I do think that he has fallen policies. I do think that he has fallen policies. I do think that he has fallen prey to some of the um prey to some of the um prey to some of the um what all round to Leninist Marxist what all round to Leninist Marxist what all round to Leninist Marxist ideology where we're into oppressed and ideology where we're into oppressed and ideology where we're into oppressed and oppressor categories. And so, um we're oppressor categories. And so, um we're oppressor categories. And so, um we're leveraging that view to justify what I leveraging that view to justify what I leveraging that view to justify what I think is a long-term belief that if we think is a long-term belief that if we think is a long-term belief that if we get immigrants into the country, one get immigrants into the country, one get immigrants into the country, one will be able to stave off the will be able to stave off the will be able to stave off the demographic decline of Europe. Uh just demographic decline of Europe. Uh just demographic decline of Europe. Uh just totally blindness to the reality of totally blindness to the reality of totally blindness to the reality of people bring with them their culture. people bring with them their culture. people bring with them their culture. And so, it is not a European culture and And so, it is not a European culture and And so, it is not a European culture and therefore you can expect massive therefore you can expect massive therefore you can expect massive knock-on effects from importing a bunch knock-on effects from importing a bunch knock-on effects from importing a bunch of people that do not share your of people that do not share your of people that do not share your culture. culture. culture. Uh which we will certainly talk more Uh which we will certainly talk more Uh which we will certainly talk more about. But you can nest it all inside of about. But you can nest it all inside of about.

