00:00:44.820 October 27th, a story erupts
00:00:48.260 about the Pentagon's doomsday plan called Fortress.
00:00:52.680 A plan to keep America fighting
00:00:54.060 if a global war breaks out.
00:00:56.600 Bases ready to operate on their own for 90 days.
00:01:00.000 with supplies stockpiled and ready to go.
00:01:02.660 At the same time, Britain told its citizens to be ready.
00:01:06.380 Germany started preparing bunkers.
00:01:08.900 Governments don't prepare for things that aren't coming.
00:01:12.000 And now the war is getting closer.
00:01:14.060 The United States is reportedly readying an offensive against Iran.
00:01:17.760 The Houthis claim they've hit Saudi oil pumps and the airport in Riyadh.
00:01:22.700 Egypt has now authorized its troops to defend Saudi Arabia.
00:01:26.060 The Middle East is one bad night away from a regional war.
00:01:30.000 And every barrel of oil that runs through it affects what you pay at the pump.
00:01:34.920 But it's not just about the war.
00:01:37.700 The president just issued a warning.
00:01:39.240 In an interview with Time, Donald Trump said, quote,
00:01:42.720 certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly.
00:01:47.820 Read that again.
00:01:49.120 The plan for $40 trillion in national debt is inflation.
00:01:54.120 Inflation that comes out of your paycheck, your savings, and your retirement.
00:01:58.560 Right now, inflation is at 3.7%, nearly double the Fed's 2% target.
00:02:04.200 The last time America let inflation run in the 1970s, it hit almost 15%.
00:02:09.840 And the markets are flashing red.
00:02:12.520 The 10-year Treasury yield just hit 5%, up almost a full point in a year.
00:02:18.600 Oil is near its yearly high.
00:02:20.900 The International Monetary Fund is warning that the AI bubble could burst and take the 0.64
00:02:25.680 global economy with it.
00:02:26.800 Warren Buffett right now is sitting on 365 billion dollars in cash. Unthinkable. But he said he
00:02:36.180 wouldn't want to own anything in, quote, a currency that was really going to hell. And the machines
00:02:42.660 are coming for all of our jobs to make it all worse. Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000
00:02:48.720 employees, more than a quarter of its entire workforce. One developer used AI to build a free
00:02:55.180 version of Adobe Software, a company worth nearly $100 billion. Tech insiders are saying
00:03:01.920 it out loud. Software is over. But what does that mean for you? Businesses surveyed by the
00:03:09.600 Federal Reserve are warning that prices will increase further. UPS and FedEx are hitting
00:03:15.120 customers with fuel surcharges because of the Iran war. Everything you buy this Christmas is
00:03:21.620 going to cost more to make, more to ship, and more to put on the shelf. War in the Middle East. 0.88
00:03:29.300 Debt. The president says inflation will pay off. A market the IMF says could crack while AI is
00:03:36.780 wiping out jobs at an ever-increasing rate. Yesterday, we heard them say, prepare for the
00:03:44.220 end. Today, the signs are everywhere. Something is coming. Will it be the end? We're not sure.
00:03:53.000 So let's break down this story. But before we get started, my friends, make sure you head over

00:04:34.880 last forever, but you will lock it in forever. Let's get into the news. We've got this story
00:04:39.160 from First Post. Inside the doomsday plan to keep U.S. military bases running for 90 days in
00:04:46.340 isolation. Now, we covered this story yesterday, and the big fear, of course, for everyone is war.
00:04:53.540 But as we mentioned near the end of this video, it's not just war that we are facing. Now,
00:04:58.340 obviously, with the escalation of the war in Iran, gas prices going up, and internal conflict in the
00:05:03.900 US, there's a good reason for United States government personnel to say you guys need to
00:05:09.260 prepare. But when you're seeing it happening in Europe as well, it makes it seem like, guys,
00:05:13.920 this war is about to get hot and it's about to go everywhere. But I also think it's important
00:05:19.180 to point out we're on the verge of a major market crisis. This is another reason I think that Donald
00:05:26.180 Trump is saying we need this fortress plan. Military bases need to be autonomous. I'll put
00:05:32.240 like this. Now on the surface, it's easy to say war, right? We get a cyber attack taking out
00:05:37.200 civilian infrastructure and then all of a sudden our military bases can't operate. But I don't
00:05:41.200 think that lines up perfectly. We can harden our cyber security and our defenses for our military
00:05:46.460 bases. It still does make sense so that our military bases can operate for at least 90 days.
