0:00.0	Spain did something that's pretty comparable to what we're doing, where Spain had all this silver from Mexico and South America.
0:06.0	The Spanish hyperinflated their currency, and this killed the economy of Mediterranean Europe.
0:11.0	It's why Italy stopped being the richest place in the world.
0:14.0	Most people won't want a war. Most people just want to continue with their lives.
0:17.0	And then small groups of radicals will seize power. The thing that really
0:22.0	shocked me there is that within a day, 25 states that they supported Texas over the federal
0:27.4	government, 10 states that they had used their militaries to fight the U.S. government.
0:31.7	You now have Texas state militia or National Guard facing off against the U.S. military.
0:37.7	Yes, exactly. That's perfect. And I can give three historic examples to show exactly how
0:42.3	this kind of thing would happen. The big prediction I'm known for is I think we're going

1:26.4	There are small groups of radicals that
1:28.0	hijacked the process. So for the French Revolution, the Jacobins were 3%, sorry, all leftists
1:34.5	were something like 3% of France's population and the Jacobins, the faction that won, were so
1:41.2	small that you could pick out factions in the French Revolution based off what
1:44.5	cafes they hung out in. It was the unit of French politics at that time was cafe based.
1:50.9	So very small groups of people. Russian civil war, the Bolshev communists were like, again,
