Speaker 1: Call us in the building. Everybody, call us in the building.
0:02
Speaker 1: I told you my gud was gonna be here. I
0:04
Speaker 1: told you that I'm gonna add him to the stream
0:07
Speaker 1: right now.
0:10
Speaker 2: How's it going today, my friend? Hi, Rachie. I'm so
0:13
Speaker 2: sorry our babysitter. Our babysitter was out, so I had
0:17
Speaker 2: to like scramble real quick.
0:22
Speaker 1: It's okay, Carl, you know, I was telling them, I
0:24
Speaker 1: saying something, call will be here and if you can
0:27
Speaker 1: be here, we would make up the show. We always
0:29
Speaker 1: do it like that. But but Carl, I was I
0:32
Speaker 1: was talking about something on Archie. They were saying that
0:35
Speaker 1: you run lunched a surprise ballistic missile attack on US
0:40
Speaker 1: basis and Jordan, and I was telling everybody that they
0:42
Speaker 1: should be very skeptical about this due to the fact
0:45
Speaker 1: that this benefits the United States position as it is
0:51
Speaker 1: being attacked by Iran. And I also were telling people
0:54
Speaker 1: that the article said that the United the State's sitcome
0:59
Speaker 1: said they didn't knocked down all of the ballistic missiles. Now,
1:04
Speaker 1: how is that possible when just a week or so
1:07
Speaker 1: ago they said that US missile defenses were being.
1:12
Speaker 2: This is from the West.
1:13
Speaker 1: They said, we're being shredded by Iranian missiles and that
1:17
Speaker 1: it was opposing a real threat to US bases and
1:21
Speaker 1: soldiers over there because the US could not stop Uranian
1:25
Speaker 1: incoming ballistic missiles.
1:28
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, we're being serving a lot of
1:31
Speaker 2: propaganda right now, and the problem is Washington and the
1:35
Speaker 2: Pentagon is they start believing their own propaganda. To give
1:39
Speaker 2: you idea how much they underestimated Irang before the war.
1:44
Speaker 2: They estimated not you wrong, but China estimate China has
1:49
Speaker 2: total of three thousand ballistic missiles. Well, Rang already fired
1:54
Speaker 2: more than seven thousand ballistic missiles in this war. And
1:59
Speaker 2: then that then they told us, oh, US and Israel
2:02
Speaker 2: have destroyed all Iran's missile launching capability. Well that's obviously
2:06
Speaker 2: not you either. And you know there are people who
2:10
Speaker 2: are saying, oh, why is you run launching attack against
2:13
Speaker 2: all these golf Arab countries? You know, like Iran has
2:16
Speaker 2: bomb more Arab countries than the United States. Well, guess
2:20
Speaker 2: what those Arab country are where US are launching missile attacks?
2:26
Speaker 2: Wrong against Iran? So Uranians hitting those US military bases.
2:32
Speaker 2: And one of the class in the mu or Aka
2:36
Speaker 2: surrendered document that Trumps signed at Versailles specifically stated, you know,
2:42
Speaker 2: US withdraw from the region. That's one of the conditions
2:46
Speaker 2: of Iran for ending this crisis. And well, it looks
2:51
Speaker 2: like even though Trump doesn't want If Trump doesn't want
2:54
Speaker 2: to do it, Uranian's gonna do it for them. Because
2:57
Speaker 2: those bases they took billions of dollars and decades to build, Well,
3:03
Speaker 2: they're not going to get get rebuilt anytime soon now.
3:07
Speaker 2: And we know all the problems what US military faced
3:12
Speaker 2: even back after the Twelve Days War. Even back then,
3:15
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal has reported they have depleted a
3:19
Speaker 2: quarter a quarter of their fat missile interceptors. This was
3:25
Speaker 2: back last year. And yet foolishly Trump decided to go
3:31
Speaker 2: ahead and launch this war because he believed all those
3:35
Speaker 2: propaganda that was served about how great US military was
3:39
Speaker 2: and how easy it will be to do a decapitation
3:42
Speaker 2: strike and then Iran will kneel over. Well, guess what,
3:46
Speaker 2: Iran is a regional power, and now Iran is a
3:50
Speaker 2: world superpower because they they control the straighter Homos and
3:56
Speaker 2: US has no good military options. This is why Trump
4:00
Speaker 2: had to sign that surrender document aka m OU in
4:04
Speaker 2: the first place, because he said, okay, if the If
4:07
Speaker 2: the longer the strait is closed, the world is going
4:10
Speaker 2: to head to work a great depression. And I don't
4:13
Speaker 2: want to be the president Herbert Hoover who let the
4:17
Speaker 2: world down a great depression. Well guess what this is
4:21
Speaker 2: exactly what he's doing right now. He's doing a Herbert
4:23
Speaker 2: Hoover by restarting the conflict. And I think there might
4:29
Speaker 2: be multiple reasons why he did it. You know, one
4:32
Speaker 2: is typically Trump personality. He's a type of person he
4:36
Speaker 2: likes to do hardball negotiation. You want to always to
4:41
Speaker 2: offset his component. He wanted to put them off balance,
4:45
Speaker 2: and so right after he signed the MU he thought, Okay,
4:49
Speaker 2: maybe I can do another sneak attack on you run
4:51
Speaker 2: like you know, like like like like I did last time,
4:55
Speaker 2: but this tile hit them harder. But the problem is
4:59
Speaker 2: United they still does not have any cars. If they
5:02
Speaker 2: have any military option to reopen the street or her moose,
5:05
Speaker 2: they would have done it already. Uh you know, and
5:07
Speaker 2: and and today they rage an aerial campaign which have failed.
5:14
Speaker 2: They did a blockade on blockade which also failed. You know,
5:19
Speaker 2: Trump was floating the idea of ground invasion for a while,
5:22
Speaker 2: but that's that's let's face that's just fantasy, not gonna happen.
5:26
Speaker 2: You know, you right now, the US, the forces that
5:29
Speaker 2: US could mobilize for a ground invasion, it's about eight thousand,
5:33
Speaker 2: eight thousand personnels, you know, some marines and all the
5:36
Speaker 2: all the others. That's that's peanuts. Eight thousand is gonna
5:41
Speaker 2: not move a needle in the region. And then they
5:43
Speaker 2: were talking about, oh, we can possibly arm the Curves,
5:47
Speaker 2: the Iranian Kurdish militia that's that's based in Iraq, and
5:52
Speaker 2: then we'll send them to to to against Iran. Well,
5:55
Speaker 2: the Curves are not stupid. They don't want to be.
5:58
Speaker 2: They don't want to be the meat he sent to
6:00
Speaker 2: the knee grinder, and they happily accepted American weapons and
6:05
Speaker 2: they did nothing, and the Uran hit them anyway inside Iraq.
6:09
Speaker 2: So that's not a realistic option. And so but what
6:14
Speaker 2: what Trump right now he is, you know, he's he's
6:19
Speaker 2: very good at creating these public spectacles and distractions from
6:25
Speaker 2: his own personal failures. You know, one failure is well,
6:30
Speaker 2: one thing is Epstein File. You know, he's hoping people
6:33
Speaker 2: would just forget about Epstein File if you keep on
6:37
Speaker 2: like wage pivoting from war to wars. You know, when
6:40
Speaker 2: you have a world economic depression that's that's been coming people,
6:45
Speaker 2: you know, maybe people will forget about Epstein file. And
6:49
Speaker 2: this is why they're releasing all types of crazy stories
6:52
Speaker 2: about UFOs. And now he's claiming that China have had
6:56
Speaker 2: manipulated US election in twenty twenty. I mean, uh, this
7:01
Speaker 2: is this he's getting desperate, But ultimately US military has
7:07
Speaker 2: proven to be a paper tiger. It does not. Had
7:12
Speaker 2: Trump just order a pause to the new attack in
7:16
Speaker 2: Iran because the Pentagon officier finally told him, look, we're
7:20
Speaker 2: running up of ammunitions, both the missiles to hit Iran
7:25
Speaker 2: and the missile interceptors.
7:27
Speaker 3: Uh.
