• 0:01
  We're gonna interrupt the silence with my voice
• 0:04
  this morning.
• 0:05
  How's it going?
• 0:06
  I'm Samuel Trapp.
• 0:07
  This is damn radio.
• 0:09
  You are listening to International Flavor coming to
• 0:13
  you live from the Lake Ozark real estate
• 0:15
  of the art studio on this Can't stand
• 0:20
  the weather, you know, I can't stand you.
• 0:23
  I can't stand the weather because Either be
• 0:27
  cold or be hot.
• 0:28
  You can't be both.
• 0:29
  It drives me crazy makes me sick stuffs
• 0:31
  my nose doesn't you know weird stuff?
• 0:34
  I turn a lethargic and Cocoon up.
• 0:38
  It's ridiculous.
• 0:39
  I Dislike it somebody whoever's in charge needs
• 0:43
  to fix this Apparently I'm not in charge
• 0:46
  because I've been bitching about it for years
• 0:48
  and so far.
• 0:49
  Nothing has worked So at least when I
• 0:53
  grew up as a child in Minnesota It
• 0:56
  was cold, you know heck it was cold
• 1:00
  What's it?
• 1:01
  It's cold Starting in October ended in May
• 1:05
  and then you'd have reasonably cool weather, you
• 1:07
  know, rarely hot Life was good, right?
• 1:11
  At least I had a a CA.
• 1:14
  Yeah, what do you know pattern here?
• 1:16
  We got nothing one day.
• 1:17
  It's 90 the next day It's 22.
• 1:19
  It's nuts and I dislike it, but I
• 1:23
  don't like being in Shouldn't say that.
• 1:26
  I like being in Florida, but I'm not
• 1:27
  a big fan.
• 1:28
  I don't know why I just hasn't grown
• 1:31
  on me yet however much ado about much
• 1:38
  in the news Going on apparently the war
• 1:41
  proceeds as we all knew it would at
• 1:44
  least those of us who knew anything Because
• 1:48
  Trump can't accept the realities that are being
• 1:51
  forced upon him because it He actually gets
• 1:55
  nothing off out of a huge war.
• 1:58
  What does he get?
• 1:58
  Seriously and Out of creating something in and
• 2:02
  by the way Yesterday, I saw something hilarious.
• 2:05
  Now.
• 2:05
  This was funny Trump posted something on his
• 2:10
  whatever it is true social or whatever the
• 2:13
  only way he communicates really is He put
• 2:16
  something out there about the wonderful who I
• 2:20
  I mean get this Lindsey Graham It's getting
• 2:25
  endorsed by Trump you're desperate you're endorsing that
• 2:28
  dude.
• 2:29
  No, that's nuts and Why in foreign policy?
• 2:34
  This is another interesting question that I was
• 2:37
  pondering all day yesterday that I still don't
• 2:39
  have an answer for Why in the world?
• 2:42
  does your Secretary of State your foreign dude,
• 2:46
  you're you're you're your top foreign person why
• 2:52
  does he not go to the Meeting in
• 2:58
  Islamabad Why isn't he off to Pakistan?
• 3:01
  Why are you sending?
• 3:03
  Why are you sending?
• 3:05
  Vance It's an interesting question to me.
• 3:08
  I really don't know the answer to that
• 3:09
  question.
• 3:10
  I think Rubio's another Another what you call
• 3:14
  it, dude.
• 3:15
  I was just bitching about Lindsey Graham, you
• 3:19
  know Graham, you know what?
• 3:21
  That'd be a great ticket to For president
• 3:25
  next time it could be Lindsey Graham and
• 3:28
  Marco Rubio as your as your tag-team
• 3:31
  back again Whoop, there it is for you.
• 3:36
  We had much in the election news Miger
• 3:39
  beat or Magyar, I'm sorry beat Orban In
• 3:44
  the Hungary wars So Orban who's been in
• 3:50
  power for a long time pretty much pro
• 3:53
  -russia certainly pro-russian energy and it was
• 3:57
  a pretty substantial defeat and I'll tell you
• 4:02
  what.
• 4:02
  I've traveled in that area of the world
• 4:05
  never hungry haven't been there But you know,
• 4:08
  I'm telling you the Poles the Latvians Lithuanians
• 4:12
  Estonians even to some extent the people of
• 4:16
  better Belarus, especially those that run off to
• 4:18
  Florida they are extremely pro Europe and they
• 4:24
  love the the concept of we hate Russia
• 4:28
  and and we're supposed to hate Russia and
• 4:32
  They truly they just love it, I don't
• 4:34
  I don't understand what it is, you know
• 4:36
  jealousy comes in many ways and Maybe that's
• 4:40
  it.
• 4:41
  I don't know.
• 4:42
  I don't get it because I Personally don't
• 4:45
  see Russia as the big bad wolf and
• 4:48
  I can't figure out why everyone else does
• 4:52
  the only it really truly makes no sense
• 4:57
  and You know people are stupid anymore and
• 5:00
  they really don't do their own research and
• 5:03
  and I'm thinking that the globalists who have
• 5:07
  tried and now do Control Hungary.
• 5:10
  They got only the the one guy left
• 5:13
  Whatever.
• 5:14
  His name is feet.
• 5:15
  So can they only got one one person
• 5:18
  left?
• 5:19
  That's really independent over there in Europe The
• 5:22
  Europeans are nuts and they're they're they're building
• 5:26
  for war Britain yesterday put out a plan
• 5:29
  to Build for war we're building up for
• 5:31
  war against Russia.
• 5:33
  Everybody's building for war against Russia You know
• 5:37
  build it and they will come, you know,
• 5:39
  that's that's how it goes.
• 5:40
  Everybody thinks Russia's on a tear to take
• 5:42
  over the planet I don't see it that
• 5:46
  way never have and I'd like to see
• 5:48
  somebody Coherently state what leads them to that
• 5:54
  conclusion I think economically Russia China India Mongolia
• 6:00
  these people are gonna dominate in the in
• 6:04
  the next 20 30 years and You know
• 6:09
  Maybe it's time that that somebody in a
• 6:13
  little bit more detail outlined why And and
• 6:19
  I think I will endeavor to do that
• 6:21
  because I'm telling you there there's something screwy
• 6:26
  going on in the world so the hue
• 6:32
  and and Trump's deeply involved in it because
• 6:34
  I believe as crazy as I think his
• 6:38
  commentary and his BS are I Think ultimately
• 6:43
  he understands and he truly Doesn't know the
• 6:47
  right alternatives and how to repair it, okay
• 6:51
  the petro-dollar No matter what and I
• 6:55
  believe this is what we've just discovered what
• 6:58
  he's absolutely Just discovered and now if I
• 7:02
  can't have any Hormuz nobody can have Hormuz.
• 7:06
  I'm going to blockade the world because that's
• 7:09
  what I do.
• 7:09
  That's what I live for I am King.
• 7:13
  I am in charge of the planet.
• 7:15
  I'm sorry.
• 7:15
  The title is God Emperor I thought I
• 7:18
  was gonna be the first God Emperor of
• 7:20
  the planet, but apparently it's going to be
• 7:22
  Donald Trump yesterday He said he was Jesus
• 7:25
  your son Equated himself to Jesus after the
• 7:29
  Pope.
• 7:29
  There's a whole story on it.
• 7:30
  Oh, man, I I Can't take it.
• 7:35
  Oh, where is this?
• 7:36
  I gotta find this for you Trump casts
• 7:39
  himself as Jesus.
• 7:42
  This is great Let's see Where is he?
• 7:48
  Where is he US president portrayed himself as
• 7:51
  a holy healer while some noted a similarity
• 7:54
  Between the man being healed and Jeffrey Epstein
• 7:57
  in the photo US President Trump has shared
• 8:02
  an AI generated image of himself as a
• 8:05
  robed Christ like figure Healing a bedridden man
• 8:10
  flanked by Eagles fighter jets and US service
• 8:12
  members with the Statue of Liberty US flag
• 8:15
  in the background the post triggered backlash No
• 8:18
  doubt with some users suggesting the figure being
• 8:21
  healed resembled the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey
• 8:24
  Epstein I don't give a crap about the
• 8:26
  guy being healed.
• 8:27
  I give a crap about Trump playing Jesus
• 8:30
  He's got light coming out of his hands
• 8:33
  people The guys and he but this is
• 8:37
  nuts what in the hell are you doing?
• 8:41
  This I don't get it.
• 8:43
  The guy has gone off the deep end
• 8:45
  or something The image was posted on true
• 8:48
  social yesterday After Trump took a broadside at
• 8:52
  Pope Leo the 14th Calling the Chicago-born
• 8:56
  pontiff weak on crime and terrible on foreign
• 8:59
  policy What do we care if the Pope
• 9:02
  is weak on crime and terrible on foreign
• 9:04
  policy Trump is weak on foreign policy Well,
• 9:06
  if Trump is terrible on foreign policy, I
• 9:09
  don't know about crime, you know, whatever.
• 9:12
  I don't like the way he's doing it,
• 9:13
  but The terrible on foreign policy Jesus that
• 9:18
  projection much in in the picture Trump didn't
• 9:22
  give himself a halo You know But he's
• 9:24
  seen wearing red and white drapes colors of
• 9:26
  symbolizing bloodshed and Christ sacrifice for humanity as
• 9:31
  well as his own absolute purity the Pope
• 9:35
  criticized the US Israel attack against Iran and
• 9:39
  described Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization as
• 9:45
  Truly unacceptable now.
• 9:47
  I'm not the Pope, but I agree.
• 9:49
  That's truly unacceptable for Israel to Destroy a
• 9:55
  civilization which is what they're doing and for
• 9:58
  the u.s. To say he's gonna do
• 10:00
  the thing and and create a threat against
• 10:03
  the entire people.
• 10:04
  What happened to saving them?
• 10:07
  What happened?
• 10:08
  Oh gee, we're gonna save the people of
• 10:11
  Iran from themselves and their terrible leadership.
• 10:13
  What happened to that?
