Uh I think many people are going to be very many people are going to be very many people are going to be very surprised by what is almost certainly surprised by what is almost certainly surprised by what is almost certainly going on, what accounts for all the going on, what accounts for all the going on, what accounts for all the timing, the push, the backtrack, all of timing, the push, the backtrack, all of timing, the push, the backtrack, all of it. It's mapappable and we're going to it. It's mapappable and we're going to it. It's mapappable and we're going to map it out. Iran apparently has rockets map it out. Iran apparently has rockets map it out. Iran apparently has rockets that can reach farther than we thought. that can reach farther than we thought. that can reach farther than we thought. Was Trump actually right about their Was Trump actually right about their Was Trump actually right about their ambitions to strike Europe or as some ambitions to strike Europe or as some ambitions to strike Europe or as some are claiming, are the rockets actually a are claiming, are the rockets actually a are claiming, are the rockets actually a false flag from somewhere else? you're false flag from somewhere else? you're false flag from somewhere else? you're talking about that the markets continue talking about that the markets continue talking about that the markets continue to be ridiculously fragile and reactive to be ridiculously fragile and reactive to be ridiculously fragile and reactive right now. So to all my fellow investors right now. So to all my fellow investors right now. So to all my fellow investors out there, I feel your pain. All of that out there, I feel your pain.

That's going to be a big remains closed. That's going to be a big remains closed. That's going to be a big deal if that happens. And speaking of deal if that happens. And speaking of deal if that happens. And speaking of big deals, useful idiots landed in Cuba big deals, useful idiots landed in Cuba big deals, useful idiots landed in Cuba and they ran cover for a communist and they ran cover for a communist and they ran cover for a communist regime. I feel some type of way about regime. I feel some type of way about regime. I feel some type of way about that. We're going to talk about that. that. We're going to talk about that. that. We're going to talk about that. Its ties to history. And please remember Its ties to history. And please remember Its ties to history. And please remember as you think about everything going on as you think about everything going on as you think about everything going on in Cuba right now. The game is in Cuba right now. The game is in Cuba right now. The game is propaganda on all sides. Trump is going propaganda on all sides. Trump is going propaganda on all sides. Trump is going to spin the life out of it. Uh the whole to spin the life out of it. Uh the whole to spin the life out of it. Uh the whole administration is going to spin the life administration is going to spin the life administration is going to spin the life out of it. But all of the counter out of it. But all of the counter out of it. But all of the counter messaging is also trying to control the messaging is also trying to control the messaging is also trying to control the way that you think about that. We're way that you think about that. We're way that you think about that. We're going to try mapping cause and effect going to try mapping cause and effect going to try mapping cause and effect and see if we can actually get some and see if we can actually get some and see if we can actually get some logic into that one. Uh it's driving me logic into that one. Uh it's driving me logic into that one. Uh it's driving me crazy and so we're definitely going to crazy and so we're definitely going to crazy and so we're definitely going to need to talk about that. And then this need to talk about that. And then this need to talk about that. And then this one, man, this blew my mind. We're going one, man, this blew my mind. We're going one, man, this blew my mind. We're going to spend some time on this today. Elon to spend some time on this today. Elon to spend some time on this today. Elon has announced that as a part of becoming has announced that as a part of becoming has announced that as a part of becoming an intergalactic species. He's got to an intergalactic species. He's got to an intergalactic species. He's got to start building his own chips here in the start building his own chips here in the start building his own chips here in the US. And the facility that he's building US. And the facility that he's building US. And the facility that he's building is absolutely insane. If he can pull is absolutely insane. If he can pull is absolutely insane. If he can pull this off, and I have no doubt that he this off, and I have no doubt that he this off, and I have no doubt that he can, he will be creating one of the most can, he will be creating one of the most can, he will be creating one of the most sophisticated sophisticated sophisticated manufacturing facilities on planet manufacturing facilities on planet manufacturing facilities on planet Earth. He says that as mapped, there's Earth. He says that as mapped, there's Earth. He says that as mapped, there's nothing else like this in terms of its nothing else like this in terms of its nothing else like this in terms of its ability to recursively improve. So, uh, ability to recursively improve. So, uh, ability to recursively improve. So, uh, I'm very, very inspired by what he's got I'm very, very inspired by what he's got I'm very, very inspired by what he's got going on here. A little bit of good news going on here. A little bit of good news going on here. A little bit of good news in an otherwise chaotic world right now in an otherwise chaotic world right now in an otherwise chaotic world right now feels completely destabilized. So seeing feels completely destabilized. So seeing feels completely destabilized. So seeing somebody build something that forward somebody build something that forward somebody build something that forward facing is very encouraging, very facing is very encouraging, very facing is very encouraging, very exciting.

