Tech Oligarchs and Praxis Cities

Good morning, I'm Malcolm Nance. And if you're seeing us three Schmdes in front of you Then you are watching the Black man spy cast for the U. S Who knows if we're going to have another award cast day number one hundred and thirty two since the start of the war in the Persian Gulf and the crisis that has since followed it and economic crisis that appears to be coming no matter what we do We're going to talk more about that. I've been watching experts these last few days, we started a minute late because we wanted to make sure the audio really worked. So we're working on that Uh so Let me introduce you to my co host, Jacob Carsbo, coming to us. Are you in Jutland or you at home? I can't tell I'm near the top of Denmark. Yeah. Yeah up there in the near the topough in your IKEA filled home. This is Jacob Carszve, Dangous intelligence The beach is just down there. The beach is just down there. Yeah, but that's also know as the North Sea. Who the hell wants to swim in that? No, no, no, no. Are you in the Baltic? No that not Yeah, it's inside the, you know, on the east coast So the top is twenty kilometers right in that direction is see North And then my beach is on the east coast And then it's about a fifteen kilometers to the west coast Oh. Yeah. Okaykay, that water's cold is what you're trying to tell us It's fresh, it's fresh. comeome on. That's a good way of describing it. It is fresh. It's nice and fresh. Okay, well good morning. you. We're seeing fresh waters full of freaking sharks of it. All it isal half Baltics, half North Sea, right U and watcha the gay lion not wearing his signature cool guy shirt with lions surrounding him Hailing to us from Minneapolis, Minnesota using his traditional hand crafted country you know, country bumkin coffee mug. I like that. And Jacob is sporting his traditional IKA vacation home mug. and I am extremely lazy. I I am just recycling. Yes? What's that? It's very cute. It's not anyone find the Airbn. Exactly All right, it's to slow down. We have a slight delay because we are coming across eight different time zones from Central European time to American Midwest time. I'm on the east coast in New York States and I am still supporting my official U.S Navy World War two. I think this one might be World War I, era. Coffee mug And and because I need it Like I said, I get up very early, but believe it or not, it has been actuallyual the temperatures have been very good here We' been getting rain for the last twenty four hours. We'll have rain for another twelve hours. and I'm happy about that because that means I don't have to go out cut the grats for a couple of days. Uh So that being said Welcome to the cast. First thing that we're going to do now that we have checked in everybody. Wow, we actually have got a very slow start today We've only got about six hundred, seven is seven hundred. followers thus far But that's interesting We're getting some of the comments off to the side and they're hilarious and distracting. I have not set up the chat yet. I will be setting that up in a few minutes when we start talking And if you can't see my t shirt, somebody said my t shirt is superb. I can't see it in there. My fight like a Ukrainian shirt Which the funny thing is I have shirts that are like four years old. I was be like, I'm putting these away for history. this war will be up for in a couple of years U I wasm starting to wear those shirt No now. Nope So I can say that now. I personally think the Ukrainian war will be over in a couple of years But I tell you why are we finally seeing some progress? It's because the Ukrainians are doing What successive U. S. administrations and the Europeans have told them not to do Rright. And right to fight like Ukrainians. to do so Exactly They're fighting like Ukrainians and so fighting like Ukrainians They don't have to deal with any of this Bright? Exactly Okay. And on that note, also for our viewers important The we have the NATO summit taking place now in Akara And obviously Ukraine is at the forefront of discussions there And you know, the big thing for me really is how important Ukraine is for European security and this whole fact that that Ukraine cannot become Out of that club All of a sudden doesn't seem so, you know, exclusive anymore because because Ukraine have shown us what to do and how to defend itself And we should probably learn more from Ukraine than from anyone else You know, I've been saying this since the first day I joined the Ukrainian army I saw that they were very adaptive. veryy adaptive. when they didn't have something, they could do a work around quickly. They didn't ask for permission evenven though some of the officers kept that strict Soviet style regimentation early in the war, We would just walk around them They are motivated by success and they are motivated by people coming up with clever solutions And when we started when Donald Trump was going to become president, the Ukrainians are like, We need to start fighting on our own. We need to fight with Europe. Europe started recognizing that also And we need to as I like the word I like to use, decouple from the United States and you know, the first sign that that was happening was Pet Hagsef in the first two weeks of the administration just without any orders cut off all aid, all intelligence, everything to Ukraine because that's what he was getting out of the oval Office. He was getting it from he was getting it from from Donald Trump and he was getting it from JD Vance that they all fucking hate Ukraine. and that they love Russia and the potential money that could