Ukraine signs deal with U.S., Canada blames Trump, and India ready to destroy Pakistan

In this episode, I dive into the whirlwind of global events shaking the world. I kick things off with a quick look at Trump’s first 100 days back in office, unpacking the headlines and controversies. But the real bombshell drops mid-recording as official reports confirm Ukraine has signed a game-changing Mineral Rights deal with the U.S., raising questions about its implications for global power dynamics. Meanwhile, Canada’s pointing fingers at Trump for their post-election woes, and tensions in South Asia hit a boiling point as India gears up for a potential showdown with Pakistan. Join me for a fast-paced breakdown.

0:03 Bey like you just let me in my way. Welcome World Blazed listeners to episode seventy four, and I apologize. I missed a week. I missed a week, but something happened today. Just as I was about to press record, hot off the presses, Ukraine signs the mineral deal, the one that they said would never happen, the one they said that Trump was literally just being a big bad bully, big bad Trump, big bad America. Why should a mineral deal ever be signed? And yet here we are today.

0:46 Then I'm going to bet I may possibly be the first podcaster. This may be the first episode you hear where I am able to talk about this because this is still developing, and I am recording this today, April thirtieth, twenty twenty five, at six pm specific time in the USA. Yeah, but before I get there, let's talk about Well, let me touch on the first one hundred days of Trump. Now, it's been going around that the first hundred days of Trump has been a disaster. People are saying he's not getting it done, he's not living up to his promises.

1:28 And look, I'm going to say something that needs to be said. Sure, possibly maybe Well I'll just say that he hasn't held up to all of his promises. And is it all on Trump or is it really on cashtel Pambondi, et cetera. Now, Trump did declassify the RFK files, and well it is declassified. We really didn't learn anything new. And then there's the Epstein files, the Epstein list, where's that at? Apparently there are boxes in boxes of information and evidence that, well, we still don't have an answer for, nor do we see any arrests. Now the Trump administration has gone and arrested what may be considered to be radical judges, leftist judges, judges that are fighting against the Trump administration and even against the constitution to get their team ahead over the finish line with midterms coming up.

2:28 But lo and. Behold, justice prevails. Justice has been done because, just as it has been said in previous administrations, and more to the point, the Biden administration, nobody is above the law, even President Donald Trump, who was at that time former President Donald Trump. But with the roles reversed, all we hear is the screaming, the crying, the gnashing of teeth, the dictator, the dictator, They say, Trump the fascist. Yet there's really not much that is fascist about what he's doing. He is putting America first. Now, can we say that we are all giant fanboys of President Trump. I'm not.

3:14 I'm not. I look. I voted for him because of his America First policy, just as many did. And the other thing that we voted for was well closing the damn border that the previous administration said couldn't happen. And anytime it tried to come to the table and be presented as something that could be done, they tried to tie other financial obligations to the bill, such as unchecked funding to Ukraine and other nations to get things done as a way to like, you know, dangle the carrot so that we can just say, okay, fine, we'll vote for it because we really want this border clothes we really need to get under control, not considering the damage being done to the United States, but just letting all these people through un checked people, people that ended up actually being criminals. And while everybody said that Trump was a racist when he previously stated that many of these illegals are rapists, murderers, and just downright nasty people, much of what he said actually came out well, came out to be true. Now again, I don't necessarily agree with everything that is being done in terms of taming the illegal immigration issue. We still have to discuss whether or not.

4:33 Look people who have been here a long time, who were born here, people who made a life. Now listen, they may have been here twenty years, twenty nine years, thirty years, and all of a sudden, the long arm of the law just catches up with them. And we can make an argument that if they were contributing person, a contributing individual to our society, contributing, paying the taxes, making a living, making better not a criminal, not being a criminal person, not even trying to push a criminal element or enterprise whatsoever, just being a normal human being, a human being looking to live a better life, then I can see the argument. I can see the argument where, well, look, maybe maybe we give this guy another shot, another chance, this woman another another chance to live out the life the dream that they wanted. But then where do we stop.