• 10:15
  US president Described himself as a non-denominational
• 10:19
  Christian also stated we don't like a Pope
• 10:23
  that's going to say it's okay to have
• 10:25
  a nuclear weapon Well, we have nuclear weapons
• 10:28
  you was those what's Pope think about that?
• 10:31
  The Trump said is it okay for us
• 10:33
  to have a nuclear weapon?
• 10:35
  I?
• 10:36
  Truly there's no equality of nations every the
• 10:40
  only thing that we have to go on
• 10:42
  here in America.
• 10:42
  Apparently is saying that Everybody else since you're
• 10:48
  not us you're nothing and that's what we
• 10:51
  do and and we say, you know a
• 10:53
  sovereign country Screw you you're not sovereign.
• 10:56
  We tell you who's sovereign.
• 10:57
  We are England in You know when the
• 11:01
  Americans the the colonists Departed for brighter shores
• 11:07
  in America and didn't want the tyranny You
• 11:10
  think you think Iran wants us there?
• 11:13
  I Think they're inviting us in with open
• 11:16
  arms.
• 11:17
  They want some Trump.
• 11:18
  Give me some Trump I want that and
• 11:21
  we won't be what are we fighting for
• 11:23
  if?
• 11:24
  We're not fighting for the people of Iran
• 11:29
  Which was what was alleged at first we're
• 11:31
  gonna decapitate these guys and then we're gonna
• 11:33
  be fighting for the people of Iran Usually
• 11:36
  it's we're fighting for democracy and that was
• 11:39
  BS too, but Now We're just straight up
• 11:44
  about it.
• 11:45
  We're gonna destroy your civilization been around 5
• 11:48
  ,000 years.
• 11:49
  We're gonna destroy it You know, we're gonna
• 11:51
  make you martyrs by the way the Shias
• 11:53
  they like being martyrs They want to be
• 11:56
  martyrs it to them.
• 11:57
  That's a glory.
• 11:58
  That's Glorious.
• 12:00
  Okay, but too many that's glorious.
• 12:02
  I mean I'm against death certainly my own
• 12:06
  I'm against it all but to die defending
• 12:09
  something you believe in I There's worse ways
• 12:14
  to go, you know senseless mindless Destruction that
• 12:21
  is crap.
• 12:22
  I'd prefer not to go that way, you
• 12:24
  know If I'm gonna go I'd like it
• 12:26
  to be doing something.
• 12:27
  I appreciate I'd like it to be doing
• 12:29
  something I believe in and not going over
• 12:33
  and destroying Another culture.
• 12:36
  I think that's crap and it's just wrong
• 12:40
  And so and for Trump to talk like
• 12:42
  that is truly Offensive to me and it
• 12:45
  should be offensive to a lot of the
• 12:47
  people and by the way, I think it
• 12:48
  is I think after you know, he supported
• 12:51
  Orban.
• 12:52
  Okay, he Sent JD Vance over there to
• 12:55
  pump Orban in his last minutes Do you
• 12:57
  think that helped?
• 12:58
  With what Iran is going through right now
• 13:00
  and what Europe is going through because of
• 13:02
  it right now what the freaking world is
• 13:05
  Going through because of it people can't afford
• 13:07
  gas.
• 13:08
  Who do they blame Trump?
• 13:09
  So you send somebody over as Trump to
• 13:11
  go and do it to go and support
• 13:13
  his guy You know, I want him to
• 13:16
  support Lindsey Graham because I think if anything
• 13:18
  it'll take Lindsey Graham down I mean that'll
• 13:20
  never happen because our system is such that
• 13:23
  people like Graham control it and There are
• 13:26
  a lot of people saying that there's gonna
• 13:29
  be interference in our own elections, and I'm
• 13:30
  not an expert on that I know the
• 13:32
  JRS has has interesting point of view on
• 13:35
  that and I like listening to him and
• 13:37
  So anyway to Trump finished up by saying
• 13:40
  I'm not a fan of Pope Leo The
• 13:45
  governor Newsom posted something in return did you
• 13:48
  see it with the the with Trump in
• 13:53
  a black cloak with make America great hat
• 13:57
  on very skinny bony looking arms Epstein looking
• 14:01
  over his shoulder and he's got a They
• 14:06
  could they caught what do they call him
• 14:08
  a side well, it's a sickle of some
• 14:10
  sort but but I think the the instrument
• 14:13
  itself is called a side, but I don't
• 14:14
  remember and but whatever the the grim reaper
• 14:18
  carries around so Trump's to grim reaper and
• 14:21
  Mark Kelly was quick to condemn.
• 14:23
  He's a Democrat Condemn the remarks and he
• 14:26
  said as a Catholic, and I'm not a
• 14:28
  Catholic and I still find it abhorrent But
• 14:30
  he says as a Catholic I find it
• 14:33
  abhorrent that the president United States would publicly
• 14:36
  attack the successor of st.
• 14:38
  Peter Kelly wrote on X Donald Trump is
• 14:42
  flailing His war in Iran has led to
• 14:47
  the death and injury of American service members
• 14:49
  and the death of Iranian children now I
• 14:52
  believe both those things And I also believe
• 14:55
  that Donald Trump is flailing right now the
• 14:58
  blockades of the ports of Iran the blockades
• 15:01
  of the of the Hormuz Strait, he doesn't
• 15:04
  get it yet and You know, how quickly
• 15:08
  is that gonna turn around?
• 15:11
  the Economies of these places you think that
• 15:15
  nobody getting through is better than a trickle.
• 15:23
  I Far from accurate, by the way and
• 15:27
  Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green and former
• 15:32
  Trump ally said the president's post was more
• 15:35
  than Blasphemy.
• 15:37
  She called it the Antichrist spirit.
• 15:39
  Now have any of you noticed now I
• 15:41
  have And it saddens me it really does
• 15:46
  Trump attacked in a rant of Ungodly proportion,
• 15:52
  I believe it was on Saturday this long
• 15:57
  Hardened to read difficult to comprehend Diatribe about
• 16:04
  the evils of a number of his former
• 16:07
  allies if you pissed the man off you're
• 16:11
  suddenly an idiot a moron worth nothing if
• 16:14
  you tell him what you believe to be
• 16:16
  the truth and He disagrees with it You
• 16:21
  are worse than Nishito's Istva, which is absolute
• 16:25
  nothingness You're you're a nichito's Istva nothing and
• 16:30
  and so low you can't even reach up
• 16:33
  and touch the bottom You're so low that
• 16:35
  you could play handball against the curb.
• 16:38
  You are Low, you are despicable and disgusting
• 16:41
  and that is how he treats former allies
• 16:46
  I always used to tell people when I
• 16:48
  was practicing law that you can always tell
• 16:51
  a Person who really did love their Ex
• 16:56
  spouse if they don't treat them poorly Okay.
• 17:01
  Now you can say bad things about about
• 17:03
  your ex-spouse.
• 17:04
  I've got several that I Wish I was
• 17:07
  aware of when I married them Things that
• 17:11
  I wish I had known but I don't
• 17:13
  blame them.
• 17:13
  I blame me for not finding out first
• 17:16
  and they all had their huge strong points
• 17:19
  and I try hard not to destroy them
• 17:23
  The first one in particular was a raven
• 17:26
  nut job, but she was awesome you know,
• 17:29
  there was great things about that woman and
• 17:32
  we had some very very good times in
• 17:34
  my youth you don't take people that you
• 17:37
  once thought highly of and Turn them into
• 17:41
  the Antichrist.
• 17:42
  You can disagree you can disengage You can
• 17:45
  even do what many people do and cut
• 17:48
  them off forever and just say you know
• 17:50
  what I don't want this person in my
• 17:52
  life anymore because in reality it is you
• 17:57
  that is supposed to Create your own form
• 18:03
  of happiness and Be free to create that
• 18:07
  form of happiness as you like and if
• 18:10
  you're no longer happy Something needs to be
• 18:12
  done about that.
• 18:13
  If you can't make yourself happy, you know,
• 18:16
  I had a relationship somebody once said Oh,
• 18:18
  you know, you don't even try to make
• 18:20
  me happy.
• 18:21
  I said who am I to make you
• 18:22
  happy?
• 18:23
  It's not that's not my job I'm supposed
• 18:27
  to be happy and you're supposed to be
• 18:29
  happy and we're supposed to share each other's
• 18:32
  happiness But we because there's more happiness between
• 18:37
  the two of us You know put two
• 18:40
  put two pots of two glasses of happiness
• 18:43
  together, right let's say it's five milliliters in
• 18:47
  each Tube you got five milliliters if you
• 18:50
  pour my happiness into your happiness something wonderful
• 18:53
  happens There's really a hell of a lot
• 18:55
  more than ten milliliters of happiness because your
• 18:59
  happiness it grows better And then that's really
• 19:02
  weird to put together But that's what I
• 19:03
  freaking believe and and I don't believe that
• 19:06
  it's my job to make anyone happy It's
• 19:09
  my job to make my except myself.
• 19:11
  It's my job to make myself happy and
• 19:13
  attempt to share that happiness with others.
• 19:15
  That's it I mean, what more do you
• 19:17
  want in the world for God's sake and
• 19:19
  Trump sees it totally different He thinks that
• 19:21
  if you disagree with someone sometimes disagreements the
• 19:24
  right answer, by the way, and he does
• 19:27
  not want any disagreement and Trumpers the truly
• 19:31
  truly Trumpers that they they agree with that.
• 19:34
  They think that's how it's supposed to be
• 19:36
  You can't you can't say anything bad I
• 19:39
  was a little surprised also over the weekend
• 19:42
  and this this leads me to believe some
• 19:45
  things are not going as Planned and this
• 19:49
  is probably the biggest thing for me.
• 19:52
  It struck me as so odd that I
• 20:00
  It makes me begin to believe that something
• 20:03
  like this will make you believe the Sniping
• 20:07
  from the sides that say that Trump's got
• 20:10
  something really big that he's trying hard to
• 20:13
  hide Because there have been a lot of
• 20:15
  people over the last week say including Tucker
• 20:17
  Carlson said something That Trump has something truly
• 20:21
  horror truly Maybe it's not even horrible, but
• 20:25
  it's horrible to himself according to them to
• 20:27
  hide and if anything would make me believe
• 20:30
  that it's not the commentary of Tucker Carlson
• 20:32
  or Alex Jones or any of these people
• 20:35
  that Trump now hates instead of you know
• 20:38
  before loved and and he It is this
• 20:44
  Melania Trump, and if you haven't seen it,
• 20:46
  you should watch it.