You've got the demographic challenges where there the demographic challenges where there the demographic challenges where there really is a demographic problem to be really is a demographic problem to be really is a demographic problem to be faced, and some people believe the right faced, and some people believe the right faced, and some people believe the right way to handle that is just import um a way to handle that is just import um a way to handle that is just import um a bunch of people with total blindness to bunch of people with total blindness to bunch of people with total blindness to what the um what the um what the um actual impact of cultural clashes are. actual impact of cultural clashes are. actual impact of cultural clashes are. Uh you've got the mafia in all of this. Uh you've got the mafia in all of this. Uh you've got the mafia in all of this. Are they just trying to make additional Are they just trying to make additional Are they just trying to make additional money by ferrying people over? We money by ferrying people over? We money by ferrying people over? We certainly saw that at the southern certainly saw that at the southern certainly saw that at the southern border in the US that it's a border in the US that it's a border in the US that it's a multi-billion dollar annual industry, multi-billion dollar annual industry, multi-billion dollar annual industry, and so if there's something similar and so if there's something similar and so if there's something similar going on there, that certainly wouldn't going on there, that certainly wouldn't going on there, that certainly wouldn't surprise me. You've got the US. You've surprise me. You've got the US. You've surprise me. You've got the US. You've got uh Israel that have beef with um got uh Israel that have beef with um got uh Israel that have beef with um Spain. So, if you guys don't know, Spain Spain. So, if you guys don't know, Spain Spain. So, if you guys don't know, Spain has officially recognized Palestine as a has officially recognized Palestine as a has officially recognized Palestine as a state. Obviously, Israel does not love state. Obviously, Israel does not love state. Obviously, Israel does not love that. Uh so, there's a lot of beef that. Uh so, there's a lot of beef that. Uh so, there's a lot of beef there. You've got relationships growing there. You've got relationships growing there. You've got relationships growing between Morocco and Israel as a part of between Morocco and Israel as a part of between Morocco and Israel as a part of the Abraham Accords. So, you've got um the Abraham Accords. So, you've got um the Abraham Accords. So, you've got um normalized relations between Morocco and normalized relations between Morocco and normalized relations between Morocco and Israel. You've got a narrative for Israel. You've got a narrative for Israel. You've got a narrative for Israel that can point at this and say, Israel that can point at this and say, Israel that can point at this and say, "Why do you guys have so much beef with "Why do you guys have so much beef with "Why do you guys have so much beef with us occupying quote-unquote occupying us occupying quote-unquote occupying us occupying quote-unquote occupying territory in Palestine when Spain is territory in Palestine when Spain is territory in Palestine when Spain is doing exactly the same thing in doing exactly the same thing in doing exactly the same thing in Morocco?" And so, why are you so mad at Morocco?" And so, why are you so mad at Morocco?" And so, why are you so mad at us? Look at these guys. And so, any sort us? Look at these guys. And so, any sort us? Look at these guys. And so, any sort of dust-up over there may take eyes off of dust-up over there may take eyes off of dust-up over there may take eyes off of Israel. And so, when you start and of Israel. And so, when you start and of Israel. And so, when you start and then obviously Trump is pissed at uh the then obviously Trump is pissed at uh the then obviously Trump is pissed at uh the prime minister in Spain, and you know prime minister in Spain, and you know prime minister in Spain, and you know that Trump can be petty as hell. So, that Trump can be petty as hell. So, that Trump can be petty as hell. So, would he want to see just Yeah, [ __ ] it. would he want to see just Yeah, [ __ ] it. would he want to see just Yeah, [ __ ] it. Disruption. Why not? Um so, when you lay Disruption. Why not? Um so, when you lay Disruption. Why not? Um so, when you lay out all of the possible things, it out all of the possible things, it out all of the possible things, it almost certainly isn't just one or the almost certainly isn't just one or the almost certainly isn't just one or the other. It's probably a mix of a whole other. It's probably a mix of a whole other. It's probably a mix of a whole lot of things. Now, are Israel and lot of things. Now, are Israel and lot of things. Now, are Israel and the US actually facilitating this? Are the US actually facilitating this? Are the US actually facilitating this? Are they goading it on? Are they merely like they goading it on? Are they merely like they goading it on? Are they merely like cheering because there's something cheering because there's something cheering because there's something that's happening that that like, "Yeah, that's happening that that like, "Yeah, that's happening that that like, "Yeah, [ __ ] 'em." [ __ ] 'em." [ __ ] 'em." I don't think anybody has the answer to I don't think anybody has the answer to I don't think anybody has the answer to that, and you're going to see a whole that, and you're going to see a whole that, and you're going to see a whole lot of conspiracies flying around this. lot of conspiracies flying around this. lot of conspiracies flying around this. What we do know is that there is a What we do know is that there is a What we do know is that there is a absolutely staggering amount of absolutely staggering amount of absolutely staggering amount of military-age men pouring into these military-age men pouring into these military-age men pouring into these cities in cities in cities in Spain. It is Spain, no matter what Spain. It is Spain, no matter what Spain. It is Spain, no matter what people say. They've had the territory people say. They've had the territory people say. They've had the territory since what, the 1500s? Mhm. So, this is since what, the 1500s? Mhm. So, this is since what, the 1500s? Mhm. So, this is not like something that they did 80 not like something that they did 80 not like something that they did 80 years ago, years ago, years ago, uh which is uh which is uh which is >> What's that? >> What's that? >> What's that? >> They didn't do it in the '50s and '40s. >> They didn't do it in the '50s and '40s. >> They didn't do it in the '50s and '40s. >> this this is not like the the thing >> this this is not like the the thing >> this this is not like the the thing going on in Israel, where if you want to going on in Israel, where if you want to going on in Israel, where if you want to have beef with that, like we can sit and have beef with that, like we can sit and have beef with that, like we can sit and walk through the timeline of all of that walk through the timeline of all of that walk through the timeline of all of that stuff. This is a totally different stuff. This is a totally different stuff. This is a totally different ballgame, uh and anybody, if you're if ballgame, uh and anybody, if you're if ballgame, uh and anybody, if you're if you can hear my voice right now, and you can hear my voice right now, and you can hear my voice right now, and you're taking the stance that this is you're taking the stance that this is you're taking the stance that this is occupied territory, uh then I will say, occupied territory, uh then I will say, occupied territory, uh then I will say, "Is Constantinople occupied territory in "Is Constantinople occupied territory in "Is Constantinople occupied territory in Turkey, and is that going to be handed Turkey, and is that going to be handed Turkey, and is that going to be handed back to the Christians uh that had that back to the Christians uh that had that back to the Christians uh that had that for God knows how long?" Cuz um that for God knows how long?" Cuz um that for God knows how long?" Cuz um that became Muslim in whatever, the 14 or became Muslim in whatever, the 14 or became Muslim in whatever, the 14 or 1500s. So, a very similar kind of thing. 1500s. So, a very similar kind of thing. 1500s. So, a very similar kind of thing. I don't see anybody saying that I don't see anybody saying that I don't see anybody saying that Constantinople needs to be handed back, Constantinople needs to be handed back, Constantinople needs to be handed back, so so so uh that would be a wild take, in my uh that would be a wild take, in my uh that would be a wild take, in my opinion. Um but, yes. It This is going opinion. Um but, yes. It This is going opinion. Um but, yes. It This is going to become another flash point of this to become another flash point of this to become another flash point of this debate of uh what What does it mean to debate of uh what What does it mean to debate of uh what What does it mean to have sovereign territory, and who has a have sovereign territory, and who has a have sovereign territory, and who has a right to what land? It Yeah, man, this right to what land? It Yeah, man, this right to what land? It Yeah, man, this is a crazy time that we are all living is a crazy time that we are all living is a crazy time that we are all living in. I hope you guys have been looking at in. I hope you guys have been looking at in. I hope you guys have been looking at your screens as um your screens as um your screens as um Drew has been walking through a lot of Drew has been walking through a lot of Drew has been walking through a lot of the different videos and things. Uh now, the different videos and things. Uh now, the different videos and things. Uh now, what Drew has up on the screen is what Drew has up on the screen is what Drew has up on the screen is basically is this an opportunity to basically is this an opportunity to basically is this an opportunity to create a new choke point, where if create a new choke point, where if create a new choke point, where if Israel can normalize relations far Israel can normalize relations far Israel can normalize relations far enough with the Moroccans, and get them enough with the Moroccans, and get them enough with the Moroccans, and get them to be I mean, this is the part that I to be I mean, this is the part that I to be I mean, this is the part that I don't think people are being honest don't think people are being honest don't think people are being honest about, that ultimately for Israel, for about, that ultimately for Israel, for about, that ultimately for Israel, for this to be a good move for Israel, they this to be a good move for Israel, they this to be a good move for Israel, they would have to believe that they can have would have to believe that they can have would have to believe that they can have such dramatic influence over the such dramatic influence over the such dramatic influence over the Moroccans that they can effectively Moroccans that they can effectively Moroccans that they can effectively control the Strait of Gibraltar. That to control the Strait of Gibraltar. That to control the Strait of Gibraltar. That to me seems a bridge way too far. Morocco, me seems a bridge way too far. Morocco, me seems a bridge way too far. Morocco, as far as I know, is a majority Muslim as far as I know, is a majority Muslim as far as I know, is a majority Muslim country. So, the odds that those two are country. So, the odds that those two are country. So, the odds that those two are going to be besties is effectively zero going to be besties is effectively zero going to be besties is effectively zero in my estimation. But hey, it's early in my estimation. But hey, it's early in my estimation. But hey, it's early days, maybe I can be convinced. But days, maybe I can be convinced. But days, maybe I can be convinced. But again, if you're looking at your screen, again, if you're looking at your screen, again, if you're looking at your screen, you will see that one of the ways you you will see that one of the ways you you will see that one of the ways you get out of the get out of the get out of the not one of the ways, the way that you not one of the ways, the way that you not one of the ways, the way that you get out of the Mediterranean is through get out of the Mediterranean is through get out of the Mediterranean is through the Strait of Gibraltar. So, if you have the Strait of Gibraltar. So, if you have the Strait of Gibraltar. So, if you have um Israeli control over that, then um Israeli control over that, then um Israeli control over that, then Israel can continue to grow its Israel can continue to grow its Israel can continue to grow its influence as the um influence as the um influence as the um keeper of Western interests in the keeper of Western interests in the keeper of Western interests in the Middle East as it relates to the Middle East as it relates to the Middle East as it relates to the transportation of oil. Now, Israel's transportation of oil. Now, Israel's transportation of oil. Now, Israel's saying that they want to see pipelines saying that they want to see pipelines saying that they want to see pipelines go through Israel. So, is there a very go through Israel. So, is there a very go through Israel. So, is there a very simple chain of logic that you could simple chain of logic that you could simple chain of logic that you could follow that says, this is how Israel follow that says, this is how Israel follow that says, this is how Israel becomes that truly unsinkable um carrier becomes that truly unsinkable um carrier becomes that truly unsinkable um carrier in the Middle East to help with oil? in the Middle East to help with oil? in the Middle East to help with oil? Sure, but I don't see how people go, oh, Sure, but I don't see how people go, oh, Sure, but I don't see how people go, oh, uh Morocco's going to be a vassal state uh Morocco's going to be a vassal state uh Morocco's going to be a vassal state of Israel. That that just seems crazy to of Israel. That that just seems crazy to of Israel. That that just seems crazy to me. Now, I don't know if they're me. Now, I don't know if they're me. Now, I don't know if they're majority Sunni or majority Sunni or majority Sunni or uh majority Shiite, so I don't know if uh majority Shiite, so I don't know if uh majority Shiite, so I don't know if if they were likely to side are they if they were likely to side are they if they were likely to side are they going to side with the UAE? Are they going to side with the UAE? Are they going to side with the UAE? Are they going to side with Saudi Arabia? Could going to side with Saudi Arabia? Could going to side with Saudi Arabia? Could it be something like that, which would it be something like that, which would it be something like that, which would be far more believable to me than be far more believable to me than be far more believable to me than Israel? And so, as Israel Israel? And so, as Israel Israel? And so, as Israel um um um comes to normalize relationships through comes to normalize relationships through comes to normalize relationships through the Abraham Accords and just honestly the Abraham Accords and just honestly the Abraham Accords and just honestly through a vision of the world that is through a vision of the world that is through a vision of the world that is about economics, uh about economics, uh about economics, uh could that play out? Where you've got could that play out? Where you've got could that play out? Where you've got the UAE, the UAE, the UAE, you've got Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain you've got Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain you've got Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain all joining forces with Morocco and all joining forces with Morocco and all joining forces with Morocco and saying, "Hey, we've got to isolate Iran saying, "Hey, we've got to isolate Iran saying, "Hey, we've got to isolate Iran and now make sure that they can't create and now make sure that they can't create and now make sure that they can't create a choke point, and we need to be able to a choke point, and we need to be able to a choke point, and we need to be able to get this oil all the way out, and so get this oil all the way out, and so get this oil all the way out, and so everybody feels good about continuing to everybody feels good about continuing to everybody feels good about continuing to buy oil from the Middle East because the buy oil from the Middle East because the buy oil from the Middle East because the idea of people finding ways around it, idea of people finding ways around it, idea of people finding ways around it, like there are new shipping routes that like there are new shipping routes that like there are new shipping routes that China's doing this isn't oil, but they China's doing this isn't oil, but they China's doing this isn't oil, but they have new shipping routes going up and have new shipping routes going up and have new shipping routes going up and around the Arctic, and so as the world around the Arctic, and so as the world around the Arctic, and so as the world goes, we just have to work around the goes, we just have to work around the goes, we just have to work around the Middle East, we have to work around this Middle East, we have to work around this Middle East, we have to work around this conflict rather than dealing with it conflict rather than dealing with it conflict rather than dealing with it directly, there's going to be an directly, there's going to be an directly, there's going to be an upheaval of power just because dynamics upheaval of power just because dynamics upheaval of power just because dynamics change, and if some meaningful change, and if some meaningful change, and if some meaningful percentage of that oil, I doubt that it percentage of that oil, I doubt that it percentage of that oil, I doubt that it ever goes to zero, but if some ever goes to zero, but if some ever goes to zero, but if some meaningful percentage of the oil that's meaningful percentage of the oil that's meaningful percentage of the oil that's going through the traditional routes in going through the traditional routes in going through the traditional routes in the Middle East just moves to the US, or the Middle East just moves to the US, or the Middle East just moves to the US, or if the [ __ ] war between Russia and if the [ __ ] war between Russia and if the [ __ ] war between Russia and Ukraine ever ends, and Russia gets back Ukraine ever ends, and Russia gets back Ukraine ever ends, and Russia gets back on the international board in terms of on the international board in terms of on the international board in terms of exporting oil, does the world just start exporting oil, does the world just start exporting oil, does the world just start moving away from that? That's certainly moving away from that? That's certainly moving away from that? That's certainly all something I think that they would be all something I think that they would be all something I think that they would be extremely interested in solving, so I extremely interested in solving, so I extremely interested in solving, so I could see that a could see that a could see that a unity of the Muslim nations that are unity of the Muslim nations that are unity of the Muslim nations that are normalized with Israel wanting to have normalized with Israel wanting to have normalized with Israel wanting to have stable control because right now there's stable control because right now there's stable control because right now there's no um no um no um problem with people passing the Strait problem with people passing the Strait problem with people passing the Strait of Gibraltar. So right now that isn't of Gibraltar. So right now that isn't of Gibraltar. So right now that isn't something that I think anybody's worried something that I think anybody's worried something that I think anybody's worried about. What people are worried about is about. What people are worried about is about. What people are worried about is Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, Red Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, Red Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, Red Sea obviously increasing in problem, Sea obviously increasing in problem, Sea obviously increasing in problem, Strait of Hormuz has been a problem now Strait of Hormuz has been a problem now Strait of Hormuz has been a problem now for 5 months. So for 5 months. So for 5 months. So that one to me feels like a bit of a that one to me feels like a bit of a that one to me feels like a bit of a stretch. This feels much more like stretch. This feels much more like stretch. This feels much more like a territorial dispute, a immigration a territorial dispute, a immigration a territorial dispute, a immigration question, all coming off the back of question, all coming off the back of question, all coming off the back of what I consider to be horrific what I consider to be horrific what I consider to be horrific immigration policy on behalf of Europe immigration policy on behalf of Europe immigration policy on behalf of Europe at large, but very specifically Spain. at large, but very specifically Spain. at large, but very specifically Spain. So that's my early days read. Remember, So that's my early days read. Remember, So that's my early days read. Remember, if you're trying to mentally map me, if you're trying to mentally map me, if you're trying to mentally map me, I don't have any friction about being I don't have any friction about being I don't have any friction about being wrong. I'm simply trying to identify wrong. I'm simply trying to identify wrong. I'm simply trying to identify what is actually true. Uh so, if I get what is actually true. Uh so, if I get what is actually true. Uh so, if I get information that says that my current information that says that my current information that says that my current read that this is an immigration problem read that this is an immigration problem read that this is an immigration problem ends up being um incorrect and there's ends up being um incorrect and there's ends up being um incorrect and there's evidence in the opposite direction, I evidence in the opposite direction, I evidence in the opposite direction, I will immediately adjust my thinking. will immediately adjust my thinking. will immediately adjust my thinking. Um but that's where I am at right now. Um but that's where I am at right now. Um but that's where I am at right now. >> Uh here's a string of cause and effect >> Uh here's a string of cause and effect >> Uh here's a string of cause and effect and let me know where I break it, right? and let me know where I break it, right? and let me know where I break it, right? So, So, So, Trump and Bibi meet. Trump is reportedly Trump and Bibi meet. Trump is reportedly Trump and Bibi meet. Trump is reportedly pissed off in the meeting. Not at Bibi, pissed off in the meeting. Not at Bibi, pissed off in the meeting. Not at Bibi, but just that but just that but just that we haven't won the Iranian war. It was we haven't won the Iranian war. It was we haven't won the Iranian war. It was supposed to be a 2-week war and now it's supposed to be a 2-week war and now it's supposed to be a 2-week war and now it's going into 5 months. going into 5 months. going into 5 months. He tries to figure out what else we can He tries to figure out what else we can He tries to figure out what else we can do. do. do. We are locked down with the Strait of We are locked down with the Strait of We are locked down with the Strait of Hormuz. We need to figure out a way to Hormuz. We need to figure out a way to Hormuz. We need to figure out a way to re-normalize getting the oil and getting re-normalize getting the oil and getting re-normalize getting the oil and getting things moved through the region. things moved through the region. things moved through the region. Israel's like, "I can help you get Israel's like, "I can help you get Israel's like, "I can help you get things moved through the region. We just things moved through the region. We just things moved through the region. We just need to normalize and route things need to normalize and route things need to normalize and route things through Israel. Okay, cool. How do we do through Israel. Okay, cool. How do we do through Israel. Okay, cool. How do we do it if it's we're routing through it if it's we're routing through it if it's we're routing through Israel?" Well, we can just go right out Israel?" Well, we can just go right out Israel?" Well, we can just go right out through the state of the Strait of through the state of the Strait of through the state of the Strait of Gibraltar. Okay, well, we have to figure Gibraltar. Okay, well, we have to figure Gibraltar. Okay, well, we have to figure out how we can get Spain on board. out how we can get Spain on board. out how we can get Spain on board. Spain's not really messing with this. Spain's not really messing with this. Spain's not really messing with this. All right, well, we just did military All right, well, we just did military All right, well, we just did military exercise with Morocco. We have like exercise with Morocco. We have like exercise with Morocco. We have like normalized relations with Morocco. We normalized relations with Morocco. We normalized relations with Morocco. We just get some specific choke points. I'm just get some specific choke points. I'm just get some specific choke points. I'm using choke points as a specific term using choke points as a specific term using choke points as a specific term cuz both of these uh cuz both of these uh cuz both of these uh um both of these cities that they were um both of these cities that they were um both of these cities that they were taken, they weren't on the European taken, they weren't on the European taken, they weren't on the European continent. People weren't swimming continent. People weren't swimming continent. People weren't swimming across the Atlantic. They were on the across the Atlantic. They were on the across the Atlantic. They were on the North African coast. If we control North African coast. If we control North African coast. If we control those, we are now it's us versus Spain. those, we are now it's us versus Spain. those, we are now it's us versus Spain. Spain doesn't want that smoke. They're Spain doesn't want that smoke. They're Spain doesn't want that smoke. They're not going to deploy their army and they not going to deploy their army and they not going to deploy their army and they would allow more free movement. would allow more free movement. would allow more free movement. I'll even go as far as to say if we can I'll even go as far as to say if we can I'll even go as far as to say if we can launch if we can make a military launch if we can make a military launch if we can make a military presence in um these two um territories presence in um these two um territories presence in um these two um territories as well, that's another way we can get as well, that's another way we can get as well, that's another way we can get closer to the Iranian region. We can closer to the Iranian region. We can closer to the Iranian region. We can bring munitions in. We can reroute bring munitions in. We can reroute bring munitions in. We can reroute things from the UK. So, that's where I'm things from the UK. So, that's where I'm things from the UK. So, that's where I'm starting to say like, "Okay, I can tilt starting to say like, "Okay, I can tilt starting to say like, "Okay, I can tilt my head and and blink." Morocco gets my head and and blink." Morocco gets my head and and blink." Morocco gets paid. All the UAE um countries love uh paid. All the UAE um countries love uh paid. All the UAE um countries love uh oil money. Morocco finally gets on the oil money. Morocco finally gets on the oil money. Morocco finally gets on the oil money train. Israel gets paid. They oil money train. Israel gets paid. They oil money train. Israel gets paid. They get more power in the region and they get more power in the region and they get more power in the region and they they to become the centerfold just like they to become the centerfold just like they to become the centerfold just like they're the centerfold of what I would they're the centerfold of what I would they're the centerfold of what I would call stability. Now they can then be the call stability. Now they can then be the call stability. Now they can then be the center fold of like economics. US gets a center fold of like economics. US gets a center fold of like economics. US gets a win because now we have another place win because now we have another place win because now we have another place that we can launch ships from. We have that we can launch ships from. We have that we can launch ships from. We have another place that we can drop munitions another place that we can drop munitions another place that we can drop munitions off, and we can now retool and restock, off, and we can now retool and restock, off, and we can now retool and restock, and we can even ice out the Iranians. So and we can even ice out the Iranians. So and we can even ice out the Iranians. So we say, "You guys can have this we say, "You guys can have this we say, "You guys can have this straight. We'll just blow everything up straight. We'll just blow everything up straight. We'll just blow everything up in this straight, full stop." So now we in this straight, full stop." So now we in this straight, full stop." So now we cut you guys off, and then we just have cut you guys off, and then we just have cut you guys off, and then we just have everything essential come through this everything essential come through this everything essential come through this side. side. side. >> Yeah, the way I see it is you have an >> Yeah, the way I see it is you have an >> Yeah, the way I see it is you have an internal chain of logic that is internal chain of logic that is internal chain of logic that is consistent. It makes some leaps that I consistent. It makes some leaps that I consistent. It makes some leaps that I would say are both historically accurate would say are both historically accurate would say are both historically accurate and have historically proven to be and have historically proven to be and have historically proven to be really stupid. We do them, but they really stupid. We do them, but they really stupid. We do them, but they prove to be historically stupid. So, prove to be historically stupid. So, prove to be historically stupid. So, here's what you would have to believe here's what you would have to believe here's what you would have to believe for that to end up being a good idea. for that to end up being a good idea. for that to end up being a good idea. Not that it isn't the idea, but for that Not that it isn't the idea, but for that Not that it isn't the idea, but for that to be a good idea, to be a good idea, to be a good idea, um you're using a destabilization tactic um you're using a destabilization tactic um you're using a destabilization tactic to destabilize to destabilize to destabilize um Spain to put them back in their um Spain to put them back in their um Spain to put them back in their place, to let them know you [ __ ] with place, to let them know you [ __ ] with place, to let them know you [ __ ] with the US, you [ __ ] with Israel, and you the US, you [ __ ] with Israel, and you the US, you [ __ ] with Israel, and you get the horns. And so, you guys better get the horns. And so, you guys better get the horns. And so, you guys better um get back in line. And so, now that um get back in line. And so, now that um get back in line. And so, now that instability has historically led to instability has historically led to instability has historically led to problems. And we always think, "Oh, problems. And we always think, "Oh, problems. And we always think, "Oh, we're going to go in, we're going to we're going to go in, we're going to we're going to go in, we're going to destabilize this region, and something destabilize this region, and something destabilize this region, and something beautiful is going to come out the other beautiful is going to come out the other beautiful is going to come out the other side." This is uh both a tactic of the side." This is uh both a tactic of the side." This is uh both a tactic of the CIA CIA CIA um and a tactic of the left as um turned um and a tactic of the left as um turned um and a tactic of the left as um turned into a literal playbook by Lenin. So, into a literal playbook by Lenin. So, into a literal playbook by Lenin. So, Lenin literally writes a document Lenin literally writes a document Lenin literally writes a document explaining exactly how you use this explaining exactly how you use this explaining exactly how you use this divide and conquer destabilization divide and conquer destabilization divide and conquer destabilization strategy. It ends up spreading all over strategy. It ends up spreading all over strategy. It ends up spreading all over the place, including China. the place, including China. the place, including China. Uh and now we're seeing it Uh and now we're seeing it Uh and now we're seeing it if your read is correct, we're seeing if your read is correct, we're seeing if your read is correct, we're seeing that here in this situation. Um just as that here in this situation. Um just as that here in this situation. Um just as it led to massive death and turmoil in it led to massive death and turmoil in it led to massive death and turmoil in Russia, massive death and turmoil in Russia, massive death and turmoil in Russia, massive death and turmoil in China, China, China, uh and we're seeing now the the fruits uh and we're seeing now the the fruits uh and we're seeing now the the fruits of that initiative in Iran, massive of that initiative in Iran, massive of that initiative in Iran, massive death death death uh in Iran. So, now it's like, really? uh in Iran. So, now it's like, really? uh in Iran. So, now it's like, really? Like, I'm not saying that it's outside Like, I'm not saying that it's outside Like, I'm not saying that it's outside of the realm of plausibility. I am of the realm of plausibility. I am of the realm of plausibility. I am saying that it's If that is what they're saying that it's If that is what they're saying that it's If that is what they're doing, it's likely to be stupid. Partly doing, it's likely to be stupid. Partly doing, it's likely to be stupid. Partly because right now people aren't paying because right now people aren't paying because right now people aren't paying money to get through choke points until money to get through choke points until money to get through choke points until we started doing that in Iran. So, now we started doing that in Iran. So, now we started doing that in Iran. So, now you're introducing what? A new choke you're introducing what? A new choke you're introducing what? A new choke point? Like, to get Morocco in on the point? Like, to get Morocco in on the point? Like, to get Morocco in on the oil money? Like, what are they doing? oil money? Like, what are they doing? oil money? Like, what are they doing? You're paying for protection? You're You're paying for protection? You're You're paying for protection? You're paying for safe passage? Like, what are paying for safe passage? Like, what are paying for safe passage? Like, what are they getting paid for exactly? So, they getting paid for exactly? So, they getting paid for exactly? So, that's where I'm like, that's where I'm like, that's where I'm like, that seems very ill-advised. Again, not that seems very ill-advised. Again, not that seems very ill-advised. Again, not that it isn't true and we'll find out in that it isn't true and we'll find out in that it isn't true and we'll find out in the fullness of time if that's really the fullness of time if that's really the fullness of time if that's really what's going on because your string of what's going on because your string of what's going on because your string of logic if the base assumptions all end up logic if the base assumptions all end up logic if the base assumptions all end up being true, being true, being true, sure, like that could be the attempt, sure, like that could be the attempt, sure, like that could be the attempt, but it would just be very strange. Even but it would just be very strange. Even but it would just be very strange. Even getting like, when you start talking getting like, when you start talking getting like, when you start talking about running the pipelines through the about running the pipelines through the about running the pipelines through the Middle East to get around the Strait of Middle East to get around the Strait of Middle East to get around the Strait of Hormuz, ending up in Israel, which Hormuz, ending up in Israel, which Hormuz, ending up in Israel, which Netanyahu has talked about many times, Netanyahu has talked about many times, Netanyahu has talked about many times, so that is for sure part of what he so that is for sure part of what he so that is for sure part of what he wants to see happen. wants to see happen. wants to see happen. But, I'm just like, But, I'm just like, But, I'm just like, like, like, like, why all the way to Israel? Like, that's why all the way to Israel? Like, that's why all the way to Israel? Like, that's the part that I don't understand. So, the part that I don't understand. So, the part that I don't understand. So, unless Israel is saying, "Listen, we're unless Israel is saying, "Listen, we're unless Israel is saying, "Listen, we're the best defended and so you want to the best defended and so you want to the best defended and so you want to send it to us as the port of call so send it to us as the port of call so send it to us as the port of call so that we can protect all these ships and that we can protect all these ships and that we can protect all these ships and get them out safely." They would have to get them out safely." They would have to get them out safely." They would have to be making a military play. Otherwise, if be making a military play. Otherwise, if be making a military play. Otherwise, if I'm I'm I'm one of the other countries, one of the other countries, one of the other countries, I'm just going to run it There's already I'm just going to run it There's already I'm just going to run it There's already a Saudi pipeline that bypasses the a Saudi pipeline that bypasses the a Saudi pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. So, the only thing Strait of Hormuz. So, the only thing Strait of Hormuz. So, the only thing there is Iran can strike the pipeline, there is Iran can strike the pipeline, there is Iran can strike the pipeline, but Iran would be able to strike the but Iran would be able to strike the but Iran would be able to strike the pipeline in Israel. So, it's like, pipeline in Israel. So, it's like, pipeline in Israel. So, it's like, that's the part where I'm like, that's the part where I'm like, that's the part where I'm like, everybody talking about an overland everybody talking about an overland everybody talking about an overland pipeline, if I'm Iran, I'm like, "Yeah, pipeline, if I'm Iran, I'm like, "Yeah, pipeline, if I'm Iran, I'm like, "Yeah, [ __ ] just go for it. I'm going to [ __ ] just go for it. I'm going to [ __ ] just go for it. I'm going to [ __ ] hit that literally once a week [ __ ] hit that literally once a week [ __ ] hit that literally once a week and you guys are going to be forever and you guys are going to be forever and you guys are going to be forever having to try to repair it. Eventually, having to try to repair it. Eventually, having to try to repair it. Eventually, you're going to realize you have to bury you're going to realize you have to bury you're going to realize you have to bury it, you know, whatever 40 m underground. it, you know, whatever 40 m underground. it, you know, whatever 40 m underground. And now this becomes an extraordinarily And now this becomes an extraordinarily And now this becomes an extraordinarily expensive and time-consuming effort to expensive and time-consuming effort to expensive and time-consuming effort to get this out. So, every time I look at get this out. So, every time I look at get this out. So, every time I look at that solution, I'm just like, I mean, that solution, I'm just like, I mean, that solution, I'm just like, I mean, Jesus. I guess it's better than standing Jesus. I guess it's better than standing Jesus. I guess it's better than standing still, but if if you're Iran and you've still, but if if you're Iran and you've still, but if if you're Iran and you've already shown that you're willing to already shown that you're willing to already shown that you're willing to strike infrastructure, then you just strike infrastructure, then you just strike infrastructure, then you just strike the pipeline. So, that one seems strike the pipeline. So, that one seems strike the pipeline. So, that one seems like a bit far-fetched. It seems far like a bit far-fetched. It seems far like a bit far-fetched. It seems far more likely that the playbook that more likely that the playbook that more likely that the playbook that they're going to run is "We have to get they're going to run is "We have to get they're going to run is "We have to get Iran to come to heel." And so, um Iran to come to heel." And so, um Iran to come to heel." And so, um the only way I can mentally map, okay, the only way I can mentally map, okay, the only way I can mentally map, okay, this really is the US, this really is this really is the US, this really is this really is the US, this really is Israel, what would need to be true? That Israel, what would need to be true? That Israel, what would need to be true? That they're doing it as somewhat of an they're doing it as somewhat of an they're doing it as somewhat of an afterthought, that their full attention afterthought, that their full attention afterthought, that their full attention isn't on it, that somebody came to Trump isn't on it, that somebody came to Trump isn't on it, that somebody came to Trump was like, "Hey, uh these guys want to was like, "Hey, uh these guys want to was like, "Hey, uh these guys want to bust a bunch of people in. It'll cause bust a bunch of people in. It'll cause bust a bunch of people in. It'll cause destabilization. destabilization. destabilization. Uh it'll send a signal to um Spain to Uh it'll send a signal to um Spain to Uh it'll send a signal to um Spain to stop [ __ ] around. You'll be able to stop [ __ ] around. You'll be able to stop [ __ ] around. You'll be able to get them back in pocket." Yeah, yeah, get them back in pocket." Yeah, yeah, get them back in pocket." Yeah, yeah, yeah, go for it. Try it. Let's see what yeah, go for it. Try it. Let's see what yeah, go for it. Try it. Let's see what happens. Like, not like, "Oh, yeah, this happens. Like, not like, "Oh, yeah, this happens. Like, not like, "Oh, yeah, this is like something that we have high is like something that we have high is like something that we have high degree of certainty this is going to degree of certainty this is going to degree of certainty this is going to work well in our favor." work well in our favor." work well in our favor." >> I I I'm with you. I definitely think >> I I I'm with you. I definitely think >> I I I'm with you. I definitely think this is plan F. I don't think this is this is plan F. I don't think this is this is plan F. I don't think this is Yeah, this is one they're going to do. Yeah, this is one they're going to do. Yeah, this is one they're going to do. >> that I could see. So, it's like, I'm >> that I could see. So, it's like, I'm >> that I could see. So, it's like, I'm going to guess that it's like all of the going to guess that it's like all of the going to guess that it's like all of the above. It is a bunch of things where above. It is a bunch of things where above. It is a bunch of things where it's like, the US and Israel are like, it's like, the US and Israel are like, it's like, the US and Israel are like, "Yeah, sure, why not?" Israel loves "Yeah, sure, why not?" Israel loves "Yeah, sure, why not?" Israel loves having a story of somebody else that's having a story of somebody else that's having a story of somebody else that's in their same position that will be in their same position that will be in their same position that will be forced to defend why they have it their forced to defend why they have it their forced to defend why they have it their way. So, now it's like, Israel's trying way. So, now it's like, Israel's trying way. So, now it's like, Israel's trying to deflect, the US Trump gets to punish to deflect, the US Trump gets to punish to deflect, the US Trump gets to punish somebody who didn't do what he told them somebody who didn't do what he told them somebody who didn't do what he told them to do, to do, to do, uh but ultimately all you get is uh but ultimately all you get is uh but ultimately all you get is destabilization. destabilization. destabilization. And dude, that destabilization is like And dude, that destabilization is like And dude, that destabilization is like the word for the next 10 years. Like, as the word for the next 10 years. Like, as the word for the next 10 years. Like, as the global order changes, the global order changes, the global order changes, everybody's like, "Now's the time to everybody's like, "Now's the time to everybody's like, "Now's the time to make our play." The US is [ __ ] around make our play." The US is [ __ ] around make our play." The US is [ __ ] around in uh the Middle East, China is going to in uh the Middle East, China is going to in uh the Middle East, China is going to make a move on Taiwan, the US is going make a move on Taiwan, the US is going make a move on Taiwan, the US is going to have split focus, you've got massive to have split focus, you've got massive to have split focus, you've got massive instability all across Europe. Say what instability all across Europe. Say what instability all across Europe. Say what you will, they have massive instability. you will, they have massive instability. you will, they have massive instability. Just look at what's going on with the Just look at what's going on with the Just look at what's going on with the Nordic countries where everybody's like, Nordic countries where everybody's like, Nordic countries where everybody's like, "Yo, they've shown that socialism can "Yo, they've shown that socialism can "Yo, they've shown that socialism can work." [ __ ] they're trying to get work." [ __ ] they're trying to get work." [ __ ] they're trying to get immigrants out now fast because they immigrants out now fast because they immigrants out now fast because they realize, "Holy [ __ ] like we can't pay realize, "Holy [ __ ] like we can't pay realize, "Holy [ __ ] like we can't pay for this." So, you're going to have like for this." So, you're going to have like for this." So, you're going to have like insane instability. Look at the UK, insane instability. Look at the UK, insane instability. Look at the UK, birth rates are real, man. And so, birth rates are real, man. And so, birth rates are real, man. And so, you're going to get a collision of you're going to get a collision of you're going to get a collision of cultures all across Europe. Europe is cultures all across Europe. Europe is cultures all across Europe. Europe is already in economic trouble. They have already in economic trouble. They have already in economic trouble. They have been sinking for a very long time been sinking for a very long time been sinking for a very long time economically. It is absolutely perilous economically. It is absolutely perilous economically. It is absolutely perilous for them what's happening economically. for them what's happening economically. for them what's happening economically. Now, you're going to bear the fruits of Now, you're going to bear the fruits of Now, you're going to bear the fruits of conquering via the womb, which is a conquering via the womb, which is a conquering via the womb, which is a stated objective stated objective stated objective of radical Islamists. And so, it's just, of radical Islamists. And so, it's just, of radical Islamists. And so, it's just, man, that that is going to be completely man, that that is going to be completely man, that that is going to be completely destabilized. destabilized. destabilized. You've got what what's going to happen You've got what what's going to happen You've got what what's going to happen between the US and China? What's going between the US and China? What's going between the US and China? What's going to happen to the dollar? So, all of to happen to the dollar? So, all of to happen to the dollar? So, all of that's in play. You've got Scott Bessent that's in play. You've got Scott Bessent that's in play. You've got Scott Bessent talking about a Bretton Woods 2.0, which talking about a Bretton Woods 2.0, which talking about a Bretton Woods 2.0, which there's so much crazy [ __ ] going on. there's so much crazy [ __ ] going on. there's so much crazy [ __ ] going on.

