Welcome everybody, Chris Lkeyele and friends.

Today we're talking to a good friend of the show, Ben Norton.

Ben Norton is a brilliant guy.

He runs geopolitical economy report, and he talks a lot about the U.S. and China, and our

declining role as a superpower, and their ascendant role as a superpower.

And he's going to get into the tariffs, the trade war, basically everything around the economic decisions that Trump has been making and the impact he'll have.

And I'm sure he has some spicy things to say about that.

There is no one better on this particular topic than Benhorn.

That's right.

So we've been trying again for a few weeks.

It can be difficult because it's oftentimes in China or other places.

And so super excited to talk to him.

You guys should be watching all of his videos because we have been and they have been very instructive.

Yeah, they have been.

So got a lot of stuff to get to before we do that, though.

So this one just came across my radar. Senator Lisa Murkowski, the Republican of Alaska,

she's one of these Republicans who's viewed as like one of the most moderate.

She's often very concerned. Yeah. She is the very concerned one. Yeah. And she was at some event.

And this is raising eyebrows because of her reaction,

but she basically talks about, like, she's asked about, like, hey, what do you say to people

who are afraid? And here's her reaction. What are you have to say to people who are afraid?

Or who represent people who are afraid. We are all afraid.
