  1. I think there are a lot of people who do I think there are a lot of people who do not like what I'm saying. I am one of not like what I'm saying. I am one of not like what I'm saying. I am one of the most polarizing figures in the world the most polarizing figures in the world the most polarizing figures in the world right now. But I'm trying to prepare right now. But I'm trying to prepare right now. But I'm trying to prepare everyone. And what I want to explain everyone. And what I want to explain everyone. And what I want to explain [music] to you today, Stephen, is why [music] to you today, Stephen, is why [music] to you today, Stephen, is why the world is collapsing. Because having the world is collapsing. Because having the world is collapsing. Because having studied patterns of history and global studied patterns of history and global studied patterns of history and global supply chains, I now recognize and have supply chains, I now recognize and have supply chains, I now recognize and have a framework to predict the future. And I a framework to predict the future. And I a framework to predict the future. And I brought to you three, four, five brought to you three, four, five brought to you three, four, five predictions structured around 9/11. predictions structured around 9/11. predictions structured around 9/11. >> So what are your predictions? I've been >> So what are your predictions? I've been >> So what are your predictions? I've been dying to know. My first prediction, if dying to know. My first prediction, if dying to know. My first prediction, if there is another 911 attack, it will be there is another 911 attack, it will be there is another 911 attack, it will be an attack on the US financial an attack on the US financial an attack on the US financial infrastructure. Imagine one day you open infrastructure. Imagine one day you open infrastructure. Imagine one day you open your iPhone and you're looking to buy a your iPhone and you're looking to buy a your iPhone and you're looking to buy a coffee and all the money your bank coffee and all the money your bank coffee and all the money your bank account has been wiped out and they account has been wiped out and they account has been wiped out and they don't know when or how long it will take don't know when or how long it will take don't know when or how long it will take them to retrieve it. I believe that's them to retrieve it. I believe that's them to retrieve it. I believe that's what [music] makes Americans most what [music] makes Americans most what [music] makes Americans most vulnerable and therefore the most easily vulnerable and therefore the most easily vulnerable and therefore the most easily traumatized. traumatized. traumatized. >> What's prediction number two? >> What's prediction number two? >> What's prediction number two? >> Is that Lion Messi will become president >> Is that Lion Messi will become president >> Is that Lion Messi will become president of Argentina. of Argentina. of Argentina. >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. And >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. And >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. And also, do you think Trump is going to also, do you think Trump is going to also, do you think Trump is going to have a third term? [music] Let's take a have a third term? [music] Let's take a have a third term? [music] Let's take a friendly ban and say $100. Trump gets a friendly ban and say $100. Trump gets a friendly ban and say $100. Trump gets a third term. There'll be a siege to New third term. There'll be a siege to New third term. There'll be a siege to New York City. Prediction three. My third York City. Prediction three. My third York City. Prediction three. My third prediction is that are you sure? You prediction is that are you sure? You prediction is that are you sure? You don't think that the US would actually don't think that the US would actually don't think that the US would actually do that?

  2. do that? do that? >> Well, I understand a lot of this is >> Well, I understand a lot of this is >> Well, I understand a lot of this is going to be extremely pessimistic, but going to be extremely pessimistic, but going to be extremely pessimistic, but we are living in a time of not just war, we are living in a time of not just war, we are living in a time of not just war, but also the regression of civilization. but also the regression of civilization. but also the regression of civilization. We've basically [music] hit the height We've basically [music] hit the height We've basically [music] hit the height of technological advancement. The word of technological advancement. The word of technological advancement. The word collapse you use there is a strong word. collapse you use there is a strong word. collapse you use there is a strong word. >> Yes. I am positive that we are seeing >> Yes. I am positive that we are seeing >> Yes. I am positive that we are seeing the collapse of civilization. All the the collapse of civilization. All the the collapse of civilization. All the stuffing that we have might have seen on stuffing that we have might have seen on stuffing that we have might have seen on television, it is coming to us in our television, it is coming to us in our television, it is coming to us in our lives and the world is essentially lives and the world is essentially lives and the world is essentially running out of time and I will paint a running out of time and I will paint a running out of time and I will paint a clear and simple picture of what is clear and simple picture of what is clear and simple picture of what is about to come. What would have to be the about to come. What would have to be the about to come. What would have to be the case for none of these sort of case for none of these sort of case for none of these sort of catastrophic things to take place. catastrophic things to take place. catastrophic things to take place. >> Well, the only that gives me hope is >> Well, the only that gives me hope is >> Well, the only that gives me hope is before this episode starts, I have a before this episode starts, I have a before this episode starts, I have a small favor to ask you.

  3. Professor Chang, Professor Chang, what is front of mind for you at the what is front of mind for you at the what is front of mind for you at the moment? Your energy is giving me some moment? Your energy is giving me some moment? Your energy is giving me some things on my mind. What is that? things on my mind. What is that? things on my mind. What is that? >> I think that we are living in >> I think that we are living in >> I think that we are living in a time when the world is collapsing. a time when the world is collapsing. a time when the world is collapsing. And so what I want to explain to you And so what I want to explain to you And so what I want to explain to you today, Stephen, is how we got to the today, Stephen, is how we got to the today, Stephen, is how we got to the world that we are in and why it is world that we are in and why it is world that we are in and why it is collapsing. collapsing. collapsing. So first thing I want to explain to you So first thing I want to explain to you So first thing I want to explain to you is the um petro dollar system which is is the um petro dollar system which is is the um petro dollar system which is the basis for the global economy. So the basis for the global economy. So the basis for the global economy. So let's go back to the year 1945 and this let's go back to the year 1945 and this let's go back to the year 1945 and this is the end of World War II and the is the end of World War II and the is the end of World War II and the United States is dominant. The United United States is dominant. The United United States is dominant. The United States will manufacture States will manufacture States will manufacture goods for Europe and for Japan which goods for Europe and for Japan which goods for Europe and for Japan which were destroyed in World War II. So what were destroyed in World War II. So what were destroyed in World War II. So what the United States said is we will lend the United States said is we will lend the United States said is we will lend you the US dollars in order to purchase you the US dollars in order to purchase you the US dollars in order to purchase the goods that we will export to you but the goods that we will export to you but the goods that we will export to you but you have to promise to pay us back in you have to promise to pay us back in you have to promise to pay us back in gold. And the United States became gold. And the United States became gold. And the United States became complacent. They were spending money complacent. They were spending money complacent. They were spending money they shouldn't have been spending.

  4. they shouldn't have been spending. they shouldn't have been spending. United States went from a credit nation United States went from a credit nation United States went from a credit nation to a debtor nation. So in the year 1971, to a debtor nation. So in the year 1971, to a debtor nation. So in the year 1971, Richard Nixon said that the US dollar Richard Nixon said that the US dollar Richard Nixon said that the US dollar would no longer be pegged to the gold. would no longer be pegged to the gold. would no longer be pegged to the gold. And so the question now was if the US And so the question now was if the US And so the question now was if the US dollar is no longer pegged to gold, then dollar is no longer pegged to gold, then dollar is no longer pegged to gold, then what is the value of the US dollar? So what is the value of the US dollar? So what is the value of the US dollar? So Richard Nixon had to create demand for Richard Nixon had to create demand for Richard Nixon had to create demand for the US dollar. And so three things the US dollar. And so three things the US dollar. And so three things happened after the something called the happened after the something called the happened after the something called the Nixon shock. 1977 in shock. Okay. So the Nixon shock. 1977 in shock. Okay. So the Nixon shock. 1977 in shock. Okay. So the first was a creation of a petro dollar. first was a creation of a petro dollar. first was a creation of a petro dollar. So Saudi Arabia and other countries in So Saudi Arabia and other countries in So Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East agreed to sell their oil the Middle East agreed to sell their oil the Middle East agreed to sell their oil only in US dollars. So if you want to only in US dollars. So if you want to only in US dollars. So if you want to buy oil energy, you need US dollars. buy oil energy, you need US dollars. buy oil energy, you need US dollars. Late 70s, early 80s, Late 70s, early 80s, Late 70s, early 80s, China said the same thing. If you want China said the same thing. If you want China said the same thing. If you want our cheap manufactured goods, you have our cheap manufactured goods, you have our cheap manufactured goods, you have to pay in US dollars.

  5. to pay in US dollars. to pay in US dollars. Mid80s was something called a pla cord Mid80s was something called a pla cord Mid80s was something called a pla cord where Japan agreed to take all its where Japan agreed to take all its where Japan agreed to take all its savings and buy US treasuries. savings and buy US treasuries. savings and buy US treasuries. >> So it's essentially they're buying a a >> So it's essentially they're buying a a >> So it's essentially they're buying a a promise from the US. All this is based promise from the US. All this is based promise from the US. All this is based on promises, right? The US dollar is a on promises, right? The US dollar is a on promises, right? The US dollar is a contract. It's a promise. China promises contract. It's a promise. China promises contract. It's a promise. China promises to give you manufactured goods and Saudi to give you manufactured goods and Saudi to give you manufactured goods and Saudi Arabia promises to give you oil. This Arabia promises to give you oil. This Arabia promises to give you oil. This system, the petro dollar system create system, the petro dollar system create system, the petro dollar system create the world that we live in today. So, let the world that we live in today. So, let the world that we live in today. So, let me explain why. All right. So, this is a me explain why. All right. So, this is a me explain why. All right. So, this is a semiconductor. semiconductor. semiconductor. All right? And it's a basis of all All right? And it's a basis of all All right? And it's a basis of all technology of all computer. And there technology of all computer. And there technology of all computer. And there are three critical elements in a are three critical elements in a are three critical elements in a semiconductor. Silicon, semiconductor. Silicon, semiconductor. Silicon, they are gallium and they are they are gallium and they are they are gallium and they are germanmanium. Okay. There are many more germanmanium. Okay. There are many more germanmanium. Okay. There are many more elements but these are the three most elements but these are the three most elements but these are the three most critical and these three together allow critical and these three together allow critical and these three together allow uh semiconductors to achieve almost uh semiconductors to achieve almost uh semiconductors to achieve almost impossible impossible impossible technology. For example, pre precision technology. For example, pre precision technology. For example, pre precision missiles, satellite communication are missiles, satellite communication are missiles, satellite communication are all based on these three elements all based on these three elements all based on these three elements working together.

  6. working together. working together. Why we have these three elements in Why we have these three elements in Why we have these three elements in place is because of this global system. place is because of this global system. place is because of this global system. Because Because Because silicon is mainly manufactured in China silicon is mainly manufactured in China silicon is mainly manufactured in China about 60 70% of the world silicon comes about 60 70% of the world silicon comes about 60 70% of the world silicon comes from China. 70% of gallium comes from from China. 70% of gallium comes from from China. 70% of gallium comes from China. 90% of the world's germanmanium China. 90% of the world's germanmanium China. 90% of the world's germanmanium comes from China. Now for semiconductors comes from China. Now for semiconductors comes from China. Now for semiconductors to work the process is this. The United to work the process is this. The United to work the process is this. The United States mainly in California, Nvidia or States mainly in California, Nvidia or States mainly in California, Nvidia or Apple, they will design very advanced Apple, they will design very advanced Apple, they will design very advanced semiconductor chips to power the iPhone semiconductor chips to power the iPhone semiconductor chips to power the iPhone to power video games. Then United States to power video games. Then United States to power video games. Then United States will send this chip design over to will send this chip design over to will send this chip design over to Taiwan and Malaysia for the manufacturer Taiwan and Malaysia for the manufacturer Taiwan and Malaysia for the manufacturer of these chips. of these chips. of these chips. The Netherlands and Japan will create The Netherlands and Japan will create The Netherlands and Japan will create machines to print out these machines to print out these machines to print out these semiconductors. So a company in the semiconductors. So a company in the semiconductors. So a company in the Netherlands called ASML, Netherlands called ASML, Netherlands called ASML, they manufacture lithography machines they manufacture lithography machines they manufacture lithography machines that are worth $400 million each. Then that are worth $400 million each. Then that are worth $400 million each. Then these lethog machines and the chip these lethog machines and the chip these lethog machines and the chip design go to Taiwan, primarily Taiwan, design go to Taiwan, primarily Taiwan, design go to Taiwan, primarily Taiwan, but also Malaysia as well in order to but also Malaysia as well in order to but also Malaysia as well in order to manufacture these chips and then these manufacture these chips and then these manufacture these chips and then these chips are then sent to China to be put chips are then sent to China to be put chips are then sent to China to be put into appliances.

  7. into appliances. into appliances. So when you see this semiconductor, So when you see this semiconductor, So when you see this semiconductor, you're not just seeing a piece of metal you're not just seeing a piece of metal you're not just seeing a piece of metal and plastic. You're really seeing the and plastic. You're really seeing the and plastic. You're really seeing the world converging together. So I want you world converging together. So I want you world converging together. So I want you to remember this formula and this will to remember this formula and this will to remember this formula and this will help us explain how the world works. help us explain how the world works. help us explain how the world works. This formula is very simple. This formula is very simple. This formula is very simple. Technological progress is correlated Technological progress is correlated Technological progress is correlated with with with specialization specialization specialization times globalization. times globalization. times globalization. This is the formula. Okay. So it's very This is the formula. Okay. So it's very This is the formula. Okay. So it's very simple. All technolog technological simple. All technolog technological simple. All technolog technological progress is premised on more countries progress is premised on more countries progress is premised on more countries being able to specialize and these being able to specialize and these being able to specialize and these countries being able to trade freely countries being able to trade freely countries being able to trade freely with each other. And what makes this all with each other. And what makes this all with each other. And what makes this all possible is global trade that is possible is global trade that is possible is global trade that is supported by two things. The first of supported by two things. The first of supported by two things. The first of course is the US dollar. The second course is the US dollar. The second course is the US dollar. The second thing that's most important is is the US thing that's most important is is the US thing that's most important is is the US military hegemony. military hegemony. military hegemony. >> Hegemony meaning >> Hegemony meaning >> Hegemony meaning >> meaning there there are no pair >> meaning there there are no pair >> meaning there there are no pair competitor. There is no one who can competitor. There is no one who can competitor. There is no one who can challenge the United States in control challenge the United States in control challenge the United States in control of the seas.