come out of lifting sanctions from Russia And that's the only reason that that they were screwing these people over. They don't believe in they don't believe in democracy. They don't believe in anything other than money And now I mean for those of you who think that this is an ideological battle with Donald Trump on the right and everybody else on the left, it is not ideological for him. It is financial only. He will deal with any person in this world any time on any subject, He will let you go. He will he will pardon you Rrimes if you can bring him and his friend by extension, his friends money and Ukraine doesn't do that. Ukraine is a country that extends money that required the United States to giveive it assistance And he doesn't believe in assistance. He believes in bribery He believes in purchases. And they the Ukrainians got hit with those standard ballistic missiles yesterday That has now killed, I think the numbers up to forty one people people It's the first time there were no Patriot missiles to intercept these incoming ballistic missiles, which they had been shooting down every night For four years Every night, hundreds and hundreds of them And they are at Winchester is the word that we use. zero ammunition in the system. And the Europeans are trying to, you know, move missiles over to them. They're trying to jury ri anti ballistic missile systems And I know Macron and now the the new chairman minister Mer they are all about getting a European solution in there because what has happened to Ukraine yesterday could be happening to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia Poland to where these attacks, by the way have no military value. Denmark. These are punishment. attacks in order to break your will. But Putin should know the Ukrainians are the last people. They will beat you with rocks. When I when the war started, I literally saw Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, I should say thousands of bottles of Molotov cocktails. positioned all around the city at every checkpoint Be these guys were ready to fight with an AK forty seven, three magazines of ammunition. that's ninety rounds. rightight? Pase of Molotov cocktails So you know, fortunately they turned out to be more resilient. And the really bad thing now is obviously the Russians are trying to get that sentiment out to Europeans and I guess also Americans that this is retaliation for the Ukrainians striking their energy infrastructure, the oil refineries, et cetera. But that's bullshit because the Russians have been doing this since the get go And they do as much as they can All the time and a lot of the media at least in Denmark and I believe in all of Europe and I would also bet in America, they just pedal this Russian talking point That it's that it's retaliation. but s it's bullshit Why you? Listen U Zelensky in the Middle East is almost like a legendary figure. No, legendary Not almost. I'm all fuckers's legendary But well here's the thing. I say legendary because Wh would have thought Saudi Arabia would trust Zelensky more than the United States Who would have thought that Katar would trust Zelenssky more than the United States Who would have thought that Kuwait would trust Zelensky more than the United States Who would have thought that the United States would be leaving the Gulf states and going to Israel and someone else will be filling these shoes. You know I was I was trying to think if it was not me that would come into these call state. Who would come in And I'm just coming up with three or four states Uh, the UK France, Germany or Ukraine. And Ukraine would be on the small small, small number just to with the drones during this war. U, But the reality is is that The security apparatus in the Middle East has permanently changed We The war in Ukraine with Russia connected to the Middle East one way or another. Russia has been involved in Syria Russia has been involved in some of the other countries in the region And yet Ukraine with the with how smart they are They still found a way to outwin the Russians. by being the good guys This is very true. All right. Well, listen, that's our light banter. We've, you know, nothing nothing's more fun than seeing President Zelensky I have my medals that I earned when I was in Ukraine and You know, the only honor that I lacked was that President Zelensky didn't give me one But don't worry. I did you guys know I have a postage stimampp in Ukraine for the International Lion There's really hand there are only ten sets of it, the postmaster General of Ukraine made them up after the Karkiv counter offensive And I have ten sets of it. I still have not picked them up. So Jacob when I go to Keef right next, you come with me. We will get the official international Lgion What now bitches poster stamp, poster stamp that was issued. And he keeps writing. He was like, are you coming to get these steps? ten sets. And we were to auction one off, one for President Zelenssky, one for General Zelushny, one for General Bouano, one for General Cersky and the other six sets we will auction off And it's hilarious because it says, you know You know, you could have post you know, for Ukraine, that's the Ukrainian National post office what now bits you Yeah Sure It's hilarious. But I was just hoping That's my way into Zelenssky's office, baby. I'm gonna give them a that of the International Legion What now bitches stampps. So you come with me next time and we'll do that All right. So yeah Let's check the part the oil real quick because there is a weird dynamic happening out there in the world of that of of what's happening