WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160 In 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.120 Like Trump would start a war with Iran. 3 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.360 And you've made a series of new predictions. 4 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.520 Yes, and I'll explain each prediction one by one. 5 00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:14.480 Okay, so first, I predict that but we'll get a third term. 6 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.400 But isn't this constitution illegal? 7 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:19.480 It's not. The president now has emergency war powers. 8 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.160 And so he can actually delay the election. 9 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.080 My second prediction is, Iran is another forever war 10 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:26.160 and the United States will institute a national draft, 11 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.120 meaning that you're between 18 and 24 in America and your mail. 12 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.720 You'll be unlikely to put into the draft system. 13 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:34.240 And they just pass a law that says that starting December, 14 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.920 you will be unlikely to register, 15 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.720 which means you'll be obliged to go and fight. 16 00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:42.360 Exactly. Next, the world will move towards an AI surveillance state. 17 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:43.840 So if you do online, 18 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.000 it's being recorded to figure out how to control you. 19 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.680 And then this is most controversial prediction. 20 00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:50.040 This is pretty bad. 21 00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:51.240 And I'll explain why. 22 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.320 And also, I will tell you why it's working only lead to a war three. 23 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.080 Why? There's a very strong possibility 24 00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.680 that the American Empire will collapse. 25 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.640 And also, I'll show you what the Russians will do 26 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.160 and how the private bankers are controlling you. 27 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:05.680 I'm not owned by anybody. That's what you think. 28 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.960 So let's talk about that. 29 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.080 Guys, I've got a favor to ask before this episode begins. 30 00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:21.480 The algorithm, if you follow a show, will deliver you 31 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.480 the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. 32 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.600 So when we have our best episodes on this show, 33 00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:28.680 the most shared episodes, the most rated episodes, 34 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.880 I would love you to know. 35 00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:31.560 And the simple way for you to know that 36 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.880 is to hit that follow button. 37 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.640 But also, it's the simple, easy, free thing 38 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.400 that you can do to help us make the show better. 39 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.000 I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute 40 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.680 on the app you're listening to this one right now 41 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.800 and hit that follow button. 42 00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.920 Thank you so, so, so much. 43 00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:54.760 Professor Dianne. 44 00:01:55.720 --> 00:01:57.280 There's so much going on in the world at the moment 45 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.560 that it's quite confusing for an ordinary person like me 46 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.480 and you've blown up across the internet 47 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.400 because you've been able to demystify all of this craziness. 48 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.800 But also, because in 2024, you made three predictions 49 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.400 that have come perfectly true. 50 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:17.280 Some might say, unfortunately. 51 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.240 Unfortunately, yes. 52 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.800 What were those three predictions? 53 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.920 My first prediction was that Trump would win 54 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.320 in November, 2024. 55 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:30.320 Second prediction is that he would start a war against Iran. 56 00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:32.800 And the third prediction is that the United States 57 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.720 would lose this war and then lose this war. 58 00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:39.760 This would radically reshape the geopolitical landscape. 59 00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:43.840 How did you know that Trump would start a war with Iran? 60 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.840 The simple answer is this. 61 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.040 The United States have invented Iran 62 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:52.000 because it has no choice in the matter. 63 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.880 If it were not to invade Iran, it would lose its empire. 64 00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:00.160 Its empire is based purely on the US dollar, 65 00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:03.320 the petrodollar, which is a Ponzi scheme. 66 00:03:03.320 --> 00:03:05.120 If it did not invade Iran, 67 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.080 then people would choose not to trade with it anymore. 68 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.160 People would choose to not buy US treasuries. 69 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:13.000 Why? 70 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.960 For the longest time, this system worked fine. 71 00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:23.920 But then, in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. 72 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:24.520 Yeah. 73 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.800 That was not the issue. 74 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.640 The issue was the American response. 75 00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:32.640 The American response was to sanction Russia 76 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:37.280 and remove Russia from the swift global payment system. 77 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.480 It also ordered Europeans to freeze over $200 billion 78 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:45.960 in Russian assets. 79 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.400 And this is a problem. 80 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.120 This is a very basis for having the US dollar 81 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.880 as the global reserve currency is that it would remain politically neutral. 82 00:03:56.880 --> 00:04:01.520 It, it, the Americans guaranteed seamless, 83 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.240 completely neutral in an national exchange. 84 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.640 So if this trend continues, right? 85 00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:11.880 If you don't know anything about Russia, 86 00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:13.880 Russia would take over Ukraine. 87 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:21.000 And Russia then would build alliance with China and Iran. 88 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.840 If you look at these three countries on the map, 89 00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:24.760 Russia, China, and Iran, 90 00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:28.160 this is the entire Asian continent. 91 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.520 And then what they can do is this. 92 00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:34.320 They can say, okay, the United States is a bully. 93 00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:37.680 They forced us to play by the rules. 94 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.800 They get very angry if we don't play by the rules. 95 00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:44.080 So let's not play with the United States anymore. 96 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:46.880 Let's just trade amongst ourselves. 97 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:50.320 And then what they can do is they can build a 98 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.800 Eurasian railway system, 99 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.720 connecting Russia, Iran, and China together. 100 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:01.680 And then what this would do is negate American sea power 101 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.680 because it's American ships that patrol and protect the oceans. 102 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.680 And then what happened is the world, Europe, 103 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.680 Middle East, Africa, India, East Asia, 104 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.680 would look at the Sweden block and think themselves, 105 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.680 wow, these guys, the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese, 106 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.680 they use gold as their medium of exchange. 107 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.680 Gold is valuable. 108 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.000 The Americans, on the other hand, 109 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.760 use yours dollars as the medium of exchange, 110 00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:40.680 which is not valuable. 111 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.560 So am I better off with the American system, 112 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.080 with this new brick system? 113 00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:47.080 What's bricks? 114 00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:47.920 It's an acronym. 115 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.920 It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, China. 116 00:05:54.080 --> 00:05:56.960 So I'm already thinking because Iran, Russia, 117 00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:58.400 and China were colluding. 118 00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.440 It threatened U.S. dominance, 119 00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:03.800 which is driven by the world using the dollar 120 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.080 as the primary currency for trading. 121 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:07.920 That's correct. 122 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.760 Okay. So they felt they needed to invade 123 00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:11.920 because then they can control more of the Middle East. 124 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.200 Right. So by attacking Iran, something's happened. 125 00:06:16.200 --> 00:06:21.400 The first thing that happened is that China 126 00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:25.680 is outcut off from Middle East energy. 127 00:06:26.640 --> 00:06:30.480 China receives anywhere between 50 to 6% 128 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.760 of its energy needs from the Middle East. 129 00:06:33.760 --> 00:06:36.400 Not just Iran, but also Qatar and Saudi Arabia. 130 00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:39.360 A lot of people say that China today, 131 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.280 it's reliant on renewables, solar, wind, 132 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:44.880 and that's true to a certain extent. 133 00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:48.240 Remember that China, it is an industrial powerhouse. 134 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.480 So it needs energy from everywhere and everyone. 135 00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:57.520 So the fact that China is losing all this energy 136 00:06:57.520 --> 00:06:59.440 from the Middle East presents China 137 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:02.640 with a long-term strategic vulnerability. 138 00:07:02.640 --> 00:07:04.920 That's the first thing that happens. 139 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.840 So the thing that happens is that Europe is not a trouble, 140 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:13.680 because of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, 141 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.680 Russian energy was sanctioned. 142 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.920 And so we light more on the Middle East for its energy needs, 143 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.120 especially Qatar. 144 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.400 Now, your personal loss, all of this oil. 145 00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:30.520 And then you have Japan and South Korea, 146 00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:33.080 these two powerful East Asian economies 147 00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:37.560 are also reliant on the Middle East for its energy. 148 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.120 So another question is, if you're not getting your energy 149 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.960 from the Middle East, where can you get your energy from? 150 00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:45.680 And there's only two answers. 151 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.960 Either Russia or the United States. 152 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.680 Russia is at war. 153 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.320 And what's happening is the Ukrainian drones 154 00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:57.040 are attacking Russian oil refineries and export hubs. 155 00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:03.440 So the world in the short term has no choice 156 00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:08.040 but to look to America for its energy needs. 157 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.240 And what did Trump do recently? 158 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:15.240 He took over Venezuela, which has the world's greatest oil reserves. 159 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.240 He's threatening Canada, he's threatening Greenland, 160 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.240 Mexico, Colombia. 161 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.240 If Trump controls the entire Western hemisphere, 162 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:32.240 the entire world has to beg Trump for energy and resources 163 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:38.240 and it saves both the US dollar as well as American empire. 164 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.240 So as part of your prediction in 2024, I believe it was, 165 00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:45.680 you said that the US would lose this war. 166 00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:46.680 Right. 167 00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:51.000 Why did you predict that the US will lose this war with Iran? 168 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:56.000 Because the American society does not have the political will, 169 00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.720 does not have the manufacturer capacity, 170 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.720 does not have the risk tolerance to fight this war in Iran. 171 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:10.000 Basically America wants to fight this war as cheaply, 172 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.840 as easily and as quickly as possible. 173 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.880 Right. So Trump really fought that. 174 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:21.040 You know, if I sent my airplanes to strike Iran 175 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:23.960 and kill the Atatola, they would just surrender. 176 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.120 There was literally his plan going into this war. 177 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.480 He paid no attention to the culture. 178 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.160 He paid no attention to the history of the Iranian people. 179 00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:39.120 He had up to no respect for the nation. 180 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.760 And when you do that, when you disrespect your opponent, 181 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:43.360 when you underestimate your opponent, 182 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.600 when you yourself are not willing to commit to the fight, 183 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.320 you're going to lose. 184 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.840 So Iran's game just to draw this out as long as they possibly can. 185 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.600 How they, you know, because he's taken out the leaders. 186 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.280 And then you also think that Trump thought that just, 187 00:09:58.280 --> 00:09:59.800 if I've just bombed the leader, 188 00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:04.040 then everything will sort of regenerate itself and will be fine. 189 00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:06.560 What was the sort of fundamental misunderstanding? 190 00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:10.000 There's a lot of confusion as to how this war started. 191 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.560 Even today, no one actually knows how this war started. 192 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.560 But I think that Trump given his personality. 193 00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:23.560 He was convinced that if he killed the leadership of Iran, 194 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.240 then they would have no choice but to surrender. 195 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.040 And his proof of concept was, of course, 196 00:10:32.040 --> 00:10:34.280 on during the third of this year, 197 00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:37.080 Donald Force went into Venezuela, 198 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.800 kidnapped Maduro, and this completely surrendered. 199 00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:43.480 So in total's mind, he went to replay 200 00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:46.920 the Venezuela scenario. 201 00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:50.720 And he didn't realize that Iran is fundamentally different 202 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.200 from Venezuela. 203 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.760 The short answer is, he is a reality B star. 204 00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:58.160 He thinks in terms of optics. 205 00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:00.560 He doesn't think thick in terms of geopolitical strategy. 206 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:04.800 But long answer is that the American military 207 00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:09.280 has become a corrupt and insular institution 208 00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:13.160 that is trying to generate as much commercial funding 209 00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:17.680 as possible in order to fund the military industrial complex. 210 00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:20.200 Did he think that he was gonna bomb Iran? 211 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.960 The people would rise up. 212 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.680 They would elect a new government and that would be that. 213 00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:27.520 And then he could control Iran. 214 00:11:27.520 --> 00:11:29.720 That's exactly what he thought. 215 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.480 So what I want to do now is go to the map, all right? 216 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.440 Show you what he got wrong. 217 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.440 All right, so this is a map of the Middle East. 218 00:11:40.280 --> 00:11:45.320 And the first thing to notice about this map 219 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.560 is the topography. 220 00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:48.400 What does that mean? 221 00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:50.520 How many mountains you have? 222 00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:55.600 So what's really interesting is that the topography 223 00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:00.200 between Iraq and Iran are completely different. 224 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.800 And this is important because in 2003, 225 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:08.360 the Americans invaded Iraq and they won the war 226 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.320 in about two weeks. 227 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.520 And the reason why they won the war 228 00:12:12.520 --> 00:12:16.320 is the Americans practice something called stock and all. 229 00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:24.760 The idea of stock and all is that it is a military strategy 230 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.560 that believes that if you cut off the head of the snake, 231 00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:33.440 the snake will die, the decapitation strike. 232 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:38.440 And so what they did was they went into Baghdad, 233 00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:44.560 seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed 234 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.640 and the war was over. 235 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.600 And they were able to do this because of the topography. 236 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.640 If you look at the map of Iraq, it's all flat, 237 00:12:57.640 --> 00:12:59.480 it's all desert. 238 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.520 Meaning that you can just fly in your planes, 239 00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:08.200 cut off the head of the snake and the war is over. 240 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.040 There's actually no way you can defend against 241 00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:17.040 air strikes because you're entirely a desert. 242 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:23.320 Now, let's go to listen to topography of Iran. 243 00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:27.240 And Iran is all mountainous. 244 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:32.240 In fact, you can make the argument that Iran is a fortress. 245 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.960 And so the first thing is that Iran 246 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.600 can choose to fight a war of attrition. 247 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.160 What's a war of attrition? 248 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:51.200 A war of attrition is a game of uncle. 249 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.040 What's that? 250 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.640 A game of uncle is where we don't have enough power 251 00:13:56.640 --> 00:13:58.000 to destroy each other. 252 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.760 So what we're trying to do is we try to create 253 00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:03.120 pain points, leverage points 254 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.080 to force you to submit to cry uncle. 255 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:14.080 So because Iran is too large and that's 92 million people, 256 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.400 it's impossible for the Americans 257 00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:20.000 and it's really to destroy Iran. 258 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.840 So what you're trying to do instead is 259 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.840 bomb enough targets so that they recognize 260 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.960 that resistance is futile and it's surrender. 261 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.000 That's the extent of the strategy. 262 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.800 But again, the problem with this is that one, 263 00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:39.520 Iran is much too big. 264 00:14:39.520 --> 00:14:43.120 Number two is that it is a mountain fortress 265 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.120 which means that you can hide your weapons 266 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.400 and your military inside mountains, right? 267 00:14:50.400 --> 00:14:54.400 Which allows you to conduct a guerrilla warfare strategy 268 00:14:54.400 --> 00:14:56.920 against your opponent. 269 00:14:56.920 --> 00:15:00.040 And this is exactly what Iran is doing right now 270 00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:01.560 where their underground missile bases 271 00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:04.880 are hidden inside the mountains 272 00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:07.440 and then they're able to strike target 273 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.320 throughout the Middle East, 274 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.920 primarily American bases but also energy installations 275 00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:17.960 that are key to the American petrodollar system. 276 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:19.760 And so it's again uncle, 277 00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:21.920 where the Americans are trying to create 278 00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:25.240 as much damage as possible in a nation 279 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:29.200 and the Iranian response is trying to destroy 280 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.360 as much of the global economy as possible 281 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.760 to force the world to push America to call the war off. 282 00:15:36.760 --> 00:15:39.400 So that's a situation we are facing right now. 283 00:15:39.400 --> 00:15:42.400 Second thing that Trump got wrong 284 00:15:42.400 --> 00:15:45.320 is how vulnerable the global economy is 285 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.160 because the Iranians can trust something 286 00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:50.000 called the Shreve who moves. 