5:27 Where does that slippery slope stop. Do we just turn a blind eye to this person who breaks the law and then apply it to the other person that we deem to be more of a threat. That is the question, a question that I honestly don't know if I haven't answer to you yet. I'm still thinking on this one. And if you have a solution, if you have any kind of opinion or idea on that particular issue, please let me know. Go to the website, feel the form contact me, let me know what's going on. You can leave a comment on whichever podcast aggregator used, whether it's Apple, Spotify, Good Pods, et cetera. But getting back to the border, the first one hundred days within Trump's office, with Trump being the president of this United States, he somehow did the impossible. He actually closed the border, the one thing that the Democrat Party, the previous administration said could never happen.

6:25 It was too risky, too hard, too expensive, would never work. I have a video to play of Victor Davis Hansen who literally breaks this down perfectly. Give this listen. He has completely reversed ten thousand people coming in a day, over three hundred thousand a month, twelve million in four years, to essentially ninety seven ninety eight percent of the border is secure. In fact, there is no open border now. Now he has pivoted to try to address the twelve million people that Joe Biden not only let in but scattered all over the United States on often state federal, local subsidy. That's going to be a task. But he has shut the border. No comprehensive immigration reform, none of the things they said was necessary, none of the things that said that it was impossible, that hampered by. He just did it. We've never seen anything like it, and they have it.

7:23 And the reason there wasn't any comprehensive reforms because we didn't need one. What happened, what literally happened, is the law was literally applied. That's it. Our laws were applied, Our laws were enforced. Tom Holman took his position serious and did his job. And even though that's a win for the United States, we still have the opposing party, because look, it's all about the team, it's not about what's good for the American people, right, they still find a way to make it a loss, to make it something negative. All right, regardless, I'm calling this a win.

8:05 And so within the first one hundred days, Trump has achieved many things, many things that, to be honest, the way he went about them were very questionable made us scratch our heads like is this really going to work? But yet here we Are we are a better nation right now? Are we the most respected? Now that's up for debate. I can't say that we necessarily are when it comes to our position on the world stage. But fast forward to now today, everybody is looking to the United States for help. Everybody is now back to looking to the United States to try to make a deal, to become a better partner. And let's just be honest, the United States, we ourselves for those who live in the United States, we also need to be better partners to our allies. Enough for this tit for tat bullshit.

8:54 Enough with this, you know, cute little jabs about you know, buying Greenland and making Canada to fifty first state and you know, look, that was all fun at the time. But let's let's be grown ups now, let's move on from that. Yes they were jokes. Yes they were jabs. I don't believe they were serious. Some people try to say they were serious remarks by President Trump and his administration, but I don't know. I don't think so. I think that it's time to just look let that be, move on, take your wins, hold your head up high, and continue to develop this nation back into the leader of the world that it should be and was, and show our allies that we once again can be trusted and respected.

9:40 So hats off to President Trump for his first one hundred days. But we still have work to do. We still have to fix our relationships, and we still have to fix exactly how we are looked at and perceived by the rest of the world. And with that being said, the chatter, the breaking news, the hot stuff that happened today as I'm recording, the talks of the Mineral deal, the mineral deal that they said would never happen, that did nothing but benefit the US and the only reason we were trying to do this is because Trump's just a big, bad bully. But yet Ukraine agreed, Ukraine signed this deal and it wasn't really called the the Mineral Deal.

10:21 I think it was the Economic Reform Deal or whatnot. But here's a clip before the deal was signed, and you'll hear Trump speaking and referring to US Treasury Secretary of Scott Besson because this was something that he put together. But this was before the deal was signed. There's a lot of controversy, a lot of mod if maybe possibly, I don't know, it's more talk. This is never going to happen. Trump hasn't come through. Well, listen to this in twenty four hours or so. Is it true that the Ukraine minerals deal is about to be signed in the next twenty four hours or so? There's some reports saying that. And if it's true, has the deal changed it all from the last time we've heard that? Well, I let us got to answer to the question because he's responsible for me. Yeah, our fund was ready to sign.

