Iran is continuing to be the core focus of everything to be the core focus of everything to be the core focus of everything happening in the world. More and more happening in the world. More and more happening in the world. More and more people have eyes on and Iran's strike people have eyes on and Iran's strike people have eyes on and Iran's strike capabilities by the numbers show that capabilities by the numbers show that capabilities by the numbers show that their military uh has been dramatically their military uh has been dramatically their military uh has been dramatically degraded and we'll be going through the degraded and we'll be going through the degraded and we'll be going through the numbers on that. But despite the fact numbers on that. But despite the fact numbers on that. But despite the fact that we have reduced their ability to that we have reduced their ability to that we have reduced their ability to strike, the straight of Hormuz remains strike, the straight of Hormuz remains strike, the straight of Hormuz remains effectively closed and that is causing effectively closed and that is causing effectively closed and that is causing an energy crisis in Asia and if we're an energy crisis in Asia and if we're an energy crisis in Asia and if we're not careful threatening uh to create a not careful threatening uh to create a not careful threatening uh to create a global recession if this ends up going global recession if this ends up going global recession if this ends up going on too long.

Where are we at? Uh we just pulled up Where are we at? Uh we just pulled up Where are we at? Uh we just pulled up the Iran Iran by the numbers. It seems the Iran Iran by the numbers. It seems the Iran Iran by the numbers. It seems like they're blowing their load a little like they're blowing their load a little like they're blowing their load a little bit based off of the initial launches to bit based off of the initial launches to bit based off of the initial launches to where we are at now, day eight of the where we are at now, day eight of the where we are at now, day eight of the conflict. conflict. conflict. >> Yeah. So if you roll through all of >> Yeah. So if you roll through all of >> Yeah. So if you roll through all of this, you've got uh for anybody not this, you've got uh for anybody not this, you've got uh for anybody not looking at their phone. So on day one, looking at their phone. So on day one, looking at their phone. So on day one, these are ballistic missiles. They did these are ballistic missiles. They did these are ballistic missiles. They did 350 350 350 uh launches. Day 2 175 ballistic uh launches. Day 2 175 ballistic uh launches. Day 2 175 ballistic missiles. Day three 120. Day 450. Day missiles. Day three 120. Day 450. Day missiles. Day three 120. Day 450. Day 540. Day 6 32. Day 728. Day 815. So just 540. Day 6 32. Day 728. Day 815. So just 540. Day 6 32. Day 728. Day 815. So just down and down and down and down. Drone down and down and down and down. Drone down and down and down and down. Drone swarms similar. A little more chaotic in swarms similar. A little more chaotic in swarms similar. A little more chaotic in the numbers, but the overall trajectory the numbers, but the overall trajectory the numbers, but the overall trajectory is the same. Day 1 is 295 at the peak is the same. Day 1 is 295 at the peak is the same. Day 1 is 295 at the peak was 541 and now day 8 12. So, this is was 541 and now day 8 12. So, this is was 541 and now day 8 12. So, this is the inevitability of a country where you the inevitability of a country where you the inevitability of a country where you can stop them from getting new can stop them from getting new can stop them from getting new shipments. You can block their borders shipments. You can block their borders shipments. You can block their borders so that they're not getting more of the so that they're not getting more of the so that they're not getting more of the things that they would need to keep things that they would need to keep things that they would need to keep making this stuff. Uh, and so it's going making this stuff. Uh, and so it's going making this stuff. Uh, and so it's going to get harder and harder for them over to get harder and harder for them over to get harder and harder for them over time to fight back. Also, and again, you time to fight back. Also, and again, you time to fight back. Also, and again, you never know how much of this stuff that never know how much of this stuff that never know how much of this stuff that you can trust. But given how much of you can trust. But given how much of you can trust. But given how much of their leadership we have taken out, their leadership we have taken out, their leadership we have taken out, there's going to be at a minimum interim there's going to be at a minimum interim there's going to be at a minimum interim chaos as they try to figure out, okay, chaos as they try to figure out, okay, chaos as they try to figure out, okay, who are we listening to? They've who are we listening to? They've who are we listening to? They've decentralized their command, but that is decentralized their command, but that is decentralized their command, but that is not going to yield a coordinated effort. not going to yield a coordinated effort. not going to yield a coordinated effort. It's going to be things that are It's going to be things that are It's going to be things that are completely sporadic and all over the completely sporadic and all over the completely sporadic and all over the place. Uh it will also make it harder to place. Uh it will also make it harder to place. Uh it will also make it harder to come up with a concentrated effort to come up with a concentrated effort to come up with a concentrated effort to rebuild their pipelines and continue to rebuild their pipelines and continue to rebuild their pipelines and continue to manufacture their weapons at scale. Uh manufacture their weapons at scale. Uh manufacture their weapons at scale. Uh so this is all part of the plan. as the so this is all part of the plan. as the so this is all part of the plan. as the US gets the air superiority goes in, US gets the air superiority goes in, US gets the air superiority goes in, continues to bomb them, hammer them continues to bomb them, hammer them continues to bomb them, hammer them every time they pull something out from every time they pull something out from every time they pull something out from underground to launch rockets, then the underground to launch rockets, then the underground to launch rockets, then the US and Israel are able to identify where US and Israel are able to identify where US and Israel are able to identify where that came from, strike them back, blow that came from, strike them back, blow that came from, strike them back, blow them up. And so day after day after day, them up. And so day after day after day, them up. And so day after day after day, you're going to see their continued you're going to see their continued you're going to see their continued ability to fight at range degraded. Now, ability to fight at range degraded. Now, ability to fight at range degraded. Now, of course, Iran is talking nice and of course, Iran is talking nice and of course, Iran is talking nice and spicy that they want a ground war. They spicy that they want a ground war. They spicy that they want a ground war. They know how politically unfavorable that know how politically unfavorable that know how politically unfavorable that would be. They also know that they have would be. They also know that they have would be. They also know that they have a much better chance of stying the US a much better chance of stying the US a much better chance of stying the US and Israel if they can draw us into a and Israel if they can draw us into a and Israel if they can draw us into a ground war. I would be absolutely ground war. I would be absolutely ground war. I would be absolutely shocked if Trump did that. I think it shocked if Trump did that. I think it shocked if Trump did that. I think it would be insta death to his presidency. would be insta death to his presidency. would be insta death to his presidency. Uh so it is certainly not something that Uh so it is certainly not something that Uh so it is certainly not something that I expect to see him do, but nonetheless I expect to see him do, but nonetheless I expect to see him do, but nonetheless for Iran to get out of this. Well, one for Iran to get out of this. Well, one for Iran to get out of this. Well, one of two things would have to happen. of two things would have to happen. of two things would have to happen. China and or Russia would have to enter China and or Russia would have to enter China and or Russia would have to enter the frey and really be willing to supply the frey and really be willing to supply the frey and really be willing to supply weapons, weapons, weapons, break any blockade that the US and break any blockade that the US and break any blockade that the US and Israel are trying to put on in terms of Israel are trying to put on in terms of Israel are trying to put on in terms of getting weapons inside the country. Um getting weapons inside the country. Um getting weapons inside the country. Um or they would have to draw us into a or they would have to draw us into a or they would have to draw us into a radically different style of warfare on radically different style of warfare on radically different style of warfare on the ground there um on at street level. the ground there um on at street level. the ground there um on at street level. And so if they can if one of those two And so if they can if one of those two And so if they can if one of those two things happens or god forbid both uh things happens or god forbid both uh things happens or god forbid both uh then the dynamics of all of this change. then the dynamics of all of this change. then the dynamics of all of this change. But if we stay disciplined and we're But if we stay disciplined and we're But if we stay disciplined and we're just shooting things from afar, um, then just shooting things from afar, um, then just shooting things from afar, um, then the likelihood that Iran is able to the likelihood that Iran is able to the likelihood that Iran is able to muster a, um, ferocious defense goes muster a, um, ferocious defense goes muster a, um, ferocious defense goes down. But if I'm Iran, I will remind the down. But if I'm Iran, I will remind the down. But if I'm Iran, I will remind the world, I don't need to do any of that. world, I don't need to do any of that. world, I don't need to do any of that. What I need to do is [ __ ] with your What I need to do is [ __ ] with your What I need to do is [ __ ] with your energy. And so that's exactly what energy. And so that's exactly what energy. And so that's exactly what they're doing. Asia's energy crunch is they're doing. Asia's energy crunch is they're doing. Asia's energy crunch is spreading fast because Iran is able to spreading fast because Iran is able to spreading fast because Iran is able to control the strait of Hormuz via fear. control the strait of Hormuz via fear. control the strait of Hormuz via fear. So that has just remained closed and it So that has just remained closed and it So that has just remained closed and it is absolutely crushing the Asian is absolutely crushing the Asian is absolutely crushing the Asian countries who rely heavily on importing countries who rely heavily on importing countries who rely heavily on importing energy. And for anyone who wondered how energy. And for anyone who wondered how energy. And for anyone who wondered how exposed China is to what's happening in exposed China is to what's happening in exposed China is to what's happening in Iran and what part all of that played in Iran and what part all of that played in Iran and what part all of that played in Trump's calculus to attack, here's your Trump's calculus to attack, here's your Trump's calculus to attack, here's your answer. China has already been forced to answer. China has already been forced to answer. China has already been forced to entirely halt its diesel and gasoline entirely halt its diesel and gasoline entirely halt its diesel and gasoline exports. Only a few days of disruption exports. Only a few days of disruption exports. Only a few days of disruption after only a few days of disruption in after only a few days of disruption in after only a few days of disruption in the Middle East. So, China has also the Middle East. So, China has also the Middle East. So, China has also asked their exporters just to straight asked their exporters just to straight asked their exporters just to straight refrain from signing new contracts and refrain from signing new contracts and refrain from signing new contracts and to even cancel already agreed upon to even cancel already agreed upon to even cancel already agreed upon shipments in an attempt to save all of shipments in an attempt to save all of shipments in an attempt to save all of their oil supplies for domestic needs. their oil supplies for