in the world. in terms of oil. Wh what's the oil looking like at oilprice dot com Yeah you got it M Well I'm scing up just a bit, a tick Just a corner A showoin. a slight tick slight tick. seventy nine cents. What is that sixty nine dollars thirty two cents on WTI crude up seventy seven cents. seventy two dollars seventy nine cents. That's up eighty cents on Brent North Sea Crude Bon is up It looks like ninety three cents to sixty seventh one These numbers, I have been watching every analyst in the world. This is my new hobby now I know everything that's happening in the Middle East where it comes down to land warfare, sea combat, all of that stuff. Yes, you don't have to ask me if I know which ship was attacked or what missile was launched. I know all those easy. I can get those in five minutes. Watching the geopolitical versus economic Kiss. pbulations, dissimilarity turning into a very macabrera almost Almost black Humor. game for me now Because gas prices are not the price of oil Gas prices in oil are two different sectors. energy because that oil has to go through refineries, Refineries have to break them down. they have to break them down into composite pieces, you know, diesel, kerosene, whatever, and then distribute them That is where the gas price is and Trump going to the oil, you know, these oil companies, these companies with Refiners are saying lower the price of de gas. they can't, yeah, they're profit taking That's how you get your shareholders keep giving you money to keep doing this Pice of oil is a different world. You know, it's got to be first discovery, then extraction, extraction, then storage, storage, then processing, processing, then storage again, then transport. No, let me rephrase that. There's something missing right there. Fale then transport, then successful delivery. That is the cycle of oil versus the cycle of anything else. because that oil may not be destined for gas stations. It may be destined for plastics. It may be destined for fertilizer processing or natural or other components of that So my problem that I'm seeing in the world is apparently that Um someome people don't seem to understand that, you know, I actually have people going, why you talk so much about oil The trade economy and the politics of it is what leads to war Everything we have been doing is why we are at war Donald Trump does not believe in those processes believes in, hey, you're making money over there I want some of that Right And only we said june seventeenth appeared to be his epiphany day, but it apparently has gone out the window because he doesn't I think he enjoys the thought that his mouth affects changes kills and enriches people. I think that's where he is now I think that if there was a massive economic meltdown that he would look forward to saying, well, I can I can fix that in one day What do you guys think Why we're good with the sign You can take that off You got it. I need another god damn coffee hold them My fully, fully automatic Wrestle Maker right next to me now, man. I don't play games with this. You can hear bnd te. U the one I have this the one that's in my office is a cheap one. It's a, um Siba But don't worry. There will be like an ill three thousand dollars super expensive one someday in my house. I drink more coffee. They should give it to me the sponsor Jacob, what have enough followers that they would sponsored No, no, no, no, let's talk. No I think I think you're right you know Trump will, you know, just pretend whatever and try to throw sand into the eyes of people and say, well I've fixed it, I'm the greatest, blah blah, blah. Regardless that he created the original problems But there's one thing with regard to the oil prices that we should talk about. and that is the Saudi decision to lower the prices Yeah They're cutting they they've just annced they're cting getting right an hllar for Dan Burrel Yeah Yeah, exactly, exactly. A and you have Yeah, exactly. And you have the whole issue with the UAE leaving OPEC that we've discussed So I think it's really difficult to see what You know, what will happen except we're still missing oil You know, we still have the Chinese issue to look into. so it could go, you know, in lots of different ways told you guys I told you guys, this is not something that I'm surprised about The Saudis are going to keep pushing the price down Til all of other companies go. Okay, we're going to start raising the price First of all, there there's a few reasons that they are dropping the prices Fress They know that they're competing against the UAE and other countries that have already been selling. They are they need to undercut the market They need to compete with the current prices of the market. Packer is not currently controlling it and The world is in an emergency situation. where Saudi Arabia, if they lower the prices, they only improve their relations with their diplomatic partners where it's a win win for them. And the like they're going to achieve their price goal of undercutting everyone in the long run. And then they're also going to be like winning everyone's favors like, okay, the Saudiis got us so thank you so much for dropping the prices. likeike they're achieving both goals at the same time You know, we heard that report and I was going to discuss it today. I'm glad you brought it up. The Saudis have decided that they're going to undercut Every barrel of oil by one dollar fifty cents Um There is a it's not a rumor. There's an assessment out there Oil is now getting to the point where it's too cheap to pump. It's too cheap to bring out of the ground The Saudis may