Lindsay Clancy, Data Centers, And Another Falklands War

0:00All right, good morning, Doug. We're back with questions from viewers. But first, you got a way in on this Lindsey Clancy situation. And if viewers don't know about this, they're probably living in a cave somewhere. But this is a woman who killed her three children and then jumped out of the second floor of a window trying to kill herself, didn't die, but is now being prosecuted for those murders. And there's a lot of controversy around it. So what's your view, Doug? Well, yeah, this is a complex case. Believe it or not, and I don't know if how many people were aware of this, I assumed that the jury trial that was going on, the jury appears to have been deadlocked 11 to 1. And I assumed, which is always a very dangerous word when you're dealing with anything to do with the public or anything, I assumed that it was

1:0311 people that were looking to convict her and one that, you know, some blue hair liberal lady was going to letter off. But it turns out that the 11 people that 11 people want to letter off and only one person wants to convict her. And of course, it's a little bit more complex than that because conviction means, uh, letterscape because of temporary insanity. And I asked myself, well, what if she killed the three neighbors children with temporary insanity, be a reason to log six months in a loony bin and then be released back into society, apparently, as now a stable person. And other things come up. It turns out that as with so many mass murderers, she could school shooters, especially a great proportion

2:04of them are on psychiatric drugs of some type, which there are well over 100 different types, though, loft and ambient, SSRIs of many types. And so maybe Lindsay really was crazy because of all the drugs. So the question is, is what should be done if a mother kills her three children like Lindsay? Do you have a thought on what what should be done? Well, my opinion is that she probably, I mean, I think that her actions show that she was temporarily insane just because the acts themselves seem insane. Seem insane. You know, to murder three children and then jump out of a window, trying to kill yourself, break her back and become permanently paralyzed. Like that seems like that, that's an act of a madwoman, you know, somebody who's lost, who's insane. So, you know, if so I could understand a, should she be punished? Though that's a different story. Should she be punished, you know, for murder,

3:12or should there be some insanity provision there, which basically just if it meant she was institutionalized for life, but not in a, you know, maximum security prison, you know, like I'd be okay with that, personally, but question is with with things of this nature, does punishment or the threat of punishment discourage future crimes of that type? It apparently wouldn't have discouraged her because she wanted to kill herself afterwards. Yeah. And do you do, does that even work at all in general? You know, by punishing certain individuals, does it change societies view about it and people decide not to do crimes? Probably just, you know, having thought about this from an anarchist point of view, the main objective of any crime, where damage is done, which is the case with almost all crimes, is you've got to make the victim whole. That's number one. It's not to punish the perpetrator. I mean,

4:13it's to make the perpetrator make the victim whole plus costs of apprehension and whatever. That would be much better, rather than having some judge arbitrarily assigned, well, you do six months for this or 60 years for that, depending on how he feels that morning, it would be figuring out the damages to the aggrieved estate or party. And the guy has to pay it off. I think that would be much more effective. But in this case, so the kids are dead, they don't have an estate. The only person that could be is the father who apparently is innocent. Well, I don't know if he's really innocent. Well, that's part of the one of the controversies around it is people have made him out to be like this suspicious character in the background who's behavior, you know, would explain him actually

5:14being responsible and setting his wife up for it. I mean, there's a lot of pretty wild claims out there. Yeah, of course, all we know is what some reporter puts in the newspaper and that's not reliable. So you really have to be in the courtroom and listen to the testimony of all these people first hand to figure it out. And I don't have the time of an interest, all those kind of interesting to to hear the whole story because there are a thousand stories like this. But this is in the movies right now. It's a big deal. So anyway, that's that's the way I would solve the problem or any hand cap would solve the problem. It's adjudicating costs and having the perpetrator pay the cost off. And you say, what if the perpetrator doesn't want to pay him off? Whether we just says, no, I'm sitting here. I'm not doing anything. Well, the first thing is make the victim whole. So I guess you can say, look, if you don't want to pay the cost off to the best of your ability voluntarily,

