1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:03,390 The world is not going to change the world order. 2 00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:04,590 It's not going to change. 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,270 It has already changed. 4 00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,400 A series of events have already begun, have already been put in place that 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,880 will lead to the upheaval and the changing of the global world order. 6 00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:22,800 Now, as the west is pushed, pushing for environmental justice in 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,090 squabbles over the alphabet agenda and attacking the morals and Colts. 8 00:00:28,005 --> 00:00:35,925 That is the very foundation of healthy and strong societies and economies. 9 00:00:36,525 --> 00:00:40,035 Well, it seems that the west is completely asleep. 10 00:00:40,394 --> 00:00:45,435 There's a complete change of the global world order, but 11 00:00:45,435 --> 00:00:48,555 the west is completely lost. 12 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:55,610 In ridiculous culture wars, ridiculous culture squabbles, and they do not 13 00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:59,000 recognize what has already come upon them. 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000 What has already entered their house. 15 00:01:02,030 --> 00:01:07,220 Now, the question for you and I, however, is how will we respond 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,930 in who will we be friends? 17 00:01:09,635 --> 00:01:10,985 Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot. 18 00:01:10,985 --> 00:01:14,885 And you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot out show where we uncover purpose, pursue 19 00:01:14,885 --> 00:01:19,355 truth and own the future episode 273. 20 00:01:19,355 --> 00:01:23,585 It is March 10th, 2022. 21 00:01:23,915 --> 00:01:29,645 And the, the war between Russia and Ukraine has slowed a little bit, 22 00:01:29,735 --> 00:01:35,315 but it is for sure, continuing to escalate is continuing to escalate. 23 00:01:37,025 --> 00:01:37,745 I personally. 24 00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:47,700 Now I'm not the world's most leading Russian NATO geopolitical expert. 25 00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:52,770 I've never pretended to be so, but I personally have a hard time seeing 26 00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:58,800 how Putin in the bear of Russia, who is seemingly being back further and 27 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,310 further into a corner, finding less and less friends across the world. 28 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:06,170 Having an economy that is being. 29 00:02:07,705 --> 00:02:10,705 Currently turning more and more to Russia. 30 00:02:10,735 --> 00:02:16,195 I have a hard time seeing how Putin is going to accept this failure. 31 00:02:16,315 --> 00:02:17,005 This loss. 32 00:02:17,005 --> 00:02:21,625 Now there are signs that Salinsky is going to be coming to the table 33 00:02:21,625 --> 00:02:24,865 and being willing to not join NATO. 34 00:02:24,865 --> 00:02:29,185 He said this week that he doesn't want to join NATO begging on his knees to join. 35 00:02:29,545 --> 00:02:34,485 And he, he may actually, uh, let Russia annex some of. 36 00:02:35,715 --> 00:02:38,595 Areas of the Ukraine in order to buy peace. 37 00:02:38,595 --> 00:02:39,885 But how long will that last? 38 00:02:40,145 --> 00:02:40,695 Not sure. 39 00:02:41,385 --> 00:02:46,215 NATO is continuing to intervene on Ukraine's behalf. 40 00:02:46,245 --> 00:02:50,775 Poland is sending MIGS to Ukraine for them to use. 41 00:02:51,435 --> 00:02:54,345 And the U S is saying that they're going to backfill a lot of people. 42 00:02:55,410 --> 00:03:01,920 That this is signaling that NATO is entering this war with Russia. 43 00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:05,579 There's actually, uh, a battalion of Canadian soldiers. 44 00:03:05,579 --> 00:03:09,690 There's so many Canadians fighting for Ukraine that there's a whole battalion 45 00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:14,880 of Canadian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. 46 00:03:15,869 --> 00:03:21,600 And rightly so that the devastation 1.5 million almost 2 million refugees 47 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:23,519 have fled Ukraine up to this point. 48 00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:27,450 Into surrounding nations, mostly Poland, 49 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:33,720 but it is hard to see how this is going to deescalate. 50 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:39,690 And it's very easy to see how this and many experts believe that this is the 51 00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:45,420 trigger point, the trigger event that is going to unfold into the third world war. 52 00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:50,010 Just like there were trigger events that unfolded into the first and second 53 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:51,570 world war, the assassination of France. 54 00:03:52,785 --> 00:03:58,125 Led to mobilization of troops and this unstoppable, like pulling the pin out of 55 00:03:58,125 --> 00:04:00,585 a grenade and unstoppable progression. 56 00:04:01,665 --> 00:04:03,795 Same thing happened in world war II. 57 00:04:04,575 --> 00:04:07,155 Hitler kept on invading more and more land. 58 00:04:08,355 --> 00:04:14,865 And finally UK declared war on Hitler and he was shocked, but it led to the, the 59 00:04:14,895 --> 00:04:17,985 unraveling of Europe into world war II. 60 00:04:18,015 --> 00:04:20,894 Many people believe that this is that, that this is. 61 00:04:22,035 --> 00:04:24,255 The grain of rice that tip the scales. 62 00:04:24,255 --> 00:04:32,145 As we head into this new world war and with big wars, there comes big global 63 00:04:32,145 --> 00:04:34,335 restructuring of the world order. 64 00:04:34,335 --> 00:04:36,465 We already talked about this. 65 00:04:36,645 --> 00:04:38,775 It's like, I'm a broken record on this show. 66 00:04:40,034 --> 00:04:42,825 What happened in Afghanistan? 67 00:04:43,355 --> 00:04:46,875 It wasn't the catalyst, but it was a sign. 68 00:04:46,875 --> 00:04:48,795 It was a, a litmus test. 69 00:04:49,710 --> 00:04:54,480 That there is a new world order that is being established currently, and it's not 70 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,180 necessarily coming from global elites. 71 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,420 Oftentimes it's also grassroots up. 72 00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:00,990 Sure. 73 00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:06,090 Global leads can be affecting the way that culture is being shaped by 74 00:05:06,090 --> 00:05:10,560 the things that they fund into the movements that they push forward. 75 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,810 But I think that these are greater macro shifts that are. 76 00:05:16,875 --> 00:05:20,734 Integrated into many parts of society, not just some people in 77 00:05:21,044 --> 00:05:25,484 an ivory tower, somewhere pulling strengths, though, that of course 78 00:05:25,755 --> 00:05:33,674 plays a role this week on Instagram, I posted a poll on whether people 79 00:05:33,674 --> 00:05:35,745 thought that this was true or false. 80 00:05:35,745 --> 00:05:37,965 The enemy of my enemy is my friend. 81 00:05:38,715 --> 00:05:41,174 The enemy of my enemy is my friend. 82 00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:41,895 Is that true? 83 00:05:41,895 --> 00:05:43,304 Or is that a fallacy? 84 00:05:43,815 --> 00:05:44,505 And the split was. 85 00:05:45,315 --> 00:05:47,145 45% saying that's true. 86 00:05:47,145 --> 00:05:52,034 And 56% saying or 55% saying that that is false. 87 00:05:52,335 --> 00:05:53,835 And I fall on the false then. 88 00:05:53,835 --> 00:05:56,775 Now of course there are times where that is true with the 89 00:05:56,775 --> 00:05:58,695 enemy of my enemy is my friend. 90 00:05:58,695 --> 00:06:03,705 And if we are being attacked, we can stand together. 91 00:06:04,395 --> 00:06:07,215 Even though we might not have a bilateral agreement and we 92 00:06:07,215 --> 00:06:08,655 can face our enemy together. 