We'll talk about what happened at the United Nations as the general assembly general debate wrapped up where you had Netanyahu delivering a lunatic, kind of concluding remarks as most of the general assembly walked out on him. You had the Israeli ambassador to the UN pulling some weird PR stunt where you went over to the Iranian ambassador with a star link. And then yesterday we'll talk about the speech that Ukraine's president Salinsky gave. Of course, we've covered in detail already, Donald Trump's deranged speech, but that whole kind of Trump Epstein class network, the Javier Malays, who were also talking about like we need to destroy the United Nations. It was just this kind of performative outrage, nihilism, destructiveness. We'll cover what went down there, then we'll go first to what took place in the White House earlier in the day where Donald Trump met with Xi Jinping yesterday. Donald Trump had our Air Force personnel and our Army personnel get down on their knees and bend down for Xi Jinping and roll out a red carpet and use their hands to get rid of any dirt on the red carpet to make sure it was perfect for Xi Jinping. Donald Trump then did a flyover with the B1 and it was, it was allowed, but I mean, it's a flyover. Xi Jinping just kind of stood there because he's used to flyovers, I guess. Donald Trump Winston Paine and Agony, it was so weird to just observe that whole scene and Donald Trump's been bragging the whole day how much Xi Jinping loves granite and stone and loves helipads. It is utterly deranged, but Xi Jinping announced to deal folks to pandas. We'll be going to the Atlanta Zoo. Look, I'm a fan of pandas. I'm glad they're going to the Atlanta Zoo, but that seems to be what came out of this is both a humiliation ritual for the Trump regime as Xi Jinping further talks about the Thucydides trap and we got two pandas out of it as well that we'll be visiting at least the Atlanta Zoo. Meanwhile, you have gas and diesel prices continue to surge. If you look at the 10-year treasury yields, vertical line up. If you look at the price of crude vertical line up right now, that's not good. That's bad. So now the Trump regime, more government intervention, export diesel controls are on the table, which would probably just lead to gas and diesel prices going up if you just know a little bit basics about supply and demand meanwhile catastrophic war in Ukraine continues to escalate a true dystopian nightmare scenario there. I've been covering it every day and morning on the Midas Touch network because I don't see the footage out there of what's actually going on in this war. And meanwhile, you have the CIA warning European countries that a Russian drone attack may indeed be imminent, but at the same time that you had Marco Rubio invite Vladimir Putin to the G20 at Donald Trump's resort in Durral, Miami, when the G20 meets you also, of course, had the Xi Jinping meeting at the same time that China's foreign ministry spokesperson said that they will never comply with the Trump regime's unilateral imposed sanctions on Iran and that Iran's airplanes can always freely fly into China. And then Donald Trump, though, wants everybody to know Xi Jinping loves that granite. He loves that granite everybody. We've got a lot to discuss on this episode. Brent and Jordy, how are you? I mean, a true humiliation ritual where you could say, could you imagine if Biden or Obama, what the reality is is that what we're seeing here is so degrading, debasing, humiliating from the perspective of the United, it is unfathomable what is taking place. And I'll just say this too, I've seen some people, Democratic Party kind of talk about it, but folks, this is a freaking layup on a layup and you're like, oh, no, I don't like political message and I'm like, this is not like a political man. I'm talking about the objective damn facts I see in the lunacy before me, but go and freaking talk about what are you doing right now? We're going to see a bend, get to see a Jordy, get to see a minus mighty. I mean, let's face it, our expectations were rock bottom, but somehow Donald Trump continues to surpass even those rock bottom expectations every single day. I mean, every single day, it's something worse than the next. It really is the catastrophe that everybody imagined it would be, or at least that we were trying to warn about in advance of the 2024 election. Every single day gets worse, but Donald Trump is also never looked weaker. He just looks weak in every aspect. He looks weak electorally when he looked towards these midterms. He looks incredibly weak on the global stage, all the promises that he made, not only not coming to fruition, but the exact opposite of everything happening to the extreme with these Treasury yields, with this inflation, with these new never-ending wars, with conflict raging in Ukraine and everything that is going on, it is just an absolute mess. And I think, as we see what's going on here with China, it could not have been more of a humiliation ritual by Xi Jinping. And I think what he basically was able to do is one of the things we've talked about in terms of the strategy of China and Xi is that their whole aspect is, their whole thing is like we've been here for thousands and thousands of years. We'll let them kind of destroy themselves, right? Never interrupt your opponent while they're making a mistake, never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake. We're just going to sit here, let the world fall into our lap. And I feel like you were literally seeing that this weekend with Donald Trump, when you saw that side-by-side of President Xi and Donald Trump next to each other, with Xi Jinping staying completely stoic, not reacting at all. And Donald Trump wincing in pain as his attempt to, I guess, show American might and American strength completely backfired in his face all the while he rolls out the red carpet for Xi. What do you see? You see the Chinese government seizing the parts of one of our top secret F-35 planes that were accidentally shipped from Australia to Hong Kong. They're getting access to some of our most sophisticated, secretive technology there is. You're seeing the Chinese foreign ministers say, "Uh-uh, we don't give a damn about your sanctions. We are going to let Iranian planes land on our shores, get the hell out of here, and this could not be more of a humiliation of four Donald Trump." And we've got plenty to talk about. Jordy, what's the latest on your end? Brothers, Madness Maddie, it is amazing to be here. Did we ever get an answer on the Trump wincing? Did we ever get, like, what was the lie that they had told the American people as to why he was making those faces? Did we even get one? I know you get the right one. Propaganda machine was like, "Oh, Trump is so excited about it." That was excitement. Got it, got it. So his sarcasm, like, when he's like, "I'm going to end the war tomorrow, as soon as I'm present, it's over." Day one, that's, you're supposed to be able to tell that sarcasm. And when he winces, when he does the big wins, like, a very painful wincing face, that's excitement. He's got a lot of interesting motions. Well, you know, it's an important thing, the media ecosystem, that independent media, that we continue to try to build, because as soon as that went down, within seconds, the right wing propaganda machine was ready immediately. And they were trying to frame it as he loves the B1 and he was so inspired that that was a face of inspiration. But we actually got the clip out before the right wing media got the clip out. And we put it out right away and we said, "Look what's going on." And then we gave context and we said, "Look, we're just giving you an opinion here." But people with dementia have a lot of auditory issues, where loud sounds hit them differently. And if you want to control variable group, I mean, you take a look at how she responded to it and you contrast it with how Donald Trump responded to it and G acted normal, like it was loud. But yeah, but Donald Trump looked like it was the most painful thing. And people who have dementia or people who have other cognitive issues, there is a auditory kind of discombobulation, if you