[00:23:52]  Okay.
[00:23:52]  I actually bought a couple copies myself just to hand out to people.
[00:23:56]  So, yeah.
[00:23:59]  We got a lot of stuff that we're going to discuss today, guys.
[00:24:01]  We're going to be discussing James Comey being indicted again.
[00:24:05]  We're going to be talking about the feds raiding the Somalians in Minneapolis.
[00:24:09]  We're going to be talking about the truth on China with Cyrus Jansen.
[00:24:12]  We're going to have him on at about 8 p.m.
[00:24:14]  We're going to be talking with him.
[00:24:16]  Also, we're going to, on OSS, I'm going to go through two debates.
[00:24:20]  I'm going to cover the one Palestinian versus.
[00:24:23]  Sorry, one Israeli versus 20 pro Palestine people.
[00:24:27]  And then we're also going to cover.
[00:24:29]  Hold on one second.
[00:24:30]  Just let me focus that.
[00:24:34]  I don't know why it's not focusing.
[00:24:36]  It's a little blurred.
[00:24:38]  And then after we do that, we're going to go ahead and cover.
[00:24:42]  We'll do Andrew Wilson versus Owen Schroer.
[00:24:44]  I didn't watch the debate, but I know that they talked about a couple of different topics the war and some other things.
[00:24:50]  So that'll be good.
[00:24:51]  I'll probably cover that on OSS, though.
[00:24:53]  Let me.
[00:24:55]  Give me one sec, guys.
[00:24:55]  I'm going to turn the camera on and off.
[00:25:11]  All right, I turned the camera on and off real quick.
[00:25:15]  But don't worry, I still got you guys over on this side.
[00:25:17]  This is what happens.
[00:25:18]  You got multiple cameras every now and then, things act stupid.
[00:25:22]  But let's see here.
[00:25:25]  So we'll kind of get right into it, man.
[00:25:27]  We're going to cover a couple of the red pill topics, too.
[00:25:30]  So the first thing we're going to cover, okay, hold on.
[00:25:39]  The first thing we're going to cover is this story right here, which is absolutely nuts.
[00:25:42]  Let me see if camera one works now.
[00:25:44]  Is this still not fucking focusing?
[00:25:50]  What the hell, man?
[00:25:51]  Some bullshit always happens with these goddamn cameras.
[00:25:57]  Let me tap on this.
[00:25:57]  I don't know why it's doing that.
[00:26:01]  I got to get TPC films on it.
[00:26:03]  Now it's acting weird.
[00:26:07]  Hmm.
[00:26:09]  Very, very strange.
[00:26:11]  Well, well, well.
[00:26:14]  Tech always does some bullshit.
[00:26:16]  The Mossad must have hacked into it or something.
[00:26:20]  Because.
[00:26:23]  Hmm.
[00:26:25]  All right, whatever, bro.
[00:26:28]  Luckily.
[00:26:28]  I don't know why it's doing that.
[00:26:37]  Should I unplug and unplug and not unplug, but let me take.
[00:26:41]  Should I take the lens off and put it back on?
[00:26:44]  Will that do it?
[00:26:46]  I don't know if that'll do it.
[00:26:49]  God damn it.
[00:26:50]  Shit always happens, chat.
[00:26:51]  Shit always happens to some degree.
[00:26:53]  But now you guys can see behind me all the decorations I have.
[00:26:55]  You can see them all nice and clear.
[00:26:56]  You can see the font with the women's books and my little sign over there on the back.
[00:27:02]  Okay.
[00:27:03]  It is touchscreen LCD.
[00:27:04]  It is.
[00:27:05]  It is.
[00:27:05]  I don't know why it's being retarded though
[00:27:39]  Let me see if that fixes it Let me see if that will do it.
[00:27:44]  Let's see.
[00:27:48]  Nope.
[00:27:49]  All right.
[00:27:49]  Whatever.
[00:27:49]  Fuck it.
[00:27:50]  For now, we'll just use the other camera angle.
[00:27:54]  Okay.
[00:27:55]  So let me go ahead and get this thing like this.
[00:27:58]  All right.
[00:27:58]  So we're going to go ahead, guys, and cover this right here.
[00:28:04]  Okay.
[00:28:05]  Which, as y'all can see here, fucking insane.
[00:28:10]  Modern day hypergamy.
[00:28:11]  Okay.
[00:28:12]  Look at this chick.
[00:28:13]  Take your wife to a sports event.
[00:28:15]  Camera focus on her.
[00:28:16]  Random finder social media.
[00:28:17]  Gains 300,000 followers.
[00:28:18]  She divorces you to model.
[00:28:20]  So, this is what happened.
[00:28:21]  I guess Turkish Airlines Euroleague.
[00:28:23]  They're playing some kind of soccer game.
[00:28:26]  Then there she is.
[00:28:28]  This is her and her husband.
[00:28:30]  Before 98 followers.
[00:28:32]  And then she gets 127 mil.
[00:28:34]  I don't know what the fuck that means.
[00:28:36]  Probably 127,000, probably is what I'm assuming.
[00:28:39]  And she divorces her guy.
[00:28:42]  You know?
[00:28:43]  And she divorces her guy.
[00:28:45]  And, you know, this is why I tell you guys all the time, right?
[00:28:54]  Whenever you're in a relationship with a girl, right?
[00:28:56]  And she goes ahead and gets like the leverage in the relationship, she becomes famous or something like that.
[00:29:01]  Like, it just, you're just, you're on borrowed time, bro.
[00:29:03]  You're 100% on borrowed time.
[00:29:05]  It's just a matter of time until she fucking finds somebody else.
[00:29:10]  Because once she becomes famous, new guys are gonna get into the picture.
[00:29:15]  And when new guys get into the picture, What are you going to do?
[00:29:18]  You know, he's probably like a regular dude, right?
[00:29:21]  You can see here, nothing special about this guy.
[00:29:24]  Probably a regular guy working a job, right?
[00:29:27]  Might be middle class, upper middle class.
[00:29:30]  It doesn't matter.
[00:29:32]  Because once your girl becomes the star, it's a wrap from there.
[00:29:36]  And this is why I tell y'all all the time, bro you have to be the prize in your relationship every single time.
[00:29:41]  Because women don't know how to act when they have the leverage.
[00:29:43]  They really don't.
[00:29:44]  They become awful people, okay?
[00:29:46]  They become absolutely awful people.
[00:29:53]  I took the lens off.
[00:29:54]  I'm going to put the lens back on now, chat.
[00:29:55]  Let's see what happens.
[00:29:56]  Maybe that'll fix everything.
[00:30:09]  Bear with me, chat.
[00:30:14]  Yeah, damn it.
[00:30:19]  Okay.
[00:30:22]  All right, maybe that'll fix it.
[00:30:23]  I don't know.
[00:30:26]  So, let me make it manual focus.
[00:31:10]  Anyway, so, yeah, whenever they get the upper hand, it's going to be the end of the relationship, bro.
[00:31:19]  This is why you guys have to focus on always being better than your girl in every single way.
[00:31:23]  And I know that that sounds horrible to say it like that, but this is a friendly reminder to you guys that if your girl becomes more famous than you, if she makes more money than you, if she becomes the star of the relationship or whatever, it's just a matter of time until she's going to lead that relationship and then lead it to the fucking end.
[00:31:40]  Because again, Women are terrible people when they have leverage in a relationship.
[00:31:44]  Frank, go to your bed.
[00:31:45]  Bed.
[00:31:46]  They're terrible people when they have leverage in a relationship, guys.
[00:31:49]  They will fucking ruin your life, bro.
[00:31:51]  I'm telling you, they will fucking ruin it all.
[00:31:52]  They'll sit there and be like, oh, I could do better.
[00:31:54]  I could do better.
[00:31:55]  And let me kind of explain this to you guys, right?
[00:31:57]  So, women have this, you know, they have this, what I call the grass is greener on the other side, phobia.
[00:32:13]  Okay.
[00:32:13]  And this grass is green on another side phobia is basically, it's always, am I doing the best that I can?
[00:32:19]  Do I have the best guy that I can get?
[00:32:21]  Okay.
[00:32:22]  Like, am I really fulfilling my female potential?
[00:32:25]  Am I getting like everything that I deserve?
[00:32:29]  Right.
[00:32:29]  And it used to be, right, like this used to be kind of calmed pretty easily when they married the guy that they went to high school with or, you know, some guy that they met in college or whatever.
[00:32:38]  But thanks to the internet and social media, right, they have this feeling and this anxiety all the fucking time.
[00:32:47]  And since they have this feeling and anxiety all the fucking time, it's very difficult for them to consolidate on one guy.
[00:32:52]  Even though they want to have one guy, right?
[00:32:56]  And they want to have the peace that comes with one guy, it's very difficult for them to consolidate on this when you got the internet telling them that they deserve the world.
[00:33:03]  You got people all over the place telling them that they could do better.
[00:33:06]  You got them getting followers on Instagram.
[00:33:07]  You got them getting hit up by guys that are, you know, significantly more successful, have more money, have more status than you.
[00:33:15]  And what ends up happening with a lot of these women is they have a very bad, um, Women aren't really able to deduce if someone wants to be with them long term or if someone wants to be with them short term.
[00:33:25]  Does that make sense, Chad?
[00:33:26]  I'm going to talk about this here in a second with another video that I have for you guys.
[00:33:29]  All they know is that they have a lot of attention.
[00:33:31]  Okay.
[00:33:33]  And a lot of girls make the mistake of thinking, oh, I get all this attention.
[00:33:37]  This is all guys that want to hook up with me.
[00:33:39]  And they don't realize that a majority of those guys that are hitting them up in their inbox don't really want to hook up with them.
[00:33:45]  They simply want to get laid.
[00:33:48]  Okay.
[00:33:49]  But a lot of women have an inability to kind of figure this out, unfortunately.
[00:33:53]  And since they don't have the ability to figure it out, they get duped, they get fooled, they get bamboozled, they get love bombed, as they would say, because they're too stupid to figure it out.
[00:34:01]  And a guy that would have been good for them, right, that was a good boyfriend or a good husband or whatever, they end up like kind of writing him off and going and trying to get a better deal.
[00:34:10]  Now, realizing that that better deal isn't really a better deal for them long term.
[00:34:14]  It might be a better deal for them for a week, a month, or two months, but they don't have the sexual market value or capital to actually capture that guy long term.
[00:34:22]  Okay.
[00:34:23]  And this is something that.
[00:34:25]  A lot of women don't figure out until it's too late.
[00:34:27]  And with this girl here, for example, right?
[00:34:30]  With this girl, she's gonna learn it the hard way.
[00:34:33]  She's gonna learn it the hard way, right?
[00:34:35]  This guy was probably fine to some degree, probably wasn't maybe the best guy ever, but he was probably good enough.
[00:34:40]  And she's like, you know what?
[00:34:41]  I can do better.
[00:34:43]  And that's what ended up happening.
[00:34:44]  And I'm telling you guys, social media is literally the worst thing that could have happened for women, dude.
[00:34:49]  It really is.
[00:34:50]  It really is.
[00:34:51]  It's corrupted them, it's made them awful when it comes to being able to stay with one guy long term, it's made them really bad.
[00:34:59]  At figuring out who wants them for real versus who doesn't.
[00:35:03]  And it's made them incredibly.
[00:35:06]  Yeah, TPC, I do need your help actually.
[00:35:08]  I see you in the chat.
[00:35:10]  It's made them incredibly ungrateful.
[00:35:15]  So let me head up to TBC real quick.

=== Fixing The Blurry Lens (04:36) ===

[00:35:20]  What's up, brother?
[00:35:21]  I just noticed it was a phone call.
[00:35:23]  Yeah, I don't know why, man.
[00:35:24]  I don't know.
[00:35:25]  Like, I just came on and just, like, cooked.
[00:35:32]  Yeah, sure.
[00:35:33]  Here, let me.
[00:35:36]  Hold on.
[00:35:36]  Hold on, guys.
[00:35:37]  I'm on with one of the OSS generals right now.
[00:35:40]  Let me fix this shit real quick for you guys.
[00:35:42]  Okay.
[00:35:50]  Now you're good.
[00:35:53]  So hit menu.
[00:36:01]  I'm coming to glory It's on autofocus I was saying the lens is not properly attached there's not supported Okay.
[00:36:29]  That's probably what it is.
[00:36:30]  All right.
[00:36:39]  It did have some dust on it.
[00:36:40]  I ain't gonna lie.
[00:36:41]  It did.
[00:36:44]  Okay.
[00:36:48]  Okay.
[00:37:00]  Wait, attach it then turn it on, right?
[00:37:04]  Attach it, then turn it on, right?
[00:37:39]  Let's see if it fixes.
[00:37:50]  It's still blurry right now.
[00:37:54]  Because when I saw it, gonna do what?
[00:38:10]  Okay, I did that before, but it didn't.
[00:38:12]  I don't think it fixed it.
[00:38:16]  When I tap it, no.
[00:38:19]  It's funny because everything behind me is focused.
[00:38:39]  Oh, there's a little switch on the lens.
[00:38:41]  Okay.
[00:38:47]  It says auto focus.
[00:38:48]  You said move to manual.
[00:39:00]  And then do I still tap the screen or no?
[00:39:02]  That doesn't do anything.
[00:39:09]  No, it doesn't.
[00:39:10]  It's still coming in kind of blurred even when I do that.
[00:39:15]  Yeah.
[00:39:17]  Yeah, I don't know.
[00:39:30]  Yeah, that's fucking weird, man, because it shows everything behind me fine, but it just doesn't focus on me for some odd reason.
[00:39:53]  Wait, AFMF?

=== Camera Focus Issues Explained (07:44) ===

[00:39:57]  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:39:58]  Yep.
[00:40:37]  The lens is not attached correctly or is not supported.
[00:40:39]  What the fuck?
[00:41:24]  Yeah, folks, there we go.
[00:41:44]  bottom Oh, no, it didn't let me do it.
[00:42:10]  Do it right here?
[00:42:13]  Like right here.
[00:42:19]  All right, let me see.
[00:42:20]  See if that fixes it.
[00:42:22]  Okay.
[00:42:27]  Hold on, I think I can move it.
[00:42:35]  I don't know why it's not focusing here.
[00:42:54]  I'm trying that right now.
[00:42:55]  And it's not letting you do it?
[00:42:58]  Not.
[00:42:58]  Well, it's not doing anything when I do that.
[00:43:06]  Yeah, something is off.
[00:43:13]  All right.
[00:43:21]  Let me try.
[00:43:22]  I think I might have a spare lens in here.
[00:43:24]  All right, man, I'll let you go.
[00:43:40]  All right, let me just figure this out, man.
[00:43:44]  I'm going to get off.
[00:43:47]  All right, man.
[00:43:47]  Peace.
[00:43:50]  All right.
[00:43:51]  Fucking bullshit with technology, man.
[00:43:53]  Every fucking time, some bullshit fucking happens, it never fails.
[00:43:59]  Give me one sec, chat.
[00:44:02]  Turn this fucking thing off real fast.
[00:44:04]  Let me see if this lens will work better.
[00:44:07]  I have another lens here that I might be able to use.
[00:44:11]  Give me one sec.
[00:44:25]  Okay.
[00:44:27]  Okay, this one's super dark, but let me turn up the ISO on it real quick.
[00:44:59]  Let's see here.
[00:45:01]  That might be better, chat.
[00:45:03]  Yeah, that's 400 ISO right there.
[00:45:04]  Okay, I got to crank this thing up a little bit more.
[00:45:06]  But I think you guys get the idea here.
[00:45:11]  Focus this thing.
[00:45:14]  All right.
[00:45:17]  We're using a different lens, chat.
[00:45:18]  We're using a different lens.
[00:45:19]  I don't know why this shit is so fucking foggy or whatever.
[00:45:24]  But I think that'll work for now.
[00:45:27]  I think it'll work for now.
[00:45:32]  Give me one sec, chat.
[00:45:36]  Bring the ISO up a tiny bit longer, a tiny bit more.
[00:46:24]  Maybe that'll make it better.
[00:46:28]  Does this shit still?
[00:46:29]  Oh, man.
[00:46:30]  It's still fucking like kind of foggy or whatever.
[00:46:33]  But hey, I think it'll work for now, chat.
[00:46:37]  I think it'll work for now.
[00:46:41]  Zoom this in a bit more.
[00:46:46]  All right.
[00:46:48]  I'll fix that shit.
[00:46:49]  I'll fix it.
[00:46:51]  But for now, we'll let it run.
[00:46:52]  When I have one of the videos running, I'll fix it.
[00:46:54]  I got a different, I got to put a wide lens on it just now.
[00:46:59]  Um, yeah, I don't know why the fuck it is so goddamn.
[00:47:04]  Uh,.
[00:47:10]  Someone said it looks even worse.
[00:47:11]  All right, fuck off, asshole.
[00:47:14]  All right, let's go ahead and get to the next.
[00:47:20]  Yeah, because those camera angles look good.
[00:47:23]  Might be just the camera.
[00:47:24]  I got to fucking fix the camera or some shit.
[00:47:26]  I don't know.

[00:48:31]  So, fast forward again.
[00:48:33]  We're having great long walks, great weekends.
[00:48:37]  A couple months go by, having really good, serious talks.

[00:48:44]  There's a little bit of.
[00:48:46]  Future faking in there.
[00:48:48]  So, a couple months go by, you're doing one of your four mile walks, you're holding hands, the dogs are sniffing the grass, the sun is setting, you're only in mile one of the four mile walk, mind you.

[00:49:16]  Are we kind of exclusive?
[00:49:18]  What's the plan, Stan?
[00:49:20]  I mean, I don't want to pigeonhole you, but it's been a few months and it seems to be going well.
[00:49:26]  And I'm letting you into my safe space, my emotional.
[00:49:32]  This is my favorite place on earth.
[00:49:35]  Now, notice how, you know, she didn't give him a chance for a while.
[00:49:39]  Then she finally gave him a chance, right?
[00:49:41]  And they're seeing each other for a few months.
[00:49:44]  Okay.
[00:49:44]  That's very important to know.
[00:49:46]  And I don't just let anyone hear.
[00:49:47]  Stupid me.
[00:49:48]  I'll never do that again.
[00:49:50]  Spoiler alert.
[00:49:51]  And this man looks at me dead in the eye, still holding my hand, and says, You know, I don't think so.
[00:50:05]  We're going to talk about that in a second.
[00:50:09]  Let me read some of these real fast.
[00:50:11]  Okay.

[00:50:20]  Like, have half a brain, dude.
[00:50:22]  No one, most people don't even know what OPEC is, bro.

[00:50:30]  Like, stop being low IQ.

[00:51:13]  Yeah, bro.
[00:51:14]  I know UAE left OPEC, but nobody gives a fuck about that, dude.
[00:51:17]  Like, you got to have a little bit of wherewithal to understand, like, most Americans don't even know what OPEC is.
[00:51:23]  Prolific 3 subscribed.
[00:51:24]  Shout out to you.
[00:51:25]  I'm still going to cover it, but it's not going to be, I'm not going to put that in title, dude.
[00:51:30]  There's a reason why I stream and you don't, okay?
[00:51:32]  Like, TBC Films, hey, one chest told me you need a video help.

[00:52:31]  Good stuff, my friend.
[00:52:31]  Good stuff.
[00:52:33]  I've cut out all the trash people around me, including most of my family and so called friends.
[00:52:36]  Yeah, bro.
[00:52:37]  I'm glad that you're doing that.