  8. of the seas. of the seas. >> So you're coming now to the point of why >> So you're coming now to the point of why >> So you're coming now to the point of why you think because the the claim at the you think because the the claim at the you think because the the claim at the top was that the world is collapsing. top was that the world is collapsing. top was that the world is collapsing. >> Exactly. I bring this all up because we >> Exactly. I bring this all up because we >> Exactly. I bring this all up because we need to appreciate what technological need to appreciate what technological need to appreciate what technological innovation is. If techn technological innovation is. If techn technological innovation is. If techn technological innovation is specialization times innovation is specialization times innovation is specialization times globalization globalization globalization then we are living in a time of not just then we are living in a time of not just then we are living in a time of not just war but also the regression of war but also the regression of war but also the regression of civilization. civilization. civilization. So in other words my argument to you So in other words my argument to you So in other words my argument to you today is we've basically hit the apex today is we've basically hit the apex today is we've basically hit the apex the height of technological advancement. the height of technological advancement. the height of technological advancement. We cannot go any further because in We cannot go any further because in We cannot go any further because in order for technology to progress, you order for technology to progress, you order for technology to progress, you need greater specialization and you need need greater specialization and you need need greater specialization and you need greater globalization. But what we're greater globalization. But what we're greater globalization. But what we're seeing right now is this war in Iran, it seeing right now is this war in Iran, it seeing right now is this war in Iran, it will cause a chain of events that will will cause a chain of events that will will cause a chain of events that will force all nations to force all nations to force all nations to become much more general. Okay? So you become much more general. Okay? So you become much more general. Okay? So you will see a decline in specialization and will see a decline in specialization and will see a decline in specialization and they'll become much more nationalistic.

  9. they'll become much more nationalistic. they'll become much more nationalistic. They will need to create self-sufficient They will need to create self-sufficient They will need to create self-sufficient supply chains. So you will see a decline supply chains. So you will see a decline supply chains. So you will see a decline in globalization and therefore in globalization and therefore in globalization and therefore technology the progress will have to technology the progress will have to technology the progress will have to decline. decline. decline. >> The word collapse you use though is a >> The word collapse you use though is a >> The word collapse you use though is a strong word. strong word. strong word. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Is that the word you meant? >> Is that the word you meant? >> Is that the word you meant? >> That's exactly the word I meant. We are >> That's exactly the word I meant. We are >> That's exactly the word I meant. We are living not through World War II. We are living not through World War II. We are living not through World War II. We are not living through a shifting of the not living through a shifting of the not living through a shifting of the global order. We are we will live global order. We are we will live global order. We are we will live through over the next 20 years the through over the next 20 years the through over the next 20 years the collapse of civilization itself. collapse of civilization itself. collapse of civilization itself. >> The collapse of civilization itself. >> The collapse of civilization itself. >> The collapse of civilization itself. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Are you sure? >> Are you sure? >> Are you sure? >> I am positive that we are seeing um the >> I am positive that we are seeing um the >> I am positive that we are seeing um the collapse of civilization. collapse of civilization. collapse of civilization. >> Give me some definition around the >> Give me some definition around the >> Give me some definition around the collapse of civilization because people collapse of civilization because people collapse of civilization because people could infer that as oh you know the the could infer that as oh you know the the could infer that as oh you know the the dollar is not going to be as strong or dollar is not going to be as strong or dollar is not going to be as strong or they could say okay we're not going to they could say okay we're not going to they could say okay we're not going to innovate as much or I don't know if your innovate as much or I don't know if your innovate as much or I don't know if your prices are going to go up. But the prices are going to go up. But the prices are going to go up. But the collapse of civilization. collapse of civilization. collapse of civilization. >> Yes. So, let's go back to World War II. >> Yes. So, let's go back to World War II. >> Yes. So, let's go back to World War II. Okay, in World War II, if you lived in Okay, in World War II, if you lived in Okay, in World War II, if you lived in Europe or Asia, it really seemed like Europe or Asia, it really seemed like Europe or Asia, it really seemed like the end of the world. Tens of millions the end of the world. Tens of millions the end of the world. Tens of millions of people died in that war. But at the of people died in that war. But at the of people died in that war. But at the same time, you had a superpower that was same time, you had a superpower that was same time, you had a superpower that was emergent, the United States of America.

  10. emergent, the United States of America. emergent, the United States of America. So at the end of World War II, America So at the end of World War II, America So at the end of World War II, America was so powerful that it was able at the was so powerful that it was able at the was so powerful that it was able at the end of World War II to create a new end of World War II to create a new end of World War II to create a new world order and basically finance and world order and basically finance and world order and basically finance and defend this new world order called Pax defend this new world order called Pax defend this new world order called Pax Americana. And we are seeing the last Americana. And we are seeing the last Americana. And we are seeing the last days of Pax Americana. And then you ask days of Pax Americana. And then you ask days of Pax Americana. And then you ask yourself, well then let China emerge or yourself, well then let China emerge or yourself, well then let China emerge or maybe Russia will emerge or maybe Israel maybe Russia will emerge or maybe Israel maybe Russia will emerge or maybe Israel will will emerge to replace Pax will will emerge to replace Pax will will emerge to replace Pax Americana. Americana. Americana. And unfortunately And unfortunately And unfortunately what we know is that systems in decline, what we know is that systems in decline, what we know is that systems in decline, empires in decline do not go willingly. empires in decline do not go willingly. empires in decline do not go willingly. Okay. So the historical analogy I would Okay. So the historical analogy I would Okay. So the historical analogy I would use is the Bronze Age collapse because use is the Bronze Age collapse because use is the Bronze Age collapse because the Bronze Age was very similar to this the Bronze Age was very similar to this the Bronze Age was very similar to this period in our history when the entire period in our history when the entire period in our history when the entire world was globalized because in order to world was globalized because in order to world was globalized because in order to make bronze you needed both copper and make bronze you needed both copper and make bronze you needed both copper and tin and these places were found in tin and these places were found in tin and these places were found in different places of the world and that different places of the world and that different places of the world and that allowed for global integration. But allowed for global integration. But allowed for global integration. But because of global in integration over because of global in integration over because of global in integration over time you that led to massive inequality, time you that led to massive inequality, time you that led to massive inequality, debt and polarization.

  11. debt and polarization. debt and polarization. And so when the system collapsed, the And so when the system collapsed, the And so when the system collapsed, the entire world collapsed. So I I would entire world collapsed. So I I would entire world collapsed. So I I would argue the closest historical analogy argue the closest historical analogy argue the closest historical analogy that we have that we have that we have um to today is a bronze age collapse. um to today is a bronze age collapse. um to today is a bronze age collapse. What was life like in the Bronze Age What was life like in the Bronze Age What was life like in the Bronze Age collapse or how was it different pre-B collapse or how was it different pre-B collapse or how was it different pre-B bronze age collapse versus post bronze bronze age collapse versus post bronze bronze age collapse versus post bronze age collapse? So during the branch age collapse? So during the branch age collapse? So during the branch collapse what happened was collapse what happened was collapse what happened was there was a perfect series of crises there was a perfect series of crises there was a perfect series of crises that caused systematic collapse. Okay. that caused systematic collapse. Okay. that caused systematic collapse. Okay. The first was The first was The first was change in weather patterns climate change in weather patterns climate change in weather patterns climate changed which led to famine primarily in changed which led to famine primarily in changed which led to famine primarily in Europe. Okay. We have famine and people Europe. Okay. We have famine and people Europe. Okay. We have famine and people are starving. What do people do? They are starving. What do people do? They are starving. What do people do? They migrate. Okay. They migrate to areas migrate. Okay. They migrate to areas migrate. Okay. They migrate to areas that have food and that this this place that have food and that this this place that have food and that this this place is primarily going to be Anatolia and is primarily going to be Anatolia and is primarily going to be Anatolia and Egypt. Egypt. Egypt. These migrants These migrants These migrants overwhelm the systems of Egypt and overwhelm the systems of Egypt and overwhelm the systems of Egypt and Anatolia Anatolia Anatolia and this would cause a cascading effect and this would cause a cascading effect and this would cause a cascading effect where the entire world lost order. These where the entire world lost order. These where the entire world lost order. These migrants were called the sea peoples and migrants were called the sea peoples and migrants were called the sea peoples and they were destroying traditional they were destroying traditional they were destroying traditional hierarchies and authorities.

  12. hierarchies and authorities. hierarchies and authorities. And once that happened then the very And once that happened then the very And once that happened then the very fundamental elements of civilization fundamental elements of civilization fundamental elements of civilization disappear. So if we apply this analogy disappear. So if we apply this analogy disappear. So if we apply this analogy to today then I'm going to paint for you to today then I'm going to paint for you to today then I'm going to paint for you a scenario a scenario a scenario uh of what might happen. All right. So uh of what might happen. All right. So uh of what might happen. All right. So we have this war in the Middle East that we have this war in the Middle East that we have this war in the Middle East that is only expanding. It's bringing in more is only expanding. It's bringing in more is only expanding. It's bringing in more and more countries. So, as you may know, and more countries. So, as you may know, and more countries. So, as you may know, um, since we last spoke, basically all um, since we last spoke, basically all um, since we last spoke, basically all of Iran's proxies have been brought into of Iran's proxies have been brought into of Iran's proxies have been brought into the war. This includes the Houthis, the war. This includes the Houthis, the war. This includes the Houthis, which occupies this part of Yemen. which occupies this part of Yemen. which occupies this part of Yemen. >> So, the Houthis are a group of military >> So, the Houthis are a group of military >> So, the Houthis are a group of military that are in favor of Iran. that are in favor of Iran. that are in favor of Iran. >> The Houthies are an ethnic group in >> The Houthies are an ethnic group in >> The Houthies are an ethnic group in Yemen. And Yemen is a country that is Yemen. And Yemen is a country that is Yemen. And Yemen is a country that is divided according to tribes. The thing divided according to tribes. The thing divided according to tribes. The thing about the Houthies is first of all they about the Houthies is first of all they about the Houthies is first of all they live in the mountains. So it's almost live in the mountains. So it's almost live in the mountains. So it's almost impossible to dislodge the Houthies. impossible to dislodge the Houthies. impossible to dislodge the Houthies. Saudi Arabia be a tried for 5 years. It Saudi Arabia be a tried for 5 years. It Saudi Arabia be a tried for 5 years. It didn't work. The other thing about the didn't work. The other thing about the didn't work. The other thing about the Houthis is they are a Shia tribe people.

  13. Houthis is they are a Shia tribe people. Houthis is they are a Shia tribe people. Now they're Shia Muslim and they're Now they're Shia Muslim and they're Now they're Shia Muslim and they're Sunni Muslim. The vast majority of Sunni Muslim. The vast majority of Sunni Muslim.

The Shia are about 10%. And as a result, The Shia are about 10%. And as a result, The Shia are about 10%. And as a result, because they're the the minority, the because they're the the minority, the because they're the the minority, the Shia are much more fanatical than the Shia are much more fanatical than the Shia are much more fanatical than the Sunni. And this has always been Sunni. And this has always been Sunni. And this has always been historically true. They believe in historically true. They believe in historically true. They believe in martyrdom. So in other words, uh the the martyrdom. So in other words, uh the the martyrdom. So in other words, uh the the Houthies will fight to the death. Houthies will fight to the death. Houthies will fight to the death. They're not afraid of death. Okay. And They're not afraid of death. Okay. And They're not afraid of death. Okay. And the third thing about the Houthies that the third thing about the Houthies that the third thing about the Houthies that we need to appreciate is they control we need to appreciate is they control we need to appreciate is they control this critical this critical this critical choke point called the Bab El Mandad choke point called the Bab El Mandad choke point called the Bab El Mandad Strait. This is this is the Red Sea. So Strait. This is this is the Red Sea. So Strait. This is this is the Red Sea. So a lot of trade has to go through the Red a lot of trade has to go through the Red a lot of trade has to go through the Red Sea. Now what we know is Iran has Sea. Now what we know is Iran has Sea. Now what we know is Iran has already closed off the sh of hummus already closed off the sh of hummus already closed off the sh of hummus and the easiest and cheapest way for and the easiest and cheapest way for and the easiest and cheapest way for Saudi Arabia to get its oil to East Asia Saudi Arabia to get its oil to East Asia Saudi Arabia to get its oil to East Asia and South South Asia is by the sea. So and South South Asia is by the sea. So and South South Asia is by the sea. So Saudi Arabia cannot actually transport Saudi Arabia cannot actually transport Saudi Arabia cannot actually transport its oil. Okay. So that's the first group its oil. Okay. So that's the first group its oil. Okay. So that's the first group that is now involved in this war.

  14. that is now involved in this war. that is now involved in this war. Houthis. Then you have Hezbollah, okay, Houthis. Then you have Hezbollah, okay, Houthis. Then you have Hezbollah, okay, which is in Lebanon right here. [snorts] which is in Lebanon right here. [snorts] which is in Lebanon right here. [snorts] And they are now fighting Israel. And they are now fighting Israel. And they are now fighting Israel. Hezbollah is also a Shia group. So they Hezbollah is also a Shia group. So they Hezbollah is also a Shia group. So they are also very fanatical. And then you are also very fanatical. And then you are also very fanatical. And then you also have Iraq, the Shia militias that also have Iraq, the Shia militias that also have Iraq, the Shia militias that are basically their own independent are basically their own independent are basically their own independent militaries. So all four are have been militaries. So all four are have been militaries. So all four are have been brought into the war. You have Iran, you brought into the war. You have Iran, you brought into the war. You have Iran, you have the Houthis, you have Hezbollah, have the Houthis, you have Hezbollah, have the Houthis, you have Hezbollah, you have the Shia militia in Iraq. Why you have the Shia militia in Iraq. Why you have the Shia militia in Iraq. Why is this important? Because they span the is this important? Because they span the is this important? Because they span the entire Middle East. And so we are now entire Middle East. And so we are now entire Middle East. And so we are now seeing expansion of the war and over seeing expansion of the war and over seeing expansion of the war and over time what might happen is more and more time what might happen is more and more time what might happen is more and more nations have to be brought into the war nations have to be brought into the war nations have to be brought into the war to protect their own interests. How is to protect their own interests. How is to protect their own interests. How is this different from, you know, I grew up this different from, you know, I grew up this different from, you know, I grew up with this Iraq war with this Iraq war with this Iraq war >> and there was lots of conflict in the >> and there was lots of conflict in the >> and there was lots of conflict in the Middle East. There was always fighting Middle East. There was always fighting Middle East. There was always fighting going on and it's it feels like it's going on and it's it feels like it's going on and it's it feels like it's been a function of my my childhood is been a function of my my childhood is been a function of my my childhood is that the Middle East are always fighting that the Middle East are always fighting that the Middle East are always fighting in some capacity somewhere and it you in some capacity somewhere and it you in some capacity somewhere and it you know eventually there's a piece in Iraq know eventually there's a piece in Iraq know eventually there's a piece in Iraq and the war kind of stops and ISIS is and the war kind of stops and ISIS is and the war kind of stops and ISIS is decapitated or whatever and it just kind decapitated or whatever and it just kind decapitated or whatever and it just kind of moves around a little bit.