will, that people experience. And that seemed to be, and again, just an opinion what was going on. Let's just show people. We've seen the clip a lot, but it is very jarring. And it's worth putting on one of our shows. So it lives here in perpetuity on the Midas Dutch podcast. So we'll put it to the record. Some things I want to add to the record, right? We're going to add this to our record of podcasts here. Let's play. There's Trump and she and Trump with the ultimate wins. And you know, it's one of those things also where like Trump organized that like he planned for it. It's like when somebody tries to like scare you, but you know, they're going to scare you. You normally don't get scared. But Donald Trump knew it was coming and he's still, you know, like is she, if anybody he was the one who should have been like, oh my God. And it was one of these things where you just see Trump constantly trying to like show off to these people. But somebody like a Xi Jinping, what does he think as he's watching all this go down? He's looking at Donald Trump like, look at this weakling, look at this pathetic loser out here. When you saw those that video, the Chinese officials looking out of the plane, watching our military get on their hands and knees to wipe the dust off the red carpet, rolling it out for Xi Jinping. I mean, that image to me is a career ender, you know, if you're anybody else, right? If you are Barack Obama, Joe Biden, that's the defining image of your presidency. And the fact that Donald Trump continues to give the people who he gives that treatment, right? Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, he did it in Alaska during the Putin meeting we saw our soldiers on their hands and knees. Who notably does Donald Trump not meet at the tarmac and does not greet with respect? Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, right? We leaders who are actually supposed to be our allies in any normal world. But Donald Trump just loves to suck up to these authoritarians. And all that makes them think is, wow, we got this guy in our pocket. He is weak. We control this guy. What a fricking loser. That wincing, man. That wincing face. The only time I've ever seen that before is when, better remember when you're going through the sciatica and you're still doing like the YouTube hits and you have that like L5 vertebrae in between hits, you just, I could tell you all here Ben's face, that was not excitement. Donald Trump's face, very different situations, not excitement at all. You know, it also goes though to Brett, you raise another point. Obviously, major red flags cover up. There's obviously something going on with his health in my opinion. But then there's the planning. The B1's a louder plane, right? One of the loudest planes that there is, didn't really impact Xi Jinping all that much. I assume Xi Jinping planned or they're going to do a flyover, be prepared for it. You know, and Trump should have just known that was going to happen. So if you have these auditory issues, which is putting it lightly, what he probably has, why just don't do that? Like, use another. I don't know. Use a different plane. Don't do the flyover there. Like, plan so it doesn't look like that. And, you know, I think one of the things that Xi wanted to accomplish showing up here in the United States is to once again show the world. A contrast right now between what China has projected itself as, whether you agree with it or not. This is how it's projected itself. And it makes a more compelling case than it ever has before, especially in contrast to the United States, that they're focused on multilateralism and empowering nations with sovereignty. They say this. They repeat it over and over and over again, and that they're going to be the stewards of a new global order that's less dependent on the United States and focus on investment. It was a marketing pitch to the world. Look at me and contrast me to Donald Trump. And who would you rather do a deal with? Who would you rather do business with? And that's what this trip was all about for Xi, not actually to give anything to the United States, quite the contrary. While he was here, they made a number of actions that one would think would be if you were looking at the U.S. policy, which again, I think is wrong headed. It's embargo on Iran, it's catastrophic war. But if you were to look at the policy, what China is doing was basically as hostile as you can get, breaking the embargo, supporting Iran publicly, loudly, in response to Besen saying any country that lets Iranian planes in, we're going to go after, right? I mean, the same thing was also going on in the United Nations, where you have Marco Rubio at the same time, our CIA. The U.S. CIA is out there, say what you want about the CIA, I'm just giving you undisputed facts about the CIA saying, believe him, don't believe him, do what you got to do. But our CIA is telling all these European countries, Russia's pro-planning hybrid warfare. They're going to put drones on a ship and they're going to start invading places potentially like Estonia, Romania with drones, not like full invasions, but like attack areas to test article four and five of NATO. And then Marco Rubio is like, hey, guess what we did? We invited Putin to the G20 and we want to really encourage them to show up. And so it's like, you have the CIA doing this and then you have Rubio doing that, you know, which clearly undercuts this message that Russia would pose this threat if you're going to invite them to the G20 like this. And again, one of the things that we've been focusing on every day, you're at the Midas Touch Network, I try to do a video once a day is the escalation of this catastrophic war in Iran. I mean, you have, I mean, the catastrophic war in Ukraine in addition to the catastrophic war in Iran. I mean, you had at the United Nations, Donald Trump's like, and my wife, Melania is reuniting the children that Ukraine and Zelensky stole from Russia and she's reuniting the kids that it's both sides that Russia and Putin stole from Ukraine. We've done our 25th reunification of it and it kind of both sides this children exchange and like, who are these kids? Which kids did the Ukrainian steal and that's what your alleging is happening? And it seems like a both sides giving cover for the fact that there are children who were dying in this catastrophic war every damn day. The war is escalating and is out of control far worse than any where close to what it was under Biden, but every day it gets worse and worse and worse and it's going to be a catastrophic winter. Zelensky said we're preparing for it, but we're going to make sure it's mutually assured catastrophicness. But then you're saying, look, we're reuniting the children, we're reuniting the children. This is a war Trump said he was going to resolve 24 hours after the election, because he's got the best words, but it's all lies. It's not the best word. It's literally a freaking lunatic, you know, in the Oval Office. I mean, I'll show you today, Donald Trump was like, this was his takeaway. So he meets with G, he shows G, the ridiculous wall of fame thing that he created in the White House, where he mocks former president Biden, he mocks former president Obama. And it's like, that's weakness, that's, that's weakness, masquerading as weirdness. Like why, why do you think it's strong to attack predecessors before, I mean, it's, and again, this is exact. Anyway, not to give the guy a compliment, but it reminds me the other day when we showed that clip up here, Polly Ev on the American TV, right, the conservative in Canada, and they were trying to get him say, just on an American TV channel to say just something, a criticism of Mark Carney to say something against him. And he was like, I'm not going to do that on foreign TV. And you have Donald Trump, you know, not showing the, you know, rock bottom of decorum, the minimum of decorum that you could possibly show by just mocking former leaders and presidents of the United States. It's just such a disgrace. Complete disgrace. And then Donald Trump meets with, we'll talk later in the show when Netanyahu is like attacking New York City Mayor Mom Donnie