287 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.520 And as you can see on this map, 288 00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:53.840 as you should who moves, 289 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:58.840 it's a very, very narrow piece of land. 290 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.520 It's only about 33 kilometers across. 291 00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:07.080 You can actually swim across the Shreve who moves. 292 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.240 And what this is important is that you see 293 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:16.240 that exports 20% of the world's energy. 294 00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:17.560 The G's, did you want? 295 00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:19.960 The Gulf Cooperative Council. 296 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.360 So the Gulf Cooper Council are certain nations 297 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.480 in the Middle East that align politically. 298 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.160 So they include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, 299 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.200 the UAE, Oman, Iran, Kuwait. 300 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.520 They've been exporting energy, 301 00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:39.720 but not just energy, 302 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.240 but also a lot of byproducts of energy production 303 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.360 including fertilizer to the world, 304 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.720 primarily East Asia and India. 305 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:54.720 When we turn, they've been getting food back. 306 00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:58.120 So most people don't appreciate this, 307 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:03.120 but the GCC actually imports 89% of its food needs. 308 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.000 The reason why is that they become so rich 309 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.880 these past few decades 310 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.400 that the populations have blown up. 311 00:17:12.320 --> 00:17:16.040 And as a result, they have to feed their population, 312 00:17:16.040 --> 00:17:19.320 but they don't have agricultural resources. 313 00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:21.960 They also don't have water resources. 314 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.560 And so they have two major vulnerabilities, 315 00:17:24.560 --> 00:17:26.600 which is food and water. 316 00:17:26.600 --> 00:17:29.120 And they have a lot of these salination plants 317 00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:30.400 around the area. 318 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.240 And so. 319 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.520 It's a dissimilation plant. 320 00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:34.520 Okay. 321 00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:36.480 So a dissimilation plant 322 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.960 takes salt water from the seas 323 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.520 and then food and electrical chemical process 324 00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:44.320 turns it into portable water 325 00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:48.040 that people can use for drinking purposes 326 00:17:48.040 --> 00:17:50.520 and for agricultural purposes. 327 00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:52.000 Again, right? 328 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.080 So as you can see, the entire area, 329 00:17:55.080 --> 00:17:57.240 it is extremely vulnerable 330 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:01.200 to drone and missile attacks from Iran. 331 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.840 So that's the second thing that Iran has done 332 00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:04.480 which Trump did not expect. 333 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.640 He didn't expect that the Iranians 334 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.640 would close off the straight off removes. 335 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.480 And how the Iranians were going to close 336 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.720 off the shoulder who moves was just by threatening 337 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.680 to attack any ships that wanted to cross it. 338 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.440 The reason why is that these ships depend 339 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.640 on maritime insurance in order to operate. 340 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.080 But it is a risk, a very high risk of being destroyed 341 00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:33.480 then you will not need to get insurance. 342 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.320 Okay. 343 00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:37.280 Not that the Iranians have said to the ships you can't cross. 344 00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:39.920 It's just that the insurers refused to allow 345 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.640 these ships to cross because it's too dangerous. 346 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.960 And Trump didn't, you think they'd consider this 347 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.600 before they started bombing Iran 348 00:18:46.600 --> 00:18:49.120 that Iran would have some leverage 349 00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:53.840 in shutting down such a critical piece of water 350 00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:57.440 for, you know, shipping fertilizer, energy, et cetera. 351 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.360 You think that they would have known this? 352 00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:01.840 Right. So that's a lot of people say 353 00:19:01.840 --> 00:19:06.000 that Trump's stupid, that Trump is hot-headed, 354 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.280 that he was misled by the Israelis. 355 00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:12.320 And there's good evidence to support this. 356 00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:14.320 But I wanna show you something, okay? 357 00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:19.320 It's called the National Defense Strategy, all right? 358 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.280 And so this is a document that was published 359 00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:28.280 by the Department of War and it explains 360 00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:33.280 what the American strategy to maintain global dominance is. 361 00:19:34.280 --> 00:19:38.480 And in the introduction, what it says is that 362 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:43.480 for too long America has been bullied by the world. 363 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:48.360 America is a nation that protects the world 364 00:19:48.360 --> 00:19:51.240 yet Europe is Asia, 365 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.760 takes advantage of American generosity. 366 00:19:54.760 --> 00:19:58.440 The Europeans don't pay for their defense 367 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.920 and so they put all this money into welfare, 368 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:02.640 into their pension system. 369 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.640 The Chinese have been giving America a bad trade deal, 370 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.920 the Chinese deal American technology 371 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.760 and then use it to make products 372 00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:15.800 that they sell back to the Americans. 373 00:20:15.800 --> 00:20:20.800 So the Americans have been getting a really bad deal 374 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.480 for decades. 375 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:24.080 And President Donald Trump, 376 00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:28.760 he's gonna change that by doing four things, all right? 377 00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:33.120 The National Defense Strategy calls for a four point program 378 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.400 to put America first. 379 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:41.080 The first thing that America is gonna do 380 00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:44.360 is gonna secure the Western hemisphere. 381 00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:46.760 Why, what's the hemisphere 382 00:20:46.760 --> 00:20:49.720 belongs to the United States? 383 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:51.240 When you say the Western hemisphere, 384 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.920 what do you mean, what region is that? 385 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.320 Is that a computer as well? 386 00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:56.520 So if you look at the map, we can divide, 387 00:20:56.520 --> 00:21:00.600 we can divide the map into the Eastern hemisphere 388 00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:01.800 and the Western hemisphere. 389 00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:03.240 Okay, so everything over here. 390 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.800 Everything, including Greenland, 391 00:21:05.800 --> 00:21:07.160 including Canada, 392 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.240 including Mexico, 393 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:13.040 every part of this area belongs to the United States. 394 00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:17.880 Therefore, you cannot trade with any of these countries 395 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.600 without American permission 396 00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:24.200 about paying a tribute to the Americans. 397 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:27.680 And this is why that the Americans 398 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.680 have parked one-third of the naval assets in the Caribbean today. 399 00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:38.880 If you tell the Chinese in the Russians, back off. 400 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.840 You're gonna come here, you either pay a tribute 401 00:21:42.840 --> 00:21:43.960 or you'll be attacked. 402 00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:49.320 Okay, that's the first point of this strategy. 403 00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:52.000 The Western hemisphere belongs to America, 404 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.080 something that they call the Don Roll Doctrine. 405 00:21:55.080 --> 00:21:58.760 Okay, which is Trump's corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. 406 00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:00.360 And so that's point one. 407 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:06.560 Point two is that America wants to reimagine 408 00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:09.320 its relationship with its allies. 409 00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:14.320 Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own defense. 410 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:19.200 NATO needs to go fight Russia in Ukraine. 411 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.040 America will provide support, 412 00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:23.160 it'll provide weapons and financing, 413 00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:28.120 but NATO needs to do more work. 414 00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:31.240 And in these Asia, South Korea and Japan 415 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:36.240 need to do better job of keeping China in check. 416 00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:38.920 Okay, that's point two. 417 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.520 Point three is specific to China. 418 00:22:42.520 --> 00:22:44.560 And the idea is the United States 419 00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:47.320 does not want to destroy China. 420 00:22:47.320 --> 00:22:49.840 The United States does not want to humiliate China, 421 00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:53.560 but China needs to be put in its place. 422 00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:58.000 China needs to respect the power and the reach 423 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.640 of the United States. 424 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.080 And how the United States is gonna do this 425 00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:07.840 is by strangling China economically, right? 426 00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:11.280 So if you look at the map of China, 427 00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:14.120 most of its trade goes to something called 428 00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:15.880 the sort of Malacca. 429 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.240 And the sort of Malacca is the most important 430 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.720 maritime choke point in the world. 431 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.160 All America has to do is park 432 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.120 naval carriers inside the sort of Malacca 433 00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:30.800 and China will lose 90% of its energy exports. 434 00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:31.640 But if they palk, 435 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.000 then China would still go through, no? 436 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.760 No, because you have to go for the straight sort of Malacca. 437 00:23:36.760 --> 00:23:40.400 So America has to be called a first island chain, okay? 438 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.240 The first island chain prevents China 439 00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.120 from reaching the Pacific Ocean. 440 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.480 The first island chain includes South Korea, Japan, 441 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.120 Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. 442 00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:55.080 That blocks China from reaching out into Pacific. 443 00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:57.800 So in order for it to access trade, 444 00:23:57.800 --> 00:23:59.760 it has to go through the sort of Malacca. 445 00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:04.520 And through the sort of Malacca, it can access India, Africa, 446 00:24:04.520 --> 00:24:09.040 and the Middle East, right? 447 00:24:09.040 --> 00:24:13.320 And so by positioning naval carriers 448 00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:16.960 inside the sort of Malacca, it creates a blockade. 449 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.000 And China would have to pick a toll 450 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.480 in order to access the sort of Malacca. 451 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:24.400 And the fourth one? 452 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.240 And the fourth one is to 453 00:24:28.520 --> 00:24:32.720 rejuvenate, re-invigorate America's 454 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.120 defense manufacturing sector. 455 00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:36.680 So it's supercharged the US defense 456 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.760 and industrial base. 457 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:39.120 That's exactly correct, yes. 458 00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:39.800 All right? 459 00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:43.000 So what this means is that the Pentagon, 460 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.760 a few weeks ago, went to Detroit 461 00:24:45.760 --> 00:24:48.560 and talked to Ford and Jordan Motors and said, 462 00:24:48.560 --> 00:24:50.200 you know what, because of this one around, 463 00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.680 we might need you to stop making cars 464 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.120 and start making more munitions. 465 00:24:55.120 --> 00:24:57.600 How do you know they said that? 466 00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.440 It's... 467 00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:59.280 They published it. 468 00:24:59.280 --> 00:25:00.280 They published it, yes. 469 00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:01.120 Really? 470 00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:01.960 Yes. 471 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.960 So the United States went to Forbes and GM 472 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.800 and said, we might need you to start making weapons 473 00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:05.800 with your factories. 474 00:25:05.800 --> 00:25:06.880 Yes, and they're happy doing this 475 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.400 because the power margins are much greater for weapons 476 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:10.960 than for cars. 477 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.960 This is a Pentagon. 478 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.920 So you can charge them as much as you want 479 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.960 and they'll pay for it. 480 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.160 Whereas you make cars, it's for the consumer market 481 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.600 and they may not buy your cars, right? 482 00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:23.120 So you're like Ford or Jordan Motors, 483 00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:28.120 the best deal in the world is to go make weapons 484 00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:31.200 for the Pentagon to fight these wars in the US 485 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.720 that couldn't go on forever. 486 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.800 So we're in a situation where, okay, look, 487 00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:38.720 if you read the news, if you talk to a lot of people, 488 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.200 Trump's an idiot. 489 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.680 And this war in Iran makes no sense at all. 490 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.960 But then you can just read the National Defense Strategy 491 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.680 that is on the Department of War website 492 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.560 and we can go there and download it for free 493 00:25:52.560 --> 00:25:53.880 and read it themselves. 494 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:58.040 It's a very clear roadmap of what America needs to do 495 00:25:58.040 --> 00:26:01.440 in order to maintain imperial hegemony. 496 00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.880 And so let's summarize the major points. 497 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.200 The first major point is to maintain control 498 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.960 of the Western hemisphere and create a fortress America. 499 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.760 Which is why he invaded Venezuela 500 00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:16.040 and he says he's gonna invade Cuba. 501 00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:16.880 Exactly. 502 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:17.840 And also Greenland. 503 00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:21.440 Look at all the countries that he's named over the past year. 504 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:26.440 Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Columbia, 505 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:29.400 Nicaragua, Honduras. 506 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.600 It's all the Western hemisphere, right? 507 00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:35.000 And they're all together. 508 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.000 The second point is to create divided in war 509 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.200 or around the world. 510 00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:42.240 So imagine a situation where in Europe, 511 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.080 NATO fights Russia in Ukraine. 512 00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:50.800 In East Asia, China fights South Korea and Japan. 513 00:26:50.800 --> 00:26:55.800 In the Middle East, Iran fights the GCC aligned with Israel. 514 00:26:57.520 --> 00:26:58.440 What does America do? 515 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.600 America can now sell everyone weapons and resources 516 00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:04.280 and finance it. 517 00:27:04.280 --> 00:27:07.040 This would be back to World War II. 518 00:27:07.040 --> 00:27:09.240 But it makes them weaker as well, generally. 519 00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.160 That's a point. 520 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.240 Yeah, right? 521 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.280 And then what would happen is that $4,200, 522 00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:17.480 that America has in debt would disappear 523 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.640 because it would be absorbed by the world, right? 524 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:24.280 So you can say, look, Trump's an idiot, 525 00:27:24.280 --> 00:27:26.000 but if you actually look at a map 526 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.320 and how America wants this world map to play out, 527 00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:31.400 it makes perfect sense. 528 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.520 Hmm. 529 00:27:33.520 --> 00:27:37.360 So the war is going well for Trump. 530 00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:38.720 The war's going very well for Trump. 531 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.400 Really? 532 00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.640 Yes. 533 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.520 But you said in your prediction that he would lose the war. 534 00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:44.360 Right. 535 00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:45.960 What's your definition of lose the war? 536 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:50.720 Loose the war means that America would send ground troops, 537 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.560 Iran would survive this ground invasion. 538 00:27:54.560 --> 00:27:58.880 And this would be so politically damaging 539 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.920 that chaos brings out the United States. 540 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.120 And the US ground invasion is forced to retreat. 541 00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:10.800 And the United States is forced to retreat from the Middle East. 542 00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:11.960 And you still think that's going to happen? 543 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.960 I still think that's going to happen. 544 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.480 So you think the United States is going to put ground troops in, 545 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.720 Iran is going to resist, 546 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.880 and then chaos is going to break out in the United States. 547 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.360 Yes. 548 00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:23.360 So let me explain to you why ground troops has to be set. 549 00:28:23.360 --> 00:28:23.840 All right. 550 00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:25.160 OK. 551 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.160 So in phase one of this war, which starts February 28th, 552 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.360 which lasted for about six weeks, 553 00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:35.920 the intention was to decapitate the regime. 554 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.600 And you do that by starting to run. 555 00:28:38.600 --> 00:28:41.440 And you do that by striking the military bases 556 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.640 in installations throughout Iran. 557 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.120 It's what the Americans call sharp and all. 558 00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:52.000 And the point is to force their aims to call uncle. 559 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.120 But that's what happened to give up, basically. 560 00:28:55.280 --> 00:28:59.080 Because what the Iranians did was they responded 561 00:28:59.080 --> 00:29:04.400 by attacking US bases for out the GCC. 562 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:10.520 They close off a straight off for moves. 563 00:29:10.520 --> 00:29:14.000 And they rallied their people, OK? 564 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.160 So rather than surrender, the Iranians basically double down. 565 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.280 OK, that's phase two of the war. 566 00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:25.280 Now we've gone to phase three of the war, where Trump 567 00:29:25.280 --> 00:29:29.080 has basically decided that decapitation does not work. 568 00:29:29.080 --> 00:29:33.320 And so what Trump should do is he's going to impose 569 00:29:33.320 --> 00:29:40.160 a naval blockade on Iran's naval blockade, right? 570 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.000 And so the question then is, if Trump understands 571 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:48.120 that decapitation does not work, then using game theory, 572 00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:49.160 what's game theory? 573 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:54.920 Game theory is to believe that all of the world, 574 00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.560 it's governed by rules and incentives. 575 00:29:58.560 --> 00:30:01.040 And what you understand the rules and incentives, 576 00:30:01.040 --> 00:30:04.560 you can predict how people behave. 577 00:30:04.560 --> 00:30:07.640 These people will always behave according 578 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:09.880 to their best interests. 579 00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:15.800 So in geopolitics, the nation states are individual players. 580 00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:21.120 And each nation state is trying to use its resources 581 00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:26.880 and its advantages in order to pressure other nation states 582 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.320 to obey it, OK? 583 00:30:29.320 --> 00:30:33.360 So Trump recognizes that the Iranians have 584 00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:36.200 closed off the circle of moves, but not only that, 585 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.280 but the Iranians will also use the circle of moves 586 00:30:38.280 --> 00:30:42.920 to finance the war, meaning that now they're forcing ships 587 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.840 to pay a toll about $2 million in order to cross it. 588 00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:50.520 And so this is a huge advantage for Iranians. 