00:00:13.040 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the

00:00:20.000 authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just

00:00:25.920 like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and

00:00:30.560 misrepresentations that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you

00:03:40.000 It's Monday, 20 March

00:03:42.480 In the year of our Lord, 2023

00:03:43.600 And yes, the storm is here

00:03:45.300 It's not that it's coming

00:03:46.440 There's no gathering storm anymore

00:03:47.840 We're in it

00:03:48.840 Okay, as we enter Dante's

00:03:51.300 The first circle of hell

00:03:52.420 And this is the show

00:03:54.420 To actually break it down

00:03:55.660 And everybody can see it

00:03:56.900 Remember, this is ironically

00:03:58.440 The 20th anniversary

00:04:00.160 Of the beginning of the invasion

00:04:01.620 Of Iraq 0.97

00:04:02.780 All the tragedy that that caused

00:04:04.660 All the agony

00:04:05.900 The $9 trillion that it cost

00:04:07.760 And I think, no, excuse me

00:04:09.140 $7 trillion for Iraq 0.94

00:04:10.300 $2 trillion for Afghanistan

00:04:11.820 I'm going to get to all that

00:04:13.900 We got some incredible footage

00:04:15.040 From that night

00:04:15.680 But we're here also

00:04:16.860 To talk about what's happening

00:04:18.160 The convergence of this, right?

00:04:19.420 The geopolitical

00:04:20.260 And the financial

00:04:20.860 We got a financial system

00:04:22.660 That is in global meltdown

00:04:24.020 The foreign minister

00:04:25.040 Excuse me

00:04:25.660 The finance minister

00:04:27.800 Their equivalent 0.52

00:04:28.900 Of the Secretary of Treasury

00:04:30.040 The finance minister of France

00:04:31.320 Came out and said

00:04:31.880 The era of easy money

00:04:34.240 The era of free money

00:04:35.420 Is over

00:04:35.980 As they understand

00:04:37.440 Right now

00:04:38.060 They're pumping in

00:04:40.200 From the Federal Reserve

00:04:41.780 Massive amounts

00:04:42.820 Of liquidity

00:04:43.560 They call

00:04:44.000 That's a fancy term

00:04:44.940 For hard cash

00:04:45.900 Okay

00:04:46.620 And that would be your cash

00:04:48.140 It's an asset to them

00:04:49.660 It's a liability to you

00:04:50.820 Because all it's going to do

00:04:52.120 Is lead to a massive devaluation

00:04:53.800 Incredible inflation

00:04:55.280 The most regressive

00:04:56.820 Unfair tax

00:04:57.860 In mankind's history

00:04:58.760 And that's runaway inflation

00:04:59.760 But 20 years ago

00:05:01.260 I want to bring in

00:05:01.960 I tell you

00:05:02.560 Do we have

00:05:03.020 And the footage we have

00:05:04.380 Do we have any sound for that?

00:06:18.460 okay i want to continue to play that i want to play it as b-roll we have producers actually

00:06:31.260 producers that were not born when that when that happened it's unbelievable the shock and awe

00:06:35.520 mo as you look back in your your academy class of 10 you guys went and served

00:06:40.200 uh under it was president obama i think at the uh even before his second term um

00:06:46.200 tell us what's the general impression of of the army veterans and people you know i know you don't

00:06:52.800 speak for the army overall but people you know about uh basically our time in iraq what what are

00:07:01.640 their what are what are their takeaways from from people when they sit there and they look at the

00:07:05.100 time in iraq right there for everybody on the podcast or on radio this is why you've got to

00:07:11.060 get the show and go back and see the clips this footage is absolutely unbelievable it's not shown

00:07:16.100 very often and really we had very little commemoration over the weekend captain bannon your thoughts and

00:07:21.320 observations you know people believe that when we went over there we went to complete a mission and

00:07:28.720 the guidance that we were given and we withdrew we were in iraq from 2003 shock and awe actually started

00:07:37.480 the night of march 19th with the air which is what we're seeing right now as b-roll and then the

00:07:44.040 ground game started on march 20th so we went from march 2003 until december 2011 and with that

00:07:54.360 withdrawal we have now gone back into iraq you know what what we thought we were handing over did not

00:08:02.160 stay the way we thought it was going to be and you have veterans you know the question just like we did

00:08:07.320 with this boss withdrawal out of afghanistan you have veterans questioning what what they went over

00:08:14.040 there to do and you lost thousands of people in iraq and it makes veterans question did we did we go over

00:08:23.120 there and do what we were meant to do like did we complete the mission and was it worth it so you have

00:08:30.620 a lot of veterans questioning that and then you have some veterans that that believe that we did

00:08:36.660 go the mission that we were told we were going to complete we did complete