[00:52:47]  Potential RP topic on Osmond Pod says he is scared to have children because of financial reasons, but is just coping with the fact that he is with an OnlyFans girl.
[00:52:56]  Most likely doesn't make as much as her and doesn't want any procreate with a 304.
[00:53:00]  Okay.
[00:53:01]  Shula Myron, my professor pointed out that recycling is supposed to reduce harm, but in a growth driven economy and actually increase total environment impact because rural sustainability requires reducing overall production.
[00:53:14]  Okay.
[00:53:16]  Rogers Pershaw says, check out the police officer from Houston going on a rant about black people.
[00:53:20]  We watched that the other day.
[00:53:21]  Have you reacted to Tiags and Vera's situation yet?
[00:53:24]  Shit is pathetic.
[00:53:25]  Don't know what that is.
[00:53:26]  I don't know who Tiags and Yara are.
[00:53:29]  Martin, on April 26th, the Supreme Court ruled 9 0 that states can no longer scrutinize against citizens for two way rights.
[00:53:38]  Okay.
[00:53:40]  Martin, off topic, but are you and Fresh doing a new credit card episode for beginners if you are?
[00:53:44]  I don't know when.
[00:53:46]  I don't know when, but we can do another one for you guys.
[00:53:49]  Okay, so let's go back to.
[00:53:50]  So basically, this girl gets this guy, right?
[00:53:54]  The guy chases her around, wants to get in a relationship with her.
[00:53:57]  She doesn't give him the time of day, right?
[00:54:01]  She finally gives him a chance.
[00:54:02]  He dates her for a few months, and she asks him the proverbial, What are we?
[00:54:07]  Right?
[00:54:07]  Let's rewind this a little bit.
[00:54:11]  And as usual, as expected, what is she doing?
[00:54:13]  Another chick.
[00:54:15]  In a car complaining about men on TikTok.
[00:54:19]  Every single time, bro.
[00:54:20]  Never fails.
[00:54:21]  Say out loud, silly me.
[00:54:23]  I go, so are we kind of going to delete the apps?
[00:54:29]  Are we kind of exclusive?
[00:54:31]  What's the plan, Stan?
[00:54:33]  I mean, I don't want to pigeonhole you, but it's been a few months and it seems to be going well.
[00:54:40]  And of course, she has this annoying fucking filter on with an annoying voice.
[00:54:44]  Letting you into my safe space, my.
[00:54:48]  Emotional and a bunch of makeup on, as you guys can tell from her hand versus her face.
[00:54:55]  My favorite place on earth, and I don't just let anyone hear stupid me, I'll never do that again.
[00:55:01]  Spoiler alert.
[00:55:02]  And this man looks at me dead in the eye, still holding my hand, and says, You know, I don't think so.
[00:55:16]  I don't think I want a relationship.
[00:55:21]  I don't think I want to be exclusive.
[00:55:24]  I don't want to be with you.
[00:55:26]  I don't see a future.
[00:55:27]  And I'm like, It was kind of like, you know, that.
[00:55:34]  That meme where it's like the buffering.
[00:55:37]  That was me.
[00:55:38]  I'm like buffering.
[00:55:39]  So my little brain, I'm like, and we're only on mile one of four.
[00:55:47]  My only thought at that time is, get me out of here.
[00:55:52]  Get me out of here.
[00:55:53]  I'm like.
[00:55:54]  Immediately makes herself a victim.
[00:55:56]  Immediately, as usual.
[00:55:58]  Oh, get me out of here.
[00:56:00]  Watch what she says next.
[00:56:03]  I think it's just like being adopted and I don't know, being a Taurus or.
[00:56:10]  Am I checked?
[00:56:11]  Please check your email.
[00:56:11]  Made a new G emote banger.
[00:56:13]  Also, TPC film says it's floggy because it needs to be cleaned.
[00:56:15]  Yeah, I got that.
[00:56:16]  Yeah, I don't know.
[00:56:17]  It's cash for tell, bro.
[00:56:18]  I don't know if we're going to.
[00:56:20]  I think the other one we got is funnier.
[00:56:22]  And I'm running out of, you know, I ran out of emotes.
[00:56:25]  So I got to be picky about what I keep.
[00:56:28]  Just being me and having lived in New York, I need to always know there's an escape hatch.
[00:56:33]  Like, how?
[00:56:34]  Where are the exits?
[00:56:36]  How can I leave?
[00:56:37]  I couldn't leave.
[00:56:39]  There was the only way out was finishing this four mile walk.
[00:56:43]  And I'm like, and this person stuffs at my house.
[00:56:47]  I'm like thinking to myself, I wish I could, like in Sims, I wish I could go to my house before we go back there, remove all of his materials and put them outside in front of his car so that I didn't have to.
[00:57:00]  You know what's funny?
[00:57:01]  Like, she's losing her mind.
[00:57:03]  She's crashing out basically because this guy isn't sure if he wants to commit to her.
[00:57:07]  And what does she do?
[00:57:09]  She basically validates, like, why you should have committed to her?
[00:57:12]  Like, you know, it's kind of funny how, like, you know, women do stupid shit like this and they wonder why they're single.
[00:57:19]  Like, what she doesn't realize, she's not asking herself the right questions.
[00:57:21]  And I said this also in my tweet.
[00:57:26]  He didn't want to commit to you because it's your fucking fault because you suck.
[00:57:34]  Like, if he dated you for several months and he doesn't want to commit to you, that's your fucking fault.
[00:57:40]  That means you're more than likely a sucky fucking girlfriend.
[00:57:44]  Okay, that's what it probably means.
[00:57:48]  Okay, um, like, but women don't like to hear this, right?
[00:57:55]  Like, I go, what she doesn't realize is it's her fault he did not want to commit to her, commit after months of seeing her.
[00:58:05]  Women fail to realize it's their job to convince the man to settle, not his.
[00:58:09]  Sorry, a little typo here.
[00:58:11]  I meant to put, it's her fault he did not want to commit after months of seeing her.
[00:58:16]  Right?
[00:58:17]  And the thing is, right?
[00:58:20]  And I think this girl's like a TV anchor or some shit like that.
[00:58:23]  Like she's like a news anchor or something like that.
[00:58:26]  Like, and this is really bad.
[00:58:28]  This is actually very common with girls that do like, you know, entertainment around social media.
[00:58:33]  Girls that are like in entertainment or social media, another reason why I tell you guys not to wife them is because they don't do wifey duties.
[00:58:40]  They don't cook.
[00:58:41]  They don't clean.
[00:58:42]  They don't like do any, you know, they don't do anything that they like should really be doing as a girlfriend or a wife.
[00:58:48]  Right?
[00:58:50]  She probably talks a lot.
[00:58:51]  Her voice is annoying.
[00:58:53]  Right?
[00:58:55]  So, women that are in entertainment, right, or social media don't tend to make good girlfriends because they think, right, their career is good enough.
[00:59:08]  Or, oh, I work really hard.
[00:59:09]  I'm famous.
[00:59:10]  So, you know, I get to kind of chill.
[00:59:11]  I don't have to like do wifey duties.
[00:59:14]  And that's fine.
[00:59:15]  A lot of guys aren't really going to complain about that.
[00:59:17]  But you know what's going to happen?
[00:59:18]  You're just not going to get wifed.
[00:59:21]  That's what's going to happen.
[00:59:23]  So, when it's time, right, when you ask, when you, you know, go on a fucking walk with a guy, And you ask him, what are we?
[00:59:31]  And he gives you the, you know, the, I don't know.
[00:59:35]  That's your fucking fault as a female.
[00:59:38]  You did not do a good job of convincing him to get in a long term relationship with you because you didn't add enough value.
[00:59:45]  So he doesn't know.
[00:59:48]  That's really what it is.
[00:59:51]  That's really what it comes down to.
[00:59:54]  He didn't see any value in taking it to the next level because more than likely she's only good for sex.
[01:00:03]  And to be honest with you guys, this is where most women actually fall.
[01:00:07]  This is actually where a majority of Western women fall.
[01:00:13]  Good for sex and not much more else.
[01:00:17]  Which is why he doesn't want to commit.
[01:00:18]  She's lucky he's at least being honest.
[01:00:20]  Like, he could have just been like, oh, yeah, uh, yeah, let me wife you.
[01:00:24]  And then, like, you know, go and see other girls on the side, like this nigga Clay Thompson.
[01:00:29]  Right?
[01:00:29]  Which we'll talk about that here in a second, too.
[01:00:32]  But the problem here is that most Western women, right, are just not good long term girlfriends.
[01:00:44]  This nigga, Ken Nelchi says, Mine stops him, bro.
[01:00:46]  Are you stupid, dude?
[01:00:47]  Get the fuck out of my chat, nigga.
[01:00:48]  Time to send you to the shadow realm.
[01:00:51]  The future is mine.
[01:00:55]  Fucking retard, dude.
[01:00:58]  Dude, I'm not.
[01:00:59]  Today's not the day, bro.
[01:01:00]  Today's not the day.
[01:01:02]  Today's not the day.
[01:01:03]  All right, buddy.
[01:01:05]  My camera's already fucking pissing me off right now.
[01:01:07]  Like, today's not the fucking day, bro.
[01:01:12]  Stupid ass niggas are definitely gonna get sent to the fucking shadow realm immediately.
[01:01:16]  Don't have the fucking patience for retardation today.
[01:01:18]  It was something you motherfuckers.
[01:01:20]  Stupid nigga from the YouTube chat.
[01:01:21]  Get the fuck out of here.
[01:01:23]  Anyway.
[01:01:25]  So, most of these Western women don't have what I call girlfriend game, or they don't have girl game.
[01:01:31]  Girl game, guys, is the ability to keep your guy around.
[01:01:34]  Okay.
[01:01:36]  That's what girl game is.
[01:01:37]  Girl game is supposed to be the ability to retain your man.
[01:01:42]  Okay.
[01:01:43]  And unfortunately, most women do not have this skill set because in Western society, okay, we tell women to do things to not keep their man.
[01:01:52]  We tell them to focus on work.
[01:01:54]  We tell them to challenge their guy.
[01:01:56]  We tell them to act like a guy.
[01:01:57]  We tell them to basically, you know, we tell them, you know, that it's okay for them to act like a guy and that men should accept it.
[01:02:09]  So, what ends up happening?
[01:02:11]  Watermelon Rump, thank you very much for the gifted.
[01:02:14]  For all you Brokies in the Kick Chats, I put the fries in the bag and somebody might go ahead and hook you up.

=== Western Society And Relationships (15:42) ===

[01:02:22]  Ardia, thank you so much for the 88.
[01:02:24]  Thank you so much for the gifted, for the five gifted.
[01:02:28]  All you frying the bag motherfuckers, hit them up.
[01:02:33]  So, anyway, this is something that is a problem in the West with women where they don't understand.
[01:02:41]  That it's their job to get their guy to commit.
[01:02:44]  It's their job to be so valuable that the man can't see not being with them or wiping them up.
[01:02:51]  And a lot of women don't know this and don't understand this.
[01:02:54]  And thank you, Ludwig SS422.
[01:02:58]  So they just end up getting left.
[01:02:59]  They ended up where guys don't want to commit to them.
[01:03:02]  They end up where guys just only use them for sex.
[01:03:03]  They end up as booty calls only, et cetera.
[01:03:09]  Thank you, Young Dolphin.
[01:03:10]  And thank you, Ardea88 again.
[01:03:13]  Well, let's go ahead and see what she says here.
[01:03:14]  Let's see the epic cope that she's probably going to come up with.
[01:03:17]  You know, like all of those things.
[01:03:19]  Anyway, so.
[01:03:20]  We painfully finished the next three miles with him just like, you know, I just tuned it out, but I just let him regurgitate whatever he wanted to get out.
[01:03:31]  I was just like, one track mind.
[01:03:33]  I'm like, get home, get back to safety.
[01:03:37]  And I'm telling him, get back to safety.
[01:03:39]  Bitch, he's not going to do nothing to you.
[01:03:43]  Maddie P with the 10 gifted, thank you very much.
[01:03:44]  And our DA88, thank you for the gifted twice.
[01:03:47]  Shout out to you, Ninjas.
[01:03:50]  Thank you.
[01:03:51]  Thank you very much, man.
[01:03:53]  Maddie P with another with the 10.
[01:03:57]  Shout out to you, my friend.
[01:03:58]  My dog, like, giddy up.
[01:04:01]  And he's just telling me all the reasons why he's like trying to find himself.
[01:04:05]  He's like, he thinks he needs to like date more people.
[01:04:09]  Well, first, he said the one thing I recall that I was like, he said, I think I need to be away from you to realize that I want to be with you.
[01:04:21]  He shouldn't have said that, but at this point, he was probably just trying to, he probably noticed that she was being uncomfortable.
[01:04:26]  And like that, she didn't want to be like there with anymore.
[01:04:28]  So he just started to like try to repair it and make her feel better.
[01:04:32]  I was like, he said he needs to, he said he'll know he'll miss me when he's away from me and gone.
[01:04:43]  So he needs to, to feel.
[01:04:45]  Yeah, she just didn't add enough value, bro.
[01:04:47]  Is that simple?
[01:04:48]  Like she probably has like a bunch of annoying ass habits.
[01:04:52]  Whether it's she talks too much, she doesn't do acts of service, she's annoying.
[01:04:56]  Like she just like there, I get like, is that simple, dude?
[01:05:00]  If you guys were dating for months and he doesn't want to take it to the next level, you didn't do a good job of portraying yourself as a good girlfriend.
[01:05:08]  It's that simple, dude.
[01:05:10]  And I already know why.
[01:05:10]  This girl is a TV anchor or whatever.
[01:05:12]  So I already know she wasn't cleaning and doing nothing, bro.
[01:05:15]  And I'll keep it a thousand with you guys.
[01:05:16]  White girls, a lot of times, are fucking useless if we're going to be honest.
[01:05:21]  I'll keep it a thousand with you guys, bro.
[01:05:23]  I'll keep it all the way above with you guys.
[01:05:25]  Like, unless she comes from a super conservative household, most white women aren't going to cook for you.
[01:05:31]  They're not going to clean for you.
[01:05:31]  They're not going to do laundry.
[01:05:32]  They're going to do none of that bullshit, bro.
[01:05:34]  You're gonna have to fucking tell them.
[01:05:36]  And that in itself is annoying.
[01:05:39]  Like, white women, bro, like, especially when they go to college and shit like that, like, they tend to be some of the worst long term girlfriends, especially if they're college educated.
[01:05:52]  Because they don't think that they have to do anything for you as a woman.
[01:05:55]  They think, like, them working and, like, making money is like them contributing, not realizing that shit doesn't banner at all.
[01:06:04]  So.
[01:06:06]  I'll keep it a bug with you guys.
[01:06:07]  Now, is this all white girls?
[01:06:09]  Of course not.
[01:06:10]  But what I've realized with a lot of them is a lot of them tend to be useless.
[01:06:13]  RDA88, thank you very much.
[01:06:14]  Bezuma, thank you so much.
[01:06:15]  Ski33020320, thank you so much.
[01:06:22]  Typically, guys, keep it a thousand with y'all again.
[01:06:24]  The more educated they are and the more money they make, the more useless they are going to be as a girlfriend for you, okay?
[01:06:30]  It's that simple, bro.
[01:06:33]  The more educated and the more money they make, The more useless they're gonna be.
[01:06:38]  They're not gonna go ahead and do the things they're supposed to do as a girlfriend.
[01:06:41]  They're gonna be less submissive.
[01:06:43]  They're not gonna cook.
[01:06:44]  They're not gonna clean.
[01:06:46]  They're gonna not do laundry, none of that shit.
[01:06:48]  They're gonna, if anything, they might hire other people to do it, but they're definitely not gonna do it.
[01:06:53]  Right?
[01:06:54]  Which, in that case, why the fuck do you have her?
[01:06:56]  You know what I mean?
[01:06:56]  Like, what the fuck?
[01:06:59]  You know?
[01:07:01]  They're gonna wanna be able to have their girls' nights.
[01:07:02]  They're gonna wanna be able to, you know, do what they do.
[01:07:06]  Right?
[01:07:07]  You're gonna have to, like, really coach a lot of them.
[01:07:11]  And I'll be honest with y'all, like, you're probably not gonna wanna coach girls like that.
[01:07:15]  You know?
[01:07:17]  Like, there's some girls that just aren't coachable, or there's some girls that aren't worth it.
[01:07:20]  Like, Are there some girls that, like, you know, you could go ahead and take the time and coach them and make them a better girlfriend and everything?
[01:07:26]  Of course, right?
[01:07:26]  If I think she, look, if I think she's like younger and she's worth it, right?
[01:07:31]  Let's say she's like 20.
[01:07:33]  Okay, then it might be worth it to coach her, right?
[01:07:36]  She doesn't have that many bad habits.
[01:07:38]  You know, if she comes from like a good family, she's not a 304 or whatever, cool.
[01:07:41]  Then yeah, coach her.
[01:07:42]  Teach her what you need her to do, et cetera.
[01:07:44]  That's fine.
[01:07:45]  But dude, 28, 29, 30, 30 plus, you know, she has a job, you know, she has a career.
[01:07:53]  Like, you're not going to change her, dude.
[01:07:55]  You're not going to change her.
[01:07:58]  You know, you're just not going to change her, unfortunately.
[01:08:01]  They're stuck in their ways.
[01:08:02]  They're stuck in doing what they do.
[01:08:05]  They're stuck with the feminist propaganda, right?
[01:08:09]  And that's it.
[01:08:12]  It doesn't make sense for them to change, you know?
[01:08:16]  So you're better off just getting another girl or finding a girl that's younger, that comes from a better background, or a girl that's just going to be more naturally submissive.
[01:08:24]  But yeah, most college.
[01:08:29]  Most college educated white women are going to be useless girlfriends.
[01:08:32]  I'll give it a thousand y'all.
[01:08:34]  They're just not.
[01:08:36]  If she comes from a good family and she's young, you can, you know, coach her.
[01:08:41]  But a lot of them, they just don't grow up with certain values.
[01:08:46]  It is what it is.
[01:08:47]  Nobody's going to tell y'all that, but I will.
[01:08:49]  A lot of them just don't grow up with certain values.
[01:08:52]  They're indoctrinated by the fucking feminism worse than other groups of girls.
[01:08:57]  Figure that out and feel that feeling first.
[01:09:00]  And I was like, sir.
[01:09:03]  You nuts.
[01:09:04]  So we finally crawl back to my location, and this chicken nugget is like, Yeah, so I can like stay in your guest room though.
[01:09:15]  Like, it's late.
[01:09:16]  I'll drive back tomorrow.
[01:09:18]  I was like, That's super amazing that you thought that.
[01:09:23]  There's the door.
[01:09:24]  Don't let it hit you.
[01:09:25]  Well, maybe let it hit you on the way out.
[01:09:28]  Sk-daddle.
[01:09:30]  And long story short, he was just Shocked that I didn't want him to just, you know, tent up and, you know, stay the night.
[01:09:41]  And I mean, these men, these 30 something guys, just, I think they're just homeless.
[01:09:46]  I don't know.
[01:09:46]  They just want to, like, stay at these women's houses that they meet on these apps.
[01:09:50]  I don't know.
[01:09:51]  I mean, I met.
[01:09:52]  Bitch, you were dating her for months.
[01:09:54]  See, now she's mad that, like, you didn't want to, like, take her seriously.
[01:09:57]  Now she's, like, all fucking butthurt and shit.
[01:09:58]  And it's like, dude, like, you were seeing him for months.
[01:10:04]  You guys were staying at each other's houses already.
[01:10:05]  This isn't something out of the ordinary.
[01:10:07]  It's just that she's mad.
[01:10:08]  That he didn't want to commit to her.
[01:10:10]  And like I said before, he didn't want to commit to her.
[01:10:12]  I guarantee you, she has bad fucking habits.
[01:10:14]  I guarantee she talks a lot.
[01:10:16]  I guarantee you, she doesn't obey.
[01:10:17]  I guarantee you, she's not submissive.
[01:10:19]  I guarantee you, she thinks her opinion matters, right?
[01:10:22]  She comes from an industry where, you know, she's on TV all the time, right?
[01:10:27]  She probably has bad habits.
[01:10:28]  Like she still goes out with her friends, probably still parties, probably still hangs out with her male counterparts, right?
[01:10:36]  These are all things that men don't like.
[01:10:39]  And that's why he's like, you know what?
[01:10:41]  I'll keep seeing her.
[01:10:42]  I'll keep hooking up with her, but I'm not going to wife this girl.
[01:10:44]  And she thought that she was worthy of being wiped up.
[01:10:48]  And now she's getting the reality check like, no.
[01:10:50]  And she's pissed off about it.
[01:10:51]  She doesn't like it at all, which is kind of funny.
[01:10:55]  But, you know, it is what it is, I guess, with a lot of these women.
[01:11:01]  And I told you guys before women don't take L's very well.
[01:11:04]  They really don't, dude.
[01:11:06]  Women do not take L's very well at all.
[01:11:09]  On Instagram, red flag.
[01:11:12]  I'll do that again.
[01:11:13]  But, yeah.
[01:11:14]  What did she say?
[01:11:15]  She met him on Instagram?
[01:11:16]  30 something guys just, I think they're just homeless.
[01:11:19]  I don't know.
[01:11:20]  No, you just are a shitty girlfriend, dude.
[01:11:22]  They didn't want to commit to you.
[01:11:24]  That's even more proof that he didn't want, like, that she was a shitty girlfriend.
[01:11:27]  He's in his 30s, bro.
[01:11:29]  Like, he's not even thinking about fucking with her.
[01:11:31]  Like, stay at these women's houses that they meet on these apps?
[01:11:35]  I don't know.
[01:11:35]  I mean, I met him on Instagram.
[01:11:39]  I'll do that again.
[01:11:42]  But yeah, I just look back at that and I'm like, I pride myself in being able to.
[01:11:50]  See these things, I would think in advance or like miles away, but even the best get got, you know.
[01:11:57]  I mean, dang.

