The second, a Croatian national former hedge fund. manager, author, and contributing editor at ZeroHedge. I'm talking about Tom Luongo and Alex Criner. So buckle up. Here we go. Welcome to the Sean Newman podcast. Today I'm joined by Tom, Longo, Alex Traynor, for the 17th time. I don't even know why I keep track of that.

I guess it's more fun for me on this end. FYI. Let's make this my favorite show because 17 is my favorite number. It is not. Really? It is too. You know, honestly, why do you think my Twitter handle is TFL 1728?

28. Well, it's funny because somewhere, Jamie Sinclair, who you've been on with, one of the military boys from Saskatchew, his number 17. And as soon as I said it, I'm like, oh, Jamie's going to be texting me immediately. And of course, it's Tom's favorite number. Alex, is it your favorite number two? Do you care about numbers? Oh, yeah. All right.

Well, leave it to Alex. Okay. I'm just going to start here. I'm gonna you guys are doing this so much. I can't keep up with the two of you now. You know, when we first started, I felt like I could listen to pretty much a huge chunk of what you two were doing. Obviously, I didn't know who either of you were.

And then, you know, you go back to episode one and I bring you together. And then since then, it's like, I just find you popping up everywhere. So you've probably talked this through 18 times, but let's just go back to it anyways. Ukraine hits Russia with missiles.

You know, are they little rockets? Is it a big deal? I don't know. I'm sure at this point, we all sit here and go, Putin's going to just hold firm and wait for Donald Trump. But I heard somebody else talk about it, and I'm spacing on who it was.

And it was we're asking Putin to do something the United States of America would never do. Like if you got hit by a bottle rocket by the wrong country, the U.S. would go full on blitzkrieg mode. Here we are sitting, waiting for Donald Trump to get in, expecting nothing to happen through all these. crazy things you know like them hitting them with with the the missiles and then you russia retaliates and they're talking about or while they've lowered the threshold on on on using nuclear and on and on gents have at her yeah alex all right i'll go first because i think i just worked it out today and

so here's here's what i think is going to happen between now and january 20th or 22nd what is it 20th 20th okay uh so there's They're sending these long-range rocket attacks into Russia, which are not really long-range, but they've changed the war's framework, right? They've changed the paradigm into an all-out war between the Western Russia, between NATO and Russia. The British have been pretty open about what they're doing, which is not characteristic. They like to do things hidden. They like to hide their game. And they like to kind of maneuver their allies into doing their dirty work,

i.e. the United States, Poland, Ukraine, and so forth. This time, they're being out in the open. They're showing their hand. Russia will not fall into their provocation. But they know that too. So what they will do instead is they're going to do

a very publicly visible attack into Russia. They're going to ramp up the talking points. Putin is threatening. Putin is doing this. Putin is doing that. And then they're going to orchestrate a false flag attack, which is going to be pretty spectacular, and the target is going

to be the city of London. I mean, the city, the metropolitan area, not necessarily the city, the city, but London. Because guess what? Since the 3rd of September of this year, so 84 days ago, all of the webcams in London have gone dark. What could possibly be the reason? The reason is because webcams could show the logistics of the false leg attack. You know, the trucks coming and going, shipping out the gold, shipping in the explosives, this and that, whatever it be. And so they all went dark.

And I think that the only explain, okay, so there's hundreds. There's hundreds of webcams all across London. And not a single one of them is operational at this time. That is, you know, like, I didn't check all of them. But there's a gentleman. I'll make a, I'll make a post about this probably tomorrow. But a gentleman who posted a video on YouTube checked hundreds of these webcams. and he said that none of them had any updates since the 3rd September of this year.

And so to my mind, the Brits are preparing a spectacular false flag attack. They're going to blame it on Russia. They're going to say like, aha, you know, Putin responded with a nuke, with a dirty bomb, with whatever. And then it's going to be full on war. And I think, think that we need to front run this because you know what happens after a false flag is from that moment on the emotions run high and then you have a ripe situation for creating a mass formation psychosis and mass formation psychosis we we lived it it was with COVID right and I think that Israel is living it right now they're in the in the midst of a in the midst of a of a genocidal trance because they're in that stage.

I think that if we don't front run it, we could find ourselves in World War III before Trump is inaugurated. And I think that such an event could also prevent Trump from being inaugurated. There you go. Alex, I think that that dovetails with what I laid out yesterday on Mike Barris' show with Lieutenant Colonel Steve Mercer.

We talked about this exact thing and I said, I'm seeing a similar thing. I didn't have the surveillance cameras all across London. That's even more confirmatory that something is going on. I saw over the weekend that the British were pulling all their frigates, all their whole Navy back home. Okay, so let's let's know now. Now, why is that important? Well, because I was game-pinding.

I was game-pounding this up out with Dexter White yesterday morning before that show. And, you know, we looked at this and we said, okay, clearly Russia's response within intermediate range ballistic missile or whatever you want to call it. Dexter and I are not just calling them, you know, XBMs, right? Whatever the, whatever the range is irrelevant. It's that their ballistic missiles are some type or another. You put, you strap certain payload on it. You sort of strap a certain rocket to it, you know, to a certain rocket.

And you can, you can throw whatever weight in whatever range you want. So what the Russians through the other day was a statement, I think. And I think that, look, we're not angry with the United States. We know that they're not the, they're not ultimately behind this. The report that Biden authorized that, you know, the usual. of attack them to attack Russia, it was bullshit. That came from the bowels of the intelligence agencies. The New York Times, you know, seriously.

The New York Times is a wholly unsubsidiary of the CIA, which is in many ways a wholly unsubsidiary of MI6 and the Mossad. So now, you know, it works for the intelligence agencies. And you can't get any corroboration of this order. And Biden is nowhere to be found. So, again, going back to what I tweeted out, literally the day after he made this announcement right before the the attack actually happened last monday i said look this is to make any sense and what i said was they're they're setting up for a

a 25th amendment uh removal of Biden from office for not being um they're they're setting up for that because that that chatter started immediately so the the report goes out on a sunday on Monday they start the chatter, they start seating out that Biden's unstable. You gave me, get Brett Weinstein saying he should be 25th Amendment out, amendmented out. And on Tuesday, attack happens. And then after that, the Russians respond. So now we move up the escalatory framework. Kitt Clarenberg over at the Gray Zone, publishes a couple of banger fucking articles about

Project Alchemy in General Strickland, literally telling us what the fucking playbook has been, like chapter and verse about what's going to happen here. No different than what the British did in the world world world world world world world one and two same thing. So now and then I went over it and you know Dexter in our conversation focused on the technical aspects of what was sent what rocket systems are available what payloads what this what that because that's his as he put it to me and it's like that's my pathology I can't help myself. My guy I play world of work wrap do you do this shit.