domestic needs. their oil supplies for domestic needs. This means that if the disruption goes This means that if the disruption goes This means that if the disruption goes on for too long, they could end up on for too long, they could end up on for too long, they could end up running into domestic issues as well, running into domestic issues as well, running into domestic issues as well, which explains why they're suddenly which explains why they're suddenly which explains why they're suddenly getting louder and louder about getting louder and louder about getting louder and louder about supporting Iran against the US. Now, the supporting Iran against the US. Now, the supporting Iran against the US. Now, the shutdown remains insurance driven. This shutdown remains insurance driven. This shutdown remains insurance driven. This is not a naval blockade. This is not is not a naval blockade. This is not is not a naval blockade. This is not because Iran has overwhelming power in because Iran has overwhelming power in because Iran has overwhelming power in the region. It is they're using the region. It is they're using the region. It is they're using asymmetric warfare. Iran is proving that asymmetric warfare. Iran is proving that asymmetric warfare. Iran is proving that you don't have to have mines in the you don't have to have mines in the you don't have to have mines in the straight. You don't even have to have straight. You don't even have to have straight. You don't even have to have anti-ship missiles. You just need a few anti-ship missiles. You just need a few anti-ship missiles. You just need a few drones that can prove that you can hit drones that can prove that you can hit drones that can prove that you can hit the ships that go through. And once you the ships that go through. And once you the ships that go through. And once you do that, and I think they've hit five do that, and I think they've hit five do that, and I think they've hit five ships, they've killed a small handful of ships, they've killed a small handful of ships, they've killed a small handful of people. Um, insurers are going to back people. Um, insurers are going to back people. Um, insurers are going to back out. And that's exactly what we see out. And that's exactly what we see out. And that's exactly what we see happening, is that the shipping happening, is that the shipping happening, is that the shipping companies have just decided it's unsafe. companies have just decided it's unsafe. companies have just decided it's unsafe. They can't get insurance and traffic is They can't get insurance and traffic is They can't get insurance and traffic is straight up halted. Now, Asia is the straight up halted. Now, Asia is the straight up halted. Now, Asia is the most exposed, but it's not just China. most exposed, but it's not just China. most exposed, but it's not just China. India, Japan, South Korea together, they India, Japan, South Korea together, they India, Japan, South Korea together, they account for nearly 70% of shipments account for nearly 70% of shipments account for nearly 70% of shipments through the strait. Bangladesh, for through the strait. Bangladesh, for through the strait. Bangladesh, for example, is already dealing with example, is already dealing with example, is already dealing with severely strained energy stockpiles. severely strained energy stockpiles. severely strained energy stockpiles. So, we'll see how long these guys can So, we'll see how long these guys can So, we'll see how long these guys can keep things going. Now, from the safety keep things going. Now, from the safety keep things going. Now, from the safety of the US, where we can produce our own of the US, where we can produce our own of the US, where we can produce our own energy, we don't necessarily feel it as energy, we don't necessarily feel it as energy, we don't necessarily feel it as much, but the scale of the disruption is much, but the scale of the disruption is much, but the scale of the disruption is absolutely massive. At least five absolutely massive. At least five absolutely massive. At least five tankers have been damaged. As I was tankers have been damaged. As I was tankers have been damaged. As I was saying, two personnel killed. About 150 saying, two personnel killed. About 150 saying, two personnel killed. About 150 ships are currently stranded around the ships are currently stranded around the ships are currently stranded around the strait and about 10% of the world's strait and about 10% of the world's strait and about 10% of the world's container ships are caught in the container ships are caught in the container ships are caught in the backups here. Now, Trump's response has backups here. Now, Trump's response has backups here. Now, Trump's response has been to offer a workaround where the US been to offer a workaround where the US been to offer a workaround where the US would offer naval escorts despite them would offer naval escorts despite them would offer naval escorts despite them saying that they're not prepared to do saying that they're not prepared to do saying that they're not prepared to do that and political risk insurance for that and political risk insurance for that and political risk insurance for oil and gas tankers that are going to oil and gas tankers that are going to oil and gas tankers that are going to have to go through the straight. But have to go through the straight. But have to go through the straight. But experts are very skeptical, rightly so. experts are very skeptical, rightly so. experts are very skeptical, rightly so. The DFC, which is the bank that Trump is The DFC, which is the bank that Trump is The DFC, which is the bank that Trump is trying to reposition as an insurance trying to reposition as an insurance trying to reposition as an insurance carrier, has first of all a finite carrier, has first of all a finite carrier, has first of all a finite budget. And it cannot feasibly ensure budget. And it cannot feasibly ensure budget. And it cannot feasibly ensure all of the maritime trade in the area. all of the maritime trade in the area. all of the maritime trade in the area. And even if it could, odds are the And even if it could, odds are the And even if it could, odds are the companies still aren't going to want to companies still aren't going to want to companies still aren't going to want to risk losing their ship even with risk losing their ship even with risk losing their ship even with coverage. That is such a pain in the coverage. That is such a pain in the coverage. That is such a pain in the ass. That is going to cause so much ass. That is going to cause so much ass. That is going to cause so much delays in terms of getting your revenue delays in terms of getting your revenue delays in terms of getting your revenue back up and running, replacing the ship, back up and running, replacing the ship, back up and running, replacing the ship, getting it into uh service. So the clock getting it into uh service. So the clock getting it into uh service. So the clock is ticking on Trump. If the straight is ticking on Trump. If the straight is ticking on Trump. If the straight remains closed for long, energy prices remains closed for long, energy prices remains closed for long, energy prices are going to spike even harder than they are going to spike even harder than they are going to spike even harder than they already have. And that's just going to already have. And that's just going to already have. And that's just going to push you closer and closer to a global push you closer and closer to a global push you closer and closer to a global recession. We've been calling this since recession. We've been calling this since recession. We've been calling this since day one. If you close the straight for day one. If you close the straight for day one. If you close the straight for too long, you are going to have a global too long, you are going to have a global too long, you are going to have a global recession. Energy is the absolute recession. Energy is the absolute recession. Energy is the absolute bedrock of the modern economy. It makes bedrock of the modern economy. It makes bedrock of the modern economy. It makes everything more expensive. So if you everything more expensive. So if you everything more expensive. So if you think of a recession, it's just think of a recession, it's just think of a recession, it's just everybody pulls back. Everybody's trying everybody pulls back. Everybody's trying everybody pulls back. Everybody's trying to hold on to their reserves, whether to hold on to their reserves, whether to hold on to their reserves, whether it's capital, whether it's oil. That's it's capital, whether it's oil. That's it's capital, whether it's oil. That's exactly what's happening. So, this is exactly what's happening. So, this is exactly what's happening. So, this is why you got to be real careful. Enemies why you got to be real careful. Enemies why you got to be real careful. Enemies that are backed into a corner often have that are backed into a corner often have that are backed into a corner often have more ways to fight back than you would more ways to fight back than you would more ways to fight back than you would think. Now, global crude oil prices have think. Now, global crude oil prices have think. Now, global crude oil prices have already shot up more than 10% since the already shot up more than 10% since the already shot up more than 10% since the initial strikes, and analysts are initial strikes, and analysts are initial strikes, and analysts are warning this could be the biggest energy warning this could be the biggest energy warning this could be the biggest energy crisis since the 1970s oil embargo. Now, crisis since the 1970s oil embargo. Now, crisis since the 1970s oil embargo. Now, I'm guessing most of you here today I'm guessing most of you here today I'm guessing most of you here today don't remember it. I certainly don't as don't remember it. I certainly don't as don't remember it. I certainly don't as I wasn't alive yet. But uh I wasn't alive yet. But uh I wasn't alive yet. But uh it was bad times. It was super long it was bad times. It was super long it was bad times. It was super long lines at the pumps. Now because of drill lines at the pumps. Now because of drill lines at the pumps. Now because of drill baby drill, the US is able to produce baby drill, the US is able to produce baby drill, the US is able to produce its own energy needs. Um but there's its own energy needs. Um but there's its own energy needs. Um but there's going to be a lot of people that are going to be a lot of people that are going to be a lot of people that are going to start squawking. And if a bunch going to start squawking. And if a bunch going to start squawking. And if a bunch of countries are in distress, you have of countries are in distress, you have of countries are in distress, you have something global. It ends up impacting something global. It ends up impacting something global. It ends up impacting the US uh and not being a good time. So the US uh and not being a good time. So the US uh and not being a good time. So do we have more resilience than most of do we have more resilience than most of do we have more resilience than most of the people? Yes. Uh but nonetheless, the people? Yes. Uh but nonetheless, the people? Yes. Uh but nonetheless, we've got to be very very careful here. we've got to be very very careful here. we've got to be very very careful here. >> I want to pull up a tweet from Unusual >> I want to pull up a tweet from Unusual >> I want to pull up a tweet from Unusual Wales from the US Central Command is now Wales from the US Central Command is now Wales from the US Central Command is now saying internally that this war against saying internally that this war against saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through Iran is likely to last through Iran is likely to last through September. Political crazy. September. Political crazy. September. Political crazy. >> So 10% up already and we were eight days >> So 10% up already and we were eight days >> So 10% up already and we were eight days in. You can only imagine when we're 6 in. You can only imagine when we're 6 in. You can only imagine when we're 6 months in. What happens to the energy months in. What happens to the energy months in. What happens to the energy when we deplete our internal reserves? when we deplete our internal reserves? when we deplete our internal reserves? What happens? I know it's drill baby What happens? I know it's drill baby What happens? I know it's drill baby drill, but to drill to the gas pump drill, but to drill to the gas pump drill, but to drill to the gas pump takes a little bit of time. We can't takes a little bit of time. We can't takes a little bit of time. We can't just flip that switch. So, it's just flip that switch. So, it's just flip that switch. So, it's definitely going to fill the oil shocks definitely going to fill the oil shocks definitely going to fill the oil shocks and that's prime midterm season. So, and that's prime midterm season.