[01:22:22]  I mean, I'll take it a step further.
[01:22:23]  Yo, you're really not going to change her.
[01:22:26]  25 plus, bro.
[01:22:26]  It's going to be very tough to change a girl and get bad habits out of her, bro.
[01:22:31]  25 plus, it's going to be very hard to get her to change.
[01:22:35]  Winter Wolf says, time to cut YouTube, Myron.
[01:22:37]  Bro, some of us just have to put the cape on, unfortunately.
[01:22:42]  Hope plus me equal home.
[01:22:43]  Hello, Mayo.
[01:22:44]  I'm joking.
[01:22:44]  Yeah, that'll ruin your life.
[01:22:46]  Fry pickle.
[01:22:46]  Most consistent, most diversified, most dedicated W all around.
[01:22:48]  Appreciate you, Fry pickle.
[01:22:51]  If you're about to take off on an airplane and the guy next to you says, I'm heading to a conference to discuss the cure to cancer, what are you doing?
[01:23:00]  I guess you get off the plane.
[01:23:02]  Dem Revere.
[01:23:05]  Bro, you got to tell me what's in these links, bro.
[01:23:06]  You can't just send me random links.
[01:23:08]  You got to tell me what's in there.
[01:23:10]  Okay.
[01:23:12]  React to TX and Yara.
[01:23:14]  Sack over the red pill minute of the stream.
[01:23:17]  It's pathetic as hell.
[01:23:18]  TX is a pretty well known artist in South Africa, and Yara is an OF thought streamer.
[01:23:23]  So he bought her a 50K Rolex and a chain without even knowing her, expecting some play from that, and just snowballs into such a pathetic situation.
[01:23:29]  Okay.
[01:23:30]  I've never heard of these individuals ever in my life.
[01:23:33]  If we have time, maybe.
[01:23:35]  I just left my girlfriend of six years because she wouldn't stop the verbal abuse and toxic behavior.
[01:23:41]  Took me so long to notice the red flags, dude.
[01:23:44]  I'm only 26.
[01:23:45]  Shit hurts like a bitch.
[01:23:46]  Well, stop being a bitch because you sound like one right now.
[01:23:48]  You're 26, and I go, grab your nuts, stop being a fucking pussy.
[01:23:51]  It's a female, dude.
[01:23:53]  You're in pain over a girl that fucking doesn't even know what she wants to eat for lunch?
[01:23:58]  Like, you just said she was abusing you in toxic behavior.
[01:24:00]  Stop being a bitch.
[01:24:01]  Like, come on, man.
[01:24:03]  Sack up, dude.
[01:24:04]  Sack up.
[01:24:07]  Nigga's name is Why You Mad, but he's crying over a bitch.
[01:24:09]  Come on, nigga.
[01:24:09]  What's wrong with you?
[01:24:10]  You're a fucking man.
[01:24:12]  Stop being a fucking loser.
[01:24:14]  Oh, you still sucks.
[01:24:14]  Hey, Myron, whose chin is bigger, hers or the crimson chin?
[01:24:22]  I saw this on social media.
[01:24:23]  Why in the hell would they self sabotage themselves over a celebrity breakup?
[01:24:27]  Low IQ behavior.
[01:24:29]  This is shit and bricks.
[01:24:31]  Hey, bro, it looks like you need to wipe off the main camera lens.
[01:24:35]  I tried.
[01:24:36]  I don't think that's doing anything.
[01:24:38]  Hey, uh,.
[01:24:40]  Brent, or no, sorry.
[01:24:42]  Clifton says, uh, Martin, I think that the women have declared war on men for Meg Thee Stallion.
[01:24:47]  They're doing a cheat first campaign on Clay for doing her wrong.
[01:24:50]  So, women in relationships will cheat on their men.
[01:24:53]  How's that gonna help anything?
[01:24:56]  Just like, how's that gonna help anything?
[01:24:58]  Right?
[01:24:58]  This is what I mean when I say women are retarded, bro.
[01:25:00]  Like, this is literally what I mean.
[01:25:01]  Like, fucking stupid.
[01:25:06]  How's that gonna help anybody that is so fucking retarded?
[01:25:12]  I'm just curious, why is UAE leaving OPEC not important?
[01:25:16]  It's not that it's not important, it's just like, no, I'm not going to put it in the title, dude.
[01:25:20]  Like, fried pickle, you got to not be a retard for two seconds.
[01:25:25]  Most Americans don't know what OPEC is, okay?
[01:25:28]  And it's not that big of a story in the beginning.
[01:25:30]  So, putting that in the title would be retarded, okay?
[01:25:34]  Most people don't even know where the UAE is.
[01:25:36]  They know about Dubai, but they don't even know Dubai is in the UAE, okay?
[01:25:39]  You got to use titles that are intelligent and engaging.
[01:25:43]  So that's why I'm saying you're retarded for saying I should have made that in the title.
[01:25:47]  Okay.
[01:25:49]  How many celebrities do you and Fresh know watch Fresh and Fit?
[01:25:52]  A bunch do.
[01:25:54]  Clay once said she asked for 700K a month for monthly upkeep.
[01:25:57]  He knew it was over.
[01:25:58]  Yeah, fuck out of here.
[01:25:59]  She's 700K a month for upkeep?
[01:26:01]  Yeah, that's retarded.
[01:26:04]  Why would Clay want to even date Megan Assange in the first place?
[01:26:06]  He's stupid.
[01:26:07]  But he figured it out, though, that was a mistake.
[01:26:12]  And here's another thing, too, bro.
[01:26:13]  Like, look, let me show y'all, man.
[01:26:14]  Dating thoughts will ruin your life, bro.
[01:26:17]  Look at this guy.
[01:26:19]  This nigga, Stefan Diggs, had to learn the hard way too.
[01:26:22]  He goes, Falling in love with a whore with three kids brought bad luck to my life, business, endorsements, and partners, stay in my status.
[01:26:32]  Now, 100 plus big deals are stepping back because of my record dating a married woman with kids.
[01:26:37]  You know what I mean?
[01:26:37]  Like, bro, niggas are getting cooked.
[01:26:40]  You know?
[01:26:41]  And all I said was, Yo, whores will ruin your life.
[01:26:45]  And he goes, Stefan Diggs went off on his Instagram story last night.
[01:26:48]  Straight up said dating Cardi B was the worst mistake of his life.
[01:26:50]  Duke claims it brought nothing but bad luck.
[01:26:52]  His businesses tanked.
[01:26:53]  Partners dropped him left and right because they couldn't mess with somebody linked to a chick with that rep three kid.
[01:26:58]  Still tied to offset zero good clout in the game.
[01:27:01]  Said he doesn't know how he felt for her, but everything went downhill after the breakup.
[01:27:05]  Well, the other thing, too, is that she probably blackballed him.
[01:27:09]  Okay.
[01:27:09]  She probably blackballed him with some of these companies.
[01:27:11]  Unfortunately, a lot of normies love Cardi B.
[01:27:15]  So he probably got blackballed as well.
[01:27:17]  You know, Unfortunately.
[01:27:21]  But yeah, 304s will fuck your shit up, dude.
[01:27:24]  They absolutely will.
[01:27:29]  Nigga said, thought it was relevant for a show that speculates on prices daily.
[01:27:34]  Yo, Fried Pickle, are you stupid, dude?
[01:27:36]  I'm starting to think you're a retard.
[01:27:38]  You even said to yourself that we're diversified.
[01:27:44]  Yo, OSS chat, man.
[01:27:46]  Deal with this nigga, bro.
[01:27:47]  Nigga, retarded, bro.
[01:27:49]  Oh my God, man.
[01:27:52]  Oh my god, dude.
[01:27:55]  Like, it's actually incredible sometimes, like, how people just don't fucking get it, man.
[01:28:24]  Yeah, like, you got to fucking, you know, you got to give people.
[01:28:30]  You gotta, you gotta, we give tough love on OSS, bro.
[01:28:34]  We give tough love on OSS.
[01:28:36]  Like, nigga, like, use your brain, dude.
[01:28:39]  Use your brain.
[01:28:40]  Dude literally said, oh, well, I thought that'd be a good title for someone that talks about oil prices.
[01:28:44]  Nigga, the oil prices are in relation to the war, you dumb fuck.
[01:28:49]  When I talk about the oil prices, it's in relation to the conflict to show that we're losing the conflict.
[01:28:55]  Because other idiots try to sit there and say, oh, this war is a W.
[01:28:58]  So I have to show the oil prices to show that we're not winning this conflict and that Americans are losing.
[01:29:03]  That is the relevance of showing Brent Crude, you dumbass.
[01:29:10]  Like, bro, come on, dude.
[01:29:12]  Like, you can't be this dumb.
[01:29:14]  You can't be this dumb.
[01:29:15]  You're in the OSS, so I'm going to bully the fuck out of you.
[01:29:17]  I'm going to bully the fuck out of you for being a retard.
[01:29:19]  You cannot be this stupid, dude.
[01:29:21]  You cannot be this stupid and be in my community, bro.
[01:29:23]  Like, nigga, you're retarded.
[01:29:28]  I gotta give you the fucking, you know, the tough love that clearly an older brother didn't give you.
[01:29:33]  You're fucking retarded.
[01:29:35]  Holy shit.
[01:29:36]  Fried pickle should be fried brain.
[01:29:39]  Oh, now it's a title comment with sarcasm, bro.
[01:29:41]  Okay, nigga.
[01:29:42]  Okay, bro.
[01:29:43]  You sent it in on a super chat.
[01:29:44]  Get out of here.
[01:29:45]  Now it's sarcasm.
[01:29:46]  Shut up.
[01:29:48]  RD88, thanks for the 10 gifted.
[01:29:50]  Garabasso, thank you for the 25.
[01:29:54]  Nigga trying to say sarcasm now.
[01:29:56]  Okay, bro.
[01:29:58]  Okay.
[01:29:59]  Okay.
[01:30:00]  Yo, it's sarcasm, bro.
[01:30:03]  Yo, it's sarcasm, nigga.
[01:30:04]  I swear, bro, I'm not that retarded.
[01:30:09]  Nigga started getting cooked.
[01:30:10]  He had to say, oh, nah, chill, man.
[01:30:16]  Speedy says, what's your thoughts on female coaches training men in the gym?
[01:30:19]  I think it's an L because women can't push men to the max.
[01:30:21]  Yeah, hell no.
[01:30:22]  If you got a female coach, you're a bitch.
[01:30:24]  Why y'all don't do con anymore?
[01:30:26]  I want to debate you in fresh.
[01:30:28]  Nigga, you're a nobody.
[01:30:28]  Shut the fuck up.
[01:30:29]  Nigga's name is Yo Copra.
[01:30:30]  It should be Yo Retard.
[01:30:31]  Hello, like, boy!
[01:30:32]  Hey, yo, retard.
[01:30:33]  We're not doing fun callers no more, nigga.
[01:30:34]  Shut up.
[01:30:35]  What the fuck?
[01:30:37]  Yo, why don't y'all do callers no more?
[01:30:38]  I want to debate you afresh.
[01:30:40]  Nigga, who are you?
[01:30:41]  Nigga sent it a dollar chat to say that shit.
[01:30:43]  Who the fuck are you, bro?
[01:30:46]  It's like, yo.
[01:30:48]  What the fuck?
[01:30:51]  What the fuck?
[01:30:53]  Nigga's name is Yo Copra.
[01:30:54]  It should be Yo Fucking Retard, okay?
[01:30:56]  That's your new name.
[01:30:59]  Yo Retard.
[01:31:01]  Holy.
[01:31:03]  Hey, Mike, any suggestions on how to get a girl who lives in your house but doesn't want to leave after breaking up with her?
[01:31:17]  You tell her to leave, bro.
[01:31:18]  Nigga, what?
[01:31:21]  You just tell her to leave, bro.
[01:31:27]  Just tell her to leave.
[01:31:28]  Is she on the lease?
[01:31:30]  If she's on the lease, then you cooked yourself, bro.
[01:31:38]  Osky 25.
[01:31:40]  I hope she's not on the lease, bro.
[01:31:44]  If she's on the lease, man, it's going to be a very, very bad time, sir.
[01:31:52]  If she doesn't live in your house, kick her out, bro.
[01:31:56]  Kick her out.
[01:31:56]  Have all her shit packed and then have that shit on the front and change the locks.
[01:32:05]  But make sure she doesn't have a lease or anything and consult with a lawyer.
[01:32:10]  Okay?
[01:32:11]  Definitely do that.
[01:32:12]  Definitely consult with a lawyer, too.
[01:32:17]  Definitely, definitely consult with a lawyer.
[01:32:26]  So, yeah, don't be a retard and fuck your shit up, bro.
[01:32:30]  Not worth it, man.
[01:32:32]  But I'll definitely consult the lawyer because some states, bro, she might have some, she might have like a, um, let's see here.
[01:32:39]  Okay, this nigga right here.
[01:32:40]  Uh, rapist, enjoy the shadow realm once again.
[01:32:42]  Taking out the trash with this guy.
[01:32:46]  Niggas made like a million accounts just to come in here and talk shit.
[01:32:49]  And then this guy, Yo Culprit, enjoy the shadow realm as well.
[01:32:52]  Now your name is from Yo Culprit to Yo Shadow.
[01:32:54]  Time to send you to the shadow realm.
[01:32:57]  The future is mine.
[01:33:01]  Some nigga said rapist is back.
[01:33:02]  No, he ain't.
[01:33:04]  That nigga got sent to the fucking Shao Kahn's realm now.
[01:33:12]  Fucking, that nigga's in Tool World.
[01:33:21]  One Chess says gifting subs on kick is extremely easier on the browser for that one dude who super chatted earlier.
[01:33:28]  Okay, do it on the browser, maybe not on the app.
[01:33:31]  Phoenix30 says, I know it's late, but that 304 from the first video is exactly.
[01:33:35]  Would you say a career woman that is loud and doesn't listen very?
[01:33:39]  Also, she is doing TikToks and is 32 years old.
[01:33:41]  So, yeah.
[01:33:42]  There you go.
[01:33:43]  She's 32 years old.
[01:33:44]  That makes sense.
[01:33:47]  She isn't, but she got nowhere to go.
[01:33:49]  LOL.
[01:33:49]  All right, you bitch ass nigga.
[01:33:50]  Then kick her out.
[01:33:51]  Like, see, come on, man.
[01:33:52]  See, there's always more to the story.
[01:33:55]  There's always more to the story.
[01:33:57]  You can't kick her out.
[01:33:57]  You're just being fucking soft.
[01:34:00]  Send her to the shadow room, nigga.
[01:34:01]  Stop being a bitch.
[01:34:05]  That's why she's disrespecting your monkey ass.
[01:34:11]  Bro, why do we got so many bitch ass niggas in the OSS?
[01:34:13]  Yo, what's wrong with y'all, bro?
[01:34:16]  What the fuck?
[01:34:16]  Why are y'all niggas retarded?
[01:34:18]  Why do we got so many fucking bitch ass niggas in the OSS, bro?
[01:34:24]  When they go over here writing Drake songs, crying over a bitch, another nigga like, yo, my girl disrespect me, but like she live in my house, I don't know what to do.
[01:34:30]  Like, yo, what are y'all doing, man?
[01:34:36]  Stop being pussies, man.
[01:34:40]  What the hell?
[01:34:43]  Nigga literally says, any suggestion how to get a girl lives in your house but doesn't want to leave after breaking out with her?
[01:34:47]  Bro, get her out, nigga.
[01:34:49]  Get her out.
[01:34:52]  Get her out.
[01:34:54]  Just tell her to leave.
[01:34:56]  The only thing I would tell you, though, is make sure that you don't got laws in your state where you can't kick her out.
[01:35:05]  Okay?
[01:35:17]  All right, we're going to bring Cyrus Jensen on very soon, too.
[01:35:38]  But yeah, make sure, just consult with a lawyer, make sure you can kick her out, and then begin the process of kicking her out.
[01:35:44]  Depends on what state you live in.
[01:35:48]  Fried Pickle says, I'm sorry, Marin, I'm black and Jewish.

=== Black Jewish Identity Discussed (05:40) ===

[01:35:51]  I can't help it.
[01:35:52]  Please complete Exodia on me and end it all.
[01:35:57]  You're black and you're Jewish?
[01:36:00]  Hello, monkeys.
[01:36:22]  That explains why you're fucking retarded.
[01:36:25]  Nigga was like half brain.
[01:36:26]  Like, he knew about OPEC, like, oh, this is cool.
[01:36:28]  But then he asked a dumbass question, like, why didn't you title it?
[01:36:31]  Just the stream that.
[01:36:32]  That's a fucking terrible combo, nigga.
[01:36:34]  Damn, you're Drake.
[01:36:36]  So you probably sus.
[01:36:39]  As long as Dix balls out on a Sunday's, I don't care what he does.
[01:36:42]  Bring him back to Boston.
[01:36:43]  Okay, nigga, you watch sports.
[01:36:46]  Hey, Ryan, it's been a week since my Iran debate, and my super liberal university's HR department has expelled me or fired my base Chinese professor.
[01:36:52]  Okay.
[01:36:55]  Goku says, Pussy niggas be gone.
[01:36:57]  Huthi says, Never get a join lease with a woman.
[01:37:01]  I learned the hard way.
[01:37:02]  She can file a police report with a restraining order and you get removed from it.
[01:37:06]  I bought a house to prevent that from happening again.
[01:37:10]  Lishi says, Thank you, Myron, helping a young chink.
[01:37:13]  I got you, bro.
[01:37:16]  We never finished the reparations chimp out on Sean Kelly's channel.
[01:37:20]  What?
[01:37:22]  Oh, I see what you're talking about.
[01:37:25]  Yeah, Osky, do a consult with a lawyer and see if you can kick her out.
[01:37:28]  But it doesn't matter if she got nowhere to go, nigga.
[01:37:30]  If you broke up with her, you broke up with her.
[01:37:31]  I'm assuming you broke up with her because she did some fuck shit.
[01:37:34]  Stop being a bitch.
[01:37:37]  We had to get them all under one shower head.
[01:37:39]  Thank you for joining OSS.
[01:37:41]  Mr. Turvik says, been a while showing love and support.
[01:37:43]  Shout out to the boss gang.
[01:37:44]  You know it, bro.
[01:37:46]  All right, let me get.
[01:37:50]  Let me see if I can get.
[01:38:06]  Let me get my.
[01:38:08]  I'm going to bring Cyrus on here in a second.
[01:38:15]  Opening up Zoom and stuff.
[01:38:19]  Give me one second, Ninjas.
[01:38:24]  We're going to talk about China.
[01:38:26]  All right.
[01:38:28]  We are going to talk about China.
[01:38:42]  Give me one sec, Ninjas.
[01:38:49]  That's my unfocused camera angle.
[01:38:51]  But the good thing is, you guys can see the books in the back, even though I'm not focused.
[01:38:55]  Let's see here.
[01:39:11]  So fucking annoying dude technology always fucking does some fuck shit All right.
[01:39:33]  Once I get him in here, we'll jump in.
[01:39:36]  We'll be out for a little bit.
[01:39:40]  What the fuck?
[01:39:56]  If Stefan Diggs wanted to come on the show, would you let him?
[01:39:58]  I guess.
[01:39:59]  I mean, I don't like interviewing athletes and rappers, bro.
[01:40:03]  They're the fucking worst, man.
[01:40:12]  Owlboy says I don't know how these simp ass niggas deal with disrespectful girlfriends.
[01:40:16]  I'd rather just jerk off than have access to a female who embarrassed me.
[01:40:18]  Yeah, y'all niggas are crazy, bro.
[01:40:20]  Black and female, black and Jewish, he picked the hardest difficulty combo.
[01:40:25]  This clip.
[01:40:26]  This is the clip Chatter mentioned from the Osmogol stream.
[01:40:28]  I edited it just for the stream.
[01:40:31]  It's a proper red pill.
[01:40:34]  Okay, let's see here.
[01:40:34]  All right, we got Cyrus in the house, by the way, too, guys.
[01:40:39]  Let me, I'll react to all that stuff after.
[01:40:41]  We're going to get Cyrus on.
[01:40:44]  Give me one sec, guys.
[01:40:48]  I got to turn my camera off.
[01:40:55]  Bear with me, ninjas.
[01:40:59]  All right, boom.
[01:41:12]  Hey, Cyrus, you there?
[01:41:17]  We're live on air right now, too, by the way.
[01:41:20]  All right.
[01:41:20]  Let's go.
[01:41:21]  You there, bro?
[01:41:22]  I'm here.
[01:41:23]  All right, man.
[01:41:23]  Welcome, man.
[01:41:24]  We're live on air already, so we can just get right into it, man.
[01:41:27]  All right.
[01:41:28]  Can you introduce yourself real quick to the people?
[01:41:30]  Absolutely.