7:27
Speaker 2: There was a recent reporting that the Pentagon they have
7:30
Speaker 2: to now carefully calibrate which Iranian missiles incoming miss out
7:36
Speaker 2: they will intercept because they're running out of missile interceptors,
7:40
Speaker 2: so they have to save under ammunition. They decide, okay,
7:44
Speaker 2: maybe maybe that one will cause more damage, will go
7:48
Speaker 2: after that. I mean, this is terrible, This is terrible
7:51
Speaker 2: newsful for United States. Uh, it's it's it's Iran is
7:54
Speaker 2: systematically dismantling the US basis and its military aligned system
8:01
Speaker 2: around the region, and it also shows that the the
8:06
Speaker 2: Golf Arab countries the folly of being a US vassal
8:10
Speaker 2: you know, the advantage, the supposed advantage of being a
8:15
Speaker 2: US vassal state is that US is supposed to offer
8:18
Speaker 2: you protection. You know, you you pay US protection money
8:23
Speaker 2: and they're supposed to offer you protection. Well, guess what.
8:26
Speaker 2: Rather than an asset, the alliance with the United States
8:31
Speaker 2: is now is a liability because it turns out by
8:34
Speaker 2: hosting US basis on your soil from where you can
8:37
Speaker 2: launch attack against Iram makes you a target of Ranian
8:41
Speaker 2: jones and missiles. Surprise, surprise. And this this is a
8:45
Speaker 2: lesson that all the other countries all throughout the world
8:49
Speaker 2: that currently hosts US military basis is now taking note.
8:53
Speaker 2: You know, I'm talking about you, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines.
8:59
Speaker 2: You know, I guess what your basis also get all
9:02
Speaker 2: they US military bases in your country also be toast.
9:06
Speaker 2: If there's a war with China that's going hog and
9:10
Speaker 2: and you have to think about the costs, you know,
9:12
Speaker 2: whether it's worth it. Uh And right now for the
9:15
Speaker 2: for the Golf countries, increasingly, they're increasingly dire straight because
9:21
Speaker 2: Kuwait hasn't sold oil in month, and they also depend
9:25
Speaker 2: on imports of like everyday necessities like food and and
9:30
Speaker 2: nobody is going to the Straight of hor Moves And yeah,
9:33
Speaker 2: many just announced guess what they're gonna They're they're finally
9:36
Speaker 2: closing down the Red Sea. So prior to the war,
9:40
Speaker 2: they were about twenty million barrels of oil coming out
9:43
Speaker 2: of Persian Golf, which is about twenty percent of the
9:46
Speaker 2: world's oil supply. You know, because the war consumed about
9:50
Speaker 2: one hundred million barrels of oil per day. And after
9:54
Speaker 2: US and Israel launches illegal attack on Iran, Uh, the
9:58
Speaker 2: Straight oh hor Mooves was but Saldi and UAE were
10:02
Speaker 2: able to ship some oil through pipeline to other ports.
10:06
Speaker 2: So for UAE, they were shipping their oil to a
10:09
Speaker 2: UAE pipeline to Fujara, a port that's that's just sitting
10:14
Speaker 2: outside of the Strait of Homos and Salidise were doing.
10:18
Speaker 2: They were sending through across Audio Arabia through the Portal
10:25
Speaker 2: Yamboo on the Red Sea and sending the oil out
10:27
Speaker 2: that way. Now, the Portal Yamboo has a capacity of
10:31
Speaker 2: about four point five million barrels of oil per day,
10:36
Speaker 2: and the UAE pipeline could send probably one to two
10:40
Speaker 2: million barrels of oil per day. Well, Uran said, you
10:44
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna cut you no more slack. I'm
10:47
Speaker 2: going to hit those points too. So Fujara is basically
10:50
Speaker 2: effectively being shut down right now by Iranie and Jones
10:53
Speaker 2: and missiles and yeah, Many just a launch attack against
10:57
Speaker 2: Saudi refineries and they hit and there's also report to
11:02
Speaker 2: hit this straight of Yamboo, the port of Yamboo, and
11:05
Speaker 2: they're also announcing they're closing off the bout Man Dead
11:10
Speaker 2: the straight that closed off the Red Sea. So that
11:15
Speaker 2: will take that takes off about five to six million
11:18
Speaker 2: barrels of oil per day from the world market. Uh,
11:23
Speaker 2: that's huge because like for the last couple of weeks,
11:28
Speaker 2: there has been news circling around that China saved the
11:31
Speaker 2: world because China voluntarily cut back on their oil import. Well,
11:36
Speaker 2: China cut about cut down about half of the oil import,
11:39
Speaker 2: which is huge, which is about five point five million
11:42
Speaker 2: barrels per day. That's the only reason that for a
11:44
Speaker 2: while the oil price remained under one hundred. Well now, yeah,
11:49
Speaker 2: Many just took out the Red Sea and that is
11:54
Speaker 2: equivalent the amount of oil coming out of Red Sea
11:58
Speaker 2: and the UAE pipeline was equivalent of how much China
12:03
Speaker 2: already cut back. So that means there's no more slack
12:07
Speaker 2: you know, all the world oil market. Uh. You know,
12:11
Speaker 2: for the last couple of months, the world has got
12:13
Speaker 2: backed by by drawing down their strategic oil reserves. Well,
12:19
Speaker 2: those those inventory are dangerously low right now. United States
12:23
Speaker 2: is less than a month away from running out of
12:27
Speaker 2: coude oil inventory in US and everywhere else. It's even
12:31
Speaker 2: more dire because US has one of the world's largest
12:35
Speaker 2: uh strategic oil reserve. You know, only country that's sitting
12:39
Speaker 2: pretty right now is actually China. Because China, they had
12:43
Speaker 2: the world's largest strategic oil petroleum reserve at one point
12:47
Speaker 2: four billion barrels of oil. That's bigger than the United States, uh, Europe, Japan,
12:54
Speaker 2: the rest of the world combined. And and and China
12:57
Speaker 2: has has laid a head long term plan to shift
13:00
Speaker 2: away from oil and gas because you know, they electrify
13:04
Speaker 2: their country, they built high speed rail everywhere, and then
13:08
Speaker 2: they have they had a ev transition. So on top
13:12
Speaker 2: of that, China has the world's most advanced code to
13:15
Speaker 2: oil technology. They can convert code to oil and that
13:20
Speaker 2: process will be profitable at approximately seventy five dollars per
13:26
Speaker 2: barrel oil price. Well guess what, like recently the oil
13:30
Speaker 2: price is shut up, shot be past one hundred, so
13:34
Speaker 2: China will just switch to coal. And China has plenty
13:37
Speaker 2: of col This is why China was able to cut
13:39
Speaker 2: their import of oil by half. It's just classic buy low,
13:45
Speaker 2: sell high. China has been buying all this oil for
13:48
Speaker 2: the last two years when the oil price was low.
13:50
Speaker 2: Now the oil price sky high, They're like, okay, we
13:53
Speaker 2: don't need to buy anymore with swaight, we have plenty
13:55
Speaker 2: of oil for ourselves. And this this goes the whole
14:01
Speaker 2: you know, usn tanks plan of somehow using Iran or
14:06
Speaker 2: Venezuela as a as a leverage against China by choking
14:10
Speaker 2: off Chinese energy supply. Because China has been paying attention.
14:13
Speaker 2: All these think tanks have been talking about choking off
14:16
Speaker 2: China's energy supply from from the Persian Gulf for decades.