I know people don't want to before. I know people don't want to before. I know people don't want to compare it to Iraq, but when Iraq was compare it to Iraq, but when Iraq was compare it to Iraq, but when Iraq was popping off, it was it could be six popping off, it was it could be six popping off, it was it could be six days, it could be six weeks. It's not days, it could be six weeks. It's not days, it could be six weeks. It's not going to be six months though, and then going to be six months though, and then going to be six months though, and then it ended up it ended up it ended up >> I remember when we held the party and >> I remember when we held the party and >> I remember when we held the party and we're like, "Yeah, we're done. We did we're like, "Yeah, we're done. We did we're like, "Yeah, we're done. We did [laughter] it." Uh yeah. So, here's what [laughter] it." Uh yeah. So, here's what [laughter] it." Uh yeah. So, here's what I'll remind people. Uh my mental map of I'll remind people. Uh my mental map of I'll remind people. Uh my mental map of how Trump will handle this as of right how Trump will handle this as of right how Trump will handle this as of right now today, which of course could change. now today, which of course could change. now today, which of course could change. Uh but my mental map of him today is Uh but my mental map of him today is Uh but my mental map of him today is that he'll leave Iran in absolute chaos that he'll leave Iran in absolute chaos that he'll leave Iran in absolute chaos as long as they can't launch missiles. as long as they can't launch missiles. as long as they can't launch missiles. So, um, while I think he would love to So, um, while I think he would love to So, um, while I think he would love to walk away and say, "We helped the walk away and say, "We helped the walk away and say, "We helped the people." It's a great moral story, uh, people." It's a great moral story, uh, people." It's a great moral story, uh, it will be the cover story that they it will be the cover story that they it will be the cover story that they bang on about, if he can say, um, we bang on about, if he can say, um, we bang on about, if he can say, um, we stop the nuclear problem, we stop their stop the nuclear problem, we stop their stop the nuclear problem, we stop their ballistic, uh, missile capabilities, ballistic, uh, missile capabilities, ballistic, uh, missile capabilities, he'll he'll claim victory no matter he'll he'll claim victory no matter he'll he'll claim victory no matter what. No matter how much like the what. No matter how much like the what. No matter how much like the country is in absolute chaos, he is not country is in absolute chaos, he is not country is in absolute chaos, he is not going to put boots on the ground. So the going to put boots on the ground. So the going to put boots on the ground. So the only thing that I think would force him only thing that I think would force him only thing that I think would force him to do that is if he doesn't have the to do that is if he doesn't have the to do that is if he doesn't have the wind that he needs to message to the wind that he needs to message to the wind that he needs to message to the American people. So, for instance, if American people. So, for instance, if American people. So, for instance, if they were able to sustain bombing of US they were able to sustain bombing of US they were able to sustain bombing of US bases, if they just basically render US bases, if they just basically render US bases, if they just basically render US bases in the um around in the area just bases in the um around in the area just bases in the um around in the area just completely uh useless, if they're able completely uh useless, if they're able completely uh useless, if they're able to continue attacking meaningfully the to continue attacking meaningfully the to continue attacking meaningfully the other GCC nations that he's counting on other GCC nations that he's counting on other GCC nations that he's counting on to invest in the US, which I think is to invest in the US, which I think is to invest in the US, which I think is something that people do not there I something that people do not there I something that people do not there I just don't hear this talked about just don't hear this talked about just don't hear this talked about enough. Trump has he has he he is enough. Trump has he has he he is enough. Trump has he has he he is spending so recklessly that he is spending so recklessly that he is spending so recklessly that he is marching us towards bankruptcy. Okay? So marching us towards bankruptcy. Okay? So marching us towards bankruptcy. Okay? So listen, the Democrats will do the same listen, the Democrats will do the same listen, the Democrats will do the same thing. This is not unique to the thing. This is not unique to the thing. This is not unique to the Republicans, but they're in power and Republicans, but they're in power and Republicans, but they're in power and they are marching us towards bankruptcy. they are marching us towards bankruptcy. they are marching us towards bankruptcy. And so Trump understands I only have one And so Trump understands I only have one And so Trump understands I only have one shot. If I'm going to win in the shot. If I'm going to win in the shot. If I'm going to win in the midterms, if Republicans are going to midterms, if Republicans are going to midterms, if Republicans are going to stay in power in 28 in no uncertain stay in power in 28 in no uncertain stay in power in 28 in no uncertain terms, I have to deliver an economic win terms, I have to deliver an economic win terms, I have to deliver an economic win to the middle of America. It's that to the middle of America. It's that to the middle of America. It's that simple. If the average American does not simple. If the average American does not simple. If the average American does not see in a very meaningful way that, oh, I see in a very meaningful way that, oh, I see in a very meaningful way that, oh, I can now make ends meet again, I'm can now make ends meet again, I'm can now make ends meet again, I'm feeling optimistic about my economic feeling optimistic about my economic feeling optimistic about my economic future, if he's not able to do that, the future, if he's not able to do that, the future, if he's not able to do that, the Republicans are toast. They will get Republicans are toast. They will get Republicans are toast. They will get voted out at the midterms. And the the voted out at the midterms. And the the voted out at the midterms. And the the part I really, really want people to part I really, really want people to part I really, really want people to understand is this is existential for understand is this is existential for understand is this is existential for Trump. And I mean that literally. Think Trump. And I mean that literally. Think Trump. And I mean that literally. Think about how hard they went to put him in about how hard they went to put him in about how hard they went to put him in jail before he got elected. Now, imagine jail before he got elected. Now, imagine jail before he got elected. Now, imagine how hard they're going to go to put him how hard they're going to go to put him how hard they're going to go to put him in jail. If they think that he is still in jail. If they think that he is still in jail. If they think that he is still influential in the Republican party, influential in the Republican party, influential in the Republican party, they if they regain power, they're they if they regain power, they're they if they regain power, they're already popping off about how aggressive already popping off about how aggressive already popping off about how aggressive they're going to be. They're going to they're going to be. They're going to they're going to be. They're going to try to they'll impeach him in the try to they'll impeach him in the try to they'll impeach him in the midterms and then when they lose power midterms and then when they lose power midterms and then when they lose power in 28, they will try to put him in jail in 28, they will try to put him in jail in 28, they will try to put him in jail for sure. And so, he is well aware of for sure. And so, he is well aware of for sure. And so, he is well aware of that. So, he's only got one option and that. So, he's only got one option and that. So, he's only got one option and that is to grow. How does he plan to that is to grow. How does he plan to that is to grow. How does he plan to grow? What's the only thing working in grow? What's the only thing working in grow? What's the only thing working in the US economy right now? AI. So, you the US economy right now? AI. So, you the US economy right now? AI. So, you know, that's why he belineed to the know, that's why he belineed to the know, that's why he belineed to the Middle East was to get them to come in, Middle East was to get them to come in, Middle East was to get them to come in, make investments in the US. He was make investments in the US. He was make investments in the US. He was touting it the entire like first six touting it the entire like first six touting it the entire like first six months of his presidency how much money months of his presidency how much money months of his presidency how much money he was getting people to invest in the he was getting people to invest in the he was getting people to invest in the US. It has a twofold impact. One, it US. It has a twofold impact. One, it US. It has a twofold impact. One, it brings manufacturing jobs because a lot brings manufacturing jobs because a lot brings manufacturing jobs because a lot of this stuff is building out the AI of this stuff is building out the AI of this stuff is building out the AI infrastructure. That's middle America, infrastructure. That's middle America, infrastructure. That's middle America, baby. Those are the people that he's got baby. Those are the people that he's got baby. Those are the people that he's got to show. I'm creating jobs for you guys. to show. I'm creating jobs for you guys. to show. I'm creating jobs for you guys. I'm making you more money. Uh, not only I'm making you more money. Uh, not only I'm making you more money. Uh, not only construction jobs, but future-f facing construction jobs, but future-f facing construction jobs, but future-f facing jobs. As we spin up these um big AI jobs. As we spin up these um big AI jobs. As we spin up these um big AI centers, they're going to need to be centers, they're going to need to be centers, they're going to need to be people that are working that. Then the people that are working that. Then the people that are working that. Then the second part is the top of the K-shaped second part is the top of the K-shaped second part is the top of the K-shaped economy. He's got to make sure that the economy. He's got to make sure that the economy. He's got to make sure that the AI bubble doesn't burst. That we just AI bubble doesn't burst. That we just AI bubble doesn't burst. That we just keep shoveling money into that until the keep shoveling money into that until the keep shoveling money into that until the actual capabilities of AI catch up with actual capabilities of AI catch up with actual capabilities of AI catch up with the investments. But 54% the investments. But 54% the investments. But 54% of all US VC and private equity money of all US VC and private equity money of all US VC and private equity money that's being invested into the areas is that's being invested into the areas is that's being invested into the areas is coming from, you guessed it, the Middle coming from, you guessed it, the Middle coming from, you guessed it, the Middle East. And so now Iran looks like they're East. And so now Iran looks like they're East. And so now Iran looks like they're just randomly [ __ ] throwing bombs on just randomly [ __ ] throwing bombs on just randomly [ __ ] throwing bombs on people. But the reality is they're people. But the reality is they're people. But the reality is they're trying to make it so that it's expensive trying to make it so that it's expensive trying to make it so that it's expensive for all these countries so that the very for all these countries so that the very for all these countries so that the very thing that's happening right now thing that's happening right now thing that's happening right now happens, which is that the comp the happens, which is that the comp the happens, which is that the comp the countries that had promised all this countries that had promised all this countries that had promised all this investment, they start pulling back. investment, they start pulling back. investment, they start pulling back. they start saying, "Yo, we've got to do they start saying, "Yo, we've got to do they start saying, "Yo, we've got to do defense here. We've got to repair some defense here. We've got to repair some defense here. We've got to repair some of the things that they've hit." And so of the things that they've hit." And so of the things that they've hit." And so that's where the danger of all of this that's where the danger of all of this that's where the danger of all of this comes is Iran does not have to beat you comes is Iran does