We are live with Alexander Mercuris, and we are very honored to have a man that probably doesn't need any introductions, but I will introduce Mr. David Sacks with Craft Ventures and, at least for this show, one of the best political and geopolitical analysts out there.

If you are not following David on Twitter, Twitter X, definitely follow David on Twitter X because he puts out some of the best commentary on politics,

on geopolitics. And David, thank you very, very much for joining us on the Duran today.

Well, thanks for having me. That's high praise from you guys. I think I learn a lot from watching your

pod. So, you know, you guys are kind of the top of the influencer food chain,

and then I'm kind of lower down and just try to help get the message out.

You're as top as a guess. I was going to say, I was going to say the same. And can I just say

also that I strongly urge anybody who doesn't follow David on X to just do so because not only will you learn an awful lot from going there, but I mean the way that David puts things very clearly and very powerfully, it's incredibly impressive.

I mean, speaking as somebody who's married to an academic, an English literature academic,

who's always a critic for how things are expressed, she is a great admirer of the sort of

forcefulness and clarity with which these things are said.

And I learned huge amounts from them.

Well, thank you.

That's very kind.

Fantastic.

So let's get started.

Let me just say a quick hello to everyone that is watching us on Rockfin,

on Odyssey, on Rumble, on YouTube, and on the durand.com.

And a big shout out to our great, amazing moderators. And I have David's information

in the description box down below and I will add it as a pinned comment as well when the show is

over. Alexander, David, let's talk politics. Let's talk geopolitics. Maybe we start things off

with Biden, maybe Bidenomics. I don't know. What do you think, Alexander, David?