11:03 The Ukrainians decided last night and make some last minute changes. Well, we're sure that they will reconsider that and we are ready to sign this acternoon. Here if they are, can you talk about this last minute changes? What was removed or clients? And nothing's been removed. It's the same agreement that would agree. To on the weekend, all right, So there you go, no changes, no amendments whatsoever, sticking to the deal. Now. Now, this was stated before the deal was signed, and right away many people were like, yeah, this is bullshit, we heard this before, same old story, blah blah blah. But it happened. It happened because literally about an hour maybe two hours before I actually press the record button for this episode, here is US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant making a formal announcement.

11:54 Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting piece, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing the United States Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate, and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery. The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this fund in collaboration with the Government of Ukraine. Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end. The killing must stop in Both the United States and the Government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership for both the Ukrainian and American people.

13:11 Now, why is this very important? You also may be asking how does this contribute in any way towards a peace deal? Well, this break this down a little bit. I'm going to try to unpack this. And again this is still developing, so by the time you hear this, there may be other things that have been revealed, other news ss come out. But as of now, as I'm speaking, as I'm recording, this is very significant because what people need to understand is this now puts the United States of America directly in the conflict. While it's not boots on the ground, an actual military presence, at least not as of yet, it signifies that the United States is now committed to Ukraine, it to them in a way that protects their investment and the well being and economic growth of Ukraine. Because now we're tied at the hip, as as they say, we're now in it. We have to put our best foot forward and making sure that Ukraine is taken care of because if Ukraine falls, this whole thing is for not it doesn't matter. And what's interesting is well, as of now, anyway, Putin hasn't responded, and I'm wondering what his response will be to this, because Putin very well knows that this now brings the US directly into the conflict. And while people were talking

14:43 about how frustrated Trump was that Putin wouldn't come to terms, wouldn't sign the peace agreement, how he was playing around by going, oh, you know, we'll give you three days a piece here on Easter, and then we'll do a little piece, you know, during May fifth, sixth. I believe I forget the actual date so that, you know, the Sians can celebrate their event or holiday. While he's doing this, he then turns around and just bombarding Ukraine with rockets and missiles and then goes, okay, no, well no, seriously, I'm I'm I'm we're going to agree to the peace. Yeah, I go, peace for three days, don't worry. But now Putin can't play these games. Putin absolutely can't play these games.

15:24 But you know, the Russians must have known. The Russians must have known about this development, and just based on the previous video where they were talking about whether or not Ukraine was going to sign the deal because they might be making adjustments and whatnot, the word must have gotten out that an agreement was literally on the horizon. Because Russia themselves In fact, there are reports that came out today breaking reports as of today, again recording April thirtieth, twenty twenty five, there reports that the secretary of the Russian Security Council, it can't pronounce the name. I apologize Shoygu. I believe Shoigu. I should be better at this. I'm sorry, but let's just say the Secretary of the Russian Security Council announced that any deployment of Western military onto Ukraine soil would be unacceptable. He also further went on to say that these military units would be regarded as legitimate targets for the Russian armed forces. Now that's a strong statement.

16:36 That is literally directly signaling to the United States that, look, you may sign this deal with Ukraine, but we're not going to take your shit. See, they're hell bent on the mission of actually taking Ukraine. Because regardless of what you hear from this media outlet, that media outlet, or this you know analyst, that anamal, etc. Blah blah blah, let's just be honest, most of it's all fucking bullshit. Regardless, Putin has been very adamant, very adamant in the past, and has dropped many hints in recent times about reuniting the old USSR. He wants all territories to be back in and under Russian control. And that's what he wants because I believe it's his legacy. His time's getting shorter, he's getting older. He's been the de facto authoritarian leader and ruler of Russia for decades, and as of now, he's probably looking back at his life, looking back on everything he's done. He's like, we still haven't done it.