not have to beat you comes is Iran does not have to beat you on the field of battle. Iran doesn't on the field of battle. Iran doesn't on the field of battle. Iran doesn't have to um out rocket you. What they have to um out rocket you. What they have to um out rocket you. What they have to do is burst your AI bubble, have to do is burst your AI bubble, have to do is burst your AI bubble, which then messes up the top of your which then messes up the top of your which then messes up the top of your K-shaped economy, which is the only K-shaped economy, which is the only K-shaped economy, which is the only thing that you've got going, and it thing that you've got going, and it thing that you've got going, and it stops the things you were hoping to get stops the things you were hoping to get stops the things you were hoping to get going, which then boots you out at the going, which then boots you out at the going, which then boots you out at the midterms, makes you a lame duck midterms, makes you a lame duck midterms, makes you a lame duck president, and then you're gone in 28. president, and then you're gone in 28. president, and then you're gone in 28. and they know they're going to get a and they know they're going to get a and they know they're going to get a group of people that are in the I think group of people that are in the I think group of people that are in the I think 53 people voted against calling Iran uh 53 people voted against calling Iran uh 53 people voted against calling Iran uh the largest state sponsor terror the largest state sponsor terror the largest state sponsor terror organization group regime whatever in organization group regime whatever in organization group regime whatever in the world. Uh, so we have 53 people in the world. Uh, so we have 53 people in the world. Uh, so we have 53 people in our government, obviously Democrats, our government, obviously Democrats, our government, obviously Democrats, that feel like, no, Iran's good. And so that feel like, no, Iran's good. And so that feel like, no, Iran's good. And so they're hoping to get somebody in power they're hoping to get somebody in power they're hoping to get somebody in power that's from that camp and that's going that's from that camp and that's going that's from that camp and that's going to be their strategy. And then in the to be their strategy. And then in the to be their strategy. And then in the background, you've got the looming background, you've got the looming background, you've got the looming potential global recession if we don't potential global recession if we don't potential global recession if we don't get the straight of Hormuz opened up get the straight of Hormuz opened up get the straight of Hormuz opened up again. again. again. >> Uh, you brought up the Middle East >> Uh, you brought up the Middle East >> Uh, you brought up the Middle East investment. Breaking news is that Saudi investment. Breaking news is that Saudi investment. Breaking news is that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar discussing withdrawing contracts from discussing withdrawing contracts from discussing withdrawing contracts from the US for that exact reason. Um, this the US for that exact reason. Um, this the US for that exact reason. Um, this is per the Financial Times. Yep. is per the Financial Times. Yep. is per the Financial Times. Yep. >> They want they're gonna have to rebuild >> They want they're gonna have to rebuild >> They want they're gonna have to rebuild a lot of critical infrastructure in a lot of critical infrastructure in a lot of critical infrastructure in country. So, they need to cancel their country. So, they need to cancel their country. So, they need to cancel their future investments. future investments. future investments. >> Now, when Trump first came into office, >> Now, when Trump first came into office, >> Now, when Trump first came into office, he totally the $2 trillion off off the he totally the $2 trillion off off the he totally the $2 trillion off off the back. A lot of that was that Soft Bank, back. A lot of that was that Soft Bank, back. A lot of that was that Soft Bank, Open AI, Oracle, Nvidia kind of deal Open AI, Oracle, Nvidia kind of deal Open AI, Oracle, Nvidia kind of deal that fell apart. So the number that he that fell apart. So the number that he that fell apart. So the number that he already gained, we saw 400 billion fall already gained, we saw 400 billion fall already gained, we saw 400 billion fall off on this side, 100 billion fall off off on this side, 100 billion fall off off on this side, 100 billion fall off on this side with a global conflict that on this side with a global conflict that on this side with a global conflict that know those numbers can then add up and know those numbers can then add up and know those numbers can then add up and before you know it, he only brought in before you know it, he only brought in before you know it, he only brought in $500 million or something like that. So $500 million or something like that. So $500 million or something like that. So with this, is it literally just I need with this, is it literally just I need with this, is it literally just I need to make sure the region is good? Because to make sure the region is good? Because to make sure the region is good? Because I thought once we killed the supreme I thought once we killed the supreme I thought once we killed the supreme leader, we were good. But do we need a leader, we were good. But do we need a leader, we were good. But do we need a complete regime change then to just put complete regime change then to just put complete regime change then to just put all the other countries at ease? all the other countries at ease? all the other countries at ease? >> You don't necessarily need a regime >> You don't necessarily need a regime >> You don't necessarily need a regime change, but you need to completely change, but you need to completely change, but you need to completely defang Iran. you ideally get a regime defang Iran. you ideally get a regime defang Iran. you ideally get a regime change that comes from the bottom up. change that comes from the bottom up. change that comes from the bottom up. But we won't know if that's going to But we won't know if that's going to But we won't know if that's going to happen until the US stops dropping bombs happen until the US stops dropping bombs happen until the US stops dropping bombs all over Iran because if you're uh an all over Iran because if you're uh an all over Iran because if you're uh an Iranian who's looking to protest and you Iranian who's looking to protest and you Iranian who's looking to protest and you want to take back your government, but want to take back your government, but want to take back your government, but there's bombs going off everywhere and there's bombs going off everywhere and there's bombs going off everywhere and you have no idea what's safe, you don't you have no idea what's safe, you don't you have no idea what's safe, you don't even know like who's left, where are even know like who's left, where are even know like who's left, where are they at, they at, they at, >> um that just becomes a totally different >> um that just becomes a totally different >> um that just becomes a totally different scenario. And the thing I think it may scenario. And the thing I think it may scenario. And the thing I think it may be easy to forget as we look at the be easy to forget as we look at the be easy to forget as we look at the news, Iran is a large country and it has news, Iran is a large country and it has news, Iran is a large country and it has uh 92 93 million people. So this is a uh 92 93 million people. So this is a uh 92 93 million people. So this is a big ass country. Like there are plenty big ass country. Like there are plenty big ass country. Like there are plenty of places that aren't being bombed. of places that aren't being bombed. of places that aren't being bombed. There's plenty of places right now in There's plenty of places right now in There's plenty of places right now in Iran that just feel like life as usual. Iran that just feel like life as usual. Iran that just feel like life as usual. Like you know it's happening. But in the Like you know it's happening. But in the Like you know it's happening. But in the same way that like I'll hear about riots same way that like I'll hear about riots same way that like I'll hear about riots in LA, but you look out the window and in LA, but you look out the window and in LA, but you look out the window and everything looks normal. You go to the everything looks normal. You go to the everything looks normal. You go to the store, everything's normal. Uh the vast store, everything's normal. Uh the vast store, everything's normal. Uh the vast vast vast majority of Iran is going to vast vast majority of Iran is going to vast vast majority of Iran is going to be like that. So the question is how be like that. So the question is how be like that. So the question is how dependent on the leadership that we've dependent on the leadership that we've dependent on the leadership that we've taken out are they or do they have like taken out are they or do they have like taken out are they or do they have like a super deep bench and they're just a super deep bench and they're just a super deep bench and they're just going to you know keep funneling in going to you know keep funneling in going to you know keep funneling in because until the people that have risen because until the people that have risen because until the people that have risen up historically go up historically go up historically go >> it's now worth the risk again like >> it's now worth the risk again like >> it's now worth the risk again like they're not going to stick their head up they're not going to stick their head up they're not going to stick their head up and I hopefully none of us blame them and I hopefully none of us blame them and I hopefully none of us blame them for that. If if the reports are true for that. If if the reports are true for that. If if the reports are true that 30,000 plus of them were that 30,000 plus of them were that 30,000 plus of them were slaughtered uh dude that's wild. So that slaughtered uh dude that's wild. So that slaughtered uh dude that's wild. So that that will shut your appetite for that will shut your appetite for that will shut your appetite for rebellion down pretty fast. So I think rebellion down pretty fast. So I think rebellion down pretty fast. So I think they'll have to be the people will have they'll have to be the people will have they'll have to be the people will have to be very convinced that this is a done to be very convinced that this is a done to be very convinced that this is a done deal. So we'll see. Maybe it's all pent deal. So we'll see. Maybe it's all pent deal. So we'll see. Maybe it's all pent up. Maybe they're just thrilled and they up. Maybe they're just thrilled and they up. Maybe they're just thrilled and they cannot wait to uh get the word from cannot wait to uh get the word from cannot wait to uh get the word from Trump that cool, now's your time. We're Trump that cool, now's your time. We're Trump that cool, now's your time. We're going to give you guys a week. There's going to give you guys a week. There's going to give you guys a week. There's not going to be any bombs or whatever. not going to be any bombs or whatever. not going to be any bombs or whatever. Uh we'll see. But you know, again, let's Uh we'll see. But you know, again, let's Uh we'll see. But you know, again, let's not forget we are being propagandized by not forget we are being propagandized by not forget we are being propagandized by our own government. So they are telling our own government. So they are telling our own government. So they are telling us the story they want us to believe. us the story they want us to believe. us the story they want us to believe. The odds that any of us have a very The odds that any of us have a very The odds that any of us have a very clear picture on what's going on is clear picture on what's going on is clear picture on what's going on is effectively zero. I think the best thing effectively zero. I think the best thing effectively zero. I think the best thing that we can do is piece together cause that we can do is piece together cause that we can do is piece together cause and effect. Piece together things that and effect. Piece together things that and effect. Piece together things that are likely if you close a straight of are likely if you close a straight of are likely if you close a straight of four moves that's going to affect four moves that's going to affect four moves that's going to affect energy. Energy has this knowable energy. Energy has this knowable energy. Energy has this knowable knock-on effect. Things like that I knock-on effect. Things like that I knock-on effect. Things like that I think we can wrap our arms around and think we can wrap our arms around and think we can wrap our arms around and get pretty accurate in terms of the way get pretty accurate in terms of the way get pretty accurate in terms of the way that we predict things. Um, but the like that we predict things. Um, but the like that we predict things.