And that's Dude, that is so crazy in terms of the the that is so crazy in terms of the the that is so crazy in terms of the the the amount of the amount of the amount of change. I'll I'll put it in completely change. I'll I'll put it in completely change. I'll I'll put it in completely neutral terms. Just the amount of change neutral terms.

He's obviously going to want something He's obviously going to want something He's obviously going to want something that benefits the US. Anyway, talking that benefits the US. Anyway, talking that benefits the US. Anyway, talking about destabilization. So, you've you've about destabilization. So, you've you've about destabilization. So, you've you've got a world of change everywhere. Things got a world of change everywhere. Things got a world of change everywhere. Things are just moving. And so, if you've got a are just moving.

So, even if we just isolate to the thing that is completely undisputed thing that is completely undisputed thing that is completely undisputed is you have this massive flood of is you have this massive flood of is you have this massive flood of military-age men. So, this is a phrase military-age men. So, this is a phrase military-age men. So, this is a phrase you're going to hear over and over and you're going to hear over and over and you're going to hear over and over and over. Military-age men. Now, the reason over. Military-age men. Now, the reason over. Military-age men. Now, the reason that people bring that up is really that people bring that up is really that people bring that up is really twofold. One, if people are really twofold. One, if people are really twofold. One, if people are really escaping hardship, you would expect to escaping hardship, you would expect to escaping hardship, you would expect to see a ton of women also coming over see a ton of women also coming over see a ton of women also coming over because they're trying to get to a because they're trying to get to a because they're trying to get to a better life. better life. better life. When you see only young men, then this When you see only young men, then this When you see only young men, then this is usually somebody else saying, "Hey, is usually somebody else saying, "Hey, is usually somebody else saying, "Hey, it'd be a good idea for you guys to go it'd be a good idea for you guys to go it'd be a good idea for you guys to go do this." Now, this is where you get do this." Now, this is where you get do this." Now, this is where you get into into into very dangerous territory, and getting very dangerous territory, and getting very dangerous territory, and getting out of your skis can be very risky. But, out of your skis can be very risky. But, out of your skis can be very risky. But, if you um one potential read of this is if you um one potential read of this is if you um one potential read of this is that um given that um that um given that um that um given that um extremist uh members of Islam have extremist uh members of Islam have extremist uh members of Islam have talked very openly about you can take talked very openly about you can take talked very openly about you can take over by the sword, you can take over by over by the sword, you can take over by over by the sword, you can take over by immigration, or you can take over via immigration, or you can take over via immigration, or you can take over via the womb, or I mean, honestly, all the womb, or I mean, honestly, all the womb, or I mean, honestly, all three. This one becomes a takeover by three. This one becomes a takeover by three. This one becomes a takeover by immigration. So, if you know that people immigration. So, if you know that people immigration. So, if you know that people go into a territory, and of course, all go into a territory, and of course, all go into a territory, and of course, all of them, everybody all throughout human of them, everybody all throughout human of them, everybody all throughout human history, it does not matter. This is not history, it does not matter. This is not history, it does not matter. This is not anything even remotely unique to um anything even remotely unique to um anything even remotely unique to um Islamist extremists. This is just what Islamist extremists. This is just what Islamist extremists. This is just what people do is you try to get enough people do is you try to get enough people do is you try to get enough people with your value system to go into people with your value system to go into people with your value system to go into an area so that you can take it over. Um an area so that you can take it over. Um an area so that you can take it over. Um and so, yeah, like that does not and so, yeah, like that does not and so, yeah, like that does not surprise me at all, and that would surprise me at all, and that would surprise me at all, and that would certainly explain if you have somebody certainly explain if you have somebody certainly explain if you have somebody in the background, a government, uh in the background, a government, uh in the background, a government, uh a religious sect, whatever, um you would a religious sect, whatever, um you would a religious sect, whatever, um you would expect them to expect them to expect them to loosely organize people and say, "Hey, loosely organize people and say, "Hey, loosely organize people and say, "Hey, go do this." Now, go do this." Now, go do this." Now, there needs to be an incentive that there needs to be an incentive that there needs to be an incentive that people believe in to get them to do it. people believe in to get them to do it. people believe in to get them to do it. As Japan has proven, you can try to get As Japan has proven, you can try to get As Japan has proven, you can try to get people to do something, but if they people to do something, but if they people to do something, but if they don't believe it's in their own best don't believe it's in their own best don't believe it's in their own best interest, they're not going to do it. interest, they're not going to do it. interest, they're not going to do it. And this is why I always think it's And this is why I always think it's And this is why I always think it's deranging when people say, "Well, uh deranging when people say, "Well, uh deranging when people say, "Well, uh Israel just made this possible for them Israel just made this possible for them Israel just made this possible for them to do it and they wanted them to do it. to do it and they wanted them to do it. to do it and they wanted them to do it. Take the Take the Take the Netanyahu admitting that he was funding Netanyahu admitting that he was funding Netanyahu admitting that he was funding Hamas. Okay, sure and I get why Hamas. Okay, sure and I get why Hamas. Okay, sure and I get why everybody is mortified by that, but at everybody is mortified by that, but at everybody is mortified by that, but at the same time if the people in Palestine the same time if the people in Palestine the same time if the people in Palestine didn't want Hamas, didn't believe in the didn't want Hamas, didn't believe in the didn't want Hamas, didn't believe in the things that they were fighting for, then things that they were fighting for, then things that they were fighting for, then it wouldn't take root, it wouldn't be it wouldn't take root, it wouldn't be it wouldn't take root, it wouldn't be popular, it wouldn't be able to grow in popular, it wouldn't be able to grow in popular, it wouldn't be able to grow in the way that it did. So, you've got to the way that it did. So, you've got to the way that it did. So, you've got to have people that actually believe those have people that actually believe those have people that actually believe those things that when you give them the things that when you give them the things that when you give them the opportunity to do something that they opportunity to do something that they opportunity to do something that they will actually do it. So, take the the will actually do it. So, take the the will actually do it. So, take the the rise of communism here in the US. rise of communism here in the US. rise of communism here in the US. You can propagandize people all you want You can propagandize people all you want You can propagandize people all you want all throughout the universities, but if all throughout the universities, but if all throughout the universities, but if you don't break the economy, it doesn't you don't break the economy, it doesn't you don't break the economy, it doesn't end up working. So, you need both. You end up working. So, you need both. You end up working. So, you need both. You need the economy to be broken so that need the economy to be broken so that need the economy to be broken so that people are people are people are ready to drink up that ideology. So, if ready to drink up that ideology. So, if ready to drink up that ideology. So, if you open your borders, but people don't you open your borders, but people don't you open your borders, but people don't want to leave like Canada could open want to leave like Canada could open want to leave like Canada could open their borders all day. I'm not leaving their borders all day. I'm not leaving their borders all day. I'm not leaving America to go be in Canada. America to go be in Canada. America to go be in Canada. So, So, So, that part you need both sides of the that part you need both sides of the that part you need both sides of the equation. You need the opportunity and equation. You need the opportunity and equation. You need the opportunity and you need the impetus. And so, the you need the impetus. And so, the you need the impetus. And so, the question becomes what is it that makes question becomes what is it that makes question becomes what is it that makes them want to do this? And so, you have them want to do this? And so, you have them want to do this? And so, you have to answer that question. Now, if you're to answer that question. Now, if you're to answer that question. Now, if you're saying that okay, this is people that saying that okay, this is people that saying that okay, this is people that are fleeing hardship, again, it will not are fleeing hardship, again, it will not are fleeing hardship, again, it will not be only young men. And so, whatever your be only young men. And so, whatever your be only young men. And so, whatever your hypothesis is, it's got to explain what hypothesis is, it's got to explain what hypothesis is, it's got to explain what I actually see with my own eyes. Why is I actually see with my own eyes. Why is I actually see with my own eyes. Why is it only young men? And so, that needs an it only young men? And so, that needs an it only young men? And so, that needs an explanation. I just gave you one explanation. I just gave you one explanation. I just gave you one possible explanation of that, possible explanation of that, possible explanation of that, but it it needs to be explained by but it it needs to be explained by but it it needs to be explained by something. So, that's where I think something. So, that's where I think something. So, that's where I think people have to really start instead of people have to really start instead of people have to really start instead of just getting swept up in a narrative, just getting swept up in a narrative, just getting swept up in a narrative, you've got to build that line of cause you've got to build that line of cause you've got to build that line of cause and effect that explains both sides. and effect that explains both sides. and effect that explains both sides. Israel wanting it to happen, the US Israel wanting it to happen, the US Israel wanting it to happen, the US wanting it to happen will not suffice. wanting it to happen will not suffice. wanting it to happen will not suffice. There has to be a reason why the horde There has to be a reason why the horde There has to be a reason why the horde of people are actually doing it. of people are actually doing it. of people are actually doing it. >> Yeah. And there were a of people that >> Yeah. And there were a of people that >> Yeah. And there were a of people that died in the way trying to get over died in the way trying to get over died in the way trying to get over there, so. there, so. there, so. >> It was 43. >> It was 43. >> It was 43. >> 43. >> 43. >> 43. >> It was the >> It was the >> It was the most common number right now. most common number right now. most common number right now. >> Copy.

So it's not like they on the ground. So it's not like they on the ground. So it's not like they they just died in transit, and I'll be they just died in transit, and I'll be they just died in transit, and I'll be interested to see how many people were interested to see how many people were interested to see how many people were Spanish that ended up getting killed. Spanish that ended up getting killed. Spanish that ended up getting killed. Like if you look at the people going in, Like if you look at the people going in, Like if you look at the people going in, there's open fighting on the streets. Uh there's open fighting on the streets. Uh there's open fighting on the streets. Uh you've got people breaking into houses, you've got people breaking into houses, you've got people breaking into houses, breaking into stores. Um literally, like breaking into stores. Um literally, like breaking into stores. Um literally, like I said, there was one guy, I don't know I said, there was one guy, I don't know I said, there was one guy, I don't know if you can find the video, but there's if you can find the video, but there's if you can find the video, but there's one guy who had a ladder up against a one guy who had a ladder up against a one guy who had a ladder up against a like second or third story window, like second or third story window, like second or third story window, smashing the glass, trying to get in. Um smashing the glass, trying to get in. Um smashing the glass, trying to get in. Um so all of this stuff is inevitable when so all of this stuff is inevitable when so all of this stuff is inevitable when you have a swarm of 49,000 people. So to you have a swarm of 49,000 people. So to you have a swarm of 49,000 people. So to give you a bit of context, there are give you a bit of context, there are give you a bit of context, there are only 50,000 US troops in the Middle East only 50,000 US troops in the Middle East only 50,000 US troops in the Middle East right now in the middle of a war. So right now in the middle of a war. So right now in the middle of a war. So when you have essentially the same when you have essentially the same when you have essentially the same number of people going into a small number of people going into a small number of people going into a small town, like what are we going to expect town, like what are we going to expect town, like what are we going to expect there? So it'll be interesting to see there? So it'll be interesting to see there? So it'll be interesting to see how many of the deaths were violent, and how many of the deaths were violent, and how many of the deaths were violent, and how many of the deaths were like "Ooh, I how many of the deaths were like "Ooh, I how many of the deaths were like "Ooh, I slipped off the rock and I fell into the slipped off the rock and I fell into the slipped off the rock and I fell into the water."

On July 20th, the Houthi Houthis On July 20th, the Houthi Houthis On July 20th, the Houthi Houthis declared a naval blockade of Saudi uh declared a naval blockade of Saudi uh declared a naval blockade of Saudi uh being able to ship through the Bab el being able to ship through the Bab el being able to ship through the Bab el Mandeb strait. We've talked about this Mandeb strait. We've talked about this Mandeb strait. We've talked about this before. Um some people are are framing before. Um some people are are framing before. Um some people are are framing this as retaliation for the July 13th this as retaliation for the July 13th this as retaliation for the July 13th strike on the Sinai Airport. Uh Sana'a, strike on the Sinai Airport. Uh Sana'a, strike on the Sinai Airport. Uh Sana'a, I'm not sure how to pronounce that. S A I'm not sure how to pronounce that.