from the United Nations. Like, you know, look, I believe Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac, you know, there's, there's a lot worse that he does than attack New York City Mayor Mom Donnie, but, but it is reflective of this also. It's like, you're here, not in your country. No other world leaders are out there attacking New York City leaders, municipal city leaders or US political people in the United States. It's unacceptable, unacceptable doesn't do a justice what that is and saying, oh, Mom Donnie's anti-Semitic and he pals around with Hamas and this and that. And it's like screw you. You tell you talking about, you really hissed me off so much. Honestly, that made me so angry because it also, not that he has any credibility at this point, but it also harms Netanyahu's credibility entirely, right? If you're willing to make up such horrific lies about any politician in the United States, but like one of the single most beloved politicians in the United States, like one of the highest approval ratings in his city out of like any politician, if you're willing to make up such heinous lies about a person, then like Donald Trump, you're willing to do other heinous things as well. You're willing to kill people and lie about it. You're willing to start wars and then lie about the reason. And for Netanyahu to come to New York, to release this video saying that Mom Donnie supports Hamas and that Mom Donnie is excited to go and set it on the floor of the U.N. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then he set it up with, he set it up in the video beforehand by saying that Mom Donnie incited riots against the Jewish people in New York City, incited riots, and that the Jewish people were running through the city because there were riots hunting them down. I think it's a disgrace. And I think part of Netanyahu's strategy, one thing that he wants to do, which honestly really, it makes me incredibly angry, is I think he wants Jewish people in this country to feel scared. I think he wants to do as much as possible to make people feel like their life is at risk, like Mom Donnie is going to get you, like this person is going to get you. It's a propaganda tactic so that you say, oh, but Israel is defending me, right? Oh, but BB Netanyahu, he's defending me. He's the one taking strong action. No, he's the problem. He's the one causing all of this, just like Donald Trump, he's the same, it's the same strategy, right? It's the same exact mindset of approaching a population where you try to scare them you try to, you know, other other people, you try to do whatever you can in order to get that kind of, you know, that passion out of people where they just hate the other person, right? Where they think that their lives are being threatened and that they have no other choice than to give their own agency over to this individual. Well, also, yes, all of that. And additionally is the forum at which he said it. It's not like he was on one of the Paul Brothers podcast, which by the way, still would be reprehensible and went on this rant. He was at the freaking you went, he was addressing the you went, like the forum at which he spoke in the madness that he's spoken. First off, good job on everyone, just kind of walking out when he, when he went to go stand up and deliver his speech right on them. Unbelievable, man, it's really just, it's like we're at like a global disgrace where there are so many weak leaders, masquerading as strong men, masquerading as like these, these people who know all, they're the wise ones, they have all, they have all of the answers, but only they have the answers collectively. So you have to listen to them. It's really, really pathetic. You know, look, you go through the Epstein files and we talk about the Epstein class, but you had Epstein talking with world leaders in real time about basically destroying growing the global structures so that this right wing oligarchical, Epstein class that causes disruption and confusion can basically use the panic to enrich themselves. I mean, you would see him talking about how that was going to impact crypto in 2013 when 2020 when no one was really talking about that. I mean, he would talk about Russia's annexation of Crimea before it took place and how it could impact the Rubell. I mean, they were talking about all of these things at a global world leader level. And so when I watched the behavior of Fat Elvis, Javier Malay, you know, give this strange speech about tearing down the UN when I watched Donald Trump saying, "We need to get rid of the ICC and UNESCO when I see how Netanyahu behaved and how the UN Ambassador from Israel behaved and like tried to hand the Iranian ambassador to the UN like a Starlink." And like, "Eh, this is what you'd like." You showed us two people. We're going to take down your regime, you know, and like doing it for social media. You know, I think about the global chaos and division being soed. And I think about the ultimate shared humanity that I think people naturally want to feel. And you see how all of these bad actors are trying to pit us against each other and create great panic and great chaos in order to feast on us and in order to enrich themselves. And I think that's an objective lens of what we've seen here at the United States and globally, you know, as well. And I think when you see the polling data that's happening right now where you're seeing this kind of catastrophic numbers for mega Republicans and for Trump with record low approval, I don't think it's necessarily per se an endorsement of the Democratic Party. It is a growing sense of opposition of we need to stop what this mega Republican oligarchical Epstein class thing is. And then we need to hold the new group of leaders accountable for actually bringing real change and not status quo stuff. So we'll talk about that when we get back. We had a great discussion there. So I wasn't showing any clips, but I'm kind of glad I did not do the clips there so we can have that discussion. First break of the show, but I want to remind everybody our books called WTF America pre-order. Now it comes out October 20th, but the momentum for the pre-orders is so good. If you're thinking about buying it, can you just do the pre-order right now and that helps us determine where we're going to visit or we're going to do a book tour. It really informs a lot of what we do in terms of the release and the pub day of the book. So we also have an audio that each brother recorded certain chapters. So we were the ones who did the audio. We spent a lot of time. We're very competitive about it. It's funny. We each had the audio individually and we had, you know, there was an engineer there with us and there's a director who's speaking with you while you're doing it, making sure you're saying everything correctly, the right pacing, the right time, you know, all that sort of stuff. And I think all of us individually said the same stupid, made the same dumb joke to the director. We were each like, I just want to let you know I'm going to be the best of all the brothers at this. So let's make sure that I'm the best reader. And when I said that, they're like, you're the brothers said that. And I said, it's very important to me that I do better than my brothers. So let's make sure that happens. And he's like, it's hilarious. You said that because Ben and Brett have said the same thing. Yeah. First break of the show, we'll be right back after this.