93 00:06:09,615 --> 00:06:12,945 But right now I'm seeing this logic being applied to this. 94 00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:20,760 Conflict specifically, specifically from American pundits in the west. 95 00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:22,710 That don't like the media. 96 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,670 I don't like the media. 97 00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:26,070 I don't like the censorship that goes on. 98 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:27,390 I don't like MSN. 99 00:06:27,390 --> 00:06:29,400 I don't like MSM BC. 100 00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:32,340 I don't like the big tech censorship. 101 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,660 In fact, I'm kind of shocked right now. 102 00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:38,220 I'm on telegram. 103 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680 I use my American phone number on telegram. 104 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,830 The Russian times, direction news. 105 00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:48,270 Our tea is blocked on telegram telegram, which is often considered 106 00:06:49,349 --> 00:06:53,310 a censorship free platform where you can get information to news. 107 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,730 Now I do not believe everything that comes through our team. 108 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,670 Most of it sounds and looks like propaganda, but in order to do this 109 00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:08,880 show, I want to be able to read what is being said by the opposing party. 110 00:07:08,909 --> 00:07:09,120 Now. 111 00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:14,400 Naturally not everyone is going to be so discerning in their eye. 112 00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:17,880 Not everyone is going to take everything that comes out on the news media with a 113 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,020 grain of salt and they just believe it as propaganda and they push it forward. 114 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,680 But the same thing is happening in, in Russia in Russia has been 115 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,240 cut off from Facebook's been cut off from CNN has been cut off from 116 00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:35,970 the news American news sources. 117 00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:38,520 Censorship is happening there and now. 118 00:07:40,474 --> 00:07:41,405 Have pointed to that. 119 00:07:41,405 --> 00:07:44,854 Look at the censorship that's happening in, in Russia. 120 00:07:45,664 --> 00:07:48,364 See, they're just a bunch of dictators. 121 00:07:48,364 --> 00:07:51,065 They're a bunch of tyrants at the same time. 122 00:07:51,215 --> 00:07:56,794 Look at the, the censorship that's happening in the west via big tech and 123 00:07:56,794 --> 00:08:01,655 the further closing off of information, I, I do not, and this is where it 124 00:08:01,655 --> 00:08:07,325 comes in people then see, and they look like, wait, MSNBC is supporting. 125 00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:13,200 Uh, Ukraine and Zalinsky of the Biden administration who got paid off by 126 00:08:13,229 --> 00:08:18,390 Ukraine is supporting Solinski oh, I'm going to, I'm going to support 127 00:08:19,289 --> 00:08:26,099 Putin because he's emptying the swamp in Ukraine and he's doing what 128 00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:28,469 we wanted Trump to do in America. 129 00:08:28,799 --> 00:08:30,539 That to me is so absurd. 130 00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:34,140 The enemy of your enemy is not your friend in this situation. 131 00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:35,520 Putin is not your. 132 00:08:37,010 --> 00:08:46,010 Uh, many other people who tend to have a, the people that I've read. 133 00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:47,480 How about I put it this way? 134 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,130 The people that I've seen on social media, who I know tend to have a slant 135 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,720 towards antisemitism have also sided with Putin saying, ah, and this has been on 136 00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:03,650 the, on telegram and many other places. 137 00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:08,730 People are saying, oh, look who Jen's going in. 138 00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:11,670 And he's not the Ukraine. 139 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:15,150 And he's kicking out the Jews that are running the Ukraine. 140 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,320 And this is a great thing. 141 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,180 Cause he's reading the Jews from the Ukraine. 142 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:21,950 Putin is not your friend. 143 00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:27,940 Look, look at what Putin did in the war in Syria, bombing 144 00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:30,730 hundreds, bombing food lines. 145 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:32,740 These are well-documented things that. 146 00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:41,320 So just because you might not like what big tech censorship is doing. 147 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:42,010 I don't like it. 148 00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:46,180 I don't like what big tech center sip chip is doing, even in this conflict, because 149 00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:49,660 I want to be able to get the information that's coming from the other side. 150 00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:54,430 I want to have a full picture, but that doesn't mean I'm going to side with what 151 00:09:54,430 --> 00:09:59,920 is happening in Ukraine against civilians. 152 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,580 Thanks. 153 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:02,730 Absolutely not. 154 00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:05,100 He is a madman who who's off his rocker. 155 00:10:05,170 --> 00:10:08,910 We are being the globe is being led into war, war three. 156 00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:12,569 I do believe I do believe that I could be very wrong. 157 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,010 I hope I'm wrong because it means there's a lot of chaos and pain and 158 00:10:17,010 --> 00:10:20,550 hurt and hardship and disappointment that will come into the world. 159 00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:22,980 But how will we respond to that? 160 00:10:23,010 --> 00:10:28,200 Well, before we get into our response and some wisdom of how 161 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,210 to walk out, potentially this. 162 00:10:31,425 --> 00:10:35,655 Season of our life, which we'll be covering in the Weaver nuMe section. 163 00:10:38,785 --> 00:10:45,745 I want to touch on how world orders come to power, what world orders are and 164 00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:48,145 how world orders get changed and fall. 165 00:10:48,175 --> 00:10:50,995 How do superpowers become super powers? 166 00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,485 Well, I was sent this. 167 00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,960 This video is about a 30 minute video by Ray Dalio, uh, from his book principles 168 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,630 for dealing with the changing world order. 169 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,520 And this is a 30, 40 minute video, highly recommended. 170 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,820 The link is in the show notes, of course, highly recommended, but we're 171 00:11:11,820 --> 00:11:19,290 going to hit the top level thoughts to help us see how nations and 172 00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:21,390 empires rise to the top of the world. 