but I’m not. And it’s frankly it’s annoying, but I just I’m busy and it’s hard. It’s hard. It’s
so hard. I have very little free time and um so I apologize for not doing more. There’s so many projects I want to
work on, but uh we’ll see. I I’ll do as much as I can. And I do post to Patreon.
I do. I wish it was more, but um thank you everybody at Patreon. I appreciate that. Uh been posting different things
to YouTube as well. The got these live streams going now. And in fact, let me see if I can pull up. Let me see. I
should be able to see the chat if I keep Well, I might not notice the chat. Uh that’s okay though. Well, actually, I
will when I pull up uh my other thing here, which we’ll get in a minute. But before all of that, I will say that when
it comes to the YouTube, I have a video that is going to be going on the YouTube. I have it already loaded up and it’s scheduled to actually be live on
the channel. Not live, but you’ll be able to watch it tomorrow morning, Saturday morning. I’m going to have a video on there that’s a UAP video that I shot out in Landers.
Uh regular listeners will know that I have a place out in the small desert town of Landers, California. It’s in the
Mojave Desert, not far from Joshua Tree National Park. It’s out there. And uh
yeah, I went out there last week and my wife and I were out there and we saw
UAP. We see UAP all the time here at my regular place in Riverside, California.
We see them almost nightly out our window, but uh these ones we saw out in Landers were different. We we’ve seen different
they look different different times, but this was quite uh visually it was really interesting. The ones we saw out in
Landers, so I was able to get a timelapse video and it turned out really good. It’s crazy. So, if you want to see
that video, it will be on my YouTube, uh, the Aaron Fron’s YouTube tomorrow. So, check that out. I’m not going to sit here and spend a bunch of
time talking about it. I just want to mention that it’s there. Check it out.
It’s And I’m sure it’s going to be one of these videos that either gets like 14 views and nobody cares or somehow it’ll get a lot of views because it’s a really
good UAP video in my opinion. I think it’s good. And I have other stuff. I have a second video that I shot that haven’t loaded up yet. I have, you know,
the whole backstory of of, you know, our sighting or whatever that it’s it’s just the raw time-lapse video that’s going on there. It’s like a 20 second long video.
That’s all I’m loading for now. If there’s any interest, I’ll post follow-ups. And in fact, I was talking about all these videos I’d like to make
earlier. One of them I want to put like a mini documentary, really short uh piece about landers because I have some interesting ideas about George Vanassel.
uh his buddy Frank Kitser, Giant Rock, Spy Mountain.
Um and sort of like UFO, paranormal, conspiracy, culture stuff
and uh and and other things. I I have an interesting idea that I’d like to put together. People have done little docs
and YouTube videos about, but I have like a specific take that I’d like to make that video. So
maybe I might actually go to the um Morango Basin Historical Society which is out on Landers 2 and ask them a few
questions uh to help with my research in that project. So we’ll see that and the entire uh series of videos that I want
to make and post to the YouTube and to Patreon about um the looking for truth in all the wrong places series. I want
to continue that series. I will on Patreon and I would really like to make a series of videos on the YouTube channel. These are the projects I want
to do. I want to do them. Believe me when I tell you this. Um, so
just stay tuned, okay? We’re we’re not done yet. I’m still here. I’m still going. May as well keep making media.
It’s what I know. It’s what I have the compulsion to do and I can’t seem to stop. So why stop? Why not? Why not keep going?
But uh with all of that aside, the age of transitions.com, the YouTube channel is the Aaron Fron’s YouTube channel.
Check those out if you’re not already on them.
Uh you may be tonight’s show, the age of transitions podcast. I’m going to be talking about
uh the recent big news story of the week, which was our president’s visit,
the presidential United States presidential visit over to China went over to Beijing. So, Donald Trump went
over to have a meeting with Xihinping, leader of the Chinese state. We all know
him. We know him. We love him. Xiinping, Donald Trump. We love both these guys, right? They’re both just great guys. Um,
big news, very important news. Uh, it should not be downplayed how big of an event this really was.
And so I’m going to do my best to cover this and talk about some of the things that I have not seen in the mainstream
media. I I’m going to cite a few articles here and read, but also give some commentary that I hope will be a bit different from what you see
elsewhere. So here’s a nice little picture I have of um Mr. Strongman himself, our leader, walking alongside
Jinping. Uh he was greeted by a group of Chinese children that were jumping up and down and waving United States and
Chinese flags and everybody so happy and it was quite the quite the show. He loves the show. So they put on one for him and oh boy it was so happy he’s
giving him the thumbs up there. Thumbs up. Great kids. You’re doing a great job. I love it.
So there’s that silliness. You knew something crazy was gonna something dumb was going to be going on with this. So there it is.