00:08:40.400 um i remember when you were over there and you were going to be over there for a lot longer at the

00:08:47.940 time and then i gotta tell you this footage is unbelievable i haven't i have not watched the

00:08:51.640 shock and awe for a while but just keep replaying that on b-roll it's insane people have to see this

00:08:55.920 this was the air attack and in the the the misimpression that the leaders had is that

00:09:04.260 chaining these guys is that this was going to basically win the war they had no concept

00:09:08.760 no contract in fact uh bill crystal today is uh is you know sent back some tweet on some on footage

00:09:15.500 that michael and delamont today um about when i called uh ron de santis a weasel you had crystal

00:09:22.180 these people have blood on their hands they'll never wash off impossible to wash off

00:09:25.780 the lies and misrepresentations and what they did to basically talk this country into war is is

00:09:32.580 disgraceful absolutely disgrace worse than vietnam worse than vietnam go ahead mo 100 and i don't know

00:09:39.480 if you remember on may 1st 2003 at the time president george w bush said gave that speech the mission

00:09:47.560 accomplished accomplished speech and said that combat operations were complete in iraq which is not the

00:09:55.320 case they continued on for years then we withdrew out of iraq we were back in iraq and we are not

00:10:02.700 giving adequate health care to the veterans that we sent over multiple deployments to this country

00:10:11.800 and what we were told we were going over there to fight for as you said and we all know to be true

00:10:18.980 that we were missed we were told lies we were misrepresented what we're going over there for

00:10:23.280 and then now we've sent numerous people over there deployment after deployment after deployment and use

00:10:30.200 them until they can't be used anymore and then thrown them out like yesterday's garbage so we need to

00:10:36.540 take care of the veterans that we sent into iraq in 2003 through 2011 and those veterans from afghanistan as

00:10:44.820 well there's still 5 500 combat troops in or i should say combat and support troops i guess to

00:10:51.320 be technically correct just like there's thousands up in syria this is one of the things of the america

00:10:55.860 first movement want all those to come home uh richard engel uh in fact let's go ahead and play we have the

00:11:01.820 richard engel piece this is when we get to wall second you have a major geopolitical meeting happening in

00:11:06.980 uh in um uh in russia right with with putin and she the the mullahs in persia in tehran

00:11:15.480 i've already partnered with the russians and now the chinese and and as richard engel is going to tell

00:11:20.960 you here on nbc essentially the country we fought for who are doing deals now with the chinese and

00:11:26.040 iraq's also going to do a big output deal with them and take that in chinese uh currency not petrodollars

00:11:33.120 to get off the u.s currency uh their control most of their politics is controlled by iran

00:11:38.140 so all those lives all that treasure everything and the same people that all the bush hacks are 0.59

00:11:43.920 up on msmc they want to come back and talk to us bill crystal they should just leave leave the stage

00:11:49.280 you're despised you're detested by people hate you they hate you because of the lies you told

00:11:54.880 to this nation and really with lies got us into a war of choice right a war of choice that we never 0.75

00:12:01.480 should have gotten into it's absolutely a disgrace everything about iraq let's go and play the richard

00:12:06.880 engel piece for a couple of minutes and then we'll cut in i want to put it up on our site gallup poll

00:12:11.620 released today show the majority of iraqis still feel negative emotions like pain stress and worry

00:12:18.920 on a daily basis 20 years after the start of the war but there is hope more iraqis said they believe

00:12:26.140 their living standards are getting better in 2022 and for the first time in years the nation didn't

00:12:32.440 lead the world in negative experiences nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is in baghdad

00:12:38.060 with the latest from the ground richard it's hard to believe that this is what baghdad looks like

00:12:44.940 today people are back out onto the streets this is called mutanembi street it's the old book market

00:12:50.400 and for many years people didn't just not come here they didn't go out of their homes at all there

00:12:56.520 were so many car bombings so many kidnappings such an intense insurgency that people were afraid now

00:13:03.480 the city is much much safer the entire country is much safer and people are starting to embrace their

00:13:11.180 country embrace a new life people here told me they're optimistic now this this hasn't been an easy

00:13:17.860 journey for iraqis uh when the u.s invaded 20 years ago this weekend iraqis were initially very

00:13:24.240 happy they were happy to be rid of saddam hussein not everybody but the vast majority happy to be able

00:13:29.600 to express themselves happy to be able to pursue new lives new new dreams but quickly iraqis realized

00:13:37.680 that it was not going to be easy and that tensions that have been building up between the different

00:13:43.300 religious communities here sundis and she has started exploding out and a civil war broke out

00:13:49.000 a civil war that was devastating a civil war that american troops caused inadvertently and also found

00:13:55.600 themselves in the middle of now that civil war is over american troops have gone there is no american