If you've ever looked into GLP ones, you probably had the same reaction I did. Why is this so expensive? That's what initially got me interested in collective. What I really liked when I tried it was how straightforward the entire experience was. I could actually message a real doctor when I had questions instead of dealing with some AI chatbot. And there wasn't this confusing pricing structure where you're constantly wondering what you're going to pay next month. Collective was founded by Gunner Lovelace, founder of Thrive Market, with a similar idea. Many people together pull their buying power and negotiate better prices. That's how collective offers Dr. prescribed compounded GLP ones for $59 a month from registered US pharmacies with third party testing for quality. And that price stays the same at every dose, no hidden fees, no locked in subscriptions, and no introductory medication price that suddenly jumps. You also get unlimited messaging with a real doctor and access to a licensed nutritionist for nutrition, exercise, and supplement support. And you can start with a 21 day free trial where you just pay for the medication and easily cancel any time. Get compounded GLP ones for $59 a month from collective. It's the same price every dose and you don't have to prepay in advance to get the lowest price in the country. Visit collective.org/mytus. Let's go, shout out to our sponsors, y'all, links in description of both YouTube and the audio. Use the links, use the codes, if there is an exit survey, but then they'll send you. Benji, where to next big bro? Did you know Xi Jinping loves granite? Did you know that Jordy loves helipads? I think that's kind of my main takeaway from this event. Pan-Nen-Yahoo is just this. But by the way, I'm good with the pandas, I mean, I'll keep the pandas, that's cool. I don't think we get to keep them though. I think they're on, I think we get them really, I think the pandas are pretty cool and I enjoy it. We don't get to keep the pandas. And I think he says they visit Atlanta, I don't think he says they remain in the Atlanta zoo. I think they're looking to this. We got to look into this. We got to have an answer because when we do a lot of these interviews, a lot of people are like, what's the way the pandas situation? No, this is the one question that every interviewer likes that. So tell me something good that Trim did that you like. I'm like, I don't think we got to give the guy credit for anything quite frankly. But now I'll just be like, pandas visiting the zoo, that's exciting. Yes, gas prices have hit record highs, diesel prices are at record highs and they're only going higher. The Trump regime is now saying they're going to be doing an export ban on diesel because they think, you know how you drop those prices? Just decrease the supply of diesel to the international diesel markets. Isn't that the way supply and demand? We could also ignore the fact that in a barrel of oil, you make both gas, diesel and jet fuel. So what's going to happen to the gas? Oh, that'll make the gas prices go down or maybe when there's less supply generally because the refiners are no longer sending their stuff to international markets. Maybe they're not going to be able to refine as much gas and is that what's going to happen? Oh, the gas prices are going to go up. Who could have predicted these things? But as Donald Trump was telling people in the oil industry, well, that's a December problem. We'll try to get the prices down artificially for the next 40 days or 30 days, whatever before the elections. And then we'll deal with the December problem. We'll blame the Democrats. We'll say they did it. We'll just be blamers. Dr. Fauci may be dead something to do with it. Dr. Fauci did it ever and bite in and bite and did, oh, do you see the auto pen year sheet? It shows how full of crap he is also because what's the one thing that he always says when he's asked about the war because he has no way out of the war as of this moment, right? He goes, well, I'm not worried about the midterms. I'm not worried about the midterms. I'm not going on a clock. I'm not doing this. And then in the next breath, he's like, we got to get these gas prices down before the midterms, right? He's devising these schemes, even if it's a short term win, and I put win in quotes, even if it a short term win at the expense of gas prices exploding in a month or two, he's okay with that because this is how he deals with everything in his life. It's always push it off, push it off, try to get a delay on the court case, try to delay it, try to delay it, and then hope that it all resolves itself at some point or where that just something happens or he bullies somebody into submission. But as you're seeing with Donald Trump and Secretary Treasury Secretary Bessent, they're trying to bully these markets right now and it ain't working. I've seen memes now, and it was particularly amongst the finance community, which are not particularly Trump haters, I will say, after the 2024 election, and all these people are just making fun of Bessent and making fun of Donald Trump. There are all these memes going around right now with Bessent throwing a person throwing a cup of water at a big fire and they're like, here's Bessent's plan to pump funds out to try it on the $6 billion bond buybacks when you deal with the trillions of dollars of a bond. That'll do it. I see people throwing cups of water in an ocean and making fun of Bessent that's basically what he's doing here. They're trying all these desper moves. They're trying to bully the market, which doesn't care about their BS to a certain point. They may be able to manipulate these short term spikes and drops on a daily basis. an overarching basis like the market to know that this is just all instability right now and it's why you're seeing oil prices spike, it's why you're seeing inflation rage, it's why you're seeing all of these issues that are continuing to not get better but just to get significantly worse every single day. They're doing communism but they've also ripped away people's healthcare also. They've doing authoritarian communism where the government does this control and that control and this and that and beef. We're going to get foreign fraud. The government will take foreign frozen beef and we'll undercut our ranchers. How are we going to do with oil export controls? That's what we're going to do. What are we going to do with AI and this and that? We're going to call it SI. We're going to call it super intelligence and that'll deal with it and then we'll take stakes in this company and that company and when you add them up 35 companies, the United States will have government ownership and we're going to take away your healthcare while while while we're at it also. I mean, isn't it obvious what's going on here? You know, when when these billionaires and this oligarchy, when they get together in the back when they used to call them like the smoke filled cigar rooms or whatever, you know what they create? They create socialism and communism for themselves where the wealth is shared amongst the billionaires and everybody else gets screwed. The rest of the public gets the harshest form of corporatist capitalism, not even capitalism, the harshest form of exploitation. And you know what the billionaires get and the deck of millionaires get when they're all in the back room? Socialism where they divide the wealth amongst themselves and hoard it and steal it from you. Isn't it so damn obvious what they're doing? Well, they take well, they take away your healthcare of these sociopaths. But by the way, when you also watch Donald Trump's behavior and just how he interacts, I mean, you see the level of sociopathic predatory behavior this guy has. I mean, it is beyond even fathomable. The level of every sound syllable is a lie and it is psycho and it's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it is hard. Think about what he, think about what he's thrown at Iran, you know, every day. There's a deal, there's a deal. There's a deal. I mean, it's crazy level. Now imagine the stuff that he does there with the media manipulation and with the constant lies and the predator yourself. Imagine when he goes after like E. Jean Carroll in the lawsuit because he sexually assaulted her and she was defending herself and she filed a lawsuit against him. I mean, think about what it's like. And this is the, you know, the issue that lots of people give up in because he's so in every, you know, he lives this miserable piece of shit existence. And it's like, you go, am I going to roll in the mud with this freaking mutant pig, you know, or do I just say enough enough? And that's what he relies on. I mean, the degree of it over and over and every damn day, he's a true freaking lunatic. And every news entity is not doing their damn job. If you don't call it out like that, there's no other way to say it. You can't