Um but let’s see here. Let me see some articles. I have uh I have this one
article which is from Yahoo which was I believe an article from the day before he actually went out here out there. So
yahoo.com title is Trump lands in China in search of winds. How the Iran war could complicate his summit with President Xi.
Um so let’s see here. I’m I I have some notes that I pulled out of the article.
So, these are quotes from that Yahoo article that I think were relevant.
quote, “17 chief executives of major US companies, including Elon Musk of Tesla,
Tim Cook of Apple, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia, will join Trump on the trip, presumably
to discuss the creation of a board of investment and a board of trade with China, according to the New York Times.”
Okay, so there was that. I’m I have to pull up these images because uh here he is. Yeah. Yeah. And here’s here’s Trump. Here’s a a quote of him.
We have the greatest businessmen, the biggest. So, they were indeed there with him.
That that happened. More on that to come. But here, another quote from this article.
Uh Trump was originally scheduled to visit Beijing from March 31st to April 2nd, but he decid decided to hit pause shortly after the start of the Iran War.
Uh quote, “The original date had to be postponed because Trump couldn’t handle two things at the same time. So, the war
obviously has already had an impact, but now the question is, is the war going to critically affect the substance of the trip?” End quote.
The answer of to that question is of course it is.
I mean it’s they’re posing as rhetorical, but come on. We all know of course the Iran war is huge in this. And
um Iran and China are allies. Let’s remember that they have been strategic
allies. Uh Trump is was going in there hoping to get agreement on the Iran war that
China could like at least agree with the position like hey look we got to end this thing we got to open up the straight of Hormuz
and apparently that much uh Xi did agree to like yeah we need to open up the straight of Hormuz but beyond that there I haven’t read anything where he said
anything other than that which is another obvious thing of course everybody wants a straighter hormuz open but how does that happen. China’s not
just going to give us what we want. And and clearly they they’re not offering any military help with the Iran war.
That ain’t ever happening. Okay? I don’t know if anybody has the idea like that was, but you better believe it won’t.
Okay? There there might be plenty of wars going on between our two countries, but it’s not uh
that’s not how things are going to pan out. Um, but anyway, let’s see here. Uh, back to my notes from that article.
Let’s go back to that. Uh, it’s even though it is out of date by a couple days, there’s some interesting stuff. Nonetheless, the 17 CEOs very important.
By the way, we do have to get back to that because um, and we will get back to that because uh, that’s that’s
incredibly important. Um, the 17 CEOs uh, going with Trump over there. I mean, that pretty much says so much. Once
again, do we does anybody really think that Strongman himself, uh, Donald, is in charge of anything? No. He’s bought
and paid for by the the companies that these CEOs work for. And let’s not forget that the CEOs themselves are workers.
The real important people are who? the majority stockholders, the owners of things is what they’re the ones that are always really in charge.
Always. And that’s who’s running our country. You better believe for better and for worse, mostly for worse. And China knows that. Xiinping knows that.
He knows he knows our system. He knows how it works. And he knows how to exploit us. It’s not just him. It’s the
entire Chinese government. and other governments across the world which are not allied with us. Although this trip
is if we’re going on optics alone, the idea was that we can be allies. We should be allies. We should be all we
should be buddy buddy. Uh we should work together. Everything’s cool now. Don’t worry. All that stuff that we were uh
fighting about uh this past year and for the past decade, that’s just all in uh the past. And we can get along now.
Okay.
Here’s a nice image from uh the video of the trip. Get along well with each other in this new era. It’s a new era. There’s
also an interesting uh Jeeping quote from the same video. I think I’m going to pull it up right now.
What is he saying in this? Jinping was saying, I think this is from yesterday or the day before. The world has reached
a new crossroads, he says. Yes, it sure has. We are at an inflection point to say the least.
Lot going on here. A whole lot.
And once again, the things that aren’t talked about I find sometimes to be the most important ones. But more on that to come. Let’s continue.
Uh, let’s see here. Is my other note any useful? Okay, so last note from this Yahoo article. Quote, “But a massive
investment deal seems unlikely right now, experts say in part because Iran has weakened Trump’s position.
Yu Gong, a retired Chinese colonel, told the New York Times that Trump originally intended to visit China with the heir of a swift victor.
Uh but the war, he argued, has significantly diminished the US military’s ability to project its combat
power, leaving Trump unable to project the same arrogance or fa or force any major concessions in return. Yeah,
exactly. this [ __ ] the leader, the supposed leader of our country. I’m sure he he did think he was just going to
march into Iran and just win the thing right away because, you know, why wouldn’t he think that? And no, of
course, that hasn’t happened. It won’t happen. It will continue. This this war could be like all the others in the mid
east and go on for like a decade or more without ending. It could easily do that.
He’s looking for a way out of it now.