00:14:02.540 military presence here just some troops that mostly uh guard the u.s embassy but you don't see troops

00:14:09.000 around you just see iraqis around and people here are hopeful that they can start a new page but

00:14:16.880 they have let's let's uh we're gonna try to play that in its entirety up on i'm gonna put it up on

00:14:25.000 getter um 20 years afterwards after all the death all the destruction all that was no weapons of mass destruction

00:14:33.480 everything you were told was a lie uh after all the seven trillion dollars think about this for a second

00:14:39.000 think of what the united states would be with seven trillion dollars spent here in in st louis and

00:14:47.200 in detroit and in arizona and colorado we just took seven trillion dollars and spent it here to make our

00:14:53.680 cities better to make our manufacturing base better to make our airports our infrastructure seven

00:14:58.140 trillion dollars you spent seven trillion dollars in in iraq and lost thousands and thousands and thousands

00:15:06.600 thousands of dead thousands uh wounded some of the most horrific injuries i remember most some of

00:15:12.280 the kids in your class some of the most horrific injuries will never recover and then the psychological

00:15:16.080 damage right with what the 20 the 20 uh the 20 suicides a day and all the ptsd just absolutely

00:15:23.720 a great tragedy and here's the thing the people that foisted this on the country because it was foisted

00:15:28.840 i i remember at the time all this about weapons of mass destruction everything they said about going

00:15:34.820 into iraq was a lie we didn't go into iraq nobody signed up to go to iraq to bring democracy to the

00:15:40.700 iraqis that that was never the deal they later they know the blue fingers and all that that was all bush

00:15:45.780 trying to bail themselves out of dick cheney's lies in bush's lies in the pbc on msnbc all the trump

00:15:53.820 haters all the never trumpers remember the core thing it comes through is at the reagan library

00:15:59.220 uh with you know that magnificent uh drop and in south carolina uh donald trump lit up jeb bush

00:16:06.280 about these uh about these wars and the in the in the audience response was fantastic because the

00:16:11.860 audience it's their sons and daughters going into these foreign battlefields to be injured or to die

00:16:17.640 they had a belly full of it and and that's one of the biggest dividing lines that's why nikki haley

00:16:22.840 and tim scott and all these people can't get any traction because they're still neocons and people

00:16:27.200 have had it with the neocons it doesn't work and they're not we're not going to do it again

00:16:30.240 these endless forever wars particularly these endless forever wars in the middle east it's

00:16:35.420 time to bring them home from syria it's time and by the way that's not quite true there's more than

00:16:38.960 embassy protection personnel we have 5500 i think combat troops and support groups and special

00:16:44.340 operators in iraq and here's the thing one of our mortal enemies persia the iranians control the

00:16:51.140 country richard engler goes on and says hey the politics are really controlled by persia in fact

00:16:55.160 they've they've got a huge billboard up in the center of town to soleimany the the guy we took out

00:17:00.420 who was essentially uh an operative of the iranians the iranians who are now a partner of the chinese

00:17:06.640 communist party direct partner hard hardwired partner and russia supplying military equipment uh

00:17:12.540 mo um you went in 10 i just want to go to about getting yeah go ahead hon i was just gonna say and you

00:17:19.740 know i'm talking too much here am i talking too much here you can just tell me to shut up dad you 0.91

00:17:23.900 shut up and you notice the people that continue to vote for endless wars like you said it's not their 0.96

00:17:29.320 sons and daughters it's not their grandchildren they don't care about sending us back over and 0.96

00:17:34.220 over and over again because it's not their children their children get to go home on thanksgiving and

00:17:38.820 christmas get to go spend family holidays with them it's not their children that are going over there

00:17:44.160 and at risk of dying and them coming home in a you know in a casket and having to be to be buried

00:17:51.320 you know potentially in arlington national cemetery they don't know what it's like and many families in

00:17:58.460 this country do and that's why they continue to vote for these endless wars because they've never had

00:18:02.700 to live that they can keep it at arm's length the american people most of them know what it feels like

00:18:08.580 to have a family member go off to a foreign battlefield and not know day by day if they

00:18:15.040 are actually going to make it home

00:18:17.020 over the weekend given his happy talk on ukraine a guy he's never been overseas never served in the

00:18:24.380 military never done anything except uh you know hang with his father who is chief of staff for bush

00:18:30.460 basically gave the chinese communist party to reinforce their rule in china after tiananman square when

00:18:37.040 the bush uh regime 41 the first bush regime uh sat there and or bush junta as i call it and gave the

00:18:44.640 country you know took down lady liberty uh didn't support the protesters but supported the chinese

00:18:49.940 communist party and and he has no you know he he's got some happy talk in iraq on ukraine we got to be in

