# Professor Jiang: World War 3 Is About To Begin, Let Me Explain!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJGr78-zyw

[00:00] In 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true, like Trump would start a war with Iran.
[00:07] And you've made a series of new predictions.
[00:09] Yes.
[00:11] And I'll explain each prediction one by one.
[00:13] Okay.
[00:13] So, first I predict that Trump will get a third term.
[00:14] But isn't this constitutionally illegal?
[00:16] It's not.
[00:18] The president now has emergency war powers and so he could actually delay the election.
[00:21] My second prediction is Iran is under a forever war and the United States will institute a national draft.
[00:25] Meaning that if you're between 18 to 24 in America and you're male, you'll be automatically put into the draft system and they just pass a law that says that starting in December, you will be automatically registered, which means you're obliged to go and fight.
[00:38] Exactly.
[00:40] Next, the world will move towards an AI civilian state.
[00:42] So everything you do online is being recorded to figure out and how to control you.
[00:47] And then this is the most controversial prediction.
[00:49] This is pretty bad and I'll explain why.
[00:52] And also I will tell you why this war can only lead to World War II.
[00:55] why there's a very strong possibility that the American Empire will collapse and also I'll show you what the Russians will do and how
[01:01] you what the Russians will do and how the private bankers are controlling it.
[01:03] the private bankers are controlling it.
[01:03] I'm not owned by anybody.
[01:04] That's what you think.
[01:04] So, let's talk about that.
[01:09] This is super interesting to me.
[01:11] My team given me this report to show me how many of you that watch this show subscribe.
[01:14] And some of you have told us according to this that you are unsubscribed from the channel randomly.

[01:44] I'll make sure every single week, every single month, we fight harder and harder and harder and harder to bring you the guests and conversations that you want to hear.
[01:51] I've stayed true to that promise since the very beginning of the D of Sio and I will not let you down.
[01:54] Please help us.
[01:57] Really appreciate it.
[01:59] Let's get on with the show.
[02:07] Professor Dian,
[02:09] Professor Dian,
[02:11] there's so much going on in the world at the moment that it's quite confusing for an ordinary person like me.
[02:13] And you've blown up across the internet because you've been able to demystify all of all of this craziness, but also because in 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true.
[02:15] Some might say unfortunately.
[02:31] Unfortunately, yes.
[02:33] What were those three predictions?
[02:34] My first prediction was that Trump would win in November 2024.
[02:36] Second prediction is that he would start a war against Iran.
[02:40] And the third prediction is that the United States would lose this war and in losing this war, this would radically reshape the geopolitical landscape.
[02:43] How did you know that Trump would start a war with Iran?
[02:46] The simple answer is this.
[02:48] The the United States having invaded Iran because it has no choice in the matter.
[02:50] If it were not to invade Iran, it would
[03:08] If it were not to invade Iran, it would lose its empire.
[03:12] Its empire is based purely on the US dollar, the petro dollar, which is a Ponzi scheme.
[03:17] If it did not invade Iran, then people would choose not to trade with it anymore.
[03:23] People would choose to not buy US treasuries.
[03:26] Why? For the longest time, this system worked fine.
[03:31] But then in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.
[03:38] Yeah.
[03:40] Okay. That was not the issue. The issue was the American response.
[03:43] The American response was to sanction Russia and remove Russia from the swift global payment system.
[03:50] It also ordered the Europeans to freeze over $200 billion in Russian assets.
[04:01] And there's a problem because the very basis for having the US dollar as the global reserve currency is that it would remain politically
[04:09] that it would remain politically neutral.
[04:11] neutral.
[04:11] It it the Americans guaranteed seamless.
[04:16] It it the Americans guaranteed seamless politically neutral.
[04:18] politically neutral international exchange.
[04:20] international exchange.
[04:20] So if this trend continues, right, if you don't do anything about Russia,
[04:26] Russia would take over Ukraine and Russia then would build an alliance with China and Iran.
[04:35] China and Iran.
[04:35] If you look at these three countries on the map, Russia, China and Iran, this is the entire Asian continent.
[04:44] continent.
[04:44] And then what they can do is this.
[04:47] They can say, okay, the United States is a bully.
[04:49] They force us to play by the rules.
[04:52] They get very angry if we don't play by the rules.
[04:54] So, let's not play with the United States anymore.
[04:57] Let's just trade amongst ourselves.
[04:59] And then what they can do is they can build a Eurasian railway system connecting Russia, Iran, and China together.
[05:07] And then what this would do is
[05:13] together. And then what this would do is negate American sea power because it's
[05:16] negate American sea power because it's American ships that patrol and protect
[05:19] American ships that patrol and protect the oceans.
[05:22] the oceans. And then what would happen is the world,
[05:25] And then what would happen is the world, Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, East
[05:29] Asia would look at the trading block and
[05:32] Asia would look at the trading block and think to themselves, "Wow, these guys,
[05:34] think to themselves, "Wow, these guys, the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese,
[05:38] the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese, they use gold
[05:41] they use gold as their medium of exchange.
[05:44] as their medium of exchange. Gold is valuable. The Americans on
[05:47] Gold is valuable. The Americans on the other hand use US dollars
[05:51] other hand use US dollars as the medium of exchange which is not
[05:53] as the medium of exchange which is not valuable. So am I better off with the
[05:56] valuable. So am I better off with the American system with this new brick
[05:59] American system with this new brick system?
[06:00] system? >> What's bricks?
[06:01] >> What's bricks? >> It's an acronym. It stands for Brazil,
[06:04] >> It's an acronym. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India,
[06:06] uh South Africa, China. So am I right in
[06:09] uh South Africa, China. So am I right in thinking because Iran, Russia and China
[06:11] thinking because Iran, Russia and China were colluding, it threatened US
[06:14] were colluding, it threatened US dominance which is driven by the world.
[06:16] dominance which is driven by the world using the dollar as the primary currency.
[06:20] using the dollar as the primary currency for trading.
[06:21] for trading.
[06:22] That's correct. Okay.
[06:22] Okay. So they felt they needed to invade.
[06:23] Okay. So they felt they needed to invade because then they can control more of the Middle East.
[06:26] the Middle East.
[06:26] Right. So by attacking Iran, certain things happen.
[06:29] Right. So by attacking Iran, certain things happen. Okay. The first thing that happened is that China is now cut off from Middle East energy.
[06:40] off from Middle East energy.
[06:40] China receives anywhere between 50 to 60% of its energy needs from the Middle East.
[06:47] East. Not just Iran, but also Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
[06:51] Saudi Arabia.
[06:51] A lot of people say that China today it's reliant on renewables, solar, wind, and that's true to a certain extent.
[06:59] and that's true to a certain extent. But remember that China it is an industrial powerhouse.
[07:01] remember that China it is an industrial powerhouse. So it needs energy from everywhere and everyone.
[07:08] everywhere and everyone. So the fact that China is losing all this energy from the Middle East presents China with a long-term strategic vulnerability.
[07:17] a long-term strategic vulnerability.
[07:17] That's the first thing that happens.
[07:19] That's the first thing that happens.
[07:19] Second thing that happens is that Europe is in a lot of trouble because remember because of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian energy was sanctioned and so Europe relied more on middle on the Middle East for its energy needs especially Qatar and now Europe has lost all of this oil.
[07:41] and now Europe has lost all of this oil.
[07:41] So you and then you have Japan and South Korea.
[07:46] These two powerful East Asian economies are also reliant on the Middle East for its uh energy.
[07:52] So another question is if you're not getting your energy from the Middle East, where can you get your energy from?
[07:58] And there's only two answers, either Russia or the United States.
[08:04] Russia is at war.
[08:04] And what's happening is the Ukrainian drones are attacking Russian oil refineries and export hubs.
[08:12] So the world in the short term have has
[08:17] So the world in the short term have has no choice but to look to America for its energy needs.
[08:24] And what did Trump do recently?
[08:25] He took over he took over Venezuela which has the world's greatest oil reserves.
[08:31] He's threatening Canada.
[08:33] is threatening Greenland, Mexico, Colombia.
[08:37] If Trump controls the entire Western Hemisphere, the entire world has to beg Trump for energy and resources and it saves both the US dollar as well as the American empire.
[08:53] So, as part of your prediction in in 2024, I believe it was, you said that the US would lose this war, right?
[09:03] Why did you predict that the US will lose this war with Iran?
[09:08] Because the the American society does not does not have the political will, does not have the manu manufacturing capacity, does not have the risk tolerance to fight this war in Iran.
[09:17] Basically,
[09:21] fight this war in Iran.
[09:23] Basically, America wants to fight this war as America wants to fight this war as cheaply, as easily, and as quickly as possible.
[09:30] Right? So Trump it Trump really thought that you know if I sent my airplanes to strike Tran and kill the Aatollah they would just surrender.
[09:38] That was like literally his plan going into this war.
[09:45] He paid no attention to the culture.
[09:47] He paid no attention to the history of the Iranian people.
[09:49] He had absolutely no respect for for the nation.
[09:54] And when you do that, when you disrespect your opponent, when you underestimate your opponent, when you yourself are not willing to commit to the fight, you're going to lose.
[10:02] So, is Iran's game just to draw this out as long as they possibly can?
[10:08] H how are they, you know, cuz he's taken out the leaders?
[10:11] And do you also think that Trump thought that just if I just bomb the leader, then everything will sort of regenerate itself and we'll be fine.
[10:19] What was the sort of fundamental misunderstanding?
[10:21] Misunderstanding? There's a lot of confusion as to how this war started.
[10:24] Confusion as to how this war started.
[10:26] Even today, no one actually knows how this war started.
[10:29] But I think that Trump, given his personality, he was convinced that if he killed the leadership of Iran, then they would have no choice but to surrender.
[10:36] Killed the leadership of Iran, then they would have no choice but to surrender.
[10:43] And his proof of concept was of course on January 3rd of this year, Delta Force went into Venezuela, kidnapped Maduro and they completely surrendered.
[10:49] Went into Venezuela, kidnapped Maduro and they completely surrendered.
[10:55] So in Trump's mind, he wanted to replay this the Venezuela scenario.
[11:01] And he didn't realize that Iran is fundamentally different from Venezuela.
[11:06] The short answer is he is a reality TV star.
[11:10] He thinks in terms of optics.
[11:12] He doesn't think think in terms of like geopolitical strategy.
[11:16] The long answer is that the American military has become very corrupt and insular institution.
[11:23] very corrupt and insular institution that is trying to generate as much congressional funding as possible in order to fund the military-industrial complex.
[11:31] complex.
[11:31] Did he think that he was going to bomb Iran, the people would rise up, they would elect a new government and that would be that and then he could control Iran?
[11:43] That's exactly what he thought.
[11:43] So, what I want to do now is go to the map.
[11:47] Okay.
[11:47] All right. And show you what he got wrong.
[11:49] Okay.
[11:49] All right. So, this is a map of the Middle East.
[11:57] And the first thing to notice about this map is the topography.
[12:02] What does that mean?
[12:02] How many mountains you have?
[12:05] So this is what's really interesting is that the topography between Iraq and Iran are completely different.
[12:17] And this is important because two in 2003 the Americans invaded Iraq and they won the war in about two weeks.
[12:25] The war in about two weeks.
[12:27] And the reason why they won the war is the reason why they won the war is the Americans practiced something called shock and all.
[12:29] Americans practiced something called shock and all.
[12:33] The idea of shock and all is that it is a military strategy that believes that if you cut off the head of the snake, the snake will die.
[12:38] The idea of shock and all is that it is a military strategy that believes that if you cut off the head of the snake, the snake will die.
[12:42] if you cut off the head of the snake, the snake will die.
[12:44] the snake will die. The decapation strike.
[12:46] The decapation strike. And so what they did was they went into Baghdad, seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed and the war was over.
[12:51] And so what they did was they went into Baghdad, seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed and the war was over.
[12:53] went into Baghdad, seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed and the war was over.
[12:57] seized Baghdad and the regime collapsed and the war was over.
[13:03] regime collapsed and the war was over. And they were able to do this because of the topography.
[13:06] And they were able to do this because of the topography.
[13:08] the topography. If you look at the map of Iraq, it's all flat.
[13:13] of Iraq, it's all flat. It's all desert. Meaning that you can just fly in your planes, cut off the head of a snake, and the war is over.
[13:16] Meaning that you can just fly in your planes, cut off the head of a snake, and the war is over.
[13:19] planes, cut off the head of a snake, and the war is over.
[13:21] cut off the head of a snake, and the war is over. There's absolutely no way you can defend against air strikes because
[13:24] is over. There's absolutely no way you can defend against air strikes because
[13:28] can defend against air strikes because you're entirely a desert.
[13:32] you're entirely a desert. Now let's go to let's look at topography
[13:35] Now let's go to let's look at topography of I of Iran and Iran. It's all
[13:40] of I of Iran and Iran. It's all mountainous. In fact, you can make the
[13:43] mountainous. In fact, you can make the argument that Iran is a fortress.
[13:47] argument that Iran is a fortress. Okay.
[13:50] Okay.
[13:52] And so
[13:55] the first thing is that Iran can choose to fight a war of attrition.
[13:59] What's a war of attrition?
[14:02] A war of attrition is a game of uncle.
[14:05] What's that?
[14:06] Right. A game of uncle is where uh we don't have enough power to destroy each
[14:11] other. So what we try to do is we try to create pain points, leverage points
[14:18] to force you to submit to cry uncle, right?
[14:22] So because Iran is too large and that's 92 million people, it's
[14:29] and that's 92 million people, it's impossible for the Americans and impossible for the Americans and Israelis to destroy Iran.
[14:34] So what Israelis to destroy Iran.
[14:37] So what they're trying to do instead is they're trying to do instead is bomb enough targets so that they bomb enough targets so that they recognize that resistance resistance is recognize that resistance resistance is futile and surrender.
[14:45] Okay, that's the futile and surrender.
[14:47] Okay, that's the extent of the strategy. But again, the problem with this is that one, Iran is much too big.
[14:55] Number two is that it is a much too big.
[14:58] Number two is that it is a mountain fortress, which means that you can hide your weapons and your military can hide your weapons and your military inside mountains, right?
[15:05] Which allows you to conduct a guerilla warfare strategy against your opponent.
[15:11] And this is exactly what Iran is doing right now is exactly what Iran is doing right now where their underground missile bases where their underground missile bases are hidden inside the mountains and then are hidden inside the mountains and then they're able to strike targets they're able to strike targets throughout the Middle East primarily throughout the Middle East primarily American bases but also energy American bases but also energy installations that are key to the
[15:30] installations that are key to the American petro dollar system.
[15:32] And so it's a game of uncle where the Americans are trying to create as much damage as possible in the Iranian nation and Iran in response is trying to destroy as much of of the global economy as possible to force the world to pressure America to call the war off.
[15:51] So that's a situation we are facing right now.
[15:54] Second thing that Trump got got wrong is how vulnerable the global economy is.
[16:02] Because the Iranians control something called a shum moose.
[16:07] Okay. And as you can see on this map, it's a very very narrow piece of land.
[16:14] It's only about 33 kilometers across.
[16:19] You can actually swim across the straight of Humus.
[16:22] Okay. And why this is important is the GCC exports 20% of the world's energy.
[16:28] The G the G what?
[16:31] of the world's energy.
[16:31] The G the G what?
[16:31] The Gulf cooperative council.
[16:34] Okay.
[16:34] So the Gulf cooperative council.
[16:34] Okay.
[16:34] So the Gulf cooperative council are certain nations in the mil middle east that align politically.
[16:39] So they include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, uh the UAE, Oman, Iran, Kuwait.
[16:48] They they've been exporting energy but not just energy but also a lot of byproducts of of energy production including fertilizer to the world primarily East Asia and India.
[17:02] In return they've been getting um food back.
[17:08] So most people don't don't appreciate this but the GCC actually imports 80 to 90% of its food needs.
[17:13] And the reason why is that they become so rich these past few decades that the populations have um blown up and as a result they have to feed their population but they don't have
[17:32] population but they don't have agricultural resources.
[17:34] They also don't have water resources and so they have two major vulnerabilities which is food and water and they have a lot of desalination plants around the area and so it's a desalination plant.
[17:47] Okay. So a desalination plant takes salt water from the seas and then through an electrochemical process turns it into portable water that people can use uh for drinking purposes and for agricultural purposes.
[18:04] Okay. Right. So as you can see the entire area it is extremely vulnerable to drone and missile attacks from Iran.
[18:15] So that's the second thing that Iran has done which Trump did not expect.
[18:19] He did not expect that the Iranians would close off the strait of Hammoose.
[18:21] And how the Iranians were able to close of the shoo was just by threatening to attack any ships that wanted to cross it.
[18:34] ships that wanted to cross it.
[18:37] The reason why is that these ships depend on maritime insurance in order to operate.
[18:40] But if there's a risk, a very high risk of being destroyed, then um you will not need to get insurance.
[18:47] Okay.
[18:48] So, it's not that the Iranians have said to these ships you can't cross.
[18:51] It's just that the insurers refuse to allow these ships to cross because it's too dangerous.
[18:58] And Trump didn't you think they'd consider this before they started bombing Iran that Iran would have some leverage in shutting down such a critical piece of uh water for you know shipping fertilizer energy etc.
[19:11] You think that they would have known this right?
[19:13] So, that's what a lot of people say, that Trump's stupid, that Trump is hotheaded, that he was misled by the Israelis.
[19:23] And there's good evidence to support this, but I want to show you something, okay?
[19:28] It's it's called the National Defense Strategy.
[19:31] All right?
[19:33] And so, this is a document that was
[19:36] And so, this is a document that was published by the Department of War.
[19:39] And published by the Department of War.
[19:43] And in it, it explains what the American strategy to maintain global dominance is.
[19:50] And in the introduction, what it says is that for too long, America has been bullied by the world world.
[19:58] America is a nation that protects the world.
[20:03] Yet Europe, East Asia takes advantage of American generosity.
[20:10] The Europeans don't pay for their defense and so they put all this money into welfare into their pension system.
[20:19] The Chinese have been giving America a bad trade deal.
[20:24] The Chinese steal American technology and then use it to make products that they sell back to the Americans.
[20:32] So the Americans have been have been getting a really bad deal for decades.
[20:36] And President Donald Trump,
[20:38] decades. And President Donald Trump, he's going to change that by doing four
[20:41] he's going to change that by doing four things, right? The National Defense
[20:43] things, right? The National Defense Strategy calls for a fourpoint program
[20:48] Strategy calls for a fourpoint program to put America first. The first thing
[20:51] to put America first. The first thing that
[20:53] that um America is going to do is going to
[20:55] um America is going to do is going to secure the Western Hemisphere. Why?
[20:59] secure the Western Hemisphere. Why? Because the Western Hemisphere belongs
[21:02] Because the Western Hemisphere belongs to the United States.
[21:03] to the United States. >> When you say the Western Hemisphere,
[21:05] >> When you say the Western Hemisphere, what do you mean? What what region is
[21:06] what do you mean? What what region is that? Is that Canada as well? And
[21:08] that? Is that Canada as well? And >> so if you look at the map, we can divide
[21:10] >> so if you look at the map, we can divide we can divide the map into the eastern
[21:13] we can divide the map into the eastern hemisphere.
[21:14] hemisphere. >> Okay. And the western hemisphere.
[21:15] >> Okay. And the western hemisphere. >> Okay. So everything over here,
[21:17] >> Okay. So everything over here, >> everything including Greenland,
[21:20] >> everything including Greenland, including Canada, including Mexico,
[21:22] including Canada, including Mexico, every part of this area belongs to
[21:26] every part of this area belongs to United States. Therefore, you cannot
[21:29] United States. Therefore, you cannot trade with any of these countries
[21:32] trade with any of these countries without American permission, without
[21:35] without American permission, without paying a tribute to the Americans. And
[21:38] paying a tribute to the Americans. And that this is why that the Americans have
[21:42] that this is why that the Americans have parked onethird of their naval assets in
[21:45] parked onethird of their naval assets in the Caribbean today.
[21:48] the Caribbean today. It's to it's to tell the Chinese and the
[21:50] It's to it's to tell the Chinese and the Russians, back off. If you want to come
[21:53] Russians, back off. If you want to come here, you either pay a tribute or you'll
[21:57] here, you either pay a tribute or you'll be attacked.
[21:59] be attacked. Okay, that's the first point of the
[22:02] Okay, that's the first point of the strategy. The Western Hemisphere belongs
[22:05] strategy. The Western Hemisphere belongs to America. Something that they call the
[22:07] to America. Something that they call the Donro doctrine. Okay, which is Trump's
[22:10] Donro doctrine. Okay, which is Trump's corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. And so
[22:13] corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. And so that's point one.
[22:15] that's point one. Point two is that America wants to
[22:19] Point two is that America wants to re-imagine its relationship with its
[22:22] re-imagine its relationship with its allies.
[22:23] allies. Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own
[22:28] Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own defense. NATO needs to go fight Russia
[22:32] defense. NATO needs to go fight Russia in Ukraine. America will provide
[22:34] in Ukraine. America will provide support. It'll provide weapons and
[22:36] support. It'll provide weapons and financing,
[22:38] financing, but NATO needs to do more work. And in
[22:42] but NATO needs to do more work. And in East Asia, South Korea and Japan need to
[22:46] East Asia, South Korea and Japan need to do better job of keeping China in check.
[22:51] do better job of keeping China in check. Okay, that's point two. Point three is
[22:54] Okay, that's point two. Point three is specific to China. And the idea is the
[22:58] specific to China. And the idea is the United States does not want to destroy
[23:00] United States does not want to destroy China. The United States does not want
[23:02] China. The United States does not want to humiliate China, but China needs to
[23:05] to humiliate China, but China needs to be put in its place. China needs to
[23:08] be put in its place. China needs to respect the power and the reach of the
[23:12] respect the power and the reach of the United States. And how the United States
[23:15] United States. And how the United States is going to do this is by strangling
[23:19] is going to do this is by strangling China economically. Right? So you look
[23:22] China economically. Right? So you look at at a map of China,
[23:25] at at a map of China, most of its trade goes to something
[23:28] most of its trade goes to something called the sh of Malaa. And the sh of
[23:30] called the sh of Malaa. And the sh of Malaca is the most important maritime
[23:32] Malaca is the most important maritime choke point in the world. All America
[23:35] choke point in the world. All America has to do is park naval carriers inside
[23:39] has to do is park naval carriers inside the Jamaala and China will lose 90% of
[23:43] the Jamaala and China will lose 90% of its energy exports. But if they parked
[23:45] its energy exports. But if they parked them there, China would still go
[23:47] them there, China would still go through. No.
[23:48] through. No. >> No. Because you have to go for the
[23:49] >> No. Because you have to go for the straight Maka. So America has something
[23:52] straight Maka. So America has something called the first island chain. Okay. The
[23:54] called the first island chain. Okay. The first island chain prevents China from
[23:57] first island chain prevents China from reaching the Pacific Ocean. The first
[23:59] reaching the Pacific Ocean. The first island chain includes South Korea,
[24:01] island chain includes South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and
[24:04] Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. That blocks China from
[24:06] Malaysia. That blocks China from reaching out into into the Pacific.
[24:09] reaching out into into the Pacific. >> So in order for it to access trade, it
[24:12] >> So in order for it to access trade, it has to go through the SH of Malaca. And
[24:14] has to go through the SH of Malaca. And for the Malaka, it can access uh India,
[24:17] for the Malaka, it can access uh India, Africa, and the uh Middle East.
[24:21] Africa, and the uh Middle East. >> Okay.
[24:22] >> Okay. >> Right. And so by positioning naval
[24:25] >> Right. And so by positioning naval carriers
[24:27] carriers inside the Shalaka, it creates a
[24:30] inside the Shalaka, it creates a blockade and China would have to pay a
[24:33] blockade and China would have to pay a toll in order to access um the Shalaka.
[24:37] toll in order to access um the Shalaka. >> And the fourth one
[24:38] >> And the fourth one >> and the fourth one is to
[24:42] >> and the fourth one is to um rejuvenate reinvigorate
[24:46] um rejuvenate reinvigorate America's defense manufacturing sector.
[24:49] America's defense manufacturing sector. >> So supercharge the US defense industrial
[24:51] >> So supercharge the US defense industrial base. That's exactly correct. Yes. All
[24:53] base. That's exactly correct. Yes. All right. So, what this means is that the
[24:56] right. So, what this means is that the Pentagon a few weeks ago went to Detroit
[24:59] Pentagon a few weeks ago went to Detroit and talked to Ford and General Motors
[25:01] and talked to Ford and General Motors and said, "You know what? Because of
[25:03] and said, "You know what? Because of this war in Iran, we might need you to
[25:05] this war in Iran, we might need you to stop making cars and start making more
[25:08] stop making cars and start making more munitions."