But the the there’s no way out of it with the United States winning in the way that he wants it. Him and Heg Seth
and you know all the badasses running the Pentagon.
The badasses who by the way are always talking crap about China. Heg Seth and
his new warrior mentality Pentagon. uh all the bluster that they came in with like China is this big enemy and we have
to be ready to fight them and blah blah blah. That’s part of their whole thing, right? That’s the whole part of their tough guy image, the mega tough guy.
Like we’re going to put China in its place. We’re going to we’re going to fight them if we have to. And if we do, of course, we’ll win. Uhhuh.
When it comes down to it, the reality of the situation is now setting in. Trump went over there to China
uh not just capitulating to Xiinping but not acting like a tough guy at all
because he knows he can’t he can’t he doesn’t hold the cards so to speak like he’s a who was it um Venezuela was that
who he was uh bragging like that you don’t hold the cards who was it oh it was Ukraine it was Zilinski Zilinski
came and him advanced he was growing up I’m like you’re not holding the cards.
We get to say what we want. That version of him was not the version we saw in China yesterday and the day before.
And there’s good reason for that.
Let’s see here. What other articles do we have? Um I’m trying to think. Is this one going to be any good?
Uh there’s a there’s an article I got from Alazer. I think this was Oh, this is from day one of the summit. The
article title is never mess it up. What Xi and Trump said on day one of Beijing talks. Okay, I’ll just read a couple quotes from this article.
Uh, quote, Xi has told Trump that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China US relations.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Meing posted on X on Thursday and quote,
“Okay, our war is the Iran war. Us, the United States, that’s our war of choice at the moment. Horrible choice. Not
working out the way our dear uh military genius leaders thought it would or should.
complete failure through and through and and there’s no way it it will ever be anything other than that.
China’s presumid war of choice which hasn’t happened yet.
Taiwan now it’s not a war. It may never be a war.
We all know what the reality of the situation is with China and Taiwan which is quite simple. China believes Taiwan
belongs to it. That Taiwan is not sovereign. It’s not its own sovereign nation with its own govern and
self-ruule. It should be a part of China and ruled by the Chinese government.
That’s it. It’s not at present. At present, it is independent, autonomous, sovereign. And China wants to end that
and subsume it back into China. This is what they want. And they will get that.
It’s just a matter of how they would go to war and invade the island nation of Taiwan if they had to.
I’m sure they would prefer to just have Taiwan agree to coming back to them, which might actually happen. I could see
that happening. uh you know given all sorts of circumstances one of which being that the United States is for one
unreliable as a partner for two it’s just not unreliable in in
every conceivable sense like what are they getting from the United States Taiwan from now for now they’re getting
uh military support from us they’re getting uh money and they’re getting um military equipment and things like that from us So they are getting support for
now. So they are allied with us. But if we have no support for them in
countering whatever China wants to do militarily or otherwise subsuming their nation,
then you know maybe maybe they decide to just go to China. Like what does the US even have anymore anyway? It’s less and
less by the day in case you haven’t noticed.
So that’s the basic reality of Taiwan, but there’s so much more and we will get to that in minutes.
Uh so yeah, Taiwan, Jinping mentioned made a point like right away. He’s like, “Hey, look,
Taiwan, ours, don’t mess with it.” That was like the first thing he said at this thing. And the whole time throughout the
whole two-day session, Trump never once he was questioned, never once gave a an answer as to what the US would do in the situation. Like, are you going to
support Taiwan? What are you going to do? And he just completely avoided the question altogether because he knows he’s stuck. He knows that he has to give
China what they want. But he also knows that our official position is we need to defend Taiwan and we need to provide
continue providing the assistance to them and what they want as an independent nation. But you know how are we going to be able to do that uh given the circumstances?
I don’t know. Uh we may not be able to uh continue doing that. Right? That’s the idea. But uh
anyway um let’s go back to this beautiful image of the children. Okay, so more quotes from this article. Alazer
um Taiwan in their joint statement. Trump and Xi agreed that the straight of Hormuz must remain open and Iran should
never have nuclear weapons. Okay, there’s that whole lot of nothing like yeah everybody wants the straight of Hormuz open. Okay, that doesn’t mean anything. Um,
US officials have previously said that they might need China’s help in convincing Iran to open the Strait of Hermuz, but analysts say Beijing will
want concessions from the US, likely regarding Taiwan in exchange for any aid in resolving the crisis.
Remains to be seen what happens there, right? Um, okay. Now, now we’re starting to get
toward some more interesting stuff that I really want to cover. I’m gonna I’m go I’m going to
Let’s see here. This next article is from today. So, see, let’s let’s hit this. This is from Oh, where was it?
