Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
And hello there, Peter Mansbridge here. You're just moments away from the latest episode of The Bridge. It's Monday. Dr. Janice Stein is here. The question, a deal's a deal, but really, what kind of deal is this between the U.S. and Iran?
Chapter 2: What kind of deal was made between the U.S. and Iran?
We'll deal with that right after this. And hello there, Peter Mansbridge here. Good to talk with you on this Monday, the beginning of another week. And Mondays always mean Dr. Janice Stein. She'll be here in a few moments' time, but we've got a bit of housekeeping as we like to do on Mondays. First of all, letting you know that this Thursday, the Your Turn question, it's AMA week.
It's our final Your Turn before the summer break. And we have lots of your answers already for Ask Me Anything. We do not need any more. We've got tons of them from past AMAs. So don't worry. There's no pressure to write this week. No pressure at all because, as I said, we have enough of your questions for an Ask Me Anything week, which will be Thursday, along with the random ranter, of course.
He'll be by as well for his last... rant of the year we have a couple of shows next week but we'll end the week on Wednesday of next week and then we're into the summer hiatus we're around of course if something big happens and there will be a couple of special good talks during the summer and I'll give you those dates later this week
Okay, before we get going with Janice, I wanted to just tell you a little story. I hope you had a good weekend. We had a good weekend here in Scotland, one of our last weekends before we head back to Canada. We'll be there in time for Canada Day, of course. This weekend, we went to Dingwall. Dingwall. which is not far from where we have our Scotland home.
And I always like going to Dingwall because it underlines to me that everything's always possible. You may have a dream in your life, something you want to accomplish, something you want to do. And you wonder whether you're ever going to get there. But you believe. And if you believe, the chances are you very well may get there. So what's that got to do with Dingwall?
Well, I love the Dingwall story. And here's why. January... Imagine this. It's January... of 1963. And you're a promising young musician, singer, rock singer. You've been at it for a few years with your friends. And it hasn't really taken off. But your manager says, hey, we've got a little tour for you. You've got to go up to Scotland. You're from southern England.
Well, yeah, actually from not southern England, but sort of the middle of England. Anyway, we've got this tour for you, and you should head up there. And part of that tour lands in Dingwall. Now, Dingwall is up in the Highlands, right? Yeah. It's north of Inverness. Not far north of Inverness, maybe half an hour drive. So you and your buddies go to Dingwall.
You get there, I believe it was a Friday night. Get to Dingwall. They get to the hall where they're going to be playing. Remember, it's January of 1963. You and your pals have big dreams. You've worked hard. You've tried hard. You write a lot of your own music. You get to Dingwall and you're playing in the hall and you look out at the crowd that's gathered there. And how many are there?
There are 19 people there. 19. Now, you've learned in your career that there may be 19, there may be 190. Doesn't matter. The ones who were there really wanted to come and see you. So you give them a show. And the boys gave them a show that night here in Dingwall. Dingwall. It's January of 1963.

Chapter 3: What were the implications of Trump's approach to the Iran deal?
There's the sex. Both partnerships broke apart.
And who knows what's going to happen in France? When is it? Spring?
There's going to be a new election. Macron can't run again.
Macron can't run, and the favorite at the moment is the right wing, is Marie Le Pen, but she may not be able to run because of other issues that are confronting her right now. But I noticed that the person who's the leading candidate, the young guy, Is it Bardello, I think it is? Yes, Bardello.
He was interesting over the weekend because he was asked about Trump with the assumption being that he would be a big fan of Trump's and would welcome a Trump endorsement. But he took the opposite approach. He said, I'm not interested in Donald Trump, what he's saying, what his solutions are, and I certainly don't want an endorsement.
That was interesting. It is interesting because that's where Georgia Maloney is, too. The Prime Minister of Italy, who started out, had a great relationship with Donald Trump, was one of the first people to fly across the ocean and go to Mar-a-Lago. She's distanced herself now from Trump. So his rhetoric, his insults, Greenland. That was the game changer in Europe.
That was the absolute game changer in Europe. It was an oh my God, aha moment. Even the far right in Europe has, and then when Orban gone, the far right has distanced itself from Trump in Europe.
You know, I was trying to think back. You know, was Maloney the first to go to Mar-a-Lago? Yeah, one of the first. Was it Danielle Smith and Kevin O'Leary who were there first? Okay, sorry. Could have been. My bad humor. Okay, listen, that's going to wrap it up for this week. And next week is our last one. Before the summer hiatus. I mean, assuming we get a summer hiatus.
I mean, who knows with this world. But we should think carefully about how we want to handle next week to try and set your fans, our listeners, up for a summer without you because they get quite frustrated.