[25:10] munitions." >> How do you know they said that?
[25:11] >> How do you know they said that? >> It's
[25:12] >> It's >> They published it.
[25:12] >> They published it. >> They published it. Yes.
[25:13] >> They published it. Yes. >> Really?
[25:14] >> Really? >> Yes.
[25:14] >> Yes. >> So, the United States went to Forbes and
[25:16] >> So, the United States went to Forbes and GM and said, "We might need you to start
[25:18] GM and said, "We might need you to start making weapons with your factories."
[25:19] making weapons with your factories." >> Yes. And they're happy doing this
[25:21] >> Yes. And they're happy doing this because the profit margins are much
[25:22] because the profit margins are much greater for weapons than for for cars.
[25:25] greater for weapons than for for cars. This is a Pentagon. So you can charge as
[25:26] This is a Pentagon. So you can charge as you can charge them as much as you want
[25:28] you can charge them as much as you want and they'll pay for it. Whereas you make
[25:30] and they'll pay for it. Whereas you make cars, it's for the consumer market and
[25:32] cars, it's for the consumer market and they may not buy your cars.
[25:34] they may not buy your cars. >> Mhm.
[25:34] >> Mhm. >> Right. So So you're like Ford or General
[25:36] >> Right. So So you're like Ford or General Motors, the best deal in the world is to
[25:40] Motors, the best deal in the world is to go make weapons for the Pentagon to
[25:43] go make weapons for the Pentagon to fight these wars in the Middle East that
[25:45] fight these wars in the Middle East that can go on for forever. So, so, so we
[25:47] can go on for forever. So, so, so we have the situation where, okay, look, if
[25:50] have the situation where, okay, look, if you read the news, if you talk to a lot
[25:52] you read the news, if you talk to a lot of people, Trump's an idiot, and this
[25:54] of people, Trump's an idiot, and this war in Iran makes no sense at all. But
[25:59] war in Iran makes no sense at all. But then, if you just read the National
[26:00] then, if you just read the National Defense Strategy that is on the
[26:03] Defense Strategy that is on the Department of War website, and anyone
[26:05] Department of War website, and anyone can go there and download it for free
[26:06] can go there and download it for free and read it themselves, it's a very
[26:08] and read it themselves, it's a very clear road map of what America needs to
[26:11] clear road map of what America needs to do in order to maintain imperial
[26:14] do in order to maintain imperial hijgemony. And so let let's let let's
[26:16] hijgemony. And so let let's let let's just summarize the major points. The
[26:18] just summarize the major points. The first major point is to maintain control
[26:22] first major point is to maintain control over the western hemisphere and create a
[26:24] over the western hemisphere and create a fortress America.
[26:26] fortress America. >> Which is why he invaded Venezuela and he
[26:28] >> Which is why he invaded Venezuela and he says he's going to invade Cuba.
[26:30] says he's going to invade Cuba. >> Exactly.
[26:30] >> Exactly. >> And also Greenland.
[26:32] >> And also Greenland. >> Look at all the countries that he's
[26:33] >> Look at all the countries that he's named over the past year. Greenland,
[26:36] named over the past year. Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba,
[26:40] Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras. It's all
[26:45] Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras. It's all the Western Hemisphere, right? And
[26:47] the Western Hemisphere, right? And they're all together. Second point is to
[26:50] they're all together. Second point is to create divide and rule all around the
[26:52] create divide and rule all around the world. So imagine a situation where in
[26:55] world. So imagine a situation where in Europe, NATO fights Russia in Ukraine.
[27:00] Europe, NATO fights Russia in Ukraine. In East Asia, China fights South Korea
[27:03] In East Asia, China fights South Korea and Japan. In the Middle East, Iran
[27:07] and Japan. In the Middle East, Iran fights the GCC allied with Israel. What
[27:11] fights the GCC allied with Israel. What does America do? America can now sell
[27:13] does America do? America can now sell sell sell everyone weapons and resources
[27:16] sell sell everyone weapons and resources and finance it. This would be back to
[27:20] and finance it. This would be back to World War II.
[27:21] World War II. >> But it makes them weaker as well
[27:22] >> But it makes them weaker as well generally.
[27:23] generally. >> That's the point.
[27:24] >> That's the point. >> Yeah.
[27:24] >> Yeah. >> Right. And then what would happen is
[27:27] >> Right. And then what would happen is that $40 trillion that America has in
[27:30] that $40 trillion that America has in debt, it would disappear because it
[27:32] debt, it would disappear because it would be absorbed by the world. Right.
[27:34] would be absorbed by the world. Right. So you can say look Trump's an idiot.
[27:38] So you can say look Trump's an idiot. But if you actually look at a map and
[27:40] But if you actually look at a map and how America wants this map, this world
[27:43] how America wants this map, this world map to play out, it makes perfect sense.
[27:46] map to play out, it makes perfect sense. >> H So the war is going well for Trump.
[27:51] >> H So the war is going well for Trump. >> The war is going very well for Trump.
[27:53] >> The war is going very well for Trump. >> Really?
[27:53] >> Really? >> Yes.
[27:54] >> Yes. >> But you said in your prediction that he
[27:56] >> But you said in your prediction that he would lose the war,
[27:57] would lose the war, >> right?
[27:58] >> right? >> What's your definition of lose the war?
[28:00] >> What's your definition of lose the war? >> Losing the war means that America would
[28:03] >> Losing the war means that America would send ground troops. Iran would survive
[28:06] send ground troops. Iran would survive this invasion
[28:08] this invasion and this would be so politically
[28:12] and this would be so politically damaging that chaos breaks out the
[28:15] damaging that chaos breaks out the United States and the US guard invasion
[28:19] United States and the US guard invasion is forced to retreat and the United
[28:21] is forced to retreat and the United States is forced to retreat from the
[28:24] States is forced to retreat from the Middle East.
[28:24] Middle East. >> And you still think that's going to
[28:25] >> And you still think that's going to happen?
[28:26] happen? >> I still think that's going to happen.
[28:27] >> I still think that's going to happen. >> So you think the United States are going
[28:28] >> So you think the United States are going to put ground troops in, Iran are going
[28:30] to put ground troops in, Iran are going to resist and then chaos is going to
[28:31] to resist and then chaos is going to break out in the United States?
[28:33] break out in the United States? >> Yes. Okay. So, let me explain to you why
[28:36] >> Yes. Okay. So, let me explain to you why ground troops has to be sent. Okay.
[28:37] ground troops has to be sent. Okay. >> All right. Okay. So, in phase one of
[28:42] >> All right. Okay. So, in phase one of this war which started February 28th
[28:44] this war which started February 28th which lasted for about 6 weeks, the
[28:46] which lasted for about 6 weeks, the intention was to decapitate the regime.
[28:50] intention was to decapitate the regime. And you do that by striking Tran and you
[28:53] And you do that by striking Tran and you do that by striking the military bases
[28:55] do that by striking the military bases in installations throughout Iran. It's
[28:58] in installations throughout Iran. It's it's what the Americans call sharp and
[29:00] it's what the Americans call sharp and all. And the point is to force the
[29:04] all. And the point is to force the Iranians to call uncle. But that's not
[29:06] Iranians to call uncle. But that's not what happened.
[29:07] what happened. >> To give up
[29:08] >> To give up >> to give up basically because what the
[29:10] >> to give up basically because what the Iranians did was they responded by
[29:13] Iranians did was they responded by attacking US bases throughout the GCC.
[29:18] attacking US bases throughout the GCC. They closed off a straight of
[29:23] They closed off a straight of Humus
[29:24] Humus and they rallied their people. Okay. So
[29:28] and they rallied their people. Okay. So rather than surrender, the Iranians
[29:31] rather than surrender, the Iranians basically double down. Okay, that's
[29:33] basically double down. Okay, that's phase two of the war. Now we've gone to
[29:36] phase two of the war. Now we've gone to phase three of the war where Trump has
[29:39] phase three of the war where Trump has basically decided that decapation does
[29:41] basically decided that decapation does not work. And so what Trump's going to
[29:45] not work. And so what Trump's going to do is he's going to impose a naval
[29:48] do is he's going to impose a naval blockade
[29:50] blockade on Iran's naval blockade. Right? And so
[29:54] on Iran's naval blockade. Right? And so the question then is if Trump
[29:57] the question then is if Trump understands that decapitation does not
[29:59] understands that decapitation does not work then using game theory.
[30:02] work then using game theory. >> What's game theory?
[30:03] >> What's game theory? >> Game theory is the belief that
[30:08] >> Game theory is the belief that all the world is governed by rules and
[30:11] all the world is governed by rules and incentives. And once you understand the
[30:13] incentives. And once you understand the rules and incentives, you can predict
[30:17] rules and incentives, you can predict how people behave because people will
[30:19] how people behave because people will always behave according to their best
[30:22] always behave according to their best interest. So in geopolitics,
[30:26] interest. So in geopolitics, the nation states are individual players
[30:30] the nation states are individual players and each nation state is trying to use
[30:33] and each nation state is trying to use its resources
[30:35] its resources and um its advantages in order to
[30:39] and um its advantages in order to pressure other nation states to obey it.
[30:42] pressure other nation states to obey it. Okay, so Trump recognizes that the
[30:46] Okay, so Trump recognizes that the Iranians have closed off the circle of
[30:48] Iranians have closed off the circle of moves, but not only that, but the
[30:50] moves, but not only that, but the Iranians have also used the circle of
[30:52] Iranians have also used the circle of moves to finance the war, meaning that
[30:55] moves to finance the war, meaning that now they're forcing ships to pay a toll
[30:58] now they're forcing ships to pay a toll of $2 million in order to cross it. And
[31:02] of $2 million in order to cross it. And so this is a huge advantage for the
[31:03] so this is a huge advantage for the Iranians. And so Trump has said, "No,
[31:06] Iranians. And so Trump has said, "No, I'm going to blockade your blockade,
[31:09] I'm going to blockade your blockade, negating Iran's advantage over the
[31:12] negating Iran's advantage over the certical moves." So we think about it
[31:14] certical moves." So we think about it again using game theory. I want to
[31:16] again using game theory. I want to discuss what the Americans will do in
[31:18] discuss what the Americans will do in order to force uh the Iranians to
[31:21] order to force uh the Iranians to capitulate.
[31:23] capitulate. Okay. So I would say there's a three
[31:26] Okay. So I would say there's a three point strategy. The first strategy is
[31:30] point strategy. The first strategy is economic strangulation. you basically
[31:33] economic strangulation. you basically destroy the state's capacity to finance
[31:35] destroy the state's capacity to finance the war. And there are two ways that
[31:37] the war. And there are two ways that Iran is financing the war so far. The
[31:40] Iran is financing the war so far. The first is using oil exports, right? 90%
[31:44] first is using oil exports, right? 90% of Iran's oil goes to China
[31:49] of Iran's oil goes to China and um this is Car Island. Okay, this
[31:52] and um this is Car Island. Okay, this this little spot here is Car Island. And
[31:54] this little spot here is Car Island. And this is where Iran will export 90% of
[31:58] this is where Iran will export 90% of its oil overseas. That's the first
[32:01] its oil overseas. That's the first mechanism. Second mechanis mechanism is
[32:03] mechanism. Second mechanis mechanism is sit who moves where the RA now can
[32:06] sit who moves where the RA now can collect tolls
[32:08] collect tolls right. So what you have to do is you
[32:10] right. So what you have to do is you have to eliminate both of these finance
[32:13] have to eliminate both of these finance mechanisms. You can close off both with
[32:17] mechanisms. You can close off both with a name of locket. Okay. So that's
[32:19] a name of locket. Okay. So that's strategy one. strategy two is you need
[32:26] strategy one. strategy two is you need to create as much chaos within Iran as
[32:31] to create as much chaos within Iran as possible. You want to turn this fortress
[32:34] possible. You want to turn this fortress into a prison. And the way you do that
[32:36] into a prison. And the way you do that is by stirring up ethnic tensions in the
[32:40] is by stirring up ethnic tensions in the country. So if you look at a map, ethnic
[32:44] country. So if you look at a map, ethnic map of Iran, what you'll discover is
[32:48] map of Iran, what you'll discover is that the Persian people are primarily in
[32:51] that the Persian people are primarily in this area in the middle of the country.
[32:54] this area in the middle of the country. But if you go to the borderlands, okay,
[32:58] But if you go to the borderlands, okay, the border areas, it's primarily ethnic
[33:00] the border areas, it's primarily ethnic minorities. And there are two ethnic
[33:02] minorities. And there are two ethnic minorities
[33:04] minorities in the country that have always been
[33:06] in the country that have always been problematic for the government. The
[33:09] problematic for the government. The first problematic people are of color
[33:12] first problematic people are of color bullocks here
[33:15] bullocks here uh in south east uh Iran by the
[33:21] uh in south east uh Iran by the Pakistani border. They have a history of
[33:23] Pakistani border. They have a history of insurgency against the government. Okay.
[33:27] insurgency against the government. Okay. Second people that have been problematic
[33:29] Second people that have been problematic are the Kurds who are primarily in the
[33:34] are the Kurds who are primarily in the uh northwest of the country.
[33:38] uh northwest of the country. So if you are the US government, if you
[33:41] So if you are the US government, if you are the military, your strategy is to
[33:44] are the military, your strategy is to establish foreign operating bases in
[33:49] establish foreign operating bases in these areas. A foreign operating base is
[33:53] these areas. A foreign operating base is uh a spearhead of the military where you
[33:56] uh a spearhead of the military where you insert ground troops to hold an area.
[34:00] insert ground troops to hold an area. >> Okay. So
[34:00] >> Okay. So >> in order to resupply in in order to push
[34:03] >> in order to resupply in in order to push further into the territory.
[34:05] further into the territory. >> Okay. So a forward operating base would
[34:07] >> Okay. So a forward operating base would be the US putting troops into the the
[34:11] be the US putting troops into the the northwest and the southeast and then
[34:15] northwest and the southeast and then using that as a way to move forward into
[34:17] using that as a way to move forward into Iran.
[34:18] Iran. >> No, you don't want to move forward into
[34:20] >> No, you don't want to move forward into Iran because it's too large. You don't
[34:22] Iran because it's too large. You don't have enough forces to move into Iran.
[34:26] have enough forces to move into Iran. What you want to do is this. You want to
[34:27] What you want to do is this. You want to establish port operating bases in these
[34:29] establish port operating bases in these areas in order to arm and train
[34:35] areas in order to arm and train ethnic insurgents.
[34:36] ethnic insurgents. >> Okay,
[34:36] >> Okay, >> that you can also finance as well. And
[34:41] >> that you can also finance as well. And you do this because you want to turn
[34:42] you do this because you want to turn them into cannon fodder. You for you
[34:45] them into cannon fodder. You for you have to force a response from the
[34:46] have to force a response from the Iranian military, right? So if they come
[34:49] Iranian military, right? So if they come in with the army in order to quell these
[34:54] in with the army in order to quell these rebellions, that's great because now you
[34:56] rebellions, that's great because now you can use your air power to decimate the
[34:59] can use your air power to decimate the Iranian military. Your problem right now
[35:01] Iranian military. Your problem right now is Iranian military is hiding inside
[35:04] is Iranian military is hiding inside mountains.
[35:06] mountains. And so you want to force them out in the
[35:07] And so you want to force them out in the open. And so you want to create as many
[35:10] open. And so you want to create as many points of tension in the country as
[35:12] points of tension in the country as possible to force the Iranian military
[35:14] possible to force the Iranian military to respond.
[35:16] to respond. Right? Does that make sense? Okay. And
[35:20] Right? Does that make sense? Okay. And now your third strategy is to strangle
[35:24] now your third strategy is to strangle the capital Tran because that's the
[35:27] the capital Tran because that's the that's where the political elite are a
[35:30] that's where the political elite are a city of 10 million people. And the way
[35:32] city of 10 million people. And the way you strangle Tran is you deny them three
[35:36] you strangle Tran is you deny them three things. You deny them water,
[35:39] things. You deny them water, electricity, and food.
[35:43] electricity, and food. So you attack power plants. you attack
[35:46] So you attack power plants. you attack reservoirs, you attack railways that
[35:49] reservoirs, you attack railways that bring um food into the capital. And when
[35:54] bring um food into the capital. And when you do that, these n these 10 million
[35:56] you do that, these n these 10 million people in Iran
[35:59] people in Iran will now oppose the government and
[36:01] will now oppose the government and demand a political settlement because
[36:03] demand a political settlement because they need food, uh water, electricity to
[36:06] they need food, uh water, electricity to survive, right?
[36:08] survive, right? >> Is there a government?
[36:10] >> Is there a government? Right now, there's a debate as to the
[36:14] Right now, there's a debate as to the true extent of leadership in Iran.
[36:17] true extent of leadership in Iran. >> Because Trump's recent interviews, he's
[36:19] >> Because Trump's recent interviews, he's saying he's he's claiming that the the
[36:22] saying he's he's claiming that the the leadership in Iran are fighting
[36:23] leadership in Iran are fighting themselves, but then he's also saying in
[36:24] themselves, but then he's also saying in other interviews that there's they don't
[36:27] other interviews that there's they don't even know who they're dealing with.
[36:28] even know who they're dealing with. >> Exactly. Iran has a very unusual
[36:32] >> Exactly. Iran has a very unusual political system in that um it's a
[36:35] political system in that um it's a theocracy. It's a religious government.
[36:36] theocracy. It's a religious government. It's run by clerics call them moolas. in
[36:39] It's run by clerics call them moolas. in theory and then there's a parallel
[36:42] theory and then there's a parallel system the state apparatus that actually
[36:44] system the state apparatus that actually takes care of day-to-day bureaucracy and
[36:47] takes care of day-to-day bureaucracy and that's secular. Uh the mas control the
[36:51] that's secular. Uh the mas control the morality of the country they also
[36:52] morality of the country they also control foreign affairs. So basically um
[36:56] control foreign affairs. So basically um this is important because Iran has two
[36:59] this is important because Iran has two parallel military structures. You have
[37:02] parallel military structures. You have the military but you also have the IRGC.
[37:08] the military but you also have the IRGC. The IRGC are only loyal to the mullas
[37:11] The IRGC are only loyal to the mullas >> which is the religious part.
[37:13] >> which is the religious part. >> Exactly. All right. So you have this
[37:15] >> Exactly. All right. So you have this divide in the in the country where the
[37:18] divide in the in the country where the IRGC see this as a religious war as a
[37:22] IRGC see this as a religious war as a crusade to kill the great Satan and they
[37:24] crusade to kill the great Satan and they want to fight to the death
[37:25] want to fight to the death >> and the great Satan is
[37:26] >> and the great Satan is >> the great Satan is the American Empire.
[37:29] >> the great Satan is the American Empire. >> Okay.
[37:29] >> Okay. >> Uh which is a source of the misery that
[37:32] >> Uh which is a source of the misery that I has been suffering for the past few
[37:34] I has been suffering for the past few decades. And they already see not only
[37:37] decades. And they already see not only do they see America as great Satan, but
[37:40] do they see America as great Satan, but they also see this as a global conflict
[37:43] they also see this as a global conflict because they have proxies that support
[37:45] because they have proxies that support their beliefs, including here in
[37:48] their beliefs, including here in Lebanon, Hezbollah, including here in
[37:51] Lebanon, Hezbollah, including here in Yemen, the Huies, and of course in
[37:54] Yemen, the Huies, and of course in Palestine, Hamas. Okay. and and before
[37:57] Palestine, Hamas. Okay. and and before Syria was also part of their axis of
[38:00] Syria was also part of their axis of resistance but Syria has been toppled by
[38:03] resistance but Syria has been toppled by the Americans and and Israelis. So the
[38:06] the Americans and and Israelis. So the IRGC see this as a religious crusade
[38:08] IRGC see this as a religious crusade that is global in nature. The political
[38:11] that is global in nature. The political leadership in Tran sees it completely
[38:13] leadership in Tran sees it completely different. They see this as a conflict
[38:16] different. They see this as a conflict primarily between America and Iran and
[38:19] primarily between America and Iran and they want to reach a political
[38:20] they want to reach a political settlement as soon as possible. And so
[38:23] settlement as soon as possible. And so in other words, these ceasefire
[38:27] in other words, these ceasefire negotiations, it's really all for show
[38:30] negotiations, it's really all for show because at the end of the day, even if
[38:32] because at the end of the day, even if the Americans gave the Iranians
[38:34] the Americans gave the Iranians everything they wanted, the RTC still
[38:38] everything they wanted, the RTC still controls
[38:40] controls um the battlefield and they would not um
[38:43] um the battlefield and they would not um surrender or or seek peace terms
[38:46] surrender or or seek peace terms lightly. Another problem in this
[38:48] lightly. Another problem in this situation is the RTC practice something
[38:51] situation is the RTC practice something called the Mosiaak strategy. Mosiaak.
[38:55] called the Mosiaak strategy. Mosiaak. The idea of the Moak strategy is okay
[38:58] The idea of the Moak strategy is okay you know the Americans the most
[39:00] you know the Americans the most effective military ever in human
[39:02] effective military ever in human history. You know that they practice
[39:04] history. You know that they practice shock and all decapitation.
[39:06] shock and all decapitation. So how do you respond to that? You
[39:08] So how do you respond to that? You respond to that using decentralization.
[39:11] respond to that using decentralization. 31 provinces in the country with their
[39:14] 31 provinces in the country with their own command and control that is
[39:16] own command and control that is localized.
[39:17] localized. >> So basically they have 31 different
[39:19] >> So basically they have 31 different armies that have their own leadership.
[39:21] armies that have their own leadership. >> That's correct. Okay. And when you do
[39:23] >> That's correct. Okay. And when you do this it's a fight to the finish.
[39:24] this it's a fight to the finish. >> Why did they do that?
[39:26] >> Why did they do that? >> They did it because the Americans
[39:28] >> They did it because the Americans possess the most sophisticated
[39:31] possess the most sophisticated surveillance technology in the world.
[39:33] surveillance technology in the world. meaning they can easily identify the
[39:36] meaning they can easily identify the leadership and they can easily track you
[39:39] leadership and they can easily track you down and kill you. So the only way
[39:41] down and kill you. So the only way around that is to decentralize the
[39:43] around that is to decentralize the leadership and spread around the country
[39:46] leadership and spread around the country so that the Americans cannot kill the
[39:48] so that the Americans cannot kill the everyone. How does the central
[39:50] everyone. How does the central government orchestrate 31 different
[39:52] government orchestrate 31 different armies in Iran? How does it get a
[39:54] armies in Iran? How does it get a message out to them? I heard Peter Hexf
[39:57] message out to them? I heard Peter Hexf make a a comment in one of the
[39:58] make a a comment in one of the interviews saying that it takes some
[40:00] interviews saying that it takes some time for the pigeons to get out to the
[40:03] time for the pigeons to get out to the armies. And what he was saying basically
[40:05] armies. And what he was saying basically is that um when the ceasefire was called
[40:07] is that um when the ceasefire was called and there was still some um missiles
[40:09] and there was still some um missiles flying, he was basically saying that's
[40:11] flying, he was basically saying that's just because it takes a long time to
[40:12] just because it takes a long time to tell the 31 different armies to stop.
[40:14] tell the 31 different armies to stop. >> The reality is that given a MOS
[40:17] >> The reality is that given a MOS strategy, there's actually no way to
[40:19] strategy, there's actually no way to coordinate these 31 different military
[40:23] coordinate these 31 different military operations.
[40:25] operations. Because the Musk strategy was meant to
[40:29] Because the Musk strategy was meant to was meant to fight to the bird of air.
[40:31] was meant to fight to the bird of air. You do not stop until you completely
[40:33] You do not stop until you completely control the Middle East and the
[40:35] control the Middle East and the Americans have been forced out of the
[40:37] Americans have been forced out of the Middle East and Israel has been humbled.
[40:42] Middle East and Israel has been humbled. >> Okay,
[40:42] >> Okay, >> so let's go into the specifics of what
[40:45] >> so let's go into the specifics of what the Mosak strategy is. The idea is that
[40:48] the Mosak strategy is. The idea is that they have an esquetology.
[40:51] they have an esquetology. Okay. So, esquetology is an
[40:53] Okay. So, esquetology is an understanding of how the world should be
[40:56] understanding of how the world should be and how we move towards this world. And
[41:02] and how we move towards this world. And for the Iranians,
[41:04] for the Iranians, their esquetology is that Iran in order
[41:07] their esquetology is that Iran in order to reach its true potential needs to be
[41:10] to reach its true potential needs to be master of the Muslim world. It needs to
[41:14] master of the Muslim world. It needs to displace Saudi Arabia because Saudi
[41:16] displace Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia it's too aligned with the United
[41:19] Arabia it's too aligned with the United States which is the great Satan. Mecca
[41:21] States which is the great Satan. Mecca and Medina are under the influence of
[41:24] and Medina are under the influence of the great Satan because why are there US
[41:28] the great Satan because why are there US military bases in Saudi Arabia?