Uh a strike that Yemen's internationally uh recognized Yemen's internationally uh recognized Yemen's internationally uh recognized government claimed, and the Houthis government claimed, and the Houthis government claimed, and the Houthis blamed on Riyadh. So you've got like all blamed on Riyadh. So you've got like all blamed on Riyadh. So you've got like all this tension, long-standing tension, this tension, long-standing tension, this tension, long-standing tension, between the Houthis and the Saudis. between the Houthis and the Saudis. between the Houthis and the Saudis. Remember, this is really a proxy battle Remember, this is really a proxy battle Remember, this is really a proxy battle between Iran and Riyadh, which if my between Iran and Riyadh, which if my between Iran and Riyadh, which if my understanding is correct, these are understanding is correct, these are understanding is correct, these are different sects of Islam that are going different sects of Islam that are going different sects of Islam that are going after each other, and so there's after each other, and so there's after each other, and so there's uh I think uh I think uh I think in the West, a lot of mythology or just in the West, a lot of mythology or just in the West, a lot of mythology or just plain misunderstanding around what's plain misunderstanding around what's plain misunderstanding around what's going on in the Middle East. It is not going on in the Middle East. It is not going on in the Middle East. It is not the um the um the um uh Muslims against the infidels. You uh Muslims against the infidels. You uh Muslims against the infidels. You have infighting, Muslim-to-Muslim have infighting, Muslim-to-Muslim have infighting, Muslim-to-Muslim violence that's been going on for an violence that's been going on for an violence that's been going on for an extraordinarily long time. extraordinarily long time. extraordinarily long time. And so, that is a huge part of this, and And so, that is a huge part of this, and And so, that is a huge part of this, and that's what's playing out there. So, as that's what's playing out there. So, as that's what's playing out there. So, as we see the Red Sea get clamped down on, we see the Red Sea get clamped down on, we see the Red Sea get clamped down on, this is where the Chinese brokering this is where the Chinese brokering this is where the Chinese brokering deals with the Houthis to get everything deals with the Houthis to get everything deals with the Houthis to get everything through, but the specific targets are um through, but the specific targets are um through, but the specific targets are um Saudi oil being stopped. That's where Saudi oil being stopped. That's where Saudi oil being stopped. That's where all of this stuff gets crazy. And so, all of this stuff gets crazy. And so, all of this stuff gets crazy. And so, how far is this going to go? We'll see, how far is this going to go? We'll see, how far is this going to go? We'll see, but it's like when I read about this but it's like when I read about this but it's like when I read about this story, I was like, "Dude, this is story, I was like, "Dude, this is story, I was like, "Dude, this is exactly how uh exactly how uh exactly how uh a regional conflict begins to draw more a regional conflict begins to draw more a regional conflict begins to draw more people in, because originally this was people in, because originally this was people in, because originally this was like US-led. Everybody knew this was like US-led. Everybody knew this was like US-led. Everybody knew this was US-led, and everybody was really US-led, and everybody was really US-led, and everybody was really surprised when uh the UAE started surprised when uh the UAE started surprised when uh the UAE started getting hit, Saudi started getting hit, getting hit, Saudi started getting hit, getting hit, Saudi started getting hit, Qatar started getting hit. Everybody's Qatar started getting hit. Everybody's Qatar started getting hit. Everybody's like, "Why the [ __ ] what?" And now it's like, "Why the [ __ ] what?" And now it's like, "Why the [ __ ] what?" And now it's like, "Oh, you didn't understand that like, "Oh, you didn't understand that like, "Oh, you didn't understand that there were long-standing beef already in there were long-standing beef already in there were long-standing beef already in the region, and that we had a hot the region, and that we had a hot the region, and that we had a hot shooting war between the Houthis and shooting war between the Houthis and shooting war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia back in 2022. Saudi Arabia back in 2022. Saudi Arabia back in 2022. It's been sort of this uneasy truce, and It's been sort of this uneasy truce, and It's been sort of this uneasy truce, and so now we're beginning to see like who's so now we're beginning to see like who's so now we're beginning to see like who's going to line up with Iran, who's lining going to line up with Iran, who's lining going to line up with Iran, who's lining up with the countries that have up with the countries that have up with the countries that have normalized relations with um Israel. And normalized relations with um Israel. And normalized relations with um Israel. And remember, a lot of people said that remember, a lot of people said that remember, a lot of people said that October 7th was about that, that the October 7th was about that, that the October 7th was about that, that the Palestinians were feeling isolated on Palestinians were feeling isolated on Palestinians were feeling isolated on the world stage because everybody was the world stage because everybody was the world stage because everybody was normalizing relationships with Israel, normalizing relationships with Israel, normalizing relationships with Israel, and so they had to act immediately if and so they had to act immediately if and so they had to act immediately if they were, you know, ever going to have they were, you know, ever going to have they were, you know, ever going to have any way out from under this. If you any way out from under this. If you any way out from under this. If you understand Hamas as an Iranian proxy understand Hamas as an Iranian proxy understand Hamas as an Iranian proxy group, and Iran being the one who really group, and Iran being the one who really group, and Iran being the one who really doesn't want to see that, that they want doesn't want to see that, that they want doesn't want to see that, that they want to um keep the instability so that they to um keep the instability so that they to um keep the instability so that they can continue to try to get to a dominant can continue to try to get to a dominant can continue to try to get to a dominant position, to get the US out, to become a position, to get the US out, to become a position, to get the US out, to become a hegemon in the region, uh to bully that hegemon in the region, uh to bully that hegemon in the region, uh to bully that region into their way of life, then this region into their way of life, then this region into their way of life, then this starts to become a very different um starts to become a very different um starts to become a very different um outlook when everybody I think one of outlook when everybody I think one of outlook when everybody I think one of the dominant narratives was that no, no, the dominant narratives was that no, no, the dominant narratives was that no, no, no, this is really just about the US no, this is really just about the US no, this is really just about the US coming in and making trouble in the coming in and making trouble in the coming in and making trouble in the Middle East, not being honest about how Middle East, not being honest about how Middle East, not being honest about how much friction there already was in the much friction there already was in the much friction there already was in the Middle East between different sects of Middle East between different sects of Middle East between different sects of Islam. So, Islam. So, Islam. So, yeah, you put it back in that context, yeah, you put it back in that context, yeah, you put it back in that context, and now it's like, okay, if Saudi Arabia and now it's like, okay, if Saudi Arabia and now it's like, okay, if Saudi Arabia is starting to have their own beef with is starting to have their own beef with is starting to have their own beef with Iran, and going after the Houthis Iran, and going after the Houthis Iran, and going after the Houthis directly, and Iran is going to continue directly, and Iran is going to continue directly, and Iran is going to continue to try to fund them to create another to try to fund them to create another to try to fund them to create another pain point, um not just for the US, pain point, um not just for the US, pain point, um not just for the US, definitely for the US, but not just for definitely for the US, but not just for definitely for the US, but not just for the US, uh but also directly as a way to the US, uh but also directly as a way to the US, uh but also directly as a way to um have a fight with Saudi Arabia. So, um have a fight with Saudi Arabia. So, um have a fight with Saudi Arabia. So, then it becomes, okay, the UAE at one then it becomes, okay, the UAE at one then it becomes, okay, the UAE at one point was doing strikes directly in um point was doing strikes directly in um point was doing strikes directly in um Iran. In fact, there was a story coming Iran. In fact, there was a story coming Iran. In fact, there was a story coming out, I couldn't verify enough of the out, I couldn't verify enough of the out, I couldn't verify enough of the facts, so um take this as just pure facts, so um take this as just pure facts, so um take this as just pure speculation, but people are saying that speculation, but people are saying that speculation, but people are saying that there were actually um there were actually um there were actually um troops from the UAE doing strikes inside troops from the UAE doing strikes inside troops from the UAE doing strikes inside of Iran. What I couldn't figure out is, of Iran. What I couldn't figure out is, of Iran. What I couldn't figure out is, did they mean ground troops that are did they mean ground troops that are did they mean ground troops that are actually running missions inside of actually running missions inside of actually running missions inside of Iran? Are they talking that they're Iran? Are they talking that they're Iran? Are they talking that they're doing drone strikes? What's going on? doing drone strikes? What's going on? doing drone strikes? What's going on? But anyway, that there are many claims But anyway, that there are many claims But anyway, that there are many claims that the UAE is now striking Iran that the UAE is now striking Iran that the UAE is now striking Iran directly themselves. So, you've got directly themselves. So, you've got directly themselves. So, you've got Saudi going against um Iran via the Saudi going against um Iran via the Saudi going against um Iran via the Houthis in uh Yemen. So, now does the Houthis in uh Yemen. So, now does the Houthis in uh Yemen. So, now does the Yemeni government get involved? Is it Yemeni government get involved? Is it Yemeni government get involved? Is it just going to be read as something just going to be read as something just going to be read as something against the the Houthis? How does that against the the Houthis? How does that against the the Houthis? How does that play out? Uh you've got the UAE being play out? Uh you've got the UAE being play out? Uh you've got the UAE being pulled in directly, no longer just as pulled in directly, no longer just as pulled in directly, no longer just as like, well, we're standing in unity with like, well, we're standing in unity with like, well, we're standing in unity with the United States, but they're attacking the United States, but they're attacking the United States, but they're attacking Iran directly. You've got Russia and Iran directly. You've got Russia and Iran directly. You've got Russia and Iran sending weapons back and forth and Iran sending weapons back and forth and Iran sending weapons back and forth and the Ukraine, sorry, Ukraine saying, "Yo, the Ukraine, sorry, Ukraine saying, "Yo, the Ukraine, sorry, Ukraine saying, "Yo, we're not going to tolerate that." And we're not going to tolerate that." And we're not going to tolerate that." And so, man, this is how you start getting a so, man, this is how you start getting a so, man, this is how you start getting a lot of players into this, you start lot of players into this, you start lot of players into this, you start merging the war in Russia between Russia merging the war in Russia between Russia merging the war in Russia between Russia and Ukraine with the war between the US and Ukraine with the war between the US and Ukraine with the war between the US and Iran, which is now spreading and Iran, which is now spreading and Iran, which is now spreading regionally and very rapidly. Depending regionally and very rapidly. Depending regionally and very rapidly. Depending on what happens with China, this very on what happens with China, this very on what happens with China, this very rapidly starts looking like the early rapidly starts looking like the early rapidly starts looking like the early stages of a world war. Like it it is stages of a world war. Like it it is stages of a world war. Like it it is very unnerving. And yeah, this is a time very unnerving. And yeah, this is a time very unnerving. And yeah, this is a time where we should want all of this to come where we should want all of this to come where we should want all of this to come to an end as quickly as possible, but I to an end as quickly as possible, but I to an end as quickly as possible, but I certainly don't see the off-ramp. certainly don't see the off-ramp. certainly don't see the off-ramp. >> Tell him do something that you hate. >> Tell him do something that you hate. >> Tell him do something that you hate. >> Please. >> Please. >> Please. >> I'm going to make you president. >> I'm going to make you president. >> I'm going to make you president. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> What are we What are like this is a lot. >> Just know that button was pressed by >> Just know that button was pressed by somebody whose job is in [laughter] my somebody whose job is in [laughter] my somebody whose job is in [laughter] my hand.

I get shoe, now we're stuck in Iran. I get shoe, now we're stuck in Iran. I get that. But with everything now escalating that. But with everything now escalating that. But with everything now escalating and what it seems like in three and what it seems like in three and what it seems like in three different places, different places, different places, it's kind of like you're at a party and it's kind of like you're at a party and it's kind of like you're at a party and you're like, "Okay, I think that guy you're like, "Okay, I think that guy you're like, "Okay, I think that guy doesn't like me.

It's like We have to be specific, right? It's like if I were to say the same thing about if I were to say the same thing about if I were to say the same thing about Christianity or Judaism, that's also in Christianity or Judaism, that's also in Christianity or Judaism, that's also in their Old Testament cuz that was their Old Testament cuz that was their Old Testament cuz that was >> Yeah, well, okay.

You you you've touched on a subject I doubt you um have touched on a subject I doubt you um have touched on a subject I doubt you um have encountered, which is here's part of the encountered, which is here's part of the encountered, which is here's part of the problem. Uh problem. Uh problem. Uh okay, let's okay, let's okay, let's put a very careful road marker. We are put a very careful road marker. We are put a very careful road marker. We are talking about extremist views on talking about extremist views on talking about extremist views on uh Islam. We are not talking about what uh Islam. We are not talking about what uh Islam. We are not talking about what is almost certainly the overwhelming is almost certainly the overwhelming is almost certainly the overwhelming vast majority of Muslims who have a very vast majority of Muslims who have a very vast majority of Muslims who have a very um compatible with the West like I just um compatible with the West like I just um compatible with the West like I just want a rad life. I want to pray to my want a rad life. I want to pray to my want a rad life. I want to pray to my God and let you pray to your God, and God and let you pray to your God, and God and let you pray to your God, and everything is good view on it. And it is everything is good view on it. And it is everything is good view on it. And it is horrific that that gets swept up in all horrific that that gets swept up in all horrific that that gets swept up in all of this. There are ideas in the Quran of this. There are ideas in the Quran of this. There are ideas in the Quran that when read from a like, "No, no, no. that when read from a like, "No, no, no. that when read from a like, "No, no, no. This is like the the way it's meant to This is like the the way it's meant to This is like the the way it's meant to be interpreted." It just gets a little be interpreted." It just gets a little be interpreted." It just gets a little more aggressive than other religions who more aggressive than other religions who more aggressive than other religions who don't happen to have something as don't happen to have something as don't happen to have something as hardcore. So, for instance hardcore. So, for instance hardcore. So, for instance part of the reason that extremism finds part of the reason that extremism finds part of the reason that extremism finds root in Islam is because that uh root in Islam is because that uh root in Islam is because that uh Muhammad is the final word. He's the Muhammad is the final word. He's the Muhammad is the final word. He's the final revelation. He's the final final revelation. He's the final final revelation. He's the final prophet. And so, nothing will ever come prophet. And so, nothing will ever come prophet. And so, nothing will ever come after him. So, you didn't get that same after him. So, you didn't get that same after him. So, you didn't get that same read off of the Old Testament, which is read off of the Old Testament, which is read off of the Old Testament, which is why Jesus comes along. Remember, Jesus why Jesus comes along. Remember, Jesus why Jesus comes along. Remember, Jesus was a Jew. And he was like, "Actually, was a Jew. And he was like, "Actually, was a Jew. And he was like, "Actually, this is what God wants and meant and all this is what God wants and meant and all this is what God wants and meant and all of that." And then, obviously, of that." And then, obviously, of that." And then, obviously, [clears throat] you get the Reformation [clears throat] you get the Reformation [clears throat] you get the Reformation going through the Christian church, and going through the Christian church, and going through the Christian church, and people don't have the same sense of people don't have the same sense of people don't have the same sense of like, "But no, wait. The Old Testament like, "But no, wait. The Old Testament like, "But no, wait. The Old Testament was the final word of God, and was the final word of God, and was the final word of God, and therefore, right?" It just doesn't. And therefore, right?" It just doesn't. And therefore, right?" It just doesn't. And so, you don't get it's not that you so, you don't get it's not that you so, you don't get it's not that you don't get fundamentalists who become don't get fundamentalists who become don't get fundamentalists who become dangerous. You just don't get them en dangerous. You just don't get them en dangerous. You just don't get them en masse in the way that you get when um masse in the way that you get when um masse in the way that you get when um none of neither Jesus nor any of his none of neither Jesus nor any of his none of neither Jesus nor any of his apostles were political or military apostles were political or military apostles were political or military leaders. Unfortunately for Islam, uh leaders. Unfortunately for Islam, uh leaders. Unfortunately for Islam, uh Muhammad was both. Muhammad was both. Muhammad was both. So, he was a a prophet, but he was also So, he was a a prophet, but he was also So, he was a a prophet, but he was also a political leader and a very talented a political leader and a very talented a political leader and a very talented general. So, now you have like these general. So, now you have like these general. So, now you have like these three phases of Islam three phases of Islam three phases of Islam where some of them get pretty like where some of them get pretty like where some of them get pretty like hardcore about conquering and taking hardcore about conquering and taking hardcore about conquering and taking things, and that's where it gets a things, and that's where it gets a things, and that's where it gets a little unnerving. So, to bring it all little unnerving. So, to bring it all little unnerving. So, to bring it all back to what you said that made me want back to what you said that made me want back to what you said that made me want to go down that path is that you can to go down that path is that you can to go down that path is that you can imagine if you were counseling that imagine if you were counseling that imagine if you were counseling that woman whose husband is, you know, dead woman whose husband is, you know, dead woman whose husband is, you know, dead in the corner, his entrails are in the corner, his entrails are in the corner, his entrails are everywhere, he's been beheaded, and everywhere, he's been beheaded, and everywhere, he's been beheaded, and you're like, "Listen, uh you have to you're like, "Listen, uh you have to you're like, "Listen, uh you have to understand, like, this is the way that understand, like, this is the way that understand, like, this is the way that some people are reading this is not some people are reading this is not some people are reading this is not quite the right way." She's going to be quite the right way." She's going to be quite the right way." She's going to be like, "Fuck you. He's going to take me like, "Fuck you. He's going to take me like, "Fuck you. He's going to take me as his wife. I don't want to be his as his wife. I don't want to be his as his wife. I don't want to be his wife. I want my husband to not be dead." wife. I want my husband to not be dead." wife. I want my husband to not be dead." And so, this is going to be very cold And so, this is going to be very cold And so, this is going to be very cold comfort, that read. comfort, that read. comfort, that read. >> I agree with you. All I am saying is >> I agree with you. All I am saying is >> I agree with you. All I am saying is that this same verse and the same that this same verse and the same that this same verse and the same ideology is traced back to those other ideology is traced back to those other ideology is traced back to those other Like this Deuteronomy verse here says, Like this Deuteronomy verse here says, Like this Deuteronomy verse here says, "When you go to war against your enemies "When you go to war against your enemies "When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into and the Lord your God delivers them into and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you your hands and you take captives, if you your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful notice among the captives a beautiful notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may woman and are attracted to her, you may woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife." I understand the take her as your wife." I understand the take her as your wife." I understand the New Testament throws out the Old New Testament throws out the Old New Testament throws out the Old Testament. I'm not even saying that Testament. I'm not even saying that Testament. I'm not even saying that >> doesn't throw out the Old Testament. It, >> doesn't throw out the Old Testament. It, >> doesn't throw out the Old Testament. It, let's say it reforms it. let's say it reforms it. let's say it reforms it. >> it. And I'm I'm I'm I'm not even saying >> it. And I'm I'm I'm I'm not even saying >> it. And I'm I'm I'm I'm not even saying I'm excusing what's in the Quran. I'm I'm excusing what's in the Quran. I'm I'm excusing what's in the Quran. I'm just trying to say this is something just trying to say this is something just trying to say this is something that I I is across all three of the that I I is across all three of the that I I is across all three of the Abrahamic religions. And I think a lot Abrahamic religions. And I think a lot Abrahamic religions. And I think a lot of people neglect that. That's all I'm of people neglect that. That's all I'm of people neglect that. That's all I'm pointing out. pointing out. pointing out. >> I'm not sure that people neglect it and >> I'm not sure that people neglect it and >> I'm not sure that people neglect it and I think it's a really good point to I think it's a really good point to I think it's a really good point to bring up because it's so important to bring up because it's so important to bring up because it's so important to understand, and again, we are talking understand, and again, we are talking understand, and again, we are talking about extremists, but I think it's very about extremists, but I think it's very about extremists, but I think it's very important to understand why you, um, important to understand why you, um, important to understand why you, um, as as a hypothesis, why you end up as as a hypothesis, why you end up as as a hypothesis, why you end up getting a, um, getting a, um, getting a, um, an easier time getting people to be an easier time getting people to be an easier time getting people to be extreme in the modern era on the side of extreme in the modern era on the side of extreme in the modern era on the side of Islam in a way that you're not on the Islam in a way that you're not on the Islam in a way that you're not on the Christian side. And so, when you ask Christian side. And so, when you ask Christian side. And so, when you ask that question, that question, that question, again, it is again, it is again, it is there the vast majority of Muslims do there the vast majority of Muslims do there the vast majority of Muslims do not take a radical interpretation. not take a radical interpretation. not take a radical interpretation. But there are more things that you're But there are more things that you're But there are more things that you're going to have to, and I'm talking going to have to, and I'm talking going to have to, and I'm talking Christianity, Christianity, Christianity, uh, so New Testament Jesus as an uh, so New Testament Jesus as an uh, so New Testament Jesus as an interpreter, as somebody who's telling interpreter, as somebody who's telling interpreter, as somebody who's telling you, "No, no, no, this is what God you, "No, no, no, this is what God you, "No, no, no, this is what God really meant," right? Takes you down a really meant," right? Takes you down a really meant," right? Takes you down a much more genteel, loving, embracing, much more genteel, loving, embracing, much more genteel, loving, embracing, the individual is where the spark of the individual is where the spark of the individual is where the spark of divinity lives, all of that stuff, divinity lives, all of that stuff, divinity lives, all of that stuff, right? It It That ideology takes you in right? It It That ideology takes you in right? It It That ideology takes you in one direction. one direction. one direction. Then you have another ideology that when Then you have another ideology that when Then you have another ideology that when read in an extremist way, just has more read in an extremist way, just has more read in an extremist way, just has more things that are easier to grab onto than things that are easier to grab onto than things that are easier to grab onto than Christianity does. Christianity does. Christianity does. And so, it is important to note how many And so, it is important to note how many And so, it is important to note how many evil things have been done in the name evil things have been done in the name evil things have been done in the name of Christianity and that of Christianity and that of Christianity and that part of the reformation, part of them part of the reformation, part of them part of the reformation, part of them holding themselves accountable to that, holding themselves accountable to that, holding themselves accountable to that, part of them trying to bend towards part of them trying to bend towards part of them trying to bend towards something that is more just is like, something that is more just is like, something that is more just is like, "Okay, cool. How did they pull that off? "Okay, cool. How did they pull that off? "Okay, cool. How did they pull that off? What did they have to do? And how What did they have to do? And how What did they have to do? And how can Muslims, cuz I think this is only a can Muslims, cuz I think this is only a can Muslims, cuz I think this is only a thing for them to do, how do they make thing for them to do, how do they make thing for them to do, how do they make sure that they have a similar sure that they have a similar sure that they have a similar reformation that bends in a similar reformation that bends in a similar reformation that bends in a similar direction and direction and direction and you find a path to you find a path to you find a path to getting away from some of those like getting away from some of those like getting away from some of those like reads of this. Now, the problem is, so reads of this. Now, the problem is, so reads of this. Now, the problem is, so um if you know about the um um if you know about the um um if you know about the um the golden age of Islam, okay, if I'm the golden age of Islam, okay, if I'm the golden age of Islam, okay, if I'm not mistaken and and anybody that sees a not mistaken and and anybody that sees a not mistaken and and anybody that sees a mistake that I'm making here because I'm mistake that I'm making here because I'm mistake that I'm making here because I'm I'm new enough to this stuff, I'm sure I'm new enough to this stuff, I'm sure I'm new enough to this stuff, I'm sure I'm making mistakes. Um but the golden I'm making mistakes. Um but the golden I'm making mistakes. Um but the golden age of Islam happens in Iran as the age of Islam happens in Iran as the age of Islam happens in Iran as the Persian Empire is merging with the um Persian Empire is merging with the um Persian Empire is merging with the um Islamic takeover. And because of the Islamic takeover. And because of the Islamic takeover. And because of the particular read that was being given, particular read that was being given, particular read that was being given, they had a strong economy, they were they had a strong economy, they were they had a strong economy, they were trying to blend with the Persians, and trying to blend with the Persians, and trying to blend with the Persians, and so it becomes a much more um subdued so it becomes a much more um subdued so it becomes a much more um subdued version. They take more like what I'll version. They take more like what I'll version. They take more like what I'll call gentle reads on things. But then, call gentle reads on things. But then, call gentle reads on things. But then, and I don't remember what year this ends and I don't remember what year this ends and I don't remember what year this ends up happening, you get an Imam that comes up happening, you get an Imam that comes up happening, you get an Imam that comes in that's like, "No, no, no, you guys in that's like, "No, no, no, you guys in that's like, "No, no, no, you guys are all um misreading this. This is all are all um misreading this. This is all are all um misreading this. This is all [ __ ] You're betraying Muhammad. [ __ ] You're betraying Muhammad. [ __ ] You're betraying Muhammad. We've got to get back to the truth." And We've got to get back to the truth." And We've got to get back to the truth." And you end up in the dark ages because he you end up in the dark ages because he you end up in the dark ages because he burns all the books, literally burns all burns all the books, literally burns all burns all the books, literally burns all the books. Uh and the quote goes the books. Uh and the quote goes the books. Uh and the quote goes something like um anything that something like um anything that something like um anything that disagrees with the word of the Quran or disagrees with the word of the Quran or disagrees with the word of the Quran or the word of Muhammad needs to be burned. the word of Muhammad needs to be burned. the word of Muhammad needs to be burned. Um and anything that agrees with it is Um and anything that agrees with it is Um and anything that agrees with it is redundant because we already have the redundant because we already have the redundant because we already have the Quran, and so they need to be burned, Quran, and so they need to be burned, Quran, and so they need to be burned, and so they get [ __ ] burned. Now, the and so they get [ __ ] burned. Now, the and so they get [ __ ] burned. Now, the Renaissance becomes, at least in part, Renaissance becomes, at least in part, Renaissance becomes, at least in part, because people start fleeing the region. because people start fleeing the region. because people start fleeing the region. Muslims also push into Greece and so you Muslims also push into Greece and so you Muslims also push into Greece and so you get knowledge fleeing Greece and so this get knowledge fleeing Greece and so this get knowledge fleeing Greece and so this is how Europe ends up going through its is how Europe ends up going through its is how Europe ends up going through its Renaissance because they were literally Renaissance because they were literally Renaissance because they were literally taking all this incredible knowledge taking all this incredible knowledge taking all this incredible knowledge that was in Greece, in Iran, the Persian that was in Greece, in Iran, the Persian that was in Greece, in Iran, the Persian Empire and they bring it to the West. Empire and they bring it to the West. Empire and they bring it to the West. And so it's like And so it's like And so it's like this is where you get these cycles where this is where you get these cycles where this is where you get these cycles where people go back to this more fundamental people go back to this more fundamental people go back to this more fundamental read and because there's so much in read and because there's so much in read and because there's so much in there about war and conquest and Jihad, there about war and conquest and Jihad, there about war and conquest and Jihad, it's like it's like it's like like it gets harder when an Imam rises like it gets harder when an Imam rises like it gets harder when an Imam rises up that says you guys are being untrue up that says you guys are being untrue up that says you guys are being untrue to the word. It gets harder to be like to the word. It gets harder to be like to the word. It gets harder to be like no, no, no, we're the right ones, you're no, no, no, we're the right ones, you're no, no, no, we're the right ones, you're wrong. Same thing with the Ayatollah wrong. Same thing with the Ayatollah wrong. Same thing with the Ayatollah Khomeini, same thing. You guys aren't Khomeini, same thing. You guys aren't Khomeini, same thing. You guys aren't being pious enough. You guys are being pious enough. You guys are being pious enough. You guys are misreading, you're too soft, like you've misreading, you're too soft, like you've misreading, you're too soft, like you've gone secular, this is some [ __ ] and gone secular, this is some [ __ ] and gone secular, this is some [ __ ] and he comes back on like this wave of like he comes back on like this wave of like he comes back on like this wave of like hardcore Orthodox reads. And so you'll hardcore Orthodox reads. And so you'll hardcore Orthodox reads. And so you'll see the same thing in Judaism. You see see the same thing in Judaism. You see see the same thing in Judaism. You see psychopaths that are reading the Torah psychopaths that are reading the Torah psychopaths that are reading the Torah in a way that's like, well, God promised in a way that's like, well, God promised in a way that's like, well, God promised us this land and we're going to take it us this land and we're going to take it us this land and we're going to take it all. 1,000% all. 1,000% all. 1,000% and so the question becomes, okay, how and so the question becomes, okay, how and so the question becomes, okay, how does that society keep a lid on that does that society keep a lid on that does that society keep a lid on that because because because Jews are [ __ ] terrible at procreating Jews are [ __ ] terrible at procreating Jews are [ __ ] terrible at procreating first of all. So they they just have no first of all. So they they just have no first of all. So they they just have no sort of sort of sort of overt takeover and certainly not by the overt takeover and certainly not by the overt takeover and certainly not by the sword. sword. sword. But you do see that coming out of But you do see that coming out of But you do see that coming out of extremist Islam and so that's where I'm extremist Islam and so that's where I'm extremist Islam and so that's where I'm like, hey, you're right. We need to look like, hey, you're right. We need to look like, hey, you're right.

