| 0:00.0 | So there are five scenarios in which the war could end because Trump is stupid enough to take on what Israel wanted to do, which was destroy Iran, but they've bitten off far more than they can chew. |
| 0:10.2 | So scenario one is Iran destroys the Gulf power infrastructure. I think that's highly likely. And if that happens, then Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, they all become uninhabitable. |
| 0:19.8 | And then scenario two, Iran disables Israel's nukes. I hope that happens, but there's this one. And it scares the shit out of me. Professor Steve, I have so many questions. What is going on? So this war is threatening everybody on the planet. And what Trump is doing at the moment is a pump and dump scheme. He's trying to drive up the oil price and exploiting it for his friends and for his own wealth in the process. |
| 0:40.1 | So people are focusing upon the price of this. But the really important point is this, the Strait of Humols, so oil, fertiliser, helium, all have to pass through the Strait of Hummus. And Iran have blocked that gap. So they can say, you do or do not pass, depending on your country's attitude towards our country. |
| 0:56.5 | And it's quite terrifying because 20 to 30% of our fertilizer comes through this point. |
| 1:00.8 | But if this is not available, the globe has a famine. |
| 1:03.2 | Do you think he will send ground troops in? |
| 1:04.7 | Yes, I do. |
| 1:05.6 | But I'd hate to be one of those troops because it's a suicide mission. |
| 1:08.5 | They've got underground military units of weapons and troops, but we have no idea of the scale. Trump keeps saying that the war has been won. Yeah. What's going on there in your view? I think he's been fed propaganda to tell him that he's winning the war by his immediate advisors because you cannot tell the person like that that they've made a mistake. We'll talk about that as well, but you've developed a bit of a reputation because you're very |
| 1:28.3 | good at predicting things. So which of these five outcomes do you think is most probable to happen? |
| 1:34.3 | Oh, God. |
| 1:37.0 | Guys, I've got a favour to ask before this episode begins. The algorithm, if you follow a show, |
| 1:41.8 | will deliver you the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. So when we have our best episodes on this show, the most shared episodes, the most rated episodes, I would love you to know. And the simple way for you to know that is to hit that follow button. But also, it's the simple, easy, free thing that you can do to help us make the show better. And I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute on the app you're listening to this on right now and hit that follow |
| 2:03.9 | button. Thank you so, so, so much. Professor Stephen, who are you? |
| 2:17.7 | If you had to sort of distill it down to three areas of specialism, what would those be? |
| 2:22.3 | History of economic thought, financial instability, so what causes volatility in the economy, |
| 2:29.3 | and the dynamics of money. |
| 2:32.3 | And ironically, that makes me a minority in economics because most economists |
| 2:37.0 | ignore money completely. It's a strange thing to you. It's ridiculous, but it's true. |
| 2:41.6 | We'll talk about that as well today. I really want to focus on what's going on in the world right now |
| 2:45.4 | because I have so many questions. It's all quite confusing. Extremely. And understanding the layers of |