589 00:30:50.520 --> 00:30:55.000 And so Trump has said, no, I'm going to block your blockade 590 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.000 negating Iran's advantage of the circle moves. 591 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.440 So we think about it, again, using game theory, 592 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.440 I want to discuss what the Americans will do 593 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:09.720 in order to force the Iranians to capitulate, OK? 594 00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.600 So I would say there's a three point strategy. 595 00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:18.160 The first strategy is economic triangulation. 596 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.080 You basically destroy the state's capacity 597 00:31:21.080 --> 00:31:22.680 to finance the war. 598 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.200 And there are two ways that Iran is financing the war so far. 599 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.720 The first is using board exports, right? 600 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:35.320 9% of Iran's oil goes to China. 601 00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:38.320 And this is Carg Island. 602 00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:39.520 This is this little spot here. 603 00:31:39.520 --> 00:31:40.440 It's Carg Island. 604 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:45.680 And this is where Iran will export 90% of its oil overseas. 605 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:47.920 That's the first mechanism. 606 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.640 Second mechanism mechanism is the circle moves, 607 00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:54.520 where the Iranians now can collect tolls, right? 608 00:31:54.520 --> 00:31:58.920 So what you have to do is you have to eliminate both 609 00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:01.080 of these finance mechanisms. 610 00:32:01.080 --> 00:32:04.560 You can close off both when they're blocking, OK? 611 00:32:04.560 --> 00:32:06.800 So that's strategy one. 612 00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:16.560 Strategy two is you need to create as much chaos within Iran 613 00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:18.160 as possible. 614 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.760 You want to turn this fortress into a prison. 615 00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:24.000 Now, the way you do that is by storing 616 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.520 up ethnic tensions in the country. 617 00:32:27.520 --> 00:32:32.200 So if you look at a map, an ethnic map of Iran, 618 00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:36.800 what you'll discover is that the Persian people 619 00:32:36.800 --> 00:32:40.240 are primarily in this area, in the middle of the country. 620 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.040 But you go to the borderlands, OK? 621 00:32:44.040 --> 00:32:47.600 The border areas is primarily ethnic minorities. 622 00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:51.400 And there are two ethnic minorities in the country 623 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.760 that have always been problematic for the government. 624 00:32:54.760 --> 00:32:57.720 The first problematic people are called 625 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:08.320 bullocks here in South East Iran by the Pakistani border. 626 00:33:08.320 --> 00:33:10.840 They have a history of a student seat 627 00:33:10.840 --> 00:33:12.960 against the government, OK? 628 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.920 Second people that have been problematic are the Kurds, 629 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:24.280 who are primarily in the northwest of the country. 630 00:33:24.280 --> 00:33:28.760 So if you are the US government, if you are the military, 631 00:33:28.760 --> 00:33:34.160 your strategy is to establish forward operating bases 632 00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.400 in these areas. 633 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:41.920 A forward operating base is a spearhead of the military 634 00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:46.040 where you insert ground troops to hold in the area 635 00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:51.200 in order to resupply in order to push further into the territory. 636 00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:51.520 OK. 637 00:33:51.520 --> 00:33:55.680 So a forward operating base would be the US putting troops 638 00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.360 into the northwest in the southeast. 639 00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:03.960 And then using that as a way to move forward into Iran. 640 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.440 No, you don't want to move forward into Iran 641 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:08.440 because it's too large. 642 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:11.920 You don't have enough forces to move into Iran. 643 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.240 What you want to do is this. 644 00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:16.320 You want to establish forward operating bases in these areas 645 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:22.720 in order to arm and trade ethnic insurgents, 646 00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:26.240 that you can also finance as well. 647 00:34:26.240 --> 00:34:30.400 And you do this because you want to turn them into cannon fodder. 648 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.000 You have the force or response in the remaining military. 649 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.640 So if they come in with the army in order 650 00:34:37.640 --> 00:34:42.080 to quell these rebellions, that's great. 651 00:34:42.080 --> 00:34:44.120 Because now you can use your air power 652 00:34:44.160 --> 00:34:46.600 to decimate the Iranian military. 653 00:34:46.600 --> 00:34:49.200 Your problem right now is the Iranian military 654 00:34:49.200 --> 00:34:52.280 is hiding inside mountains. 655 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.320 And so you want to force them out in the open. 656 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.480 And so you want to create as many points of tension 657 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:00.320 in the country as possible to force the Iranian military 658 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.240 to respawn, right? 659 00:35:03.240 --> 00:35:04.240 Does that make sense, man? 660 00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:05.640 OK. 661 00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:11.360 And now your third strategy is to strangle the capital, 662 00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:12.440 Iran. 663 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.880 And that's where the political elite are. 664 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.040 So let's sit down on people. 665 00:35:18.040 --> 00:35:22.480 And the way you strangle Iran is you deny them three things. 666 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:29.200 You deny them water, electricity, and food. 667 00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:31.360 So you attack power plants. 668 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:33.400 You attack reservoirs. 669 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:40.080 You attack railways that bring food into the capital. 670 00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:44.880 And when you do that, these 10 million people in Iran 671 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.840 will now oppose the government and demand a political settlement 672 00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:54.240 because they need food, water, electricity to survive. 673 00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:56.320 Is there a government? 674 00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:00.000 Right now, there's an obeyed as to the two 675 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:03.600 extent of leadership in Iran. 676 00:36:03.600 --> 00:36:06.480 Because Trump's recent interviews he's saying he's 677 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.480 claiming that the leadership in Iran are fighting themselves. 678 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:11.520 But then he's also saying in other interviews 679 00:36:11.520 --> 00:36:14.400 that there's they don't even know who they're dealing with. 680 00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:15.200 Exactly. 681 00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:19.040 Iran has a very unusual political system 682 00:36:19.040 --> 00:36:21.800 in that it's of theocracy. 683 00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:22.560 It's a religious government. 684 00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:26.360 It's run by clerics called a mullahs in theory. 685 00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.680 And then there's a parallel system, a state apparatus, 686 00:36:29.680 --> 00:36:33.480 that actually takes care of day-to-day bureaucracy. 687 00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:35.400 And that's secular. 688 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.160 The mullahs control the morality of the country. 689 00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:40.280 They also control foreign affairs. 690 00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.840 So basically, this is important because Iran 691 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.440 has two parallel military structures. 692 00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:53.920 You have the military, but you also have the IRGC. 693 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.520 The IRGC are only loyal to the mullahs. 694 00:36:57.520 --> 00:36:58.720 Which is the religious part? 695 00:36:58.720 --> 00:37:00.080 Exactly. 696 00:37:00.080 --> 00:37:03.520 So you have this divide in the country 697 00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:07.440 where the IRGC see this as a religious war, 698 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.800 as a crusade, to kill the great Satan. 699 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:11.240 And they want to fight to the death. 700 00:37:11.240 --> 00:37:12.600 And the great Satan is? 701 00:37:12.600 --> 00:37:15.280 The great Satan is the American Empire, 702 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.840 which is the source of the misery that Iran has been 703 00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.000 suffering for the past few decades. 704 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:26.640 And the IRGC not only do they see America as a great Satan, 705 00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:29.280 but they also see this as a global conflict 706 00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.520 because they have proxies that support their beliefs, 707 00:37:32.600 --> 00:37:34.840 including here in Lebanon, 708 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:39.440 Hesbela, including here in Yemen, the Puthis, 709 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.160 and of course in Palestine, Hamas. 710 00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:47.160 And before Syria was also part of their access of resistance, 711 00:37:47.160 --> 00:37:51.720 but Syria has been pluckled by the Americans and Israelis. 712 00:37:51.720 --> 00:37:54.960 So the IRGC see this as a religious crusade 713 00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:56.960 that is global in nature. 714 00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:00.360 The political leadership in Iran sees it completely different. 715 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.360 They see this as a conflict permeated between America 716 00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.920 and Iran, and they want to reach a political settlement 717 00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:08.880 as soon as possible. 718 00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:13.880 And so in other words, these ceasefire negotiations, 719 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.040 it's really all for sure, 720 00:38:16.040 --> 00:38:19.480 because I think in a day, even if the Americans 721 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.040 gave the Iranians everything they wanted, 722 00:38:22.040 --> 00:38:27.040 the IRGC still controls the battlefield 723 00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:33.200 and they would not surrender or seek peace terms lightly. 724 00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:35.920 Another problem in this situation is 725 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:39.600 the IRGC practice is called the Mosyak strategy, Mosyak. 726 00:38:41.680 --> 00:38:43.720 The end of the Mosyak strategy is, 727 00:38:43.720 --> 00:38:46.320 okay, you know the Americans, 728 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.960 the most effective military ever in human history. 729 00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.240 You know that they practice shock and awe, the competition. 730 00:38:52.240 --> 00:38:53.840 So how do we spawn to that? 731 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.280 You respond to that using decentralization. 732 00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.160 31 provinces in the country 733 00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:03.440 where all common control that is localized. 734 00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.720 So basically they have 31 different armies 735 00:39:05.720 --> 00:39:07.160 that have their own leadership. 736 00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:08.440 That's correct, okay? 737 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.560 And when you do this, it's a fight to the finish. 738 00:39:10.560 --> 00:39:11.840 Why did they do that? 739 00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.720 They did it because the Americans possess 740 00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:18.960 the most sophisticated surveillance technology in the world, 741 00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:23.720 meaning they can easily identify the leadership 742 00:39:23.720 --> 00:39:26.920 and they can easily track you down and kill you. 743 00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:30.400 So the only way around that is to decentralize the leadership 744 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.720 and spread around the country 745 00:39:32.720 --> 00:39:35.360 so that the Americans can kill everyone. 746 00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.760 How does the central government orchestrate 747 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.640 31 different armies in Iran? 748 00:39:39.640 --> 00:39:41.360 How does it get a message out to them? 749 00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.920 I had Peter Heggseth make a comment 750 00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:45.600 in one of the interviews saying that 751 00:39:45.600 --> 00:39:50.200 it takes some time for the pigeons to get out to the armies. 752 00:39:50.200 --> 00:39:52.400 And what he was saying basically is that 753 00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:53.760 when the ceasefire was called 754 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.040 and there was still some missiles flying, 755 00:39:56.040 --> 00:39:57.280 he was basically saying that's just because 756 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.320 it takes a long time to tell the 31 different armies to stop. 757 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.880 The reality is that given the most extraigy, 758 00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.480 there's actually no way to coordinate 759 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.880 these 31 different military operations. 760 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.920 Because then most extraigy was meant to fight to the end. 761 00:40:17.120 --> 00:40:21.440 You're not stop until you completely control the Middle East 762 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.920 and the Americans have been forced out of the Middle East 763 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.960 and Israel has been humbled. 764 00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:28.800 Okay. 765 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:32.600 So let's go into the specifics of what the most extraigy is. 766 00:40:32.600 --> 00:40:36.000 The idea is that they have an eschatology. 767 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.480 So eschatology is an understanding of how the world should be 768 00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:47.320 and how we move towards this world. 769 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:49.960 And for the Iranians, 770 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:54.960 the eschatology is that Iran in order to reach its true potential 771 00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:59.560 needs to be master of the Muslim world. 772 00:40:59.560 --> 00:41:02.320 It needs to displace Saudi Arabia. 773 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:05.560 Because Saudi Arabia is to align with the United States, 774 00:41:05.560 --> 00:41:07.000 which is a great Satan. 775 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:11.000 Mecca and Medina are under the influence of the great Satan 776 00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:16.960 because why are their US military bases in Saudi Arabia? 777 00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:21.160 So this war from their perspective, 778 00:41:21.160 --> 00:41:25.000 it's a great opportunity to overthrow the crop leadership 779 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.000 of Saudi Arabia. 780 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.560 But not only Saudi Arabia, the entire GCC, 781 00:41:28.560 --> 00:41:31.560 overthrow the crop governments of the entire Muslim world 782 00:41:32.560 --> 00:41:37.560 and install governments that put God alone first. 783 00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:43.320 So they're not going to quit around. 784 00:41:43.520 --> 00:41:48.520 This war, once it starts, can only lead to a war three. 785 00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:51.400 That's a strong statement to make. 786 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:55.400 As a probability, what probability would you assign to that claim? 787 00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:57.560 I would put it pretty high, 788 00:41:57.560 --> 00:42:00.040 anywhere between 80 to 90% of the ability. 789 00:42:00.040 --> 00:42:01.920 So that's certainty. 790 00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:03.560 Basically, certainly, yes. 791 00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:05.040 Explain to me how that happens. 792 00:42:05.040 --> 00:42:05.800 Okay. 793 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.480 So we need to step back and appreciate 794 00:42:09.040 --> 00:42:13.040 that there's a global dynamic going on. 795 00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:17.760 And we need to appreciate the grand strategy 796 00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:19.360 of the different players involved. 797 00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:21.760 So what I'm going to do is this, 798 00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:29.120 I'm going to explain to you how each nation 799 00:42:30.240 --> 00:42:31.760 sees itself in the world. 800 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:35.920 And to do that, I'm going to use a chess set. 801 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:36.560 Okay. 802 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:38.640 This is the king. 803 00:42:39.600 --> 00:42:42.760 This is the political system of the United States, 804 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:44.600 which is democracy. 805 00:42:44.600 --> 00:42:47.920 And there are certain strengths and weaknesses to a democracy. 806 00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.880 Democracy is vibrant. 807 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:51.000 It's creative. 808 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:52.400 It's flexible. 809 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:56.120 But its ultimate weakness is polarization. 810 00:42:56.120 --> 00:42:57.560 Where today, 811 00:42:59.120 --> 00:43:01.480 the different political factions refuse to go along 812 00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:03.480 and this may be forgotten to civil war, okay? 813 00:43:03.520 --> 00:43:05.240 So the way you defeat the United States 814 00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:08.080 is not to conquer it. 815 00:43:08.080 --> 00:43:09.640 You can never conquer the United States. 816 00:43:09.640 --> 00:43:11.240 The way this defeat the United States 817 00:43:11.240 --> 00:43:14.480 is to force it into a civil war, 818 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.080 which then kills the king. 819 00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:18.680 To get its people to rise up against the leadership. 820 00:43:18.680 --> 00:43:21.920 No, you want the Democrats, no Republicans, 821 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.800 to form different factions and fight a civil war. 822 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:25.640 Okay. 823 00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:27.400 You want to create so much political polarization 824 00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.080 with different elite factions 825 00:43:29.080 --> 00:43:30.880 and take up arms against each other, okay? 826 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:32.800 So this is the political system, okay? 827 00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:35.080 But democracy. 828 00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:36.240 Now, let's look at the queen. 829 00:43:36.240 --> 00:43:37.560 What's the queen? 830 00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:41.400 The queen is what I refer to as the grand strategy 831 00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:43.320 of the United States. 832 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.080 How the United States can maintain its control 833 00:43:46.080 --> 00:43:47.320 over the entire world. 834 00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.160 And the grand strategy, 835 00:43:48.160 --> 00:43:51.800 it's already outlined in a national defense strategy, right? 836 00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:53.240 Let's create fortress of America 837 00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:58.240 and then create chaos throughout the entire world 838 00:43:58.240 --> 00:44:02.000 so that we can sell everyone weapons and resources, okay? 839 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:03.960 That's the grand strategy, right? 840 00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:04.800 All right. 841 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.280 Now, once you've a grand strategy, 842 00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.280 you need to implement this grand strategy 843 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.440 so you need attack vectors, all right? 844 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:14.880 The attack vectors are the work, 845 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:16.640 the bishop and the knight, all right? 846 00:44:16.640 --> 00:44:19.560 So let's go over the three major attack vectors 847 00:44:19.560 --> 00:44:20.600 of the United States. 848 00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:22.960 They are, first of all, 849 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:24.920 America's technological supremacy. 850 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:26.360 So these are basically the tools 851 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:27.760 that they use to attack of this. 852 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:28.600 Exactly. 853 00:44:28.600 --> 00:44:30.680 In order to achieve their grand strategy, all right? 854 00:44:30.680 --> 00:44:32.760 So aerospace supremacy, right? 855 00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:34.800 Which is the planes and stuff like that. 856 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:40.040 Then you have the US dollar, right? 857 00:44:40.040 --> 00:44:44.720 Because the US dollar allows you to finance everything 858 00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:48.760 and everyone wants the US dollar, okay? 859 00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:52.000 So that is the second attack vector. 860 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.880 And the third attack vector is propaganda. 861 00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:58.760 The United States controls the world's most powerful media, 862 00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.800 including the US Times, CNN. 863 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:02.560 And that's such that you can control the narrative 864 00:45:02.560 --> 00:45:04.200 of the world, okay? 865 00:45:04.200 --> 00:45:06.600 So these are the three major attack vectors. 866 00:45:06.600 --> 00:45:09.040 Now they use the pawns. 867 00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:13.040 The pawns are weapons that they can sacrifice 868 00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:15.800 in order to achieve the grand strategy. 869 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:17.880 And in the case of the United States, 870 00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:23.840 the pawn are the allies, meaning, I'd say this, 871 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:28.440 but the UK, Europe, 872 00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:35.600 South Korea, and Japan, okay? 873 00:45:35.600 --> 00:45:40.200 And also the entire Western hemisphere. 874 00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:43.520 This is the Americans, okay? 875 00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:46.720 The people who are most opposed 876 00:45:46.720 --> 00:45:49.440 to this grand strategy of Americans, other Russians. 877 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:51.560 So let's go over the Russian system. 878 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:56.640 In the Russian system, the king, the political system, 879 00:45:56.640 --> 00:45:58.440 it's an autocracy. 880 00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:02.080 And an autocracy, it's good because it allows for coronation. 881 00:46:02.080 --> 00:46:04.800 It allows for decisiveness. 882 00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.920 It allows for resolve. 883 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:09.160 Long time thinking. 884 00:46:09.160 --> 00:46:10.840 Exactly, right? That's Putin. 885 00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:16.800 What's bad is if this guy dies, there's a session crisis, right? 886 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:23.960 So basically once you topple the autocrat 887 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:26.800 and the system itself breaks down, okay? 888 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:30.000 So that's the Russian system, all right? 889 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.840 For the Russians, the grand strategy is 890 00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.120 someone called the third-rome strategy. 891 00:46:34.120 --> 00:46:36.320 The third-rome strategy? Yes, okay? 892 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.400 So the people in Russia believe 893 00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:42.240 that they are the true successors to the Roman Empire. 894 00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:44.440 And previously, there are two rooms. 895 00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:48.120 It was the first room, and then moved to Kaisenapol, 896 00:46:49.040 --> 00:46:53.040 and Moscow is destined to be the third-rome. 897 00:46:53.040 --> 00:46:57.040 And what makes Moscow interesting 898 00:46:57.040 --> 00:47:02.040 is that it wants to unite the entire Christian world 899 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:04.400 under its leadership. 