14:19
Speaker 2: They keep on talking about the Malacca dilemma, the Malacca
14:23
Speaker 2: choke point. The United States Navy can close off Judeo
14:27
Speaker 2: Malacca and choke off the Chinese energy supply. So China
14:31
Speaker 2: has been planning ahead. You know Okay, that's what you're
14:32
Speaker 2: gonna do. Well, okay, guess what, We're just gonna pivot
14:35
Speaker 2: away from oil. We'll just we'll find other ways. We'll
14:38
Speaker 2: find other oil sources. We'll build pipoon to Russia, to
14:41
Speaker 2: Central Asia. You know, China get a lot of their
14:44
Speaker 2: natural gas from Central Asia and from Russia, and so
14:48
Speaker 2: they're good. They have they have enough supply for their
14:52
Speaker 2: domestic producers. Chinese farmers are getting plenty of fertilizers which
14:57
Speaker 2: then make from again from coal. This is not the
15:00
Speaker 2: case for the rest of the world. And Donald Trump
15:06
Speaker 2: now is in a much weaker position than the time
15:10
Speaker 2: when he signed the surrender documented their side, because like
15:14
Speaker 2: I said, the buffer, the buffer is almost gone. The
15:17
Speaker 2: world strategic oil reserve is almost gone. And with additional
15:22
Speaker 2: production capacity that got me taken out in you know,
15:26
Speaker 2: the sea route through Red Sea closed down. We are
15:31
Speaker 2: moving closer and closer to a world economic meltdown. Before
15:38
Speaker 2: the MoU was signed, the reason why he was signed
15:42
Speaker 2: because somebody Trump's advisor had told him, if this situation
15:46
Speaker 2: allowed to go on till end of end of July,
15:50
Speaker 2: we're going to face the world depression. Well guess what,
15:53
Speaker 2: look look at that. It's a July twenty eighth coming
16:00
Speaker 2: up to August, and it's we are while on track.
16:05
Speaker 2: You know, Trump is will on track to become the
16:08
Speaker 2: next Herber Hoover, you know, the the US president that
16:11
Speaker 2: launched the world into a great depression. So they don't
16:15
Speaker 2: have good options. They do not have good options, and
16:18
Speaker 2: US is looking weaker than ever, you know, like this
16:22
Speaker 2: is this is why Trump is my president, you know,
16:26
Speaker 2: because we accelerate the decline of the US Empire like
16:30
Speaker 2: no other. He is doing a great job desjoying the
16:35
Speaker 2: wealth and power the US Empire has built up over
16:38
Speaker 2: from the last two hundred and fifty years. So go
16:41
Speaker 2: Trump disease.
16:45
Speaker 1: He says it was extortion, not protection when he was
16:48
Speaker 1: talking about the basis in the Middle East, well West Asia,
16:52
Speaker 1: but they call it the Middle East. But Carl I
16:56
Speaker 1: happen to think that even though Trump is not the
17:01
Speaker 1: average politician and a lot of the stuff that he's
17:03
Speaker 1: doing is helping to bring down the empire, I happened
17:09
Speaker 1: to think that it would have whoever was in would
17:13
Speaker 1: be in that same position. Also due to the fact
17:15
Speaker 1: that America is losing her position in every area, and
17:20
Speaker 1: they had a timeline. Remember, they war gained it, they
17:23
Speaker 1: studied it. They all the think tanks said that they
17:26
Speaker 1: had to twenty twenty seven to twenty twenty six to
17:30
Speaker 1: prevent China breakout capacity. And if they could not do it,
17:33
Speaker 1: then China would just leap frog them in everything. So
17:38
Speaker 1: I when we look at the scenario in Iran, it
17:42
Speaker 1: was a bad scenario. But they thought that, in my opinion,
17:46
Speaker 1: they thought that with Venezuela under wraps and Iran, like
17:52
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham said that they would have a control over
17:55
Speaker 1: a third of the oil and gas reserves, which would
17:58
Speaker 1: keep the US dollar relevant even in the changing of
18:03
Speaker 1: the of the global order. And and that means that
18:07
Speaker 1: the United States could have remained a power in such
18:09
Speaker 1: a way. But now she picked her poison, and the
18:14
Speaker 1: poison has now seeked into the blood vessels, and and
18:17
Speaker 1: and and and the more moves she makes, the more
18:20
Speaker 1: the poison goes into the to the vessels. And we're
18:23
Speaker 1: seeing desperation set in because now Iran has proven itself
18:29
Speaker 1: to be able to defend itself. Iran is showing the
18:32
Speaker 1: world listen, we we stand on our sovereignty. Iran is
18:37
Speaker 1: telling the world that we will not bow. You're not
18:39
Speaker 1: gonna come into our area and dictate to us. And
18:42
Speaker 1: and and I all also have to add that Iran
18:46
Speaker 1: is even showing Russia. And you have to fight this
18:48
Speaker 1: beast the way this beast is fighting you. You have
18:51
Speaker 1: to hit them hard. You cannot just let them do
18:54
Speaker 1: the things that they were doing in in Ukraine. And
18:57
Speaker 1: you see Russia now is up in the anti in Ukraine.
19:01
Speaker 1: After seeing that Iran exposed America to be this paper
19:05
Speaker 1: tiger and me saying that goes to the fact that
19:08
Speaker 1: they chose Iran with China specifically in mind, because if
19:14
Speaker 1: they get Iran, they stepped the building road, they stopped
19:19
Speaker 1: the North South Corridor, they sit on one third of
19:23
Speaker 1: the world's all in gas. They controlled the quote unquote
19:27
Speaker 1: the Strait of Malacca, the Arabian Gulf, the Persian Gulf,
19:31
Speaker 1: the Strait of her Moods, the Red Sea, and then
19:35
Speaker 1: they could hold China's economy. The hostage and control is
19:44
Speaker 1: its rise or whatever. And I think that they mistook
19:49
Speaker 1: a lot of patients, slept runs, patients and the humility
19:53
Speaker 1: for weakness, and it has gotten them in this condition.
19:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's a saying that just because you're
20:00
Speaker 2: paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Well,
20:04
Speaker 2: there's a corolla or to that. Just because United States
20:09
Speaker 2: have all these evil master plans to take over the
20:12
Speaker 2: world doesn't mean they're competent enough to carry them out.
20:16
Speaker 2: I mean, we have seen the results, you know what
20:18
Speaker 2: they have done since the Iraq War. You know, back then,
20:23
Speaker 2: Alan Greenspan in his memoirs set when they launched the
20:27
Speaker 2: war in Iraq, their goal was to control the flow
20:30
Speaker 2: of oil in the Persian Gulf because they saw that
20:33
Speaker 2: China was already rising in the early two thousand and
20:36
Speaker 2: China's has increasingly increasing dependence on the hydrocarbons flowing out
20:42
Speaker 2: of the Persian Golf. So they thought, if we go
20:44
Speaker 2: to Iraq take control of its oil field, you will
20:47
Speaker 2: get to dictate where the world oil flows. Well, I
20:51
Speaker 2: mean Iraq was unmitigated disaster for the United States. US
20:56
Speaker 2: basically waits spent like ten more than a decade waging
21:01
Speaker 2: the so called Great War on Tear. Only effect he
21:05
Speaker 2: has is, you know, he killed a lot of people, impoverished, millions,
21:11
Speaker 2: killed millions. Iraqis enriched the US military industrial complex. You know,
21:16
Speaker 2: all the companies like ally Burton. They made out like bandit,
21:21
Speaker 2: but the US comprehensive national power was severely weakened. So
21:25
Speaker 2: because rather than investing its own infrastructure, its own industry
21:29
Speaker 2: the way China did, investing into all the weapons, all
21:33
Speaker 2: the payout, all the money, all the grift money going
21:36
Speaker 2: to all these militarytory contractors. So this allowed China a
21:43
Speaker 2: window of opportunity to concentrate on its development for the
21:47
Speaker 2: last twenty years. And now now it's too late. It's
21:50
Speaker 2: too late for them to try to contain China. Tony Blinkett,
21:55
Speaker 2: of all people, recently admitted in an interview, he said,
21:59
Speaker 2: you'll be very hard for United States to come from
22:01
Speaker 2: China one on one. There will be a mismatch because
22:04
Speaker 2: they have a lot bigger industrial base, and they have
22:08
Speaker 2: a lot bigger markets, they have a lot more people.
22:12
Speaker 2: This is why we need our allies. We need to
22:14
Speaker 2: rally together our allies in Europe and Japan and Korea
22:19
Speaker 2: so we can gang up on China together. Right, But
22:22
Speaker 2: this is basically a mission. The United States cannot go
22:27
Speaker 2: alone come from China anymore because the power differential is
22:33
Speaker 2: just too great. They are no match for China's industrial mind.
22:38
Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that they gave up trying, because
22:42
Speaker 2: they the whole American identity is now tied into oh,
22:47
Speaker 2: we are USA number one, the greatest empire in the world.