  15. of moves around a little bit. of moves around a little bit. >> Yeah, great question. But what's >> Yeah, great question. But what's >> Yeah, great question. But what's happening today is very different from happening today is very different from happening today is very different from 20 2003. 2003, United States went in to 20 2003. 2003, United States went in to 20 2003. 2003, United States went in to get decapitate Saddam Hussein and his get decapitate Saddam Hussein and his get decapitate Saddam Hussein and his government. And that was easy to do government. And that was easy to do government. And that was easy to do because you had a government that was because you had a government that was because you had a government that was not very popular amongst uh the people. not very popular amongst uh the people. not very popular amongst uh the people. So, America specializes in shock and awe So, America specializes in shock and awe So, America specializes in shock and awe military tactics. military tactics. military tactics. The problem today is you have four The problem today is you have four The problem today is you have four different groups. You have the IRGC in different groups. You have the IRGC in different groups. You have the IRGC in Iran. You have the Houthi in Yemen. You Iran. You have the Houthi in Yemen. You Iran. You have the Houthi in Yemen. You have Hezbollah in Lebanon. You have the have Hezbollah in Lebanon. You have the have Hezbollah in Lebanon. You have the Shia militia in Iraq. They are Shia militia in Iraq. They are Shia militia in Iraq. They are decentralized. decentralized. decentralized. They are fanatical and they share a They are fanatical and they share a They are fanatical and they share a similar esquetology. They share a similar esquetology. They share a similar esquetology. They share a similar religious framework. similar religious framework. similar religious framework. And as a result, what we know is And as a result, what we know is And as a result, what we know is the United States military is not very the United States military is not very the United States military is not very good at fighting guerilla insurgents.

  16. good at fighting guerilla insurgents. good at fighting guerilla insurgents. We know because of what happened in We know because of what happened in We know because of what happened in Afghanistan as well as Iran. These two Afghanistan as well as Iran. These two Afghanistan as well as Iran. These two are what is often referred to as TW as are what is often referred to as TW as are what is often referred to as TW as fervor wars where the United States fervor wars where the United States fervor wars where the United States spent trillions of dollars over over 20 spent trillions of dollars over over 20 spent trillions of dollars over over 20 years to try to squash insurgents and years to try to squash insurgents and years to try to squash insurgents and they failed miserably. So they failed miserably. So they failed miserably. So because these four groups are because these four groups are because these four groups are coordinating but they're decentralized. coordinating but they're decentralized. coordinating but they're decentralized. This means that this war can only expand This means that this war can only expand This means that this war can only expand over time. Now Saudi Arabia is feels over time. Now Saudi Arabia is feels over time. Now Saudi Arabia is feels threatened by the Houthis. So what Saudi threatened by the Houthis. So what Saudi threatened by the Houthis. So what Saudi Arabia has done is most recently it's Arabia has done is most recently it's Arabia has done is most recently it's signed something called the Mecca signed something called the Mecca signed something called the Mecca Accords. Accords. Accords. Turkey and Pakistan. Okay. So Turkey and Turkey and Pakistan. Okay. So Turkey and Turkey and Pakistan. Okay. So Turkey and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia now must come Pakistan and Saudi Arabia now must come Pakistan and Saudi Arabia now must come to each other's defense. And it seems to to each other's defense. And it seems to to each other's defense. And it seems to me of these three countries, Saudi me of these three countries, Saudi me of these three countries, Saudi Arabia will be the first to invoke this Arabia will be the first to invoke this Arabia will be the first to invoke this mutual defense pact against the mutual defense pact against the mutual defense pact against the Houthies. So you can see a situation Houthies. So you can see a situation Houthies. So you can see a situation where Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia where Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia where Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia is brought into war to try to dislodge is brought into war to try to dislodge is brought into war to try to dislodge the Houthies. But we know that the the Houthies. But we know that the the Houthies. But we know that the Houthies in a mountain retreat are Houthies in a mountain retreat are Houthies in a mountain retreat are almost invincible.

  17. almost invincible. almost invincible. So this war can only expand. And the So this war can only expand. And the So this war can only expand. And the Houthies in response what they can do is Houthies in response what they can do is Houthies in response what they can do is destroy the energy infrastructure of destroy the energy infrastructure of destroy the energy infrastructure of Saudi Arabia. The Houthies have Saudi Arabia. The Houthies have Saudi Arabia. The Houthies have ballistic missiles. They have drones. ballistic missiles. They have drones. ballistic missiles. They have drones. And Saudi Arabia is this giant lake of And Saudi Arabia is this giant lake of And Saudi Arabia is this giant lake of gasoline ready to be blown up or lit up gasoline ready to be blown up or lit up gasoline ready to be blown up or lit up by the Houthies at any time. by the Houthies at any time. by the Houthies at any time. >> You know, back in the early 2000s, there >> You know, back in the early 2000s, there >> You know, back in the early 2000s, there was the alqaeda, there was ISIS, there was the alqaeda, there was ISIS, there was the alqaeda, there was ISIS, there was, you know, there was still Hezbollah was, you know, there was still Hezbollah was, you know, there was still Hezbollah in Hamas. So, how is how is this in Hamas. So, how is how is this in Hamas. So, how is how is this different? because there was lots of different? because there was lots of different? because there was lots of military militant groups. military militant groups. military militant groups. >> Great question. Okay. >> Great question. Okay. >> Great question. Okay. Why this is different is there is active Why this is different is there is active Why this is different is there is active coordination amongst these groups. So coordination amongst these groups. So coordination amongst these groups. So al-Qaeda, ISIS, they were working al-Qaeda, ISIS, they were working al-Qaeda, ISIS, they were working separately. But the there are three separately. But the there are three separately. But the there are three proxies, okay? You have the Houthis, you proxies, okay? You have the Houthis, you proxies, okay? You have the Houthis, you have the Hezbollah in Lebanon, you have have the Hezbollah in Lebanon, you have have the Hezbollah in Lebanon, you have the Shia militia, they all report back the Shia militia, they all report back the Shia militia, they all report back to the IRGC in Iran. And here's the to the IRGC in Iran. And here's the to the IRGC in Iran. And here's the kicker. This is really important. Both kicker. This is really important. Both kicker. This is really important. Both China China China and Russia are supporting Iran in this and Russia are supporting Iran in this and Russia are supporting Iran in this conflict.

  18. conflict. conflict. China is supporting Iran through the China is supporting Iran through the China is supporting Iran through the Belone initiative. Basically Belone initiative. Basically Belone initiative. Basically transporting goods to Iran through this transporting goods to Iran through this transporting goods to Iran through this corridor and Russia is supporting Iran corridor and Russia is supporting Iran corridor and Russia is supporting Iran through the Caspian Sea. As a result, through the Caspian Sea. As a result, through the Caspian Sea. As a result, Iran in theory could fight this war Iran in theory could fight this war Iran in theory could fight this war indefinitely. Okay, that's one thing indefinitely. Okay, that's one thing indefinitely. Okay, that's one thing that we have to appreciate. there's a that we have to appreciate. there's a that we have to appreciate. there's a clear alliance in place to make sure clear alliance in place to make sure clear alliance in place to make sure that Iran and its proxies can withstand that Iran and its proxies can withstand that Iran and its proxies can withstand this war. The other thing that's really this war. The other thing that's really this war. The other thing that's really important for us to appreciate is like important for us to appreciate is like important for us to appreciate is like the Middle East, it is the heart and the Middle East, it is the heart and the Middle East, it is the heart and center of the petro dollar system. It center of the petro dollar system. It center of the petro dollar system. It takes all these barrels of oil in the takes all these barrels of oil in the takes all these barrels of oil in the GCC countries and transports them to GCC countries and transports them to GCC countries and transports them to India, Pakistan, India, Pakistan, India, Pakistan, China, China, China, Japan. Japan. Japan. Okay.

  19. Okay. Okay. And what then happens is the the East And what then happens is the the East And what then happens is the the East Asia takes these barrels of oil energy. Asia takes these barrels of oil energy. Asia takes these barrels of oil energy. Um, could you put the the mirror Um, could you put the the mirror Um, could you put the the mirror brothers in Japan? brothers in Japan? brothers in Japan? >> What are these little figurines you're >> What are these little figurines you're >> What are these little figurines you're asking me to put in Japan? asking me to put in Japan? asking me to put in Japan? >> So, this represents Japan's contribution >> So, this represents Japan's contribution >> So, this represents Japan's contribution to the global economy. So, it takes to the global economy. So, it takes to the global economy. So, it takes energy from the Middle East and turns energy from the Middle East and turns energy from the Middle East and turns them into manufactured products, them into manufactured products, them into manufactured products, consumer electronic products for the consumer electronic products for the consumer electronic products for the world to consume. It makes these in US world to consume. It makes these in US world to consume. It makes these in US dollars and China, Japan and the GCC all dollars and China, Japan and the GCC all dollars and China, Japan and the GCC all invest their access savings in the invest their access savings in the invest their access savings in the United States which allows United States United States which allows United States United States which allows United States to focus on innovation to create places to focus on innovation to create places to focus on innovation to create places like New York City. New York City is like New York City. New York City is like New York City. New York City is also a very specialized area because it also a very specialized area because it also a very specialized area because it basically is a financial center of the basically is a financial center of the basically is a financial center of the world. Okay. So all this is a petro world. Okay. So all this is a petro world. Okay. So all this is a petro dollar system. As you can see, the dollar system. As you can see, the dollar system. As you can see, the system is dependent on free trade. But system is dependent on free trade. But system is dependent on free trade. But once the oil stops flowing, then what once the oil stops flowing, then what once the oil stops flowing, then what happens is China, Japan are no longer happens is China, Japan are no longer happens is China, Japan are no longer able to make the manufactured goods they able to make the manufactured goods they able to make the manufactured goods they need to export need to export need to export and United States loses all these and United States loses all these and United States loses all these recycled US dollars.

  20. recycled US dollars. recycled US dollars. So the three biggest buyers of US So the three biggest buyers of US So the three biggest buyers of US treasuries basically the three biggest treasuries basically the three biggest treasuries basically the three biggest financiers of the of the US economy financiers of the of the US economy financiers of the of the US economy basically the AI bubble are Japan the basically the AI bubble are Japan the basically the AI bubble are Japan the GCC and China. So we will see a GCC and China. So we will see a GCC and China. So we will see a cascading effect of theft where maybe in cascading effect of theft where maybe in cascading effect of theft where maybe in a few months time the system collapses. a few months time the system collapses. a few months time the system collapses. Do you know what professor? One [snorts] Do you know what professor? One [snorts] Do you know what professor?

One of the reasons why it's quite hard One of the reasons why it's quite hard One of the reasons why it's quite hard to [snorts] to [snorts] to [snorts] believe that, you know, the world is is believe that, you know, the world is is believe that, you know, the world is is going to collapse and that this is going going to collapse and that this is going going to collapse and that this is going to be like the Bronze Age collapse. I to be like the Bronze Age collapse. I to be like the Bronze Age collapse. I was I was actually reading about the was I was actually reading about the was I was actually reading about the Bronze Age collapse after you mentioned Bronze Age collapse after you mentioned Bronze Age collapse after you mentioned it. And what I I pulled up here says, it. And what I I pulled up here says, it. And what I I pulled up here says, "The late Bronze Age collapse was a "The late Bronze Age collapse was a "The late Bronze Age collapse was a rapid, violent, and widespread societal rapid, violent, and widespread societal rapid, violent, and widespread societal breakdown that occurred in the Eastern breakdown that occurred in the Eastern breakdown that occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean between approximately Mediterranean between approximately Mediterranean between approximately 1,200 and 1,150 B.CE. Before the 1,200 and 1,150 B.CE. Before the 1,200 and 1,150 B.CE. Before the collapse, the region was heavily collapse, the region was heavily collapse, the region was heavily globalized. Major superpowers like the globalized. Major superpowers like the globalized. Major superpowers like the Egyptians, etc., etc., were deeply inter Egyptians, etc., etc., were deeply inter Egyptians, etc., etc., were deeply inter interconnected through diplomacy, royal interconnected through diplomacy, royal interconnected through diplomacy, royal marriages, and complex international marriages, and complex international marriages, and complex international trade networks. But within a span of trade networks. But within a span of trade networks. But within a span of just 50 years, almost every significant just 50 years, almost every significant just 50 years, almost every significant city in the Eastern Mediterranean was city in the Eastern Mediterranean was city in the Eastern Mediterranean was destroyed and many were never rebuilt.

  21. destroyed and many were never rebuilt. destroyed and many were never rebuilt. And there's a map which I'll throw up on And there's a map which I'll throw up on And there's a map which I'll throw up on the screen which shows this breakdown. I the screen which shows this breakdown. I the screen which shows this breakdown. I here's my honesty. As a 34 year old, I here's my honesty. As a 34 year old, I here's my honesty. As a 34 year old, I have lived a very charmed life. have lived a very charmed life. have lived a very charmed life. >> Charmed life. >> Charmed life. >> Charmed life. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> As it relates to his, you know, history >> As it relates to his, you know, history >> As it relates to his, you know, history and the things that happened in history. and the things that happened in history. and the things that happened in history. So when we hear these things that you So when we hear these things that you So when we hear these things that you know the society will break down, know the society will break down, know the society will break down, there'll be civil collapse, we don't there'll be civil collapse, we don't there'll be civil collapse, we don't really have a reference point as like really have a reference point as like really have a reference point as like Gen Z's and millennials really our Gen Z's and millennials really our Gen Z's and millennials really our parents and their parents they have you parents and their parents they have you parents and their parents they have you know reference points from World War II know reference points from World War II know reference points from World War II etc in the 1940s etc but we don't really etc in the 1940s etc but we don't really etc in the 1940s etc but we don't really have them.

Yeah, you know that can't happen to us. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I think a you're absolutely right. And I think a you're absolutely right. And I think a lot of the issue is lot of the issue is lot of the issue is the world has been constructed in a way the world has been constructed in a way the world has been constructed in a way to maintain the privileges of the to maintain the privileges of the to maintain the privileges of the western populations. An example I use is western populations. An example I use is western populations. An example I use is um you say um you say um you say that we've lived a charm life. Well, if that we've lived a charm life. Well, if that we've lived a charm life. Well, if you've been if you lived in Iraq, you've been if you lived in Iraq, you've been if you lived in Iraq, Afghanistan, these places, you do not Afghanistan, these places, you do not Afghanistan, these places, you do not live a charm life. Yeah, live a charm life. Yeah, live a charm life. Yeah, >> because United States came and attacked >> because United States came and attacked >> because United States came and attacked you for no particular reason and they you for no particular reason and they you for no particular reason and they destroyed the very infrastructure of destroyed the very infrastructure of destroyed the very infrastructure of your society. Even today, Iraq and your society. Even today, Iraq and your society. Even today, Iraq and Afghanistan are engulfed in political Afghanistan are engulfed in political Afghanistan are engulfed in political violence and war and political violence and war and political violence and war and political assassinations. And so, you've never assassinations. And so, you've never assassinations. And so, you've never known if you were a child in Iraq or known if you were a child in Iraq or known if you were a child in Iraq or Afghanistan and even in Africa, you've

  22. Afghanistan and even in Africa, you've Afghanistan and even in Africa, you've you never known peace, stability, and you never known peace, stability, and you never known peace, stability, and prosperity. So the inequality in the prosperity. So the inequality in the prosperity. So the inequality in the world is stark and we in the west have world is stark and we in the west have world is stark and we in the west have been extremely privileged to be been extremely privileged to be been extremely privileged to be sheltered from a lot of the chaos in the sheltered from a lot of the chaos in the sheltered from a lot of the chaos in the world.