• 20:47
  She made a surprise Epstein video statement and
• 20:52
  I'm not gonna play it for you But
• 20:54
  you should you should go out and watch
• 20:57
  it, and if anything that was an alarm
• 21:00
  bell to me That things are certainly amiss,
• 21:03
  and they went out of their way to
• 21:05
  report that Trump didn't know about it Before
• 21:09
  it occurred and that it was a surprise
• 21:11
  statement that she did it through her own
• 21:13
  press office press secretary Whatever she does, and
• 21:16
  I don't know I haven't really dug into
• 21:18
  it that much, but I did watch the
• 21:20
  video and Truthfully I've never seen her Speak
• 21:26
  publicly about much before because that she doesn't
• 21:31
  take that role really People don't follow her
• 21:35
  that much I'm not saying that everybody follows
• 21:38
  her But they don't hang on her every
• 21:40
  word now way back when when people were
• 21:43
  trying to destroy Barbara Bush or Nancy Reagan
• 21:46
  You know that happened or even Michelle Obama
• 21:49
  They would they would follow him around and
• 21:51
  listen to their every word well you don't
• 21:53
  really see that as much with Melania because
• 21:55
  she's so Unapproachable not unapproachable unattackable.
• 22:01
  You know she's she's just She you know
• 22:04
  by all accounts She's a political and she's
• 22:07
  a very good person the great mother all
• 22:10
  the things that you would want in a
• 22:11
  Fantastically beautiful woman like that so while some
• 22:15
  users are scrambling to defend Trump Insisting that
• 22:19
  his latest post did not offend Christian worshipers
• 22:23
  I'll tell you what I consider myself Christian
• 22:25
  regardless of the non-denominational Status I have
• 22:29
  and it offended me.
• 22:30
  It's nuts.
• 22:31
  It's BS to put who the hell you
• 22:33
  think you are Apparently he thinks he's God
• 22:36
  At least the God Emperor I can't imagine
• 22:40
  he hasn't taken my title yet You know
• 22:42
  we're changing the names of the War Department
• 22:45
  Maybe Hegseth could be the God of War
• 22:48
  Other people wonder whether the bedridden fixture figure
• 22:52
  was Jeffrey Epstein.
• 22:53
  We just wonder you know it's Strange a
• 22:59
  mixed up muddled up shook up world that
• 23:03
  is for sure I Want to tell you
• 23:08
  what my belief is on what happens after
• 23:11
  this Blockade okay, let's say Let's say that
• 23:17
  the the blockade goes on now lots of
• 23:19
  people are up in arms about this think
• 23:21
  about this China think about who are we
• 23:25
  trying to beat up the most on okay?
• 23:27
  And who by the way is this affecting
• 23:29
  the least okay?
• 23:30
  It is gonna affect China.
• 23:31
  It is affecting India It's affecting people that
• 23:35
  we really don't want it to affect It's
• 23:38
  it's it's forcing some activity, and it's fat
• 23:43
  affecting it much much much much more than
• 23:47
  Trump believed it would in the beginning the
• 23:50
  economy of the world is on fire and
• 23:55
  It is not gonna end well there are
• 23:58
  countries already Empty have no no fuel nothing
• 24:03
  they are pricing it is so expensive There
• 24:07
  are protests all over Europe their protests Europe's
• 24:11
  got it really bad because they can only
• 24:12
  buy the stuff from us Where else they
• 24:14
  can't get it through Straits of Hormuz?
• 24:16
  They they you're not gonna get it through
• 24:18
  the Suez Canal because people are gonna block
• 24:20
  that they're not gonna get it through the
• 24:22
  Red Sea they're not gonna get it through
• 24:23
  the Black Sea They're not gonna get it
• 24:25
  through the Mediterranean because I'm telling you things
• 24:27
  are really going to hell in a handbasket
• 24:30
  fast economically and We aren't an isolated a
• 24:36
  pillar of hope in America financially our GDP
• 24:41
  was adjusted down to 0.24 or something
• 24:44
  like that from last year was 4.0
• 24:47
  and it's going down and You know everybody
• 24:51
  wants to say Trump is gonna repair the
• 24:53
  economy and fix all the stuff I and
• 24:55
  and you know what I was for it
• 24:57
  But I believe he's lost the path and
• 25:00
  and and he certainly doesn't have a path
• 25:01
  I was for a few of the things
• 25:03
  that he was doing I was never totally
• 25:05
  for terrorists and his international policy And I
• 25:08
  didn't think they would work the way he
• 25:09
  wanted and then when the Supreme Court overturned
• 25:12
  them he it is really created a a
• 25:15
  big problem and Remember what we're trying to
• 25:18
  do right now with the Straits of Hormuz
• 25:20
  what the war really is and what Iran
• 25:24
  is pushing so the Straits of Hormuz or
• 25:27
  how many miles across 21 at the widest
• 25:31
  point 21 miles across and Oman's on one
• 25:35
  side Iran's on the other okay at this
• 25:38
  narrowest point It's full of mines their paths
• 25:42
  that you have to get through The there
• 25:44
  are no warships American warships in the area
• 25:47
  and Where are they gonna block them fun?
• 25:50
  You know why the American warships and destroyers
• 25:52
  won't go in there because it's only 21
• 25:55
  miles across Not gonna go in there certainly
• 25:59
  not during a time war.
• 26:01
  They're not gonna go in there because They
• 26:04
  know that they're that their defenses against a
• 26:08
  mass swarm of drones Isn't what it ought
• 26:13
  to be and what are they gonna do
• 26:15
  should have guys on the on the on
• 26:17
  the aircraft carrier Shooting them out of the
• 26:20
  sky with with guns they don't have the
• 26:24
  ability to take them all down at once
• 26:26
  and it's a logistical portion mostly it's a
• 26:31
  Defensible it's it's not a defensible position to
• 26:34
  send in American destroyers American Fighter Jets on
• 26:46
  Platforms you know floating floating platforms It's it's
• 26:50
  not a good deal And I told you
• 26:52
  before about Iranian subs the little mini subs
• 26:55
  that are they're not virtually undetectable, but they're
• 26:58
  very hard to find When you get there
• 27:00
  And so now the block at the block
• 27:04
  of the Straits of Hormuz Blocks off gas
• 27:06
  to the rest of the world from the
• 27:08
  most vital portion of the world that needs
• 27:11
  to supply it And Trump's doing that okay,
• 27:16
  so you cut it off already the trickles
• 27:18
  are only going into certain countries and Trump
• 27:20
  You know he's free to blockade wherever he
• 27:23
  wants according to himself.
• 27:24
  He's blocking Venezuela he's blocking Cuba now.
• 27:28
  He's blocking Hormuz.
• 27:30
  He wants to block every port in Iran
• 27:32
  He wants to do all these things and
• 27:34
  the the fight is because those That are
• 27:40
  being allowed through are paying Iran in Yuan
• 27:45
  the Chinese currency all of the Shipping that
• 27:49
  is coming out of there is being paid
• 27:51
  for in Chinese currency This is going to
• 27:54
  tank the US markets, which it's already done
• 27:56
  in the in that regard, and it's going
• 27:59
  to get worse And you know Russia is
• 28:04
  now finishing is just finished recently Russia right
• 28:09
  now, it's it's finishing up the final touches
• 28:12
  right now.
• 28:12
  They're finishing a new pipeline to China right
• 28:16
  now Construction will end this year with gas
• 28:19
  flow liquid natural gas beginning in January of
• 28:23
  27 and That one pipe is why Europe
• 28:26
  is paying triple prices for energy Why the
• 28:29
  US dollar is getting pushed a shot aside
• 28:32
  and why China is solving one of its
• 28:35
  own biggest Energy nightmares right what is actually
• 28:39
  being built here is the far eastern route?
• 28:43
  pipeline from Sakhalin Islands to Northeast China Construction
• 28:47
  will finish in 2026 the pipe will carry
• 28:51
  12 billion Cubic meters of gas a year
• 28:56
  Originally, it was only 10 billion Russia and
• 29:00
  China agreed to boost capacity by 20%
• 29:04
  Why?
• 29:06
  Because China asked that's why Two state giants
• 29:12
  one of them is Russia's Gazprom and The
• 29:15
  other one is China's National Petroleum Corporation That
• 29:20
  runs the side in China two giants 12
• 29:24
  billion cubic meters is huge, but the real
• 29:27
  story is a little bit different than that
• 29:29
  The pipeline is the smallest piece smallest piece
• 29:34
  of a much Larger machine the far eastern
• 29:38
  route is only the warm-up round Because
• 29:41
  behind the far eastern route sits power of
• 29:44
  Siberia one now I've been following this one
• 29:47
  for a while power of Siberia one is
• 29:50
  already pumping 38.8 billion cubic meters per
• 29:55
  year to China 800 million above what Russia
• 30:01
  was Was originally going to provide and it's
• 30:05
  at full capacity every single day of Every
• 30:09
  single year and there's power of Siberia to
• 30:13
  that they signed late last year I did
• 30:15
  an entire program on it for you power
• 30:19
  of Siberia to was well, I think they
• 30:21
  signed it in August September something like that
• 30:24
  and That one is gonna be 50 billion
• 30:28
  cubic meters per year, and it will cross
• 30:31
  Mongolia to get to China so Mongolia will
• 30:34
  get some out of there, too Excuse me,
• 30:37
  and that's a beautiful area down there by
• 30:39
  the way 4,000 kilometers of pipe Construction
• 30:44
  is started already in the far eastern route
• 30:48
  12 billion power of Siberia 3 38.8
• 30:52
  billion right power of Siberia to 50 billion
• 30:56
  by the early 2030s Russia will be sending
• 31:00
  China over 100 billion cubic meters annually That's
• 31:07
  the same volume Russia used to send to
• 31:10
  Europe Before the Ukraine war nice and cheap
• 31:14
  good gas and the end and through Ukraine
• 31:17
  Ukraine made Piles of money off it Ukraine
• 31:20
  doesn't have its own gas.