22:51
Speaker 2: We can't give up our top dog status. We cannot
22:55
Speaker 2: lose to China, you know, as you say, a non Western,
22:58
Speaker 2: non white nation. And so they are going down with
23:02
Speaker 2: the ship all the they're they're they're lashing out. They're
23:05
Speaker 2: completely lashing out because just like industry of hormones, they
23:10
Speaker 2: have no good options. They have no good option to
23:13
Speaker 2: to fundamentally change the power balance. So so what they
23:18
Speaker 2: try to do is they try to be a spoiler.
23:21
Speaker 2: They're trying to be trying to you know what that is.
23:24
Speaker 2: It's like a spoiled child. You know what that that
23:28
Speaker 2: nice toy. If I can't have it, well you can't
23:30
Speaker 2: have it either, I'm gonna destroy it. And and this
23:33
Speaker 2: is what United States is doing to the planet right now.
23:36
Speaker 2: It's causing havoc all around the globe. You're hoping to,
23:42
Speaker 2: you know, that way to make United States itself in
23:45
Speaker 2: this oasis of calm, so you will all the world's
23:51
Speaker 2: that money will continue to float back to the United States.
23:55
Speaker 2: You know, whether in the treasuries or real estate or
23:59
Speaker 2: stock market, you know, because that's what Trump all care about.
24:02
Speaker 2: The stock market. He points at the stock market all
24:05
Speaker 2: the time. Another reason he is pausing the operation recently
24:11
Speaker 2: because he saw the stock market starting to starting to
24:15
Speaker 2: pay attention and and and start to go down. By
24:18
Speaker 2: the way, the stock that the U s Stock market
24:20
Speaker 2: is a total you know, this total bubble. You know,
24:23
Speaker 2: all that money is going to AI and all the
24:25
Speaker 2: companies that's serving all these uh, all these AI companies, Uh,
24:30
Speaker 2: they they there's no way they can justify uh their
24:34
Speaker 2: stress for fair evaluations. And we're counting on money flow
24:41
Speaker 2: from the wrestle World pop that up. Particularly, they were
24:45
Speaker 2: counting on money from the golf you know, they were
24:48
Speaker 2: hoping all the golf Arab country will recycle their dollar
24:51
Speaker 2: surpluses from selling oil back to the US. Well, guess what,
24:56
Speaker 2: Kawait head and sold oil in mon. They're they're they're
25:00
Speaker 2: they need all the money themselves, you know, like they
25:02
Speaker 2: were expecting all the golf Arab countries to fund the
25:06
Speaker 2: AI bubble. That money not coming. I'm sorry. They the
25:10
Speaker 2: golf country now need all that oil money to rebuild
25:14
Speaker 2: their own domestic oil infrastructure to do once the war ends.
25:19
Speaker 2: Right now, they can't do anything. They're just sitting in
25:22
Speaker 2: their hands and watching hopelessly as see United States plunging
25:27
Speaker 2: them into this existential crisis. So, on one hand, I
25:33
Speaker 2: think the United States was able to do what it
25:36
Speaker 2: does because US hasn't really suffered the consequences the way
25:43
Speaker 2: that other people have, you know, whether the people in
25:46
Speaker 2: the golf Arab countries or the people in Iran or Gaza.
25:50
Speaker 2: So this why the USC lead could afford to lash
25:55
Speaker 2: out like a petulant child, because they haven't really suffered
25:59
Speaker 2: the consequences. But I I think it's we're not We're
26:05
Speaker 2: we're getting closer. We're getting closer to the day of reckoning.
26:11
Speaker 2: The situation in the United States is not sustainable. Everything
26:14
Speaker 2: is boiling over us. They're just right now. The only
26:21
Speaker 2: thing that's propping up US empire is the control of
26:27
Speaker 2: the Dowary hegemony, which is very wobbling due to the
26:31
Speaker 2: US actions, the US military which proven to be a
26:35
Speaker 2: paper tiger, and and tech. You know, that's why they
26:41
Speaker 2: put all their hope in the AI bubble. But but
26:45
Speaker 2: this is why they feel increasingly threatened by China because
26:48
Speaker 2: China is coming out with all these open source AI
26:53
Speaker 2: model they're handing out for free to everyone, and and
26:56
Speaker 2: so what does United States have? All the legs of
27:02
Speaker 2: the US empire right now is increasingly wobbly. Uh, it's
27:06
Speaker 2: only a matter of time when everything just top over.
27:13
Speaker 1: Before we go to Dave's question to you, it's something
27:15
Speaker 1: that I wanted to speak on concerning this because I
27:20
Speaker 1: think this gets overlooked a lot by analysts, not just
27:24
Speaker 1: the the mainstream media, but I'm talking about alternative media also.
27:29
Speaker 1: When they look at the situation, the fiscal situation of America,
27:34
Speaker 1: and they they they believe that America can bounce back.
27:38
Speaker 1: And when they look at the military situation, how America
27:41
Speaker 1: has she shot or shot and she's low on ammunition,
27:45
Speaker 1: but she's still waging war. She's looking at the leadership
27:48
Speaker 1: that that has proven to be inept and even pretty
27:54
Speaker 1: much berserkers. They always it's saved that America will be
28:01
Speaker 1: a pole of power amongst many powers. And if history
28:07
Speaker 1: best rewards those who research it, and if science and
28:11
Speaker 1: mathematics teaches us that no matter what you add, if
28:15
Speaker 1: you add one and one, it'll never be forty four.
28:18
Speaker 1: If we look at the way the empires fail before
28:21
Speaker 1: in America is the greatest debt to nation in the
28:23
Speaker 1: history of the flipping world. She has accumulated more debt
28:27
Speaker 1: than all of the nations in the entire history of
28:30
Speaker 1: the world combined. How can America maintain herself as a
28:35
Speaker 1: pole of power in this this changing or switching paradigm
28:40
Speaker 1: which is not only leaving her behind, but it is
28:43
Speaker 1: leaving the entire Wesstern world behind. And as you said,
28:48
Speaker 1: they're lashing out. Why do you think that pundance and
28:53
Speaker 1: analysts refuse to acknowledge that because you can't overcome math.
28:58
Speaker 1: I don't care how much you add six, You're not
29:02
Speaker 1: going to get seventy billions and history it's a road
29:06
Speaker 1: map and learn from that.
29:10
Speaker 2: And if.
29:13
Speaker 1: On field and if the Roman power field, and how
29:17
Speaker 1: do they believe that America is the exception to the
29:20
Speaker 1: scientific and the historical and mathematical rule.
29:26
Speaker 2: Well, you have a lot of these smart people quote
29:29
Speaker 2: unquote smart people from Wall Street right now. A lot
29:32
Speaker 2: of them are in the Trump administration. Now, people's like
29:35
Speaker 2: Scott Bessett, for example, there's a they think they are
29:41
Speaker 2: smarter than everyone else. They thought, okay, not a problem
29:45
Speaker 2: you know, yes, the USTAT is unsustainable, but we can
29:48
Speaker 2: just print money. We can print US dollars off the wazoo. Well,
29:53
Speaker 2: but the effect of pretty money is you are impoverishing
29:59
Speaker 2: the Americans. You are when the dollar devaluates, what you're
30:04
Speaker 2: gonna do, You're gonna bring the living standard down? Uh
30:09
Speaker 2: you know that then then that too, you know, eventually
30:12
Speaker 2: you have gonna have to bring the living standard of
30:15
Speaker 2: the United States down to the to the level of
30:18
Speaker 2: the global sous in order to compete. So they're like, okakay,
30:22
Speaker 2: but we can finangle this. We can still finangle this.
30:25
Speaker 2: We will wage wars all around the world. So those money,
30:30
Speaker 2: the global money is supplied, they have no choice but
30:34
Speaker 2: to continually come to the United States. That will pop
30:36
Speaker 2: up the dollar. That's what's happening right now. By the way,
30:39
Speaker 2: you know, when the when the oil price shot up,
30:43
Speaker 2: because you know, petro dollar is still a thing. People
30:47
Speaker 2: need dollar to buy oil. So so dollar is particularly
30:53
Speaker 2: strong right now. All the Asian currencies right now they're devalue,
30:57
Speaker 2: they have they're devaluating against the dollar. And not just
31:00
Speaker 2: countries like Indonesia or the Philippines or Thailand, Uh, but
31:06
Speaker 2: also advanced economies like South Korea and Japan, because all
31:10
Speaker 2: of them depend on oil imports from the Persian Gulf,
31:14
Speaker 2: which has been shut off by this US military option operation.