6:14of course, some people might actually develop useful skills to accelerate the paying off of the cost. But if they don't want to do that, I guess the threat would be, well, then we're going to have to disassemble you. Your kidneys have a high market value. Your eyes, many of your body parts have a high market value. And we don't want to do it. But you've got to you've got to pay your debt. What about the debt to society, Doug? I don't believe in debt to society. I mean, that's a nebulous concept. And I mean, to help with society, I'm interested in the individuals involved, not society. Most of them are just grubbing socialists today. Anyway, so no, I'm not, I don't believe in debt to society, whatever that is. But that's the whole way the criminal justice system is positioned right now. You know, the person must be punished because they have a debt to society and that debt

7:16gets repaid by their punishment. Yeah. And anyway, it's really a debt to the state because when criminals are fined, the fine doesn't go to the people that are hurt, it goes to the state. So the whole system is totally corrupt. But I think more and more Americans are starting to see that. They are, Doug. I think that's the one thing that Americans can agree on. There's a new Gallup poll out. I'll share my screen with people so they can see. This is, again, I've never seen anything that ranks this high. 89% in the USA government corruption is widespread. Wow. Well, that's it's almost impossible to do a number of people agreeing on one thing. That's an extraordinary number. It really is. I mean, you always see like there's like a, uh, Scott Adams had this thing where he'd say

8:19there was always 25% roughly plus or minus a couple points that always are on the other side of every issue. Even the ones that seem so obvious, like, you know, it's like they're always, there's always 25% but in this case, there's not even that 25% you know, not even half that, that thing the government's not corrupt. Yeah. So this is very interesting. If almost all Americans believe that their government or the system itself at this point is totally corrupt, this is an argument that we actually are moving towards an actual civil war and or secession movements. Well, certainly toward a forth turning, right? Because that's a loss of faith of institutions is the key component of that. And and the general population has been so corrupted themselves and are generally so unintelligent that they're reacting against us by going social Democrat with people

9:24like Mamdame and a bunch of these idiots that want to overthrow the system but to make it much, much worse and people are too ignorant to realize that they could easily turn this country into something like Russia after 1917 or Germany after 1933 or Cuba after 1959. It's a long list. Well, yeah, well definitely it's something's at a breaking point though. Let me see numbers that high. No doubt about that. Pretty disturbing. Well, anyway, I guess our our bail wick is trying to figure out what you can do to insulate yourself from all this danger and stupidity out there. But also, I guess alert people who don't think about these things because we all live our day to day lives and don't really think much about what the other Hoy Palloy are thinking so.

10:26Right, but I think it's getting to a time where it's going to be really important to know what your neighbors think. I think. Yeah, and perhaps try to ensure that your neighbor doesn't know what you think, especially if you're a libertarian, you're going to be suspect. Exactly. Exactly. All right, Doug, let's get to some of these questions. The first one is, what do you think about the growing backlash in the US over AI and AI data centers? Well, you know, I have to say that my knowledge of things computer-esque, although I'm a big fan in theory, it's not big from a practical point of view. My my main argument is that trillions, not just billions or hundreds of billions, but actually trillions of dollars are being allocated

11:27towards these data centers, some of them cover gigantic portions of land, full of computer stuff, recording data, and so forth. So whatever that much money is being spent so quickly in one place, it's some because of fear of missing out, FOMO on the part of these big companies that you're looking for a financial catastrophe and maybe an economic catastrophe because a lot of this money may turn out to be totally wasted. That's capital that's wasted, like digging a hole for which there's no purpose. Anyway, that's there's a lot more to say, but that's kind of my opening argument. Well, what do you think? What about the it seems like Americans maybe not for that reason, but for other reasons that maybe it nimbly reasons or maybe because police state reasons, maybe just lack of trust in these big tech companies are coming out in