Like, we need to freak out about that. Like, we need to freak out about that. Like, we are instructed by our God to do that and are instructed by our God to do that and are instructed by our God to do that and it's got a word and that word is jihad. it's got a word and that word is jihad. it's got a word and that word is jihad. And if you choose to interpret that as a And if you choose to interpret that as a And if you choose to interpret that as a military thing, you're way off base and military thing, you're way off base and military thing, you're way off base and that isn't it. Uh there are some people that isn't it. Uh there are some people that isn't it. Uh there are some people that say that it is military that that say that it is military that that say that it is military that conquering by the sword is one of the conquering by the sword is one of the conquering by the sword is one of the options, but maybe that's a tiny options, but maybe that's a tiny options, but maybe that's a tiny fraction of people. Okay, cool. But like fraction of people. Okay, cool. But like fraction of people. Okay, cool. But like being careful to tease those things out being careful to tease those things out being careful to tease those things out is fine, but hand-waving away and is fine, but hand-waving away and is fine, but hand-waving away and saying, "Oh, this isn't jihad." That saying, "Oh, this isn't jihad." That saying, "Oh, this isn't jihad." That that's an inaccurate representation. that's an inaccurate representation. that's an inaccurate representation. Muslims cannot be turned into a Muslims cannot be turned into a Muslims cannot be turned into a monolith. So, anytime anybody says monolith. So, anytime anybody says monolith. So, anytime anybody says blanket Muslims, that that's foolish. As blanket Muslims, that that's foolish. As blanket Muslims, that that's foolish. As we see, you've got warring factions of we see, you've got warring factions of we see, you've got warring factions of Muslims in the Middle East. There's Muslims in the Middle East. There's Muslims in the Middle East. There's already two major sects that have been already two major sects that have been already two major sects that have been killing each other for a very long time. killing each other for a very long time. killing each other for a very long time. So, yeah, they're they're not a So, yeah, they're they're not a So, yeah, they're they're not a monolith. monolith. monolith. What the one single point I'm trying to What the one single point I'm trying to What the one single point I'm trying to make right now is make right now is make right now is I think that because Muhammad was I think that because Muhammad was I think that because Muhammad was he went on this extraordinary life arc he went on this extraordinary life arc he went on this extraordinary life arc of going from first I'm a prophet, of going from first I'm a prophet, of going from first I'm a prophet, nobody's really giving me the time of nobody's really giving me the time of nobody's really giving me the time of day. day. day. People really start to listen to what People really start to listen to what People really start to listen to what I'm saying and I become politically I'm saying and I become politically I'm saying and I become politically important and so I start making laws and important and so I start making laws and important and so I start making laws and then I realize I'm actually an then I realize I'm actually an then I realize I'm actually an extraordinary military strategist and so extraordinary military strategist and so extraordinary military strategist and so now I'm going to go on conquest. And so now I'm going to go on conquest. And so now I'm going to go on conquest. And so you can see these three beats of his you can see these three beats of his you can see these three beats of his life where it's very conciliatory in the life where it's very conciliatory in the life where it's very conciliatory in the beginning when he's small and weak, beginning when he's small and weak, beginning when he's small and weak, which is smart, by the way. And so, um which is smart, by the way. And so, um which is smart, by the way. And so, um you get like the Islam is a religion of you get like the Islam is a religion of you get like the Islam is a religion of peace largely from that period. Uh but peace largely from that period. Uh but peace largely from that period. Uh but then, as he gets more powerful in the then, as he gets more powerful in the then, as he gets more powerful in the political element, he starts making um political element, he starts making um political element, he starts making um verses of the Quran that tell you how to verses of the Quran that tell you how to verses of the Quran that tell you how to live, right? By this is how um, the live, right? By this is how um, the live, right? By this is how um, the policies of the land should be. And then policies of the land should be. And then policies of the land should be. And then as he goes into being a conquering hero, as he goes into being a conquering hero, as he goes into being a conquering hero, it those start working their way into it those start working their way into it those start working their way into that. Now, if Jesus had gone on the that. Now, if Jesus had gone on the that. Now, if Jesus had gone on the Crusades and had conquered places and Crusades and had conquered places and Crusades and had conquered places and then was like, "Yo, let me tell you how then was like, "Yo, let me tell you how then was like, "Yo, let me tell you how you think about war." It's like, you think about war." It's like, you think about war." It's like, "Uh-oh." Like, that would have "Uh-oh." Like, that would have "Uh-oh." Like, that would have introduced ideas into a {quote} sacred introduced ideas into a {quote} sacred introduced ideas into a {quote} sacred text that I think would end up creating text that I think would end up creating text that I think would end up creating problems for the faith down the road. problems for the faith down the road. problems for the faith down the road. And that that is the only thing I'm And that that is the only thing I'm And that that is the only thing I'm putting on the table is if I'm a putting on the table is if I'm a putting on the table is if I'm a moderate Muslim moderate Muslim moderate Muslim and I'm I'm loving what's going on in and I'm I'm loving what's going on in and I'm I'm loving what's going on in the West. It it's they're beautiful the West. It it's they're beautiful the West. It it's they're beautiful places, incredible architecture. I want places, incredible architecture. I want places, incredible architecture. I want to be a part of that, but I want to to be a part of that, but I want to to be a part of that, but I want to follow my God in my way, then I'm follow my God in my way, then I'm follow my God in my way, then I'm looking at this going, "God damn it. looking at this going, "God damn it. looking at this going, "God damn it. Like, we've got these people on the Like, we've got these people on the Like, we've got these people on the extreme that are creating problems." As extreme that are creating problems." As extreme that are creating problems." As I would expect Christians to look at I would expect Christians to look at I would expect Christians to look at somebody like Timothy McVeigh. somebody like Timothy McVeigh. somebody like Timothy McVeigh. And I would expect them to be like, "Ah, And I would expect them to be like, "Ah, And I would expect them to be like, "Ah, [ __ ] hell. Like, you're giving us [ __ ] hell. Like, you're giving us [ __ ] hell. Like, you're giving us such a bad reputation." And so, that's such a bad reputation." And so, that's such a bad reputation." And so, that's where I'm like, the the path before where I'm like, the the path before where I'm like, the the path before Muslims is not like, "Oh, we've got to Muslims is not like, "Oh, we've got to Muslims is not like, "Oh, we've got to get people away from Islam." It's how do get people away from Islam." It's how do get people away from Islam." It's how do we make this something where we make this something where we make this something where um, it's compatible with a broader um, it's compatible with a broader um, it's compatible with a broader world. It's compatible with religious world. It's compatible with religious world. It's compatible with religious freedom. freedom. freedom. And I think that is always going to have And I think that is always going to have And I think that is always going to have a flank to which it is vulnerable to a flank to which it is vulnerable to a flank to which it is vulnerable to orthodox interpretations that will give orthodox interpretations that will give orthodox interpretations that will give you things like, remember Muhammad you things like, remember Muhammad you things like, remember Muhammad personally oversaw the beheading of like personally oversaw the beheading of like personally oversaw the beheading of like 600 um, I think Jews, but certainly, and 600 um, I think Jews, but certainly, and 600 um, I think Jews, but certainly, and this was in Medina, I'm pretty sure. Um, this was in Medina, I'm pretty sure. Um, this was in Medina, I'm pretty sure. Um, so, it's like, "Ah." It gets pretty so, it's like, "Ah." It gets pretty so, it's like, "Ah." It gets pretty tough to say that Muhammad's not down tough to say that Muhammad's not down tough to say that Muhammad's not down with beheading the infidels. with beheading the infidels. with beheading the infidels. >> So, you don't think right now >> So, you don't think right now >> So, you don't think right now and this is just a clarifying question. and this is just a clarifying question. and this is just a clarifying question. The the Muslim faith is The the Muslim faith is The the Muslim faith is compatible with Western society. compatible with Western society. compatible with Western society. >> didn't say that. In fact, I said the >> didn't say that. In fact, I said the >> didn't say that. In fact, I said the exact opposite. exact opposite. exact opposite. >> no. I was curious for the clarification, >> no. I was curious for the clarification, >> no. I was curious for the clarification, cuz that's what it the cuz that's what it the cuz that's what it the >> So, what what I'm saying is very simply, >> So, what what I'm saying is very simply, >> So, what what I'm saying is very simply, religious texts need to be reinterpreted religious texts need to be reinterpreted religious texts need to be reinterpreted as the world changes. as the world changes. as the world changes. And when your book is accidentally And when your book is accidentally And when your book is accidentally written in a way that allows you to written in a way that allows you to written in a way that allows you to reinterpret it, as Christianity was, reinterpret it, as Christianity was, reinterpret it, as Christianity was, then you're in a much better position. then you're in a much better position. then you're in a much better position. People can modernize it, People can modernize it, People can modernize it, and um it ends up being great. I'm not and um it ends up being great. I'm not and um it ends up being great. I'm not Christian, but I'm very grateful to live Christian, but I'm very grateful to live Christian, but I'm very grateful to live in a Christian nation. in a Christian nation. in a Christian nation. Uh then, you have other books that maybe Uh then, you have other books that maybe Uh then, you have other books that maybe are written in a different way, and they are written in a different way, and they are written in a different way, and they create vulnerabilities that as a create vulnerabilities that as a create vulnerabilities that as a moderate Muslim, which I would assume is moderate Muslim, which I would assume is moderate Muslim, which I would assume is I mean, let's ballpark it to I mean, let's ballpark it to I mean, let's ballpark it to 85%. 85%. 85%. Just the absolute staggering Just the absolute staggering Just the absolute staggering overwhelming majority. I'm perfectly overwhelming majority. I'm perfectly overwhelming majority. I'm perfectly happy to assume that's true. happy to assume that's true. happy to assume that's true. They have a vulnerability of the They have a vulnerability of the They have a vulnerability of the orthodox interpretation being impossible orthodox interpretation being impossible orthodox interpretation being impossible to hand-wave away. to hand-wave away. to hand-wave away. And so, throughout history, we've seen And so, throughout history, we've seen And so, throughout history, we've seen the rise of imams that go, "You guys are the rise of imams that go, "You guys are the rise of imams that go, "You guys are not reading this accurately. And let me not reading this accurately. And let me not reading this accurately. And let me flip to, you know, 56 verses or hadiths flip to, you know, 56 verses or hadiths flip to, you know, 56 verses or hadiths that explain why you're wrong." And then that explain why you're wrong." And then that explain why you're wrong." And then people are like, "Fuck, I am wrong." people are like, "Fuck, I am wrong." people are like, "Fuck, I am wrong." Because it you have to say, "Yeah, I Because it you have to say, "Yeah, I Because it you have to say, "Yeah, I know it says that, but I don't think know it says that, but I don't think know it says that, but I don't think it's right to beat my wife even if she it's right to beat my wife even if she it's right to beat my wife even if she gets out of pocket.

I just don't think it's see the bruises. I just don't think it's okay." okay." okay." And so, but now an imam can go, "But And so, but now an imam can go, "But And so, but now an imam can go, "But bro, it's right here." Or I don't think bro, it's right here." Or I don't think bro, it's right here." Or I don't think it like here is one of the catches that it like here is one of the catches that it like here is one of the catches that [ __ ] as a moderate Muslim, you must [ __ ] as a moderate Muslim, you must [ __ ] as a moderate Muslim, you must be tearing your hair out over. be tearing your hair out over. be tearing your hair out over. That Aisha was 6 years old when Muhammad That Aisha was 6 years old when Muhammad That Aisha was 6 years old when Muhammad married her, and 9 years old when they married her, and 9 years old when they married her, and 9 years old when they consummated it. And so, now it's like, consummated it. And so, now it's like, consummated it. And so, now it's like, "Okay, how do you justify having sex "Okay, how do you justify having sex "Okay, how do you justify having sex with a 9-year-old?" Well, you say, it with a 9-year-old?"