31:19
Speaker 2: So the effect of that is these these the money
31:23
Speaker 2: from these these countries, they they seek safe haven in
31:29
Speaker 2: the US stock market. That that's what like Beston and
31:33
Speaker 2: those guys think that, you know, they have outsmarted everyone.
31:38
Speaker 2: The only currency that's appreciating against US dollar is actually
31:43
Speaker 2: R and B the Chinese people's money because guess what
31:48
Speaker 2: China makes everything They don't. They don't and they already
31:51
Speaker 2: show that they're not really that dependent on the oil imports.
31:55
Speaker 2: You know, they can they can find ways around it.
31:59
Speaker 2: So the very dangerous game of manipulation they're playing can
32:07
Speaker 2: only go on so long. Like I said, with all
32:11
Speaker 2: the money that come into the US doock market, they're
32:15
Speaker 2: expecting a return, right, They're expecting a return at some point,
32:20
Speaker 2: but there's not going to be a much return because
32:23
Speaker 2: if you look at this AI company, what they're doing
32:25
Speaker 2: with all this money, all the money there is going
32:28
Speaker 2: to build data centers are around the country. Well, what's
32:31
Speaker 2: insight those data centers they're populating those data centers with
32:35
Speaker 2: like very expensive Nvidia Advanced AI chips. Well, guess what
32:43
Speaker 2: when China invests billions of dollars to build high speed
32:48
Speaker 2: rail back in two thousand and oh eight twenty years later,
32:53
Speaker 2: they're shipping, still shipping hundreds of millions of people around
32:58
Speaker 2: you know, those high speed rail is. They're still working, functioning.
33:02
Speaker 2: What happens? Will you buy computer equipment and let them
33:05
Speaker 2: set for four to five years, they become useless the
33:11
Speaker 2: computer equipment they get more worthless day by day because
33:17
Speaker 2: you know, the advancement in technology. So all those insae
33:23
Speaker 2: amount of money they're building all around the country, they're
33:27
Speaker 2: pouring into the data center, they're pouring into deppreciating asset
33:32
Speaker 2: that goes down in value day by day. And the
33:36
Speaker 2: only way for them to keep sustaining it is they
33:39
Speaker 2: have to buy more, buy more equipment. Well, you're not
33:43
Speaker 2: making any money though, you know, like you're selling people
33:47
Speaker 2: a pipe dream that basically, at one point everyone will
33:51
Speaker 2: have to depend on their AI models. Then they will
33:55
Speaker 2: get to click a toe, you know, basically online. You know,
33:58
Speaker 2: anybody who who who wants, who wants to do anything,
34:03
Speaker 2: will have to rely on their AI and you have
34:05
Speaker 2: to pay their web fee. Well guess what that that model,
34:09
Speaker 2: that monopoly model is looking increasingly unlikely because China has
34:14
Speaker 2: been handing out this open source AI to everyone. You know,
34:19
Speaker 2: people can just install it on their local machines and
34:22
Speaker 2: run locally. And like, why then you need to pay
34:26
Speaker 2: the big bucks for open AI? Or anthropics? Who again
34:33
Speaker 2: is they? They? They the only way they can keep
34:36
Speaker 2: going if they sucking more money. You know, it's it's
34:40
Speaker 2: it's it's a. It's a they have to keep the
34:42
Speaker 2: snowball rolling. But you know, the irrational exuberance can only
34:45
Speaker 2: go out for so long. You know, eventually that bubble
34:49
Speaker 2: is going to burst. And when that bubble does bursts,
34:53
Speaker 2: it's gonna have terrible consequences. Because right now, if you
34:56
Speaker 2: take away all the AI investment, all the data center
34:59
Speaker 2: investm many in the United States, US economy is not growing.
35:03
Speaker 2: In fact, US economy would be in recession already if
35:07
Speaker 2: you take away all the investments into AI, and I
35:12
Speaker 2: just cannot see they can't sustain that level of irrational
35:17
Speaker 2: exerbance for long. I mean, I don't know how long
35:20
Speaker 2: it's gonna last. I mean it could last another year
35:23
Speaker 2: or two. You know, they're selling you this pipe dream
35:26
Speaker 2: that one. It's okay, we can just keep on plowing
35:29
Speaker 2: money until we reach AGI, you know, the artificial general intelligence,
35:35
Speaker 2: and you will be like the computer. They will be
35:37
Speaker 2: smarter than humans, will have the equivalent of hundreds of
35:41
Speaker 2: thousands of PhD working for free, you know, not ut
35:45
Speaker 2: not pooping, you know, working, not sleeping, and that will
35:50
Speaker 2: be able to fire all the white colored workers, save
35:54
Speaker 2: you a lot of money. Well, if everybody is getting
35:58
Speaker 2: laid off, who is gonna buy anything? And so you know, computers,
36:04
Speaker 2: they don't consume AI they cannot be consumers. They cannot
36:08
Speaker 2: sustain a consume consumer economy like the United States. So
36:11
Speaker 2: this is a house of cards, you know they are.
36:15
Speaker 2: They're selling you pipe dreams and they it's like what
36:19
Speaker 2: Donald Trump does. They keep on selling you like smoking mirrors,
36:25
Speaker 2: like all these distractions. But the fundamentals are rotten from inside.
36:31
Speaker 2: And you know it's it's just a matter of time.
36:35
Speaker 2: This is its only a matter of time for all
36:37
Speaker 2: the edifice, all the thing to crumble down. You know,
36:41
Speaker 2: we just have to wait and see. Don't forget it.
36:45
Speaker 1: With all that happening. Also, it could set the text
36:47
Speaker 1: revenue base because you have no workers, so you can't
36:50
Speaker 1: text the workers, so you put your economy even in
36:54
Speaker 1: more jeopardy about that. But Dave says he has a
36:58
Speaker 1: question for you. That's the mood in Indonesia with Chinese
37:02
Speaker 1: minds closing.
37:04
Speaker 2: So, Indonesia right now is in a lot of economic trouble.
37:08
Speaker 2: And one reason it is in trouble is because Indonesia
37:13
Speaker 2: is a large importer of energy. In Indonesia use about
37:18
Speaker 2: one point six million barrels of oil per day and
37:21
Speaker 2: Indonesia only produced six hundred six hundred thousand barrels of
37:25
Speaker 2: oil domestically, So that means Indonesia needs to import one
37:29
Speaker 2: million barrels of coude oil from abroad and straight or
37:35
Speaker 2: Homus is closed and so so and the Indonesian government
37:40
Speaker 2: there have been, you know, traditionally the subsidized field, the
37:44
Speaker 2: subsidized petroleum, the subsidized electricity. So now the the Indonesian
37:53
Speaker 2: government budget is blooming because now they have to pay
37:57
Speaker 2: addition or increase UH state subsidies for fuel and UH.
38:03
Speaker 2: And that's not something that can easily taken away because
38:06
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people depending on that. There's
38:10
Speaker 2: a lot of everybody here who owns scooters. You know,
38:13
Speaker 2: scooters they use petrol and and so it will be
38:18
Speaker 2: politically suicide for any Indonesian political leaders say oh, we're
38:22
Speaker 2: gonna get rid of the field subsidies. So so on
38:28
Speaker 2: top of that, just before the war, Indonesian government actually
38:32
Speaker 2: announced more government spending UH to provide free school launches.