00:18:55.440 there you know he's he's one step away from saying we need full combat troops um last thing by the way i know

00:19:01.800 when you had your first command and did that all your ncos i think the average was 10 or 11 deployments

00:19:08.480 these nc's non-commissioned officers that were career army uh army through and through majority of whom

00:19:14.220 were minorities that they had done 10 11 12 combat tours i mean mo how do you keep a personal life how do you

00:19:20.120 keep a family life together when you're doing these multiple tours between iraq and afghanistan ma'am

00:19:25.480 you you don't you honestly that's why the divorce rate is higher in the military than it is you know

00:19:32.060 in the civilian world you you don't by the time you get home you end up home for a few months a year and

00:19:39.180 then you go back over again and most in the military you pcs or change duty stations so you could go

00:19:47.520 deploy like i deployed out of fort campbell and then move to another duty station and they could be on the

00:19:54.080 patch chart to deploy again so yes there were many many ncos that worked for me when i was in command

00:20:00.540 that had multiple deployments and a lot of them are divorced at least one possibly two divorces and

00:20:08.300 it's hard a lot of kids grow up not knowing their parents that are serving in the military because they

00:20:12.400 were constantly gone i remember too i don't know if they get there we've gotten to it yet the uh the uh

00:20:20.560 you're sitting on saddam hussein's uh throne uh with your with your way there it is right there with

00:20:26.420 your weapon i want to see this because richard engel right there richard engel engel uh has today at

00:20:32.000 the end of the report he talks about that i think the very palace you were in has been turned into the

00:20:37.060 american university of iraq today it's actually a college so a long way from 2000 um 2000 was a two that

00:20:44.700 was 2012 2011 2012 i remember they pulled you guys out when was it 2000 november december 2012

00:20:52.780 i i deployed april 30th of 2011 and i came home boots on ground at fort campbell november 8th of 2011

00:21:01.080 and that was only only because if we had stayed past december because of the agreement that was made

00:21:09.280 by president um george w bush had we stayed past december into january of 2012 we would have been

00:21:16.440 charged as war uh war criminals biden was in charge of that negotiation to extend it and uh

00:21:24.140 didn't get it extended and so obama pulled the plug you guys were back i remember everything was

00:21:28.520 pulled out you guys were back what six months early but more importantly from the time you first got the

00:21:33.320 order everything everything came out right away okay thank you uh very much to uh for this on the

00:21:40.320 20th anniversary of the invasion remember um as mo said uh baghdad fell i think within three or four

00:21:48.940 weeks right the the they couldn't obviously couldn't put up with the modern combined arms operation of the

00:21:54.720 american military but uh but we were there for years and years and years it was 22 days after after

00:22:02.540 the initial shock and awe 22 days back dad fell 20 22 days and then we barely held it for another what

00:22:10.900 12 10 years 12 years unbelievable the dead the wounded the ptsd the money wasted the treasure wasted

00:22:18.460 they haven't learned it's the same crowd pushing ukraine the exact same crowd they haven't changed

00:22:22.840 whatsoever the forever war crowd and we're america first we're going to stop them it's not acceptable 0.84

00:23:36.940 walsh about the underpinnings of the world economy which is energy can i play again

00:23:40.520 it's shocking all can you just go back go back to the beginning let's play that shock and all for a second

00:23:45.040 are you

00:24:13.680 during the the gulf war as a defense saddam hussein had actually burned the oil fields right he had

00:24:30.220 set the oil fields on firehead those incredible films that were made of what he was doing the

00:24:34.660 ecological disaster uh since we took the country over in 22 days to now hear that the iraqis are 1.00

00:24:42.000 doing massive output deals with the chinese communist party and they're going to do exactly

00:24:45.360 what the persians are doing exactly what the saudis are doing they're going to do these output deals

00:24:50.100 and take it in chinese currency uh did we really did did did was this worth it at all not just the

00:24:57.100 blood and treasure but from a geopolitical and from a really an energy the geopolitics of energy was

00:25:02.980 this was that was the invasion and our being there for what uh 15 years worth it or still there i

00:25:09.840 guess still there after 20 years worth it now from an energy perspective we certainly didn't

00:25:15.280 come out of that with an energy ally to the point you just raised of the the east beginning to coalesce

00:25:21.360 iran the kingdom of saudi arabia of course russia around the chinese core to go ahead and shift

00:25:29.100 exportation away from those who don't appear to want oil to those who do and that's china to grow

00:25:35.640 their economy you mentioned a couple days ago i mean the monetary impact of this the uh dependence

00:25:41.340 on china now of russia is about a 48 billion funds transfer of value of exportation from russia now to

00:25:49.460 china in in crude oil the uh reduction of china's prior dependence on us to some degree for some degree