900 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:06.640 The main philosopher for the third-rome strategy 901 00:47:06.640 --> 00:47:09.240 is Alexander Dugin, 1997, 902 00:47:09.240 --> 00:47:12.000 what a book called Foundation of Geopolitics. 903 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:12.960 And what he said was this. 904 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.240 What he said that, if Russia is to defeat the Americans, 905 00:47:16.240 --> 00:47:19.320 it needs to build alliances throughout Eurasia, 906 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:22.200 in order to negate American sea power 907 00:47:22.200 --> 00:47:24.800 and air supremacy, all right? 908 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:29.800 So what are the attack vectors for Russia, okay? 909 00:47:30.680 --> 00:47:33.400 The first attack vector, the size of the country 910 00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.240 makes it almost invincible. 911 00:47:35.240 --> 00:47:36.640 So think about toward two, 912 00:47:36.640 --> 00:47:40.080 Operation Barbarossa, the Germans went into Russia 913 00:47:40.080 --> 00:47:43.720 with six, seven million men, and it didn't get very far, okay? 914 00:47:43.720 --> 00:47:46.160 So the terrain is very important. 915 00:47:46.160 --> 00:47:48.280 The geography is very important. 916 00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:50.120 Then you have the Orthodox religion, 917 00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:55.320 which is meant to galvanize believers 918 00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:58.000 into supporting Russia. 919 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.280 The third attack vector is artillery. 920 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.560 So Russia has the best land arm in the world. 921 00:48:05.560 --> 00:48:07.680 And we're seeing that play out in Ukraine 922 00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:12.120 where a combination of Russia artillery and drones, 923 00:48:12.120 --> 00:48:14.880 it's devastating in Ukrainian military in Ukraine. 924 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:18.920 The pause for Russia are its soldiers. 925 00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:23.920 So Russia is able to sustain many, many casualties 926 00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:27.320 in its military. 927 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:31.400 If you actually go and interview Russian soldiers, 928 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:33.880 they are probably the perfect soldiers in the world. 929 00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:37.840 They are literally not afraid to die for what they believe in, okay? 930 00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:41.480 So this is the Russian third-room strategy. 931 00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:46.720 You can see how it conflicts with Americans, okay? 932 00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:50.920 Now we go to this release, Jerusalem, the capital. 933 00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:53.680 It's a mixed system, meaning it's both democracy 934 00:48:53.680 --> 00:48:56.000 as well as a theocracy. 935 00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:01.000 And it's good in that these release are very creative. 936 00:49:01.720 --> 00:49:05.240 But the fundamental weakness is the division of the society 937 00:49:05.240 --> 00:49:09.120 where Tel Aviv and Jerusalem don't get along, okay? 938 00:49:09.120 --> 00:49:12.840 So that is the blood system of Israel. 939 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:18.720 The grand strategy of Israel is called the Greater Israel Project. 940 00:49:18.720 --> 00:49:21.360 So they really believe that the environmental ease 941 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:25.400 belongs to them from the Nile to Euphrates. 942 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:27.200 Because that's what it says in the Bible. 943 00:49:27.200 --> 00:49:31.280 This is what God Yahweh promised Abraham. 944 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:36.280 So their intention is to conquer the entire Middle East, 945 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:42.200 including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, even parts of Turkey, okay? 946 00:49:43.720 --> 00:49:49.960 Now let's look at the attack vectors for the Israelis. 947 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:55.600 The first attack vector is Mosad. 948 00:49:55.600 --> 00:50:00.960 Mosad is the most powerful intelligence agency in the world 949 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.040 in that it is able to infiltrate 950 00:50:04.200 --> 00:50:07.600 and undermine given political systems. 951 00:50:07.600 --> 00:50:10.480 And the sword frame that doesn't know is the secret service. 952 00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:12.400 Basically, yes, the spy system. 953 00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:17.400 Second attack vector for this release is the Jewish diaspora. 954 00:50:19.240 --> 00:50:23.240 Because Jews do business everywhere around the world. 955 00:50:23.240 --> 00:50:27.880 And Jewish fishermen work very closely with Mosad. 956 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.800 And as such, they have influence in a lot of places 957 00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:33.240 that they shouldn't have. 958 00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:38.240 And the third attack vector is the Bible. 959 00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:40.360 Why? 960 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:42.040 These are your Christians. 961 00:50:42.040 --> 00:50:43.520 And there are many Christians who believe this. 962 00:50:43.520 --> 00:50:47.880 You believe that the Jews are God's chosen people. 963 00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:51.800 So if you look at what's happening in the Middle East, 964 00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.400 all this conflict between Israel and Palestine, 965 00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:58.440 a lot of this conflict is being supported politically 966 00:50:58.560 --> 00:51:02.320 by a group of people called Christian Zionists. 967 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:03.160 And these are Christians. 968 00:51:03.160 --> 00:51:04.720 They're not Jews, they're Christians 969 00:51:04.720 --> 00:51:08.720 who believe that Israel should achieve a great 970 00:51:08.720 --> 00:51:12.120 racial project because this is part of God's plan. 971 00:51:12.120 --> 00:51:17.120 And the pawns for this release are basically everyone else, 972 00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:19.880 okay? 973 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:26.000 So a lot of the hardware underpinning the global IT infrastructure, 974 00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:29.480 it's being controlled by these release. 975 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.200 So now we go to the fourth player in this great game, 976 00:51:34.200 --> 00:51:35.200 that's Iran. 977 00:51:35.200 --> 00:51:38.760 So Iran, it is a bureaucracy. 978 00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:42.160 People are not afraid to die for what they believe in Iran. 979 00:51:42.160 --> 00:51:44.640 But the weakness is that it can alienate 980 00:51:44.640 --> 00:51:46.320 the majority of the population 981 00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:49.720 because only a minority are religious zealots in Iran. 982 00:51:50.600 --> 00:51:54.640 Most people just want to live to live a decent life. 983 00:51:54.640 --> 00:51:57.760 So they feel that these mollas, 984 00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:02.200 the IRGC are threat to their peace and prosperity, 985 00:52:02.200 --> 00:52:04.240 then they might rise up against the mollas. 986 00:52:04.240 --> 00:52:05.880 Which is what we've seen over the years, right? 987 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:06.720 Exactly. 988 00:52:06.720 --> 00:52:10.600 So this is a political system of the Iranians. 989 00:52:10.600 --> 00:52:14.360 Their grand strategy is to unite the Muslim world 990 00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:15.520 under leadership. 991 00:52:15.520 --> 00:52:18.680 They have three attack vectors, okay? 992 00:52:18.680 --> 00:52:21.560 The first attack vector are their proxies. 993 00:52:22.560 --> 00:52:26.200 Crespolla, Hamas, and Houthis. 994 00:52:26.200 --> 00:52:30.520 Another attack vector is their asymmetrical warfare, 995 00:52:30.520 --> 00:52:32.840 meaning using drones and missiles 996 00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:35.920 to create as much economic damage as possible. 997 00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:40.440 And the third attack vector is their geography, 998 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:42.000 or their topography. 999 00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:42.920 They are fortress. 1000 00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:47.680 So it's almost impossible to invade them, right? 1001 00:52:47.680 --> 00:52:49.960 So that's their sheer militiamen, 1002 00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:52.760 these religious zealots who are not afraid to die. 1003 00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:57.360 Essentially, many of them could be suicide bombers, okay? 1004 00:52:57.360 --> 00:53:01.360 And so for them, this is a religious war, okay? 1005 00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:06.360 So now we're seeing how this entire battlefield unfolds 1006 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:08.760 across the world, all right? 1007 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:11.200 So I've mapped out the grand strategy 1008 00:53:11.200 --> 00:53:13.280 of these different nation states 1009 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.800 who will be involved in World War III. 1010 00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:18.040 Let's look at our present situation, okay? 1011 00:53:18.040 --> 00:53:21.880 So what we have so far is that the Russians 1012 00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:26.560 occupied with their army in Ukraine, okay? 1013 00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:30.320 This is where their infantry, their artillery is based. 1014 00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:34.480 At the same time, Russia has something called the shuttle fleet 1015 00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.840 and these are about a thousand tankers 1016 00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:41.000 that evade sanctions around the world, okay? 1017 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.400 And this is essentially their navy. 1018 00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:48.440 America is the most powerful military in the world. 1019 00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:51.760 They have the most sophisticated aerosupermacy 1020 00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:54.560 as well as the control over the sea lanes. 1021 00:53:54.560 --> 00:53:57.320 And then try not to use infantry 1022 00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:58.880 because that creates surveillance casualties 1023 00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:01.680 and that pisses everyone off in America, okay? 1024 00:54:01.680 --> 00:54:06.680 These realies are essentially a mercenary army 1025 00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:09.520 aligned with the American Empire, 1026 00:54:09.520 --> 00:54:11.040 doing a bidding of the American Empire. 1027 00:54:11.040 --> 00:54:16.040 It's fighting in against Lebanon as well as Iran. 1028 00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:20.840 Iranians, they don't have much of an air force 1029 00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:24.640 but they use a lot of drones to threaten. 1030 00:54:24.640 --> 00:54:27.200 So this is where we are so far. 1031 00:54:27.200 --> 00:54:29.000 According to the grand strategy, 1032 00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:32.720 we can predict how they will make their moves 1033 00:54:32.720 --> 00:54:35.080 over the next few months or next few years. 1034 00:54:35.080 --> 00:54:40.440 America doesn't really care about this war in Iran 1035 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.840 because what America wants to do is force an entire world 1036 00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:49.840 to become dependent on American weapons and resources. 1037 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.560 And you do that in two ways. 1038 00:54:51.560 --> 00:54:56.560 The first is you control the strategic choke points 1039 00:54:57.200 --> 00:55:00.840 of the world and they include the shuttle commos. 1040 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:02.920 But you also want to control the shuttle Malacca 1041 00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:06.920 right over here, these are blocks off East Asia. 1042 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:09.280 You also want to control the Panama Canal. 1043 00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:10.800 You also want to control Greenland. 1044 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:13.360 You also want to control the Strait of Gibraltar. 1045 00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:16.480 You can see the American Navy expanding outwards 1046 00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:19.120 and occupying all these maritime choke points. 1047 00:55:19.120 --> 00:55:23.160 At the same time, you want to use your technological supremacy, 1048 00:55:23.160 --> 00:55:25.120 the aerial supremacy of your drones 1049 00:55:25.120 --> 00:55:30.120 to destroy the world's critical energy infrastructure. 1050 00:55:30.120 --> 00:55:32.440 Already we're seeing or if our needs 1051 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:34.440 being destroyed throughout the world. 1052 00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:36.640 In refineries or refineries, yes. 1053 00:55:36.640 --> 00:55:41.640 Or you, as America, you're trying to defeat the world 1054 00:55:41.640 --> 00:55:42.880 energy inventory. 1055 00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:47.880 So they're forced to beg you for display energy, right? 1056 00:55:48.600 --> 00:55:50.720 And once this market is created, 1057 00:55:50.720 --> 00:55:54.160 then you can build infrastructure for Venezuela. 1058 00:55:54.160 --> 00:55:56.360 You can take over Canada, you can control Mexico, 1059 00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:58.000 you can take over Greenland, okay? 1060 00:55:59.160 --> 00:56:02.840 The Russians have no choice but to respond 1061 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:07.880 because if the Americans are controlling the strategic choke points, 1062 00:56:08.600 --> 00:56:13.600 your shadow fleet is rendered redundant, useless. 1063 00:56:15.120 --> 00:56:20.120 So how do you ship your oil around the world? 1064 00:56:20.720 --> 00:56:22.080 We have two options. 1065 00:56:22.080 --> 00:56:26.320 I'm just going to build railways to unite the Eurasian climate, okay? 1066 00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:30.200 And I'll transport my oil using pipelines and railways. 1067 00:56:30.200 --> 00:56:32.680 The problem with that is not that you're vulnerable 1068 00:56:32.680 --> 00:56:37.680 to American aerial supremacy, drone attacks. 1069 00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:41.720 So you have no choice but to arm your shadow fleet. 1070 00:56:41.720 --> 00:56:46.560 And now what's going to happen is this clonting the oceans 1071 00:56:46.560 --> 00:56:50.920 between Russian shadow fleet tankers 1072 00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:53.600 that are trying to transport oil around the world 1073 00:56:53.600 --> 00:56:58.000 and these American destroyers who are trying to capture 1074 00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:00.760 or destroy these shadow tankers. 1075 00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:04.960 Now the advantage that Russia has is that America 1076 00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:08.240 doesn't have that much naval assets anymore. 1077 00:57:08.240 --> 00:57:10.040 It used to but not anymore. 1078 00:57:10.040 --> 00:57:13.720 The other thing is that the world really needs energy. 1079 00:57:13.720 --> 00:57:18.640 So you can imagine China financing the militarization 1080 00:57:18.640 --> 00:57:19.840 of the Russian shadow fleet. 1081 00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:25.280 Why would the US try and stop Russian boats? 1082 00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:29.440 Because in this global outlook, 1083 00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:34.280 there are two nations that could provide weapons 1084 00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:36.120 and resources to the rest of the world. 1085 00:57:36.120 --> 00:57:38.800 There are Russia and they are America. 1086 00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:40.120 So America has become dominant. 1087 00:57:40.120 --> 00:57:41.880 It needs to blockade Russia. 1088 00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:45.920 And what you do that is by seizing their shadow fleet. 1089 00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:48.600 But if it's not happening, that would be an act of war. 1090 00:57:48.600 --> 00:57:49.760 But it's already happening. 1091 00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:50.600 What, really? 1092 00:57:50.600 --> 00:57:51.640 Yes, it's already happening. 1093 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:56.120 Iranian tankers have been seized by the Americans 1094 00:57:56.120 --> 00:58:00.760 and tankers are being seized in the Caribbean as well 1095 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:02.040 by the American Navy. 1096 00:58:02.040 --> 00:58:03.080 Who's tankers? 1097 00:58:04.080 --> 00:58:06.800 I believe they are Russian tankers. 1098 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.400 Yes, the United States has indeed been seized 1099 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:11.000 in tankers linked to Russia. 1100 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:12.920 A major escalation occurred earlier this year 1101 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.360 on January the 7th, 2026 when the US military 1102 00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:17.720 and Coast Guard intercepted two sanctioned 1103 00:58:17.720 --> 00:58:20.080 shadow fleet oil tankers. 1104 00:58:20.080 --> 00:58:22.240 While one was seized directly in the Caribbean, 1105 00:58:22.240 --> 00:58:24.360 the other involved a dramatic chase 1106 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:25.520 that started in the Caribbean 1107 00:58:25.520 --> 00:58:27.560 and ended in the North Atlantic. 1108 00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.400 US forces captured a sanction tanker 1109 00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:34.240 during a pre-dorn raid directly in the Caribbean sea. 1110 00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:36.040 The US military described it as 1111 00:58:36.040 --> 00:58:39.720 stateless sanctioned dark fleet vessel 1112 00:58:39.720 --> 00:58:42.880 which was engaged in illicit activities. 1113 00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:45.160 These seizures are part of operation, 1114 00:58:45.160 --> 00:58:49.320 southern spear, a strict enforcement of the US embargo 1115 00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:50.920 on Venezuelan oil exports. 1116 00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:53.120 Both vessels were targeted for violating 1117 00:58:53.120 --> 00:58:55.600 US sanctions by transporting illicit crude oil 1118 00:58:55.600 --> 00:59:00.320 linked to Venezuela as well as Iran and his below. 1119 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.040 And as you point out, this is an act of war. 1120 00:59:02.040 --> 00:59:04.480 So those were ships that didn't have 1121 00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:07.080 a country linked them directly? 1122 00:59:07.080 --> 00:59:08.720 That's why they caused shadow fleet tankers. 1123 00:59:08.720 --> 00:59:09.800 Okay, yes. 1124 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:11.200 But they were essentially Russian. 1125 00:59:11.200 --> 00:59:13.360 But they were essentially shipping oil 1126 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:15.960 outside of the United States that the United States 1127 00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:16.880 wouldn't control. 1128 00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:17.720 Is that kind of... 1129 00:59:17.720 --> 00:59:18.560 That is correct, yes. 1130 00:59:19.160 --> 00:59:20.000 So... 1131 00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:22.400 So the US said this, and this is our real get lost. 1132 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:23.960 That is correct, yes, right? 1133 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:25.400 So what the United States is doing, 1134 00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:27.840 it's slowly expanding its global reach. 1135 00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:28.680 The way it's doing that, 1136 00:59:28.680 --> 00:59:30.280 it's starting to treat these 1137 00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:33.200 with nations that are part of these choke points. 1138 00:59:33.200 --> 00:59:34.560 So the trade in Malacca, 1139 00:59:34.560 --> 00:59:35.760 recently, the United States has signed 1140 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.360 a military cooperation agreement with Indonesia. 1141 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:40.280 And with a shortage of polter, 1142 00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:43.360 the markets have signed an agreement now with Morocco, right? 1143 00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:45.720 So they're looking for the legal framework 1144 00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:48.640 and justification to control the world's choke points, 1145 00:59:48.640 --> 00:59:51.080 which would bring them directly in conflict 1146 00:59:51.080 --> 00:59:52.560 with the Russian and shadow fleet. 1147 00:59:52.560 --> 00:59:55.320 So at some point, you think the way that the war starts 1148 00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.320 is the US Navy attacks a Russian boat. 1149 01:00:02.160 --> 01:00:06.560 So I personally believe that this would be a drawn out process 1150 01:00:06.560 --> 01:00:10.040 that, and there's no real concrete flashpoint. 1151 01:00:10.040 --> 01:00:13.080 Because not only are Russian shadow flankers 1152 01:00:13.080 --> 01:00:16.000 shadow fleet tankers being seized, 1153 01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:18.280 but remember, Russian ore furniture 1154 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:20.240 are being destroyed by Ukrainian drones. 1155 01:00:20.240 --> 01:00:22.040 The Russians believe that it is NATO 1156 01:00:22.040 --> 01:00:24.560 that is responsible for the sabotage. 1157 01:00:24.560 --> 01:00:27.680 So what do you take the catalyst moment is 1158 01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:29.120 when this will kick off? 1159 01:00:29.120 --> 01:00:30.920 I think we're already in the catalyst moment. 1160 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:32.880 I think we're already in war with three. 1161 01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:35.200 Because this conflict, 1162 01:00:35.200 --> 01:00:39.040 it's gonna expand outwards into a global conflict. 1163 01:00:39.040 --> 01:00:41.280 And there's nothing anyone can do to stop this, right? 1164 01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:43.760 Because again, you have these different competing visions 1165 01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:45.600 of how the world should work. 1166 01:00:45.600 --> 01:00:47.160 And the Russians and the Americans are already 1167 01:00:47.160 --> 01:00:49.240 at conflict with each other. 1168 01:00:49.240 --> 01:00:54.440 So the next step will be the Russians come into this war 1169 01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:55.920 on the side of the Iranians. 1170 01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:56.920 You think that's gonna happen? 1171 01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:57.840 I think that's gonna happen. 1172 01:00:57.840 --> 01:00:59.560 Because according to Russian grand strategy, 1173 01:00:59.560 --> 01:01:02.640 you have no choice but to say the Iranians. 1174 01:01:02.640 --> 01:01:05.400 Because you're trying to promote this view 1175 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:07.520 that the world is split between the spiritual 1176 01:01:07.520 --> 01:01:08.640 and the material. 1177 01:01:08.640 --> 01:01:10.840 The Americans are the antichrist. 1178 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:14.480 The Americans support individual hedonism. 1179 01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.920 Whereas we Russians, we believe in humanity. 1180 01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:19.120 We believe in goodness. 1181 01:01:19.120 --> 01:01:20.880 We believe in community, right? 1182 01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.160 So if you believe, if that is your argument, 1183 01:01:23.160 --> 01:01:24.160 if that's your grand strategy, 1184 01:01:24.160 --> 01:01:26.680 you have a more obligation, a more imperative 1185 01:01:26.680 --> 01:01:28.520 to help the Iranians in their time of need. 1186 01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:33.120 And in fact, Prime Minister Arachi of Iran 1187 01:01:33.120 --> 01:01:35.920 has recently visited Putin in Moscow. 1188 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:38.840 Putin, Putin personally received him 1189 01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:42.920 and said Arachi, we the Russian people admire 1190 01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:47.680 your determination, your resolve against the Americans. 1191 01:01:47.680 --> 01:01:52.680 And I think that is a sign that Putin has entered the chat 1192 01:01:53.200 --> 01:01:56.960 in that the Russians will start to help the Iranians 1193 01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:58.840 as his war progresses. 1194 01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:00.680 So let's go back to this map, okay? 1195 01:02:00.680 --> 01:02:05.280 And the Americans have a three-quang strategy 1196 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:09.600 to strangle Iran. 1197 01:02:10.560 --> 01:02:13.000 The first is to use ground forces 1198 01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:14.920 to establish border-operated bases 1199 01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:18.520 to incite ethnic violence in the country. 1200 01:02:18.520 --> 01:02:21.080 The second is to block all the children who move 1201 01:02:21.080 --> 01:02:23.680 and cut off the Iranian financing. 1202 01:02:23.680 --> 01:02:27.360 The third is to strangle Iran and cause the people 1203 01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:29.600 to rise up against the government, okay? 1204 01:02:29.600 --> 01:02:33.560 It will rush us so if things stay the same as they are, 1205 01:02:33.560 --> 01:02:36.800 now America wins easily. 1206 01:02:37.720 --> 01:02:41.720 But if Russia were to enter the war on behalf of Iranians, 1207 01:02:41.720 --> 01:02:44.040 the first thing that Russia would do 1208 01:02:44.040 --> 01:02:48.240 is to provide tyrann with reinforcement 1209 01:02:48.240 --> 01:02:49.880 from the Kashmir and sea, right? 1210 01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:53.360 Because the Americans want to knock out tyrannically 1211 01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:56.800 to provide food, water, and electricity to its people. 1212 01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:58.800 But food and fascism and sea, 1213 01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:02.200 the Russians can support the Iranians. 