00:00Yeah, I mean, it was extraordinary looking at the images of Tiananmen Square earlier today.
00:05I mean, real Cold War style imagery, you know, military hardware on display, soldiers goose stepping, President Xi in the middle, flanked by Kim Jong-un and President Putin on the other side.
00:17And clearly, President Trump didn't like what he was seeing because he said a message, it seems, to President Xi on social media.
00:25Please give my regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un as you conspire against the United States of America.
00:31That's what he put on social media. I mean, he's he's not sounding happy at all about what he's being seen coming out of China.
00:40No, I think that's right, Tom. And look, you know, the president is very blunt. He's very candid. He's very transparent.
00:46So that's what everybody's thinking. So why not just say it? And I think the president's always had that kind of refreshing candor.
00:53But I do think you're seeing a return to the axes of evil. You know, you've got China flexing its muscles.
01:00You've got North Korea that's in a way diversifying away from its dependence on China, in this case, by by cozying up with the Russians, by helping the Russians with the war in Ukraine, sending soldiers even.
01:11And then you've got, of course, the third part of the axes of evil or the fourth part, which is Iran, who's incredibly weakened thanks to the United States and Israel and specifically President Trump.
01:24But they're just demonstrating that they're going to continue with this resistance to the West.
01:29And in spite of their, you know, their essentially defeat at the hands of the U.S. and Israel, they're going to stick with it and stick with the, you know, the axes of evil.
01:38And so it's difficult to watch. Nobody's happy about it. But on the other hand, we shouldn't be surprised.
