| 0:00.0 | So Western leaders look like they're panicking for whatever better word. We're seeing addresses |
| 0:04.4 | by Kirstama, by Albanese, the Australian Prime Minister. And meanwhile, Donald Trump, his |
| 0:11.2 | polling is catastrophic. What does this all mean? Is it all over for Trump? Is it all going to |
| 0:16.0 | fall down like a pack of cars? Well, people have said that about Trump before, and it hasn't actually |
| 0:21.2 | panned out. I've got no better guest to speak to than the brilliant Crystal Ball. Many of you, |
| 0:26.1 | of course, will know and follow her work, for example, breaking points and Crystal and Friends. |
| 0:31.2 | Is that sorry. Is that the podcast? Let me get that right. Crystal Kyle and Friends. |
| 0:35.8 | Crystal Call and Friends, of course, because that's the because that's the duo, the dream team. It's great to create to have you. How you doing? It's great to be with you, Owen. It's always a pleasure. I was saying I wish we could do something more fun, like talking about, you know, Christy Noam's, husband's cross-dressing and gigantic fake boobs. But another day. Once we get past World War III, maybe we can talk about those sorts of things. Could like the apocalypse just take a day off, is what I'm asking? Do you know what I mean? That would be nice. The world going to shit. But still, I was just saying before we came on, you'll look at serve. Again, you're looking typically drab and you're yeah you're this is the only joy |
| 1:12.7 | we're going to get in this conversation um all right let's just start yeah i mean let's before we |
| 1:18.0 | talk about trump and is because i'm interested is it you know could it all fall apart what's it all |
| 1:22.6 | going to mean for the midterms generally the maga movement the democrats what they do but i mean |
| 1:27.1 | let's just start |
| 1:27.7 | with all these, you know, Stama, the British Prime Minister for now, the Australian Prime |
| 1:34.0 | Minister and all the rest doing these addresses, because an economic tsunami is coming our way. |
| 1:40.1 | I mean, what's your, what's your gut feeling on all of that? |
| 1:46.9 | My gut feeling is sheer terror, basically. |
| 2:00.6 | I mean, when you have three of the five members of the five eyes coming out, leaders on one day and saying, oh, we better address the public in a very serious way, I think that's enough to make anyone a little bit nervous. And so you've got Starmor, you've got Albany, both saying, look, we've got this economic catastrophe coming. Starmor saying, I thought, very noteworthy, like we're going to convene this meeting of all these European leaders talking about some sort of diplomatic negotiations to deal with the strait of hormones, which again, is already basically a win for Iran, because what that means is like, we're going to have to deal with these people we of Hormuz, which again is already basically a win for Iran, |
| 2:17.9 | because what that means is like, we're going to have to deal with these people. We're going to work out some kind of a deal here since the U.S. Trump is now signaling, hey, go get your own oil. We are not going to. We're willing to walk away with the Strait of Hormuz, not really close, but under the complete control of Iran. |
| 2:33.0 | So you've got that and clearly a lot of |
| 2:35.1 | dire concerns about the economic fallout that is yet to come. And then you have Trump speaking |
| 2:40.6 | tonight. God only knows what he's announcing. And God only knows whether whatever he announces tonight |
| 2:46.2 | is actually, you know, reflective of his thinking or where this war is going. Because on the one hand, |