We never took any indications. But I worked hard. I got indications. But I worked hard. I got indications. But I worked hard. I got into Yale University, one of the best into Yale University, one of the best into Yale University, one of the best colleges in the world. And not only colleges in the world. And not only colleges in the world. And not only that, but I went there on a full that, but I went there on a full that, but I went there on a full scholarship. So from my perspective, the scholarship. So from my perspective, the scholarship. So from my perspective, the world was perfect. It was a meritocracy.

  24. world was perfect. It was a meritocracy. world was perfect. It was a meritocracy. It was a place that rewarded talent and It was a place that rewarded talent and It was a place that rewarded talent and hard work. So I believed hard work. So I believed hard work. So I believed that the world was governed by reason, that the world was governed by reason, that the world was governed by reason, by logic, by science, by truth, by good by logic, by science, by truth, by good by logic, by science, by truth, by good people. people. people. And when Brexit and the election of And when Brexit and the election of And when Brexit and the election of Donald Trump happened, I was Donald Trump happened, I was Donald Trump happened, I was traumatized. traumatized. traumatized. Brexit was the British people turning Brexit was the British people turning Brexit was the British people turning away from globalization. The election of away from globalization. The election of away from globalization. The election of Donald Trump from my perspective was the Donald Trump from my perspective was the Donald Trump from my perspective was the American rejection of meritocracy, of American rejection of meritocracy, of American rejection of meritocracy, of reason, of truth, of of order. And when reason, of truth, of of order. And when reason, of truth, of of order. And when that happened, it sort of told me that happened, it sort of told me that happened, it sort of told me what I believe about the world what I believe about the world what I believe about the world didn't really work. And when those didn't really work. And when those didn't really work. And when those things happened, that forced me to things happened, that forced me to things happened, that forced me to reflect deeply on reflect deeply on reflect deeply on why the world was was breaking down. And why the world was was breaking down. And why the world was was breaking down. And those events led me to today. Because those events led me to today. Because those events led me to today. Because what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to figure out patterns of history, figure out patterns of history, figure out patterns of history, principles of society principles of society principles of society that allow us to better understand that allow us to better understand that allow us to better understand ourselves.

And having studied history, having And having studied history, having And having studied history, having studied global supply chains, I now studied global supply chains, I now studied global supply chains, I now recognize that no technology just comes recognize that no technology just comes recognize that no technology just comes from specialization and globalization. from specialization and globalization. from specialization and globalization. And this not only is an analysis of the And this not only is an analysis of the And this not only is an analysis of the current world, but it also gives us a current world, but it also gives us a current world, but it also gives us a framework to predict the future, right? framework to predict the future, right? framework to predict the future, right? So if in a time of war, So if in a time of war, So if in a time of war, commercialization, globalization break commercialization, globalization break commercialization, globalization break down, then in theory, technology should down, then in theory, technology should down, then in theory, technology should break down as well.

You are it involves the entire world. You are it involves the entire world. You are not able to build semiconductors unless not able to build semiconductors unless not able to build semiconductors unless you have a globalized economy. So you have a globalized economy. So you have a globalized economy. So there's been a lot of talk about China there's been a lot of talk about China there's been a lot of talk about China controlling the elements, right? So, controlling the elements, right? So, controlling the elements, right? So, China manufactures about uh 70% of the China manufactures about uh 70% of the China manufactures about uh 70% of the world's silicon and rare earths, China world's silicon and rare earths, China world's silicon and rare earths, China controls about 70% of rare earths. What controls about 70% of rare earths. What controls about 70% of rare earths. What people don't appreciate is it works both people don't appreciate is it works both people don't appreciate is it works both ways. Okay? So, China does export a lot ways. Okay? So, China does export a lot ways. Okay? So, China does export a lot of silicon and rare earths, but it also of silicon and rare earths, but it also of silicon and rare earths, but it also needs to import a lot of helium in order needs to import a lot of helium in order needs to import a lot of helium in order to sustain its semiconductor to sustain its semiconductor to sustain its semiconductor manufacturing process. The reason why is manufacturing process. The reason why is manufacturing process. The reason why is helium cools these semiconductors in a helium cools these semiconductors in a helium cools these semiconductors in a way um to to allow it for to be way um to to allow it for to be way um to to allow it for to be manufactured. Okay. So, helium is a manufactured. Okay. So, helium is a manufactured. Okay. So, helium is a cooling agent. Another thing that people cooling agent. Another thing that people cooling agent. Another thing that people don't appreciate is people think that don't appreciate is people think that don't appreciate is people think that China has a monopoly on rare earths, but China has a monopoly on rare earths, but China has a monopoly on rare earths, but America in a place called Spruce Pine, America in a place called Spruce Pine, America in a place called Spruce Pine, Spruce Pine, Spruce Pine, Spruce Pine, North Carolina.

  28. North Carolina. North Carolina. This area has monopoly on high quality This area has monopoly on high quality This area has monopoly on high quality quartz. It controls about 90% of the quartz. It controls about 90% of the quartz. It controls about 90% of the world's high quality quarts which you world's high quality quarts which you world's high quality quarts which you need in the silicon manufacturing need in the silicon manufacturing need in the silicon manufacturing process as well. Okay. So if these process as well. Okay. So if these process as well. Okay. So if these nations start to stop trading with each nations start to stop trading with each nations start to stop trading with each each other technology would cease to each other technology would cease to each other technology would cease to progress. Now something to keep in mind progress. Now something to keep in mind progress. Now something to keep in mind is it's not just semiconductors that are is it's not just semiconductors that are is it's not just semiconductors that are dependent on the global supply chain. dependent on the global supply chain. dependent on the global supply chain. Food is also very dependent on the glo Food is also very dependent on the glo Food is also very dependent on the glo global supply chain. So what we're global supply chain. So what we're global supply chain. So what we're seeing is a stark contrast between the seeing is a stark contrast between the seeing is a stark contrast between the north and the south. So the north, okay, north and the south. So the north, okay, north and the south. So the north, okay, produces produces produces most of the world's fertilizer most of the world's fertilizer most of the world's fertilizer and the south, okay, primarily Africa, and the south, okay, primarily Africa, and the south, okay, primarily Africa, the Middle East and South America, they the Middle East and South America, they the Middle East and South America, they import a lot of the fertilizer. This map import a lot of the fertilizer. This map import a lot of the fertilizer. This map shows it much more clearly. Okay, so shows it much more clearly. Okay, so shows it much more clearly. Okay, so ammonia is a very important component of ammonia is a very important component of ammonia is a very important component of fertilizer. And as you can see, most of fertilizer. And as you can see, most of fertilizer. And as you can see, most of the ammonium production plants are the ammonium production plants are the ammonium production plants are actually in the north of the world.

  29. actually in the north of the world. actually in the north of the world. Canada, United States, Europe, China, Canada, United States, Europe, China, Canada, United States, Europe, China, Russia. [snorts] So the south, the Russia. [snorts] So the south, the Russia. [snorts] So the south, the global south is dependent on the north global south is dependent on the north global south is dependent on the north for food. In a time of war, when global for food. In a time of war, when global for food. In a time of war, when global supply chains break down, the north supply chains break down, the north supply chains break down, the north might lose access to fancy wireless might lose access to fancy wireless might lose access to fancy wireless smartphones. The south will face famine. smartphones. The south will face famine. smartphones. The south will face famine. Okay? Why is this important? Okay? Why is this important? Okay? Why is this important? because the world is rife with conflict. because the world is rife with conflict. because the world is rife with conflict. The main issue that we're we will face The main issue that we're we will face The main issue that we're we will face next 20 years is not oil. It's actually next 20 years is not oil. It's actually next 20 years is not oil. It's actually water. All right. So, this map that water. All right. So, this map that water. All right. So, this map that we're seeing right now is actually we're seeing right now is actually we're seeing right now is actually telling us where the next major telling us where the next major telling us where the next major geopolitical flash points are. So geopolitical flash points are. So geopolitical flash points are. So basically if you see red on the map it basically if you see red on the map it basically if you see red on the map it means this place has water scarcity means this place has water scarcity means this place has water scarcity issues and the red issues tell us issues and the red issues tell us issues and the red issues tell us exactly where wars will erupt. Okay. So, exactly where wars will erupt. Okay. So, exactly where wars will erupt. Okay. So, even the United States, if you look at even the United States, if you look at even the United States, if you look at the western part of the United States, the western part of the United States, the western part of the United States, they do have water scarcity issues. And they do have water scarcity issues. And they do have water scarcity issues. And actually, if you go to uh the western actually, if you go to uh the western actually, if you go to uh the western United States, Colorado, California, United States, Colorado, California, United States, Colorado, California, Arizona, these places, they're fighting Arizona, these places, they're fighting Arizona, these places, they're fighting over the Colorado River because the over the Colorado River because the over the Colorado River because the Colorado River is what supplies most of Colorado River is what supplies most of Colorado River is what supplies most of their water. You go to the Middle East their water. You go to the Middle East their water. You go to the Middle East and you know that the Middle East is and you know that the Middle East is and you know that the Middle East is almost like a dynamite ready to explode.

  30. almost like a dynamite ready to explode. almost like a dynamite ready to explode. And what this war will do is aggravate And what this war will do is aggravate And what this war will do is aggravate all the tensions in the Middle East. all the tensions in the Middle East. all the tensions in the Middle East. India itself is facing water shortages India itself is facing water shortages India itself is facing water shortages which brings it into conflict with which brings it into conflict with which brings it into conflict with China. Okay. So this one map if you can China. Okay. So this one map if you can China. Okay. So this one map if you can just see it, it basically tells you um just see it, it basically tells you um just see it, it basically tells you um where the next geopolitical flash points where the next geopolitical flash points where the next geopolitical flash points will be. It means a place that is most will be. It means a place that is most will be. It means a place that is most likely to go to war or have conflict or likely to go to war or have conflict or likely to go to war or have conflict or political violence with the next 20 political violence with the next 20 political violence with the next 20 years. Okay. But also here is north uh years. Okay. But also here is north uh years. Okay. But also here is north uh east Asia. Japan is here. North Korea is east Asia. Japan is here. North Korea is east Asia. Japan is here. North Korea is here. Okay. So that's another major here. Okay. So that's another major here. Okay. So that's another major flash point. So this is what over the flash point. So this is what over the flash point. So this is what over the next 20 years where war is most likely next 20 years where war is most likely next 20 years where war is most likely to break out. Okay. But what's important to break out. Okay. But what's important to break out. Okay. But what's important to appreciate is once war breaks out to appreciate is once war breaks out to appreciate is once war breaks out there are third order effects there are third order effects there are third order effects um causing conflict to spread around the um causing conflict to spread around the um causing conflict to spread around the world. Okay. This is a really important world. Okay. This is a really important world. Okay. This is a really important map for us to appreciate as well. This map for us to appreciate as well. This map for us to appreciate as well. This map tells us fertility rates around the map tells us fertility rates around the map tells us fertility rates around the world. As you can see, Africa has the world. As you can see, Africa has the world. As you can see, Africa has the world's highest fertility rate followed world's highest fertility rate followed world's highest fertility rate followed by the Middle East. Okay.

  31. by the Middle East. Okay. by the Middle East. Okay. >> So, they're having the most children per >> So, they're having the most children per >> So, they're having the most children per couples. couples. couples. >> That's right. Why is this a problem? >> That's right. Why is this a problem? >> That's right. Why is this a problem? Because if you go back to the previous Because if you go back to the previous Because if you go back to the previous map, this area is also where there is map, this area is also where there is map, this area is also where there is the most geopolitical tension. And so if the most geopolitical tension. And so if the most geopolitical tension. And so if there are more and more children, young there are more and more children, young there are more and more children, young people being born here, they have no people being born here, they have no people being born here, they have no choice but to migrate. And where will choice but to migrate. And where will choice but to migrate. And where will they migrate? Probably to Europe. And they migrate? Probably to Europe. And they migrate? Probably to Europe. And you're like, well, okay, well then what you're like, well, okay, well then what you're like, well, okay, well then what Europe should do is turtle up. Europe Europe should do is turtle up. Europe Europe should do is turtle up. Europe should build walls and prevent these should build walls and prevent these should build walls and prevent these migrants from reaching Europe. But migrants from reaching Europe. But migrants from reaching Europe. But Europe has its own problem, which is the Europe has its own problem, which is the Europe has its own problem, which is the aging crisis. Okay. So, look at what's aging crisis. Okay. So, look at what's aging crisis. Okay. So, look at what's happening where the fastest aging happening where the fastest aging happening where the fastest aging populations are in fact in the most populations are in fact in the most populations are in fact in the most developed nations including Japan, developed nations including Japan, developed nations including Japan, Europe, and North America. So, if you Europe, and North America. So, if you Europe, and North America. So, if you have an aging population, you need to have an aging population, you need to have an aging population, you need to provide cheap health care, nursing. What provide cheap health care, nursing. What provide cheap health care, nursing. What What does that mean? It means you have What does that mean? It means you have What does that mean? It means you have to let in more immigrants in order to to let in more immigrants in order to to let in more immigrants in order to surface surface surface the aging population.

  32. the aging population. the aging population. And what will happen then is domestic And what will happen then is domestic And what will happen then is domestic conflict where you have more migration conflict where you have more migration conflict where you have more migration into western societies which brings them into western societies which brings them into western societies which brings them into conflict with the native into conflict with the native into conflict with the native populations and therefore it is possible populations and therefore it is possible populations and therefore it is possible you have civil war as well as political you have civil war as well as political you have civil war as well as political violence violence violence and even the possibility of revolution. and even the possibility of revolution. and even the possibility of revolution. Okay. So these maps collectively paint a Okay. So these maps collectively paint a Okay. So these maps collectively paint a very grim picture of the world that very grim picture of the world that very grim picture of the world that we're we're living in. we're we're living in. we're we're living in. >> On this page here about immigration >> On this page here about immigration >> On this page here about immigration causing civil war political violence, causing civil war political violence, causing civil war political violence, revolution, won't it just be the case as revolution, won't it just be the case as revolution, won't it just be the case as we're seeing that these western we're seeing that these western we're seeing that these western societies will increas societies will increas societies will increas right-wing political parties, which is right-wing political parties, which is right-wing political parties, which is kind of what we're seeing. We're seeing, kind of what we're seeing. We're seeing, kind of what we're seeing. We're seeing, you know, parties in the UK like reform you know, parties in the UK like reform you know, parties in the UK like reform surge. I think there was news yesterday surge. I think there was news yesterday surge. I think there was news yesterday in Germany of the the political party in Germany of the the political party in Germany of the the political party there. We're seeing I mean we're seeing there. We're seeing I mean we're seeing there. We're seeing I mean we're seeing the same in the United States as well. the same in the United States as well. the same in the United States as well. >> That that's a fantastic point.