173 00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:23,655 And how they fall. 174 00:11:23,655 --> 00:11:28,455 What is the progression, which that helps us see why and what place we are in 175 00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:32,295 history right now, when it comes to the current world order, when it comes to the 176 00:11:32,835 --> 00:11:38,295 current state of America's power in the world, the dollars power in the world, and 177 00:11:38,295 --> 00:11:44,985 what might happen as that shrinks as that, it's not going to shrink slowly over time. 178 00:11:45,975 --> 00:11:49,815 And right now, It still has its dominance in the global markets, 179 00:11:50,265 --> 00:11:55,425 but when the dollar is no longer the one world, the reserve currency 180 00:11:55,485 --> 00:11:57,615 of the globe, it won't just shrink. 181 00:11:57,825 --> 00:11:58,575 It will crash. 182 00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:05,115 Miracle will go on just like UK has gone on just like France and the Netherlands 183 00:12:05,145 --> 00:12:09,525 have gone on just like the Ottoman empire and in different varying degrees 184 00:12:09,525 --> 00:12:13,725 have go on civilizations, continue even past their decadence in demand. 185 00:12:14,895 --> 00:12:19,035 So it's not that America is going to cease to exist, but it's definitely going 186 00:12:19,035 --> 00:12:26,595 to restructure the current power and trade and economic stability in the world 187 00:12:26,655 --> 00:12:31,454 until a new world power fully emerges and brings a level of stabilization. 188 00:12:31,454 --> 00:12:35,715 But will that be a stabilization that you and I like or want to 189 00:12:35,715 --> 00:12:42,225 actually be a part of here's Ray Dalio on, uh, a couple clips. 190 00:12:43,155 --> 00:12:48,224 His new book, and this is like a really cool infographic of video 191 00:12:48,224 --> 00:12:53,474 that he's put together to really help explain how these shifts happen. 192 00:12:53,474 --> 00:12:58,574 So first we're going to dive into, he's going to dive into the eight 193 00:12:58,995 --> 00:13:06,344 principles and metrics that we look at that determine the strength of a empire. 194 00:13:06,735 --> 00:13:09,344 And it looks at how these empires. 195 00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:14,200 Come up from the ashes, come up from nothing into something. 196 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,530 Great. 197 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,820 And back into the ashes here is Bray in this study. 198 00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:20,530 I used eight metrics. 199 00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:25,750 Each country's measure of total power is derived by averaging them together. 200 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:26,710 They are. 201 00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:33,590 Education inventiveness and technology development competitiveness in global 202 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:40,220 markets, economic output, share of world trade, military strength, the 203 00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:45,020 power of their financial center for capital markets and the strength of 204 00:13:45,020 --> 00:13:47,330 their currency as a reserve currency. 205 00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:50,300 So we see here that there are eight. 206 00:13:52,605 --> 00:13:56,295 Areas of society that one builds on another first. 207 00:13:56,295 --> 00:13:57,555 It starts with education. 208 00:13:57,555 --> 00:14:00,135 As a nation grows more educated. 209 00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:03,915 They then are able to develop new tech and become innovative. 210 00:14:04,305 --> 00:14:06,525 As they grow in their innovation. 211 00:14:06,675 --> 00:14:09,285 They then become competitive in global markets. 212 00:14:09,285 --> 00:14:13,635 People want to buy from them because they have new innovative technology 213 00:14:14,295 --> 00:14:16,545 that then increases their economic. 214 00:14:17,550 --> 00:14:18,840 There throughout the bottom. 215 00:14:19,230 --> 00:14:22,020 So you're able to have cheap labor prices. 216 00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:26,610 You're not the most expensive option on the market, but you're providing 217 00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:28,860 a better product for less money. 218 00:14:29,070 --> 00:14:38,250 And so the world starts to trade more and more with that nation with, as the trade 219 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:44,460 expands, the military is able to have more finances to protect their trade routes. 220 00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:44,630 This. 221 00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,084 Paul I'll finish this. 222 00:14:47,084 --> 00:14:47,655 And then I'll say this. 223 00:14:47,685 --> 00:14:52,875 This is why from the military strength, mostly guarding trade routes and 224 00:14:52,875 --> 00:14:59,865 stability of their economic, uh, finance, financial, uh, state in the 225 00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:04,694 world to protect your trade routes because that fuels the economy exports. 226 00:15:05,175 --> 00:15:11,025 They then grow into a financial center of the world as they grow that up. 227 00:15:11,594 --> 00:15:13,875 People want to buy. 228 00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:18,765 The currency of that nation, whether it was the pound or whether it was 229 00:15:18,855 --> 00:15:22,035 the dollar or whether it will be the digital yen in the future, we'll 230 00:15:22,035 --> 00:15:27,105 see, they want to buy because they know this is a stable currency. 231 00:15:27,465 --> 00:15:31,155 And if I have this currency, I can trade in this currency and it gives 232 00:15:31,155 --> 00:15:34,635 me a level of stability, not only in my nation, but in my personal life. 233 00:15:35,295 --> 00:15:38,415 Well, that's how it all rises. 234 00:15:38,415 --> 00:15:38,595 Now. 235 00:15:38,685 --> 00:15:40,065 This is one reason we have. 236 00:15:41,310 --> 00:15:45,689 About the new silk road coming out of China. 237 00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:49,620 This is why we've been talking about the quad versus China. 238 00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:54,180 This is why we talked about what was happening in Miramar with the 239 00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:59,670 revolution that took place in 2021, because of critical trade routes. 240 00:15:59,670 --> 00:16:02,370 This is everything that we're seeing right now in Russia is. 241 00:16:03,390 --> 00:16:08,220 About how pipelines are going to play a massive role into the future 242 00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:13,680 that we are not done with oil or fossil fuels, but it is the driving 243 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,380 factor of energy consumption, which maintains and strengthens nations. 244 00:16:19,410 --> 00:16:25,350 We talked about these fuel lines pipelines, the north one and two, we 245 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:26,850 talked about the Keystone pipeline. 246 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,610 We talked about pipelines that are being run across Saudi Arabia. 247 00:16:32,530 --> 00:16:40,770 These are all, these are all critical infrastructures that build 248 00:16:40,770 --> 00:16:42,270 an enable world power as well. 249 00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:49,949 So Ray Dalio goes on to explain how these powers rise, how these powers fall. 250 00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:54,420 And I think as we, as you listen to this, it will be very apparent. 251 00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:55,680 It will be very clear. 252 00:16:56,805 --> 00:17:01,905 We are right now in this cycle, which if we can figure out where we are, 253 00:17:02,204 --> 00:17:07,605 we can figure out, we can understand and discern the hour that we're in. 254 00:17:09,135 --> 00:17:14,264 And that will help us discern how to behave, how to act, how to react. 255 00:17:15,254 --> 00:17:21,915 Because if you are in a, if you were in a market, Where everything 256 00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:23,954 is going up, up, up, up, up. 257 00:17:24,285 --> 00:17:26,204 You don't want to be just stacking your cash. 258 00:17:26,204 --> 00:17:27,765 You want to be buying in the market. 