So So So >> yeah, nobody should be surprised that >> yeah, nobody should be surprised that >> yeah, nobody should be surprised that this is all up in the air. The question this is all up in the air. The question this is all up in the air. The question is what can you map this to? I know a is what can you map this to? I know a is what can you map this to? I know a lot of people are going to assume that lot of people are going to assume that lot of people are going to assume that Trump is just um all over the map, that Trump is just um all over the map, that Trump is just um all over the map, that he doesn't have a strategy, and I think he doesn't have a strategy, and I think he doesn't have a strategy, and I think that that is an absolutely nonsensical that that is an absolutely nonsensical that that is an absolutely nonsensical way to look at him and what he's doing. way to look at him and what he's doing. way to look at him and what he's doing. I think Trump, whether you think the I think Trump, whether you think the I think Trump, whether you think the things he looks at are intelligent or things he looks at are intelligent or things he looks at are intelligent or not, he is tracking certain things very not, he is tracking certain things very not, he is tracking certain things very closely. And if you want to understand closely. And if you want to understand closely. And if you want to understand why Trump is actually backing off his why Trump is actually backing off his why Trump is actually backing off his threats to decimate Iran's electrical threats to decimate Iran's electrical threats to decimate Iran's electrical electrical infrastructure, you need to electrical infrastructure, you need to electrical infrastructure, you need to look at the bond market. Now, you guys look at the bond market. Now, you guys look at the bond market. Now, you guys have heard me say a thousand times, have heard me say a thousand times, have heard me say a thousand times, these things are economic in nature. And these things are economic in nature. And these things are economic in nature. And when you try to map them to something when you try to map them to something when you try to map them to something else, it is eternally confusing. But else, it is eternally confusing. But else, it is eternally confusing. But when you look at the timeline based on when you look at the timeline based on when you look at the timeline based on something that has an economic something that has an economic something that has an economic consequence, all of a sudden it becomes consequence, all of a sudden it becomes consequence, all of a sudden it becomes very easy to find the thing that's like, very easy to find the thing that's like, very easy to find the thing that's like, "Oh, there's where it goes up. He makes "Oh, there's where it goes up. He makes "Oh, there's where it goes up. He makes this announcement where it goes down, he this announcement where it goes down, he this announcement where it goes down, he makes that announcement, it goes back up makes that announcement, it goes back up makes that announcement, it goes back up on that news, back down in this. It's on that news, back down in this. It's on that news, back down in this. It's wild. We're going to put up a graphic wild. We're going to put up a graphic wild. We're going to put up a graphic that shows you guys this, but there is that shows you guys this, but there is that shows you guys this, but there is no doubt that Trump should be deeply no doubt that Trump should be deeply no doubt that Trump should be deeply concerned about retaliatory strikes, concerned about retaliatory strikes, concerned about retaliatory strikes, okay? That it's not like that doesn't okay? That it's not like that doesn't okay? That it's not like that doesn't exist. That should be a massive concern. exist. That should be a massive concern. exist. That should be a massive concern. But the timing of everything, all of the But the timing of everything, all of the But the timing of everything, all of the announcements can be mapped directly to announcements can be mapped directly to announcements can be mapped directly to the bond market's response. Now, if you the bond market's response. Now, if you the bond market's response. Now, if you guys think back to the birth of the taco guys think back to the birth of the taco guys think back to the birth of the taco meme and the chaotic movements of meme and the chaotic movements of meme and the chaotic movements of tariffs around Liberation Day, you'll tariffs around Liberation Day, you'll tariffs around Liberation Day, you'll recognize the pattern of what's recognize the pattern of what's recognize the pattern of what's happening right now. Trump does not happening right now. Trump does not happening right now. Trump does not watch the stock market the way that watch the stock market the way that watch the stock market the way that people think he does. It's not the broad people think he does. It's not the broad people think he does. It's not the broad market that he's paying attention to. market that he's paying attention to. market that he's paying attention to. He's watching the bond market He's watching the bond market He's watching the bond market specifically. He watches the yield on specifically. He watches the yield on specifically. He watches the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. Been talking the 10-year Treasury note. Been talking the 10-year Treasury note. Been talking about this for a while. If you have to about this for a while. If you have to about this for a while. If you have to be concerned with debt, and the US does, be concerned with debt, and the US does, be concerned with debt, and the US does, that is a number that you have to pay that is a number that you have to pay that is a number that you have to pay attention to. And that number, a single attention to. And that number, a single attention to. And that number, a single interest rate on a 10year government interest rate on a 10year government interest rate on a 10year government loan, is arguably the most powerful loan, is arguably the most powerful loan, is arguably the most powerful constraint on Trump's presidency. The constraint on Trump's presidency. The constraint on Trump's presidency. The 10-year yield is the benchmark that sets 10-year yield is the benchmark that sets 10-year yield is the benchmark that sets the costs of borrowing across the entire the costs of borrowing across the entire the costs of borrowing across the entire American economy. mortgage rates, car American economy. mortgage rates, car American economy. mortgage rates, car loans, credit card debt, corporate loans, credit card debt, corporate loans, credit card debt, corporate financing, government borrowing. When it financing, government borrowing. When it financing, government borrowing. When it rises, everything gets more expensive rises, everything gets more expensive rises, everything gets more expensive for everyone. And when the federal for everyone. And when the federal for everyone. And when the federal government itself has to roll over government itself has to roll over government itself has to roll over trillions in debt, a higher yield means trillions in debt, a higher yield means trillions in debt, a higher yield means paying hundreds of billions more in paying hundreds of billions more in paying hundreds of billions more in interest. Okay, we're already choking to interest. Okay, we're already choking to interest. Okay, we're already choking to death on our interest rates, but this death on our interest rates, but this death on our interest rates, but this would be more money that America does would be more money that America does would be more money that America does not have that would just be slathered on not have that would just be slathered on not have that would just be slathered on top of our already existential debt. top of our already existential debt. top of our already existential debt. [snorts] This is one of those where I [snorts] This is one of those where I [snorts] This is one of those where I don't want to freak people out, but at don't want to freak people out, but at don't want to freak people out, but at the same time, the vast majority of the same time, the vast majority of the same time, the vast majority of Americans simply do not understand why Americans simply do not understand why Americans simply do not understand why the debt should cause an immediate the debt should cause an immediate the debt should cause an immediate change in behavior on behalf of the US change in behavior on behalf of the US change in behavior on behalf of the US government. government. government. The Republicans are spending like The Republicans are spending like The Republicans are spending like they're actually going to grow their way they're actually going to grow their way they're actually going to grow their way out of this, which is a huge set of out of this, which is a huge set of out of this, which is a huge set of question marks. We don't know that question marks. We don't know that question marks. We don't know that that's actually true. And the Democrats that's actually true. And the Democrats that's actually true. And the Democrats are spending like you can give are spending like you can give are spending like you can give everything away for free and there everything away for free and there everything away for free and there aren't going to be consequences. They aren't going to be consequences. They aren't going to be consequences. They are both out of their minds. When you are both out of their minds. When you are both out of their minds. When you start mapping the behavior that we're start mapping the behavior that we're start mapping the behavior that we're seeing from Trump right now to the seeing from Trump right now to the seeing from Trump right now to the existential reality of the debt, existential reality of the debt, existential reality of the debt, suddenly it will click into place. Trump suddenly it will click into place. Trump suddenly it will click into place. Trump making jerky moves based on the Treasury making jerky moves based on the Treasury making jerky moves based on the Treasury yield has already happened before. So, yield has already happened before. So, yield has already happened before. So, we can even look back in history and we can even look back in history and we can even look back in history and say, "Okay, what's this likely to look say, "Okay, what's this likely to look say, "Okay, what's this likely to look like?" On April 9th of 2025, the 10-year like?" On April 9th of 2025, the 10-year like?" On April 9th of 2025, the 10-year yield surged to 4.5 to 4.6, depending on yield surged to 4.5 to 4.6, depending on yield surged to 4.5 to 4.6, depending on who you talk to, but roughly right who you talk to, but roughly right who you talk to, but roughly right around there as Trump's Liberation Day around there as Trump's Liberation Day around there as Trump's Liberation Day tariffs hit markets. He didn't blink tariffs hit markets. He didn't blink tariffs hit markets. He didn't blink when the stock market was tripping all when the stock market was tripping all when the stock market was tripping all over itself, losing trillions of dollars over itself, losing trillions of dollars over itself, losing trillions of dollars in value in a single trading session. in value in a single trading session. in value in a single trading session. when he blinked was when the bond market when he blinked was when the bond market when he blinked was when the bond market had a heart attack. He paused his global had a heart attack. He paused his global had a heart attack. He paused his global tariffs within hours. He even said tariffs within hours. He even said tariffs within hours. He even said that's why he was doing it. He said, and that's why he was doing it. He said, and that's why he was doing it. He said, and I quote, "I was watching the bond I quote, "I was watching the bond I quote, "I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very tricky." market. The bond market is very tricky." market. The bond market is very tricky." End quote. Fast forward to today. Since End quote. Fast forward to today. Since End quote. Fast forward to today. Since Operation Epic Fury began, the 10-year Operation Epic Fury began, the 10-year Operation Epic Fury began, the 10-year yield has climbed approximately 45 basis yield has climbed approximately 45 basis yield has climbed approximately 45 basis points, the same speed it moved during points, the same speed it moved during points, the same speed it moved during Liberation Day, and it's now sitting Liberation Day, and it's now sitting Liberation Day, and it's now sitting somewhere around 4.4%. That's what it somewhere around 4.4%. That's what it somewhere around 4.4%. That's what it was when I wrote it. It is moving fast was when I wrote it. It is moving fast was when I wrote it. It is moving fast enough that I will not plant a strong enough that I will not plant a strong enough that I will not plant a strong flag in the ground, but it's in flag in the ground, but it's in flag in the ground, but it's in dangerous territory. The pattern's dangerous territory. The pattern's dangerous territory. The pattern's repeating. As the yield approaches 4.5, repeating. As the yield approaches 4.5, repeating. As the yield approaches 4.5, 4.6, Trump is already signaling that 4.6, Trump is already signaling that 4.6, Trump is already signaling that he's looking for offramps. He announced he's looking for offramps. He announced he's looking for offramps. He announced a 5-day pause on strikes against Iranian a 5-day pause on strikes against Iranian a 5-day pause on strikes against Iranian power plants and called the talks power plants and called the talks power plants and called the talks productive, productive, productive, which by the way caused a major drop in which by the way caused a major drop in which by the way caused a major drop in the interest rate. I don't know if we the interest rate. I don't know if we the interest rate. I don't know if we have the um full one. It's like the COBC have the um full one. It's like the COBC have the um full one. It's like the COBC letter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you're letter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you're letter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you're looking at your screens right now, looking at your screens right now, looking at your screens right now, you're going to watch all this play out. you're going to watch all this play out. you're going to watch all this play out. So, he says, "Hey, talks are So, he says, "Hey, talks are So, he says, "Hey, talks are productive." The 10-year rate comes way productive." The 10-year rate comes way productive." The 10-year rate comes way down. Iran then immediately denies it down. Iran then immediately denies it down. Iran then immediately denies it and the rate goes back up and then Trump and the rate goes back up and then Trump and the rate goes back up and then Trump is ba they said Trump is basically just is ba they said Trump is basically just is ba they said Trump is basically just trying to calm the markets, which is trying to calm the markets, which is trying to calm the markets, which is almost certainly true. PS, by the way, almost certainly true. PS, by the way, almost certainly true. PS, by the way, and by it worked until Iran opened their and by it worked until Iran opened their and by it worked until Iran opened their big mouths denying it, which of course big mouths denying it, which of course big mouths denying it, which of course is part of the strategy. But then Axios is part of the strategy. But then Axios is part of the strategy. But then Axios reports that no, for real, for real, reports that no, for real, for real, reports that no, for real, for real, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan really are Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan really are Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan really are passing messages between the US and Iran passing messages between the US and Iran passing messages between the US and Iran and the rate came down again. So and the rate came down again. So and the rate came down again. So regardless of whether that's all the regardless of whether that's all the regardless of whether that's all the world's most impossible to believe world's most impossible to believe world's most impossible to believe coincidence or it's actually the cause coincidence or it's actually the cause coincidence or it's actually the cause and effect being seen in the bond market and effect being seen in the bond market and effect being seen in the bond market when you have $39 trillion in debt and when you have $39 trillion in debt and when you have $39 trillion in debt and you need even more. The US economy you need even more. The US economy you need even more. The US economy simply cannot stain something pressing simply cannot stain something pressing simply cannot stain something pressing up against 5% on the 10-year Treasury up against 5% on the 10-year Treasury up against 5% on the 10-year Treasury yield. You you just you can't afford it. yield. You you just you can't afford it. yield. You you just you can't afford it. You couldn't back in April. You can't You couldn't back in April. You can't You couldn't back in April. You can't now. So Trump is going to be forced to now. So Trump is going to be forced to now. So Trump is going to be forced to find ways to calm the market and keep find ways to calm the market and keep find ways to calm the market and keep that rate in the below 4.6ish that rate in the below 4.6ish that rate in the below 4.6ish range. And if that means that he has to range. And if that means that he has to range. And if that means that he has to back off threats of destroying Iran's back off threats of destroying Iran's back off threats of destroying Iran's power, then he will back off. And it's power, then he will back off. And it's power, then he will back off. And it's actually smart. And I get that people actually smart. And I get that people actually smart. And I get that people are going to clown on it. But it is are going to clown on it. But it is are going to clown on it. But it is smart to back off given the dire smart to back off given the dire smart to back off given the dire consequences that that could have both consequences that that could have both consequences that that could have both from a retaliatory strike perspective from a retaliatory strike perspective from a retaliatory strike perspective and from its impact on the b bond and from its impact on the b bond and from its impact on the b bond market. So you can think that it was market. So you can think that it was market. So you can think that it was stupid that we attacked Iran in the stupid that we attacked Iran in the stupid that we attacked Iran in the first place and still realize that first place and still realize that first place and still realize that escalating escalating escalating when escalating escalating escalating when escalating escalating escalating when you're getting signals from the world you're getting signals from the world you're getting signals from the world that hey this could be deeply that hey this could be deeply that hey this could be deeply problematic problematic problematic it's wise to do so. So, I'm at least it's wise to do so. So, I'm at least it's wise to do so. So, I'm at least thankful that regionally he's doing thankful that regionally he's doing thankful that regionally he's doing something that makes sense. Even if in something that makes sense. Even if in something that makes sense. Even if in the grander strategy, I don't see a the grander strategy, I don't see a the grander strategy, I don't see a clear offramp out of Iran other than clear offramp out of Iran other than clear offramp out of Iran other than just the chaotic withdrawal and saying, just the chaotic withdrawal and saying, just the chaotic withdrawal and saying, "Hey, we won. We did everything we came "Hey, we won. We did everything we came "Hey, we won. We did everything we came to do, boys and girls." Trust me, it's to do, boys and girls." Trust me, it's to do, boys and girls." Trust me, it's all great. Uh, and then letting whatever all great. Uh, and then letting whatever all great. Uh, and then letting whatever happens to the straight of Hormuz happens to the straight of Hormuz happens to the straight of Hormuz happen. We'll see, man. This is this is happen. We'll see, man. This is this is happen. We'll see, man.