Um Trump announced on Thursday night that Hamas announced on Thursday night that Hamas announced on Thursday night that Hamas has agreed to complete disarmament. I has agreed to complete disarmament. I has agreed to complete disarmament. I thought I was being trolled. I thought thought I was being trolled. I thought thought I was being trolled. I thought this was AI. I thought there's no way this was AI. I thought there's no way this was AI. I thought there's no way this is real because nobody is talking this is real because nobody is talking this is real because nobody is talking about it. The tweet that I saw had about it. The tweet that I saw had about it. The tweet that I saw had virtually no traction whatsoever. But ha virtually no traction whatsoever. But ha virtually no traction whatsoever. But ha Hamas has actually confirmed it. So, Hamas has actually confirmed it. So, Hamas has actually confirmed it. So, negotiators signed a disarmament negotiators signed a disarmament negotiators signed a disarmament framework with the US-led Board of framework with the US-led Board of framework with the US-led Board of Peace. And Peace. And Peace. And um this is the first time the group has um this is the first time the group has um this is the first time the group has put its name on any agreement to give up put its name on any agreement to give up put its name on any agreement to give up weapons. So, this is actually a pretty weapons. So, this is actually a pretty weapons. So, this is actually a pretty big deal. So, why are people not big deal. So, why are people not big deal. So, why are people not actually going for it? actually going for it? actually going for it? And I think the reason is that nobody And I think the reason is that nobody And I think the reason is that nobody expects this to stand. So, there are expects this to stand. So, there are expects this to stand. So, there are already cracks as of this morning where already cracks as of this morning where already cracks as of this morning where Hamas is saying, wait, hold on a second. Hamas is saying, wait, hold on a second. Hamas is saying, wait, hold on a second. That's not exactly what we agreed to. That's not exactly what we agreed to. That's not exactly what we agreed to. First of all, uh Palestinians are going First of all, uh Palestinians are going First of all, uh Palestinians are going to be in control of the weapons at all to be in control of the weapons at all to be in control of the weapons at all times." So, there's like all these times." So, there's like all these times." So, there's like all these caveats. We'll see if it goes through. caveats. We'll see if it goes through. caveats. We'll see if it goes through. Uh there's some weirdness about I don't Uh there's some weirdness about I don't Uh there's some weirdness about I don't know if Netanyahu's just outright know if Netanyahu's just outright know if Netanyahu's just outright rejected it or if rumors are that he rejected it or if rumors are that he rejected it or if rumors are that he rejected it, but it certainly isn't rejected it, but it certainly isn't rejected it, but it certainly isn't being just warmly embraced. And so, when being just warmly embraced. And so, when being just warmly embraced. And so, when you look at why it's not gaining you look at why it's not gaining you look at why it's not gaining traction even though this should be a traction even though this should be a traction even though this should be a really big deal, um it's nobody's really really big deal, um it's nobody's really really big deal, um it's nobody's really looking at it as a win. Hamas isn't looking at it as a win. Hamas isn't looking at it as a win. Hamas isn't going to be like, "Yay, we're going to be like, "Yay, we're going to be like, "Yay, we're disarming." Um Israel, if they still disarming." Um Israel, if they still disarming." Um Israel, if they still want to keep their campaign going, want to keep their campaign going, want to keep their campaign going, obviously is not going to be like, "Hey, obviously is not going to be like, "Hey, obviously is not going to be like, "Hey, they're disarming." And so, it's going they're disarming." And so, it's going they're disarming." And so, it's going to be very interesting to see what to be very interesting to see what to be very interesting to see what actually happens because the one refrain actually happens because the one refrain actually happens because the one refrain that you hear over and over and over is that you hear over and over and over is that you hear over and over and over is if Israel um puts down their weapons, if Israel um puts down their weapons, if Israel um puts down their weapons, there will be no more Jews, but if Hamas there will be no more Jews, but if Hamas there will be no more Jews, but if Hamas were to disarm, then there would be were to disarm, then there would be were to disarm, then there would be peace overnight. Well, we're about to peace overnight. Well, we're about to peace overnight. Well, we're about to find out. Now, will Hamas actually find out. Now, will Hamas actually find out. Now, will Hamas actually disarm? Will um Israel try to do disarm? Will um Israel try to do disarm? Will um Israel try to do something to um you know, obviously something to um you know, obviously something to um you know, obviously behind the scenes to try to like spark behind the scenes to try to like spark behind the scenes to try to like spark this off and get them pissed again so this off and get them pissed again so this off and get them pissed again so that they can keep going after them. that they can keep going after them. that they can keep going after them. We're about to find out, but it makes me We're about to find out, but it makes me We're about to find out, but it makes me very sad that this is um something that very sad that this is um something that very sad that this is um something that everybody's just like, "Yeah, good luck everybody's just like, "Yeah, good luck everybody's just like, "Yeah, good luck with that." Uh but the board of peace I with that." Uh but the board of peace I with that." Uh but the board of peace I think was a huge part of the um think was a huge part of the um think was a huge part of the um hostage release if memory serves hostage release if memory serves hostage release if memory serves correctly. And so, nobody believed that correctly. And so, nobody believed that correctly. And so, nobody believed that they were going to be able to pull that they were going to be able to pull that they were going to be able to pull that off. So, I mean, fingers crossed, man. off. So, I mean, fingers crossed, man. off. So, I mean, fingers crossed, man. Nothing would be more awesome than there Nothing would be more awesome than there Nothing would be more awesome than there actually being a true and lasting peace actually being a true and lasting peace actually being a true and lasting peace uh between Israel and Palestine. This is uh between Israel and Palestine. This is uh between Israel and Palestine.

It's style. The statement was short. It's style. The statement was short. It's basically identical to what happened in basically identical to what happened in basically identical to what happened in June, and they closed with like a simple June, and they closed with like a simple June, and they closed with like a simple one-liner, which is that the committee one-liner, which is that the committee one-liner, which is that the committee will deliver price stability. Now I wish will deliver price stability. Now I wish will deliver price stability. Now I wish them the best of luck with that because them the best of luck with that because them the best of luck with that because that is going to be very difficult for that is going to be very difficult for that is going to be very difficult for the Fed to actually control. the Fed to actually control. the Fed to actually control. Now Warsh gave no forward guidance. He Now Warsh gave no forward guidance. He Now Warsh gave no forward guidance. He said there is no soft inflation target. said there is no soft inflation target. said there is no soft inflation target. There's no implicit target. It's just There's no implicit target. It's just There's no implicit target. It's just 2%. That's our mandate. 2%. We're going 2%. That's our mandate. 2%. We're going 2%. That's our mandate. 2%. We're going for it. Uh he also said that the Fed is for it. Uh he also said that the Fed is for it. Uh he also said that the Fed is going to keep targeting the PCE, which going to keep targeting the PCE, which going to keep targeting the PCE, which is basically stripping out uh um the is basically stripping out uh um the is basically stripping out uh um the really important things like food and really important things like food and really important things like food and energy, uh but they are volatile, so you energy, uh but they are volatile, so you energy, uh but they are volatile, so you try to get like a better sense of what's try to get like a better sense of what's try to get like a better sense of what's going on. But, that that could change going on. But, that that could change going on. But, that that could change once the reports from his task forces once the reports from his task forces once the reports from his task forces come in. Uh so, we'll see what happened. come in. Uh so, we'll see what happened. come in. Uh so, we'll see what happened. Now, the interesting part is what Now, the interesting part is what Now, the interesting part is what happened in the bond market. So, the happened in the bond market. So, the happened in the bond market. So, the 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.21%. 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.21%. 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.21%. It's the highest yield since 2007. The It's the highest yield since 2007. The It's the highest yield since 2007. The 10-year went to nearly 4.69. The 2-year 10-year went to nearly 4.69. The 2-year 10-year went to nearly 4.69. The 2-year though fell four basis points. The Dow though fell four basis points. The Dow though fell four basis points. The Dow dropped over 1,000 points, and the dropped over 1,000 points, and the dropped over 1,000 points, and the 30-year mortgage right now is about 30-year mortgage right now is about 30-year mortgage right now is about 6.58%. 6.58%. 6.58%. As Drew was saying, uh Q2 GDP has slowed As Drew was saying, uh Q2 GDP has slowed As Drew was saying, uh Q2 GDP has slowed to 1.5%. You annualize uh when you to 1.5%. You annualize uh when you to 1.5%. You annualize uh when you annualize it, and that's down from 2.1%, annualize it, and that's down from 2.1%, annualize it, and that's down from 2.1%, which was already just like which was already just like which was already just like depression-inducing. depression-inducing. depression-inducing. Uh so, this is bad. We were expecting Uh so, this is bad. We were expecting Uh so, this is bad. We were expecting 1.8%. 1.8%. 1.8%. Didn't even get that, which again, 1.8% Didn't even get that, which again, 1.8% Didn't even get that, which again, 1.8% is god-awful. is god-awful. is god-awful. Uh the June PCE fell though, so the Uh the June PCE fell though, so the Uh the June PCE fell though, so the inflation rate fell from 3.7% inflation rate fell from 3.7% inflation rate fell from 3.7% uh uh uh to 3.7%, excuse me, from 4.1, and core to 3.7%, excuse me, from 4.1, and core to 3.7%, excuse me, from 4.1, and core came in at 3.3. So, um that's above came in at 3.3. So, um that's above came in at 3.3. So, um that's above target for what, like 5 years running target for what, like 5 years running target for what, like 5 years running now? So, this is This is not looking now? So, this is This is not looking now? So, this is This is not looking good, boys and girls. And so, good, boys and girls. And so, good, boys and girls. And so, understanding what's going on in the understanding what's going on in the understanding what's going on in the bond market is very important. So, what bond market is very important. So, what bond market is very important. So, what the bond market is telling you is this the bond market is telling you is this the bond market is telling you is this is probably not an inflation story. is probably not an inflation story. is probably not an inflation story. What this is likely to be cuz you get a What this is likely to be cuz you get a What this is likely to be cuz you get a difference in the long tail and the difference in the long tail and the difference in the long tail and the 2-year. You If this were just inflation, 2-year. You If this were just inflation, 2-year. You If this were just inflation, you'd expect 2-year to go up as well, you'd expect 2-year to go up as well, you'd expect 2-year to go up as well, but it went down. And so, what I think but it went down. And so, what I think but it went down. And so, what I think this looks like is this looks like is this looks like is they are expecting them to make a they are expecting them to make a they are expecting them to make a change, right? Given the dissenting, change, right? Given the dissenting, change, right? Given the dissenting, they're expecting them to raise rates, they're expecting them to raise rates, they're expecting them to raise rates, but they're effectively punishing them but they're effectively punishing them but they're effectively punishing them for not doing it right now. And so, for not doing it right now. And so, for not doing it right now. And so, they're saying this delay is um going to they're saying this delay is um going to they're saying this delay is um going to cost you. And so, I'm going to expect cost you. And so, I'm going to expect cost you. And so, I'm going to expect you to start paying me more to hold you to start paying me more to hold you to start paying me more to hold this. Now, the reason that I think that this. Now, the reason that I think that this. Now, the reason that I think that people are expecting there to be a people are expecting there to be a people are expecting there to be a long-term problem is that nobody trusts long-term problem is that nobody trusts long-term problem is that nobody trusts how the US government is going to handle how the US government is going to handle how the US government is going to handle the financial crisis that we're in the the financial crisis that we're in the the financial crisis that we're in the middle of right now. Uh obviously, I've middle of right now. Uh obviously, I've middle of right now. Uh obviously, I've talked a lot about this. You have talked a lot about this. You have talked a lot about this. You have instability in Japan, which is going to instability in Japan, which is going to instability in Japan, which is going to feed into this. You've got China that's feed into this. You've got China that's feed into this. You've got China that's trying to get out from under the dollar trying to get out from under the dollar trying to get out from under the dollar that's being very serious about gold. that's being very serious about gold. that's being very serious about gold. You have the fact that gold now is the You have the fact that gold now is the You have the fact that gold now is the number one reserve asset. It is no number one reserve asset. It is no number one reserve asset. It is no longer US Treasuries. You've got China longer US Treasuries. You've got China longer US Treasuries. You've got China selling US Treasuries, Japan selling US selling US Treasuries, Japan selling US selling US Treasuries, Japan selling US Treasuries, two of the biggest Treasuries, two of the biggest Treasuries, two of the biggest historical buyers. And so, who's going historical buyers. And so, who's going historical buyers. And so, who's going to buy the US debt, keeping in mind that to buy the US debt, keeping in mind that to buy the US debt, keeping in mind that we're $2 trillion we're $2 trillion we're $2 trillion running a $2 trillion deficit annually running a $2 trillion deficit annually running a $2 trillion deficit annually every year. We're at now 40 or almost every year. We're at now 40 or almost every year. We're at now 40 or almost $40 trillion in debt. $40 trillion in debt. $40 trillion in debt. Uh so, it's like people are looking at Uh so, it's like people are looking at Uh so, it's like people are looking at that going, "Bro, if you want me to hold that going, "Bro, if you want me to hold that going, "Bro, if you want me to hold US debt, you're going to pay for that US debt, you're going to pay for that US debt, you're going to pay for that privilege." So, people don't believe privilege." So, people don't believe privilege." So, people don't believe either that the Fed is going to do the either that the Fed is going to do the either that the Fed is going to do the right things or they don't believe that right things or they don't believe that right things or they don't believe that the Fed can do anything to change the the Fed can do anything to change the the Fed can do anything to change the direction that we're going. If you guys direction that we're going. If you guys direction that we're going. If you guys know Lynn Alden and her whole idea of know Lynn Alden and her whole idea of know Lynn Alden and her whole idea of once you get into fiscal dominance, once you get into fiscal dominance, once you get into fiscal dominance, meaning how the government spends money meaning how the government spends money meaning how the government spends money controls everything, controls everything, controls everything, uh you're in fiscal dominance. So, we're uh you're in fiscal dominance. So, we're uh you're in fiscal dominance. So, we're in this period where what the [ __ ] is in this period where what the [ __ ] is in this period where what the [ __ ] is the Fed going to do exactly? Like, if the Fed going to do exactly? Like, if the Fed going to do exactly? Like, if they try to raise rates too much, then they try to raise rates too much, then they try to raise rates too much, then they make it impossible for the US they make it impossible for the US they make it impossible for the US government to pay back their debt. And government to pay back their debt. And government to pay back their debt. And so, now you get into a problem where so, now you get into a problem where so, now you get into a problem where interest rates could run so extreme that interest rates could run so extreme that interest rates could run so extreme that the US government is literally unable to the US government is literally unable to the US government is literally unable to meet their obligations. And if they're meet their obligations. And if they're meet their obligations. And if they're unable to meet their obligations, then unable to meet their obligations, then unable to meet their obligations, then you don't want to be holding US debt. you don't want to be holding US debt. you don't want to be holding US debt. And so, people are seeing the risk rise. And so, people are seeing the risk rise. And so, people are seeing the risk rise. And so, when you're looking for a And so, when you're looking for a And so, when you're looking for a risk-adjusted rate of return, people are risk-adjusted rate of return, people are risk-adjusted rate of return, people are just saying, "Sorry, bro. Like, you're just saying, "Sorry, bro. Like, you're just saying, "Sorry, bro. Like, you're either inept and can't do anything uh or either inept and can't do anything uh or either inept and can't do anything uh or you're inept and are just doing the you're inept and are just doing the you're inept and are just doing the wrong things. And so, you're going to wrong things. And so, you're going to wrong things. And so, you're going to have to pay me for the privilege of have to pay me for the privilege of have to pay me for the privilege of buying this debt into the future. That buying this debt into the future. That buying this debt into the future. That is not a good position for a country is not a good position for a country is not a good position for a country running two trillion dollar deficits. running two trillion dollar deficits. running two trillion dollar deficits. Now, the question becomes how hard do we Now, the question becomes how hard do we Now, the question becomes how hard do we want to want to want to uh zoom out and see like all the uh zoom out and see like all the uh zoom out and see like all the potential stuff? I've got Steve Keen on potential stuff? I've got Steve Keen on potential stuff? I've got Steve Keen on my brain right now as I'm interviewing my brain right now as I'm interviewing my brain right now as I'm interviewing him later today. Should be very him later today.

But, lurking in the background matters. But, lurking in the background matters. But, lurking in the background of Steve Keen is debt forgiveness. Can't of Steve Keen is debt forgiveness. Can't of Steve Keen is debt forgiveness. Can't just do it forever. You've got to stop just do it forever. You've got to stop just do it forever. You've got to stop paying that interest.