=== Introducing Cyrus Jansen Live (13:49) ===

[01:41:31]  So, my name is Cyrus Jansen.
[01:41:33]  I'm an American that has lived abroad for many years and I run a geopolitical channel on YouTube.
[01:41:39]  Just my name, Cyrus Jansen.
[01:41:40]  Talk all things geopolitics.
[01:41:42]  Heavy focus on China since I lived there for over 10 years.
[01:41:45]  And yeah, just trying to dissect all of the crazy geopolitical stories we got going on in the world every day.
[01:41:50]  Nice.
[01:41:51]  So, you know, and I watched your channel quite a bit, man.
[01:41:54]  I'm glad to have you on the show because I kind of want to let people understand that, like, you know, China's advancing at an alarming rate.
[01:42:03]  They're quickly becoming a very strong superpower.
[01:42:08]  They're catching up, you know, I think we're in a multipolar world now.
[01:42:12]  You know, the days of us being the unipolar, Power, you know, after the Soviet Union collapse in the early 90s and Desert Storm, et cetera.
[01:42:20]  I think those days are kind of behind us here.
[01:42:21]  And I think the Iran war is kind of showing that.
[01:42:24]  I guess what we could do first is we could kind of talk about China as a whole, and then we could kind of segue into their involvement with the conflict and how they're involved in the conflict and stuff like that.
[01:42:32]  But go ahead, take it away.
[01:42:35]  Yeah, I mean, I'm happy to discuss China.
[01:42:38]  I mean, it's a country that I first visited in 2007, had the pleasure of working there for over 10 years, still do a lot of business in China, travel back multiple times a year.
[01:42:46]  My family and I would go back every summer.
[01:42:48]  So we go to the southern city of Guangzhou, spend the summers there with the wife and kids.
[01:42:53]  And yeah, I mean, it's a country that's often misunderstood in Western media, often understood by, I think, many Americans and many Westerners in general.
[01:43:00]  But I think the perception of China is changing.
[01:43:02]  It's changed a lot in the last 18 months with the rise of social media, a lot of content creators going to China.
[01:43:08]  One of the best things that China's government's ever done is about 18 months ago, they started opening up the country, visa free access to a ton of people.
[01:43:16]  So if you're from the United States, Uh, kingdom, for example, Canada is now visa free.
[01:43:20]  United States, you can get a 10 day transit visa.
[01:43:25]  So, basically, yeah, basically, if you let's say you arrive in Beijing, you have to fly out of a different city, but yeah, you can basically get a 240 hour visa.
[01:43:33]  So, that's 10 days you know, you can be in China without a visa.
[01:43:35]  You basically land there, get a transit visa, fly out of another city.
[01:43:39]  So, it's becoming much more accessible, you know, to a lot of people.
[01:43:42]  And actually, interesting fun fact, you know, China is on track to become the number one tourism economy in 2026.
[01:43:49]  You have a tremendous amount of international visitors going there now.
[01:43:52]  Kind of interesting because the United States is hosting the FIFA World Cup this year, the biggest sporting event in the world.
[01:43:57]  But yet, a lot of people aren't coming for that.
[01:44:00]  And FIFA is already canceling hotel rooms because the need for hotels is not as much as they expected it would be.
[01:44:07]  So, kind of an interesting thing.
[01:44:08]  Again, widely misunderstood and happy to answer any questions you got or anything you want to talk specifically about China.
[01:44:15]  Yeah.
[01:44:15]  So, you mentioned that tourism is going up.
[01:44:18]  It's interesting because I know I'm sure you're familiar with the streamer speed.
[01:44:22]  He went ahead and did a stream in China.
[01:44:25]  He did.
[01:44:26]  You know, I think that stream really red pilled a lot of people on China.
[01:44:30]  You know, and they didn't realize, you know, they see what they see in the news and in Western media.
[01:44:35]  And it's like, oh, yeah, China sucks.
[01:44:37]  Nothing works.
[01:44:38]  People are starving.
[01:44:39]  They're very poor.
[01:44:41]  You know, all this propaganda to make it look like they're not keeping up with the United States and our economic power and our military power.
[01:44:48]  But it's quite the contrary.
[01:44:50]  Can you kind of take us through debunking some of the biggest myths when it comes to China?
[01:44:55]  Yeah, absolutely.
[01:44:56]  I mean, some of the ones that you said there, you know, that Chinese people are, you know, they're poor, you know, that maybe the country's not as advanced, you know, that, you know, we tend to have an image of China still remarkably, even here in 2026, we have an image of China that's like stuck in the 1970s or 80s.
[01:45:11]  You know, we think of Chinese people wearing the Chairman Mao suits, you know, driving bicycles around.
[01:45:17]  You know, it's a very agrarian society.
[01:45:19]  There's, you know, a lot of poverty.
[01:45:20]  It's a third world country.
[01:45:21]  It's not advanced.
[01:45:22]  It's not developed.
[01:45:23]  You know, it couldn't be farther from the truth.
[01:45:24]  You know, I mean, you go to any of these, Major cities, you're seeing some of the best infrastructure that you'll find on the planet, whether it's the railway stations, the subway stations, the airports.
[01:45:34]  Incredible.
[01:45:35]  But what's also really awesome is a lot of tourists go to the big ones, Shanghai, Beijing, they go to Xi'an to go see the Terracotta Warriors.
[01:45:42]  What's actually a better story is when you go to the second, third, fourth tier cities and you start to see how much those have improved as well.
[01:45:50]  So some of these cities that you've never heard of, but they have remarkable subway systems, they have incredible high speed rails.
[01:45:57]  The cities are extremely clean.
[01:45:59]  I've been able to witness firsthand a huge transformation in China.
[01:46:03]  I mean, I was on the ground in 2007 when pollution was absolutely rampant.
[01:46:08]  I mean, I'm talking pollution levels where you could be at a red light and not be able to see if it was red or green because the pollution was that thick.
[01:46:17]  It was crazy.
[01:46:18]  And it was, this was the early days of China, 2007, eight, nine.
[01:46:22]  But things started to happen.
[01:46:23]  In 2008, Beijing hosted the Olympics, very successful Summer Olympics.
[01:46:28]  2010, Shanghai hosted the World Expo, which is like the World's Fair, a huge event for Shanghai.
[01:46:33]  They really transformed the city for that event.
[01:46:35]  And you just started to see China make a lot of structural changes.
[01:46:39]  And now they're really leading in a lot of key technologies for the future.
[01:46:44]  There's a really great report by ASPE.
[01:46:46]  ASPE is the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
[01:46:49]  Interesting enough, that institute is funded by the Department of State.
[01:46:52]  So to say that it would be like a China ally, it's certainly not.
[01:46:56]  It's funded by the US government.
[01:46:59]  It generally has a very anti China rhetoric in a lot of its reports.
[01:47:03]  But they came out and they said, okay, there are 64 critical technologies that are going to determine the future of our world.
[01:47:08]  You can just Google this, just put in ASPE, like 64 critical technologies.
[01:47:12]  You can find this report very easily.
[01:47:13]  But basically, China leads in 57 of the 64.
[01:47:17]  And in remarkable, let's say half of those, they have like an insurmountable lead, like an unbelievable lead in this.
[01:47:23]  Even when we're talking about artificial intelligence, we're looking at the research that's being done, the amount of published studies that are being done.
[01:47:30]  China leads all of this.
[01:47:32]  So they have the world's largest amount of STEM graduates at science, technology, engineering, mathematics.
[01:47:38]  So there's just so much more nuance that needs to be discovered there.
[01:47:42]  And when you go there, you have a very advanced life.
[01:47:45]  Basically, everything is run through your phone.
[01:47:48]  There's a mega app called WeChat.
[01:47:49]  You've probably heard of it.
[01:47:51]  But essentially, think of your Uber app, your banking app, your social media.
[01:47:56]  Your entire lifeline is built through one app.
[01:47:59]  So you can pay your electrical bills, you can order.
[01:48:01]  You know, a taxi, you can book your flights, you can invest, you can, you know, connect with your friends, you can share social media posts.
[01:48:08]  Everything's done through WeChat and it's super fast, super efficient.
[01:48:12]  China's basically a cashless society.
[01:48:14]  Everything is, you know, with this digital payment system, everything is super fast, super convenient.
[01:48:20]  And I mean, even things like delivery, you know, you can get things delivered within hours, you know, so it's like Amazon Prime on steroids, you know, as far as how fast China is and how efficient.
[01:48:31]  So, yeah, I mean, there's just a lot more.
[01:48:33]  And I think, you know, what's great, like I mentioned earlier, with so many tourists pouring into China right now, there's a lot of people.
[01:48:39]  I mean, this is trending all over social media.
[01:48:42]  You know, there's a big trend right now on Instagram and TikTok where people are saying, you know, I'm China maxing.
[01:48:47]  You know, I'm entering a very Chinese stage of my life.
[01:48:50]  You know, they're starting to, you know, drink warm beverages.
[01:48:54]  You know, they're, you know, Chinese, for example, don't eat, they don't drink like cold water.
[01:48:57]  They don't drink ice water.
[01:48:59]  Everything is room temperature because it's better for your body.
[01:49:01]  So people are starting to.
[01:49:02]  Oh, okay.
[01:49:02]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:49:03]  So people are like, people are, there's a trend on Instagram right now.
[01:49:06]  Like I'm entering a Chinese phase of my life where I'm drinking tea a lot more.
[01:49:09]  I'm, you know, doing yoga.
[01:49:11]  I'm going for walks.
[01:49:12]  I'm, you know, just, just, you know, connecting with nature and, you know, trying to live this like Chinese style life.
[01:49:17]  So it's, it's kind of, it's been kind of interesting to see, you know, how, the global perception of China is changing.
[01:49:23]  And, you know, at the same time, you know, The United States under Donald Trump, our image is certainly not advancing over the last 12 to 15 months.
[01:49:32]  Polls across the world show that very clearly that the United States, we kind of live in a bubble here in America where the vast majority of Americans don't travel, they don't own passports.
[01:49:42]  So we tend to just be in America.
[01:49:43]  We don't really care what other people think about our country.
[01:49:46]  But for example, I'm also a Canadian citizen.
[01:49:49]  I lived in Canada for many years.
[01:49:50]  My wife, my kids were all dual citizens.
[01:49:53]  And I could tell you very clearly a lot of Canadians are not happy with the United States right now.
[01:49:57]  Definitely not happy with Donald Trump.
[01:50:00]  And you know, there's never been a more patriotic time for Canadians to really embrace their roots because you know, when Donald Trump says, Hey, you guys are the 51st state, you know, we're going to take you over, that is because of the United States, and you know, obviously, that pissed Carney off.
[01:50:14]  I know he just struck a deal with China recently, too.
[01:50:16]  Oh, yeah, a strategic energy deal not too long ago, 100%.
[01:50:20]  So, yeah, um, yeah, okay.
[01:50:22]  So, real quick, because you I got a lot of questions there.
[01:50:24]  So, WeChat, you mentioned that.
[01:50:26]  What about the fear of social credit scores?
[01:50:28]  I saw a video where you know, I saw, but they said there are a bunch of people, Chinese people, around on the streets, living on the streets.
[01:50:34]  You know, homeless because they have a low social credit score.
[01:50:37]  Is that true?
[01:50:38]  Is it not true?
[01:50:39]  What's the deal with that?
[01:50:41]  My man, I gotta be honest that that social credit system is by far the most effective propaganda I've ever heard from the United States government because you know, basically, I just would challenge anybody to ask any single Chinese person, you know, what about the social credit system?
[01:50:56]  They're gonna look at you and say, What are you talking about?
[01:50:59]  We have no idea what you're talking about.
[01:51:01]  This has been completely fabricated.
[01:51:03]  There's absolutely no truth to that.
[01:51:05]  And it's honestly, it's just hilarious, you know, to just see.
[01:51:09]  You know, one is just how effective it is because that's that is like the number one question I get from people.
[01:51:13]  Well, you know, China has this social credit system where, you know, if you don't have a good credit score, like you can't ride a bus, you know, you can't rent an apartment, you can't, you basically are shunned from society.
[01:51:22]  And it's like, yeah, it literally doesn't exist.
[01:51:24]  It's not like the system's there and people are trying to like cover it up.
[01:51:28]  It doesn't exist.
[01:51:29]  It's like a complete fabrication.
[01:51:31]  But it is, it is such an effective propaganda and brainwashing because it is by far the number one question that I get.
[01:51:38]  And it's kind of what most people hear, you know, and they just, and so again, You know, we always kind of look at China as like they're so good at propaganda.
[01:51:45]  I gotta be honest, China's not good at propaganda, they're terrible at it.
[01:51:48]  You know, their propaganda is just so like you know, blatant.
[01:51:51]  You know, it whereas the United States, like, no one does propaganda like the U.S. government.
[01:51:55]  Like, we are massive, we do it pretty good, we do it good.
[01:51:58]  You know, we do it really good.
[01:52:00]  And, and I mean, honestly, the most propagandized people in the world are the Americans, you know, because our government says all these things, you know, and uh, it's just half of it's and most people don't travel.
[01:52:09]  And, like you said before, most Americans I'll be more blunt about it than you.
[01:52:12]  I say most Americans are retards.
[01:52:14]  And the reason why is because they don't travel, they don't go see other countries.
[01:52:17]  A lot of them don't have a passport.
[01:52:18]  They watch Fox News, they believe everything that they see on Fox News.
[01:52:21]  And the whole ideology or concept of, like, hey, look, maybe we need to, you know, do a little bit of diplomacy, or maybe we don't run the world as much as we think we are, or like, you know, we're in a multipolar world.
[01:52:31]  They'll look, they'll scoff at them and be like, no way, you're not, you don't know, no way, you know?
[01:52:34]  Yeah.
[01:52:35]  I mean, and you know, you talk about the multipolar world.
[01:52:37]  I mean, America is strongest when we have great relations with our allies.
[01:52:41]  I mean, who doesn't want to be an ally of the United States?
[01:52:43]  I mean, and this is, You know, for example, all of Europe looks to the United States as the effective leader of the world.
[01:52:49]  You know, they want to make sure that they have good relations with the United States.
[01:52:52]  But honestly, you know, so many European countries are fed up right now with America.
[01:52:55]  They're not happy with the United States, you know, the leadership from Donald Trump.
[01:52:59]  And, you know, they've been very vocal about this.
[01:53:01]  And we've seen this.
[01:53:02]  You know, there's an interesting poll from Politico that came out and they asked residents of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Canada is the fourth one.
[01:53:12]  They basically asked them a simple question, you know, who do you think is a better partner to rely on in the future, China or the United States under Donald Trump?
[01:53:20]  And all Four countries.
[01:53:23]  They all now have said that you have more people actually saying it's better to rely on China for our future than it is the United States under Trump.
[01:53:30]  And so, again, a lot of Americans, I tell that to people and they're like, who cares?
[01:53:33]  I don't care what Canadians think.
[01:53:35]  I don't care what British think.
[01:53:36]  I don't care what the French think.
[01:53:37]  You know, who cares about these people?
[01:53:40]  Well, you know what?
[01:53:41]  Honestly, it's good to have friends.
[01:53:43]  You know, it's good to have allies.
[01:53:45]  And, you know, I think, you know, we've had an amazing relationship with Canada.
[01:53:48]  You can't ask for, you know, a better neighbor than Canada.
[01:53:52]  You know, obviously, they've been a reliable partner.
[01:53:56]  And again, this is a very personal issue for me since I'm a dual citizen.
[01:53:59]  I lived in Vancouver for five years.
[01:54:01]  There's a, you know, the border between Vancouver and the United States, there's a peace arch, you know, symbolizing the friendship between the United States and Canada.
[01:54:08]  And it says, you know, we are separated by a border, but we are brothers.
[01:54:12]  And, you know, let us always remember this amazing relationship that we have.
[01:54:15]  We're two countries, you know, united, and, you know, our friendship should last forever.
[01:54:20]  Something along those lines.
[01:54:21]  It's not a direct quote, but it's, you know, about like that.
[01:54:24]  And then to hear the president just say, you know, We don't even have a border, right?
[01:54:27]  There's some imaginary line drawn.
[01:54:29]  You know, there's no real border between the United States and Canada.
[01:54:32]  Yeah, there is.
[01:54:32]  It's an international border.
[01:54:34]  It's, you know, we have passports.
[01:54:35]  We have different countries.
[01:54:36]  Like, it's a sovereign nation.
[01:54:38]  You know, you just can't be spouting stuff like this.
[01:54:40]  It just makes you sound completely ridiculous.
[01:54:42]  And again, you know, Canadians love America.
[01:54:44]  You know, Canadians follow US politics.
[01:54:46]  They watch TV shows.
[01:54:47]  They, you know, all the sports teams, you know, I mean, you know, all Canadians have a great, you know, passion for the United States.
[01:54:53]  But all of a sudden you disrespect us and you say, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're not a country.
[01:54:56]  You know, we're not sovereign.
[01:54:58]  We're basically Americans.
[01:54:59]  No, we're not Americans.
[01:54:59]  We're Canadians.
[01:55:01]  Again, we love you guys, but got to know your boundaries.
[01:55:04]  And at the end of the day, we are still Canadian.
[01:55:06]  So it's little things like that where, again, a lot of people might think big deal.
[01:55:10]  It is actually a big deal because, again, you want to have those close allies around the world.
[01:55:15]  And that's unfortunately something that's changing very quickly over the last 15 months.

