And if they do that, if I think it's at all a hostile act, I will put very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe on many things.

Vivian Walter, earlier our correspondent in Brussels, Dave Keating, was saying that this kind of threat would have spooked the bejesus out of Brussels a year ago.

Now, not so much.

I mean, the words coming out of President Trump's mouth is becoming increasingly hard to believe.

Yesterday, I think they had 20 minutes of standing ovation for him.

It means that they are looking for a leader, for someone who speaks out what they cannot do, cannot say.

Yeah, so, you know, Mark Carney also getting – there was one taunt, according to Dave Keating, during his Thursday speech in Strasbourg.

A far-right member of the European Parliament who chanted USA, USA when Carney entered the chamber.

He's just back from Canada himself, France 24.

Brussels correspondent Dave Keating.

How are you doing?

Great to be back in Europe.

And dear Mark, I said we must urgently reimagine our partnerships, so I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the European Union.

Okay, not a partnership against anyone else.

I know, Dave Keating, you're chomping at the bit to talk about that.

But first, I want to turn to Alan Woods because you've penned a column for the Toronto Star this Wednesday, which you say it's a new name but an old idea.

And I think that those of you who listen to this on a continual basis will find today's episode incredibly interesting.

With me today is Dave Keating.

who you may not know at the moment, but you will know by the end of this podcast, who is the author of a very interesting book that just came out called The Owned Continent, The Owned Continent, How to Free Europe from American Military, Economic, and Cultural Dependence.

A lot of powerful language there.

He runs a sub stack, Dave Keating.

It's at davekeating.com.net. I'm sorry, davekeating.net, I think, correct?

DaveKeating.substack.com or otherwise known as Gulfstream Blues, the sub stack.

And for listeners, the current book is The Owned Continent.

Lismore Derinellum will be taking on Taddy Oon.

And in the senior football at 2.30, which there will be a live stream available on the Minnear and District Football League Facebook page, which I think Dave Keating might be hosting this afternoon, that game will be between Warndo Mortlake and Hawksdale MacArthur.

A few local names there too with Tyson Hogan, Lockie Gunning and so on playing for Warndoo Mortlake as well.

In the netball, nine o'clock this morning.

I did commit sort of six, seven, eight weeks ago to helping out again.

And unfortunately, Dave Keating, who's been involved for a number of years out there, and he's great because he knows all the players.

Josh Redd

should be a good one.