[41:33] military bases in Saudi Arabia? So this war from their perspective, it's
[41:35] So this war from their perspective, it's a great opportunity to overthrow the
[41:38] a great opportunity to overthrow the corrupt leadership of Saudi Arabia, but
[41:40] corrupt leadership of Saudi Arabia, but not only Saudi Arabia, but the entire
[41:41] not only Saudi Arabia, but the entire GCC. Overthrow the corrupt governments
[41:44] GCC. Overthrow the corrupt governments of the entire Muslim world and install
[41:48] of the entire Muslim world and install governments that put God Allah first.
[41:54] governments that put God Allah first. >> So they're they're not going to quit
[41:56] >> So they're they're not going to quit Iran. This war once it starts
[42:00] Iran. This war once it starts can only lead to World War II.
[42:03] can only lead to World War II. >> That's a strong statement to make. As a
[42:05] >> That's a strong statement to make. As a probability,
[42:06] probability, >> okay,
[42:07] >> okay, >> what probability would you assign to
[42:08] >> what probability would you assign to that claim?
[42:09] that claim? >> I would put it pretty high. Anywhere
[42:12] >> I would put it pretty high. Anywhere between 80 to 90% probability.
[42:14] between 80 to 90% probability. >> So that's certainty.
[42:16] >> So that's certainty. >> Basically certainty. Yes.
[42:17] >> Basically certainty. Yes. >> Explain to me how that happens.
[42:19] >> Explain to me how that happens. >> Okay. So we need to step back and
[42:21] >> Okay. So we need to step back and appreciate
[42:23] appreciate um that there's a global dynamic going
[42:27] um that there's a global dynamic going on.
[42:28] on. >> Okay. And we need to appreciate the
[42:31] >> Okay. And we need to appreciate the grand strategy of the different players
[42:33] grand strategy of the different players involved.
[42:34] involved. >> Right? So what what I'm going to do is
[42:35] >> Right? So what what I'm going to do is this.
[42:37] this. I'm going to explain
[42:41] I'm going to explain to you how each nation
[42:44] to you how each nation sees itself in the world.
[42:47] sees itself in the world. >> Okay? And to do that, I'm going to use a
[42:49] >> Okay? And to do that, I'm going to use a chess set. Okay.
[42:50] chess set. Okay. >> Okay.
[42:50] >> Okay. >> All right. This is the king.
[42:53] >> All right. This is the king. This is the political system of the
[42:56] This is the political system of the United States, which is democracy.
[42:58] United States, which is democracy. And there are certain strengths and
[43:00] And there are certain strengths and weaknesses to a democracy. Democracy is
[43:03] weaknesses to a democracy. Democracy is vibrant. It's creative. It's flexible.
[43:06] vibrant. It's creative. It's flexible. But its ultimate weakness is
[43:08] But its ultimate weakness is polarization
[43:10] polarization where today
[43:12] where today um the different political factions
[43:14] um the different political factions refuse to get along. And this may break
[43:16] refuse to get along. And this may break out the civil war. Okay.
[43:17] out the civil war. Okay. >> Mhm.
[43:17] >> Mhm. >> So, the way you defeat the United States
[43:19] >> So, the way you defeat the United States is not to conquer it. You can never call
[43:22] is not to conquer it. You can never call the United States. The way to defeat the
[43:24] the United States. The way to defeat the United States is to force it into a
[43:27] United States is to force it into a civil war, which then kills the king
[43:30] civil war, which then kills the king >> to get its people to rise up against the
[43:32] >> to get its people to rise up against the leadership.
[43:33] leadership. >> No, you want the Democrats and the
[43:35] >> No, you want the Democrats and the Republicans to form different factions
[43:37] Republicans to form different factions and fight a civil war.
[43:38] and fight a civil war. >> Okay?
[43:39] >> Okay? >> You you want to create so much political
[43:40] >> You you want to create so much political polarization the different elite
[43:42] polarization the different elite factions take up arms against each
[43:44] factions take up arms against each other. Okay? So, this is the political
[43:46] other. Okay? So, this is the political system. Okay, but democracy. Now let's
[43:49] system. Okay, but democracy. Now let's look at the queen. What is the queen?
[43:51] look at the queen. What is the queen? The queen is what I refer to as the
[43:53] The queen is what I refer to as the grand strategy
[43:55] grand strategy of the United States. How the United
[43:58] of the United States. How the United States can maintain its control over the
[44:00] States can maintain its control over the entire world. And the grand strategy,
[44:02] entire world. And the grand strategy, it's already outlined in the national
[44:03] it's already outlined in the national defense strategy,
[44:05] defense strategy, >> right? Let's create Fortress America and
[44:08] >> right? Let's create Fortress America and then create chaos throughout the entire
[44:11] then create chaos throughout the entire world so that we can sell everyone
[44:14] world so that we can sell everyone weapons and resources. Okay, that's a
[44:16] weapons and resources. Okay, that's a grand strategy. All right. All right.
[44:18] grand strategy. All right. All right. Now, once you have a grand strategy, you
[44:20] Now, once you have a grand strategy, you need you need to implement this grand
[44:21] need you need to implement this grand strategy. So, you need attack vectors.
[44:24] strategy. So, you need attack vectors. All right. The attack vectors
[44:26] All right. The attack vectors are the rook, the bishop, and the
[44:30] are the rook, the bishop, and the knight. All right. So, let's go over the
[44:32] knight. All right. So, let's go over the three major attack vectors of the United
[44:34] three major attack vectors of the United States. They are first of all, America's
[44:37] States. They are first of all, America's technological supremacy.
[44:39] technological supremacy. >> So, these are the basically the tools
[44:40] >> So, these are the basically the tools that they use to attack others.
[44:42] that they use to attack others. >> Exactly. In order to achieve their grand
[44:44] >> Exactly. In order to achieve their grand strategy, right? All right. So, aeros
[44:45] strategy, right? All right. So, aeros supremacy, right?
[44:46] supremacy, right? >> Which is the planes and the stuff like
[44:48] >> Which is the planes and the stuff like that.
[44:49] that. >> Then you have the US dollar,
[44:53] >> Then you have the US dollar, right? Because the US dollar allows you
[44:57] right? Because the US dollar allows you to finance everything and everyone wants
[45:00] to finance everything and everyone wants the um uh US dollar. Okay.
[45:02] the um uh US dollar. Okay. >> Mhm.
[45:03] >> Mhm. >> So, that is the second attack vector.
[45:06] >> So, that is the second attack vector. The third attack vector is propaganda.
[45:09] The third attack vector is propaganda. mean United States controls the world's
[45:11] mean United States controls the world's most powerful media including New York
[45:13] most powerful media including New York Times, CNN and as such they can control
[45:15] Times, CNN and as such they can control the narrative of the world. Okay, so
[45:18] the narrative of the world. Okay, so these are the three major attack
[45:19] these are the three major attack vectors.
[45:20] vectors. Now they use the pawns. The pawns are
[45:25] Now they use the pawns. The pawns are weapons that they can sacrifice in order
[45:27] weapons that they can sacrifice in order to achieve the grand strategy. And in
[45:30] to achieve the grand strategy. And in the case of United States,
[45:32] the case of United States, the pawn are the allies.
[45:36] the pawn are the allies. meaning I had to say this but the UK
[45:41] meaning I had to say this but the UK um Europe,
[45:44] um Europe, South Korea
[45:47] South Korea and Japan.
[45:49] and Japan. Okay. And also the entire Western
[45:53] Okay. And also the entire Western Hemisphere. This is the
[45:56] Hemisphere. This is the America the Americans. Okay. The people
[45:58] America the Americans. Okay. The people who are most opposed to this grand
[46:01] who are most opposed to this grand strategy of Americans are the Russians.
[46:03] strategy of Americans are the Russians. So let's go over the the Russian system.
[46:06] So let's go over the the Russian system. In the Russian system,
[46:09] In the Russian system, the king, the political system is an
[46:11] the king, the political system is an autocracy.
[46:12] autocracy. And an autocracy, it's good because it
[46:14] And an autocracy, it's good because it allows for coronation. It allows for
[46:17] allows for coronation. It allows for decisiveness. It allows for um resolve,
[46:22] decisiveness. It allows for um resolve, >> long-term thinking.
[46:23] >> long-term thinking. >> Exactly. Right. That's Putin.
[46:26] >> Exactly. Right. That's Putin. What's bad is
[46:28] What's bad is if this guy dies, there's a secession
[46:31] if this guy dies, there's a secession crisis, right? So basically once you
[46:34] crisis, right? So basically once you topple the autocrat, then the system
[46:38] topple the autocrat, then the system itself breaks down. Okay? So that's the
[46:41] itself breaks down. Okay? So that's the Russian system, right? For the Russians,
[46:44] Russian system, right? For the Russians, a great strategy is something called the
[46:46] a great strategy is something called the third Rome strategy.
[46:48] third Rome strategy. >> The third Rome strategy.
[46:49] >> The third Rome strategy. >> Yes. Okay. So the people in Russia
[46:52] >> Yes. Okay. So the people in Russia believe that they are the true
[46:54] believe that they are the true successors to the Roman Empire and
[46:56] successors to the Roman Empire and previously there are two Romes. It was
[46:58] previously there are two Romes. It was the first Rome then it moved to
[47:01] the first Rome then it moved to Kalanapole
[47:03] Kalanapole and Moscow is destined to the to be the
[47:06] and Moscow is destined to the to be the third Rome. And what makes Moscow
[47:10] third Rome. And what makes Moscow interesting is that it wants to unite
[47:13] interesting is that it wants to unite the entire
[47:15] the entire Christian world under its leadership. Um
[47:18] Christian world under its leadership. Um the main philosopher for the third Rome
[47:20] the main philosopher for the third Rome strategy is Aern Dugan who in 1997 wrote
[47:23] strategy is Aern Dugan who in 1997 wrote a wrote a book called foundation of
[47:25] a wrote a book called foundation of geopolitics. And what he said was this.
[47:27] geopolitics. And what he said was this. What he said that if Russia is to defeat
[47:29] What he said that if Russia is to defeat the Americans, it needs to build
[47:31] the Americans, it needs to build alliances throughout Eurasia in order to
[47:34] alliances throughout Eurasia in order to negate American sea power and aerosy.
[47:37] negate American sea power and aerosy. All right. So what are the attack
[47:40] All right. So what are the attack vectors
[47:42] vectors for Russia? Okay. The first attack that
[47:45] for Russia? Okay. The first attack that door, the size of the country makes it
[47:48] door, the size of the country makes it almost invincible. So think about World
[47:50] almost invincible. So think about World War II, Operation Bar Rosa. The Germans
[47:52] War II, Operation Bar Rosa. The Germans went into Russia with 67 million men and
[47:56] went into Russia with 67 million men and it didn't get very far. Okay? So the
[47:58] it didn't get very far. Okay? So the Trin is very important. The geography is
[48:01] Trin is very important. The geography is very important. Then you have the
[48:03] very important. Then you have the Orthodox religion
[48:05] Orthodox religion which is meant to galvanize believers
[48:09] which is meant to galvanize believers into supporting Russia. The third attack
[48:13] into supporting Russia. The third attack vector is artillery. So Russia has the
[48:17] vector is artillery. So Russia has the best land army in the world and we we're
[48:20] best land army in the world and we we're seeing that play out in Ukraine where um
[48:22] seeing that play out in Ukraine where um a combination of Russian artillery and
[48:25] a combination of Russian artillery and drones it's devastating Ukrainian
[48:27] drones it's devastating Ukrainian military in Ukraine. The pause for
[48:30] military in Ukraine. The pause for Russia are are its soldiers. So Russia
[48:34] Russia are are its soldiers. So Russia is able to sustain
[48:37] is able to sustain many many casualties in its military. If
[48:42] many many casualties in its military. If you actually go and interview Russian
[48:44] you actually go and interview Russian soldiers, they are probably the bravest
[48:47] soldiers, they are probably the bravest soldiers in the world. They are
[48:48] soldiers in the world. They are literally not afraid to die for what
[48:50] literally not afraid to die for what they believe in. Okay. So, this is the
[48:53] they believe in. Okay. So, this is the um Russian third Rome strategy. You can
[48:55] um Russian third Rome strategy. You can see how it conflicts with the Americans.
[48:59] see how it conflicts with the Americans. >> Mhm. Okay. Now, we go to the Israelis.
[49:03] >> Mhm. Okay. Now, we go to the Israelis. Jerusalem, the capital, it's a mixed
[49:05] Jerusalem, the capital, it's a mixed system, meaning it's both democracy as
[49:08] system, meaning it's both democracy as well as a theocracy.
[49:10] well as a theocracy. And it's good in that the Israelis are
[49:14] And it's good in that the Israelis are very creative. But the fundamental
[49:16] very creative. But the fundamental weakness is the division within the
[49:18] weakness is the division within the society where Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
[49:21] society where Tel Aviv and Jerusalem don't get along. Okay. So that is the
[49:25] don't get along. Okay. So that is the belief system of Israel.
[49:28] belief system of Israel. The grand strategy of Israel is called
[49:30] The grand strategy of Israel is called the greater Israel project. So the
[49:33] the greater Israel project. So the Israelis believe that the entire Middle
[49:34] Israelis believe that the entire Middle East belongs to them from the Nile to
[49:38] East belongs to them from the Nile to the Euphrates because that's what it
[49:40] the Euphrates because that's what it says in the Bible. This is what God
[49:42] says in the Bible. This is what God Yahweh promised Abraham. So their
[49:46] Yahweh promised Abraham. So their intention is to conquer the entire
[49:49] intention is to conquer the entire Middle East including Egypt, Saudi
[49:52] Middle East including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, even parts of Turkey.
[49:56] Arabia, Lebanon, even parts of Turkey. Okay.
[49:58] Okay. Now let's look at the attack vectors for
[50:01] Now let's look at the attack vectors for the the the the um Israelis. The first
[50:04] the the the the um Israelis. The first attack vector
[50:06] attack vector is
[50:08] is Mossad. Mossad is the most powerful
[50:12] Mossad. Mossad is the most powerful intelligence agency in the world in that
[50:15] intelligence agency in the world in that it is able to infiltrate
[50:18] it is able to infiltrate and undermine different political
[50:20] and undermine different political systems.
[50:21] systems. >> And the Assad for anyone that doesn't
[50:22] >> And the Assad for anyone that doesn't know is their secret service
[50:24] know is their secret service >> basically. Yes.
[50:25] >> basically. Yes. >> Their spy system. Second attack vector
[50:29] >> Their spy system. Second attack vector for the Israelis is the Jewish diaspora
[50:33] for the Israelis is the Jewish diaspora because the Jews do business everywhere
[50:35] because the Jews do business everywhere around the world and Jewish businessmen
[50:38] around the world and Jewish businessmen work very closely with Mossad
[50:42] work very closely with Mossad and as such they have influence in a lot
[50:44] and as such they have influence in a lot of places that they shouldn't have. And
[50:47] of places that they shouldn't have. And the um third um attack vector is the
[50:52] the um third um attack vector is the Bible.
[50:53] Bible. Why? Because if you're a Christian, and
[50:56] Why? Because if you're a Christian, and there are many Christians who believe
[50:57] there are many Christians who believe this, you believe that the Jews are
[51:00] this, you believe that the Jews are God's chosen people. So if you look at
[51:02] God's chosen people. So if you look at what's happening in uh the Middle East,
[51:06] what's happening in uh the Middle East, um all this conflict between Israel and
[51:07] um all this conflict between Israel and Palestine, a lot of this conflict is
[51:10] Palestine, a lot of this conflict is being supported politically in the
[51:12] being supported politically in the United States by a group of people
[51:14] United States by a group of people called Christian Zionists. And these are
[51:16] called Christian Zionists. And these are Christians. They're not Jews. Christians
[51:18] Christians. They're not Jews. Christians who believe that Israel should treat
[51:22] who believe that Israel should treat achieve the greater Israel project
[51:24] achieve the greater Israel project because this is part of God's plan and
[51:26] because this is part of God's plan and the pawns
[51:28] the pawns for the Israelis are basically
[51:32] for the Israelis are basically everyone else. Okay.
[51:35] everyone else. Okay. So, a lot of the hardware underpinning
[51:38] So, a lot of the hardware underpinning the global IT infrastructure um is being
[51:42] the global IT infrastructure um is being controlled by the Israelis.
[51:45] controlled by the Israelis. So now we go to the fourth player in
[51:47] So now we go to the fourth player in this great game and that's Iran. So
[51:49] this great game and that's Iran. So Iran, it is a theocracy. People are not
[51:53] Iran, it is a theocracy. People are not afraid to die for what they believe in
[51:54] afraid to die for what they believe in in Iran. But the weakness is that it can
[51:58] in Iran. But the weakness is that it can alienate the majority of the population
[52:00] alienate the majority of the population because only a minority are religious
[52:02] because only a minority are religious zealots in Iran. Most people just want
[52:06] zealots in Iran. Most people just want to live to live a decent life. So if
[52:09] to live to live a decent life. So if they feel that these mas the IRGC are a
[52:13] they feel that these mas the IRGC are a threat to their peace and prosperity
[52:16] threat to their peace and prosperity then they might rise up against the mas
[52:18] then they might rise up against the mas >> which is what we've seen over the years.
[52:19] >> which is what we've seen over the years. Right.
[52:20] Right. >> Exactly. So so this political system of
[52:23] >> Exactly. So so this political system of the um Iranians their grand strategy is
[52:26] the um Iranians their grand strategy is to unite the Muslim world under
[52:28] to unite the Muslim world under leadership. They have three attack
[52:31] leadership. They have three attack vectors. Okay. The first attack vector
[52:34] vectors. Okay. The first attack vector are their proxies.
[52:36] are their proxies. Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthies.
[52:40] Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthies. Another attack vector
[52:43] Another attack vector um is their asymmetrical warfare,
[52:44] um is their asymmetrical warfare, meaning using drones and missiles to
[52:47] meaning using drones and missiles to create as much economic damage as
[52:48] create as much economic damage as possible. Okay. And the third attack
[52:52] possible. Okay. And the third attack vector is their geography or their top
[52:55] vector is their geography or their top topography. They are a fortress. So it's
[52:57] topography. They are a fortress. So it's almost impossible to um in invade them.
[53:01] almost impossible to um in invade them. Right? So that's their Shia militi.
[53:04] Right? So that's their Shia militi. these religious zealots who are not
[53:06] these religious zealots who are not afraid to die. Um, essentially they're
[53:08] afraid to die. Um, essentially they're all many of them could be suicide
[53:10] all many of them could be suicide bombers. Okay? And and so for them, this
[53:13] bombers. Okay? And and so for them, this is a religious war. Okay? So now we're
[53:16] is a religious war. Okay? So now we're seeing how this entire battlefield
[53:19] seeing how this entire battlefield unfolds across the world. All right? So
[53:23] unfolds across the world. All right? So I've mapped out the grand strategy of
[53:25] I've mapped out the grand strategy of these different nation states who will
[53:27] these different nation states who will be involved in World War II. Let's look
[53:30] be involved in World War II. Let's look at our present situation. Okay? So what
[53:32] at our present situation. Okay? So what we have so far is that the Russians are
[53:36] we have so far is that the Russians are occupied with their army in Ukraine.
[53:40] occupied with their army in Ukraine. Okay, this is where their infantry,
[53:42] Okay, this is where their infantry, their artillery is based. At the same
[53:45] their artillery is based. At the same time, Russia has something called the
[53:47] time, Russia has something called the shuttle fleet. And these are about a
[53:49] shuttle fleet. And these are about a thousand
[53:50] thousand um tankers that evade sanctions around
[53:53] um tankers that evade sanctions around the world. Okay? And this is essentially
[53:56] the world. Okay? And this is essentially their navy. America
[54:00] their navy. America is the most powerful military in the
[54:01] is the most powerful military in the world. They have the most sophisticated
[54:04] world. They have the most sophisticated aerial supremacy as well as a control
[54:07] aerial supremacy as well as a control over the sea lanes and it tries not to
[54:09] over the sea lanes and it tries not to use infantry uh because that creates
[54:12] use infantry uh because that creates civilian casualties and that pisses
[54:13] civilian casualties and that pisses everyone off in America. Okay. The
[54:16] everyone off in America. Okay. The Israelis
[54:18] Israelis are essentially a mercenary army aligned
[54:22] are essentially a mercenary army aligned with American Empire doing the bidding
[54:24] with American Empire doing the bidding of the American Empire. It's fighting in
[54:27] of the American Empire. It's fighting in against Lebanon as well as Iran. The
[54:32] against Lebanon as well as Iran. The Iranians, they don't have much of an air
[54:34] Iranians, they don't have much of an air force, but they use a lot of drones to
[54:37] force, but they use a lot of drones to threaten. So, this is where we are so
[54:40] threaten. So, this is where we are so far. According to the grand strategy, we
[54:43] far. According to the grand strategy, we can predict how they will make their
[54:46] can predict how they will make their moves over the next few months, or next
[54:48] moves over the next few months, or next few years. America
[54:50] few years. America doesn't really care about this war in
[54:53] doesn't really care about this war in Iran because what America wants to do is
[54:57] Iran because what America wants to do is force entire world to become dependent
[54:59] force entire world to become dependent on American weapons and resources and
[55:04] on American weapons and resources and you do that in two ways. The first is
[55:06] you do that in two ways. The first is you control
[55:08] you control the strategic choke points of the world
[55:12] the strategic choke points of the world and they include the sh of kumus but you
[55:15] and they include the sh of kumus but you also want to control the sh of mala
[55:18] also want to control the sh of mala right over here because that blocks off
[55:20] right over here because that blocks off east Asia. You also want to control the
[55:22] east Asia. You also want to control the panama canal. You also want to control
[55:24] panama canal. You also want to control Greenland. You also want to control the
[55:25] Greenland. You also want to control the sh of uh Jibralar. You can see the
[55:28] sh of uh Jibralar. You can see the American Navy expanding outwards and
[55:30] American Navy expanding outwards and occupying all these maritime choke
[55:32] occupying all these maritime choke points. At the same time, you want to
[55:35] points. At the same time, you want to use your technological supremacy, your
[55:37] use your technological supremacy, your aerial supremacy, your drones to destroy
[55:40] aerial supremacy, your drones to destroy the world's critical energy
[55:43] the world's critical energy infrastructure. Already, we're seeing
[55:45] infrastructure. Already, we're seeing oil refineries being destroyed
[55:47] oil refineries being destroyed throughout the world.
[55:48] throughout the world. >> Oil refineries.
[55:49] >> Oil refineries. >> Oil refineries. Yes. So, you as as
[55:52] >> Oil refineries. Yes. So, you as as America, you're trying to deplete the
[55:55] America, you're trying to deplete the world's energy in inventory. So, they're
[55:57] world's energy in inventory. So, they're forced to beg you
[56:00] forced to beg you for to supply energy, right? And once
[56:03] for to supply energy, right? And once this market is created, then you can
[56:06] this market is created, then you can build infrastructure for Venezuela. You
[56:08] build infrastructure for Venezuela. You can take over Canada. You can control
[56:09] can take over Canada. You can control Mexico. You can take take over
[56:11] Mexico. You can take take over Greenland. Okay? The Russians have no
[56:14] Greenland. Okay? The Russians have no choice but to respond because if the
[56:19] choice but to respond because if the Americans are controlling the shooting
[56:21] Americans are controlling the shooting control points, your shuttle fleet is
[56:25] control points, your shuttle fleet is rendered redundant, useless.
[56:29] rendered redundant, useless. So, how do you ship your oil
[56:33] So, how do you ship your oil around the world? Well, you have two
[56:35] around the world? Well, you have two options. I'm just going to build
[56:37] options. I'm just going to build railways to unite the Eurasian
[56:39] railways to unite the Eurasian continent, okay? And I'm I'll transport
[56:41] continent, okay? And I'm I'll transport my oil using pipelines and railways. The
[56:44] my oil using pipelines and railways. The problem with that is not is now that
[56:46] problem with that is not is now that you're vulnerable to American aerosy
[56:50] you're vulnerable to American aerosy drone attacks. So, you have no choice
[56:52] drone attacks. So, you have no choice but to arm your shuttle fleet. And now
[56:56] but to arm your shuttle fleet. And now what's gonna happen is this conflict in
[56:59] what's gonna happen is this conflict in the oceans between Russian shuttle
[57:04] the oceans between Russian shuttle fleet tankers that are trying to
[57:06] fleet tankers that are trying to transport oil around the world and these
[57:08] transport oil around the world and these American destroyers who are trying to
[57:11] American destroyers who are trying to capture or destroy these shadow tankers.