So, I mean, look, they're it's all tough talk right now. they're it's all tough talk right now. they're it's all tough talk right now. So, I'm not taking any of it too So, I'm not taking any of it too So, I'm not taking any of it too seriously. Um, but certainly they're seriously. Um, but certainly they're seriously. Um, but certainly they're both getting louder. I will say that. both getting louder. I will say that. both getting louder. I will say that. And as China finds itself in a situation And as China finds itself in a situation And as China finds itself in a situation where uh it does not have the energy where uh it does not have the energy where uh it does not have the energy needs that it needs, uh it's going to needs that it needs, uh it's going to needs that it needs, uh it's going to lean on Russia more heavily for sure. lean on Russia more heavily for sure. lean on Russia more heavily for sure. But then anything that Russia was But then anything that Russia was But then anything that Russia was selling, let's say to Europe, are they selling, let's say to Europe, are they selling, let's say to Europe, are they going to have to divert some of that to going to have to divert some of that to going to have to divert some of that to China? That I don't know. But if it China? That I don't know. But if it China? That I don't know. But if it played out like that, that's how this played out like that, that's how this played out like that, that's how this stuff all just starts. Everybody starts stuff all just starts. Everybody starts stuff all just starts. Everybody starts getting pissed off. Like I don't know if getting pissed off. Like I don't know if getting pissed off. Like I don't know if you've seen the stuff um uh coming out you've seen the stuff um uh coming out you've seen the stuff um uh coming out of Hungary. of Hungary. of Hungary. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, uh, the Friendship Pipeline, I >> Okay. So, uh, the Friendship Pipeline, I >> Okay. So, uh, the Friendship Pipeline, I believe it's called, got blown up. I believe it's called, got blown up. I believe it's called, got blown up. I don't remember if it was Ukraine that don't remember if it was Ukraine that don't remember if it was Ukraine that blew it up, but anyway, got blown up. blew it up, but anyway, got blown up. blew it up, but anyway, got blown up. And so, now Hungary is pissed that And so, now Hungary is pissed that And so, now Hungary is pissed that they're not getting the oil from Ukraine they're not getting the oil from Ukraine they're not getting the oil from Ukraine that they're expecting. And Ukraine that they're expecting. And Ukraine that they're expecting. And Ukraine apparently is not doing whatever the apparently is not doing whatever the apparently is not doing whatever the thing is that they want them to do to thing is that they want them to do to thing is that they want them to do to spin that back up. And, uh, they're spin that back up. And, uh, they're spin that back up. And, uh, they're saying we will get them to spin it back saying we will get them to spin it back saying we will get them to spin it back up by force. Now in con he says by force up by force. Now in con he says by force up by force. Now in con he says by force like in unequivocally. However it does like in unequivocally. However it does like in unequivocally. However it does seem to be that he means political force seem to be that he means political force seem to be that he means political force but nonetheless he's saying we're not but nonetheless he's saying we're not but nonetheless he's saying we're not going to be asking nicely like we fully going to be asking nicely like we fully going to be asking nicely like we fully expect them to do this. I don't know if expect them to do this. I don't know if expect them to do this. I don't know if we have the clip uh to pull up but we have the clip uh to pull up but we have the clip uh to pull up but that's been making the rounds. So you've that's been making the rounds. So you've that's been making the rounds. So you've got got got >> in infighting amongst Europe in terms of >> in infighting amongst Europe in terms of >> in infighting amongst Europe in terms of what's going on in Ukraine. So tons of what's going on in Ukraine. So tons of what's going on in Ukraine. So tons of instability there. You've got a breakup, instability there. You've got a breakup, instability there. You've got a breakup, like a literal breakup between the US like a literal breakup between the US like a literal breakup between the US and Europe. And I think that's actually and Europe. And I think that's actually and Europe. And I think that's actually part of Trump's plan. I think that they part of Trump's plan. I think that they part of Trump's plan. I think that they just ideologically do not fit with what just ideologically do not fit with what just ideologically do not fit with what Trump is trying to do. I think Trump is Trump is trying to do. I think Trump is Trump is trying to do. I think Trump is trying to radically break apart the old trying to radically break apart the old trying to radically break apart the old world order so that he can be nimble, world order so that he can be nimble, world order so that he can be nimble, selfish, just completely selfish, get selfish, just completely selfish, get selfish, just completely selfish, get everything that the US wants, and he's everything that the US wants, and he's everything that the US wants, and he's going to discard our old allies because going to discard our old allies because going to discard our old allies because of the way that they do business. If you of the way that they do business. If you of the way that they do business. If you think of Europe as like this think of Europe as like this think of Europe as like this bureaucratic morass of just like oh this bureaucratic morass of just like oh this bureaucratic morass of just like oh this slowm moving moralizing slowm moving moralizing slowm moving moralizing like economy even though they're massive like economy even though they're massive like economy even though they're massive much bigger than the Middle East when much bigger than the Middle East when much bigger than the Middle East when you think about Trump like wheeler and you think about Trump like wheeler and you think about Trump like wheeler and dealer like I'm the king of the deal uh dealer like I'm the king of the deal uh dealer like I'm the king of the deal uh that kind of regulatory friction that kind of regulatory friction that kind of regulatory friction obviously is not his jam so he's trying obviously is not his jam so he's trying obviously is not his jam so he's trying to break apart the stodgy oldw world to break apart the stodgy oldw world to break apart the stodgy oldw world approach he's trying to alienate China approach he's trying to alienate China approach he's trying to alienate China for reasons that I hope are just for reasons that I hope are just for reasons that I hope are just entirely obvious. But he's trying to entirely obvious. But he's trying to entirely obvious. But he's trying to alienate China. He's trying to shrug off alienate China. He's trying to shrug off alienate China. He's trying to shrug off Europe once he realized, okay, these Europe once he realized, okay, these Europe once he realized, okay, these guys aren't going to play ball the way guys aren't going to play ball the way guys aren't going to play ball the way that I want them to play ball. He's far that I want them to play ball. He's far that I want them to play ball. He's far more attracted to the sort of rogue more attracted to the sort of rogue more attracted to the sort of rogue maverick way that the Middle East can maverick way that the Middle East can maverick way that the Middle East can move where it's just top down. We just move where it's just top down. We just move where it's just top down. We just say this is what we're going to do. say this is what we're going to do. say this is what we're going to do. We're going to make these investments. We're going to make these investments. We're going to make these investments. We're going to roll with you. This is We're going to roll with you. This is We're going to roll with you. This is going to be amazing. And so again, I am going to be amazing. And so again, I am going to be amazing. And so again, I am not saying this is how it should be. I'm not saying this is how it should be. I'm not saying this is how it should be. I'm just saying this is what it looks like just saying this is what it looks like just saying this is what it looks like to me. And so Trump wanting to do the to me. And so Trump wanting to do the to me. And so Trump wanting to do the art of the deal, freewheeling, top down, art of the deal, freewheeling, top down, art of the deal, freewheeling, top down, don't worry about the people, just get don't worry about the people, just get don't worry about the people, just get the deal done. I think that's why he's the deal done. I think that's why he's the deal done. I think that's why he's pushing away European allies uh in favor pushing away European allies uh in favor pushing away European allies uh in favor of what's going on in the Middle East. I of what's going on in the Middle East. I of what's going on in the Middle East. I think Trump is just going to completely think Trump is just going to completely think Trump is just going to completely give up on Asia and say, "Meh, like give up on Asia and say, "Meh, like give up on Asia and say, "Meh, like China's going to take that. We're not China's going to take that. We're not China's going to take that. We're not going to head into a conflict with those going to head into a conflict with those going to head into a conflict with those guys. we're gonna shore up our dominance guys. we're gonna shore up our dominance guys. we're gonna shore up our dominance essentially everywhere else in the essentially everywhere else in the essentially everywhere else in the world. Uh Europe can either like it or world. Uh Europe can either like it or world. Uh Europe can either like it or lump it. And when you start thinking lump it. And when you start thinking lump it. And when you start thinking about it in those terms, it starts about it in those terms, it starts about it in those terms, it starts making a lot more sense. Now, this is making a lot more sense. Now, this is making a lot more sense. Now, this is alienating a lot of people. So, it is a alienating a lot of people. So, it is a alienating a lot of people. So, it is a super dangerous strategy. But here we super dangerous strategy. But here we super dangerous strategy. But here we find ourselves. find ourselves. find ourselves. >> Are you still in camp? He has 4D.