1214 01:03:02.200 --> 01:03:03.800 But not only that, and this is much more important, 1215 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:05.520 if the Russians were to come in, 1216 01:03:05.520 --> 01:03:07.800 they could also bring the Chinese into the war 1217 01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:09.400 on behalf of the Iranians. 1218 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.000 And the Chinese could use the belt and rolling initiative 1219 01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:13.400 based on the railway system 1220 01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:18.400 to reinforce tyrann from the East. 1221 01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:21.760 So now you can now number strangle tyrann 1222 01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:24.640 because the Russians or the Chinese are reinforcing tyrann. 1223 01:03:24.640 --> 01:03:27.280 Then what the Russians could do 1224 01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.320 is to provide financing to the Iranians. 1225 01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:34.520 Basically, the Chinese and the Russians can say 1226 01:03:34.520 --> 01:03:37.680 to Iranians, don't worry about financing. 1227 01:03:37.680 --> 01:03:40.080 We will give you enough financing 1228 01:03:40.080 --> 01:03:42.240 for you to continue this war for as long as you want. 1229 01:03:42.240 --> 01:03:45.080 And we'll use our resources as collateral 1230 01:03:45.080 --> 01:03:47.680 for this financing, right? 1231 01:03:47.680 --> 01:03:50.280 And the third thing, and this is actually the most important 1232 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:55.280 is that Russia could put Iran under its nuclear umbrella. 1233 01:03:56.280 --> 01:04:00.280 And this wouldn't negate the use of tactical nuclear weapons. 1234 01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:02.280 These released and the Americans, 1235 01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:05.280 if they really felt under pressure, 1236 01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:07.280 if they really put in a corner, 1237 01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:10.280 they could always choose to use tactical nuclear weapons. 1238 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:15.280 The Russians were involved that negates that option, right? 1239 01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:17.280 So if the Russians get involved in this war, 1240 01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.280 they bring the Chinese, they provide the resources 1241 01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:22.280 and the financing to continue this war 1242 01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:27.280 for as long as it takes, right? 1243 01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.280 And now the Americans need to expand this war 1244 01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:36.280 or in the world to try now to topple the government in Russia. 1245 01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:41.280 Because the Russians are the main backers of the Iranians. 1246 01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:45.280 And you're predicting that Russia will get involved here. 1247 01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.280 According to the grand strategy of Russia, 1248 01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:51.280 the Russians have no choice but to get involved 1249 01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:54.280 because what will happen is that if you look at some math, 1250 01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:57.280 if you read war to be conquered by the Americans, 1251 01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:01.280 or there's release, the entire sovereign flank 1252 01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:06.280 of the Russians are now exposed to possible attack. 1253 01:05:06.280 --> 01:05:08.280 And that's something that the Russians 1254 01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:10.280 would never allow to happen. 1255 01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:13.280 The sovereign facts are this from underneath. 1256 01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:15.280 Basically, right? Right? 1257 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:16.280 But knowing that, 1258 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.280 but the Americans already have close relations 1259 01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:21.280 with Azerbaijan. 1260 01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:23.280 And they already have bases to make a stand 1261 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:25.280 as once you back a stand, right? 1262 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:28.280 So you can see how once the Americans can start this area, 1263 01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:31.280 they can now attack Russia from the South. 1264 01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:35.280 But what's most important is the issue of global trade, 1265 01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:39.280 where a counter to America's never blockade 1266 01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.280 is by creating a Eurasian trade block 1267 01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:45.280 that involves Iran, Russia, and China. 1268 01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:50.280 If you look at Russia's North-South corridor, right? 1269 01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:51.280 If you look at China's, 1270 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:53.280 if you look at Russia's North-South corridor, 1271 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:54.280 it runs fully Iran. 1272 01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:56.280 If Russia wants to access the Middle East, 1273 01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:57.280 that's what's Africa, 1274 01:05:57.280 --> 01:05:58.280 it has to go fully Iran. 1275 01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:00.280 Look at China's bottom road initiative. 1276 01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.280 It goes fully Iran as well. 1277 01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:04.280 So by taking out Iran, 1278 01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:08.280 you've blockaded both Russia and China. 1279 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.280 70% of people who had something to the online cart 1280 01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:12.280 never actually buy it. 1281 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:15.280 And that number is based on over 10 years of research. 1282 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:16.280 But what I think is even more interesting 1283 01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:18.280 is what the Bay Mard Institute discovered. 1284 01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:21.280 They're a private research company that ran a study, 1285 01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:23.280 which found the average e-commerce store 1286 01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:26.280 can increase its conversion rate by 35% 1287 01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:28.280 just by making its checkout easier. 1288 01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.280 Not better marketing or better products, 1289 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:32.280 but by delivering a smoother checkout experience. 1290 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.280 So if you're looking for an easy way 1291 01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:36.280 to make your checkout process smoother, 1292 01:06:36.280 --> 01:06:38.280 I want you to think about moving your business on to Shopify. 1293 01:06:38.280 --> 01:06:41.280 It's the platform we use to sell the 1% diaries 1294 01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:44.280 and the conversation cards because it's so simple 1295 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:45.280 and smart to use. 1296 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:47.280 It puts all of our inventory payments 1297 01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:48.280 and analytics in one place 1298 01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:51.280 and has so many AI tools to help us get up 1299 01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:52.280 and running straight away. 1300 01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:54.280 Not to mention that it grows with you 1301 01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:56.280 regardless of the stage that your business is at. 1302 01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:58.280 So if you're ready to fix your checkout process, 1303 01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:01.280 sign up for your $1 per month trial 1304 01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:04.280 at Shopify.com slash Bartlett. 1305 01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:06.280 That's Shopify.com slash Bartlett 1306 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:07.280 and don't tell anybody. 1307 01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:10.280 I run multiple companies that have multiple sales teams. 1308 01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:12.280 And one of the things as a founder of a company 1309 01:07:12.280 --> 01:07:15.280 that's often confusing is you find it hard to figure out 1310 01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:16.280 where sales are. 1311 01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:18.280 So about 10 years ago I started using pipe drive 1312 01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:19.280 in my former company. 1313 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.280 And it's also the reason why I switched over 1314 01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:23.280 all of my commercial teams in my current media company 1315 01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:25.280 called Stephen.com to use pipe drive as well. 1316 01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:27.280 Not only did they sponsor this show, 1317 01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:28.280 but they've been an incredibly effective way 1318 01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:30.280 of scaling our sales engine over the years. 1319 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.280 pipe drive is an easy-to-use intelligence CRM. 1320 01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:34.280 And at its very core, 1321 01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:38.280 it makes your sales process visible through one dashboard. 1322 01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:41.280 A visual pipeline showing every deal, 1323 01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:43.280 what stage it's in, what needs to happen next. 1324 01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:46.280 And it's all in real time with no delay. 1325 01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:48.280 It doesn't magically close the deal for you, of course. 1326 01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:51.280 But it does replace complexity with clarity. 1327 01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:53.280 If you want to join over 100,000 companies 1328 01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:55.280 already using pipe drive, 1329 01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:57.280 you can use my link for a 30 day free trial 1330 01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.280 with no credit card payment needed. 1331 01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:03.280 Head to pipedrive.com slash CEO to get started. 1332 01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:06.280 That's pipe drive.com slash CEO. 1333 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:07.280 CEO. 1334 01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:09.280 I'll see you over there. 1335 01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:11.280 So when do you think this is going to happen? 1336 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:13.280 If you get what to give me a timeline of events, 1337 01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:14.280 you think it's going to occur. 1338 01:08:14.280 --> 01:08:16.280 What timeline do you think you're operating under? 1339 01:08:16.280 --> 01:08:18.280 I guess one of the factors here is that 1340 01:08:18.280 --> 01:08:21.280 Trump only has what three years left in power. 1341 01:08:21.280 --> 01:08:24.280 So, you know, 1342 01:08:24.280 --> 01:08:27.280 he's presumably going to leave power at some point soon. 1343 01:08:27.280 --> 01:08:28.280 So if you were around, 1344 01:08:28.280 --> 01:08:29.280 you might just want to play it out 1345 01:08:29.280 --> 01:08:32.280 and hope that there's a different leadership in place 1346 01:08:32.280 --> 01:08:35.280 by 20, what, be 2030? 1347 01:08:35.280 --> 01:08:37.280 The public leadership in Iran 1348 01:08:37.280 --> 01:08:39.280 believe that they can win Trump out. 1349 01:08:39.280 --> 01:08:41.280 So they're winning for the midterms 1350 01:08:41.280 --> 01:08:43.280 because they believe that in November, 1351 01:08:43.280 --> 01:08:45.280 the Democrats will win the midterms 1352 01:08:45.280 --> 01:08:47.280 and then they won't pitch Trump. 1353 01:08:47.280 --> 01:08:51.280 And basically constrained his capacity to fight wars. 1354 01:08:51.280 --> 01:08:53.280 And worst case scenario, 1355 01:08:53.280 --> 01:08:58.280 Trump will be gone in 2020 as you point out. 1356 01:08:58.280 --> 01:09:00.280 There's some problems with this. 1357 01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:03.280 The first major problem is the national defense strategy 1358 01:09:03.280 --> 01:09:05.280 which we looked at previously. 1359 01:09:05.280 --> 01:09:07.280 The national defense strategy, 1360 01:09:07.280 --> 01:09:11.280 it is a long term strategic framework 1361 01:09:11.280 --> 01:09:13.280 for how America can control the world. 1362 01:09:13.280 --> 01:09:17.280 And so, one possibility is that Trump 1363 01:09:17.280 --> 01:09:19.280 is just creating enough chaos 1364 01:09:19.280 --> 01:09:21.280 for America to transition. 1365 01:09:21.280 --> 01:09:23.280 When the Democrats come to power, 1366 01:09:23.280 --> 01:09:24.280 if they come to power, 1367 01:09:24.280 --> 01:09:26.280 they will institutionalize the strategy. 1368 01:09:26.280 --> 01:09:29.280 And we know this as a possibility 1369 01:09:29.280 --> 01:09:31.280 because in Trump's first term, 1370 01:09:31.280 --> 01:09:35.280 he changed America's strategy around the world. 1371 01:09:35.280 --> 01:09:37.280 And then when Biden came in power, 1372 01:09:37.280 --> 01:09:41.280 he then institutionalized the strategy 1373 01:09:41.280 --> 01:09:43.280 via the China. 1374 01:09:43.280 --> 01:09:45.280 So it was Trump who launched 1375 01:09:45.280 --> 01:09:47.280 this terror war against China 1376 01:09:47.280 --> 01:09:49.280 and then Biden comes in power 1377 01:09:49.280 --> 01:09:51.280 and institutionalizes it. 1378 01:09:51.280 --> 01:09:53.280 So I think World War III, 1379 01:09:53.280 --> 01:09:57.280 it's a much more long-term war of attrition. 1380 01:09:57.280 --> 01:10:01.280 And I don't think that this war 1381 01:10:01.280 --> 01:10:05.280 will end anytime soon. 1382 01:10:05.280 --> 01:10:07.280 You've made a series of new predictions. 1383 01:10:07.280 --> 01:10:09.280 You've made eight new predictions. 1384 01:10:09.280 --> 01:10:11.280 Okay. 1385 01:10:11.280 --> 01:10:13.280 And I have them in this box here. 1386 01:10:13.280 --> 01:10:15.280 Okay. 1387 01:10:15.280 --> 01:10:17.280 I'll let you reveal what those predictions are. 1388 01:10:17.280 --> 01:10:19.280 Okay. 1389 01:10:19.280 --> 01:10:21.280 This is one prediction. 1390 01:10:21.280 --> 01:10:23.280 Okay. 1391 01:10:27.280 --> 01:10:29.280 Okay. So this is most controversial prediction. 1392 01:10:29.280 --> 01:10:31.280 I predict that there will be a use of war 1393 01:10:31.280 --> 01:10:33.280 and Trump will get a third term. 1394 01:10:33.280 --> 01:10:35.280 You think Trump will get a third term? 1395 01:10:35.280 --> 01:10:37.280 Isn't that constitutionally illegal? 1396 01:10:37.280 --> 01:10:41.280 There are things that are unconventional 1397 01:10:41.280 --> 01:10:43.280 and immoral 1398 01:10:43.280 --> 01:10:47.280 and wrong and evil and dangerous. 1399 01:10:47.280 --> 01:10:51.280 And there are certain things that are illegal. 1400 01:10:51.280 --> 01:10:53.280 Trump getting a third term 1401 01:10:53.280 --> 01:10:55.280 is not illegal. 1402 01:10:55.280 --> 01:10:59.280 So let me explain the loophole. 1403 01:10:59.280 --> 01:11:01.280 What Trump could do is this. 1404 01:11:01.280 --> 01:11:03.280 Okay. 1405 01:11:03.280 --> 01:11:05.280 There are two possibilities. 1406 01:11:05.280 --> 01:11:07.280 The first possibility is 1407 01:11:07.280 --> 01:11:09.280 in 2028, he has his son, 1408 01:11:09.280 --> 01:11:11.280 Don Jr. run as a president 1409 01:11:11.280 --> 01:11:13.280 and he runs as the vice president. 1410 01:11:13.280 --> 01:11:15.280 And then when Don Jr. wins, 1411 01:11:15.280 --> 01:11:17.280 if he wins, 1412 01:11:17.280 --> 01:11:19.280 then Don Jr. could advocate 1413 01:11:19.280 --> 01:11:23.280 and Trump would be the president. 1414 01:11:23.280 --> 01:11:25.280 And in the constitution, 1415 01:11:25.280 --> 01:11:27.280 you need the constitution very carefully. 1416 01:11:27.280 --> 01:11:31.280 It doesn't actually prohibit people from doing that. 1417 01:11:31.280 --> 01:11:33.280 It's not been done in the past. 1418 01:11:33.280 --> 01:11:35.280 And like no same person 1419 01:11:35.280 --> 01:11:39.280 with any morality would do this. 1420 01:11:39.280 --> 01:11:41.280 But that doesn't stop Trump from doing this. 1421 01:11:41.280 --> 01:11:43.280 Okay. That's one possibility. 1422 01:11:43.280 --> 01:11:45.280 Another possibility is that 1423 01:11:45.280 --> 01:11:47.280 by 2028, America 1424 01:11:47.280 --> 01:11:51.280 is at war with everyone. 1425 01:11:51.280 --> 01:11:53.280 There's an actual draft. 1426 01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:55.280 The president now has emergency war powers. 1427 01:11:55.280 --> 01:11:57.280 And so he can actually suspend 1428 01:11:57.280 --> 01:11:59.280 the constitution 1429 01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:01.280 and delay the election, 1430 01:12:01.280 --> 01:12:03.280 which is what Zelensky did in Ukraine. 1431 01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:05.280 So these are two different possibilities. 1432 01:12:05.280 --> 01:12:07.280 But I think 1433 01:12:07.280 --> 01:12:11.280 that given Trump's track record, 1434 01:12:11.280 --> 01:12:13.280 given his personality, 1435 01:12:13.280 --> 01:12:15.280 I think he very much 1436 01:12:15.280 --> 01:12:17.280 wants a third term. 1437 01:12:17.280 --> 01:12:19.280 And I think that he will do 1438 01:12:19.280 --> 01:12:21.280 every possible 1439 01:12:21.280 --> 01:12:23.280 to get a third term. 1440 01:12:23.280 --> 01:12:27.280 He would turn 83 years old 1441 01:12:27.280 --> 01:12:29.280 in the same year that he finishes his second term. 1442 01:12:29.280 --> 01:12:31.280 This is the man 1443 01:12:31.280 --> 01:12:35.280 who eats McDonald's hamburgers 1444 01:12:35.280 --> 01:12:37.280 every day. 1445 01:12:37.280 --> 01:12:41.280 He doesn't really work out. 1446 01:12:41.280 --> 01:12:43.280 Yet, on the campaign trail, 1447 01:12:43.280 --> 01:12:47.280 he's able to go to two rallies a day. 1448 01:12:47.280 --> 01:12:49.280 And in each rally, 1449 01:12:49.280 --> 01:12:51.280 just 50,000 people. 1450 01:12:51.280 --> 01:12:53.280 And he will talk on 1451 01:12:53.280 --> 01:12:55.280 and on and on. 1452 01:12:55.280 --> 01:12:57.280 Then, at night, 1453 01:12:57.280 --> 01:12:59.280 when he should be sleeping, 1454 01:12:59.280 --> 01:13:01.280 he's either on 1455 01:13:01.280 --> 01:13:03.280 two social tweeting about the world, 1456 01:13:03.280 --> 01:13:05.280 or he's calling out reporters 1457 01:13:05.280 --> 01:13:07.280 and telling him 1458 01:13:07.280 --> 01:13:09.280 or her some confidential information 1459 01:13:09.280 --> 01:13:11.280 that he really shouldn't be discussing with 1460 01:13:11.280 --> 01:13:13.280 the media. 1461 01:13:13.280 --> 01:13:15.280 This is a man 1462 01:13:15.280 --> 01:13:17.280 who loves a spotlight. 1463 01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:19.280 He's lived all his life 1464 01:13:19.280 --> 01:13:21.280 in the spotlight. 1465 01:13:21.280 --> 01:13:23.280 For him, 1466 01:13:23.280 --> 01:13:25.280 death 1467 01:13:25.280 --> 01:13:27.280 is 1468 01:13:27.280 --> 01:13:29.280 to be ignored. 1469 01:13:29.280 --> 01:13:31.280 So, given his personality, 1470 01:13:31.280 --> 01:13:33.280 he will rather die in office 1471 01:13:33.280 --> 01:13:35.280 than 1472 01:13:35.280 --> 01:13:37.280 live peacefully 1473 01:13:37.280 --> 01:13:39.280 somewhere else. 1474 01:13:39.280 --> 01:13:41.280 And of those two strategies that you name 1475 01:13:41.280 --> 01:13:43.280 to where he puts his son in 1476 01:13:43.280 --> 01:13:44.280 and then becomes president that way. 1477 01:13:44.280 --> 01:13:46.280 He will break out. 1478 01:13:46.280 --> 01:13:48.280 So, he says he has to stay in office. 1479 01:13:48.280 --> 01:13:50.280 Of those two strategies, 1480 01:13:50.280 --> 01:13:52.280 which one do you think he's more like 1481 01:13:52.280 --> 01:13:54.280 he should deploy? 1482 01:13:54.280 --> 01:13:56.280 I actually think 1483 01:13:56.280 --> 01:13:58.280 that giving his narcissism 1484 01:13:58.280 --> 01:14:00.280 would prefer the first strategy. 1485 01:14:00.280 --> 01:14:02.280 His putting his son in. 1486 01:14:02.280 --> 01:14:04.280 Because that shows himself 1487 01:14:04.280 --> 01:14:06.280 in the world 1488 01:14:06.280 --> 01:14:08.280 that America loves him. 1489 01:14:08.280 --> 01:14:10.280 Okay. And it could also be 1490 01:14:10.280 --> 01:14:12.280 JD Vance or someone else, 1491 01:14:12.280 --> 01:14:13.280 right? It doesn't have to be his son necessarily. 1492 01:14:13.280 --> 01:14:15.280 Everyone that's really worked for 12 1493 01:14:15.280 --> 01:14:17.280 has been kind of screwed over by him. 1494 01:14:17.280 --> 01:14:19.280 Do you not think that 1495 01:14:19.280 --> 01:14:21.280 if his son decided to run 1496 01:14:21.280 --> 01:14:23.280 and then announced that the vice president was his dad, 1497 01:14:23.280 --> 01:14:25.280 do you not think 1498 01:14:25.280 --> 01:14:27.280 that there would be such 1499 01:14:27.280 --> 01:14:29.280 a huge backlash 1500 01:14:29.280 --> 01:14:31.280 in the United States that his son wouldn't win? 1501 01:14:31.280 --> 01:14:33.280 Well, I think 1502 01:14:33.280 --> 01:14:35.280 there's a possibility 1503 01:14:35.280 --> 01:14:37.280 that they figure out how to cheat 1504 01:14:37.280 --> 01:14:39.280 in 2028. 1505 01:14:39.280 --> 01:14:41.280 Oh, as an actually cheat at the election. 1506 01:14:41.280 --> 01:14:43.280 So at the poll. 1507 01:14:43.280 --> 01:14:45.280 Right. So let's go into 1508 01:14:45.280 --> 01:14:47.280 from mine. 1509 01:14:47.280 --> 01:14:49.280 All right. It's psychology. 1510 01:14:49.280 --> 01:14:51.280 In his mind, 1511 01:14:51.280 --> 01:14:53.280 he won in 2020. 1512 01:14:53.280 --> 01:14:55.280 The people voted for him. 1513 01:14:55.280 --> 01:14:57.280 But the Democrats 1514 01:14:57.280 --> 01:14:59.280 stole the election 1515 01:14:59.280 --> 01:15:01.280 with melon ballots 1516 01:15:01.280 --> 01:15:03.280 and by rigging 1517 01:15:03.280 --> 01:15:05.280 the election machines. 1518 01:15:05.280 --> 01:15:07.280 Okay. He in his mind. 1519 01:15:07.280 --> 01:15:09.280 He literally believes that. 1520 01:15:09.280 --> 01:15:11.280 He's a third term 1521 01:15:11.280 --> 01:15:13.280 and the people 1522 01:15:13.280 --> 01:15:15.280 and the government, 1523 01:15:15.280 --> 01:15:17.280 they owe him a second term, 1524 01:15:17.280 --> 01:15:19.280 which is what he wants now. 1525 01:15:19.280 --> 01:15:21.280 He wants 1526 01:15:21.280 --> 01:15:23.280 a conversation for having the election stolen from him 1527 01:15:23.280 --> 01:15:25.280 in 2020. 1528 01:15:25.280 --> 01:15:27.280 I find it really 1529 01:15:27.280 --> 01:15:29.280 implausible to think 1530 01:15:29.280 --> 01:15:31.280 that Trump would run for the third time. 1531 01:15:31.280 --> 01:15:33.280 So again, this is prediction. 1532 01:15:33.280 --> 01:15:35.280 Yeah. 1533 01:15:35.280 --> 01:15:37.280 And it is a test 1534 01:15:37.280 --> 01:15:39.280 of my theoretical framework. 1535 01:15:39.280 --> 01:15:41.280 I was looking at some 1536 01:15:41.280 --> 01:15:43.280 of the constitutions 1537 01:15:43.280 --> 01:15:45.280 and the laws. 1538 01:15:45.280 --> 01:15:47.280 And it says that this 1539 01:15:47.280 --> 01:15:49.280 22nd amendment explicitly states 1540 01:15:49.280 --> 01:15:51.280 no person shall be elected 1541 01:15:51.280 --> 01:15:53.280 to the office of the president more than twice. 1542 01:15:53.280 --> 01:15:55.280 Some theorists have tried to argue 1543 01:15:55.280 --> 01:15:57.280 that since the amendment says elected, 1544 01:15:57.280 --> 01:15:59.280 a person might be able to serve a third time 1545 01:15:59.280 --> 01:16:01.280 if they're appointed to succeed 1546 01:16:01.280 --> 01:16:03.280 to the role. 1547 01:16:03.280 --> 01:16:05.280 Exactly. If they were 1548 01:16:05.280 --> 01:16:07.280 elected to the president first, 1549 01:16:07.280 --> 01:16:09.280 legal scholars 1550 01:16:09.280 --> 01:16:11.280 and the judicial community 1551 01:16:11.280 --> 01:16:13.280 almost universally reject this. 1552 01:16:13.280 --> 01:16:15.280 The 12th amendment requires 1553 01:16:15.280 --> 01:16:17.280 that anyone serving as vice president 1554 01:16:17.280 --> 01:16:19.280 must be eligible 1555 01:16:19.280 --> 01:16:21.280 to be president. 1556 01:16:21.280 --> 01:16:23.280 Since a two-term president 1557 01:16:23.280 --> 01:16:25.280 is ineligible to be elected again, 1558 01:16:25.280 --> 01:16:27.280 they are legally barred 1559 01:16:27.280 --> 01:16:29.280 from being vice president. 1560 01:16:29.280 --> 01:16:31.280 So the point is 1561 01:16:31.280 --> 01:16:33.280 there's nothing explicit 1562 01:16:33.280 --> 01:16:35.280 and there's debate 1563 01:16:35.280 --> 01:16:37.280 in the legal community 1564 01:16:37.280 --> 01:16:39.280 about the spirit 1565 01:16:39.280 --> 01:16:41.280 of the 22nd amendment. 1566 01:16:41.280 --> 01:16:43.280 And the Supreme Court is controlled 1567 01:16:43.280 --> 01:16:45.280 right now by the conservatives. 1568 01:16:45.280 --> 01:16:47.280 The point is three 1569 01:16:47.280 --> 01:16:49.280 of the nine justices. 1570 01:16:49.280 --> 01:16:51.280 And there's a possibility he gets a fourth 1571 01:16:51.280 --> 01:16:53.280 later in the year. 1572 01:16:53.280 --> 01:16:55.280 So it's entirely up to Supreme Court 1573 01:16:55.280 --> 01:16:57.280 whether or not he can run. 1574 01:16:57.280 --> 01:16:59.280 And again, there's something explicit 1575 01:16:59.280 --> 01:17:01.280 in the Constitution 1576 01:17:01.280 --> 01:17:03.280 that's not the case. 1577 01:17:03.280 --> 01:17:05.280 The reason why the Constitution 1578 01:17:05.280 --> 01:17:07.280 is that there's a possibility 1579 01:17:07.280 --> 01:17:09.280 of being vice president. 1580 01:17:09.280 --> 01:17:11.280 Okay. 1581 01:17:11.280 --> 01:17:13.280 What's your next prediction? 1582 01:17:13.280 --> 01:17:15.280 My second prediction is 1583 01:17:15.280 --> 01:17:17.280 there'll be a grand bargain 1584 01:17:17.280 --> 01:17:19.280 between the United States and China. 1585 01:17:19.280 --> 01:17:21.280 What does that mean? 1586 01:17:21.280 --> 01:17:23.280 It means that people expect 1587 01:17:23.280 --> 01:17:25.280 that the United States and China 1588 01:17:25.280 --> 01:17:27.280 will go to war at some point 1589 01:17:27.280 --> 01:17:29.280 over Taiwan. 1590 01:17:29.280 --> 01:17:31.280 China does not want to do that. 1591 01:17:31.280 --> 01:17:33.280 China is probably happy 1592 01:17:33.280 --> 01:17:35.280 with America being 1593 01:17:35.280 --> 01:17:37.280 the world's hegemon 1594 01:17:37.280 --> 01:17:39.280 because you have to invest so much 1595 01:17:39.280 --> 01:17:41.280 of your resources into 1596 01:17:41.280 --> 01:17:43.280 finding these wars 1597 01:17:43.280 --> 01:17:45.280 that beg your nation. 1598 01:17:45.280 --> 01:17:47.280 China doesn't want to fight these wars. 1599 01:17:47.280 --> 01:17:49.280 So what China is going to do 1600 01:17:49.280 --> 01:17:51.280 is try to triangulate 1601 01:17:51.280 --> 01:17:53.280 between Russia 1602 01:17:53.280 --> 01:17:55.280 and the United States. 