the, the, the cars are expensive and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do you have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do. don't marshall state main street because i'm probably going to

make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the waiting thing. the . the hello and welcome across the top where all things are considered on peter lavelle. clearly the republican party has rallied around there now many in former president donald trump. but that does not mean there is unity within the party when it comes to policy, particularly foreign policy. trump was ruled once, fluid happen again, the cross talking trump, i'm joined by my guess, larry johnson in tampa. he is

a managing partner for a burg associates, a former c i, a analyst, and the us state department counterterrorism official. also in florida, we have tom the long ago. he is the publisher of gold godson, guns, blog, and newsletter and and like jackson, we crossed to daniel mcadams. he is the executive director of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity. alright gentlemen, cross lock rules and effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate danielle, let me go to you 1st and like jackson, i know a lot of things are happening right now, but let's say one issue at a time. and the republican convention in milwaukee was kind of a love fest, you know, republicans are not actually known for that. okay. but it seemed to have a good atmosphere. obviously there was unity around having trump is the nominee. but if you look at the speeches, there's a lot of disarray when it comes to foreign policy and what it means america 1st. i mean having, i know it was a big convention hall, but having nikki haley mike, palm pale, tucker carlson, and j d. fans in the same room. kinda odd,

go ahead. it is odd and i think you know, part of the unity and this is by no means to suggest this conspiracy theory. but part of the unit, the unity was brought about by the fact that someone almost killed the former president trump. and i think that a and his response to it, which was a, um, i mean i conic response. it was an iconic photo iconic response. it really cemented him in as a tough guy. i mean, it's sort of reminds me of a break. and then of course, we saw with a couple of, you know, what, right after it happened. there was that reprise of the reagan speech when the balloon popped. and he said, you missed me, i mean that's that kind of a reagan magic. and i think that carried through the convention, the problem with the american 1st one policies is a meaningless term. yeah. you know, you have all the neo cons coming out in the what not would work. now say, well, what america 1st means is that we have to deter the rest of the world. we have to project our power. it's a meaningless term. and so the new concept climbing onto it,

because that's what neo cons do. they'll be whatever you want them to be, as long as you hire them. and that's the big danger. because trump is not a, an ideal guy. he's not a philosophy guy. he's uh, that's not how he works. he's not a policy guy. well, you know, the larry, i mean they, they the choice of j events while i welcome it. it's not as straightforward as his supporters say, i mean, he's a hawk on china hawk on iran. taiwan, obviously the issue of, of ukraine is what he differs from so many of the neo cons. what different, so make for his, for him being vice president. i mean, couldn't this, trump say you are headed the border and that's it. no foreign policy, as well as the dances young man with a know some of the some of the views he espouses, i don't think are really grounded in some of the let's call a long time. it's

a logical commitment that you know, he's going to have to take over the world. what's taking place right now is the republican electorate. there is very, very much of a, gets going into foreign wars, a good friend of mine. he was a deputy assistant secretary of state and the counterterrorism bureau now lives in iowa. and he's in the iowa iowa legislature. he went around to a meeting that chuck grassley had one of these town halls. the very 1st question. and it was not just what it was multiple, whatever i want to know is quote, why the hell are we spending all of this money in ukraine when we've got needs here? yep. that's where it was. and it is, it's people like grass they. now there's that a compromise, they, they try to sell it out, but this is helping us build jobs cuz we've got a factory over and uh, east iowa, this building a $155.00 millimeter shops. so that's what i'm saying is there's a separation that's growing between the republican base and trump is still smart

enough that despite all of his bomb bows to now we're going to do this. we're going to go, you know, punch them in the face if they don't do what we say when it gets down to actually making the policy decisions. he recognizes it's a lose or does get united states more aggressively involved and formed wars. yeah, tom, it's very, it's very interesting because the democrats, again, for the 3rd time, decided not to have a primary. they're just the anointing someone, but the republicans did have a real primary, a real democratic one. and larry is absolutely right. the base is very clear. what it wants and doesn't want, but we don't have that that uh there will necessarily represent it within the party . and unfortunately the people around trump as well. i think that that is that's changing is like um, what's the bestbuy? the big bands i think, is, is in st. louis at the very least, we finally have somebody at near, at the, near trump that same. yep, no,