[57:14] capture or destroy these shadow tankers. Now the advantage that Russia has is
[57:18] Now the advantage that Russia has is that America doesn't have that much
[57:21] that America doesn't have that much naval assets anymore. It used to but not
[57:23] naval assets anymore. It used to but not anymore. The other thing is that the
[57:25] anymore. The other thing is that the world really needs energy. So you can
[57:28] world really needs energy. So you can imagine China financing the
[57:31] imagine China financing the militarization of the Russian shuttle
[57:33] militarization of the Russian shuttle fleet.
[57:34] fleet. >> Why would sir why would the US try and
[57:36] >> Why would sir why would the US try and stop Russian boats?
[57:39] stop Russian boats? >> Because um in this global outlook
[57:44] >> Because um in this global outlook there are two nations that could provide
[57:47] there are two nations that could provide weapons and resources to the rest of the
[57:49] weapons and resources to the rest of the world.
[57:50] world. >> They are Russia and they are America. So
[57:52] >> They are Russia and they are America. So if America has become dominant, it needs
[57:54] if America has become dominant, it needs to blockade Russia. The way you do that
[57:56] to blockade Russia. The way you do that is by seizing their shuttle fleet.
[58:00] is by seizing their shuttle fleet. >> But but if that happened, that would be
[58:01] >> But but if that happened, that would be an act of war.
[58:02] an act of war. >> But it's already happening.
[58:03] >> But it's already happening. >> What? Really?
[58:04] >> What? Really? >> Yes, it's already happening.
[58:05] >> Yes, it's already happening. >> Where?
[58:06] >> Where? >> Iranian tankers have been seized by the
[58:09] >> Iranian tankers have been seized by the Americans and tankers are being seized
[58:13] Americans and tankers are being seized in the Caribbean as well by the American
[58:15] in the Caribbean as well by the American Navy.
[58:16] Navy. >> Whose tankers?
[58:18] >> Whose tankers? >> I believe they are Russian tankers.
[58:21] >> I believe they are Russian tankers. >> Yes. The United States has indeed been
[58:23] >> Yes. The United States has indeed been seizing tankers linked to Russia. A
[58:25] seizing tankers linked to Russia. A major escalation occurred earlier this
[58:26] major escalation occurred earlier this year on January the 7th, 2026 when the
[58:28] year on January the 7th, 2026 when the US military and Coast Guard intercepted
[58:31] US military and Coast Guard intercepted two sanctioned shadow fleet oil tankers.
[58:34] two sanctioned shadow fleet oil tankers. While one was seized directly in the
[58:36] While one was seized directly in the Caribbean, the other involved a dramatic
[58:37] Caribbean, the other involved a dramatic chase that started in the Caribbean and
[58:39] chase that started in the Caribbean and ended in the North Atlantic.
[58:43] ended in the North Atlantic. US forces captured this sanctioned
[58:45] US forces captured this sanctioned tanker during a pre-dawn raid directly
[58:47] tanker during a pre-dawn raid directly in the Caribbean Sea. The US military
[58:49] in the Caribbean Sea. The US military described it as stateless sanctioned
[58:52] described it as stateless sanctioned dark fleet vessel which was engaged in
[58:55] dark fleet vessel which was engaged in illicit activities. These seizures are
[58:58] illicit activities. These seizures are part of operation southern spear, a
[59:00] part of operation southern spear, a strict enforcement of the US embargo on
[59:03] strict enforcement of the US embargo on Venezuelan oil exports. Both vessels
[59:05] Venezuelan oil exports. Both vessels were targeted for violating US sanctions
[59:07] were targeted for violating US sanctions by transporting illicit crude oil linked
[59:10] by transporting illicit crude oil linked to Venezuela as well as Iran and
[59:13] to Venezuela as well as Iran and Hezbollah.
[59:14] Hezbollah. >> And as you point out, this is an act of
[59:15] >> And as you point out, this is an act of war. So those were ships that didn't
[59:18] war. So those were ships that didn't have a country linked to them directly.
[59:21] have a country linked to them directly. >> That's why they're called shuttle fleet
[59:22] >> That's why they're called shuttle fleet tankers.
[59:22] tankers. >> Okay.
[59:23] >> Okay. >> Yes. But they essentially Russian,
[59:25] >> Yes. But they essentially Russian, >> but they were essentially shipping oil
[59:27] >> but they were essentially shipping oil outside of the United States that the
[59:29] outside of the United States that the United States wouldn't control. Is that
[59:31] United States wouldn't control. Is that kind of
[59:31] kind of >> that? That is correct. Yes. Okay. Yes.
[59:33] >> that? That is correct. Yes. Okay. Yes. So
[59:34] So >> So the US said, "Listen, this is our
[59:35] >> So the US said, "Listen, this is our oil. Get lost."
[59:36] oil. Get lost." >> That is correct. Yes. Right. So what the
[59:38] >> That is correct. Yes. Right. So what the United States is doing is slowly
[59:40] United States is doing is slowly expanding its global reach. The way it's
[59:42] expanding its global reach. The way it's doing that is by setting treaties with
[59:44] doing that is by setting treaties with nations that are part of these choke
[59:46] nations that are part of these choke points. So the Malaa recently United
[59:49] points. So the Malaa recently United States has signed a military cooperation
[59:50] States has signed a military cooperation agreement with Indonesia and with the
[59:53] agreement with Indonesia and with the Jialter uh the Americans have signed an
[59:55] Jialter uh the Americans have signed an agreement now with Morocco right so they
[59:57] agreement now with Morocco right so they are looking for the legal framework
[01:00:00] are looking for the legal framework justification to control the world's
[01:00:02] justification to control the world's choke points which would bring them
[01:00:04] choke points which would bring them directly in conflict with the Russian
[01:00:05] directly in conflict with the Russian shuttle fleet. So at some point you
[01:00:07] shuttle fleet. So at some point you think the way that the war starts is the
[01:00:10] think the way that the war starts is the US Navy attacks a Russian boat. So I
[01:00:17] US Navy attacks a Russian boat. So I personally believe that this will be a
[01:00:19] personally believe that this will be a drawn out process that and there's no
[01:00:22] drawn out process that and there's no real concrete flash point because not
[01:00:24] real concrete flash point because not only are Russian shuttle flanker shuttle
[01:00:28] only are Russian shuttle flanker shuttle um fleet tankers being seized but
[01:00:30] um fleet tankers being seized but remember Russian or foundaries are being
[01:00:32] remember Russian or foundaries are being destroyed by Ukrainian drones. The
[01:00:34] destroyed by Ukrainian drones. The Russians believe that it is NATO that is
[01:00:36] Russians believe that it is NATO that is responsible for the sabotage.
[01:00:38] responsible for the sabotage. >> So what when what do you think the
[01:00:40] >> So what when what do you think the catalyst moment is when this all kicks
[01:00:42] catalyst moment is when this all kicks off?
[01:00:43] off? >> I think we're already in the catalyst
[01:00:44] >> I think we're already in the catalyst moment. I think we're already in World
[01:00:46] moment. I think we're already in World War II because um this conflict it's
[01:00:49] War II because um this conflict it's going to expand outwards
[01:00:51] going to expand outwards uh into a global conflict and there's
[01:00:53] uh into a global conflict and there's nothing anyone can do to stop this,
[01:00:55] nothing anyone can do to stop this, right? Because again you have these
[01:00:56] right? Because again you have these different competing visions of how the
[01:00:58] different competing visions of how the world should work and the Russians and
[01:01:00] world should work and the Russians and Americans are already at conflict with
[01:01:02] Americans are already at conflict with each other. So the next step will be the
[01:01:06] each other. So the next step will be the Russians come into this war on the side
[01:01:09] Russians come into this war on the side of the Iranians.
[01:01:10] of the Iranians. >> Do you think that's going to happen?
[01:01:11] >> Do you think that's going to happen? >> I think that's going to happen because
[01:01:12] >> I think that's going to happen because according to Russian grand strategy, you
[01:01:14] according to Russian grand strategy, you have no choice but to save the Iranians
[01:01:16] have no choice but to save the Iranians because you're trying to promote this
[01:01:18] because you're trying to promote this view that the world is split between the
[01:01:21] view that the world is split between the spiritual and the material. The
[01:01:23] spiritual and the material. The Americans are the antichrist. The
[01:01:25] Americans are the antichrist. The Americans support individual hedenism.
[01:01:28] Americans support individual hedenism. Whereas we Russians, we believe in
[01:01:31] Whereas we Russians, we believe in humanity. We believe in goodness. We
[01:01:33] humanity. We believe in goodness. We believe in community. Right? So if you
[01:01:35] believe in community. Right? So if you believe if you if that is your argument,
[01:01:37] believe if you if that is your argument, if that's your grand strategy, then you
[01:01:38] if that's your grand strategy, then you have a moral ob obligation, a moral
[01:01:40] have a moral ob obligation, a moral imperative to help the Iranians in their
[01:01:42] imperative to help the Iranians in their time of need. And in fact, prime prime
[01:01:44] time of need. And in fact, prime prime minister uh Arachi of of Iran has
[01:01:47] minister uh Arachi of of Iran has recently visited Putin in Moscow. Putin
[01:01:50] recently visited Putin in Moscow. Putin Putin personally received him and said
[01:01:53] Putin personally received him and said to Rachi, "We the Russian people admire
[01:01:57] to Rachi, "We the Russian people admire your determination, your resolve um
[01:02:00] your determination, your resolve um against the Americans." And I think that
[01:02:02] against the Americans." And I think that is a sign that Putin has entered the
[01:02:06] is a sign that Putin has entered the chat and that the Russians will start to
[01:02:10] chat and that the Russians will start to help the Iranians as this war
[01:02:12] help the Iranians as this war progresses. So let's go back to this
[01:02:13] progresses. So let's go back to this map. Okay. Okay. And the Americans have
[01:02:16] map. Okay. Okay. And the Americans have a threeprong strategy to
[01:02:21] a threeprong strategy to strangle
[01:02:23] strangle um Iran. The first is use ground forces
[01:02:27] um Iran. The first is use ground forces to establish sport operating bases to
[01:02:30] to establish sport operating bases to incite ethnic violence in the country.
[01:02:32] incite ethnic violence in the country. The second is to block officer of Humus
[01:02:35] The second is to block officer of Humus and cut off Iranian financing. The third
[01:02:38] and cut off Iranian financing. The third is to strangle pan and cause the people
[01:02:41] is to strangle pan and cause the people to rise up against the government. Okay.
[01:02:43] to rise up against the government. Okay. If the Russians, so if things stay the
[01:02:46] If the Russians, so if things stay the same as they are now, America wins
[01:02:50] same as they are now, America wins easily.
[01:02:52] easily. But if Russia were to enter the war on
[01:02:55] But if Russia were to enter the war on behalf of the Iranians, the first thing
[01:02:56] behalf of the Iranians, the first thing that Russia would do is provide Tran
[01:03:00] that Russia would do is provide Tran with reinforcement from the Caspian Sea,
[01:03:03] with reinforcement from the Caspian Sea, right? Because the Americans want to
[01:03:05] right? Because the Americans want to knock out Tran's capacity to provide
[01:03:08] knock out Tran's capacity to provide food, water, and electricity to its
[01:03:10] food, water, and electricity to its people. But uh through the fastman sea,
[01:03:12] people. But uh through the fastman sea, the Russians can support the uh
[01:03:15] the Russians can support the uh Iranians. But not only that, and this is
[01:03:17] Iranians. But not only that, and this is much more important, if the Russians
[01:03:18] much more important, if the Russians were to come in, they could also bring
[01:03:20] were to come in, they could also bring the Chinese into the war on behalf of
[01:03:22] the Chinese into the war on behalf of the Iranians. And the Chinese could use
[01:03:25] the Iranians. And the Chinese could use the belt and rolling initiative,
[01:03:26] the belt and rolling initiative, basically the railway system to
[01:03:27] basically the railway system to reinforce Tran from
[01:03:31] reinforce Tran from uh the east. So now you can no longer
[01:03:34] uh the east. So now you can no longer strangle Tran because the Russians and
[01:03:36] strangle Tran because the Russians and the Chinese are reinforcing Tran. Then
[01:03:39] the Chinese are reinforcing Tran. Then what the Russians could do is provide
[01:03:42] what the Russians could do is provide financing to Iranians. Basically the
[01:03:45] financing to Iranians. Basically the Iranian the Chinese sorry the Chinese
[01:03:47] Iranian the Chinese sorry the Chinese and the Russians can say to Iranians
[01:03:49] and the Russians can say to Iranians don't worry about financing. We will
[01:03:52] don't worry about financing. We will give you enough uh financing for you to
[01:03:54] give you enough uh financing for you to continue this war for as long as you
[01:03:56] continue this war for as long as you want and we'll use our resources as
[01:03:58] want and we'll use our resources as collateral for this financing.
[01:04:01] collateral for this financing. Right? And the third thing, and this is
[01:04:03] Right? And the third thing, and this is actually the most important, is that
[01:04:06] actually the most important, is that Russia could put Iran under its nuclear
[01:04:10] Russia could put Iran under its nuclear umbrella. And this would negate the use
[01:04:12] umbrella. And this would negate the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The
[01:04:15] of tactical nuclear weapons. The Israelis and the Americans, if they
[01:04:17] Israelis and the Americans, if they really felt under pressure, if they
[01:04:20] really felt under pressure, if they really put in a corner, they could
[01:04:22] really put in a corner, they could always choose to use tactical nuclear
[01:04:23] always choose to use tactical nuclear weapons. If the Russians were involved,
[01:04:26] weapons. If the Russians were involved, that negates that option, right? So if
[01:04:30] that negates that option, right? So if the Russians get involved in this war,
[01:04:31] the Russians get involved in this war, they bring the Chinese, they provide,
[01:04:33] they bring the Chinese, they provide, they provide the resources and the
[01:04:35] they provide the resources and the financing to continue this war for as
[01:04:36] financing to continue this war for as long as it takes. Mhm.
[01:04:40] long as it takes. Mhm. Right. And now the Americans need to
[01:04:43] Right. And now the Americans need to expand this war on the world to try now
[01:04:47] expand this war on the world to try now to topple the government in Russia
[01:04:50] to topple the government in Russia because the Russians are the main
[01:04:53] because the Russians are the main backers of the Iranians. And you're
[01:04:56] backers of the Iranians. And you're predicting that Russia will get involved
[01:04:58] predicting that Russia will get involved here.
[01:04:59] here. >> According to the grand strategy of
[01:05:02] >> According to the grand strategy of Russia, the Russians have no choice but
[01:05:04] Russia, the Russians have no choice but to get involved because what will happen
[01:05:06] to get involved because what will happen is that if you look at this map, if Iran
[01:05:10] is that if you look at this map, if Iran were to be conquered by the Americans or
[01:05:12] were to be conquered by the Americans or the Israelis, the entire southern flank
[01:05:15] the Israelis, the entire southern flank of the Russians are now exposed
[01:05:19] of the Russians are now exposed to possible attack. And that's that's
[01:05:22] to possible attack. And that's that's something that the Russians would never
[01:05:23] something that the Russians would never allow to happen. the sovereign fact. So
[01:05:26] allow to happen. the sovereign fact. So what this from underneath
[01:05:28] what this from underneath >> basically right right but not only that
[01:05:30] >> basically right right but not only that but the Americans already have close
[01:05:33] but the Americans already have close relations with Azan
[01:05:36] relations with Azan and they already have bases in Tbkasan
[01:05:38] and they already have bases in Tbkasan as well as Ubekistan right so you can
[01:05:39] as well as Ubekistan right so you can see how once the Americans consolidate
[01:05:42] see how once the Americans consolidate this area they can now attack Russia
[01:05:44] this area they can now attack Russia from the south but what's most important
[01:05:46] from the south but what's most important is the issue of global trade where like
[01:05:50] is the issue of global trade where like a counter to America's n blockade is by
[01:05:54] a counter to America's n blockade is by creating a uranian Ian trade block that
[01:05:57] creating a uranian Ian trade block that involves Iran, Russia and China. You
[01:06:00] involves Iran, Russia and China. You look at Russia's north south corridor,
[01:06:03] look at Russia's north south corridor, right? You look at China's you look at
[01:06:06] right? You look at China's you look at Russia's north south corner, it runs
[01:06:08] Russia's north south corner, it runs through Iran. If Russia wants to access
[01:06:10] through Iran. If Russia wants to access the Middle East as well as Africa, it
[01:06:11] the Middle East as well as Africa, it has to go for Iran. You look at China's
[01:06:13] has to go for Iran. You look at China's battle road initiative, it goes through
[01:06:15] battle road initiative, it goes through Iran as well. So by taking out Iran,
[01:06:18] Iran as well. So by taking out Iran, you've blockaded both Russia and China.
[01:06:23] you've blockaded both Russia and China. 70% of people who add something to their
[01:06:25] 70% of people who add something to their online cart never actually buy it. And
[01:06:27] online cart never actually buy it. And that number is based on over 10 years of
[01:06:29] that number is based on over 10 years of research. But what I think is even more
[01:06:30] research. But what I think is even more interesting is what the Bayard Institute
[01:06:32] interesting is what the Bayard Institute discovered. They're a private research
[01:06:34] discovered. They're a private research company that ran a study which found the
[01:06:36] company that ran a study which found the average e-commerce store can increase
[01:06:38] average e-commerce store can increase its conversion rate by 35% just by
[01:06:41] its conversion rate by 35% just by making its checkout easier. Not better
[01:06:43] making its checkout easier. Not better marketing or better products, but by
[01:06:44] marketing or better products, but by delivering a smoother checkout

[01:07:23] And don't tell anybody. I run multiple companies that have multiple sales
[01:07:25] companies that have multiple sales teams. And one of the things as a
[01:07:26] teams. And one of the things as a founder of a company that's often
[01:07:27] founder of a company that's often confusing is you find it hard to figure
[01:07:29] confusing is you find it hard to figure out where sales are. So, about 10 years
[01:07:31] out where sales are. So, about 10 years ago, I started using Pipe Drive in my
[01:07:33] ago, I started using Pipe Drive in my former company. And it's also the reason
[01:07:35] former company. And it's also the reason why I switched over all of my commercial
[01:07:37] why I switched over all of my commercial teams in my current media company called
[01:07:38] teams in my current media company called Steven.com to use Pipe Drive as well.
[01:07:40] Steven.com to use Pipe Drive as well. Not only do they sponsor this show, but

[01:08:01] in real time with no delay. It doesn't magically close the deal for you, of

[01:08:21] I'll see you over there. So, when do you
[01:08:24] I'll see you over there. So, when do you think this was going to happen? If you
[01:08:25] think this was going to happen? If you get were to give me a timeline of events
[01:08:27] get were to give me a timeline of events you think are going to occur, what
[01:08:29] you think are going to occur, what timeline do you think you're operating
[01:08:30] timeline do you think you're operating under? I guess one of the factors here
[01:08:31] under? I guess one of the factors here is that Trump only has what, three years
[01:08:34] is that Trump only has what, three years left in power. So,
[01:08:38] left in power. So, you know, he's presumably going to leave
[01:08:40] you know, he's presumably going to leave power at some point soon. So, if you're
[01:08:42] power at some point soon. So, if you're Iran, you might just want to play it out
[01:08:44] Iran, you might just want to play it out and hope that there's a different
[01:08:45] and hope that there's a different leadership in place by by 20 what be
[01:08:48] leadership in place by by 20 what be 2030.
[01:08:50] 2030. >> The political leadership in Iran believe
[01:08:52] >> The political leadership in Iran believe that they can wait Trump out. So they're
[01:08:54] that they can wait Trump out. So they're waiting for the midterms because they
[01:08:56] waiting for the midterms because they believe that in November the Democrats
[01:08:58] believe that in November the Democrats will win the midterms and then they will
[01:09:00] will win the midterms and then they will impeach Trump and basically constrain
[01:09:03] impeach Trump and basically constrain his capacity to fight wars.
[01:09:06] his capacity to fight wars. And worst case scenario,
[01:09:08] And worst case scenario, Trump will be gone in 2028. As you point
[01:09:11] Trump will be gone in 2028. As you point out, there are certain problems with
[01:09:14] out, there are certain problems with this. The first major problem is the
[01:09:16] this. The first major problem is the national defense strategy, which we
[01:09:18] national defense strategy, which we looked at previously. the national
[01:09:19] looked at previously. the national defense strategy. It is a long-term
[01:09:22] defense strategy. It is a long-term strategic
[01:09:24] strategic framework for how America can control
[01:09:26] framework for how America can control the world. And so one possibility is
[01:09:30] the world. And so one possibility is that Trump is just creating enough chaos
[01:09:33] that Trump is just creating enough chaos for America to trans to transition. When
[01:09:35] for America to trans to transition. When the Democrats come to power, if they
[01:09:38] the Democrats come to power, if they come to power, they will
[01:09:39] come to power, they will institutionalize the strategy. And we
[01:09:41] institutionalize the strategy. And we know this as a possibility because in
[01:09:44] know this as a possibility because in Trump's first term, he changed America's
[01:09:48] Trump's first term, he changed America's strategy around the world. And then when
[01:09:51] strategy around the world. And then when Biden came into power, he then
[01:09:53] Biden came into power, he then institutionalized the strategy
[01:09:56] institutionalized the strategy uh via v China, right? So it was Trump
[01:09:59] uh via v China, right? So it was Trump who launched these this tariff war
[01:10:02] who launched these this tariff war against China and then finally comes in
[01:10:03] against China and then finally comes in power institutionalizes it. Right? So, I
[01:10:06] power institutionalizes it. Right? So, I think World War II, it's a much more
[01:10:09] think World War II, it's a much more long-term
[01:10:11] long-term uh war of attrition, and I don't think
[01:10:14] uh war of attrition, and I don't think that this war
[01:10:17] that this war um will end anytime soon.
[01:10:20] um will end anytime soon. >> You've made a series of new predictions.
[01:10:23] >> You've made a series of new predictions. You've made eight new predictions.
[01:10:24] You've made eight new predictions. >> Okay.
[01:10:25] >> Okay. >> And I have them in this box here.
[01:10:26] >> And I have them in this box here. >> Okay.
[01:10:28] >> Okay. >> I'll let you reveal what those
[01:10:30] >> I'll let you reveal what those predictions are.
[01:10:31] predictions are. >> Okay.
[01:10:33] >> Okay. Um this is one prediction. Okay.
[01:10:41] Okay. So, this is the most controversial
[01:10:43] Okay. So, this is the most controversial prediction. Okay. I predict that there
[01:10:45] prediction. Okay. I predict that there will be a US civil war and Trump will
[01:10:47] will be a US civil war and Trump will get a third term.
[01:10:48] get a third term. >> You think Trump will get a third term?
[01:10:51] >> You think Trump will get a third term? Isn't that constitutionally illegal?
[01:10:53] Isn't that constitutionally illegal? >> There are things that are unconventional
[01:10:56] >> There are things that are unconventional and immoral
[01:10:59] and immoral and wrong and evil and dangerous and
[01:11:02] and wrong and evil and dangerous and there are certain things that are
[01:11:04] there are certain things that are illegal.
[01:11:06] illegal. Trump getting a third term is not
[01:11:09] Trump getting a third term is not illegal. So, let me explain the
[01:11:12] illegal. So, let me explain the loophole.
[01:11:14] loophole. What Trump could do is this. Okay, there
[01:11:17] What Trump could do is this. Okay, there there are two possibilities. The first
[01:11:18] there are two possibilities. The first possibility is in 2028 he has his son
[01:11:22] possibility is in 2028 he has his son Don Jr. run as a president and he runs
[01:11:26] Don Jr. run as a president and he runs as the vice president. And then when Don
[01:11:29] as the vice president. And then when Don Jr. wins, if he wins, then Don Jr. could
[01:11:33] Jr. wins, if he wins, then Don Jr. could abdicate
[01:11:34] abdicate and Trump would be the president. And in
[01:11:38] and Trump would be the president. And in the constitution, if you read the
[01:11:39] the constitution, if you read the constitution very carefully, it doesn't
[01:11:41] constitution very carefully, it doesn't actually prohibit people from doing
[01:11:44] actually prohibit people from doing that. It's not been done in the past.
[01:11:47] that. It's not been done in the past. And like no sane person with any
[01:11:50] And like no sane person with any morality would do this.
