Good morning, everybody, Happy Thursday. Have an amazing 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.400 show for a buddy today. What do we Crystal? 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:38.000 Indeed we do. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.120 The MLU with Iran has been signed in Versailles, and 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.000 Trump gave a wild press conference that we want to 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.200 spend some time with some some very very interesting things. 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.800 That is part of why we are in day whatever. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.360 I don't know at this point of the complete Zio meltdown, 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.000 but they have decided to train their ire on one man. 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.680 That man is not Donald Trump. It is Jade Vance. 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.080 So that is an interesting political dynamic that we want 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.360 to take into. We're also really excited to be joined 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.880 by the editor of Omwadge Media. They have had a 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.840 number of really significant scoops over the course of the 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.040 Iran War, and so we're going to dig into the 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.200 details of this memo of understanding what it says, what 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.760 it doesn't say, what it means in terms of the 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.960 possibilities of war and peace going forward. 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.240 So very much looking forward to that. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.920 Trump's new FED chair has been part of the decision 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.520 to keep rates the same in a significant announcement yesterday. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.039 Of course, Trump has been agitating aggressively for rights to 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.440 be cut, so we'll see what he had to say 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.640 on the matter. And the membership list of Peter Thiel's 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.360 Secret Society has been leaked as well as an eye brazing, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:48.160 eyebrow racing, eye brathing eyebrow agenda for their next confabs. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.440 So a lot of very influential, powerful names on both 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.640 sides of the aisle that have been revealed as part 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.240 of that exclusive club set. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.920 Certainly, and maybe they'll meet next in Argentina where he 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.840 currently was.

But let's go ahead and start, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.000 like you said, with the Memorandum of Understanding that has 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.799 now been signed in Versa Ell. Here it is in 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.120 all of its pomp and circumstance, Donald Trump. They're signing 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:41.799 the Memorandum of Understanding in the hall. Yes, I think 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.919 each's some Farsi some new English translation there as well. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.440 Everybody is clapping, surrounded by world leaders. The Secretary of 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.840 State right behind him, and Macron leads two rounds of 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.040 applause and cries of bravo as the document is signed. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.600 You know, I'll hold some of my historical commentary here 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.440 on Versa I here for a moment. But it is 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.760 nonetheless extraordinary. One of the reasons why it is being 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.000 signed electronically and being transmitted between both sides is because 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.160 they want immediate resumption of the passage of traffic through 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.519 the Strait of Horror Moods, which as of this morning, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.680 three Saudi tankers appear to be making their way through 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.680 the Strait of hornor Moves. So it does show us that, 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.040 you know, some traffic is beginning to resume. And on 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.520 the other side, the Iranians know that the moment it's 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.839 actually signed considered official, that they get the release of 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.440 some of their funds, which Trump of course address. But 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.160 as you said, we had a wild Trump press conference 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.720 which preceded all of this. It's like somebody injected truth 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.680 serum into him and all of a sudden, you know, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.920 the gaff is when a politician tells the truth, and 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.560 there were a lot of gaffes I think throughout this 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.520 entire one. First and foremost is Trump here on nuclear enrichment, 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.800 being like, yeah, maybe we won't let them enrich a 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.000 little bit. Let's take a listen. 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.360 We've been pretty tough in that. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:57.960 You know. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.440 It's also it is a little hard though, when you 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.200 say that somebody wants to other people have it, other 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.880 adjoining states have it, and you're not letting them have 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.320 it for purposes of electricity and things like that. It's 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.880 always a little tough. You have to use a little 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.200 common SENSI please. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.119 Yeah, I agree, got to use common sense. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.040 Agreed, Yeah, yeah, I mean. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.880 Restauraw is their right to enrich for civilian purposes. But 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.520 pre up to this moment, you know, if you said that, 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:29.040 you were mostly like, you know, a fringe lefty, usually radical, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.279 and now here you have the president like, well, you know, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.680 I mean, let's be reasonable a lot about this. Why 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.880 would we ban them from riching a little bit for 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:36.880 civilian purposes? 