• 0:00
  SPEAKER_01: What they just announced confirms everything that we suspected.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_01: What a crazy week it has been in the world of geopolitics and economics.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to get into everything that has happened this week,
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: but predominantly in the last 24 hours.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, we've got new fronts opening up.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: The whole Strait of Hormuz has expanded to Yemen.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: We've got Ukraine doubling down on oil refinery strikes in Russia,
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: wanting to cripple the global diesel supply to put pressure on other countries
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: to We have got everything you can think of going on this week.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: Not to mention what's happening in Paris which is basically like a war zone now.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's reminiscent of what we saw back in, was it 2018?
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: The Yellow Vests protests, which were insane.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it's about on that level now what's taking place in Paris.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: We've got a lot to cover today,
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: so let's get started with the biggest news of the last 24 hours,
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: which is somewhat comical in nature.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Let me put the headline on screen for you here.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: NATO attempts to call tensions with Russia ahead of key Nuclear exercise.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: The title in itself is somewhat of an oxymoron, I would say.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: So NATO is about to do this massive, massive nuclear drill.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: And if you don't know, they are going to be preparing and practicing what would happen.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: If they had to have a nuclear exchange with Russia.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: So the whole title is just baffling in a way to even get started.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: In fact,
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Rut actually said,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: the head of NATO said that Russia's overreacting to these nuclear drills.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's like,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: someone coming to your front gate with a massive arsenal and a shotgun pointing
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: at your front gate and saying,
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, you coming out and saying, what are you doing?
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to call the police.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: And they say, hold on, you're overreacting here.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a shotgun loaded, pointing at your front gate.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: So my goodness,
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: they're actually saying that this is to reassure Russia
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: that they have got absolutely nothing to worry about.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: They said Putin has got nothing to worry about.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: This is just a precautionary drill and they're just doing it for I mean,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: you fill in the blank here.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: And NATO's actually announced that there will be 17 Allied members involved
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: in this nuclear drill.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, this takes place between the 13th and 23rd of October.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's called Exercise Steadfast Noon.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: You notice they're all called Steadfast at the moment.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Got another huge Operation Exercise going on as well right now.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Come to in a moment involving Royal Marine Commandos.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: This one is huge.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: But I did want to read out what NATO's nuclear policy director had to say about all of this.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: She said,
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: its purpose is really essentially to train our allied forces that we are ready
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: and prepared and we ensure the safety and security of our nuclear capability.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't it be the safety and the security of the citizens?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: You see, you've always got to listen very closely to what they say.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: You would have thought she'd say that her biggest concern was the safety of the citizens.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: No, it was the nuclear capability.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: She also went on to say,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: our intention is to really keep things calm in the face of Russian aggression
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: towards NATO.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: Another really interesting article that came out overnight was this one,
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: how NATO is preparing in the Baltic skies for a possible confrontation with Russia.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: And it says while jets patrol overhead, Canada is tasked with securing the ground.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah,
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: for all of my Canadian friends and military friends,
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: have the greatest respect for you.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: But the What they put in this story just was laughable, basically.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: And the general,
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: when he said,
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm absolutely confident,
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: this is the Canadian general,
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: absolutely confident in our ability to overcome Russia and all this other stuff.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Then you get to the small print, how many men has he got?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Is it 100,000?
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, is it 70,000?
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: Because you're going to need a lot of men.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: No, 3,000.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: 3,000 men.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: But not only that, they said that this is no longer a drill.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: They're not treating this anymore as an exercise.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: They're treating it as if it were real.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, do they realize that Russia is reading every single piece of information
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: that they put out?
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: In fact,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: when asked about going to war with Russia,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Without the US,
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: one senior military member said this,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'm completely confident in the support of the US forces in protecting us.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: I have no doubt every day I can see the development of the US force
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: and I have no doubt about their support.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: So on one line, it's all this fighting talk, isn't it?
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, we're so confident, 3,000 men and everything else.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: And then they say, oh,
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: we've no doubt that the USA is going to,
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: and they use the word protect us,
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_01: and that they will support the alliance and strengthen it and everything else.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: And as I've said a lot of times, maybe, maybe that will happen.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: I think that it will be 50-50.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: I think if it's something really serious that provokes Article 5,
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: then yeah, yeah, I think the US would get involved.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: But I think if it's either a false flag event or Europe is deliberately,
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: deliberately poking, poking,
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: poking and causing this war deliberately,
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: then I'm just not convinced that
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: the US would Latvia is now actively constructing what it calls
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: a drone wall along its heavily forested eastern border.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: The EU is moving towards drone technology should members of
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: the public not be willing to come forth and do their duty as upright citizens.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they just can't leave it alone, can they?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: They have to put all this propaganda and this reverse psychology and...