00:25:56.740 of their petroleum which is now over was about 17.1 billion and we're 48 billion a year in hard

00:26:04.260 currency transfers to china of oil from here so now they're calling us with russia new pol russia

00:26:09.660 saudi iran together um no the the the warfare did nothing for us in terms of energy independence nor

00:26:17.760 creating any long-term allegiance with the iraqis certainly not the iranians so tremendous loss

00:26:23.980 it's unbelievable and incredible just incredible dave hang on for a second we got a lot more to talk

00:26:32.140 about while uh the world's financial system melted down today and it was only saved because of a

00:32:54.140 so like no matter who you are no matter where you live no matter uh who you voted for we all 0.97

00:32:59.180 this is ridiculous 0.65

00:33:02.180 this is not these are not serious people you got the financial system in the united states melting 0.97

00:33:07.820 down the only reason you have any stability whatsoever in the last couple of days is you're

00:33:11.920 just forcing your cash into the system

00:33:14.100 fiat money just printed at the federal reserve that's what they're that's where

00:33:17.780 they're they're doing the discount window 186 billion dollars on thursday and friday

00:33:22.440 more today i think it was fanny may or the other the the one that does mortgage-backed securities

00:33:27.220 i can see the 300 billion dollars into them today

00:33:29.260 okay and they've opened the swap windows for the whole world for the bank of japan the bank of switzerland

00:33:34.100 as they're nationalizing essentially nationalizing their banking systems

00:33:38.560 they call them shotgun mergers and all this crap

00:33:40.900 over in switzerland the the the the the creme de la creme of global banking

00:33:46.140 they literally took the rule book and threw it out this weekend

00:33:49.320 no shareholder vote i mean they they talk about laws and you know um

00:33:54.000 the international rules-based order these are the rules of the most sophisticated

00:33:58.320 investors in the world got jammed this weekend in switzerland

00:34:02.360 just took the thing out and just zeroed out the bonds

00:34:05.740 were senior to the equity gave the equity a tip

00:34:08.700 so they go away didn't allow any shareholder vote just literally rewrote the law

00:34:12.880 rewrote the law on sunday to make it happen there are no rules anymore the only rule is the federal

00:34:19.040 reserve is going to continue to print money that is a asset to them but a liability to you

00:34:24.100 why is it a liability because it's got to be redeemed at some point in time and what it's going to be

00:34:28.920 redeemed is a massive as peter navarre said today you're building up this is a quantitative easing

00:34:34.880 this is a massive infusion of liquidity into the system and eventually that's just going to blow up

00:34:40.000 on more inflation they're not going to try to tame inflation because they're so nervous now they raise

00:34:44.200 interest rates the bonds drop even more they're bigger holes in the bank's balance shoot

00:34:47.700 this is all the biden regime so if you're one of these people under 35 years old and uh you know you

00:34:53.020 believe in the net carbon future and you can have windmills produce energy right now all of it hey

00:34:58.640 you got it baby you voted for it it's all yours i hope this works out for you one percent growth

00:35:04.220 we're going to be just like japan we're going to have decades and decades lost generation lost 0.66

00:35:09.400 decades like japan has they just announced the other day that japan has virtually i think passed the

00:35:14.740 the level of nowhere the point of no return on demographics on even having children anymore because

00:35:19.920 people just the young generation has given up they've really given up we're not going to give

00:35:24.580 up but it's going to be a long tough slog back dave walsh uh five hours she and putin are with each

00:35:30.700 other they've got their partners in tehran their partners in saudi arabia they're soon to be partners

00:35:35.900 in iraq and the white house has a comedy show guy up there ted lasso because they think it's all yucks

00:35:43.500 and of course zen master jean pierre says yeah i know everybody's watching march madness all is everybody's

00:35:48.360 doing that's the bread and circuses this is rome and rome is burning dave walsh give me your

00:35:54.820 assessment when when she and putin spend five hours i just want people to understand where trump had

00:36:00.080 full spectrum energy dominance what's the reality of the world's energy markets and what's happening

00:36:04.920 geopolitically uh with the worst people people on earth the chinese people the russian people are 1.00

00:36:11.140 great the chinese communist party and the kgb these are two gangster organizations to basically control 0.93

00:36:16.960 these countries and now they're kind of merging into senior partner junior partner dave walsh

00:36:22.680 well they're certainly going to be talking about are talking about energy transition energy transition

00:36:28.360 from europe to china meaning 2.2 million barrels a day that were previously destined for western europe

00:36:34.260 will now go to china to support their huge need for oil again they produce 4 million barrels a day they

00:36:40.000 need 14 million barrels a day to keep their economy moving and growing that's going to come from russia

00:36:45.660 you're going to see discussions actively of two new natural gas pipelines headed southward now to