This is from time. Oh, wait. Let me pull up because I have the time cover image. I gota pull
I’ve had it up. There it is. I got to bring that back because we’re going to read from this article now the cover of time that says the reunion and it has Trump and G shaking hands.
They’re they’re good buddies and Trump has said as much. He’s he’s a great friend. Great friend. And of course the all the quotes of Trump in the past saying that Xiinping is a great leader.
Why? Because he rules with an iron fist over his people who know better than to cross him. That’s a paraphrase, but
that’s what he’s saying. He’s like, “Oh, he’s so great. He just rules over and lords over his people and they don’t they can’t do anything about it. I I wish I was more like him and he’s
telling the truth when he says that. Of course, he does look up to him because of that because he is a strong man which he uh you know strong man wants to be.
Anyway, this time article here’s quotes from it. quote, “He may have descended Air Force One late Wednesday to the
cheers of school children, brandishing the stars and stripes and flanked by tech’s most influential tycoons.
But it didn’t take long for US President Donald Trump to be put in his place in Beijing.” Uh, okay. So the Iran war. Okay. So on
the Iran war, quote, “China’s contention has always been that America behaves as a thuggish, self-interested
wararmonger,” says Nick Bisley, a professor of international relations at Australia’s Latroe University. And it’s
like, yep, this ticks the box. Okay, so this is from the Time article. This is in the context of Iran which is another
what example that uh the Chinese propaganda line which it
is what it is. China absolutely uses this as a propaganda line the world over
the one that America does behave as a thuggish self-interested wararmonger and they’re using the Iran war like look we’re right again. Now, China uses that
in its propaganda. Russia uses that in its propaganda.
And many others use that same general concept of America as this war
um this imperial power waging war for no good reason other than its own self-interest across the world.
That concept, I’m not saying it’s wrong, but that concept is used in propaganda of foreign nations that are not exactly
allied with America. But it’s also used in propaganda narratives within what?
Alternative sort of media, alternative spheres, conspiracy culture to be sure. It’s like
a huge jumping off point for so much alternative media activity within the
United States. In fact, I argue that MAGA itself as a political force rose up
off of that talking point and more. But they used that to um
the idea that the concept of American empire generally exploiting that concept and and saying like look we need to make
a change. And then the idea of Donald Trump as this anti-war candidate. He was sold that way. He’s not going to get any more of these foreign wars. That’s over.
The neocon stuff. This isn’t a neocon.
This is maggots. A whole new thing. Uh we’re going to just stay at home. We’re going to make America great again. We’re not going to get involved in these
foreign entanglements. We’re going to, you know, withdraw from everywhere. The military budget’s going to shrink. We’re going to spend all our money at home and we’re going to revitalize the nation.
Everybody’s going to love us again.
These were so many of the ideas in conspiracy culture and alternative media over the years that were subsumed by the
MAGA movement under the promise that this idiot who’s in charge now is going to do these things. He hasn’t. He’s back in the Middle East. And Iran, the thing
that was always for decades now the logical um next step after Iraq and
Afghanistan, it’s like, “Oh yeah, we’re going to go to Iran.” They’ve been saying that for decades and now it’s actually happened under this president that came up under the guise of the
propaganda lines of we’re going to the old um American empire system and the uh
you know the new world order, the uh deep state, you know, call it what you will or even the neoliberal
uh order post-war era uh order that has to be put away with. We got to get back to conservative values. We got
conservative principles. Uh the government spending’s got to be cut, military budget cut, and all a bunch of nonsense. Always was.
It was used. It was exploited to put this guy in.
And there are, we have to recognize this.
There are lots of people exploiting and they have been the whole time MAGA to their benefit.
One of those people is Xihinping. One of those nations is China. You think that China doesn’t like MAGA?
I would argue against that strongly because they’re doing what they need
them to do. MAGA is doing what China needs uh needs it to do which is make the American economy weaker from in
within. Destabilize things uh cause all sorts of chaos amongst the populace.
Culture war BS all that. We’re all fighting a civil war, a digital civil war. I mean, thank God
it’s only that. So many people online act like they want a real armed conflict civil war.
Thank God it hasn’t gone that far. And it better not. But once again, if it did, who would it benefit?
Not us. It would benefit China. It would benefit Russia. It would benefit anybody
who wants to see the United States, at least as it stands, uh, the old United States go down. And my argument, too, is
that the new rulers of our country want the old American system to be destroyed.
That’s why they’re actively destroying it via MEGA.
That’s what domestically is happening now is the destruction of our company for the
benefit the economic and otherwise benefit of the technocracy
which is in control. 17 CEOs that joined uh our dear leader over there in China.