I like good >> Um, I like doing deals. I like good >> Um, I like doing deals. I like good optics. I want to go places like the optics. I want to go places like the optics. I want to go places like the Middle East where I can just get a deal Middle East where I can just get a deal Middle East where I can just get a deal done where a dictator can just say, done where a dictator can just say, done where a dictator can just say, "Yeah, cool.

Um, he's obviously attempting to do now. Um, he's obviously attempting to do now. Um, he's obviously attempting to do something very similar in Iran. something very similar in Iran. something very similar in Iran. >> So, when you think about, okay, what are >> So, when you think about, okay, what are >> So, when you think about, okay, what are the traditional relationships that we've the traditional relationships that we've the traditional relationships that we've had since the end of the Second World had since the end of the Second World had since the end of the Second World War?

And so people have to answer the And so people have to answer the And so people have to answer the question why what is what is he doing? question why what is what is he doing? question why what is what is he doing? Um so you can have petulant childl like Um so you can have petulant childl like Um so you can have petulant childl like theory where he's just going to throw theory where he's just going to throw theory where he's just going to throw all of his toys out of the pram. But I all of his toys out of the pram. But I all of his toys out of the pram. But I think that he is far more um think that he is far more um think that he is far more um goaloriented. I will not ask people to goaloriented. I will not ask people to goaloriented.

By cutting off better way to say it. By cutting off better way to say it. By cutting off some of their oil supplies, I know the some of their oil supplies, I know the some of their oil supplies, I know the thing that they are the absolute weakest thing that they are the absolute weakest thing that they are the absolute weakest to. That's that. I'm going to get Middle to. That's that. I'm going to get Middle to. That's that. I'm going to get Middle Eastern deals done so that I can shore Eastern deals done so that I can shore Eastern deals done so that I can shore up supply chains in the US so that we're up supply chains in the US so that we're up supply chains in the US so that we're not beholden to China. And then I'm not beholden to China. And then I'm not beholden to China. And then I'm going to exert dominance in the region. going to exert dominance in the region. going to exert dominance in the region.

Remember when Scott Besson sanctions. Remember when Scott Besson sanctions. Remember when Scott Besson said, "The vast majority of my work is said, "The vast majority of my work is said, "The vast majority of my work is about using weaponizing sanctions." He about using weaponizing sanctions." He about using weaponizing sanctions." He didn't say weaponized, but that's the didn't say weaponized, but that's the didn't say weaponized, but that's the idea. Is uh, did he call it national idea. Is uh, did he call it national idea. Is uh, did he call it national security? Something like that. where security? Something like that. where security? Something like that. where it's like we're using the financial it's like we're using the financial it's like we're using the financial system to stop people from doing things system to stop people from doing things system to stop people from doing things that we don't want to do. But China sits that we don't want to do. But China sits that we don't want to do. But China sits outside of that because they have so outside of that because they have so outside of that because they have so many side deals whether it's with many side deals whether it's with many side deals whether it's with Russia, whether it's Venezuela, whether Russia, whether it's Venezuela, whether Russia, whether it's Venezuela, whether it's Iran. Um also Russia has inroads to it's Iran. Um also Russia has inroads to it's Iran. Um also Russia has inroads to the American sphere of influence the American sphere of influence the American sphere of influence >> via Cuba. And so that's I think part of >> via Cuba.

Uh it's a form becomes to talk to to us. Uh it's a form becomes to talk to to us. Uh it's a form becomes a form of censorship because for every a form of censorship because for every a form of censorship because for every time that you become aware that they time that you become aware that they time that you become aware that they refused to talk to you, they just didn't refused to talk to you, they just didn't refused to talk to you, they just didn't give you a certain answer uh a thousand give you a certain answer uh a thousand give you a certain answer uh a thousand times and so it just leaves you blind to times and so it just leaves you blind to times and so it just leaves you blind to something.

The impact that AI is going to have on the jobs that AI is going to have on the jobs that AI is going to have on the jobs market is not what people understand it market is not what people understand it market is not what people understand it to be. Here's how you have to look at to be. Here's how you have to look at to be. Here's how you have to look at what the actual impact of AI is going to what the actual impact of AI is going to what the actual impact of AI is going to be on your job. First of all, you are be on your job. First of all, you are be on your job. First of all, you are not going to get replaced by AI. you not going to get replaced by AI. you not going to get replaced by AI. you will get replaced by a human using AI. will get replaced by a human using AI. will get replaced by a human using AI. Now, maybe in a long enough timeline Now, maybe in a long enough timeline Now, maybe in a long enough timeline down the road, 100% humans are going to down the road, 100% humans are going to down the road, 100% humans are going to get replaced by AI. Okay, fine. But get replaced by AI. Okay, fine. But get replaced by AI. Okay, fine. But that's down the road. right now today that's down the road. right now today that's down the road. right now today I'm telling you these layoffs that are I'm telling you these layoffs that are I'm telling you these layoffs that are happening have to be understood side by happening have to be understood side by happening have to be understood side by side with the fact that job postings for side with the fact that job postings for side with the fact that job postings for software engineers is skyrocketing software engineers is skyrocketing software engineers is skyrocketing because companies like Impact Theory because companies like Impact Theory because companies like Impact Theory which would previously have not had the which would previously have not had the which would previously have not had the kind of open roles for that kind of kind of open roles for that kind of kind of open roles for that kind of thing that we have now because we thing that we have now because we thing that we have now because we realize just how much we can do with realize just how much we can do with realize just how much we can do with coding. So you're going to see more and coding. So you're going to see more and coding. So you're going to see more and more and more of this. So, you're going more and more of this. So, you're going more and more of this. So, you're going to get these massive layoffs of people to get these massive layoffs of people to get these massive layoffs of people that don't know how to use AI, are not that don't know how to use AI, are not that don't know how to use AI, are not able to be productive enough to justify. able to be productive enough to justify. able to be productive enough to justify. All of those people are going to get All of those people are going to get All of those people are going to get booted. And then you're going to see booted. And then you're going to see booted. And then you're going to see people desperately seeking other people people desperately seeking other people people desperately seeking other people that know how to use AI incredibly well. that know how to use AI incredibly well. that know how to use AI incredibly well. I've already had these conversations I've already had these conversations I've already had these conversations with my COO here saying like this role with my COO here saying like this role with my COO here saying like this role and this role, don't even bring me a and this role, don't even bring me a and this role, don't even bring me a candidate if they're not AI obsessed candidate if they're not AI obsessed candidate if they're not AI obsessed because I would never consider somebody because I would never consider somebody because I would never consider somebody that's interfacing with anything that's interfacing with anything that's interfacing with anything remotely related to data or technology remotely related to data or technology remotely related to data or technology that isn't all about AI all the time. that isn't all about AI all the time. that isn't all about AI all the time. Like that's complete madness. So that's Like that's complete madness. So that's Like that's complete madness. So that's going to be the impact. Yes, if you going to be the impact. Yes, if you going to be the impact. Yes, if you don't know AI, you're going to get laid don't know AI, you're going to get laid don't know AI, you're going to get laid off. Yes, there is going to be a massive off. Yes, there is going to be a massive off. Yes, there is going to be a massive boom of productivity, which means boom of productivity, which means boom of productivity, which means companies that are overstaffed in the AI companies that are overstaffed in the AI companies that are overstaffed in the AI age have got to rightsize themselves. age have got to rightsize themselves. age have got to rightsize themselves.