You know, MAGA being very dominant in the know, MAGA being very dominant in the know, MAGA being very dominant in the United States. We're seeing Vox in United States. We're seeing Vox in United States. We're seeing Vox in Spain. So, in theory, what's going to Spain. So, in theory, what's going to Spain. So, in theory, what's going to happen is these countries become much happen is these countries become much happen is these countries become much more right-wing and then they block out more right-wing and then they block out more right-wing and then they block out immigration because that that is their immigration because that that is their immigration because that that is their main policy platform. And that should main policy platform. And that should main policy platform. And that should stop the civil war.

  33. stop the civil war. stop the civil war. >> The problem is what do you do about your >> The problem is what do you do about your >> The problem is what do you do about your aging population? aging population? aging population? >> Robots. >> Robots. >> Robots. >> Exactly.

You have this you have this huge issue You have this you have this huge issue You have this you have this huge issue where in theory you could use robots but where in theory you could use robots but where in theory you could use robots but in the but when global supply chain in the but when global supply chain in the but when global supply chain breaks down you have to figure out the breaks down you have to figure out the breaks down you have to figure out the cheapest way to resolve the labor issue cheapest way to resolve the labor issue cheapest way to resolve the labor issue and the cheapest solution is and the cheapest solution is and the cheapest solution is immigration. Right? People I had to say immigration. Right? People I had to say immigration. Right? People I had to say this, but people are much cheaper and this, but people are much cheaper and this, but people are much cheaper and much more expendable than robots.

  34. So, So, I know this is a bit scary. I know this I know this is a bit scary. I know this I know this is a bit scary. I know this is really depressing, okay? But is really depressing, okay? But is really depressing, okay? But what if the United States were able to what if the United States were able to what if the United States were able to win this war in Iran and conduct regime win this war in Iran and conduct regime win this war in Iran and conduct regime change? Then our problems are solved. change? Then our problems are solved. change? Then our problems are solved. Right now, Iran is under the control of Right now, Iran is under the control of Right now, Iran is under the control of the United States and we're back to the United States and we're back to the United States and we're back to globalization where oil is able to flow globalization where oil is able to flow globalization where oil is able to flow to South uh Asia to East Asia and then to South uh Asia to East Asia and then to South uh Asia to East Asia and then they manufacture goods and then recycle they manufacture goods and then recycle they manufacture goods and then recycle their profits into the economy. And with their profits into the economy. And with their profits into the economy. And with all this money, AI is able to innovate all this money, AI is able to innovate all this money, AI is able to innovate to a point where we achieve AGI and then to a point where we achieve AGI and then to a point where we achieve AGI and then we solve all the world's problems. Okay. we solve all the world's problems. Okay. we solve all the world's problems. Okay. So what happens next with this whole So what happens next with this whole So what happens next with this whole Iran situation? Iran situation? Iran situation? >> So unfortunately >> So unfortunately >> So unfortunately it has now des momentum. All right. So it has now des momentum. All right. So it has now des momentum. All right. So let me explain what is most likely to let me explain what is most likely to let me explain what is most likely to happen. Okay. So you have Iran happen. Okay. So you have Iran happen. Okay. So you have Iran and you are now controlling the Shamus, and you are now controlling the Shamus, and you are now controlling the Shamus, right? You have the Houthis and they right? You have the Houthis and they right? You have the Houthis and they control the Bao and Mandad Strait. You control the Bao and Mandad Strait. You control the Bao and Mandad Strait. You have Hespala which can threaten the Suez have Hespala which can threaten the Suez have Hespala which can threaten the Suez Canal. You have the Shia militias Canal. You have the Shia militias Canal. You have the Shia militias that can also threaten the that can also threaten the that can also threaten the Mediterranean. Right? From a game theory

  35. Mediterranean. Right? From a game theory Mediterranean. Right? From a game theory perspective, perspective, perspective, what Iran should do next is take the what Iran should do next is take the what Iran should do next is take the initiative and disrupt all global trade. initiative and disrupt all global trade. initiative and disrupt all global trade. And the reason why is the US empire is And the reason why is the US empire is And the reason why is the US empire is based on the petro dollar. It's based on based on the petro dollar. It's based on based on the petro dollar. It's based on global trade. When you disrupt global global trade. When you disrupt global global trade. When you disrupt global trade at the same time, there's no way trade at the same time, there's no way trade at the same time, there's no way for the United States to respond. for the United States to respond. for the United States to respond. >> How could they disrupt global trade? >> How could they disrupt global trade? >> How could they disrupt global trade? what they can do is start to attack what they can do is start to attack what they can do is start to attack randomly. Okay. So what who can do is randomly. Okay. So what who can do is randomly. Okay. So what who can do is attack Saudi Arabia? attack Saudi Arabia? attack Saudi Arabia? Um Iraq can um attack Israel. Iran can Um Iraq can um attack Israel. Iran can Um Iraq can um attack Israel. Iran can attack the moves. Uh Hezbollah can attack the moves. Uh Hezbollah can attack the moves. Uh Hezbollah can attack the Sewish canal. Okay? And why attack the Sewish canal. Okay? And why attack the Sewish canal. Okay? And why you do that is you're creating you do that is you're creating you do that is you're creating uncertainty and chaos in the global uncertainty and chaos in the global uncertainty and chaos in the global trade system. Why is that important? trade system. Why is that important? trade system. Why is that important? Because the global trade system is built Because the global trade system is built Because the global trade system is built on confidence on confidence on confidence and that's what drives insurance. Okay?

  36. and that's what drives insurance. Okay? and that's what drives insurance. Okay?

What are your predictions? I've been What are your predictions? I've been What are your predictions? I've been dying to know. So I brought to you three dying to know. So I brought to you three dying to know. So I brought to you three predictions and because we are so close predictions and because we are so close predictions and because we are so close to the anniversary of 911 in New York to the anniversary of 911 in New York to the anniversary of 911 in New York City um I um structured these City um I um structured these City um I um structured these predictions around the anniversary and predictions around the anniversary and predictions around the anniversary and so these will be three fun but so these will be three fun but so these will be three fun but horrifying predictions. Okay. All right. horrifying predictions. Okay. All right. horrifying predictions. Okay. All right. So my prediction number one is there So my prediction number one is there So my prediction number one is there will be a siege of New York City. All will be a siege of New York City. All will be a siege of New York City. All right. So let me explain my logic. I was right. So let me explain my logic. I was right. So let me explain my logic. I was here last time and I said that Donald here last time and I said that Donald here last time and I said that Donald Trump will get a third term and he's Trump will get a third term and he's Trump will get a third term and he's been joking about it. He's been talking been joking about it. He's been talking been joking about it. He's been talking a lot about it. He's been socialing a lot about it. He's been socialing a lot about it. He's been socialing about it. And so let's imagine what about it. And so let's imagine what about it. And so let's imagine what happens if Trump gets a third term. happens if Trump gets a third term. happens if Trump gets a third term. Well, you would have a lot of pissed-off Well, you would have a lot of pissed-off Well, you would have a lot of pissed-off people, especially in the major cities people, especially in the major cities people, especially in the major cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, and New York City. We should Chicago, and New York City. We should Chicago, and New York City. We should probably just pause there because there probably just pause there because there probably just pause there because there is a a constitutional ban on serving is a a constitutional ban on serving is a a constitutional ban on serving three terms. The primary barrier being three terms. The primary barrier being three terms. The primary barrier being the 22nd amendment, which was ratified the 22nd amendment, which was ratified the 22nd amendment, which was ratified in 1951 by Franklin D. Roosevelt, um, in 1951 by Franklin D. Roosevelt, um, in 1951 by Franklin D. Roosevelt, um, who won four elections. It establishes a who won four elections. It establishes a who won four elections. It establishes a strict term limit for the presidency and strict term limit for the presidency and strict term limit for the presidency and the text in the 22nd amendment the text in the 22nd amendment the text in the 22nd amendment explicitly says no person shall be

  42. explicitly says no person shall be explicitly says no person shall be elected to the office of the president elected to the office of the president elected to the office of the president more than twice. more than twice. more than twice. So how could that happen? Well, So how could that happen? Well, So how could that happen? Well, let's just say there is a national let's just say there is a national let's just say there is a national emergency emergency emergency and the president is forced to suspend and the president is forced to suspend and the president is forced to suspend the constitution. the constitution. the constitution. Then he could theoretically Then he could theoretically Then he could theoretically have his third term. It's also possible have his third term. It's also possible have his third term. It's also possible that in 2028 he decides to run as the that in 2028 he decides to run as the that in 2028 he decides to run as the vice president and have his son Don Jr. vice president and have his son Don Jr. vice president and have his son Don Jr. run at the top of the ticket and then run at the top of the ticket and then run at the top of the ticket and then once the election is over then Don Jr. once the election is over then Don Jr. once the election is over then Don Jr. would resign and then Donald Trump would would resign and then Donald Trump would would resign and then Donald Trump would become the president and there's nothing become the president and there's nothing become the president and there's nothing in the constitution that prevents him in the constitution that prevents him in the constitution that prevents him from doing that. So there are two from doing that. So there are two from doing that. So there are two possibilities. There isn't anything in possibilities. There isn't anything in possibilities. There isn't anything in the constitution that allows the US the constitution that allows the US the constitution that allows the US president to suspend the constitution in president to suspend the constitution in president to suspend the constitution in a in a time of a national emergency. a in a time of a national emergency. a in a time of a national emergency. >> It's president. Um so for example during >> It's president. Um so for example during >> It's president. Um so for example during the American civil war Iran Lincoln was the American civil war Iran Lincoln was the American civil war Iran Lincoln was able to suspend habius corpus able to suspend habius corpus able to suspend habius corpus which is a constitutional right in the which is a constitutional right in the which is a constitutional right in the US constitution.

  43. US constitution. US constitution. And during World War II Franklin Delano And during World War II Franklin Delano And during World War II Franklin Delano Roosevelt also did many unconscious Roosevelt also did many unconscious Roosevelt also did many unconscious things. for example, interning the things. for example, interning the things. for example, interning the Japanese population uh in caps. [snorts] Japanese population uh in caps. [snorts] Japanese population uh in caps. [snorts] There's nothing the Supreme Court could There's nothing the Supreme Court could There's nothing the Supreme Court could do against uh this uh because a lot of do against uh this uh because a lot of do against uh this uh because a lot of US politics is convention. It's agreed US politics is convention. It's agreed US politics is convention. It's agreed upon norms. But if a US president is upon norms. But if a US president is upon norms. But if a US president is like, well, screw these conventions. like, well, screw these conventions. like, well, screw these conventions. There's nothing anyone else can do about There's nothing anyone else can do about There's nothing anyone else can do about it. All right. So let's imagine, okay, it. All right. So let's imagine, okay, it. All right. So let's imagine, okay, just for for the sake of this argument, just for for the sake of this argument, just for for the sake of this argument, Trump gets a third term. What will Trump gets a third term. What will Trump gets a third term. What will happen is these cities that are happen is these cities that are happen is these cities that are democratic democratic democratic will be an open revolt, meaning they will be an open revolt, meaning they will be an open revolt, meaning they will refuse to pay taxes to the federal will refuse to pay taxes to the federal will refuse to pay taxes to the federal government, but they will also not government, but they will also not government, but they will also not welcome ICE federal agents into their welcome ICE federal agents into their welcome ICE federal agents into their cities, cities, cities, which creates conflict between local law which creates conflict between local law which creates conflict between local law enforcement and federal law enforcement. enforcement and federal law enforcement. enforcement and federal law enforcement. And historically, if that were to happen And historically, if that were to happen And historically, if that were to happen then the president, US president usually then the president, US president usually then the president, US president usually thinks that he has responsibility to thinks that he has responsibility to thinks that he has responsibility to quash this insurrection, right? And so quash this insurrection, right? And so quash this insurrection, right? And so this would over time lead to the siege this would over time lead to the siege this would over time lead to the siege of New York City where may maybe federal of New York City where may maybe federal of New York City where may maybe federal forces along with possibly militias from forces along with possibly militias from forces along with possibly militias from other states, possibly red states that other states, possibly red states that other states, possibly red states that favor Trump. They would try to besiege favor Trump. They would try to besiege favor Trump. They would try to besiege New York City by cutting off the food New York City by cutting off the food New York City by cutting off the food supply and water supply to New York supply and water supply to New York supply and water supply to New York City. And this will be a conflict that City. And this will be a conflict that City. And this will be a conflict that could go on for years and years.

  44. could go on for years and years. could go on for years and years. >> And what year would that take place? >> And what year would that take place? >> And what year would that take place? 2028. 2028. 2028. It could happen right after um Trump It could happen right after um Trump It could happen right after um Trump secures his third term. secures his third term. secures his third term. >> Do you think Trump is going to have a >> Do you think Trump is going to have a >> Do you think Trump is going to have a third term? third term? third term? >> Um do you want to bet? >> Um do you want to bet? >> Um do you want to bet? >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> I think he'll get a third term. >> I think he'll get a third term. >> I think he'll get a third term. >> How much you want to bet? >> How much you want to bet? >> How much you want to bet? >> Let's take a friend bet and say $100. >> Let's take a friend bet and say $100. >> Let's take a friend bet and say $100. >> Do you know said this before, but I >> Do you know said this before, but I >> Do you know said this before, but I actually did have a bet with two random actually did have a bet with two random actually did have a bet with two random guys on Facebook.

Okay. So, let me explain my reasoning. Okay. So, let me explain my reasoning. Okay. So, let me explain my reasoning. What was 911? 911 was an act committed What was 911? 911 was an act committed What was 911? 911 was an act committed by terrorists in order to traumatize the by terrorists in order to traumatize the by terrorists in order to traumatize the population into self-destructive population into self-destructive population into self-destructive violence. violence. violence.

What I mean by that is you're violence. What I mean by that is you're violence. What I mean by that is you're taking the symbols of American power, taking the symbols of American power, taking the symbols of American power, which are like these airplanes which are like these airplanes which are like these airplanes >> as well as the Twin Towers. These are >> as well as the Twin Towers. These are >> as well as the Twin Towers. These are symbols of American power symbols of American power symbols of American power >> and the Pentagon.

  49. >> and the Pentagon. >> and the Pentagon. >> And the Pentagon and the White House and >> And the Pentagon and the White House and >> And the Pentagon and the White House and you're destroying them. you're destroying them. you're destroying them. And for the longest time, American And for the longest time, American And for the longest time, American people believed that these are symbols people believed that these are symbols people believed that these are symbols of American invisibility, our planes, of American invisibility, our planes, of American invisibility, our planes, our the Pentagon, the Twin Towers. And our the Pentagon, the Twin Towers. And our the Pentagon, the Twin Towers. And to see them destroyed like that would to see them destroyed like that would to see them destroyed like that would traumatize the population. In fact, it traumatize the population. In fact, it traumatize the population. In fact, it did traumatize many, many people. did traumatize many, many people. did traumatize many, many people. And the idea is you traumatize them into And the idea is you traumatize them into And the idea is you traumatize them into a self-destructive violence, which means a self-destructive violence, which means a self-destructive violence, which means like they want vengeance. And so what like they want vengeance. And so what like they want vengeance. And so what did they do? They went to the Middle did they do? They went to the Middle did they do? They went to the Middle East, fought against the Taliban and East, fought against the Taliban and East, fought against the Taliban and Afghanistan, then went to attack Iraq, Afghanistan, then went to attack Iraq, Afghanistan, then went to attack Iraq, then this war spread to Syria, Libya, then this war spread to Syria, Libya, then this war spread to Syria, Libya, and we can say that these 20 years of and we can say that these 20 years of and we can say that these 20 years of these forever wars in the Middle East these forever wars in the Middle East these forever wars in the Middle East have been very destructive for the have been very destructive for the have been very destructive for the United States.

