France and Germany in turmoil.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning. Well, three days to Christmas and with us this morning, do you give us an update of what the heck is going on in Europe? And Europe is usually quiet this time of year, but let’s find out.

0:14 We have Mario Economo. He is our correspondent in Europe and he’s a former banker, works in New York, London, Zurich with big money center banks. Well, Mario, merry Christmas and give us an update what’s going on.

0:34 Speaker 2 Yeah, it’s good morning, mister Katsimativi’s and a very merry Christmas to you and our listeners as well. So I would love to be able to sit here and to talk to you today about what’s going on in France and specifically the fact that one of the newspapers there released some private discussions that President mccron was having some

0:51 members of his personal staff and friends, where he made disparaging remarks of his former prime minister, remark that we’re not going to air and words used on the radio because we’ll get in trouble. I’d love to also talk to you about what a disaster and a mess Germany’s in with respect to the policy decisions, or rather the

1:12 lack thereof with respect to the current financial situation Germany’s in. I’d also like to talk to you about the fact that miss vonderlyon the European Commission President flew to Turkya that’s Turkey for you folks in American and she actually pledged another one billion dollars to President Ertigon to help him with the quote unquote the refugee crisis that’s going

1:35 to unfold on account of what’s happened in Syria, which at this point most people, inclusive of President Elect Trump, have said Turkya played an outsized role in I’d also like to talk to you about the fact that Germany did already send a delegation to Syria, and they’ve pledged money.

1:55 They’ve already given, if I’m not mistaken, eight million euros, and they’ve pledged billions to help rebuild Syria. But I’m not going to focus on all those things today. You know what we’re going to talk about today. We’re going to talk about, mister al Jilani and the fact that here in Europe, the majority of us, not the elites

2:11 in Brussels that run the countries and think they run the world, but the regular folks, the regular citizens. The fact that a man who was actually involved in ninety eleven, a man who we have been told was actually associated and affiliated with mister al Zarkawi, a man who was actually captured after nine eleven, and we’ve been told was

2:34 put in prison in the US. Well, under the US is a prison system. I don’t know if it was in Cuba, it was probably, but he was there for five years and he was let go. Now, why would you let a man go who was actually actively involved in and on nine eleven?

2:55 Speaker 1 Well, how do you think it was widely published? And you know, it’s the first time I’m hearing about it.

3:00 Speaker 2 But well, it’s being discussed. It’s been discussed in Europe in certain media circles. Uh. And also the fact that he’s got a ten million dollar reward on his head, which the US has not lifted as of yet is rather interesting too. So this bad boy that everybody is telling us as a reformed bad boy and he’s actually now going to be constructive

3:24 and inclusive. Here are those words again, by the way, diversity, equity and inclusion, the DEI agenda this, well, that’s going to be.

3:33 Speaker 1 Dead on January. January twentieth and two o’clock instead.

3:40 Speaker 2 Yeah, well, okay, I’ll tell you what, mister Katsumathid’s you can tell me that, but you’re better off. And I know you’re a big supporter of the tunnel and towers. I believe it’s called foundation and the ninety eleven victims and their families, and you know, they’re the ones that are going to have to live with this until that day.

3:58 They’re the ones that are going to have to live with the fact that a man who was responsible, whether he was directly or indirectly responsible, he was responsible for what happened on that day. He’s a man who’s cut people’s heads off, He’s a man who’s thrown people off of roofs, he’s a man that’s raped women, and now

4:16 we are being told that he’s actually okay for us to deal with. How does one actually communicate that to the tens of thousands of men and women who’s served in Iraq and served in Afghanistan and actually either lost their lives or lost lynn.

4:32 Speaker 1 It doesn’t make any sense. And I will definitely bring it to the attention of the tunnels to tawispeople.

4:40 Speaker 2 In most Sir, it makes no sense. And I have to tell you, actions like this make a lot of people scratch their heads. And that’s why in Greece, where I am today, a lot of people seven out of ten no longer support the war effort in the Ukraine, even though the Greek government continues to send weapon systems

4:57 to the Ukraine. Most want an end to that or and most are saying, wait a minute. We were told that all these people were bad and they were jihatis. Now you’re telling us they’re good. So are they good or are they bad?

5:09 Speaker 1 And do we marry?

5:10 Speaker 2 You know, the United States of America.

5:12 Speaker 1 We only have a minute and a half left. But let me just tell you President Biden has made a lot of mistakes. Sometimes he’s conscious or unconscious. There’s a whole problem that’s coming to light in the Will Street Journal in the last week or so that he hasn’t been himself. So it’s the fault of his entire administration

5:37 for not bringing it to the world’s attention and doing something about it. But President Trump taking you over at January twentieth or two o’clock, things will change.

5:50 Speaker 2 Okay. Well, let’s hope for the best then, and let’s hope that we’re not going to be told and we’re not going to be advised that we actually have to follow people that have engaged in rape, murder, torture and beheadings, things which are appalling. At the very least.

6:07 Speaker 1 I agree with you. The man did not deserve to be let going. And if you, if you send me some information on it, I will bring to tunnels, to towers attention, and I’ll bring it to other people’s attention, to a million or so listeners listen to our stations.

6:26 Speaker 2 And as a closing statement, I would just like to say everybody, and I’m not saying this because I’m a citizen of Greece, but I’m a citizen of the world. I would like everybody to understand and to know what President elect Trump said very clearly, who was exactly behind what happened in Syria. And it’s up to the United

6:44 States of America to reign that ally of yours in specifically Torkia, who wants to continue to be a member of NATO and wants to continue to be a member of the Western Alliance, that this type of behavior is completely unacceptable in just about every circle of decency that exists out there.

7:04 Speaker 1 Understood well, thank you, Mario, Merry Christmas, and we hope it’s going to be a great new year for the entire world because we need a good year.

7:13 Speaker 2 Yes, and let’s wish President elect Trump all the best and his efforts in the new year to actually bring things under control all around the globe. God bless