00:05:51.420 But something else I think makes a lot more sense. Economic collapse. Think about it. What does it
00:05:58.260 mean to have a military base running for 90 days in isolation. It means they're going to need their
00:06:02.700 own food production, water sourcing, energy production, transportation. Now, how do you get
00:06:09.560 all of that? You're going to have to build farms. You're going to have to build power plants 0.99
00:06:15.340 isolated from the public. Now, why would you need that if we were going to World War III? I mean,
00:06:22.080 look, even if a nuclear bomb hit one of our major cities, it's not going to cripple our
00:06:27.100 general infrastructure. I mean, the military will still be able to operate in other parts of the
00:06:31.880 country. What, are they going to drop nukes on everything but military bases? So why would a
00:06:36.480 military base not be the target, but civilian infrastructure would be? This is a question I've
00:06:41.260 been asking myself since yesterday when we did this story. I'll say it again. If we were to be
00:06:47.420 attacked, cyber attack or otherwise, the first target is going to be military bases. It is going
00:06:52.680 to be power infrastructure. So it makes sense. But hold on. If we build power plants for our
00:06:58.520 military bases, wouldn't they just hit those power plants first? So it doesn't really make
00:07:04.620 sense that this is about war. My friends, I think this is about the economy. The system is buckling
00:07:12.460 and it's about to implode. And if the economy breaks down, then how do you fund? How do you
00:07:19.120 operate, how do you power military bases? Look, a bomb can blow up a single power plant. A lot of
00:07:24.420 bombs can blow up a lot of power plants, but a crippled economy will shut all of the power down.
00:07:30.260 Which brings me to a statement from Donald Trump. We've got this from Yahoo Finance.
00:07:36.000 Trump's latest warning is scaring retirement savers. What would Warren Buffett do to stay
00:07:42.840 ahead? That's the word gets interesting. They say no one wants to see their hard-earned money
00:07:48.020 slowly lose its purchasing power. And that's why rising inflation tends to terrify investors and
00:07:53.440 savers, especially those on fixed incomes. Unfortunately, this uncomfortable economic
00:07:58.180 situation is rearing its ugly head again, with September inflation jumping to 3.7, well above
00:08:04.260 the Federal Reserve's target of 2%. Now, again, you may be saying, Tim, inflation, bond yields,
00:08:09.320 I don't understand a lot of this. Let me make it very simple. Donald Trump stated in an interview
00:08:14.740 the solution to $40 trillion in debt is inflation. Now, that's terrifying. You know why?
00:08:23.120 It means that with this war and with the general state of the economy pertaining to Europe and
00:08:28.680 other nations, we are generating massive amounts of debt. That means the US government is offering
00:08:34.280 up money to people it does not have. So let me give you the really simple version. I do know
00:08:39.600 most of you probably already understand all of this. So for those that do, let's break it down
00:08:44.060 for those that are saying, I don't understand what this means. And I don't expect you to.
00:08:48.100 This stuff is intentionally complicated to keep you from understanding it. The U.S. government
00:08:52.380 says we need a missile. It is one million dollars. So weapons contractor says we can produce that
00:08:58.320 missile for you for one million dollars. The U.S. government says make it and we'll pay you with the
00:09:03.980 invoice. The only problem is the U.S. does not have that money. This is producing a weapon with
00:09:09.700 a million dollars in debt, debt spending from the federal government, which is now at 40 trillion
00:09:14.300 dollars. Well, guess what? That missile manufacturer is going to come and demand that money. And what
00:09:19.600 if the U.S. defaults and can't pay it? Many people say that would trigger an economic collapse
00:09:26.440 because now this weapon manufacturer can't pay its bills, can't pay its vendors or its employees.