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, all this stuff all over again.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a repeat of 2020, 2021.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: If you're not an upright citizen,
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: or if you were an upright citizen,
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: if you were, if you cared about other people, you would XYZ, right?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's just the same thing all over again.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Now they're saying if you're,
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: if you don't step forth to be meat for the grinder,
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: Then you're not an upright citizen.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: And of course,
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: what happens is a lot of people will see that and they'll be afraid of a label,
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: as it were.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's what they'll be afraid of.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: They'll be afraid of a label.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Of someone calling them something or saying they're not an upright citizen.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: We've seen this.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: It happens over and over again.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: And you just got to be really careful with this, especially for yourself.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: If you know that you're that sort of person that hasn't got
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: a really strong temperament against that sort of thing or members of your family,
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: you know, you just got to be really careful with this stuff.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: Now, in terms of preparedness for yourself,
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: I would say I'm about two weeks out now from finishing your program
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: that I've been creating.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's a massive guide.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: No stone has been left unturned.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: It covers everything from preparedness to survival.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to cover everything from if there's a war,
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: if the energy supply is cut off, which is what they're saying.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: Rolling blackouts,
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: food shortages,
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: all the things that you've seen on the news and the government has warned you
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: about now.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to cover all of that, how to protect yourself against it.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: We've got interviews with survival experts, preparedness experts.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: No, none of them are woke.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: They're all, you know, decent guys.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to have all of that for you.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: I've made about a dozen guides.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: They've all been written for you as well.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Everything you can ever need from Energy,
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: to food,
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: to water,
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: every possible thing tells you there's packing lists,
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: there's food lists, everything you can imagine.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: And as promised,
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: it's going to be under $100 so that anybody can afford all of this,
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: this massive pack when it comes out.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: And then all I want you to do is just print it off and put it in a binder.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Because if there is a blackout or no electricity or something like that,
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: then you can just reference.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: There's even emergency first aid guiding.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: There's everything that you'll ever need.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: So just make sure you are on the email list then,
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: because it's going to be released to the email list right away, very, very quickly.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're not on the email list, I'll even give you a free gift today.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's called the Financial Survival Guide.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: And that's more focused on finances and economics, everything from...
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: How to protect your money,
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: how to save your money and how to earn more money,
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: even if we are in a major conflict.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: So I put that on screen.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: The link is below in the description.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: Download that.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: You'll get some emails with it as well.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: And that will get you on the email list ready for when this program releases.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I've got to mention Canada's part in all of this a little bit further,
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: because as I was reading this article, I'm just I'm asking myself the question.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: What on earth has Canada got to do with any of this?
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it said,
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: over the last decade,
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Ottawa's commitment to the Baltic region has quietly scaled up from
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: a localised battle group to 3,000 soldiers right on Russia's doorstep and ready
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: to fight at a moment's notice.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: My goodness.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just say, Canadian troops, good troops, no issues, nothing like that, no criticism.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: But as always, it comes down to experience, right?
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: You can exercise and exercise for all of this stuff.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to take a while when all of this kicks off because it's going
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: to kick off eventually.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to take a while before the troops get experienced and get battle-hardened.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: So what they're going to be up against is a battle-hardened Russia right away
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: from day one who have all the drone warfare capability and everything else.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: So I wouldn't want to be that first spearhead that gets involved
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: in any conflict here because it's going to be absolutely Brutal before you get
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: that experience level up.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Another exercise that's going on right now is NATO's Strike Warrior.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Even though it's a small exercise, it's about 2,000 personnel, something like that.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: The reason this is really extreme is because this is the Royal Marine Commandos.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's the biggest exercise that they've done in over 15 years.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: These guys are warriors, trust me.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: You just got to see them in action and this is going to be wild when all of this kicks off.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: But one thing I noticed from The footage and reading some of the reports on it is
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: that they're not it looks like they've changed their fighting tactics.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're a Royal Marine watching this, you can leave a comment for everyone to see.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like they've changed their tactics slightly.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: And it looks now more like SF tactics with very small groups.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: So four men, four men per team.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: And it looks as well with the sort of the way they are integrating with with
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: The subs and other warships and things like that,
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: these small teams,
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: it looks like they're going to be used more for not conventional warfare,
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: but a kind of guerrilla warfare.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's my read on watching the exercise and reading all of the reports from the exercise.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Let me know your thoughts.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: But again,
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: it really made me laugh when I was reading this because it's called Strike Warrior,
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Strike Warrior.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: And it says that involves eight warships,
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: 19 aircraft, six NATO nations, UK, US, Netherlands, Canada, Germany, and Norway.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: And it says that this is purely a defensive exercise.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: So it's Strike Warrior and they are pretty much all attacking positions and strikes
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: and they're calling it a defensive exercise.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: We all know we're not stupid.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: We know it's not a defensive exercise.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: They need to just be honest about it now and say, look, yeah, we're gearing up.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we're doing all these exercises with a lot of men and fighting.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're going to war and that's that.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: Rather than The way they are treating the public at the minute,
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: which is a,
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: lying to the public,
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: not really preparing them for what is coming,
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: and two,
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: dragging the public into a war that they don't want to be in in the first place.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: And it even gets worse than this because only a third
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: of EU counter drone programs will actually deliver by 2030.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: A leaked report warns.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's always a leaked report, isn't it?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's never a Released,
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: we intentionally meant to release this report,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: but if they are relying on drone warfare by 2030, and what is it?