[01:11:53] morality would do this. But that doesn't stop Trump from from
[01:11:55] But that doesn't stop Trump from from doing this. Okay, that's one
[01:11:56] doing this. Okay, that's one possibility. Another possibility is that
[01:11:59] possibility. Another possibility is that by 2028, America
[01:12:02] by 2028, America is at war with everyone. There's a
[01:12:05] is at war with everyone. There's a national draft. The president now has
[01:12:08] national draft. The president now has emergency war powers and so he can
[01:12:11] emergency war powers and so he can actually suspend the constitution and
[01:12:13] actually suspend the constitution and delay the election, which is what
[01:12:15] delay the election, which is what Zilinski did in Ukraine. So these are
[01:12:17] Zilinski did in Ukraine. So these are two different possibilities.
[01:12:20] two different possibilities. But I think that given Trump's track
[01:12:24] But I think that given Trump's track record, given his personality, I think
[01:12:28] record, given his personality, I think he very much um wants a third term. And
[01:12:32] he very much um wants a third term. And I think that he will do everything
[01:12:34] I think that he will do everything possible to get a third term.
[01:12:38] possible to get a third term. He would turn 83 years old in the same
[01:12:42] He would turn 83 years old in the same year that he finishes his second term.
[01:12:45] year that he finishes his second term. >> This is a man who eats McDonald's
[01:12:48] >> This is a man who eats McDonald's hamburgers.
[01:12:51] hamburgers. every day.
[01:12:53] every day. He doesn't really work out. Yet on the
[01:12:57] He doesn't really work out. Yet on the campaign trail, he's able to go to two
[01:13:00] campaign trail, he's able to go to two rallies a day.
[01:13:02] rallies a day. And in each rally, there's 50,000
[01:13:04] And in each rally, there's 50,000 people, and he will talk on and on and
[01:13:08] people, and he will talk on and on and on.
[01:13:09] on. Then at night when he he should be
[01:13:12] Then at night when he he should be sleeping, he's either on truth social
[01:13:16] sleeping, he's either on truth social tweeting about the world or he's calling
[01:13:18] tweeting about the world or he's calling up reporters and telling him or her some
[01:13:21] up reporters and telling him or her some confidential information that he really
[01:13:22] confidential information that he really shouldn't be discussing with the media.
[01:13:26] shouldn't be discussing with the media. This is a man who is addicted to
[01:13:30] This is a man who is addicted to attention.
[01:13:32] attention. This is a man who loves the spotlight.
[01:13:35] This is a man who loves the spotlight. He's lived all his life in the
[01:13:36] He's lived all his life in the spotlight. For him, death is to be
[01:13:42] spotlight. For him, death is to be ignored.
[01:13:43] ignored. So given his personality, he would
[01:13:46] So given his personality, he would rather die in office than live uh
[01:13:50] rather die in office than live uh peacefully somewhere else.
[01:13:52] peacefully somewhere else. >> And of those two strategies that you
[01:13:54] >> And of those two strategies that you named where he puts his son in and then
[01:13:55] named where he puts his son in and then becomes president that way or you know
[01:13:58] becomes president that way or you know there's a war breaks out so he has he
[01:14:00] there's a war breaks out so he has he says he has to stay in office. Of those
[01:14:02] says he has to stay in office. Of those two strategies, which one do you think
[01:14:04] two strategies, which one do you think he's more likely to deploy? I actually
[01:14:05] he's more likely to deploy? I actually think that given his narcissism,
[01:14:08] think that given his narcissism, he would prefer the first strategy,
[01:14:11] he would prefer the first strategy, >> his putting his son in
[01:14:12] >> his putting his son in >> because because that shows himself in
[01:14:14] >> because because that shows himself in the world that America loves him.
[01:14:18] the world that America loves him. >> Okay? And it could also be JD Vance or
[01:14:20] >> Okay? And it could also be JD Vance or someone else, right? It doesn't have to
[01:14:21] someone else, right? It doesn't have to be his son necessarily.
[01:14:22] be his son necessarily. >> Trump does not trust anyone. Trump has
[01:14:25] >> Trump does not trust anyone. Trump has never had a part on Jay. In fact,
[01:14:27] never had a part on Jay. In fact, everyone that's really worked for Trump
[01:14:29] everyone that's really worked for Trump has been kind of screwed over by him. Do
[01:14:31] has been kind of screwed over by him. Do you not think that if his son decided to
[01:14:34] you not think that if his son decided to run and then announced that the vice
[01:14:36] run and then announced that the vice president was his dad, do you not think
[01:14:39] president was his dad, do you not think that there would be such a huge backlash
[01:14:43] that there would be such a huge backlash in the United States that his son
[01:14:44] in the United States that his son wouldn't win?
[01:14:46] wouldn't win? >> Well, I think there's a possibility that
[01:14:49] >> Well, I think there's a possibility that they figure out how to cheat in 2028.
[01:14:52] they figure out how to cheat in 2028. >> Oh, as in actually cheat at the
[01:14:54] >> Oh, as in actually cheat at the election,
[01:14:55] election, >> right? So,
[01:14:56] >> right? So, >> at the poll booth,
[01:14:57] >> at the poll booth, >> right? So, let's go into Trump's mind.
[01:14:59] >> right? So, let's go into Trump's mind. All right. his his psychology. In his
[01:15:02] All right. his his psychology. In his mind, he won in 2020.
[01:15:06] mind, he won in 2020. The people voted for him, but the
[01:15:09] The people voted for him, but the Democrats
[01:15:10] Democrats stole the election with mail and ballots
[01:15:13] stole the election with mail and ballots and by rigging the election machines.
[01:15:17] and by rigging the election machines. Okay? He in his mind, he literally
[01:15:19] Okay? He in his mind, he literally believes that. So in his mind he
[01:15:21] believes that. So in his mind he believes that this is actually his third
[01:15:23] believes that this is actually his third term and the people and the government
[01:15:27] term and the people and the government they owe him a second term which is what
[01:15:30] they owe him a second term which is what he wants now. He wants uh compensation
[01:15:34] he wants now. He wants uh compensation for having the election stolen from him
[01:15:36] for having the election stolen from him in 2020.
[01:15:38] in 2020. >> I find it really um really implausible
[01:15:41] >> I find it really um really implausible to think that Trump would run would run
[01:15:43] to think that Trump would run would run for a third term.
[01:15:46] for a third term. >> So again this is a prediction.
[01:15:47] >> So again this is a prediction. >> Yeah. and it is a test of the validity
[01:15:51] >> Yeah. and it is a test of the validity of my theorical framework.
[01:15:54] of my theorical framework. >> I was looking at some of the the
[01:15:56] >> I was looking at some of the the constitutions and the laws and it says
[01:15:58] constitutions and the laws and it says that this 22nd amendment explicitly
[01:16:01] that this 22nd amendment explicitly states no person shall be elected to the
[01:16:03] states no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.
[01:16:05] office of the president more than twice. Some theorists have tried to argue that
[01:16:07] Some theorists have tried to argue that since the amendment says elected, a
[01:16:09] since the amendment says elected, a person might be able to serve a third
[01:16:11] person might be able to serve a third term if they were appointed to succeed
[01:16:13] term if they were appointed to succeed to the role.
[01:16:14] to the role. >> Exactly. if they were appointed or
[01:16:16] >> Exactly. if they were appointed or succeeded to the role, eg by being vice
[01:16:19] succeeded to the role, eg by being vice president first. Legal scholars and the
[01:16:22] president first. Legal scholars and the judicial committee almost universally
[01:16:25] judicial committee almost universally reject this. The 12th amendment requires
[01:16:27] reject this. The 12th amendment requires that anyone serving as vice president
[01:16:29] that anyone serving as vice president must be eligible to be president since a
[01:16:32] must be eligible to be president since a two-term president is ineligible to be
[01:16:34] two-term president is ineligible to be elected again. They illegally barred
[01:16:36] elected again. They illegally barred from being vice president. So the point
[01:16:39] from being vice president. So the point is the there's nothing explicit in the
[01:16:42] is the there's nothing explicit in the constitution that bars someone from
[01:16:45] constitution that bars someone from having a third term
[01:16:47] having a third term >> and there's debate in the legal
[01:16:49] >> and there's debate in the legal community about the spirit of the 22nd
[01:16:53] community about the spirit of the 22nd amendment.
[01:16:53] amendment. >> It would go to the Supreme Court, right?
[01:16:55] >> It would go to the Supreme Court, right? >> And the Supreme Court is controlled
[01:16:56] >> And the Supreme Court is controlled right now by the conservatives. Trump
[01:16:59] right now by the conservatives. Trump appointed three of the nine justices and
[01:17:02] appointed three of the nine justices and there's a possibility he gets a fourth
[01:17:04] there's a possibility he gets a fourth later in the year. So it's entirely up
[01:17:06] later in the year. So it's entirely up to the Supreme Court whether or not he
[01:17:08] to the Supreme Court whether or not he can run. And again, there's something
[01:17:11] can run. And again, there's something explicit in the constitution that
[01:17:13] explicit in the constitution that forbids him from running as a vice
[01:17:15] forbids him from running as a vice president.
[01:17:16] president. >> Okay. What's your next prediction?
[01:17:19] >> Okay. What's your next prediction? >> The my second prediction is there will
[01:17:20] >> The my second prediction is there will be a grand bargain between United States
[01:17:23] be a grand bargain between United States and China.
[01:17:23] and China. >> What does that mean?
[01:17:25] >> What does that mean? >> It means that people expect that United
[01:17:29] >> It means that people expect that United States and China will go to war at some
[01:17:31] States and China will go to war at some point over Taiwan.
[01:17:34] point over Taiwan. It mean a lot of people expect that
[01:17:36] It mean a lot of people expect that China wants to challenge American
[01:17:38] China wants to challenge American hijgemony and replace America as the
[01:17:41] hijgemony and replace America as the global superpower. But China does not
[01:17:44] global superpower. But China does not want to do that. China's perfectly happy
[01:17:48] want to do that. China's perfectly happy with America being the world's hegeimon
[01:17:51] with America being the world's hegeimon because you have to invest so much of
[01:17:53] because you have to invest so much of your resources into fighting these wars
[01:17:56] your resources into fighting these wars that bank up your nation. China doesn't
[01:17:58] that bank up your nation. China doesn't want to fight these wars.
[01:18:01] want to fight these wars. So what China is going to do is try to
[01:18:04] So what China is going to do is try to triangulate between Russia and the
[01:18:07] triangulate between Russia and the United States. This is what happened
[01:18:09] United States. This is what happened during the cold war when China was not
[01:18:11] during the cold war when China was not actually on the side of the Soviet
[01:18:12] actually on the side of the Soviet Union. China was part of the nonaligned
[01:18:16] Union. China was part of the nonaligned community
[01:18:18] community and that's what China is going to strive
[01:18:19] and that's what China is going to strive for in World War II where China may help
[01:18:23] for in World War II where China may help out Iran, may provide financing for
[01:18:25] out Iran, may provide financing for Russia, but it's also going to strike
[01:18:26] Russia, but it's also going to strike deals with the United States as well.
[01:18:29] deals with the United States as well. >> Okay. So I think that Trump and
[01:18:33] >> Okay. So I think that Trump and President C are supposed to meet at
[01:18:35] President C are supposed to meet at least three times, possibly four times
[01:18:38] least three times, possibly four times this year, only this year. The first
[01:18:40] this year, only this year. The first will be uh in midMay in Beijing. And I
[01:18:44] will be uh in midMay in Beijing. And I think that they will start a process in
[01:18:46] think that they will start a process in which China and America come to an
[01:18:49] which China and America come to an enragment that benefits both
[01:18:52] enragment that benefits both economically. What does America want?
[01:18:54] economically. What does America want? America wants China to continue to buy
[01:18:58] America wants China to continue to buy US treasuries in order to finance the
[01:19:00] US treasuries in order to finance the American debt. What does China want?
[01:19:02] American debt. What does China want? China wants energy resources from the
[01:19:06] China wants energy resources from the Western Hemisphere
[01:19:08] Western Hemisphere and it wants to access the American
[01:19:09] and it wants to access the American market.
[01:19:11] market. >> So there's no reason why China and
[01:19:14] >> So there's no reason why China and America cannot come to a an arrangement
[01:19:17] America cannot come to a an arrangement that benefits both. And Trump is very
[01:19:19] that benefits both. And Trump is very much a transactional character. And
[01:19:22] much a transactional character. And >> what will that mean for the world?
[01:19:24] >> what will that mean for the world? It means that China is not really part
[01:19:26] It means that China is not really part of World War II in a meaningful way.
[01:19:30] of World War II in a meaningful way. >> Okay. So, they're going to do a deal.
[01:19:31] >> Okay. So, they're going to do a deal. They'll continue to work together as
[01:19:32] They'll continue to work together as friends.
[01:19:33] friends. >> China will be friends with both Russia
[01:19:35] >> China will be friends with both Russia and the United States as Russia and
[01:19:37] and the United States as Russia and United States fight each other.
[01:19:38] United States fight each other. >> Okay. What's your next prediction?
[01:19:43] >> Okay. What's your next prediction? >> Iran is another forever war and the
[01:19:45] >> Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national
[01:19:47] United States will institute a national draft.
[01:19:48] draft. >> Iran is another forever war and the
[01:19:49] >> Iran is another forever war and the United States will institute a national
[01:19:51] United States will institute a national draft. So you think Iran is going to
[01:19:54] draft. So you think Iran is going to Iran as a war is going to tumble on them
[01:19:56] Iran as a war is going to tumble on them for decades and that the US are going to
[01:19:58] for decades and that the US are going to draft people which means you're obliged
[01:20:02] draft people which means you're obliged to go and fight. Exactly. Okay. So the
[01:20:06] to go and fight. Exactly. Okay. So the logic is this. America doesn't really
[01:20:08] logic is this. America doesn't really care
[01:20:10] care if Iran is a theater or not. That's not
[01:20:13] if Iran is a theater or not. That's not really part of the American grand
[01:20:14] really part of the American grand strategy. Iran right now is a perfect
[01:20:18] strategy. Iran right now is a perfect pretext for America to expand outwards
[01:20:21] pretext for America to expand outwards and establish maritime choke points
[01:20:23] and establish maritime choke points around the world and to force the world
[01:20:27] around the world and to force the world to buy American energy. So this war in
[01:20:31] to buy American energy. So this war in Iran benefits America tremendously. So
[01:20:34] Iran benefits America tremendously. So why not have it go on for a long long
[01:20:35] why not have it go on for a long long time?
[01:20:37] time? In order to make sure this war goes on
[01:20:39] In order to make sure this war goes on for a long time, you need ground troops.
[01:20:44] for a long time, you need ground troops. And you need a lot of ground troops. And
[01:20:46] And you need a lot of ground troops. And that's why you need a national draft.
[01:20:48] that's why you need a national draft. >> So what would a national draft look like
[01:20:50] >> So what would a national draft look like in the United States? Everyone between
[01:20:51] in the United States? Everyone between the age of 18 and 25 has to sign up to
[01:20:54] the age of 18 and 25 has to sign up to the army,
[01:20:54] the army, >> right? So most people don't appreciate
[01:20:56] >> right? So most people don't appreciate this, but America has always had a
[01:20:57] this, but America has always had a draft. But for the longest time, it
[01:21:00] draft. But for the longest time, it didn't really care whether or not you
[01:21:02] didn't really care whether or not you actually signed for the draft. And
[01:21:04] actually signed for the draft. And starting in December, participation in
[01:21:06] starting in December, participation in the draft will be automatic. Meaning
[01:21:08] the draft will be automatic. Meaning that if you are between 18 to 24
[01:21:11] that if you are between 18 to 24 in America and you're male, you'll be
[01:21:13] in America and you're male, you'll be automatically put into the draft system
[01:21:15] automatically put into the draft system >> from when?
[01:21:16] >> from when? >> I mean from December
[01:21:17] >> I mean from December >> this year.
[01:21:18] >> this year. >> Yes, that that is correct. Yes.
[01:21:19] >> Yes, that that is correct. Yes. >> So between the age of 18 and 25, you
[01:21:21] >> So between the age of 18 and 25, you think? But what does that what does that
[01:21:22] think? But what does that what does that really mean? I've not really experienced
[01:21:23] really mean? I've not really experienced that in my lifetime. So it means that if
[01:21:25] that in my lifetime. So it means that if you're between the age of 18 and 24,
[01:21:27] you're between the age of 18 and 24, either gender,
[01:21:28] either gender, >> no, male.
[01:21:29] >> no, male. >> Male, then you have to sign up for the
[01:21:31] >> Male, then you have to sign up for the army. No, you already put into a draft.
[01:21:35] army. No, you already put into a draft. >> Oh, you already Okay, but you might be
[01:21:37] >> Oh, you already Okay, but you might be called upon.
[01:21:38] called upon. >> That's right. It's a lottery system.
[01:21:39] >> That's right. It's a lottery system. >> Okay.
[01:21:40] >> Okay. >> Right. And uh this created a lot of
[01:21:42] >> Right. And uh this created a lot of backlash during the Vietnam era. And so
[01:21:45] backlash during the Vietnam era. And so they sort of tone it down. But starting
[01:21:48] they sort of tone it down. But starting in December, they just passed a law that
[01:21:50] in December, they just passed a law that says that starting December um you will
[01:21:52] says that starting December um you will be automatically registered for
[01:21:55] be automatically registered for >> They've passed a law.
[01:21:56] >> They've passed a law. >> Yes, they have.
[01:21:58] >> Yes, they have. >> Well, in theory, Congress first needs to
[01:22:00] >> Well, in theory, Congress first needs to declare war.
[01:22:01] declare war. >> Okay, fine. Right. That's a first step.
[01:22:03] >> Okay, fine. Right. That's a first step. And Takawa has not actually decided war
[01:22:05] And Takawa has not actually decided war yet.
[01:22:06] yet. >> Okay. So you think there'll be a draft
[01:22:07] >> Okay. So you think there'll be a draft and you think this will this war in
[01:22:09] and you think this will this war in Iran's going to trickle on for
[01:22:11] Iran's going to trickle on for >> a long time.
[01:22:12] >> a long time. >> How long? 10 20 years like Afghanistan
[01:22:14] >> How long? 10 20 years like Afghanistan or
[01:22:14] or >> I don't see it stopping.
[01:22:17] >> I don't see it stopping. >> Okay.
[01:22:17] >> Okay. >> Yeah.
[01:22:18] >> Yeah. >> What's next in your prediction box?
[01:22:20] >> What's next in your prediction box? >> Okay.
[01:22:23] >> Okay. >> Okay. This is pretty bad. The world will
[01:22:25] >> Okay. This is pretty bad. The world will move towards an AI civilian state.
[01:22:27] move towards an AI civilian state. >> I feel like that's already happening.
[01:22:29] >> I feel like that's already happening. >> I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah. What
[01:22:31] >> I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah. What does that mean in reality for the
[01:22:32] does that mean in reality for the average person? Because, you know, we're
[01:22:34] average person? Because, you know, we're seeing some of these big companies like
[01:22:36] seeing some of these big companies like Open AI and anthropical sort of signing
[01:22:38] Open AI and anthropical sort of signing up to government um military
[01:22:41] up to government um military surveillance projects. What does that
[01:22:43] surveillance projects. What does that mean for the average person?
[01:22:44] mean for the average person? >> Right? So, for the average person, it
[01:22:46] >> Right? So, for the average person, it means two things. It means digital ID
[01:22:48] means two things. It means digital ID and digital currency.
[01:22:49] and digital currency. >> Okay.
[01:22:50] >> Okay. >> So, what that what that will allow is
[01:22:51] >> So, what that what that will allow is for the government to basically monitor
[01:22:53] for the government to basically monitor everything you do online and control all
[01:22:55] everything you do online and control all financial transactions. it it can
[01:22:57] financial transactions. it it can basically program
[01:22:59] basically program your bank account so like you can't buy
[01:23:02] your bank account so like you can't buy cigarettes or you can't buy drugs. Um
[01:23:06] cigarettes or you can't buy drugs. Um and this will allow the government to
[01:23:08] and this will allow the government to basically um categorize everyone and put
[01:23:11] basically um categorize everyone and put everyone into a certain database to
[01:23:13] everyone into a certain database to monitor that person. And once you have
[01:23:16] monitor that person. And once you have once you're able to categorize everyone
[01:23:18] once you're able to categorize everyone you're allow then you are you are able
[01:23:21] you're allow then you are you are able to use AI to predict their behavior.
[01:23:23] to use AI to predict their behavior. >> Isn't this what goes on in some parts of
[01:23:25] >> Isn't this what goes on in some parts of the world? This is what goes on in
[01:23:26] the world? This is what goes on in China. And that's how I know about this.
[01:23:29] China. And that's how I know about this. >> How does it work in China?
[01:23:31] >> How does it work in China? >> Well, in China, we all have digital ID.
[01:23:34] >> Well, in China, we all have digital ID. If you want to access anything in China,
[01:23:37] If you want to access anything in China, you need your digital ID. So, if you
[01:23:39] you need your digital ID. So, if you want to open a bank account, you have to
[01:23:41] want to open a bank account, you have to you have to use um a digital ID. If you
[01:23:43] you have to use um a digital ID. If you want to use any uh e payments, you have
[01:23:46] want to use any uh e payments, you have to use digital ID. If you want to use a
[01:23:48] to use digital ID. If you want to use a phone, you have to use digital ID. Okay?
[01:23:51] phone, you have to use digital ID. Okay? So, everyone's part of this national
[01:23:53] So, everyone's part of this national database. And then this what this allows
[01:23:56] database. And then this what this allows government to do is basically monitor
[01:23:59] government to do is basically monitor everything if you do because basically
[01:24:02] everything if you do because basically depending on how you buy things I can
[01:24:04] depending on how you buy things I can then extrapolate to figure out your
[01:24:07] then extrapolate to figure out your behavior and then I can figure out your
[01:24:10] behavior and then I can figure out your thinking. Right? And then I can create
[01:24:14] thinking. Right? And then I can create incentives in order to guide and control
[01:24:18] incentives in order to guide and control your behavior.
[01:24:19] your behavior. >> So in China, can they see everything
[01:24:21] >> So in China, can they see everything that you do?
[01:24:22] that you do? >> Yes, they can. messages you send,
[01:24:25] >> Yes, they can. messages you send, >> everything,
[01:24:25] >> everything, >> payments you make,
[01:24:26] >> payments you make, >> everything, everything. Everything you
[01:24:29] >> everything, everything. Everything you do online is being recorded and it's
[01:24:33] do online is being recorded and it's being inputed into the database
[01:24:36] being inputed into the database to figure out who you are, what you
[01:24:40] to figure out who you are, what you want, and how to control you. And they
[01:24:43] want, and how to control you. And they think this is progress, by the way. This
[01:24:46] think this is progress, by the way. This is progress because I'm making you a
[01:24:49] is progress because I'm making you a better person, right? I'm helping you
[01:24:51] better person, right? I'm helping you achieve your dream. I'm helping you lose
[01:24:54] achieve your dream. I'm helping you lose weight. I'm helping you avoid drugs. I'm
[01:24:57] weight. I'm helping you avoid drugs. I'm helping you work harder.
[01:24:59] helping you work harder. >> Won't you be in trouble if you talk
[01:25:00] >> Won't you be in trouble if you talk against this system?
[01:25:03] against this system? >> Well, me personally. Okay. So, I operate
[01:25:07] >> Well, me personally. Okay. So, I operate in a gray area where I do not interact
[01:25:09] in a gray area where I do not interact with the Chinese internet. So,
[01:25:11] with the Chinese internet. So, everything I do is in English. It's
[01:25:13] everything I do is in English. It's meant for consumption in the Western
[01:25:16] meant for consumption in the Western world. And um I I don't talk to Chinese
[01:25:19] world. And um I I don't talk to Chinese reporters. I don't talk to Chinese
[01:25:21] reporters. I don't talk to Chinese social media. I have no Chinese media
[01:25:23] social media. I have no Chinese media presence and I am not at all influential
[01:25:27] presence and I am not at all influential in China and I prefer that way because
[01:25:30] in China and I prefer that way because if I ever became famous in China then
[01:25:33] if I ever became famous in China then they would obviously want to control me
[01:25:37] they would obviously want to control me in order to better influence other
[01:25:39] in order to better influence other people.
[01:25:41] people. >> What's your next prediction?
[01:25:44] >> What's your next prediction? Israel will achieve the greater Israel
[01:25:46] Israel will achieve the greater Israel project. So you think Israel are going
[01:25:48] project. So you think Israel are going to conquer the Middle East?