00:09:31.540 Everybody loses their job and it all goes tits up. Well, then how are they going to pay off a
00:09:37.440 trillion in debt if they don't have the money. This is where it gets scary. Inflation. Let me
00:09:45.100 put it like this. If $40 trillion can buy you 40 missiles, they're very expensive missiles,
00:09:51.240 you need only make the money worth less. To put it simply, if an apple costs $1 and you go to a
00:09:59.160 man and say, give me the apple, I'll pay it back at the end of the month, you have one apple's
00:10:05.100 worth of debt, right? So what do you do? If we make the money worthless, I'm only going to owe
00:10:12.080 him a quarter of an apple. This is what the US government does all the time. They're basically
00:10:17.900 extracting the value of your money to pay off their debts. It's a complicated system intentionally
00:10:23.480 because you don't notice. You look at a hundred bucks in your bank account and you say, I got
00:10:28.020 a hundred dollars. I'm going to save it. Well, a month later, you can only, so let's say apples are
00:10:33.900 a buck. You have $100. I can buy a hundred apples right now. You know what? Instead of buying the
00:10:38.200 apples, I'm going to keep the money. Well, a month later, apples now cost $2. You now only have the
00:10:44.440 ability to buy 50 apples. Your purchasing power was cut in half. And that means people who hold
00:10:51.640 debt, their debt was cut in half all the same. This means your groceries, your gas, your rent,
00:10:58.640 all prices double. That way the government can tax you double and then their debt is easier to
00:11:05.820 pay off. That is a nightmare scenario. But it's not the only thing to worry about. Inflation
00:11:12.360 obviously is really bad and it's really hard for regular people to understand. But let's talk about
00:11:17.100 the artificial intelligence bubble and how we are on the verge of a nuclear explosion.
00:11:22.600 Right now, my friends, Microsoft has just offered a buyout of a quarter of its staff.
00:11:30.160 60,000 jobs gone in an instance.
00:11:33.660 Why?
00:11:34.880 Let's take a look at Adobe.
00:11:36.380 I've been screaming to the high heavens, my friends.
00:11:38.840 Please pay attention.
00:11:40.820 Adobe is a $100 billion company.
00:11:44.260 They don't have a product anymore.
00:11:47.140 I need you to really just understand this.
00:11:50.980 The Adobe Suite, it is a series of programs of software used by people to produce media
00:11:56.960 and files and illustrations, and it costs a lot of money.
00:12:01.560 They generate something like $20 billion a year off of subscriptions to their software platform.
00:12:08.540 Someone decompiled, broke it all down, and rebuilt it from scratch using AI,
00:12:13.480 and now the entire suite is free.
00:12:16.300 This means overnight, Adobe has nothing to sell anymore.
00:12:23.360 Nothing.
00:12:24.420 Let me put it like this with apples.
00:12:27.140 The Adobe Apple shop sells apples for a dollar and you walk up every day and they make billions
00:12:33.040 selling apples.
00:12:34.020 And then one day across the street, a guy plants a bunch of apple trees and says, there's
00:12:39.560 50 million apple trees.
00:12:41.620 Take the apples for free.
00:12:43.860 How could a Apple store possibly remain in business
00:12:47.460 when across the street, it is free?
00:12:50.960 And what happens to all of those jobs
00:12:53.400 and the entire market cap?
00:12:56.080 We are talking about millionaires
00:12:58.080 evaporating net worth overnight.
00:13:01.400 And what do you think these people are gonna do?
00:13:03.080 Now take a look at Microsoft.
00:13:04.420 These same people are saying,
00:13:05.860 we are breaking down and rebuilding
00:13:07.980 Microsoft's entire software library for free.
00:13:12.280 How can Microsoft exist as a company?
00:13:16.160 So this is where it gets real scary.
00:13:17.720 Because it's not just about AI taking your jobs away.
00:13:20.600 It's about making software itself obsolete.
00:13:23.960 It's one thing to say an accountant no longer has a job
00:13:27.360 because the AI can just calculate math.
00:13:30.060 It's another thing when proprietary programs all become free.
00:13:35.560 Because it's open source.
00:13:37.280 Somebody just cloned and said, have fun.
00:13:40.260 Now, here's the big problem.
00:13:42.120 When AI is producing all of these things for dirt costs,
00:13:45.860 I mean, a couple hundred bucks,
00:13:47.360 and you've just knocked out a $100 billion corporation,
00:13:51.460 well, it's not going to work.