=== China's Renewable Energy Push (11:07) ===

[01:55:21]  So I'll ask another myth.
[01:55:23]  What about the empty cities?
[01:55:25]  The empty cities?
[01:55:26]  What is the deal with that?
[01:55:26]  Apparently, they said that they built all these empty cities, no one lives in them, all empty apartments.
[01:55:32]  What's the deal with that?
[01:55:32]  Yeah.
[01:55:33]  You know, there's a really good YouTube video I would suggest people to watch, and it's by the YouTube channel Yes Theory, and a very big channel, I think 11, 12 million subscribers, something like that.
[01:55:44]  Yes Theory, one word?
[01:55:45]  Yeah, I think so.
[01:55:46]  It might be.
[01:55:47]  But yeah, just type in Yes Theory.
[01:55:49]  They basically went to the city that was built after Paris.
[01:55:53]  So they basically recreated this Parisian city.
[01:55:56]  They have an Eiffel Tower, they have French style buildings, they built this mega city there, and it basically modeled it exactly like.
[01:56:03]  Paris, France.
[01:56:03]  So it's like a carbon copy.
[01:56:05]  You have, you know, it looks exactly like that.
[01:56:07]  And so these guys went there and it's completely dead, right?
[01:56:10]  It's dead.
[01:56:11]  It's there's nobody, there's nothing around.
[01:56:13]  It's like, man, this is really like weird.
[01:56:15]  You know, it's so, so weird.
[01:56:16]  And then all of a sudden they realized, you know, they're shooting it at like a Tuesday at 12 o'clock noon.
[01:56:22]  So, you know, not very busy there.
[01:56:23]  But then as the day got longer and longer, you know, more and more people started to come out and they started to see, you know, children playing in the streets.
[01:56:31]  And they realized they're like, wow, like, look at all these kids around.
[01:56:34]  Like, You know, like where are your parents at?
[01:56:36]  And they're like, oh, like we're just out here playing.
[01:56:38]  You know, that's what we do in China, right?
[01:56:39]  We don't have to worry about safety.
[01:56:40]  You know, it's a very safe country.
[01:56:42]  You know, and so all of a sudden, they, you know, if you watch that video, they kind of come to an end and they're like, you know, we kind of came here hearing this thing that there's these ghost cities and that everything's falling apart.
[01:56:52]  We actually found like, you know, China's amazing, you know, and like this actual city is, you know, actually, you know, obviously we came at like a Tuesday at 12 noon.
[01:56:59]  No, it's not going to be that busy because people are working, they're doing things, you know, but all of a sudden at nighttime, it starts to fill up.
[01:57:05]  A lot of times what China does as well is, you know, they build cities for the future, you know, and so they're going to build, you know, it's almost like the Field of Dreams, you know, that movie where they, you know, build it and they will come.
[01:57:16]  You know, where they were the guy in the movie, he builds a baseball field, and everyone's like, dude, why are you building this random baseball field in Iowa, of all places?
[01:57:22]  And he and so he builds this baseball field, and all of a sudden, everybody comes to play baseball, and you know, you have to build it first.
[01:57:28]  And so, you know, that was a similar thing in China, is where they started building these mega cities, and eventually they start filling up.
[01:57:34]  And you know, I'm not going to say that there's not like every single project is successful, I'm sure there's you know, still some projects that maybe didn't sell out as much, but it's nowhere near what Western media is telling you.
[01:57:46]  And again, you know, one of the things that China does better than probably arguably any other country is really planning for that future.
[01:57:52]  So, you know, if we're going to build these cities, because, you know, usually what they'll do is they'll tie it into an economic reason.
[01:57:57]  For example, you know, we're going to develop this new part of a city, we're going to build all these apartments.
[01:58:02]  And because we're going to start building factories there, we're going to start building, you know, different industries in this area.
[01:58:07]  And obviously, if these new factories come, we're going to have to have places for people to live.
[01:58:11]  And we're basically going to create this new city.
[01:58:13]  And so, yeah, it's, it's again, a little bit of nuance is needed to understand exactly how that works.
[01:58:18]  Okay.
[01:58:19]  I want to talk about a little bit about the energy, China with renewable energy, electric cars, and rare earth metals.
[01:58:25]  I guess we could hit renewable energy first.
[01:58:27]  I know they're number one in the world right now, if I'm not mistaken, for solar panels.
[01:58:31]  Can we talk about that a little bit in their renewable energy mode?
[01:58:34]  I'm sure they're probably a little bit more motivated to do it now with the Strator Homelands being closed as well.
[01:58:39]  Yeah.
[01:58:39]  I mean, actually, you know, I made a video on my YouTube channel talking about like, is China the biggest winner of the Iran war?
[01:58:44]  And, you know, it was an interesting thing because, you know, I want to kind of bring it back to AI first because, you know, we always often hear AI.
[01:58:52]  The battle, the future of AI, it's the United States versus China.
[01:58:57]  And this is an interesting one because both countries have incredible engineers, scientists.
[01:59:03]  Both countries are absolutely leading in AI.
[01:59:07]  If you're looking at AI, it's the United States and China.
[01:59:09]  There's not really any other countries that are as dominant as these two.
[01:59:12]  So it's really kind of like a two man race, if you will.
[01:59:15]  But no matter how many great engineers you have, no matter how many great systems you can build, it comes down to the data centers.
[01:59:22]  Right, it comes down to you know AI needs a tremendous amount of electricity, and this is where China has a strategic advantage for the future.
[01:59:29]  So, there's a really famous graph.
[01:59:31]  Um, you know, if you look at energy production over the last 25 years, you look at the United States, it's relatively flat.
[01:59:39]  Our energy grid in the United States has remained completely flat for 25 years, we've had essentially no growth at all.
[01:59:45]  But China, because 25 years ago it started investing in renewable energy, uh, it started, you know, again, it dominates solar panels.
[01:59:52]  If you do some research on this, actually.
[01:59:54]  Back around the turn of the century, the state of Michigan, actually, believe it or not, was actually one of the most dominant players in solar panel production.
[02:00:03]  At that time, they were around 45% worldwide production coming out of factories in Michigan, believe it or not.
[02:00:09]  So, again, the United States was well positioned, but China was able to produce a better quality product at a better price point and really be able to dominate that market.
[02:00:17]  Now we're shifting to a point where these cells that are used in these solar panels, about 98% are made in China now.
[02:00:24]  And so, again, you know, when we're looking at solar power, a tremendous amount of solar power is being used, you know, throughout China.
[02:00:32]  We're looking at wind turbines, we're looking at hydroelectric dams.
[02:00:36]  There's a really fun fact.
[02:00:37]  China just started construction on the world's biggest hydro dam that's going to be in the mountains of Tibet.
[02:00:44]  Upon completion, that one project alone in Tibet will generate as much power as the entire United Kingdom annually.
[02:00:53]  So you just think, wow.
[02:00:54]  Yeah.
[02:00:54]  So you think about like, they're freaking out right now.
[02:00:57]  They're freaking out right now with energy as we speak because of the Strait of Hermos.
[02:01:00]  They had to, you know, subsidize energy prices.
[02:01:03]  The government's going to be subsidizing it.
[02:01:04]  But Kier Starmer did like a whole press conference a month ago on this.
[02:01:07]  But sorry, continue on.
[02:01:08]  Sorry.
[02:01:09]  No, no.
[02:01:09]  So, I mean, it's just interesting because, you know, obviously, you know, you look at the amount of electricity that China's already producing.
[02:01:16]  Well, by the time that this dam gets completed, you're now going to add in an entire United Kingdom's worth of electricity, you know, to the existing grid.
[02:01:23]  And that's where China is really positioning itself for the future.
[02:01:26]  And again, I think when you're looking at the AI race, United States, you know, we have to do something about this electrical grid.
[02:01:32]  You know, I don't know where everybody's at and where everybody's, you know, with their power bills, but, you know, our electricity bills are going higher every single year.
[02:01:39]  Compared to what we used to pay five, 10 years ago.
[02:01:42]  And it's going to continue to increase because there's just more demand, right?
[02:01:45]  We have more people here.
[02:01:46]  We have more electricity demand.
[02:01:48]  You look at these massive Googles and Meta's who are building data centers.
[02:01:53]  I mean, it's a huge, huge strain, I should say, on these electrical grids.
[02:02:01]  And that's going to be a major story in the United States over the next 10 to 15 years.
[02:02:06]  And I mean, again, China is certainly impacted by the Strait of Hormuz.
[02:02:11]  But that being said, they're very good in diversifying.
[02:02:14]  So actually, a lot of people think, oh, okay, China buys 90% of Iran's oil.
[02:02:18]  Yeah, they buy 90% of Iran's oil, but Iran's oil only makes up around 10% of their oil imports.
[02:02:24]  So yeah, they're Iran's number one customer, but it's not like they depend on Iran for that oil.
[02:02:30]  They have great relations with many other countries.
[02:02:33]  And you buy oil from the United States, for example.
[02:02:36]  Who do they buy the most oil from for China?
[02:02:39]  Russia.
[02:02:40]  Russia by far?
[02:02:40]  Okay.
[02:02:42]  How much?
[02:02:43]  22%.
[02:02:44]  22% somewhere around that?
[02:02:45]  22 to 25%.
[02:02:46]  Okay.
[02:02:47]  Okay.
[02:02:48]  Sorry.
[02:02:49]  So you were saying more about the renewable energy?
[02:02:51]  Yeah.
[02:02:51]  So, I mean, going back to that story I mentioned earlier when it was electric cars, you know, electric cars, you know, on the road.
[02:02:58]  I mean, this is a big story of why pollution actually, you know, was being able to be reduced.
[02:03:04]  You know, again, back in 2007, when I first arrived in China, every single car on the road, you know, it's an automobile, it's a gas powered car.
[02:03:11]  But now in China, 60% of the cars on the road are electric vehicles.
[02:03:15]  They dominate that market.
[02:03:16]  And that's a big part of the story of why pollution has decreased, why there's so much trust in this EV sector.
[02:03:22]  I mean, if you've never ridden in a Chinese EV, they're some of the most incredible cars.
[02:03:27]  I mean, there's a reason why they don't sell them here.
[02:03:29]  I was going to say there's a reason why they don't sell those electric vehicles here.
[02:03:32]  And what's something like 30 to 40% of their vehicles now are electric, if I'm not mistaken?
[02:03:37]  60%.
[02:03:38]  60% of the cars on the road in China right now are EVs.
[02:03:41]  You go to major cities like Shenzhen, which is in the south, Shenzhen is like the Silicon Valley of China.
[02:03:46]  Their entire bus fleet in this mega city of 25 million people, every bus in that city is electric.
[02:03:52]  There's not a single gas powered bus in the city.
[02:03:55]  All of it's electric.
[02:03:57]  If our guests here are interested in seeing the Chinese EVs, great guy on TikTok.
[02:04:02]  His name is Forrest.
[02:04:03]  Someone who just said they catch on fire a lot.
[02:04:05]  They're hating.
[02:04:05]  Guys, if you guys got a question on China, by the way, get them in right now.
[02:04:09]  OSS guys, especially, get your questions in because obviously this is Cyrus' wheelhouse.
[02:04:13]  So if you guys got questions on China, please go ahead.
[02:04:16]  And get them in now while you guys can.
[02:04:18]  But sorry, go ahead.
[02:04:18]  So, yeah, they were talking smack saying that the cars catch on fire a lot.
[02:04:22]  But, yeah.
[02:04:23]  Yeah, I mean, you know, again, we live in the social media world where, you know, we see a car catch on fire and it's like, oh, man, all of the Chinese EVs are terrible.
[02:04:31]  The quality is bad.
[02:04:32]  I mean, gosh, I mean, how many cars in America catch on fire?
[02:04:35]  It happens.
[02:04:36]  You know, I mean, it's not an anomaly.
[02:04:38]  It's not like it's only happening in China, you know, but it's a similar thing.
[02:04:42]  I mean, we go back to this.
[02:04:43]  You know, let's go back to COVID 2020.
[02:04:46]  You know, there was a video that went viral where, you know, in some local village, you know, people were asking everybody to stay inside.
[02:04:53]  And so what they did, what one of these local guys did, is he literally welded the door shut so that the people would stay in there.
[02:04:59]  So all of a sudden, you know, I hear this comment all the time oh, China's a terrible country.
[02:05:03]  You know, during COVID, they welded everybody's door shut.
[02:05:05]  You know, and you know, forced everybody to stay inside.
[02:05:08]  Okay, you've seen one video.
[02:05:10]  Do you think that this is how 1.4 billion people are living in China?
[02:05:13]  You think everybody's door's been welded shut?
[02:05:16]  And again, I'm not trying to say that was right.
[02:05:17]  I mean, obviously, it's a wrong decision to weld somebody's door, you know, to keep them inside during the COVID lockdown.
[02:05:23]  You know, but there's also, you know, some context there as well.
[02:05:26]  You know, this is not like this, it's not like a policy came out from Beijing.
[02:05:29]  Hey, we must now weld all the doors shut and make sure that every single person in China stays indoors.
[02:05:34]  You know, you know, again, But you listen to some of these anti China YouTubers, they'll totally take this and just blow it out of proportion and be like, this is why China is so evil.
[02:05:45]  China's welding the door shut.
[02:05:47]  Everyone's locked down.
[02:05:48]  There's oppression.
[02:05:49]  There's no freedom.
[02:05:51]  There's many cities in China that actually during the pandemic, they weren't really that affected by COVID.
[02:05:56]  There were many cities.
[02:05:57]  It was kind of a case by case study.
[02:05:59]  And so many cities were actually open during there.
[02:06:02]  If you went out to Western China, out in some cities like that, living normal lives.
[02:06:07]  I mean, I talked to many people over there that were like, yeah, COVID hasn't been too bad over here.
[02:06:11]  You know, obviously, bigger cities like Shanghai, you know, pretty tough.
[02:06:13]  They had a brutal lockdown in Shanghai.
[02:06:16]  So, again, it's very dependent on where you are.
[02:06:18]  And I think the biggest thing I want people to understand is you have to have a lot of nuance, you know, when you're looking at China, because the story that Western media is going to tell you, it's definitely not the truth.

=== Nike Supply Chain Secrets (11:40) ===

[02:06:29]  China's not perfect.
[02:06:29]  I mean, it certainly has its problems.
[02:06:31]  It's certainly, I mean, right now, I mean, let's be honest, the economy right now is not strong in China.
[02:06:36]  The real estate market is correcting severely.
[02:06:38]  You know, a lot of correction there.
[02:06:40]  Youth unemployment, Significantly high right now, close to like 20% in China, which is a very tough metric for the younger generation.
[02:06:48]  So it's not all peaches.
[02:06:49]  It's not all roses and rainbows over there in China.
[02:06:52]  I mean, they've had their problems.
[02:06:54]  They have their problems that they're continuing to deal with.
[02:06:56]  But I mean, name me a country that doesn't have problems that we're not trying to solve and go through right now.
[02:07:02]  I mean, you look at the rising cost of living here in the United States, it's astronomical.
[02:07:07]  I mean, it's remarkable how much prices have increased across the board.
[02:07:11]  I mean, no matter where you are in the United States, when you talk about daily living and You know, just compare that to five years ago, you know, what the prices were.
[02:07:19]  So, rare earth metals.
[02:07:21]  This is something that's really important.
[02:07:23]  Obviously, this is why Trump wanted to take Greenland.
[02:07:25]  Yeah.
[02:07:26]  Right.
[02:07:27]  You know, you look at like, I know one of the main ones that the U.S. government is really interested in was like dysprosium, which, you know, for the viewers here, I know you know what it means, what it is, but, you know, obviously it's a magnet that, you know, allows you to still operate in very high temperatures.
[02:07:41]  China manufactures or has what, 90% of the market share, if I'm not mistaken, on rare earth metals.
[02:07:47]  Can you talk about that a little bit and why that's so important and why, you know, this actually has me very concerned, you know, as an American that, like, you know, strategically speaking, this can be a serious problem for us?
[02:07:57]  It is.
[02:07:57]  And I want to kind of rewind it back a little bit because rare earth metals, they're not actually rare.
[02:08:03]  That's just like the name.
[02:08:06]  So, you know, we tend to think of like, oh, these are rare.
[02:08:07]  Like, we can't find them anywhere.
[02:08:09]  That's not the actual meaning of the word.
[02:08:11]  You know, there's rare earths all over the world.
[02:08:13]  You know, there's tons of rare earths in Canada, in the United States, in Australia, China, Russia, you know, Ukraine.
[02:08:18]  I mean, they're all over the place, Greenland as well.
[02:08:21]  But the issue is the processing.
[02:08:23]  And this is kind of where we need to really get a little technical and kind of understand this.
[02:08:28]  So, in the United States, you know, when we look at these rare earth minerals, we can process them up to a 99.5% purity.
[02:08:37]  That's the highest we get to do in the United States.
[02:08:39]  We just don't have the capacity to get any closer than that.
[02:08:42]  But interesting enough, China can go to 99.9% purity.
[02:08:47]  Now, that difference is 0.4%, or 0.4, but it's everything when it comes to these minerals.
[02:08:53]  So, when you're looking at, for example, the semiconductors, And these advanced things that we're using the rare earths for, the magnets, and there's so many different industries that this touches.
[02:09:03]  You look at, like, titanium, for example, 40% of an F 35 fighter jet, 40% of that aircraft is titanium.
[02:09:10]  You're looking at some of these minerals, for example, are being used to make the heat shields on the actual aircraft.
[02:09:18]  So it's not the actual metal, but it's the material that's on top of the metal that actually makes it heat proof.
[02:09:24]  Those are the critical elements that we're discussing.
[02:09:27]  So, again, Only China can manufacture that to 99.9% purity.
[02:09:31]  Now, 99.5%, 99.9% doesn't seem like a big difference.
[02:09:34]  It means everything.
[02:09:35]  Semiconductors, you can only use 99.9%.
[02:09:37]  So you have to get it processed from China.
[02:09:40]  And they've just built the systems.
[02:09:41]  And this is really when you go to China and you tour the factories, you see how things are built there.
[02:09:47]  It's the ecosystem that is really, really big.
[02:09:50]  And so again, it's not just about like, well, why don't we just build a factory in America and let's just start processing to 99.9%?
[02:09:55]  Problem solved.
[02:09:56]  Well, it's not that easy to do because it's everything.
[02:10:00]  It's the whole.
[02:10:01]  Ecosystem and how to get to that level.
[02:10:03]  And then again, everything in America takes a long time.
[02:10:08]  It's a lot of bureaucracy here, a lot of red tape, a lot of stuff that is very difficult to get past.
[02:10:14]  This is why, for example, when we look at the tariff war, and in the tariff war, in theory, it makes sense on paper, right?
[02:10:21]  If we charge, for example, if you're wearing Nike shoes and we don't want those manufactured in China anymore.
[02:10:28]  So what we're going to do is we're going to put 100% tariff on it.
[02:10:31]  That way, Nike is forced to now open a factory in the United States.
[02:10:35]  Well, the issue with that is even if Nike's on board with that, how long is it going to take to build a factory in America?
[02:10:40]  Right?
[02:10:40]  How long is it going to take to get your supply chains rerouted from China to the United States?
[02:10:45]  Right?
[02:10:46]  I mean, this is like a five to 10 year plan.
[02:10:47]  Because, I mean, you think Nike has one factory?
[02:10:50]  I mean, they've got hundreds of factories all over Southeast Asia.
[02:10:53]  They're not only manufacturing in China, but Bangladesh, Vietnam, you know, all, you know, many, many different countries.
[02:10:59]  But you think about the steps of how Nike has been doing that, right?
[02:11:03]  Nike didn't go to China last year.
[02:11:04]  They've been there for decades manufacturing.
[02:11:06]  So you think of like the investments, the billions of dollars that Nike's been investing overseas, building these factories, building these supply chains, getting it to the point where they can get an affordable shoe made at a very cost efficient price, you know, to then import back into the United States.
[02:11:21]  And obviously, as a publicly traded company, what is their goal?
[02:11:24]  Their goal is to maximize shareholder value.
[02:11:25]  So again, it's, you know, they want to manufacture overseas because they can increase their profit margins.
[02:11:30]  I mean, I think Dave Chappelle had a really good segment there where he's just like, man, it's like, we don't want to.
[02:11:35]  We don't want to make Nikes.
[02:11:36]  We want to wear them.
[02:11:37]  Who the hell wants to work in an American factory making Nike shoes?
[02:11:41]  I want to wear Nikes.
[02:11:42]  I don't want to make them.
[02:11:43]  And so, again, when you're also looking at the policy, if you and I are Nike executives, Myron, and we're thinking, okay, Donald Trump wants to put these tariffs in, are we just going to start manufacturing?
[02:11:54]  Okay, let's put in these plans.
[02:11:55]  Okay, well, it's going to take a year to get the building plans done in order to get, we're going to get an architect to design the factory.
[02:12:01]  We've got to go through the US government to get it approved.
[02:12:03]  Okay, great.
[02:12:03]  Now we've broken ground.
[02:12:04]  It's going to take another couple of years to build that.
[02:12:06]  Now we're going to start rerouting.
[02:12:07]  I mean, again, this is multiple years in the making.
[02:12:10]  So it's not like, you know, I've talked to so many Americans who are like, oh, great, let's just start bringing manufacturing back to America.
[02:12:15]  Like, we're the trainer.
[02:12:16]  It takes forever.
[02:12:18]  It takes forever to do that.
[02:12:19]  You know, it's funny because when Trump was first announcing these tariffs, like a bunch of these, you know, guys from the top 500 Fortune 500 companies came in and were like, hey, look, are you serious about these tariffs?
[02:12:28]  Are you going to, like, actually, you know, bring these, like, have a long term infrastructure?
[02:12:33]  Or are you just doing this for, you know, trade purposes and have a trade war?
[02:12:36]  He didn't want to do it.
[02:12:37]  He didn't want to answer their questions.
[02:12:38]  So we know what it's for.
[02:12:39]  It was more about, you know, to hard line on negotiations versus actually bringing trade back, which is tariffs, in theory, if you actually see it all the way through, can work, but it's a long term process because, like you said, yes, you have to bring all All that infrastructure back over to actually manufacture the products here.
[02:12:53]  It is.
[02:12:54]  And I think, you know, there's a really interesting speech by JD Vance last year when he said, you know, globalization has failed.
[02:13:00]  You know, it's failed.
[02:13:01]  It's been a failed experiment because, and this was his words verbatim.
[02:13:04]  He said, you know, because China and these other countries like Vietnam, they were supposed to remain, you know, at the bottom.
[02:13:12]  Like, basically, we don't mind them manufacturing our stuff.
[02:13:15]  That's cool.
[02:13:16]  Like, you guys can have a factory, you can make our stuff, but, you know, you guys are below us, right?
[02:13:20]  You know, America's number one.
[02:13:22]  You've got to be below us.
[02:13:23]  But what happened is that China was very good at manufacturing.
[02:13:26]  If you go back 20 years ago, China didn't innovate.
[02:13:28]  China copied, right?
[02:13:29]  China was definitely a copycat nation, right?
[02:13:33]  And so what happened is, if you had these great pairs of Nikes, they're like, okay, let's break down these Nikes.
[02:13:38]  How did these Americans make these Nikes?
[02:13:40]  How did they do it?
[02:13:40]  We're going to make our own version.
[02:13:42]  We're going to make a fake version of it.
[02:13:43]  We're able to copy your technology very good.
[02:13:46]  And that was the same, whether it was electronics or this or that.
[02:13:50]  But then what happened is that China started innovating.
[02:13:52]  So you start saying, as they said, well, we don't want to just be the world's manufacturer.
[02:13:56]  We now want to be also the inventor and also the supplier.
[02:14:00]  And we want you guys to buy from us.
[02:14:02]  We want to buy from Chinese companies.
[02:14:04]  So that's what happened.
[02:14:05]  This is like when we're looking at the electric vehicle market, the EVs blow anything Tesla has out of the water.
[02:14:11]  I mean, they're just so much more advanced, so much more well engineered.
[02:14:16]  I mean, it's honestly fascinating when you go and drive these cars in person for the first time in China, or you take a DD.
[02:14:23]  DD would be like your local taxi.
[02:14:25]  So you take a DD, I mean, you're going to get an EV car.
[02:14:27]  And they have different levels.
[02:14:29]  So you can get like the super high end level.
[02:14:30]  You know, where the guy shows up in white gloves.
[02:14:32]  It's like a professional chauffeur, you know, driving around the city.
[02:14:36]  And it's like, I mean, you're talking like a $100,000 car.
[02:14:38]  And it's like, wow, this is nice.
[02:14:41]  I mean, you want to talk about luxury, you know, that's the $100,000 Chinese EV.
[02:14:45]  That's the, you know, that's like a Rolls Royce level.
[02:14:47]  I mean, it's super high end luxury.
[02:14:49]  And so again, you know, they're like, oh, they got cheap ones too, right?
[02:14:51]  That are very affordable, if I'm not mistaken.
[02:14:52]  I think I saw one of your videos that there's one, they got EVs for as low as like 10,000 US.
[02:14:56]  100%.
[02:14:57]  Yeah, 100%.
[02:14:58]  Yeah.
[02:14:58]  So like the BYD seal, I believe it is.
[02:15:00]  I think it's like their lowest price point is, you know, about $10,000.
[02:15:04]  You know, you can get a, You know, very functional, you know, high performing car that runs great.
[02:15:08]  And so, you know, that's, you know, I made a video where I went to Azerbaijan last year.
[02:15:12]  And I actually was, that was my first time being able to test drive a BYD because I, you know, I can't get it in the United States.
[02:15:19]  It's illegal.
[02:15:20]  But interesting enough, Myron, you know, when I was at the Consumer Electronics Show, which is the biggest tech show in the world every year in Las Vegas, every first week of January, there was no presence of Ford, GM, you know, none of the American was there.
[02:15:33]  But what they did is all of the Chinese manufacturers drove their cars up from Mexico.
[02:15:38]  With Mexican plates across the border and drove them to Las Vegas, and that was the talk of the town.
[02:15:43]  Everybody wanted to see the Chinese EVs.
[02:15:45]  Oh, wow.
[02:15:46]  So, yeah, you had a huge void there, right?
[02:15:48]  I mean, again, this is.
[02:15:48]  And they let them in.
[02:15:49]  The customs let them in.
[02:15:51]  They let them in for that show.
[02:15:53]  Just for that show.
[02:15:53]  Okay, for the show.
[02:15:54]  Yeah, they let them in for that show.
[02:15:56]  Maybe they stayed there.
[02:15:56]  I don't know.
[02:15:57]  I mean, maybe somebody got it in.
[02:15:58]  I mean, interesting enough, I mean, I think there's.
[02:16:01]  You can import a car from China into the United States.
[02:16:04]  You're just going to get 100% tariff on it.
[02:16:06]  Yeah.
[02:16:06]  So, you're going to get.
[02:16:07]  And you have to go through the logistics of shipping that and all that.
[02:16:09]  Interesting enough, you can look this up.
[02:16:11]  Jim Farley, who is the CEO of Ford, he went to Shanghai.
[02:16:15]  He was so impressed with the SUVs there that that's literally what he did.
[02:16:19]  He put a SUV on an airplane, flew it to Detroit.
[02:16:24]  And there are multiple reports.
[02:16:25]  You can Google this where he just said, Look, man, I'm driving my Chinese SUV along the streets of Detroit.
[02:16:31]  I don't want to give it up, man.
[02:16:31]  It's like that thing is awesome.
[02:16:32]  Like I absolutely love that Chinese EV.
[02:16:35]  So it's kind of like, dude, you're the CEO of Ford and you're driving a Chinese EV in Detroit.
[02:16:41]  You know, I mean, like I can't give you a better testimony of the quality of Chinese EVs.
[02:16:45]  Than if you've got the CEO of Ford going through that hassle of paying all the import tax.
[02:16:49]  You know, I don't know how much it costs to ship a car in an airplane from China to Detroit.
[02:16:54]  It ain't cheap though.
[02:16:55]  So, I mean, but that's what he did, you know, because he's like, I want to have this car in America.
[02:16:58]  You know, I want to have it here.
[02:16:59]  And, you know, maybe he's studying it.
[02:17:01]  Maybe he's saying, well, hey, I'm going to get my engineers to, you know, reverse engineer this.
[02:17:04]  Now we're going to be the opposite.
[02:17:06]  Now let's us try to see what kind of, you know, technology is going there.
[02:17:09]  You look at battery technology, you know, CATL, that's the number one battery manufacturer in the world.
[02:17:15]  You know, they've now developed a new battery with BYD.
[02:17:18]  Where you can actually charge your electric EV like you do at a gas pump, where you literally plug it in and within three minutes, you know, it's gone from 20% to about 80%.
[02:17:27]  Not a full charge, but man, three minutes, you can charge it 20 to 80%.
[02:17:32]  I mean, that's not much longer than it takes you to fill up your tank of gas.
[02:17:36]  Yeah.
[02:17:37]  But that's what's happening in China right now.
[02:17:38]  So, again, that technology doesn't exist in America.
[02:17:41]  That technology is not American engineering.
[02:17:43]  That's, again, Chinese engineers that have developed that technology.
[02:17:46]  You look at drones.
[02:17:47]  I mean, look at how advanced the DJI drones are.
[02:17:49]  DJI, massive company out of Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of China.
[02:17:53]  Again, just really incredible stuff that we're seeing out of China.
[02:17:57]  That again, you need to go there.
[02:17:59]  You need to experience it.
[02:17:59]  You need to see it for yourself.
[02:18:01]  And I think that's kind of the, when you mentioned speed, I showed Speed when he went to China.
[02:18:06]  He did a really good job of just really live streaming.

