's also a lot of displaced energy and anxiety, just over briars refusal to retire now. Wall Democrats.
Your theoretically could get him in- get her a more progressive replacement in now and an utter fear that MRS
This chance Mcconnell Mcconnell Smart, but these the
The hand it's been dealt- and this is where the

What had been the norms into the nineteen eighties.
Ex question you Charlie, Stephen Briar, will retire while Joe Biden during Joe Biden First term, yes or no no empty.
No I'm also, I don't really know, but I'm also going to say no but boy fire progressive
I beat so right now? I want to do it yesterday, but doesn't seem like it's gonna happen,
Let's hit few other things before we go and what you been up do so, unless left like, I sellers going up to about Europe
ready for my brother in law,
and I went to it over the weekend and I just upstate me or
It's so

You know we often talk about how burned out the rest belt is well a huge part of the rest but extends into upstate New York and in ice couldn't help it imagine. Driving through these big, beautiful, rolling hills of of what New York state could be.
If we had better political leadership that fit the economy of the upstate cut in a wild night and on Saturday with the kids, what bad, knobs and Broomsticks Disney Classic, which had never seen

Maybe there is part of the film where the british Isles are invaded, asserts scouting Party by Nazis and repelled by this somewhat eccentric cost of characters. So my kids were absolutely transfixed. Sign of people sometimes take tips for a man, the edges, broadcast to what kids should watch spats, bed, knobs and broomsticks from nineteen. Seventy once a good one.
So I like bugs- or at least I go out of my way, not to kill bugs unless they're active pest. You mosquitoes and Alexa got this from my dad to my earliest memories as a kid and if he been down on the sidewalk and help the worm get get across safely to the
to the grass and you chase flies around the house with a cup to capture them in release them rather than then swatting them. So I tried to do the same thing
and where I am here and in the northeast in the spring and get this state bugs which are now looking up and Wikipedia. It is technically

now then looking, apparently that they have wiped out apple crops and and the like, but since there were or would have you orchards here
and you know I'd- I sometimes think he's gone but then also
may be back in a show up behind the toothpaste or something and there's a design flaw in the bugs. You looked like turtles. If, if they get upside down, they can't write themselves. Is that ever have

You can just write them by take little piece of paper to a paper, something and I'll grab it and and get themselves right side up somewhere, distinct big by was almost like a pat and the best kind of PET Africa's required no effort on my part, even in a less than it than a cat.