• 31:21
  They have to get it from US as
• 31:24
  well This is foolishness on everybody's count you're
• 31:27
  gonna pay triple What you got Europe cut
• 31:30
  off Russian gas Russia turned to the east
• 31:33
  and found a bigger hungrier customer and by
• 31:35
  the way, they're they're they're Dealing with India
• 31:39
  as well They're shifting totally Southeast Asia with
• 31:42
  their energy needs because Southeast Asia Trump tries
• 31:46
  to cut off from the Straits of Hormuz
• 31:48
  because he don't want him paying in bricks
• 31:50
  currency Which is the yuan basically or the
• 31:53
  the ruble half of Russia's?
• 31:57
  Funds are paid to them in ruble half
• 31:59
  are paid in the rupee I'm sorry that
• 32:02
  if it comes from India and from China
• 32:04
  it comes from the yuan and so that
• 32:06
  you know Here's here's why the customer China
• 32:11
  is is hungry anyway, you know, they're they
• 32:15
  have the largest Industrial capacity on the planet
• 32:20
  which we helped formulate 70% of child's
• 32:24
  oil imports pass through one narrow strait that
• 32:28
  that's controlled by who the US Navy That's
• 32:32
  a nightmare for China, right?
• 32:33
  That's a Chinese problem Because they don't like
• 32:38
  it they don't like that they don't want
• 32:40
  to be controlled by the United States and
• 32:43
  so they're not but that nightmare China saw
• 32:46
  as a vulnerability And so most of its
• 32:50
  imported energy arrived by sea 70% of
• 32:55
  its crude passes through the Straits of Malacca
• 32:57
  That's a narrow the one I was trying
• 33:00
  to remember the other day between Malaysia and
• 33:02
  Indonesia to get to their 70% and
• 33:06
  if the US Navy ever decides to block
• 33:08
  that straight China's economy will grind to a
• 33:10
  halt Factories and close military to be out
• 33:13
  of fuel prices will spike Chinese officials call
• 33:17
  this the Malacca dilemma and they've called it
• 33:20
  that for more than 20 years land-based
• 33:23
  pipelines between Russia and China Eliminate that risk
• 33:28
  so a pipe buried in the ground Delivering
• 33:31
  gas every single day.
• 33:34
  That's why Russia's gas matters more than the
• 33:36
  price.
• 33:37
  It's about national ability to Diversify to have
• 33:44
  oil right now Russia's gas makes up only
• 33:48
  20% of China's total gas imports, but
• 33:53
  when Siberia to power of Siberia to is
• 33:57
  Online the numbers gonna go way up China
• 34:00
  will get more energy security and Russia gets
• 34:03
  a pretty much a captive audience and the
• 34:06
  u.s. Notably Loses what?
• 34:10
  Dollars that it used to get from Beijing,
• 34:12
  but mostly it loses its most powerful lever
• 34:18
  over Beijing What about the sides that Europe
• 34:22
  that walked away from Russian gas completely?
• 34:26
  Same thing happens to them.
• 34:28
  China's busy locking in cheap gas and Europe
• 34:31
  made a very different choice Very different before
• 34:35
  the Ukraine war Russia supplied 40% of
• 34:38
  Europe's gas 40% Today that number is
• 34:43
  13% They say that next year it's
• 34:45
  only gonna be 5% and it's gonna
• 34:48
  be blocked off for good in 2027 they're
• 34:51
  banning all Russian pipeline gas by September 2027
• 34:55
  which has been going on since the Soviet
• 34:57
  era These huge pipelines built from before and
• 35:01
  that now so Turkey gets it through Turk
• 35:03
  stream.
• 35:04
  There's another stream I forget the name of
• 35:06
  it that goes through to cover places like
• 35:09
  Serbia and places like that to come up
• 35:11
  through Greece So Europe is instead.
• 35:14
  What are they doing?
• 35:15
  They're buying American liquid natural gas shipped across
• 35:19
  the Atlantic and it's very expensive in early
• 35:25
  2025 the EU paid an average of a
• 35:28
  euro and eight cents per cubic meter in
• 35:33
  2025 Russian LNG is Only 51 cents of
• 35:40
  that euro.
• 35:41
  So half a euro.
• 35:42
  So Europe is paying more than double in
• 35:48
  Europe as you know, that's more than double
• 35:50
  Europe is paying triple for the gas that
• 35:53
  China gets cheaper through a pipe And then
• 35:57
  they have to have it shipped which adds
• 35:59
  all kinds of costs.
• 36:01
  And so, you know Europeans they don't have
• 36:04
  any Manufacturing competitiveness.
• 36:07
  They're shutting down Volkswagen factories after you know
• 36:12
  70 years or whatever it was Meanwhile Russia
• 36:17
  Hasn't felt any loss at all Just shifted
• 36:21
  to another market and they already replaced Europe
• 36:24
  with a much bigger customer And but the
• 36:26
  real war is not over the gas It's
• 36:28
  over the money that they use to buy
• 36:30
  it Because all of the stuff that they
• 36:33
  the reason for this Europe says well Russia
• 36:36
  needs our dollars They have to have our
• 36:38
  dollars or they're gonna they're gonna fail miserably
• 36:41
  Russia's.
• 36:42
  No, not really We get the yuan they
• 36:45
  have their own payment mechanisms and I'm telling
• 36:47
  you people are flocking to these payment mechanisms
• 36:49
  I've been saying it forever Some people are
• 36:53
  saying it's gonna cause the the dollar and
• 36:55
  the world market to collapse and who's gonna
• 36:57
  step in to save it It isn't gonna
• 36:58
  be the u.s Because nobody's gonna lay
• 37:00
  on us any money and we're not gonna
• 37:02
  be able to borrow anymore We already dropped
• 37:04
  to a double a rating instead of a
• 37:05
  triple a So where are we gonna get
• 37:08
  it in a way when we get it?
• 37:09
  It's gonna cost us more.
• 37:10
  What are we gonna do?
• 37:11
  We're gonna print more.
• 37:12
  What does that cause inflation and it's gonna
• 37:14
  it's not gonna be good.
• 37:16
  People are frightened over this economically, you know,
• 37:19
  I'm I'm not happy with it.
• 37:23
  You know, there's some real this this is
• 37:25
  nonsense These pipelines are priced only in yuan
• 37:30
  and rubles no dollars involved What's happening with
• 37:35
  Russian payments and gas flowing to China it's
• 37:38
  paid for in 50% rubles and 50
• 37:40
  % yuan Not a single u.s. Dollar
• 37:43
  goes through that transaction Across all Russia and
• 37:47
  China trade not just gas now over 95
• 37:50
  % Bypasses the dollar completely they have built
• 37:54
  their own payment system their own banks and
• 37:57
  their own rules their own insurance Companies, why
• 38:00
  do you think London is so up in
• 38:02
  arms about this and everybody's pissed off at
• 38:04
  Russia?
• 38:05
  Because they're not even buying insurance through Lloyd's
• 38:08
  London anymore the only people that used to
• 38:10
  be able to insure international shipping were Lloyd's
• 38:13
  London and Now now what well some in
• 38:16
  New York too, but not anymore There's insurance
• 38:20
  being provided by others, but they won't accept
• 38:21
  them at their ports There's all kinds of
• 38:24
  fights in this area on the economics.
• 38:26
  Trust me this war that we're seeing with
• 38:28
  Iran It has nothing to do with wanting
• 38:31
  to liquidate the Iranian people It has to
• 38:33
  do with them Trump wanting to steal their
• 38:35
  oil and make them submit just like he
• 38:38
  is try to do in Venezuela, which long
• 38:41
  -term isn't gonna work either, but you know,
• 38:44
  it's It's all over the dollar hegemony, which
• 38:49
  is dying.
• 38:49
  I've been saying it, you know for a
• 38:52
  long time That the dollar is is it's
• 38:55
  not it's not gonna die It'll always be
• 38:57
  a currency and it'll take a long time
• 38:59
  to get us there, but it's coming, you
• 39:02
  know It's it's certainly coming people aren't gonna
• 39:05
  put up with this.
• 39:06
  They're just not and They're not gonna put
• 39:08
  up with Lindsey Graham saying you got a
• 39:11
  fight for democracy in Ukraine when we know
• 39:13
  it's not about democracy They aren't gonna accept
• 39:16
  the lies anymore Somebody has finally been put
• 39:18
  to task and have been said to put
• 39:20
  up or shut up and most of people
• 39:22
  are putting up They're they're going well fine.
• 39:25
  Screw you then We're not gonna trade in
• 39:28
  dollars if at all possible and by the
• 39:30
  way, it's not just people that are Unfriendly
• 39:34
  towards us.
• 39:35
  It's friends, too They're diversifying all over Europe
• 39:40
  They're diversifying in Turkey Canada diversifying and are
• 39:44
  they using US dollars not always So now
• 39:48
  China and Russia have built an off-ramp
• 39:51
  from this system China gets cheap energy Russia
• 39:54
  gets paid and the US dollar is being
• 39:56
  squeezed out of the world's largest energy deal
• 40:02
  Nobody else has a deal this huge Nobody,
• 40:07
  this is the largest energy deal.
• 40:11
  And so where does this leave America's own?
• 40:14
  Energy ambitions because guess what the United States
• 40:17
  just spent billions Betting that China would keep
• 40:21
  buying gas from us and that bed is
• 40:24
  falling apart America has built massive LNG export
• 40:29
  terminals That thinking they were gonna sell it
• 40:32
  to China and China just is stopping to
• 40:35
  buy about stopped buying it Let's look at
• 40:39
  that the numbers in the first eight months
• 40:41
  of 2025 China's LNG imports dropped from the
• 40:46
  US dropped 18 percent Why?