be doing this to one, sweeten the deal with consumers out there who really, really, really desperately need oil Philippines Pakistan, all these other countries in South Asia who go Yeah and what that oil. We want that oil right now. We'll take it a buck fifty less than everybody else but also Western companies are going to start shutting down pumps and drills Because they were making money at eighty seven dollars a gallon a barrel. They're not making money if this goes back to like where Russia was, forty five dollars a barrel or sixty nine dollars app barrel. The entire discussion that is happening amongst the energy industry. And I point you to my friend, Mr. Global, who I would like to have on this show O D to have a discussion of because this is the spes, right that they talk about in the movie Dune U you know, and what was it? Spice was kept the universe running because it could make you go to sleep for hyers sleep, right This dune, by the way, is just about Saudi Arabia an oil and a job It's amazing. They didn't even change the nameames.. That's what's so amazing about that book you know? And and so This commodity that is making the Western world run, that is now creating productivity that is still critical. for the world of AI because these data centers ginormous energy monsters And nuclear power plants take five to ten, even a modular nuclear power plant It takes five years to make five years to bring online, right And and that's what they're looking at doing in Utah where they're going to build data centers that are the size, I'm not joking of one hundred fifty Walmart suuper centers connected And they're going to try to get a nuclear power plant to run that. because we have nuke plants that run off of ships. And you know, they actually make these things. they pre make these. And Trump is trying to get that company that is making nuclear power plants for submarines to start doubling up, which of course, it will take decades. fucking mental illness. the same time that he has decided the United States government is going to withdraw funding and order the Department of Energy and justice to shut down every solar and wind plant in America which is It's sabotage. means that did did Muammed andaiah Come in there or Muammed binaid, Moham bin Salamah, come in and say, Hey, listen, you got to get rid of power. You need to be more dependent on us for oil as well as your own oil. Otherwise, we're not going to be hooking you up at that Trump tower in Ryot is literally the kind of deal that he makes. and we as intelligence professionals A thought that I had. I had one mission that I was on that I felt was very How can I put it Distasteful Let me rephrase that. I want to use the French word Dolas Right I did not like this mission. I did not like the president that was ordering it at the time Right? and You know, in our community, we justify our continuing to do the job. even if I see this pattern of stf bullshit because there are a lot of innocent in between A and B And we don't want to see them hurt Right? As far as I'm concerned fking refineries for blow up right Yeah, we don't go cheerer for ISIS. Okay. We don't go cheery for ISIS. We track them down, right? Fix findind them fix them fuck them But we are definitely not going to go. Oh, your yacht sank off of Monte Carlo. That's terrible Oh This is the difference between intelligence professionals and economic your economic intelligence guys. Their job, these civilian groups, is to make them more money by finding Um by finding places to exploit and people to take over and have kill You know, and I know we're getting a little off topic here, but we're having this fight that's going on in Mali and the Russians destabilizing North Africa to put in Russian mercenaries I wonder if there was a deal cut for that Right? I mean because it's now it's you know, the only different reason that we're not stepping in is because they haven't mass murdered a bunch of white people like they did in You know, Brazzville in nineteen sixty. Once they start killing white contractors, that's when you see the US. Marines land. And I'm wondering if the Russians were like, hey, you know, to destabilize the Chinese, we're going to be bringing people into North Africa. What do we do? We close our drone base in Mali. and withdrawing without any fucking explanation. This thing was hunting and killing ISIS. You know, the same people have taken over Mali this week So I don't get it. Yeah. Let's move. So that's the discussion of oil I want to talk about, yes, last night let's talk about the strip attacks in this count. good thing about the good thing about the oil price is that the price of Russian jewels oil is all the way down to forty two dollars a barrel. And the Russian budget is based on fifty nine dollars a barrel. So that is good news Hey, listen, real quick as sideide, Michael Matson They had the temerity comeome up and say that my coffee looks weak brother, my brother in Christ Let me educate you. might brother something right. What you are looking at is the crerema top of a Lavaza, the cb Lavazza multto crema sespresso super black roasted, but you're looking at Ream that is made That is the sign of a perfect double espresso. In Italy, if they don't have that Kama, they just over and throw it out All right? There are people that live for that. By the way, most expensive Doub the most expensive single espresso I've ever paid for. Did I mention this before? Jacob, where's the most expensive single coffee you've ever paid for You know? Downtown Cing No one. How much did it cost you? Where Where did you go Nobody. It is