00:13:53.360 The important thing people need to understand,
00:13:55.640 AI companies right now,
00:13:57.140 they're using the big tech VC model
00:13:59.000 of charging pennies on the dollar to destroy the market,
00:14:01.960 and then once they own it, jack the prices up.
00:14:04.480 We've seen this with certain apps,
00:14:06.700 pertaining to ride share, for instance.
00:14:08.320 If a cab from, say, Manhattan to Brooklyn, let's say you're going, let's make it easy,
00:14:14.300 from Manhattan to the airport, it's going to cost you $200, right?
00:14:18.020 I mean, it's gotten expensive.
00:14:19.680 That cab is expensive.
00:14:21.660 So a rideshare company says, we're going to make it so that it's $150.
00:14:25.920 Now, we're going to lose $50 on this, but everyone will choose our app, put the cab
00:14:31.800 company out of business, and then once we're the monopoly, we jack the price back up to
00:14:36.580 200 or even 250. So right now, all these AI companies, in order to get mass adoption and
00:14:44.660 training data, are selling the service for pennies on the dollar and burning trillions.
00:14:51.440 People warn the stock that is going to be purchased for all these companies as they do
00:14:56.460 these IPOs, and all of these companies and all the investments and everything they're disrupting
00:15:00.240 is going to blow up the economy. Let me put it simply. I already explained that jobs are
00:15:04.860 disappearing. Microsoft is terrifying. But now what happens when an AI company intentionally
00:15:11.860 destroys all of these software companies and white collar jobs, but then can't maintain its 0.56
00:15:17.820 own servers? It's about to get real bad, my friends. The register writes, the IMF has become
00:15:25.480 the latest financial heavyweight to warn the AI spending frenzy could end in tears. In its latest
00:15:31.260 Global Financial Stability Report published on Tuesday, the IMF warns that financial markets
00:15:35.780 are increasingly exposed to an AI-driven correction, especially if the billions poured
00:15:41.300 into the tech failed to deliver the profits investors expect. AI investment has helped
00:15:45.660 keep markets and economic growth ticking along, but the IMF fears the boom could quickly turn
00:15:50.260 to bust if the promised profits failed to materialize. With tech giants borrowing billions
00:15:56.040 and investors piling into the same handful of companies, a sell-off could leave more
00:16:00.400 than just Silicon Valley nursing a hangover. The watchdog is also concerned about circular
00:16:05.140 financing arrangements in which AI firms act as one another's investors, financiers, and customers.
00:16:12.480 These deals might help keep the AI money machine running, but they also mean financial trouble at
00:16:16.780 one company could quickly become someone else's problem. So let me break it down for you, my
00:16:21.500 friends, in the stupidest of ways. The scary thing about this is that the tech companies, 0.99
00:16:28.000 software, AI, are taking investment from hardware companies. And the hardware companies are taking
00:16:34.580 investment from the software companies. They are basically pumping money back and forth to make it
00:16:39.180 look like they got money on the books. But they're basically just burning each other's funds and
00:16:44.580 running to empty. Your sales order says one thing. Your inventory says another. Your spreadsheet says
00:16:51.100 good luck. Odoo brings your business together on a single platform. From sales and accounting to
00:16:56.060 inventory and marketing. Visit odoo.com to book a demo. It's odoo.com. I think we're going to see
00:17:03.420 a nuclear bomb go off, not due to war, my friends. So I'll say it again. Yesterday, everybody says
00:17:10.840 with this story about fortress, the big war is coming. Iran is escalating because my friends, 0.98
00:17:15.800 it's easy to understand. Really, it is. Houthis claim attack on Saudi oil pumps and Riyadh airport. 1.00
00:17:22.080 This is bad news. We need oil. Gas prices are going to go up. But I do not believe this is
00:17:28.820 the sole reason why we are going to see a collapse and why Donald Trump and many foreign
00:17:34.820 countries are saying it's time to stock up and prepare. In the UK, they said you need cash and
00:17:41.700 coins ready in case payment systems go down. Why would payment systems go down in a hot war?
00:17:48.840 I mean, we see cyber attacks for sure, but you're not going to launch a single cyber
00:17:53.780 attack that's going to block every single bank, right?
00:17:57.160 What if the issue is just that ain't nobody got no jobs?
00:18:01.540 Yeah, when AI nukes all these jobs, what happens?