259 00:17:28,125 --> 00:17:31,485 But if you can see that there's about to be a crash. 260 00:17:31,545 --> 00:17:33,945 What are you going to do with your finances differently? 261 00:17:34,815 --> 00:17:35,355 Same thing. 262 00:17:35,445 --> 00:17:40,245 If you, if you are planting your seeds in the middle of 263 00:17:40,245 --> 00:17:42,285 winter, well, that's a bad idea. 264 00:17:42,285 --> 00:17:45,615 You need to know what season you're in to know what activity to do. 265 00:17:46,035 --> 00:17:49,845 If it's in the middle of harvest and you're just laying down. 266 00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:55,290 Counting how much wheat you have and being super stoked that you're now 267 00:17:55,290 --> 00:17:59,129 so rich, but you're not out in the field harvesting during harvest time. 268 00:17:59,399 --> 00:18:00,450 You're going to lose your harvest. 269 00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:04,889 We need to know the times and the seasons that we live in. 270 00:18:05,070 --> 00:18:09,060 Maybe we can't change macro global economics, but we can 271 00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:12,480 take action for our family. 272 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:12,930 Here's what. 273 00:18:13,935 --> 00:18:18,645 By examining the sequences from many countries, we can see how a 274 00:18:18,645 --> 00:18:24,735 typical cycle transpires and because the wiggles can be confusing. 275 00:18:25,064 --> 00:18:29,595 We can simplify it a bit to focus on the pattern of cause effect, 276 00:18:29,595 --> 00:18:33,975 relationships that drive the rise and decline of a typical empire. 277 00:18:34,605 --> 00:18:40,004 So if you're listening on a podcast, 2.0 certified app, you can look down at 278 00:18:40,004 --> 00:18:41,895 your phone right now and you can see. 279 00:18:42,929 --> 00:18:48,990 The the, the different stages of an empire. 280 00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:53,010 And when he's talking about these squiggly lines, he's talking about how 281 00:18:53,159 --> 00:18:55,679 it's not just a clear one-to-one ratio. 282 00:18:55,679 --> 00:18:59,370 It's these things, these different metrics of education, trade innovation, 283 00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:03,840 military are going up and down at different points in a Empire's history, 284 00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:11,070 but we can simplify it to able to see and have a framework to know where we are. 285 00:19:11,925 --> 00:19:12,345 In. 286 00:19:13,365 --> 00:19:18,225 In a timeline of an empire history relationships that drive the rise 287 00:19:18,225 --> 00:19:23,805 and decline of a typical empire, as you can see better education 288 00:19:23,895 --> 00:19:28,635 typically leads to increased innovation and technology development. 289 00:19:28,785 --> 00:19:33,345 And with a lag the establishment of the currency as a reserve 290 00:19:33,375 --> 00:19:36,165 currency, you can also see that. 291 00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:41,540 Forces then declined in a similar water, reinforcing each other's decline. 292 00:19:42,590 --> 00:19:43,100 Let's now. 293 00:19:44,530 --> 00:19:50,660 So, as we said before, as we explained, one point leads to the other education 294 00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:54,410 leads to innovation leaves, the competitive diff leads to economic 295 00:19:54,410 --> 00:20:01,250 output, which finally leads to, but lags to be the global reserve currency. 296 00:20:03,140 --> 00:20:05,390 Well, but then as all of these. 297 00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,010 Metrics rise. 298 00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:12,230 Education begins to fall. 299 00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:13,460 Innovation begins to fall. 300 00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:16,370 Competitive output begins to fall. 301 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:21,070 World trade begins to fall, and that then leads to. 302 00:20:22,110 --> 00:20:24,600 And radio explains exactly what's happening in that decline. 303 00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:28,379 Typical sequence of events going on inside a country that 304 00:20:28,379 --> 00:20:30,780 produces these rises and declines. 305 00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:36,990 In a nutshell, the big cycle typically begins after a major conflict. 306 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:43,649 Often a war establishes the new leading power and the new world order because 307 00:20:43,649 --> 00:20:45,960 no one wants to challenge this power. 308 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,320 Peace and prosperity typically follows. 309 00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:53,010 As people get used to this peace and prosperity, they 310 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,440 increasingly bet on it continuing. 311 00:20:56,010 --> 00:21:00,570 They borrow money to do that, which eventually leads to a financial bubble. 312 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,420 The empire share of trade grows. 313 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,500 And when most transactions are conducted in its currency, it 314 00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:13,800 becomes a reserve currency, which leads to even more at the same time. 315 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:14,190 This. 316 00:21:14,889 --> 00:21:18,040 Prosperity distributes wealth on evenly. 317 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,740 So the wealth gap typically grows between rich halves and the poor have nots. 318 00:21:24,909 --> 00:21:29,590 Eventually the financial bubble bursts, which leads to the printing of money 319 00:21:31,209 --> 00:21:36,010 and increased internal conflict between the rich and the poor, which leads to 320 00:21:36,010 --> 00:21:38,800 some form of revolution to redistribute. 321 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,959 Well, this can happen peaceful. 322 00:21:41,470 --> 00:21:47,170 Or as a civil war while the empire struggles with this internal conflict, 323 00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:52,870 its power diminishes relative to external rival powers on the rise. 324 00:21:53,410 --> 00:21:58,480 When a new rising power gets strong enough to compete with the dominant power that 325 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:05,590 is having domestic breakdowns, external conflicts, most typically wars take place 326 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,830 out of these internal and external wars. 327 00:22:09,550 --> 00:22:16,120 New winners and losers, then the winners get together to create the new world 328 00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,970 order and the cycle begins again. 329 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,600 We can, we can really easily look at what's been happening in America 330 00:22:26,050 --> 00:22:32,500 in the west to see where we are in this cycle with the current world 331 00:22:32,530 --> 00:22:35,710 order, we can see that America's debt. 332 00:22:36,975 --> 00:22:41,175 Well, over 20 23, 20 $4 trillion. 333 00:22:41,655 --> 00:22:47,475 America keeps on printing more and more money to satisfy their debts gone 334 00:22:47,475 --> 00:22:55,754 off the gold standard long ago, we saw in 20, 20 massive riots and unrest 335 00:22:55,814 --> 00:23:05,024 across America, as, as people wanted to redistribute wealth as their chaos within. 336 00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:07,950 The global power. 337 00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:15,570 And that continues today where, where people are fighting in, fighting in 338 00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:21,990 a nation over the distribution of wealth, over global warming over, 339 00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:28,500 uh, environmental justice, as, as they are saying, environmental 340 00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:31,850 justice, that printing of. 341 00:23:33,889 --> 00:23:35,689 Is a sign of what's coming. 342 00:23:35,689 --> 00:23:38,419 It's a sign of the eventual collapse. 