expensive. It is. I go really in Denmark It's it's it's easily It's easily, you know eight Dollas No Is that what I was saying But it's good though. That's how crazy it is. Regular coffee, I have to tell you guys this so long as we're having this little break Um, Well, first off, the most expensive espresso I've had on this planet is tied for two places. One, I had a single espresso for ten euros. Cafe at a small, I can't even remember its name now, Romano or something like that in Piazza San Marco in Venice And this was so far back. The Eururo was brand new And they were like charging like people didn't have it ten euros the week the euros started, which would be probably like twenty euros now They were just screwing everybody. And the next one was a Cfe de L Pay next to the opera Garnier and I paid for a double espresso teen euros And they don't cut that price at all. it's still thirteen eurars So that's why coffee is so expensive because the merchant men that have to bring that coffee are dying with the oil prices that are being paid today And that leads us to from coffee, from double espresos in Venice. to ship attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. All of this is connected peopleople So Iran in order to makeake it clear to everybody that They are in command of the Strait of Hormuz, not Pete Hgseth and his intense air power that was over the Strait of Hormuz. Two major events occurred yesterday. One, the IRGC started putting out large squadrons of fast in shore attack craft. We've seen satellite imagery of twenty to forty five ship formations of IRGC small boats operating together in swarms yesterday They are patrolling the exit route of the Iranian traffic separation scheme and they're going back and forth between Siric, Oormmz and Larak Island. Just to let everybody know, the IRGC small vote You didn't get them All right, there's three thousand there were three thousand three hundred of them before this war started Just to make things eminently clear who's the boss, the Iranians fired Two. Cruise missiles most likely shah need drones that struck Tw merchant men off of Oman on the easastern side of the Strait of Hormz U. S backath traffic separation scheme as they were heading south to Korfian towards and Fuja The first ship that was struck was the most significant ship that was struck was a Qatari liquid natural gas carrier called Aurakayat was on fire. It had a small fire belong to Nakala or Nakilat, which is the Qatari natural gas transport compomany. Nakilat means transporting That's a cool name that. Yeah, we are the transporting company because we are knuckle al gas. We are that is Arabic for the basic trilateral verb knaka lost to carry or transport So Nuckil Lot Gas Company did not lose a ship. The fire appeared to be put out. It is an LNG carrier. It had to have been empty. otherwise it would have exploded like an atomic bomb They did not use a loitering munition to hit the bridge this time directly amidships above at the highest point which signals a Shahid drone And it there's some good imagery of it on fire. We'll try to find that. in a little bit The other ship I't buy the window cleaning. They didn't buy the IIGC window. When them small boats came out and said, do your windows wo million dollars. They're getting their chip towed I should you not. There is no intelligence briefing I have ever been through that these jokes didn't happen just like this. everyverybody makes jokes about stupid shit that happens. And that's exactly what happened. Yeah y'all should have It's just two million dollars. I'll take it in quarters. All right That being said, Saudi Arabia, Qatar have taken moves to bypass the straight of for moves There is a proposal now that the Saudis are either going to double up or increase the capacity of the Aqaq Habshan the Kaak Yanbu oil pipeline, which goes from Jubael, Saudi Arabia on the eastern side, all the way across Saudi Arabia, all the way across the desert to the Red Sea so that they can tranship in there and go back through the Suez Canal. It also sort of bypasses the Babel Mendaab waterway becausecause they would dedicate those sales to Europe and other points West Whereas now U Qatar is now in talks to take the Dlphin Gas field, which I', you know, the entire time I lived in the United Arab Emirates, the dolphin Gas field is this big field to the north west sorry, east and North East of K Tar and the Emiratis have a field nearby at Towila Now they are talking about an underwater pipeline. from Qatar Twila, which is actually Tila actually, I think is north of Dubai. and then it will connect it to the Twila Fujera system there These will be all new fightes. Yes, you could hit the pipes, but one thing I've learned when I was over in the Middle East, those pipes are easily rapidly changeable. They are fixable. Yeah there, you know, they can actually shut off at two ends Right? And then they come up in a pipe crew, fifty thousand pakistani workers. crew will come up, cut that thing out, put it up, have it back in operation in twenty four hours. They're really good at that part of the game U and they are looking at tapping into it to completely bypassing it which would make investments in Futerra And I'm going to go out start looking for some village down there, right Investing in Fuj what will be big ass money. That is a sleepy little village. I mean, it's a town But it's not a town that you would generally stop in unless you had an oil tanker Now that place is going to be it's going to be a boom town. It'll be a mini, you know, Abu Dhabi here soon enough because I suspect multiple oil and