italy and so forth and i think you know metaphysically if you will there is a part of the west that does not want to give up that 500 year dominance of the globe and nato is the military mechanism by which they can maintain and even extend you know that sort of global dominance you were talking earlier about the. ring let me jump in here has urged i mean. good we're almost out of time i want to go to bruce here is that and i'm really glad that rick brought up this neal colonia agenda here because bruce they the west cannot conceive of how being china is a peer because for 500 years it has been european countries have controlled the global system they cannot consonant the fact that china is the equal to the west 40 seconds go ahead bruce will isn't that a reasons. concept well from reason liberals yap from liberals yeah. well one last word about nato is they've created these wars. to ramstein air force . and so the nato now understands that they can gather there is. used versioning. weapons in space program that he would use not ultimately to try to russia china i'm so glad you broug

among the best in the west. now angela merkel admits they have lost control. i will explore the fate of miss merkel and her nation. >>> but first here is my take. while donald trump claimed he wanted to make america great again, president biden is attempting to actually do it. trump's slogan got americans thinking about the 1950s and early 1960s, when the u.s. dominated the world and the economy produced rising wages for workers and executives alike. a defining feature of those years was federal investment in infrastructure, scientific research and education. by contrast, washington in recent years has mostly spent money to fund private consumption by giving people tax cuts or transfer payments. biden's infrastructure bill is the first major fiscal program in five decades to focus once again on investment. when you look at federal spending as a whole, it seems to have risen significantly over the last few decades. but the composition of that spending tells the real story. most of that increase is due to sharp rises in entitlement programs like medicare and med