[01:25:51] to conquer the Middle East? Israel has essentially already conquered
[01:25:53] Israel has essentially already conquered the Middle East. The only force in their
[01:25:56] the Middle East. The only force in their way right now is America. So once
[01:25:58] way right now is America. So once America leaves the Middle East, which I
[01:26:01] America leaves the Middle East, which I expect to happen, then Israel will
[01:26:04] expect to happen, then Israel will absorb SANCOM, which is the um central
[01:26:07] absorb SANCOM, which is the um central command, the American military bases in
[01:26:10] command, the American military bases in the Middle East, and they'll achieve the
[01:26:12] the Middle East, and they'll achieve the greater Israel project. There's no other
[01:26:14] greater Israel project. There's no other power in the Middle East that can
[01:26:16] power in the Middle East that can withstand the might and power of Israel.
[01:26:20] withstand the might and power of Israel. >> And do you have a timeline for this?
[01:26:22] >> And do you have a timeline for this? >> The moment America quits this war
[01:26:24] >> The moment America quits this war against Iran, the moment that America
[01:26:27] against Iran, the moment that America leaves the Middle East, Israel will
[01:26:30] leaves the Middle East, Israel will achieve the Greater Israel Project. And
[01:26:32] achieve the Greater Israel Project. And what's really interesting right now is
[01:26:34] what's really interesting right now is that Israel is trying to drag this war
[01:26:36] that Israel is trying to drag this war out for as long as possible because they
[01:26:38] out for as long as possible because they see this war as a way to destroy all its
[01:26:42] see this war as a way to destroy all its major enemies in the um Middle East. You
[01:26:46] major enemies in the um Middle East. You know the Israelis have already said this
[01:26:49] know the Israelis have already said this after Iran Turkey is next.
[01:26:50] after Iran Turkey is next. >> Turkey
[01:26:52] >> Turkey >> Turkey is next. This war is already
[01:26:54] >> Turkey is next. This war is already destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC,
[01:26:56] destroying Saudi Arabia and the GCC, right? So the last opponent is Turkey.
[01:27:00] right? So the last opponent is Turkey. Once Turkey is brought into this war,
[01:27:04] Once Turkey is brought into this war, then
[01:27:06] then Israel will achieve the Greater Israel
[01:27:07] Israel will achieve the Greater Israel Project.
[01:27:08] Project. >> And the Greater Israel Project covers
[01:27:10] >> And the Greater Israel Project covers all of this region here from Turkey,
[01:27:12] all of this region here from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Aman.
[01:27:14] Egypt, Yemen, Aman. >> So the Greater Israel Project is like
[01:27:17] >> So the Greater Israel Project is like this. Okay, so it goes from the Nile in
[01:27:20] this. Okay, so it goes from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates and Iraq. and it
[01:27:23] Egypt to the Euphrates and Iraq. and it covers part of Turkey, of Syria, of
[01:27:27] covers part of Turkey, of Syria, of Lebanon, of Jordan and parts of Saudi
[01:27:29] Lebanon, of Jordan and parts of Saudi Arabia, which also includes Mecca
[01:27:31] Arabia, which also includes Mecca Medina.
[01:27:32] Medina. >> What is your next prediction?
[01:27:35] >> What is your next prediction? >> NATO and Russia will fight for Odessa.
[01:27:38] >> NATO and Russia will fight for Odessa. >> Adessa. What's Adessa?
[01:27:39] >> Adessa. What's Adessa? >> Okay,
[01:27:40] >> Okay, so if you look at the uh Ukraine front
[01:27:43] so if you look at the uh Ukraine front lines right now, Russia is preoccupied
[01:27:47] lines right now, Russia is preoccupied in trying to control
[01:27:49] in trying to control uh the Dawnbass, which is basically
[01:27:51] uh the Dawnbass, which is basically eastern Ukraine. Why Russia is doing
[01:27:53] eastern Ukraine. Why Russia is doing this is that eastern Ukraine has
[01:27:56] this is that eastern Ukraine has historically been part of Russia.
[01:27:58] historically been part of Russia. Therefore, most people there speak
[01:27:59] Therefore, most people there speak Russian or are are ethnically Russian.
[01:28:03] Russian or are are ethnically Russian. The Donas is also the agricultural and
[01:28:05] The Donas is also the agricultural and industrial heartland of Ukraine. So if
[01:28:09] industrial heartland of Ukraine. So if Russia were to control east eastern
[01:28:12] Russia were to control east eastern Ukraine doesn't really need western
[01:28:14] Ukraine doesn't really need western Ukraine and western Ukraine would
[01:28:16] Ukraine and western Ukraine would basically become a rum state. It'd be
[01:28:18] basically become a rum state. It'd be useless, right? So the last piece to
[01:28:20] useless, right? So the last piece to this puzzle would be Odessa which sits
[01:28:23] this puzzle would be Odessa which sits on the black sea. The reason why you
[01:28:25] on the black sea. The reason why you want Odessa is that is the major port
[01:28:31] want Odessa is that is the major port and once you control Odessa you
[01:28:33] and once you control Odessa you basically block off Ukraine from the
[01:28:36] basically block off Ukraine from the Black Sea. You have complete control
[01:28:37] Black Sea. You have complete control over the Black Sea.
[01:28:38] over the Black Sea. >> The Black Sea is that the Black Sea?
[01:28:40] >> The Black Sea is that the Black Sea? >> This is the Black Sea and this is Odessa
[01:28:41] >> This is the Black Sea and this is Odessa right here. Yes.
[01:28:42] right here. Yes. >> Okay. So you're saying that you Russia
[01:28:43] >> Okay. So you're saying that you Russia will take take Adessa.
[01:28:46] will take take Adessa. >> That's correct.
[01:28:47] >> That's correct. >> Okay. Okay. So, they'll control the
[01:28:48] >> Okay. Okay. So, they'll control the Black Sea.
[01:28:49] Black Sea. >> That's right. But NATO recognizes that
[01:28:52] >> That's right. But NATO recognizes that if Odessa falls, the Russians, the war
[01:28:54] if Odessa falls, the Russians, the war is over and Russia will have achieved
[01:28:57] is over and Russia will have achieved all its major strategic objectives.
[01:28:59] all its major strategic objectives. >> Why is the war over?
[01:29:00] >> Why is the war over? >> Because Russia doesn't want to continue
[01:29:02] >> Because Russia doesn't want to continue on after Odessa. It doesn't need of of
[01:29:06] on after Odessa. It doesn't need of of Ukraine.
[01:29:07] Ukraine. >> Why what does it get from taking Odessa?
[01:29:09] >> Why what does it get from taking Odessa? >> Once it takes Odessa, control of
[01:29:13] >> Once it takes Odessa, control of onethird of the world's carbohydrates.
[01:29:16] onethird of the world's carbohydrates. If Russia wield it, Africa would starve
[01:29:20] If Russia wield it, Africa would starve to death.
[01:29:22] to death. The Middle East would starve.
[01:29:24] The Middle East would starve. >> Why?
[01:29:25] >> Why? >> Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot
[01:29:28] >> Because Russia and Ukraine export a lot of grain to these places. These places
[01:29:30] of grain to these places. These places are not food independent. They rely on
[01:29:33] are not food independent. They rely on fertilizer. They rely on food imports.
[01:29:37] fertilizer. They rely on food imports. >> Okay. And Russia's using the the Black
[01:29:39] >> Okay. And Russia's using the the Black Sea here to export.
[01:29:41] Sea here to export. >> Exactly.
[01:29:41] >> Exactly. >> Okay. What is your next prediction?
[01:29:43] >> Okay. What is your next prediction? >> This is the last one.
[01:29:47] >> This is the last one. Please be good. Okay. I was hoping for
[01:29:50] Please be good. Okay. I was hoping for an optimistic one, but East Asia breaks
[01:29:52] an optimistic one, but East Asia breaks out into conflict.
[01:29:54] out into conflict. >> Okay. What do you mean by that?
[01:29:55] >> Okay. What do you mean by that? >> Okay. So, we've talked a lot about the
[01:29:58] >> Okay. So, we've talked a lot about the Middle East and we've talked briefly
[01:30:00] Middle East and we've talked briefly about Europe. Okay. So, now let's go
[01:30:02] about Europe. Okay. So, now let's go into East Asia and I think there are
[01:30:06] into East Asia and I think there are three major sources of friction
[01:30:11] three major sources of friction and conflict in East Asia. And these
[01:30:13] and conflict in East Asia. And these could be potentially major flash points.
[01:30:16] could be potentially major flash points. The first flash point is of course over
[01:30:20] The first flash point is of course over Taiwan because China believes that
[01:30:23] Taiwan because China believes that Taiwan
[01:30:24] Taiwan is part of its territory and so it wants
[01:30:30] is part of its territory and so it wants to take over uh Taiwan. Now the problem
[01:30:33] to take over uh Taiwan. Now the problem with this is the problem with this is
[01:30:35] with this is the problem with this is that the recently Prime Minister
[01:30:37] that the recently Prime Minister Takayachi of Japan has said that Taiwan
[01:30:42] Takayachi of Japan has said that Taiwan is core to Japanese strategic interest
[01:30:45] is core to Japanese strategic interest and what she means by this is that Japan
[01:30:50] and what she means by this is that Japan has no resources. It's a manufacturing
[01:30:52] has no resources. It's a manufacturing power that depends on resources from
[01:30:54] power that depends on resources from overseas.
[01:30:56] overseas. If China were to take over Taiwan, it
[01:30:59] If China were to take over Taiwan, it can now block Japan from accessing the
[01:31:02] can now block Japan from accessing the street of Malaca. And that is a
[01:31:04] street of Malaca. And that is a possibility Japan cannot permit. So
[01:31:07] possibility Japan cannot permit. So Japan would fight to ensure that Taiwan
[01:31:12] Japan would fight to ensure that Taiwan and China were never to unify,
[01:31:17] and China were never to unify, >> would they? Actually, because China is
[01:31:19] >> would they? Actually, because China is so strong, right? Can they just knock
[01:31:21] so strong, right? Can they just knock Japan straight out? Japan has no choice
[01:31:24] Japan straight out? Japan has no choice but to fight because again if China and
[01:31:28] but to fight because again if China and Taiwan were to unify peacefully, Japan
[01:31:31] Taiwan were to unify peacefully, Japan be cut off from the entirety of
[01:31:34] be cut off from the entirety of Southeast Asia and Japan relies on
[01:31:38] Southeast Asia and Japan relies on Southeast Asia historically for
[01:31:40] Southeast Asia historically for resources.
[01:31:42] resources. >> Why would it be cut off from Southeast
[01:31:43] >> Why would it be cut off from Southeast Asia? Can't it just go go down here
[01:31:47] Asia? Can't it just go go down here through the Philippines?
[01:31:48] through the Philippines? >> There's a lot of resources around the
[01:31:50] >> There's a lot of resources around the South China Sea. Okay.
[01:31:52] South China Sea. Okay. >> Right. Oil, minerals, all that. Yeah.
[01:31:55] >> Right. Oil, minerals, all that. Yeah. >> Um, so if China and Taiwan were to uh
[01:32:02] >> Um, so if China and Taiwan were to uh unify, basically, uh, Japan would feel a
[01:32:06] unify, basically, uh, Japan would feel a bit threatened
[01:32:08] bit threatened >> and your prediction is that there will
[01:32:09] >> and your prediction is that there will be some kind of conflict in this region.
[01:32:11] be some kind of conflict in this region. >> Yes. So, so that's the first flash
[01:32:12] >> Yes. So, so that's the first flash point. Okay. Taiwan.
[01:32:14] point. Okay. Taiwan. >> There's another flash point which is sh
[01:32:16] >> There's another flash point which is sh Malaka, right? Because again, America
[01:32:18] Malaka, right? Because again, America wants to control the sh of Malaka, but
[01:32:20] wants to control the sh of Malaka, but China recognizes that the sh of Malaa is
[01:32:22] China recognizes that the sh of Malaa is key to its economic survival and so
[01:32:26] key to its economic survival and so there's a lot of conflict over the
[01:32:28] there's a lot of conflict over the street of Mala. Okay, that's flash point
[01:32:30] street of Mala. Okay, that's flash point number two. The third flash point which
[01:32:32] number two. The third flash point which I think will be the most surprising but
[01:32:34] I think will be the most surprising but actually will be the most uh pressing is
[01:32:38] actually will be the most uh pressing is North Korea. Okay, so let's just use
[01:32:40] North Korea. Okay, so let's just use game theory. We are the leader, supreme
[01:32:44] game theory. We are the leader, supreme leader of North Korea.
[01:32:47] leader of North Korea. It is a dictatorship. Everyone worships
[01:32:49] It is a dictatorship. Everyone worships me. It's it's it's a cult personality.
[01:32:51] me. It's it's it's a cult personality. But we're poor
[01:32:54] But we're poor and the rest of the world is in
[01:32:55] and the rest of the world is in conflict, right? Europe is fighting with
[01:32:58] conflict, right? Europe is fighting with Russia. The Middle East is in flames.
[01:33:01] Russia. The Middle East is in flames. America's distracted trying to control
[01:33:03] America's distracted trying to control the world to the best of its ability.
[01:33:05] the world to the best of its ability. Japan and China are fighting over the
[01:33:07] Japan and China are fighting over the South China Sea. If you are in North
[01:33:10] South China Sea. If you are in North Korea, now is the best opportunity to
[01:33:15] Korea, now is the best opportunity to create as much havoc in the world as
[01:33:17] create as much havoc in the world as possible. There's absolutely nothing
[01:33:20] possible. There's absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop you.
[01:33:23] anyone can do to stop you. You are the brawler in high school that
[01:33:27] You are the brawler in high school that no one pays attention to, but because
[01:33:29] no one pays attention to, but because all the big boys are fighting each
[01:33:30] all the big boys are fighting each other, you can come in and dominate the
[01:33:32] other, you can come in and dominate the school. Now,
[01:33:33] school. Now, >> who would they be dominating? they could
[01:33:35] >> who would they be dominating? they could dominate South Korea because if you just
[01:33:38] dominate South Korea because if you just look at uh a population map of South
[01:33:41] look at uh a population map of South Korea, most of the South Korean
[01:33:44] Korea, most of the South Korean population is located in Seoul and Seoul
[01:33:46] population is located in Seoul and Seoul is about about 20 minutes artillery from
[01:33:50] is about about 20 minutes artillery from North Korea. So in 20 minutes
[01:33:53] North Korea. So in 20 minutes North Korea could rain artillery onto
[01:33:55] North Korea could rain artillery onto Seoul and like basically a day flatten
[01:33:57] Seoul and like basically a day flatten the entire city.
[01:33:59] the entire city. Why wouldn't you extort the South
[01:34:01] Why wouldn't you extort the South Koreans? Because the South Koreans are
[01:34:02] Koreans? Because the South Koreans are going to shoot back
[01:34:04] going to shoot back >> with what?
[01:34:04] >> with what? >> Do they not have military?
[01:34:06] >> Do they not have military? >> They're being protected by the Americans
[01:34:07] >> They're being protected by the Americans right now. And the Americans are busy
[01:34:09] right now. And the Americans are busy transporting artillery and weapon
[01:34:11] transporting artillery and weapon systems, including a fat system, over to
[01:34:14] systems, including a fat system, over to the Middle East. It's called FAD. T H A
[01:34:18] the Middle East. It's called FAD. T H A D. It used to be in South Korea to
[01:34:21] D. It used to be in South Korea to protect against North Korea, and now
[01:34:22] protect against North Korea, and now it's over in the Middle East.
[01:34:27] it's over in the Middle East. So, Americans are cannibalizing both
[01:34:29] So, Americans are cannibalizing both South Korea and Japan in order to
[01:34:31] South Korea and Japan in order to maintain this war in the Middle East.
[01:34:35] maintain this war in the Middle East. Now's the time. Why not? It's free
[01:34:37] Now's the time. Why not? It's free money. It's like taking candy from a
[01:34:39] money. It's like taking candy from a baby.
[01:34:40] baby. >> But South Korea have their own military.
[01:34:42] >> But South Korea have their own military. No. How do you fan against artillery
[01:34:45] No. How do you fan against artillery strikes?
[01:34:47] strikes? >> Uh, I don't know.
[01:34:48] >> Uh, I don't know. >> You don't. But but they they they would
[01:34:51] >> You don't. But but they they they would fire back, right? You'd get they'd get
[01:34:52] fire back, right? You'd get they'd get themselves into a pretty ugly war. South
[01:34:54] themselves into a pretty ugly war. South Korea have a have a big military.
[01:34:56] Korea have a have a big military. >> Well, my people are poor. They're not
[01:34:58] >> Well, my people are poor. They're not afraid to die. In fact, I've sent
[01:35:00] afraid to die. In fact, I've sent thousands of them to go to Ukraine to
[01:35:03] thousands of them to go to Ukraine to fight for the Russians. And they fight
[01:35:06] fight for the Russians. And they fight to the death because they're poor and
[01:35:08] to the death because they're poor and they don't fight to the death and
[01:35:10] they don't fight to the death and they're allowed to be taken prisoner.
[01:35:11] they're allowed to be taken prisoner. I'll kill their families back at home.
[01:35:14] I'll kill their families back at home. South Koreans are rich.
[01:35:18] South Koreans are rich. They are used democracy. They're used to
[01:35:20] They are used democracy. They're used to individual rights. So, if I threaten to
[01:35:23] individual rights. So, if I threaten to blow your city up, you're telling me you
[01:35:25] blow your city up, you're telling me you won't bribe me not to do so. Isn't Isn't
[01:35:28] won't bribe me not to do so. Isn't Isn't the fastest, quickest way is to bribe me
[01:35:31] the fastest, quickest way is to bribe me not to cause trouble for you?
[01:35:32] not to cause trouble for you? >> Okay. So, you think they're going to
[01:35:34] >> Okay. So, you think they're going to bribe them?
[01:35:34] bribe them? >> Extortion. This is extortion. I don't
[01:35:37] >> Extortion. This is extortion. I don't need to destroy South Korea. All I need
[01:35:39] need to destroy South Korea. All I need to do is is basically threaten the South
[01:35:42] to do is is basically threaten the South Koreans and they'll just bribe me not to
[01:35:45] Koreans and they'll just bribe me not to do anything.
[01:35:46] do anything. >> So, what does all of this stuff mean for
[01:35:48] >> So, what does all of this stuff mean for the average person? You know, people
[01:35:50] the average person? You know, people listening right now, they're just normal
[01:35:51] listening right now, they're just normal people. A lot of them, not all of them,
[01:35:53] people. A lot of them, not all of them, but a lot of them are just normal people
[01:35:54] but a lot of them are just normal people getting on with their lives and they
[01:35:56] getting on with their lives and they care about their families, their their
[01:35:57] care about their families, their their jobs, their futures. What does what what
[01:36:00] jobs, their futures. What does what what message have you got for them in this
[01:36:02] message have you got for them in this new world? We will need leaders. We will
[01:36:07] new world? We will need leaders. We will need average people
[01:36:09] need average people who are able to bring hope to people
[01:36:14] who are able to bring hope to people around them, who are able to tell their
[01:36:17] around them, who are able to tell their neighbors, their friends, we have to
[01:36:20] neighbors, their friends, we have to come together as a community and become
[01:36:23] come together as a community and become a family if we are to survive.
[01:36:28] That's what the world needs in the
[01:36:30] That's what the world needs in the future. It will need um entrepreneurial
[01:36:34] future. It will need um entrepreneurial leaders. It will need visionaries. It
[01:36:36] leaders. It will need visionaries. It will need prophets. Those who will most
[01:36:39] will need prophets. Those who will most thrive are those who make an effort to
[01:36:42] thrive are those who make an effort to reach out,
[01:36:44] reach out, knock on the door of your neighbors and
[01:36:46] knock on the door of your neighbors and say, "Listen, there's a blackout. And
[01:36:51] say, "Listen, there's a blackout. And there's probably no water. But don't
[01:36:54] there's probably no water. But don't fear because if we come together as
[01:36:57] fear because if we come together as community, if we go and knock on
[01:36:59] community, if we go and knock on everyone's doors, then everyone in this
[01:37:01] everyone's doors, then everyone in this apartment building, there might be 100
[01:37:03] apartment building, there might be 100 of us. If we just sit down and have a
[01:37:06] of us. If we just sit down and have a meeting and just discuss
[01:37:09] meeting and just discuss what's happening, one of us will come up
[01:37:12] what's happening, one of us will come up a solution and one of us will help
[01:37:15] a solution and one of us will help everyone else figure out how to find
[01:37:19] everyone else figure out how to find water or how to build a better society.
[01:37:22] water or how to build a better society. And we know this because historically
[01:37:23] And we know this because historically this has always been true. When empires
[01:37:25] this has always been true. When empires collapse, infrastructure collapses.
[01:37:28] collapse, infrastructure collapses. >> Which empire do you think is collapsing?
[01:37:30] >> Which empire do you think is collapsing? The United States empire. Uh the United
[01:37:32] The United States empire. Uh the United States empire is collapsing. Yes.
[01:37:36] States empire is collapsing. Yes. >> Uh and who is taking its place?
[01:37:38] >> Uh and who is taking its place? >> No one can take the place of the
[01:37:39] >> No one can take the place of the American empire. So we live in a
[01:37:41] American empire. So we live in a unipolar moment. And the closest
[01:37:43] unipolar moment. And the closest historical analogy to today is something
[01:37:46] historical analogy to today is something called the Bronze Age collapse.
[01:37:48] called the Bronze Age collapse. >> The bronze bronze age.
[01:37:49] >> The bronze bronze age. >> The bronze age collapse. This happened
[01:37:52] >> The bronze age collapse. This happened um about over 3,000 years ago. And what
[01:37:56] um about over 3,000 years ago. And what happened during the bronze age collapse
[01:37:58] happened during the bronze age collapse is that you have these established
[01:38:01] is that you have these established kingdoms throughout the Middle East and
[01:38:05] kingdoms throughout the Middle East and Europe. You have Mician uh Greece. You
[01:38:07] Europe. You have Mician uh Greece. You had the highite uh empire in Anatolia
[01:38:10] had the highite uh empire in Anatolia which is present day Turkey. You had uh
[01:38:13] which is present day Turkey. You had uh the Mesopotian Empire. You had the
[01:38:15] the Mesopotian Empire. You had the Egyptians.
[01:38:16] Egyptians. Um and one by one they collapsed. The
[01:38:20] Um and one by one they collapsed. The reason why was that a perfect storm of
[01:38:23] reason why was that a perfect storm of calamities came at the same time. There
[01:38:24] calamities came at the same time. There were earthquakes, there were famines,
[01:38:26] were earthquakes, there were famines, there was a climate crisis, there were
[01:38:28] there was a climate crisis, there were wars, there were civil wars, there were
[01:38:29] wars, there were civil wars, there were revolutions. And so you have this
[01:38:30] revolutions. And so you have this massive surge of refugees called the sea
[01:38:33] massive surge of refugees called the sea peoples flowing from north and uh west
[01:38:37] peoples flowing from north and uh west Europe and sweeping the entire
[01:38:41] Europe and sweeping the entire shipping food to the entire entire
[01:38:43] shipping food to the entire entire Middle East. And the reason why is they
[01:38:46] Middle East. And the reason why is they were hungry. They didn't have any food
[01:38:48] were hungry. They didn't have any food to eat. So they organized into um you
[01:38:51] to eat. So they organized into um you know these large pirate armies and they
[01:38:53] know these large pirate armies and they overwhelmed
[01:38:55] overwhelmed uh entire civilizations. And so we're
[01:38:58] uh entire civilizations. And so we're see we will see a very similar dynamic
[01:39:00] see we will see a very similar dynamic play out in the world where in the
[01:39:04] play out in the world where in the future our concern won't be wars. Our
[01:39:09] future our concern won't be wars. Our concern will be these millions of
[01:39:11] concern will be these millions of refugees who want to flood into our
[01:39:13] refugees who want to flood into our societies because they're hungry
[01:39:17] societies because they're hungry and they're going to come from Africa.
[01:39:19] and they're going to come from Africa. They're going to come from the Middle
[01:39:21] They're going to come from the Middle East. They'll probably come from South
[01:39:23] East. They'll probably come from South America as well.
[01:39:26] America as well. So, I saw your show with Steve King, by
[01:39:28] So, I saw your show with Steve King, by the way. Uh Steve Keen. Yeah.
[01:39:30] the way. Uh Steve Keen. Yeah. >> It was a great show, right? and he
[01:39:31] >> It was a great show, right? and he talked about this where look the world
[01:39:34] talked about this where look the world depends on fertilizer.
[01:39:35] depends on fertilizer. >> Mhm.
[01:39:36] >> Mhm. >> And there's 8 billion people in the
[01:39:38] >> And there's 8 billion people in the world and without fertilizers the world
[01:39:40] world and without fertilizers the world could only sustain at most two billion
[01:39:42] could only sustain at most two billion people. Well, what what are the six bill
[01:39:46] people. Well, what what are the six bill people going to do? Just starve to
[01:39:47] people going to do? Just starve to death? No. They're going to migrate and
[01:39:50] death? No. They're going to migrate and they're going to want food and this
[01:39:52] they're going to want food and this going to create a huge global crisis
[01:39:55] going to create a huge global crisis throughout the world.