So and then I came back then and I said okay well that's all important. information, but politically, what message did Russia send? It sent a message saying, look, we know where the order came from. We know who's responsible for this. We only threw something that mattered to, that can't reach the United States. We have told you what a new weapon system looks like. And that weapon system, we're prepared to use it. We've prepared to show the world that we have it. And we're prepared to use it against Europe, not the United States. Stay out of this. We'll take care of the problem. We know where the problem lies.

And this is part of Putin's rhetoric going back two and a half years now, separating out the Anglo-Saxons from the Americans, right? I said, and, you know, and in our conversation, you know, we had the game plan it all out. And he said, well, you know, Dexter said to me, well, if you're correct about this, then, and the thing is that these project alchemy guys, I think believe this is important, that they believe they have one more move than Putin does. That they're that they're spiraling towards endgame and checkmate on their

little game board, their little chessboard. They believe they can get the checkmate one move before Putin does and force him into a situation where he throws a nuke and in a way that will then justify the West going crazy and trying to get rid of him and turning him into poodleer. That's what they believe. I don't believe that they have as many. any moves as they think they have. I think they're running a bluff. I think they're pushing their chips all in. They think they have the nuts when Putin does, right? Putin has one more move. He doesn't have to do what they're going to do. So then, but in case they do not have the move they think they have, what would they do? Well, what the next, and Dexter was very smart. He said,

look, if the Russians are willing to throw this weapon and show it to the world, then what they're saying is in order to stop this thing dead cold they would hit a military target because they've all the Russians have all but said where it were with the United Kingdom right so if that's the case then it will be if they if they escalate again they throw something at you know St. Petersburg or they or they try and degrade Russia's nuclear triad which is their goal I think the whole point of the curse invasion from a strategic perspective is they thought they have the British and the Ukrainians think they have intelligence which says they know where part of Russia's nuclear triad is i.e. their bombers and if they can get those bombers then they would force Putin

with a degradation of his nuclear triad to force him to make a the catastrophic move right now one let's hope that that's what they think that that intelligence is false. I'll set that aside for a second. But the right response for Russia would be to hit definitively with a tack nuke or a nuclear warhead or whatever sink a British ship. Because that is the way you guarantee there are no civilian casualties. This is still a fully military thing. And it doesn't happen on the territory of a NATO country. invoking article,

forcing everybody to decide whether or not they're going to invoke Article 5 or not. Now, that's why I think, that's why. And so we did game planning that out. And I said, well, I just read over the weekend that the British were pulling all their ships back. And he said, bingo, they're pulling all their ships back to force Putin to hit civilians to get the escalation that they want.

And Alex just gave us the piece of that piece of the puzzle. Wait, I'm not finished yet. This is fucking important. So, like, it's crazy when you think, when you think this through now go back to the 25th Amendment. How are they going to get the United States? If Biden made a deal with Trump and the reason that they're down that's going down this escalatory path is because Biden made a deal to allow Trump to take office and end all this shit and Biden's going to be able to keep somewhat of his legacy. That's all he cares about. Then you have to get rid of Biden installed Kamala Harris in a Christmas 1913 style fucking coup like they did to get.

get the 16th, 17th amendments through and the Federal Reserve Act. That's what they're fucking planning. I can smell it. And Alex just gave me the friggin number. So this gave me the final piece of the puzzle. So that's what they're going to do. That's what they're preparing for. That's why the Senate's still in session, even though they should have already gone home

the fucking year. And they're going to drag this shit out every day in order to get to that point where they can get what they need. And then Bob's your uncle. That's what they're going to do. And though install Kamala Harris. do the false flag blame it on Russia nuke London

not like any of these people give a fuck about Britons they all hate the they all hate their their constituency anyway look at the look what Kirstarmer's doing like how much how much does the British oligarchy leadership hate their people

like they're not going to sacrifice them all anyway so as far as they're concerned these people are all they just see dead people anyway But if they can get what they want, and they're doing this because the financial markets are literally on the verge of melting down because if Trump takes power, we can get into that side of this. I've already like game planned out. Oh, that shit out. As Alex and I pointed out in multiple previous podcasts about how dangerous a situation it is for city of London itself and for the Bank of England and and everybody there. This is their existential moment. This is when they lose everything.

And you don't need to have Putin respond. You just have to make it look like Putin responded. And then he kills a whole bunch of frigging civilians, you know, no different than MH17, no different than Scripall, no different than Boucher, no different than, you know, trying to frame Assad for, you know, the chemical weapons attacks of Syria, blah, blah, blah, nothing changes with these people. And so, yeah, we have to get ahead of this. Alex is completely right.

We need to get that into the zeit guys as much as possible. And I can tell you that Steve Murray and I did that podcast yesterday where I laid most of this out. It was up on YouTube for three hours before they took it down. Oh, no way. They took it down? Yep, three hours. Oh, dude.

There you go. There's another confirmation that you're right over the target. Well, you know, here's, okay. So let's say, Putin wanted to strike a military, target that and avoid civilian casualties and that military target could not be moved back to behind human shields in England in London, he could strike a British military base on Cyprus. You know, that would be an option. That is not.

Yeah. But, you know, the problem here is that there, as I see it, if I were, if I were sitting in Kremlin, there are two things you can, well, you know, there are two things to diffuse this, this thing. or to not find yourself in an unpredictable escalation that you no longer have control of. One is we front run it and we diffuse it in this way because people now expect it. So the whole emotional impact and the mass formation psychosis elements are doused. Yes. Not to mention people will be paying attention for it.

Right? Like one of the things on election night, how many people were filming every truck that went everywhere being like, what is this? Right? Because of the years before. Yeah. No different than the leak about Israel's plans to attack a lot.