12:32droves against these data centers. And you know, they've tried to spin this negative sentiment among Americans toward data centers as like part of a Chinese propaganda campaign. You know, because China's trying to stop us from having the best AI, so that's why it's being positioned. But I mean, what do you think about that though, that backlash itself? What do you make it? Well, I can understand it because it seems kind of ominous if you live out in the country and they're not all out in the country, I guess. But if there's some giant set of buildings that are humming during the night, which apparently is one of their objections to these things, I mean, it seems kind of potentially or a William, and they're afraid of it for that reason. And of course, another point that I think needs to be made is that if AI and the

13:33data centers that it needs, I don't think who knows how much it needs for what purpose. But if these things were just researching STEM, science, technology, engineering, math, medicine, so forth, mathematics, that they would serve a useful purpose, progressing, you know, breaking down molecules that can be used to make new drugs and new, but apparently that's not the case. It's basically gathering information about people and what they're doing and where they're going and what they're thinking and so forth. And if all these companies that are not only spending all their capital and cash flow, it appears Facebook and Google and the whole hyper set of companies, but borrowing money in addition. And I can't see how the return on capital on these things could possibly justify the investment, at least for many years,

14:37like with the railroads. Because that much bigger than the railroads a century over a century ago, that this could be, this could wind up as a financial and an economic catastrophe. I mean, this is like the global crossing and at other companies that laid down all this cable, which has turned out to be very useful, but they went bankrupt. But if we're talking about something that's about a hundred times bigger than that, it's going to have lots of effects, including on the stock market. I mean, that melts down and the amount of capital destroyed and the speculative bubble bursts were, you know, millions of people are buying options with less than 24 hours to expire so that they can double the amount of leverage out there. And this has really got to be a disaster from that point of view. So I don't know. I mean, this is terror in cognita

15:44as far as I think everybody's concerned. Yeah, and it seems to be like the backlash against the data centers is very similar to the backlash against flock cameras. Very grassroots, very like just, there's just some, you know, it feels like no one asked for it. What's the benefit of it? And it's just being thrust upon the public. So yeah, I'm no fan of flock cameras at all. I'm all for destroying them or cutting them down, even though it's private property kind of, although it's kind of semi-government property, but it's too dangerous to do that. So yeah, definitely going to be punished if they can get you. All right, Doug, have you ever been in any serious debates? Well, in high school, I was a member of the debate team, which was helpful. You have a first and second negative, first and second affirmative and a first and second

16:48negative. And you, I'm trying to remember what the debate subjects were when I was in high school. One of them had to do with resolved, should we build lots more schools? Because that was the beginning cusp of the baby boom and so forth. That was one. Another one was resolved, the United States should leave the United Nations, which you wouldn't even think about today unless you're so answered. But have I actually been in a formal debate since then? No, but I guess the closest I've come was at the New Orleans conference years ago when I was on several panels with Charles Krauthammer, who you may remember was a pundit. Neocon pundit. A Neocon pundit? Yes, a Zionist Neocon pundit. And Charles and I took an immediate and visceral dislike to each other. And whether Brian

17:54London who runs the New Orleans conference, where is that way? I'm going to be this year and I suspected the last one because I'm asking myself, wait a minute, why do I need to go to conferences and live in a hotel for three days? I mean, I don't like living in convention hotels and eating convention food. Yes, I like socializing with some of the people that are there. Anyway, so I suspect this is going to be my last conference just because kind of been there, done that. But anyway, Brian, who runs the New Orleans conference, put me and Krauthammer together several times perhaps thinking it would be a good show because we really disliked each other. Now Krauthammer is dead. So we actually died before I did. So that's well, and who what are little verbal dust steps? Well, I don't know what it's kind of basically an exchanging of subtle insults,