Do you think he was in the analogy. Do you think he was in the analogy. Do you think he was in the right to kind of threaten Iran, but it right to kind of threaten Iran, but it right to kind of threaten Iran, but it may be just that that threat is now may be just that that threat is now may be just that that threat is now losing its power because Iran is losing its power because Iran is losing its power because Iran is controlling the strait? Why do what do controlling the strait? Why do what do controlling the strait? Why do what do you think is the thing that he's not you think is the thing that he's not you think is the thing that he's not seeing that has dragged this war out a seeing that has dragged this war out a seeing that has dragged this war out a little bit longer than than I'm sure he little bit longer than than I'm sure he little bit longer than than I'm sure he thought it would have taken? thought it would have taken? thought it would have taken? >> If I had to guess as to what Trump is >> If I had to guess as to what Trump is >> If I had to guess as to what Trump is not seeing, it would be one simple not seeing, it would be one simple not seeing, it would be one simple thing. When you back an animal into a thing. When you back an animal into a thing. When you back an animal into a corner, they are going to fight to the corner, they are going to fight to the corner, they are going to fight to the death because they have nothing to lose. death because they have nothing to lose. death because they have nothing to lose. And I'm surprised he can't see that And I'm surprised he can't see that And I'm surprised he can't see that because he is in the same position because he is in the same position because he is in the same position politically. And so what we have are two politically. And so what we have are two politically. And so what we have are two essential animals that feel that their essential animals that feel that their essential animals that feel that their life is threatened. Trump knows that if life is threatened. Trump knows that if life is threatened. Trump knows that if he gets impeached and then booted out of he gets impeached and then booted out of he gets impeached and then booted out of office that he is going to beounded. office that he is going to beounded. office that he is going to beounded. They're going to try to put him in They're going to try to put him in They're going to try to put him in prison uh with everything that they prison uh with everything that they prison uh with everything that they have. And he is now acting from a it's have. And he is now acting from a it's have. And he is now acting from a it's sort of Mount Rushmore or bust mentality sort of Mount Rushmore or bust mentality sort of Mount Rushmore or bust mentality of I'm going to clean up the whole of I'm going to clean up the whole of I'm going to clean up the whole world. I'm going to get everything going world. I'm going to get everything going world. I'm going to get everything going in the right direction. and America is in the right direction. and America is in the right direction. and America is going to reestablish its dominance. going to reestablish its dominance. going to reestablish its dominance. We're going to deal with all of these We're going to deal with all of these We're going to deal with all of these threats. I think Iran really was a threats. I think Iran really was a threats. I think Iran really was a threat. I think there is a reason that threat. I think there is a reason that threat. I think there is a reason that every president has been like, "Damn, I every president has been like, "Damn, I every president has been like, "Damn, I wish I could have done something better wish I could have done something better wish I could have done something better with Iran." Everybody wanted to do with Iran." Everybody wanted to do with Iran." Everybody wanted to do something with it. But I think Trump is something with it. But I think Trump is something with it. But I think Trump is also learning that there's a reason that also learning that there's a reason that also learning that there's a reason that they didn't. That it wasn't just them they didn't. That it wasn't just them they didn't. That it wasn't just them being chicken. It was them realizing being chicken. It was them realizing being chicken. It was them realizing that you can get yourself into a that you can get yourself into a that you can get yourself into a quagmire that is very difficult to get quagmire that is very difficult to get quagmire that is very difficult to get out of. Remember, it's easy to get into out of. Remember, it's easy to get into out of. Remember, it's easy to get into a war. it is very difficult to get out a war. it is very difficult to get out a war. it is very difficult to get out with anything that approaches real with anything that approaches real with anything that approaches real success. And so there is a big uh mess success. And so there is a big uh mess success. And so there is a big uh mess in the making. Then he's not mapping in the making. Then he's not mapping in the making. Then he's not mapping Iran well in terms of like, dude, you're Iran well in terms of like, dude, you're Iran well in terms of like, dude, you're killing all of us. So we're just going killing all of us. So we're just going killing all of us. So we're just going to keep fighting until the bitter end to keep fighting until the bitter end to keep fighting until the bitter end because we know that there is a because we know that there is a because we know that there is a contingent within our own country that contingent within our own country that contingent within our own country that want to see us out of office. And so if want to see us out of office. And so if want to see us out of office. And so if we don't maintain power, not only do the we don't maintain power, not only do the we don't maintain power, not only do the GCC countries want to see us go down, GCC countries want to see us go down, GCC countries want to see us go down, not only does a certain contingent of not only does a certain contingent of not only does a certain contingent of our own people want to see us go down, our own people want to see us go down, our own people want to see us go down, you're bombing the life out of us. And you're bombing the life out of us. And you're bombing the life out of us. And so we're going to do the same. And so on so we're going to do the same. And so on so we're going to do the same. And so on that front, uh I'm not sure what ends up that front, uh I'm not sure what ends up that front, uh I'm not sure what ends up happening to a president in this kind of happening to a president in this kind of happening to a president in this kind of position, but I think it goes something position, but I think it goes something position, but I think it goes something like this. Our military is so like this. Our military is so like this. Our military is so extraordinary. Surely there is nothing extraordinary. Surely there is nothing extraordinary. Surely there is nothing that we can't accomplish and we'll just that we can't accomplish and we'll just that we can't accomplish and we'll just keep battering them until they give up. keep battering them until they give up. keep battering them until they give up. And these aren't the insurgents that we And these aren't the insurgents that we And these aren't the insurgents that we saw in um Afghanistan and to a lesser saw in um Afghanistan and to a lesser saw in um Afghanistan and to a lesser extent Iraq. These are like the extent Iraq. These are like the extent Iraq. These are like the Venezuelans. And so we're going to come Venezuelans. And so we're going to come Venezuelans. And so we're going to come in, we're going to slap them around. The in, we're going to slap them around. The in, we're going to slap them around. The people are going to rise up. They're people are going to rise up. They're people are going to rise up. They're going to take over their country instead going to take over their country instead going to take over their country instead of realizing no, it's probably more of realizing no, it's probably more of realizing no, it's probably more bitterly divided like we are here in the bitterly divided like we are here in the bitterly divided like we are here in the US. And yes, you have a massive number US. And yes, you have a massive number US. And yes, you have a massive number of people that hate the regime, but you of people that hate the regime, but you of people that hate the regime, but you also have a distressingly large number also have a distressingly large number also have a distressingly large number of people that like the regime. And the of people that like the regime. And the of people that like the regime. And the regime clearly willing to kill lots and regime clearly willing to kill lots and regime clearly willing to kill lots and lots of people has the terror factor on lots of people has the terror factor on lots of people has the terror factor on their side. And so, um, when you look at their side. And so, um, when you look at their side. And so, um, when you look at their willingness and ability to strike their willingness and ability to strike their willingness and ability to strike out against their neighbors, to hit the out against their neighbors, to hit the out against their neighbors, to hit the GCC countries, to say, "Cool, you're GCC countries, to say, "Cool, you're GCC countries, to say, "Cool, you're going to strike us, we're going to going to strike us, we're going to going to strike us, we're going to strike even companies that simply have strike even companies that simply have strike even companies that simply have US shareholders." US shareholders." US shareholders." uh that you don't have the escalatory uh that you don't have the escalatory uh that you don't have the escalatory dominance that you thought you did. And dominance that you thought you did. And dominance that you thought you did. And so if they're willing to fight like so if they're willing to fight like so if they're willing to fight like their literal lives depend on it, you their literal lives depend on it, you their literal lives depend on it, you can find yourself in a very weird can find yourself in a very weird can find yourself in a very weird position. And you can't because you have position. And you can't because you have position. And you can't because you have a stock market to worry about. You are a a stock market to worry about. You are a a stock market to worry about. You are a democratic leader. And so you can't just democratic leader. And so you can't just democratic leader. And so you can't just turn the guns inward and start killing turn the guns inward and start killing turn the guns inward and start killing everybody that disagrees with you. So everybody that disagrees with you. So everybody that disagrees with you. So like if I were in Trump's ear, the thing like if I were in Trump's ear, the thing like if I were in Trump's ear, the thing that I would be screaming over and over that I would be screaming over and over that I would be screaming over and over is walk me through the cause and effect is walk me through the cause and effect is walk me through the cause and effect of how the [ __ ] you get out of this of how the [ __ ] you get out of this of how the [ __ ] you get out of this mess. And if that answer is [ __ ] mess. And if that answer is [ __ ] mess. And if that answer is [ __ ] which I imagine it's going to be because which I imagine it's going to be because which I imagine it's going to be because it's going to be something like we're it's going to be something like we're it's going to be something like we're just going to keep blowing them up uh just going to keep blowing them up uh just going to keep blowing them up uh until they finally back off. And for until they finally back off. And for until they finally back off. And for that you would have to show me some that you would have to show me some that you would have to show me some really really clear evidence that the really really clear evidence that the really really clear evidence that the Iranian people are going to rise up Iranian people are going to rise up Iranian people are going to rise up because if you try to force a top- down because if you try to force a top- down because if you try to force a top- down regime, this is how we ended up with the regime, this is how we ended up with the regime, this is how we ended up with the original revolution that led us here. So original revolution that led us here. So original revolution that led us here. So that's where map it out for me. Show me that's where map it out for me. Show me that's where map it out for me. Show me the cause and effect. uh show me how the cause and effect. uh show me how the cause and effect. uh show me how you're first of all going to pay for you're first of all going to pay for you're first of all going to pay for this war because that's already super this war because that's already super this war because that's already super distressing. So without a cause and distressing. So without a cause and distressing. So without a cause and effect loop, I would be advising him effect loop, I would be advising him effect loop, I would be advising him like, bro, you have got to wrap this. like, bro, you have got to wrap this. like, bro, you have got to wrap this. I want to keep that same energy going I want to keep that same energy going I want to keep that same energy going because the cause and effect loop of the because the cause and effect loop of the because the cause and effect loop of the actual war is one thing, the death, the actual war is one thing, the death, the actual war is one thing, the death, the casualties, the escalatory factor of it, casualties, the escalatory factor of it, casualties, the escalatory factor of it, but now we're seeing the cause and but now we're seeing the cause and but now we're seeing the cause and effect of the loss of the petro dollar, effect of the loss of the petro dollar, effect of the loss of the petro dollar, whereas we're seeing a lot of vessels whereas we're seeing a lot of vessels whereas we're seeing a lot of vessels that are paying in vessels that pay in that are paying in vessels that pay in that are paying in vessels that pay in Chinese yen are allowed to go unhindered Chinese yen are allowed to go unhindered Chinese yen are allowed to go unhindered through the passage of the straight of through the passage of the straight of through the passage of the straight of Hermoose. Um, the petro dollar was the Hermoose. Um, the petro dollar was the Hermoose. Um, the petro dollar was the one thing I feel like we couldn't lose. one thing I feel like we couldn't lose. one thing I feel like we couldn't lose. That was the one bargaining chip we had That was the one bargaining chip we had That was the one bargaining chip we had on the table that I feel like was very on the table that I feel like was very on the table that I feel like was very important. important. important. This is Iran does have the upper hand in This is Iran does have the upper hand in This is Iran does have the upper hand in this very specific sector. What does this very specific sector. What does this very specific sector. What does this mean from an economic perspective this mean from an economic perspective this mean from an economic perspective around the world? around the world? around the world? >> The war in Iran is turning into a game >> The war in Iran is turning into a game >> The war in Iran is turning into a game of chicken between the US and Iran for of chicken between the US and Iran for of chicken between the US and Iran for the fate of the petro dollar. And this the fate of the petro dollar. And this the fate of the petro dollar. And this is something that the the consequences is something that the the consequences is something that the the consequences of this would be absolutely massive. If of this would be absolutely massive. If of this would be absolutely massive. If the US loses, our economy implodes under the US loses, our economy implodes under the US loses, our economy implodes under the weight of its staggering $39 the weight of its staggering $39 the weight of its staggering $39 trillion and growing. by the way, trillion and growing. by the way, trillion and growing. by the way, national debt. If Iran loses, oil prices national debt. If Iran loses, oil prices national debt. If Iran loses, oil prices will go down massively. China is will go down massively. China is will go down massively. China is weakened, and the petro dollar buys weakened, and the petro dollar buys weakened, and the petro dollar buys America time to use AI and deregulation America time to use AI and deregulation America time to use AI and deregulation to grow its way out of our absolutely to grow its way out of our absolutely to grow its way out of our absolutely ridiculous debt. The outcome, though, is ridiculous debt. The outcome, though, is ridiculous debt. The outcome, though, is far from certain as of right now, and far from certain as of right now, and far from certain as of right now, and anybody who's acting like, "Oh, this is anybody who's acting like, "Oh, this is anybody who's acting like, "Oh, this is all in the bag," is out of their [ __ ] all in the bag," is out of their [ __ ] all in the bag," is out of their [ __ ] minds. You're being spun. Ignore them minds. You're being spun. Ignore them minds. You're being spun. Ignore them immediately. While America doesn't rely immediately. While America doesn't rely immediately. While America doesn't rely on the Middle East for our energy, and I on the Middle East for our energy, and I on the Middle East for our energy, and I get that that puts us in a very uh get that that puts us in a very uh get that that puts us in a very uh aggressive posture, all the people aggressive posture, all the people aggressive posture, all the people propping up the dollar do. So, this is propping up the dollar do. So, this is propping up the dollar do. So, this is one of those things. I know that Bessant one of those things. I know that Bessant one of those things. I know that Bessant understands this, even if Trump doesn't. understands this, even if Trump doesn't. understands this, even if Trump doesn't. And by the way, Trump probably does And by the way, Trump probably does And by the way, Trump probably does understand this better than he lets on. understand this better than he lets on. understand this better than he lets on. But But But if people don't start acknowledging how if people don't start acknowledging how if people don't start acknowledging how important it is for us to deal with the important it is for us to deal with the important it is for us to deal with the $39 trillion in debt, we have to have $39 trillion in debt, we have to have $39 trillion in debt, we have to have the petro dollar. If they don't start the petro dollar. If they don't start the petro dollar. If they don't start acknowledging that and acting in acknowledging that and acting in acknowledging that and acting in accordance, we are going to find accordance, we are going to find accordance, we are going to find ourselves in a world of hurt. Uh if they ourselves in a world of hurt. Uh if they ourselves in a world of hurt. Uh if they are forced like our allies and other are forced like our allies and other are forced like our allies and other people in the world, if they're forced people in the world, if they're forced people in the world, if they're forced to go around the US and negotiate to go around the US and negotiate to go around the US and negotiate directly with Iran to ensure that their directly with Iran to ensure that their directly with Iran to ensure that their economies don't collapse, because by the economies don't collapse, because by the economies don't collapse, because by the way, oil is the thing that's going to way, oil is the thing that's going to way, oil is the thing that's going to keep their economies from collapsing. So keep their economies from collapsing. So keep their economies from collapsing. So if the oil is not able to get out of the if the oil is not able to get out of the if the oil is not able to get out of the straight, then they're going to abandon straight, then they're going to abandon straight, then they're going to abandon the US in a