We have calculated the prices of ski resorts. Buy now the price list for the winter. For example, Helsinki-Tampere starting at 4.90 euros and Oulu-Helsinki starting at 14.90 euros. The campaign is in force until the 18th of January.
VR on the road. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another rousing edition of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live. Thank you guys so much for joining us. This is such a pivotal moment in human history. It is wild to live in such transitional times, and we are honored that you guys are joining us as we try to make sense of everything that is happening. And speaking of everything that is happening, Trump says that a red line is being crossed as we speak in Iran as over 500 have been reported dead and an additional 10,000 detained as massive protests continue to rock the country. Shout out to everybody in Iran that is standing up, man, right now. I can't fathom it. As people are getting snatched off the streets, I've seen footage of people roaming with guns, just firing at people.
It's wild. May we never live through anything like that, Drew.
Yeah, and as he reported, more than 538 people have been confirmed dead. Another 10,600 have been detained. There have been some fringe reports and tweets that the death toll is actually closer to the thousands. They just haven't been verified yet. But it seems like in their third week, Iran is speeding up and not slowing down. The internet is still cut off and phone lines are still down. But there are even reports from Khamenei's leadership that, yeah, we have it all under control, nothing to worry about here. But it seems like they're just trying to avoid the world stage and becoming the focus of Trump.
You don't shut the internet down. You don't turn off international calls. If you're like, no, we have nothing to hide. It's like they literally have everything to hide. This is crazy. So here's the the uncomfortable truth. So Stephen Miller had said something directly. I forget who he was talking to, but he said, listen, we live in a world that is governed by power. And that is the reality. And governments start as governments. basically weak men getting together and saying, we need a way to come together to fight off invading hordes, roving bands. I mean, if you go back far enough in history, this isn't organized armies and things like that. It's just, there's a guy with more weapons than you, stronger than you, better fighter than you, whatever.
And they will just come in, kill you, take your stuff. And governments begin to form as a way to give people credibility to a certain use of violence, to make sure that violence is only used by certain people, to defend your group. And over time, they tend towards tyranny. And it is that human proclivity. This is not something that's being forced upon us from the outside.
What are the latest developments and casualty figures from the Iran protests?
This is just wired into the human psyche. The proclivity to tend towards tyranny is absolute and history is just a never ending spiral of people getting crushed down by tyranny only to finally overcome it, only to find that it comes back around. And so we're living through one of these moments where the sort of subtle tyranny of globalism that led us to the position that we're in now where you're being molested by bankers is probably the right way to think about it. uh is now falling apart and we're realizing once again that there are nation states that are fighting for power and in the midst of all of this is just this incredible moment of destabilization uh which is wild and so if any of you guys are having trouble sleeping uh unsure of what the future brings boy do i have some empathy for you it is a truly wild time and i think the goal here is to be completely clear-eyed about the nature of man
To understand how I cover this stuff, you really have to understand I'm trying to present what it is with a gallows humor twist. It's just how my mind works. So I try to find some humor in all of the insanity. But ultimately, I think that looking at humans the way that they really are is necessary, not sugarcoating understanding humanity.