just show the guy you gotta explain what the hell's happened. I mean, look at this. Look at this. This was him with G. He, I love great G loves granite. Look what he says here. Play this clip of G loves granite. We had a great meeting and he is great too. He likes, he likes granite. He's an expert on stone, aside from any other things. And he loves good granite. Thank you very much. He's got the trance. She's got the translator behind him and she's like, oh, okay, okay. Then she gives his speech and he talks about the Thucydides trap, which he's saying US, you are the declining power. You are Sparta as we see it. We China are the ascending power. We're Athens in this example. That's what the Thucydides trap is. Thucydides is an Athenian who wrote the story or a story on the Peloponnesian war two decades long. And the idea of the Thucydides trap was coined recently as a reflection of Thucydides writing about the Peloponnesian war. You should read this. It was a really good story on the Peloponnesian like great story, but he was a good writer about everything that went down. But how the conflict was inevitable when the established power Sparta saw the rising power Athens and what that meant ultimately Sparta won the war against Athens. But then Sparta was destroyed shortly thereafter. So everybody loses in the Thucydides trap. But what he's saying in the United States after Trump rolls out the red carpet after our Air Force brings the red carpet. Our army gets down on their knees. By the way, nobody should do this. We shouldn't have anybody doing this for foreign leaders. But like you couldn't hire a contractor. You couldn't hire other people to like do that. It had to be our service members getting on their knees with that visual. I mean, for I don't think anybody should be in that visual. But our freaking army, our freaking Air Force, that's what you were doing. But she talks, she talks about the Thucydides trap. What I just described. And so she is saying here, we are the rising power. You are the descending power. Don't mess with us. And Trump's like, he likes granite. He likes granite here. Play this clip. And improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention. The Thucydides trap can be overcome. Donald Trump's like falling asleep behind him, dude. Yeah, chance to really idea what the hell he's talking about. It really is. The strange is visual. You have a Donald Trump who is slumped over on the farm. Like, like, like, yes, slumped over like sleeping. Just utterly bizarre. Here's what also, you know, we should know if you're thinking, I feel like I heard you talk about this before. It's because she said the same thing when Donald Trump went to China in front of Trump also. And so this is a very deliberate thing that he is trying to tell the world to tell Donald Trump about the new dynamic of power that exists due to the Trump regime's weakness. Yeah. And he's using that language also to show how stupid Donald Trump is. You know, while Donald Trump, it's also used to, it's perfectly picked out to say, here is a broader historical context because she in China thinks about things not in two-year cycles or elections. They think about things in thousand-year civilizations, also a lot, how Iran thinks about things as well. So invoking the Thucydides trap is invoking a spirit of thousands of years of of where things are heading and not viewing things in a gamified political lens. I think that's important. But she announced the deal. The deal was the panda deal. Everybody multiple pandas to listen carefully. Does it sound like these pandas will be residing long-term in Atlanta or will they simply be doing a visit here? Play this book. The giant panda has been an envoy of friendship between the Chinese and Americans. Here I have a piece of good news. In a few days, two pandas, Pingping and Fushuang will come to their new home in Zu Atlanta and meet with the American people. New home actually sounds like they're here long-term. So actually great news. Everything's amazing. Things couldn't be better. I know. Is it a rental? I need more data behind it. Do we all realize that they're trolling us? We all like pandas. It's fine. But dude is there trolling us. I bring good news. As treasury yields are at all-time highs at mortgage rates, 30 or fixed is over, seven percent as we get more horrific news. I mean, I think that a lot of these AI companies are like, now, evoking forced major clauses and all. America is going through it right now. We're going through it. The tariffs against the world's backfiring. Groceries are all them. I bring good news, everybody. What's the good news? Two pandas. Two pandas, everybody. That's clearly a troll. I mean, am I people are like, hey, can we get health care? Can you help us with the gas at the pump? How about mortgage rates and affordable housing? They're like, hold up. Two pandas. Two pandas. Not one. Two pandas. I come bringing good news. Then you have treasury secretary Besson, though. He does his rounds as well because the American people are like, dude, come on. He said this war was going to, we shouldn't have been in this war. We know it's done also to cover up your cover-up of the Epstein files. You and Netanyahu slaughtered the little children in Minab and Le Maird and you recently slaughtered the family in Syracan before that, the family in Kesham. And there are all these war crimes being covered up. And we now learn some reporting that Hunkow, the undersecretary of the Navy or a secretary of Navy now acting secretary. He was undersecretary acting secretary of Navy. He was the one who now had to admit that there were eight suicide attempts aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln alone, eight on one of the supercarriers alone. That's how horrible the conditions were there. There was another service member who died, but wasn't included on the original list because you got the Trump regime not claiming it's combat, because they say the war is over. You have all this horrible stuff. And then you have Besson going back on the making his rounds on the news. And he's like, I don't know if it will be a week or a month. But Iran will cry. Uncle, they will cry. Uncle, what words are you using? What do you mean they'll cry? Uncle, listen to what he says here, play this book. We had negative wage growth. We are seeing substantial wage growth here. that wage growth is going to continue going, we will get to the other side of this Iran conflict, the energy prices will drop, and you will pick your purchasing power back up. I think there's another clip of Besson. That was one I wanted to show, but do we have the other clip of Besson, where I believe it was the cryon clip on Iran? Let's see. A month ago, you launched what you called economic D-Day on Iran. Today, oil is still, as we talked about, about a hundred. The straight is definitely pinched. There are tankers that are getting through, but a lot of them are getting attacked regularly. A month in, is it working? Well, first of all, Brett, the tankers that make it hit, many of them just sail on. They just sail on. The Iranians may launch 3, 4, 5, 6. The drones, after them, our great Navy is blocking them. But we are getting between 10, 15, sometimes 17 million barrels a day out. I'm not sure. There's definitely, I wanted to show that one also, to show the front. I don't blame Brett because the clips, they're just like screenshots of Besson's face, and again, his face, it's just such plastic-looking face that's so hard for Brett to tell the clips. They all look the same. I'm kind of flying wind over here. I'm sorry. Did clips nonetheless? There's one where he says, okay, the point I'm making, I'll just make the point, okay. Besson says, whether it's a week or a month, they are going to be crying uncle soon. And so it's like, that's where we're at right now. They're going to cry on, who's they? The people of Iran, I mean, the lesson that you've learned from all of this, is that if we just torture the Iranian people, that they're going to now want to support Donald Trump and Netanyahu, that's the lesson that you've gleaned now from this war that was launched in February. And also, the language, cry