38:37
Speaker 2: So that's additional expense that need to be paid out
38:41
Speaker 2: of the government budget. So so right now they have
38:43
Speaker 2: a huge shortfall in the government revenue to make up
38:48
Speaker 2: for the expenses. So they thought, okay, where can we
38:51
Speaker 2: get more money. Let's squeeze all the Chinese companies that
38:55
Speaker 2: invest in Indonesia that have you know, they figure, okay,
38:59
Speaker 2: they have no where to go, because the Chinese companies
39:02
Speaker 2: already invested billions of dollars in all the mining operation,
39:07
Speaker 2: all the refining plants inside Indonesia. They say, okay, well,
39:12
Speaker 2: we'll raise will squeeze them for more money. But what
39:16
Speaker 2: happened is that some of the Chinese companies they just realize, okay,
39:22
Speaker 2: it's not worth it. It's not worth it if we're
39:24
Speaker 2: not going to make if we're not allowed to make
39:26
Speaker 2: a profit, we're not going to maintain our operation of laws.
39:30
Speaker 2: So they start closing down their plans, which is bad
39:33
Speaker 2: for Indonesia economy because these plants also employ a lot
39:37
Speaker 2: of local workers. This is really a bad situation. And
39:42
Speaker 2: again this is mainly due to the straightor home loose crisis.
39:47
Speaker 2: And this is the same similar drama is playing out
39:50
Speaker 2: all throughout the region. By the way, you know, Philippine
39:52
Speaker 2: is another case. They depend ninety nine percent of their
39:58
Speaker 2: feel imports come from a bra come from you know,
40:03
Speaker 2: per mostly from from Persian Gulf. So they also got
40:07
Speaker 2: hit really hard. But their their their their response, their
40:11
Speaker 2: government response is let's let's stir up tention with China
40:15
Speaker 2: to distract the public from the real economic uh dire
40:19
Speaker 2: straight we're in you know, when China was the one
40:22
Speaker 2: that saved a lot of the Southeast Asian countries. Asked
40:26
Speaker 2: recently because they uh they recently resumed shipment of of
40:33
Speaker 2: a refined petroleum product like gasoline and diesel, because initially
40:39
Speaker 2: China put up put a stop because China has even
40:42
Speaker 2: though it imports crude oil and natural gas, but China
40:45
Speaker 2: has large refining capacities, so it usually imports a lot.
40:50
Speaker 2: But you also export a lot of gasoline, diesel, jet feel.
40:53
Speaker 2: For example, Australia, they imports thirty two percent of their
40:57
Speaker 2: jet field from China. So when China initially put a
41:01
Speaker 2: stop to the export, you know, everyone was panicking. And
41:04
Speaker 2: and after a month, China realized, oh, we have plenty,
41:08
Speaker 2: we have plenty for ourselves, you know, so they lifted
41:10
Speaker 2: the export control. That saved the assets of a lot
41:14
Speaker 2: of the Southeast Asian countries. But this is UH, this
41:19
Speaker 2: is this is really bad for UH countries in global
41:24
Speaker 2: souths in general, because the rich countries like the United States, Europe, Japan,
41:29
Speaker 2: because they have money, they can always bid outbid the
41:34
Speaker 2: other nations to purchase a limited oil supply from the
41:38
Speaker 2: world market. Whereas you know, Philippines and Indonesia they're not
41:44
Speaker 2: rich countries. They're already being stretched thin and and and
41:48
Speaker 2: they can't come up. They they will not be able
41:51
Speaker 2: to compete for UH for more expensive oil supplies. And
41:56
Speaker 2: this is why there's shortages UH and and and that
42:01
Speaker 2: that's why China when China cut back its oil imports
42:06
Speaker 2: by half, that again, you know, save these assets of
42:10
Speaker 2: these countries. But like I said, that buffer is running thin,
42:15
Speaker 2: red sea is closed, and and this is everybody is
42:20
Speaker 2: gonna hurt, but most people in the Global South country
42:25
Speaker 2: will be hurt a lot more. There's another reason why
42:30
Speaker 2: USC leads thought they can get away with it, because
42:32
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, we will be hurt a little less.
42:36
Speaker 2: Then well, they're not gonna get hurt. By what it means.
42:38
Speaker 2: American workers will get hurt a little bit less and
42:41
Speaker 2: the people in the Global South. So maybe the American
42:44
Speaker 2: workers won't revote against us while we continue our shenanigans.
42:50
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, I don't know how long
42:52
Speaker 2: that that does, that game can be sustained because you know,
42:56
Speaker 2: the price that the pump has already risen. You know,
43:00
Speaker 2: a lot of the American working class families, they're already
43:04
Speaker 2: being hard pressed by all kinds of inflation. By the way,
43:08
Speaker 2: also not help by Trump's care Trump Trump and Trump,
43:13
Speaker 2: which Trump is reintroducing is there if again. So yeah,
43:18
Speaker 2: this is a perfect storm. This is a perfect storm.
43:20
Speaker 2: We're staring right into the economic the world economic precipitous,
43:27
Speaker 2: and and and and we are just a few steps
43:30
Speaker 2: from falling into a world depression. Was a big d
43:35
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's gonna be worse than than than
43:38
Speaker 2: what we had before.
43:40
Speaker 1: Shout out to m Sparks for the two dollars, super
43:42
Speaker 1: Chat shout out to Flying Crocodile for the five dollars
43:45
Speaker 1: super Chat. Really appreciate it, Carl, I wanted to to
43:49
Speaker 1: talk to you about We were talking about the depression
43:52
Speaker 1: just a second ago.
43:54
Speaker 2: Now when things.
43:56
Speaker 1: When when the oil and the refined products become even
44:00
Speaker 1: more scarce, and the United States starts trying to sanction
44:04
Speaker 1: China because China just passed the law that is that
44:07
Speaker 1: this companies just ignore any sanctions that the United States
44:12
Speaker 1: UH says that they can't trade with other nations. You know,
44:18
Speaker 1: what do you think the ramifications will be here at home?
44:22
Speaker 1: Because think about this car. China produces mostly everything UH.
44:28
Speaker 1: It's the world's largest investors, the largest trading partner to
44:34
Speaker 1: practically the entire world. We see Africa is getting starting
44:37
Speaker 1: to use the SIPs monastery system. We see Russia's UH
44:43
Speaker 1: system is now being integrated with it. We see runs
44:46
Speaker 1: payment system being integrated with it. So we see a
44:50
Speaker 1: lot of dominoes starting to fall when it comes to
44:54
Speaker 1: the dollar. Now, when when when these things become scarce
44:59
Speaker 1: and and sanctions they're the sanction war and China decides
45:03
Speaker 1: to sanction America back, the ports will be empty or
45:07
Speaker 1: the ports won't have things. That means that shipping would
45:11
Speaker 1: shut down. That means that businesses will go under. That
45:15
Speaker 1: means that banks will go under. That means higher unemployment.
45:18
Speaker 1: That means scarcer goods. That means a war then at home,
45:24
Speaker 1: because people will be fighting over the scarce things that
45:28
Speaker 1: are here. Do you think that the leaders really believe
45:36
Speaker 1: that America is so untouchable that these things will not
45:40
Speaker 1: happen to them.
45:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they are high on their own kool aid.
45:47
Speaker 2: I mean they have been high on their own propaganda
45:50
Speaker 2: for a while. You know, don't don't ever get high
45:52
Speaker 2: on your own supply. Man. This is this is a
45:54
Speaker 2: this is a bad, bad mistake. But that's what the
45:58
Speaker 2: people in washing and have been doing. They they they're
46:02
Speaker 2: they're you know.
46:04
Speaker 3: Where do they get their news phone they're getting they
46:06
Speaker 3: get their news phone from mainstream media or where do
46:10
Speaker 3: mainstream media get their news from the mainstream news media
46:13
Speaker 3: get their get their news.
46:14
Speaker 2: From, like White House Press releases. It's just like circular
46:19
Speaker 2: you know, it's like that that Internet meme where like
46:21
Speaker 2: everybody is consumed the fecies of each other in a circle.
46:26
Speaker 2: That's they're all you need each other's poop, and that's
46:31
Speaker 2: that's what That's exactly what happened. And that this and
46:35
Speaker 2: this is why they severely underestimated Iran's capability to hit back.