heartbeat in order to get the US in a heartbeat in order to get the US in a heartbeat in order to get that done. So, they'll start negotiating that done. So, they'll start negotiating that done. So, they'll start negotiating directly with Iran if that's what they directly with Iran if that's what they directly with Iran if that's what they have to do. Uh, and you can count on have to do. Uh, and you can count on have to do. Uh, and you can count on Iran if they're in these direct Iran if they're in these direct Iran if they're in these direct negotiations with places like Japan that negotiations with places like Japan that negotiations with places like Japan that they're going to require that the they're going to require that the they're going to require that the currency that's used is anything other currency that's used is anything other currency that's used is anything other than USD. Now, of course, rooms are than USD. Now, of course, rooms are than USD. Now, of course, rooms are flying that Iran is going to lean on the flying that Iran is going to lean on the flying that Iran is going to lean on the yuan corridor that already exists. So, yuan corridor that already exists. So, yuan corridor that already exists. So, there are already payments set up. there are already payments set up. there are already payments set up. Bricks nations have already been doing Bricks nations have already been doing Bricks nations have already been doing this for a while, transacting in yuan. this for a while, transacting in yuan. this for a while, transacting in yuan. So, you can expect that that's probably So, you can expect that that's probably So, you can expect that that's probably what's going to happen. Um, and that what's going to happen. Um, and that what's going to happen. Um, and that would be very bad for the US. According would be very bad for the US. According would be very bad for the US. According to a senior Iranian official who spoke to a senior Iranian official who spoke to a senior Iranian official who spoke to CNN, Tyrron is considering a formal to CNN, Tyrron is considering a formal to CNN, Tyrron is considering a formal policy that would look something like policy that would look something like policy that would look something like this. Tankers that price their cargo in this. Tankers that price their cargo in this. Tankers that price their cargo in Chinese yuan get to go through and Chinese yuan get to go through and Chinese yuan get to go through and tankers that don't don't get to go tankers that don't don't get to go tankers that don't don't get to go through. So, you can expect that through. So, you can expect that through. So, you can expect that countries will jump at that chance even countries will jump at that chance even countries will jump at that chance even if Trump is putting pressure on them. if Trump is putting pressure on them. if Trump is putting pressure on them. They may not want to do it. They may They may not want to do it. They may They may not want to do it. They may want to stand with the US in solidarity. want to stand with the US in solidarity. want to stand with the US in solidarity. They may think that Iran is a real They may think that Iran is a real They may think that Iran is a real problem, but it's not as immediate as problem, but it's not as immediate as problem, but it's not as immediate as the lights going out in their country. the lights going out in their country. the lights going out in their country. And so they will And so they will And so they will they'll take whatever negotiation they'll take whatever negotiation they'll take whatever negotiation they're going to have to. And so the they're going to have to. And so the they're going to have to. And so the architecture for that payments uh that architecture for that payments uh that architecture for that payments uh that payment system is already up and payment system is already up and payment system is already up and running. Since March 1st, between 11.7 running. Since March 1st, between 11.7 running. Since March 1st, between 11.7 and 16.5 million barrels of Iranian and 16.5 million barrels of Iranian and 16.5 million barrels of Iranian crude have already transited the crude have already transited the crude have already transited the straight to China, paid in yuan, straight to China, paid in yuan, straight to China, paid in yuan, protected by the IRGC. protected by the IRGC. protected by the IRGC. uh moving without interruption. So, uh moving without interruption. So, uh moving without interruption. So, China's ships are sailing free right now China's ships are sailing free right now China's ships are sailing free right now and everybody else is locked out. India and everybody else is locked out. India and everybody else is locked out. India got two tankers through last weekend, got two tankers through last weekend, got two tankers through last weekend, but not by paying in one. Iran released but not by paying in one. Iran released but not by paying in one. Iran released them in exchange for India freeing three them in exchange for India freeing three them in exchange for India freeing three Iranian oil tankers that have been Iranian oil tankers that have been Iranian oil tankers that have been seized before the war. Now, it's not a seized before the war. Now, it's not a seized before the war. Now, it's not a long-term arrangement, but it certainly long-term arrangement, but it certainly long-term arrangement, but it certainly shows that there are avenues for the shows that there are avenues for the shows that there are avenues for the world that do not include the US. Now world that do not include the US. Now world that do not include the US. Now whether it stays where they're using the whether it stays where they're using the whether it stays where they're using the petro dollar but they're finding other petro dollar but they're finding other petro dollar but they're finding other ways to negotiate it. All of that's up ways to negotiate it. All of that's up ways to negotiate it. All of that's up in the air. It's unknown at this point. in the air. It's unknown at this point. in the air. It's unknown at this point. But the longer that hormuse remains But the longer that hormuse remains But the longer that hormuse remains closed, the more countries are going to closed, the more countries are going to closed, the more countries are going to get desperate and start making their own get desperate and start making their own get desperate and start making their own deals. And if a government can't keep deals. And if a government can't keep deals. And if a government can't keep the lights on, it will not survive. the lights on, it will not survive. the lights on, it will not survive. Remember, people will revolt against Remember, people will revolt against Remember, people will revolt against their governments. And the more their governments. And the more their governments. And the more democratic you are, the more at risk you democratic you are, the more at risk you democratic you are, the more at risk you are in terms of people turning on you, are in terms of people turning on you, are in terms of people turning on you, you immediately losing power. And if I'm you immediately losing power. And if I'm you immediately losing power. And if I'm right, and I assure you I am, right, and I assure you I am, right, and I assure you I am, politicians will do and say anything politicians will do and say anything politicians will do and say anything they need to, including killing their they need to, including killing their they need to, including killing their own people to stay in power. So own people to stay in power. So own people to stay in power. So once you map that part of the human once you map that part of the human once you map that part of the human political landscape, you realize they political landscape, you realize they political landscape, you realize they will go around the US if that's what will go around the US if that's what will go around the US if that's what they have to do. And oil being priced in they have to do. And oil being priced in they have to do. And oil being priced in dollars is the foundational architecture dollars is the foundational architecture dollars is the foundational architecture of American global power going all the of American global power going all the of American global power going all the way back, by the way, to 1974. So if way back, by the way, to 1974. So if way back, by the way, to 1974. So if Iran formalizes Ian as the price of Iran formalizes Ian as the price of Iran formalizes Ian as the price of passage through a choke point that passage through a choke point that passage through a choke point that controls 20% of the world's oil supply controls 20% of the world's oil supply controls 20% of the world's oil supply doesn't just hurt the US war effort. It doesn't just hurt the US war effort. It doesn't just hurt the US war effort. It accelerates the ddollarization that accelerates the ddollarization that accelerates the ddollarization that Russia, China, and the BRICS nations Russia, China, and the BRICS nations Russia, China, and the BRICS nations have been fighting for for years. And it have been fighting for for years. And it have been fighting for for years. And it does it in a way that the US cannot does it in a way that the US cannot does it in a way that the US cannot sanction its way out of. So when someone sanction its way out of. So when someone sanction its way out of. So when someone calls your bluff, we were talking about calls your bluff, we were talking about calls your bluff, we were talking about that with Trump, you better still have that with Trump, you better still have that with Trump, you better still have the cards to win. And that is a big the cards to win. And that is a big the cards to win. And that is a big question mark right now. Now I'm not question mark right now. Now I'm not question mark right now. Now I'm not counting Trump out. It is entirely counting Trump out. It is entirely counting Trump out. It is entirely possible that we still win this and that possible that we still win this and that possible that we still win this and that we come out ahead. But oh my god, this we come out ahead. But oh my god, this we come out ahead. But oh my god, this is deeply uncertain and he is right now is deeply uncertain and he is right now is deeply uncertain and he is right now literally playing a game of chicken. So, literally playing a game of chicken. So, literally playing a game of chicken. So, we'll see. It's not even who blinks we'll see. It's not even who blinks we'll see. It's not even who blinks first. It's what are going to be the first. It's what are going to be the first. It's what are going to be the second and third order consequences that second and third order consequences that second and third order consequences that just absolutely send shock waves through just absolutely send shock waves through just absolutely send shock waves through the global economy. the global economy. the global economy. >> And then I got to put one piece on the >> And then I got to put one piece on the >> And then I got to put one piece on the table as well. I'm really trying to table as well. I'm really trying to table as well. I'm really trying to follow the cause and effect. You've follow the cause and effect. You've follow the cause and effect. You've taught me that. I appreciate that, Tom. taught me that. I appreciate that, Tom. taught me that. I appreciate that, Tom. It seems that now that they're realizing It seems that now that they're realizing It seems that now that they're realizing the economic impact of it, Trump has the economic impact of it, Trump has the economic impact of it, Trump has been rallying to get his allies to come been rallying to get his allies to come been rallying to get his allies to come to the table and now new intelligence to the table and now new intelligence to the table and now new intelligence has was been released that maybe Iran has was been released that maybe Iran has was been released that maybe Iran has been lying about his capabilities has been lying about his capabilities has been lying about his capabilities and missiles can go a lot further than and missiles can go a lot further than and missiles can go a lot further than they thought. So a lot of the NATO they thought. So a lot of the NATO they thought. So a lot of the NATO countries, a lot of countries in Europe, countries, a lot of countries in Europe, countries, a lot of countries in Europe, they should be a lot more a more they should be a lot more a more they should be a lot more a more particip more they should want to particip more they should want to particip more they should want to participate more in this war because participate more in this war because participate more in this war because their missiles are in range. So their missiles are in range. So their missiles are in range. So initially the reports were that 2,000 km initially the reports were that 2,000 km initially the reports were that 2,000 km was the limit. that was majority of the was the limit. that was majority of the was the limit. that was majority of the Middle East. Now they're saying it's Middle East. Now they're saying it's Middle East. Now they're saying it's actually 4,000 kilometers and it can get actually 4,000 kilometers and it can get actually 4,000 kilometers and it can get as far as London, Berlin, uh, Munich, as far as London, Berlin, uh, Munich, as far as London, Berlin, uh, Munich, Paris, um, and Rome as well. So, do you Paris, um, and Rome as well. So, do you Paris, um, and Rome as well. So, do you think that this will motivate the allies think that this will motivate the allies think that this will motivate the allies to rally to kind of save them or is this to rally to kind of save them or is this to rally to kind of save them or is this another Israel play? Um, and I I'm going another Israel play? Um, and I I'm going another Israel play? Um, and I I'm going to the Israel of it all next with the to the Israel of it all next with the to the Israel of it all next with the Netanyahu cliff from the war site too. Netanyahu cliff from the war site too. Netanyahu cliff from the war site too. So, So, So, >> yeah. So the way that I map that is that >> yeah. So the way that I map that is that >> yeah. So the way that I map that is that every politician is behold, unless every politician is behold, unless every politician is behold, unless you're a dictatorial regime, you're you're a dictatorial regime, you're you're a dictatorial regime, you're beholden to your people. So all of our beholden to your people. So all of our beholden to your people. So all of our European allies are going to be asking European allies are going to be asking European allies are going to be asking themselves one question. What do the themselves one question. What do the themselves one question. What do the people in my country want? I don't think people in my country want? I don't think people in my country want? I don't think the people in their country feel a the people in their country feel a the people in their country feel a significant imminent threat from uh significant imminent threat from uh significant imminent threat from uh Iran. Now, had those missiles landed, Iran. Now, had those missiles landed, Iran. Now, had those missiles landed, this might be a very different story. this might be a very different story. this might be a very different story. Now, we'll watch. the head of NATO seems Now, we'll watch. the head of NATO seems Now, we'll watch. the head of NATO seems to be far more in Trump's camp than to be far more in Trump's camp than to be far more in Trump's camp than everybody else. Uh he seems to be everybody else. Uh he seems to be everybody else. Uh he seems to be desperately trying to drag them into the desperately trying to drag them into the desperately trying to drag them into the frame of reference that Iran poses a frame of reference that Iran poses a frame of reference that Iran poses a bigger threat than you guys are letting bigger threat than you guys are letting bigger threat than you guys are letting on publicly. on publicly. on publicly. >> Uh there's a lot of messaging around >> Uh there's a lot of messaging around >> Uh there's a lot of messaging around Europe behind the scenes is saying no no Europe behind the scenes is saying no no Europe behind the scenes is saying no no no this is good but I have a political no this is good but I have a political no this is good but I have a political reality that I have to face where I've reality that I have to face where I've reality that I have to face where I've got to like do this dance. And so if got to like do this dance. And so if got to like do this dance. And so if Diego Garcia got hit, if they proved Diego Garcia got hit, if they proved Diego Garcia got hit, if they proved that these missiles really were fired that these missiles really were fired that these missiles really were fired from Iran, because there's a lot of from Iran, because there's a lot of from Iran, because there's a lot of questions around that, unless new questions around that, unless new questions around that, unless new reporting has come out since we went reporting has come out since we went reporting has come out since we went live, but prior to going live, it was live, but prior to going live, it was live, but prior to going live, it was like no one's really sure where these like no one's really sure where these like no one's really sure where these came from. Uh so I think that that will came from. Uh so I think that that will came from. Uh so I think that that will leave way too many question marks to leave way too many question marks to leave way too many question marks to change Europe's mind. Now, if we know change Europe's mind. Now, if we know change Europe's mind. Now, if we know that Iran launched missiles, it's not a that Iran launched missiles, it's not a that Iran launched missiles, it's not a false flag, it's actually coming from false flag, it's actually coming from false flag, it's actually coming from Iran, and it hits something that's Iran, and it hits something that's Iran, and it hits something that's within range, that might snap the within range, that might snap the within range, that might snap the political apparatus into focus because political apparatus into focus because political apparatus into focus because they'll become more worried about the they'll become more worried about the they'll become more worried about the political backlash of having to tell political backlash of having to tell political backlash of having to tell them, "Yes, we knew this was possible them, "Yes, we knew this was possible them, "Yes, we knew this was possible and we didn't get involved." Uh, this is and we didn't get involved." Uh, this is and we didn't get involved." Uh, this is definitely one where I really hate to definitely one where I really hate to definitely one where I really hate to put this on the table until we have put this on the table until we have put this on the table until we have reason to believe it. But if you look up reason to believe it. But if you look up reason to believe it. But if you look up the sinking of the Lucatania and you the sinking of the Lucatania and you the sinking of the Lucatania and you realize that um countries use for real realize that um countries use for real realize that um countries use for real for real false flags all the time to for real false flags all the time to for real false flags all the time to draw people into war or at a minimum draw people into war or at a minimum draw people into war or at a minimum they will make it possible for the enemy they will make it possible for the enemy they will make it possible for the enemy to actually do the bad thing. Um so to actually do the bad thing. Um so to actually do the bad thing. Um so sometimes it really is the enemy is sometimes it really is the enemy is sometimes it really is the enemy is really just doing the bad thing. Uh really just doing the bad thing. Uh really just doing the bad thing. Uh which seems to be true of the Lucatania. which seems to be true of the Lucatania. which seems to be true of the Lucatania. They stocked it up with so this is what They stocked it up with so this is what They stocked it up with so this is what drew us into World War I. They stocked drew us into World War I.

