What happens when a half-century-old trade agreement between global powerhouses expires? In this episode of the Elsa Kurt Show, we sit down with Clay Novak to unravel the profound consequences of the 1974 US-Saudi Arabia oil agreement coming to an end. This pact, pivotal in anchoring the US dollar and cementing military and economic alliances, now leaves a void with potential for cryptocurrency and gold to rise in its place. Join us as we dissect the ramifications for international trade and express our concerns over the current administration's approach to this seismic shift.
Is the Biden administration projecting strength or signaling vulnerability on the world stage? We critically assess the administration's responses to international military threats and diplomatic challenges, pointing out moments that reveal a concerning lack of deterrence against foreign adversaries. From President Biden's public gaffes during key events to the administration's attempts to spin these missteps, we paint a vivid picture of how these actions—and inactions—impact America's global standing. We also touch on a remarkable clip of former President Obama humorously musing about a shadow presidency, probing its implications for the current administration's image.
Can President Biden hold his own against Trump in a head-to-head debate? We explore the high stakes of the upcoming presidential debate, questioning Biden's endurance and cognitive readiness for the grueling 90-minute showdown. We delve into the strategic elements of debate rules and speculate on Trump's game plan to leverage Biden's potential vulnerabilities. Wrapping up the episode, we tackle the contentious issue of cultural recognition months, debating whether they foster unity or sow division within society. With a nod to Morgan Freeman's perspective on collective history, we challenge listeners to rethink how we celebrate our shared heritage.