00:36:51.820 china from siberia to displace in part one of the ones that someone blew up in the north sea a few a few

00:36:59.380 months ago that that natural gas by pipeline far cheaper than making lng by the way far cheaper than

00:37:06.320 transporting it by sea but by pipeline will go into china almost for certain and displace any lng exports

00:37:13.100 we had to china they'll now be all from russia uh and that's uh that's a huge monetization of now

00:37:19.880 all of those transactions that oil and gas will be not in dollars which will dilute the dollar further

00:37:25.960 as the petroyuan takes hold with the kingdom so that those issues are undoubtedly at the core of their

00:37:31.880 meetings plus of course this continued distraction of u.s military spending and the dissipation

00:37:37.520 of our weapons base our ground-based weapons base on ukraine for the next for the last 18 months

00:37:44.220 going into the next six months creates massive additional vulnerability for taiwan in in our

00:37:50.720 inability to defend taiwan as we dissipate our ground-based uh projectile tank and uh directed

00:37:59.600 missile strength locally in ukraine so we won't be in a position to support taiwan within a few months

00:38:05.560 of that continuing to happen monetarily or with hardware and and she knows that he knows that

00:38:11.920 and that's why you're not seeing a terminus to this and he's the ally of russia i want to go back

00:38:16.380 it's the 20th anniversary it ties into that's why i want to tie it into the geopolitics that's happening in

00:38:21.520 moscow for the next two or three days in a fourth turning things go through massive changes in those

00:38:27.760 times and we'd have no idea how they're going to turn out i want to just put give you a historical

00:38:31.960 perspective when oil was first found in any number after the first world war british petroleum and

00:38:40.300 what was a ramp code the american you know the american part of it and the british part of it

00:38:45.100 were dominant there working with the local community and eventually these got nationalized

00:38:51.160 but the chinese and the russians had no role american foreign policy up until obama let the russians

00:39:00.000 have a warm water port up off of syria in israel was the american foreign policy in the middle east

00:39:06.080 was to keep russia out china wasn't even considered to be close to being a player this this is such a

00:39:13.740 massive geopolitical shift that the british and the americans that have literally from the founding

00:39:19.400 of finding of oil until now have been the dominant technicians technical people still the companies

00:39:27.240 whether they were nationalized or not and the mentality if you're over there the mentality of

00:39:31.580 british petroleum the mentality of the big american you know the seven sisters particularly the ones that

00:39:37.140 were most and you got dutch shell you got the dutch you got the british you got the americans but you

00:39:41.340 have basically the anglo you know judeo-christian west now it's a whole different game how and people

00:39:48.040 don't realize this is a game changer because energy independence energy the ability to get energy and to get

00:39:56.020 plentiful and cheap is the foundation of the modern industrial society and all the happy talk about

00:40:01.800 you can transition to windmills or solar is just that it's it's literally fantasy and when biden sits

00:40:07.660 and goes you know for at least the next 10 years or yeah i think he's right on that when you look at

00:40:12.120 the math it's a fantasy but now after 80 years right almost 100 years i guess it is shifting almost

00:40:20.160 overnight to going to be russian and chinese geopolitically how big am i first of all is that

00:40:26.460 a correct way to look at it and if that's true how big a how big an impact is this going to have on

00:40:31.620 the united states of america sir no it's it's true and i'll put a capstone on that with respect to bp

00:40:37.180 bp in the last five years has invested over two billion dollars in about 20 u.s based solar farms

00:40:44.320 british petroleum who basically have cut back british and north sea production of oil and gas

00:40:51.120 by about 70 percent in the last 15 years cut back production in their homeland the home country

00:40:58.380 in in instead invest several billion in solar farms in the u.s that aren't providing a return to their

00:41:04.820 shareholders vis-a-vis the chairman about two months ago announced to say we're going to look

00:41:09.120 hard at these solar assets they're providing no return for us bp so the distraction of a great

00:41:16.100 oil company like that now into renewables a business that is not their business they're an

00:41:20.800 oil and gas producer is it's just endemic of the elite mentality that somehow this wind and solar

00:41:26.580 stuff is going to displace oil and gas and it's not the chinese are not betting on that the saudis 0.99

00:41:32.400 aren't betting on that the russians aren't betting on that and i don't think we come out uh you know

00:41:36.900 ahead on that and i'm at your your great commentary a couple months ago on the uh the russian invasion

00:41:42.800 by the germans why did that happen that happened because russia made a commitment to hitler in 1938

00:41:49.240 to supply something like 50 million barrels of oil to feed his war machine beginning in 1938

00:41:55.340 in 1941 china russia pulled the plug in that deal what does hitler decide to do we need to go get the oil