46:41
Speaker 2: You know, when they thought China only have three thousand
46:44
Speaker 2: missus ballistic missiles and certainly they get hit with seven
46:48
Speaker 2: thousand urround in missiles and they act surprised. Uh yeah,
46:53
Speaker 2: it's it's uh, it's it's it's a rude awakening, you know,
46:57
Speaker 2: for sure for a lot of these Americans to premises,
47:01
Speaker 2: you know who you you know, used to proudly post
47:05
Speaker 2: on Twitter like, oh, this is like the post videos
47:09
Speaker 2: of American aircraft carrier battle group and say, oh, now
47:13
Speaker 2: they're gonna find out why Americans don't have health care.
47:16
Speaker 2: You know, it seems that something to be proud of.
47:20
Speaker 2: And you guess what, the Uranians and Yemenis are still
47:23
Speaker 2: wondering why Americans don't have health care because your your
47:27
Speaker 2: aircraft carrier groups are hiding, you know, they're hiding beyond
47:32
Speaker 2: the range of Uranian drones at the moment. So yeah,
47:38
Speaker 2: I think they need a lot more u root awakening
47:43
Speaker 2: like this to kind of finally knock senses into their head.
47:48
Speaker 2: You know, Trump was moving into that direction when he
47:51
Speaker 2: signed the MU or the Memorandum of Misunderstanding. And now
47:58
Speaker 2: I think there's there is a lot, you know, but
48:02
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure there's a lot of forces within his
48:05
Speaker 2: own circle that's pressuring him to continue. Because the israel Is,
48:12
Speaker 2: they don't really, really do not want the war to end.
48:16
Speaker 2: And this is why Nata Yaku is coming again to
48:19
Speaker 2: to to Washington, because he has no interest to see
48:23
Speaker 2: a pause even a pause in this in this war,
48:26
Speaker 2: because he wants to continue to be pursue the Greater
48:30
Speaker 2: Israel project. You want to continue to pursue to push
48:33
Speaker 2: into southern Lebanon, which is one of the conditions for
48:37
Speaker 2: Iran for ending the conflict that Israel must also seize
48:41
Speaker 2: its operation in southern Lebanon. And Israel want none of that,
48:46
Speaker 2: and they want Iran to be broken up to Iran's
48:50
Speaker 2: capability to be degraded. But Israel cannot do it by itself,
48:56
Speaker 2: so In needs United States to do its dirty work
48:59
Speaker 2: for war them. And this is why you know Israel
49:03
Speaker 2: and the Israel Israeli loppy has exerted a lot of
49:07
Speaker 2: pressure on Washington to to you know, to do their bidding.
49:12
Speaker 2: And lucky for them they have Trump because for the
49:17
Speaker 2: last seventh US president are all said like that's crazy,
49:21
Speaker 2: you know, like like going to work with around just
49:25
Speaker 2: too crazy. They're gonna close down the straight or her moves.
49:27
Speaker 2: Well guess what, They closed down the straight or her moves.
49:29
Speaker 2: So here we are.
49:32
Speaker 1: I think that it's not just Israel. I think it's
49:35
Speaker 1: the United States that also needs it. I think both
49:37
Speaker 1: of them need this war because time is running out
49:40
Speaker 1: for him. You have to look at it. Israel gets
49:43
Speaker 1: the majority of his weapons from the United States. It
49:45
Speaker 1: gets a lot of his technology from the United States.
49:48
Speaker 1: The United States and Europe are the main upholders of
49:52
Speaker 1: the Israeli economy. The United States economy is taking the
49:58
Speaker 1: Israeli economy is tanking. You're economy is tanking.
50:01
Speaker 2: And.
50:03
Speaker 1: When all those fails, you go back to what has
50:06
Speaker 1: worked for you over decades and centuries. And I think
50:09
Speaker 1: that's war. So they need the debt bubble to continue
50:12
Speaker 1: to expand because once you stop, boom goes to dynamite.
50:16
Speaker 2: And if.
50:18
Speaker 1: Israel's economy implosed, that means that the settler colony has
50:22
Speaker 1: to flee the lands that they occupy. That means that America,
50:27
Speaker 1: being broken, can no longer fund occupation and can no
50:30
Speaker 1: longer fund the escapades of the American Empire and the
50:36
Speaker 1: so called idea of escapades in the Middle East. So
50:39
Speaker 1: I think both sides have become so desperate to where
50:44
Speaker 1: they need this war. They they're hoping against hope that
50:48
Speaker 1: they can break Iran because if they could break Iran,
50:51
Speaker 1: then they could live to see another day and then
50:54
Speaker 1: they can put their moniacal plans against Russia and China
50:58
Speaker 1: into play. And I want you to respond to that.
51:01
Speaker 1: And then after that, Flying Crocodile has a question for you.
51:04
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, there's definitely something to that. Like
51:08
Speaker 2: the elite at the top Washington or Tel Aviv, they're
51:12
Speaker 2: basically wedded at the hip, you know, like the Fox
51:16
Speaker 2: News is basically spewing Zionist propaganda every day. They might
51:22
Speaker 2: as well be a register foreign agent for Israel at
51:26
Speaker 2: this point. And because they are all in it together
51:30
Speaker 2: it's Epstein regime is composed of the same class of people,
51:35
Speaker 2: so they but but but again, this is uh, you know,
51:41
Speaker 2: I actually enjoy it when you know, Professor Meerscheimer, how
51:47
Speaker 2: you keep on going on and say, it's not America's
51:51
Speaker 2: interest to fight a war in your Eastern Europe proxy
51:56
Speaker 2: war with through Ukraine, with Russia. It's not to America's
52:01
Speaker 2: interest to get Meyer down in Middle East. We need
52:05
Speaker 2: to put our resource to East Asia to fight China
52:08
Speaker 2: because China is the biggest threat to the US hegemony.
52:12
Speaker 2: But nobody listened to him in Washington, as you can
52:17
Speaker 2: tell like that, like Meerscheimer, have been saying this for years,
52:21
Speaker 2: but nobody, no, nobody the decision making circles in Washington
52:26
Speaker 2: really listen to him. Uh uh. And so you have
52:29
Speaker 2: these kind of very haphazard pursuit of empire and hegemony.
52:35
Speaker 2: And it's not even down in a smart way. Uh
52:39
Speaker 2: and and and and that's that's why we we we
52:42
Speaker 2: are in the whole mess we are in today. Uh.
52:45
Speaker 2: But I'm okay with that, you know, I'm okay with
52:48
Speaker 2: the destruction of American imperial system. I mean, I think
52:51
Speaker 2: that would be good for American people as well. Right now,
52:54
Speaker 2: all the resources have been sucked out of the American
52:57
Speaker 2: society to wage perpetual war abroad. You know, nothing was
53:02
Speaker 2: being brought back home. To invest in the schools, the hospitals,
53:07
Speaker 2: the roads, the things that needs needs investing in the
53:11
Speaker 2: United States. Instead, the only that they're like, the best
53:14
Speaker 2: we can do is more data centers in your neighborhood,
53:17
Speaker 2: So you let your electricity price will go up and
53:21
Speaker 2: your groundwater will be polluted. But you know that's that's
53:25
Speaker 2: by design. That's that's that's a feature, not a bug.
53:27
Speaker 2: You know, that's how American ali gar class has always
53:31
Speaker 2: ran this country flying crocodile.
53:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to present your question just second, but carl
53:37
Speaker 1: on what you just said, I believe there was a
53:39
Speaker 1: misjudgment by the people in power to think tanks. They
53:42
Speaker 1: thought they thought that China was Japan from the nineteen eighties,
53:46
Speaker 1: you know, and I thought they thought that they could
53:49
Speaker 1: sabotage China's economy whenever they wanted to, like they did
53:53
Speaker 1: Japan and Japan's manufacturing capacity. They thought that they would
53:58
Speaker 1: be able to do that. And I think they misread
54:01
Speaker 1: the Chinese people, the Chinese plan, and I think they
54:04
Speaker 1: misread uh, what what China was was all about their
54:08
Speaker 1: policies that they were after. So I do believe that, uh,
54:13
Speaker 1: even though mission the Professor has been saying this, for
54:16
Speaker 1: they ignored him because they were hubris and arrogance will
54:20
Speaker 1: make you uh think that you can do anything, anytime,
54:23
Speaker 1: any place, anywhere.
54:24
Speaker 2: To anyone.