17:47 We still haven't done it. So is this. Threat a real threat by the Secretary of the Russian Security Council? Will they actually attack Western military forces if they set foot on Ukraine and soil? Is it a bluff? Is this their last ditch effort to try to hold the Western forces at bay? Possibly it could be. But regardless, regardless, this deal, this economic reform deal, this mineral deal, as everybody calls it, puts the US directly in the conflict. And if you don't believe this happened, it's also been confirmed by the current while she's currently serving as the first Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and also simultaneously as the Minister of Economic Development and Trade for Ukraine. So she went on to say, on her expulse on behalf of the government of Ukraine, I signed the agreement on the establishment of a United States Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.

18:57 Together with the United States, we are creating the fund that will tract global investment into our country. And there you have it, confirmation from Ukraine themselves admitting the deal's been signed. So what's the next steps, what's the next move? You see, this is a very important development because with the United States now involved, now there to protect their investment. I believe that this gives the UK and France, to be quite honest, have been all huff and puff about this whole situation, saying they're going to send this troop, this air force, blah blah blah whatever. They've never done a damn thing. Let's just be quite honest. But now that the US is going to be involved directly due to this agreement, mark my words, you will now start to see both the UK and France get a lot more testy with Russia and probably get a little more direct with Putin. I wouldn't, I really wouldn't. So let's not dismiss the importance of this mineral deal or economic reform agreement. This really does change things in regard to the Russia Ukraine conflict, a conflict that needed to end long ago. Now, does this mean that Trump will now be able to twist Zelensky's arm into accepting the loss

20:28 and annexation of Crimea, basically about twenty percent I believe of Ukrainian land Putin said belongs to him. Will Zelensky accept that in light of this deal, knowing that the remaining land that belongs to Ukraine will be protected and be under the wing of the United States of America. That's yet to be seen, because, if anything, Zelensky has been proven to be very stubborn and not willing to back down regardless of the situation, and he has every right, I believe he has every right to say, no, that's our land, this isn't yours, never belonged to you, even though it can be argued that those were Russian speaking peoples who had more sympathy or alignment with Russia itself, But regardless, it was still Ukraine, and many consider it to still be Ukraine. So that can be the fly in the ointment here, because that has been the sticking point for Zelenski. Now I'm going to guarantee this that Ukraine is not going to demilitarize, just as Putin once which was one of Putin's demands. He literally demanded that Ukraine be demilitarized, that twenty percent of its lands be annexed to Russia or be accepted as annex to Russia.

21:51 But is that going to happen? Is that really going to be considered now that the United States has this agreement with Ukraine, and will the UK in France back to the United States of America, Will they back Trump's play in this whole thing? Very interesting, and I will say, if you want some more in depth insight on this, and I know that it hasn't been released yet, but I'm very sure. I'm very positive that my friend Curvin Oakwin, the host of This Week, explained that he and his wife will be talking about this. Bet your ass he will. And I'm going to encourage you to go listen to that episode when it drops that I know it's going to drop, and he's going to give you probably a much more neutral perspective on this, with better insight than I because I mean, Hick, he's an intelligence analyist. I mean, I'm not going to compete with that, But hey, I'm here to give you my opinion based on my knowledge and what I know. And at this point, this is where I'm gonna take a little break from the show.

22:51 I just want to go ahead and acknowledge other independent podcasters. Look, many of you support me, and I just asked you to support my friends. You support my Brother podcast, the Manual Faunt Show. I want you to support Whiskey Hell podcast. Whiskey Hell, great time, good people, very knowledgeable. If you want to hear some unhinged rants that are pretty much on point, you got to listen to I had to say it. So there's some really good podcasts out there that if you enjoy what I'm doing and you want to get more in depth into the geopolitics, again, listen to This Week Explain. If you want no bullshit takes on news and current events, listen to My Brother and the Manual font Show. And if you want to hear something kind of similar to what I do, but on a much more, much more RANTI version, I guess I would say, listen to I had to say it and by all means very similar to what I do as well.

