And I watched, it was funny, I was watching a rally last night in Colombia, right?

Interrupted by Matt Jones
Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

where their president, who President Trump does not like, Gustavo Petro, he was about to give this big rally and he was late.

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

And it looks like he was late because he was speaking to President Trump.

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

So he gets out in front of this crowd of thousands and thousands of people in Bogota for what was expected to be a very anti-U.S.,

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

rally and he says and you know i'm summarizing here uh but he says something along the lines of you know i had one speech prepared uh but now i have to give another speech and and he's like let me tell you the first speech was really tough and then he said something along the lines of president trump not being not being dumb and he isn't you know he used the word bobo he's not he's not he's not dumb and the crowd kind of hissed or booed or didn't react positively to that

And this is a guy, I mean, there's been like a war of words on social media between Trump and, and, and Gustavo Petro for, you know, many weeks now.

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

Uh, and so to see this kind of turnaround in the last, you know, and it's just, it's just incredible.

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

Well, I think with Colombia, I would first take issue that for years there's been this kind of animosity to the point of military intervention.

Gustavo Petro has never been a super fan of the United States.

Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

I think that's a fair way to put it.

Interrupted by Matt Jones
Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

He's a former rebel himself.

Interrupted by Matt Jones
Episode 27 - Phil Stewart

And so he has not been a fan.