ukraine. let's start, let's, let's take some wins where, you know, it's like the end of the day. you can't really ask for everything and trump is now talking about what we have. we have no responsibility is i want and that's an important distinction. now, you know, we, can we go for the try back to talk about the middle east as well. of course not, there are much different real issues to the united states in the middle east. but let's start there the, the, the bigger big question now is whether the neo cons were on their way out or not. it was very clear that the that the donor class for both parties wanted nikki haley. yeah. and either joe biden or some equivalent substitute that would just continue the existing policy and, and then the shooter missed an hour and a different world. trump can do it every once and, you know, there was no unity for i saw the r and see when i looked at it, i saw the seething hatred from karl rove and g ram and the rest of the paper. they

were absolutely seething. i've looked at that or some tire aren't see in the way it was that way. it was staged and laid out and everything else from wasn't supposed to be there folks, period. he was supposed to be there. it was supposed to be a funeral. and the anointment and mickey halley, so that we wound up with, i don't know, some terrible sits right now. we get this like weird thing with the democrats going on as it was going to be their candidate. and i'm still, i'm still just laying odds that it was supposed to be here. hillary versus hailey. that's what i, i scope out and back in february. and that's what i still think is on the table for 3 weeks in chicago. well, daniel can, can, i mean, how did they move forward? i mean, you know, that the, the advantage we have with trump is that he was president at one time. okay. so we know what kind of decision making process easy as or doesn't have. and i mean, but who's going to be in his cabinet? okay, we can have j defiance. oh, that's great. but mike pompei

o it had of defense. i mean, how is that gonna work? yeah, and you're seeing the same people come come back around and we will probably get to this. i don't want to blow the whistle too soon, but you know, uh, even the ukraine situation we had you, i'm sure that all the, all 3 of you gentlemen saw the proposal put forth by general kellogg and fred slides that came out a few weeks ago about them last month, i guess it was, and this was supposed to be the great achievement of the coming chunk foreign policy team and the 3 of the 4 of us who's who follow rusher pretty well and you're paying pretty well. understand the d. o, a d o a completely because it's an insane it's, it's not even minutes like it's, it's like pre minutes gets its, uh, you know, it consist of the us going to rush and say a going to you great and say hey, if you sit down at the table and talk, peace will give you more weapons and going to russian, saying, if you don't sit down and talk peace, we're going to give you create everything we've got as if we've not been doing that . i know for the last 2 and a half years or so it is absolutely

d away and you know, with us just wanted to over to put in for ever. this is actually if you, if you bikes on this piece of rancid, uh, you know, uh, meet uh, that actually could take him down and you know, better than i do. uh peter, at home would it would be like if you took a est of the poor copy of a of the mask agreements home and said hey, we want, this is going to be great. yeah. but where, after all, we all have to remember that one of trump's impeachment trials was over ukraine right now. and he has, he hasn't forgotten that. what was really fascinating is there, there is a pro this project 2025. yeah. now trump has said all that i know this divorced himself from it sorta, but then he said i wish of well but, but the reality is there are some people involved with that project who were in trump's administration, hoover and personnel issues. and the less than, say, learn from the 1st term was they showed a clean house, they didn't,

they allow too many neo cons to many of these people with other agendas in and so there prepping it. so trump is actually engaged in some must gutter off go right now. what he's doing is he's been disavowing any knowledge 2025. never heard of that stupid idea. but if he wins, they're going to hit the ground and they're gonna got the bureaucracy that. that is one thing that's going to happen with larry larry, i brought up the, the, the ukraine impeachment issue for a reason. i mean, what's to stop them? they've been to impeach him for doing that as well so that they will not. i think it's unlikely that they're going to have the democrat majority in either the senate or the house. okay. if they write that, you know, if they hang in there, that, that will be the one safeguard. but it's the same time, you know, they, what do i mean? i'm sorry to interrupt blurry, but i mean, the lindsey graham would be on board for that. marco luxury, i would be on the board for that was on wednesdays. like of whether rain in