343 00:23:38,419 --> 00:23:43,550 Now this can be pushed off and kicked down the road for a number of 344 00:23:43,580 --> 00:23:51,590 years, decades, but we already see with the uprising of other global 345 00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:59,620 powers, challenging the strength of America on a global scale, especially 346 00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:01,300 with this current conflict with. 347 00:24:02,550 --> 00:24:08,189 In light of what has recently happened across the globe with deteriorating 348 00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:15,439 relationships in the middle east, it is clear that we will be seeing 349 00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:19,040 a new world order in our lifetime. 350 00:24:19,730 --> 00:24:22,129 Maybe it will be in a number of short years. 351 00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:24,470 Maybe we'll be in a number of long years. 352 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:25,070 I don't know. 353 00:24:26,770 --> 00:24:26,949 And this. 354 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,680 This is troubling because it means that for all of us, it is 355 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,600 going to be a time of unrest. 356 00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:44,870 And this is not just something that, as I said in the intro, that's coming 357 00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:50,660 from global powers that be, or the new world order a secret society somewhere. 358 00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:55,250 But this is the decadence of a society and that the moral 359 00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:56,780 degregation of its character. 360 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:05,950 That then leads to cultural values that undermine the economic 361 00:25:05,950 --> 00:25:10,600 strength, the character of a nation. 362 00:25:11,625 --> 00:25:15,945 Those things when that fabric of society is completely undermined, there is no 363 00:25:15,945 --> 00:25:21,405 other option, but for the fabric of society, the fabric of that power to fall 364 00:25:21,405 --> 00:25:27,405 apart and a new power to rise, this is the course of history for hundreds and 365 00:25:27,405 --> 00:25:31,305 hundreds, thousands of years, and will continue to be the course of history. 366 00:25:31,514 --> 00:25:34,695 But we are living in the middle of that course of history and we need to know. 367 00:25:36,390 --> 00:25:39,420 To defend against it, what to do to protect ourselves. 368 00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:44,520 So first, a couple of quick points before we move on to, uh, yeah, that makes sense. 369 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,890 What can you and I do? 370 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,480 Well, first cash is. 371 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,679 The us dollar is going to continue to inflate. 372 00:25:52,979 --> 00:25:57,870 So if you're saving money for that rainy day and you're saving it in the bank, in 373 00:25:57,870 --> 00:26:03,719 the us dollars, that money is becoming worth less and less and less with every 374 00:26:03,719 --> 00:26:06,240 passing day and week cash is trash. 375 00:26:06,449 --> 00:26:08,399 Do not forward cash. 376 00:26:09,030 --> 00:26:12,540 Don't go out and buy a new flat screen TV and a brand new 377 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,830 iPhone and stuff that you don't. 378 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,500 That's not the answer. 379 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:17,700 That's not, oh, Cassius trash. 380 00:26:17,730 --> 00:26:19,800 I'm just going to spend it on random stuff. 381 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:20,370 Nope. 382 00:26:20,550 --> 00:26:21,450 Invest it. 383 00:26:21,870 --> 00:26:28,650 Invest the cash that you have in assets that will bring you back in investment. 384 00:26:28,830 --> 00:26:32,520 That will bring you back the return on your investment, whether it's 385 00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:37,260 investing in real estate or whether it's investing in your education 386 00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:41,730 so that you can become someone who has an higher economic outlook. 387 00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:50,610 But do not just hold onto cash because it is devaluing devaluing day in and day out. 388 00:26:50,670 --> 00:26:55,530 Instead, take that and invest it and begin to invest whether it's in 389 00:26:55,530 --> 00:26:59,790 your yourself, whether it's in your education, not necessarily meaning go 390 00:26:59,790 --> 00:27:03,900 to university, unless you're becoming a doctor or engineer, but invest in ways 391 00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:07,980 that you can become more competitive invest in your small business so that 392 00:27:07,980 --> 00:27:09,990 it can become stronger and healthier. 393 00:27:12,195 --> 00:27:15,375 Earn more than you spend or produce more than you consume. 394 00:27:15,405 --> 00:27:20,985 Again, this is not just the hoarding of finances, but it's realizing that 395 00:27:21,405 --> 00:27:27,105 there is going to, with the crushing of the dollar, there's going to be a lot 396 00:27:27,105 --> 00:27:32,625 of unrest and you want to already have those disciplines in place to operate 397 00:27:33,015 --> 00:27:36,255 in reserves, to operate in conservative. 398 00:27:37,915 --> 00:27:41,155 So that you can build something from any others. 399 00:27:41,274 --> 00:27:46,784 The third point is build character and a culture of servitude it's 400 00:27:46,784 --> 00:27:50,485 through building our character and a culture of servitude that we can help. 401 00:27:51,735 --> 00:27:55,814 Because there is a turmoil and a shaking that is coming and it's going to cause 402 00:27:55,905 --> 00:28:00,014 many people to be in pain, many people to wake up and they're going to be 403 00:28:00,014 --> 00:28:04,965 looking for someone who has the vision, strength and resources, and love and 404 00:28:04,965 --> 00:28:11,254 kindness to help their community now be being a weak person and a broke person 405 00:28:11,284 --> 00:28:13,024 is not going to do anybody any good. 406 00:28:13,925 --> 00:28:14,824 Do not decide. 407 00:28:14,945 --> 00:28:17,615 Well, it's all going to the pot. 408 00:28:18,155 --> 00:28:18,274 So. 409 00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:23,834 I'm just going to kick back and be a weak person and, you know, hopefully live off 410 00:28:23,834 --> 00:28:29,284 the government and this ground around and you know, the dollar's devaluing anyways. 411 00:28:29,284 --> 00:28:30,465 So might as well just be broke. 412 00:28:30,915 --> 00:28:36,584 No, there's no brownie points for poverty instead become a 413 00:28:36,584 --> 00:28:38,925 strong and a generous person. 414 00:28:38,925 --> 00:28:42,284 Not you can't be strong, wealthy, and stingy that doesn't help anyone either. 415 00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:47,385 But if you are a strong and a generous person, Who gives more than you take. 416 00:28:47,715 --> 00:28:50,475 You will become a pillar in your society. 417 00:28:50,685 --> 00:28:54,615 And people are going to need that in the days to come 418 00:28:57,794 --> 00:29:00,975 in a post-truth society where we've exchanged truth for lies, and the reason 419 00:29:00,975 --> 00:29:06,764 for postmodernity rationality, the absurd finally makes sense oil prices. 420 00:29:06,764 --> 00:29:09,735 What everyone's talking about due to this. 421 00:29:10,905 --> 00:29:14,175 Between war between Russia and Ukraine. 422 00:29:14,175 --> 00:29:17,625 And no, we did not dive into exactly what's happening into 423 00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:20,025 the Ukraine and Russia right now. 424 00:29:22,125 --> 00:29:23,205 It's all over the place. 425 00:29:25,395 --> 00:29:29,265 But I want to focus on this oil point is oil was up to 426 00:29:29,265 --> 00:29:33,045 $130 a barrel just yesterday. 427 00:29:33,045 --> 00:29:38,085 It's at $110 a barrel when I checked it this morning and who's responsible. 428 00:29:38,955 --> 00:29:45,165 Well, here's Jen Saki in a press conference, March 9th, I believe, 429 00:29:45,945 --> 00:29:48,045 uh, saying who's responsible. 