Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Mill Creek Podcast. I'm Jerry J.J. Saxton. I'm here. Hanging out. My friend. My co-host, my co-conspirator, Nick Hausman. Nick, I'm getting tired of being right about shit. Always winning, right? Isn't that the name of the game here?

It sucks. I want this podcast to go out of existence.

I want to lose all credibility by being wrong and then reaching a point where people like, I don't know. Let's stop.

Right. I mean, there is an old adage that says, yeah, I don't want to be part of a group that would have someone like me as a member.

Oh, Groucho. Hats off Groucho. Yeah. Are we hiding out? That's not wondering now. There's a great question. Right? I like that. I like that. Everybody, listen, we have a jam pack show. We have the fallout from the Chinese visit, which I believe we had that. I believe we had to fall out from that. Also, some of the

most astounding quotes out of a sitting president of the United States of America. I can't

wait to talk about this. Man, what a thing. We also have leaked reports about what might be

happening in Iran as the economic conditions worsened. Good news, Trump's not worried

about our economic conditions. So we got that going for us. We have a slush fund, a $1.776 billion

slush fund that is being put together in order to hand out political favors to Trump's base and

supporters. And guess what? Cuba. They might need taking care of, Nick. It's really weird. They told us a while back they were planning on invading Cuba and taking it over, possibly in June. And now all of a sudden, we have some amazing reports about why we might need to do that. A reminder, before we get into all that and more, head over to patreon.com slash mark Craig podcast.

And also, Nick, they're already listening to the previews of the Weekender. They're all, they're driving to work. They're getting like a 10 minute chunk. Like, I'm sure your commute is more than 10 minutes likely. Like, get the

weekender, Patreon.com slash my great podcast. And every week do, do do that, but, you know,

do you listen to it at the gym. I don't know what you're doing with your lives. Like,

you're listening to the preview list and the main show.

Nick, last week we were talking about Trump's imminent visit to China,

going there to beg on his knees for China to intervene and stop the Iran war.

And again, Iran has no reason whatsoever to sue for peace at this point.

And, Nick, we laid out three scenarios. We laid out the possibility that China would help the

United States, get them out, and then, you know, take over as the bestriding global hegemon.

We talked about the possibility that they could even get a promise to intervene. And then we talked

about a third one, which was the worst case scenario, which would see

China humble the United States, get everything that they possibly wanted, get probably