So they trigger their natural response. So they trigger their natural response. So they built it up so that it would sound like built it up so that it would sound like built it up so that it would sound like a warbo to the hubot that were in the a warbo to the hubot that were in the a warbo to the hubot that were in the region. World War II. I think I said region. World War II. I think I said region. World War II. I think I said World War I. Um so they've got all that World War I. Um so they've got all that World War I. Um so they've got all that going on and now they loaded up with all going on and now they loaded up with all going on and now they loaded up with all this munitions which they ended up for this munitions which they ended up for this munitions which they ended up for years and years and years they denied years and years and years they denied years and years and years they denied it. There were no munitions aboard the it. There were no munitions aboard the it. There were no munitions aboard the Lucatania. Uh somebody went down to the Lucatania. Uh somebody went down to the Lucatania. Uh somebody went down to the wreckage found it was just absolutely wreckage found it was just absolutely wreckage found it was just absolutely jam-packed with munitions. So they lied jam-packed with munitions. So they lied jam-packed with munitions. So they lied about that. So they turn it into this about that. So they turn it into this about that. So they turn it into this boat that sounds like a military boat. boat that sounds like a military boat. boat that sounds like a military boat. Stock it up with passengers.

But god damn it, it is so timeconuming and so frustrating that if timeconuming and so frustrating that if timeconuming and so frustrating that if you don't operate like that in the world you don't operate like that in the world you don't operate like that in the world and you're just like, uh, I just need to and you're just like, uh, I just need to and you're just like, uh, I just need to know what to say to the people that I know what to say to the people that I know what to say to the people that I hate when they give me [ __ ] about the hate when they give me [ __ ] about the hate when they give me [ __ ] about the thing that I believe. like just give me thing that I believe. like just give me thing that I believe. like just give me the talking point please so that I have the talking point please so that I have the talking point please so that I have the thing to repeat they give them the the thing to repeat they give them the the thing to repeat they give them the talking point and they say just say this talking point and they say just say this talking point and they say just say this and then when the person is uh when they and then when the person is uh when they and then when the person is uh when they come back and you say oh man they you come back and you say oh man they you come back and you say oh man they you know they bombed this old people's home know they bombed this old people's home know they bombed this old people's home and then the other person goes well what and then the other person goes well what and then the other person goes well what about the use of white phosphorus and about the use of white phosphorus and about the use of white phosphorus and then they go well what about this is then they go well what about this is then they go well what about this is where the whole idea of what aboutism is where the whole idea of what aboutism is where the whole idea of what aboutism is people just going back and forth with people just going back and forth with people just going back and forth with their talking points and so it's what I their talking points and so it's what I their talking points and so it's what I want to know is what okay you don't want want to know is what okay you don't want want to know is what okay you don't want people to go back and forth with talking people to go back and forth with talking people to go back and forth with talking points what would you like them to points what would you like them to points what would you like them to Because now you're talking about asking Because now you're talking about asking Because now you're talking about asking people to navigate the world in a people to navigate the world in a people to navigate the world in a fundamentally new way. Now I have my fundamentally new way. Now I have my fundamentally new way. Now I have my proposal. Do it from cause and effect. proposal. Do it from cause and effect. proposal. Do it from cause and effect. Say I'm trying to get to this very known Say I'm trying to get to this very known Say I'm trying to get to this very known destination. I can say it very destination. I can say it very destination. I can say it very succinctly. Here are the things that I succinctly. Here are the things that I succinctly. Here are the things that I think lead us to that point and here's think lead us to that point and here's think lead us to that point and here's why. And then someone can go ah why. And then someone can go ah why. And then someone can go ah understood. You're trying to get there understood. You're trying to get there understood. You're trying to get there and I can either debate that's an and I can either debate that's an and I can either debate that's an immoral place to want to go. Cool. We immoral place to want to go. Cool. We immoral place to want to go. Cool. We can have that debate. Or I can say, can have that debate. Or I can say, can have that debate. Or I can say, well, I like where you're going, but I well, I like where you're going, but I well, I like where you're going, but I don't think that's the path to get don't think that's the path to get don't think that's the path to get there. And then if you're doing that, there. And then if you're doing that, there. And then if you're doing that, you can say, here are the base you can say, here are the base you can say, here are the base assumptions or core beliefs, whatever assumptions or core beliefs, whatever assumptions or core beliefs, whatever you want to call it, that one would have you want to call it, that one would have you want to call it, that one would have to believe in order for those steps to to believe in order for those steps to to believe in order for those steps to make sense. And so you can actually go make sense. And so you can actually go make sense. And so you can actually go to the architectural place and say, like to the architectural place and say, like to the architectural place and say, like a real architect would, you are building a real architect would, you are building a real architect would, you are building this on steel that does not have the this on steel that does not have the this on steel that does not have the appropriate tensil strength for the appropriate tensil strength for the appropriate tensil strength for the height of the building that you're height of the building that you're height of the building that you're trying to build. I don't need you to trying to build. I don't need you to trying to build. I don't need you to believe in anything other than [ __ ] believe in anything other than [ __ ] believe in anything other than [ __ ] physics. And so getting people to map physics. And so getting people to map physics. And so getting people to map the world in something akin to the human the world in something akin to the human the world in something akin to the human mind works in a knowable way roughly mind works in a knowable way roughly mind works in a knowable way roughly patterns emerge. Please, I hope that I patterns emerge. Please, I hope that I patterns emerge. Please, I hope that I can convince you all of that. When you can convince you all of that. When you can convince you all of that. When you look at humans on mass, given that those look at humans on mass, given that those look at humans on mass, given that those patterns arise, you're either in patterns arise, you're either in patterns arise, you're either in alignment with the patterns that arise alignment with the patterns that arise alignment with the patterns that arise over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over throughout history or and over and over throughout history or and over and over throughout history or you're not. And if you are, cool. Then you're not. And if you are, cool. Then you're not. And if you are, cool. Then yep, I can see why you would think that yep, I can see why you would think that yep, I can see why you would think that would work. Now, it doesn't mean that it would work. Now, it doesn't mean that it would work. Now, it doesn't mean that it will. Life is very complex, but at least will. Life is very complex, but at least will. Life is very complex, but at least I can track the logic. But most people I can track the logic. But most people I can track the logic. But most people that say uh they don't want to do what that say uh they don't want to do what that say uh they don't want to do what aboutism simply mean that they want you aboutism simply mean that they want you aboutism simply mean that they want you to take at face value their facts and to take at face value their facts and to take at face value their facts and ignore the other facts instead of ignore the other facts instead of ignore the other facts instead of realizing, oh, we're playing a stupid realizing, oh, we're playing a stupid realizing, oh, we're playing a stupid game. So both sides lie. Both sides will game. So both sides lie. Both sides will game. So both sides lie. Both sides will tell you whatever they need to. And I tell you whatever they need to. And I tell you whatever they need to. And I say that because a I think we all see it say that because a I think we all see it say that because a I think we all see it happening and b that's what humans do. happening and b that's what humans do. happening and b that's what humans do. There is a reason humans do that because There is a reason humans do that because There is a reason humans do that because it's effective. Let me be very clear. it's effective. Let me be very clear. it's effective. Let me be very clear. People will do whatever is effective. People will do whatever is effective. People will do whatever is effective.