uncle, is what he says. It's like, you're going to cry uncle, I'm going to give you a swirly, then you're going to get a wedgie, and then you're going to, it's like, okay, what are you going to cry uncle? I mean, this is, you know, this, you're the treasury secretary. Could you ever fathom Janet Yellen saying, and the reality is, is that any word I put, can you fathom Janet Yellen saying, you probably don't even know who Janet Yellen is, which is great. She was like, you shouldn't know who, you know, why? Because you should not have Janet Yellen. We're going to give you a very clear event. What do you say, the old treasury secretary? We're going to give you a wet willy. Do you think Janet Yellen will be like, here's what we're going to have to do. Look, I didn't have to know what Janet Yellen was saying on a day-to-day basis. When Biden was in office and when other people, I didn't have to know what the treasury yields, the 10, the 20, the 30-year-old. What a salt caverns. I didn't have to know about the salt caverns. Potash. Potash. Potash. Potash. I don't have to know about the potash trade and those the amount of metric tons of soybeans and, and, you know, but the reality is, is that, you know, why? Because that's boring, bureaucratic, but existential stuff that government would do, and we would rely on competent people, experts, science-based, people who would just get the job done. And I didn't like, when I go on an airplane, I don't need, I don't want to think, you know what? I better learn to be a pilot, because those pilots don't know what they're doing right there. So, at any moment's notice, I got to fly the plane. No, what we expect is them to fly it, and you know what? We don't expect them to do. I don't expect them to go over the loudspeaker, the pilots when you get on the plane, and they're like, hey, everybody, you want to talk about my ballroom and aren't I the greatest pilot ever? I'm such a great pilot. You know, the previous pilot was going to crash your plane, and I'm so much better than the other pilot. You know, it's like, no, just shut up and be a grownup. Get me to point A to point B, be respectful, be an adult and stop this crap, and there's so much of this that is not a political thing, and that's what I keep on coming back to. And frankly, that's why I also think Brett's got the clip. We'll play the clip just so you know that I'm not making up the clip. Here's a clip. In terms of constricting and cutting off the financial oxygen to them, and I don't know whether it's going to be a week, a month, or two months, but they're going to heal, Uncle. The goal is to make him cry, Uncle, and to cut off the financial lifeline. That's a war crime. You're describing a war crime, and you're not going to make the people of Iran want to rebel, or revolt, or march in the streets for Donald Trump, if you behave like that. When you slaughter the little girls in their elementary school, and then you cover it up, and then you blame them for using their Tomahawks when they don't have Tomahawks, what do you think the reactions, because I think they're going to want to welcome you, or do you think it brings more solidarity against you? What do you think is going to happen when you say things like this? It is so absurd. It is so dumb. It is so offensive. It is so conscious, shocking, and we need to call it out.

By the way, if you're on Medicare, I've got good news and bad news that you might want to hear. According to the National Council on Aging, the average senior on Medicare is overpaying by more than $1,000 a year for their coverage. And it gets worse. One in 10 is overpaying by $2,000 or more and only about 10% are on the plan that actually fits their needs best. It's easy to see why the system is so confusing and that confusion allows unscrupulous brokers and insurance companies to rob you blind. That's why it's so important to talk to a trusted advisor whose only job is getting you the best coverage for you at the best price. The good news is I found an advisor for you. Chapter is the only national Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide. They look at your providers, your prescriptions and what matters most to you and your situation to help you find the best plan for you. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you.

Shout out to our sponsors, links in description about the YouTube and the audio. Use the links, use the codes. There's that exit survey. Let them know we sent you. Brett, real quick, it would have been kind of funny if right before you played the best in clip. Actually, when you played it, it was the wrong clip. Yeah, I was going to say I should have been it wasn't the wrong clip. If that was just the bit. Yeah, yeah, but I felt bad by that point. But I wanted to show that because the point is what you've gleaned. I mean, look, we have all of the knowledge that we should have gathered since this catastrophic war. Point one, we should never have been involved in this catastrophic war to begin with easy, obvious, done. Okay, but now your main lesson is that if we sanction Iran more, if we torture the people more, the Trump regime says, then the people are going to rise up and they're going to support Donald Trump and Netanyahu and they're going to want to turn Iran into Gaza or Southern Lebanon, or they're going to want to become like that's your left. It was a failed plan to begin with because they thought that they could win with overwhelming military force. As by the way, many presidents have felt about the Middle East for decades and decades and decades. The Iranians were smart. They actually do have smart leadership who understand the mechanics of the global economy and the United States of America and what's important to the global economy and the United States of America. And they played the long game and they're continuing to play the long game just as we see with China, by the way. We see all these countries playing the long game because they know that they could squeeze the United States. They could harm our economy. They could hit us where it hurts. And that Donald Trump is at the whim of these elections and is now slated to just get shellacked in the midterm elections. And so you're seeing all of this, you know, stuff happen. And it really is just they keep doubling down on these failed strategies, thinking that they're going to get a different result. They're not going to get a different result. It's going to keep getting worse if they continue to go down this road. And it's like how many chances could you get? I've never seen people be afforded more chances in my life than these people who destroy everything. And then things start getting marginally better. And then they can't help themselves and they destroy things again. It's like it's been Donald Trump's entire life and it's been his entire presidency where you see Donald Trump coming in and interest rates are coming down and inflation is coming down and gas prices are down and all these things. And Trump goes, we can't have that. I got to do something stupid. I got to do a liberation day, right? The reverse is the trend, right? Everything goes back up, up, up, up, up. You get that knock down. Things start coming back down. Remember before the Iran war, what was happening? Interest rates were coming back down. Gas prices were coming back down. These were starting to head down. Donald Trump wants again, well, we can't have any of that. We need to go into this lawless war, this illegal war. Back up it goes up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up and you have the Republicans justifying it every step of the way and they give you this false choice, which is either you could either accept paying 7.3% interest rates and $8.50 diesel and everything you buy cost double what a cause last year. You could accept that because the alternative was you were going to get killed by nuclear annihilation. That's really the premise that they're trying to set up. But it's like, no, first off, Iran is not any further away from a nuclear weapon than they were to begin with. It's not even like we haven't done anything here to even help that goal. And additionally, the economy is in utter turmoil