the level of, you know, damage, brand damage and economic damage that will be done over the long term.

What do you make of these comments and potentially a reassessment that is being done here by the Saudis as they see that the U.S.

's number one priority is ourselves and the Israelis?

Professor Sachs, thank you as always for your insights.

We're really grateful for your time this morning.

All right, guys, we've got yet another heavy-hitter guest and first-time guest on the show, Professor Zhang.

He is the star of the popular YouTube channel Predictive History.

He uses game theory to analyze past, current, and to predict future geopolitical events.

And he joins us now.

Professor, great to have you.

Yeah, of course.

So, you know, for people who aren't familiar with your work, I wanted to show folks that back in 2024, you made three big predictions.

One, that Trump would win.

Two, that he would start a war with Iran.

And three, that the U.S.

would lose that war.

Let's take a listen to that.

So obviously that last one is the only one that has not yet come to fruition is quite a stunning prediction.

Do you stand by it?

And what have you seen so far that leads you to sort of stand firm in that conclusion?