Yes, that is what she asked a exist? Yes, that is what she asked a exist? Yes, that is what she asked a minute ago and now you're like giving minute ago and now you're like giving minute ago and now you're like giving it. it. it. >> So, this is again um I am simultaneously >> So, this is again um I am simultaneously >> So, this is again um I am simultaneously very impressed with Tucker. He was in very impressed with Tucker. He was in very impressed with Tucker. He was in control here. He was able to like push control here. He was able to like push control here. He was able to like push where he wanted to push. He knew and I where he wanted to push. He knew and I where he wanted to push. He knew and I think she could sense it that he's got a think she could sense it that he's got a think she could sense it that he's got a backup of seven or eight additional backup of seven or eight additional backup of seven or eight additional points that he's prepared to make points that he's prepared to make points that he's prepared to make depending on how she answers this and depending on how she answers this and depending on how she answers this and he's trying to pin her down. Now, when he's trying to pin her down. Now, when he's trying to pin her down. Now, when your goal is to win the argument, this your goal is to win the argument, this your goal is to win the argument, this is a deeply uncomfortable moment. When is a deeply uncomfortable moment. When is a deeply uncomfortable moment. When your goal is to actually find a your goal is to actually find a your goal is to actually find a resolution, it's like, "Oh, this is resolution, it's like, "Oh, this is resolution, it's like, "Oh, this is interesting." Like, let's say I'm on the interesting." Like, let's say I'm on the interesting." Like, let's say I'm on the side of actually I'm not sure what I'm side of actually I'm not sure what I'm side of actually I'm not sure what I'm mapping to, press me and let me see like mapping to, press me and let me see like mapping to, press me and let me see like if I can get there. So, there are times, if I can get there. So, there are times, if I can get there. So, there are times, and I get it, when you're on national and I get it, when you're on national and I get it, when you're on national television, your career is at risk. You television, your career is at risk. You television, your career is at risk. You can go hyperviral. So, the odds of can go hyperviral. So, the odds of can go hyperviral. So, the odds of somebody is going to do this are very, somebody is going to do this are very, somebody is going to do this are very, very low, which is why people need to very low, which is why people need to very low, which is why people need to distrust moments like this. Mhm. distrust moments like this. Mhm. distrust moments like this. Mhm. >> Uh, but also I still think Tucker could >> Uh, but also I still think Tucker could >> Uh, but also I still think Tucker could have really blown people's minds if he have really blown people's minds if he have really blown people's minds if he had shown what And now listen, I'm had shown what And now listen, I'm had shown what And now listen, I'm projecting onto Tucker. This is what I projecting onto Tucker. This is what I projecting onto Tucker. This is what I was thinking during the interview was was thinking during the interview was was thinking during the interview was like, "Okay, you're talking, this is like, "Okay, you're talking, this is like, "Okay, you're talking, this is really a question about violence. How really a question about violence. How really a question about violence. How violent can people be?" Because he goes violent can people be?" Because he goes violent can people be?" Because he goes on to say, and it's probably worth, on to say, and it's probably worth, on to say, and it's probably worth, unless the audience really hates this, unless the audience really hates this, unless the audience really hates this, it's probably worth playing more of it's probably worth playing more of it's probably worth playing more of this. But he goes on to say, "Does this. But he goes on to say, "Does this. But he goes on to say, "Does America have a right to exist?" And America have a right to exist?" And America have a right to exist?" And that's where I would have been like, that's where I would have been like, that's where I would have been like, "Yes, amazing. Perfect. Now we're asking "Yes, amazing. Perfect. Now we're asking "Yes, amazing. Perfect. Now we're asking the right question." In fact, let's set the right question." In fact, let's set the right question." In fact, let's set Israel aside. Does America have a right Israel aside. Does America have a right Israel aside. Does America have a right to exist? Tucker, let's start there. to exist? Tucker, let's start there. to exist? Tucker, let's start there. Because now you've got him in a trap. If Because now you've got him in a trap. If Because now you've got him in a trap. If he says America doesn't have the right he says America doesn't have the right he says America doesn't have the right to exist, his [ __ ] base goes apehit to exist, his [ __ ] base goes apehit to exist, his [ __ ] base goes apehit crazy unless he has a base that I do not crazy unless he has a base that I do not crazy unless he has a base that I do not understand. And so then it's like, okay, understand. And so then it's like, okay, understand. And so then it's like, okay, maybe he says yes, America has a right maybe he says yes, America has a right maybe he says yes, America has a right to exist, but um Israel does not. And to exist, but um Israel does not. And to exist, but um Israel does not. And then you go, okay, what's the then you go, okay, what's the then you go, okay, what's the difference? Or he goes, yes, they have a difference? Or he goes, yes, they have a difference? Or he goes, yes, they have a right to exist, but they don't. No one, right to exist, but they don't. No one, right to exist, but they don't. No one, not Israel, not anybody should be able not Israel, not anybody should be able not Israel, not anybody should be able to go and kill innocents. Okay, word I to go and kill innocents. Okay, word I to go and kill innocents. Okay, word I get, Tucker, why that feels good. That's get, Tucker, why that feels good. That's get, Tucker, why that feels good. That's ludicrous. What you're saying is so ludicrous. What you're saying is so ludicrous. What you're saying is so [ __ ] dumb that now let's talk about [ __ ] dumb that now let's talk about [ __ ] dumb that now let's talk about it. Let's run scenarios and see like it. Let's run scenarios and see like it. Let's run scenarios and see like make him show the cause and effect of make him show the cause and effect of make him show the cause and effect of what's going to happen if you're not what's going to happen if you're not what's going to happen if you're not willing to stand up against people and willing to stand up against people and willing to stand up against people and use violence to back them down. And so use violence to back them down. And so use violence to back them down. And so this could have been a far more this could have been a far more this could have been a far more revelatory, far more useful for the revelatory, far more useful for the revelatory, far more useful for the nation conversation if people were nation conversation if people were nation conversation if people were really willing to lay out like what are really willing to lay out like what are really willing to lay out like what are the base assumptions upon which you're the base assumptions upon which you're the base assumptions upon which you're building your worldview. It was one of building your worldview. It was one of building your worldview. It was one of the things I knew if I start going live, the things I knew if I start going live, the things I knew if I start going live, I'm going to have to in real time I'm going to have to in real time I'm going to have to in real time explain why I think the way that I think explain why I think the way that I think explain why I think the way that I think and inevitably I'm going to run up and inevitably I'm going to run up and inevitably I'm going to run up against oo, I'm actually no longer sure against oo, I'm actually no longer sure against oo, I'm actually no longer sure now what this is predicated on. Um, and now what this is predicated on. Um, and now what this is predicated on. Um, and that for most people is just a that for most people is just a that for most people is just a non-starter. And so they go into talking non-starter. And so they go into talking non-starter. And so they go into talking points, which is exactly what this points, which is exactly what this points, which is exactly what this devolved into. But I would say play it a devolved into. But I would say play it a devolved into. But I would say play it a little bit more. little bit more. little bit more. >> Should it should it continue to exist? >> Should it should it continue to exist? >> Should it should it continue to exist?

It depends. Are you utterly fascinating. It depends. Are you utterly fascinating. It depends. Are you talking about man's law in this moment talking about man's law in this moment talking about man's law in this moment where morally we all have come to an where morally we all have come to an where morally we all have come to an agreement and that's really all it is? agreement and that's really all it is? agreement and that's really all it is? Um that any nation that has uh a set Um that any nation that has uh a set Um that any nation that has uh a set border and has been recognized I guess border and has been recognized I guess border and has been recognized I guess by the international community that they by the international community that they by the international community that they can defend them defend themselves by can defend them defend themselves by can defend them defend themselves by killing other people. Cool. If that's killing other people. Cool. If that's killing other people. Cool. If that's what we mean by right to exist, we now what we mean by right to exist, we now what we mean by right to exist, we now at least have the rules that we need to at least have the rules that we need to at least have the rules that we need to talk about this. If we're talking about talk about this. If we're talking about talk about this. If we're talking about the right as in the law of the jungle, the right as in the law of the jungle, the right as in the law of the jungle, then no, because only the strong have a then no, because only the strong have a then no, because only the strong have a right to anything because they can right to anything because they can right to anything because they can actually defend themselves. Now, you can actually defend themselves. Now, you can actually defend themselves. Now, you can have a conversation. You you have mapped have a conversation. You you have mapped have a conversation. You you have mapped out the landscape that we're going to out the landscape that we're going to out the landscape that we're going to discuss this around. And I think what discuss this around. And I think what discuss this around. And I think what we're finding right now is we all we're finding right now is we all we're finding right now is we all thought we were living in the end of thought we were living in the end of thought we were living in the end of history. The end of history, by the way, history. The end of history, by the way, history. The end of history, by the way, is like a real I forget where it comes is like a real I forget where it comes is like a real I forget where it comes from, but it was like we really thought, from, but it was like we really thought, from, but it was like we really thought, and I definitely put myself in this, uh, and I definitely put myself in this, uh, and I definitely put myself in this, uh, we really thought that like we had found we really thought that like we had found we really thought that like we had found a way to globalize the world, everything a way to globalize the world, everything a way to globalize the world, everything was good now, that countries weren't was good now, that countries weren't was good now, that countries weren't going to invade other countries, that going to invade other countries, that going to invade other countries, that prosperity was just becoming so evenly prosperity was just becoming so evenly prosperity was just becoming so evenly distributed, especially after what distributed, especially after what distributed, especially after what happened in China, and the rate at which happened in China, and the rate at which happened in China, and the rate at which we were pulling people out of poverty, we were pulling people out of poverty, we were pulling people out of poverty, that everybody was just going to be that everybody was just going to be that everybody was just going to be good, like, let's just keep the gravy good, like, let's just keep the gravy good, like, let's just keep the gravy train rolling, only to find out it's not train rolling, only to find out it's not train rolling, only to find out it's not how humans work.

Uh, and so again, I wherever they go. Uh, and so again, I wherever they go. Uh, and so again, I think that's smart and I think every think that's smart and I think every think that's smart and I think every other group should emulate that and other group should emulate that and other group should emulate that and should have their own um representatives should have their own um representatives should have their own um representatives in the world of finance. Making sure in the world of finance. Making sure in the world of finance. Making sure that they're um able to be wildly that they're um able to be wildly that they're um able to be wildly influential in the economy. So telling influential in the economy. So telling influential in the economy. So telling another group to slow down so I can lead another group to slow down so I can lead another group to slow down so I can lead is just [ __ ] stupid. But anyway, they is just [ __ ] stupid. But anyway, they is just [ __ ] stupid.

The flip side of that is no, they're just side of that is no, they're just side of that is no, they're just nefarious. And so they go in, they get nefarious. And so they go in, they get nefarious.

Remember, every politician is be. Remember, every politician is be. Remember, every politician is propagandistic. Um Hassan [ __ ] refers propagandistic. Um Hassan [ __ ] refers propagandistic. Um Hassan [ __ ] refers to himself as a propagandist. Every word to himself as a propagandist. Every word to himself as a propagandist. Every word that I choose is um based on trying to that I choose is um based on trying to that I choose is um based on trying to fit my internal map of the world. So I fit my internal map of the world. So I fit my internal map of the world. So I am making specific choices to articulate am making specific choices to articulate am making specific choices to articulate what ends up being a frame of reference. what ends up being a frame of reference. what ends up being a frame of reference. Now I'm trying to make sure that my Now I'm trying to make sure that my Now I'm trying to make sure that my frame of reference is true, but there's frame of reference is true, but there's frame of reference is true, but there's no doubt there's tons of emotion and all no doubt there's tons of emotion and all no doubt there's tons of emotion and all of that that I'm not able to accurately of that that I'm not able to accurately of that that I'm not able to accurately tease out. So every word out of tease out. So every word out of tease out. So every word out of everybody's mouth is in that sense it's everybody's mouth is in that sense it's everybody's mouth is in that sense it's framing. So, I think Professor Jang framing. So, I think Professor Jang framing. So, I think Professor Jang should be held accountable to what is should be held accountable to what is should be held accountable to what is the cause and effect of the words that the cause and effect of the words that the cause and effect of the words that come out of his mouth. And if you can come out of his mouth. And if you can come out of his mouth. And if you can map cause and effect, now you've got map cause and effect, now you've got map cause and effect, now you've got another frame of reference to step into. another frame of reference to step into. another frame of reference to step into. He's never going to be right about He's never going to be right about He's never going to be right about everything. But if you step into everything. But if you step into everything. But if you step into somebody's frame of reference as a way somebody's frame of reference as a way somebody's frame of reference as a way of updating your own, you're not just of updating your own, you're not just of updating your own, you're not just going to grab it wholesale. You're going going to grab it wholesale. You're going going to grab it wholesale. You're going to step inside of it, look at the world to step inside of it, look at the world to step inside of it, look at the world through their lens, and be like, "Okay, through their lens, and be like, "Okay, through their lens, and be like, "Okay, what parts of this are more predictive what parts of this are more predictive what parts of this are more predictive than the parts of my own worldview?" than the parts of my own worldview?" than the parts of my own worldview?" such that if I adopt them, my predictive such that if I adopt them, my predictive such that if I adopt them, my predictive validity goes up. And you want to grab a validity goes up. And you want to grab a validity goes up. And you want to grab a hold of those things. And so I think hold of those things. And so I think hold of those things. And so I think that whether he is just an aggressive that whether he is just an aggressive that whether he is just an aggressive agent of propaganda or he is sincere, um agent of propaganda or he is sincere, um agent of propaganda or he is sincere, um I think that some of the things that he I think that some of the things that he I think that some of the things that he says have very high predictive validity. says have very high predictive validity. says have very high predictive validity. And so I would adopt those things and And so I would adopt those things and And so I would adopt those things and then ditch everything else. So I don't then ditch everything else. So I don't then ditch everything else. So I don't need somebody to be telling me the truth need somebody to be telling me the truth need somebody to be telling me the truth in an age where I can verify the facts in an age where I can verify the facts in an age where I can verify the facts or disprove the facts myself. And so if or disprove the facts myself. And so if or disprove the facts myself. And so if you guys are doing that, I think you're you guys are doing that, I think you're you guys are doing that, I think you're fine pretty fast. like he's saying fine pretty fast. like he's saying fine pretty fast. like he's saying things that are true. And so, as long as things that are true. And so, as long as things that are true. And so, as long as you're not just like listening to one you're not just like listening to one you're not just like listening to one guy and then adopting his beliefs, it it guy and then adopting his beliefs, it it guy and then adopting his beliefs, it it literally doesn't matter even if he's literally doesn't matter even if he's literally doesn't matter even if he's trying to hurt you. When I was in phase trying to hurt you. When I was in phase trying to hurt you. When I was in phase one of my um YouTube career and all I one of my um YouTube career and all I one of my um YouTube career and all I talked about was mindset, I tried to talked about was mindset, I tried to talked about was mindset, I tried to remind people all the time that the remind people all the time that the remind people all the time that the people trying to hurt my feelings, the people trying to hurt my feelings, the people trying to hurt my feelings, the people trying to damage me in the public people trying to damage me in the public people trying to damage me in the public sphere will use the most true thing they sphere will use the most true thing they sphere will use the most true thing they can get their hands on because it's the can get their hands on because it's the can get their hands on because it's the most likely to be hurtful. Now, that most likely to be hurtful. Now, that most likely to be hurtful. Now, that doesn't mean that people don't use doesn't mean that people don't use doesn't mean that people don't use absolute [ __ ] Of course they do. absolute [ __ ] Of course they do. absolute [ __ ] Of course they do. But people are really going to try to But people are really going to try to But people are really going to try to find a thing that is true and throw it find a thing that is true and throw it find a thing that is true and throw it at you to hurt your feelings. Um, and so at you to hurt your feelings. Um, and so at you to hurt your feelings. Um, and so even if somebody is trying to damage me, even if somebody is trying to damage me, even if somebody is trying to damage me, they may be trying to damage me with the they may be trying to damage me with the they may be trying to damage me with the truth. And so I'm going to go through truth. And so I'm going to go through truth. And so I'm going to go through pull out what are the things that pull out what are the things that pull out what are the things that they're saying that are true and then they're saying that are true and then they're saying that are true and then how do I leverage that to my um how do I leverage that to my um how do I leverage that to my um advantage?