1603 01:17:55.280 --> 01:17:57.280 This is what happened 1604 01:17:57.280 --> 01:17:58.280 during the Cold War. When China was not actually on the side of the Soviet Union, 1605 01:17:58.280 --> 01:18:00.280 China was part of the 1606 01:18:00.280 --> 01:18:02.280 non-aligned community. 1607 01:18:02.280 --> 01:18:04.280 And that's what China is going to try for 1608 01:18:04.280 --> 01:18:06.280 in World War III, 1609 01:18:06.280 --> 01:18:08.280 where China may help out Iran, 1610 01:18:08.280 --> 01:18:10.280 may provide financing for Russia, 1611 01:18:10.280 --> 01:18:12.280 but it's also going to strike deals 1612 01:18:12.280 --> 01:18:14.280 with the United States as well. 1613 01:18:14.280 --> 01:18:16.280 Okay. 1614 01:18:16.280 --> 01:18:18.280 So I think that 1615 01:18:18.280 --> 01:18:20.280 Trump and president 1616 01:18:20.280 --> 01:18:22.280 are supposed to meet 1617 01:18:22.280 --> 01:18:24.280 at least three times, 1618 01:18:24.280 --> 01:18:26.280 possibly four times this year. 1619 01:18:26.280 --> 01:18:28.280 The first will be 1620 01:18:28.280 --> 01:18:30.280 in Beijing. 1621 01:18:30.280 --> 01:18:32.280 And I think that they will start a process 1622 01:18:32.280 --> 01:18:34.280 in which China and America 1623 01:18:34.280 --> 01:18:36.280 come to an arrangement 1624 01:18:36.280 --> 01:18:38.280 that benefits both economically. 1625 01:18:38.280 --> 01:18:40.280 What does America want? 1626 01:18:40.280 --> 01:18:42.280 America wants China 1627 01:18:42.280 --> 01:18:44.280 to continue to buy US Treasuries 1628 01:18:44.280 --> 01:18:46.280 in order to finance 1629 01:18:46.280 --> 01:18:48.280 the American debt. 1630 01:18:48.280 --> 01:18:50.280 What does China want? China wants 1631 01:18:50.280 --> 01:18:52.280 energy resources 1632 01:18:52.280 --> 01:18:54.280 from the Western hemisphere 1633 01:18:54.280 --> 01:18:56.280 and wants to access the American market. 1634 01:18:56.280 --> 01:18:58.280 So there's no reason 1635 01:18:58.280 --> 01:19:00.280 why China and America 1636 01:19:00.280 --> 01:19:02.280 can I come to an arrangement 1637 01:19:02.280 --> 01:19:04.280 that benefits both. 1638 01:19:04.280 --> 01:19:06.280 And Trump is very much a transactional 1639 01:19:06.280 --> 01:19:08.280 character. 1640 01:19:08.280 --> 01:19:10.280 What will that mean for the world? 1641 01:19:10.280 --> 01:19:12.280 It means that China is not really 1642 01:19:12.280 --> 01:19:14.280 part of World War III in a meaningful way. 1643 01:19:14.280 --> 01:19:16.280 Okay. So they're going to do a deal 1644 01:19:16.280 --> 01:19:18.280 they'll continue to work together as friends. 1645 01:19:18.280 --> 01:19:20.280 The China War 1646 01:19:20.280 --> 01:19:22.280 will be friends with both Russia 1647 01:19:22.280 --> 01:19:24.280 and the United States 1648 01:19:24.280 --> 01:19:26.280 as Russia and the United States 1649 01:19:26.280 --> 01:19:28.280 like each other. 1650 01:19:28.280 --> 01:19:30.280 Okay. What's your next prediction? 1651 01:19:30.280 --> 01:19:32.280 Iran is another forever war 1652 01:19:32.280 --> 01:19:34.280 and the United States will 1653 01:19:34.280 --> 01:19:36.280 institute a national draft. 1654 01:19:36.280 --> 01:19:38.280 Iran is another forever war 1655 01:19:38.280 --> 01:19:40.280 and the United States will institute 1656 01:19:40.280 --> 01:19:42.280 a national draft. 1657 01:19:42.280 --> 01:19:44.280 So you think 1658 01:19:44.280 --> 01:19:46.280 Iran is going to, 1659 01:19:46.280 --> 01:19:48.280 Iran is going to, 1660 01:19:48.280 --> 01:19:50.280 Iran is going to tumble 1661 01:19:50.280 --> 01:19:52.280 so the logic is this. 1662 01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:54.280 America doesn't really care 1663 01:19:54.280 --> 01:19:58.280 if Iran is a feeder or not. 1664 01:19:58.280 --> 01:20:00.280 That's not really part 1665 01:20:00.280 --> 01:20:02.280 of the American grand strategy. 1666 01:20:02.280 --> 01:20:04.280 Iran right now is a perfect pretext 1667 01:20:04.280 --> 01:20:06.280 for America 1668 01:20:06.280 --> 01:20:08.280 to expand out words and establish 1669 01:20:08.280 --> 01:20:10.280 maritime choke points around the world 1670 01:20:10.280 --> 01:20:12.280 and to force the world 1671 01:20:12.280 --> 01:20:14.280 to buy American energy. 1672 01:20:14.280 --> 01:20:16.280 So this war in Iran 1673 01:20:16.280 --> 01:20:18.280 benefits America tremendously. 1674 01:20:18.280 --> 01:20:20.280 So I want to have it go on 1675 01:20:20.280 --> 01:20:22.280 for a long long time. 1676 01:20:22.280 --> 01:20:24.280 In order to make sure 1677 01:20:24.280 --> 01:20:26.280 this war goes on for a long time 1678 01:20:26.280 --> 01:20:28.280 you need ground troops 1679 01:20:28.280 --> 01:20:30.280 and you need a lot of ground troops 1680 01:20:30.280 --> 01:20:32.280 and that's why you need a national draft. 1681 01:20:32.280 --> 01:20:34.280 So what would a national draft look like 1682 01:20:34.280 --> 01:20:36.280 in the United States? 1683 01:20:36.280 --> 01:20:38.280 Everyone between the age of 18 1684 01:20:38.280 --> 01:20:40.280 and 25 has to sign up to the army. 1685 01:20:40.280 --> 01:20:42.280 Right. So most people don't appreciate this 1686 01:20:42.280 --> 01:20:44.280 but America has always had a draft 1687 01:20:44.280 --> 01:20:46.280 but for the longest time 1688 01:20:46.280 --> 01:20:48.280 when you look at the care 1689 01:20:48.280 --> 01:20:50.280 whether or not you actually 1690 01:20:50.280 --> 01:20:52.280 sound for the draft. 1691 01:20:52.280 --> 01:20:54.280 And so in December 1692 01:20:54.280 --> 01:20:56.280 participation in the draft will be automatic 1693 01:20:56.280 --> 01:20:58.280 meaning that you are between 18 1694 01:20:58.280 --> 01:21:00.280 to the 24 in America 1695 01:21:00.280 --> 01:21:02.280 and in your mail 1696 01:21:02.280 --> 01:21:04.280 you'll be automatically put into the draft system. 1697 01:21:04.280 --> 01:21:06.280 From when? I mean from December. 1698 01:21:06.280 --> 01:21:08.280 This year. Yes. That is correct. 1699 01:21:08.280 --> 01:21:10.280 So between the age of 18 and 25 1700 01:21:10.280 --> 01:21:12.280 you think what does that really mean? 1701 01:21:12.280 --> 01:21:14.280 I've not really experienced that in my lifetime. 1702 01:21:14.280 --> 01:21:16.280 No, mail. Mail? 1703 01:21:16.280 --> 01:21:18.280 Then you have to sign up for the army. 1704 01:21:18.280 --> 01:21:20.280 No, you already put into a draft. 1705 01:21:20.280 --> 01:21:22.280 Oh, you're ready? 1706 01:21:22.280 --> 01:21:24.280 Okay, but you might be cooled upon. 1707 01:21:24.280 --> 01:21:26.280 That's right. It's a lottery system. 1708 01:21:26.280 --> 01:21:28.280 Okay. Right. 1709 01:21:28.280 --> 01:21:30.280 And there's quite a lot of backlash 1710 01:21:30.280 --> 01:21:32.280 during the Vietnam era. 1711 01:21:32.280 --> 01:21:34.280 And so they sort of tone it down. 1712 01:21:34.280 --> 01:21:36.280 But starting in December, 1713 01:21:36.280 --> 01:21:38.280 they just pass a law that says that starting in December 1714 01:21:38.280 --> 01:21:40.280 you will be automatically registered 1715 01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:42.280 or they've passed a rule. 1716 01:21:42.280 --> 01:21:44.280 Yes, they have. 1717 01:21:44.280 --> 01:21:46.280 Well, in theory, Congress personally used to declare war. 1718 01:21:46.280 --> 01:21:48.280 Okay. Right. 1719 01:21:48.280 --> 01:21:50.280 That's a first step. 1720 01:21:50.280 --> 01:21:52.280 And Congress has not actually declared war yet. 1721 01:21:52.280 --> 01:21:54.280 Okay. So you think they'll be a draft 1722 01:21:54.280 --> 01:21:56.280 and you think this war in Iran is going to trickle on for... 1723 01:21:56.280 --> 01:21:58.280 A long time. 1724 01:21:58.280 --> 01:22:00.280 How long? 10, 20 years. 1725 01:22:00.280 --> 01:22:02.280 Like Afghanistan or? 1726 01:22:02.280 --> 01:22:04.280 I don't see it stopping. 1727 01:22:04.280 --> 01:22:06.280 Okay. What's next? 1728 01:22:06.280 --> 01:22:08.280 Your prediction box. 1729 01:22:08.280 --> 01:22:10.280 Okay. 1730 01:22:10.280 --> 01:22:12.280 The world will move towards an AI surveillance state. 1731 01:22:12.280 --> 01:22:14.280 I feel like that's already happening. 1732 01:22:14.280 --> 01:22:16.280 I think it's pretty obvious. 1733 01:22:16.280 --> 01:22:18.280 Yeah. What does that mean in reality 1734 01:22:18.280 --> 01:22:20.280 for the average person? Because you know, we're seeing 1735 01:22:20.280 --> 01:22:22.280 some of these big companies like 1736 01:22:22.280 --> 01:22:26.280 Open AI and anthropical sort of signing up to government 1737 01:22:26.280 --> 01:22:28.280 military surveillance projects. 1738 01:22:28.280 --> 01:22:30.280 What does that mean for the average person? 1739 01:22:30.280 --> 01:22:32.280 Right. So the average person, it means two things. 1740 01:22:32.280 --> 01:22:34.280 It means digital ID. 1741 01:22:34.280 --> 01:22:36.280 Digital currency. 1742 01:22:36.280 --> 01:22:38.280 Okay. So what that will allow is for the government 1743 01:22:38.280 --> 01:22:40.280 to basically monitor everything you do online 1744 01:22:40.280 --> 01:22:42.280 and control all financial transactions. 1745 01:22:42.280 --> 01:22:44.280 It can basically program 1746 01:22:44.280 --> 01:22:46.280 your bank account 1747 01:22:46.280 --> 01:22:48.280 so like you can't buy cigarettes 1748 01:22:48.280 --> 01:22:50.280 or you can't buy drugs. 1749 01:22:50.280 --> 01:22:54.280 And this will allow the government to basically 1750 01:22:54.280 --> 01:22:56.280 categorize everyone 1751 01:22:56.280 --> 01:22:58.280 and put everyone into a certain database 1752 01:22:58.280 --> 01:23:00.280 to monitor that person. 1753 01:23:00.280 --> 01:23:02.280 And once you have... 1754 01:23:02.280 --> 01:23:04.280 Once you're able to categorize everyone, 1755 01:23:04.280 --> 01:23:08.280 then you are able to use AI 1756 01:23:08.280 --> 01:23:10.280 to predict their behavior. 1757 01:23:10.280 --> 01:23:12.280 Isn't this book goes on in some parts of the world? 1758 01:23:12.280 --> 01:23:14.280 This is where it goes on in China. 1759 01:23:14.280 --> 01:23:16.280 And that's how I know about this. 1760 01:23:16.280 --> 01:23:18.280 How does it work in China? 1761 01:23:18.280 --> 01:23:20.280 Well in China, we all have digital ID. 1762 01:23:20.280 --> 01:23:22.280 If you want to access 1763 01:23:22.280 --> 01:23:24.280 anything in China, 1764 01:23:24.280 --> 01:23:26.280 you need your digital ID. 1765 01:23:26.280 --> 01:23:28.280 So you're going to open a bank account. 1766 01:23:28.280 --> 01:23:30.280 You have to use a digital ID. 1767 01:23:30.280 --> 01:23:32.280 If you want to use any 1768 01:23:32.280 --> 01:23:34.280 you have to use a digital ID. 1769 01:23:34.280 --> 01:23:36.280 If you want to use a phone, 1770 01:23:36.280 --> 01:23:38.280 you have to use digital ID. 1771 01:23:38.280 --> 01:23:40.280 So everyone's part of this 1772 01:23:40.280 --> 01:23:42.280 national database. 1773 01:23:42.280 --> 01:23:44.280 And then what this allows 1774 01:23:44.280 --> 01:23:46.280 going to do is basically 1775 01:23:46.280 --> 01:23:48.280 monitor everything you do. 1776 01:23:48.280 --> 01:23:50.280 Because basically, 1777 01:23:50.280 --> 01:23:52.280 depending on how you buy things, 1778 01:23:52.280 --> 01:23:54.280 I can then extrapolate 1779 01:23:54.280 --> 01:23:56.280 to figure out your behavior. 1780 01:23:56.280 --> 01:23:58.280 And then I can figure out your thinking. 1781 01:23:58.280 --> 01:24:00.280 And then I can create incentives 1782 01:24:00.280 --> 01:24:02.280 in order to guide 1783 01:24:02.280 --> 01:24:04.280 and control your behavior. 1784 01:24:04.280 --> 01:24:06.280 So in China, 1785 01:24:06.280 --> 01:24:08.280 can they see everything that you do? 1786 01:24:08.280 --> 01:24:10.280 Yes they can. 1787 01:24:10.280 --> 01:24:12.280 Messages you send. 1788 01:24:12.280 --> 01:24:14.280 Everything. 1789 01:24:14.280 --> 01:24:16.280 Everything. 1790 01:24:16.280 --> 01:24:18.280 Everything you do online 1791 01:24:18.280 --> 01:24:20.280 is being recorded 1792 01:24:20.280 --> 01:24:22.280 and is being 1793 01:24:22.280 --> 01:24:24.280 inputted into the database 1794 01:24:24.280 --> 01:24:26.280 to figure out who you are, 1795 01:24:26.280 --> 01:24:28.280 who you want, 1796 01:24:28.280 --> 01:24:30.280 and how to control you. 1797 01:24:30.280 --> 01:24:32.280 And they think this is 1798 01:24:32.280 --> 01:24:34.280 progress by the way. 1799 01:24:34.280 --> 01:24:36.280 This is progress. 1800 01:24:36.280 --> 01:24:38.280 Because I'm making you a better person, right? 1801 01:24:38.280 --> 01:24:40.280 I'm helping you achieve your dream. 1802 01:24:40.280 --> 01:24:42.280 I'm helping you 1803 01:24:42.280 --> 01:24:44.280 lose weight. 1804 01:24:44.280 --> 01:24:46.280 I'm helping you avoid drugs. 1805 01:24:46.280 --> 01:24:48.280 I'm helping you work harder. 1806 01:24:48.280 --> 01:24:50.280 Why don't you be in trouble if you talk 1807 01:24:50.280 --> 01:24:52.280 against this system? 1808 01:24:52.280 --> 01:24:54.280 Well, 1809 01:24:54.280 --> 01:24:56.280 I do not interact 1810 01:24:56.280 --> 01:24:58.280 with the Chinese Internet. 1811 01:24:58.280 --> 01:25:00.280 So everything I do is in English. 1812 01:25:00.280 --> 01:25:02.280 It's meant for consumption 1813 01:25:02.280 --> 01:25:04.280 in the Western world. 1814 01:25:04.280 --> 01:25:06.280 And I don't talk Chinese reporters. 1815 01:25:06.280 --> 01:25:08.280 I don't talk to Chinese social media. 1816 01:25:08.280 --> 01:25:10.280 I have no Chinese media presence. 1817 01:25:10.280 --> 01:25:12.280 And I am not at all 1818 01:25:12.280 --> 01:25:14.280 influential in China. 1819 01:25:14.280 --> 01:25:16.280 And I prefer that way. 1820 01:25:16.280 --> 01:25:18.280 Because if I ever became famous in China, 1821 01:25:18.280 --> 01:25:22.280 then they would obviously want to control 1822 01:25:22.280 --> 01:25:26.280 me in order to better influence other people. 1823 01:25:26.280 --> 01:25:30.280 What's your next prediction? 1824 01:25:30.280 --> 01:25:32.280 Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. 1825 01:25:32.280 --> 01:25:36.280 So you think Israel is going to conquer the Middle East? 1826 01:25:36.280 --> 01:25:40.280 Israel has essentially already conquered the Middle East. 1827 01:25:40.280 --> 01:25:44.280 The only force in their way right now is America. 1828 01:25:44.280 --> 01:25:46.280 So once America leaves the Middle East, 1829 01:25:46.280 --> 01:25:48.280 which I expect to happen, 1830 01:25:48.280 --> 01:25:50.280 then Israel will absorb 1831 01:25:50.280 --> 01:25:52.280 Santa Com, which is the central command, 1832 01:25:52.280 --> 01:25:54.280 the American military bases, 1833 01:25:54.280 --> 01:25:56.280 in the Middle East, 1834 01:25:56.280 --> 01:25:58.280 and they will achieve the greater Israel project. 1835 01:25:58.280 --> 01:26:00.280 There's no other power in the Middle East 1836 01:26:00.280 --> 01:26:04.280 that can withstand the might and power of Israel. 1837 01:26:04.280 --> 01:26:06.280 And do you have a timeline for this? 1838 01:26:06.280 --> 01:26:10.280 The moment America quits this war against Iran, 1839 01:26:10.280 --> 01:26:14.280 the moment that America leaves the Middle East, 1840 01:26:14.280 --> 01:26:16.280 Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. 1841 01:26:16.280 --> 01:26:18.280 And what's really interesting right now 1842 01:26:18.280 --> 01:26:22.280 is that Israel is trying to direct this war out 1843 01:26:22.280 --> 01:26:24.280 for as long as possible. 1844 01:26:24.280 --> 01:26:26.280 Basically, you see this war as a way 1845 01:26:26.280 --> 01:26:28.280 to destroy all its major enemies 1846 01:26:28.280 --> 01:26:32.280 in the Middle East. 1847 01:26:32.280 --> 01:26:34.280 It really has already said this. 1848 01:26:34.280 --> 01:26:38.280 After Iran, Turkey is next. 1849 01:26:38.280 --> 01:26:42.280 This war is already destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC, right? 1850 01:26:42.280 --> 01:26:46.280 So the last opponent is Turkey. 1851 01:26:46.280 --> 01:26:50.280 Once Turkey is brought into this war, 1852 01:26:50.280 --> 01:26:54.280 then Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. 1853 01:26:54.280 --> 01:27:00.280 And the greater Israel project covers all of this region here from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, and Iran. 1854 01:27:00.280 --> 01:27:04.280 So the greater Israel project is like this. 1855 01:27:04.280 --> 01:27:08.280 So it goes from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq. 1856 01:27:08.280 --> 01:27:12.280 And it covers part of Turkey, 1857 01:27:12.280 --> 01:27:14.280 Syria of Lebanon of Jordan, 1858 01:27:14.280 --> 01:27:16.280 and parts of Saudi Arabia, 1859 01:27:16.280 --> 01:27:18.280 which also includes Mecca Medina. 1860 01:27:18.280 --> 01:27:20.280 What is your next prediction? 1861 01:27:20.280 --> 01:27:24.280 NATO and Russia will fight for Dessa. 1862 01:27:24.280 --> 01:27:26.280 A Dessa, what's a Dessa? 1863 01:27:26.280 --> 01:27:30.280 So if you look at the Ukraine front lines, 1864 01:27:30.280 --> 01:27:34.280 right now Russia is preoccupied in trying to control 1865 01:27:34.280 --> 01:27:38.280 the Donbass, which is basically Eastern Ukraine. 1866 01:27:38.280 --> 01:27:42.280 Why Russia is doing this is that Eastern Ukraine 1867 01:27:42.280 --> 01:27:44.280 has historically been part of Russia, 1868 01:27:44.280 --> 01:27:46.280 therefore most people there speak Russian 1869 01:27:46.280 --> 01:27:48.280 or are accidentally Russian. 1870 01:27:48.280 --> 01:27:54.280 The Donbass is also the agricultural and industrial heartland of Ukraine. 1871 01:27:54.280 --> 01:27:58.280 So if Russia were to control Eastern Ukraine, 1872 01:27:58.280 --> 01:28:00.280 doesn't really need Western Ukraine, 1873 01:28:00.280 --> 01:28:04.280 and then Western Ukraine would basically become a rump state. 1874 01:28:04.280 --> 01:28:06.280 It could be useless. 1875 01:28:06.280 --> 01:28:10.280 So this puzzle would be Odessa, which sits on the Black Sea. 1876 01:28:10.280 --> 01:28:16.280 The reason why you want Odessa is that it's the major port. 1877 01:28:16.280 --> 01:28:18.280 And once you control Dessa, 1878 01:28:18.280 --> 01:28:22.280 you basically block off Ukraine from the Black Sea. 1879 01:28:22.280 --> 01:28:24.280 You have complete control over the Black Sea. 1880 01:28:24.280 --> 01:28:26.280 The Black Sea is that the Black Sea? 1881 01:28:26.280 --> 01:28:28.280 This is the Black Sea, and this is Odessa right here. 1882 01:28:28.280 --> 01:28:32.280 So you're saying that Russia will take Odessa? 1883 01:28:32.280 --> 01:28:34.280 That's correct. 1884 01:28:34.280 --> 01:28:38.280 But NATO recognizes that if Odessa falls to the Russians, 1885 01:28:38.280 --> 01:28:40.280 the war is over, 1886 01:28:40.280 --> 01:28:44.280 and Russia will achieve all its major strategic objectives. 1887 01:28:44.280 --> 01:28:46.280 Why is the war over? 1888 01:28:46.280 --> 01:28:50.280 Because Russia doesn't want to continue on after Odessa. 1889 01:28:50.280 --> 01:28:52.280 It doesn't need the rest of Ukraine. 1890 01:28:52.280 --> 01:28:54.280 What does it get from taking Odessa? 1891 01:28:54.280 --> 01:28:56.280 Once it takes Odessa, 1892 01:28:56.280 --> 01:29:02.280 control of one-third of the world's carbohydrates. 1893 01:29:02.280 --> 01:29:06.280 If Russia willed Africa, 1894 01:29:06.280 --> 01:29:08.280 which starved to death? 1895 01:29:08.280 --> 01:29:10.280 The Middle East, which starved? 1896 01:29:10.280 --> 01:29:12.280 Why? 1897 01:29:12.280 --> 01:29:16.280 Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot of grain to these places. 1898 01:29:16.280 --> 01:29:18.280 These places are not food independent. 1899 01:29:18.280 --> 01:29:20.280 They rely on fertilizer. 1900 01:29:20.280 --> 01:29:22.280 They rely on food imports. 1901 01:29:22.280 --> 01:29:26.280 Okay. And Russia is using the Black Sea here to export. 1902 01:29:26.280 --> 01:29:28.280 Exactly. 1903 01:29:28.280 --> 01:29:30.280 What is your next prediction? 1904 01:29:30.280 --> 01:29:32.280 One. 1905 01:29:32.280 --> 01:29:34.280 Please be good. 1906 01:29:34.280 --> 01:29:36.280 Okay. 1907 01:29:36.280 --> 01:29:38.280 I was hoping for an optimistic one, 1908 01:29:38.280 --> 01:29:40.280 but East Asia breaks out into conflict. 1909 01:29:40.280 --> 01:29:42.280 Okay. What do you mean by that? 1910 01:29:42.280 --> 01:29:44.280 Okay. 1911 01:29:44.280 --> 01:29:46.280 So we've talked a lot about the Middle East, 1912 01:29:46.280 --> 01:29:48.280 and we've talked briefly about Europe. 1913 01:29:48.280 --> 01:29:50.280 Okay? 1914 01:29:50.280 --> 01:29:52.280 So now let's go into East Asia. 1915 01:29:52.280 --> 01:29:56.280 And I think there are three major sources of friction 1916 01:29:56.280 --> 01:29:58.280 and conflict in East Asia. 1917 01:29:58.280 --> 01:30:02.280 And these could be potentially major flashpoints. 1918 01:30:02.280 --> 01:30:06.280 The first flashpoint is, of course, over Taiwan. 1919 01:30:06.280 --> 01:30:14.280 Because China believes that Taiwan is part of its territory. 1920 01:30:14.280 --> 01:30:18.280 And so it wants to take over Taiwan. 1921 01:30:18.280 --> 01:30:22.280 The problem with this is that recently, 1922 01:30:22.280 --> 01:30:30.280 Prime Minister Takeshi of Japan has said that Taiwan is core to Japanese strategic interests. 1923 01:30:30.280 --> 01:30:36.280 And what she means by this is that Japan has no resources. 1924 01:30:36.280 --> 01:30:40.280 It's a manufacturing power that depends on resources from overseas. 1925 01:30:40.280 --> 01:30:44.280 If China were to think over Taiwan, 1926 01:30:44.280 --> 01:30:48.280 it can now lock Japan from accessing the Australian Malacca. 1927 01:30:48.280 --> 01:30:52.280 And that is a possibility Japan cannot permit. 1928 01:30:52.280 --> 01:31:02.280 So Japan would fight to ensure that Taiwan and China were never to unify. 1929 01:31:02.280 --> 01:31:04.280 Would they actually? 1930 01:31:04.280 --> 01:31:06.280 Because China is so strong, right? 1931 01:31:06.280 --> 01:31:08.280 Could they just knock Japan straight out? 1932 01:31:08.280 --> 01:31:10.280 Japan has no choice but to fight. 1933 01:31:10.280 --> 01:31:16.280 Because again, if China and Taiwan were to unify peacefully, 1934 01:31:16.280 --> 01:31:22.280 Japan would cut off from the entirety of Southeast Asia. 1935 01:31:22.280 --> 01:31:28.280 And Japan relies on Southeast Asia historically for resources. 1936 01:31:28.280 --> 01:31:30.280 Why would it be cut off from Southeast Asia? 1937 01:31:30.280 --> 01:31:34.280 Going down here through the Philippines. 1938 01:31:34.280 --> 01:31:38.280 There's a lot of resources around the South China Sea. 1939 01:31:38.280 --> 01:31:42.280 Oil, minerals, all that. 1940 01:31:42.280 --> 01:31:48.280 So if China and Taiwan were to unify, 1941 01:31:48.280 --> 01:31:53.280 basically Japan would feel a bit threatened. 1942 01:31:53.280 --> 01:31:56.280 And your prediction is that there will be some kind of conflict in this region? 1943 01:31:56.280 --> 01:31:58.280 Yes, so that's the first flashpoint. 1944 01:31:58.280 --> 01:32:00.280 Taiwan. 1945 01:32:00.280 --> 01:32:02.280 There's another flashpoint, which is Australian Malacca. 1946 01:32:02.280 --> 01:32:05.280 Because again, America wants to control the Australian Malacca, 1947 01:32:05.280 --> 01:32:10.280 but China recognizes that the Australian Malacca is key to its economic survival. 1948 01:32:10.280 --> 01:32:14.280 And so there's a lot of conflict over the Australian Malacca. 1949 01:32:14.280 --> 01:32:16.280 That's flashpoint number two. 1950 01:32:16.280 --> 01:32:19.280 The third flashpoint, which I think with the most surprising, 1951 01:32:19.280 --> 01:32:24.280 but actually with the most pressing, is North Korea. 1952 01:32:24.280 --> 01:32:27.280 So let's just use game theory. 1953 01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:31.280 We are the supreme leader of North Korea. 1954 01:32:31.280 --> 01:32:33.280 It is a dictatorship. 1955 01:32:33.280 --> 01:32:35.280 Everyone worships me. 1956 01:32:35.280 --> 01:32:37.280 It's a core personality. 1957 01:32:37.280 --> 01:32:40.280 But we're poor. 1958 01:32:40.280 --> 01:32:43.280 And the rest of the world is in conflict, right? 1959 01:32:43.280 --> 01:32:45.280 Europe is fighting with Russia. 1960 01:32:45.280 --> 01:32:47.280 The Middle East is in flames. 1961 01:32:47.280 --> 01:32:51.280 America is distracted trying to control the world to the best of its ability. 1962 01:32:51.280 --> 01:32:55.280 Japan and China are fighting over the South China Sea. 1963 01:32:55.280 --> 01:33:01.280 If you're North Korea, now is the best opportunity to create 1964 01:33:01.280 --> 01:33:04.280 as much havoc in the world as possible. 1965 01:33:04.280 --> 01:33:09.280 There's absolutely nothing and they can do to stop you. 1966 01:33:09.280 --> 01:33:14.280 You are the roller in high school that no one pays attention to, 1967 01:33:14.280 --> 01:33:16.280 because all the big boys are finding each other. 1968 01:33:16.280 --> 01:33:19.280 You can come in and dominate the school now. 1969 01:33:19.280 --> 01:33:20.280 Who would they be dominating? 1970 01:33:20.280 --> 01:33:22.280 They could dominate South Korea. 1971 01:33:22.280 --> 01:33:28.280 Because if you just look at a population map of South Korea, 1972 01:33:28.280 --> 01:33:31.280 most of the South Korean population is located in Seoul. 1973 01:33:31.280 --> 01:33:36.280 And Seoul is about 20 minutes artillery from North Korea. 1974 01:33:36.280 --> 01:33:41.280 So in 20 minutes, North Korea could rain artillery onto Seoul. 1975 01:33:41.280 --> 01:33:45.280 And basically a day flat in the higher city. 1976 01:33:45.280 --> 01:33:47.280 Why wouldn't you extort the South Koreans? 1977 01:33:47.280 --> 01:33:49.280 Because the South Koreans are going to shoot back. 1978 01:33:49.280 --> 01:33:50.280 With what? 1979 01:33:50.280 --> 01:33:52.280 Do they not have military? 1980 01:33:52.280 --> 01:33:54.280 The people protected by the Americans right now. 1981 01:33:54.280 --> 01:33:57.280 The Americans are busy transporting artillery and weapon systems, 1982 01:33:57.280 --> 01:34:01.280 including the FAT system, over to the Middle East. 1983 01:34:01.280 --> 01:34:04.280 It's called FAT, T-H-A-A-D. 1984 01:34:04.280 --> 01:34:08.280 It used to be in South Korea to protect against North Korea, 1985 01:34:08.280 --> 01:34:12.280 and now it's over in the Middle East. 1986 01:34:12.280 --> 01:34:15.280 So Americans are catalyzing both South Korean and Japan 1987 01:34:15.280 --> 01:34:20.280 in order to maintain this war in the Middle East. 1988 01:34:20.280 --> 01:34:21.280 Not so time. 1989 01:34:21.280 --> 01:34:22.280 Why not? 1990 01:34:22.280 --> 01:34:23.280 It's free money. 1991 01:34:23.280 --> 01:34:25.280 It's like ticking candy from a baby. 1992 01:34:26.280 --> 01:34:29.280 But South Korea have they're a military now. 1993 01:34:29.280 --> 01:34:33.280 How do you defend against artillery strikes? 1994 01:34:33.280 --> 01:34:34.280 I don't know. 1995 01:34:34.280 --> 01:34:35.280 You don't. 1996 01:34:35.280 --> 01:34:37.280 But they would fire back, right? 1997 01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:39.280 They'd get themselves into a pretty ugly war. 1998 01:34:39.280 --> 01:34:41.280 South Korea have a big military. 1999 01:34:41.280 --> 01:34:43.280 Well, my people were poor. 2000 01:34:43.280 --> 01:34:44.280 They're not afraid to die. 2001 01:34:44.280 --> 01:34:48.280 In fact, I've sent thousands of them to go to Ukraine 2002 01:34:48.280 --> 01:34:53.280 to fight for the Russians, and they fight to the death. 2003 01:34:53.280 --> 01:34:55.280 Things they're poor, and they don't fight to the death. 2004 01:34:55.280 --> 01:34:57.280 If they're allowed to be taken prisoner, 2005 01:34:57.280 --> 01:34:59.280 I'll kill their families back at home. 2006 01:34:59.280 --> 01:35:03.280 South Koreans are rich. 2007 01:35:03.280 --> 01:35:05.280 They are used to democracy. 2008 01:35:05.280 --> 01:35:07.280 They're used to individual rights. 2009 01:35:07.280 --> 01:35:10.280 So if I threaten to blow your city up, 2010 01:35:10.280 --> 01:35:13.280 you're telling me you won't bribe me not to do so? 2011 01:35:13.280 --> 01:35:16.280 Isn't the fastest way it should bribe me 2012 01:35:16.280 --> 01:35:18.280 enough to cause trouble for you? 2013 01:35:18.280 --> 01:35:20.280 Okay, so you think they're going to bribe them? 2014 01:35:20.280 --> 01:35:21.280 Extortion. 2015 01:35:21.280 --> 01:35:22.280 This is extortion. 2016 01:35:22.280 --> 01:35:24.280 I don't need to destroy South Korea. 2017 01:35:24.280 --> 01:35:28.280 All I need to do is threaten the South Koreans, 2018 01:35:28.280 --> 01:35:32.280 and they'll just bribe me not to do anything. 2019 01:35:32.280 --> 01:35:34.280 So what does all of this stuff mean for the average person? 2020 01:35:34.280 --> 01:35:36.280 People are listening right now. 2021 01:35:36.280 --> 01:35:37.280 They're just normal people. 2022 01:35:37.280 --> 01:35:38.280 A lot of them. 2023 01:35:38.280 --> 01:35:39.280 Not all of them. 2024 01:35:39.280 --> 01:35:41.280 But a lot of them are just normal people getting in with their lives, 2025 01:35:41.280 --> 01:35:43.280 and they care about their families, their jobs, their futures. 