=== Chinese Engineering Dominance (03:02) ===

[02:18:09]  I mean, he didn't have an agenda.
[02:18:11]  He would stream for six, seven hours, go on the metro system, go here, go there, do this, do that.
[02:18:17]  And just Asia in general.
[02:18:19]  Japan has this, South Korea has this.
[02:18:21]  Cleaner and safer than America significantly, right?
[02:18:23]  Like, this isn't just a China thing.
[02:18:25]  Like, Asia in general, for a lot of these countries, like, you know, safer, cleaner, no bullshit, better public transportation.
[02:18:33]  Oh, absolutely.
[02:18:34]  I mean, the safety is a big thing.
[02:18:36]  I mean, I think that's for me as an American that was living over in China for a long time.
[02:18:41]  You know, that's one thing that I just always absolutely loved about my life there.
[02:18:45]  You know, you could wear an expensive watch out, you can have jewelry on, you could have, you know, a pocket full of cash, you could go out in a city of 25 million people at two in the morning and no one's going to bother you.
[02:18:56]  You're never going to be feared of being mugged or a gun pulled on you because guns don't exist there.
[02:19:04]  They don't like that.
[02:19:05]  And I know that that's a big sticking point.
[02:19:08]  This may be a really important message we can share with our viewers here if you try to understand China from an American lens, it will not make sense to you.
[02:19:17]  Vice versa.
[02:19:18]  If a Chinese tries to understand America, it doesn't make sense because our cultures are different.
[02:19:23]  I'm an American.
[02:19:24]  I was born and raised in Florida.
[02:19:25]  You know, I, for example, I know the Second Amendment in the United States is a huge deal for Americans, right?
[02:19:31]  We want the right to bear arms.
[02:19:32]  You ask Americans why?
[02:19:33]  Well, number one, personal safety.
[02:19:35]  I want to have a gun on my house just in case an intruder comes in.
[02:19:37]  Number two, you know, we believe that it keeps our government in check, right?
[02:19:40]  They know that, oh, the, you know, U.S. citizens are armed.
[02:19:43]  And, you know, if there's a need to revolt against the government, we have that power to do so.
[02:19:47]  That's an American perspective.
[02:19:49]  But, you know, Chinese are very pragmatic.
[02:19:50]  They're just kind of like, well, if everybody has guns, you're just going to have a more dangerous society.
[02:19:56]  And we can look at that.
[02:19:56]  Look at how many school shootings you have.
[02:19:58]  Look at how many homicides you have.
[02:19:59]  Look how many senseless gun violence you have in your cities.
[02:20:03]  We don't envy that.
[02:20:04]  We don't envy that freedom in China.
[02:20:06]  That to us is chaos.
[02:20:08]  We don't like that.
[02:20:09]  And if you actually go back to and look at like Chinese history, you know, for example, you know, China, you always hear this from Chinese people we have 5,000 years of history.
[02:20:17]  That's a very, you know, proud thing that many Chinese people say.
[02:20:21]  Like we're one of the longest living civilizations in the world.
[02:20:25]  But if you actually look at that history, it's just been 5,000 years of chaos, right?
[02:20:28]  Because this dynasty rises up and then the next dynasty comes and slaughters everybody, destroys everything, burns everything down, starts new.
[02:20:35]  So you kind of have this constant cycle of rising, falling, rising, falling, rising, falling, all the way up until the 19, you know, early 1900s where.
[02:20:43]  Geez, you know, China's one of the poorest countries in the world.
[02:20:45]  You know, like in the 1940s, China legit is one of the top 10 poorest countries on the planet.
[02:20:50]  And so, you know, but yet it has, you know, 4,500 years of history.
[02:20:55]  But yet it's, you know, after all that history, you know, all of the great dynasties, all the great emperors, it has nothing.
[02:21:01]  And so that's where there's a lot of admiration, you know, from Chinese people because, you know, whether you like Mao or not, you know, one thing that Mao did is that he established the government that exists today.

=== Taiwan And Democratic Nuances (15:03) ===

[02:21:11]  You know, he established the Communist Party in 1949.
[02:21:14]  Since then, it's been a relatively stable period of peace.
[02:21:18]  Now, Mao's made some big mistakes.
[02:21:19]  The Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward.
[02:21:21]  You know, there were decisions that led to famine.
[02:21:24]  You know, there was, it was not like he was a perfect leader.
[02:21:25]  He certainly made mistakes.
[02:21:26]  A lot of people died.
[02:21:29]  But, you know, China, then, you know, really, you know, the godfather of the modern China would be Deng Xiaoping, who came to power in the 1980s.
[02:21:37]  What was the first thing he did?
[02:21:38]  You know, he put on a cowboy hat and a game in the United States of America, went on a tour, and he's like, hey, we need to do business with you guys.
[02:21:43]  You guys should be manufacturing over here.
[02:21:45]  We want to trade with you guys.
[02:21:46]  And that's really what's really started.
[02:21:49]  You know, China, you know, this huge revolution that they saw, you know, and then, you know, you're looking at poverty alleviation, you're looking at the transformation that China's been.
[02:21:57]  I mean, I'm, you know, my father in law, for example, you know, grew up in Guangzhou.
[02:22:01]  He was one of eight children.
[02:22:02]  You know, he tells me the story.
[02:22:03]  I mean, he's like, he's like, Cyrus, I had no shoes growing up.
[02:22:06]  Like, we lived on the streets, you know, like we had nothing.
[02:22:10]  You know, like I didn't taste meat till I was about 13 years old because we didn't afford it.
[02:22:15]  You didn't have meat.
[02:22:16]  I mean, you know, you had to have money to have meat.
[02:22:18]  You know, we basically ate whatever we could eat, whether it be a bowl of rice for one day.
[02:22:22]  That's all we got.
[02:22:24]  I like to tell this story because I'm very proud of him because basically, him and his brothers, this is how they got their start.
[02:22:30]  They basically found this factory that was making pens.
[02:22:34]  And so, what happened is they had the ink and then the pen, and somehow the machine wasn't working.
[02:22:38]  So, they just threw all these things out.
[02:22:40]  Well, they're like, well, dude, if we take the ink, we put it in the pen and screw it on, we got a pen.
[02:22:44]  So, they just found basically 5,000 broken pens and they just fixed them all one by one.
[02:22:49]  And they went on the street and started selling them.
[02:22:51]  And they're like, oh my gosh, we just made some money.
[02:22:53]  All right, now what's the next opportunity we can do?
[02:22:55]  That's literally how, like, my father in law started his business in China.
[02:22:59]  It was just like finding pens inside of a dumpster.
[02:23:02]  Yeah, and that's Chinese.
[02:23:03]  Like, that is Chinese people.
[02:23:05]  They're very resourceful, very savvy, and they're looking for an opportunity.
[02:23:10]  And so for now, like, we're in Guangzhou.
[02:23:13]  We're going to go back next month.
[02:23:14]  We go to Guangzhou.
[02:23:14]  We'll see him, and we'll go for lunch together.
[02:23:18]  And he's very, there's a pride.
[02:23:20]  He's like, man, look at my city now.
[02:23:21]  Like, look at it.
[02:23:22]  It's like, man, we used to bathe in the river.
[02:23:24]  We used to run around the streets with no shoes.
[02:23:26]  Like, we were.
[02:23:27]  So poor, we didn't, we couldn't afford anything.
[02:23:29]  It's like now I can go to a restaurant and order whatever I want, you know, because, you know, obviously we've got stability now.
[02:23:34]  We've got a good job.
[02:23:35]  You know, we've made it to a point where we're not worrying about that kind of stuff anymore.
[02:23:39]  And so there's a big pride, you know, for a lot of Chinese people.
[02:23:43]  I want to get into the, and I appreciate you coming on, by the way, man, educating us on this.
[02:23:48]  Before we get into the Iran war, I want to know a little bit about, because you talked about communism and everything else like that.
[02:23:53]  How does the government operate in China?
[02:23:56]  You know, obviously, We know most of the main infrastructure is owned by the government.
[02:24:00]  But if you could quickly kind of summarize to the people here, how does the government work in China and how do the people respond to that governance?
[02:24:08]  Yeah, that's a great question, Myron.
[02:24:10]  You know, I'm going to rewind it back a little bit and just kind of say I think most Americans look at China in a very similar way that they look at North Korea, right?
[02:24:21]  They think that China and North Korea are the same, right?
[02:24:24]  You have one guy at the top who calls all the shots.
[02:24:27]  It's this strict authoritarian.
[02:24:29]  Watch the missiles get shot off.
[02:24:30]  Yeah, I mean, there's no freedom, there's no happiness.
[02:24:33]  You know, I always hear this like Chinese people have no idea what's going on outside the world.
[02:24:37]  Of course they do.
[02:24:38]  They know everything that's going on around the world.
[02:24:40]  The news channel broadcasts everything.
[02:24:43]  And the thing is, that's interesting is that, you know, yes, Xi Jinping is the president of China.
[02:24:48]  He's at the top.
[02:24:49]  But this is what a lot of people miss.
[02:24:52]  Xi Jinping's father was a very high ranking government official in China.
[02:24:56]  He actually met with Chairman Mao back in the day.
[02:24:58]  He was a high ranking general in the army.
[02:25:02]  Now, when Xi Jinping entered into the party, he entered in at the bottom.
[02:25:05]  He could not use his father's status to get an elevated position.
[02:25:09]  You know, it's like, hey, son, you want to go into politics?
[02:25:11]  Start at the bottom.
[02:25:12]  You're literally starting at zero.
[02:25:14]  It took him 37 years to go from the top, from the bottom all the way to China's official top, to get to the president.
[02:25:20]  Now, how did he do that?
[02:25:21]  The way that it works in China is a system of meritocracy.
[02:25:24]  And this is an interesting one, right?
[02:25:26]  You look at, for example, if we look at George W. Bush and we look at his father being a president, and obviously your father's a president, you're going to be able to get some leverage there.
[02:25:35]  You're going to be able to get some help.
[02:25:37]  He can certainly, I can certainly help my son get elected because I've got, A tremendous amount of connections here.
[02:25:43]  And we know this.
[02:25:44]  I mean, we see this in American politics right now.
[02:25:46]  There's a certain reason why during Trump's inauguration, why was Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and the CEO of Google and all of these big tech guys that are worth trillions of dollars combined, their net worth, why are they all with Donald Trump at the top?
[02:26:03]  Because if you have money, you can influence the political system in America.
[02:26:07]  And so that's what's interesting about America.
[02:26:09]  There's a famous quote from an economist named Eric Lee.
[02:26:12]  And he said, in China, You can't change the party, but you can change the policy.
[02:26:18]  And in America, you can change the party, but you can't change the policy.
[02:26:21]  And so that's a really famous quote from Eric Lee.
[02:26:24]  He gives a fantastic TED talk, by the way.
[02:26:26]  Just put in Eric Lee, L I. Eric Lee, put TED talk.
[02:26:30]  You'll be able to find his speech.
[02:26:31]  It's quite old now.
[02:26:31]  It's about probably 12 years old now, that speech.
[02:26:33]  But it gives a good, that actually answers this question a lot better because he goes into exactly how the government is functioning.
[02:26:40]  You know, one fact that I, yeah, please do, that there's an interesting one where, you know, again, we tend to think of Xi Jinping at the top, but actually, In China, there's local governments that are making decisions.
[02:26:51]  And one thing I always say, this is very important for people to understand China is incredibly diverse.
[02:26:57]  It is very different than the United States.
[02:26:59]  We look at the United States and China, if you look at the landmass, they're practically the same.
[02:27:02]  They're almost about the same size geographically.
[02:27:06]  But in China, there are 300 different languages spoken in China.
[02:27:10]  I thought it would be like Cantonese, Fulcanese, and Mandarin, but I didn't realize it was more than that.
[02:27:17]  Yeah, those are three.
[02:27:18]  There's another 297 different languages.
[02:27:19]  Holy crap.
[02:27:20]  Yeah.
[02:27:21]  So, like you go to Shanghai, for example, the locals speak Shanghainese.
[02:27:24]  You go to Chongqing, they speak Chongqingese.
[02:27:26]  You go to Suzhou, they speak a dialect in Suzhou.
[02:27:28]  So, everywhere you go, there's regional dialects.
[02:27:31]  There's, you know, obviously, Mandarin is the number one language.
[02:27:35]  You know, that is the dialect of Beijing.
[02:27:36]  And since Beijing was the capital, they said, okay, this is going to be the number one language.
[02:27:40]  So, if you go to Shanghai, if you speak, I guess, Mandarin, will people in Shanghai understand you?
[02:27:44]  100%.
[02:27:45]  Yeah.
[02:27:45]  Everyone will speak that.
[02:27:46]  But it's so that's how you differentiate if you're local Shanghainese, right?
[02:27:49]  If you're like, if you're local, You're going to speak Shanghainese, right?
[02:27:53]  And so, for example, generally speaking, most of your taxi drivers in Shanghai are local Shanghainese.
[02:27:58]  So, if you're pulling up to a red light and let's say a guy doesn't know the directions, he might wave to the next taxi driver and then they'll just start speaking Shanghainese because he'll just assume, hey, this guy's a taxi driver.
[02:28:08]  This guy's definitely Shanghainese, like me.
[02:28:11]  So, you know, you start to see that.
[02:28:12]  You start to see that where, you know, like if you're trying to do a business deal in Shanghai, like you better have a local Shanghainese guy because like Shanghainese people want to deal with Shanghainese people.
[02:28:20]  You know, they don't want somebody coming in from Beijing and doing stuff down there.
[02:28:23]  You know, it's a little bit, you know, there's a lot of like nuances there.
[02:28:26]  And again, you know, it's about having these different connections.
[02:28:29]  You go to Guangzhou.
[02:28:30]  You know, Guangzhou, Cantonese rules.
[02:28:32]  You know, Cantonese is a very spoken language down there.
[02:28:35]  Now, Mandarin is becoming more and more popular because people from other parts of the country are going in there.
[02:28:40]  So, yes, I mean, you can learn to speak Mandarin.
[02:28:42]  You will go anywhere in China and have no problems communicating.
[02:28:45]  That being said, there's a lot of villages.
[02:28:48]  You know, for example, I got a chance to be a best man at a wedding.
[02:28:50]  It was for my Chinese colleague, and he was from a very small village.
[02:28:55]  I mean, just in the mountainside.
[02:28:57]  And so his father came.
[02:28:58]  His father could not speak Mandarin.
[02:29:00]  His father, Only could speak that local, local dialect because he'd really never left his village.
[02:29:06]  And so I was kind of amazed because I speak Mandarin and I've studied it and I've lived there for 10 years.
[02:29:11]  So I'm like, wow, this is kind of crazy.
[02:29:13]  Like, I have no way to communicate with this guy because he literally cannot speak the national language of China.
[02:29:18]  He's a local villager.
[02:29:19]  He literally only speaks his local dialect.
[02:29:21]  So, as you can imagine, when you go to these local villages, how does it work?
[02:29:26]  Well, they actually have a democratic system where they're going to elect a leader of that village democratically.
[02:29:32]  You know, they'll vote.
[02:29:33]  They'll, you know, you're going to be in charge of our village.
[02:29:36]  You're going to be going forward.
[02:29:37]  And so there's a lot of, you know, nuances.
[02:29:39]  There's a lot of like democratic processes that are existing within China.
[02:29:43]  But generally speaking, obviously, like the government in Beijing oversees everything.
[02:29:47]  But again, it's a much, much more complex system.
[02:29:50]  So if anybody's interested in actually learning how that system works, just type in Eric Lee L I, Ted speak, you know, Ted talk.
[02:29:57]  I already wrote it down.
[02:29:58]  I'm going to definitely watch it.
[02:29:59]  You'll be able to find that.
[02:30:00]  And he gives a really, really good, you know, kind of 20 minute analysis, kind of breaking down exactly how that system works.
[02:30:07]  So again, it's actually very organized, very complex.
[02:30:11]  And so it's just very different than what we hear.
[02:30:13]  We just tend to think, oh, it's like, would you say it's like a pseudo communist slash democracy type thing?
[02:30:20]  Or if you had to like quickly give it a.
[02:30:23]  Well, the official, like, it's communist by definition, right?
[02:30:26]  It's called the Chinese, you know, the Communist Party of China, of course.
[02:30:30]  The official government title.
[02:30:31]  But actually, Chinese would describe it as it's socialism with Chinese characteristics.
[02:30:36]  So it's much more of a socialist society, you know, where they're really wanting to make sure that everybody in China.
[02:30:42]  Is able to have, you know, like the rising tide lifts all boats.
[02:30:45]  Yeah.
[02:30:45]  You know, they want to make sure that they see all members of society be able to improve their lives and increase.
[02:30:51]  And so, you know, it's a very, you know, but that being said, right, like if it was communist, are you allowed to invest in the stock market?
[02:30:58]  Are you allowed to, you know, flip real estate?
[02:31:00]  Are you allowed to start your own business?
[02:31:01]  Are you allowed to be able to make an unbelievable amount of money?
[02:31:04]  There's a tremendous amount of billionaires in China.
[02:31:06]  Why?
[02:31:07]  Because they embraced capitalism and they, you know, created these incredible companies.
[02:31:11]  Lots of millionaires.
[02:31:12]  Lots of millionaires.
[02:31:12]  Lots of billionaires.
[02:31:13]  So, again, if this was a real, Strict communist style, there would be no millionaires, there would be no billionaires, right?
[02:31:18]  Everybody would be equal.
[02:31:20]  But it's kind of this hybrid model, I would say, where they've embraced the capitalistic roots.
[02:31:24]  There's elements of democracy for sure, there's elements of socialism, there's elements of communism.
[02:31:29]  So it's very much a hybrid system that is unique to China.
[02:31:33]  There's no other government in the world that operates like that.
[02:31:35]  And that's why China doesn't go around the world saying, hey, you guys should be like us.
[02:31:39]  You should adapt our government because why would you?
[02:31:44]  Your country's not like China.
[02:31:46]  And that's kind of a difference that I want to say, like, right?
[02:31:48]  You're in America.
[02:31:49]  Doesn't matter.
[02:31:49]  You can be in Florida, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, Texas.
[02:31:53]  We all speak English.
[02:31:54]  It's basically, it's more or less the same wherever you go in America, right?
[02:31:57]  We're one country.
[02:31:58]  China is a lot more diverse, a lot more unique in that perspective.
[02:32:02]  All right.
[02:32:03]  Taiwan.
[02:32:04]  Obviously, there's quite a bit of fear in the U.S.
[02:32:07]  We talk about it all the time.
[02:32:08]  Is China going to invade Taiwan?
[02:32:10]  Obviously, especially with the Iran conflict going on, we've mobilized a lot of our assets out of the region to support in the Middle East.
[02:32:18]  We're down on stockpiles, et cetera.
[02:32:20]  What is the deal with Taiwan?
[02:32:21]  Is there a real threat there?
[02:32:23]  Is China going to invade?
[02:32:24]  Or what do you think is going to go on there?
[02:32:28]  Yeah, that's a great question.
[02:32:29]  So, you know, the interesting thing is that in theory, right, this would be the perfect time for China to attack, right?
[02:32:35]  Because, you know, the United States has spread very thin.
[02:32:38]  We've now moved these STAD missile radar systems out of Korea, you know, moving them over to the Middle East.
[02:32:44]  You know, we see this.
[02:32:45]  I mean, we've supported the Ukraine war for the past four and a half years.
[02:32:48]  You know, that has depleted a lot of our stockpile.
[02:32:51]  We've obviously supported Israel, you know, in this new war against Iran that has depleted a tremendous amount of stockpile.
[02:32:57]  So, you know, the theory is, and again, this is what you're hearing in Western media, is that.
[02:33:01]  There has never been a better time for China to attack Taiwan because they see the United States' vulnerabilities.
[02:33:08]  Even the fact that the United States military, as grand as it is, it has not been able to open the Strait of Hormuz.
[02:33:15]  Here we are, week nine of the war, it's not back to what it was like in February 27th.
[02:33:20]  There's been a tremendous disruption to the global oil markets.
[02:33:27]  But also, you look at the strategic military objectives that we set out.
[02:33:31]  We want a regime change.
[02:33:32]  That hasn't happened.
[02:33:33]  We want to get rid of the uranium in Iran.
[02:33:35]  That hasn't happened.
[02:33:36]  We want to deplete their missiles.
[02:33:37]  That hasn't happened.
[02:33:38]  So there hasn't really been a military win for the United States yet in Iran nine weeks into this conflict.
[02:33:45]  We thought it was going to be a pushover.
[02:33:46]  So, you know, again, that kind of feeds to the theory hey, China's looking at America like, hey, you guys can't really take down Iran.
[02:33:52]  Maybe you have no chance against us.
[02:33:54]  But here's the nuance that you need to understand.
[02:33:58]  So, around the world, okay, about 182 countries in the world recognize the one China policy.
[02:34:05]  Now, the one China policy is meaning that Taiwan is part of China.
[02:34:10]  Now, if you were to go to the White House today and you were to ask President Trump spot blank, do you believe that Taiwan is part of China?
[02:34:17]  The answer that he will guarantee give you is absolutely, I do.
[02:34:20]  I believe in the one China policy.
[02:34:21]  Because in order for a country to have diplomatic relations with China, you must adhere to the one China policy.
[02:34:28]  So there are about 12 nations in the world that don't, right?
[02:34:30]  12 nations in the world recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
[02:34:34]  Those 12 nations are very small.
[02:34:35]  I mean, like there are islands in the Caribbean and You know, like islands in the Asia Pacific region, like very, very small countries.
[02:34:42]  Basically, no major country in the world recognizes this.
[02:34:46]  And so, what you have right here is you already have the majority of the world, including the United States, already admitting that Taiwan is part of China.
[02:34:53]  Now, Taiwan operates in a gray area, right?
[02:34:55]  Because they technically operate almost as an independent country, right?
[02:34:59]  They have their own passports, they have their own government, they have their own currency.
[02:35:03]  They're united by the same language in Taiwan.
[02:35:05]  They do speak Mandarin as well.
[02:35:07]  You know, very similar culture, obviously, as Chinese.
[02:35:10]  But the interesting thing is that we have this thing called strategic ambiguity.
[02:35:14]  And what that simply means is that we recognize that Taiwan is part of China, but yet we also kind of treat Taiwan as more of an independent country.
[02:35:21]  There's this gray area that has existed for the past 60 years.
[02:35:25]  And that's basically how the U.S., China, and Taiwan all function.
[02:35:29]  And so what you have is you basically have the status quo, as we say.
[02:35:34]  And this is what most Taiwanese people would support, where it's like, do you want to support independence?
[02:35:38]  Actually, the majority of Taiwanese don't support independence, they also don't support.
[02:35:42]  Unification with China.
[02:35:44]  What the majority of Taiwanese prefer is the status quo, which basically means keep everything the same.
[02:35:49]  Like we're doing good.
[02:35:50]  We're doing our own thing over here in Taiwan.
[02:35:52]  You know, China's not invading us.
[02:35:54]  We're good.
[02:35:54]  Like, Taiwan's doing our thing.
[02:35:55]  Mainland's doing their thing.
[02:35:56]  You know, we're...
[02:35:57]  We're operating in this gray area.
[02:35:59]  But the thing I want people to understand is I don't think that this is a threat at all because for Chinese people, they look at Taiwan as their brothers and sisters, right?
[02:36:08]  These are Chinese people about the end of the day, speaking the same language.
[02:36:11]  There's many families that have family members on both sides of the strait.