a hurricane or case just which, which way he's getting blown is uh oh no. all ponds intended. there. larry. uh do you guys keep going? yeah. but, but uh, do they know that one of the guys involved with the 2025 projects is knowledge? is that how the world did they have that? eric, she on the she umbrella running around the at a see, you know, is so they, they, they do at least this time around, trump understands, and he understands some of the corruption with the money that's involved. so, you know, i agree, i think tom is exactly right. we can, hey, to out of 3 ain't bad. to quote me love the jump in there, tom, go ahead. we got it. before we go to the right one i was gonna say is, you know, it is, it's not even just project 2025 and one. i understand there are 2 groups. there's the heritage of project 2025, and there's a f b i that's also doing the exact same thing. taken resume is getting ready,

figuring out what to do. they're talking to the office of mothers management budget and a variety of other things. they understand the personnel is policy and you know, trump the 1st time around didn't have a transition. staff is no one expected them to win. and so he entered the net that's the vipers and didn't have control, didn't have a real majority in the senate, didn't have, you know, you know, it really was a man on the island. and then the only people he could trust with a spot where people like derrick cushion or his daughter, well we have, we have the good and the go to a break. we have, we have to go to a break hard break here. i just want to know why nikki haley was there. okay, we gotta go to a break. and after that break, we'll continue our discussion on trump state without the the,

[000:00:00;00] the 19 sixty's we're attorney for the advertise struggle for liberation. however, in the south of the continental european races decided for a long v agony of colonialism. in 1965, the white minority unilaterally declared the state of rhodesia states authorities

pursue the policy of racial segregation. the indigenous population was deprived of real political rights and subject them merciless economic exploitation african bay tree. it's with the support of the soviet union and china oppose the splinter of the colonial system. a coalition of pro western countries just the side of road. these are the gorillas carried out bold raids from the territory of zambia and mozambique and inflicted painful blows on the races. as the situation was in the ro, dejan army during the chemical and biological weapons, the races boys in the water and food and planted contaminated medicines on the gorillas. this caused an epidemic of cholera and anthrax and lead to mass vitality . however, the attempts to break down the adver against resistance were feudal. the white minority relief was due in 1979. it kept pitch elated. a year later, free elections warehouse,

instead of racist road. the just the state of zimbabwe appeared on the world map and became a true, vast yes, of the ideas of an african. it's of the welcome back across black where all things are considered. i'm peter linelle, joe and you were discussing donald trump, the okay time before we went to the break, we were talking about uh, a potential, i guess it would be human resources policy. you rightfully pointed out to be the 1st trump administration. they were grossly unprepared. now they hopefully hip learn their lesson if he were to be elected and if he were to be a non created, remember there are 2 different things. 2 very important things in our season right now. but tom, there was the, you know, the, the inter agency consensus that's not going to change much. well, let's go ahead tom. well, it,

it very much coat. and i think before the breakthrough ask you about why nikki haley was there while she was sent over to the land to be terrible. and then she was almost right. i think honestly trump center there to embarrass or and to put her on an island and then you know, and actually kill her political career more than anything else if you want. my honest opinion. i remember watching that just gone. yeah. you're so well fully not prepared. it's not funny. i know i really it, it again, i watched the very interesting video for about a year ago with the a couple of kids were in the trump administration or now who were, who were explaining what they're planning on doing with 2020 products. 2025 and they talk about their winds. and like it was, they're like, oh my god, i don't when there's somebody going to stop us from doing this. like, what does the military going to show up in our office door and tell us to stop by getting yeah, cuz they finally figured out how to do it. that seems really to get it done. and then they just did it. you know, and, and they're like, oh we,