There you go. There you go. Exactly. And then the second, the second option, And this is, you know, in Russia's court, is that they actually front run the scenario by launching a real attack. So they drop a thing like this new missile, Reschnik on all the NATO strategic targets that would severely weaken NATO's ability to fight Russia. And that would be, you know, a large NATO military bases, weapons depots, and importantly, the ports like Bremenhap and Hamburg, Marseille. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And then pulverize them like they pulverized the facility in Neapro-Pedrosk. if you do if you do that scenario Alex though doesn't that pull all a NATO win and then my only other question was going to be on the ships Tom you talk about hitting a British ship and that wouldn't pull all a NATO in why is that why is hitting a British ship different because article 5 is about the territory

and it's you and here and and and and the thing is is that article 5 is not mandatory that's the other thing that people forget so if the British are lobbying fucking missiles openly into Russia's territory and the Russians turn around and sink a British frigid or whatever. Like no one is going to be out. Every reason about like, yeah, you deserve that shit. Like, fuck you. You attacked Russia. What did you expect to happen? Oh, we expected the United States to come and beat the Russians up for us. Yeah, fuck off, asshole. The bully just went home.

Like, you tried, you tried shaking me down for my lunch money and, you know, oh, by. by the way, the bully's not there. Look behind you. It's all this is, at the end of the day. It's all this shit is. It's just, you know, we've all lived under this scenario. We've all dealt with this crap. And so, yes, Alex, hitting something like Cyprus or something on, hitting a British military base.

Yeah, yeah. But I mean, in the, you know, I was just saying that as an option, you know, like why they're, you know, if they're pulling their ships, they can't pull in their bases. but I think that if Russia decided, because, you know, like, there's a logic, like, if you can't avoid a fight, then you preserve an advantage if you throw the first punch. Of course. That's what Putin did February 2020. That would be an Article 5 event. But, you know, in that case, Russia would go not with kid gloves as they did against Ukraine.

They would go all out, not nuclear, but with these. the new missile system that would pulverize NATO military bases and weapons depots and logistics centers and command centers and so forth. And I think that, you know, for a good measure, if I can, if I can throw in a musical wish, I think, don't, don't forget the MI6 headquarters either. Right. Well, you know, and I can tell you that, okay, so there's two things. One, yes, sadly, I agree with you that that would be the right move. And Putin's already shown that he's willing to throw the first punch, which is why we're in in the situation we're in today,

because you know, you can't avoid a fight. Go first, dude. Like, it's the first rule of any martial arts tournament. Like, you want to score the point, go first. You want to win the sparring match, go first. Like, you know, the aggressor sets to tempo, and then you put the other guy on the back foot, on their back foot. Here's some countervailing information that tells you.

you that maybe the sainter heads are prevailing. One, the following very closely, the internal fight politically inside Germany since the government, quote, unquote, since the FTP pulled out of the coalition

and now they're, there's, you know, there's wrangling as to who's going to, you know, run for office and, you know, when they're going to have snap elections and everything else. It was a real big, real, real, big fucking push by the British. to put this guy, Pistorius in charge of the SPD and get rid of Olaf Scholes. Olaas-Shulls has survived.

Frederick Mears, the head of the CDU, Merkel's part, former party, was out there screaming, Russia, you have 24 hours to, like, leave Ukraine or, you know, and then, you know, he's been ratcheting up the rhetoric. Same thing with the Greens, all ratcheting up the rhetoric. All these people were all either trained or are owned by fucking city of London and MI6, every goddamn one of them. So that's one on that side of the that then they've been there for the last couple of weeks attempting to shift German politics towards war and behind the scenes was very obvious that Gerhard Schroeder the former CEO the former chancellor and the CEO of the Nord Stream 2 consortium that got the pipeline built that who's the guy who brokered the deal between Gazprom and the five oil majors to get the pipeline built. He's been, I know that he has been behind the scenes attempting to de-escalate all of this shit for three years now.

And I see the dead hand. I see his hand backing Olaf Scholes and telling Scholes, you go for peace and try to broker peace. Because if anybody would be the conduit, the communications conduit between the Russians and the Germans, it would be Schroeder. because they thrush rotor. And so Olaf Scholes surviving the leadership challenge for the SPD in Germany is telling you

that cooler heads are prevailing in Germany. In France, not so much. In the UK, not so much. In Italy, absolutely. George Mollone has played this beautifully and brilliantly. Any support she sent to you Ukraine didn't work.

Metaphorically speaking, she gave them Italian submarines and Italian rifles that have never been fired and only shot one and only dropped once. Okay. So the Italians know how to play that game as well. And she's been, she's very brilliantly set herself up. So, and she and my breed is a proxy for the U.S. military. because the country with the most military bases in Europe, U.S. military bases in Europe is not Germany. It's not Poland.

It's not Italy. We have 100 fucking bases in Italy. And George Maloney is still in power because she has the backing of the U.S. military. So Ursula Bonderland at the EU can go out there and spout all this crap that she's told to spout. because of the Gant chart over at evil Corp Central and Macron can you know play big man with his Napoleon complex and Kier-Sarmor can you know act like you know he runs anything um but the truth of the matter is that everybody can see what's happening now and um we'll see this could be the time when the British play their hand yeah and they go all in and no one's there to back

them up. Don't get me wrong. The two scenarios that I proposed, it's not that I'm hoping that that happens. I'm just saying those are to my mind the two hypothetical alternatives to either diffuse the situation or, you know, from Russia's point of view, to grab the reins and and throw the first punch. If there's no avoiding it. And, you know, if they, if they launch a false flag attack, then there is no avoiding it.

Yeah. No, I know. I know. And that's the thing we all have to worry about. And if they can execute a coup inside the United States to get the United States to back this play. That, all these moving parts, folks. But you can see it like, you've got 55 days to get this done. Yeah, you got a, you got to, or whatever it is.

It's, you know, when you talk about where, where you started Alex with the attack on London, you know, like, I go back to earlier podcast way, way, way, way back in the, in the archives. I interviewed a guy and I asked him, you know, what was your red pill moment? Like, what was your moment? Yeah, yeah. You thought something was off. And he said 9-11. And I was expecting, you know, building seven or, well, heck, you know, something along that lines. And his answer was the way it made him feel because he wanted to go kill everyone.

And I'm like, oh, I don't remember that. I was probably too young. I remember being nervous and whatever, right? But as an older man, witnessing your countrymen being killed, you can imagine the response that it would listen. So, you know, I guess sitting on this side, I've been staring at this going, you know, if you really want to suck us all in, you just have to do something horrific that, logic no longer works because people don't care. There's dead people. There's dead families and kids and civilians.

And it's an attack. It's not even so exceptional. I mean, practically every big war is started with the false flag attack. You know, we had the with the Lusitania, the Gulf of Tonkin. Yeah. It's just like. The liberty, like all of these things. Yeah.