00:18:06.060 People are going to have no access to the economy. 0.98
00:18:09.160 ATMs, there's going to be a run in the banks.
00:18:10.680 They're going to pull out what little they have, and it's going to be panic.
00:18:14.680 Now look, Egypt could send troops to Saudi Arabia.
00:18:17.440 I mean, these are major escalations.
00:18:19.220 So war is a real consideration.
00:18:21.060 And it does tie into what we're talking about with economics.
00:18:24.720 I'm going to put it like this.
00:18:26.460 As the war drives up oil prices, and I do believe oil prices were going up regardless of the war, but the war is certainly making things worse.
00:18:34.060 You are going to see costs increase.
00:18:36.340 You are going to see people be strained and struggle.
00:18:39.480 And right now, with Microsoft offering a voluntary buyout of more than a quarter of its entire workforce, 60,000 employees, my friends, these people are about to lose all of their jobs.
00:18:51.740 Where do they go?
00:18:53.400 Where do they go?
00:18:56.360 Next year is going to be absolutely insane.
00:19:00.340 I don't even know if I will have a job.
00:19:02.720 I think many of these people are going to go hard politics.
00:19:05.740 These are white-collar, college-educated workers who probably are making over 100,000 a year.
00:19:11.040 Not all of them, but many of them.
00:19:12.440 And now they're being told, your job no longer exists.
00:19:16.860 Neo-Luddite revolution, here we come.
00:19:19.380 Because these people are going to say, through no fault of my own, I have lost my job.
00:19:24.480 How?
00:19:25.280 How do I feed my family?
00:19:26.940 And I will be damned if my children don't eat.
00:19:29.700 We are about to see a massive influx of individuals seeking welfare benefits to which Elon Musk said, we are going to need a major UBI and a high income one at that because my friends, for the economy to keep functioning, you cannot have a man whose family lives on $120,000 a year overnight lose access to it.
00:19:52.860 Why? Well, the car they bought, they bought a Tesla and they got to pay three, 400 bucks a
00:19:58.060 month on that. They're not going to be able to afford that. If you're giving them a $30,000
00:20:01.940 a year UBI, they're going to say, I'm going to lose my car. It's going to get repossessed.
00:20:06.400 I live in a house. Can't pay for it. I never saw this coming. Had no idea I was going to lose my
00:20:10.700 job. Can't pay my mortgage. Just $3,000 a month. What do I do? So you go to these individuals and
00:20:16.900 you say, we'll give you unemployment checks. And they're going to say the amount of UBI or
00:20:23.760 unemployment you give me will not cover these costs. I have no other skills. How am I going
00:20:28.920 to work in this environment? And we are not talking, my friends, about a few thousand people
00:20:33.040 here and there. We are talking about hundreds of thousands to potentially millions. Take a look at
00:20:39.380 TechSpot. Software is over. Developer uses AI to build free Adobe clones after frustration with
00:20:46.820 cancellation fees. Photoshop, Premiere, five other products, all free. Indeed, my friends,
00:20:55.200 Adobe has tens of thousands of employees. They don't have a product anymore. So when again,
00:21:01.980 they say something like, you need to prepare for 90 days with no grid, I say this unto you,
00:21:10.060 my friends. It's not about war. War plays a role. Don't get me wrong. But again,
00:21:15.760 A nuclear bomb going off in a major city or even in many cities is not cutting off the entire grid.
00:21:21.580 Military bases will still have access to supplies, albeit hindered.
00:21:25.320 The one thing that really will send a shockwave through the entire military base apparatus is going to be when the economy takes a hit.
00:21:34.160 If people don't have jobs, how are they going to buy food?
00:21:38.520 They're going to steal food or we're going to have social benefits.
00:21:41.520 This means as the economy takes a major hit and we are struggling to figure out how to
00:21:46.160 produce enough food when some people work and some don't, the military needs to be independent
00:21:50.420 of all of these constraints.
00:21:51.840 When there's a run on the banks, when there are gasoline shortages, the military needs
00:21:56.380 to be independent of all of these things.
00:21:58.920 And that is not something a nuclear bomb will just do overnight.
00:22:01.980 Not that I believe a nuclear bomb is going to fall on us, but rising gas prices, if it
00:22:06.380 is war, could disrupt the economy.
