You got a lowest common denominator.

You know what I'm talking about?

So maybe if you say something a little bit too highbrow, you're not effectively going to reach the masses.

That is when politicians are running for office, they have to choose between the red or the blue tie.

And they say, well, the red tie is going to bump you up, you know, 0.3 points.

And you'd be thinking like, is that really going to convince a guy?

Am I going to go to a guy and say, vote for me?

He's like, you got a red tie on.

Well, the issue is macro level.

Indeed, it will.

Because if a tiny fraction of people still are moved by this, you need those votes.

And that matters at the higher scale.

So the truth is.

Telling the truth is not going to be as effective in rallying for war.

But here's the reason for all of it.

The Strait of Hormuz allows, it's about 20 miles across, and 20% of global oil and natural gas flows from this region.

The reason why Donald Trump took Maduro out, it's because he wanted to make sure that they had a steady flow of oil

should they start this war with Iran.

Because if Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz, locking in these Gulf states so they can't sell their oil, then you're going to have record high gas prices.

And the only reason that gas, it's gone up, hasn't gone up even more, is because we took control of the oil in Venezuela.