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: Only a third of programs are going to deliver,
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: then they might need to rethink their strategy here.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: EU countries are actually investing 19 billion,
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: with a B, They say to counter Russian aggression.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: But that's not what's bizarre about the article.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: They're actually saying now that the test worked.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: So they remember they call it a conspiracy theory when I said all
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: of these foreign weapons manufacturers were using Ukraine basically as
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: a testing zone, right?
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: They were just using it to test all of their weapons and all
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: of their autonomous weapons,
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: drones and Driverless tanks and all this other stuff with AI technology.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it's all been confirmed now, as always, you know, this always happens.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: And these, you know, what they called disclaimers below my videos sometimes.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is, you know, they're basically saying it's not true.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: And then a few months later comes out, oh, actually, yeah, that was true.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: Well, they've said now that they've spent 19 billion euros and they are pretty much...
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_01: Getting a good way along with all of this drone technology.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: But they said because Russia is advancing so quickly and changing their drones
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: and their missiles that they are going to be behind.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: And by 2030, they just don't think they're going to be on schedule.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: So only one third of all the drone manufacturers, and there's a lot of them.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Let me tell you the exact number.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's 200 companies.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: 200 companies,
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: that's how many there are,
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: and it could expand by up to 140% by next year,
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: they said, if they get all the investment that they are asking for.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: But let's switch over now then to the really important one,
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: because this does affect you very badly, and that is the emergency energy situation.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: I just read today the International Energy Agency report,
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: their update,
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: And it is staggering now how much energy they've released,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: how much oil, how much diesel.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's such a huge amount.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, they've only got 1.1 billion barrels of emergency oil stocks left.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you might say, well, that sounds like a lot.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: It might sound like a lot until you realize that a lot of that oil can't be accessed.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: And they've only got 200 million barrels of diesel.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: That is it.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: Just to put this into...
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: Context, if you're not aware.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a lot and they're acting like it's this huge amount.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: And if you think about how much oil the world uses daily,
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: it's about 100 million barrels, it's 102 million barrels if you want to be specific.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: So 1.1 billion divided by 100 is 11 days worth of oil left.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: So if all of the oil stopped tomorrow and just everything stopped,
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: nothing started moving,
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: you would have 11 days left and you'd only have one day of diesel.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: This is how serious this situation really is.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's absolutely... Oh, who's this?
