Okay, guys, got Ben out here in Vegas.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of AI in political leadership?
Haven't seen him since Atlantic City. How you been, man? Good to see you, man. I've been good. I've been really good. You're busy? Very, very. Doing so much stuff now, turning out so much content. Yeah. Creating a ton of new stuff right now, new podcasts, new everything. Yeah, I see you back on YouTube. Congrats. Yeah, they finally let me back on.
They didn't let me have my previous videos or my previous subscribers. Damn. Had to start from scratch. You got a big channel, right? Yeah, like 3 million people. Holy crap. That's a lot. But I've been off for five years, so... When they decided, the YouTube gods decided that it would be permissible to try again. We have to start from zero. So was that because of Trump taking over?
What do you think happened? Yeah. Were they letting people back on? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, that's good. So there was a big push, I think, within all social media for a while. It was going to be very regulated, very controlled. I think Elon blew a lot of that up when he took over X. And then once he did that and Trump started to win, listen, they're still business people at the end of the day.
They looked at it and said, this isn't working and we're going to get We're going to get on the wrong side of the administration. So then suddenly everybody became kind of libertarian-ish in their view and said, oh, we'll let people back on. Do you worry if it goes left in 28 that free speech will be under attack again? I don't think they'll do it as quickly.
I think it'll start to creep back in again. Because they weren't doing it for a while, right? And then it took time to see where it was all heading. They were hiding it at first. They were. It was like shadow banning and... So I was one of the first people who was really shadowbanned with a big account. Yeah. So think about it this way.
So when I was on 2016, right, on Facebook at that time, which was kind of the premier, besides YouTube, the premier video. Instagram didn't have video at the end. There was no TikTok, right? So Facebook video at that time, I was growing at a rate of 11,000 people a day. Dang. I had half a million followers, right? I get shadowbanned.
And then between then and this year, did not grow by one subscriber or follower. Holy crap. In that time, in 10 years. Did not grow at all. That's crazy. Content is still there. Does not grow. And you were still posting? Mm-hmm. Wow. That's actually nuts. Could not grow. Yeah. Same thing with Instagram. Like we could barely grow.
Now this year, what's finally happened is I guess some of that shadow banning stuff has been coming off. So all of a sudden now we're watching ourselves grow again. But again, it's like, it's like 10 years.
So what was frustrating for me as a guy who, again, I was so far ahead of everyone else in terms of the independent media and that the size of the audience to not be able to grow, to basically be on pause for 10 years. And then you're watching everybody else come along and they have their channels and they're all outpacing you outgrowing this. Like what the heck is this?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of America's military strategy in the Middle East?
Got it. Because you're not going to go to war with them. But what you could do is then turn around at the end of this and say, hey, you know what? All those bases that were destroyed, we can't afford to rebuild those. So we're out of the Middle East. He could potentially do that. I hope that's what he's doing. Because it would pull us out of that region.
And that's one of the things the Iranians want. They want us out of the region. And we should be out of the region. We do not need to continue to sit there and try to control every single thing that happens in the Middle East. The other thing that this war has exposed... is it has exposed how the military contractors in this country have run a sham on the American people for decades.
Think about it this way. There were seven planes that the U.S. has under these specialized radar planes, right? There are only seven of them in the world. They cost $600 million apiece to build. There are now only six of them in the world because the Iranians destroyed one of them.
Chapter 6: How has drone warfare changed the landscape of modern conflict?
Whoa. Right? It was sitting in Saudi Arabia. And they cut it in half with a $20,000 Shaheed drone. For real? Yeah. Holy crap. $20,000. So the Shahid drones are so useful because one thing the Russia-Ukraine war demonstrated is that warfare has completely changed. It's now all going to be drone warfare. Right. Because they're so cheap to make, right? So cheap.
Chapter 7: What challenges does Trump face in his political coalition?
20 grand, right, for one. And that's on the pricey side for drones. I've heard some are even cheaper to make. Oh, I'm sure. No question. You could make them cheaper than that. Here's the problem. The U.S. does not make anything cheap, right? We built a drone for $5 million, and some contractor has it, and they're like, oh, we'll give you $30. Okay, great.
Well, you're going to blow through 30 of those in an hour, right?
Chapter 8: How are recent events influencing Trump's relationship with Israel?
No offense to Iran, but Iran's just a regional power. This is not a great power that we're fighting over there. But we already have enormous problems and a ground war with them would be disastrous. So that cannot happen. We would lose. We would lose. I mean, we're losing now and we don't even have a ground war happening. Right. Because we're even for us, a stalemate is a loss. Right.
For the Iranians, a stalemate is a win because you didn't end up Iraq and you didn't end up Afghanistan. You didn't end up Libya or Syria. Here's what I think that Trump has realized. So in the last week. The administration had meetings with GM and Ford, okay, about converting some of their auto plants into designing military equipment, producing military equipment. Now that's pretty unusual.
That has not happened since World War II. Wow. US has not asked for a domestic automaker to retrofit their factories to produce munitions. You say, well, why would you do that? I mean, especially in the war that we're in. My theory is that what that's really about is about drone warfare. That what we've realized is we are unbelievably far behind.
that these Patriot missiles that we have that made us this great power since the 1990s, we have the Patriot missiles. We knock anything down. Totally obsolete. We're still buying that. Contractors are still selling us Patriot missiles. Here's the problem.
What the Iranians just proved is that you don't have enough Patriot missiles to stop us anyway, so all you need is more missiles than the Patriots. It takes... three to five Patriots to knock down one missile. Wow. So we're shooting them up at an incredible rate. I think we've burned through half of our entire Patriot supply in the first six weeks of this war. Holy crap. Right?
The THAAD missile detectors, those radar detectors, no good. Because the Iranians took those out too. I think they destroyed three of them. Jeez. Right? Those are a billion dollars apiece.
Wow.
And they destroyed all three. They destroyed three of them. It's insane. But that's not even counting hypersonic missiles. Hypersonics can't be... Patriots don't take out even one of those. They can't hit them at all. FADs can't even detect them because they come in so fast. Again, Iran is not a great power, but China is. The Russians are.
If we went to war with China, we would be obliterated because we can't stop any of their technology. They have way more hypersonics. They have way more ballistics. They have, of course, nuclear weapons. but they also have massive drone production. The Russians before the Ukraine war barely had any drones. Now they're leading the world in drone production.