2026 01:35:43.280 --> 01:35:47.280 What message have you got for them? 2027 01:35:47.280 --> 01:35:51.280 In this new world, we will need leaders. 2028 01:35:52.280 --> 01:36:00.280 We will need average people who are able to bring hope to people around them, 2029 01:36:00.280 --> 01:36:05.280 who are able to tell their neighbors, their friends. 2030 01:36:05.280 --> 01:36:13.280 We have to come together as a community and become a family if we were to survive. 2031 01:36:13.280 --> 01:36:17.280 That's what the world needs in the future. 2032 01:36:17.280 --> 01:36:20.280 It will need entrepreneurial leaders. 2033 01:36:20.280 --> 01:36:22.280 It will need visionaries. 2034 01:36:22.280 --> 01:36:23.280 It will need profits. 2035 01:36:23.280 --> 01:36:29.280 Those who will most thrive are those who make an effort to reach out, 2036 01:36:29.280 --> 01:36:35.280 knock on the door of your neighbors and say, listen, this is a blackout. 2037 01:36:35.280 --> 01:36:38.280 And there's probably no water. 2038 01:36:38.280 --> 01:36:41.280 But don't fear. 2039 01:36:41.280 --> 01:36:44.280 Because if we come together as a community, 2040 01:36:44.280 --> 01:36:46.280 if we go and knock on every door, 2041 01:36:46.280 --> 01:36:48.280 then everyone is apart and building. 2042 01:36:48.280 --> 01:36:49.280 And then we'll be 100 of us. 2043 01:36:49.280 --> 01:36:56.280 And we just sit down and have a meeting and just discuss what's happening. 2044 01:36:56.280 --> 01:36:59.280 One of us will come up with a solution. 2045 01:36:59.280 --> 01:37:05.280 And one of us will help everyone else figure out how to find water 2046 01:37:05.280 --> 01:37:08.280 or how to build a better society. 2047 01:37:08.280 --> 01:37:11.280 And we know this because historically, this has always been true. 2048 01:37:11.280 --> 01:37:14.280 The first collapse, infrastructure collapses. 2049 01:37:14.280 --> 01:37:17.280 Which empire do you think is collapsing the United States empire? 2050 01:37:17.280 --> 01:37:20.280 The United States empire is collapsing, yes. 2051 01:37:20.280 --> 01:37:24.280 And who is taking its place? 2052 01:37:24.280 --> 01:37:26.280 No one can take the place of the working empire. 2053 01:37:26.280 --> 01:37:28.280 So we live in a unipolar moment. 2054 01:37:28.280 --> 01:37:34.280 And the closest historical analogy to today is something called the branch age collapse. 2055 01:37:34.280 --> 01:37:36.280 The bronze age collapse. 2056 01:37:36.280 --> 01:37:40.280 And this happened about over 3,000 years ago. 2057 01:37:40.280 --> 01:37:47.280 And what happened during the branch age collapse is that you have these established kingdoms 2058 01:37:47.280 --> 01:37:51.280 throughout the Middle East and Europe. 2059 01:37:51.280 --> 01:37:53.280 You had mycenaean Greece. 2060 01:37:53.280 --> 01:37:57.280 You had the high-tight empire in Anatolia, which is present day Turkey. 2061 01:37:57.280 --> 01:38:02.280 You had the Mesopotamian Empire, you had the Egyptians. 2062 01:38:02.280 --> 01:38:05.280 And one by one, they collapse. 2063 01:38:05.280 --> 01:38:10.280 The reason why was that a perfect storm of calamities came at the same time. 2064 01:38:10.280 --> 01:38:11.280 There were earthquakes. 2065 01:38:11.280 --> 01:38:12.280 There were famines. 2066 01:38:12.280 --> 01:38:13.280 There was a climate crisis. 2067 01:38:13.280 --> 01:38:14.280 There were wars. 2068 01:38:14.280 --> 01:38:15.280 There were civil wars. 2069 01:38:15.280 --> 01:38:16.280 There were revolutions. 2070 01:38:16.280 --> 01:38:19.280 And so you have this massive surge of refugees called the sea peoples, 2071 01:38:19.280 --> 01:38:26.280 flowing from north and west Europe and sweeping the entire, 2072 01:38:26.280 --> 01:38:30.280 sweeping food to the entire Middle East. 2073 01:38:30.280 --> 01:38:32.280 And the reason why is they were hungry. 2074 01:38:32.280 --> 01:38:34.280 They didn't have any food to eat. 2075 01:38:34.280 --> 01:38:38.280 So they organized into, you know, these large pirate armies 2076 01:38:38.280 --> 01:38:42.280 and they overwhelmed entire civilizations. 2077 01:38:42.280 --> 01:38:50.280 And so we will see a version of the dynamic play out in the world where in the future, 2078 01:38:50.280 --> 01:38:54.280 our concern won't be wars. 2079 01:38:54.280 --> 01:38:59.280 Our concern will be these millions of refugees who want to flood into our societies 2080 01:39:00.280 --> 01:39:02.280 because they're hungry. 2081 01:39:02.280 --> 01:39:05.280 And they're going to come from Africa. 2082 01:39:05.280 --> 01:39:08.280 They're going to come from the Middle East. 2083 01:39:08.280 --> 01:39:12.280 They'll probably come from South America as well. 2084 01:39:12.280 --> 01:39:14.280 So I saw your show with Steve King, by the way. 2085 01:39:14.280 --> 01:39:15.280 Steve King. 2086 01:39:15.280 --> 01:39:16.280 Yeah. 2087 01:39:16.280 --> 01:39:17.280 It was a great show, right? 2088 01:39:17.280 --> 01:39:22.280 And he talked about this where, look, the world depends on fertilizer. 2089 01:39:22.280 --> 01:39:24.280 And there's eight people in the world. 2090 01:39:24.280 --> 01:39:29.280 And while fertilizers, the world can only sustain at most to bump people. 2091 01:39:29.280 --> 01:39:33.280 Well, what are the six billion people going to do? 2092 01:39:33.280 --> 01:39:34.280 It just started to have? 2093 01:39:34.280 --> 01:39:36.280 No, they're going to migrate. 2094 01:39:36.280 --> 01:39:38.280 And they're going to want food. 2095 01:39:38.280 --> 01:39:42.280 And this is going to create a huge global crisis throughout the world. 2096 01:39:42.280 --> 01:39:46.280 I mean, one might argue that with the rise of things like AI and robotics, 2097 01:39:46.280 --> 01:39:49.280 the cost of production is going to drop and there's going to be more, 2098 01:39:49.280 --> 01:39:53.280 you know, Elon talks about the age of abundance and all these kinds of things. 2099 01:39:53.280 --> 01:39:56.280 But you have to go food out of the ground. 2100 01:39:56.280 --> 01:40:02.280 And you are using fertilizer to maximize the landscape capacity to go food. 2101 01:40:02.280 --> 01:40:03.280 So you don't have fertilizer. 2102 01:40:03.280 --> 01:40:05.280 You don't have as many robots as you want. 2103 01:40:05.280 --> 01:40:06.280 They don't have to eat food. 2104 01:40:06.280 --> 01:40:08.280 We have to eat food. 2105 01:40:08.280 --> 01:40:11.280 So what is your, you talked about hopefulness. 2106 01:40:11.280 --> 01:40:12.280 Right. 2107 01:40:12.280 --> 01:40:13.280 Are you hopeful? 2108 01:40:13.280 --> 01:40:14.280 I'm very helpful. 2109 01:40:14.280 --> 01:40:18.280 What are you hopeful for? 2110 01:40:18.280 --> 01:40:23.280 I believe that humans are first and foremost creative and resilient. 2111 01:40:23.280 --> 01:40:29.280 And our abilities have become dormant because we've become too complacent. 2112 01:40:29.280 --> 01:40:36.280 Western lifestyle have made us extremely lazy and fat. 2113 01:40:36.280 --> 01:40:40.280 But the moment we're presented with a crisis, 2114 01:40:40.280 --> 01:40:44.280 the moment that we find our families in danger, 2115 01:40:44.280 --> 01:40:47.280 we're able to come together as a people 2116 01:40:47.280 --> 01:40:50.280 and come up with all this tremendous imagination 2117 01:40:50.280 --> 01:40:53.280 in order to make a better society. 2118 01:40:53.280 --> 01:40:56.280 Make sure you keep what I'm about to say to yourself. 2119 01:40:56.280 --> 01:41:00.280 I'm inviting 10,000 of you to come even deeper into the direvacier. 2120 01:41:00.280 --> 01:41:02.280 Welcome to my inner circle. 2121 01:41:02.280 --> 01:41:05.280 This is a brand new private community that I'm launching to

recording the conversation. 2124 01:41:12.280 --> 01:41:14.280 We have clips we've never released. 2125 01:41:14.280 --> 01:41:17.280 We have behind the scenes conversations with the guests 2126 01:41:17.280 --> 01:41:20.280 and also the episodes that we've never, ever released. 2127 01:41:20.280 --> 01:41:22.280 And so much more. 2128 01:41:22.280 --> 01:41:24.280 In the circle you'll have direct access to me, 2129 01:41:24.280 --> 01:41:26.280 you can tell us what you want this show to be, 2130 01:41:26.280 --> 01:41:27.280 who you want us to interview, 2131 01:41:27.280 --> 01:41:30.280 and the types of conversations you would love us to have. 2132 01:41:30.280 --> 01:41:34.280 But remember for now, we're only inviting the first 10,000 people 2133 01:41:34.280 --> 01:41:36.280 that joined before it closes. 2134 01:41:36.280 --> 01:41:38.280 So if you want to join our private close community, 2135 01:41:38.280 --> 01:41:43.280 head to the link in the description below or go to doccircle.com. 2136 01:41:43.280 --> 01:41:46.280 I will speak to you there. 2137 01:41:46.280 --> 01:41:49.280 Professor, what's the most important thing we haven't talked about 2138 01:41:49.280 --> 01:41:52.280 that we should have talked about? 2139 01:41:52.280 --> 01:41:54.280 So let's talk about the nature of reality. 2140 01:41:54.280 --> 01:41:57.280 To explain the nature of reality, 2141 01:41:57.280 --> 01:42:01.280 I'm going to explain Plato's algorithm cave, 2142 01:42:01.280 --> 01:42:04.280 which he talked about in his book, The Republic. 2143 01:42:04.280 --> 01:42:05.280 Right, exactly. 2144 01:42:05.280 --> 01:42:06.280 This book. 2145 01:42:06.280 --> 01:42:07.280 Yes, The Republic. 2146 01:42:07.280 --> 01:42:08.280 Okay. 2147 01:42:08.280 --> 01:42:10.280 One of the masterpieces of quick socialization, 2148 01:42:10.280 --> 01:42:15.280 all right, so this is how Plato explains the nature of reality. 2149 01:42:15.280 --> 01:42:19.280 And so he's a metaphor called the cave. 2150 01:42:19.280 --> 01:42:25.280 So I want you to imagine a dark cavern that is huge. 2151 01:42:25.280 --> 01:42:27.280 And in this cavern, 2152 01:42:27.280 --> 01:42:34.280 there are hundreds of people lying up together. 2153 01:42:34.280 --> 01:42:37.280 And they're also in a rope, 2154 01:42:37.280 --> 01:42:40.280 and this goes on for, you know, miles and miles, 2155 01:42:40.280 --> 01:42:43.280 just thousands of people. 2156 01:42:43.280 --> 01:42:47.280 And they are chained to the ground. 2157 01:42:47.280 --> 01:42:48.280 The next are shackled. 2158 01:42:48.280 --> 01:42:50.280 So they can actually move. 2159 01:42:50.280 --> 01:42:54.280 And all they can do is stare in front of them at a giant wall. 2160 01:42:54.280 --> 01:42:57.280 That's empty. 2161 01:42:57.280 --> 01:42:58.280 Okay. 2162 01:42:58.280 --> 01:43:01.280 Now, behind these people, 2163 01:43:01.280 --> 01:43:05.280 and again, they can't see behind them, right? 2164 01:43:05.280 --> 01:43:07.280 They break fire. 2165 01:43:07.280 --> 01:43:10.280 Along the alongside the fire are people. 2166 01:43:10.280 --> 01:43:11.280 Okay. 2167 01:43:11.280 --> 01:43:12.280 We don't know who they are. 2168 01:43:12.280 --> 01:43:14.280 They'll never explain what these people are. 2169 01:43:14.280 --> 01:43:15.280 They take puppets. 2170 01:43:15.280 --> 01:43:17.280 And they project these puppets. 2171 01:43:17.280 --> 01:43:24.280 All the fire on to the wall. 2172 01:43:24.280 --> 01:43:30.280 And when people see the shadows, 2173 01:43:30.280 --> 01:43:34.280 they think that this is reality. 2174 01:43:34.280 --> 01:43:38.280 And as such, they begin to create narratives 2175 01:43:38.280 --> 01:43:40.280 to explain this reality. 2176 01:43:40.280 --> 01:43:41.280 They create language. 2177 01:43:41.280 --> 01:43:43.280 They give shadows names. 2178 01:43:43.280 --> 01:43:45.280 They explain what these shadows come from. 2179 01:43:45.280 --> 01:43:46.280 They create religion. 2180 01:43:46.280 --> 01:43:50.280 Then these people decide to specialize. 2181 01:43:50.280 --> 01:43:52.280 So some people who are priests, 2182 01:43:52.280 --> 01:43:54.280 who explain this new religion. 2183 01:43:54.280 --> 01:43:59.280 There are some people who are poets that talk about the beauty of these shadows. 2184 01:43:59.280 --> 01:44:03.280 And then you have teachers who teach about these shadows 2185 01:44:03.280 --> 01:44:06.280 to children. 2186 01:44:06.280 --> 01:44:08.280 And then over time, 2187 01:44:08.280 --> 01:44:14.280 what happens is that these people fall in love 2188 01:44:14.280 --> 01:44:16.280 with this reality, 2189 01:44:16.280 --> 01:44:19.280 so that they are addicted to it. 2190 01:44:19.280 --> 01:44:21.280 So if anyone comes on and says, 2191 01:44:21.280 --> 01:44:24.280 hey guys, why don't you look behind you 2192 01:44:24.280 --> 01:44:27.280 and see it's all just a forest. 2193 01:44:27.280 --> 01:44:32.280 These people will be so angry that they kill this person. 2194 01:44:32.280 --> 01:44:35.280 So I'm not sure if you've ever watched a Korean drama. 2195 01:44:35.280 --> 01:44:37.280 Have you watched a Korean TV drama? 2196 01:44:37.280 --> 01:44:38.280 Not really, no. 2197 01:44:38.280 --> 01:44:40.280 So unfortunately, I have. 2198 01:44:40.280 --> 01:44:44.280 And these people are going for like thousands of hours. 2199 01:44:44.280 --> 01:44:46.280 And for the first 10 hours, 2200 01:44:46.280 --> 01:44:50.280 you're disgusted by the plot. 2201 01:44:50.280 --> 01:44:52.280 Because it makes no sense. 2202 01:44:52.280 --> 01:44:54.280 But by the 20th hour, 2203 01:44:54.280 --> 01:44:57.280 you can't stop watching it. 2204 01:44:57.280 --> 01:44:59.280 The same situation here where 2205 01:44:59.280 --> 01:45:02.280 it's a silly television drama. 2206 01:45:02.280 --> 01:45:03.280 It's all fake. 2207 01:45:03.280 --> 01:45:05.280 But once people watch too much of it, 2208 01:45:05.280 --> 01:45:09.280 they want it to be true. 2209 01:45:09.280 --> 01:45:12.280 And that's the nature of reality that we live in. 2210 01:45:12.280 --> 01:45:17.280 So some things to remember is that what creates this reality 2211 01:45:17.280 --> 01:45:21.280 are not the people in charge. 2212 01:45:21.280 --> 01:45:25.280 What creates this reality is our imagination. 2213 01:45:26.280 --> 01:45:30.280 So the first thing to appreciate is that everything 2214 01:45:30.280 --> 01:45:32.280 is a hallucination. 2215 01:45:32.280 --> 01:45:35.280 And this is something that North scientists have confirmed. 2216 01:45:35.280 --> 01:45:37.280 So what we're going to do is we're going to take 2217 01:45:37.280 --> 01:45:39.280 this out of the cave, the framework, 2218 01:45:39.280 --> 01:45:41.280 and then apply it to our reality 2219 01:45:41.280 --> 01:45:43.280 to understand how it's created. 2220 01:45:43.280 --> 01:45:46.280 So in the first layer, 2221 01:45:46.280 --> 01:45:49.280 you need a power, a force, 2222 01:45:49.280 --> 01:45:53.280 to put people in change. 2223 01:45:54.280 --> 01:45:56.280 And this is what we call the military 2224 01:45:56.280 --> 01:45:58.280 industrial complex of America, 2225 01:45:58.280 --> 01:46:00.280 as well as the empire. 2226 01:46:00.280 --> 01:46:02.280 So going back to this example, 2227 01:46:02.280 --> 01:46:05.280 it's the layer that puts the people into change. 2228 01:46:05.280 --> 01:46:08.280 But now the second step is you need people 2229 01:46:08.280 --> 01:46:10.280 to create the reality, 2230 01:46:10.280 --> 01:46:11.280 to direct people's attention, 2231 01:46:11.280 --> 01:46:13.280 to create the game. 2232 01:46:13.280 --> 01:46:16.280 And these people are the financial elite, 2233 01:46:16.280 --> 01:46:18.280 the bank of inertial settlements, 2234 01:46:18.280 --> 01:46:20.280 based in Basel. 2235 01:46:20.280 --> 01:46:22.280 So what do they do? 2236 01:46:22.280 --> 01:46:25.280 These people are the ones who set the exchange currency rates. 2237 01:46:25.280 --> 01:46:31.280 And they also allow for seamless financial transactions, 2238 01:46:31.280 --> 01:46:33.280 the Swift system, basically. 2239 01:46:33.280 --> 01:46:36.280 Then Wall Street and the state of London, 2240 01:46:36.280 --> 01:46:39.280 were the financiers. 2241 01:46:39.280 --> 01:46:41.280 And then you have the Federal Reserve, 2242 01:46:41.280 --> 01:46:42.280 Federal Reserve System, 2243 01:46:42.280 --> 01:46:46.280 because the Federal Reserve are the people who print money. 2244 01:46:46.280 --> 01:46:48.280 Okay. 2245 01:46:48.280 --> 01:46:51.280 Now, once you create the rules of the game, 2246 01:46:51.280 --> 01:46:53.280 you need to create the game itself, 2247 01:46:53.280 --> 01:46:55.280 which is the global economy. 2248 01:46:55.280 --> 01:46:57.280 Right? 2249 01:46:57.280 --> 01:46:59.280 Global economy. 2250 01:46:59.280 --> 01:47:02.280 And obviously this is a pretty vast system 2251 01:47:02.280 --> 01:47:06.280 that encompasses everything, okay? 2252 01:47:06.280 --> 01:47:07.280 Now you have the extent of people 2253 01:47:07.280 --> 01:47:09.280 how the global economy works. 2254 01:47:09.280 --> 01:47:10.280 You cannot tell people, 2255 01:47:10.280 --> 01:47:11.280 oh really, 2256 01:47:11.280 --> 01:47:13.280 there are these secret people, 2257 01:47:13.280 --> 01:47:14.280 working on the scenes, 2258 01:47:14.280 --> 01:47:17.280 that are projecting shadows onto a wall. 2259 01:47:17.280 --> 01:47:20.280 So what you do is you create multilateral organizations 2260 01:47:20.280 --> 01:47:24.280 that pretend to control the global economy. 2261 01:47:24.280 --> 01:47:26.280 And they are the wall bank. 2262 01:47:26.280 --> 01:47:28.280 They are nations. 2263 01:47:28.280 --> 01:47:30.280 You make people believe that 2264 01:47:30.280 --> 01:47:37.280 this is all being controlled impartially for our benefit. 2265 01:47:37.280 --> 01:47:42.280 Now you have to convince people that this system is legitimate, 2266 01:47:42.280 --> 01:47:45.280 that when you're actually seeing the shadows on the wall, 2267 01:47:45.280 --> 01:47:46.280 they're real. 2268 01:47:46.280 --> 01:47:49.280 And that's why you need the media. 2269 01:47:49.280 --> 01:47:52.280 That's why you need cultures, 2270 01:47:52.280 --> 01:47:54.280 such as Hollywood, movies, basically. 2271 01:47:54.280 --> 01:47:58.280 And you need education, school system, okay? 2272 01:47:58.280 --> 01:48:01.280 These are the people who are all prisoners, 2273 01:48:01.280 --> 01:48:03.280 who have become leaders of the prisoners, 2274 01:48:03.280 --> 01:48:08.280 and who are helping understand the shadows on the wall. 2275 01:48:08.280 --> 01:48:09.280 So am I in the media? 2276 01:48:09.280 --> 01:48:10.280 Yes you are. 2277 01:48:10.280 --> 01:48:11.280 Am I? 2278 01:48:11.280 --> 01:48:12.280 Yes. 2279 01:48:12.280 --> 01:48:13.280 So what am I doing? 2280 01:48:13.280 --> 01:48:15.280 Am I one of the people in the fire controlling the narrative? 2281 01:48:15.280 --> 01:48:16.280 Is that what? 2282 01:48:16.280 --> 01:48:17.280 Yes. 2283 01:48:17.280 --> 01:48:18.280 Yes. 2284 01:48:18.280 --> 01:48:20.280 But I'm not owned by anybody. 2285 01:48:20.280 --> 01:48:21.280 That's what you think. 2286 01:48:21.280 --> 01:48:22.280 Oh really? 2287 01:48:22.280 --> 01:48:23.280 Yes. 2288 01:48:23.280 --> 01:48:24.280 Who am I owned by? 2289 01:48:24.280 --> 01:48:28.280 Ultimately it's a people who control a fire that are in charge. 2290 01:48:28.280 --> 01:48:29.280 Right? 2291 01:48:29.280 --> 01:48:31.280 So ultimately it's these people, the second layer, 2292 01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:34.280 the game masters, the financial lead that control everything. 2293 01:48:34.280 --> 01:48:37.280 And the financial elite again are like the world bank, he said. 2294 01:48:37.280 --> 01:48:38.280 No, no. 2295 01:48:38.280 --> 01:48:41.280 The financial elite are these part bankers. 2296 01:48:41.280 --> 01:48:44.280 Okay, so the private bank is controlling me, 2297 01:48:44.280 --> 01:48:46.280 because you said I was in the media. 2298 01:48:46.280 --> 01:48:47.280 Do you want to make money? 2299 01:48:47.280 --> 01:48:48.280 Yeah. 2300 01:48:48.280 --> 01:48:49.280 Then they're controlling you. 2301 01:48:49.280 --> 01:48:50.280 Okay. 2302 01:48:50.280 --> 01:48:51.280 Right. 2303 01:48:51.280 --> 01:48:52.280 How are they controlling me? 2304 01:48:52.280 --> 01:48:54.280 Because they control the Christian money. 2305 01:48:54.280 --> 01:49:00.280 And so now that you have the media, the schools, 2306 01:49:00.280 --> 01:49:02.280 and the cultural systems, 2307 01:49:02.280 --> 01:49:05.280 helping people understand the shadows on the wall, 2308 01:49:05.280 --> 01:49:09.280 these shadows now become internalized. 2309 01:49:09.280 --> 01:49:13.280 And they dictate the values and norms of people, 2310 01:49:13.280 --> 01:49:16.280 what they believe to be good and bad. 2311 01:49:16.280 --> 01:49:18.280 They dictate habits and customs, 2312 01:49:18.280 --> 01:49:20.280 how you live your life. 2313 01:49:20.280 --> 01:49:22.280 And they dictate the legal system, 2314 01:49:22.280 --> 01:49:24.280 who's punished for what? 2315 01:49:24.280 --> 01:49:25.280 Okay? 2316 01:49:25.280 --> 01:49:27.280 And this becomes the top edifice. 2317 01:49:27.280 --> 01:49:30.280 And what's amazing about the system 2318 01:49:30.280 --> 01:49:33.280 is that in our minds, okay? 2319 01:49:33.280 --> 01:49:36.280 In our minds, we believe that the system 2320 01:49:36.280 --> 01:49:39.280 is, first of all, the complete opposite, 2321 01:49:39.280 --> 01:49:43.280 where the foundation is actually the laws, 2322 01:49:43.280 --> 01:49:46.280 the habits, and the values. 2323 01:49:46.280 --> 01:49:48.280 When in fact, in reality, 2324 01:49:48.280 --> 01:49:50.280 these are just figments of our imagination. 2325 01:49:50.280 --> 01:49:51.280 Okay? 2326 01:49:51.280 --> 01:49:52.280 That's point one. 2327 01:49:52.280 --> 01:49:57.280 Point two is that this is a very, very delicate structure. 2328 01:49:57.280 --> 01:49:59.280 So if anyone doesn't cooperate, okay? 2329 01:49:59.280 --> 01:50:02.280 Then this is this edifice collapses. 2330 01:50:02.280 --> 01:50:04.280 It means it's a very, very delicate system. 2331 01:50:04.280 --> 01:50:06.280 And the third thing, and this is most important, 2332 01:50:06.280 --> 01:50:08.280 to understand the world that we live in, 2333 01:50:08.280 --> 01:50:10.280 as this system becomes much more wobbly, 2334 01:50:10.280 --> 01:50:13.280 meaning that young people don't really believe 2335 01:50:13.280 --> 01:50:15.280 in the shadows anymore. 2336 01:50:15.280 --> 01:50:16.280 Young people grow up and say, 2337 01:50:16.280 --> 01:50:18.280 hmm, are these shadows really real? 2338 01:50:18.280 --> 01:50:20.280 They don't feel real to me. 2339 01:50:20.280 --> 01:50:24.280 The system needs to become much more authoritarian. 2340 01:50:24.280 --> 01:50:27.280 It needs to force people to believe 2341 01:50:27.280 --> 01:50:29.280 what they refuse to believe. 2342 01:50:29.280 --> 01:50:33.280 Because everyone in the system is incentivized 2343 01:50:33.280 --> 01:50:36.280 to ensure this edifice is stable. 2344 01:50:36.280 --> 01:50:38.280 Do you think this is somewhat linked to what's going on 2345 01:50:38.280 --> 01:50:40.280 with independent media? 2346 01:50:40.280 --> 01:50:41.280 Exactly. 2347 01:50:41.280 --> 01:50:43.280 Because independent media are asking a lot of questions about 2348 01:50:43.280 --> 01:50:45.280 the way society functions. 2349 01:50:45.280 --> 01:50:46.280 Exactly. 2350 01:50:46.280 --> 01:50:48.280 And that's why we're seeing governments 2351 01:50:48.280 --> 01:50:51.280 becoming very worried about independent media. 2352 01:50:51.280 --> 01:50:54.280 Because if you have people on the population saying 2353 01:50:54.280 --> 01:50:58.280 these shadows are fake, this creates a ripple effect. 2354 01:50:58.280 --> 01:51:02.280 It causes people to start questioning these shadows on the wall. 2355 01:51:02.280 --> 01:51:03.280 They don't have that. 2356 01:51:03.280 --> 01:51:06.280 So that's why it's important to have censorship. 2357 01:51:06.280 --> 01:51:08.280 That's why it's important to de-platform people. 2358 01:51:08.280 --> 01:51:10.280 That's why you have walk politics, DEI. 2359 01:51:10.280 --> 01:51:13.280 This is an enforcement mechanism. 2360 01:51:13.280 --> 01:51:15.280 Yeah, I mean, it is pretty hard. 2361 01:51:15.280 --> 01:51:18.280 It's not easy being an independent podcaster 2362 01:51:18.280 --> 01:51:20.280 if you have a big platform. 2363 01:51:20.280 --> 01:51:22.280 Because you're not always the most loved 2364 01:51:22.280 --> 01:51:24.280 by the mainstream media. 2365 01:51:24.280 --> 01:51:26.280 And they'll figure out how to eventually... 2366 01:51:26.280 --> 01:51:28.280 But I think that's very human, actually. 2367 01:51:28.280 --> 01:51:31.280 I think the incentives are quite understandable 2368 01:51:31.280 --> 01:51:33.280 from a human perspective. 2369 01:51:33.280 --> 01:51:34.280 Look, if you look at the system, 2370 01:51:34.280 --> 01:51:36.280 no one's really in charge, 2371 01:51:36.280 --> 01:51:38.280 and no one's a villain. 2372 01:51:38.280 --> 01:51:40.280 They just grow up in the system... 2373 01:51:40.280 --> 01:51:42.280 And everyone's protecting that incentive. 2374 01:51:42.280 --> 01:51:43.280 Exactly. 2375 01:51:43.280 --> 01:51:44.280 That's kind of what I mean. 2376 01:51:44.280 --> 01:51:46.280 I'm like, yeah, human nature is to protect ones incentives. 2377 01:51:46.280 --> 01:51:49.280 And, you know, the media didn't like Mark Zuckerberg 2378 01:51:49.280 --> 01:51:51.280 and Facebook because 80% of... 2379 01:51:51.280 --> 01:51:53.280 78% of ad revenue went to Google and Facebook. 2380 01:51:53.280 --> 01:51:55.280 So they had a bit of a wall. 2381 01:51:55.280 --> 01:51:56.280 So I kind of get it. 2382 01:51:56.280 --> 01:51:58.280 People are trying to protect what's theirs. 2383 01:51:58.280 --> 01:52:00.280 And disruption causes people to... 2384 01:52:00.280 --> 01:52:03.280 I guess panic a little bit, but makes sense. 2385 01:52:03.280 --> 01:52:05.280 But the problem is 2386 01:52:05.280 --> 01:52:08.280 that over time, 2387 01:52:08.280 --> 01:52:10.280 more and more young people are going to grow up and say, 2388 01:52:10.280 --> 01:52:12.280 I don't see shadows. 2389 01:52:12.280 --> 01:52:15.280 I'm pretty sure we're being lied to. 2390 01:52:15.280 --> 01:52:17.280 In which case, 2391 01:52:17.280 --> 01:52:20.280 this person has an opportunity to overthrow the system 2392 01:52:20.280 --> 01:52:23.280 and create a new system. 2393 01:52:23.280 --> 01:52:27.280 And this is why AI is important. 2394 01:52:28.280 --> 01:52:30.280 But we currently believe this one. 2395 01:52:30.280 --> 01:52:31.280 We currently believe in this structure. 2396 01:52:31.280 --> 01:52:32.280 It's almost... 2397 01:52:32.280 --> 01:52:33.280 It's really difficult, I think, 2398 01:52:33.280 --> 01:52:34.280 for the average person listening now 2399 01:52:34.280 --> 01:52:36.280 to accept the fact that they have believed 2400 01:52:36.280 --> 01:52:40.280 a bunch of fundamental ideas and stories 2401 01:52:40.280 --> 01:52:42.280 that everything they care about is sad upon. 2402 01:52:42.280 --> 01:52:43.280 But I mean, you only... 2403 01:52:43.280 --> 01:52:44.280 If you've read the book Sapiens, 2404 01:52:44.280 --> 01:52:46.280 and understood that humans got here 2405 01:52:46.280 --> 01:52:48.280 because we've had a remarkable ability to believe 2406 01:52:48.280 --> 01:52:50.280 in stories that maybe the orangutan 2407 01:52:50.280 --> 01:52:51.280 could not believe. 2408 01:52:51.280 --> 01:52:52.280 It couldn't believe in money 2409 01:52:52.280 --> 01:52:54.280 and governments and religions 2410 01:52:54.280 --> 01:52:55.280 and all these kinds of things. 2411 01:52:55.280 --> 01:52:57.280 It makes perfect sense that, yeah, 2412 01:52:57.280 --> 01:52:59.280 there's really foundational stories 2413 01:52:59.280 --> 01:53:00.280 what you are accepting. 2414 01:53:00.280 --> 01:53:02.280 And that's what's brought us here today. 2415 01:53:02.280 --> 01:53:03.280 That's what keeps me from running out on the street 2416 01:53:03.280 --> 01:53:04.280 without our clothes on 2417 01:53:04.280 --> 01:53:06.280 or doing other list activities 2418 01:53:06.280 --> 01:53:09.280 is I'm held in place by set of stories 2419 01:53:09.280 --> 01:53:11.280 that I've accepted. 2420 01:53:11.280 --> 01:53:13.280 And they are stacked one upon the other 2421 01:53:13.280 --> 01:53:15.280 to make me believe that everything I'm seeing 2422 01:53:15.280 --> 01:53:18.280 and accepting is valid. 2423 01:53:18.280 --> 01:53:20.280 But, you know, I guess the question becomes, 2424 01:53:20.280 --> 01:53:22.280 am I okay with this reality? 2425 01:53:23.280 --> 01:53:25.280 And what's something else from creating our own reality 2426 01:53:25.280 --> 01:53:27.280 that benefits everyone? 2427 01:53:27.280 --> 01:53:28.280 Is that possible? 2428 01:53:28.280 --> 01:53:31.280 Well, in theory, it's possible. 2429 01:53:31.280 --> 01:53:32.280 But as you point out, 2430 01:53:32.280 --> 01:53:36.280 there's certain people who are happy with the system 2431 01:53:36.280 --> 01:53:38.280 and want to maintain the system. 2432 01:53:38.280 --> 01:53:41.280 And that's why we're going to wars around the world 2433 01:53:41.280 --> 01:53:43.280 because it's not just a war 2434 01:53:43.280 --> 01:53:45.280 between different nation states. 2435 01:53:45.280 --> 01:53:49.280 It's also a war for the fundamental nature of reality. 2436 01:53:49.280 --> 01:53:54.280 You have the bankers versus the tech roles, right? 