I, in many ways, Fort Sumter was a frigging false flag. There you go. Yeah, that one too. Lying us into war, I'm saying it's 25 years. What you're lying us in the war is a time-honored presidential tradition,

which is why I, when 9-11 happened for me, my, literally, I don't know if I've ever told you guys this story, but you know, on 9-11, you know, I'm sitting at my desk at the University of Florida. One of the other laboratory managers comes by

and like this, Bob's saying, You want to see something cool? They flew planes into the World Trade Center. He was weird little man. And I went, oh, my God. And then I didn't actually watch it. I just sat back in my chair and went, oh, fuck. And then they sent us home.

My wife, Camille and I were in the process of buying a car, right, at that time. And we just dealt with the whole thing by checking out. And we went car shopping and with the afternoon that we were giving off. And I was at the Nissan dealership in Gainesville. And making them literally like they had the, I wanted to drive the car that they had on the showroom floor. So they had like open up the whole thing and pull the car out. And while I'm waiting for that, I finally got to see the footage. And I'm standing there next to the salesman who wants to sell me a car.

I wound up not buying that car. And I saw the footage for the first time and I just leaned over to him. I said, you know, I will not be surprised of our government were the ones that flew the planes into the building. And of course, he was horrified by what I said, but he wanted to sell me a car. I'm surprised he didn't throw me out of the, his desire to sell me a car overrode his disgust of my cynicism. FYN. The true story, no lie. And the car.

And the reason why it was a. It was a blue X-Tera, 2009, 2001 with a manual transmission. And I wanted to drive the manual transmission. So you all who know me know well that, you know, that story's true because I wanted to drive a car with a manual transmission. It was the only one on the lot and happened to be on the shore report. Yeah. And then remember what happened on that day also, you know, miraculously somehow, all the, all the surveillance cameras that were pointing at the Pentagon,

just lost, you know, like all the tapes disappeared or whatever, you know, whatever. And they just happened to hit the one, the one room at the Pentagon where all of the specific information, come on. Yeah. Pull the other like. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. But, you know, like, that's where we are now.

And I think probably as we speak, people from MI6 CIA, the Mossad, are busily, are busily, planning and preparing. Well, I had, I've had a strange or interesting, depending on how you look at it, series of interviews. You know, I had Dr. Jack Cruz. We all watched him on Danny Jones, I think. And he lays out in, you know, a pretty long form of like how things are interconnected and tied to one another.

And then I had on Kevin Schip, he was a 17 years with the CIA, turned, whistleblowers. And like, you know, I sit here and I listen all this. And at times, if you just got, if you just stumbled into this show, you're going, what the hell is going on? And I would really push you to go back and listen to all 17, because I think you'll slowly start to see what's happening. And the thing I was saying to Kevin Schep, you know, we talk about the Massab, we

talked about the CIA, we talk about all these MI6, we talk about all these agencies. The thing about the CIA in particular, that maybe I didn't really, you know, we talked about the didn't realize up until he said it was they have signed into their their founding document plausible deniability so they basically have zero rules they can go do whatever they want as long as they have plausible deniability for the white house and my question to kevin chip and i guess my question you two is like how do you fight that when when they have all the money in the world they got all the tech in the world and they are constantly using it i think you know like I think somewhere along this conversation, you talk about exposing them,

or maybe that was you and Murray. I've been listening to too much of Longo Crater, Murray, and all the different characters. Because along this journey, I've stumbled into, you know, coffee and a mic and different people, crypto-rich, right, all these different characters in the podcasting world that are fantastic from different parts of, well, different countries. But I look at it and I go, like, we're fighting an animal or a beast or whatever you want to call it in the CIA and other.

three-letter agencies that almost have a bottomless pit of money of resources, et cetera, et et cetera. And we're seeing it in real time. Are we not? And then the question is, how does the common person deal with that? I think that the only way you can deal with it is by doing exactly what we're doing here now. You need to pay attention and you have to speak out. Research and speak out. Warn your friend. You know, everybody's got Facebook, X, Instagram, whatever.

warn your friends. Talk about it. To your friends, to your neighbors, to your schoolmates, to your office mates, to your, whoever, talk about this because that's the only way for us to preempt

the mass psychosis effect. And to understand that if it's happened, it's not a given. that the event should be blamed on Russia because that's what they're going to run with. And we have to know that, yeah, maybe not. Maybe it's you all assholes.

Yeah, no, I remember this is a generation, or two generations now of people that have grown up. And I give the man a lot of shit because I disagree with them politically. But Alan Moore, who wrote Watchman back in the 1980s. And then Zach Snyder, who made the movie. And a lot of people have, are hip to the joke as it were. Now, in Allen Moore story as they faked an alien invasion to bring the world together in a mass formation psychosis to end world war. Right. And nuclear war to stop a nuclear war.

But it was a nuclear war that was fomented, the potential for a nuclear war fomented on false grounds. Right. And while the setup for Watchmen I don't agree with, which is that we need some kind of, you know, Superman to keep Russia and the United States from Lobben, nukes at each other. The reality is that it's not Superman who is trying to keep, who is trying to push Russia and the United States into permanent conflict. This is a very kind of 80s, Cold War, leftist, fascist version of the leftist, anarchist version of reality. The quote, unquote, right-wing anarchist version of Watchman would have been to tell this story that we've told this morning. that it's no, really, it's not a product of fascism versus communism or any of these other isms that don't matter. It's, and we don't need a state to stop us or a Superman, a state. We're not

playing the stupid, you know, Hobbsy and dialectic of S keeps A and B from fighting each other because A and B are infinitely aggressive towards each other. That's not true. But in a sense, if you reframe it a little bit and you say, well, Dr. Manhattan and in watchman or S, is the United States trying to keep the infinitely aggressive Brits from attacking Russia, then maybe it does, maybe in that respect the Hobbesian, bullshit Hobbesian dialectic works. But then again, who are the people that keep promoting the idea of Hobbs is being a valid framework for human interaction?

The infinitely aggressive fucking shit bag marks is British. Exactly. Okay. So this whole thing at a psychological and philosophical level is all a yet another goddamn sciop. And that's what we have to. And Sean, you're absolutely right. The point is very well taken. I think I was, I mean, maybe I didn't give you credit for this, but I'm going to remind myself to do so now, not just keep moving the ball forward, but to remind myself that, oh, by the way, yes, you're absolutely right. That and Alex as well, we have to keep talking about this. We have to. have to keep trying to figure out ways of communicating it and getting the stuff percolating through the zeitgeist in such a way that we can resist that moment.