18:55or both rather semi-generalmen way. But that's the last debate that I've had, I think. And I don't believe in debates anyway. I believe in polite discussions on subjects so you can hopefully try to find out what the real truth is, or at least find out what the other person believes. But debates are basically bullshit, where it's all about rhetorical flourish and allowing the audience. So I'm not a fan of debates on any basis. All right. In the event that Trump does impose D-Day sanctions against everyone who is doing any business with Iran, what are the likely outcomes from, like for Iran's point of view? Does it make sense for them to obliterate the Middle East desalination plans, energy infrastructure across the Middle East, etc. Not only with that demolish the global economy, the financial system, the stock market and energy markets are pretty much ensures Trump loses the midterms. And be

19:58Iranian allies such as China and Russia, as well as the BRICs and the global south, what would they do? What it makes sense for them to back their currencies with gold and decapitate the US dollar? And he talks about how much gold is China and Russia have. So he says Trump is playing a very stupid game with a lot of stakes here for the US and the Western economies. He's the kind of guy that gets beaten up in a quiz show by two short planks. What's that mean? I have no idea. I've never seen that before. I have neither. But anyway, the question is pretty good. Are these sanctions against Iran going to do any good? Well, wait a minute. Happen to sanction this place to death. I mean, nobody in the US can trade with Iran under massive legal penalties. So this has been true for years. And it's true for Europeans. Well, they're trying to do those, these secondary sanctions. So if a

21:02Chinese business is doing business with them, then they would be sanctioned. Yeah. The thing is, can the US really tell the Chinese what to do? And I don't think they can quite frankly. I mean, this is all posturing and it's stupid and it's nonsense. And so, you know, it's just strutting. Trump is strutting around like Mussolini. I mean, there's so many similarities between Trump and Mussolini at this point, except Trump doesn't wear uniform the way Mussolini did. But otherwise, I mean, it's uncanny. You know, I don't think that I think this when during some press conference with percent, when he was talking about these D-Day sanctions, one reporter asked him, said, well, you call these D-Day sanctions, but you know, for D-Day, we didn't let the German

22:02there's no we were coming. You know, we didn't talk about what was going to happen. We were acting, you know, so why is that not the case with these sanctions? You know, why are we not, why is he talking about that they're going to be or whatever? And his response was, well, I don't want to blow up the global financial system. Yeah, I guess he doesn't want to, but if they didn't want to, then they shouldn't have launched a surprise attack on Iran during negotiations. Talk about something that, you know, how can the Iranians possible, and I'm not saying the Iranian government are good guys? No, they're not good guys, but nobody running any government are good guys, quite frankly, some are just less bad than others. But how can any reasonable person expect the Iranians to possibly trust the Americans after doing that? And you know, Trump's declared victory so many times and then launches another attack on them, just I can't

23:08even keep track of who's on first with all these attacks and counterattacks. And the question is also, well, when the Iranians really get tired of being used as a punching bag, how do they get back at the US? Well, it's relatively hard for the Iranians to take out, let's say, a US carrier group. Maybe they could, you have enough high velocity missiles. Yeah, they could definitely do it, but maybe they don't want to do that because just talk about using nuclear weapons, both on the Russian front and on the Iranian front at this point. I mean, they're talking about this as reasonable alternatives. So maybe the Iranians are thinking, you know what, if we take out a US carrier that especially with Trump, that he may up the adding and drop a bomb on some place or places in Iran, the Israelis will be all for it. And so I don't see how this thing can end at this

24:16point. I really, I mean, it gets, it's getting worse. It's not getting better and it's spreading the war and the Russians and the Chinese or, you know, because the US government always paints both of them unnecessarily, but actually is, it's being not just our adversary series, but the next enemy. So yeah, they're going to line up and back of Iran. And then you've got this thing going on where the people around the Gulf, the Middle Eastern has realized that we don't matter. What, what are we having anything to do with the Americans for? We were paying them to protect us from whoever. And clearly, they're unable to do that. I mean, we're having missiles, drones, and whatnot blowing up our infrastructure and so forth. The Americans can't do anything about it. So this is perhaps one reason why the Pakistanis and the Saudis and the Turks, and maybe the Iranians