gas pipelines will be going out to the Eastern United Arab Emirates and Oman. I wouldn't be surprised to see one straight from the fields in Hab Shan all the way down to Salala Oman. That's my prediction. If I was ever going to put shit on it that in one year the Omanis and the Emaaties would be cutting deals to get that those tankers because it's really far away from them from Iran. They did throw a drone down there It's pretty far and it goes through the Rubach Hali, right? the empty quarter which I've driven in And they actually have Adventure racist toross that bay So where be Big bypass Where is the dolphin gas field? just off to the southeast of Doha Paris was from the north. Dolphin project is to the southeast Because I see the dolphin energy plant. I just didn't see the field It's under get it's under the ocean, baby 's it's between Qatar and the United Arab Emirates Okay right here all a big body of water and you'll see him All right Um And it wouldn't be another day if Donald Trump didn't threaten to blow up the entire thing Right Donald Trump has threatened that the Iranians will sign a deal and he always says these two things in the same breath. They're so desperate to make a deal. They're calling me, they're begging me to make a deal, but then they don't do anything and they don't want a deal. Therefore, I'm going to attack them and we could do it in a day, like you said yesterday. We could blow up every bridge in Iran in an hour Bo one Truish Then again Every oil pipeline in the Middle East would be under attack in forty five minutes after that out. So you know it's just utterly amazing. How one man, you this He is going to go downb in history as the single most destructive individually destructive character in history, I think. You know, I mean, in terms of the impact of people's lives, peopleeople losing their lives And you know, but he will go down as a moron and let me rephrase that. a drunk monkey with an AK forty seven dancing to techno That's what she's to go down What was the Iranian response The Iranian response was there's no need for technical talks And for any negotiations as long as we're being threatened because That is the word that I used in the MOU that you thought was genius Donald Trump So we're not negotiating as long as you are threatening us You gott like all time there I make this joke that you know, just, uh This game that I've kept for years called Persion Glf And there used to be multiple examples of it like during the oil war in nineteen seventy five, came out in nineteen seventy five. It was about the United States anditing Its It's a paper game that's laid in hexagonal grids And when I was very early on before there were computer games, this is the way the military war games And but this particular game is an actual invasion of Iran Right And you can't tell me there aren't guys in the Pentagon right now going Hey You know muchuch more of this. If we get a massive oil shock, let's say that we start moving towards Tber and that oil explosion whichich Mr. Global and everybody else keeps talking about, everyvery analyst out there who's credible gohost There's no inventory Oil's not flowing. The futures is selling like the war like it's february twenty seventh. And those two things have to meet the reality of the real world and that gap is called the oil shop when suddenly bottom comes and tankers fill tankers are filling up only with Iranian oil. And it's trickling mainly to Asia Right? Th then the fun and games will truly begin Because then we will go through shorted And we will be in nineteen seventy three that we have done ourselves Because someone's telling Trump, hey, it's going to be great. America's the greatest oil producing comppany in the world, blah, blah blah, Cry in the world And we can handle anything and we can even lower prices Okay, hard reality Todd. And that's when war will likely start again. And you could get into a scenario where what happens if the United States has a complete crash? You know, or or the false the false hope that is AI that is overleveraged beyond all belief, trillions of dollars in the fantasy that it will make everything great and you could fire all your workers and we can have, you know, we can, you know, we can move to Mars. Right? All this craziness goes on And then the system breaks and it crashes and there's no oil. And we get an oil shock That brings us to ten dollars a gallon in the United States, which by the way, is almost what I paid for in Denmark dollars seventy five cents a gallon I didn't know until my credit card. I was like Wait, I got to multiply that number times four Holy sit You know, thank God is deductible But that's fresh this company And then feel politically Who knows what this crazy guy would do? He'd probably say we're going to, you know Who knows? That is it for the big picture. The only other thing is Damas is Sya One second real quick. Damascus Syria Emmanuel Macron visited Al Giulani the former terrorist leader in Syria And there was a series of terrorist IED bombings this morning to greet him fourour IEDs at least that were housed in vehicles, not suicide bombings, which tells me a lot It is not ISIS. It's his buddies, former buddies And it was designed to greet Macron with burning clouds over the city Yes, loogic First of all, regarding the oil petroleum, the United States has fallen to a historical low. of three hundred nineteen million barrels That is that's the lowest it has been since april nineteen eighty three U, u depletation So the other thing is even though the United States is planning to purchase two hundred million