As Trump's trade war heats up and his anti-NATO rhetoric continues, America's allies are having to face a new reality: the global superpower can no longer be relied upon. As core allies like the EU, UK and Canada recalibrate, what does that mean for America? And what does that mean for America's traditional European allies who rely on the U.S. for their defence? To discuss the future of NATO and Five Eyes, Jason is joined by longtime friend of the Pod, Kori Schake. She has lived her entire professional life advocating for the Transatlantic Alliance and American global leadership. She started her career as NATO desk officer at DoD under GHW Bush and is now Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Kori and Jason look at what might happen if America further withdraws from the world and abandons its traditional allies; what happens next in Ukraine; if Trump has a real peace plan; and how his cabinet members are acting like a megaphone rather than as genuine advisors. The duo look at scary scenerios: like what happens if the US tried to kick Canada out of the Five Eyes Intelligence sharing partnership and why Trump's allies drive his policy choices towards the extremes.

Until 1990, Communists and Muslims were not allowed to hold office. Then on November 18, 1990, President GHW Bush and Congress QUIETLY repealed the McCarran Warner Act of 1952 forbidding Muslims and Communists from holding office. Members of that traitor congress were: Dick Cheney, John McCain, Joe Biden, Al Gore, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi...
While his generals stood at attention saluting our fallen heroes, Joe Biden checked his watch. GHW Bush made the same mistake during a Presidential debate in 1992. We all know how that turned out.

"POPPY" GHW BUSH SAVED? IRISH TENOR RONAN TYNAN Acclaimed Irish tenor Ronan Tynan also asked to pay a visit, during which he sang 'Silent Night' while the former president mouthed the words. Baker held his dear friend's hand and rubbed his feet while prayers were said and children were called to tell their father goodbye Bush’s hand and rubbed his feet. Prayers were said. The other children were called so they could tell their father goodbye. 'If those things could be sweet,' Baker said, 'it was sweet.' His final conversation was a speaker phone call with his son, George W. Bush, who praised him as a 'wonderful dad' and told him that he loved him. The peaceful final hours of George Herbert Walker Bush have been revealed, after the 41st presidents passed away aged 94 surrounded by family at his home in Houston, Texas Repentance,and with faith in Christ. God gives Repentance —it is only possible because of His grace Repentance, properly defined, is necessary for salvation. Biblical repentance is changing your mind about your sin—no longer is sin something to toy with; it is to be forsaken as we “flee from the coming wrath” . The word "grace" in biblical parlance can, like forgiveness, repentance, regeneration, and salvation, George Herbert Walker Bush said : ‘Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us.’ That is a famous 1992 quote by George Herbert Walker Bush to Sarah McLendon, a Texas journalist who Bush had known for years and who was the grand dame of the White House press corps at the time. McLendon had asked Bush: ‘What will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran contra?'”Some contend this had more to do with the Assassination of JFK when Bush was CIA director while in Dallas, that fateful day.