and people are suffering from this. So you're giving me two options. It's a false choice and you failed at both options. Well, it's also how they weaponize patriotism from that party. It's what they do, right? They have their people wrap themselves in the American flag and they say it's your patriotic duty to pay more at the pump. And if you're unwilling to do that and unwilling to sacrifice your money to pay more at the pump in order to make sure to order to ensure Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, well, then you're not a patriot. Then you don't love this country. I thought you loved this country and then Donald Trump is, well, don't you love me? It's really manipulative and really freaky shit. You know, and it goes back to the Epstein class, right? In my view, what this behavior is reflective of is Epstein class behavior. I mean, these people are predators. And so the conduct you describe, Brett, is they pray on people's happiness. And they don't like seeing people happy or doing well. And for them, only they can fix it. And they need to inflict the pain. And then they'll say, now I need to help you with the pain that I inflicted. You need me. You need me in your life. They're sick. These are sick, sick, sick people. They're predators. They're Epstein class people. They are the arsonists, yes, then they want to be the firefighters, but it's deeper than just that metaphor. They are sick, Epstein class predators who are vultures who, it isn't enough for them to have even wealth, limitless wealth for generations to come is not enough for them. They need to measure it based on your suffering. And that is who they are. They relish the suffering. They like the slaughter. I mean, it's not a coincidence, right, that when you look at the Trump regime, yes, they're covering up child sex trafficking rings here in the United States. And then they start this catastrophic war and they start slaughtering little girls. They slaughter little children, little girls in Minab, little girls during volleyball practice in Lamar. This is who the Trump regime is when you look at a lot of these images coming from Gaza as well. You see little girls going to school who are murdered and slaughtered with their backpacks on. I mean, it is absolutely, absolutely horrific. And then, you know, you look at these people, these Magahry public and senators like Senator Kennedy. I mean, look, let me do it like this way. You want to know how we resolve the catastrophic situation in Iran right now caused by Trump and Netanyahu's invading. You want to know how you do it? You want me to solve it? I'm going to do a cordian hands. Will that help with it? A cordian hands. Here's what you do. You take the two aircraft carriers that are in the Arabian sea and you leave. That's what you do. And then if Iran still won't let tankers leave the straight of her moves, then you go see international community. Be left, look what they're doing, then you can build an international coalition and it's a pretty. I'm all for the quiet quitting approach. And I know Donald Trump was floating that at some point just like, just get out. Just get out. You leave. You know what's going to happen, too? You know the, the lunacy of it all, the, after all of the attacks on Biden, this, you know, right? If Trump just took the freaking aircraft carriers and left all of a sudden, the price of oil would go down, the price of diesel would go down, the treasury yields would go down. And people would be like, he did it right, and people would genuinely, even today, even September 24th of 2026, if he took that action, he would get probably not the same credit he would if he did this earlier, which he does not deserve and he'd be very clear, dude deserves no credit. Dude's a war criminal. Dude's a felon. Dude's a sexual threat. I hate the guy. I hate that this Trump regime is the corruption doesn't do it justice. So I'm not trying to give cosine this idea. I'm just telling you the lunacy of all of this right now, this shared collective reality. If he just took the steps of removing the aircraft carrier, he'd actually be praised as doing the right thing. You would see all these metrics go in the right direction. And the guy who did the damage would get credit for the damage that he caused, which should never take place in the first place. But at the same time, you know, and I mean this sincerely, we're, you know, and I don't see this as a political question. I just say it as an observer like where the hell are Democrats right now? Where the hell is leadership? Where the hell is anybody looking at this and saying in a profound way that can break through. This is crazy. This is lunacy. What the hell? I mean, could you, I mean, no, we didn't this, can you imagine this person, that person? But the moment they roll out the red carpet for she, you know what the Democrats should do, or any opposition party, do a press conference, bring a freaking red carpet, call it your red carpet press conference, and basically say, we just rolled out. This was embarrassing. This is humiliating. We're going to hold hearings on, I mean, just do some shit like that. Like it, it doesn't seem, and I don't want just to be like, oh, I want you to run. I don't want to run. I don't want to run for Congress. I don't want to run for Senate. I don't want to run for, I don't, I'm no into, those are not my ambitions. My ambitions is my role here at this network to build independent media and to continue to grow it. That's it. And I think it's important to have someone focused on that, and that's what I am focused on doing here. But come on. This is like, from a political standpoint, this is some layup stuff right here. Speak out again. I mean, look, you've got Maga Republican Senator Kennedy from Louisiana. Here's what he says. This is his take, his assessment of this whole situation. This is how he sees it. This is like, I truly wonder what, what, what, how do you people even think like this here play this clip? I think that the people running Iran are reptiles, and they're part of a colony of reptiles. China, North Korea, Russia, and as I said, Iran. The chief reptile, the quarterback, is President Xi in China. You can't trust any of them, all four of them are the same. It's like the same hooker in different dresses. They all like time-share salesmen. You can't trust them. I wouldn't turn my back on any of them, even if I thought they knew they were two days dead. Okay. Hooker, reptile, hookers, so are you saying the reptile hooker time-share salesman is in the White House, and we're bowing down to the multi-faceted, multi-dressed reptilian hooker time-share salesman at the White House, and then you also manage to pick, they manage to pick like one of the politicians who actually resembles a reptile. Also, I'm just going to, the only person they could have picked that would have been more like a reptile would have been Rick Scott, I think, but the thing is, these are smart people too. The thing about a guy like Senator John Kennedy, by the way, that whole affect he puts on his voice. - The voice is fake. - It's all fake. It's all literally fake. And I believe like he went to like he'd like, got some degree from like Oxford at some point. Like he's a very bright guy. And you see those moments in those hearings occasionally when Cash Patel comes there, right? When he starts talking about, so what's this about the beach reality, right? And it's pretty good in pressure. And you're like, oh, he's like, you know, Cash had his defenses down. And now he kind of got trapped by this guy. And you've seen that a couple times. And so it makes it all the more maddening that these people are actually intelligent and know what they're doing and continue to do stuff like that. Somebody who doesn't fit this category who's not intelligent and shows it all the time is Senator Tommy Tuberville, coached Tuberville, Tuberville. And his whole thing now as we have interest rate spiking and people suffering, his big concern right now that he wants the American people to know is that did you know that pilots are furries? They engage in the sexual behavior while wearing animal costumes. And we need to do something about