barrels of oil in the next year or so emergency stockpile currently sit at less than half of what our capabilities is of having. So we're reaching a quarter of U I where last quarter for our stockpile And that's how dangerously low we are getting to the oil The yeah And then there is also some breaking news as of ten minutes ago Donald Trump came out and said I knew NATO I knew you were going to say Donald Trump said Yeah He said that NATO that Greenland should be controlled by the US, not Denmark The the U. S. president also said that the U.S could move all its soldiers out of Europe when asked about Greenland What do you have to say for yourself? Jacob Yeah, Jacob, what did you do What did you do? What we We supported Belgium beating the United States soccer team last night I Trp was bribing FIFA. So now he got upset and G threatened to take rege. I know what happened and the Danish the Danish were providing intelligence to the Belgian national soccer team And that's how they beat America Right? because we should have been ph. We shouldn't have been beaten after we cheated and got it a red card player off. We should win. He's apise he Mesalah Let's let's go over the the NATO summit tomorrow when we see M. There's a lot of stuff going on there. One thing I will say just on the issue of Damascus Malcolm is the fact that what you know Macron is the first European leader to visit Damascus It was very important for the new Syrian government whatever colors they have had in the past, what they were going to discuss was also investment French investment, European investments into Syria and also to create a bypass T Syria so as to lower the dependency on the Strait of Hormz because Syria sees possibilities there in providing a gateway And again Who would want to put a spanner throw a spanner and the works there You can guess for yourselves Let's see let's see what these IDs were But again they didn't get near Macron's hotel. It was outside of the perimeter Right And but again, it's a clear sign, you know, with his visit. being announced in advance There have been groups perhaps tied to to Iran and with IIGC help through dubious characters in Iraq, perhaps get some IDs into that country. I could see that being Well first off, you don't have to get IEDs into Syria. Syria is washing Thousands of bons of explosives and all you got to do is go out to the battlefield, find some old one hundred twenty two millimeter shells Have you ever seen these guys do this? They literally will use hack saws and saw open shells and take the explosives off. You're like what the jury rig stuff. That's some ISS stuff. But the fact that they didn't use suicide bombers or try to get to him personally or attack the security infrastructure leads me to believe that these could be like aloyites or former regime loyalists who just want to destabilize the country Um yeah. And tomorrow, we will also talk more about the attacks inside A Mali, but now I want to get to questions U yes. And some questions that we have are first, someone made note that Bombing that was carried out in Monaco. Have everybody who's been to Monaco, raise your hand U I've I actually actually had to work watch down in Port Erquuse when I was off a warship And that was fun and everybody was buying us drinks because that was the old Navy when we were required to be in uniform the whole time back in the nineteen eighties. Yeah, baby, that worked out very well. Now we have to be in civilian clothes So anyway, the bombing which occurred in Monaco against a rich Ukrainian oligarch who was a corrupt oligarch It turns out that the bombing suspect was a woman who was just shot dead in Kyiv, Ukraine yesterday And they believe now if the Ukrainian security serervices, the SBU was tracking this person It's likely that she belongs either to the Ukrainian mafia or to Russian intelligence and was a Ukrainian asset who had returned back Ukraine And let me tell you, SBU loves capturing them some spies. They like to capture them and they make videos of these like forty man raids where they come out and they hog march you, frog march you out of there. They gun this chick down They weren't takaking any chances, which may have led them to believe that she was part of a GRU operation to tie Ukraine to that bombing and that she was in Ukraine to carry out more bombings And I found that story just fascinating because more than likely it's going to tie to Moscow and oil and money. So that's all we have for today. Let's go to questions, shall we Was the Iranian strike? this is from Carl de Marse. Was the Iranian strike on the Qatari tanker at least in part, Iran's nosy way of saying, Howdi to the NATO heads of state at the summit in Anchara No, I just think it was the IRGC a way of saying, how do you use the Iranian traffic separation scheme buy your multifacet here. It wouldn't have it would have happened regardless of the NATO summit. It would have happened regardless. Yes Yeah ye because it's been happening before the NATO summit Oh boy o boy, boy, o boy. U someomebody asked Ali Wench, what does the future of air travel look like later this summer? and fall. planles are going to be grounded due to lack of jet fuel. Thanks guys H What do you think someomebody, I know that we're still having extremely high gasoline Aviation fuel have gas. prices are still at like one hundred and seventy five to two hundred dollars barrel. That is processed fuel that is coming from refineries. As so long as those refineries are getting fuel, you could actually reorient your loads, right to produce more ab gas less, you know, petrochemical patrol for