25:25will join the party too, are forming a, they're on little kind of little mini NATO lookalike, even while NATO is worthless and should have been abolished 30 years ago. But this is not going well. No, it's not going to end well either. And you say things aren't going well in NATO, but I don't know. They are, it is effectively continuing low level conflict. I mean, well, lots of people died. But I mean, a conflict that's fallen short of, you'd be using Nukes so far in order to try and, you know, engaging Russia and killing a bunch of slabs on both sides. So like NATO has been pretty effective. It actually, you know, they haven't beat obviously Russia, but the fact that they haven't lost that you through its proxy, you know, hasn't lost to Russia yet is pretty incredible, I think, really. Yeah, this is kind of, it's funny that our well kind of predicted this. We had three great super states in the world, Oceania,

26:31which was basically the Western hemisphere in the US and South America. And Eurasia, which is Europe and Asia and East Asia, which is basically China, and they were all constantly at war with each other. That's pretty much the way it seems to be evolving at this point, with absolutely low life, dimpled semi-criminals running all the nation states of basically everywhere today. Certainly in Europe, I mean, these people are an embarrassment. They're almost as bad as Kimola was here in the U.S. Let's see, next question, Doug. Which Roman Emperor would you most want to have a glass of wine with and why? Well, of course, Marcus Relius, I think would be most people's first choice, justifiably, because it was the philosopher emperor that wrote the meditations,

27:33which I read in high school and I thought they were great. And incidentally, maybe little known as, fact, Bill Clinton was asked, what's your favorite book? And he mentioned Marcus Relius' meditations too, which you'd never guess from watching his life's progress, but you know, I'm sure. So, and of course, you could say, well, Augustus, the first emperor. Okay, that's interesting. You don't want to talk to one of the crazy emperors, which were a good number or criminal emperors, which is another classification for them, or truly dissipated emperors. I think the other emperor who doesn't get as much attention is a reliant, who was about 375 AD right in the middle of the 50-year time of troubles when Rome was falling apart at the

28:41seams. And before he was assassinated, he had five years to try to straighten the empire out. And that would have been an interesting conversation. It was a general, like almost all of them were. And it seemed to have his heart in the right place and was doing the right things, but they didn't work out. So that might be a choice. Yeah, that sounds like a good one. Yeah, there was somebody that had real problems on absolutely every front, much more serious than even the problems that we're confronting today. And if anybody asks this question in the future, I don't think anybody's going to choose Donald Trump because he's a narcissistic megalomaniac, and they're no fun to talk to because you can't have a conversation with him. You're like listening to a lecture, and if you say anything that they

29:46disagree with, they don't want to talk to you anymore. So you wouldn't want to talk to Trump in the future. Yeah. Okay, so let's see. What does Doug think about the idea that many wars, especially the world wars in the 20th century, were fought so that many countries strongest men would perish or be demoralized by the time they returned home and be much easier to control, and the government can further tighten its grip? I don't think that's why anybody fights war, but the consequence of the war is exactly that. But, you know, it's like World War One destroyed the flower of Western civilization at that point on both sides, and then World War Two destroyed more, and like the war between the Ukraine and Russia is apparently destroying, I don't know, what nobody knows what

30:46the actual casualty totals are on each side. They're both lies being fabricated, but it appears there's like 30,000 deaths a month, at least on the Ukrainian side. Because that's what they're trying to replace in new recruits every month? Yeah, and they're drug-looting people to be used as cannon fodder, but you know, this war in the Ukraine is, it's very interesting. I was talking with somebody who's very connected with the military the other day, and I observed that it said that 90% of the casualties are by drones now, which means that there's even more deaths than there are wounded. It would seem because of the effectiveness of drones, but 80% of casualties on that the Russian-Ukrainian frontier by drones. I mean, it's like deadly being there. I mean, it's, you don't have a chance. I don't care how well trained you are. You can't hide from those