pilot furries. And you must be saying, Brett, that's ridiculous. Well, he literally said it is. And, but it's real, he said it on the floor of the United States Senate. And when he got called out by it and a lot of people made fun of him for it because of how ridiculous it is, he had to defend himself with this ridiculous tweet where he wrote, I know the deranged Democrats don't like the fact that I called out the insane furry culture this week. What the hell are you talking? What did it arrange Democrats? It wasn't making fun of you, dude. But the truth is there is an alarming. And by the way, these words are like all caps for the audios, there's alarming. Number of these deranged people working in our airline industry. Don't believe me just a few months ago. Pilots were meowing and barking at each other over the radio at DCA. I don't even know. I'm gonna say something using my first amendment right here. And I fully believe that Tommy Tubberville, he's really into furry porn. Like that is, I think, I'm pretty sure I could say that. So that's my take away. If someone's so fixated on this as Tommy Tubberville's coach, then you're gonna be like, but contrast that though to what the Parliament leader and leader on a negotiator and be Galibov posted today. Happy 5.1% 10 year America celebrate. It's the floor two years out. You wanted to run drag back to the 1970s. Nobody told you a run isn't for arrogant amateurs. We'll return you to 1970s rates plus high gas prices, diesel shortages, and bell bottoms. Enjoy the nostalgia. And then Galibov posts wild E. Coyote memes with that also, that Maga meme guy, who wears the Maga hat that's been going viral lately. And then it's news articles like, "Besent dares, traders, bet against him. I am the house." You realize that Donald Trump was the house with the Trump casinos and they went bankrupt, like not once, not twice, the three names. And four times, like five times, like six times, like he bankrupted casinos over and over and over again, with the same pathological flaws, which is putting it nicely. The same behavior, the same malicious incompetence, recklessness, malice that we're seeing right now. It's the same stuff. That's why they were bankrupt because we're seeing what Trump does in real time. It's happening now with our country. And so as MB Galibov is posting that, what's the actual data? In a three hour time period, Treasury yields on the 10 year notes, now went above 5.2% for the first time in 19 years. The 10 year note yield is now up 50 basis points in 30 days and 30 basis points in two days. 30 basis points in two days, even when I can also just do, can I just do the math on those years, by the way? 'Cause 19 years ago, it's actually a significant time period. 19 years ago, from right now is 2007, right before the great financial crisis. And so I think that's worth pointing out. I know, to me, when I think, I'm sure everyone has their own version of this, when I think like 19 years ago, I'm like, oh, you mean like, you know, 19, when was 19 years ago? I always think like 20 years ago is 1980. I always think like 30 years ago is 1970. You know, my time's all off, but 19 years is 2007, right before the great financial crisis, right before the great recession. Yeah, but you know, our leaders who aren't leaders are behaving like this, who loves his granite, look at the reptile hookers, furries, barking, meow, meow, you know, and their leaders, you can say what you want about 'em, say what you want. Enbigala Buff is a, do you realize they're all doctors? Like they're all PhDs. They all have engineering backgrounds, technical backgrounds. I mean, Iran's president is a world-renowned cardio vascular surgeon, Dr. Pazeskin, who's like invented methodologies of certain types of bypass surgeries. Dr. Aronchi, Iran's foreign minister, wrote the main treatise on international diplomatic negotiations and guiding principles that's used by foreign ministers across the world. You have Enbigala Buff, right there. Dr. Gala Buff, who himself is a PhD, a background in very, very kind of technical areas and who's has many new real estate guys, do they have them? Yeah, well, we have, we have, we have, Trump's son-in-law Kushner, who basically bankrupted and is one business deal before all the Griff, you know, was to bank, I mean, it was probably Griff too, but using Daddy's money, bankrupt a building on Fifth Avenue, then people forget this in the first term. We did like a blockade on Qatar with the Saudis, and then Qatar bailed Kushner out, and then the blockade was removed, and then Kushner went and did all that, you know, did all those deals. You have Donald Trump's scumbag real estate guy, Whitcoff, Whitcoff and Kushner, out there making fools of themselves. And so you've got this incredibly just, again, from a non-political lens, we're putting out the weirdest losers out there, and they're putting in their A-Team of smart, sophisticated people, and then we are, and it's a collectively, I know we aren't underestimating them, and mocking them, and behaving this way, and then I'll just leave you with this. I don't want to show Netanyahu, you know, what he's doing, because I did a video on it, enough Netanyahu, you know, and I didn't even have to show that many Trump clips, but I want you just to look at right here, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, and this guy's been making his rounds on all the U.S. media attacking Mamdani, and threatening war with Iran, and we're gonna bring the U.S. back into war, so he shows up and gets right into the face of the Iranian ambassador to the UN, and brings a starling to give to the Iranian ambassador, then records it for like the propaganda, for the Netanyahu campaign in Israel. Just watch this here playing this clip. - I thought it's appropriate to give you the styling, if you heard the Prime Minister, it can be very useful for you to allow the Iranian people to get their freedom after what you did to them. So you want to take it and deliver it back to Tehran? It can be very useful for you in Iran. We love the Iranian people, and we pray for the regime change there. It will come that day. And then you expect, I mean, just think about it, like so you're saying to the guy, we pray for regime change, meaning we pray for you to be dead basically, that's what that means. And then we're saying that we wanna negotiate and try to do a deal, and that we're gonna do a deal, and that Iran respects Whitcoff and Kushner, which they don't, we talk about this in WTF America. At a basic level, if you're going to do a deal with someone, you're going to have to expect and understand their existence. You're not gonna do a deal the way the Trump regime is doing, and threatening, we're gonna kill you, we're gonna make you cry, uncle. I mean, again, this behavior is so disgusting, and it's weak and it's pathetic behavior. And what I hope you see that we're calling out here are universal bigger principles here on the Midas' Touch network that it's like right and wrong and just basic stuff here. And so in any event, we're calling it out every step of the way. I wanted to end with that to share what was going on there. I did a whole video on Netanyahu's speech, but he attacks Mamdani, and then he says, we're gonna get rid of the Iranian regime. He attacks Syria's president, Al-Sharah, and it's just non-stop attacking country after country, and say, we're for peace, not for genocide. And so I don't want to play it, but I know we covered a lot on this episode, so it's all leave it at that Brett. Anything you want to say? - No, it was all very Trumpy. But you see, one of the things we try to highlight is this kind of network of autocrats and how they all kind of use the same strategies with their own kind of flavor to it, so to speak based on where they are and who the people they represent are, and you see it everywhere from the United States to you saw it in Brazil with Bolsonaro, you see it in Turkey, you see versions of it in Argentina, in Israel, you see it all over, and it's all interconnected. And so I think it's important to kind of continue to connect those threads and show everybody what's going on. This has been a great episode.