We're going to um inflate our debt away so that the the inflate our debt away so that the the inflate our debt away so that the the pre-inflation dollars that we took on pre-inflation dollars that we took on pre-inflation dollars that we took on the 40 trillion, we're going to make the 40 trillion, we're going to make the 40 trillion, we're going to make that trivial compared to um the amount that trivial compared to um the amount that trivial compared to um the amount of money that we're going to get from of money that we're going to get from of money that we're going to get from growth. And then Trump goes, "But how growth. And then Trump goes, "But how growth. And then Trump goes, "But how are we going to get the growth?" And he are we going to get the growth?" And he are we going to get the growth?" And he goes, "From AI." And AI is also going to goes, "From AI." And AI is also going to goes, "From AI." And AI is also going to be deflationary. So, AI is going to be be deflationary. So, AI is going to be be deflationary. So, AI is going to be driving down costs. So, as we let driving down costs. So, as we let driving down costs. So, as we let inflation run rampant, it won't matter inflation run rampant, it won't matter inflation run rampant, it won't matter because we're just going to be burning because we're just going to be burning because we're just going to be burning through this natural deflation anyway. through this natural deflation anyway. through this natural deflation anyway. Um and AI is going to get the economy Um and AI is going to get the economy Um and AI is going to get the economy growing. It's going to look just like it growing. It's going to look just like it growing. It's going to look just like it did at the end of World War II where we did at the end of World War II where we did at the end of World War II where we had so much growth from manufacturing had so much growth from manufacturing had so much growth from manufacturing that um we even though we were doing that um we even though we were doing that um we even though we were doing financial repression, which financial financial repression, which financial financial repression, which financial repression is just inflation is higher repression is just inflation is higher repression is just inflation is higher than the return uh the interest on than the return uh the interest on than the return uh the interest on holding government debt. But people holding government debt. But people holding government debt. But people don't care because their real wages are don't care because their real wages are don't care because their real wages are going up. So, everybody's happy, the going up. So, everybody's happy, the going up. So, everybody's happy, the economy is growing, tons of tax money economy is growing, tons of tax money economy is growing, tons of tax money coming in, everything is great. coming in, everything is great. coming in, everything is great. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> And I think his pitch went something >> And I think his pitch went something >> And I think his pitch went something like that. And so, we're looking at Wash like that. And so, we're looking at Wash like that. And so, we're looking at Wash right now as if like, "Oh my god, Trump right now as if like, "Oh my god, Trump right now as if like, "Oh my god, Trump actually hired somebody that is like actually hired somebody that is like actually hired somebody that is like really going to be tough on inflation. really going to be tough on inflation. really going to be tough on inflation. No, no, no. He's got to first just show No, no, no. He's got to first just show No, no, no. He's got to first just show that there's separation of church and that there's separation of church and that there's separation of church and state so that everybody has credibility, state so that everybody has credibility, state so that everybody has credibility, and then he's going to um keep rates and then he's going to um keep rates and then he's going to um keep rates lower than they should be. Whether he lower than they should be. Whether he lower than they should be. Whether he lowers rates or not becomes irrelevant. lowers rates or not becomes irrelevant. lowers rates or not becomes irrelevant. It's just the rate of where should they It's just the rate of where should they It's just the rate of where should they be um compared to the amount of be um compared to the amount of be um compared to the amount of inflation inflation that we're getting. inflation inflation that we're getting. inflation inflation that we're getting. He is already letting inflation run hot, He is already letting inflation run hot, He is already letting inflation run hot, so holding steady is already weird in so holding steady is already weird in so holding steady is already weird in the face of 5 years of inflation being the face of 5 years of inflation being the face of 5 years of inflation being higher than it should be. So, it's higher than it should be. So, it's higher than it should be. So, it's already like, huh? So, he might not be already like, huh? So, he might not be already like, huh? So, he might not be lowering rates, but he's keeping rates lowering rates, but he's keeping rates lowering rates, but he's keeping rates lower than they ought to be if it's lower than they ought to be if it's lower than they ought to be if it's actually true that you can control actually true that you can control actually true that you can control inflation simply by raising rates. Now, inflation simply by raising rates. Now, inflation simply by raising rates. Now, I think he can't raise rates for the I think he can't raise rates for the I think he can't raise rates for the reason that we have to roll like 9 reason that we have to roll like 9 reason that we have to roll like 9 trillion dollars over in 2026, and we're trillion dollars over in 2026, and we're trillion dollars over in 2026, and we're running out of 2026 pretty rapidly. So, running out of 2026 pretty rapidly. So, running out of 2026 pretty rapidly. So, um he's got He's in a very tough um he's got He's in a very tough um he's got He's in a very tough situation. When you take my fictional situation. When you take my fictional situation. When you take my fictional story and put it on, everything for now story and put it on, everything for now story and put it on, everything for now looks like it fits. Whether that holds looks like it fits. Whether that holds looks like it fits. Whether that holds or not, whether he takes me by surprise or not, whether he takes me by surprise or not, whether he takes me by surprise and does something totally different, and does something totally different, and does something totally different, only time will tell. But right now that only time will tell. But right now that only time will tell. But right now that fictional story still maps to everything fictional story still maps to everything fictional story still maps to everything we see. we see. we see. >> Um you've been saying that a lot that >> Um you've been saying that a lot that >> Um you've been saying that a lot that like the plan, whether it happens or not like the plan, whether it happens or not like the plan, whether it happens or not is is still to be seen. We're going to is is still to be seen. We're going to is is still to be seen. We're going to grow our way out of this with AI. What grow our way out of this with AI. What grow our way out of this with AI. What does that mean? does that mean? does that mean? >> Well, so to grow our way out of this >> Well, so to grow our way out of this >> Well, so to grow our way out of this with AI, which I have been very careful with AI, which I have been very careful with AI, which I have been very careful to say there's the near term and there to say there's the near term and there to say there's the near term and there is the artificial superintelligence long is the artificial superintelligence long is the artificial superintelligence long term, term, term, there is going to be brutality between there is going to be brutality between there is going to be brutality between the two. And so, I can paint the picture the two. And so, I can paint the picture the two. And so, I can paint the picture of short term, long term, the brutality of short term, long term, the brutality of short term, long term, the brutality is where I'm like, I don't know what is where I'm like, I don't know what is where I'm like, I don't know what happens there. So, to grow our way out happens there. So, to grow our way out happens there. So, to grow our way out of this would be that let's say that um of this would be that let's say that um of this would be that let's say that um inflation is uh 4% and growth is 5 or 5 inflation is uh 4% and growth is 5 or 5 inflation is uh 4% and growth is 5 or 5 and 1/2%. Now, it's like, cool. and 1/2%. Now, it's like, cool. and 1/2%. Now, it's like, cool. Everybody's going to be fine. You're Everybody's going to be fine. You're Everybody's going to be fine. You're inflating their money by 4%, but you're inflating their money by 4%, but you're inflating their money by 4%, but you're growing their money by 5%. They've got a growing their money by 5%. They've got a growing their money by 5%. They've got a 1.1% 1.1% 1.1% growth rate. They're actually getting growth rate. They're actually getting growth rate. They're actually getting richer every day. It's not by any richer every day. It's not by any richer every day. It's not by any extreme amount, but they're actually extreme amount, but they're actually extreme amount, but they're actually getting richer. So right now they feel getting richer. So right now they feel getting richer. So right now they feel like they're getting poorer because they like they're getting poorer because they like they're getting poorer because they are getting poorer. Technically they got are getting poorer. Technically they got are getting poorer. Technically they got poorer in one big lump, but um they're poorer in one big lump, but um they're poorer in one big lump, but um they're still experiencing the effects of being still experiencing the effects of being still experiencing the effects of being poorer than they were 6 years ago. And poorer than they were 6 years ago. And poorer than they were 6 years ago. And so once they start going I'm getting so once they start going I'm getting so once they start going I'm getting richer, they click over into like this richer, they click over into like this richer, they click over into like this optimism and it's like oh, my life is optimism and it's like oh, my life is optimism and it's like oh, my life is going to be better a year from now than going to be better a year from now than going to be better a year from now than it is today. That's rad. My kids' lives it is today. That's rad. My kids' lives it is today. That's rad. My kids' lives are going to be better than my life. are going to be better than my life. are going to be better than my life. That's rad. And so now everybody goes That's rad. And so now everybody goes That's rad. And so now everybody goes back into being jubilant. You're back in back into being jubilant. You're back in back into being jubilant. You're back in the '50s and '60s. That's exactly what the '50s and '60s. That's exactly what the '50s and '60s. That's exactly what happens coming out of World War II is happens coming out of World War II is happens coming out of World War II is we're doing financial repression. We are we're doing financial repression. We are we're doing financial repression. We are intentionally underpaying people for intentionally underpaying people for intentionally underpaying people for holding debt. Uh however, we're putting holding debt. Uh however, we're putting holding debt. Uh however, we're putting people in a position where their real people in a position where their real people in a position where their real wages are going up. And so people feel wages are going up. And so people feel wages are going up. And so people feel great. great. great. >> Got it. And then the 56% that comes from >> Got it. And then the 56% that comes from >> Got it. And then the 56% that comes from >> Would have to come from AI. That that's >> Would have to come from AI. That that's >> Would have to come from AI. That that's like everybody's fantasy. The problem is like everybody's fantasy. The problem is like everybody's fantasy. The problem is you're you're going to get hit with an you're you're going to get hit with an you're you're going to get hit with an ugly stick very very fast by the AI ugly stick very very fast by the AI ugly stick very very fast by the AI running the same um up and down and then running the same um up and down and then running the same um up and down and then up again that every technology before it up again that every technology before it up again that every technology before it has run. And we haven't gone through the has run. And we haven't gone through the has run. And we haven't gone through the downside yet. Um so history tells you to downside yet. Um so history tells you to downside yet. Um so history tells you to bet against that downside would just be bet against that downside would just be bet against that downside would just be a historic. Doesn't mean it's a historic. Doesn't mean it's a historic. Doesn't mean it's impossible, but it would be a historic. impossible, but it would be a historic. impossible, but it would be a historic. And so um you're likely to obliterate And so um you're likely to obliterate And so um you're likely to obliterate all the people that are in AI on margin all the people that are in AI on margin all the people that are in AI on margin or are narrowly focused on, you know, a or are narrowly focused on, you know, a or are narrowly focused on, you know, a small subset of companies that may or small subset of companies that may or small subset of companies that may or may not survive all of this. The obvious may not survive all of this. The obvious may not survive all of this. The obvious wins in uh the 2000 um dot-com bubble wins in uh the 2000 um dot-com bubble wins in uh the 2000 um dot-com bubble crash, just a lot of them just went out crash, just a lot of them just went out crash, just a lot of them just went out of business. And so that's like if we're of business. And so that's like if we're of business. And so that's like if we're literally like imagine on the other side literally like imagine on the other side literally like imagine on the other side of this um OpenAI doesn't exist, of this um OpenAI doesn't exist, of this um OpenAI doesn't exist, Anthropic doesn't exist, um Gemini Anthropic doesn't exist, um Gemini Anthropic doesn't exist, um Gemini doesn't exist, and it's some new crop, doesn't exist, and it's some new crop, doesn't exist, and it's some new crop, the Kimmy 3's or whatever the world that the Kimmy 3's or whatever the world that the Kimmy 3's or whatever the world that end up being the actual winners on the end up being the actual winners on the end up being the actual winners on the other side of this. Imagine that AI other side of this. Imagine that AI other side of this. Imagine that AI becomes a thing that everybody does becomes a thing that everybody does becomes a thing that everybody does internally that they just bring on their internally that they just bring on their internally that they just bring on their own AI and that like a Kimikaze 3, own AI and that like a Kimikaze 3, own AI and that like a Kimikaze 3, something they can run in house which something they can run in house which something they can run in house which Kimikaze 3 can now be run in house. And Kimikaze 3 can now be run in house. And Kimikaze 3 can now be run in house. And so it just becomes compute and so now so it just becomes compute and so now so it just becomes compute and so now data centers become like oil companies data centers become like oil companies data centers become like oil companies and they're giving you a commodity or a and they're giving you a commodity or a and they're giving you a commodity or a maybe electricity companies a better maybe electricity companies a better maybe electricity companies a better example. So it becomes a commodity and example. So it becomes a commodity and example. So it becomes a commodity and it's like I'm running Kimikaze 3 but I'm it's like I'm running Kimikaze 3 but I'm it's like I'm running Kimikaze 3 but I'm using my local data center to get the using my local data center to get the using my local data center to get the intelligence for that model to run on intelligence for that model to run on intelligence for that model to run on that. Cool. And that. Cool. And that. Cool. And but if you're [ __ ] invested in OpenAI but if you're [ __ ] invested in OpenAI but if you're [ __ ] invested in OpenAI like you just lost all your money. So like you just lost all your money. So like you just lost all your money. So and if you did it on debt, don't do it and if you did it on debt, don't do it and if you did it on debt, don't do it on debt. If you did it on debt, now on debt. If you did it on debt, now on debt. If you did it on debt, now you're broke or you're like actually in you're broke or you're like actually in you're broke or you're like actually in debt millions of dollars and this is debt millions of dollars and this is debt millions of dollars and this is where people start jumping off where people start jumping off where people start jumping off buildings. We have not gone through that buildings. We have not gone through that buildings. We have not gone through that yet. And so as somebody who lived yet. And so as somebody who lived yet. And so as somebody who lived through the dot-com bubble, I will tell through the dot-com bubble, I will tell through the dot-com bubble, I will tell you you you I remember being in a room and somebody I remember being in a room and somebody I remember being in a room and somebody pulled me aside and they're like hey you pulled me aside and they're like hey you pulled me aside and they're like hey you see that guy over there? I'm like yeah. see that guy over there? I'm like yeah. see that guy over there? I'm like yeah. And they're like he used to be a And they're like he used to be a And they're like he used to be a billionaire and then because of the billionaire and then because of the billionaire and then because of the dot-com crash now he's you know worth dot-com crash now he's you know worth dot-com crash now he's you know worth like chump change or whatever and I was like chump change or whatever and I was like chump change or whatever and I was like god damn. Now like god damn. Now like god damn. Now as Ray Dalio goes to great lengths to as Ray Dalio goes to great lengths to as Ray Dalio goes to great lengths to explain to people wealth is not the same explain to people wealth is not the same explain to people wealth is not the same as money. So that guy never had that as money. So that guy never had that as money. So that guy never had that money money money but he had the wealth. So fine if you're but he had the wealth. So fine if you're but he had the wealth. So fine if you're not in on debt. If you're in on debt and not in on debt. If you're in on debt and not in on debt. If you're in on debt and now you owe and you have no way to pay now you owe and you have no way to pay now you owe and you have no way to pay it back and the numbers are it back and the numbers are it back and the numbers are astronomical, astronomical, astronomical, that could be life-long that could be life-long that could be life-long indebtedness. indebtedness. indebtedness. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So So So I I might not understand this correctly I I might not understand this correctly I I might not understand this correctly so help me kind of like see how I can so help me kind of like see how I can so help me kind of like see how I can flesh this. I'm trying to figure out flesh this. I'm trying to figure out flesh this. I'm trying to figure out would we need AI companies to grow like would we need AI companies to grow like would we need AI companies to grow like how what would be the the numerator in how what would be the the numerator in how what would be the the numerator in that that that >> You're you're to get GDP to go up. So, >> You're you're to get GDP to go up. So, >> You're you're to get GDP to go up. So, GDP is calculated as the velocity of GDP is calculated as the velocity of GDP is calculated as the velocity of money um divided by M2 money supply money um divided by M2 money supply money um divided by M2 money supply is GDP. is GDP. is GDP. Yes, I'm almost certain that's correct. Yes, I'm almost certain that's correct. Yes, I'm almost certain that's correct. >> Got it. >> Got it. >> Got it. >> So, velocity of money for people that >> So, velocity of money for people that >> So, velocity of money for people that aren't familiar with that, it's uh how aren't familiar with that, it's uh how aren't familiar with that, it's uh how much money is there in the system times much money is there in the system times much money is there in the system times the uh amount that it turns over. So, uh the uh amount that it turns over. So, uh the uh amount that it turns over. So, uh if you have um if you have um if you have um $20 million and it turns over twice, uh $20 million and it turns over twice, uh $20 million and it turns over twice, uh then you have $40 million in GDP. then you have $40 million in GDP. then you have $40 million in GDP. >> Got you. >> Got you. >> Got you. >> And turnover just means uh I earn a >> And turnover just means uh I earn a >> And turnover just means uh I earn a dollar and then you earn that same dollar and then you earn that same dollar and then you earn that same dollar off of me cuz I buy something dollar off of me cuz I buy something dollar off of me cuz I buy something from you. from you. from you. >> Did you need the formula cuz I found it? >> Did you need the formula cuz I found it? >> Did you need the formula cuz I found it? >> Yeah, please. >> Yeah, please. >> Yeah, please. >> Um I don't know if this is what you >> Um I don't know if this is what you >> Um I don't know if this is what you said, so you might need to confirm cuz said, so you might need to confirm cuz said, so you might need to confirm cuz these are all letters, but it says VM these are all letters, but it says VM these are all letters, but it says VM equals PQ over M. equals PQ over M. equals PQ over M. So, I'm assuming that's the nominal GDP. So, I'm assuming that's the nominal GDP. So, I'm assuming that's the nominal GDP. >> What's that? >> What's that? >> What's that? >> Uh VM is uh velocity of money. >> Uh VM is uh velocity of money. >> Uh VM is uh velocity of money. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And then PQ >> And then PQ >> And then PQ >> PQ I'm never heard it represented as PQ >> PQ I'm never heard it represented as PQ >> PQ I'm never heard it represented as PQ is the GDP cuz that's what it says over is the GDP cuz that's what it says over is the GDP cuz that's what it says over on the side. on the side. on the side. >> Yeah, so that should equal GDP over M2. >> Yeah, so that should equal GDP over M2. >> Yeah, so that should equal GDP over M2. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And M2 is the money supply. So, how much >> And M2 is the money supply. So, how much >> And M2 is the money supply. So, how much actual money is in the system? actual money is in the system? actual money is in the system? >> There you go. >> There you go. >> There you go. There's the formula. There's the formula.

Uh there an Elon Musk at the helm of EA? Uh there an Elon Musk at the helm of EA? Uh there's plenty of people out there there's plenty of people out there there's plenty of people out there saying that this guy is part of the saying that this guy is part of the saying that this guy is part of the reason that gaming is in the uh bad reason that gaming is in the uh bad reason that gaming is in the uh bad place that it's in. Um you take a place that it's in. Um you take a place that it's in. Um you take a company private because you're tired of company private because you're tired of company private because you're tired of the quarterly pressure that you get from the quarterly pressure that you get from the quarterly pressure that you get from investors that are making you make investors that are making you make investors that are making you make short-term decisions that are making you short-term decisions that are making you short-term decisions that are making you eke every dollar out of everything that eke every dollar out of everything that eke every dollar out of everything that you can, which is great for quarterly you can, which is great for quarterly you can, which is great for quarterly profits in the short term. It's profits in the short term. It's profits in the short term. It's absolutely terrible for the long-term absolutely terrible for the long-term absolutely terrible for the long-term viability of the brand. What is viability of the brand. What is viability of the brand. What is absolutely fascinating about what's absolutely fascinating about what's absolutely fascinating about what's going on inside of um the video game going on inside of um the video game going on inside of um the video game industry is it's really indicative of industry is it's really indicative of industry is it's really indicative of what a lot of people are calling late what a lot of people are calling late what a lot of people are calling late stage capitalism. So you look at this stage capitalism. So you look at this stage capitalism. So you look at this and you say all these [ __ ] are just and you say all these [ __ ] are just and you say all these [ __ ] are just optimizing these companies for optimizing these companies for optimizing these companies for shareholder value, which by the way they shareholder value, which by the way they shareholder value, which by the way they actually have a fiduciary responsibility actually have a fiduciary responsibility actually have a fiduciary responsibility to do, but I think you're a total [ __ ] to do, but I think you're a total [ __ ] to do, but I think you're a total [ __ ] if you think only about this quarter's if you think only about this quarter's if you think only about this quarter's money. You've got to be thinking money. You've got to be thinking money. You've got to be thinking long-term shareholder value. When you long-term shareholder value. When you long-term shareholder value. When you start thinking long-term shareholder start thinking long-term shareholder start thinking long-term shareholder value, you are going to rightly leave value, you are going to rightly leave value, you are going to rightly leave money on the table this quarter to make money on the table this quarter to make money on the table this quarter to make sure that you have massive affinity of sure that you have massive affinity of sure that you have massive affinity of the buying public so that the people the buying public so that the people the buying public so that the people that are a fan of your IP, that they that are a fan of your IP, that they that are a fan of your IP, that they really believe in what you're doing, really believe in what you're doing, really believe in what you're doing, they believe in the direction of the they believe in the direction of the they believe in the direction of the game, they want to evangelize for it. game, they want to evangelize for it. game, they want to evangelize for it. That is going to be way better for your That is going to be way better for your That is going to be way better for your profits in the long term than trying to profits in the long term than trying to profits in the long term than trying to nickel and dime people nickel and dime people nickel and dime people in the short term. Now, if EA is being in the short term. Now, if EA is being in the short term. Now, if EA is being taken private so that they can taken private so that they can taken private so that they can specifically break the spell of a specifically break the spell of a specifically break the spell of a hyper-financialized economy and they can hyper-financialized economy and they can hyper-financialized economy and they can get back to actually making a product get back to actually making a product get back to actually making a product that people want to own, then that'll be that people want to own, then that'll be that people want to own, then that'll be phenomenal. You take off a lot of the phenomenal. You take off a lot of the phenomenal. You take off a lot of the stupid pressure that is put on a company stupid pressure that is put on a company stupid pressure that is put on a company by the public markets and you can do by the public markets and you can do by the public markets and you can do something magical. This is exactly what something magical. This is exactly what something magical. This is exactly what Elon Musk did with X. Brilliant. Love Elon Musk did with X. Brilliant. Love Elon Musk did with X.