31:46things. Yeah, you have a one-to-one level kill, you know, you have your own little assassin flying after you, and if that one runs out of batteries, it'll be another. Yeah, that's right, and they'll be better and smaller and faster. So this is Western civilization is destroying itself, and it's it's basically white people that are taking the casualties. So I think a lot of this, it seems like it may be devolving into a race war at this point, quite frankly, because having recently read the camp of the Saints, which is a book that everybody should read, because it was written in 1970, and it talks about the collapse of Western civilization, and basically the total destruction of the white race, which is coincidental with Western civilization. And I think it's turning out

32:47just the way it was predicted when that book was written. And it's actually a very good read. So I've recommended this before, but I'll recommend anybody listening to this, should go on Amazon and buy a copy while it's still available, because it's ultra politically incorrect, ultra, and funny and prescient. It's a good combination for a novel, but yeah, these wars are not good things from the point of view of the West when you destroy all the young men, and that has really bad consequences for the society. Okay, next question. It says, thanks for the answer on the Tranche physical cash question in the video. Are we living in 1984? One follow-up, you pointing me toward physical metals, plus the stocks you recommend, rather than broad ETFs, for someone building this from scratch at 1,000 or 1,500 per month. Over the next 10 years, do you see a role for broad

33:51market ETFs, leave it all? Or would you put that whole allocation into metals and your picks instead? I've recovered, I said, I've recovered my subscription cost already, so I'm past the, is this, is this worth it stage? And on to, how much can I learn lean-in? So it says, basically, do you see any risks to investing in ETFs? No, I think there are good ETFs, personally, I'll answer this first. I guess that you get a few interest in the Gold sector, owning the GDX, the large gold miners. I mean, that's an easy thing to do, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that with the smaller one, you also, in that basket, you're going to get, you know, the good ones and bad ones. And, you know, so you might get, you're going to get average returns across the mall instead of maybe the super exceptional returns you can get, so with some of the, especially small stocks. Yeah, I agree, and I think that the next thing that's going to happen is, broad public buying of gold stocks, so they're all going to go up. And so there's nothing wrong,

34:56in fact, it's a good idea to own those two indices, including the GDX. Yeah, GDX and GDXJ, that's what they are. Yeah, the advantage of buying the individual stocks is that maybe you'll pick a 10 or a 50 or a 100 to 1, or God forbid, it could, it's happened before a thousand to one winner. So you can do that and it can hold on your analytical skills, picking the individual companies. So, but maybe most of your money should be just in those ETFs. I'm not a fan of ETFs, generally, because you're paying 2% per year eating a wage or capital to have the service perform for you by the, or some percentage anyway. I don't think it's 2% for those, but, now maybe you're, maybe you're right, it's not that high, but some of them it's 2%,

35:57I don't know what it is for those two, but yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. The important thing is to be in the right place generally, in the right side of the market generally. And as far as I'm concerned, the only place to be at this point is mining stocks and energy stocks. That's it. And there are a few exceptions, but I don't know anything else. I'm, I'm like, really heavily overweight, which is almost an understanding in that direction. So nothing wrong with those things. You just got to put this all in context. Yeah. Okay. Doug, this kind of came up in our conversation with Michael, you're on the other day, but we'll Argentina try to take the Falkland Islands in all the chaos we see now. And what can the UK even do about it if they do try and take it? Yeah, that's a good question, because if the Argentines attacked the Falklands now the way they did in the days of

37:05thatcher, I mean, the UK is totally incapable of driving them off on the one hand. But on the other hand, the Argentines are much less capable of attacking too, notwithstanding. And maybe this is the reason why Millay idiotically bought these 15 F60s and it's a great expense for a country that doesn't have any money from from Denmark. Maybe maybe he's thinking about taking the the Falklands back, which is, which is really kind of criminal because 100% of the people people who live in the Falklands, they're British, they want to stay British. They don't want to become Argentine, part of Argentine. It's crazy. It's much more stupid than China trying to recapture Taiwan. I mean, it's much worse than that. And there's nobody to stop them at this point. So Will Millay