Again, that’s showing you who’s in power here. But the whole propaganda information war, the the global
propaganda matrix that we’re on all the time online, that deserves to be mentioned. And
nobody hardly anybody is talking about it. I don’t know who’s talking about this in any meaningful way, but here I am attempting to. I don’t know if
anybody’s going to hear this. I don’t know if anybody cares. I’m doing I’m I’m doing this anyway. Uh, okay.
Where was I on this article? Um, okay. Yeah. So, the the propaganda the
propaganda war which we are deep within and it’s not one enemy. If you’re if you think of propaganda and you you’re only
thinking in one direction, you got it completely wrong. If you if you think that the only propaganda you have to look out for is the propaganda of the
mainstream media here at home, think again. Because there’s you can’t even count the number of
actors that now have access to your mind online and are exploiting that and are
waging information operations against you.
And you need to realize that now because it’s happening. That’s what the global propaganda matrix is all about.
But I digress on that point. Um let’s see here. Another quote from the Times
story. The Time, not Times, Time. The Time article. Look, here’s the cover.
Uh, quote, “Even before his arrival, Trump had made significant concessions to China, agreeing to sell Nvidia’s
advanced AI powered semiconductor chips while suspending a$1 13 billion arms
sale to self-ruling Taiwan.” Uh there you go. It’s a far cry from the
braggadocia of his arrival back into the White House last year to unleash liberation day tariffs at nearly every
country on earth. But as Sino US relations reached a nadier in earlier early 2025 with tariffs on China getting
even higher, Beijing blocked exports of key rare earth elements and critical minerals imperiling American manufacturing. End quote.
Uh and this is last quote of the article.
More than anything, Trump looked strangely alone despite the failen of top executives traveling with him.
Okay, so now we’re getting into some interesting points. Uh let’s see here.
Yeah, so this whole trip, Trump was not the tough guy that he always seeks to be. He was capitulating
to China on so many different issues because he has to. And the whole idea was he was going over there with the 17
CEOs so that trade relations between the US
and China can be repaired to one degree but extended possibly and all of the
intertwined business uh relations that have been there for so long now can continue and you know grow for those
that were with them. Now, it should be mentioned out of these 17 CEOs, there were two of them who got to ride on Air
Force One alongside the president to this uh summit. Those two were Elon Musk and
Jensen Hang, CEO of Nvidia to they got the VIP status. The VIP trip
was those guys. Tim Cook and the rest of them, they had to figure out their own travel arrangements, but Wang and uh
Musk, they got to ride on Air Force One because they’re so important.
Now, for Musk, I don’t want to spend a lot of time on that idiot today, but we’ll talk about them real quick here. I mean Tesla, they’ve always their
business has been super uh dependent on China for the materials and the things going
on with the factories and so much like uh Musk went over there to keep things going to keep Tesla alive.
And there’s a lot going on with Tesla.
uh the BDM uh company, the auto manufacturer of China that’s making the EVs, they’re going all throughout the
world. That Tesla is going to not even be a thing in China. I don’t think it is anymore, but not just China, Australia,
and Europe, and pretty much anywhere else. They’re getting the BDM cars now.
And Tesla is basically what it looks like it’s going to be the American EV if that. So good luck Mr. Musk. I mean
he’s well placed so he’ll figure something out. I’m not worried about that guy at all. Um but that’s you know that’s his interest there.
But the real interesting person and the real interesting angle to this story
lies in the character of Jensen Huang and his corporation Nvidia. This to me is what ties the entire thing together.
Ties the war aspect together. It ties uh the cold war
industrial this new industrial war that’s happening between the United States and China are the two main actors
in what the AI arms race that we’ve been hearing about for a couple years now.
That’s the new cold wars. Who as a nation is going to develop artificial intelligence in its really
most useful dominant form because it’s it’s developing quickly now. We get that
and and we’re scrambling to push it even further and we’re destroying everything in the way. We’re destroying the entire planet uh seeking to develop AI.
We’re destroying America. The Beautiful is going to be history because we got to put data centers all over it. It’s going to just
heat the entire country up to such a degree everything’s going to melt um from sea to shining sea. But who cares
because we will have made AI first. So, you know, who cares about the any nature that was getting in the way of
artificial things? Nature and artifice, right? that old battle again.
So, the artificial intelligence war that’s going on between the two major
powers, China, the US, it’s always been the big question. Who is going to get there first? Who will reign supreme?
uh and what’s going on with the summit that that was really uh that’s behind so
much is like this future world we’re going into is a new world. It’s a new technologically empowered world.
Um and artificial intelligence does lie at the center of it sadly. Um, I don’t like to admit that, but it’s the truth.
So, the development of it is very important.