We can resist the bullshit and deal with the reality, which is that none of this is necessary. Not one bit of it. It's all manufactured for a bunch of people who at the end of the day are, are satanic, dopamine-addicted, crazy people who want to remain in power to torture their subjects with. These are people who enjoy pulling the legs off of spiders to see how they react. That's who they fucking are. Nothing more and nothing left.

They're the Nexus 6 Androids from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheet? There's that wonderful scene that every time, like, as for me, me as a 13-year-old reading that book for the first time and there's that moment where the where the the mentally impaired person and i'm not supposed to use the word retard is watching these androids these soulless androids playing with a spider and very clinically pulling the legs off of it and it's horrific he's he's horrified by it i remember as a 13-year-old being i'm like that we have to stop that that's the that that that needs to go away if that that that needs to stop that we cannot allow that we cannot allow that to become base reality for the world remember

remember the beagles getting their faces eaten by bugs and them removing the you know the fouchi experiment right right bug eating away the beagle's faces and they remove their vocal cords so they wouldn't annoy them with barking and yelp him in pain. Right. That's who we're dealing with. Yeah, we're dealing with people like that. That's who might win this round if we don't do absolutely everything in our power to prevent it from happening. And to Sean's point about them having effectively infinite money, they don't have infinite money.

No. But they may have enough money and power to win this round. But if they don't win this round, they will be bankrupt. That's what Alex and I have been trying to elucidate for people. We have the opportunity to beat them here. Because the engine of their wealth, they're cockroaches. They believe that all they have to do is take their wealth and move it to another area. They're locusts.

I've used that image before. These people are not vampires. They're locusts. Okay? They strip mine a place and then they move to the next place. place and they destroy it and they move to the next place and the next and the next and the next and the next. And being locusts, you don't allow them to take their wealth and scatter. Yep.

This time you have to make them put their money on the table, not our money. Every time in the past, in every version of this cycle over the last 350 years, 30 years, has been They use our money that they stole from us to play the game again. This time, China said no. China never opened their capital account. The United States is saying no, and they're closing their capital account. We're doing it a different way. We have to do it through SOFA, LIBOR, controlling the value of the dollar, everything.

That's the whole narrative that I've been talking about for three years now. the Russians exited, you know, were thrown out of their system and survive. The Iranians were thrown out of their system and survive. If he's for real, Habir Malay in Argentina is beginning to, you know, do the same thing. I don't, you know, I'm still not sold on the guy, but, you know, distrust but verify. But we'll see. Like, this is that moment. And if you look at everything that's being presented as, you know,

Donald Trump's cabinet. Donald Trump's cabinet is being designed to do exactly this, to root out that level of corruption within the federal government, present a relatively strong face on the foreign policy front for negotiating purposes to back the fuck away. That's what I think Trump is setting up. And in that scenario, you put a couple of crazy attack dogs in the foreign policy set but you control that with temper that with people like tulsie gabbard and and others then you put loyal people like ratcliffe in charge of the CIA to start taking out you know start really rooting out the corruption Alex you sound terrible are you sick who me yeah yeah yeah i am okay yeah i'm sorry i i feel like i could run over by truck uh i had a had a flu today is the first day

that I'm actually kind of functioning. But basically, what I wanted to say is that this, you know, the scenario that we're discussing today might be also part of the reason why Trump has put these vulgar barking dogs in their foreign policy, in his foreign policy, a lineup because the establishment is absolutely in a panic that they're going to lose Ukraine. And so they feel under pressure to escalate this. before he enters office.

And so, you know, to kind of put them at ease, he needs to show them people who appear that they will be promoting the exact same policy so that they think like, ah, you know, Sebastian Gorka, you know, Marco Rubio, we're going to be in control still. So we don't have to rush into some kind of a, you know, panicked escalation that we're going to be in control.

we didn't plan for yeah no i guess i guess no i i guess you know if because if you know like if the trump team were aware of these pressures and i i i don't see how they couldn't be uh then maybe that's why that's why he's got sebastian borka there and markerubio and all all of these people um to to further that point alex what did i say i wrote an article about the um about the the ukraine russia war a while ago i and why i I said, guys, how do you beat a superior opponent with more money and more power and more infrastructure and everything else? You keep allowing them to think they have an opportunity to win.

But then they will continue to commit resources to a losing cause. And over the course of time, you bleed them out. That's how wars of attrition. That's why wars of attrition work. So the Russians have done this to NATO by constantly thinking, oh, well, Russia's weak. and they're not really all that smart and then terrible combined arms and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they haven't really taken very much territory in two years

and they're inapt and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So let's commit more stuff because they're close. They're on the ropes. They're going to lose. And they keep thinking that. No, they're allowing you to think that. At any moment, the Russians can turn around and just mobilize 500,000 combat-ready troops

and overrun Ukraine tomorrow. I firmly believe they could do that. attacking from four different freaking directions out of Belarus, out of pushing through the Donbass and coming out of and even doing combined arms with naval assets out of Crimea, something the Russians have never proved in their entire history they're capable of doing. But, you know, if they're willing to throw a half million men at the problem,

it'll work at this point because it's just numbers. You know, saturation bombing, half a million dudes, NATO's got nothing. Other than going to Aida, other than them going to the, the, the, the, the, the, um, them going to the, um, them going to the escalatory framework that is unjustified. And then guess what? You win the propaganda war. And then ultimately, you win the war. Well, it, uh, you know, um, if you went four years ago, they said Russia was weak. and then a year later, Russia's weak and they're losing. And then a month later, rest is week and we're taking it all and the war is going to be over.

And, you know, and they play the same story over and over again. Eventually people are just tired of hearing it. Right. So you look at the population. Everyone's like, you can say whatever you want about Russia. And everybody's done going, saying in the line of like, I'm not for Putin. Nobody cares if you're for Putin. The story we're being told that we're the strongest, most badass person in this

fight, it doesn't look like it's true. Like, it just doesn't. And the fact Putin, you know, stands there, gets bombed and doesn't come just raining down on them and oh, that shows he doesn't have it. It's like you, you're missing the point. And I feel like this story that they've been constructing for themselves and for a lot of the population, every day that goes by, it just falls on more deaf ears that are no longer interested in it. They're just not interested in it. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah. No, you're right, Sean. It's a great, it's a great point. I mean, you get to the point where the layman can see what's going on. And that's who Putin, you know, that's why Putin

went on Tucker Carlson. That's why he's, that's why, you know, that's why Musk buying Twitter was so important. It's why Rumble getting stood up was so important, right? It was to ensure. Yeah, the thing they're doing here, Tom, and I think I've seen. it in the States too. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is they've been harassing a bunch of independent media people? You know, I think it was the tenant thing in the States, right? Tenet was the United

States where they used it as Russian disinformation. Now they've been doing it. Canadian Parliament's been doing it. So that's like the new thing is that people, they're trying to say, oh, it's Russian and different disinformation. I can't speak to all of them. I can't sit here and act like I know. But I

sit here and listen, you know, I've been sitting here once again for the 17th time. And I'm like, I'm not funded by Russia. I don't have any love for, it's not like I'm moving to Russia tomorrow. I'm just looking at the story unfold. And I'm like, at this point, you can call it whatever you want to call it. The story you're selling the Canadian people, the American people, the British people and all the other people is a complete and utter BS because we're all watching it play out in front of us. And nothing that they're saying is going to fruition.