Now, you guys know I'm building a video Now, you guys know I'm building a video Now, you guys know I'm building a video game, so I feel some type of way about game, so I feel some type of way about game, so I feel some type of way about the video game industry. A big part of the video game industry. A big part of the video game industry. A big part of what has kicked this off is that indie what has kicked this off is that indie what has kicked this off is that indie developers are absolutely manhandling developers are absolutely manhandling developers are absolutely manhandling the AAA gaming industry and they're the AAA gaming industry and they're the AAA gaming industry and they're doing it through a very simple doing it through a very simple doing it through a very simple methodology. Make something that people methodology. Make something that people methodology. Make something that people really want to pay play, excuse me, that really want to pay play, excuse me, that really want to pay play, excuse me, that doesn't um, them from microtransactions doesn't um, them from microtransactions doesn't um, them from microtransactions and things like that. That it's just a and things like that. That it's just a and things like that. That it's just a dope game. It stands alone. You can play dope game. It stands alone. You can play dope game. It stands alone. You can play it by yourself or with friends. It's It it by yourself or with friends. It's It it by yourself or with friends. It's It is an awesome product where you can feel is an awesome product where you can feel is an awesome product where you can feel the love and the passion of the people the love and the passion of the people the love and the passion of the people making it, which is very different than making it, which is very different than making it, which is very different than the hyper, um, financialized, very the hyper, um, financialized, very the hyper, um, financialized, very transactional, dopamine loops that transactional, dopamine loops that transactional, dopamine loops that people were trying to, or not trying, people were trying to, or not trying, people were trying to, or not trying, that people built for years. And then that people built for years. And then that people built for years. And then once you had hits like Fortnite showing once you had hits like Fortnite showing once you had hits like Fortnite showing that you can have this, um, model of the that you can have this, um, model of the that you can have this, um, model of the always-on game, um, then always-on game, um, then always-on game, um, then every person that wanted to invest in every person that wanted to invest in every person that wanted to invest in the gaming industry started investing in the gaming industry started investing in the gaming industry started investing in that type of game. And that just sucked that type of game. And that just sucked that type of game. And that just sucked in all the investment capital. And so in all the investment capital. And so in all the investment capital. And so everybody was trying to make a game like everybody was trying to make a game like everybody was trying to make a game like that. And they were ignoring these that. And they were ignoring these that. And they were ignoring these beloved franchises to build these, um, beloved franchises to build these, um, beloved franchises to build these, um, live service games. live service games. live service games. And so the user base just started And so the user base just started And so the user base just started getting really pissed off that the type getting really pissed off that the type getting really pissed off that the type of game that made them fall in love just of game that made them fall in love just of game that made them fall in love just didn't exist anymore. It's not that they didn't exist anymore. It's not that they didn't exist anymore. It's not that they don't like live service games. They just don't like live service games. They just don't like live service games. They just don't want every game to be live don't want every game to be live don't want every game to be live service. And that there is like some service. And that there is like some service. And that there is like some what is perceived as predatory what is perceived as predatory what is perceived as predatory practices, practices, practices, excuse me, of some of these live service excuse me, of some of these live service excuse me, of some of these live service games. And so that rebellion, uh, of the games. And so that rebellion, uh, of the games. And so that rebellion, uh, of the player base is completely transforming, player base is completely transforming, player base is completely transforming, um, what's happening right now with EA. um, what's happening right now with EA. um, what's happening right now with EA. Now I think everybody's eyes should be Now I think everybody's eyes should be Now I think everybody's eyes should be on Roblox. I think people are missing on Roblox. I think people are missing on Roblox. I think people are missing the real transformation that's the real transformation that's the real transformation that's happening, which is that kids now play happening, which is that kids now play happening, which is that kids now play video games more like they look at video games more like they look at video games more like they look at reels. Everything is hyper disposable. reels. Everything is hyper disposable. reels. Everything is hyper disposable. It's all very cheap. They're not It's all very cheap. They're not It's all very cheap. They're not emotionally investing in IP anyway. Um, emotionally investing in IP anyway. Um, emotionally investing in IP anyway. Um, so we'll see if what we're actually so we'll see if what we're actually so we'll see if what we're actually watching play out is millennials have watching play out is millennials have watching play out is millennials have completely rebelled against the standard completely rebelled against the standard completely rebelled against the standard operating procedure for how games are operating procedure for how games are operating procedure for how games are being made and monetized. Uh, but that being made and monetized. Uh, but that being made and monetized. Uh, but that they're they're just going to age out of they're they're just going to age out of they're they're just going to age out of the equation. And that if you don't the equation. And that if you don't the equation. And that if you don't figure out as a game developer, if you figure out as a game developer, if you figure out as a game developer, if you don't figure out a way how to get those don't figure out a way how to get those don't figure out a way how to get those gamers out of the Roblox ecosystem, gamers out of the Roblox ecosystem, gamers out of the Roblox ecosystem, basically Roblox will become video games basically Roblox will become video games basically Roblox will become video games in the same way that YouTube became in the same way that YouTube became in the same way that YouTube became video content. So, yeah, I think there's video content. So, yeah, I think there's video content. So, yeah, I think there's a much different fight on the horizon. a much different fight on the horizon. a much different fight on the horizon. >> Do you think >> Do you think >> Do you think um asking both from your perspective um asking both from your perspective um asking both from your perspective running businesses, but also as a running businesses, but also as a running businesses, but also as a consumer of video games, do you think consumer of video games, do you think consumer of video games, do you think there's a world where EA going private there's a world where EA going private there's a world where EA going private could actually turn its entire could actually turn its entire could actually turn its entire reputation around like a Steam?

Um so, yeah, I I don't I think EA will Um so, yeah, I I don't I think EA will Um so, yeah, I I don't I think EA will continue to be an ongoing concern for continue to be an ongoing concern for continue to be an ongoing concern for millennials who have grown up with their millennials who have grown up with their millennials who have grown up with their IP. They love their sports games and all IP. They love their sports games and all IP. They love their sports games and all that stuff, and I think they'll do just that stuff, and I think they'll do just that stuff, and I think they'll do just fine. It is very very difficult for a fine. It is very very difficult for a fine. It is very very difficult for a large company to have a pirate spirit, large company to have a pirate spirit, large company to have a pirate spirit, and right now millennials want pirate and right now millennials want pirate and right now millennials want pirate spirit in their games. They want to be spirit in their games. They want to be spirit in their games. They want to be surprised. They want something totally surprised. They want something totally surprised.

They feel that they want to play. They feel that they want to play. They feel completely respected. And so, that has completely respected. And so, that has completely respected. And so, that has been a modern story of a legacy company been a modern story of a legacy company been a modern story of a legacy company reminding people of what made them great reminding people of what made them great reminding people of what made them great in the beginning. in the beginning. in the beginning. Um Nintendo, oddly enough, I think would Um Nintendo, oddly enough, I think would Um Nintendo, oddly enough, I think would be the one company that you could be the one company that you could be the one company that you could actually see a resurgence. They have a actually see a resurgence. They have a actually see a resurgence. They have a history of attracting the best in the history of attracting the best in the history of attracting the best in the brightest talent in a very specific type brightest talent in a very specific type brightest talent in a very specific type of gameplay. And if they stop being of gameplay. And if they stop being of gameplay. And if they stop being litigious and just started going, litigious and just started going, litigious and just started going, "Listen, we we have a uniquely Japanese "Listen, we we have a uniquely Japanese "Listen, we we have a uniquely Japanese perspective. We're going to make games perspective. We're going to make games perspective. We're going to make games that nobody else can touch, and we're that nobody else can touch, and we're that nobody else can touch, and we're going to find these young [ __ ] going to find these young [ __ ] going to find these young [ __ ] rebellious kids, which we have a history rebellious kids, which we have a history rebellious kids, which we have a history of doing, and we're going to like carve of doing, and we're going to like carve of doing, and we're going to like carve a space out for them not to get like a space out for them not to get like a space out for them not to get like forced into a box, that could really be forced into a box, that could really be forced into a box, that could really be extraordinary. So, that would be a extraordinary. So, that would be a extraordinary. So, that would be a company where I'm like, "Okay, they company where I'm like, "Okay, they company where I'm like, "Okay, they could have a '90s Disney style revival could have a '90s Disney style revival could have a '90s Disney style revival where you finally get a CEO that goes if where you finally get a CEO that goes if where you finally get a CEO that goes if you guys don't know that story of what you guys don't know that story of what you guys don't know that story of what happened to Disney, happened to Disney, happened to Disney, you have Eisner comes in and he starts you have Eisner comes in and he starts you have Eisner comes in and he starts saying the phrase, I can't remember if saying the phrase, I can't remember if saying the phrase, I can't remember if it's him or Katzenberg, but they were a it's him or Katzenberg, but they were a it's him or Katzenberg, but they were a pair. But they were saying repeatedly, pair. But they were saying repeatedly, pair. But they were saying repeatedly, as the animation goes so goes Disney. as the animation goes so goes Disney. as the animation goes so goes Disney. So, everything inside of Disney is an So, everything inside of Disney is an So, everything inside of Disney is an echo of that idea. We tell these echo of that idea. We tell these echo of that idea.

But if we don't get of our merchandise. But if we don't get of our merchandise. But if we don't get the stories right, nothing else matters. the stories right, nothing else matters. the stories right, nothing else matters. And so, you're going to need And so, you're going to need And so, you're going to need Nintendo to have that same wake-up call. Nintendo to have that same wake-up call. Nintendo to have that same wake-up call. That'd be really extraordinary to see. I That'd be really extraordinary to see. I That'd be really extraordinary to see. I have almost zero faith that EA is have almost zero faith that EA is have almost zero faith that EA is capable of that because they've always capable of that because they've always capable of that because they've always been like the grind studio. Blizzard has been like the grind studio. Blizzard has been like the grind studio. Blizzard has the ability, but boy oh boy, would they the ability, but boy oh boy, would they the ability, but boy oh boy, would they have to boot out a lot of have to boot out a lot of have to boot out a lot of ideology, which has really captured ideology, which has really captured ideology, which has really captured them. them. them. But Blizzard used to be like, "We Games But Blizzard used to be like, "We Games But Blizzard used to be like, "We Games are a religion." They didn't use these are a religion." They didn't use these are a religion." They didn't use these actual words, but this is what it felt actual words, but this is what it felt actual words, but this is what it felt like. "Games are a religion, we are the like. "Games are a religion, we are the like.

If they that was their patina, man. If they that was their patina, man. If they dropped a game, you knew it was going to dropped a game, you knew it was going to dropped a game, you knew it was going to be like incredible. And this speaks to be like incredible. And this speaks to be like incredible. And this speaks to This is something that I'll be This is something that I'll be This is something that I'll be interested to see if Steve and I Steve interested to see if Steve and I Steve interested to see if Steve and I Steve Keen and I can collide on this in a Keen and I can collide on this in a Keen and I can collide on this in a fruitful way, but as I'm sort of fruitful way, but as I'm sort of fruitful way, but as I'm sort of researching what is it he likes about researching what is it he likes about researching what is it he likes about Marx, what what is he taking away from Marx, what what is he taking away from Marx, what what is he taking away from that? that? that?

The only way that we're going to grow is by creating something going to grow is by creating something going to grow is by creating something that is truly innovative. that is truly innovative. that is truly innovative. The only way that you get innovation at The only way that you get innovation at The only way that you get innovation at scale is with competition and people's scale is with competition and people's scale is with competition and people's ability to do something nobody else has ability to do something nobody else has ability to do something nobody else has been able to do, to win financially, to been able to do, to win financially, to been able to do, to win financially, to make their lives better. And that make their lives better. And that make their lives better. And that ability to basically harness one of the ability to basically harness one of the ability to basically harness one of the greatest forces of nature, which is greatest forces of nature, which is greatest forces of nature, which is human selfishness, that somebody wants human selfishness, that somebody wants human selfishness, that somebody wants to be recognized for contributing to the to be recognized for contributing to the to be recognized for contributing to the group and doing something brilliant. group and doing something brilliant. group and doing something brilliant.

They want to make their lives better, their kids' lives their lives better, their kids' lives their lives better, their kids' lives better. Like, we're able to actually better. Like, we're able to actually better. Like, we're able to actually harness that truth of the human harness that truth of the human harness that truth of the human condition to our economic benefit. And condition to our economic benefit. And condition to our economic benefit. And when you go in and the government takes when you go in and the government takes when you go in and the government takes a stake in a company, now all of a a stake in a company, now all of a a stake in a company, now all of a sudden, who Who's going to get the sudden, who Who's going to get the sudden, who Who's going to get the contracts? The company with the contracts? The company with the contracts? The company with the government stake. Um who is going to government stake. Um who is going to government stake. Um who is going to survive in a downturn? The company with survive in a downturn? The company with survive in a downturn? The company with the government stake. And so, you end up the government stake. And so, you end up the government stake. And so, you end up getting these zombie companies that they getting these zombie companies that they getting these zombie companies that they thrive because the government is thrive because the government is thrive because the government is propping them up, not because they propping them up, not because they propping them up, not because they attract the greatest talent, not because attract the greatest talent, not because attract the greatest talent, not because they're making the best products.

And so, you end up using the monopoly power so, you end up using the monopoly power so, you end up using the monopoly power of the government to choose winners and of the government to choose winners and of the government to choose winners and losers, and they inevitably will turn a losers, and they inevitably will turn a losers, and they inevitably will turn a winner into a long-term loser because winner into a long-term loser because winner into a long-term loser because they will not be able to help themselves they will not be able to help themselves they will not be able to help themselves but try to make sure that their but try to make sure that their but try to make sure that their companies win. Remember, what you want companies win. Remember, what you want companies win. Remember, what you want in America is the ability to get rich in America is the ability to get rich in America is the ability to get rich and poor. And I know that that makes and poor.

It can't be something where I can go, well, the something where I can go, well, the something where I can go, well, the government's going to take care of me government's going to take care of me government's going to take care of me because it's run by a bunch of rich because it's run by a bunch of rich because it's run by a bunch of rich people, and they're going to make sure people, and they're going to make sure people, and they're going to make sure that rich people stay rich.

If governments tend towards tyranny. If governments tend towards tyranny. If they have AI, then they will tyrannize they have AI, then they will tyrannize they have AI, then they will tyrannize you with the AI. And so, the only way to you with the AI.

Um Um Um what they're saying is that the universe what they're saying is that the universe what they're saying is that the universe is too weird, and that it must be is too weird, and that it must be is too weird, and that it must be something that we can't yet imagine. something that we can't yet imagine. something that we can't yet imagine. Now, my problem is into that gap slides Now, my problem is into that gap slides Now, my problem is into that gap slides religion, and people go, "See, I told religion, and people go, "See, I told religion, and people go, "See, I told you it was God." And that's where I'm you it was God." And that's where I'm you it was God." And that's where I'm like, "Good lord." The idea that your like, "Good lord." The idea that your like, "Good lord." The idea that your 2,000-year-old reading of this is 2,000-year-old reading of this is 2,000-year-old reading of this is accurate uh is just nonsensical. That accurate uh is just nonsensical. That accurate uh is just nonsensical. That That is Okay, so in one of one or two of That is Okay, so in one of one or two of That is Okay, so in one of one or two of the videos that I did specifically on the videos that I did specifically on the videos that I did specifically on this topic, I talked about this is this topic, I talked about this is this topic, I talked about this is probably just a metaphor. So, me saying probably just a metaphor. So, me saying probably just a metaphor. So, me saying that we are NPCs inside of a video game that we are NPCs inside of a video game that we are NPCs inside of a video game is almost certainly incorrect, but it's is almost certainly incorrect, but it's is almost certainly incorrect, but it's me taking the the dominant technology of me taking the the dominant technology of me taking the the dominant technology of our time and saying, "Okay, this is the our time and saying, "Okay, this is the our time and saying, "Okay, this is the right metaphor," which we have done all right metaphor," which we have done all right metaphor," which we have done all throughout history. When the dominant throughout history. When the dominant throughout history. When the dominant technology is God and everybody's technology is God and everybody's technology is God and everybody's praying to all these pagans, then praying to all these pagans, then praying to all these pagans, then you or pagans are praying to all these you or pagans are praying to all these you or pagans are praying to all these gods, you understand how when somebody's gods, you understand how when somebody's gods, you understand how when somebody's trying to explain the universe, they trying to explain the universe, they trying to explain the universe, they just go oh no no no, you guys are all just go oh no no no, you guys are all just go oh no no no, you guys are all wrong. It's still God, it's just one wrong. It's still God, it's just one wrong. It's still God, it's just one God, it's my God. But that's them using God, it's my God. But that's them using God, it's my God. But that's them using the sort of dominant technological the sort of dominant technological the sort of dominant technological explanation for all the things they explanation for all the things they explanation for all the things they don't understand. But that one really don't understand. But that one really don't understand. But that one really plugs into our evolutionarily shaped plugs into our evolutionarily shaped plugs into our evolutionarily shaped brains and so it's really carried brains and so it's really carried brains and so it's really carried forward. So I imagine as we learn more, forward. So I imagine as we learn more, forward. So I imagine as we learn more, we're going to realize that the we're going to realize that the we're going to realize that the idea of this being a simulation is a idea of this being a simulation is a idea of this being a simulation is a equally incomplete metaphor for us equally incomplete metaphor for us equally incomplete metaphor for us trying to grope with we just don't trying to grope with we just don't trying to grope with we just don't understand the way the universe works. understand the way the universe works. understand the way the universe works. Um so that I have no heartburn over Um so that I have no heartburn over Um so that I have no heartburn over that. What I find fascinating about the that. What I find fascinating about the that. What I find fascinating about the simulation hypothesis is even if it is simulation hypothesis is even if it is simulation hypothesis is even if it is literally inaccurate, it is literally inaccurate, it is literally inaccurate, it is descriptively accurate. So our universe descriptively accurate. So our universe descriptively accurate. So our universe works like a simulation. Even if it works like a simulation. Even if it works like a simulation. Even if it even if the math proves that it can't be even if the math proves that it can't be even if the math proves that it can't be a simulation, the thing that it is a simulation, the thing that it is a simulation, the thing that it is functions exactly like a simulation. And functions exactly like a simulation. And functions exactly like a simulation. And so that's what's really fascinating to so that's what's really fascinating to so that's what's really fascinating to me. Um so yeah, it'll be interesting in me. Um so yeah, it'll be interesting in me. Um so yeah, it'll be interesting in the fullness of time if ever humans are the fullness of time if ever humans are the fullness of time if ever humans are able to actually map what is going on. able to actually map what is going on. able to actually map what is going on. Um Um Um it's pretty wild. The universe is a it's pretty wild. The universe is a it's pretty wild. The universe is a really strange place. really strange place. really strange place. >> Chaos Ballads says Tom, you do realize >> Chaos Ballads says Tom, you do realize >> Chaos Ballads says Tom, you do realize that there's a difference between Middle that there's a difference between Middle that there's a difference between Middle East oil and American oil, right?