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: She's taking a rest over in the shade here.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's a warm day today.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: But it's not too bad, actually, in terms of heat.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: I've hardly even had the aircon on in the apartment.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, I didn't even turn it on since yesterday.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: So it's not too hot at the minute.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: A little bit sticky outside, but a good time of year to do the walk and talk here.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: We're in Lampini Park in central Bangkok.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: One of the largest parks in Bangkok.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Less than six billion barrels of commercial inventories remain today.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: That is it.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: With the vast majority not practically available.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: So the system is already straining.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: He then went on.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: This was the CEO of Saudi Arabia State Oil Company, by the way.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: And this was at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: He went on to say this,
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: more than 1 billion barrels of oil have been released
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: from onshore commercial inventory since the start of this Middle East crisis
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: which was the last tool in the box.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: He said now there is no other tools,
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: the toolbox is open and he actually said that people should prepare.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: I thought it was really good of him actually to say this because where all
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: the other governments are saying everything's fine,
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: everything's fine,
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: you don't need to worry,
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: he's saying No,
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: citizens,
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: everybody listening to this,
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: you should be prepared for what is coming because when the oil runs out,
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: and the explanation was exactly what I've said before,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: Once that oil does run out,
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: there is no more that's going to be replacing it very easily or refining capacity.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: The refining capacity is being destroyed, absolutely destroyed day by day.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: We just had another mysterious coincidence.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: It was two days ago now, and it was Venezuela's second largest refinery.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: Just mysteriously caught on fire and exploded.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: What a coincidence.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: I just can't believe another one went up in flames and then even more in Russia.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: As they've been struck by the drones and missiles, British built, may I add.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: But I also wanted to read out what the CEO of Patronus Energy had to say.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: Natural gas inventories are also depleted, making prices vulnerable to spikes.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: A bad winter could bring a bloodbath,
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: this is his exact words,
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: in the gas market in the first quarter of 2027 if storage hits minimal levels
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: that is what he has said
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: so it's not just oil it's natural gas lng it is diesel this is going to be
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I just don't think people even understand what is coming.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: And Zelensky has made a statement saying that he considers the attacks
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: on Russian refineries to be their most effective strategy right now.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: And he's going to be doubling their efforts, doubling down on striking refineries.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, it might be really effective for their strategy,
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: but it's going to be absolutely crippling for the world.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: And just as we got some good news on Brent prices then,
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: below $100 a barrel,
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's now back up to $103 a barrel because the Houthis actually struck that pipeline,
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: which you just heard two days ago had been repaired.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: Well, as soon as it was repaired, they struck it again.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: So it is offline yet again.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: Here's an interesting one for you then.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: The EU, here we go.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Canada and Lithuania just pulled out of a disinformation conference, which was hosted by the EU.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: So the EU pulled out of their own conference after Trump said he was very,
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: very upset about this conference.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: I want to read out for a moment here what it was all about.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: So they warned, actually, this was the warning that they had made in their conference.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: They warned that the US had been put on the same level as China and Russia for disinformation.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: This one just cracked me up.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: The conference titled Disinfo2026,
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: hashtag,
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: included sessions that described the US as a foreign information manipulation
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: and interference actor, a FIMA, as they call it.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: The State Department asked American embassies in several European countries and
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: the EU to express their disappointment at this category and this classification.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_01: And they wanted further clarification if each country believed this was true.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: And upon doing this, a number of them pulled out of the conference.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Even the EU themselves pulled out of the conference here.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: But who didn't pull out the conference?
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: It was France.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: It was Romania.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: It was Poland.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: They are surprised by Poland.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: They decided that they would still attend the conference.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't think that's much of a surprise if you've seen In the news
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: then overnight with the new statue that's just been unveiled.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: Wild.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just put this on screen so you can see it.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: So this is the Orange Plague.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's a very offensive statue that they are calling art.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: Art has changed a lot since my day, let me tell you.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: But they're calling this art.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: So if you haven't seen this yet, I wonder what Trump's response to this will be.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: Which is kind of ironic in a way,
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: because this is the EU Parliament, by the way, that's displaying this.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_01: Just so you know,
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: this is within the EU Parliament's building that they are displaying this statue.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: But I would say the irony of it is that they're saying that Trump's a bully
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: and all this other stuff,
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: and that's why they're putting him on the shoulders of this smaller man
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: and everything else like that.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's kind of ironic then,
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: if that's the case,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: because wouldn't you think to yourself,
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: hold on,
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm the EU Parliament here and we need diesel and we need all these other resources
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: because we destroyed our own energy infrastructure.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't you think to yourself, maybe that's not the best idea to display that statue, but...
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: Nope, no, I guess they think that, why not, let's just go ahead and do it.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: But the statue, actually, this isn't the first time it's been displayed.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: It was also displayed at COP30 in Brazil last year.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yes,
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: that's the one where they mowed down the rainforest for miles to build a road So
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: that the delegates could drive down this nice smooth road to the conference.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_01: And they've actually said because it's been so successful,
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_01: so popular, this statue, they are now going to display it at more places.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_01: The next place it's going to be displayed, after the EU Parliament this is, is COP31.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: Conference in Strasbourg.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: By the way,
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: if you're wondering what people are looking at when I'm walking by groups of people,
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: it is that they're looking at the monitor lizards.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: They get pretty big here in Lumpini Park.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: They're protected.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: So people like to, and they're pretty tame as well.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: So people like to stop and take pictures of them.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: But that's it for today.