i guess we can do this and if it, if i live by the be honestly die by the very ok. yeah. you know, and what i like to call davos is very good at manipulating the bureaucracy they do it need you, they do it in the british with the civil service. they do it in the united states. and so, you know what, you learn how the rules of the bureaucracy works. you know, the, the, the world could be oyster. yeah. that's, it sounds like communism to me. dog. that's exactly what it comes. yeah, daniel, what will it again if i were to come to pass to a trump is elected, he is a no q rated. will ukraine be the litmus test for him in foreign policy? i mean, i think you, ukraine is an easy one because that's all on but, and this is biden's baby. yeah. the republicans voted for the money more than voted against the money isn't on any form of venture that i've seen in a while, but this is, this is biden's baby. so it's a very easy way for him to divorce himself from biting. he doesn't likes to lensky

even despite their phone call last week. it's an easy when you're already seeing people pulling away from the claim policy. i mean, as long as you should've seen the running on the wall about a half a year ago when he didn't used to addicted to the grist that was coming his way. so yeah, i think i agree with tom on this. this isn't room with every on this is an easy 1st when for him to, to pull back 1st, i mean, 1st goes the money. and when the money goes towards over, doesn't matter who you bring to the table. what do you think about that larry? because i mean, you know, you get all of us have noticed that the rest of the gate. uh, i don't know what um, iteration is of it now is a, is rearing its ugly head. and it has a lot less effect than it used to, obviously. but you know, who lost ukraine that's going to be cited and there's a lot of new accounts on the republican side that will say that as well. how is trump going to have to deal with those people? so here's the problem to trump this. so transactional,

he's not guided by any kind of vision, philosophical, it'd be a logical. uh, so for example, yeah, he's going to try to withdraw from ukraine. this is the same guy that blew up the ins agreement. so really to kill the nuclear controlled with respect to enter media of nuclear weapons. and that's going to be back on the table from the center. and what russia is going to be doing is the kind of thing that sort of touches trump's hot buttons where this ok, we're going to build these, we're going to create a challenge and trumps natural instinct as well. oh no, you can, i could do it better and he's got to come back and then there's this real trump is emotionally more connected to the is riley project than by and that's going to be there is something that will tempt him to expand it because he falls into the we're going to the, the ron is responsible for what's going on in palestine. yeah. and so it's

a divorce in from that. so that the problem i have with, you know, much better than but than buying. but still there is no cor philosophical set of values guided him other than his make america great again. yeah. well, it's a tom i, i don't understand how i am back in, in funding advantage side and gaza is america 1st. it's always been a mystery to me and i think a disgrace as well. but that's another issue here where, you know, you have not only the inter agency consensus, but you have, you know, donor a consensus on this as well. i mean, you know, getting, getting past the, the awful bite and legacy is one thing, but perpetuating it is another tom i agreed and it's, this is going to be a very difficult. that is really, guys, it is real gods, is going to be the big issue right? that trump is have space and i'll be honest with you. i expect is opposition to

make it is problem. and i'm going to point directly towards my normal uh, my normal villains, in this case, to be the british. uh, the one getting i did notice is just to go back to ukraine forest johnson saying, hey, okay, so let's get time to get it up. that's a very interesting tell that tells me that you know, the, that, that the traditional british run that is kind of closing up the trunk to get into his orbit or the, the election after the election. and then as always, we have these, we don't always with those people, it's always about, you know, savvy, everybody in the back of the, at the right moment. so i'm a little i'm, i'm watching that angle on this very carefully. and i don't have a good answer, that's fine. well, i don't think i can say is that trumping netanyahu, do not get along. and that's wrong, absolutely despises netanyahu, and that's a good solid. well, okay, but i don't, i don't think any of us have, have the answers. that's why we're doing this program. yeah. because i'm genuinely

interested here. yeah. daniel, you know, one thing the trump campaigns on, and i think it's a fair thing for him. he said he didn't start any new wars, but that's, that's an accomplishment for an american president. okay. but now he's getting a inherit. if again, he's elected and he's an argue rated to wars. um, is he going to be saddled with him? is it, you know, and then what is the power of the presidency if the president can't change american foreign policy? the executive, that's the only constitutional role really has of any substance. everything else, it just window dressing. but you know, there are 2 things. the 1st indication is actually not that bad. and you remember a couple of months ago trumped in an interview with an israeli newspaper. where he said on the one hand finished the job. but on the other hand, he said this is taking too long. it's messy. you guys are looking bad, the whole world is pissed off to you. and that's his instinct in that. he doesn't like the fact that the, this whole is rarely project of taking over of, you know, of ethnic cleansing and gaza is very much driven by