00:42:03.140 that was at the crux of the invasion strategy let's go get the oil they've stopped shipping to us

00:42:08.180 that didn't work out well for them our fortunately our bombers came and took out the three major

00:42:14.160 refineries in germany as step one of our air campaign and the rest is history things worked

00:42:19.060 out well for us largely because the germans ran out of oil they didn't have a domestic supply they 1.00

00:42:24.760 were dependent for a while in russia russia pulled the plug that that whole issue was at the heart of the

00:42:30.000 second world war as well and then the reason for the russian invasion to begin with by hitler was

00:42:34.880 to seize oil fields in part and um you know it's just the the dependence of military success on oil

00:42:42.240 and gas is everything it's huge and it hasn't changed she knows that putin knows japanese the japanese

00:42:48.420 co-pros the the japanese co-prosperity sphere was the exact same thing the reason the japanese

00:42:54.260 drove so far south right was that they needed the the whole the pearl harbor situation was all about

00:43:01.920 the questions today that fdr and these guys know it was the embargo in fact the japanese was they say

00:43:08.040 hey knew knew about it they were actually in cordell hall's office and they're negotiating the embargo

00:43:13.980 of oil from the united states of japan and these guys internally said hey the foreign devils got us

00:43:20.140 and they're not going to back off they can always choke us down and we're going to have to go grab

00:43:24.320 it but both spheres were driven principally about energy which which kind of makes sense because

00:43:30.720 energy is the foundational element in any modern industrial economies correct sir to this day you

00:43:37.680 can as you all know sir you cannot wage war without it if either the uh the u.s boycott the u.s

00:43:43.740 actually you know i'm cared little about asians killing asians in 38 to 41 cared little about it

00:43:49.880 except did decree a boycott an oil boycott on japan to try to slow them down the japanese reaction was

00:43:57.240 pearl harbor that's exactly why they did that they fully acknowledged it the emperor acknowledged that's

00:44:02.320 why they attacked pearl harbor in retaliation dave's analysis is cool because the japanese went into

00:44:09.460 manchuria what the marco polar bridge they were killing millions of chinese and hey lao baijing they 0.94

00:44:15.720 were killing millions of chinese and nobody in washington care exactly that's a that's a eurasian 1.00

00:44:20.140 land that's a eurasian landmass problem that's eurasian landmass no that's where the people

00:44:25.940 yeah directly result of the oil embargo did we decide to act so we're geo geo geo strategically you

00:44:33.480 know the thinkers if you go back in the 20th anniversary and you talk to people that were the

00:44:38.660 planners at the time and if you even see some of the movies that came out i think the one with richard

00:44:43.120 dreyfus as cheney the this the the they knew at the cynically they knew that um there wasn't weapons

00:44:51.300 of mass destruction they were looking for a reason to get into iraq because of the geopolitics of oil

00:44:55.980 and they said saddam hussein will be a huge problem in 20 years basically in 2020 and 2023 right now if we

00:45:03.880 don't take him out now because we need control the oil from the the from their strategy point of view 0.98

00:45:10.180 in the early 2000s to once again get the oil to where we are now is that the biggest epic fail

00:45:16.860 in in geostrategically of a great power in history uh dave uh dave walsh oh i i think so and i mean

00:45:24.340 it's always the the the erratic and nonsensical devotion of the west to principles that somehow

00:45:31.820 the laws of physics can change and we can wean rapidly off of gas oil and coal is is at the heart

00:45:39.500 of one of the tremendous uh failures of economic and now it's going to be military policy that the

00:45:46.460 west has ever committed and it's massively worrisome this this nonsense that we can through solar and

00:45:52.900 wind power military power industrial economy compete with china they know better than that the russians 0.99

00:45:59.420 know better than that it just things do not work that way we're still this this economy is 88 percent

00:46:05.760 dependent on fossil fuels and nuclear power for energy of all types transportation home eating all in

00:46:11.560 um the the movement the needle has moved on that only a couple of percent since 1975

00:46:17.720 all due respect to the solar and wind that's been deployed the entire needle and the mix of energy

00:46:23.360 over here has moved about two percent from 90 percent dependent on fossil and nuclear to 88 percent now

00:46:28.720 on fossil and nuclear owing to the fact that those are such intermittent resources it's senseless to

00:46:34.740 talk about depending on them now here oh by the way last week uh announced in minnesota despite the

00:46:40.600 economic chaos we're going through edf is investing 250 million dollars the company owned by macron by the

00:46:47.380 french government in default last year investing 250 million in a minnesota-based solar farm they're broken

00:46:54.020 in france they can't pay pensions they're bankrupt french government takes over edf but they're still

00:46:59.760 investing 250 million as we speak last week in a minnesota solar farm to generate power about 10