So there is certain creativity to these people and I certain creativity to these people and I certain creativity to these people and I would not rule that out. But I'm just would not rule that out. But I'm just would not rule that out. But I'm just saying if another 911 happens, it is saying if another 911 happens, it is saying if another 911 happens, it is possible what we'll see is the possible what we'll see is the possible what we'll see is the destruction of the US financial destruction of the US financial destruction of the US financial infrastructure, which would drive infrastructure, which would drive infrastructure, which would drive millions of people into a mad frenzy. millions of people into a mad frenzy. millions of people into a mad frenzy.

They never told me why I was put in secondary, but he why I was put in secondary, but he why I was put in secondary, but he hinted at me that every time I come to hinted at me that every time I come to hinted at me that every time I come to United States, I will be put into United States, I will be put into United States, I will be put into secondary to make sure that I'm coming secondary to make sure that I'm coming secondary to make sure that I'm coming United States for legitimate reasons. United States for legitimate reasons. United States for legitimate reasons. Also, he hitted at me that it is Also, he hitted at me that it is Also, he hitted at me that it is possible that once my I94 expires in 6 possible that once my I94 expires in 6 possible that once my I94 expires in 6 months, they will not renew it, meaning months, they will not renew it, meaning months, they will not renew it, meaning they will not let allow me in the they will not let allow me in the they will not let allow me in the country anymore. I hope I come back to country anymore. I hope I come back to country anymore. I hope I come back to United States. I I have the deepest United States. I I have the deepest United States. I I have the deepest admiration for the American people. I admiration for the American people. I admiration for the American people. I think that the Americans are the most think that the Americans are the most think that the Americans are the most open and generous people in the world.

  57. open and generous people in the world. open and generous people in the world. But at the same time, I do appreciate But at the same time, I do appreciate But at the same time, I do appreciate that we are living in very interesting that we are living in very interesting that we are living in very interesting times. times. times. >> Prediction three. >> Prediction three. >> Prediction three. >> Okay. My third prediction >> Okay. My third prediction >> Okay. My third prediction is that is that is that Lionel Messi will become president of Lionel Messi will become president of Lionel Messi will become president of Argentina. Argentina. Argentina. >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. >> Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that. >> Yeah. So I wanted three new predictions >> Yeah. So I wanted three new predictions >> Yeah. So I wanted three new predictions that were fun and interesting for us to that were fun and interesting for us to that were fun and interesting for us to uh discuss. So why I make this uh discuss. So why I make this uh discuss. So why I make this prediction is prediction is prediction is that Argentina that Argentina that Argentina is working very closely with the United is working very closely with the United is working very closely with the United States and Israel at this moment. You States and Israel at this moment. You States and Israel at this moment. You are a British citizen, so you will are a British citizen, so you will are a British citizen, so you will appreciate that appreciate that appreciate that Argentina Argentina Argentina has recently demanded the return of the has recently demanded the return of the has recently demanded the return of the Faullands. Faullands. Faullands. And Donald Trump has voiced support to And Donald Trump has voiced support to And Donald Trump has voiced support to Argentina. Argentina. Argentina. So I'm asking myself, why are they so So I'm asking myself, why are they so So I'm asking myself, why are they so concerned about the Folklands? concerned about the Folklands? concerned about the Folklands? And not only that, but if you've been And not only that, but if you've been And not only that, but if you've been following the news, Hav Malay has become following the news, Hav Malay has become following the news, Hav Malay has become very close with Benjamin Benjamin very close with Benjamin Benjamin very close with Benjamin Benjamin Netanyahu. Argentina and Israel have Netanyahu. Argentina and Israel have Netanyahu. Argentina and Israel have very strong relations. In fact, very strong relations. In fact, very strong relations. In fact, Argentina is welcoming Israeli Argentina is welcoming Israeli Argentina is welcoming Israeli investment and immigration into investment and immigration into investment and immigration into Argentina.

  58. Argentina. Argentina. And apparently if you are an Israeli And apparently if you are an Israeli And apparently if you are an Israeli citizen and you go into Argentina and citizen and you go into Argentina and citizen and you go into Argentina and again you can fact check this but from again you can fact check this but from again you can fact check this but from what I understand you have immediate what I understand you have immediate what I understand you have immediate access to their healthcare as well as access to their healthcare as well as access to their healthcare as well as pension which makes actually no sense pension which makes actually no sense pension which makes actually no sense because they're not Argentina citizens because they're not Argentina citizens because they're not Argentina citizens right so it seems very much that right so it seems very much that right so it seems very much that Argentina is working very close with Argentina is working very close with Argentina is working very close with Israel and the United States and the Israel and the United States and the Israel and the United States and the reason why why I think that is and reason why why I think that is and reason why why I think that is and Argentina are working very close Argentina are working very close Argentina are working very close together is right now there's almost a together is right now there's almost a together is right now there's almost a civil war in Israel, when Misianic Jews civil war in Israel, when Misianic Jews civil war in Israel, when Misianic Jews who believe this war in the Middle East who believe this war in the Middle East who believe this war in the Middle East will usher in the end times and the will usher in the end times and the will usher in the end times and the coming of the Messiah, and secular Jews coming of the Messiah, and secular Jews coming of the Messiah, and secular Jews who are like, "These people are insane." who are like, "These people are insane." who are like, "These people are insane." And so, the only way to resolve this And so, the only way to resolve this And so, the only way to resolve this conflict is by exporting secular Jews conflict is by exporting secular Jews conflict is by exporting secular Jews elsewhere. And it seems to me, um, elsewhere. And it seems to me, um, elsewhere. And it seems to me, um, Argentina is a very good place to export Argentina is a very good place to export Argentina is a very good place to export them. So, but then you're like, okay, them. So, but then you're like, okay, them. So, but then you're like, okay, how do you get the people of Argentina how do you get the people of Argentina how do you get the people of Argentina to accept this massive immigration into to accept this massive immigration into to accept this massive immigration into into Argentina from Israel? Because into Argentina from Israel? Because into Argentina from Israel? Because Israel is not very popular in Argentina.

  59. Israel is not very popular in Argentina. Israel is not very popular in Argentina. I think the best way is to make Lionelo I think the best way is to make Lionelo I think the best way is to make Lionelo Messi the president of Argentina and his Messi the president of Argentina and his Messi the president of Argentina and his popularity will be enough to let all popularity will be enough to let all popularity will be enough to let all these Israelis into the country. Him as these Israelis into the country. Him as these Israelis into the country. Him as well as the reclaiming of the Faulland well as the reclaiming of the Faulland well as the reclaiming of the Faulland Islands, right? These two things, you Islands, right? These two things, you Islands, right? These two things, you know, the God of Argentina becomes know, the God of Argentina becomes know, the God of Argentina becomes president and Argentina reclaims the president and Argentina reclaims the president and Argentina reclaims the Faullands from the British. And I'm I Faullands from the British. And I'm I Faullands from the British. And I'm I apologize to you as as a British apologize to you as as a British apologize to you as as a British citizen. citizen. citizen. >> It's okay. I like Missy. Um, you you >> It's okay. I like Missy. Um, you you >> It's okay. I like Missy. Um, you you also mentioned to me that you think also mentioned to me that you think also mentioned to me that you think Japan is going to go to war with China. Japan is going to go to war with China. Japan is going to go to war with China. Well, China is going to go to war with Well, China is going to go to war with Well, China is going to go to war with Japan. Japan. Japan. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> What makes you think that? >> What makes you think that? >> What makes you think that? >> Well, because every Chinese believes >> Well, because every Chinese believes >> Well, because every Chinese believes this. [laughter] this. [laughter] this. [laughter] >> Yes. So, it's the funniest thing, but >> Yes. So, it's the funniest thing, but >> Yes. So, it's the funniest thing, but like for the longest time, people like for the longest time, people like for the longest time, people believe that China will eventually believe that China will eventually believe that China will eventually invade Taiwan. This is what's very invade Taiwan. This is what's very invade Taiwan. This is what's very commonly accepted in the West. But if commonly accepted in the West. But if commonly accepted in the West. But if you actually go to China, no Chinese you actually go to China, no Chinese you actually go to China, no Chinese actually believes this and no Taiwanese actually believes this and no Taiwanese actually believes this and no Taiwanese actually believes this because um this actually believes this because um this actually believes this because um this is not the way that China actually goes is not the way that China actually goes is not the way that China actually goes about its foreign policy. It does not go about its foreign policy. It does not go about its foreign policy. It does not go and invade other countries or in its and invade other countries or in its and invade other countries or in its most recent history it has not been that most recent history it has not been that most recent history it has not been that aggressive. The last war that China aggressive. The last war that China aggressive. The last war that China fought was in Vietnam. This was was in fought was in Vietnam. This was was in fought was in Vietnam. This was was in the mid early 80s. Okay, so this is a the mid early 80s. Okay, so this is a the mid early 80s. Okay, so this is a long time. [gasps] But if you go to long time. [gasps] But if you go to long time. [gasps] But if you go to China today, China today, China today, everyone believes that China and Japan everyone believes that China and Japan everyone believes that China and Japan will go to war. And to appreciate this,

  60. will go to war. And to appreciate this, will go to war. And to appreciate this, you have to understand the geography of you have to understand the geography of you have to understand the geography of Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia. >> Should you try to throw something up on >> Should you try to throw something up on >> Should you try to throw something up on the screen? the screen? the screen? >> Yeah. Okay. So, what I want to do is use >> Yeah. Okay. So, what I want to do is use >> Yeah. Okay. So, what I want to do is use geography to explain why conflict geography to explain why conflict geography to explain why conflict between China and Japan is inevitable at between China and Japan is inevitable at between China and Japan is inevitable at this point. Okay. So you have Japan, this point. Okay. So you have Japan, this point. Okay. So you have Japan, okay? And you have China. Okay. So the first thing to appreciate Okay. So the first thing to appreciate is that these are two very different is that these are two very different is that these are two very different countries. China is a land power that is countries. China is a land power that is countries. China is a land power that is self-sufficient. self-sufficient. self-sufficient. Japan is a sea power that is dependent Japan is a sea power that is dependent Japan is a sea power that is dependent on resources from abroad. So on resources from abroad. So on resources from abroad. So historically, China was primarily an historically, China was primarily an historically, China was primarily an agricultural nation. Japan in order to agricultural nation. Japan in order to agricultural nation. Japan in order to survive engage in piracy. So the survive engage in piracy. So the survive engage in piracy. So the Japanese have always been pretty Japanese have always been pretty Japanese have always been pretty militaristic. They have a very they had militaristic. They have a very they had militaristic. They have a very they had a cyber culture for the longest time. a cyber culture for the longest time. a cyber culture for the longest time. They were always at war with each other. They were always at war with each other. They were always at war with each other. Um and the Japanese people are extremely Um and the Japanese people are extremely Um and the Japanese people are extremely resilient and cohesive because the resilient and cohesive because the resilient and cohesive because the geography of Japan is very unstable.

  61. geography of Japan is very unstable. geography of Japan is very unstable. There's lots of earthquakes. There's lot There's lots of earthquakes. There's lot There's lots of earthquakes. There's lot tsunamis. So they have to work together tsunamis. So they have to work together tsunamis. So they have to work together as a people in order to survive. This is as a people in order to survive. This is as a people in order to survive. This is important because this war in Iran is important because this war in Iran is important because this war in Iran is affecting both China and Japan. China affecting both China and Japan. China affecting both China and Japan. China will probably have to de-industrialize. will probably have to de-industrialize. will probably have to de-industrialize. But if Japan doesn't do anything, then But if Japan doesn't do anything, then But if Japan doesn't do anything, then it's possible in the next 50 years Japan it's possible in the next 50 years Japan it's possible in the next 50 years Japan cease to exist. Because not only is cease to exist. Because not only is cease to exist. Because not only is Japan dependent on energy and imports Japan dependent on energy and imports Japan dependent on energy and imports and resources from overseas, but has an and resources from overseas, but has an and resources from overseas, but has an aging population, it has the most aging population, it has the most aging population, it has the most elderly population in the world. So in a elderly population in the world. So in a elderly population in the world. So in a time of war, when the United States is time of war, when the United States is time of war, when the United States is no longer able to give you protection, no longer able to give you protection, no longer able to give you protection, Japan needs to create resource colonies. Japan needs to create resource colonies. Japan needs to create resource colonies. And historically, Southeast Asia right And historically, Southeast Asia right And historically, Southeast Asia right here here here has been the main resource colony of has been the main resource colony of has been the main resource colony of Japan. If it doesn't have Southeast Japan. If it doesn't have Southeast Japan. If it doesn't have Southeast Asia, the United States now becomes the Asia, the United States now becomes the Asia, the United States now becomes the main benefactor of Japan. And Japan main benefactor of Japan. And Japan main benefactor of Japan. And Japan doesn't want to be in that position doesn't want to be in that position doesn't want to be in that position because that's what happened in World because that's what happened in World because that's what happened in World War II when uh Japan got most of its War II when uh Japan got most of its War II when uh Japan got most of its energy from the United States. And when energy from the United States. And when energy from the United States. And when the United States embargoled Japan, the United States embargoled Japan, the United States embargoled Japan, Japan was forced to declare war on the Japan was forced to declare war on the Japan was forced to declare war on the United States. Okay? Okay. So, United United States. Okay? Okay. So, United United States. Okay? Okay. So, United States can provide Japan with all its States can provide Japan with all its States can provide Japan with all its energy needs, but that would make Japan energy needs, but that would make Japan energy needs, but that would make Japan completely subservient. So, Japan wants completely subservient. So, Japan wants completely subservient. So, Japan wants to basically access the resources of to basically access the resources of to basically access the resources of Southeast Asia. There's a problem Southeast Asia. There's a problem Southeast Asia. There's a problem though, and that problem is called though, and that problem is called though, and that problem is called Taiwan.