a strange ideology. it's driven by some sort of a, of a religious fervor or something. trump doesn't like that sort of thing. it doesn't make sense. it's not a winning view. so i think there's a kernel of hope in that. in this tom said, nothing. yahoo and trump hate each other, which is another important thing. so i think there's a, there's a, there's a colonel there of hope. okay, well, you know, larry, i liked the phrase and it's been a quite popular in this program. why is it is every election we have we end up with john mccain. yeah. for the, because that's where the money is by all the money. you know, this is, this is about keep the, the feeding and care of the military industrial complex. and all the members of congress are so compromised by the money. just the amount of dollars that are required to run for congress any more, you know, we're talking $5.00 to $7000000.00 and that's cheap. so the, to do that, hey,

gotta have access to these corporations, they write checks. so a lot of us foreign policy really boils down to that. what, what's interesting about trump though, is i do have a friend senior guy in the intelligence community who was set up in on certain decisions like the one where they were, he was being pressure to bomb the syria and the way out of an alleged chemical weapons tech and trump says things are not to do that. and the problem he had, the 1st term was he surrounded himself with people who were in. i'm almost forcing him to do it this time around. let's pray that he gets people that will be, is a little more cautious and say, is this really going to serve our interest in no time in looking at the transcode campaign? you know, he makes a lot of speakers. i thought his speech it they are and see the 1st 5 minutes of it were absolutely brilliant. the rest of it was boiler plate but given what he said

on the stone because he learned anything. i think he has. i think, you know, i think from post near death experience is not the same person. and i think we really have to, we have, i don't know what that we've seen that person yet. and i think that that's just normal. but then we have to ascribe normal human, you know, i don't know, reactions to even donald trump, there's kind of a lot of, it's such a larger than life, almost cartoon like figure. so i hope that it makes him more determined to do the right thing as opposed to scared about doing the right thing. i don't know hoping, but generally speaking that's the way it works. so i was reading some, you know, so, so i hate to do mine reading or anything along those lines or even engaging amish was i called you, but that's kind of what i do. so i don't know. has he learned something? i think so. i think he has learned the, the depth of the depravity that,

that animates the people that he's right in opposition to trying to make america great. again, that's what i, that's the way i read. donald trump, how about you like that? that looks like i have no idea daniel, what do you think is trump learned anything as well? the one thing that's more important than that, i think is that the world has changed significantly since 2016 is good. 2017. but trump took off as we have the rise of the global south now, which is a significant formidable factor. the us cannot project power like it could when trump took office the 1st time that was the last remnants of the old empire. so the world has changed. you want to, you want to go to war with china. you're going to lose, you want to take on it, run. you're going to blow up the middle east and you're going to lose. we've already lost and you can using all of the force of nato. so the reality is on the ground have changed the world significantly since the 1st time truck took office. well it's, it's really interesting. we have, we, we, um, we have uh, with trumpet, with the world that trump inherited in 2017, when he was a new, all you rated. and one that he would have in 2025. the world has changed

a lot. you're absolutely right. but i wonder if donald trump has been able to absorb that change, and at the end of the day gentlemen, it will be key who he surrounds himself with. and that's one of we will all reconvene, hopefully before that. and we'll talk about that. we're gonna leave it on that point there. gentlemen. i want to take my guess in lake jackson and in florida. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at ortiz. so you next time, remember the prospect, the the hi, i'm acceptable and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please,

or do the have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the wayne state to possess your country. they want to possess your you around noon. they want to possess your gas. they want to at least share why, you know, it was good for them because he was just opening all the doors. but the problem with them is they do not understand that the connectivity sticks of people who they are dealing with as much as you press. the bear bear will come out. the problem is going to be how to put the bear back to his face,