23:49 The Whiskey Hell Podcast or Whiskey Hell News. You can find everybody that I just mentioned on every podcast aggregator out there, and that is my PSA for the episode. And now, continuing with this developing situation, the assigned deal with Ukraine, the deal between the US and Ukraine, that is makes you wonder, makes you wonder how much of this was in play, how much of this was already agreed to before it was announced, because other developments that came out in and around this were surrounding this deal. Is that I would say, around April twenty six or so, or April twenty ninth, somewhere in those last few days, American F sixteen airframes were spotted being loaded being loaded onto Ukraine operated strategic airlifters at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, Arizona. Here on US soil. We're loading a U Ukrainian airframe with F sixteen fighters and they're on their way to Poland. Now that's what's been reported, and this was before the deal was signed. Today April thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Again, it's going to be very interesting to see how Putin responds to all of this. It

25:19 really will be. But let's all hope that the response is that of peace, of making a deal and just ending this conflict. Now. I know you don't want to hear this, especially if you're a Democrat left this liberal and you listen to the show, because you know I'm not all in on the right, although I definitely lean more that way these days. I'll be quite honest. You know, I've never heard that, but I have to say it, and I have to say it. This all seems like winning. Trump is winning. Whether you like him or not, He's winning. He's winning so much it's upsetting our neighbors to the north, Canada.

26:03 You liked that, Segue. I tried to make it work to hang in there with me. So Canada. They just had their election, an election that a lot of people say looked very similar to the twenty twenty election that we had, where Trump looked like the clear winner and somehow Biden got eighty million something plus extra votes or whatnot. Look that was in the past, right, we moved on. Some people never did. Some people will never get over that. But regardless, here we are now. Trump's in office. He's doing his best, and we hope that his best turns out to be a positive for both the US and the world. Fingers crossed. Let's hope he keeps his composure.

26:49 Well the best at Trump can anyway. But let's get back to Canada, because Canada seems to be up in arms, screaming and huffing and literally literally throwing up the middle finger at the US and saying fuck Trump. The Liberal Party in Canada has won the election Carney secures, according to t CBS Live or I believe that's where this report's from. It might be wrong, but anyway, it's a live news report and this came from that report up in Canada where they state Canada's Carney secures historic election when and says and says, get this, Trump will never break us. Okay, is this not getting ridiculous? Canada? Your politics are your own, You make your own decisions. But I have to say, what's interesting about this is everybody was complaining about being under the thumb of Trudeau. Okay, an unhinged ultra leftist by the way, and I have nothing wrong with someone beyond left. We need perspective, we need different views, we need balance, we absolutely do. But Trudeau went off the deep end and his actions during COVID were definitely very authoritarian all the way down to literally like taking control of people's bank accounts. Overstepping for sure,

28:19 but again that's Canada, not the United States. Canada makes their own decisions. A lot of people in Canada were complaining about again the immigration problem, just like we have here in the United States, and that was all under Trudeau's reign. It seemed that Canada was about to turn the corner as they seemed to want to be a little bit more conservative. But yet somehow in the twelve hour Canada pulls out a liberal win and are now under the same type of rule as they just didn't want Trudeau, the one that they they were disappointed with, and all Canada has. And let me slow down here, because I have Canadian listeners, I want you all to know I do not hate Canada. I'm not one of those one of those maga type people where it's like fuck Canada, fuck Mexico. I don't believe that Canada is our neighbor. Okay, we're allies and we better remain that way.

29:24 I want Canada to do well because you're right next door, you're right there above us. But I got to ask the question, how did this happen? How did you go back? How did you go back? I'm going to play a take from Patrick Bett David. This was a live post that he put out on x Now. I don't listen to a lot of Patrick Bett David. I know who he is, of course I do. I respect him. I have listened to a show, but this popped up on my feed, and I gotta say it's I think it's funny more than anything. I also believe it sounds a bit unhinge coming from Patrick bed David, but he does make some good points. If anything, Just give us a listen, Canadian conservatives.