Now, what does that have to do with Nvidia Wang? Well, as we know, the best
AI systems are run off of uh Nvidia’s chips, which were the GPUs,
but uh Wang has been bragging himself about they have all these new different kinds of chips. They
just recently moved from GPUs. They still make the GPUs, but they have like all these other kinds of chips, and they’re so great. And um everybody’s
still using Nvidia to make the best systems. And the story up to this point with China and uh Nvidia and the and the
way that it’s still being framed in this summit is that uh the whole thing that
you have to look at is whether or not
um China will be allowed to buy Nvidia’s chips again. That’s the story that they
want you to think is the important story is like oh are we going to sell China the Nvidia chips and are we going to and
that that’s a big thing that came up in the summit is like are we going to relax the all the sanctions and the tariffs
and the trade war nonsense so that China can once again buy the chips and then they’ll be able to develop their artificial intelligence and you know the
race will be on again. So that’s a big concession from us. were letting Nvidia sell the chips. But of course with Wang and Nvidia,
he wants to sell to China because it’s a huge customer. It’s tons. It’s like billions of dollars that they’re losing in this trade war, this mega showoff
thing. So, um it’s that weird sort of like uh all the tech guys in are are in
favor of Trump for so many reasons, but then he’s also holding them back. He’s holding him back from sales to China.
But that’s not even the real story.
The real story is well what it how are Nvidia’s chips made?
They’re made they are made in Taiwan by TSMC, the world’s premier chip fabricator.
It’s like the number one. And it it is it will be it will continue to be. Nobody else is is going to top them.
The previous president had that uh chips act that uh was the idea behind it was
to create fabs uh in the United States. One of which was interesting enough New Albany, Ohio.
a town that was created by Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein uh suburb of Columbus, Ohio, which I used to live in. So I know about this.
I’ve been there myself corporate headquarters Abberro and Fitch was there which Epstein
or Wexner I don’t know Epstein buddy I think I presume Epstein buddy but definitely Wexner buddy um
uh Mike Jeff but that’s another story for another day. New Albany, Ohio. But hey, the old president’s an idiot. We had to undo everything he was doing. No
fabs here. And we and we couldn’t even compete with TSMC, even if we tried, which is probably true. The main point
is TSMC is the company that all of the major tech companies, they design their own microchips, but then they have to
have them produced by TSMC because they’re the only company that can do it, make the best advanced chips.
Uh here is an image that I’m showing on the the YouTube stream of Wang in uh
Taiwan speaking at an event put on at TSMC and he’s he’s very buddy buddy with the
whole company there. He’s been working with them for years. And I did what what I did was I looked around because
I looked all over and and maybe somebody’s found this and if you have, email me. I looked to see if Jensen Wang
anywhere has said anything about the relationship between Taiwan and China because that’s the issue here that
nobody talks about. I my wife I talked to my wife. I was like, you know what the real issue is, right? and she seems to think like everybody knows and like
this is like the the um it’s like the elephant in the room that nobody has to talk about because it’s just presumed. But I don’t even think
it’s that. I don’t think anybody’s even looking at the obvious fact that the Taiwan China situation
the major thing is if Tai when China goes in there and takes Taiwan as its own what does it do with TSMC?
Does it shut off access to all foreign companies? Uh, American technology companies are not allowed to have their
chips produced at TSMC anymore.
They could do that presumably. We don’t know that they would. We don’t know what would happen
in that situation. But does that not make sense? Is that not the big power grab to to make? Is that not what China
wants? is they want to take Taiwan mainly so that they can get a hold of
TSMC and then shut it off to the whole world. They make all the chips for their own companies, continue their AI
development unhindered and they make all the chips that they ever need, closing out everybody else, and they win by default because that’s how this game is played.
Because presumably there’s no other way out of this. Everybody’s saying like look there’s no other developments in tech that gets us out of using the uh
microchip the microprocessor as we know it. We need that. We are going to keep advancing and make better ones but it’s not going to fundament fundamentally
change from microprocessors. We’re not using any new form of bio computing. You know we’ve they’ve done studies and
experiments and they’ve they’re able to do that but not advanced to the level where they’re building AI systems off of those architectures.
And it’s not going to be that way uh presumably anytime anytime in the the future where
this these things will occur, will need to occur.
And so that’s the issue as far as I see it. What is China? What is their real interest in Taiwan? And what happens
when they go in there? and and this is the nature of the new cold war and that’s why it is more a cold war
than a hot war but it could erupt into a hot war and it’s not just because yeah we militarily support Taiwan and this
has been our our official unofficial uh US policy has been to uphold Taiwan’s wishes and they want to be a sovereign
nation so we need to support them in that it’s not even that it’s if Taiwan goes goes away and
becomes China, then China leaps forward in this global powers competition immediately.
So, of course, the stakes are high. Of course, it could set off World War II.