430 00:29:48,045 --> 00:29:50,265 It's definitely not president Joe Biden. 431 00:29:50,775 --> 00:29:52,095 It is Putin. 432 00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:53,775 According to. 433 00:29:55,535 --> 00:29:59,175 I'm saying, I just never imagined to see the cost of will I be able to afford gas? 434 00:29:59,245 --> 00:30:02,325 It is messaged to Americans who we're going to the gas station today. 435 00:30:02,805 --> 00:30:04,005 Sorry, here we go. 436 00:30:04,815 --> 00:30:08,715 Here's sockies here's sockies response to a question from a reporter. 437 00:30:08,985 --> 00:30:10,635 The reporter was reading a. 438 00:30:11,790 --> 00:30:15,689 From, uh, someone saying how horrible the gas prices are and it's 439 00:30:15,689 --> 00:30:19,020 deeply concerning here's Jen sock is your response since message is 440 00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:20,790 that he's going to do everything. 441 00:30:20,790 --> 00:30:26,040 We can, everything he can to reduce the impact on the American people, including, 442 00:30:26,129 --> 00:30:28,020 uh, the price of gas at the tank. 443 00:30:28,350 --> 00:30:32,189 What is also true is that because of the actions of president Putin, 444 00:30:32,459 --> 00:30:36,120 because he invaded a sovereign country that created instantly. 445 00:30:36,675 --> 00:30:40,095 In the markets that is something the president talked about even before, 446 00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:43,815 uh, Russia and president Putin move forward with their actions. 447 00:30:44,145 --> 00:30:45,825 Uh, but we have already taken steps. 448 00:30:45,825 --> 00:30:48,795 The president has already taken steps, historic release from the 449 00:30:48,795 --> 00:30:52,155 strategic petroleum reserve one that's done in a coordinated fashion. 450 00:30:52,485 --> 00:30:57,135 And clearly we will continue to have conversations with large oil producers 451 00:30:57,135 --> 00:31:01,325 and suppliers around the world about how to mitigate the impact and, and 452 00:31:01,335 --> 00:31:03,045 consider domestic options as well. 453 00:31:03,975 --> 00:31:10,409 So she said, And the Biden administration says that, well, this, all these 454 00:31:10,409 --> 00:31:17,610 high oil prices, really, this is just Putin doing because Putin invaded. 455 00:31:17,639 --> 00:31:19,949 All of a sudden we saw a spike in oil prices. 456 00:31:19,949 --> 00:31:23,280 It has nothing to do with policies in America. 457 00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:30,090 Well, has been here on the show before, uh, he tweeted out just so you 458 00:31:30,090 --> 00:31:33,960 know, the markets in oil prices aren't taking or shooting up because of. 459 00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:36,930 This was all going to happen anyways. 460 00:31:36,930 --> 00:31:46,710 And you look at the average us dollar gas prices and they are pretty low in 2020. 461 00:31:47,970 --> 00:31:49,650 And then 2021 comes around. 462 00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:55,110 A new president is seated and the gas prices climb, climb, climb, and 463 00:31:55,110 --> 00:32:00,900 begin to spike before Russia invades. 464 00:32:03,325 --> 00:32:07,345 Here is, uh, some more facts on the actions that Biden has taken. 465 00:32:07,345 --> 00:32:11,035 This is from unwoke narratives are unwell media. 466 00:32:13,435 --> 00:32:19,105 They compiled a list from NPR and Axios, from sources on actions and 467 00:32:19,105 --> 00:32:24,085 gas prices that Biden has taken since he became president in January, 2021, 468 00:32:24,655 --> 00:32:27,594 when the gas price was $2 and 33 cents. 469 00:32:27,595 --> 00:32:27,715 Again. 470 00:32:29,145 --> 00:32:30,315 Through an executive order. 471 00:32:30,405 --> 00:32:34,575 Biden began halting oil and gas leasing on federal lands and water. 472 00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:41,095 Same same time when he became president Biden, directed government 473 00:32:41,095 --> 00:32:45,504 agencies have limit eliminate fossil fuel subsidies by 2022. 474 00:32:47,475 --> 00:32:49,575 Come May, 2021. 475 00:32:49,605 --> 00:32:55,004 When gas is at three 11 gallon Biden administration pressures, big bang. 476 00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:59,850 Divest from traditional energy investments, AKA 477 00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:04,290 fossil fuels in June, 2021. 478 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,110 Biden revoked the permit and canceled the Keystone XL pipeline 479 00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:12,930 gas prices are up to three 15. 480 00:33:14,010 --> 00:33:17,339 August, 2021 prices are at 3 25. 481 00:33:18,075 --> 00:33:21,795 Called on Russia and OPEC to increase their oil production, to counter 482 00:33:21,795 --> 00:33:25,905 the rising gas prices instead of increasing domestic production. 483 00:33:27,795 --> 00:33:29,745 It's it makes no sense. 484 00:33:29,745 --> 00:33:35,115 He's calling for other nations to increase their oil exports, which would strengthen 485 00:33:35,115 --> 00:33:38,415 their nation so that we can import their. 486 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,050 Which was only going to weaken the U S economy. 487 00:33:43,409 --> 00:33:47,909 I mean, decisions like these are definitely leading to the restructuring 488 00:33:47,970 --> 00:33:55,860 of a new world order August, 2021 gases at 3 25 increased regulations and 489 00:33:55,860 --> 00:34:02,850 scrutiny to punish and sanction the fossil fuel industry, December, 2020 1, 3 39. 490 00:34:02,850 --> 00:34:07,409 Bolton bite halted, federal aid for new fossil fuel projects. 491 00:34:10,949 --> 00:34:16,170 February 22nd, 2022, just moments before the Russian invasion. 492 00:34:16,259 --> 00:34:19,589 So this is before the Russian invasion, when gas is at three 90 493 00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:25,199 Biden, delayed issuing new oil and gas drilling, permits, and federal land. 494 00:34:26,339 --> 00:34:33,029 So he's doing everything to stop America from producing more oil, which leads 495 00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:35,730 to its economic strength and trade. 496 00:34:36,779 --> 00:34:37,620 And instead we're doing. 497 00:34:38,444 --> 00:34:45,714 The us dollar to other nations and asking them to pump more oil, March 8th, 498 00:34:45,714 --> 00:34:49,455 2022 Biden banned Russian oil imports. 499 00:34:49,484 --> 00:34:55,364 Other Europeans have not followed suit hurting America more than Russia. 500 00:34:55,694 --> 00:34:59,325 Russia is just going to turn around and send the oil to China. 501 00:35:00,464 --> 00:35:01,904 They'll find places to sell, sell it. 502 00:35:05,490 --> 00:35:08,730 Gas is now over $4 a gallon for 25. 503 00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:12,420 This has been a slow increase over a number of months. 504 00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:16,140 Why, why, why would the Biden administration being doing this? 505 00:35:16,140 --> 00:35:22,140 Well, the Biden administration has limited fossil fuel production and did little 506 00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:28,410 to lessen its dependency with a lower supply and consistent demand, high prices. 507 00:35:28,529 --> 00:35:29,850 Aren't surprising. 508 00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:30,720 They're expect. 509 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,270 And this is an open strategy to push the American public, to 510 00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:38,370 switch for renewable energies. 511 00:35:38,790 --> 00:35:42,960 They're saying, Hey, I know, I know how we can get people to buy a new electric 512 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,940 car besides the fact that they're awesome. 513 00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:47,850 We can make gas really high. 514 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:52,500 And then when people complain about not being able to pay their gas bill, we can 515 00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:54,600 say, Hey, go out and buy an electric car. 516 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,940 If that's too much, if you can't afford gas by. 517 00:35:58,475 --> 00:35:59,975 But you can't afford gas. 518 00:36:00,035 --> 00:36:02,735 I don't think you're going to be able to afford an electric car. 519 00:36:05,055 --> 00:36:14,625 Well, in the turn of ironies, where does Biden turn to try to find an 520 00:36:14,655 --> 00:36:16,995 ally in his current oil crisis? 