30:08 I got some unsolicited advice for you the top You're not gonna like, but I'm gonna give it you anyways. You know what you sound like every time you say it's Trump's fault why Pierre lost? Do you know what you sound like every time you say it's Trump's fault why Pierre Polyev lost? And not only did he lose the Prime minister, but he lost his seat that he's held since two thousand and four. That is embarrassing. Each time you say that, you sound like the fifty first state of the United States of America. You validate Trump's points why you need him, You validated why you see him as your head of state. So you're blaming the president for your governor losing in Canada. It is embarrassing because if you did not even view it that way, you would never even bring up the point. You would never say it's Trump's fault.

30:52 All right, who's top? I think that's a big comedic. I don't agree with what he's saying. I mean, he's throwing jab here right, the fifty first state, your governor, et cetera. I am going to come out and say I don't agree that should ever happen. Canada needs to remain Canada. But I get where Patrick's going with this. He's saying, well, if it's Trump's fault, then how did you allow this to happen? And how is the president of the United States? How is everything that happens in Canada the fault of the president of the United States. Do you not have your own prime minister, your own government? Do you not make your own decisions, do your own voting? You're completely different sovereign nation. All right, let me continue this.

31:37 You wouldn't because you're your own country. Who the hell that loses an election in a country were you opposing political parties policies were so exposed the last four years during COVID that every country around the world knew how shitty things were in Canada, and you still didn't. Know how to make it win. Preferring to Trod, you still don't know how to win, and. You lose your parliament, and you guys don't act like he was gonna win and it was gonna be a landslide victory. But no, it's Trump's fault. Of course, it's Trump's fault. No, no, no, it's Trump's faults because we view ourselves as the fifty first Aid. Please don't think I'm talking about every conservative in Canada. I'm specifically talking to the fanboy of.

32:24 Pure Pollieff Conservatives that were so convinced that this whole thing was going to be done and all these other critics, you guys are such terrible critics and unfair. He's such a great man. I don't care how great of a man and a husband he is. The market doesn't give handouts a prime minister to great men and women. They give it to winners. You either win or you don't. They don't give it to victims, cry babies. It's not fair. It's Trump's fault that is so unattractive. But you lost in a big way and you handed it over to the guy that came up with the economic policies of Justin Trudeau. I don't know, again, I keep saying this if I've seen anything more embarrassing than this, But stop blaming Trump for your loss.

33:16 I mean again, I think some of this is comedic, but he does make some good points. How are you blaming Trump for your votes? For your votes within your own sovereign nation, your own country, the country of Canada. How do you blame votes that didn't go towards making the change in your country? How do you blame that on the president of another country. You got to take responsibility here, you really do. And look, I personally wish the best for Canada. I do. But again, Patrick Patt David makes a good point. You voted a guy in that was responsible for the economic policies under Trudeau's leadership.

34:02 You literally just extended the reign of the Trudeau like leadership. That's all you did. Instead of Trudeau. It's Carneie, that's the only difference. But it's the same policies. It's the same thing. It's the same thing that you all complained about, and you got it back. You got it back, you voted it back, you voted it back. Look, this whole, this whole thing of blaming Trump for the world's problems has got to end. Let America hold Trump accountable and let other sovereign nations take responsibility for their own decisions by all means, step up, make the change, and when it doesn't go your way, stop blaming America for it.

34:53 You had the opportunity, you had the chance, and you ended up back where you didn't want to be, under the extended reign of the policies under the Trudeau administration that you opposed. And here you are, right back where you started. Well again, I wish the best for Canada. But let's move on to another part of the world's Let's move on over to the Indian Pakistani border, and let's focus on what's going on there. The two countries Pakistan India two cars have a long history of literally not liking each other, but if somehow not gone to all out war in recent times, and they've even had border disputes where they've laid their weapons down and just beat each other with sticks and then turned around and went their separate ways. But that's not the case right now. See, in light of the terrorist attack that was carried out by militant Islamist in Kashmir that seemed to be targeting tourists and resulted in the deaths of at least twenty six people, India suspended all visas for Pakistani nationals and in response, Pakistan closed itself off to all Indian nationals. Now, this triggered a very old dispute and hatred between the