Actually, everything they say, it's like a week later or less. and the opposite starts to be told and they're like, oh, crap, right? The story just keeps leaking out and they can't seem to control it anymore. That's what's been the most interesting from this side. Yeah, it really has been all that, that, really has been that fascinating. And yeah, they just, you know, they don't have control over it anymore, folks. And they don't know how to, because again, we've talked about, you know, how did Trump win the election, how did, you know, how did RFK make his inroads and everything else?

Media has changed. People don't want British tabloid, gotcha, soundbite media. And I used the word British tabloid media. I'm telling you, that is the business model. Then it was, and then affects the Australians and the Americans and Canadians and all of continental Europe. That's the way they do media. And that and that shit started with the British.

And now you have long-form podcasts. You have long-form media. People can sit around. You make our lives so unbelievably uncomfortable by destroying the infrastructure, by destroying the transportation network in the United States to the point where everybody's sitting in their cars for three hours, sitting in fucking traffic, because you've decided to destroy the city.

As a downstream effect of trying to destroy city architecture or city planning, do you lead people in car their cars for three hours and what happens? They start to look, they start searching out a different form of media. Unintended consequences. The unintended consequences, secondary tertiary and quaternity effects of their primary policy, which is to make the world, you know, which is a create friction everywhere. I freaking miss driving five hours a day. I used to like before I did this, that's what I did.

I literally got, I literally had to drive. I flip on the podcast or an audio book. Now I'm like, I'm driving 10 minutes and I'm flicking it on. I'm listening and then I got to get out. And then I'm like, all right, throw the headphones in and walk in. Then I got to sit down. And I'm setting up the studio today. I'm listening to you guys talk.

And I'm like, this is how I get my podcast in now. I used to have five hours of the vehicle. Dude, you could just drive around the block for five hours. What's the problem? What's Sean doing? I think he's listening to a podcast, folks. You're absolutely right, Sean. I mean, I used to do this when I was working in South Florida

and I would, you know, back in 2005 to 2010 or 2006 to 2011 when I did that job. And I listened to all as much of the early versions of podcasting there were. You know, speeches that were encoded. The Mises Institute was great about. This is the heyday of the Mises Institute using leveraging the technology. That way by putting every speech and every audio book

and everything else up for free and I would just load it up on my phone and stick one stick a thing in one ear so I didn't have so the ear that was that was that was that the cop could see as I was driving by didn't have ear plug in it because that's illegal in Florida to drive with a thing in your ear and I didn't have I didn't have it yeah I didn't have an eighth inch jack off of my phone to plug into my on my car at that time was so I had to do it that way and I had to hide the damn thing and so I could listen to this up in the car right well it's this same thing. People ask me, well, you've probably seen this, this, this podcast that they did together. I'm like, I don't fucking watch anybody else's podcast. I go on other people's podcast, and I have people on my show so I can stay informed. And then I have, I have a hide mind behind me of people who like literally watch all this shit. And then I'm like, please do me the favor and give me the TLDR. I need the, I need the TLDR and the CEO board speak and distill it for me. Like, you're my AI. And I don't want dumb fucking language, large language models. I want real people doing this because that's how I found you Tom and Tom and that's how I found Alex. The model you just

described is how I operate this show. I do the episodes so I can learn. And I think for people listening, I hope we do a decent job of that and they learn too. And then what they do is they go listen to more things because I'm trying to prep for the next one. And they go, have you heard of this guy? You got to have this guy on. Or the next one comes and that's how Dr. Jack Cruz fell on my lap. It's because not only did Alex email me about it, then Murray's emailing me about it. And then like five other people are emailing about it. I'm like, well, I don't know who the guy, this guy is, but we better go track them down, right? We might as bring them on.

Enough people are talking about it. And the audience is wonderful. It's better than AI. Because you saw the Coca-Cola commercial with AI where, you know, like certain things are just like, oh, that's AI at the start, right? The birds changed ears or the one truck had no cab on it. And you're like, it just doesn't make any sense because AI, as smart as it is, at times, it just isn't a human being, right? Like it's really fucking dumb, actually.

Right. And so when you get a hive mentality of really smart people behind you, man, the people they send along to you are brilliant. And that is the superpower of a podcast. It just is. Yes. And guess what? Everybody else.

And the members and then one out of our 10 people in their 20, people or 30 people in that community go yeah they're not serving my my knees and then they go so and then they get inspired they start a podcast and then they start a podcast and then they start a podcast and all of a sudden while everybody okay at some point the whole thing will collapse and will be you know certain people but that's fine go out there and be brilliant and learn go out there and do it and you know i have a rule i'll do everybody's show once why because you never know aside for one you never know who the next up-and-coming um great podcast is going to be somebody might have a a preternational ability to be great at it one or two you know like they need a jump start they need

the validation of having somebody show up you know who they respect under their show and like in any small amount of help i can give them to get started and encouragement to get started and get better i'm going to give them because that's part of my model that's part of my my goal like it serves my goals not to be on their show and they're top no it's to help them it's to help us as a as a as a a as a as a group get more people informed because we need that you know we need we need as many niches as we can within within the media to get the stuff done it's a different you know I was reading up about project mockingbird you know I wish I could go back to the guy a guy gave me a list about 15 things I should look into this is probably like 20 21 and I'm like I just don't have the

bandwidth to go looking into all these projects and and and learn how corrupt our government is and whatever project mockingbird right uh talking about the media in the united states and how they you know basically the cia um bought and paid for you know well you can just go watch it now on on on just look it up on twitter for pete's like you can see CNN saying the same thing as this news channel is that news channel they're all broadcasting the same message the difference here in podcasting although tom can go on 50 shows we don't take what tom says and then 50 of us repeat the same message right it's got to be filtered through each individual show.