521 00:36:16,995 --> 00:36:20,955 Well, none other than Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. 522 00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:27,970 The Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and UAE Sheikh Mohammed bin 523 00:36:27,970 --> 00:36:34,720 Zayed on that here both declined the U S his request to speak with Mr. 524 00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,220 Biden in recent weeks. 525 00:36:36,580 --> 00:36:41,770 The U S official that the officials say that as Saudi and MRID officials 526 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560 have become more vocal in recent. 527 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:55,299 Saudi and UAE are not happy with America's lack of support. 528 00:36:56,170 --> 00:37:01,180 And they both declined to requests from Putin to say, Hey, let's get on the call. 529 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,250 We need to talk about Saudi and UAE increasing their oil supply. 530 00:37:09,185 --> 00:37:14,345 The region here is becoming the relationships and becoming strained due 531 00:37:14,345 --> 00:37:19,055 to the war in Yemen and due to Americans policies in the Gulf under Trump, it 532 00:37:19,055 --> 00:37:24,214 was very, very strong, but Biden has definitely taken steps away even as 533 00:37:24,214 --> 00:37:26,555 the UAE was bombed by who the rebels. 534 00:37:26,555 --> 00:37:30,875 And we talked about that here on the show, the Saudis, this a wall street 535 00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:33,694 journal report says the Saudis have signal that the relationship with 536 00:37:33,694 --> 00:37:35,975 Washington has deteriorated under Biden. 537 00:37:37,065 --> 00:37:41,115 They want more support for their innovation in Yemen, civil war help 538 00:37:41,145 --> 00:37:46,635 with their own civilian nuclear program is Iran moves ahead and legal immunity 539 00:37:46,635 --> 00:37:53,955 for Muhammad bin Salmaan who faces lawsuits over the killing in 2018 and 540 00:37:53,955 --> 00:37:59,595 Morati share the same concern about restrained us response to recent missile 541 00:37:59,985 --> 00:38:05,565 strikes by Iran back who the militants from Yemen in Yemen against the U S. 542 00:38:06,420 --> 00:38:11,070 And Saudi Arabia, both governments are concerned about the revival of 543 00:38:11,070 --> 00:38:15,720 the Iran nuclear deal, which doesn't address other security concerns of 544 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,800 theirs and has entered into the final stages of negotiation in recent weeks. 545 00:38:20,190 --> 00:38:22,140 So here's America side. 546 00:38:22,530 --> 00:38:25,470 Again, this is what the Obama administration did. 547 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,400 They're siding with Iran who is not our allies, not Americans, 548 00:38:32,430 --> 00:38:34,860 allies, not the collegiate allies. 549 00:38:36,315 --> 00:38:44,745 Once you develop Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons to bomb people in America. 550 00:38:45,555 --> 00:38:47,535 The Biden administration decides that. 551 00:38:47,535 --> 00:38:48,255 Yeah, it's a good idea. 552 00:38:48,255 --> 00:38:49,545 We're going to play into that. 553 00:38:50,025 --> 00:38:55,785 We're going to give and cut a deal with Iran, UAE and Saudi, not happy. 554 00:38:56,655 --> 00:39:02,775 Moreover, they, the Saudis and Emiratis have declined to pump more oil. 555 00:39:02,775 --> 00:39:04,665 Seeing that they're sticking with the production plan. 556 00:39:05,984 --> 00:39:09,555 Between their group and OPEC, the organization of petroleum 557 00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:15,345 exporting countries and a group of other producers led by Russia. 558 00:39:16,214 --> 00:39:20,384 The energy Alliance with Russia, one of the world's top oil producers has 559 00:39:20,384 --> 00:39:26,294 enhanced OPEX power while also bringing Saudi Emre and MRIs closer to Moscow. 560 00:39:27,524 --> 00:39:33,150 So in order for them to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Produce more oil. 561 00:39:33,390 --> 00:39:37,050 They'd have to break an agreement with OPEC and Russia. 562 00:39:37,620 --> 00:39:42,120 And frankly, because of the geopolitical situation and the deteriorating 563 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,410 relationships with America, they're saying, Hey, you're over a barrel. 564 00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:48,030 Quite literally, you're stuck. 565 00:39:48,750 --> 00:39:50,550 You got yourselves into this problem. 566 00:39:50,550 --> 00:39:52,980 You created these dynamics in our relationship. 567 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:55,590 Your power has waned. 568 00:39:56,010 --> 00:39:57,000 Your position has. 569 00:39:57,780 --> 00:40:00,570 We are not going to bow to you anymore. 570 00:40:00,570 --> 00:40:03,900 If you want to cut a deal with us, we can cut a deal, but 571 00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:05,220 you need to fix these areas. 572 00:40:05,220 --> 00:40:09,240 We're not just going to blatantly go along with what you're saying and what you're 573 00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,610 doing as you destroy your own economy. 574 00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:20,400 Bold move by UAE and by Saudi Arabia, one that I frankly agree with. 575 00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:21,780 I. 576 00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,030 It's like my, the old adage. 577 00:40:27,060 --> 00:40:30,330 My problem is your emergency is not my problem, or your 578 00:40:30,330 --> 00:40:33,240 problem is not my emergency, I guess, is how it actually goes. 579 00:40:35,790 --> 00:40:39,690 Interestingly enough, however, Mohammed bin Salmaan 580 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,550 and shake Mohammed did not here did take calls and talk to president 581 00:40:48,550 --> 00:40:52,330 Vladimir Putin last week after declining to speak with president. 582 00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:57,509 And they also both spoke with Ukraine's president and the Saudi officials who 583 00:40:57,529 --> 00:41:03,450 said that, uh, the us has requested that prince Mohammad bin Salman mediate 584 00:41:03,450 --> 00:41:08,009 the conflict, which he said the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is embarking on. 585 00:41:08,009 --> 00:41:09,750 So here Saudi Arabia is saying, you know what? 586 00:41:10,259 --> 00:41:15,120 We are going to work to mediate between Russia and Ukraine. 587 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,740 We're not going to play this American geopolitical nonsense. 588 00:41:20,715 --> 00:41:22,515 So we're going to try to find a middle ground. 589 00:41:22,515 --> 00:41:24,525 Why, why would they do that? 590 00:41:24,585 --> 00:41:30,585 Because they see that the power of America on a global scale is shifting. 591 00:41:30,795 --> 00:41:35,235 They know that sooner or later the U S dollar will no longer be 592 00:41:35,235 --> 00:41:36,795 the reserve currency of the world. 593 00:41:37,455 --> 00:41:43,065 There are new digital currencies from government organizations springing up. 594 00:41:43,275 --> 00:41:49,425 There will be a new one world currency, and they are being wise to. 595 00:41:50,855 --> 00:41:55,175 Figure out, where are they going to land when everything comes down? 596 00:41:55,175 --> 00:41:58,535 Well, this show is brought to you