36:26 two nations, Pakistan and India, and it's been escalating now. Shortly after that, the Pakistani troops killed fifty four Afghan militants that were trying to enter Pakistan by crossing their Pakistani borders. And as we keep going on in this conflict. As this conflict develops, Indian Prime Minister Modi less than a day ago or roughly about a day ago, announced that he's going to give the Indian army free them to act, freedom to respond to any Pakistani response, aggression movement whatever as they see fit. So if the Indian military feels that Pakistan is acting aggressively, then on their own, the Indian military may react in a military fashion, an aggressive military fashion towards Pakistan, and a response Pakistan is saying that they are going to be doing the same thing. Now, why is this scary Because both countries are nuclear countries and Pakistan has also recently announced that they're willing to do anything it takes to protect themselves by all means necessary, any means, which is alluding to nuclear weapons. The reason this stands out to me is because this literally may

37:59 may lead to a nuclear war. And this reminds me. See when I was a kid, I watched this documentary. I never forgot this. It was about Nostrodamus and his predictions and they were talking about the various quadtrains and whatnot. And I have no idea why this one prediction, this one prediction that was interpreted as Nostra Damas making the prediction that in twenty twenty five we would be entering World War three, and it was further broken down and interpreted to mean that it would start in the Middle East, and specifically, I believe from what I remember, specifically in Pakistan, that they would be the ones to launch the first nuclear missile that would trigger World War three. Now, listen, you can chalk this up to conspiracy, obviously, you can even chalked us up to being mystic bullshit if you want.

38:55 But I remember that prediction, always sticking with me, always stuck with me. And I wake up when and I see this report of this conflict, and with everything going on in the world, with what's going on with Russia Ukraine. Look, we still have a major issue going on between Israel and Hamas, and we got the Palestinian people stuck in the middle. We have multiple things going on. We have China just antagonizing the Philippines as well as Taiwan, that whole Into Pacific region. China is just being a giant bully as of late. And now we got official reports that North Korea has actually been in Ukraine, just as I have said and reported on episodes ago. I don't even remember which episode is, but go back to the catalog you'll find it. So we have actual confirmed reports that North Korea is involved in the Ukraine war. China is just going around antagonizing the Into Pacific region. And China is also also admitted to helping out with technologies in the Russia Ukraine war, and now we have this Pakistan India conflict. So the only positive that came from today, you know, as of this recording, is that we do have that Ukraine US deal that was signed. And again that can be very positive if Putin backs down and realizes it's not worth pursuing that this is not going

40:26 to go well for you, because now with the US stepping into that situation, the rest of the world is much more apt to step in and also back this play. But what's going on between India and Pakistan, Look, I don't know how that's going to get cooled down. In fact, Pakistan has reached out, has reached out publicly. These reports have come out that Pakistan themselves are asking the US to calm India down, to talk to Mody and be like, hey, you need a chill for zek, let us play out. Pakistan wasn't the one responsible for this terrorist attack, although India does blame Pakistan because they have had a history of harboring terrorists, but Pakistan, Pakistan reaching out the US for help, singles that Pakistan does not want to get into a war because Pakistan realizes that this would not be good for anybody. So let's hope that cooler heads prevail. Look, let's take the wins that we got today as of April thirtieth, as of this recording, and hopefully by the time you listen to this, things are still going well, things are still positive. Let's hope that Putin's response is positive, that he does enter into a peace steal. And Hey Trump, if you're listening, step in and try to cool down India, will you. We don't need another war that we need to be dragged into because India is our ally And

41:57 if Pakistan is reaching out to the United States for help because they're in fear of a major conflict, which again will be a disaster, America does need to step in and make sure that we both support India and convince India or convince Mody that cooler heads must prevail.