But this is what Habulu is all about. But this is what Habulu is all about. But this is what you're seeing is a generator that's you're seeing is a generator that's you're seeing is a generator that's supplying lights and AC for the supplying lights and AC for the supplying lights and AC for the influencers inside. So, let's go ahead influencers inside. So, let's go ahead influencers inside. So, let's go ahead and take a look at this. Okay, so the vast majority of the island Okay, so the vast majority of the island is completely dark. If you're looking at is completely dark. If you're looking at is completely dark. If you're looking at your screens, you can see there's one your screens, you can see there's one your screens, you can see there's one hotel that seems to still be bumping. hotel that seems to still be bumping. hotel that seems to still be bumping. >> Now, there are going to be a lot of >> Now, there are going to be a lot of >> Now, there are going to be a lot of people that are mad uh about the parties people that are mad uh about the parties people that are mad uh about the parties and the bands going ham in Cuba, but and the bands going ham in Cuba, but and the bands going ham in Cuba, but that really is minor. that really is minor. that really is minor. >> Was it a waste of precious gas to run >> Was it a waste of precious gas to run >> Was it a waste of precious gas to run the generators for a party? Probably. the generators for a party? Probably. the generators for a party? Probably. But I really doubt that it was a choice But I really doubt that it was a choice But I really doubt that it was a choice of having that party or saving lives at of having that party or saving lives at of having that party or saving lives at the hospital. That would require there the hospital. That would require there the hospital. That would require there to be some sort of barter system where to be some sort of barter system where to be some sort of barter system where they're passing the gas back and forth they're passing the gas back and forth they're passing the gas back and forth for them to even know that that kind of for them to even know that that kind of for them to even know that that kind of thing is going on. Should they have thing is going on. Should they have thing is going on. Should they have known that they could take them to local known that they could take them to local known that they could take them to local hospitals and hell? Probably. But that hospitals and hell? Probably. But that hospitals and hell? Probably. But that really isn't the thing to focus on. That really isn't the thing to focus on. That really isn't the thing to focus on. That that is looking at a single tree instead that is looking at a single tree instead that is looking at a single tree instead of the forest. What everyone should be of the forest. What everyone should be of the forest. What everyone should be focused on is the fact that these guys focused on is the fact that these guys focused on is the fact that these guys are running propaganda for an economic are running propaganda for an economic are running propaganda for an economic system that is so willfully ignorant of system that is so willfully ignorant of system that is so willfully ignorant of human nature that it destroys entire human nature that it destroys entire human nature that it destroys entire countries every time it's used causing countries every time it's used causing countries every time it's used causing unending misery and death. And these unending misery and death. And these unending misery and death. And these systems are so bad and they are so hated systems are so bad and they are so hated systems are so bad and they are so hated by the people inside of them. It by the people inside of them.

That is the legacy of the Duranti That is the legacy of the Duranti That is the legacy of the Duranti playbook that we're seeing being run playbook that we're seeing being run playbook that we're seeing being run here in Cuba. Okay. Overfocusing on the here in Cuba. Okay. Overfocusing on the here in Cuba. Okay. Overfocusing on the flotillaa, overfocusing on the generator flotillaa, overfocusing on the generator flotillaa, overfocusing on the generator use is just the wrong play. When you use is just the wrong play. When you use is just the wrong play. When you present communism as being good for present communism as being good for present communism as being good for people, which these useful idiots are people, which these useful idiots are people, which these useful idiots are doing, you ignore history and human doing, you ignore history and human doing, you ignore history and human nature in equal measure, and you prolong nature in equal measure, and you prolong nature in equal measure, and you prolong the inevitable suffering. the inevitable suffering. the inevitable suffering. You don't have to believe that the US is You don't have to believe that the US is You don't have to believe that the US is doing a good thing by stopping Venezuela doing a good thing by stopping Venezuela doing a good thing by stopping Venezuela from selling oil to Cuba to understand from selling oil to Cuba to understand from selling oil to Cuba to understand that communism has kept the people of that communism has kept the people of that communism has kept the people of Cuba in a horrible place for decades.

But when you put those three things But when you put those three things But when you put those three things together, you end up getting these together, you end up getting these together, you end up getting these murderous regimes because this it murderous regimes because this it murderous regimes because this it violates the way that human beings violates the way that human beings violates the way that human beings actually are. actually are. actually are. And so when you've got contempt for And so when you've got contempt for And so when you've got contempt for capitalism combined with a worldview capitalism combined with a worldview capitalism combined with a worldview that reasons from emotion rather than that reasons from emotion rather than that reasons from emotion rather than cause and effect, only disaster awaits cause and effect, only disaster awaits cause and effect, only disaster awaits you.

All right, let's jump over to >> Yeah. All right, let's jump over to >> Yeah. All right, let's jump over to culture. Now, there was a couple things culture. Now, there was a couple things culture. Now, there was a couple things on this list that I wanted to get to, on this list that I wanted to get to, on this list that I wanted to get to, but I want to start with the but I want to start with the but I want to start with the introspection causes emotional disorder. introspection causes emotional disorder. introspection causes emotional disorder. This was hilarious. And for those that This was hilarious. And for those that This was hilarious. And for those that don't know, Mark Andre was in an don't know, Mark Andre was in an don't know, Mark Andre was in an interview and basically said he doesn't interview and basically said he doesn't interview and basically said he doesn't think about introspection. Like, the think about introspection. Like, the think about introspection. Like, the past is a past, I just move on. And past is a past, I just move on. And past is a past, I just move on. And then, of course, the internet runs with then, of course, the internet runs with then, of course, the internet runs with that. People were memeing Marcus that. People were memeing Marcus that. People were memeing Marcus Aurelius books that said like no Aurelius books that said like no Aurelius books that said like no meditations or unmeditations and things meditations or unmeditations and things meditations or unmeditations and things like that. And then um so Mark Andre like that. And then um so Mark Andre like that. And then um so Mark Andre retweeted it after the conclusion. My retweeted it after the conclusion. My retweeted it after the conclusion. My big conclusion from this week, big conclusion from this week, big conclusion from this week, introspection causes emotional introspection causes emotional introspection causes emotional disorders. Elon retweeted it. disorders. Elon retweeted it. disorders. Elon retweeted it. Reinforcing negative neuropathways via Reinforcing negative neuropathways via Reinforcing negative neuropathways via therapy or introspection is a recipe for therapy or introspection is a recipe for therapy or introspection is a recipe for misery.