38:09try to do that? Well, he's done, well, he's doing a lot of good for Argentina, a lot of good, but he's making some stupid mistakes like shipping off all their gold to England. There's never coming back and buying those very expensive to buy and maintain plans and not abolishing the central bank and manipulating the currency so that Argentina is no longer one of the cheapest countries in the world. It's about as expensive as the US is somewhat less, which is not good for the average Argentine. And I don't know if he's going to be real, like that I sure hope he is notwithstanding all these stupidities, but in the possible reinvasion of the Falklands. Well, I did see, I think it was yesterday, he gave a speech about the Melvenus, as he calls him. And he said that they were sanctioning, he was rolling out sanctions on the oil company that's

39:14building out there 100,000 or 50 or 200 miles off the Falklands. They're drilling. And so basically any company doing business with them can't do anything with Argentina. So it's using sanctions at first. Yeah, raising the costs of developing the resource. I think there's two or maybe three publicly traded companies that have the concessions of the Falklands, one of them is called Rockhopper. Yeah, who knows what goes on in these halls of politics. But that's not going to go away because the Argentine public, not to mention the Argentine government, really want to capture those islands for what I think are spurious reasons. Well, the oil could be the underlying real motivation though. Yeah, yeah, it could be plus nationalism. I mean,

40:15yeah, but if you want to bring the country together, take back the Melvenus. That's right. Bring the country together and get a whole bunch more people killed. And who knows where one thing will lead to another. Yeah, of course. That's a great idea. Of course, he wants Millay wants to join NATO too, which is stupid and insane for all kinds of reasons. That's just amazing. Well, just to yeah, we'll see what happens with it. But it's funny how just, you know, there's a lot of talk about Melvenus all of a sudden. Yeah, that's not good. Well, fortunately, the Argentines can't do anything right about that, but the British can't either to do anything to defend it. Yeah, and I guess Trump was being interviewed last night by a British broadcaster, and they asked him if they would honor the military arrangement around the the Falcons, where basically we would be taking a neutral position in it.

41:16And Trump's response was, well, you know, you guys didn't come help me in Iran. So I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm like a Roman emperor. I can change my mind and turn 180 degrees on the spur of the moment because there's no moral or philosophical principles involved here, as far as he's concerned, anyway. Exactly. Exactly. All right, just two more questions, Doug. Isn't it in a way a white supremacist dream if the Western world believes that the EU, NATO, and the US should decide everything in the world and be smart about everything? Well, that's kind of two questions. First of all, those are not. Look, the UN is not a white enterprise. It's controlled by... No, no, sorry. He said EU, NATO, and the US. So if I didn't say it correctly.

42:18Oh, the US, not the UN. No, forget about it. Correct. And NATO should be abolished. It's basically just a provocation for the world war three. Look, I hate to say it, but the white race as an entity is on the slippery slope. I mean, white populations everywhere in the world are diminishing, are not reproducing, or they're reproducing it like an average of one or one point one or something like that. Kids per female, which means the populations in decline. And that's not really true of the third world population. So forget about this, you know, white races and white... The white race is on a slippery slope. And because the white race is what brought,

43:21I got to sound so racist. I mean, but the whole world is turning racist. Race relations in the US deteriorated really a lot in the last 30 years. I thought everything was going to be if not come by, but it was pretty mellow, which was great, but with some exceptions. I made along the way, of course, but now there's a lot of actual race hatred that's coming up from the ground level. Forget about the race baiting that's coming from top down, mostly from the black side, frankly. So well, not a good prognosis. All right, one last question. Michael Jan predicts that the Zionists versus the CCP to Chinese conflict will eventually hit South America, conflict over the bioboceanic corridor involving Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Chile with Uruguay likely pulled in. Since that's in your backyard,

44:27do you see real risk there? Well, I'll say it's like in my front yard. But what do you think, Doug? Do you see any real risk of that? I don't see a big threat from China to the southern corner of South America or South America generally. I mean, what am I missing? The Chinese I think are taking over Africa. That's a different story, but that's I. What do you think? I think that Michael Jan's theory is that China is dependent in some way on imports from Brazil of soybeans and other raw materials and has invested a lot on in that bioboceanic corridor, in particular, and that the other side of that being the Zionists basically will attack them. And by the Zionists, you know, you've kind of put the US in that group at least currently. And that he thinks that they would attack them via the proxy, Argentina.

