Frank comes out on fire in Episode 71 when questioned on his recent travels to the Middle East, describing the region as hot, and clearly justifying the Prime Minister's recent outreach for partnerships with countries in the region. He summarizes thoughts on the recent COP 30 and the G20 Summits, as well as trade negotiations with the US and he highlights a sleeper issue in Canada, which is the growing popularity of a separatist party in Quebec with a mandate to vote for separation. He finishes with thoughts on political meddling allegations, Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, and other hot topics in Washington.