But now knowing that it things together. But now knowing that it has been codified into something known has been codified into something known has been codified into something known as cognitive behavioral therapy as cognitive behavioral therapy as cognitive behavioral therapy >> was life-changing for me. Um because >> was life-changing for me. Um because >> was life-changing for me. Um because what I found was I would become whatever what I found was I would become whatever what I found was I would become whatever I repeated. I started researching the I repeated. I started researching the I repeated. I started researching the brain and realizing what Elon's talking brain and realizing what Elon's talking brain and realizing what Elon's talking about is a process called mileelination. about is a process called mileelination. about is a process called mileelination. So you're we have this dual impulse from So you're we have this dual impulse from So you're we have this dual impulse from an evolutionary perspective where I want an evolutionary perspective where I want an evolutionary perspective where I want to be active and go out and hunt and to be active and go out and hunt and to be active and go out and hunt and kill and face danger and procreate and kill and face danger and procreate and kill and face danger and procreate and all of that. And then I have the all of that. And then I have the all of that. And then I have the alternate which is to lay on the couch, alternate which is to lay on the couch, alternate which is to lay on the couch, chill, eat a bag of chips, um, and just chill, eat a bag of chips, um, and just chill, eat a bag of chips, um, and just do nothing. do nothing. do nothing. >> And I was always, why is that true? And >> And I was always, why is that true? And >> And I was always, why is that true? And the reason that's true is that your the reason that's true is that your the reason that's true is that your calories historically have been calories historically have been calories historically have been ridiculously hard to come by. The brain ridiculously hard to come by. The brain ridiculously hard to come by. The brain uses the vast majority of the calories uses the vast majority of the calories uses the vast majority of the calories per like body weight. Like three pounds per like body weight. Like three pounds per like body weight. Like three pounds of mass use 25% of your body's caloric of mass use 25% of your body's caloric of mass use 25% of your body's caloric intake. So from a just physical makeup intake. So from a just physical makeup intake. So from a just physical makeup of your body, it is ridiculous. in terms of your body, it is ridiculous. in terms of your body, it is ridiculous. in terms of how much energy it requires. And so of how much energy it requires. And so of how much energy it requires. And so the brain has to go, okay, I have to the brain has to go, okay, I have to the brain has to go, okay, I have to become really efficient. So whatever I become really efficient. So whatever I become really efficient. So whatever I repeat, I'm gonna insulate those repeat, I'm gonna insulate those repeat, I'm gonna insulate those connections in the brain so that the connections in the brain so that the connections in the brain so that the electrical impulses can travel faster electrical impulses can travel faster electrical impulses can travel faster and it requires less energy to run this and it requires less energy to run this and it requires less energy to run this thing. It's really brilliant. thing. It's really brilliant. thing. It's really brilliant. >> But that means whatever you think about >> But that means whatever you think about >> But that means whatever you think about all the time becomes the easiest thing all the time becomes the easiest thing all the time becomes the easiest thing to think about. Whatever you feel all to think about. Whatever you feel all to think about. Whatever you feel all the time becomes the easiest thing to the time becomes the easiest thing to the time becomes the easiest thing to feel. And so, um, like take overwhelm. I feel. And so, um, like take overwhelm. I feel. And so, um, like take overwhelm. I realized with my level of ambition, I realized with my level of ambition, I realized with my level of ambition, I was always taking on a lot of projects. was always taking on a lot of projects. was always taking on a lot of projects. And so, I would get this feeling the the And so, I would get this feeling the the And so, I would get this feeling the the easiest way to explain it is it felt easiest way to explain it is it felt easiest way to explain it is it felt internally like the revving of a car internally like the revving of a car internally like the revving of a car engine where you're stopped at a light, engine where you're stopped at a light, engine where you're stopped at a light, but you just slam on the gas pedal and but you just slam on the gas pedal and but you just slam on the gas pedal and you hear that screaming and it like the you hear that screaming and it like the you hear that screaming and it like the thing pegs into the red. thing pegs into the red. thing pegs into the red. >> And that's what it felt like. My brain >> And that's what it felt like. My brain >> And that's what it felt like. My brain was trying to speed up to keep up with was trying to speed up to keep up with was trying to speed up to keep up with all the variables that I was trying to all the variables that I was trying to all the variables that I was trying to track. And it was a miserable feeling. track. And it was a miserable feeling. track. And it was a miserable feeling. And so I started saying to myself, I And so I started saying to myself, I And so I started saying to myself, I don't do overwhelm. don't do overwhelm. don't do overwhelm. And by saying that, it would act as a And by saying that, it would act as a And by saying that, it would act as a pattern interrupt to whatever that pattern interrupt to whatever that pattern interrupt to whatever that biological process was, it would start biological process was, it would start biological process was, it would start speeding up. And so simply by telling speeding up. And so simply by telling speeding up. And so simply by telling myself, I don't do overwhelm. It would myself, I don't do overwhelm. It would myself, I don't do overwhelm. It would interrupt that and it wouldn't hardwire. interrupt that and it wouldn't hardwire. interrupt that and it wouldn't hardwire. And so I started thinking, it's very And so I started thinking, it's very And so I started thinking, it's very interesting. I cannot stop myself from interesting. I cannot stop myself from interesting. I cannot stop myself from thinking the first thought, but I can thinking the first thought, but I can thinking the first thought, but I can stop myself from repeating it. stop myself from repeating it. stop myself from repeating it. >> And so if I think just take a negative >> And so if I think just take a negative >> And so if I think just take a negative thing, I'm a loser. I'm never going to thing, I'm a loser. I'm never going to thing, I'm a loser. I'm never going to do what I want in life. That was all of do what I want in life. That was all of do what I want in life. That was all of my early 20s. Uh I would just say I my early 20s. Uh I would just say I my early 20s. Uh I would just say I don't allow myself to think negatively don't allow myself to think negatively don't allow myself to think negatively about myself, even if it's true. And the about myself, even if it's true. And the about myself, even if it's true. And the reason that I would say that is because reason that I would say that is because reason that I would say that is because as I would loop on that, I could feel as I would loop on that, I could feel as I would loop on that, I could feel that becoming the dominant emotion that that becoming the dominant emotion that that becoming the dominant emotion that I was having. I was having. I was having. >> And when I started saying, "Nope, I >> And when I started saying, "Nope, I >> And when I started saying, "Nope, I don't do that. I don't repeat that. I'm don't do that. I don't repeat that. I'm don't do that. I don't repeat that. I'm not going to allow myself to think about not going to allow myself to think about not going to allow myself to think about that." It broke me out of those that." It broke me out of those that." It broke me out of those patterns. And all of the brain science patterns. And all of the brain science patterns. And all of the brain science wasn't there yet. So, I was just having wasn't there yet. So, I was just having wasn't there yet. So, I was just having to make this stuff up on the fly because to make this stuff up on the fly because to make this stuff up on the fly because this is back in the 90s. But it was um this is back in the 90s. But it was um this is back in the 90s. But it was um it was so transformative that even when it was so transformative that even when it was so transformative that even when people started saying like, "Oh, talking people started saying like, "Oh, talking people started saying like, "Oh, talking about all your problems and all that, about all your problems and all that, about all your problems and all that, like that's what you need." Listen, like that's what you need." Listen, like that's what you need." Listen, there can be a very brief cathartic there can be a very brief cathartic there can be a very brief cathartic thing to put words to a thing. Um but thing to put words to a thing. Um but thing to put words to a thing. Um but then you've got to stop talking about it then you've got to stop talking about it then you've got to stop talking about it and move the [ __ ] on like no matter and move the [ __ ] on like no matter and move the [ __ ] on like no matter what. And that one-two punch of like, what. And that one-two punch of like, what. And that one-two punch of like, okay, I'm going to articulate this, make okay, I'm going to articulate this, make okay, I'm going to articulate this, make sure that I understand it, and then I'm sure that I understand it, and then I'm sure that I understand it, and then I'm I'm done. I'm not going to allow myself I'm done. I'm not going to allow myself I'm done. I'm not going to allow myself to think about that. I'm going to to think about that. I'm going to to think about that. I'm going to compartmentalize. I'm going to lock in a compartmentalize. I'm going to lock in a compartmentalize. I'm going to lock in a box, throw it in the ocean, and I'm not box, throw it in the ocean, and I'm not box, throw it in the ocean, and I'm not going to repeat that stuff. It worked so going to repeat that stuff. It worked so going to repeat that stuff. It worked so well. But trying to get people to well. But trying to get people to well. But trying to get people to understand that that's not really the understand that that's not really the understand that that's not really the play. Therapy is powerful, but you've play. Therapy is powerful, but you've play. Therapy is powerful, but you've got to use the right kind of therapy. got to use the right kind of therapy. got to use the right kind of therapy. And just wallowing in your grief, And just wallowing in your grief, And just wallowing in your grief, wallowing in your misery is going to wallowing in your misery is going to wallowing in your misery is going to literally at a physical level make that literally at a physical level make that literally at a physical level make that the easiest thing for you to think the easiest thing for you to think the easiest thing for you to think about, feel, talk about. about, feel, talk about. about, feel, talk about. It's bad. And yet that's what people do. It's bad. And yet that's what people do. It's bad. And yet that's what people do. So your secret sauce was the pattern So your secret sauce was the pattern So your secret sauce was the pattern interrupt. So it's not that you didn't interrupt. So it's not that you didn't interrupt. So it's not that you didn't introspect, it's that you introspect to introspect, it's that you introspect to introspect, it's that you introspect to a point where you found the root of the a point where you found the root of the a point where you found the root of the cause, let's call it, you introduce the cause, let's call it, you introduce the cause, let's call it, you introduce the pattern intercept and then that was what pattern intercept and then that was what pattern intercept and then that was what helped you overcome that specific line helped you overcome that specific line helped you overcome that specific line of questioning that you didn't have to of questioning that you didn't have to of questioning that you didn't have to go down that road repeatedly. go down that road repeatedly. go down that road repeatedly. >> Yes. I would pattern interrupt anything >> Yes. I would pattern interrupt anything >> Yes. I would pattern interrupt anything that was low utility. that was low utility. that was low utility. >> And so if it made me feel badly about >> And so if it made me feel badly about >> And so if it made me feel badly about myself and that wasn't serving me, then myself and that wasn't serving me, then myself and that wasn't serving me, then I wouldn't do it. Even if it was true, I wouldn't do it. Even if it was true, I wouldn't do it. Even if it was true, like, "Hey, you really [ __ ] that thing like, "Hey, you really [ __ ] that thing like, "Hey, you really [ __ ] that thing up." and be like, "Yeah, and I'm going up." and be like, "Yeah, and I'm going up." and be like, "Yeah, and I'm going to take a lesson from it, and then I'm to take a lesson from it, and then I'm to take a lesson from it, and then I'm never going to think about the [ __ ] up never going to think about the [ __ ] up never going to think about the [ __ ] up again. I'm just going to think about the again. I'm just going to think about the again. I'm just going to think about the lesson." And so every time I would have lesson." And so every time I would have lesson." And so every time I would have that flash, like anybody else of like, that flash, like anybody else of like, that flash, like anybody else of like, "Oh, [ __ ] That really sucked." "Oh, [ __ ] That really sucked." "Oh, [ __ ] That really sucked." >> I would just go, "Yeah, but you got >> I would just go, "Yeah, but you got >> I would just go, "Yeah, but you got this." And so then I'd be like, "This this." And so then I'd be like, "This this." And so then I'd be like, "This this positive thing." And I would think this positive thing." And I would think this positive thing." And I would think endlessly about the positive thing endlessly about the positive thing endlessly about the positive thing because that would become the easier because that would become the easier because that would become the easier thing to think about. And then it really thing to think about. And then it really thing to think about. And then it really did become a negative thing. I would did become a negative thing. I would did become a negative thing. I would have a negative thought and it would have a negative thought and it would have a negative thought and it would trigger the positive thing that came out trigger the positive thing that came out trigger the positive thing that came out of it. And I would think about that, go of it. And I would think about that, go of it. And I would think about that, go deploy it, use it. And it was like, oh, deploy it, use it. And it was like, oh, deploy it, use it. And it was like, oh, this is like the the negative thing this is like the the negative thing this is like the the negative thing becomes a catalyst, but the only thought becomes a catalyst, but the only thought becomes a catalyst, but the only thought that I repeat is to take action, to that I repeat is to take action, to that I repeat is to take action, to focus on the lesson, all of that. And focus on the lesson, all of that. And focus on the lesson, all of that. And that became really useful. that became really useful. that became really useful. >> So on one side, let's say you turned >> So on one side, let's say you turned >> So on one side, let's say you turned down the negative thoughts through this down the negative thoughts through this down the negative thoughts through this pattern interrupt method. Is there a way pattern interrupt method. Is there a way pattern interrupt method. Is there a way that you kind of ramped up positive that you kind of ramped up positive that you kind of ramped up positive thoughts or reinforce positive habits to thoughts or reinforce positive habits to thoughts or reinforce positive habits to kind of create new myelin? Is there a kind of create new myelin? Is there a kind of create new myelin? Is there a way because it's one thing to not think way because it's one thing to not think way because it's one thing to not think bad about yourself anymore, but that bad about yourself anymore, but that bad about yourself anymore, but that still isn't the way to get aligned with still isn't the way to get aligned with still isn't the way to get aligned with your goals 110%. Is there something on your goals 110%. Is there something on your goals 110%. Is there something on the positive side you can do to the positive side you can do to the positive side you can do to reinforce that or get your reinforce that or get your reinforce that or get your >> you become what you repeat. >> you become what you repeat. >> you become what you repeat. >> So what whatever you do frequently will >> So what whatever you do frequently will >> So what whatever you do frequently will become easier and so then you're going become easier and so then you're going become easier and so then you're going to do it even more. So it becomes a to do it even more. So it becomes a to do it even more. So it becomes a self-reinforcing loop. self-reinforcing loop. self-reinforcing loop. >> Um and then if you don't want the >> Um and then if you don't want the >> Um and then if you don't want the outcome of your behaviors then you'll outcome of your behaviors then you'll outcome of your behaviors then you'll never stick with it. And if you don't never stick with it. And if you don't never stick with it. And if you don't believe that you can get better, you believe that you can get better, you believe that you can get better, you won't stick with it. But if you believe won't stick with it. But if you believe won't stick with it. But if you believe you can get better and you actually want you can get better and you actually want you can get better and you actually want the thing you're pursuing, then it's the thing you're pursuing, then it's the thing you're pursuing, then it's just about repetition. just about repetition. just about repetition. >> Copy.