=== Nuclear Programs In Iran (12:17) ===

[02:36:15]  So again, what would Beijing accomplish by all of a sudden launching a war against Taiwan?
[02:36:21]  What are they going to do?
[02:36:22]  They're going to bomb Taipei.
[02:36:23]  They're going to start bombing all the infrastructure, they're going to start killing civilians.
[02:36:27]  They're going to start bombing the semiconductor factories.
[02:36:30]  What win does that get China?
[02:36:31]  It gives them nothing, right?
[02:36:32]  It gives them absolutely nothing.
[02:36:34]  You know, Taiwan is absolutely crucial to the world economy.
[02:36:38]  You know, we look at, for example, the semiconductors.
[02:36:40]  You know, 90% of the most advanced semiconductors in the world are coming from Taiwan.
[02:36:44]  You know, you bomb that and you take out TSMC, the whole world's screwed.
[02:36:48]  Yeah.
[02:36:48]  So China doesn't benefit from that.
[02:36:51]  You know, so that, so, you know, when you're looking at an analysis of this, what does China actually have to gain from actually invading Taiwan?
[02:36:58]  They gain nothing, they lose everything.
[02:37:00]  So, you know, you're looking at the cost equation, it's a total loss for them.
[02:37:05]  It makes absolutely no sense.
[02:37:06]  Now, I would be lying if I wouldn't say, like, certainly the goal for China to reunify with Taiwan at some point.
[02:37:12]  You know, they definitely would like to see a peaceful reunification.
[02:37:16]  And kind of the X factor here, Myron, that a lot of people need to understand is I always say this the ball is in the United States court.
[02:37:23]  Let's just say that Trump wakes up one day and he says, you know what?
[02:37:26]  I've had enough of this.
[02:37:27]  I am going to declare Taiwan an independent country.
[02:37:31]  The United States government will now officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
[02:37:35]  Now, that would be the start of a very big conflict because all of a sudden, China would say, wait a second, for the last 60 years, you've been applying, you've been adhering to the one China policy.
[02:37:46]  And now you're saying that this territory is not ours.
[02:37:49]  We will go to fight over that.
[02:37:51]  So let's just say that Donald Trump starts moving in naval ships and he says, you know what?
[02:37:55]  In preparation for a China attack, we are going to militarily defend you and we're going to put in all our battleships there.
[02:38:01]  We're going to station US troops on the ground.
[02:38:03]  We're going to go all in on this.
[02:38:05]  China would be ready for a fight.
[02:38:07]  They would definitely go to war for that.
[02:38:09]  But again, the catalyst to that was the United States would have to start that.
[02:38:13]  China's not going to start that.
[02:38:14]  But again, China doesn't want a war with America.
[02:38:19]  Again, can you imagine a world war with China?
[02:38:22]  It'd be bad for both parties.
[02:38:23]  Very bad for both.
[02:38:24]  It'd be bad for both parties, but it'd also be bad for the world economy.
[02:38:27]  There you go.
[02:38:27]  World economy crashing.
[02:38:29]  China economy crashed.
[02:38:31]  So again, look at China's success over the last 40 years.
[02:38:35]  Like I said, back 50, 60 years ago, China, one of the top 10 poorest countries in the world.
[02:38:40]  Now it's risen to a superpower.
[02:38:43]  So, what you're going to sacrifice that 60 years of progress to go start a war?
[02:38:47]  It just doesn't make sense.
[02:38:49]  So, I think that's.
[02:38:50]  And they don't start wars.
[02:38:52]  They don't start wars.
[02:38:53]  It's not pragmatic.
[02:38:54]  And that's at the end of the day, I think is really important, Myron, for people to understand.
[02:38:58]  And you hear me say this word often during the stream, nuance.
[02:39:01]  And this is the nuance that many people don't understand.
[02:39:05]  I was playing golf this week with some business members here in Las Vegas, and that was their question.
[02:39:09]  What about Taiwan?
[02:39:10]  You know, I think China's going to launch any second.
[02:39:13]  Like any day, they're just going to start nuking them.
[02:39:15]  I'm like, nuking them?
[02:39:16]  Like, why the hell would they nuke them, dude?
[02:39:17]  But no.
[02:39:18]  Okay, maybe not nukes.
[02:39:19]  They're going to just start launching missiles.
[02:39:20]  Well, that's the U.S. propaganda for you.
[02:39:22]  That's the U.S. news propaganda for you.
[02:39:24]  You know what I mean?
[02:39:25]  Yeah.
[02:39:26]  And so I kind of explain things exactly like I just did to you.
[02:39:29]  And they're like, wow, I never really understood that, Cyrus.
[02:39:31]  Like, I didn't get that.
[02:39:32]  And I'm like, yeah, you know, you go to Taiwan right now, dude.
[02:39:35]  It's a great place.
[02:39:37]  I've been to Taiwan many times.
[02:39:38]  It's a fantastic place.
[02:39:39]  You know, great culture there, great people.
[02:39:42]  You know, best food, you know, arguably some of the best food in Asia.
[02:39:44]  But I mean, it's everyone's living a normal life.
[02:39:47]  You know, people aren't worried about this.
[02:39:49]  People are not going out like, oh my God, is this the day that China's going to attack us?
[02:39:52]  I don't know.
[02:39:53]  That is not crossing Taiwanese people's mind.
[02:39:55]  Interesting enough, you know, you did see the opposition party leader.
[02:39:58]  You know, you have two big parties in Taiwan.
[02:40:01]  So the opposition leader is pro China.
[02:40:05]  So it's like.
[02:40:05]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:40:06]  So you got the KMT.
[02:40:07]  KMT is pro China.
[02:40:08]  So they actually just flew to Beijing and met with Xi Jinping, which is actually a very big deal, you know, for a Taiwanese leader, you know, to go there.
[02:40:15]  You know, but they had discussions and, you know, basically talking about the straight.
[02:40:19]  And, you know, here's a fun fact for many people that don't, that maybe probably don't know this that Xi Jinping, when he was making his ascension to the top, He was the provincial leader of Fujian province.
[02:40:29]  Now, Fujian is the province that's right across the strait from Taiwan.
[02:40:33]  Oh, okay.
[02:40:34]  Yeah.
[02:40:34]  So he lived there.
[02:40:35]  Yeah.
[02:40:35]  So he lived there for 18 years.
[02:40:37]  So, 18 years he was in charge of that province.
[02:40:39]  So you can imagine Xi Jinping would have definitely learned the local dialect there, which is, you know, Fujianese, which is, you know, basically similar to Taiwanese.
[02:40:46]  So, you know, Xi Jinping would speak fluent Taiwanese.
[02:40:48]  Guarantee it.
[02:40:49]  Guarantee he speaks it.
[02:40:50]  And what did he do?
[02:40:51]  His whole thing was, well, let's increase trade.
[02:40:53]  Let's do more business.
[02:40:54]  Let's improve relations and, you know, all of these steps.
[02:40:57]  So, You know, again, there was no kind of animosity there, like, hey, you know, I'm in the province, you know, just across the water from you.
[02:41:03]  I want to, I want to do, you know, I want to build up our military resources here.
[02:41:07]  You know, I want to, you know, let's build up all this naval, let's build a naval base here because, you know, this in the future, you know, I could potentially use this.
[02:41:14]  No, what did he do?
[02:41:15]  He did more trade with Taiwan and improved relations.
[02:41:18]  You know, that's something that most people don't know about Xi Jinping, but, you know, he spent a significant amount of his career, you know, in that province, specifically working with Taiwan.
[02:41:26]  I did not know that.
[02:41:27]  Okay.
[02:41:28]  So, Last thing here, and then we'll close.
[02:41:30]  I appreciate you coming on, man.
[02:41:32]  This is great.
[02:41:33]  I have a couple questions here, but I'll make them quick.
[02:41:35]  Sure.
[02:41:35]  Iran, you know, I've been talking with my audience about this.
[02:41:39]  I think we are losing this war strategically.
[02:41:41]  I think there's been, you know, Trump clearly underestimated the Iranians.
[02:41:45]  He underestimated how much China would go to bat and support them, as well as the Russians.
[02:41:48]  We know Aragachi, the foreign minister, met with Puin a day ago or so.
[02:41:55]  I want to talk more about China's involvement in this conflict, how they're faring from this conflict, and your overall thoughts on it.
[02:42:02]  Yeah, fantastic.
[02:42:04]  You know, I think they, you know, when we talk about like Iran, you know, China has trade relations with the vast majority of countries around the world.
[02:42:11]  I mean, about 125 countries.
[02:42:15]  China is the top trading partner to about 125 countries.
[02:42:18]  So China trades.
[02:42:19]  And, you know, there was a big thing in American media like, hey, China was making a shipment to Iran.
[02:42:23]  You know, there was like, you know, Chinese supplies were going to Iran.
[02:42:26]  You know, this is illegal.
[02:42:27]  You know, this shouldn't be happening.
[02:42:28]  The rocket fuel, they were crying about that.
[02:42:31]  Yeah, but it's like, well, at the end of the day, You have two sovereign nations that are conducting trade with each other.
[02:42:37]  I mean, as an American, we can just say, I don't like that, but it doesn't mean that we have jurisdiction.
[02:42:43]  We have no business telling China that they can't buy uranium from Russia or oil from Russia.
[02:42:48]  They're going to buy that.
[02:42:49]  Same thing with India.
[02:42:50]  We look at India, they have been the biggest purchasers of Russian oil over the last four and a half years.
[02:42:56]  And Donald Trump meets with Modi and he says, Hey, Modi, I don't like you buying Russian oil.
[02:43:02]  And he said, Hey, man, guess what?
[02:43:03]  We're the fastest growing economy right now.
[02:43:05]  I need oil for my country.
[02:43:07]  You know what?
[02:43:08]  I'm cool with you guys.
[02:43:09]  I want to still be friends with the US.
[02:43:10]  That's cool.
[02:43:11]  But guess what?
[02:43:12]  I'm also friends with Putin because India plays both sides better than anybody.
[02:43:19]  And they have a very strategic way to do that because they never want to align themselves in one camp specifically.
[02:43:25]  They're always trying to have one foot on both sides, be strapped in the middle on that fence.
[02:43:30]  And again, it just comes down to economics.
[02:43:33]  When Russia was going through that war, going through the war, They're discounting their oil.
[02:43:37]  They're selling it cheap.
[02:43:38]  So look how much oil India consumes.
[02:43:40]  They're like, fantastic.
[02:43:41]  We get a discount on Russian oil.
[02:43:42]  We can power our economy.
[02:43:44]  Huge win for us.
[02:43:45]  Obviously, we're going to take that win.
[02:43:46]  Now, here's the fun fact that many people probably don't know.
[02:43:51]  Even during all of these sanctions that the United States has posed on Russia, 25% of our energy in the United States actually comes from nuclear energy.
[02:44:00]  And we need uranium to power that.
[02:44:02]  Where do we get the uranium from?
[02:44:03]  We get it from Russia.
[02:44:05]  So, this entire time that we've been fighting the Russians.
[02:44:08]  It's one of the few things that we still get from them.
[02:44:10]  Yeah.
[02:44:11]  It's one of the few things.
[02:44:11]  But again, it's kind of a little bit of hypocrisy there where it's like, hey, we need to sanction Russia.
[02:44:17]  We can do no business with them.
[02:44:18]  Oh, except this one thing.
[02:44:20]  Like, it's kind of a major thing.
[02:44:21]  We're going to probably spend about $100 million a month on it.
[02:44:24]  It's uranium.
[02:44:25]  We need it.
[02:44:26]  And we're going to make an exemption to that because, well, we can't supply our nuclear reactors for 25% of the households in America that run on nuclear energy.
[02:44:36]  And so that was the exception to the rule.
[02:44:38]  So, again, I always kind of bring that up because it's like, well, are you sanctioning them or are you not?
[02:44:45]  You can't half ass it, right?
[02:44:47]  If you're going to do it, you've got to go all in.
[02:44:49]  You can't just keep making all these exceptions.
[02:44:51]  And it was the same thing with the tariff policy, right?
[02:44:53]  We saw Donald Trump say, We're going to tariff China.
[02:44:56]  Oh, yeah, except electronics because we kind of need those, you know, like all those keyboards and all those computers and all those phones.
[02:45:02]  How are tariffs affecting China at all?
[02:45:04]  I was going to say probably not that much, huh?
[02:45:07]  Well, I mean, it's definitely affected China in some sense.
[02:45:11]  You know, I mean, it's definitely made the margin smaller because, you know, you kind of have a lot of manufacturers that are struggling, you know, because what happens is, you know, I have a friend of mine that owns a water bottle company, right?
[02:45:26]  So he makes these water coolers.
[02:45:28]  And his competitor would be Yeti, which is obviously a massive company, but he has a niche and he does quite well with his brand.
[02:45:35]  But the issue is, he makes them in China.
[02:45:37]  Now he's a smaller brand.
[02:45:38]  So he's like, well, I get squeezed, right?
[02:45:42]  Because my prices are going up.
[02:45:44]  So I'm trying to talk to my Chinese manufacturer, saying, look, dude, I'm getting crushed with the tariffs.
[02:45:48]  Can you give me a better price?
[02:45:50]  So the Chinese are trying to work with them.
[02:45:52]  So they're going to reduce their margins a little bit.
[02:45:53]  They're going to say, hey, we don't make a ton of money on these things.
[02:45:56]  But obviously, we got to still make a profit at the factory at the end of the day, too.
[02:45:59]  But we're going to try to work with you.
[02:46:01]  And then for him, he's like, I can't take that shock like Yeti, right?
[02:46:04]  Like Yeti was like, all right, you know what?
[02:46:06]  This is a temporary thing.
[02:46:07]  We're going to just absorb the cost of this, you know, because we're not going to just pass that massive cost on to the U.S. consumers.
[02:46:15]  At the end of the day, someone's got to pay for the tariffs, right?
[02:46:17]  But now you see now there's going to be a big tariff refund.
[02:46:20]  And now you've got, who was it?
[02:46:22]  Is it Lutnik's sons?
[02:46:23]  Lutnik's sons were buying a bunch of money.
[02:46:25]  They made a bunch of money, dude, yeah.
[02:46:27]  Right?
[02:46:28]  So there's so much corruption going on.
[02:46:31]  You know, with all of these different things.
[02:46:33]  I mean, you look at the oil trading.
[02:46:34]  I mean, I know you've covered this before, you know, the insider trading on the oil markets.
[02:46:38]  All of a sudden, somebody just put a $250 million bet, you know, shorting oil.
[02:46:43]  And magically, 10 minutes later, Donald Trump, you know, sends out this tweet Oh, I'm meeting with Iran.
[02:46:48]  Everything's going to be great.
[02:46:49]  And then the oil market crashes.
[02:46:50]  Oh, wait, we just sold those options.
[02:46:52]  Yeah, great.
[02:46:52]  We just made, you know, a couple hundred million dollars off of that.
[02:46:55]  Oh, geez, who was that?
[02:46:56]  Oh, wow, it's the same trader that's doing this.
[02:46:58]  You know, he's like five for five now, making, you know, just insane amounts of money.
[02:47:03]  So, in regards to China and what they're doing, they're going to continue having trade relations with Iran.
[02:47:08]  They're going to continue to supply.
[02:47:09]  They're not going to get involved militarily.
[02:47:11]  You're not going to see the military being involved in a deployment.
[02:47:14]  I mean, they're never going to go to that extent.
[02:47:16]  But it's just, I agree with your statement there, Myron, as far as the United States is losing this battle.
[02:47:22]  I mentioned that earlier.
[02:47:23]  Nine weeks in, we have not achieved anything of significance.
[02:47:28]  The only thing that we can say is, hey, we've hit a lot of targets in Iran.
[02:47:31]  Great.
[02:47:31]  We've blown a bunch of crap up.
[02:47:33]  We've hit a lot of buildings.
[02:47:35]  Last time I checked, and this is what senior intelligence in America says Iran still has about 50 to 60% of their missile capacity.
[02:47:41]  They're not depleted.
[02:47:42]  They got a lot of inventory left, and you can imagine they're building more right now.
[02:47:46]  They probably restocked too, yeah, during the break.
[02:47:48]  Exactly.
[02:47:48]  And they make everything domestically pretty much.
[02:47:50]  So it's like, you know, they've achieved none of their strategic goals.
[02:47:53]  The nuclear program is still there, the ballistic missile program is still there.
[02:47:56]  Like, their proxies are still getting funded.
[02:47:58]  Hezbollah's, you know, beating up the IDF right now in southern Lebanon.
[02:48:02]  So it's like the real reasons why we went to war are still in place.
[02:48:05]  And now the shredder who moves is close too.
[02:48:07]  So it's like we achieved nothing strategically at all.
[02:48:10]  We've achieved absolutely nothing.
[02:48:11]  And John Mearsheimer, You know, fantastic political scientist.
[02:48:15]  He's, you know, he just said this has been a masterclass in failure.
[02:48:19]  You know, it's just been, there's nothing been achieved.
[02:48:21]  But of course, you know, I mean, we live in this, you know, crazy world right now where, you know, Donald Trump is erecting gold statues of himself, you know, right now, you know, that it's just like now a new passport's come out.