  62. Taiwan. Taiwan. Taiwan is right in the middle Taiwan is right in the middle Taiwan is right in the middle of the South China Sea. And if China and of the South China Sea. And if China and of the South China Sea. And if China and Taiwan were to reunify, what China Taiwan were to reunify, what China Taiwan were to reunify, what China couldn't do now is embargo Japan. I'm couldn't do now is embargo Japan. I'm couldn't do now is embargo Japan. I'm not saying China will do so, but I'm not saying China will do so, but I'm not saying China will do so, but I'm saying that China has the option of saying that China has the option of saying that China has the option of doing so. And that's and Japan sees that doing so. And that's and Japan sees that doing so. And that's and Japan sees that as a threat to it existence. In fact, um as a threat to it existence. In fact, um as a threat to it existence. In fact, um a few a few a few >> say embargo. What does embargo mean? >> say embargo. What does embargo mean? >> say embargo. What does embargo mean? >> Embargo means you blockade. Okay. >> Embargo means you blockade. Okay. >> Embargo means you blockade. Okay. >> But if they did this, wouldn't the whole >> But if they did this, wouldn't the whole >> But if they did this, wouldn't the whole hell would break loose? You know, Japan hell would break loose? You know, Japan hell would break loose? You know, Japan are going to attack China. Taiwan, it's are going to attack China. Taiwan, it's are going to attack China. Taiwan, it's going to get messy. It's going to going to get messy. It's going to going to get messy. It's going to impact. I'm not saying that China would impact. I'm not saying that China would impact. I'm not saying that China would embargo Japan, but I'm saying it has the embargo Japan, but I'm saying it has the embargo Japan, but I'm saying it has the option of doing so. option of doing so. option of doing so. >> But you are saying that China is going >> But you are saying that China is going >> But you are saying that China is going to attack Japan. to attack Japan. to attack Japan. >> No, no, no, no. I'm saying there's a >> No, no, no, no. I'm saying there's a >> No, no, no, no. I'm saying there's a conflict between between these two conflict between between these two conflict between between these two nations. nations. nations. >> Okay. I thought you said it was >> Okay. I thought you said it was >> Okay. I thought you said it was inevitable. inevitable. inevitable. >> Yes. So, so let me explain how how this >> Yes. So, so let me explain how how this >> Yes. So, so let me explain how how this would draw, how this will play out. would draw, how this will play out. would draw, how this will play out. Okay. So, Okay. So, Okay. So, Japan sees Taiwan, the Taiwan issue as Japan sees Taiwan, the Taiwan issue as Japan sees Taiwan, the Taiwan issue as vital to its national security interest.

  63. vital to its national security interest. vital to its national security interest. And that's what exactly what Prime And that's what exactly what Prime And that's what exactly what Prime Minister Taki said a few months ago. And Minister Taki said a few months ago. And Minister Taki said a few months ago. And when she made that statement, China when she made that statement, China when she made that statement, China overreacted. So before you had millions overreacted. So before you had millions overreacted. So before you had millions of tourists from China visiting Japan a of tourists from China visiting Japan a of tourists from China visiting Japan a year. Now most of them are not allowed year. Now most of them are not allowed year. Now most of them are not allowed to go to Japan. to go to Japan. to go to Japan. And it's very likely that China and And it's very likely that China and And it's very likely that China and Japan will have a conflict over Taiwan. Japan will have a conflict over Taiwan. Japan will have a conflict over Taiwan. Now the thing to remember is it does not Now the thing to remember is it does not Now the thing to remember is it does not benefit any nation here to a war because benefit any nation here to a war because benefit any nation here to a war because as you point out all chaos would break as you point out all chaos would break as you point out all chaos would break out. What you need to do is create out. What you need to do is create out. What you need to do is create leverage to negotiate better terms. leverage to negotiate better terms. leverage to negotiate better terms. Okay. So what Japan is doing is saying Okay. So what Japan is doing is saying Okay. So what Japan is doing is saying okay look we can't take on China okay look we can't take on China okay look we can't take on China directly because China is too powerful directly because China is too powerful directly because China is too powerful but what what we can do is build but what what we can do is build but what what we can do is build alliances to possibly challenge and if alliances to possibly challenge and if alliances to possibly challenge and if we have to embargo China right so what we have to embargo China right so what we have to embargo China right so what Japan is doing is build alliance with Japan is doing is build alliance with Japan is doing is build alliance with the Philippines the Philippines the Philippines and Australia and Australia and Australia and India and India and India and together these four nations even and together these four nations even and together these four nations even without the United States they could in without the United States they could in without the United States they could in theory choose to embargo China theory choose to embargo China theory choose to embargo China right what Japan needs is access to right what Japan needs is access to right what Japan needs is access to Southeast Asia because that will be the Southeast Asia because that will be the Southeast Asia because that will be the main source of its resources going into main source of its resources going into main source of its resources going into the future so that is the scenario being

  64. the future so that is the scenario being the future so that is the scenario being played out now China does not want to played out now China does not want to played out now China does not want to come into a conflict with Japan why come into a conflict with Japan why come into a conflict with Japan why because China is seen as the big bad because China is seen as the big bad because China is seen as the big bad dragon in this area and if China is seen dragon in this area and if China is seen dragon in this area and if China is seen as too provocative that would basically as too provocative that would basically as too provocative that would basically incentivize all of Southeast Asia to incentivize all of Southeast Asia to incentivize all of Southeast Asia to gang up on China. So you can see gang up on China. So you can see gang up on China. So you can see alliance between India, Southeast Asia, alliance between India, Southeast Asia, alliance between India, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, South Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, South Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, South Korea, North Korea, Japan versus China. Korea, North Korea, Japan versus China. Korea, North Korea, Japan versus China. Okay. So the way to resolve this issue Okay. So the way to resolve this issue Okay. So the way to resolve this issue is to use a proxy is to use a proxy is to use a proxy in order to threaten Japan in order to in order to threaten Japan in order to in order to threaten Japan in order to uh develop more leverage uh develop more leverage uh develop more leverage over Japan in negotiations, over Japan in negotiations, over Japan in negotiations, >> right? And that proxy of course is North >> right? And that proxy of course is North >> right? And that proxy of course is North Korea. Korea. Korea. So, North Korea So, North Korea So, North Korea has the potential to shell South Korea has the potential to shell South Korea has the potential to shell South Korea because most of the population of South because most of the population of South because most of the population of South Korea lives within 20 minutes of North Korea lives within 20 minutes of North Korea lives within 20 minutes of North Korea. And so, in theory, North Korea Korea. And so, in theory, North Korea Korea. And so, in theory, North Korea could flatten Soul in just a day. Okay.

  65. could flatten Soul in just a day. Okay. could flatten Soul in just a day. Okay. Most of North Korean artillery is Most of North Korean artillery is Most of North Korean artillery is actually by the border. What North Korea actually by the border. What North Korea actually by the border. What North Korea could also do is lobby missiles into the could also do is lobby missiles into the could also do is lobby missiles into the Sea of Japan and rattle the Japanese. Sea of Japan and rattle the Japanese. Sea of Japan and rattle the Japanese. Okay, so this is the dynamic being Okay, so this is the dynamic being Okay, so this is the dynamic being played out where Japan through its played out where Japan through its played out where Japan through its proxies primarily Philippines is proxies primarily Philippines is proxies primarily Philippines is challenging Chinese naval dominance in challenging Chinese naval dominance in challenging Chinese naval dominance in the South China Sea and China will use the South China Sea and China will use the South China Sea and China will use North Korea as a proxy to threaten South North Korea as a proxy to threaten South North Korea as a proxy to threaten South Korea and Japan. Over time, as the Korea and Japan. Over time, as the Korea and Japan. Over time, as the United States retreats from uh the United States retreats from uh the United States retreats from uh the Asia-Pacific, this conflict between Asia-Pacific, this conflict between Asia-Pacific, this conflict between China and Japan will get worse and China and Japan will get worse and China and Japan will get worse and worse. And the reason main reason why is worse. And the reason main reason why is worse. And the reason main reason why is it is in the strategic best interest of it is in the strategic best interest of it is in the strategic best interest of the United States to ferment as much the United States to ferment as much the United States to ferment as much tension between China and Japan as tension between China and Japan as tension between China and Japan as possible. possible. possible. >> But it could compromise Taiwan. No, >> But it could compromise Taiwan. No, >> But it could compromise Taiwan. No, >> who cares? >> who cares? >> who cares? >> The US care about Taiwan? >> The US care about Taiwan? >> The US care about Taiwan? >> No, it doesn't. I thought that's who we >> No, it doesn't. I thought that's who we >> No, it doesn't. I thought that's who we get all of our semiconductors from.

  66. get all of our semiconductors from. get all of our semiconductors from. >> But what does Trump want to do? He wants >> But what does Trump want to do? He wants >> But what does Trump want to do? He wants the Taiwanese to move their the Taiwanese to move their the Taiwanese to move their semiconductor industry to the United semiconductor industry to the United semiconductor industry to the United States. And that's already happening States. And that's already happening States. And that's already happening where TSMC, where TSMC, where TSMC, the main semiconductor u company in the main semiconductor u company in the main semiconductor u company in Taiwan, is open a I believe it's 2020 20 Taiwan, is open a I believe it's 2020 20 Taiwan, is open a I believe it's 2020 20 billion new factory in Arizona. So if billion new factory in Arizona. So if billion new factory in Arizona. So if there's a conflict between China and there's a conflict between China and there's a conflict between China and Japan, the the tension becomes worse and Japan, the the tension becomes worse and Japan, the the tension becomes worse and worse, the Taiwanese semiconductor worse, the Taiwanese semiconductor worse, the Taiwanese semiconductor industry, it would be forced to relocate industry, it would be forced to relocate industry, it would be forced to relocate the United States, would be in the best the United States, would be in the best the United States, would be in the best interests of the Americans. interests of the Americans. interests of the Americans. >> You also think that um Russia are going >> You also think that um Russia are going >> You also think that um Russia are going to invade the Baltics. to invade the Baltics. to invade the Baltics. >> Yeah. Okay. So now we'll shift focus and >> Yeah. Okay. So now we'll shift focus and >> Yeah. Okay. So now we'll shift focus and go into Europe. All right. Okay. But but go into Europe. All right. Okay. But but go into Europe. All right. Okay. But but is this pretty clear? is this pretty clear? is this pretty clear? >> Yes, it is clear. >> Yes, it is clear. >> Yes, it is clear. >> Okay. Right now you have NATO or Europe >> Okay. Right now you have NATO or Europe >> Okay. Right now you have NATO or Europe supporting Ukraine supporting Ukraine supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.

  67. in its war against Russia. in its war against Russia. Okay. And most of this war is actually Okay. And most of this war is actually Okay. And most of this war is actually happening in eastern Ukraine. And Russia happening in eastern Ukraine. And Russia happening in eastern Ukraine. And Russia seems to be winning a lot of territory seems to be winning a lot of territory seems to be winning a lot of territory in eastern Ukraine. But everybody's in eastern Ukraine. But everybody's in eastern Ukraine. But everybody's saying that Ukraine are fighting back saying that Ukraine are fighting back saying that Ukraine are fighting back really really well. really really well. really really well. >> The reason why is what Ukraine has >> The reason why is what Ukraine has >> The reason why is what Ukraine has chosen to do in these past few months chosen to do in these past few months chosen to do in these past few months which has which has changed the contours which has which has changed the contours which has which has changed the contours of the war is Ukraine is using drones to of the war is Ukraine is using drones to of the war is Ukraine is using drones to attack Russia's energy infrastructure attack Russia's energy infrastructure attack Russia's energy infrastructure >> and just hitting Russia in general is >> and just hitting Russia in general is >> and just hitting Russia in general is making the people of Russia change their making the people of Russia change their making the people of Russia change their perception. perception. perception. >> Exactly. Right. So before this conflict >> Exactly. Right. So before this conflict >> Exactly. Right. So before this conflict was contained to eastern Ukraine, it was contained to eastern Ukraine, it was contained to eastern Ukraine, it didn't affect the people of Russia. In didn't affect the people of Russia. In didn't affect the people of Russia. In fact, it really was helping the economy fact, it really was helping the economy fact, it really was helping the economy of Russia because Russia could still of Russia because Russia could still of Russia because Russia could still export its oil around the world. Now, export its oil around the world. Now, export its oil around the world. Now, Ukraine, what Ukraine is doing is using Ukraine, what Ukraine is doing is using Ukraine, what Ukraine is doing is using drones to attack the war refineries of drones to attack the war refineries of drones to attack the war refineries of Russia, which is causing economic pain Russia, which is causing economic pain Russia, which is causing economic pain on the Russian people and this is making on the Russian people and this is making on the Russian people and this is making uh Putin increasingly unpopular. Okay?

  68. uh Putin increasingly unpopular. Okay? uh Putin increasingly unpopular. Okay? So, the contour of the war has changed. So, the contour of the war has changed. So, the contour of the war has changed. So if you're Russia and you're looking So if you're Russia and you're looking So if you're Russia and you're looking at this, you think your enemy is not at this, you think your enemy is not at this, you think your enemy is not Ukraine. You think your enemy is NATO Ukraine. You think your enemy is NATO Ukraine. You think your enemy is NATO Europe. Why? Because Ukraine the drones Europe. Why? Because Ukraine the drones Europe. Why? Because Ukraine the drones are being manufactured are being manufactured are being manufactured in Germany in Germany in Germany and the UK and other places as well. So and the UK and other places as well. So and the UK and other places as well. So in theory, Ukraine could fight this war in theory, Ukraine could fight this war in theory, Ukraine could fight this war to infinity because its manufacturing to infinity because its manufacturing to infinity because its manufacturing hub is in Europe. Europe is is is also hub is in Europe. Europe is is is also hub is in Europe. Europe is is is also providing Ukraine with infinite providing Ukraine with infinite providing Ukraine with infinite financing as well as intelligence. Okay. financing as well as intelligence. Okay. financing as well as intelligence. Okay. So, if you're Russia, you're like, "Wait So, if you're Russia, you're like, "Wait So, if you're Russia, you're like, "Wait a minute here. Over time, we can't a minute here. Over time, we can't a minute here. Over time, we can't possibly win this war of attrition possibly win this war of attrition possibly win this war of attrition because we're funding Europe and because we're funding Europe and because we're funding Europe and Europe's manufacturing Europe's manufacturing Europe's manufacturing capacity is well protected behind the capacity is well protected behind the capacity is well protected behind the NATO alliance." Okay. So what I need to NATO alliance." Okay. So what I need to NATO alliance." Okay. So what I need to do is provoke NATO and Europe into do is provoke NATO and Europe into do is provoke NATO and Europe into coming into Ukraine. Basically force coming into Ukraine. Basically force coming into Ukraine. Basically force them out of their shell shell, right?