That’s why Taiwan could do it because the stakes are that high. And nobody ever mentions them this way. I I haven’t
heard anybody say this and it seems obvious but I haven’t heard any I haven’t heard Jensen Wang talk about this. Now I did find an interesting
interview with him with Lex Freriedman of all people from like a month ago or at least the clip was posted a month ago
on YouTube. I don’t know when exactly happened but that shows you uh you know the level that Freriedman’s working on.
he’s able to get Jensen Wang as a guest, right? This alternative media guy gets
that kind of a big a guest. But anyway, um on on the clip, uh
let me see where do I have that? I’m trying to find it. Uh
oh, here it is. The uh the Lex Yeah, yeah, the Lex Freedman video.
Um, okay. So, in the video, Wang goes on and
on about how such a great company TSMC is. Uh, says he’s been working with them for years. They’re the best. They always
will be the best. Mentions how they do billions of dollars in business with them, but Nvidia has never had an
official contract with TSMC. Never. He mentions that in this Lex Freeman video which is fascinating because it shows
that it’s a loose business relationship which has been working in the favor of Nvidia and I’m sure like they’ve gotten lots of benefits out of that thus far.
But also that could flip in an instant if there’s no contract there anyway. If China comes in, there’s no cont there
not even a contract holding up the business operation between TSMC and Nvidia. Like, well, what? There’s no contract. Like, you guys you guys aren’t even clients. Get out of here.
We we say that you can’t do business here and you never had a contract anyway, so who cares? Go away. Now, I
found that fascinating. Now, did Wang mention the China uh angle to the fact
that they didn’t have a contract? No. He seemed to be mentioning like, “Yeah, it’s been really great for us and they’re such a cool company and they’re
great in every single way or their customer service is amazing and their tech is second to none, blah blah blah blah blah.”
Um, so yeah, that pretty fascinating. Uh, so here’s a quote that uh this is why I’m
talking about TSMC. But one of the most consequential companies in history
is how Wang uh describes TSMC in this interview video.
And you better know that this guy knows why knows what he’s talking about. I think everything that I’m saying he
knows and he’s thinking and probably might have come up on Air Force One on the way over to China this past week.
We’re not hearing a peep about it anywhere in any media. It’s all just, you know, uh she and Trump met and
they’re good buddies and they want to work together. They don’t want to be they we don’t want our nations to be opposed to one another. That’s silly. We
should work together in this new changing world. And yes, of course, it’s a changing world, but uh that doesn’t
mean we can’t work together, right? So, we will. We will. Everybody will play real nice in this new world order.
Who’s going to be uh leading things? I mean, we that remains to be determined.
We’ll find out, right? But, uh, we’ll just see, won’t we?
So, these are my thoughts on on on the whole thing. And I I’ve mentioned these same things on past shows, but now that
this happened this week, I I mean, now’s a perfect time to reiterate these points.
The primary one does remain Taiwan. It really does. That’s that’s the that’s the lynch pin in the frankly the World
War II scenario that we’re in.
Um, and this is such a crazy moment where these two powers which are adversaries, you better believe it.
They also realize that they need to work together and they’re saying that here.
That’s it’s hard to know what the future is going forward though and how many power moves are going to be made and we
can see the power moves that China could make if it chose to do so. Right? We can see them. Can we see them now?
We should be able to.
Now, coming up to this point, it’s been American politics as usual. all the stupidity that entails,
the whole MAGA nonsense that got us here, which was the exact opposite of what happened at the summit. It was all
about capitulating China and telling them how awesome they are and how we need to do business with them. That’s the exact opposite of all the
campaigning that MAGA did to get themselves into power. Now, now that they’re in power, they’re changing their
narrative for different purposes.
One of them is that legitimately, yes, they need to be on good terms with China to do business. Um, you know, big
finance here and power player Musk needs his business interests to be fulfilled with China. He needs that.
And so, you know, he needs to get what he paid for with his contribution to the MAGA world and the mega political operation. He needs to get his cut of
the pie. and that happens to be doing business with China as is uh the interest of these other CEOs that went
they need that the military geopolitical
side of this is where things get dicey and interesting and how frankly
the rulers of our country now may be in too deep and they thought that they were going to
run away with our country and they are, but they’re not going to be able to do it with impunity.
There’s another angle of this where I might be missing the point myself where an allout war or a continued economic
technological cold war with the AI situation that continuing or even a fullon World War
III would be beneficial to them. Why?
Because they’re the new military-industrial complex. The big tech companies are that. So all the defense contracts that they’re going to
get from any war, they’re getting them from the Iran war. They’re getting them from Israel and supporting that. So they love all that because they’re getting all the military contracts from that.
And they would also love an actual World War III because they’d be getting even more money.
So perhaps the United States
ownership establishment as it exists now which is quite different than what it has been. It has undergone change and
that’s real. That’s what’s wild and we actually have to be able to come to terms with as alternative thinking people. The power structure our company
our in our it is a company our country has shifted. It has. It really has.