=== Uyghur Genocide Allegations (10:34) ===

[02:48:33]  Have you seen that?
[02:48:33]  Yeah.
[02:48:34]  A new passport, you know, passport that Donald Trump, you know, celebrating the 250 year anniversary.
[02:48:38]  Yeah.
[02:48:38]  You get your patriot passport with my image and my signature all over it.
[02:48:42]  I mean, he's, you know, I mean, you know, I want to build this massive ballroom.
[02:48:46]  You know, I want to do all this stuff, you know, to glorify me.
[02:48:49]  He was supposed to go to China, but now he's not going to.
[02:48:52]  I think the big reason why he's not going to go to China is because we're not doing too well in this war.
[02:48:56]  So it's like he wants to go there with a W.
[02:48:57]  I think he postponed it again, didn't he?
[02:49:00]  Yeah, he did.
[02:49:00]  I mean, we're looking at it potentially.
[02:49:02]  I think it was like before May 15th.
[02:49:04]  I mean, there's some speculation.
[02:49:05]  I mean, there's, I mean, obviously China is, you know, ready for that meeting.
[02:49:08]  I mean, I do think it's great when, you know, the presidents of the United States and China meet.
[02:49:12]  I don't know when the last time a U.S. president was on the ground in Beijing.
[02:49:15]  I know that Xi Jinping was in China, it was in San Francisco last year, you know, for a visit.
[02:49:21]  But I think anytime the two leaders of the two most important countries in the world are meeting, I think it's a good thing.
[02:49:27]  And I just think that it's really important for more dialogue between the United States and China.
[02:49:31]  We'll see.
[02:49:32]  I mean, if he's waiting for a win, then it sounds like his China trip's not going to happen for a long time.
[02:49:36]  Yeah.
[02:49:37]  Yeah.
[02:49:39]  I got a few questions there.
[02:49:40]  We'll make them quick and I'll get you out of here.
[02:49:42]  I appreciate you coming on again.
[02:49:43]  Someone said Is it true that they're putting Muslims into camps?
[02:49:46]  What's the deal with Muslims and Islam in China?
[02:49:49]  I think he's talking about the Uyghurs.
[02:49:51]  Is that how it's pronounced?
[02:49:52]  It's pronounced the Uyghurs.
[02:49:53]  So, Xinjiang is a very controversial province, and it's actually an autonomous region in China.
[02:50:00]  The key thing here is we often hear this in Western media there's a genocide going on in China, there's a genocide happening.
[02:50:07]  I don't know of a genocide in world history that has seen a tremendous amount of population increase.
[02:50:12]  So, you look at the population figures in Xinjiang.
[02:50:14]  Fun fact Xinjiang is the number one tourist destination domestically in all of China.
[02:50:19]  It actually has the one region in China with the most amount of airports.
[02:50:22]  There are 27 airports in Xinjiang.
[02:50:24]  In the Xinjiang region.
[02:50:25]  Wow.
[02:50:25]  So you have a tremendous amount of infrastructure being built there.
[02:50:30]  It has become super popular for domestic tourism there.
[02:50:33]  So, again, how do you have a genocide going on when the population is thriving?
[02:50:39]  Again, they say, oh, okay, well, it's not a real genocide by definition, it's a cultural genocide.
[02:50:44]  They're trying to erase their heritage.
[02:50:46]  They're trying to make sure that they don't speak the Uyghur language, that these people don't go to the mosque.
[02:50:51]  You go there, there's mosques everywhere, the local language is everywhere.
[02:50:55]  And you know, and then this is kind of a big thing that's been trending the last two weeks.
[02:50:59]  Uh, China came out with a new policy, uh, basically mandating that Mandarin is spoken all over the country, and it's very important for regions like Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
[02:51:09]  Because, again, like I said, remember my the best the guy that I uh, the best man at my wedding, or I was the best man at his wedding, his father, he could not speak Mandarin.
[02:51:18]  Yeah, well, if you're a child born in Xinjiang and you could only speak the Uyghur language, you're limited.
[02:51:23]  Where else are you going to go in the world?
[02:51:24]  You can only stay in your province, right, or your autonomous region.
[02:51:27]  You can't go to Beijing.
[02:51:28]  You're a Chinese citizen that can't go to the capital to get a job because you can't speak the national language.
[02:51:33]  So, actually, when you go to Xinjiang and you go to Tibet, it's a good thing for these people to learn Mandarin.
[02:51:39]  Now, China's not saying that you're not allowed to speak your local language.
[02:51:43]  It's just saying, like in school, right?
[02:51:44]  Like in school, you're going to be learning Mandarin, right?
[02:51:46]  And actually, there's another really good geopolitical commentator, Arnaud Bertrand, a Frenchman.
[02:51:53]  He's very big on X, fantastic follow for geopolitics.
[02:51:57]  He actually told a really interesting story because he said, I'm from France.
[02:52:01]  And that's actually what we did, right?
[02:52:02]  In France, we actually forbade all of these local languages in France and basically said everybody must speak the Parisian language.
[02:52:09]  We actually got to the point where if you were speaking your local French language, You know, we would make you wear like a sign and shame you.
[02:52:15]  We make you walk down the street and actually shame you in the village.
[02:52:18]  It's like, oh, you're like, you know, you are not one of us.
[02:52:21]  And it's like, none of that's happening in China, right?
[02:52:23]  Like I mentioned, there's 300 languages.
[02:52:25]  You know, you go all over China, there's so many different dialects and things being spoken.
[02:52:29]  But again, you know, you have to have a national language that unifies the people.
[02:52:34]  It's something that every country has.
[02:52:36]  Every country has a national language.
[02:52:37]  Well, I guess not every country because the United States don't have an official one.
[02:52:41]  Someone here, I said, American women are insufferable, horror the Chinese women are the feminine, docile, submissive.
[02:52:48]  You know, it depends on where you go.
[02:52:49]  Shanghainese women are considered very tough.
[02:52:52]  You know, in the Shanghainese household, the man always cooks and cleans.
[02:52:56]  No, right.
[02:52:57]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:52:57]  The Shanghainese women are.
[02:52:59]  So, where should they go for like the submissive women then?
[02:53:02]  You know, I mean, I can't give you a region for submissive women.
[02:53:06]  I mean, everybody's a little bit different, but you know, Chinese women are, you know, I mean, I think anywhere in the world, you're going to be able to find beautiful women that are, you know, make great partners.
[02:53:14]  And there's China's no exception to that.
[02:53:16]  You know, there are many beautiful women there and many, you know, kind, Kind women that make great wives.
[02:53:22]  I've married a Chinese woman as well, and she's fantastic.
[02:53:26]  What's China's relationship like with Israel?
[02:53:29]  Great question.
[02:53:31]  China has a relationship with Israel.
[02:53:34]  They recognize them, right?
[02:53:35]  They definitely recognize them, but they definitely do not support the situation in Gaza.
[02:53:41]  There was a really good clip of a Chinese diplomat meeting with an Israeli diplomat, and the Chinese diplomat called him right out.
[02:53:48]  He said, What you're doing is you're killing women and children in Gaza.
[02:53:51]  This is a genocide.
[02:53:52]  Of course, the Israeli came back and said, No, no, no, we're like the most, you know, oh, self defense, we're the most like moral army, yeah, yeah, we're the most moral army in the world.
[02:54:01]  We don't, we only target terrorists.
[02:54:03]  He's like, No, that's nonsense.
[02:54:04]  You target women and children, so they're definitely not on board with that.
[02:54:06]  They definitely support Palestine as well, for sure.
[02:54:08]  They're 100% about that.
[02:54:10]  I saw WeChat, someone was telling me on WeChat, it's overwhelmingly like pro Palestine, and they 100%, yeah, 100%.
[02:54:15]  Yeah, I mean, because the thing is, is you have to realize that, um, you know, the Chinese are they they they know the United States history around the world and the conflicts that we've started.
[02:54:28]  The amount of regime change operations.
[02:54:30]  This is why, for example, if anybody were to attack China in the sense of like, hey, I hope the Communist Party fails and we can bring American democracy to China, that 99.99% of Chinese would say, absolutely hell no, get the hell out of my country.
[02:54:47]  They saw Iraq, they saw everything.
[02:54:49]  Then they see Iran now.
[02:54:50]  Yeah.
[02:54:52]  I mean, when have we launched an air campaign that has resulted in an actual regime change that's been successful?
[02:54:58]  When have we actually won a war?
[02:55:00]  When's the last time the United States actually went to war and actually came across victorious?
[02:55:03]  I mean, Vietnam in every stretch of the imagination was a strategic failure for the United States military.
[02:55:09]  I remember meeting with a former Marine who served in Vietnam and he said, You know, I went to Saigon.
[02:55:14]  It's called Saigon.
[02:55:15]  It's not called Ho Chi Minh.
[02:55:16]  We won that war.
[02:55:17]  I'm like, Actually, it's called Ho Chi Minh City.
[02:55:19]  And if you didn't know, it's still the Communist Party in Vietnam.
[02:55:22]  We didn't win the war, dude.
[02:55:23]  You can pretend all you want, but you're living in denial.
[02:55:25]  And, you know, it's just, you know, just call a spade a spade, right?
[02:55:29]  Just say what it is.
[02:55:30]  You know, we got our butts kicked there.
[02:55:32]  And we didn't achieve anything after 18 years, and we left exactly like we did in Afghanistan 60k gone.
[02:55:38]  But no, Cyrus, thank you so much for coming on, man.
[02:55:40]  Where can the people find you?
[02:55:41]  Yeah, so you can follow me on X.
[02:55:44]  It's just Cyrus Jansen if you just type that in.
[02:55:48]  And also, you can find me on YouTube, Cyrus Jansen as well.
[02:55:51]  So, just my name.
[02:55:52]  I just keep it simple.
[02:55:53]  But yeah, my earnest.
[02:55:54]  It's been a pleasure.
[02:55:54]  I know we've been chatting for like weeks trying to get this lined up.
[02:55:58]  Yeah, no, I'm glad that we did it, man.
[02:55:59]  And like I said before, I wanted to kind of just show the other perspective with China because it's something that honestly, a lot of Americans never get exposed to, never get to see.
[02:56:08]  And I do think that we have quite a bit of anti China propaganda out there.
[02:56:12]  And I think that our government is lying to us a bit when it comes to China and their power and how quickly they're catching up to us.
[02:56:16]  And I want to bring people up to speed and let them realize, like, hey, man, we don't live in a unipolar world anymore.
[02:56:21]  It's multipolar.
[02:56:22]  Yeah, no, I couldn't agree more.
[02:56:24]  And, you know, if you're interested in following China, I'm going back in about three weeks' time.
[02:56:28]  I'll be there for the summer.
[02:56:29]  Sweet.
[02:56:29]  I'm going to be recording a lot of videos on the ground in China, you know, kind of showcasing exactly what more people want to see, right?
[02:56:35]  They want to see the street vlogs, they want to see tours of the factories, they want to see, you know, all of these sites from the cities and kind of, You know, speaking with locals, trying to really showcase like what the hell's going on in China in 2026.
[02:56:46]  Well, follow the YouTube channel.
[02:56:47]  We're going to bring you there.
[02:56:48]  Absolutely, man.
[02:56:49]  Thank you so much for coming on, man.
[02:56:50]  And guys, go check them out.
[02:56:51]  I watch the channel all the time.
[02:56:52]  It's great stuff, especially if you guys want to kind of get the truth on China.
[02:56:55]  And I do think that a lot of places get it wrong where they put out a little bit of propaganda.
[02:56:58]  So go check them out, guys.
[02:57:00]  Cyrus Jansen.
[02:57:00]  Thank you, dude, for coming on.
[02:57:01]  Appreciate you, brother.
[02:57:02]  Take care.
[02:57:02]  Thank you.
[02:57:05]  All right.
[02:57:06]  Cool, cool, cool.
[02:57:08]  Let me get my camera back on and just give me one sec.
[02:57:14]  Like I told y'all, man, we are diversified over here, chat.
[02:57:16]  We are diversified.
[02:57:19]  We're diversified.
[02:57:21]  Shout out to Cyrus W Interview for sure.
[02:57:27]  Let me read some of these chats, though, because some of them piled up here.
[02:57:30]  Let me make sure I don't miss them, and then we're going to continue on with the broadcast.
[02:57:33]  We're going to cover the news here in a little bit.
[02:57:38]  Sorry if you're back to calling Mark Levin a fat Jay Cuck.
[02:57:41]  Okay.
[02:57:42]  Wait, one more question.
[02:57:43]  Did you ever play RuneScape?
[02:57:44]  I never did.
[02:57:45]  Alejandro Mares, trick for you boys buy a dog, make her fall in love with the dog, but put the dog in your name, and no matter what, the dog will be tied to you.
[02:57:54]  So tell her to shut the fuck up, or you and the dog will stay in line after that.
[02:57:58]  Oh, man.
[02:57:59]  El China from Josie.
[02:58:00]  Okay.
[02:58:01]  Well, you're from, you're Jewish, so whatever.
[02:58:03]  BYD's four story parking lot went up in flames two weeks ago.
[02:58:07]  Okay.
[02:58:08]  I think it's important to remember China is still building heaps of coal, fire powered stations, and it is using it for cheap baseload power.
[02:58:19]  Okay.
[02:58:20]  Is it true that they are putting Muslims in the camps?
[02:58:22]  That's why I asked them how tariffs are affecting China, if at all.
[02:58:24]  Talked about that.
[02:58:26]  Question for you guys Do you believe China and the U.S. will continue business and relations?
[02:58:29]  I'll answer that one, bro.
[02:58:30]  Of course.
[02:58:31]  We need them a lot.
[02:58:32]  Some personal feedback on tariffs I paid tariff six figures in iPhone, Samsung, iPhone import.
[02:58:36]  It's hurt.
[02:58:37]  Damn.
[02:58:38]  Speedy.
[02:58:38]  One thing I've noticed about Chinese is that they are only the group of people that can adapt to any society and are able to assimilate quickly.
[02:58:44]  That's absolutely true.
[02:58:45]  They're very good at that.
[02:58:46]  They'll speak, learn another language, and everything.
[02:58:47]  Kinetic.
[02:58:48]  If China's so awesome, then why do they want to come to our country, but no one wants to move there?
[02:58:51]  A lot of people want to move to China, just not Americans.
[02:58:54]  Kinetic.
[02:58:54]  Why does China send fentanyl to George Floyd?
[02:58:56]  Good question.
[02:58:57]  Question, Cyrus.
[02:58:58]  American women.
[02:58:58]  Oh, yeah.
[02:58:59]  We answered that one.
[02:58:59]  Rising tides, all slaves to China.
[02:59:01]  Okay.
[02:59:01]  CHF says, or CFH says, you should get Sir Panza on for a talk about China.

=== Switching To Kick Platform (06:36) ===

[02:59:07]  Get the other side of the story.
[02:59:08]  He has a channel, 1.59 mils.
[02:59:09]  Okay.
[02:59:11]  Let's see here.
[02:59:13]  Read that one.
[02:59:14]  I sent myself to 20 lashings and 10 hours in the field for a misbehavior.
[02:59:19]  Okay.
[02:59:19]  It's okay.
[02:59:19]  You're fine.
[02:59:20]  I heard there are 300 languages spoken in Taiwan.
[02:59:23]  Question for Sir, do the Chinese believe in race mixing?
[02:59:25]  Probably not, dude.
[02:59:27]  Debbie interview, Myron.
[02:59:27]  I really appreciate the enlightenment on China, and no one else is doing what you're doing on the internet.
[02:59:31]  Thank you.
[02:59:31]  Yo, bro, I'm telling you, man.
[02:59:32]  I'm about it.
[02:59:34]  We describe China's characteristics as their own form of national socialism?
[02:59:38]  Probably, yeah.
[02:59:40]  Last one.
[02:59:42]  Translation with Israel, we answered that one.
[02:59:43]  In China, ban religion for children under 18.
[02:59:46]  Why can't parents raise their children in their own religion?
[02:59:50]  I don't know what that is.
[02:59:51]  Okay.
[02:59:53]  Let's see what else we got here.
[02:59:55]  How's this camera?
[02:59:57]  Man, I still got to fix this shit.
[02:59:58]  Still being stupid, I see.
[03:00:01]  The focus is being retarded.
[03:00:02]  All right, let's go ahead.
[03:00:03]  We're going to shift on over, guys, to the news.
[03:00:07]  Okay.
[03:00:10]  So James Comey got indicted again.
[03:00:14]  Okay, guys.
[03:00:15]  Federal grand jury indicts former FBI Director James Comey for threats to harm President Trump.
[03:00:19]  And I think they did this, guys, because obviously what happened with the ballroom, right?
[03:00:25]  So a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina today returned an indictment charging former FBI Director James Comey with making threats to harm the president.
[03:00:33]  So here's the indictment right here.
[03:00:34]  Okay, count one.
[03:00:37]  Honor about May 15, 2025, in the Eastern District of North Carolina, the defendant James Brian Comey Jr. did knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of andor inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States.
[03:00:48]  Right?
[03:00:48]  Because he put, remember, guys, he did the Instagram post with the C-cells arranged in 8647.
[03:00:54]  Reasonable recipient who's familiar with the circumstance will interpret it as a serious expression of an intent to harm the President of the United States.
[03:01:05]  For those of you that don't know who James Comey is, let me go ahead and pull him up real quick because I realize that not everybody might be as politically inclined.
[03:01:11]  So, James Comey, guys, aka Jim Comey, American lawyer, was the seventh director of the FBI from 2013 until his termination in May 2017, obviously under Trump.
[03:01:27]  He was there under the Obama administration.
[03:01:30]  Okay.
[03:01:32]  So, here's the indictment.
[03:01:36]  And then count two on or about May 15, 2025, in Eastern District of North Carolina, defendant James Brian Comey Jr., Knowingly and willfully did transmit in an interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the president, specifically by publicly posting a photograph on the internet social media site Instagram, which depicted seashells arranged in a pattern out of 8647, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstance would interpret as a serious expression of intent to harm President Trump.
[03:02:03]  So, this is a title violation of Title 18875C.
[03:02:08]  So, let's go ahead and take a look at the statute, actually, 18USC.
[03:02:11]  Because if you guys remember, he's not getting the main one, okay?
[03:02:16]  It seems as the other guy got.
[03:02:20]  They're only hitting him with two counts.
[03:02:32]  Who did the case?
[03:02:34]  Okay, 18 U.S.C. A71A.
[03:02:36]  So these are the two charges he got.
[03:02:38]  So these are charges a lot of times, guys, that they hit with the Secret Service.
[03:02:41]  So 1871, right?
[03:02:43]  Transmitting a threat in interstate commerce in violation of 18 U.S.C. A75.
[03:02:50]  So, this is the charge that the Secret Service always charged people with.
[03:02:53]  Let me see who took this.
[03:02:54]  Who did this case?
[03:02:56]  Okay, FBI.
[03:02:58]  And they did a press conference on it right here.
[03:03:03]  Two counts.
[03:03:04]  The first count is that North Carolina returned an.
