Bill Maher represents the boomers.

They're very pro-Israel.

They're very pro-America, very pro-American hegemonic power, military industrial complex, inadvertently.

And Donald Trump is in there along with Bill.

So when you get Tucker, Candace or Fuentes or anybody else on the other side of that,

saying we can't do this.

We can't be the world police.

We have to share power.

Bill Maher is going to align with Donald Trump.

Now, what I will say is I believe, though I disagree with Tucker on many things, what he's describing, whether you want it to or not, is inevitable.

The theory is and I agree with this.

We've discussed this theory on this show years ago.

Thucydides trap.

is a reference to when a dominant power is on the decline and a rival power is ascendant, right before that switch happens, the dominant power will go to war with the weaker power as it is their last opportunity to stop their growth.

12 out of 16 historical times in the past, we have seen this trend happen.

The theory is the powers that be in the United States recognizing that Thucydides' trap is an inevitability as the United States cannot maintain itself.

After a few generations, you get merit decline.
