“I'm Going to TORCH IT TONIGHT”

Well, tonight should be interesting. You

read that, right? Trump plans to torch

NATO in a speech tonight given at 900

p.m. Eastern time as he gives a state on

what is currently happening with the

US's involvement with Iran, the

relationship with NATO, and I'm sure

much more. It will be a fascinating

address, I'm sure. But this brings to

into question a lot of the things we've

been addressing on this show is how

serious is the fracture or as Mark

Carney would say the rupture between the

likes of NATO and the United States

Trump and the likes of Kier Starmer

Macron and other world leaders within

NATO. How bad and how deep does it go

and how serious is this going to get?

Well, the fact that Trump is now saying

publicly that he's is seriously

reconsidering US's membership in NATO.

Well, we'll see where this all goes.

However, tonight could be nothing. It

also could be history in the making and

we'll see what that is all about. But

welcome to the Elevate Report. I'm your

host Josh. Now, let's get to our first

story, shall we? From the Daily Mail,

Trump reveals he'll torch NATO in

landmark speech tonight as he absolutely

threatens to quit disgusting alliance.

Donald Trump is threatening to pull out

the US out of NATO, a move that would

dismantle the world's most powerful

military alliance and leave Western

security in disarray. The president said

he was absolutely considering quitting

the 32 nation block and plan to savage

his allies over their failure to support

the war against Iran in a prime time

address to the nation at 9:00 p.m.

Eastern time on Wednesday. I'll be

discussing my disgust with NATO, Trump

told Reuters. Asked if he was willing or

thinking about leaving, he said. Oh,

absolutely, without question. Wouldn't

you do that if you were me? Trump called

the block founded in 1949 a paper tiger

that America's adversaries do not take

seriously. With Europe's refusal to

support his war against Iran appearing

to be the final straw in his

long-running feud with its members. I

would say it's beyond reconsideration,

Trump told the Daily Telegraph in a

separate interview. I was never swayed

by NATO. I always knew they were a paper

tiger and Putin knows that too. By the

way, Trump's threat comes as European

allies have turned their backs on the

Iran war with France's Emmanuel Macron

calling the US strikes outside of

international law and Britain's Kirst

declaring it not our war. European

nations including Italy and Spain have

barred US planes from landing at bases

and flying through their airspace as

Iran's strangle hold on the straight of

Hormuz sends global oil prices

skyrocketing.

So this is the story that we are now

seeing happen before our very eyes. We

have Trump that's going to be addressing

the nation. And on top of addressing the

nation, he's going to be addressing 32

other nations tonight. We've been on

pins and needles wanting to see what

happens with the war in Iran. What ends

up happening with this relationship with

NATO and how that all transpires.

Me, you know me on this show, I've been

kind of waiting. I've been waiting to to

kind of see how this all plays out. When

this all started, I was like you. I'm

sure some of you were tentative about

this, especially being a millennial who

grew up in the era of George Bush and

weapons of mass destruction and all

that. You were wondering, okay, where's

what's really going on here? Boots on

the ground, potentially regime change.

Ah, there's some of these things I'm not

really liking the sound of if I'm being

quite honest with you. However, Trump

has shown in other instances that he

doesn't adopt the same type of foreign

policy as his predecessors have. So I

was willing to be patient, willing to

see what goes on, willing to see what

happens. And he said in the when the

first all kicked off, he said four to

five weeks. Four to five weeks. Well, we

are in week four and or you within week

four going on week five and I'm waiting

and seeing. And the fact that Donald

Trump has said that he plans to well

exit fairly soon is is something to take

into account as he stated yesterday.

Reuters reported when asked if the

United States would consider the Iran

war over. Trump said, "I can't tell you

exactly. We're going to be out pretty

quickly. US action had ensured Iran

would not have nuclear arms, he said

they won't have a nuclear weapon because

they are incapable of that now, but then

I'll leave and I'll take everybody with

me. And if we have to, we'll come back

to spot hits." So, as I said, I'm

waiting and seeing four to five weeks.

We'll see where this all goes. But if

I'm being honest, I knew there was

tension and I knew that this this battle

was happening between the US and NATO,

but I was not expecting by the end of

those 5 weeks that we'd have Donald

Trump saying he's going to torch NATO

and strongly consider leaving NATO.

Granted, they are threats. Trump likes

to play a big game. He likes to talk a

tough game. We've seen that with him.

We'll see if there's any real action

behind this. However, he is likely one

of the only political leaders from my

perspective is the one I do not want to

test because he is just unhinched enough

to do exactly what he says he's going to

do. And this is why this here in Canada

we've had such battles over here about

the issue of the 51st state about Canada

or US threatening to or I should say

Trump threatening to economically annex

Canada. This is where that tension lies

and why people are in fights over it

because people are like, "Oh, he's

clearly trolling." And then you have the

elbows up Canadians are like, "No, no,

the he wants to take us over now. It's

going to happen." And I'll be honest,

I've been in the prior camp on that

before. However, at the same time, when

it comes to this type of stuff, you

can't rule anything out, especially as

it has incredible

consequences on the international stage.

and what that means for the likes of two

of the largest economic superpowers

going head-to-head as we see China and

the United States. That's something to

consider. So that's why I'm talking

tonight. That's why the focus should be

on tonight 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. He's

going to address the United States of

America as well as 32 other NATO member

nations. And you can guarantee we're all

all going to be glued to our TVs and

watching very cautiously cuz as I said

yesterday with the home office, the UK

home office which handles immigration

passports and the other posting things

on X that are completely and utterly out

of character for what the government in

the UK has been spouting off about

recently. a bit of a step away from

progressive policies, destructive

policies. Well, that theme is continuing

on today as they posted this home office

posted that net migration is down by

nearly 70%. With visa numbers continuing

to fall by introducing higher salary

thresholds, stronger English language

requirements, and preventing visa abuse,

we're building a system that backs

British workers while attracting

highskilled labor.

Did someone send me back to 2013?

The stuff I'm seeing out of this

government is just stunning considering

the stances they've been taking. Now all

of a sudden, this paired with the stuff

they said yesterday about the grooming

gangs, about police no longer policing

social media and showing up people's

doors. All this all coming at this point

in time when Trump's going to go live

900 p.m. Eastern time to address NATO. I

know Kier Starmer's been standing up and

talking a big game.

However, it seems like him and the

government behind him are taking a
