The Not So Summer Doldrums

In Episode 42, Frank checks in from his summer location in New Brunswick for a wide ranging discussion on a busy geopolitical calendar.  We start close to home with a recap of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent speech to Frank's charity summer golf event on the East Coast.  Not surprisingly, Clinton's remarks centered on US politics, including the prospect of a Donald Trump Republican Party nomination and the likelihood of a third party disruptor at the 2024 election.  Frank compares the situation in Netanyahu's Israel to a 2nd Trump term in the Oval Office and suggests that no one should take for granted democratic norms in the Western world.  After brief remarks on the NATO summit, we pivot to Canadian politics and discuss the Trudeau cabinet shuffle and its potential impact on the next party in power in Canada.  Before we finish on the Blue Jays, Frank gets out his crystal ball for a very interesting look at the world from his lens 10 years from now. 1:32 - Secretary Clinton visits Frank's East Coast Charity Event 7:30 - The Prospects of a Third Party Disruptor in 2024 13:38 - The World Reacts to Netanyahu's Move to Weaken the 19:21 - Supreme Court in Israel 23:04 - Trudeau's Cabinet Shuffle 28:28 - Governing Canada with Just One Premier Wearing Liberal Stripes 31:55 - The Future of the World 10 Years from Now This podcast was recorded on July 27, 2023 This podcast should not be copied, distributed, published or reproduced, in whole or in part.