• 40:50
  Because Russian pipeline gas is cheaper and arrives
• 40:54
  over land US currently supplies only about 5
• 41:00
  % of China's LNG That number is about
• 41:05
  to fall even further the Far Eastern route
• 41:07
  alone adds 12 billion cubic meters per year
• 41:11
  power of Serbia will add another 50 billion
• 41:14
  in that gas No longer has to be
• 41:17
  purchased by ship from America The LNG exporters
• 41:22
  spent a decade in billions of dollars building
• 41:25
  terminals Infrastructure and now they have to sell
• 41:28
  it all to Europe.
• 41:29
  They were betting on Chinese demand and their
• 41:32
  business but the Russian pipelines are undercutting them
• 41:35
  on price and delivery a ship from the
• 41:38
  Gulf Coast takes a month to reach China
• 41:41
  a Pipeline gas is delivered in days cheaper
• 41:46
  faster Unblockable by the Navy so you got
• 41:50
  to do a direct attack on one of
• 41:52
  them or the other of them to destroy
• 41:54
  their supply So the US LNG boom was
• 41:59
  built on the assumption that China is going
• 42:01
  to keep on buying it and that assumption
• 42:03
  is now wrong But here's the twist with
• 42:06
  that even if this even with all this
• 42:09
  leverage Russia isn't In China aren't rushing so,
• 42:15
  you know, they they signed this agreement in
• 42:18
  September 25 But China is still trying to
• 42:20
  push Russia further and get a better price
• 42:22
  Russia has other other customers Turkey Central Asia
• 42:26
  global LNG China has other suppliers to Qatar
• 42:30
  Australia Turkmenistan There are two large economies trying
• 42:34
  to fight this off and power of Siberia
• 42:36
  one is flowing at record levels Power of
• 42:39
  Siberia two is on its way and they've
• 42:43
  agreed to the route upon Mongolia All right,
• 42:49
  sir, how may I help you this morning?
• 42:54
  You have to turn me down Are you
• 43:01
  with me?
• 43:04
  Hello?
• 43:07
  Thank you.
• 43:08
  I Can hear you what's going on?
• 43:12
  Oh Hey, I don't I don't know that
• 43:15
  it'll take forever for the dollar to be
• 43:18
  worthless if I didn't say the dollar would
• 43:20
  be worth.
• 43:21
  That's not what I said.
• 43:22
  I didn't say the dollar would be worthless.
• 43:24
  I said it's Possibility that happens pretty fast.
• 43:29
  Well, I I think we're we're headed toward
• 43:32
  a huge correction.
• 43:33
  That's what I think if there's if there's
• 43:38
  lots of quote dollars and and Everybody with
• 43:44
  big assets is is trying to get away
• 43:47
  from the dollar then only one stuck with
• 43:50
  just dollars is Poor people.
• 43:53
  Well, that's right.
• 43:54
  It's the u.s. And and people aren't
• 43:57
  buying you as anything to produce no, if
• 44:00
  we don't have anything to produce or any
• 44:02
  commodities to sell or or Any services to
• 44:07
  provide no that you know, and this this
• 44:10
  is why way back when I've I was
• 44:13
  always Pretty much pro Trump at least nationally
• 44:19
  Because he was starting to look inward and
• 44:22
  not try to control the rest of the
• 44:24
  world trying to develop our Capacity because we're
• 44:27
  one of only two countries in the world
• 44:30
  that can basically supply all of our own
• 44:33
  energy And all of our own needs internally
• 44:37
  not without a refineries Well, well, I agree,
• 44:40
  but I all I mean is resource wise
• 44:43
  resource wise Resources Remember him saying we have
• 44:49
  we have our own lumber, but we don't
• 44:51
  have lumber we have trees Wood gets gets
• 44:55
  processed before it gets sold.
• 44:57
  You know, I'm saying we don't we don't
• 44:59
  have tire factories We can't We can't isolate
• 45:05
  If we don't have any any electronics or
• 45:08
  any any tires or any gas refineries or
• 45:12
  right, we've diversified everything out of the country
• 45:15
  and But what I what my point was
• 45:18
  is that Trump when he was running for
• 45:20
  office Said that it's time to bring that
• 45:23
  back when I when I think about and
• 45:25
  I'm not one of the MAGA guys that
• 45:27
  runs around Wearing a hat.
• 45:28
  I don't do that.
• 45:29
  But when they talked about make America great
• 45:32
  I was always pretty much for the concept
• 45:35
  of bringing Manufacturing and industrial capacity back to
• 45:39
  the United States because we've exported it all
• 45:42
  over the world all of our auto manufacturing
• 45:45
  basically went to Mexico all of our manufacturing
• 45:51
  manufacturing went to China and and Vietnam wherever
• 45:56
  all our textiles are all way over so
• 45:58
  we don't have anything Sir, my my point
• 46:01
  is my point is if if you're gonna
• 46:03
  make America if you're intent if you're Earnest
• 46:07
  in your intentions you you set it up
• 46:09
  first.
• 46:10
  You see what I'm saying?
• 46:12
  Mm-hmm Yeah, well, we may be too
• 46:15
  late for that.
• 46:16
  You could be right in 2015 when he
• 46:18
  said that he was gonna make America great
• 46:21
  again.
• 46:22
  I Knew right away.
• 46:23
  He started off with he liked Tax loopholes
• 46:27
  and he was gonna do he's gonna give
• 46:29
  us trickle-down and I was like, oh
• 46:31
  hell here we go and so My idea
• 46:35
  make America great again is there should be
• 46:37
  a lot of concrete factories people building heavy
• 46:41
  equipment for roads You know steel factory see
• 46:45
  I've had similar Commentary on that because the
• 46:49
  rest of the world through China and China's
• 46:51
  belts and roads has been building Infrastructure and
• 46:56
  and they've been building infrastructure between Countries and
• 47:00
  we got nothing here.
• 47:01
  We can't build a road from from anywhere
• 47:04
  You know a high-speed rail, you know
• 47:07
  can't do it and everywhere else the world
• 47:09
  is doing it right now China's steel industry
• 47:15
  they produce 35 times what we do and
• 47:18
  they have all kinds of super alloys and
• 47:20
  stuff I know and China has has two
• 47:26
  Two parts of the economy.
• 47:28
  They have a private economy and then they
• 47:30
  have stuff they consider Vital interests right state
• 47:33
  state-run interest a huge and in the
• 47:37
  country Invest money in that stuff and what
• 47:42
  I keep telling people around here is you
• 47:44
  can't expect a private company To organize and
• 47:49
  good enough to Compete against China and everybody
• 47:54
  else they have to in plus plus the
• 47:57
  rest of the market You still insane?
• 47:59
  I I see exactly what you're saying.
• 48:00
  And by the way, you're absolutely correct and
• 48:03
  That I've said similar things for months is
• 48:07
  that you can disagree with how China is
• 48:10
  run how Russia is run But one thing
• 48:12
  you can't disagree with is that they have
• 48:14
  state protected interests I talked earlier in this
• 48:17
  program about Gazprom and the Chinese national refineries
• 48:23
  That that have this gas companies that these
• 48:26
  two work for themselves, but these those aren't
• 48:28
  private Organizations trying to make a profit those
• 48:31
  are government run Industries that pay very well
• 48:36
  that have tons of engineers that are very
• 48:38
  highly capitalized but they're capitalized by the government
• 48:42
  and And the government decides how that money
• 48:46
  will work so that you don't have 20
• 48:49
  different competing I'm not saying capitalism bad Communism
• 48:53
  good.
• 48:53
  That's not what I'm saying.
• 48:54
  But there's a there's I'm not saying anything
• 48:57
  like that But we are recognizing right now
• 49:00
  in America that all of the things that
• 49:04
  we want High-speed rail huge ports new
• 49:08
  airports everywhere are not really at an optimum
• 49:12
  Capacity for our system Because our system is
• 49:17
  so fractured and and state rights is what
• 49:20
  it is So we don't have one global
• 49:22
  thing and so very good points.
• 49:25
  I thank you all right, what end uh,
• 49:30
  so Trump says We're probably gonna need 1
• 49:33
  .5 trillion next year.
• 49:35
  Yeah, that's no but nobody nobody bad in
• 49:38
  the eyeball No, no, and that's that's a
• 49:41
  60% increment It's a hundred and sixty
• 49:44
  percent increase because last year it was only
• 49:46
  a just under nine hundred thousand So you're
• 49:49
  gonna add six hundred that's sixty six percent
• 49:51
  on top of what you had last year
• 49:54
  And now by the way, they asked for
• 49:55
  another two hundred billion for Iran, and that's
• 49:57
  just the beginning Yeah, yeah, that was that
• 50:00
  was before that was before all this that
• 50:03
  was a month ago.
• 50:04
  He wanted 200 billion right now, right?
• 50:10
  This is not gonna end well, we're almost
• 50:13
  to 40 trillion and and and it's not
• 50:16
  gonna get smaller and by the way Nobody's
• 50:18
  buying American debt anymore except people were forcing
• 50:22
  to buy it Well, that's what I was
• 50:24
  saying is The dollar will come crashing down
• 50:28
  when it when it doesn't represent anything it's
• 50:31
  truly possible It's possible.
• 50:34
  I saw a couple of shows possible.
• 50:36
  Well, it's you might be right I still
• 50:39
  try to hold out some hope for the
• 50:40
  other and I listened to a Russian economist.
• 50:43
  What the hell was his name?
• 50:45
  It was a really good show and I
• 50:46
  actually have it here is one of my
• 50:48
  topics for today causing Mikhail causing and he's
• 50:52
  really good really smart guy and And I
• 50:55
  like listening to him and he talks about
• 50:57
  the global economic stuff Just like just like
• 51:00
  what we're doing right now only he's an
• 51:02
  econ now.