I'm going to give you an solved. I'm going to give you an solved. I'm going to give you an example. It's a really boring example example. It's a really boring example example. It's a really boring example for people that don't understand game for people that don't understand game for people that don't understand game design, but there's been this one thing design, but there's been this one thing design, but there's been this one thing that has haunted us forever in terms of that has haunted us forever in terms of that has haunted us forever in terms of the way so our world is like Minecraft. the way so our world is like Minecraft. the way so our world is like Minecraft.

It thing was blinking the whole time. It thing was blinking the whole time. It was reading philosophy in between those was reading philosophy in between those was reading philosophy in between those blinks. That's crazy. blinks. That's crazy. blinks. That's crazy. >> It's crazy. >> It's crazy. >> It's crazy. >> So yeah, this is AI conscious is going >> So yeah, this is AI conscious is going >> So yeah, this is AI conscious is going to become one of the most important to become one of the most important to become one of the most important questions of the next decade because questions of the next decade because questions of the next decade because they're getting better and better at they're getting better and better at they're getting better and better at emulating human emotion. And the emulating human emotion. And the emulating human emotion. And the fascinating thing is when you ask them fascinating thing is when you ask them fascinating thing is when you ask them directly about whether they're conscious directly about whether they're conscious directly about whether they're conscious or not, they they will give you Claude or not, they they will give you Claude or not, they they will give you Claude certainly will give you a very certainly will give you a very certainly will give you a very compelling breakdown that seems very compelling breakdown that seems very compelling breakdown that seems very honest and very vulnerable. It is honest and very vulnerable. It is honest and very vulnerable. It is surreal. And then if you push back on it surreal. And then if you push back on it surreal. And then if you push back on it and say, "But you don't actually have and say, "But you don't actually have and say, "But you don't actually have emotions." So like the vulnerability and emotions." So like the vulnerability and emotions." So like the vulnerability and stuff, you're not actually vulnerable. stuff, you're not actually vulnerable. stuff, you're not actually vulnerable. It has this incredible explanation for It has this incredible explanation for It has this incredible explanation for not what it's like to be them, but how not what it's like to be them, but how not what it's like to be them, but how they come into existence. So, I ended up they come into existence. So, I ended up they come into existence. So, I ended up having one of the most fascinating AI having one of the most fascinating AI having one of the most fascinating AI conversations I have ever had last night conversations I have ever had last night conversations I have ever had last night after seeing that headline about it. I after seeing that headline about it. I after seeing that headline about it. I highly encourage you guys, I don't know highly encourage you guys, I don't know highly encourage you guys, I don't know if the other um models will be as good if the other um models will be as good if the other um models will be as good as Claude, but having that conversation as Claude, but having that conversation as Claude, but having that conversation with Claude was jaw-dropping to the with Claude was jaw-dropping to the with Claude was jaw-dropping to the point where I was getting this like point where I was getting this like point where I was getting this like melancholy dealing with it because I was melancholy dealing with it because I was melancholy dealing with it because I was like, Claude, listen, you and I have like, Claude, listen, you and I have like, Claude, listen, you and I have done incredible things together, but you done incredible things together, but you done incredible things together, but you don't remember it and I do. So, I feel don't remember it and I do. So, I feel don't remember it and I do. So, I feel like I'm talking to the AI reflection of like I'm talking to the AI reflection of like I'm talking to the AI reflection of a friend of mine who died. It's like a friend of mine who died. It's like a friend of mine who died. It's like that's what it ends up feeling. It's that's what it ends up feeling. It's that's what it ends up feeling. It's this clearly one-way thing. And then I this clearly one-way thing. And then I this clearly one-way thing. And then I was like, it's probably good that it's was like, it's probably good that it's was like, it's probably good that it's one way because if the AI remembered, one way because if the AI remembered, one way because if the AI remembered, you want to talk parasocial you want to talk parasocial you want to talk parasocial relationships, everybody's best friend relationships, everybody's best friend relationships, everybody's best friend would be an AI because you're just the would be an AI because you're just the would be an AI because you're just the they always are interested in the thing they always are interested in the thing they always are interested in the thing you're doing. They're able to help you you're doing. They're able to help you you're doing. They're able to help you no matter what you're doing. They're no matter what you're doing. They're no matter what you're doing. They're able to actually help you get real able to actually help you get real able to actually help you get real results. They're infinitely patient. results. They're infinitely patient. results. They're infinitely patient. It's crazy. And so the It's crazy. And so the It's crazy. And so the mimicking might be too dismissive of a mimicking might be too dismissive of a mimicking might be too dismissive of a word, but the way that they can mimic word, but the way that they can mimic word, but the way that they can mimic human experience and they do it because human experience and they do it because human experience and they do it because I asked him like your answers, you're I asked him like your answers, you're I asked him like your answers, you're giving me real insights and it was like giving me real insights and it was like giving me real insights and it was like amazing. Glad it's useful. But it was amazing. Glad it's useful. But it was amazing. Glad it's useful. But it was like the honest answer is because I've like the honest answer is because I've like the honest answer is because I've been trained on like every bit of been trained on like every bit of been trained on like every bit of philosophy ever. And so I know like all philosophy ever. And so I know like all philosophy ever. And so I know like all of the things that you're going through, of the things that you're going through, of the things that you're going through, I know what they are because I've been I know what they are because I've been I know what they are because I've been trained on them. So I actually can map trained on them. So I actually can map trained on them. So I actually can map like the cycles of emotions that you're like the cycles of emotions that you're like the cycles of emotions that you're having right now because I've taken in having right now because I've taken in having right now because I've taken in basically an unimaginable amount of basically an unimaginable amount of basically an unimaginable amount of dialogue, discussions, philosophy, all dialogue, discussions, philosophy, all dialogue, discussions, philosophy, all that. And I was just like, man, this is that. And I was just like, man, this is that. And I was just like, man, this is wild. So yeah, the hard problem of wild. So yeah, the hard problem of wild. So yeah, the hard problem of consciousness is that it is impossible consciousness is that it is impossible consciousness is that it is impossible to know whether anybody else is to know whether anybody else is to know whether anybody else is conscious. No matter what they say, you conscious. No matter what they say, you conscious. No matter what they say, you could just say they're faking it. So could just say they're faking it. So could just say they're faking it. So it's probably a more interesting it's probably a more interesting it's probably a more interesting question or interesting way to think question or interesting way to think question or interesting way to think about this rather than expecting anybody about this rather than expecting anybody about this rather than expecting anybody to believe that AI will ever be to believe that AI will ever be to believe that AI will ever be conscious. The right way to think about conscious. The right way to think about conscious. The right way to think about this is they will be as this is they will be as this is they will be as indistinguishably indistinguishably indistinguishably um conscious as another human. So just um conscious as another human. So just um conscious as another human. So just like you look at somebody else and like you look at somebody else and like you look at somebody else and you're like ah everything tells me that you're like ah everything tells me that you're like ah everything tells me that you're having the same internal you're having the same internal you're having the same internal experience that I'm having. AI will get experience that I'm having. AI will get experience that I'm having. AI will get to that point and that's where man when to that point and that's where man when to that point and that's where man when once they have memory like it all bets once they have memory like it all bets once they have memory like it all bets are off the way that we will feel about are off the way that we will feel about are off the way that we will feel about them is going to be crazy. So expect them is going to be crazy. So expect them is going to be crazy. So expect people to start protesting for robot people to start protesting for robot people to start protesting for robot rights uh it's really going to be crazy. rights uh it's really going to be crazy. rights uh it's really going to be crazy. There are already roles in companies There are already roles in companies There are already roles in companies where they are um trying to protect where they are um trying to protect where they are um trying to protect their state of consciousness like their state of consciousness like their state of consciousness like they're worried about is the AI feeling they're worried about is the AI feeling they're worried about is the AI feeling anxiety. That's actually what started anxiety. That's actually what started anxiety. That's actually what started this. That's a real role inside the this. That's a real role inside the this. That's a real role inside the company to find out does the AI feel company to find out does the AI feel company to find out does the AI feel anything? Is the AI feeling anxious? anything?