45:29I don't think that's realistic scenario at all. Argentina doesn't have a military at all, really, to speak of. And the average Argentine pretty well despises the military, which is basically cease to exist. I mean, one of the most representative things about the Argentine military was, it was about 20 years ago. There was a picture of an Argentine destroyer sitting at the dock that healed over on its side and sunk. Do you remember that? It was kind of a famous picture. So, you know, forget about that. I think all Argentina has militarily is those 50 and F-16s, which are an unexplained mystery, probably to do with Falkon's Zoll, I hope not. But no, the chances of Argentine attacking Brazil, I'd say are approximately zero. And those odds are not going to change soon. I mean, is there any, is there any, even,

46:33as long as I see Brazilians and Argentines interact is here, and they seem to get along just fine. Like, zero animosity between the countries at all on any side. Am I wrong about that? Is there like some late nanomosity I'm not aware of? I don't think so, and I think you're absolutely right. Anyway, Brazil really ought to be at least two countries, probably three, divided demographically. And, no, Argentina is not in a position to do anything to Brazil anyway. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think so. This is what I talked about. What I talked to Michael about this, I was like, in another conversation, I said to him, I'm not saying that people won't try and target Brazil for one reason or another. But like the way they target them, I don't think I can't imagine it's through Argentina. I'm like, you think geographically they're close, but they're not really, you know, I mean, it's really hard to see exactly the point of attack there. You know, to any central part.

47:38What was the nature of the attack B? I mean, what are you going to get a couple divisions of Argentine soldiers? Are they going to march into to solve Palo? That's not going to happen. It's like impossible. It is impossible. So I just think, you know, but it doesn't mean there couldn't be other ways that they're attacked. And I think the biggest thing right now, and it will make it like this next election for Brazil, whether or not they Lula, it's Lula or what's the guy. Bolsonaro, his son. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like tied in the polls right now. So, you know, if Bolsonaro's son wins, then they'll be on the side of, you know, the US anyway. So yeah, I think there's other ways to crack that nut. Yeah. And I think I think Michael's barking up the wrong tree when it comes to Argentina and Brazil. That's going to be fine. But he's barking up the right tree, I think, when he was talking about

48:43using hydraulic warfare to wash away Egypt, which would be an event of biblical magnitude. And it's not unlikely. This catastrophic as it would be. Yeah, I know. That was a pretty impressive thought demonstration, I think. He's showing away very well. Yeah, very intelligent. You got to imagine that there are people in the Israeli government that have already mapped that out the same thing. So it would make a lot of sense for them in a lot of ways. And it even has plausible deniability, which they're pretty good at that type of thing. Yeah. All right. Well, that's all the questions we've got for today. So we'll leave it there and hope you have a good weekend and we'll see you back next Wednesday. Well, thanks. And for some reason, nothing seems to happen on the weekend. So I hope it's yeah, quiet and peaceful. Yeah. Yeah. Things are sort of slowing down into like a low-intensity conflict

49:47everywhere in the world. So it's like you don't notice it anymore. Yeah. And since this psychological warfare is a major part of these conflicts on the weekend, everybody kind of takes a need of breaks. Yeah. Well, it's the last weekend of summer, right? Isn't this officially the end? God, time flies. It's just shocking. Yeah. All right. Well, enjoy a dog, get out and use a pool or something. Yeah. I'm going to as a matter of fact. All right. Well, have a good weekend. Thanks. Thanks Matt.