• 51:03
  I'm an economist I got an economics degree,
• 51:05
  but that don't mean anything This guy has
• 51:07
  worked in economics his entire life, right and
• 51:10
  he and I understand the concepts, but he
• 51:13
  he gets it You know, he's like a
• 51:15
  Jeffrey Sachs level but in Russia and he's
• 51:17
  a really smart guy and so he's talking
• 51:20
  about some of the exact same things that
• 51:23
  I Believe that the dollar is gonna stick
• 51:26
  her I mean dollars gonna be around forever
• 51:28
  just like the British pound which take took
• 51:30
  a beat and they switch to the euro
• 51:32
  then they switch back to the pound and
• 51:34
  all that there's there's These common things with
• 51:39
  all the debt are what's gonna kick our
• 51:41
  kick us right in the in the in
• 51:43
  the doodads And we're gonna be in in
• 51:46
  some trouble, but I don't think it's the
• 51:49
  end of the dollar that I don't think
• 51:51
  I think we go back to being a
• 51:52
  minor currency not back to we go back
• 51:55
  to being a regular world currency and people
• 51:58
  are gonna start because Everybody's recognized from all
• 52:00
  this Ukraine BS all this Iran now BS
• 52:04
  there.
• 52:04
  It's an even bigger lesson What's what the
• 52:07
  u.s. Is doing in Venezuela?
• 52:09
  It's that you cannot trust what America's gonna
• 52:11
  do because rules don't apply to us.
• 52:14
  We make them up as we go along
• 52:16
  and And we do whatever power does just
• 52:19
  like no, sorry to interrupt.
• 52:21
  Go ahead Yeah, well, yeah, I interrupted but
• 52:27
  I think most of the world's already known
• 52:29
  that I think I think the general population
• 52:32
  of America starting to start to figure they
• 52:35
  may be starting to figure it out that
• 52:37
  that we have been building our Economy on
• 52:40
  the backs of the rest of the world
• 52:42
  and that is ending.
• 52:44
  I very much appreciate your call.
• 52:45
  Thank you Have a good day And there
• 52:51
  he goes as they say on some channels
• 52:53
  in there are some shows on this very
• 52:56
  station So let's talk about that pipeline going
• 52:59
  through Mongolia though because for Mongolia that pipelines
• 53:02
  gonna mean what that's gonna mean some income
• 53:04
  for them Because they get transit they get
• 53:07
  what Ukraine used to get they get transit
• 53:09
  fees and they get a suck it off
• 53:10
  For themselves and Mongolia is not backward I
• 53:13
  haven't been there yet, but I've seen some
• 53:15
  beautiful things and I really wish to go
• 53:17
  I'm hoping so this year the India has
• 53:20
  the BRICS conference and I'm trying to figure
• 53:22
  that out it's in October and I really
• 53:24
  want to go and I'm setting that up.
• 53:27
  I got to get my press credentials Accepted
• 53:31
  by them And then I can go it's
• 53:34
  got to be through their foreign ministry or
• 53:35
  whatever and so far their instructions are pretty
• 53:38
  vague But I'm trying to set that up
• 53:40
  now because I think I don't want to
• 53:41
  say the BRICS is the answer to it
• 53:43
  all It's not but I am certainly wanting
• 53:45
  it's not even a defensive capability sort of
• 53:48
  thing or a joint.
• 53:49
  It's not a NATO It's more of an
• 53:51
  EU kind of thing spread around the world
• 53:53
  more of an economic grouping and these regional
• 53:58
  groupings are really gonna matter and BRICS is
• 54:00
  really gonna matter and the fact that China
• 54:02
  and the Shanghai cooperation organization and all of
• 54:05
  these two these two things are what you
• 54:08
  need to watch Shanghai cooperation and BRICS and
• 54:14
  There's some things to talk about in there,
• 54:17
  but the fact that US hegemony is ending
• 54:21
  I think is now generally accepted Okay now
• 54:26
  it wasn't when I first started spouting off
• 54:28
  about it several years ago and Which is
• 54:31
  what led me to his body When I
• 54:34
  heard that the BRICS conference was going to
• 54:36
  be in Russia.
• 54:37
  I'm telling you I was so excited about
• 54:39
  it It was about a year before so
• 54:41
  that that conference was in October of 2024
• 54:44
  and it was somewhere about a year and
• 54:47
  a half before that that I was in
• 54:49
  Russia during May of 2023 or something like
• 54:51
  that and when I first heard about it
• 54:54
  and that's when I first checked on their
• 54:56
  website to see if what was going to
• 54:58
  happen and that's when I first started taking
• 55:01
  a very big interest in BRICS and and
• 55:04
  hegemony and I'm a talker everybody knows it
• 55:08
  and so when I get in a room
• 55:10
  with a group of people and we get
• 55:12
  a talk a Politics or reality or things
• 55:15
  like that?
• 55:15
  I'll do it and I and I try
• 55:17
  hard not to condemn other people's points of
• 55:20
  view You're gonna have your points of view
• 55:21
  if it's an intelligent point of view.
• 55:23
  I'm on your side.
• 55:25
  I'm with you You know I may not
• 55:26
  agree with you, but I'm never gonna condemn
• 55:28
  you for it It's it's and I hope
• 55:30
  you don't condemn me because my beliefs different
• 55:32
  from yours That's just the way it is
• 55:34
  and you're not required to think like I
• 55:36
  am and Earl I do you know you
• 55:38
  don't have to do that but Watching all
• 55:41
  of this spread out and what what is
• 55:44
  happening is exactly what I said would happen
• 55:47
  Years ago before I went to the BRICS
• 55:50
  conference.
• 55:51
  I said you know on a big picture
• 55:55
  Strategic board where you have all your countries
• 55:59
  on the map And you watch about who's
• 56:00
  starting to deal with you who and why
• 56:03
  and why they're not dealing with other people
• 56:07
  You have to accept as a reality, and
• 56:11
  it's hard not to okay the u.s.
• 56:14
  If you want to do business with us,
• 56:16
  what do you get?
• 56:18
  Whether it's Donald Trump or anybody else if
• 56:20
  you want to do business with us.
• 56:22
  What do you get?
• 56:23
  You get arrogance you get well.
• 56:25
  We're America.
• 56:26
  You know you want to do business with
• 56:28
  us You're gonna have to concede X you
• 56:31
  want money from our World Bank.
• 56:33
  You're gonna have to do X You're gonna
• 56:34
  have to change this you're gonna have to
• 56:37
  Start to win It's funny because one of
• 56:40
  the biggest tools that we use at the
• 56:42
  World Bank in the International Monetary Fund are
• 56:45
  these Austerity measures we say look you have
• 56:53
  You know 10 million people on welfare That's
• 56:57
  a lot and we think you should lower
• 56:59
  that amount to 8 million or Lower the
• 57:02
  amount you give them from a thousand a
• 57:04
  month down to 800 you know whatever, but
• 57:06
  you need to lower that That's austerity you're
• 57:08
  giving away too much your your income to
• 57:11
  these losers You know people that why are
• 57:14
  you giving you all this we try to
• 57:16
  push them away from this the social programs
• 57:19
  and Put them into these so-called Austerity
• 57:23
  measures so that we can take more of
• 57:25
  their money and we've done that forever through
• 57:29
  the IMF and through the World Bank and
• 57:32
  through whoever's gonna give these people loans, and
• 57:35
  we don't give them We don't give them
• 57:38
  loans to build Infrastructure we give them loans
• 57:42
  to I don't know buy food from a
• 57:44
  next door a next-door neighbor from another
• 57:47
  from us You know we give them loans,
• 57:49
  and then we take the money you have
• 57:51
  to buy the products from us So first
• 57:54
  of all we direct who you have to
• 57:57
  bank through where you've got to buy your
• 57:59
  products and Whether or not you can spend
• 58:03
  your own money in a sovereign way like
• 58:07
  sovereign countries Do okay the contrast with that
• 58:10
  is China China doesn't do that China for
• 58:14
  four years for at least my lifetime at
• 58:18
  least since I was in high school in
• 58:20
  the in the 80s Was that China bought
• 58:28
  our debt China and its massive growth Funded
• 58:33
  our economy along with much of the rest
• 58:36
  of the world because that's where we were
• 58:39
  exporting our capacity to so that the roaring
• 58:43
  80 80s growth in the stock market and
• 58:48
  in all of the Commodities and stuff like
• 58:50
  that and people getting massively wealthy for doing
• 58:53
  nothing, but Moving money around to various places
• 58:57
  people were learning how to move money around
• 59:00
  well those days aren't able to be Reproduced
• 59:04
  anymore because what China and Russia that story
• 59:07
  I tell you about the energy going through
• 59:09
  in a pipeline there and the rest of
• 59:12
  the world is watching this intently and Canada
• 59:16
  even is doing it Canada going to China
• 59:19
  and Donald Trump being pissed off about it
• 59:22
  He ought to be but he forced it.
• 59:23
  It was gonna happen anyway, but he forced
• 59:26
  it more quickly and You know that we're
• 59:29
  not friends in Europe anymore because Europe's doing
• 59:31
  the same thing They won't buy gas from
• 59:34
  China from Russia, but they'll buy it from
• 59:36
  China.
• 59:37
  Where do you think China's getting it?
• 59:40
  It's just a big circle because these idiots
• 59:43
  don't want to buy Straight from Russia because
• 59:46
  you have to have you still have to
• 59:47
  have the Western based Dog whistle no cheese
• 59:53
  Russia's bad.
• 59:54
  We're good.
• 59:54
  You know, but China's becoming good Okay, and
• 59:57
  China's becoming good But what they're doing is
• 1:00:00
  cutting off the debt that they're buying unloading
• 1:00:03
  American debt in massive quantities Every quarter I
• 1:00:07
  have reported to you at least 60 to
• 1:00:11
  80 sometimes even a hundred billion Elimination of
• 1:00:15
  debt or not buying more debt and the
• 1:00:19
  u.s Can't force China to keep buying
• 1:00:21
  debt and they're not doing it The China's
• 1:00:24
  not buying it and they used to be
• 1:00:25
  the largest now Japan's the largest and we're
• 1:00:28
  forcing it on them and they don't want
• 1:00:30
  to buy that much more.
• 1:00:31
  They can't support it I gave you stories
• 1:00:34
  about that.
• 1:00:35
  They can't support the debt the Middle East
• 1:00:37
  doesn't want it and well, how are they
• 1:00:38
  buying it?
• 1:00:39
  They were buying it through the petrodollar So
• 1:00:42
  they'd get paid in the petrodollar which meant
• 1:00:44
  that all petroleum had to be paid for
• 1:00:46
  in dollars And so that would mean that
• 1:00:49
  they would get all these dollars But then
• 1:00:51
  they'd have to hold them.