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.080 You were previously surrender monkey if you said, hey, you know, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.760 they said that we won't get a nuclear weapon. They 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.479 even agreed not to enrich past a certain point for 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.159 civilian purposes. So I used my common sense before the war, 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:51.880 and I was like, what's the problem with that? And 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.159 yet Trump consistently said that the Iranians would not commit 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.599 to zero enrichment, as in zero enrichment and uranium whatsoever 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.400 or any nuclear material, including for civilian or for medical purposes, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.280 and used that as a pretext. Remember, he would consistently 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.080 say Iran won't remember the magic words, they won't say 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.320 the magic words zero nuclear weapons, which he would define 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.840 as zero enrichment. Anybody watching the show over one hundred 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.200 days ago, I guess now is very familiar. And now 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.760 Trump has come full circle back to this show. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.120 So much of it with him too is like whoever 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.880 he last spoke with one hundred percent? 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.719 So I don't know who what. Maybe it was JD. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.320 Van's last and his year, but somebody gave him some 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.280 new thoughts on the matter. Because previously, and not just 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.159 during this war, but leading up to it, in the 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.800 Twelve Day War and throughout the negotiations, which you know, 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.120 I mean they had a pretty reasonable deal on the 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.040 table before they started bombing Ran the first time around. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.240 But in any case, you know, they he kept having 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.960 his red line shifted by Israel and made more and 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.280 more extreme. So it became not just no nuclear weapons, 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.479 not just no nuclear Richmond whatsoever. But also we're going 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.799 to we have to deal with the pallistic missile program, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.200 which is another area that he gets to here. And 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.839 now he says, well, how does that make any sense? 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.760 If everybody else is allowed to have weapons and defend themselves, 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.760 doesn't Iran have a right to defend itself to and 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.240 have some sort of a military presence and have their 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:15.400 mollistic missile program. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:16.320 Let's sake, go listen to that. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.279 So we'll be working on a parallel effort with the 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.400 Gulf nations to address non nuclear issues, such as the 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.720 conventional ballistic missiles, which we'll be talking about and support. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.000 I mean, they have to have some because other people 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.480 have some. You've got to have some. Somebody said you 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.120 shouldn't give them one, but I have guys. I like 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:40.400 some of these guys, but I don't think this, don't 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.160 think they're smart. Sure, you shouldn't let them have any missile. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.120 I said, well what am I going to do? Am 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.680 I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles? But they 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:50.320 can't have them? 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.080 Yes, sir, can't. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.000 Does it work that way? You know, it doesn't work 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.200 that way. And missiles aren't the problem. Missiles or they 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.320 heard a little lowkey, but it don't blow up the planet. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.800 Just yeah, absolutely, part true, Yeah, accurate. What you're gonna 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.200 let everybody else and there you're gonna let Israel have 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.760 whatever they want from ours dot files, but you're not 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.480 gonna let her on have any missile. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.920 As he said, in other words, Iran has a right 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.240 to defend itself. Right, that's that's. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.000 What it a right to exp does it have a. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.480 Right to Iran has a right to exist and a 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.000 right to defend itself. Right, Yeah, he's right, you know, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.000 I mean, part of this just belies the basic fact. Yes, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.960 when you lose a war, there are two things that 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.280 have to happen. Number one, you don't get everything that 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.400 you want, and too, you have to pay them a 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.800 lot of reparations. This is Lindy, It's a tale as 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.640 old as time. You don't conquer the place. Thus you've 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.880 got to take some gold out of the treasury and 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.560 you know, haul it on over and sign a memorandum 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.760 and as if that doesn't hold, then you go back 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.200 to war. This is what happens people. Sorry, I mean, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.880 be about faith in one hundred days, it's kind of 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.040 what's yeah, so's talking about it. But at a basic level, yeah, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.560 it's true. But that's why these by uttering these truths 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.360 for the first time. Look from Trump, he can reverse 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:06.520 you know, at anything, he. 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:07.680 Can say something different today. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.200 Yeah, you can say something different today. But there is 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.520 power in the truth, and there is power in what 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.840 we have been trying to emphasize here for quite some time. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.680 How is it that you can allow Israel, a rogue state, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.320 to have a secret nuclear weapons program, to have missiles 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.920 to bomb seven of its neighbors, to conquer and annexed 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.040 parts of Syria, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Gaza, and 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.080 then in a straight face say you're not allowed to 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.120 have any even civilian nuclear in Richmond. You're not allowed 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.480 to have any ballistic missile threat. You cannot do that, 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120 or you can. You have to take over the entire country, 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.720 right And so that's why by saying yes, they have 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.720 a right right to defend itself and sure, oh a 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.280 civilian nuclear we can't say that. And they're like, oh, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:51.960 but you're going to pay them. It's like, yeah, we 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.640 have to pay them, otherwise they're going to continue to 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.199 keep the straightformance and even paying, as Trump soon addresses, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.440 is not even really paying them. We're paying them with 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.719 their own money like Obama did this so called palettes. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.719 Of cap Let me just react to what you just said, 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.760 because I think you made an important point about the 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.880 power of truth and the power of reality, and I 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:15.000 think that that has overwhelmed the propaganda efforts, which were 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.120 very minimal, by the way, for this war and pretty 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.480 pathetic and poorly organized and changing day by day. But 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.920 the ability of the American people to see through some 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.280 of that propaganda has really overwhelmed this war effort, and 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.800 American foreign policy is increasingly built on propaganda and lies, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.640 whether it's things like, oh, Israel's the most moral army 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.719 on the planet and there are great allies, and it's 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.600 really great for our interests eventually, especially, I mean in 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.800 part because of social media. Because you have a much 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.760 more diverse media ecosystem, you're not able to just keep 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.120 people in the mainstream press, where these propaganda efforts are 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.480 you know, come with very few holes in them, are 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.400 very cohesive. Since you have that access, people are just 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.960 not buying this fantasy world. And the fantasy world is 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.440 becoming more and more preposterous by the day. I told 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.400 you a while ago, I was shocked by this. I 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.960 was talking to my mom, who is not like particularly political. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.120 She most of her life has been an independent. Now 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.840 she hates Trump, so she's definitely votes for Democrats by 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.600 and large, but she was talking about Iran and she 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.040 was like, I don't really get it, Like we're allowed 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.200 to have nuclear weapons, so they are She's like, that 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.880 doesn't seem fair to me. I was like, wow, lom okay, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.839 I was pretty shocked that she said that. But people 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.120 are seeing through a lot of these lies and these 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.720 propaganda that has been built up over years and years 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:38.119 and years. So look, Trump, one danger with him always 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.959 is that people hear on one day something that they 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.440 want to hear from Trump, just as the you know, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.559 the Zionists who wanted this war. We're hearing a lot 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.520 of things from him that they wanted to hear over 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:48.280 a lot of days. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.120 And now he's saying something. 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.400 Different and doing something different at least for the moment, 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.240 and so they, oh, my god, he betrayed us. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:54.840 He's shocked. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.400 I mean, this man will turn on a dime at 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.560 any moment. There is no person he is loyal to, 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.720 There is no country is loyal to outside of himself. So, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.840 you know, it's remarkable to hear him say these things 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.440 that of course if Fabama said, if Biden said it, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.280 it would be and we would still be hearing about 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.720 it on Fox News, et cetera. It is remarkable to 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.080 hear him say those things, but of course it doesn't 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.960 mean that this is his fixed, locked in position. Doesn't 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.880 mean that we won't go back to war tomorrow. I 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.719 mean Israel is still bombing, they root. All of this 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.440 is very tenuous and unstable. But the reason to talk 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.280 about it is not because Trump is a reliable or 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.040 good actor here. The reason to talk about it is 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.760 because I think you're right. I think there is power 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.360 and truth, and I think these are a lot of 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.640 things that the American people have intuitive, which is why 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.120 they have been so opposed to this war from the 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.040 beginning in a way that is truly unprecedented in I think, 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.000 in American history. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.400 Let's just stick again, you know, and I know some 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.400 of this is repetitive for long time viewers. I'm sorry, 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.640 but like, let's just think about you know, let's go 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.960 back to Biden logic. We have to arm Ukraine because 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:02.680 they're being invaded. Israel invades. Israel invades Gaza, the West Bank, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.800 Syria and Lebanon annexes their territory in violation of international law, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.800 and we enable it and we ship them weapons. Hold on, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.440 what a second Bucah's a genocide Gaza? 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:13.800 Oh? 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.360 That no, that's a what is it? A self defense action? 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.720 Horrific civilian casualties except one is orders of magnitude bigger 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.400 than the other. That doesn't make a hell of a 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.320 lot of sense, does it. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.599 Even the framing of Iran as like the singular evening. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:27.000 Yeah, exactly. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.679 You know, people watched. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.080 Us in Israel commit a genocide in Gaza for years 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.439 and then we go out and try to do our 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.320 moral preening in the world. Oh, the Islamic terrorist regime. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.000 But they're shooting protesters in the street. It's not that 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.000 Americans are looking this and go oh yeah, Ron, They're 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.800 actually the good guys. They're just going like, well, who 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.760 are we really at this point to go out and 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.920 lecture the world on moral values? And do we really 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.440 believe that Donald Trump is so deeply concerned about the 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.080 rights of protesters in the street in Tehran? 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:58.800 Of course, it's preposterous. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.720 And so the the fantasy world has become so divorce 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.319 from reality that people did not buy it. They have 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.120 access to information they didn't used to have. And now 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.120 you have an American president who is acknowledging things that 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.080 you know, and I've gotten this can change in a moment, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.800 But who is acknowledging obvious logical things that many Americans 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.120 into it did and it is hard to put that 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:23.840 understanding back in the bottle. 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.120 Absolutely, yeah, same with Iraq. I mean, oh, we were 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.880 greeted as liberators. We're going to bring them democracy and 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.520 for it. We all lived through that. We all know 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.960 this is bullshit from day one. It's only the same 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.280 people who pushed the war are the very same people 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.560 who are parroting those truths. Which is ironic because in 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.840 most cases actually the exact same people who are defending 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.800 and who were pushing it. There is immense power in 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.080 the truth. Here is the next one from Donald Trump 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.319 about Iran's money and how can we just keep it? 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.640 That would undermine faith in the dollar. Let's go and 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.160 put a three and let's. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.720 Listen explained though, what the difference is between giving a 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:04.319 rack and US dollars and unfreezing US dollars for. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.920 Well, the unfreezing it's an easy one to answer. We 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.720 have taken a lot of their money, and we have 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.199 their money. We have taken them. It's not our money, 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.800 it's their money, and we froze it. At a certain 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.360 point in time, I guess we're going to have to 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.440 give it back. You know, if we didn't give it back, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.760 nobody would ever invest in the dollar again if you 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.400 took their money. Because I thought about it, you know, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:34.160 I'm not the post perfect person. I said to Scott Scott, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.680 what do we keep their money? What the hell are 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.320 we giving it back to them? But you know, people 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.120 from lots of nations, some nations we don't agree with, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.480 they have their money with the dollars become very strong 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.760 under me, and they don't want to have a little 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.160 conflict with somebody and end up having the United States 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.320 just take their money. So if you do that, you 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.800 really don't have a system. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.320 Your rights are absolutely You're absolutely right. And yet again, 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.920 you know, this is a neocon worldview, is that the 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.160 United States can be the world's reserve currency in bank 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.560 that just declares when somebody who's spooky and bad doesn't 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.800 get to have access to their money, like we did 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.400 with Russia. You know, I'm coming back to Russia. We 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.280 just said, oh no, actually, all of your money, it's ours. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.240 And as we said at the time, we're like, hey, 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.080 we're going to blow up the integrity of the entire 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.200 international banking system and create an alternative, you know, cycle 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.680 of crypto and of the Chinese wand that will be 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.920 used to circumvent the US Bank, which actually makes us weaker. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.200 That's exactly what happened. And then how did Iran actually 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.200 facilitate some of those two million And we know at 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.240 least some people paid the toll. How did they pay 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.080 either in wand or they paid in crypto? Well, guess what. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.600 You laid the ground for that again with what happened 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.920 after Ukraine. So you are watching the reckoning and we're 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.960 actually going to talk about this later. People are now 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.440 bullish back on the dollar after a result of this, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.720 because they're like, oh, hey, actually, you know, we could 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.360 go back to the world's reserve. Says it's bad for 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.840 the States, especially in an emerging multipolar system where people 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.680 who are quote enemies or bad or for a president 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.680 can at any time just turn his back and say 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.720 all of your money is ours. To be able to 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.200 keep it. You know, this reminds me of the whole 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.480 Palace of cash situation, which I'll be honest at the 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.480 time I fell for it because I didn't do enough research. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.840 But going back treat to PARSI outlined all of this 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.960 on the Tucker Carlson Show and laid it out extremely well. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.640 He's like, look, he had a certain amount of money 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.280 was paid by the SHAW to the United States for arms. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.520 We didn't send the arms, we kept the money. The 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.400 Iranian regime took the US to court at the Hague, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.200 and the Hague was going to rule against us, so 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.600 we had to send back the money with interest because 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.120 that's the rule. And we sent back what was their money. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.680 Well, and when they were sanctioned from using any of 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.080 the traditional banking systems, so how else are you going 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.400 to get them the money then sending them sending them 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.800 pallets of cash? And that is the piece where it's 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.080 This one is the hardest for me to stomach from 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:57.040 Trump because he has demagogued like so much against the 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.520 JCPOA and the provisions in there and the palettes of cash. 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.879 I mean, he did the whole thing all in on 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.800 those talking wow we go Obama with how terrible deal 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.720 it was and how we sent them these palettes of 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.080 cash to fund their terrorist activities, blah blah blah. So 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.240 it is a little bit hard for me to stomach 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.320 him now acknowledging the truth when it comes to him 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.720 and his deal of Hey, this is actually their money 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.720 and at some point we probably should give it back. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.800 Otherwise this becomes in a way a problem for us, 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.480 because if we are continually using and abusing our status 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.400 is the world's reserve currency, our domination of the global 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.280 financial system, then of course nations are going to figure 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.119 out alternatives, and that is already happening in nascent form, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.840 and already our sanctions and the power of those sanctions 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.600 they're still powerful, don't get me wrong, but already they're 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.199 beginning to be diminished and less of a threat than 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.840 they used to be. Now, that's probably a good thing 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.320 for the world, but if you're an American president and 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.280 you're interested in preserving American empire, not such great there. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.959 It's a disaster. And yeah, I mean ninety eight that 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.040 makes a lot of sense. Sure where else are you 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.359 going to go in twenty twenty six. Nope, there's a 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.440 lot of different avenues that you can go through, and 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.480 if you're willing to sit there and to suffer, which 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.800 ultimately that's what happened. The Iranians were like, Okay, we're 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:13.920 going to take a massive hit. People are going to starve, 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.959 people are going to be poor, but at the end 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.480 of the day, we're going to hold out for victory. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.000 We're literally under consistent bombing and attack. This is an 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.879 absolute war of survival. And as all regimes that are 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.479 under that exact type of pressure, they did not buckle, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.159 They got stronger, they held out for potential terms, and 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.160 we eventually had to bend the knee. This is how 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:34.760 things were going to work out. As you said, by 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.439 the way, I think this is a good thing. This 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.560 actually is a healthy dynamic. But this is why it 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.199 is so intolerable for Israel, because if we treat Iran 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.960
