They were liberal, We love democrat. They want a bunch book.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The European Union. You know what operates out of Brussels.
They operate like a bunch of dictators. JD. Vance was
spot on, spot on in his criticism of the European Union. Again,
I'm getting back to what I said here on the
(02:25):
shot where the United States is gonna I would basically say, hey, listen,
you know we don't like dealing with the European Union.
Okay this, uh you know, we just do no idea.
We're going to deal with individual countries. We're going to
deal with individual countries, you know, and just right so
(02:50):
we don't really need to deal with you. I said,
we workout trade deals with individual countries. What would they do, Oh, there,
they would flip out all of the show our nay
shipping circuit in Washington, d C. And elsewhere, all a
trans athletic alliance people, all the think people. They would
have again a freak out because again, that's they're the people.
(03:13):
That's their club. It's their club. They like to hang
out with one another. They don't really like to work
much at all. They like that. You may show up
at various different conferences and pose for the uh the
the picture where they all stand and they look tough.
We made fun of that here on the program, some
sort of EU Avengers or something like that, where they
(03:33):
have no superpowers. That's what I would do that State Department.
That's what I did. So you know what we cannot
deal Okay, I don't feel like dealing with the European you.
We're going to deal with individual countries. That's how I do.
Deal with Hungary, deal with Italy, deal with Greece, deal
(03:55):
with countries, deal with countries that want to deal with US. Okay,
I can't deal. I can't deal with this, this collective
body of countries and all of their regulations, all of
that nonsense. And see how fast they fold, See how
fast they fall. See how many countries say, hey, you
(04:15):
know they were going to stick with the United States. Yeah,
I know. You're proud history, and most of it is
a proud Catholic history that built Western civilization. Let's just
be honest. But yet the twentieth century, people just kill eachild.
(04:40):
And it wasn't that long ago, wasn't that long ago?
And again you're so full of it when it comes
to you, your so called morals and high ground crap.
You're watching what's taking place in Turkey, right Turkey is
not a member of the European Union. And when it's convenient,
(05:01):
when it's convenient, the European Union likes to criticize Turkey.
But right now, right now, despite the fact that aer
Dolon in Turkey again arrested, arrested his chief competitor, who
is the mayor of istanbul I prefer Constantinople. But that's
just me.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, well, well we're kind of turning a blind eye
to that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Why well, you know what, Turkey's got a big army.
Turkey's got a big army. It's the second largest army
in Europe. And well they feel like we'll beasts.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
We might need that if Russia decides again everything that
you're hearing about the European Union and their big rebound
and they're going to invest in defense, YadA, YadA, YadA,
it's nonsense. It's nonsense. They are right now hoping.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They are they right now are hoping that they can
just wait out Donald Trump, wait out Donald Trump and
get another globalist into the UH the Office, the Oval
Office of the United States so they can go back
to doing what they do. They're going to talk a
(06:23):
big game, but they're not going to do anything. And again,
you know, we love to.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Criticize himself a dictator do all this one country after
another country after another country after another country within the
European Union.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Arresting people, law fair, canceling elections, this out of Paris
for crying out log shot to win Okay. Paris court
on Monday sentence pen four year prison sentence were two
years suspended and the rest to be served under how
(07:00):
arrested or electronic monitoring blocked her from running for the
presidency in twenty twenty seven. They said that the crime
was a misuse and embezzlement of allowances provided for members
of the European Parliament to hire assistance. She allegedly diverted
(07:23):
money for party purposes rather than parliamentary uses, though there
is an overlap between the two and she has denied wrongdoing.
So again, this is an example of political warfare. This
is straight out of what happened in New York with
Alvin Bragg going after Donald Trump for some dubious campaign
(07:48):
finance violations. Nonsense, Now you want to talk about selective enforcement.
Other members of the European Parliament have stumbled over the
vague financial rules in issuing this case. Between twenty nineteen
(08:08):
twenty two, one hundred and thirty nine European lawmakers nearly
one in five likely misused the allowance that supposedly tripped
up Miss Lapenn and the National Rally case. Prosecutors dredge
of allocations related to transactions back in two thousand and four. Again, Again,
(08:31):
these usually end in some sort of repayment of the money.
Miss Lapen repay three hundred and thirty thousand euros with
no admission of guilt. But they decided to throw the
book at her, and again this prevents her from running.
Yeah that that mcron's a little weasley Sabitchimi. Yeah, that's
(08:56):
that's leftists for you. Anyway. Is is the European Union
worse than Russia? Maybe not, they're not. They're on their way.