54:25
Speaker 1: And I think America is still riding that. Hubrit's fore
54:28
Speaker 1: flying crocodile says, question for Carl, what are his thoughts
54:32
Speaker 1: on New Zealand's position and respect to the ongoing crisis
54:35
Speaker 1: and it's repercussions for New Zealand.
54:39
Speaker 2: That's a good question because New Zealand is like the
54:41
Speaker 2: forgotten eye of the Anglo five eyes country. You know,
54:45
Speaker 2: It's like a lot of the time the attention is
54:48
Speaker 2: on US, UK, Canada, Australia and uh And and a
54:53
Speaker 2: lot of times the New Zealand is kind of even
54:56
Speaker 2: left out of the map, you know. I I don't know,
55:00
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with New zealand domestic politics, but I
55:06
Speaker 2: don't think New Zealand has much. New Zealand has try
55:10
Speaker 2: I think compared to Australia, New Zealand has tried to
55:14
Speaker 2: pursue a little bit more independent foreign policy, but overall
55:18
Speaker 2: it's still part of the Anglo five by alliance. It's
55:22
Speaker 2: still answer beholden to Washington. There's only so much room.
55:26
Speaker 2: You know, maybe in New Zealand has a longer leash
55:28
Speaker 2: than the other ones, but it's still on a leash,
55:31
Speaker 2: so I and and and just because New Zealand is
55:35
Speaker 2: such a small country, it's I'm sorry, it's not that important.
55:40
Speaker 2: I mean, like when it comes down to to influencing
55:44
Speaker 2: the world politics. So yeah, so sorry, I really can't
55:49
Speaker 2: tell you.
55:51
Speaker 1: And also remember that New Zealand and Australia they're still
55:55
Speaker 1: under the Union, Jack so and Canada, and so they
55:59
Speaker 1: still I mean Britain still has a lot of influence
56:02
Speaker 1: there also because quote unquote King Charles can sit down
56:07
Speaker 1: your parliament, he can sit down your Prime minister. He
56:10
Speaker 1: has his choice of uh what what they call it,
56:14
Speaker 1: the row the raw uh I forget what it's called,
56:18
Speaker 1: but the worle priorative where they can choose who they want,
56:22
Speaker 1: even if the people are not for So that still
56:25
Speaker 1: plays the part in New Zealand, uh being a part.
56:30
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in New Zealand don't
56:33
Speaker 1: want to play that part, but they have to because
56:37
Speaker 1: they're beholden to the two daughters of Babylon, which is
56:41
Speaker 1: American and Britain. So Dave is laughing at what you said, David,
56:47
Speaker 1: New Zealand is irrelevant.
56:49
Speaker 2: So but called before we walk the Arab.
56:53
Speaker 1: This is I put this in there the Google search
56:56
Speaker 1: engine while we were talking, and it says US using
57:00
Speaker 1: position to China and most global metrics, and this is
57:04
Speaker 1: what the AI had to stay from using Bloombergs and
57:08
Speaker 1: says the United States is losing ground to China and
57:11
Speaker 1: specific international metrics, notably global favorability, soft power, scientific research output,
57:20
Speaker 1: and commercial leverage, supply chains, and Washington retains a substantial
57:26
Speaker 1: advantage quote unquote and high tech profits. But what we're
57:32
Speaker 1: seeing is a superpower lashing out because they are no
57:35
Speaker 1: longer the only kids on the block with the big stick.
57:38
Speaker 1: They're no longer they can no longer just solely decide
57:43
Speaker 1: on policies for the globe. And I believe that because
57:46
Speaker 1: they have been drunk on this hubris, that they're willing
57:49
Speaker 1: to take the world of war and blow the world
57:53
Speaker 1: up to rule over the chaos. Because remember, Carl, Remember,
57:58
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't know this, that when
58:00
Speaker 1: the when the US and the Soviet Union almost went
58:03
Speaker 1: to nuclear war, the the policy of the United States,
58:09
Speaker 1: we find out later, was they said if nuclear war
58:11
Speaker 1: broke out between the U s s R and the US,
58:15
Speaker 1: the US would fire nukes China too, has to not
58:18
Speaker 1: leave China in the position to benefit and become a power.
58:23
Speaker 1: So a lot of people don't know that.
58:26
Speaker 2: What what is your thoughts on that? Called? I mean, yeah,
58:32
Speaker 2: these are evil people. I mean like this, this is
58:35
Speaker 2: kind of the zero sum mentality that the USC lead
58:39
Speaker 2: always possessed for for them to win, everybody else have
58:43
Speaker 2: to lose, you know, I mean when they say everybody
58:46
Speaker 2: they need everybody like but that like, like like Putent said,
58:52
Speaker 2: the US cannot fundamentally change until their elite get rid
58:56
Speaker 2: of those zero sum mind virus. Otherwise they will continue
59:03
Speaker 2: behave that they have always done until they couldn't uh,
59:07
Speaker 2: And we are coming to an age now increasingly they
59:11
Speaker 2: couldn't uh, just like Iran has showed them, because because
59:16
Speaker 2: other countries will hit back, and they will hit back hard.
59:19
Speaker 2: You know, before the war, I could never imagine, you know,
59:23
Speaker 2: someone openly hitting US basis you know, let them on fire.
59:27
Speaker 2: But now now it's a thing. It's it's this is
59:30
Speaker 2: not gonna be the last time that's happened either, you know,
59:34
Speaker 2: you Ruan has showed a way forward, this is how
59:38
Speaker 2: you deal with bully. US is acting like a school
59:41
Speaker 2: yard bully. Well, the way you deal with school yard
59:44
Speaker 2: bully is punch him on the nose and then no,
59:48
Speaker 2: there will be there will be consequences, and that that's
59:52
Speaker 2: the only way to stop.
59:54
Speaker 1: You know, carl I was you said that you can believe,
59:58
Speaker 1: you can think about it. Anybody buming us basis believe
1:00:02
Speaker 1: it or not. If you go listen to earlier shows
1:00:05
Speaker 1: of Mind, when everybody was focused on Ukraine, when everybody
1:00:08
Speaker 1: was focused on the so called build up and the
1:00:12
Speaker 1: disagreement between Russia and NATO, I was telling everybody that
1:00:16
Speaker 1: there would be a regional war in West Asia. And
1:00:20
Speaker 1: I said that it'll the US will attack Persia as Iran,
1:00:25
Speaker 1: and I said that Iran will give as good as
1:00:27
Speaker 1: it takes and it will force America out of West Asia.
1:00:31
Speaker 1: This is on a lot of my shows, and I
1:00:34
Speaker 1: know I was sounding like I was on the fringe
1:00:36
Speaker 1: of things, but people didn't understand that there was so
1:00:39
Speaker 1: many policy papers on this that the United States were
1:00:42
Speaker 1: so fixated with breaking it run because they saw Iran
1:00:46
Speaker 1: as the just like Afghanistan as the underbelly to going
1:00:50
Speaker 1: after China and going after Russia. And I kept telling
1:00:54
Speaker 1: people said that Iran is gonna hit back, and she's
1:00:56
Speaker 1: gonna hit as hard as she gets hit, and she's
1:00:59
Speaker 1: gonna give America a lot to think about. And now
1:01:02
Speaker 1: we're watching America being pushed out of West Asia. Your
1:01:06
Speaker 1: closing thoughts on will this, along with the debt crisis
1:01:12
Speaker 1: and the rising bun yields be the nil and the
1:01:16
Speaker 1: coffin for the American Empire.
1:01:19
Speaker 2: It's the only matter of time. I mean, I don't again,
1:01:22
Speaker 2: like I'm not, I'm a bad market timers. I never
1:01:26
Speaker 2: try to time the market, so I'm not I'm gonna.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna predict the exact time and date when
1:01:30
Speaker 2: the US Empire will crumble, but just but we're hitting
1:01:35
Speaker 2: that direction and there's no coming back. So that's my
1:01:39
Speaker 2: my last words. Man, Thank you again.
1:01:42
Speaker 1: Call. I'll check you out later. Man, send love to
1:01:46
Speaker 1: your family. You guys, be safe and thank you all.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining you man, thanks for hiring me. Hey, everybody,