--> 00:42:35,520 We'll be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment. 606 00:42:43,170 --> 00:42:46,140 Welcome back to Weaver and Luma part of the show where we take ancient 607 00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:50,580 wisdom and we weave it in with our everyday lives so that we can own 608 00:42:50,580 --> 00:42:53,250 our future and we've our destinies. 609 00:42:53,910 --> 00:43:01,870 But with these global shakings, with the global trauma, Many of our hopes 610 00:43:01,930 --> 00:43:04,089 and dreams are going to be dashed. 611 00:43:05,170 --> 00:43:09,910 Many of our, the way that we thought that our lives, the world would go 612 00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:16,640 to probably not going to turn out the way that we thought in the midst 613 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,960 of that disappointment in the midst of that pain and the midst of that 614 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,049 suffering, how will we respond? 615 00:43:24,379 --> 00:43:27,920 What will be our response in the midst of all. 616 00:43:29,964 --> 00:43:37,705 Well, there is a, a verse from scripture from the Bible that get this. 617 00:43:37,734 --> 00:43:41,694 This one gets me every time when I read this one, I think 618 00:43:41,694 --> 00:43:43,075 to myself, oh my goodness. 619 00:43:43,645 --> 00:43:45,805 I, I need to watch my heart. 620 00:43:46,285 --> 00:43:51,115 And it says now the just, or the righteous shall live by faith. 621 00:43:53,035 --> 00:43:56,365 Faith is faith is the things that you can see. 622 00:43:57,285 --> 00:44:00,165 With the eyes of your heart, the things that you believe and know 623 00:44:00,165 --> 00:44:03,285 to be true, the promises that you believe are over your life. 624 00:44:03,315 --> 00:44:04,035 That is faith. 625 00:44:05,875 --> 00:44:12,385 So we, the, just the ones who live in walk, rightly in the earth, don't live 626 00:44:12,385 --> 00:44:14,665 by what they see with their natural eye. 627 00:44:14,965 --> 00:44:17,995 But they live by the eyes of faith. 628 00:44:17,995 --> 00:44:21,925 They see something that is not as though it is, and they pull it into the 629 00:44:21,925 --> 00:44:24,175 future and they manifest it through. 630 00:44:25,635 --> 00:44:31,335 Through putting your hand to the plow and it goes on and says, but if anyone 631 00:44:31,335 --> 00:44:42,025 draws back or other versions, say if you shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure 632 00:44:42,055 --> 00:44:44,785 in him where I have no delight in him. 633 00:44:44,785 --> 00:44:46,615 I will not be pleased with him. 634 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:51,680 Those people who live and walk, rightly you just sleep in the earth. 635 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,670 They live by faith, not sight, not by what they feel, not by what they see 636 00:44:55,670 --> 00:45:00,380 around them, but they live by seeing a future and living for promises that 637 00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:03,799 they know they're meant to fulfill, but have not yet been fulfilled yet. 638 00:45:03,830 --> 00:45:06,020 There's probably delays in those promises. 639 00:45:06,650 --> 00:45:13,130 But if anyone shrinks back, if anyone checks out, if anyone says, you know what? 640 00:45:14,060 --> 00:45:14,390 Just. 641 00:45:15,900 --> 00:45:18,360 You know what the situation is just too complex. 642 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,410 You just don't understand. 643 00:45:20,370 --> 00:45:28,110 I'm just going to kind of check out if you shrink back, God has no pleasure in you. 644 00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:30,150 No delight in you. 645 00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:37,540 And this is a startling statement. 646 00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:42,890 This statement is one that should cause. 647 00:45:44,115 --> 00:45:47,625 To really think about how we are engaging our carts, our lives and 648 00:45:47,625 --> 00:45:53,275 our thoughts in the coming weeks and months and years, because we will all 649 00:45:53,275 --> 00:45:56,065 face trials and suffering in our life. 650 00:45:56,125 --> 00:46:02,335 Just as I explained, a few weeks ago, we suffered a miscarriage that really 651 00:46:02,345 --> 00:46:08,634 just, you know, hit my wife's and I's heart and just real complex way. 652 00:46:09,265 --> 00:46:12,475 And it can be really easy for me to either grow. 653 00:46:13,634 --> 00:46:17,505 For shrink back or say, yes, this is just too complex. 654 00:46:18,045 --> 00:46:24,285 Just kind of give up a little bit, just kind of compromise on, on the dreams 655 00:46:24,285 --> 00:46:27,725 in my heart a little bit, because it's just a little too painful to live. 656 00:46:27,765 --> 00:46:30,015 Feels like everything is dead right now. 657 00:46:30,045 --> 00:46:33,945 Everything is dead in the grave and I could just, I could check out 658 00:46:33,945 --> 00:46:35,625 and no one would fault me for it. 659 00:46:35,685 --> 00:46:39,525 No one would be like, yeah, it's, it's just, it's just hard, you know? 660 00:46:40,350 --> 00:46:42,930 Sometimes these things just don't work out the way that you think. 661 00:46:45,279 --> 00:46:48,069 And I could allow my heart to grow callous. 662 00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:53,500 It's not feel that pain and feel that emotion and press on through it, or, 663 00:46:54,970 --> 00:47:01,930 or instead of having my courage shrink up and shrivel up and shrink back 664 00:47:01,930 --> 00:47:04,149 into my cave and just choose comfort. 665 00:47:07,665 --> 00:47:10,365 Be like a lion and I could press forward. 666 00:47:10,605 --> 00:47:16,305 I could demand in my life to fulfill the promises that I 667 00:47:16,305 --> 00:47:19,665 know and believe and believe for them, even when I don't see them. 668 00:47:22,515 --> 00:47:28,995 And that to do that, it requires you and I, you requires us 669 00:47:28,995 --> 00:47:31,965 to allow our hearts feel. 670 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:38,970 To allow our hearts be touched by suffering to allow our hearts, to feel 671 00:47:39,150 --> 00:47:44,730 the complexities that we face, where we say, I have dreams to be this. 672 00:47:44,730 --> 00:47:46,050 I have promises to be this. 673 00:47:46,050 --> 00:47:48,090 I know this is what I am called to do. 674 00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:50,250 I know this is what I'm called to do. 675 00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:53,550 And yet I thought it would be here by now. 676 00:47:53,580 --> 00:47:55,020 I thought I'd experienced. 677 00:47:59,754 --> 00:48:04,825 And we hold on to the tension in that place and we don't stop doing good. 678 00:48:05,035 --> 00:48:07,525 We don't stop fighting for what we believe. 679 00:48:07,525 --> 00:48:08,634 We don't trunk back. 680 00:48:08,634 --> 00:48:12,595 We don't let our, our courage shrivel up like dried raisins. 681 00:48:13,915 --> 00:48:20,665 Instead we move forward with boldness, even when it looks crazy, even when it 682 00:48:20,665 --> 00:48:23,424 makes no sense, even when everyone says. 683 00:48:25,545 --> 00:48:31,095 World order is changing, you know, just stack food in your fridge and dried, 684 00:48:31,605 --> 00:48:37,545 dried, stored food and just, you know, play it safe and go off the grid. 685 00:48:37,545 --> 00:48:39,225 And don't ever talk to people again. 686 00:48:40,785 --> 00:48:47,565 Or you can say I'm going to stand up as a pillar, as a standard in 687 00:48:47,565 --> 00:48:49,775 society, and I'm going to maybe. 688 00:48:51,045 --> 00:48:53,235 Change the macro global economics. 689 00:48:53,265 --> 00:48:55,695 Maybe I'm not going to touch millions of lives. 690 00:48:56,055 --> 00:49:01,395 Maybe I'm not going to slow down or speed up any new world order process, 691 00:49:01,845 --> 00:49:04,155 but I can help the people around me. 692 00:49:04,305 --> 00:49:06,825 And one of the ways that you can help people around you is by sharing 693 00:49:06,825 --> 00:49:11,025 this podcast with them, you can text it to them, WhatsApp it to 694 00:49:11,025 --> 00:49:16,035 them, or posted on social media, but the greatest way that you can. 695 00:49:17,850 --> 00:49:22,890 Your friends around you is by sharing things that you get value from, rather 696 00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:24,870 than just ordering them to yourself. 697 00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:30,090 If you have a question and what's that Mia plus 1 2 0 2 9 2 2 0 2 2 0. 698 00:49:30,750 --> 00:49:33,180 And I will respond to you. 699 00:49:33,180 --> 00:49:39,150 Thank you so much for your time today as the world shifts and changes. 700 00:49:40,995 --> 00:49:45,225 Remember the enemy of your enemy does not necessarily mean that your 701 00:49:45,225 --> 00:49:51,195 friend be careful who you side and align with as the tides across the 702 00:49:51,195 --> 00:49:57,105 globe are changing and more so align inside with character and morals and 703 00:49:57,105 --> 00:49:59,985 values to go out and own the future.