Lastics and gasoline things like that. I don't know. That's an interesting question All I know is Better not happen next time I want to take a vacation. are already, they are charging extortionate prices out there already which to one hundred and fifty percent of the actual airline ticket price B Could you Oh We just talked about the data center in Utah Might Here's a question for you guys. John D. Curry says, might President Trump welcome an American economic recession as an excuse to declare National emmergency and Invoke Insurrection Act before the midterms think he would have If it will make your money and get him some advantage, yeah He would welcome anything becausecause I cannot explain Even the people I know who know Donald Trump personally, right? Michael Cohen and J Lev Partnis, they cannot explain why he seems to be wanting to push the United States to tank bottom the only other explanation is he believes everything's awesome and that the Stategic petroleum reseserve is at the highest it's ever been in American history and that he lives in an old man's geriatric fantasy. There's no between there He doesn't guast it. He doesn't care. He genuinely he told everyone because remember At this point, this gleman doesn't have any filter, our suupreme leader His Royal Excellency when he talks now he doesn't think about what he tght. He just says what he wants to say because he does not think of any consequences So when you think about it This gentlemen. literally came in front of the television and was asked, what do you think are you taking into consideration America's American economy or the cost of these inflations on Americans. he said, no Absolutely not. All I care about is Iran does not give nuclear weapons He gave his answer clearly He doesn't care how it ends other than he wants to end it and start with Cuba. The only reason he wants to end Iran is because he still has like we say outaby you do the thing. he has a warm in his ass. he can't sit down still He has to finish from Iran. He needs to go to Cuba. He finished from Cuba, he's going go to some Guantanama. He's going to go to Guantanama Genland Yeah right. Speaking of which, there is a question for you, Jacob from Ru Razzaki one of our most loyal followers. Could it be that Trump confused Belgium with Denmark instead No, I think he's he doesn't confuse Denmark with anyone because he knows full well who we are and he's after us There was a U. S Defense Department pre meeting for the NATO summit where they invited all the Nordic countries Poland, Germany and the Dutch But not D Mak. We were the only country left out So, you know, it's it's all the old divide and rule. shit and he's trying to use Europeans as porn on his chess pard. Fortunately, our next door neighbourors, the Nordic countries, the Germans, the Poles, the Dutch, they know this game. So it's not going to make the desired impact. But it just tells you who Donald Trump is. and don't worry. I actually think somebody referred to the Belgians as West Denmark And he just lost his life Finally, I'll just got one more question. this is from Cash Flow Collective, When Trump frames Greenland as strategically vital and surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships of which Jacob and I were briefed by the senior commander of Arctic Command He goes There's a Chinese and Russian ship. They're off Alaska. Alaska. No Bearing traight Ncause they never come over here. They were Alaska in the Baried Straits and we were like Oh my Godd, they're so stupid. they hear the word Arctic and they think Greenland, but they don't understand that it's actually in the Pacific Ocean T. What a bunch of morons He says the question on the table is Is this real driver about where Earth's and energy potential? Its valued to AI data centers rather than security rationale, he states. It's about data centers and the fraxis cities. If you guys want to smoot something crazy that's real, go look up the word PR A X I S. Cityities Greenland And you nation Tex nations, these tech bros of Silicon Valley, the top four have got it into their head, Elon Musk and all of them, that Greenland is vital to creating the technet TEC NATE, the technet of America and that they will be given Greenland Build on the ice shelf Right which is one mile deep, two point two kilometers deep shelf of ice that is one thousand three hundred miles long, one mile deep, one thousand three hundred miles long, that they will get that and that that fresh water and ice will be the place where they will establish their Praxis cities for inell never had sex, never will have sex with a real person you know, tech bros and that they will occupy this land in these giant nervadas of Nerdville I sit you not They actually have already had them planned for years And every time this shift pops up Stish it. comes out and says it, which means he just had to talk with the tech nuts about when you get in Greenland for us All right, I am not shitting you. It's a country of fifty seven thousand people thirirty five Thousand of them have Bolt action long rifles designed to kill deellicious Aibou and busk docks. You saw my rifle, right, Jacob And yeah, exactly. and guess. Wh pays praxis? guuess who are the main sponsors? They arere all the tech oligarchs that you have mentioned Malcolm Ining Donald Trump's ambassador in Copenhagen. Oh yeah Big Yeah. He has also supported Praxist nation So it's it's just insane literally insane what these people believe. I was going to show you the gun that I bought as a gift for Our friend Carl Ola Yelson, who is the largest social media presence in the Greenland.