It is a, well, it's an interesting thing because if there's a bullshitter out of there, if you follow them long on enough different shows with enough different people, you're probably going to catch on those bullshit. Right. Absolutely. Absolutely. And the punters are,

the punters can't, can't survive in this. And that's why Kamala Harris wouldn't do Joe Rogan. Yeah, you can't, you can't fake it. No, you can't fake it. You have to be, you know, the brilliant thing, which, which, you know, I discovered with a substack. It's essentially the same thing that Tom is talking about, but you write an article and then you get feedback, which, you know, fills in all the, you know, like all the missing bits. You get so much, you know, more.

So, you know, like, you should always read an article, but you should also read the commentary. Always. It's fantastic. So I was going to say another something and it was really important, but I'm really in a brain fog today. Oh, sorry, Tom. Oh, no, I was just going to say, Alex. I figured I learned that, you know, I've been blogging since 2005, right? And on and off for the last 20 years.

And, you know, I, even when I do these podcasts, right, now, when I get. go to find the podcast to then put it up on my Patreon, you know, to have a kind of curated for people to go freely, you know, have one, one stop shop for all things me, whatever. I go in there and I'll, I'll invariably, I go in and I read the comments. I'll take five or 10 minutes or 15 minutes and I'll read the comments under the article and I'll under the YouTube or the rumble or whatever. And I'll try and, you know, fill in for people and let them know, I'm reading your comments. I want to know, you know,

what you think of me and everything else. I respond to the, I respond to the assholes as well as I respond to, to the people who praise. And I go in there and just to remind everybody that, no, dude, I'm just, I'm no different than you. I read these things. I read the comment threads.

I, I, I watch shit. I'm, you know, and it's, it's important, you know, and that's only because I've been doing this internet fucking thing for 30 years. Like, more than that. I was in college. Like since I'm 18 years old. I mean, 19 years old, I discovered Usenet on University of Florida campus. Like, and I've been, you know, in this culture, my entire life.

And it's, I think it's very important that, you know, you do, you stay engaged at that level no matter what happens. And, you know, I get people, you know, and that's why my DMs are wide open on Twitter, you know, yada, yada, yada. And, you know, it may be, it may be distracting in some way. It may not even be particularly good for the business and the long and, you know, and the best use of my time. But when I've got an extra 15 minutes or 20 minutes, you know, I do so. And I do it on purpose because, you know, there's nothing, you know, having people want to know that you're real and they want to know that you have that they have some amount of access.

And it also is, you know, it's kind of humbling sometimes. You'll listen to some of the shit that people say about you. You're like, all right, cool. Thank you for the feedback. I have I don't go back through all the comments Tom I find that interesting that you do because on my end coming through COVID yeah well coming through COVID I had some pretty atrocious things said publicly about me that really turned me off like I'm just like I don't need to hear this if you if you don't like me fine if you like me great and I hooked the phone so people listening to this if you go on Spotify you just go down you'll find my phone number. you can text me lots of people text me all the time and i find that met on an effort even for the people who hate me usually won't take the time to do it and if they do i can read it and i can oh i just disagree right and that's fine but i find people are when they have to exert some effort

to go off of their platform to actually come find me usually you find the best people that way like i you know and i interact that way it's my way of being like i'm open to anyone you dislike this conversation have a adder but you're gonna you're gonna blast me on a whole bunch of different things. I'm not really for that. I have a hard time with it. Sure. And that and that's fair. And and and I I go out of my way to make sure that it's actually difficult for my email address because my email box, my inbox is already over overloaded. I would rather reach out. And then I also read the comments like I you know, my articles will go up in zero hedge. I'd always read the comment threads to get a tenor of what's going on. Because you can always

tell who the bots are. I'm getting I'm getting a sense of what the talking points of the bots are what they're saying i can always figure that out so i can know oh that's what they're saying about me now that's what's coming out of the battles of my six about me now or or whatever or you can yeah and you can tell right um and you know it's research as as of what's going on and then you use that in some ways to you know to you know if you're aware of it and then so therefore you can then use that to to to shape how you you know how you perform when you're on this side of the microphone. Like, that's what you do. And, but at the same time, I've found, like, I get unbelievable feedback for my patrons, you know, like every, like every market report that I put out, the twice

weekly for the, for the patrons, you know, the conversations are, you know, 50, 75, 100, 150 long, along with all the media that I put up there and I get, if I get filtered comment, I get really good feedback from people saying, that one was excellent. That's a great primer. You should do more of those like that. And it really helps. And then you get people who are like, you know, they're subscribed because they hate you. Fine. I like that too. And I literally say to them, that's great. You hate everything I have to say. Your money spends just as well as the people who love me. Thank you. Boys, any final thoughts, Alex, I appreciate you, you getting it through for us on a sick day. I understand those brain foggy days and appreciate you hopping on. Any final thoughts for the

listeners. I mean, this at times has been like, holy crap, you know, a pretty like pay attention folks. And at times, you know, we do what we do on this side. After 17, we get into some philosophy and everything else. Any final thoughts from you, Alex, before I let you out of here? Well, we're living in some very extraordinary times and we have the privilege to make a difference this time around. And, you know, we have history as our guide. But, you know, we have history as our guide, it's a limited guidance because the world has changed in ways that it you know we've never had we've never had internet we've never had podcasts and so i think that we can do a great deal to uh to make peace prevail and to deal a final death blow to these uh inbred degenerates who want to plunge us

into war war three uh because you know that's that that's their own only hope of survival. And, you know, life seems like an ordinary things living in day to day. But, you know, if you look, if you, if you, if you look at time and what was that wise person who said like the significance of the passage of time? That was Kamala Harris. She said that phrase like a thousand times. That was not sick enough for the dry, dry. Correct. Correct. Tom, he's still there.

He's still feeling it. That was right after like what can be unburdened by what has been, you know. Anyway, you know, if you look at what's been happening over the last 30 years, not, not, you know, these people in the West, the rule in establishment, let's call them, you know, the oligarchy plus their, you know, equestrian class of enablers and, you know, secret police and intelligence agencies and so on and so forth. You know, they are clever. And they think that by being clever, they prevail. And so they don't hesitate to play dirty and to, you know, they earn. the moniker perfidia salbian for a reason they've been doing it for centuries but let's see what's happened over the last 30 years in 1993 Paul Wolfowitz wrote the Wolfowitz doctrine it was the it was the unipolar moment you know China was nowhere

Soviet Union had just fallen apart in 1991 Russia was on on her knees and And they pretty much ruled the world. They had everything. And the Wolfo's doctrine was meant to keep it that way, meaning full spectrum dominance, preventing any rival from emerging. And then, you know, they repackaged it into the project for the new American century. In the space of one generation, practically, they are much, much farther away from their objective than, when they started off, right? So it means it's getting away from them.