[01:39:57] throughout the world. I mean, one might argue that with the
[01:39:58] I mean, one might argue that with the rise of things like AI and robotics, the
[01:40:00] rise of things like AI and robotics, the cost of production is going to drop and
[01:40:02] cost of production is going to drop and there's going to be more. You know, Elon
[01:40:04] there's going to be more. You know, Elon talks about the age of abundance and all
[01:40:06] talks about the age of abundance and all these kinds of things,
[01:40:07] these kinds of things, >> but you have to grow food out of the
[01:40:09] >> but you have to grow food out of the ground and you are using fertilizer to
[01:40:13] ground and you are using fertilizer to maximize the land's capacity to grow
[01:40:16] maximize the land's capacity to grow food. So, you know, fertilizer, you can
[01:40:18] food. So, you know, fertilizer, you can have as many robots as you want. They
[01:40:20] have as many robots as you want. They don't have to eat food. We have to eat
[01:40:21] don't have to eat food. We have to eat food.
[01:40:22] food. So what is your um you talked about
[01:40:24] So what is your um you talked about hopefulness,

[01:40:38] foremost creative and resilient and our abilities have become dormant
[01:40:40] and our abilities have become dormant because we've become too complacent.
[01:40:43] because we've become too complacent. Western lifestyle have made us um

[01:41:58] I will speak to you then.
[01:42:01] I will speak to you then. Professor, what's the most important
[01:42:02] Professor, what's the most important thing we haven't talked about that we
[01:42:03] thing we haven't talked about that we should have talked about?
[01:42:06] should have talked about? So let's talk about the nature of
[01:42:07] So let's talk about the nature of reality. To explain the nature of
[01:42:09] reality. To explain the nature of reality,
[01:42:11] reality, um I'm going to explain Plato's allego
[01:42:14] um I'm going to explain Plato's allego the cave, which he talked about in his
[01:42:16] the cave, which he talked about in his book, The Republic. Right. Exactly.
[01:42:19] book, The Republic. Right. Exactly. >> This book.
[01:42:19] >> This book. >> Yes. The Republic. Okay. One of the
[01:42:21] >> Yes. The Republic. Okay. One of the masterpieces of Greek civilization as
[01:42:23] masterpieces of Greek civilization as well as Western civilization. All right.
[01:42:25] well as Western civilization. All right. So this is how Plato explains the nature
[01:42:28] So this is how Plato explains the nature of reality. And so he uses a metaphor
[01:42:32] of reality. And so he uses a metaphor called the cave. So, I want you to
[01:42:34] called the cave. So, I want you to imagine a dark
[01:42:37] imagine a dark cavern that is huge. And in this cavern,
[01:42:42] cavern that is huge. And in this cavern, there are hundreds of people
[01:42:45] there are hundreds of people lined up together.
[01:42:49] lined up together. And they're all sitting in a row. And
[01:42:51] And they're all sitting in a row. And this goes on for, you know, miles and
[01:42:54] this goes on for, you know, miles and miles, just thousands of people. And
[01:42:57] miles, just thousands of people. And they are chained to the ground. Their
[01:43:01] they are chained to the ground. Their necks are shackled, so they can't
[01:43:03] necks are shackled, so they can't actually move. And all they can do is
[01:43:05] actually move. And all they can do is stare in front of them at a giant wall
[01:43:08] stare in front of them at a giant wall that's empty.
[01:43:11] that's empty. Okay. Now,
[01:43:13] Okay. Now, behind these people, and again, they
[01:43:16] behind these people, and again, they they can't see behind them, right? It's
[01:43:19] they can't see behind them, right? It's a great fire. Along the alongside this
[01:43:23] a great fire. Along the alongside this fire are people, okay, we don't know who
[01:43:25] fire are people, okay, we don't know who they are. Never explains who these
[01:43:27] they are. Never explains who these people are. They take puppets and they
[01:43:30] people are. They take puppets and they project these puppets off the fire onto
[01:43:34] project these puppets off the fire onto the wall.
[01:43:38] And
[01:43:41] And when people see these shadows, they
[01:43:45] when people see these shadows, they think that this is reality.
[01:43:48] think that this is reality. And as such, they begin to create
[01:43:51] And as such, they begin to create narratives
[01:43:52] narratives to explain this reality. They create
[01:43:55] to explain this reality. They create language. They give shadows names. They
[01:43:58] language. They give shadows names. They explain where these shadows come from.
[01:43:59] explain where these shadows come from. They create religion. Then these people
[01:44:02] They create religion. Then these people decide to specialize. So some people who
[01:44:05] decide to specialize. So some people who are priests who explain this new
[01:44:08] are priests who explain this new religion. There's some people who are
[01:44:09] religion. There's some people who are poets that talk about the beauty of the
[01:44:12] poets that talk about the beauty of the shadows.
[01:44:13] shadows. And then you have teachers who teach
[01:44:16] And then you have teachers who teach about the shadows to children.
[01:44:20] about the shadows to children. And then over time what happens is that
[01:44:24] And then over time what happens is that these people
[01:44:26] these people fall in love
[01:44:29] fall in love with this reality so that they are
[01:44:32] with this reality so that they are addicted to it. So if anyone comes on
[01:44:35] addicted to it. So if anyone comes on and says hey guys why don't you look
[01:44:37] and says hey guys why don't you look behind you and see it's all just a
[01:44:40] behind you and see it's all just a farce. These people will be so angry
[01:44:43] farce. These people will be so angry that they kill this person.
[01:44:46] that they kill this person. Right? So I'm not sure if you've ever
[01:44:47] Right? So I'm not sure if you've ever watched a Korean drama. Have you watched
[01:44:49] watched a Korean drama. Have you watched a Korean TV drama?
[01:44:51] a Korean TV drama? >> Not really. No.
[01:44:52] >> Not really. No. >> All right. So, unfortunately, I have.
[01:44:54] >> All right. So, unfortunately, I have. And this thing is going on for like
[01:44:56] And this thing is going on for like thousands of hours.
[01:44:58] thousands of hours. >> And for the first 10 hours, you're
[01:45:01] >> And for the first 10 hours, you're disgusted by the plot
[01:45:04] disgusted by the plot and because it makes no sense. But by
[01:45:07] and because it makes no sense. But by sometime by the 20th hour, you can't
[01:45:10] sometime by the 20th hour, you can't stop watching it.
[01:45:11] stop watching it. >> Mhm.
[01:45:12] >> Mhm. >> Right. The same situation here where
[01:45:13] >> Right. The same situation here where it's a it's a silly television drama.
[01:45:16] it's a it's a silly television drama. It's all fake. But once people watch too
[01:45:19] It's all fake. But once people watch too much of it, they want it to be true.
[01:45:23] much of it, they want it to be true. Okay? And that's the nature of reality
[01:45:25] Okay? And that's the nature of reality that we live in. All right? So certain
[01:45:27] that we live in. All right? So certain things to remember is
[01:45:29] things to remember is that what creates this reality are not
[01:45:34] that what creates this reality are not the people in charge. What creates this
[01:45:36] the people in charge. What creates this reality is our imagination.
[01:45:39] reality is our imagination. Okay. So the first thing to appreciate
[01:45:42] Okay. So the first thing to appreciate is that everything is a hallucination.
[01:45:46] is that everything is a hallucination. And this is something that nor
[01:45:47] And this is something that nor scientists have confirmed. So what we're
[01:45:49] scientists have confirmed. So what we're going to do is we're going to take
[01:45:50] going to do is we're going to take Plato's algorithm of the cave the
[01:45:52] Plato's algorithm of the cave the framework and then apply it to our
[01:45:54] framework and then apply it to our reality to understand how it's created.
[01:45:57] reality to understand how it's created. >> Okay. So
[01:46:00] >> Okay. So in the first layer you need a power a
[01:46:03] in the first layer you need a power a force to put people in change right and
[01:46:08] force to put people in change right and this is what we call the
[01:46:10] this is what we call the military-industrial complex of America
[01:46:12] military-industrial complex of America as well as the empire. So going back to
[01:46:14] as well as the empire. So going back to this example, it's the layer that puts
[01:46:17] this example, it's the layer that puts the people into change. But now the
[01:46:20] the people into change. But now the second step is you need people to create
[01:46:22] second step is you need people to create the reality to direct people's attention
[01:46:25] the reality to direct people's attention to create the game. And this these
[01:46:28] to create the game. And this these people are the financial elite, the bank
[01:46:31] people are the financial elite, the bank of international settlements based in
[01:46:33] of international settlements based in Basil.
[01:46:34] Basil. So what do they do? These people are the
[01:46:37] So what do they do? These people are the ones who set the the exchange currency
[01:46:39] ones who set the the exchange currency rates
[01:46:40] rates >> and they also allow for seamless
[01:46:44] >> and they also allow for seamless financial transactions, the swift system
[01:46:46] financial transactions, the swift system basically. Then Wall Street and the city
[01:46:50] basically. Then Wall Street and the city of London were the financiers
[01:46:54] of London were the financiers and then you have the Federal Reserve
[01:46:56] and then you have the Federal Reserve Federal Reserve system because the
[01:46:57] Federal Reserve system because the Federal Reserve are the people who print
[01:46:59] Federal Reserve are the people who print money.
[01:47:01] money. Okay.
[01:47:03] Okay. Now once you create the rules of the
[01:47:06] Now once you create the rules of the game, you need to create the game itself
[01:47:08] game, you need to create the game itself which is the global economy right global
[01:47:12] which is the global economy right global economy and obviously this is a pretty
[01:47:15] economy and obviously this is a pretty vast system that encompasses everything.
[01:47:18] vast system that encompasses everything. Okay.
[01:47:20] Okay. Now you have to explain to people how
[01:47:22] Now you have to explain to people how the global economy works and you cannot
[01:47:24] the global economy works and you cannot tell people oh really there are these
[01:47:26] tell people oh really there are these secret people working behind the scenes
[01:47:29] secret people working behind the scenes that are projecting shadows onto a wall.
[01:47:31] that are projecting shadows onto a wall. So what you do is you create
[01:47:33] So what you do is you create multilateral organizations that pretend
[01:47:36] multilateral organizations that pretend to control the global economy and they
[01:47:39] to control the global economy and they are the World Bank, the United Nations,
[01:47:41] are the World Bank, the United Nations, WTO. You make them believe that this is
[01:47:45] WTO. You make them believe that this is all being controlled impartially for our
[01:47:49] all being controlled impartially for our benefit.
[01:47:52] Now you have to convince people that
[01:47:54] Now you have to convince people that this system is legitimate. That when
[01:47:58] this system is legitimate. That when you're actually seeing the shadows on
[01:47:59] you're actually seeing the shadows on the wall, they're real. That's why you
[01:48:01] the wall, they're real. That's why you need the media. That's why you need
[01:48:06] need the media. That's why you need culture such as Hollywood movies
[01:48:07] culture such as Hollywood movies basically and you need education school
[01:48:11] basically and you need education school system. Okay, these are the people who
[01:48:14] system. Okay, these are the people who are all prisoners who have become
[01:48:16] are all prisoners who have become leaders of the prisoners and who are
[01:48:19] leaders of the prisoners and who are helping them understand the shadows on
[01:48:21] helping them understand the shadows on the wall.
[01:48:22] the wall. >> So am I in the media?
[01:48:24] >> So am I in the media? >> Yes, you are.
[01:48:24] >> Yes, you are. >> Am I?
[01:48:25] >> Am I? >> Yes.
[01:48:25] >> Yes. >> So am I what am I doing? Am I one of the
[01:48:27] >> So am I what am I doing? Am I one of the people in the fire controlling the
[01:48:29] people in the fire controlling the narrative? Is that what?
[01:48:30] narrative? Is that what? >> Yes. Yes.
[01:48:31] >> Yes. Yes. >> But but I'm not owned by anybody.
[01:48:34] >> But but I'm not owned by anybody. >> That's what you think.
[01:48:35] >> That's what you think. >> Oh, really? Who who am I owned by?
[01:48:38] >> Oh, really? Who who am I owned by? >> Ultimately, it's the people who control
[01:48:40] >> Ultimately, it's the people who control the fire that are in charge, right? So,
[01:48:43] the fire that are in charge, right? So, ultimately, it's these people, the
[01:48:44] ultimately, it's these people, the second layer.
[01:48:45] second layer. >> Okay.
[01:48:45] >> Okay. >> The game masters, the financial elite
[01:48:47] >> The game masters, the financial elite that control everything.
[01:48:49] that control everything. >> And the financial elite again are like
[01:48:50] >> And the financial elite again are like the World Bank, you said.
[01:48:52] the World Bank, you said. >> No. No. The financial elite are these
[01:48:54] >> No. No. The financial elite are these private bankers.
[01:48:56] private bankers. >> Okay. So, are the private bankers
[01:48:57] >> Okay. So, are the private bankers controlling me? Cuz you said I was in
[01:48:59] controlling me? Cuz you said I was in the media.
[01:49:00] the media. >> Do you want to make money?
[01:49:01] >> Do you want to make money? >> Yeah.
[01:49:02] >> Yeah. >> Then they're controlling you.
[01:49:03] >> Then they're controlling you. >> Okay.
[01:49:03] >> Okay. >> Right.
[01:49:04] >> Right. >> How are they controlling me?
[01:49:06] >> How are they controlling me? >> Because they control the creation of
[01:49:08] >> Because they control the creation of money. And so
[01:49:11] money. And so now that you have the media, the schools
[01:49:15] now that you have the media, the schools and the cultural systems helping people
[01:49:18] and the cultural systems helping people understand the shadows on the wall.
[01:49:20] understand the shadows on the wall. These shadows now become internalized
[01:49:24] These shadows now become internalized and they dictate the values and norms of
[01:49:27] and they dictate the values and norms of people, what they believe to be good and
[01:49:29] people, what they believe to be good and bad. They dictate habits and customs,
[01:49:32] bad. They dictate habits and customs, how you live your life, and they dictate
[01:49:35] how you live your life, and they dictate the legal system, who's punished for
[01:49:38] the legal system, who's punished for what. Okay? And this becomes a top
[01:49:41] what. Okay? And this becomes a top edifice. And what's amazing about the
[01:49:43] edifice. And what's amazing about the system is that in our minds, okay, in
[01:49:47] system is that in our minds, okay, in our minds, we believe that the system is
[01:49:50] our minds, we believe that the system is first of all the complete opposite where
[01:49:53] first of all the complete opposite where un where the foundation is actually the
[01:49:57] un where the foundation is actually the laws, the habits and the values when in
[01:50:00] laws, the habits and the values when in fact in reality these are just figments
[01:50:03] fact in reality these are just figments of our imagination. Okay, that's point
[01:50:05] of our imagination. Okay, that's point one. Point two is that this is a very
[01:50:09] one. Point two is that this is a very very delicate structure. So if anyone
[01:50:12] very delicate structure. So if anyone doesn't cooperate okay then this is this
[01:50:14] doesn't cooperate okay then this is this NFS collapses because it's a very very
[01:50:17] NFS collapses because it's a very very delicate system okay and the third thing
[01:50:20] delicate system okay and the third thing and this is most important to understand
[01:50:21] and this is most important to understand the world that we live in as the system
[01:50:23] the world that we live in as the system becomes much more wobbly meaning that
[01:50:25] becomes much more wobbly meaning that young people don't really believe in the
[01:50:28] young people don't really believe in the shadows anymore. Young people grow up
[01:50:30] shadows anymore. Young people grow up and says hm are these shadows really
[01:50:32] and says hm are these shadows really real? They don't feel real to me. The
[01:50:35] real? They don't feel real to me. The system needs to become much more
[01:50:37] system needs to become much more authoritarian.
[01:50:39] authoritarian. It needs to force people to believe what
[01:50:41] It needs to force people to believe what they refuse to believe because everyone
[01:50:45] they refuse to believe because everyone in a system is incentivized to ensure
[01:50:48] in a system is incentivized to ensure this edifice is stable.
[01:50:50] this edifice is stable. >> Do you think this is somewhat linked to
[01:50:52] >> Do you think this is somewhat linked to what's going on with independent media?
[01:50:54] what's going on with independent media? >> Exactly.
[01:50:55] >> Exactly. >> Because independent media are asking a
[01:50:56] >> Because independent media are asking a lot of questions about the way society
[01:50:58] lot of questions about the way society functions.
[01:50:59] functions. >> Exactly. And that's why we're seeing
[01:51:02] >> Exactly. And that's why we're seeing governments becoming very worried about
[01:51:04] governments becoming very worried about independent media because if you have
[01:51:07] independent media because if you have people on the population saying these
[01:51:09] people on the population saying these these shadows are fake, this creates a
[01:51:11] these shadows are fake, this creates a ripple effect. It causes uh people to
[01:51:14] ripple effect. It causes uh people to start questioning the shadows on the
[01:51:16] start questioning the shadows on the wall. You can't have that. So that's why
[01:51:18] wall. You can't have that. So that's why it's important to have censorship.
[01:51:20] it's important to have censorship. That's why it's important to deplatform
[01:51:21] That's why it's important to deplatform people. That's why you have woke
[01:51:23] people. That's why you have woke politics, DEI, because it's an
[01:51:25] politics, DEI, because it's an enforcement mechanism.
[01:51:28] enforcement mechanism. >> Yeah. I mean, it is pretty hard. You
[01:51:29] >> Yeah. I mean, it is pretty hard. You know, it's pretty it's not easy being a
[01:51:31] know, it's pretty it's not easy being a uh an independent podcaster if you have
[01:51:33] uh an independent podcaster if you have a big platform cuz you're not always the
[01:51:36] a big platform cuz you're not always the most loved by the mainstream media
[01:51:38] most loved by the mainstream media >> and they'll figure out how to eventually
[01:51:40] >> and they'll figure out how to eventually >> But I think that's I think that's very
[01:51:41] >> But I think that's I think that's very human actually. I think I think the
[01:51:43] human actually. I think I think the incentives are quite understandable from
[01:51:45] incentives are quite understandable from a human perspective.
[01:51:47] a human perspective. >> Look, if you look at the system, no
[01:51:49] >> Look, if you look at the system, no one's really in charge and no one's a
[01:51:51] one's really in charge and no one's a villain.
[01:51:53] villain. They just grow up in the system
[01:51:55] They just grow up in the system >> and everyone's protecting their
[01:51:56] >> and everyone's protecting their incentives.
[01:51:56] incentives. >> Exactly. That's kind of what I mean. I'm
[01:51:58] >> Exactly. That's kind of what I mean. I'm like, yeah, human nature is to protect
[01:52:00] like, yeah, human nature is to protect one's incentives. And you know, the
[01:52:02] one's incentives. And you know, the media didn't like Mark Zuckerberg and
[01:52:03] media didn't like Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook because 80% of 70 80% of ad
[01:52:06] Facebook because 80% of 70 80% of ad revenue went to Google and Facebook. So,
[01:52:08] revenue went to Google and Facebook. So, they had a bit of a war. So, I kind of
[01:52:10] they had a bit of a war. So, I kind of get it. People are trying to protect
[01:52:11] get it. People are trying to protect what's theirs and disruption causes
[01:52:14] what's theirs and disruption causes people to, I guess, panic a little bit.
[01:52:15] people to, I guess, panic a little bit. But, makes sense.
[01:52:17] But, makes sense. >> But the problem is that over time more
[01:52:22] >> But the problem is that over time more and more young people are going to grow
[01:52:23] and more young people are going to grow up and say, "I don't see shadows. I'm
[01:52:27] up and say, "I don't see shadows. I'm pretty sure we're being lied to. In
[01:52:30] pretty sure we're being lied to. In which case, this presents an opportunity
[01:52:33] which case, this presents an opportunity to overthrow the system and create a new
[01:52:36] to overthrow the system and create a new system.
[01:52:37] system. And this is why AI is important.
[01:52:42] And this is why AI is important. But we we we currently believe this one.
[01:52:44] But we we we currently believe this one. We currently believe in this structure.
[01:52:45] We currently believe in this structure. It's almost it's really difficult I
[01:52:47] It's almost it's really difficult I think for the average person listening
[01:52:48] think for the average person listening now to accept the fact that they have
[01:52:50] now to accept the fact that they have believed a bunch of fundamental ideas
[01:52:53] believed a bunch of fundamental ideas and stories that everything they care
[01:52:56] and stories that everything they care about is sat upon. But I mean you only
[01:52:58] about is sat upon. But I mean you only if you read the book sapiens and
[01:52:59] if you read the book sapiens and understood that humans got here because
[01:53:00] understood that humans got here because we had a remarkable ability to believe
[01:53:02] we had a remarkable ability to believe in stories that maybe the orangutang
[01:53:05] in stories that maybe the orangutang could not believe. It couldn't believe
[01:53:06] could not believe. It couldn't believe in money and governments and religions
[01:53:08] in money and governments and religions and all these kinds of things. It makes
[01:53:10] and all these kinds of things. It makes perfect sense that yeah, there's really
[01:53:12] perfect sense that yeah, there's really foundational stories we are accepting
[01:53:14] foundational stories we are accepting and that's what's brought us here today.
[01:53:16] and that's what's brought us here today. That's what keeps me from running out on
[01:53:17] That's what keeps me from running out on the street without my clothes on or
[01:53:19] the street without my clothes on or doing other illicit activities is I'm
[01:53:21] doing other illicit activities is I'm held in place by a set of stories um
[01:53:24] held in place by a set of stories um that I've accepted and they are stacked
[01:53:26] that I've accepted and they are stacked one upon the other to make me believe
[01:53:28] one upon the other to make me believe that everything I'm seeing and accepting
[01:53:30] that everything I'm seeing and accepting is valid. But
[01:53:33] is valid. But >> you know, I guess the question becomes,
[01:53:34] >> you know, I guess the question becomes, am I okay with this reality?
[01:53:37] am I okay with this reality? And what's stopping us from creating our
[01:53:39] And what's stopping us from creating our own reality that benefits everyone?
[01:53:41] own reality that benefits everyone? >> Is that possible?
[01:53:43] >> Is that possible? >> Well, in theory, it's possible, but as
[01:53:45] >> Well, in theory, it's possible, but as you point out, there are certain people
[01:53:48] you point out, there are certain people who are happy with the system and want
[01:53:51] who are happy with the system and want to maintain the system. And that's why
[01:53:53] to maintain the system. And that's why we're going to wars around the world
[01:53:55] we're going to wars around the world because it's not just a war between
[01:53:58] because it's not just a war between different nation states. It's also a war
[01:54:01] different nation states. It's also a war for the fundamental nature of reality.
[01:54:04] for the fundamental nature of reality. You have the bankers versus the tech
[01:54:07] You have the bankers versus the tech broles, right? That's what we're seeing
[01:54:09] broles, right? That's what we're seeing in the world right now
[01:54:11] in the world right now where for the longest time, Wall Street
[01:54:14] where for the longest time, Wall Street has controlled America. But now with the
[01:54:16] has controlled America. But now with the with the Trump revolution, you have
[01:54:18] with the Trump revolution, you have Palunteer, you have people like Larry
[01:54:21] Palunteer, you have people like Larry Ellison, Peter Theo, uh Sen Alman who
[01:54:25] Ellison, Peter Theo, uh Sen Alman who want to create Operation Stargate, which
[01:54:27] want to create Operation Stargate, which gives them complete control over
[01:54:30] gives them complete control over people's imagination. You can knock it
[01:54:33] people's imagination. You can knock it over now.
[01:54:34] over now. >> Okay.
[01:54:36] >> Okay. And everything will come down eventually
[01:54:40] And everything will come down eventually because that is just the fundamental
[01:54:43] because that is just the fundamental fact of human history. Everything no
[01:54:46] fact of human history. Everything no matter how stable it seems in the
[01:54:48] matter how stable it seems in the beginning, it all comes crashing down
[01:54:50] beginning, it all comes crashing down eventually.
[01:54:51] eventually. >> Eventually.
[01:54:52] >> Eventually. >> Eventually.
[01:54:52] >> Eventually. >> Cyclic. Cycllically.
[01:54:55] >> Cyclic. Cycllically. >> Yes.
[01:54:56] >> Yes. Ray Dalio talks about the cycles through
[01:54:58] Ray Dalio talks about the cycles through history and how sort of predictable they
[01:55:01] history and how sort of predictable they are and how frequent they are. Is there
[01:55:03] are and how frequent they are. Is there a frequency to the rise and fall of
[01:55:05] a frequency to the rise and fall of these I guess perceived realities or
[01:55:08] these I guess perceived realities or empires as he calls it?