00:47:06.240 percent of the time this this is the west this is where we are dave let me ask you about the grid

00:47:14.700 because right now you're going to see a massive credit contraction i mean right now they're flooding the

00:47:19.120 zone with liquidity to basically save the system from because the system's insolvent so they're just

00:47:24.540 going to keep the printing mill of the of the federal reserve going as long as they possibly can

00:47:28.540 until they're told to stop which is going to have to happen here i think from the republican house pretty

00:47:33.360 quickly but talk to me given the fact that you're then eventually going to have a massive credit

00:47:37.520 contraction because you're just going to have to right or inflation is going to blow inflation will be

00:47:42.040 at 15 percent and every person in this country will be laid off you know another 9 000 at amazon today

00:47:47.220 go on top of the 18 000 uh last week well walk us through with that credit contraction in the in the

00:47:53.380 shape of our grid give us just give us a net assessment of where we stand right now on the

00:47:58.200 distribution side of energy not even the production side well we need we desperately need to build a lot

00:48:04.740 of baseload capacity continuous duty gas nuclear heaven forbid i know we don't like it coal clean coal

00:48:12.280 technology to displace that which has been torn down the last 10 years you look at the

00:48:17.420 effective and accurate guardian article today the december 24 25 power shortage in the carolinas tennessee

00:48:25.820 kentucky tva shut down 6 000 megawatts of coal plants since 2005 reduced their coal dependency from 57

00:48:34.120 percent to about 14 percent displaced that one third with electricity imports into the tva region

00:48:40.620 about 50 percent with gas fire technology but about 30 percent with uh renewables so you have a

00:48:48.980 huge shortage of now reserve margins in the tva region not enough continuous duty electricity running

00:48:56.120 so then when competition came for the gas for home heating in those cold days they didn't have enough

00:49:02.160 electrons so they had shortages of two hours to eight hours for december 24 25 the duke area over in the

00:49:09.500 carolina is the same shut down duke shut down 56 coal plants between about 2005 and 2017

00:49:16.740 owing to a massive dependence growing dependence on solar which works up there 4.6 hours a day only

00:49:24.420 19 and a half hours a day it doesn't work therefore you had about half a million people in the carolinas

00:49:29.880 out of service and the cold the cold doesn't cause these events it it exposes them it exposes the

00:49:37.380 shortage of electricity when demand goes up and exceeds the generation being created it doesn't

00:49:43.700 cause it the cold is the exposure of not having enough electricity as is heat when it's 98 102 in

00:49:51.500 the summer in texas in the carolinas exposes that's when peak demand occurs there's not enough electrons in

00:49:57.900 the system left because this intermittent stuff solar that runs four and a half hours a day has replaced

00:50:04.040 huge amounts of what was running all the time before and so the reserve margins of overproduction

00:50:10.960 have shrunk and shrunk carolinas will be down to about eight percent reserve margin if um the duke 0.59

00:50:16.840 power plant persists through 2030 it's becoming about 25 dependent on solar they'll have reserve margins

00:50:23.960 so low that you'll see brownouts and blackouts at a 15 times quantity of now so this is we we need 0.93

00:50:31.540 base load generation invested in this monetary issue is going to create the lack of funding for that

00:50:36.420 we need to stop the credit contraction is is is anybody subsidies for the renewables is any have

00:50:46.000 you seen any politician any leader any culture is anybody out there explaining this to the american

00:50:51.300 people of what we're about to run into with with just our ability to both uh produce energy and then

00:50:57.980 distribute it to where it should be and have have base load minimum base load or do is anybody

00:51:02.500 no one this is a bipartisan issue steve i'm telling you the energy plan for the state of florida for

00:51:09.320 example is to become about 25 dependent on solar power by 2031 which means reserve margins in this state will

00:51:17.960 shrink from 23 to about 14 percent the condition will then be worse than in texas the wind is better

00:51:25.320 texas 28 dependent on wind that runs nine hours a day in florida becomes 30 dependent on solar which

00:51:32.060 runs 5.7 hours a day the reserve margin and brownout issue here will actually be worse and you know

00:51:38.940 republican government has run this state for a long long time into now and the energy plan of describing

00:51:45.060 is the one that has been written by next era the largest wind and solar company utility in the world

00:51:50.700 who makes a huge amount of money building 74 and a half megawatt plants that they don't have to bid on

00:51:56.580 because that's the threshold level below that you don't have to bid in your regulated service territory

00:52:01.740 b these plants cost seven times what a combined cycle plant do they make a great deal more money on the

00:52:08.040 on the cash invested in capex than they do on opex so this is the why it's bipartisan

00:52:15.320 day we gotta bounce we're a bipartisan failure where do people go to get your uh content on social