And the reason why I'm saying this is because all these little efforts that we make, you know, we're inflicting the death by a million cuts on them. We just have to keep going, you know, because our children's futures depends on that. And so the fact that we're talking here today is a cut for anybody who, who's watching, talk to your friends, talk to your family, do your own podcast, do your own substack, blog, whatever, Instagram, Facebook X. Every of these little efforts is significant. It makes a difference. It might influence somebody who might influence somebody else who might influence somebody else. And the objective of control is keeps getting far.

and farther and farther from them. And so the whole illusions of omnipotence and this clever scheming and conniving and keeping everything under control. You know, like what kind of gets on my nerves is these people who think that absolutely everything that happens in the world is proof that they're in full and total control.

And when they lose, when they lose big, you know, like they lost Syria, they're losing Ukraine. Then that's an elaborate, game to pretend, you know, that they are losing, but they're really winning, you know. And then, you know, Donald Trump comes to power. Ah, yes, you know, they have him fully under control, right? And Elon Musk buys X and everybody loses their shit. Well, that's an elaborate ploy to make us think that this is a different team where they all.

And wasn't Vladimir Putin part of the World Economic Forum young leaders? Ah, there you go. They have him under control as well. Yep. And China is there like seminary where they are preparing all the technologies with which they're going to enslave us and so on and so forth. So it ain't that. And the people who are selling this story are selling learned helplessness. Yes. Because if they have things that well under control, well, then what's the point of resisting?

Right? Let's just all surrender and let them have their way with us because we're done. We're doomed. We're finished. Anyway, to shorten the rant, that's what I mean to say. Make the effort every day. Everything you can do, everything you think you can do, do it because we are winning. and we will win finally. Yes. Agreed, Alex, completely. Absolutely completely. If you hadn't got to learned helplessness, that was going to be my final comment.

Sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm glad you said it, not me, because I've said it like half a dozen times in the last six podcasts I've talked about. I've done. And this learned helplessness is a thing. It's a demoralization campaign designed

to rob you of your agency. agency and rob you of your power. The easiest way for them to stay in control is for them for them to make you feel worthless and that whatever crumbs they decide to give you, you should be thankful for. Bullshit. That's the narcissistic abuser's way

of keeping you gasping for air and being thankful for crumbs where none of us are all over twist. Please, sir. Have some more. No. Fuck you. Yeah.

Fuck you. dude fill the fucking ball that's a that's a family guy episode of all over twist yeah no seriously i fuck you fill the ball like and put some raisins in that gruel i'm eating that shit like you know what i mean like the hell with this i mean this is the way you have to act with these people and then when you can't and then and on top of everything else like we have to that's the way you have to be and i think that one of the My final point for the morning will be, I'm going, I am going to. And I, and this is going to piss a lot of people off.

But my new goal is to rebrand Generation X as the greatest generation, not the World War II generation. Because Gen X is going to be the fucking assholes that turn around and you know what? No, no, no. You people have no power. And if you don't stop acting the way you are, we're going to give you a wedgy and we're going to call you stupid and we're going to slap you upside the face. and we're going to do all these things because we're not impressed by you. You're not impressive. You have a lot of wealth.

Who gives a fuck? You dittle kids. Get away from that. Not impressed. Sorry, no. Like, I, you know, Dennis Miller is your spirit animal, folks. Take the piss out of fucking everyone. Everyone.

I saw a great thing this morning. It was a two minute TikTok. by a woman and she said it's on rumble it's on my Twitter feed now too get ready America is about to become the meanest it's ever been because the meanest generation just took over go look at Donald Trump cabinet it's all full of gen Xers and we're mean and she literally was saying shit that I was literally talking with dexter white about about two weeks ago he's like oh no we have to we have to like literally like make fun of these people and when they start to cry we give them wedgies.

And when they start, I need a safe space. No, no, no, put down the purple hair dye and back away from the nose ring and get back to fucking work. Snowflake, we're done. This is over. Grownups are in town. Shut the fuck up. Get tough or go away and all praise Keck. I mean, this is the way we have to literally embody that at every level.

because, you know, it's, it's just so, it's necessary. It's a green amplify. They call us racist, fine. You know, they call us, you know, sexist fine. Whatever. So, skin off my ass, I know what I am. And I don't give a shit. I'm, we're going to take these people out.

And we're going to make this world a better place. And we're not going to ensure that, I mean, they're out of their, they're going out of their way to make Pete a feel like a secret again. yet. No. Not going back in the bottle, not that genie. Screw you. No. No, no, no, no, no. And I got news for you. Putin's on board with this. Trump is on board with this. I even think Xi's on board with this. Oh, yeah. And I don't, and I'm not, and I'm not G's biggest fan. I'm probably the least, you know, I mean, of all the people in this in our kind of space, I'm the one who has the least nice things, the fewest nice things to say about Xi, because I don't trust the Chinese.

I don't trust a guy, but whatever. But I, but at a certain level, like, like, that is unacceptable. And that's where we all have to be. Like, and, and that's it. And we do that and there's nothing they can threaten us with. I'll, I'll finish with this. If, uh, you enjoyed the last 17 of these chats. Tom and Alex will be descending on Alberta again, May 10th, 2025, hey? At the next Cornerstone Forum,

you've grace Lloyd Minster twice, and now we're heading to Calgary, Alberta. We're going to be joined by a cast of characters. That's going to be a lot of fun, and if you want to see Tom and Alex in person in Alberta, down on the show notes, there's tickets, early bird prices, actually,

to the end of the year, boys. They don't get any cheaper than what they are right now. And I think there is a lot of people that are excited to see YouTube back again and to see the Cornerstone Forum heading to Calgary. So I'm looking forward to many more chats like this. And you know, every time I have you on, you know, in these, in these tight areas, you know, before Trump's inaugurated and you pull out these big things, I'm just like, I'm just going to shorten the time frame to when I have you back on again. Because I think we're in a time, we're in this little period of time where I think things can change rapidly really fast.

And we probably just need to have you back on, not once a month, but we'll, we'll speed it up every so slightly to ensure that if there's things changing, people know about it. Either way, gents, thanks for having, or thanks for having me on. Thanks for hopping on this side of things. And looking forward to seeing you in 2025. Peaceful. Thank you.