2437 01:53:54.280 --> 01:53:57.280 That's what we're seeing in the world right now. 2438 01:53:57.280 --> 01:53:59.280 Where, for the longest time, 2439 01:53:59.280 --> 01:54:01.280 Wall Street has controlled America, 2440 01:54:01.280 --> 01:54:03.280 but now, with the Trump revolution, 2441 01:54:03.280 --> 01:54:05.280 you have volunteer. 2442 01:54:05.280 --> 01:54:09.280 You have people like Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, 2443 01:54:09.280 --> 01:54:12.280 Senator Almond, who want to create opposition stargate, 2444 01:54:12.280 --> 01:54:15.280 which gives them complete control 2445 01:54:15.280 --> 01:54:18.280 over people's imagination. 2446 01:54:18.280 --> 01:54:20.280 You can knock it over now. 2447 01:54:20.280 --> 01:54:22.280 Okay. 2448 01:54:22.280 --> 01:54:25.280 And that thing will come down eventually 2449 01:54:25.280 --> 01:54:31.280 because that is just the fundamental fact of human history. 2450 01:54:31.280 --> 01:54:32.280 Everything. 2451 01:54:32.280 --> 01:54:34.280 No matter how stable it seems in the beginning, 2452 01:54:34.280 --> 01:54:36.280 it all comes crashing down eventually. 2453 01:54:36.280 --> 01:54:37.280 Eventually. 2454 01:54:37.280 --> 01:54:38.280 Eventually. 2455 01:54:38.280 --> 01:54:39.280 Cyclically. 2456 01:54:39.280 --> 01:54:42.280 Yes. 2457 01:54:42.280 --> 01:54:45.280 Ray Dalio talks about the cycles through history 2458 01:54:45.280 --> 01:54:48.280 and how predictable they are and how frequent they are. 2459 01:54:48.280 --> 01:54:52.280 Is there a frequency to the rise in full of these, 2460 01:54:52.280 --> 01:54:55.280 I guess, perceived realities or empires as he calls it? 2461 01:54:55.280 --> 01:54:56.280 Yeah. 2462 01:54:56.280 --> 01:54:59.280 So they say empires last around 20 years. 2463 01:54:59.280 --> 01:55:03.280 And so we are now in the top highlight of the American Empire. 2464 01:55:03.280 --> 01:55:06.280 And what we know is that when empires decline, 2465 01:55:06.280 --> 01:55:09.280 it's always for the same reasons. 2466 01:55:09.280 --> 01:55:14.280 And it's always because of too much debt, 2467 01:55:14.280 --> 01:55:17.280 too much corruption, too much inequality. 2468 01:55:17.280 --> 01:55:20.280 And we're seeing that in America today. 2469 01:55:20.280 --> 01:55:23.280 And the thing that we know is you can't actually stop 2470 01:55:23.280 --> 01:55:25.280 the decline of empires. 2471 01:55:25.280 --> 01:55:29.280 So also a Spangler, who is a German theoretician, 2472 01:55:29.280 --> 01:55:32.280 he argues that we are human beings. 2473 01:55:32.280 --> 01:55:36.280 And we have natural life cycles because we're organisms. 2474 01:55:36.280 --> 01:55:38.280 Well, societies are the same way. 2475 01:55:38.280 --> 01:55:43.280 Where empires they will be born, they'll rise, they'll die. 2476 01:55:44.280 --> 01:55:47.280 And it's a good thing because that's what allows 2477 01:55:47.280 --> 01:55:49.280 for constant human innovation. 2478 01:55:49.280 --> 01:55:51.280 Do you think that will happen in my lifetime? 2479 01:55:51.280 --> 01:55:53.280 I'm 30 years old, 33 years old. 2480 01:55:53.280 --> 01:55:56.280 It may happen in everyone's lifetime. 2481 01:55:56.280 --> 01:55:57.280 It may happen in the next five to 10 years. 2482 01:55:57.280 --> 01:55:59.280 We are seeing. 2483 01:55:59.280 --> 01:56:01.280 Do you think that's going to happen in the next five to 10 years? 2484 01:56:01.280 --> 01:56:04.280 I think there's very strong possibility that the American Empire 2485 01:56:04.280 --> 01:56:06.280 will collapse in the next five to 10 years. 2486 01:56:06.280 --> 01:56:08.280 Because it is overstretched. 2487 01:56:08.280 --> 01:56:09.280 It's in too much debt. 2488 01:56:09.280 --> 01:56:12.280 And it is really angry in the entire world. 2489 01:56:12.280 --> 01:56:15.280 It's basically unifying the entire world against it right now. 2490 01:56:15.280 --> 01:56:17.280 And if that is to be the case, what would you give me 2491 01:56:17.280 --> 01:56:19.280 as advice as a 33 year old? 2492 01:56:19.280 --> 01:56:22.280 What actions should I be thinking about taking now 2493 01:56:22.280 --> 01:56:25.280 based on what you know about history to make sure that 2494 01:56:25.280 --> 01:56:27.280 it's not too bad for myself? 2495 01:56:27.280 --> 01:56:31.280 I guess I'm asking this question in light of you predicting that 2496 01:56:31.280 --> 01:56:33.280 there might be a collapse of the sort of western 2497 01:56:33.280 --> 01:56:36.280 or the American Empire. 2498 01:56:36.280 --> 01:56:39.280 And in such a scenario, I was wondering what it would look like 2499 01:56:39.280 --> 01:56:41.280 to be an American. 2500 01:56:41.280 --> 01:56:44.280 And is there a solution or a course of behavior 2501 01:56:44.280 --> 01:56:46.280 one should take in such a scenario? 2502 01:56:46.280 --> 01:56:48.280 But what I guess that's the key question, which is 2503 01:56:48.280 --> 01:56:50.280 if the US Empire does collapse, 2504 01:56:50.280 --> 01:56:53.280 how does American life change or western life change? 2505 01:56:53.280 --> 01:56:54.280 Okay. 2506 01:56:54.280 --> 01:56:57.280 So one theory that's very important to understand 2507 01:56:57.280 --> 01:56:59.280 is someone called Hermetic Philosophy. 2508 01:56:59.280 --> 01:57:02.280 And Hermetic Philosophy is what underpins 2509 01:57:02.280 --> 01:57:05.280 Plato's algorithm cave. 2510 01:57:05.280 --> 01:57:08.280 And Hermetic Philosophy comes from Egypt. 2511 01:57:09.280 --> 01:57:11.280 And it has some principles. 2512 01:57:11.280 --> 01:57:15.280 But his main principle is that reality is energy. 2513 01:57:15.280 --> 01:57:16.280 It's vibrations. 2514 01:57:16.280 --> 01:57:17.280 Okay. 2515 01:57:17.280 --> 01:57:18.280 So we think of it as material. 2516 01:57:18.280 --> 01:57:22.280 The material is a consequence of energy. 2517 01:57:22.280 --> 01:57:23.280 Right. 2518 01:57:23.280 --> 01:57:29.280 So what this means is that reality is consciousness itself. 2519 01:57:29.280 --> 01:57:33.280 So our thoughts are what's real. 2520 01:57:33.280 --> 01:57:37.280 Our bodies are just vehicles 2521 01:57:37.280 --> 01:57:39.280 to experience the world around us. 2522 01:57:39.280 --> 01:57:40.280 But they're not real. 2523 01:57:40.280 --> 01:57:44.280 When we die, our souls return to the source. 2524 01:57:44.280 --> 01:57:45.280 And we come back again. 2525 01:57:45.280 --> 01:57:48.280 And we are here permanently in order to experience things 2526 01:57:48.280 --> 01:57:50.280 we cannot experience in the spiritual world. 2527 01:57:50.280 --> 01:57:53.280 Because in the spiritual world, it's not material. 2528 01:57:53.280 --> 01:57:59.280 So what's really important is to appreciate that 2529 01:57:59.280 --> 01:58:02.280 every one of us is part of the source. 2530 01:58:02.280 --> 01:58:06.280 And so if we think about the totality of things, 2531 01:58:06.280 --> 01:58:08.280 we can only become despondent. 2532 01:58:08.280 --> 01:58:10.280 We can only give up hope. 2533 01:58:10.280 --> 01:58:13.280 But we think about how individually 2534 01:58:13.280 --> 01:58:16.280 we can become a better person. 2535 01:58:16.280 --> 01:58:19.280 And how we can impact the people around us. 2536 01:58:19.280 --> 01:58:22.280 Then that becomes reflected 2537 01:58:22.280 --> 01:58:25.280 onto the reality itself. 2538 01:58:25.280 --> 01:58:27.280 Because we're just part of God itself. 2539 01:58:27.280 --> 01:58:28.280 Right. 2540 01:58:28.280 --> 01:58:31.280 So the idea is as above, so below, 2541 01:58:31.280 --> 01:58:33.280 as below, so above. 2542 01:58:33.280 --> 01:58:35.280 Meaning that we are each and everyone else. 2543 01:58:35.280 --> 01:58:37.280 Fractals of God. 2544 01:58:37.280 --> 01:58:39.280 So we choose to be a good person. 2545 01:58:39.280 --> 01:58:42.280 This makes the world a better place. 2546 01:58:42.280 --> 01:58:44.280 We choose to be a bad person 2547 01:58:44.280 --> 01:58:46.280 and also makes the world a worse place. 2548 01:58:46.280 --> 01:58:49.280 So it's not really about how can I stop these wars 2549 01:58:49.280 --> 01:58:50.280 from happening. 2550 01:58:50.280 --> 01:58:51.280 But you cannot. 2551 01:58:51.280 --> 01:58:53.280 It's not really about where can I put my money 2552 01:58:53.280 --> 01:58:54.280 to make generate more income 2553 01:58:54.280 --> 01:58:56.280 because that's not going to happen. 2554 01:58:56.280 --> 01:59:01.280 It's really about how do I live my life 2555 01:59:01.280 --> 01:59:02.280 to the fullest? 2556 01:59:03.280 --> 01:59:06.280 How do I become a much more creative individual 2557 01:59:06.280 --> 01:59:09.280 that brings goodness to the people around me? 2558 01:59:09.280 --> 01:59:10.280 If you do that, 2559 01:59:10.280 --> 01:59:14.280 you change the world every day for the better. 2560 01:59:18.280 --> 01:59:20.280 That's a nice message. 2561 01:59:20.280 --> 01:59:22.280 That's a very nice message. 2562 01:59:22.280 --> 01:59:23.280 And I agree. 2563 01:59:23.280 --> 01:59:24.280 And it's really interesting. 2564 01:59:24.280 --> 01:59:26.280 I've spoken to a couple of physicists now. 2565 01:59:26.280 --> 01:59:28.280 Who say similar things regarding 2566 01:59:28.280 --> 01:59:29.280 about consciousness. 2567 01:59:29.280 --> 01:59:30.280 And it really has stuck with me. 2568 01:59:30.280 --> 01:59:32.280 A lot of things people say, you know, 2569 01:59:32.280 --> 01:59:34.280 sometimes because I learn so much doing this 2570 01:59:34.280 --> 01:59:35.280 that I forget them. 2571 01:59:35.280 --> 01:59:39.280 But this idea that we're all part of the same consciousness 2572 01:59:39.280 --> 01:59:41.280 and that I think someone said to me a physicist 2573 01:59:41.280 --> 01:59:44.280 to me that it's almost like consciousness 2574 01:59:44.280 --> 01:59:46.280 divided into lots of little pieces. 2575 01:59:46.280 --> 01:59:47.280 That's right. 2576 01:59:47.280 --> 01:59:48.280 Fractals. 2577 01:59:48.280 --> 01:59:50.280 Fractals so that it could experience the world 2578 01:59:50.280 --> 01:59:51.280 or view the world. 2579 01:59:51.280 --> 01:59:52.280 Exactly. 2580 01:59:52.280 --> 01:59:53.280 And I found that to be a really compelling idea. 2581 01:59:53.280 --> 01:59:54.280 Weirdly, I was thinking about this the other day. 2582 01:59:54.280 --> 01:59:56.280 I was in a European country. 2583 01:59:56.280 --> 01:59:58.280 And I was driving in a taxi. 2584 01:59:58.280 --> 01:59:59.280 And I looked out the window. 2585 01:59:59.280 --> 02:00:01.280 And you had all of these like tourists 2586 02:00:01.280 --> 02:00:02.280 just at the edge of the water, 2587 02:00:02.280 --> 02:00:04.280 all just like looking up and looking around. 2588 02:00:04.280 --> 02:00:06.280 And I just, for a second thought of it, 2589 02:00:06.280 --> 02:00:08.280 thought of them as like little pieces of consciousness 2590 02:00:08.280 --> 02:00:09.280 exploring the world. 2591 02:00:09.280 --> 02:00:11.280 Because they were like looking up and looking out 2592 02:00:11.280 --> 02:00:12.280 and looking at mountains and looking at the ocean 2593 02:00:12.280 --> 02:00:13.280 and looking at the floor. 2594 02:00:13.280 --> 02:00:15.280 And it dawned on me for a second 2595 02:00:15.280 --> 02:00:17.280 that that might just be consciousness 2596 02:00:17.280 --> 02:00:21.280 is manifestation for sort of, I guess, exploration. 2597 02:00:21.280 --> 02:00:23.280 Which is a really interesting idea. 2598 02:00:23.280 --> 02:00:25.280 I don't necessarily know what it means, 2599 02:00:25.280 --> 02:00:26.280 but it does create a little lot of empathy. 2600 02:00:27.280 --> 02:00:29.280 So one area that you might want to explore 2601 02:00:29.280 --> 02:00:30.280 is the Kabbalah. 2602 02:00:30.280 --> 02:00:32.280 So what's this Kabbalah thing? 2603 02:00:32.280 --> 02:00:33.280 Right. 2604 02:00:33.280 --> 02:00:34.280 It's what they call the tree of life. 2605 02:00:34.280 --> 02:00:36.280 And in the tree of life, 2606 02:00:36.280 --> 02:00:38.280 it's what you're trying to say is that 2607 02:00:38.280 --> 02:00:39.280 it's a dynamic in the world, 2608 02:00:39.280 --> 02:00:41.280 like governs all human affairs. 2609 02:00:41.280 --> 02:00:46.280 And this dynamic is thesis, antithesis, synthesis. 2610 02:00:46.280 --> 02:00:49.280 So God is the will to bestow, 2611 02:00:49.280 --> 02:00:52.280 creates Adam Kanman who is the will to receive 2612 02:00:52.280 --> 02:00:54.280 and on Kanman has to abandon God. 2613 02:00:55.280 --> 02:00:56.280 That's the story in the world. 2614 02:00:56.280 --> 02:00:58.280 But eventually, because the world is destroyed, 2615 02:00:58.280 --> 02:01:00.280 and then Kanman and his descendants, 2616 02:01:00.280 --> 02:01:03.280 us recognize the fall of our ways 2617 02:01:03.280 --> 02:01:05.280 and beg God for forgiveness. 2618 02:01:05.280 --> 02:01:07.280 And this will redeem the world. 2619 02:01:07.280 --> 02:01:09.280 We peer the world. 2620 02:01:09.280 --> 02:01:11.280 And if you think about it, okay? 2621 02:01:11.280 --> 02:01:15.280 This is what underpins a lot of actions 2622 02:01:15.280 --> 02:01:18.280 that is happening in the Middle East. 2623 02:01:18.280 --> 02:01:21.280 Where these really are doing what they're doing, 2624 02:01:21.280 --> 02:01:25.280 we're just trying to force the hand of God. 2625 02:01:25.280 --> 02:01:27.280 Meaning that, okay, 2626 02:01:27.280 --> 02:01:30.280 if the issue is committing all these atrocities 2627 02:01:30.280 --> 02:01:31.280 in the Middle East, 2628 02:01:31.280 --> 02:01:32.280 it's putting all these wars, 2629 02:01:32.280 --> 02:01:36.280 eventually the world will have to punish the issue, 2630 02:01:36.280 --> 02:01:37.280 the issue of the East. 2631 02:01:37.280 --> 02:01:38.280 Right? 2632 02:01:38.280 --> 02:01:40.280 There'll be war between the world and the issue. 2633 02:01:40.280 --> 02:01:42.280 An issue will be humbled. 2634 02:01:42.280 --> 02:01:44.280 But once the issue is humbled, 2635 02:01:44.280 --> 02:01:47.280 everyone in the issue will recognize 2636 02:01:47.280 --> 02:01:52.280 the fall of his or her arrogance, 2637 02:01:52.280 --> 02:01:53.280 hubris, 2638 02:01:53.280 --> 02:01:56.280 and then will beg God for forgiveness. 2639 02:01:56.280 --> 02:01:58.280 And once that someone happens, 2640 02:01:58.280 --> 02:02:00.280 when all people in Israel, 2641 02:02:00.280 --> 02:02:02.280 at the same time, 2642 02:02:02.280 --> 02:02:04.280 beg God for deliverance 2643 02:02:04.280 --> 02:02:05.280 and for forgiveness, 2644 02:02:05.280 --> 02:02:07.280 the world will end. 2645 02:02:07.280 --> 02:02:10.280 And we'll return to paradise. 2646 02:02:10.280 --> 02:02:12.280 That's literally what they believe. 2647 02:02:18.280 --> 02:02:20.280 We're going to have to stop that professor. 2648 02:02:20.280 --> 02:02:21.280 Okay. 2649 02:02:21.280 --> 02:02:22.280 We have a closing tradition 2650 02:02:22.280 --> 02:02:23.280 where the last guest leads a question for the next guest, 2651 02:02:23.280 --> 02:02:25.280 not knowing who they're living it for. 2652 02:02:25.280 --> 02:02:27.280 And the question left for you is, 2653 02:02:27.280 --> 02:02:30.280 who will you miss the most and why? 2654 02:02:30.280 --> 02:02:35.280 Well, I will miss my wife the most, 2655 02:02:35.280 --> 02:02:38.280 because I met my wife by 10 years ago, 2656 02:02:38.280 --> 02:02:40.280 and this was a time in my life 2657 02:02:40.280 --> 02:02:44.280 when I had hit rock bottom. 2658 02:02:44.280 --> 02:02:46.280 I went to Yale, 2659 02:02:46.280 --> 02:02:49.280 and so I have a very elevated sense 2660 02:02:49.280 --> 02:02:51.280 of myself and my abilities. 2661 02:02:51.280 --> 02:02:53.280 And so I went into the world 2662 02:02:53.280 --> 02:02:55.280 thinking that I would conquer it. 2663 02:02:55.280 --> 02:02:58.280 And after decades of failure, 2664 02:02:58.280 --> 02:03:02.280 I basically became very depressed. 2665 02:03:02.280 --> 02:03:03.280 Failure. 2666 02:03:03.280 --> 02:03:05.280 Yes, I didn't have a job, 2667 02:03:05.280 --> 02:03:08.280 meaning I didn't have much income, 2668 02:03:08.280 --> 02:03:11.280 meaning I didn't have much hope in my life. 2669 02:03:11.280 --> 02:03:13.280 And so I was working as a teacher 2670 02:03:13.280 --> 02:03:16.280 and for mutual acquaintance I met my wife. 2671 02:03:16.280 --> 02:03:21.280 And I think that it was because 2672 02:03:21.280 --> 02:03:24.280 I became so depressed that my heart 2673 02:03:24.280 --> 02:03:27.280 I begged for relief. 2674 02:03:27.280 --> 02:03:29.280 I begged God, 2675 02:03:29.280 --> 02:03:31.280 even though I don't believe in God, 2676 02:03:31.280 --> 02:03:33.280 for salvation and redemption. 2677 02:03:33.280 --> 02:03:36.280 And my wife came as an angel. 2678 02:03:36.280 --> 02:03:38.280 And what she did that no one else 2679 02:03:38.280 --> 02:03:42.280 did before was she loved me unconditionally. 2680 02:03:42.280 --> 02:03:45.280 She was kind to me. 2681 02:03:45.280 --> 02:03:49.280 She told me to believe in myself. 2682 02:03:49.280 --> 02:03:51.280 And she proved it 2683 02:03:51.280 --> 02:03:53.280 by making the ultimate sacrifice 2684 02:03:53.280 --> 02:03:55.280 and having a child with me. 2685 02:03:55.280 --> 02:03:56.280 Right? 2686 02:03:56.280 --> 02:03:58.280 It's one thing for someone to say, 2687 02:03:58.280 --> 02:03:59.280 I believe in you. 2688 02:03:59.280 --> 02:04:00.280 I love you. 2689 02:04:00.280 --> 02:04:02.280 It's another thing to have a child 2690 02:04:02.280 --> 02:04:03.280 without person. 2691 02:04:03.280 --> 02:04:07.280 And so that changed me totally. 2692 02:04:07.280 --> 02:04:09.280 And I said to myself, 2693 02:04:09.280 --> 02:04:11.280 I can't despair anymore. 2694 02:04:11.280 --> 02:04:13.280 I have to work hard. 2695 02:04:13.280 --> 02:04:17.280 I have to provide for my family. 2696 02:04:17.280 --> 02:04:19.280 And at this time I was thinking that 2697 02:04:19.280 --> 02:04:22.280 maybe I could help children students 2698 02:04:22.280 --> 02:04:24.280 go to Yale. 2699 02:04:24.280 --> 02:04:26.280 Like, you know, in China, 2700 02:04:26.280 --> 02:04:27.280 consulting is a huge business 2701 02:04:27.280 --> 02:04:29.280 where if you help package a kid 2702 02:04:29.280 --> 02:04:30.280 and you get to the Yale, 2703 02:04:30.280 --> 02:04:31.280 you get about a million dollars. 2704 02:04:31.280 --> 02:04:32.280 That's a lot of money, right? 2705 02:04:32.280 --> 02:04:35.280 And she told me you can't do that. 2706 02:04:35.280 --> 02:04:37.280 You have to be true to yourself 2707 02:04:37.280 --> 02:04:39.280 and you have to be true to our son. 2708 02:04:39.280 --> 02:04:41.280 I said a good example for him. 2709 02:04:41.280 --> 02:04:43.280 And so what happened was 2710 02:04:43.280 --> 02:04:46.280 that I got a job as a high school teacher. 2711 02:04:46.280 --> 02:04:49.280 And then I started to make these YouTube videos. 2712 02:04:49.280 --> 02:04:52.280 And then it blew up online. 2713 02:04:52.280 --> 02:04:54.280 And this was not something that we expected. 2714 02:04:54.280 --> 02:04:56.280 It's not something that we planned for. 2715 02:04:56.280 --> 02:04:58.280 It just happened organically. 2716 02:04:58.280 --> 02:05:02.280 So it was my wife just by saying, 2717 02:05:02.280 --> 02:05:04.280 I love you to me. 2718 02:05:04.280 --> 02:05:05.280 And I knew it to be true 2719 02:05:05.280 --> 02:05:06.280 because we had a child together. 2720 02:05:06.280 --> 02:05:07.280 We started family together. 2721 02:05:08.280 --> 02:05:09.280 By loving me unconditionally, 2722 02:05:09.280 --> 02:05:10.280 by being kind to me, 2723 02:05:10.280 --> 02:05:11.280 it changed me forever. 2724 02:05:11.280 --> 02:05:13.280 And that's what empowered me 2725 02:05:13.280 --> 02:05:15.280 to want to share myself 2726 02:05:15.280 --> 02:05:17.280 with other people as well. 2727 02:05:17.280 --> 02:05:20.280 And so I don't know how I will ever affect my wife. 2728 02:05:20.280 --> 02:05:23.280 I'm forever grateful for her. 2729 02:05:23.280 --> 02:05:24.280 And I don't, 2730 02:05:24.280 --> 02:05:26.280 I don't, before I did really mind 2731 02:05:26.280 --> 02:05:27.280 the endless world, 2732 02:05:27.280 --> 02:05:29.280 but I don't want to leave this world anymore 2733 02:05:29.280 --> 02:05:31.280 because I don't want to separate from her. 2734 02:05:31.280 --> 02:05:33.280 Could you have expected 2735 02:05:33.280 --> 02:05:35.280 that you'd have the success you've had online? 2736 02:05:35.280 --> 02:05:36.280 You've got two, 2737 02:05:36.280 --> 02:05:38.280 almost two and a half million subscribers 2738 02:05:38.280 --> 02:05:39.280 on YouTube alone, 2739 02:05:39.280 --> 02:05:41.280 getting millions and millions and millions of views 2740 02:05:41.280 --> 02:05:42.280 on your videos. 2741 02:05:42.280 --> 02:05:43.280 I mean, 2742 02:05:43.280 --> 02:05:45.280 some of your videos have almost 10 million views 2743 02:05:45.280 --> 02:05:47.280 on various channels that you've been on. 2744 02:05:47.280 --> 02:05:50.280 You've only made 146 of these videos 2745 02:05:50.280 --> 02:05:53.280 and your channel has grown immensely. 2746 02:05:53.280 --> 02:05:55.280 Could you have imagined? 2747 02:05:57.280 --> 02:05:58.280 I did. 2748 02:05:58.280 --> 02:05:59.280 You did imagine? 2749 02:05:59.280 --> 02:06:00.280 Yes. 2750 02:06:00.280 --> 02:06:01.280 You thought it would go like this? 2751 02:06:01.280 --> 02:06:02.280 Not this big, 2752 02:06:02.280 --> 02:06:03.280 but I imagine, 2753 02:06:04.280 --> 02:06:06.280 you know, I would find people 2754 02:06:06.280 --> 02:06:08.280 who believe in what I was doing 2755 02:06:08.280 --> 02:06:09.280 and who would be inspired 2756 02:06:09.280 --> 02:06:11.280 by what I was doing. 2757 02:06:11.280 --> 02:06:13.280 And I knew this because 2758 02:06:13.280 --> 02:06:15.280 when I met my wife 2759 02:06:15.280 --> 02:06:17.280 and I fell in love for the first time, 2760 02:06:17.280 --> 02:06:18.280 and we love each other 2761 02:06:18.280 --> 02:06:20.280 unconditionally, 2762 02:06:20.280 --> 02:06:24.280 my imagination started to open up. 2763 02:06:24.280 --> 02:06:26.280 I could see and feel things 2764 02:06:26.280 --> 02:06:29.280 that were not available to me before. 2765 02:06:29.280 --> 02:06:31.280 And it was as though 2766 02:06:31.280 --> 02:06:34.280 I became much more connected to the source. 2767 02:06:34.280 --> 02:06:36.280 I became much more connected to the universe. 2768 02:06:36.280 --> 02:06:38.280 And the universe was given me insights 2769 02:06:38.280 --> 02:06:41.280 as to how to proceed. 2770 02:06:41.280 --> 02:06:45.280 And so I had one day in inspiration. 2771 02:06:45.280 --> 02:06:46.280 Let me start our YouTube channel 2772 02:06:46.280 --> 02:06:48.280 and let me make stupid predictions 2773 02:06:48.280 --> 02:06:50.280 and see where it goes. 2774 02:06:50.280 --> 02:06:51.280 Because if I'm right, 2775 02:06:51.280 --> 02:06:55.280 then I would be pretty famous. 2776 02:06:55.280 --> 02:06:57.280 If I'm wrong, then I'm an idiot. 2777 02:06:57.280 --> 02:07:00.280 But what gave me the courage 2778 02:07:00.280 --> 02:07:02.280 to imagine all this 2779 02:07:02.280 --> 02:07:05.280 was again the love of my wife. 2780 02:07:05.280 --> 02:07:07.280 So that's why I say, 2781 02:07:07.280 --> 02:07:10.280 kindness and love. 2782 02:07:10.280 --> 02:07:13.280 So I did imagine this, 2783 02:07:13.280 --> 02:07:15.280 but not to the extent that, 2784 02:07:15.280 --> 02:07:18.280 you know, my YouTube channel has blown up. 2785 02:07:18.280 --> 02:07:21.280 You've only been doing it about a year. 2786 02:07:21.280 --> 02:07:22.280 I don't think I've ever seen someone 2787 02:07:22.280 --> 02:07:25.280 get two and a half million subscribers in a year. 2788 02:07:25.280 --> 02:07:27.280 Especially making geopolitics 2789 02:07:27.280 --> 02:07:31.280 and it's many geopolitics, isn't it? 2790 02:07:31.280 --> 02:07:33.280 And history videos in a year. 2791 02:07:33.280 --> 02:07:34.280 That's crazy. 2792 02:07:34.280 --> 02:07:36.280 But I will tell you this. 2793 02:07:36.280 --> 02:07:39.280 It has not changed me. 2794 02:07:39.280 --> 02:07:42.280 Because being with my wife, 2795 02:07:42.280 --> 02:07:44.280 having a family, 2796 02:07:44.280 --> 02:07:48.280 I know my mission is to share myself with others. 2797 02:07:48.280 --> 02:07:54.280 So I could easily create a media education company 2798 02:07:54.280 --> 02:07:56.280 like Jordan Peterson 2799 02:07:56.280 --> 02:07:58.280 and start my own university. 2800 02:07:58.280 --> 02:08:00.280 I don't want to do that. 2801 02:08:00.280 --> 02:08:03.280 I want to share myself with others. 2802 02:08:03.280 --> 02:08:05.280 I want to constantly learn. 2803 02:08:05.280 --> 02:08:07.280 I want to constantly ask questions. 2804 02:08:07.280 --> 02:08:08.280 I want to be open-minded. 2805 02:08:08.280 --> 02:08:13.280 I want to be brave for my wife and my family. 2806 02:08:13.280 --> 02:08:16.280 And so yes, I did succeed. 2807 02:08:16.280 --> 02:08:19.280 And I think I affect the universe for lending me succeed. 2808 02:08:19.280 --> 02:08:23.280 And I thank most of all the fact that I succeeded. 2809 02:08:23.280 --> 02:08:28.280 I engage in a time when I can focus on a mission 2810 02:08:28.280 --> 02:08:33.280 and ignore the fame, the wealth, the status. 2811 02:08:33.280 --> 02:08:34.280 Are you happy? 2812 02:08:34.280 --> 02:08:36.280 I'm very happy with my family. 2813 02:08:36.280 --> 02:08:38.280 Because it's my wife and my children 2814 02:08:38.280 --> 02:08:42.280 who bring me tremendous happiness in the world. 2815 02:08:42.280 --> 02:08:44.280 The YouTube channel. 2816 02:08:44.280 --> 02:08:46.280 If they close it down tomorrow, 2817 02:08:46.280 --> 02:08:47.280 and they might, 2818 02:08:47.280 --> 02:08:50.280 I wouldn't be at all unhappy. 2819 02:08:50.280 --> 02:08:54.280 Because I could just go and create more videos. 2820 02:08:54.280 --> 02:08:57.280 What matters is a source of my creativity, 2821 02:08:57.280 --> 02:09:00.280 which is my love I have for my family. 2822 02:09:00.280 --> 02:09:02.280 That is beautiful. 2823 02:09:02.280 --> 02:09:03.280 Really beautiful. 2824 02:09:03.280 --> 02:09:05.280 I mean, it's really self-evident the value 2825 02:09:05.280 --> 02:09:06.280 you're giving to people 2826 02:09:06.280 --> 02:09:08.280 because the amount of people that showed up 2827 02:09:08.280 --> 02:09:11.280 in my comment section and demanded that you come here 2828 02:09:11.280 --> 02:09:12.280 was staggering. 2829 02:09:12.280 --> 02:09:14.280 In fact, that's actually how I learn about you. 2830 02:09:14.280 --> 02:09:17.280 I just threw your name so much in the comment section. 2831 02:09:18.280 --> 02:09:19.280 I was like, who's this guy? 2832 02:09:19.280 --> 02:09:21.280 I went on YouTube and looked around 2833 02:09:21.280 --> 02:09:22.280 and then I found these videos, 2834 02:09:22.280 --> 02:09:24.280 and then I got served them because I clicked on them, 2835 02:09:24.280 --> 02:09:25.280 and then I got, went down the route, 2836 02:09:25.280 --> 02:09:26.280 that whole like it was. 2837 02:09:26.280 --> 02:09:27.280 Just to warn you, 2838 02:09:27.280 --> 02:09:29.280 I am a hollow icing figure. 2839 02:09:29.280 --> 02:09:31.280 Some people really love me, 2840 02:09:31.280 --> 02:09:34.280 but some people also really really hate me. 2841 02:09:34.280 --> 02:09:35.280 It doesn't matter. 2842 02:09:35.280 --> 02:09:37.280 I sit here with people really regardless 2843 02:09:37.280 --> 02:09:40.280 of that stuff. 2844 02:09:40.280 --> 02:09:42.280 I think that's important and quite rare. 2845 02:09:42.280 --> 02:09:44.280 I've sat with Kamala Harris, 2846 02:09:44.280 --> 02:09:47.280 Ivanka Trump, or Gavin Newsom, or Michelle Obama. 2847 02:09:47.280 --> 02:09:49.280 For me, it's really about the pursuit of truth 2848 02:09:49.280 --> 02:09:51.280 rather than being captured too much 2849 02:09:51.280 --> 02:09:55.280 by all the blocks that we have on the table. 2850 02:09:55.280 --> 02:09:57.280 Thank you for doing what you do 2851 02:09:57.280 --> 02:09:58.280 because you're demystifying 2852 02:09:58.280 --> 02:10:00.280 and you're giving a perspective to the world. 2853 02:10:00.280 --> 02:10:02.280 I think one of the things you do that 2854 02:10:02.280 --> 02:10:03.280 really has compel people 2855 02:10:03.280 --> 02:10:07.280 is you're able to break things down in visual ways 2856 02:10:07.280 --> 02:10:09.280 that allow people like me 2857 02:10:09.280 --> 02:10:11.280 who aren't the best 2858 02:10:11.280 --> 02:10:14.280 when it comes to books and textbooks 2859 02:10:14.280 --> 02:10:16.280 and weren't necessarily very good in school 2860 02:10:16.280 --> 02:10:18.280 to understand concepts in a simpler way 2861 02:10:18.280 --> 02:10:20.280 and really to bring them to life in ways 2862 02:10:20.280 --> 02:10:22.280 that make them actionable and relevant to our lives. 2863 02:10:22.280 --> 02:10:25.280 And so long may you carry on doing that. 2864 02:10:25.280 --> 02:10:26.280 And that's a central message 2865 02:10:26.280 --> 02:10:27.280 that I hope people understand 2866 02:10:27.280 --> 02:10:29.280 like everyone has the capacity 2867 02:10:29.280 --> 02:10:33.280 to learn the truth for himself or herself. 2868 02:10:33.280 --> 02:10:35.280 It's only a question of desire and will. 2869 02:10:35.280 --> 02:10:36.280 Thank you. 2870 02:10:36.280 --> 02:10:37.280 Thank you. 2871 02:10:37.280 --> 02:10:38.280 Thank you.