00:22:08.060 I believe economic factors are why they are saying military needs to be hardened against
00:22:12.940 civilian infrastructure.
00:22:13.660 It is not hot conflict.
00:22:16.020 It is economic.
00:22:18.800 The Daily Caller says businesses warn another round of price increases could be coming.
00:22:24.180 American businesses warn that higher energy costs could drive additional price increases
00:22:27.820 as existing contracts expire.
00:22:30.640 Companies in several regions expect to raise prices as they renegotiated agreements covering
00:22:34.880 supplies and deliveries.
00:22:36.660 I'm going to put it simply for you all, my friends.
00:22:39.940 Thankfully, Santa's sleigh doesn't run on diesel, they say, indeed.
00:22:44.140 Prices are not coming down.
00:22:46.040 Donald Trump and Republicans will not be able to bring prices down.
00:22:49.260 It's not going to happen.
00:22:50.780 In fact, they're hoping to pay off all the debt they've racked up with this war
00:22:56.120 and with other spending by making things more expensive.
00:23:00.900 You know, a few years ago, well, a few, more like eight years ago,
00:23:04.480 maybe 10 years ago, actually. I would take the train from New York City to Washington, D.C.,
00:23:09.360 and it'd be about $50 maybe, $30 to $50. Today, $300. If you want a good train, if you want a
00:23:16.800 weird scheduled time, maybe you can get $80 for some of them or about $180. But it looks like the
00:23:23.780 median price may be close to like $200. That's mind-blowing to me. I would take the train from
00:23:28.820 New York to D.C. for various—I had an apartment down here when I lived in New York because sometimes
00:23:32.620 had come down for the political stuff.
00:23:34.460 And I might get 30 bucks in the train, 30 bucks.
00:23:36.860 And now hundreds, they're going to jack the prices up.
00:23:41.220 That way, if they owe a trillion dollars
00:23:44.020 and a trillion dollars used to buy you a lot,
00:23:46.980 but now it buys you one apple,
00:23:48.420 they're basically paying you back one apple
00:23:50.320 when they took the world from you.
00:23:53.380 Donald Trump has issued this warning.
00:23:56.100 The Pentagon is making these preparations.
00:23:58.480 Trump is explicitly stating the prices will go up
00:24:00.860 so that we can pay down the net.
00:24:02.620 Because right now, the third largest spending on our budget is interest on the debt.
00:24:10.120 So it's not looking good.
00:24:12.060 And with Microsoft announcing these layoffs, I hope you were all preparing for the worst. 1.00
00:24:16.420 I don't want to be Black Pilly, right? 1.00
00:24:18.900 I mean, look, humanity will survive.
00:24:21.540 But when people say, Tim, you're such a downer.
00:24:23.980 Don't tell these stories.
00:24:25.220 You know, be positive.
00:24:26.020 I am saying this unto you, my friends.
00:24:27.660 we only make it through to the light if we accept and prepare for the darkness that comes.
00:24:34.080 Because if you do nothing and say, don't be a downer, don't tell us night is coming or winter
00:24:38.180 is coming. Well, then when it does come, you freeze to death. And that really is the worst
00:24:41.500 case scenario. But think about this. Winter is coming, my friends. And if you do nothing,
00:24:47.200 you will freeze to death. At the same time, winter is coming. If you prepare your home,
00:24:52.420 I assure you this. You will sit beside your window, cozy and cuddled up with a nice book
00:24:58.700 under a blanket, with your fireplace and the TV on, and you'll look outside and you'll see all
00:25:02.840 the snow. And you'll think to yourself, my, how beautiful. And the snow will not be a threat.
00:25:09.820 It is not a black pill to say that winter is coming because, well, winter is dangerous
00:25:16.160 and death is all around us. But we've prepared for it and we've come to love our winters,
00:25:21.620 to play in the snow because we've prepared. That means as these things come, conflict,
00:25:27.980 crisis, financial disasters, if you are prepared, it will simply be a cold winter.
00:25:33.620 Maybe you like the summer. And for many people, they do like the winter. Why?
00:25:37.680 If the economy takes a hit, you can buy things real cheap. It's your opportunity to get property
00:25:42.280 and to build things up. I'm not saying it's going to be good for everybody. Death will come with it.
00:25:47.400 Just be prepared.