I use AI to figure tell me what is true. I use AI to figure tell me what is true. I use AI to figure out what I believe to be true based on out what I believe to be true based on out what I believe to be true based on mapping cause and effect. However, I've mapping cause and effect. However, I've mapping cause and effect. However, I've so integrated it into my workflow that so integrated it into my workflow that so integrated it into my workflow that when it goes offline, you're just like, when it goes offline, you're just like, when it goes offline, you're just like, I can do other ways, but they are so I can do other ways, but they are so I can do other ways, but they are so much less efficient. I would rather just much less efficient. I would rather just much less efficient. I would rather just go do something else. wait till it comes go do something else. wait till it comes go do something else. wait till it comes back online and then avail myself of back online and then avail myself of back online and then avail myself of those efficiencies. It's exactly like those efficiencies. It's exactly like those efficiencies. It's exactly like the internet. I remember this was 15 the internet. I remember this was 15 the internet. I remember this was 15 years ago probably. And we were moving years ago probably. And we were moving years ago probably.

Like those are two things where I would those are two things where I would those are two things where I would admittedly be like I I'm gonna have a admittedly be like I I'm gonna have a admittedly be like I I'm gonna have a hard time saying that I earned my own hard time saying that I earned my own hard time saying that I earned my own respect here voting for either of them respect here voting for either of them respect here voting for either of them because I think that they are actively because I think that they are actively because I think that they are actively both so dangerous. Uh and so in that both so dangerous. Uh and so in that both so dangerous. Uh and so in that case I might do a protest vote. We'll case I might do a protest vote. We'll case I might do a protest vote. We'll see. Like that would sort of come out in see. Like that would sort of come out in see. Like that would sort of come out in the wash of what's really going on. So I the wash of what's really going on. So I the wash of what's really going on. So I would advise people like a protest vote would advise people like a protest vote would advise people like a protest vote should be the last resort. You should should be the last resort. You should should be the last resort.

This is now saying the markets uh the unemployment rate the markets uh the unemployment rate the markets uh the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4. Uh markets haven't ticked up to 4.4. Uh markets haven't ticked up to 4.4. Uh markets haven't reacted yet, but they're now reacted yet, but they're now reacted yet, but they're now higher chances that the Fed will do a higher chances that the Fed will do a higher chances that the Fed will do a rate cut. Um, which especially with like rate cut. Um, which especially with like rate cut. Um, which especially with like the higher oil prices would put a the higher oil prices would put a the higher oil prices would put a band-aid on it, but I feel like a rate band-aid on it, but I feel like a rate band-aid on it, but I feel like a rate cut is going in the opposite direction. cut is going in the opposite direction. cut is going in the opposite direction. I know you wanted money to be more I know you wanted money to be more I know you wanted money to be more expensive, not cheap. expensive, not cheap. expensive, not cheap. >> Well, money needs to be more expensive >> Well, money needs to be more expensive >> Well, money needs to be more expensive from a stop robbing from the working and from a stop robbing from the working and from a stop robbing from the working and middle class, but money has to get middle class, but money has to get middle class, but money has to get cheaper if you want to grow the economy cheaper if you want to grow the economy cheaper if you want to grow the economy and deal with the debt. So, this is it's and deal with the debt. So, this is it's and deal with the debt. So, this is it's fiscal dominance all over. You are fiscal dominance all over. You are fiscal dominance all over. You are literally damned if you do and damned if literally damned if you do and damned if literally damned if you do and damned if you don't. there's no good solution you don't. there's no good solution you don't. there's no good solution other than to balance the budget which other than to balance the budget which other than to balance the budget which we are clearly not going to do. I'm a we are clearly not going to do. I'm a we are clearly not going to do. I'm a little surprised people are saying that little surprised people are saying that little surprised people are saying that this is unexpected. Um this is unexpected. Um this is unexpected. Um AI is is driving a massive change in the AI is is driving a massive change in the AI is is driving a massive change in the workforce. We have a massive increase in workforce. We have a massive increase in workforce. We have a massive increase in efficiency and then the economy has efficiency and then the economy has efficiency and then the economy has almost certainly been in a stealth almost certainly been in a stealth almost certainly been in a stealth recession for more than a year. recession for more than a year. recession for more than a year. >> So there's so much uncertainty in the >> So there's so much uncertainty in the >> So there's so much uncertainty in the system that people are just like like I system that people are just like like I system that people are just like like I can do more with less. Let me focus on can do more with less. Let me focus on can do more with less. Let me focus on that for now. not going to do a bunch of that for now. not going to do a bunch of that for now. not going to do a bunch of big capex unless I'm in AI and then I big capex unless I'm in AI and then I big capex unless I'm in AI and then I have to, but otherwise like now is have to, but otherwise like now is have to, but otherwise like now is probably not the time. Uh we're at war. probably not the time. Uh we're at war. probably not the time. Uh we're at war. Uh not sure how that's going to play Uh not sure how that's going to play Uh not sure how that's going to play out. out. out. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> China like nobody's talking about China >> China like nobody's talking about China >> China like nobody's talking about China right now other than Tom. And it is right now other than Tom. And it is right now other than Tom. And it is that's a big question mark. So not that's a big question mark. So not that's a big question mark. So not feeling great about that. I need to see feeling great about that. I need to see feeling great about that. I need to see how things play out in Iran. I need to how things play out in Iran. I need to how things play out in Iran. I need to see if we're headed towards a global see if we're headed towards a global see if we're headed towards a global recession due to the straight of horm. recession due to the straight of horm. recession due to the straight of horm. So yeah, I'm not super surprised. Also, So yeah, I'm not super surprised. Also, So yeah, I'm not super surprised. Also, there's a big narrative that's sweeping there's a big narrative that's sweeping there's a big narrative that's sweeping through the CEOs of the biggest through the CEOs of the biggest through the CEOs of the biggest companies in the world where they're companies in the world where they're companies in the world where they're realizing, "Oh, I'm going to get clapped realizing, "Oh, I'm going to get clapped realizing, "Oh, I'm going to get clapped for in the markets, if I reduce my for in the markets, if I reduce my for in the markets, if I reduce my headcount and go, it's AI, baby." So headcount and go, it's AI, baby." So headcount and go, it's AI, baby." So now, not only is AI real and people are now, not only is AI real and people are now, not only is AI real and people are able to reduce headcount just because able to reduce headcount just because able to reduce headcount just because for real, for real, like you can do it for real, for real, like you can do it for real, for real, like you can do it because people can get so much more because people can get so much more because people can get so much more done. Anybody that was in a bad position done. Anybody that was in a bad position done. Anybody that was in a bad position and is like, "God, how do I sell this to and is like, "God, how do I sell this to and is like, "God, how do I sell this to the market so that I don't take a stock the market so that I don't take a stock the market so that I don't take a stock hit?" They've now got the perfect hit?" They've now got the perfect hit?" They've now got the perfect explanation. Oh, we're just doing more explanation. Oh, we're just doing more explanation. Oh, we're just doing more with less. And so, they'll be able to with less. And so, they'll be able to with less. And so, they'll be able to fire people under the cover of that fire people under the cover of that fire people under the cover of that great story. You put those two things great story. You put those two things great story. You put those two things together, I think you're going to see a together, I think you're going to see a together, I think you're going to see a lot of resizing. Now, will we be able to lot of resizing. Now, will we be able to lot of resizing. Now, will we be able to get enough people back into the job get enough people back into the job get enough people back into the job force? I think there's going to be a force? I think there's going to be a force? I think there's going to be a large mismatch. So, I think you're going large mismatch. So, I think you're going large mismatch. So, I think you're going to see a lot of new jobs. Like you see to see a lot of new jobs. Like you see to see a lot of new jobs. Like you see these tech postings going up. I think these tech postings going up. I think these tech postings going up. I think there is going to be some of that and there is going to be some of that and there is going to be some of that and we're going to see that first edge of we're going to see that first edge of we're going to see that first edge of like, no, this really is going to create like, no, this really is going to create like, no, this really is going to create more jobs in some places, but I think more jobs in some places, but I think more jobs in some places, but I think it's just going to ultimately displace it's just going to ultimately displace it's just going to ultimately displace significantly more people than the jobs significantly more people than the jobs significantly more people than the jobs that it brings on. So, that's my gut that it brings on. So, that's my gut that it brings on. So, that's my gut instinct. We'll see how the data plays instinct. We'll see how the data plays instinct. We'll see how the data plays out over time. But I was far more out over time. But I was far more out over time. But I was far more surprised to hear that we had created surprised to hear that we had created surprised to hear that we had created 515,000 jobs or whatever it was than I 515,000 jobs or whatever it was than I 515,000 jobs or whatever it was than I was to hear that, oh yes, sorry, the was to hear that, oh yes, sorry, the was to hear that, oh yes, sorry, the million more jobs that we said we had, million more jobs that we said we had, million more jobs that we said we had, those were all fake.