• 1:00:52
  So all the wealth that they held is
• 1:00:53
  in dollars and they're diversifying Saudi Arabia is
• 1:00:57
  taking you on UAE is taking you on
• 1:01:01
  and Certainly Iran is taking you on because
• 1:01:04
  they've been sanctioned, but why because they were
• 1:01:07
  taking you So that's this is how it
• 1:01:11
  works and and the system the economic system
• 1:01:14
  I thought about reading you this Hazin interview
• 1:01:18
  because it was it was very interesting to
• 1:01:21
  watch the entire the entire show and he's
• 1:01:24
  he's well-spoken anyway You know, let me
• 1:01:28
  finish up on this pipeline through Mongolia and
• 1:01:31
  maybe we'll go over to that to that
• 1:01:33
  article for you because Mongolia still does maintain
• 1:01:39
  Ties with the u.s. The pipeline means
• 1:01:41
  those transit fees Estimate places those fees at
• 1:01:46
  about a billion dollars a year With a
• 1:01:49
  country with a GDP of only about 20
• 1:01:52
  billion, that's huge Mongolia still has ties with
• 1:01:56
  the u.s. Japan and South Korea what
• 1:01:58
  they call third neighbors that because they're right
• 1:02:01
  between they're surrounded by Russia and China and
• 1:02:06
  that balancing act does make Russia and China
• 1:02:09
  cautious as far as putting a Pipeline through
• 1:02:13
  there and they haven't they haven't started digging
• 1:02:15
  in Mongolia yet And there's talk about rerouting
• 1:02:19
  the pipeline through Kazakhstan if Mongolia becomes too
• 1:02:22
  difficult to work with I think ultimately it'll
• 1:02:24
  be in both places and Kazakhstan is friggin
• 1:02:27
  beautiful and it is It is having a
• 1:02:31
  revival of sorts.
• 1:02:32
  You know, it is it's a beautiful country
• 1:02:34
  anyway, and It's beautiful people.
• 1:02:38
  I love it over there and I'd love
• 1:02:40
  to go back and And and see it.
• 1:02:43
  I mean, you know, of course, I love
• 1:02:44
  a lot of places and I'd like to
• 1:02:46
  get to more you know, that's country number
• 1:02:48
  54 or something and I'm on 57 now
• 1:02:51
  and Hopefully gonna get to a couple more
• 1:02:54
  this year the memorandum signed a bit with
• 1:02:57
  Mongolia in September 25 does include Mongolia, but
• 1:03:01
  that right route is not final until construction
• 1:03:04
  begins and Mongolia has to accept that they're
• 1:03:08
  gonna get paid in yuan and ruble and
• 1:03:09
  not any dollars They're not going to be
• 1:03:11
  tough to convert that money into dollars some
• 1:03:13
  other way and they also face pressure from
• 1:03:16
  the u.s To pot and from Russia
• 1:03:20
  and from China, you know, and it brings
• 1:03:22
  it to the attention of these two superpowers
• 1:03:26
  Into Mongolia or into Kazakhstan either way So
• 1:03:30
  so what could still delay or cancel this
• 1:03:33
  particular project?
• 1:03:34
  It's a state of the play is the
• 1:03:36
  Far Eastern route is being built right now
• 1:03:38
  Power of Siberia 2 is being negotiated and
• 1:03:41
  going to be done But the physical one
• 1:03:43
  is is operating right now power of Siberia
• 1:03:46
  one twelve What was that number twelve billion
• 1:03:53
  What do you call Twelve billion cubic meters
• 1:03:59
  of gas a year and I thought it
• 1:04:02
  was meters, but I forgot the cubic part
• 1:04:04
  so I had to go back and read
• 1:04:05
  it at any rate the Far Eastern route
• 1:04:08
  is being built and by the way, this
• 1:04:10
  is These are just occurrences These are facts
• 1:04:15
  and you don't have to agree with the
• 1:04:17
  conclusions that I come to because of these
• 1:04:20
  facts But these are facts and people aren't
• 1:04:23
  talking about them a lot when you you
• 1:04:25
  know When you hear about the Straits of
• 1:04:27
  Hormuz and eliminate guess who else Russia has
• 1:04:30
  a common border with Iran and And and
• 1:04:35
  by by default that means Iran China Russia
• 1:04:39
  They're all connected now people are saying that
• 1:04:42
  they have to if Iran can hold out
• 1:04:45
  which by all accounts they plan to I
• 1:04:47
  mean the fact that they didn't come to
• 1:04:48
  an agreement over the Weekend has Trump all
• 1:04:50
  up in arms, and and he he has
• 1:04:52
  to he has to continue to posture and
• 1:04:55
  up the ante well fine Then I'll block
• 1:04:57
  all of them.
• 1:04:58
  Okay, so what are we fighting for in
• 1:05:00
  Iran?
• 1:05:00
  We were fighting for no nukes Then we
• 1:05:02
  were fighting for the the Straits of Hormuz
• 1:05:05
  to open because nobody picked that the Straits
• 1:05:07
  of Hormuz were open before They were open
• 1:05:10
  before this war ever started nobody had to
• 1:05:12
  pay a nickel it was never there It's
• 1:05:14
  never even been questioned well now people are
• 1:05:17
  questioning why is it that you were allowed
• 1:05:19
  to charge a fee in the Suez Canal
• 1:05:21
  charge a fee in the in the Malacca
• 1:05:24
  Straits charge a fee in a Panama charge
• 1:05:26
  a fee to go through the Great Lakes
• 1:05:28
  any of these other common waters that you're
• 1:05:31
  charging a fee from but but other countries
• 1:05:33
  Iran and Oman cannot charge a fee to
• 1:05:38
  go through Straits of Hormuz.
• 1:05:39
  It's ludicrous.
• 1:05:40
  I mean Level playing field fellows.
• 1:05:43
  You know we got to have a level
• 1:05:44
  playing field And we don't you know and
• 1:05:47
  now Trump is gonna try to force that
• 1:05:48
  issue, and so what's he gonna do?
• 1:05:50
  He's gonna destroy a civilization.
• 1:05:53
  That's what he says and And and I'm
• 1:05:56
  telling you he's losing the in the in
• 1:05:58
  the court of public opinion He is losing
• 1:06:01
  a huge swath, and I think the Victor
• 1:06:04
  Orban thing occurring over the weekend I don't
• 1:06:08
  think that the Trump Support of Orban Helped
• 1:06:14
  much.
• 1:06:15
  I don't think so I think The young
• 1:06:18
  people they said there was a huge turnout
• 1:06:21
  and the young people all want Europe they
• 1:06:23
  all want their social free free this and
• 1:06:26
  free that and And all the globalists you
• 1:06:30
  know they want to keep up with that
• 1:06:31
  freedom They still want Europe as the as
• 1:06:34
  the global superpower like the United States.
• 1:06:37
  It's not but They think Trump is a
• 1:06:40
  short-term problem and We'll get back to
• 1:06:44
  business as usual as soon as another Another
• 1:06:48
  person comes in and then maybe they'll go
• 1:06:51
  back to following America's lead everywhere They go,
• 1:06:54
  but nobody's willing to right now and Frankly,
• 1:06:57
  I don't blame them.
• 1:06:58
  You know some of the some of the
• 1:06:59
  mistakes that I'm being seen that I am
• 1:07:02
  seeing Being made you don't have to agree
• 1:07:04
  with me a lot of people don't that's
• 1:07:05
  that's fine by me But I think it's
• 1:07:09
  important to to discuss this stuff What else
• 1:07:14
  did we want to put on on the
• 1:07:16
  Hungary thing you know Trump casting himself as
• 1:07:18
  Jesus.
• 1:07:19
  I already did that that's crazy There was
• 1:07:22
  another guy that There was another huge What
• 1:07:31
  do you call it beating you know Two
• 1:07:38
  things that I wanted to talk about in
• 1:07:40
  Ukraine Ukrainian draft enforcers you ought to see
• 1:07:43
  this video beat and drag a man from
• 1:07:47
  his apartment and There's a video of it
• 1:07:50
  circulating on telegram.
• 1:07:52
  It is not good and People are all
• 1:07:55
  up in arms about it because they're still
• 1:07:57
  doing it They're dragging people out beating the
• 1:07:59
  crap out of them sending them to the
• 1:08:01
  front to die they're still dying in big
• 1:08:04
  numbers, you know huge and It's not good,
• 1:08:09
  and if you're if you think that Ukraine
• 1:08:13
  is fighting for democracy Better think again there.
• 1:08:17
  They're they're fighting to be the place where
• 1:08:19
  the u.s. Puts all its money That's
• 1:08:22
  all this is about is where the u
• 1:08:24
  .s. Can stand across the border from Russia
• 1:08:27
  and with our NATO forces and you know
• 1:08:32
  glare at Russia in the eye and And
• 1:08:36
  dream about how?
• 1:08:38
  Europe really wants all of Russia's Resources it's
• 1:08:41
  a once again resource war Ukraine tried to
• 1:08:46
  attack the Russian space base During the launch
• 1:08:51
  of the Satellites for Internet so Kiev
• 1:09:01
  orchestrated a don't drone raid on police yet
• 1:09:04
  as Moscow is deploying 16 Satellites two weeks
• 1:09:09
  ago according to Dmitry Bukhanov Ukraine attempted to
• 1:09:12
  strike a Russian cosmodrome the same day as
• 1:09:15
  rockets carrying the satellites into orbit was taking
• 1:09:18
  off Russia's space agency Roscosmos confirmed speaking to
• 1:09:22
  Russian President Putin agency head Dmitry Bukhanov said
• 1:09:27
  that an attempted drone strike on police It's
• 1:09:29
  cosmodrome in the northern part of the country
• 1:09:31
  was foiled Bukhanov who has led Roscosmos since
• 1:09:35
  February of 2025 made the comments Saturday prior
• 1:09:38
  to the cosmonaut day Which was a big
• 1:09:41
  a big celebration it was yesterday.