[01:55:10] empires as he calls it? >> Yeah. So they say empires last around
[01:55:12] >> Yeah. So they say empires last around 200 years. And so we are now in the
[01:55:16] 200 years. And so we are now in the twilight of the American empire. And
[01:55:18] twilight of the American empire. And what we know is that when empires
[01:55:20] what we know is that when empires decline, it's always for the same
[01:55:22] decline, it's always for the same reasons.
[01:55:24] reasons. And um it's always because of too much
[01:55:28] And um it's always because of too much debt, too much corruption, too much
[01:55:31] debt, too much corruption, too much inequality. And we're seeing that in
[01:55:32] inequality. And we're seeing that in America today. And the other thing that
[01:55:35] America today. And the other thing that we know is you can't actually stop the
[01:55:37] we know is you can't actually stop the decline of empires. So Oswwell Spangler
[01:55:41] decline of empires. So Oswwell Spangler uh who is a German uh theoretician, he
[01:55:44] uh who is a German uh theoretician, he argues that we are human beings and we
[01:55:48] argues that we are human beings and we have natural life cycles because we're
[01:55:49] have natural life cycles because we're organisms. Well, societies are the same
[01:55:52] organisms. Well, societies are the same way where empires they will be born,
[01:55:56] way where empires they will be born, they'll rise, they'll die. And it's and
[01:55:59] they'll rise, they'll die. And it's and it's a good thing because that's what
[01:56:01] it's a good thing because that's what allows for constant human innovation.
[01:56:04] allows for constant human innovation. >> Do you think that will happen in my
[01:56:05] >> Do you think that will happen in my lifetime? I'm 30 years old, 33 years
[01:56:07] lifetime? I'm 30 years old, 33 years old. It may happen in everyone's
[01:56:09] old. It may happen in everyone's lifetime. It may happen in the next 5 to
[01:56:11] lifetime. It may happen in the next 5 to 10 years. We are we are seeing.
[01:56:13] 10 years. We are we are seeing. >> Do you think that's going to happen in
[01:56:14] >> Do you think that's going to happen in the next 5 or 10 years?
[01:56:15] the next 5 or 10 years? >> I think there's a very strong
[01:56:16] >> I think there's a very strong possibility that the American empire
[01:56:18] possibility that the American empire will collapse in the next 5 to 10 years
[01:56:20] will collapse in the next 5 to 10 years because it is overstretched. It's in too
[01:56:23] because it is overstretched. It's in too much debt and it is really angering the
[01:56:26] much debt and it is really angering the entire world. It's basically unifying
[01:56:27] entire world. It's basically unifying the entire world against it right now.
[01:56:29] the entire world against it right now. >> And if that is to be the case, what
[01:56:31] >> And if that is to be the case, what would you give me as advice as a
[01:56:33] would you give me as advice as a 33-year-old? what what actions should I
[01:56:35] 33-year-old? what what actions should I be thinking about taking now based on
[01:56:37] be thinking about taking now based on what you know about history to make sure
[01:56:39] what you know about history to make sure that you know it's not too bad for
[01:56:41] that you know it's not too bad for myself. I guess I'm asking this question
[01:56:43] myself. I guess I'm asking this question in light of you predicting that there
[01:56:45] in light of you predicting that there might be a collapse of the sort of
[01:56:47] might be a collapse of the sort of western or the American empire
[01:56:51] western or the American empire and in such a scenario I was wondering
[01:56:52] and in such a scenario I was wondering what what what it would look like to be
[01:56:54] what what what it would look like to be an American and is there a a solution or
[01:56:58] an American and is there a a solution or a course of behavior one should take in
[01:56:59] a course of behavior one should take in such a scenario but what I guess that's
[01:57:01] such a scenario but what I guess that's the key question which is if the US
[01:57:03] the key question which is if the US empire does collapse how does American
[01:57:05] empire does collapse how does American life change or western life change
[01:57:07] life change or western life change >> okay so one theory that's very important
[01:57:10] >> okay so one theory that's very important to understand is something called
[01:57:13] to understand is something called hermetic philosophy and heretic
[01:57:14] hermetic philosophy and heretic philosophy is what underpins
[01:57:17] philosophy is what underpins um Plato's eye of the cave.
[01:57:19] um Plato's eye of the cave. >> Mhm.
[01:57:20] >> Mhm. >> And heretic philosophy comes from Egypt
[01:57:23] >> And heretic philosophy comes from Egypt and it has certain principles but his
[01:57:25] and it has certain principles but his main principle is that reality is
[01:57:28] main principle is that reality is energy. It's vibrations. Okay. So we
[01:57:31] energy. It's vibrations. Okay. So we think of it as material when material is
[01:57:34] think of it as material when material is a consequence of energy.
[01:57:37] a consequence of energy. >> Right? So what this means is that
[01:57:40] >> Right? So what this means is that reality is consciousness itself.
[01:57:44] reality is consciousness itself. >> So our thoughts are what's real. Our
[01:57:48] >> So our thoughts are what's real. Our bodies are just vehicles to to
[01:57:52] bodies are just vehicles to to experience the world around us. But
[01:57:54] experience the world around us. But they're not real. When we die, our souls
[01:57:56] they're not real. When we die, our souls return to the source and we come back
[01:57:59] return to the source and we come back again. And we are here permanently in
[01:58:01] again. And we are here permanently in order to experience things we cannot
[01:58:03] order to experience things we cannot experience in the spiritual world
[01:58:04] experience in the spiritual world because in the spiritual world it's not
[01:58:06] because in the spiritual world it's not material.
[01:58:08] material. So what's really important is to
[01:58:11] So what's really important is to appreciate that
[01:58:14] appreciate that every one of us is part of the source.
[01:58:16] every one of us is part of the source. And so if we think about the totality of
[01:58:20] And so if we think about the totality of things, we can only become despondent,
[01:58:22] things, we can only become despondent, we can only give up hope. But if we
[01:58:25] we can only give up hope. But if we think about how individually
[01:58:28] think about how individually we can become a better person and how we
[01:58:31] we can become a better person and how we can impact the people around us, then
[01:58:34] can impact the people around us, then that becomes reflected
[01:58:37] that becomes reflected onto the reality itself because we're
[01:58:40] onto the reality itself because we're just part of God itself. Right? So the
[01:58:42] just part of God itself. Right? So the idea is as above so below.
[01:58:46] idea is as above so below. As below so above meaning that we are
[01:58:48] As below so above meaning that we are each and every one of us fractals of
[01:58:51] each and every one of us fractals of God. So if we choose to be a good
[01:58:53] God. So if we choose to be a good person,
[01:58:55] person, this makes the world a better place. If
[01:58:57] this makes the world a better place. If we choose to be a bad person, it also
[01:58:59] we choose to be a bad person, it also makes the world a worse place. So it's
[01:59:01] makes the world a worse place. So it's not really about how can I stop these
[01:59:03] not really about how can I stop these wars from happening because you cannot.
[01:59:05] wars from happening because you cannot. It's not really about where can I put my
[01:59:07] It's not really about where can I put my money to make generate more income
[01:59:08] money to make generate more income because that because that's not going to
[01:59:10] because that because that's not going to happen. It's really about how do I
[01:59:14] happen. It's really about how do I live my life to the fullest? How do I
[01:59:18] live my life to the fullest? How do I become a much more creative individual
[01:59:20] become a much more creative individual that brings goodness to the people
[01:59:22] that brings goodness to the people around me? If you do that, you're
[01:59:25] around me? If you do that, you're changing the world every day for the
[01:59:28] changing the world every day for the better.
[01:59:32] That's a nice message.
[01:59:35] That's a nice message. That's a very nice message. And I agree.
[01:59:37] That's a very nice message. And I agree. And I It's really interesting. I've
[01:59:38] And I It's really interesting. I've spoken to a couple of physicists now who
[01:59:40] spoken to a couple of physicists now who say similar things regarding um about
[01:59:43] say similar things regarding um about consciousness and it really has stuck
[01:59:44] consciousness and it really has stuck with me. A lot of things people say, you
[01:59:46] with me. A lot of things people say, you know, sometimes because I I learn so
[01:59:48] know, sometimes because I I learn so much doing this that I forget them. But
[01:59:50] much doing this that I forget them. But this idea that um that we're all part of
[01:59:52] this idea that um that we're all part of the same consciousness and that I think
[01:59:54] the same consciousness and that I think someone said to me, a physicist said to
[01:59:56] someone said to me, a physicist said to me that um it's almost like
[01:59:58] me that um it's almost like consciousness divided into lots of
[02:00:00] consciousness divided into lots of little pieces so that
[02:00:00] little pieces so that >> that's right. Fractals.
[02:00:01] >> that's right. Fractals. >> Fractals. So that it could it could
[02:00:03] >> Fractals. So that it could it could experience the world or view the world.
[02:00:05] experience the world or view the world. >> Exactly.
[02:00:05] >> Exactly. >> And I found that to be a really
[02:00:06] >> And I found that to be a really compelling idea. Weirdly, I was thinking
[02:00:08] compelling idea. Weirdly, I was thinking about this the other I was in a European
[02:00:10] about this the other I was in a European country and I was I was driving in a
[02:00:12] country and I was I was driving in a taxi and I looked out the window and you
[02:00:14] taxi and I looked out the window and you had all of these like tourists just
[02:00:16] had all of these like tourists just stood at the edge of the water all just
[02:00:17] stood at the edge of the water all just like looking up and looking around and I
[02:00:19] like looking up and looking around and I just for a second thought of it thought
[02:00:21] just for a second thought of it thought of them as like little p pieces of
[02:00:22] of them as like little p pieces of consciousness exploring the world cuz
[02:00:24] consciousness exploring the world cuz they were like looking up and looking
[02:00:25] they were like looking up and looking around and looking at mountains and
[02:00:26] around and looking at mountains and looking at the ocean and looking at the
[02:00:27] looking at the ocean and looking at the floor and it it dawned on me for a
[02:00:29] floor and it it dawned on me for a second that that might just be
[02:00:30] second that that might just be consciousness is manifestation um for
[02:00:34] consciousness is manifestation um for sort of I guess exploration
[02:00:37] sort of I guess exploration which is a really interesting idea. I
[02:00:38] which is a really interesting idea. I don't necessarily know what it means,
[02:00:39] don't necessarily know what it means, but it does create a little lot of
[02:00:40] but it does create a little lot of empathy.
[02:00:41] empathy. >> So, so one one area that you might want
[02:00:43] >> So, so one one area that you might want to explore is the cabala.
[02:00:44] to explore is the cabala. >> So, what how's this what what's this
[02:00:46] >> So, what how's this what what's this cabala thing,
[02:00:47] cabala thing, >> right? It's what they call the tree of
[02:00:48] >> right? It's what they call the tree of life. And in the tree of life, it's it's
[02:00:51] life. And in the tree of life, it's it's what I'm trying to say is that it's
[02:00:52] what I'm trying to say is that it's certain dynamic in the world that
[02:00:54] certain dynamic in the world that governs all human affairs. And this
[02:00:56] governs all human affairs. And this dynamic is thesis, antithesis,
[02:00:59] dynamic is thesis, antithesis, synthesis. So, God is the will to bestow
[02:01:03] synthesis. So, God is the will to bestow creates Adam Canmon who is the will to
[02:01:06] creates Adam Canmon who is the will to receive. And then Kmon has to abandon
[02:01:08] receive. And then Kmon has to abandon God. That's thus destroying the world.
[02:01:11] God. That's thus destroying the world. But eventually because the world is
[02:01:12] But eventually because the world is destroyed and Enmlan and his and his
[02:01:14] destroyed and Enmlan and his and his descendants us recognize the father of
[02:01:16] descendants us recognize the father of our ways and beg God for forgiveness.
[02:01:19] our ways and beg God for forgiveness. And this will redeem the world, repair
[02:01:22] And this will redeem the world, repair the world. And if you think about it,
[02:01:25] the world. And if you think about it, okay, this is what underpins a lot of
[02:01:29] okay, this is what underpins a lot of actions that is happening in the Middle
[02:01:32] actions that is happening in the Middle East where the Israelis are doing what
[02:01:34] East where the Israelis are doing what they're doing because they're trying to
[02:01:37] they're doing because they're trying to force the hand of God. Meaning that,
[02:01:40] force the hand of God. Meaning that, okay, if Israel is committing all these
[02:01:43] okay, if Israel is committing all these atrocities in the Middle East, it's
[02:01:45] atrocities in the Middle East, it's committing all these wars, eventually
[02:01:48] committing all these wars, eventually the world will have to punish the
[02:01:50] the world will have to punish the Israel, the Israelites, right? There'll
[02:01:52] Israel, the Israelites, right? There'll be war between the world and Israel and
[02:01:55] be war between the world and Israel and Israel will be humbled. But once Israel
[02:01:58] Israel will be humbled. But once Israel is humbled,
[02:01:59] is humbled, everyone in Israel recognize the folly
[02:02:04] everyone in Israel recognize the folly of his or her arrogance, hubris, and
[02:02:08] of his or her arrogance, hubris, and then will beg God for forgiveness. And
[02:02:11] then will beg God for forgiveness. And once that that moment happens, when all
[02:02:14] once that that moment happens, when all people in Israel at the same time beg
[02:02:17] people in Israel at the same time beg God for deliverance and for forgiveness,
[02:02:20] God for deliverance and for forgiveness, the world will end.
[02:02:22] the world will end. and will return to paradise. That's
[02:02:25] and will return to paradise. That's literally what they believe.
[02:02:30] Fascinating.
[02:02:32] Fascinating. >> We're going to have to stop there,
[02:02:34] >> We're going to have to stop there, professor. Okay. Um, we have a closing
[02:02:35] professor. Okay. Um, we have a closing tradition where the last guest leaves a
[02:02:36] tradition where the last guest leaves a question for the next guest, not knowing
[02:02:37] question for the next guest, not knowing who they're leaving it for. And the
[02:02:39] who they're leaving it for. And the question left for you is, who will you
[02:02:41] question left for you is, who will you miss the most and why?
[02:02:44] miss the most and why? Well, I will miss my wife the most
[02:02:49] Well, I will miss my wife the most because I met my wife about 10 years ago
[02:02:52] because I met my wife about 10 years ago and this was a time in my life when I
[02:02:54] and this was a time in my life when I had and when I had I had hit rock
[02:02:56] had and when I had I had hit rock bottom. Um I went to Yale and so I have
[02:03:00] bottom. Um I went to Yale and so I have a very um elevated sense of myself and
[02:03:04] a very um elevated sense of myself and my abilities. And so I went into the
[02:03:06] my abilities. And so I went into the world thinking that I would conquer it.
[02:03:09] world thinking that I would conquer it. And after decades of failure,
[02:03:12] And after decades of failure, um I
[02:03:14] um I basically became very depressed.
[02:03:16] basically became very depressed. >> Failure?
[02:03:17] >> Failure? >> Yes. I meaning I didn't have a job,
[02:03:19] >> Yes. I meaning I didn't have a job, meaning I didn't have much income,
[02:03:22] meaning I didn't have much income, meaning I didn't have much hope in my
[02:03:24] meaning I didn't have much hope in my life. And so I was working as a teacher
[02:03:27] life. And so I was working as a teacher and then for a mutual acquaintance I met
[02:03:29] and then for a mutual acquaintance I met my wife and
[02:03:32] my wife and I think that it was because I became so
[02:03:36] I think that it was because I became so depressed that my heart I begged for
[02:03:41] depressed that my heart I begged for relief. I begged God even though I don't
[02:03:44] relief. I begged God even though I don't believe in God for salvation and
[02:03:46] believe in God for salvation and redemption. And my wife came as an
[02:03:50] redemption. And my wife came as an angel. And what she did that no one else
[02:03:52] angel. And what she did that no one else did before was she loved me
[02:03:56] did before was she loved me unconditionally.
[02:03:57] unconditionally. She was kind to me. She told me to
[02:04:02] She was kind to me. She told me to believe in myself.
[02:04:04] believe in myself. And she proved it by making the ultimate
[02:04:07] And she proved it by making the ultimate sacrifice and having a child with me.
[02:04:10] sacrifice and having a child with me. Right? It's one thing to for someone to
[02:04:12] Right? It's one thing to for someone to say, "I believe in you. I love you." But
[02:04:14] say, "I believe in you. I love you." But it's another thing to have a child with
[02:04:17] it's another thing to have a child with that person. And so that changed me
[02:04:21] that person. And so that changed me totally and I and I said to myself, I
[02:04:24] totally and I and I said to myself, I can't despair anymore. I have to work
[02:04:26] can't despair anymore. I have to work hard. I have to provide for my family.
[02:04:31] hard. I have to provide for my family. And at this time I was thinking that
[02:04:33] And at this time I was thinking that maybe I could help students go to Yale.
[02:04:38] maybe I could help students go to Yale. Like you know in China trying to um
[02:04:40] Like you know in China trying to um consulting is a huge business where if
[02:04:42] consulting is a huge business where if you help package a kid and you get to
[02:04:44] you help package a kid and you get to Yale, you get about a million dollars.
[02:04:45] Yale, you get about a million dollars. That's a lot of money, right? and she
[02:04:47] That's a lot of money, right? and she told me, "You can't do that. You have to
[02:04:49] told me, "You can't do that. You have to be true to yourself and you have to be
[02:04:52] be true to yourself and you have to be true to our son." Set a good example for
[02:04:55] true to our son." Set a good example for him. And so what happened was that I got
[02:04:58] him. And so what happened was that I got a job as a high school teacher. And then
[02:05:01] a job as a high school teacher. And then I started to make these YouTube videos
[02:05:04] I started to make these YouTube videos and then it blew up online. And this was
[02:05:07] and then it blew up online. And this was not something that we expected. It's not
[02:05:09] not something that we expected. It's not something that we planned for. It just
[02:05:10] something that we planned for. It just happened organically.
[02:05:12] happened organically. So it was my wife just just by saying
[02:05:17] So it was my wife just just by saying I love you to me and I knew it to be
[02:05:19] I love you to me and I knew it to be true because we had a child together we
[02:05:21] true because we had a child together we started a family together by loving me
[02:05:22] started a family together by loving me unconditionally by being kind to me it
[02:05:24] unconditionally by being kind to me it changed me forever and that's what
[02:05:27] changed me forever and that's what empowered me to want to share myself
[02:05:29] empowered me to want to share myself with other people as well and so I don't
[02:05:32] with other people as well and so I don't know how I will ever thank my wife I'm
[02:05:35] know how I will ever thank my wife I'm I'm forever grateful for her and I don't
[02:05:38] I'm forever grateful for her and I don't I don't before I didn't really mind
[02:05:40] I don't before I didn't really mind leaving this world But I don't want to
[02:05:42] leaving this world But I don't want to leave this world anymore because I don't
[02:05:44] leave this world anymore because I don't want to separate from her.
[02:05:46] want to separate from her. >> Could you have expected that you'd have
[02:05:48] >> Could you have expected that you'd have the success you've had online? You've
[02:05:50] the success you've had online? You've got what almost two and a half million
[02:05:51] got what almost two and a half million subscribers on YouTube alone. Um getting
[02:05:55] subscribers on YouTube alone. Um getting millions and millions and millions of
[02:05:56] millions and millions and millions of views on your videos. I mean, some of
[02:05:58] views on your videos. I mean, some of your videos have almost 10 million views
[02:06:00] your videos have almost 10 million views on on various channels that you've been
[02:06:01] on on various channels that you've been on. You've only made 146 of these videos
[02:06:05] on. You've only made 146 of these videos and your your channel has grown
[02:06:07] and your your channel has grown immensely. Could could you have imagined
[02:06:12] I did.
[02:06:12] I did. >> You did imagine?
[02:06:13] >> You did imagine? >> Yes.
[02:06:13] >> Yes. >> You thought it would go like this.
[02:06:15] >> You thought it would go like this. >> Um, not this big, but I imagine, you
[02:06:18] >> Um, not this big, but I imagine, you know, I I would find people who believe
[02:06:22] know, I I would find people who believe in what I was doing and would be
[02:06:23] in what I was doing and would be inspired by what I was doing. And I knew
[02:06:26] inspired by what I was doing. And I knew this because when I met my wife and I
[02:06:30] this because when I met my wife and I fell in love for the first time and we
[02:06:32] fell in love for the first time and we loved each other uh unconditionally,
[02:06:35] loved each other uh unconditionally, my imagination started to open up. I
[02:06:39] my imagination started to open up. I could see and feel things that were not
[02:06:41] could see and feel things that were not available to me before and it was as
[02:06:45] available to me before and it was as though I became much more connected to
[02:06:48] though I became much more connected to the source. I became much more connected
[02:06:50] the source. I became much more connected to the universe and the universe was
[02:06:52] to the universe and the universe was giving me insights as to how to proceed.
[02:06:56] giving me insights as to how to proceed. And so
[02:06:58] And so I had one day an inspiration. Let me
[02:07:00] I had one day an inspiration. Let me start a YouTube channel and let me make
[02:07:02] start a YouTube channel and let me make stupid predictions and see where where
[02:07:04] stupid predictions and see where where it goes. Because if I'm right then then
[02:07:07] it goes. Because if I'm right then then I would be pretty famous. If I'm wrong
[02:07:11] I would be pretty famous. If I'm wrong then I'm an idiot. But what gave me the
[02:07:14] then I'm an idiot. But what gave me the courage to imagine all this was again
[02:07:17] courage to imagine all this was again the love of my wife. So that's why I say
[02:07:22] the love of my wife. So that's why I say kindness and love.
[02:07:25] kindness and love. So I did imagine this but not to the
[02:07:28] So I did imagine this but not to the extent that um you know my YouTube
[02:07:31] extent that um you know my YouTube channel has blown up. You've only been
[02:07:33] channel has blown up. You've only been doing it about a year. I don't think
[02:07:36] doing it about a year. I don't think I've ever seen someone get two two and a
[02:07:37] I've ever seen someone get two two and a half million subscribers in a year,
[02:07:39] half million subscribers in a year, especially making a geop geopolitics and
[02:07:42] especially making a geop geopolitics and uh
[02:07:44] uh it's mainly geopolitics, isn't it? And
[02:07:46] it's mainly geopolitics, isn't it? And history videos in a year. That's crazy.
[02:07:49] history videos in a year. That's crazy. But I will tell you this, it has not
[02:07:52] But I will tell you this, it has not changed me because being with my wife,
[02:07:57] changed me because being with my wife, having a family, I know my mission is to
[02:08:01] having a family, I know my mission is to share myself with others.
[02:08:03] share myself with others. So,
[02:08:04] So, I could easily
[02:08:07] I could easily um create a media education company like
[02:08:09] um create a media education company like Jordan Peterson um and start my own
[02:08:12] Jordan Peterson um and start my own university. I don't want to do that. I
[02:08:14] university. I don't want to do that. I want to share myself with others. I want
[02:08:18] want to share myself with others. I want to constantly learn. I want to
[02:08:20] to constantly learn. I want to constantly ask questions. I want to be
[02:08:22] constantly ask questions. I want to be open-minded. I want to be brave for my
[02:08:25] open-minded. I want to be brave for my wife and my family. And so, yes, I did
[02:08:30] wife and my family. And so, yes, I did succeed. And I think I thank the
[02:08:32] succeed. And I think I thank the universe for letting me succeed. And I
[02:08:33] universe for letting me succeed. And I and I thank most of all the fact that I
[02:08:36] and I thank most of all the fact that I succeeded at an age and at a time when I
[02:08:40] succeeded at an age and at a time when I can focus on the mission and ignore the
[02:08:43] can focus on the mission and ignore the fame, the wealth, the status. Are you
[02:08:48] fame, the wealth, the status. Are you happy? I'm very happy with my family
[02:08:50] happy? I'm very happy with my family because it's my wife and my children who

[02:08:58] world. the the YouTube channel if they close it down tomorrow and they might I
[02:09:02] close it down tomorrow and they might I wouldn't be at all uh unhappy because I
[02:09:05] wouldn't be at all uh unhappy because I could just go and create more videos. Uh
[02:09:09] could just go and create more videos. Uh what matters is a source of my
[02:09:11] what matters is a source of my creativity which is my the love I have
[02:09:14] creativity which is my the love I have for my family.
[02:09:15] for my family. >> That is beautiful. Really beautiful. I

[02:09:23] the amount of people that showed up in my comment section and demanded that you

[02:10:20] people is you you're able to, um, break things down in visual ways that allow
[02:10:23] things down in visual ways that allow people like me who aren't the best um,
[02:10:26] people like me who aren't the best um, when it comes to books and textbooks and
[02:10:29] when it comes to books and textbooks and weren't necessarily very good in school
[02:10:31] weren't necessarily very good in school to understand concepts in a simpler way