That’s a real thing. It’s not just the same cadre of people in there just running things as they were. So, there has been a change that has occurred.
It’s definitely not for the better. Not that what was before was great either,
but there’s there’s a lot going on. Um,
there’s legitimate tensions between nations now and there’s wars all over.
There’s the Iran war. There’s the Russia’s Vladimir Putin’s war. That is his war on Ukraine. That is his baby.
That is his child that he’s running his own country into the ground over to win.
And he is struggling to do it, which is nice to say.
I’m not gonna get get into the arguments of Ukraine is is evil. Yeah, Ukraine is innocent in in the situ in the war
situation. They got attacked by an aggressor nation, Russia. That’s the basics of that war. And that’s that.
The fact that nobody in alternative world can just state that plain fact of the matter is suspicious to me.
Very suspicious.
Um there’s a lot of suspicious stuff going on in the uh alter alternative world
which I am not a part of. I am my own thing. I’m not a part of anything. I hate everything almost. I I hate I I
despise so much. And of course, yeah, the mainstream media, whatever that even is anymore, you can’t trust it. and they’re throwing narratives at us that
are just for their own shallow self-interest as the country decays the efficacy of whatever mainstream media
that was remnants of the old order. It’s just trying to cling on and hold on to its own uh like business interests now
at this point more or less like the CNN’s and stuff. They’re just trying to stay afloat as a business at this point. They’re hardly even running propaganda.
I mean, they’re trying to, but it’s a different it’s a different game. It’s a different game and there’s a lot more effective players in the propaganda world than CNN you had ought to know.
And surprise, the alternative conspiracy ideas uh have won
won that information war battle between the old guard mainstream media and the
new media online independent whatever we think it is. It’s not independent at all. But hey, if you if you
go with as it’s sold to you, then you know, enjoy that. This is the global propaganda matrix we’re living in,
which has been bought, paid for, and exploited by the actual establishment in the US, which is again the technocracy.
How much control they have in this geopolitical situation. It’s I I’m trying to understand that.
I’d be lying if I said I did. This is just me working out ideas on this show.
It looks like perhaps they don’t even have a good idea about what they’re doing. But it could be the other reality
where look, they’re just looking to exploit any conflict that comes about just like any other government always
does. Maybe that’s all they want and any given war that pops up will be to their benefit. Maybe that’s the way they’re viewing things.
I don’t know. Go ask uh you know your favorite uh alternative media host. They they have a definite they have a more uh
hardline exact um precise so precise their answer to all these questions. They know they know all the answers. Go ask Luke. He knows.
Jason Buris. He knows. Uh the who was that idiot that interviewed Wang? That guy. The Freeriman guy. Oh, I’m sure he knows.
Tim P. Oh, he’s got all the answers.
That guy knows what’s going on at any given time. Given his connections, he ought to. The guy’s sending him money.
He ought to know a lot. All these guys, they’ll tell you what’s going on.
I don’t know. I’m trying to figure it out.
But uh the world war has been ongoing. It ha it’s it’s mainly a propaganda uh in a
war going on within the global propaganda matrix. Soft power is an aspect of it that we’re always hearing about how China is flexing that and they
are and they’re doing a good job. Kids are watching YouTube videos about how awesome China is because you know the electric bikes come from there. You know
those electric bikes your favorite YouTuber is always riding? Well, they come from China. Let’s go tour the factory now. We got an exclusive tour of the factory. Check it out, kids.
What is that? What are these videos? Is anybody talking about this? How that is a propaganda operate? We want to talk crap about China and how evil they are.
Is anybody actually doing that? Is anybody actually talking about anything of substance anywhere?
Where’s Roger Stone when we need him?
What’s what what are we supposed Where’s Lucifer’s gate? Is that still over something in DC? It’s not over the White
House anymore because that’s a holy land now. So, it must have popped up over not the Supreme Court. They’re doing a fine
job. Where where’s uh the gate to hell itself? Uh maybe it’s not even in DC anymore. Maybe it shifted to um
I don’t know. Where’s the Democratic party? the the Democratic political party’s headquarters. It’s over that.
Okay. They’re really scary and they’re they’re the source of all evil in the world. Even though they’re ineffectual
and they can’t do a damn thing uh right or, you know, tell their foot from their
butt, but they’re the epitome of all evil in the world. So, so go worry about that kind of stuff. Enjoy that. Have fun
with that. Meanwhile, I’ll be lamenting the fact that um I’ll just be lamenting just about
everything, honestly. So, thank you for being here. The age of transitions. I hope Chuck is okay. Once again, I’m going to try to get a hold of him and
find out what’s going on. If anybody can help him out in any way, please do so.