• 1:09:44
  I think which marks the first two I
• 1:09:46
  did my Russian show yesterday in Well in
• 1:09:51
  Russian I did it in Russian, and I
• 1:09:53
  did it here in the studio And I
• 1:09:54
  figured out how to do it on YouTube
• 1:09:56
  at the same time And so I was
• 1:09:58
  able to go live on YouTube and get
• 1:10:01
  commentary and there were a bunch of people
• 1:10:03
  who because I haven't done it for a
• 1:10:04
  while because I Wanted to do it here
• 1:10:07
  in the studio And I wanted to do
• 1:10:09
  it as it occurred and record it and
• 1:10:11
  do them both same time one live on
• 1:10:13
  damn radio And so yesterday morning And I
• 1:10:16
  haven't picked a concrete time, but I really
• 1:10:18
  intend to go back to doing my Russian
• 1:10:20
  language version of it once a week and
• 1:10:24
  Compiling together all of the topics or Highlighting
• 1:10:28
  the topics that I spoke about the week
• 1:10:30
  before and topics that are coming up well
• 1:10:32
  yesterday was the day that the first human
• 1:10:36
  went into outer space a guy named Yuri
• 1:10:39
  Gagarin in 1961 when he was the first
• 1:10:44
  person to go into space and Putin had
• 1:10:49
  meetings with his Agency heads, and I like
• 1:10:52
  how he does that too.
• 1:10:53
  They're all public They're all televised, and they're
• 1:10:55
  all put on TV and every once in
• 1:10:57
  a while I'll watch him, and I watched
• 1:10:59
  this one.
• 1:10:59
  I went back and watched the Cosmodrome one
• 1:11:01
  that's what got me interested in this story
• 1:11:02
  a little bit because the Ukrainians are trying
• 1:11:05
  to Destroy they don't want Russia to have
• 1:11:08
  the ability to get the Internet and Elon
• 1:11:10
  Musk has cut him off from from Starlink
• 1:11:14
  And is doing a better job of finding
• 1:11:17
  the terminals that Russia stole from the Ukrainians
• 1:11:20
  or killed people and took And and so
• 1:11:23
  they have had a little bit of difficulty
• 1:11:24
  But that's all going away now And they
• 1:11:26
  say that Russia now has the capabilities of
• 1:11:29
  doing their own Internet And this is what
• 1:11:31
  I keep talking about more and more countries
• 1:11:33
  are going to begin to Send their own
• 1:11:36
  satellites into orbit because they don't want to
• 1:11:38
  be held by somebody who is under the
• 1:11:42
  control of Donald Trump or anybody else or
• 1:11:47
  that some rich guy who owns all the
• 1:11:49
  satellites in the sky can just go Huh,
• 1:11:51
  I support this side, so you're screwed.
• 1:11:54
  You know and unlevel the playing field to
• 1:11:57
  make the playing field slant in one person's
• 1:12:00
  favor and so a Bachanov said that the
• 1:12:05
  in You know celebration of cosmonaut day You
• 1:12:11
  know he was telling about the fact that
• 1:12:13
  they were able to put these state backed
• 1:12:18
  internet things into orbit and Putin praised the
• 1:12:23
  March 23 launch as a key milestone for
• 1:12:25
  Russia's space program Bachanov said that Ukraine attempted
• 1:12:29
  to disrupt it plus its cosmodrome is about
• 1:12:31
  800 kilometers north of Moscow and about 1
• 1:12:34
  ,300 kilometers from the Ukrainian border so when
• 1:12:37
  they say Spaces beyond politics our friends did
• 1:12:40
  everything to prevent this launch He said that
• 1:12:42
  day there were serious strike attempts on the
• 1:12:45
  cosmodrome, but the joint combat crews of Roscosmos
• 1:12:49
  Enterprises and the Space Forces completed their mission
• 1:12:52
  Bachanov did not provide details on the attack
• 1:12:55
  the Defense Ministry did not explicitly comment on
• 1:12:59
  the space-based assault But did report the
• 1:13:01
  downing of dozens of drones cost a country
• 1:13:03
  around that date Excuse me Roscosmos was referring
• 1:13:06
  to the launch of Soyuz 2.1 billion
• 1:13:10
  2.1 B rocket.
• 1:13:11
  I'm sorry not billion medium lift launch vehicle
• 1:13:14
  Used as the workhorse in the Russian space
• 1:13:18
  industry the rocket was carrying 16 satellites belonging
• 1:13:22
  to the Rassvet constellation Rassvet means dawn developed
• 1:13:27
  by Russian private aerospace firm Bureau 1440 widely
• 1:13:32
  described as Moscow's answer to Elon Musk's Starlink
• 1:13:37
  Russian officials have been suspicious of Starlink, which
• 1:13:41
  isn't operating in their country, but is actively
• 1:13:44
  used by Ukraine Russian satellites Operate as 5g
• 1:13:50
  base stations and they interconnect via laser Communication
• 1:13:53
  links and are capable of transmitting data at
• 1:13:56
  speeds up to 1 gigabits per second their
• 1:13:59
  target orbital altitude Is 800 kilometers Bureau 1440
• 1:14:03
  is planning to deploy more than 900 low
• 1:14:07
  orbit relays by 2035 So that's happening So
• 1:14:14
  in keeping with Effects on the rest of
• 1:14:19
  the world Three weeks of fuel 170 million
• 1:14:25
  people so in Bangladesh the fuel shortage is
• 1:14:29
  getting horrible Dhaka is juggling rationing early shop
• 1:14:34
  closures hybrid schooling to manage the nation's use
• 1:14:38

  this bike all the way to the hospital
• 1:15:12
  a Bangladeshi journalist posted this on social media
• 1:15:16
  one more voice in the flood of similar
• 1:15:19
  posts over the past few weeks as the
• 1:15:22
  energy crisis triggered by the war and Iran

• 1:16:46
  much money these boy these boys and girls
• 1:16:49
  can't pay for it at any level, so
• 1:16:51
  it's bad news and The fuel crisis visible
• 1:16:55
  at gas pumps across the country according including
• 1:17:00
  in Dhaka in early March shortages were aggravated
• 1:17:05
  by the Eid holiday banking shutdown and Eid
• 1:17:08
  is at the end of Ramadan in Disrupted
• 1:17:11
  supply chains and delayed payments and deliveries stocks
• 1:17:14
  are limited sales or cap lines are long
• 1:17:17
  pressure on filling stations Continues as demand certainly
• 1:17:21
  exceeds supply and the government has a mounting
• 1:17:26
  challenge in trying to keep this up and
• 1:17:28
  so the world is Really feeling this now
• 1:17:32
  me.
• 1:17:32
  I feel it too.
• 1:17:33
  I don't like paying this four dollars a
• 1:17:35
  gallon crapola for For gas I'm against it
• 1:17:40
  Especially when I spouted off so much about
• 1:17:42
  how wonderful it was a short two months
• 1:17:45
  ago to only be paying 250 we're allowed
• 1:17:48
  we will forgive a lot of Indiscretion at
• 1:17:52
  250 a gallon, but it for we're not
• 1:17:55
  so rational We don't we're not so forgiving
• 1:18:00
  at four dollars a gallon.
• 1:18:02
  We just don't I don't like it and
• 1:18:04
  We hope that that things end here.
• 1:18:07
  I'm not so sure on my own here
• 1:18:10
  that The old Trumpsters war over the whole
• 1:18:15
  Straits of Hormuz are going to be of
• 1:18:16
  any help to the rest of the planet
• 1:18:20
  and it's possible that Things get much worse
• 1:18:25
  far quicker If he manages to block All
• 1:18:31
  of the ports in Iran and the Straits
• 1:18:34
  of Hormuz I'm not sure he can really
• 1:18:36
  do that certainly there aren't going to be
• 1:18:38
  any any Destroyers or warships of America in
• 1:18:41
  the Straits of Hormuz directly because they'll get
• 1:18:45
  the crap blown out of them And they
• 1:18:47
  it's it's too narrow and it's been recommended
• 1:18:50
  according to much of the stuff that I've
• 1:18:51
  read It's been recommended by the Navy chiefs
• 1:18:54
  and by all the people in charge That
• 1:18:57
  you really don't want to do that.
• 1:18:59
  You don't put your eggs in a huge
• 1:19:02
  Your huge eggs in a tiny little basket
• 1:19:05
  like that or they will be targeted So
• 1:19:08

• 1:19:11
  idea friends and neighbors I want to go

  a wolf The people this is they are
• 1:21:29
  not for this war any longer and I'm
• 1:21:33
  not positive that all of them ever wore
• 1:21:34
  it was only the the You know the
• 1:21:37
  the extreme nationalist Nazis were the SS and
• 1:21:41
  the swastika that were for this And so
• 1:21:44
  earlier this month the the killing of those
• 1:21:47
  two officers was a really big deal and
• 1:21:49
  some Ukrainian officials they don't like to talk
• 1:21:52
  about it but some have acknowledged the depth
• 1:21:55
  of the of the recruitment crisis and according
• 1:21:58
  to Vadim Ivchenko a member of Parliament's National
• 1:22:04
  Security Committee only eight to ten percent of
• 1:22:07
  new personnel are willing recruits eight to ten
• 1:22:12
  percent they have to fill twenty to thirty
• 1:22:14
  thousand deaths a month and They and then
• 1:22:18
  the only eight to ten percent of them
• 1:22:19
  are voluntary everybody else is forced beaten dragged
• 1:22:23
  to the front Moscow accuses KIV's Western backers
• 1:22:27
  of fighting to the last Ukrainian.
• 1:22:29
  You've heard me say that Russian Defense Minister
• 1:22:32
  Andrei Belousov Bela Usov has estimated that Ukraine
• 1:22:37
  has lost nearly 500 service 500,000 servicemen
• 1:22:41
  in 2025 alone and the total losses according
• 1:22:45
  to Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov is That they have
• 1:22:51
  lost Total military casualties far in excess of
• 1:22:56
  1 million That's truly depressing for them, especially
• 1:23:01
  and their families and so far not ending
• 1:23:04
  no normal normal Normalcy, I guess is a
• 1:23:09
  good word.