  69. them out of their shell shell, right? them out of their shell shell, right? And so what's been happening is Germany And so what's been happening is Germany And so what's been happening is Germany and Russia have been in conflict these and Russia have been in conflict these and Russia have been in conflict these past few months. In early August, past few months. In early August, past few months. In early August, there's a drone attack on Libig airport. there's a drone attack on Libig airport. there's a drone attack on Libig airport. Okay, Libig airport. Okay, Libig airport. Okay, Libig airport. and the Germans blamed the Russians and and the Germans blamed the Russians and and the Germans blamed the Russians and in response the Germans closed down the in response the Germans closed down the in response the Germans closed down the Russ Russian consulate in Bond as well Russ Russian consulate in Bond as well Russ Russian consulate in Bond as well as remove certain Russians from uh as remove certain Russians from uh as remove certain Russians from uh Germany. Russia is retaliating by Germany. Russia is retaliating by Germany. Russia is retaliating by closing the German consulate in St. closing the German consulate in St. closing the German consulate in St. Petersburg and the Russian foreign Petersburg and the Russian foreign Petersburg and the Russian foreign minister S Lav have have said we are in minister S Lav have have said we are in minister S Lav have have said we are in a similar situation to 1941. What a similar situation to 1941. What a similar situation to 1941. What happened in 1941? the Germans invaded happened in 1941? the Germans invaded happened in 1941? the Germans invaded Russia. Okay, so in other words, Russia Russia. Okay, so in other words, Russia Russia. Okay, so in other words, Russia recognizes that if they just leave recognizes that if they just leave recognizes that if they just leave Europe alone and just fight this war in Europe alone and just fight this war in Europe alone and just fight this war in Ukraine, they will lose in the end, so Ukraine, they will lose in the end, so Ukraine, they will lose in the end, so they must force and provoke Europe into they must force and provoke Europe into they must force and provoke Europe into mass mobilization to defend Ukraine. And mass mobilization to defend Ukraine. And mass mobilization to defend Ukraine. And one way to do that is by hitting one way to do that is by hitting one way to do that is by hitting critical manufacturing infrastructure critical manufacturing infrastructure critical manufacturing infrastructure within Europe. Do you think Russia within Europe. Do you think Russia within Europe. Do you think Russia Russia's next move is to attack within Russia's next move is to attack within Russia's next move is to attack within NATO, Germany, the UK, etc.?

Jared deal at the moment, aren't they? Jared Kushner is apparently trying to get a Kushner is apparently trying to get a Kushner is apparently trying to get a deal done between Ukraine and Russia. deal done between Ukraine and Russia. deal done between Ukraine and Russia. And so, if the United States, do you And so, if the United States, do you And so, if the United States, do you want peace between Europe and Russia, or want peace between Europe and Russia, or want peace between Europe and Russia, or do you want war between Europe and do you want war between Europe and do you want war between Europe and Russia? Well, from a gameplay Russia? Well, from a gameplay Russia? Well, from a gameplay perspective, you're better off with war. perspective, you're better off with war. perspective, you're better off with war. Why? Because if there's war, Russia Why? Because if there's war, Russia Why? Because if there's war, Russia can't sell it energy overseas. can't sell it energy overseas. can't sell it energy overseas. United States has monopoly over energy United States has monopoly over energy United States has monopoly over energy now, right? now, right? now, right? >> This causes global instability, though. >> This causes global instability, though. >> This causes global instability, though. If there's a war here, then it's going If there's a war here, then it's going If there's a war here, then it's going to impact the US in a big way. to impact the US in a big way. to impact the US in a big way. >> Well, then why the United States invade >> Well, then why the United States invade >> Well, then why the United States invade Iran, right? Because they thought it Iran, right? Because they thought it Iran, right? Because they thought it would be an overnight Venezuela would be an overnight Venezuela would be an overnight Venezuela situation where you decapitate the situation where you decapitate the situation where you decapitate the leadership, everyone rises up, you have leadership, everyone rises up, you have leadership, everyone rises up, you have a favorable leader in the country that a favorable leader in the country that a favorable leader in the country that you is subservient to you. you is subservient to you. you is subservient to you. >> Great. Exactly. And this is exactly how >> Great. Exactly. And this is exactly how >> Great. Exactly. And this is exactly how the empire thinks, right? We already the empire thinks, right? We already the empire thinks, right? We already used this formula, right? Yeah. used this formula, right? Yeah. used this formula, right? Yeah. >> Now, if we apply this formula to Europe >> Now, if we apply this formula to Europe >> Now, if we apply this formula to Europe situation, then the thinking is, well, situation, then the thinking is, well, situation, then the thinking is, well, Putin is a paper tiger. He is very Putin is a paper tiger. He is very Putin is a paper tiger. He is very unpopular at home. If we just force this unpopular at home. If we just force this unpopular at home. If we just force this war for another two months, if we war for another two months, if we war for another two months, if we continue to attack the energy continue to attack the energy continue to attack the energy infrastructure of Russia, then infrastructure of Russia, then infrastructure of Russia, then eventually people will rise up and eventually people will rise up and eventually people will rise up and overthrow Putin. Right? The same logic.

  71. overthrow Putin. Right? The same logic. overthrow Putin. Right? The same logic. >> So therefore, Trump wants the Ukraine to >> So therefore, Trump wants the Ukraine to >> So therefore, Trump wants the Ukraine to win win win or he wants Ukraine to keep doing what or he wants Ukraine to keep doing what or he wants Ukraine to keep doing what they're doing. they're doing. they're doing. >> Well, Trump personally doesn't care, >> Well, Trump personally doesn't care, >> Well, Trump personally doesn't care, right? Because the more war there is, right? Because the more war there is, right? Because the more war there is, the more the Europeans are forced to the more the Europeans are forced to the more the Europeans are forced to rely on American energy. rely on American energy. rely on American energy. >> Okay? >> Okay? >> Okay? >> So, if you're Putin, what you need to do >> So, if you're Putin, what you need to do >> So, if you're Putin, what you need to do is force the Europeans into war in is force the Europeans into war in is force the Europeans into war in Ukraine. Why? Because there's only Ukraine. Why? Because there's only Ukraine. Why? Because there's only really only one path to victory in this really only one path to victory in this really only one path to victory in this scenario. scenario. scenario. The path of victory is to cause The path of victory is to cause The path of victory is to cause instability instability instability and violence and violence and violence in Europe. Okay. The idea is if you in Europe. Okay. The idea is if you in Europe. Okay. The idea is if you force Europe to mass mobilize, the force Europe to mass mobilize, the force Europe to mass mobilize, the people would rather overthrow the people would rather overthrow the people would rather overthrow the government than agree to take up arms government than agree to take up arms government than agree to take up arms against Russia. That's a theory. Okay. against Russia. That's a theory. Okay. against Russia. That's a theory. Okay. But Russia has exactly one path to But Russia has exactly one path to But Russia has exactly one path to victory and that is to cause as much victory and that is to cause as much victory and that is to cause as much instability and violence as possible instability and violence as possible instability and violence as possible within Europe. The best way to do that within Europe. The best way to do that within Europe. The best way to do that is by forcing the Europeans to mass is by forcing the Europeans to mass is by forcing the Europeans to mass mobilize their population. Okay? But for mobilize their population. Okay? But for mobilize their population. Okay? But for that to happen, what Russia needs to do that to happen, what Russia needs to do that to happen, what Russia needs to do first is declare total war.

  72. first is declare total war. first is declare total war. What total war means is the mass What total war means is the mass What total war means is the mass mobilization mobilization mobilization of your society. So what's important for of your society. So what's important for of your society. So what's important for us to appreciate is so far Russia has us to appreciate is so far Russia has us to appreciate is so far Russia has not declared war on Ukraine. It is a not declared war on Ukraine. It is a not declared war on Ukraine. It is a special military operation special military operation special military operation which means that Russia is relying on which means that Russia is relying on which means that Russia is relying on volunteers to fight this war. In a time volunteers to fight this war. In a time volunteers to fight this war. In a time of total war, Russia could mobilize its of total war, Russia could mobilize its of total war, Russia could mobilize its ADA population. And we estimate there ADA population. And we estimate there ADA population. And we estimate there are at least three million are at least three million are at least three million reser in Russia ready to be called up to reser in Russia ready to be called up to reser in Russia ready to be called up to arms. Mass mobilization in Russia would arms. Mass mobilization in Russia would arms. Mass mobilization in Russia would force mass mobilization in Europe. And force mass mobilization in Europe. And force mass mobilization in Europe. And this is how the war is most likely uh this is how the war is most likely uh this is how the war is most likely uh will most likely turn out. will most likely turn out. will most likely turn out.

In 1995, we lived in a world of neoliberalism, lived in a world of neoliberalism, lived in a world of neoliberalism, something called Washington Census. And something called Washington Census. And something called Washington Census. And the idea is we have developed a new the idea is we have developed a new the idea is we have developed a new model of history. If people just traded model of history. If people just traded model of history. If people just traded with each other and consumers just with each other and consumers just with each other and consumers just bought goods, we would have peace bought goods, we would have peace bought goods, we would have peace forever.

Okay, this is what we call neoliberalism, Washington consensus. neoliberalism, Washington consensus. neoliberalism, Washington consensus. And Bill Clinton And Bill Clinton And Bill Clinton was the main proponent was the main proponent was the main proponent of this idea. And in order to achieve of this idea. And in order to achieve of this idea. And in order to achieve this vision for global peace, what he this vision for global peace, what he this vision for global peace, what he did was promote the Oslo peace process did was promote the Oslo peace process did was promote the Oslo peace process which sought to create a two-state which sought to create a two-state which sought to create a two-state solution and bring peace in the Middle solution and bring peace in the Middle solution and bring peace in the Middle East. Right? The two-state solution is East. Right? The two-state solution is East. Right? The two-state solution is the Palestinians and the Israelis agreed the Palestinians and the Israelis agreed the Palestinians and the Israelis agreed to live side by side. And at that time to live side by side. And at that time to live side by side. And at that time the main thinking was the main thinking was the main thinking was that once peace happened in the Middle that once peace happened in the Middle that once peace happened in the Middle East once a two-state solution was East once a two-state solution was East once a two-state solution was created then they would start to trade created then they would start to trade created then they would start to trade with each other. Israel and Palestine be with each other. Israel and Palestine be with each other. Israel and Palestine be brought into the GCC and they would be brought into the GCC and they would be brought into the GCC and they would be part of the global supply chain and once part of the global supply chain and once part of the global supply chain and once prosperity comes to Israel and Palestine prosperity comes to Israel and Palestine prosperity comes to Israel and Palestine they would have no need to ever hate

  74. they would have no need to ever hate they would have no need to ever hate each other again. This is called the each other again. This is called the each other again. This is called the also peace process. Okay. And again at also peace process. Okay. And again at also peace process. Okay. And again at that time this was just how policymakers that time this was just how policymakers that time this was just how policymakers in Washington understood the world in Washington understood the world in Washington understood the world right? It worked in China. It worked in right? It worked in China. It worked in right? It worked in China. It worked in Japan. It worked in Germany. The Japan Japan. It worked in Germany. The Japan Japan. It worked in Germany. The Japan and Germany were these really militant and Germany were these really militant and Germany were these really militant nation states. But then we allowed them nation states. But then we allowed them nation states. But then we allowed them to trade. We allowed their consumers to to trade. We allowed their consumers to to trade. We allowed their consumers to have air conditioning SUVs and now have air conditioning SUVs and now have air conditioning SUVs and now they're just really peaceful people. So they're just really peaceful people. So they're just really peaceful people. So why can't we do the same thing in Israel why can't we do the same thing in Israel why can't we do the same thing in Israel and Palestine? So what is the clean and Palestine? So what is the clean and Palestine? So what is the clean break theory? What? What in a sentence? break theory? What? What in a sentence? break theory? What?

And that foremost to be truly human. And that means living a life of love, empathy, means living a life of love, empathy, means living a life of love, empathy, and imagination. And so, we go back to and imagination. And so, we go back to and imagination. And so, we go back to that formula where if you have too much that formula where if you have too much that formula where if you have too much wealth, you have too much fame, you have wealth, you have too much fame, you have wealth, you have too much fame, you have too much power, it's impossible for you too much power, it's impossible for you too much power, it's impossible for you to truly have imagination, empathy, and to truly have imagination, empathy, and to truly have imagination, empathy, and love. love. love. So, how do you correct this? Will you So, how do you correct this? Will you So, how do you correct this? Will you create a world of crisis? Because in a create a world of crisis? Because in a create a world of crisis? Because in a world of crisis, everyone, you and me, world of crisis, everyone, you and me, world of crisis, everyone, you and me, we're forced to look deep down and ask we're forced to look deep down and ask we're forced to look deep down and ask ourselves, what is truly important to ourselves, what is truly important to ourselves, what is truly important to me? me? me? What gives me happiness? What is meaning What gives me happiness? What is meaning What gives me happiness? What is meaning and purpose in my life? And I think the and purpose in my life? And I think the and purpose in my life? And I think the answer is it's my love for the people answer is it's my love for the people answer is it's my love for the people around me. And that's the answer that we around me. And that's the answer that we around me. And that's the answer that we will all come to. And once we come to will all come to. And once we come to will all come to. And once we come to this um answer, then I think that is the this um answer, then I think that is the this um answer, then I think that is the great spiritual awakening that could great spiritual awakening that could great spiritual awakening that could possibly redeem all of humanity.

  82. possibly redeem all of humanity. possibly redeem all of humanity. >> Professor, what's the most um pertinent >> Professor, what's the most um pertinent >> Professor, what's the most um pertinent thing that's front of mind for you at thing that's front of mind for you at thing that's front of mind for you at the moment that we haven't talked about? the moment that we haven't talked about? the moment that we haven't talked about? >> Well, I mean, we did talk about the >> Well, I mean, we did talk about the >> Well, I mean, we did talk about the coming conflict between China and Japan, coming conflict between China and Japan, coming conflict between China and Japan, and I worry a lot about that. and I worry a lot about that. and I worry a lot about that. >> What about AI? We didn't talk about that >> What about AI? We didn't talk about that >> What about AI? We didn't talk about that and that's kind of overlaid on all of and that's kind of overlaid on all of and that's kind of overlaid on all of the stories we've talked about because the stories we've talked about because the stories we've talked about because it's to do with robotics, it's energy, it's to do with robotics, it's energy, it's to do with robotics, it's energy, it's semiconductors, chips, it's US, it's semiconductors, chips, it's US, it's semiconductors, chips, it's US, China. Yeah. So that's a great question. China. Yeah. So that's a great question. China. Yeah. So that's a great question. Um and so if we go back and talk about Um and so if we go back and talk about Um and so if we go back and talk about global supply chains, this formula is global supply chains, this formula is global supply chains, this formula is very important to understand. Technology very important to understand. Technology very important to understand. Technology equals specialization times equals specialization times equals specialization times globalization. So in a time when global globalization. So in a time when global globalization. So in a time when global supply chains are breaking down in time supply chains are breaking down in time supply chains are breaking down in time of war AI cannot make that leap into of war AI cannot make that leap into of war AI cannot make that leap into AGI. So what will happen is AGI. So what will happen is AGI.

How AI is almost the human experience. How AI is almost dehumanizing because what people like dehumanizing because what people like dehumanizing because what people like Ellen Mus and Peter Theo and Soman are Ellen Mus and Peter Theo and Soman are Ellen Mus and Peter Theo and Soman are saying is computers are so much smarter saying is computers are so much smarter saying is computers are so much smarter than us. And it could be true that AI than us. And it could be true that AI than us.
