“Having Gordon on the show is a game-changer,”\u00a0said Richard Taite. “This episode gives Americans a rare window into how global decisions are shaping our addiction crisis here at home and what we need to do about it.”<\/p>\n Known for his raw and unflinching conversations with celebrities, musicians, recovering addicts, and rehabilitation experts, Taite doesn’t shy away from hard truths, especially when it comes to fentanyl. He calls Donald Trump “The Fentanyl President” for making the crisis a top priority, and says China’s role in supplying precursor chemicals must remain in the spotlight.<\/p>\n Headline-making moments from the episode include:<\/b><\/p>\n ‘China Is Complicit’: Former EU Ambassador Sondland Says Fentanyl Crisis Is Strategic<\/a> Ex-Ambassador Sondland Warns: Trump’s July 9 Tariff Deadline Is Real; ‘Essentially Shuts Them Down’<\/a> Story Continues <\/p>\n President Trump Insider Predicts Putin Will Take Land, But Says U.S. Needs to ‘Flood Ukraine with Americans’<\/a> Full Episode Drops Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 10<\/b><\/p>\n Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube under We’re Out of Time.<\/p>\n About We’re Out of Time: Past guests include former NBA star Lamar Odom, actor and comedian Jay Mohr, HGTV’s Izzy Battres, rapper Famous Dex, and award-winning journalist Kelly Wright.

<\/b>Former U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland says China isn’t just looking the other way on fentanyl\u2014”they’re complicit.” He adds, “I think they’re assisting in the effort, not just saying go ahead\u2026 You get people hooked or killed on that substance\u2026 they don’t have to shoot a bullet at an enemy. They let the enemy kill themselves with that drug.” Host Richard Taite, calls it a national security issue, based on years of treating veterans unknowingly exposed to fentanyl. “I call him [Trump] the fentanyl president\u2026he’s moved fentanyl to the top of the list when he talks about China.” Sondland agrees, “At the top of the list whenever he brings up our trade issues with China is fentanyl. He talks about it all the time. They’re the number one producer of the precursors\u2026I think he’s bringing it out to the top of the agenda.”<\/p>\n
<\/b>Gordon Sondland, former U.S. Ambassador to the EU, breaks down Trump’s hardline trade strategy with Europe. “Every president for 40 years has asked the Europeans to drop some of these trade barriers\u2026and they’ve just tapped the U.S. along and nothing happens. So, for the first time, Trump said ‘okay fine, while you’re thinking about it, it’s a 50% tariff,’ which essentially shuts them down. And all of a sudden, within hours\u2026the phone rings \u2014 ‘okay, okay, okay, we want to talk.'” Sondland says the July 9 deadline is real. “Trump and his team will figure out how to impose them if the Europeans do not relent on some of their protectionist policies. I really believe that.”<\/p>\n
<\/b>Ex-Ambassador Gordon Sondland offers rare insight into President Trump’s private diplomacy with Vladimir Putin and predicts how the war in Ukraine could end. “He praises them in public. In private he says things like, I’m paraphrasing, ‘Vladimir, you’re unbelievable, you live in beautiful palaces, you’re worth hundreds of billions\u2026I love it, and I love you. But just remember, if you hit Ukraine, I gotta bomb the sh*t outta you\u2026I probably have to kill you.'” Sondland says the war escalated under Biden’s inconsistent strategy and argues even moderate U.S. support could have changed the outcome. Host Richard Taite asks, “So how does this end?” Sondland replies, “Putin sadly is going to wind up with some Ukrainian real estate. But the deal has to be\u2014we flood Ukraine with Americans. Not troops. Business people. Infrastructure builders. Miners. Bankers. And the message becomes: Next time you try it, you’re hitting us, not just Ukrainians.”<\/p>\n
