Peter, so why did this assassination attempt happen? "Well, in the 1930s, we had a great depression,... and now it's not that we're running out of kids, we're running out of working age adults."
He's saying that the current tension in the US is because of demographic decline and immigration. If America is to stay a great power it needs immigration but it will no longer be a white protestant dominated society.
History is made from Trends and moments. Peter tends to be right on trends. But moments also make History, that is what make it hard to predict. And 1 cm and 1 head turn made history today.
@@wisenber Yea hearing it once in the right context is somewhat profound, but when it’s regurgitated at every interview with the same hand motions it becomes clear that the messenger is a complete dolt.
Everyone lives through historical events. You’re not special. You actually have it incredibly easy compared to literally everyone else that’s lived before you.
@@timtebow777 That's quite true. And now the American World Empire is in decline compared to the rest of the world. Trump, in my view, aims at adapting to that change. Biden and the Democrats LIKE the American World Empire, because it's given them the power to tell EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD what they must and must not do. They LIKE that power and want to keep it. Which side are YOU on?
@@SeattlePioneer As the late great American president Warren G. Harding put it , "'Normalcy' not nostrums!" And another interesting little tidbit. The correct word is "normality" but the press of the day was too respectful of the president to point that out. My how times have changed.
So basically Peter is saying a 20 year old is reacting poorly to change? What a terrible analysis! What exactly was this 20 year old accustomed to that is changing so dramatically?
There is a curse that is attributed to the Chinese, " May you live in interesting times." Mr. Zeihan didn't mention the 1960's with the assination of John Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Kent State students, civil rights activists (freedom riders), Robert Kennedy and Marin luther King Jr. There were race riots in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. It was a wild and unsettling ride. Millennials, Gen X and Z never experienced it.
There's no such thing as uninteresting times. In fact, given that the human population is continuously increasing, events, being functions of human activity, necessarily increase correspondingly. Maybe try not to be so categorically dismissive of the other generations' experiences, Boomer; I mean, your 'tough times' also managed to sail through plenty of years of unparalleled liberty and affluence, too. Kids now are trapped inside, depressed, obese, and alone. And that's in the First world. Talk about wild and unsettling.
@@Scarletpimpanel73 are you really so foolish as to think it wasn't an assassination attempt? or are you one of the people who think that it was staged? cause if so that is just plain asinine.
They’ve already had to backtrack from the “donation to progressive advocacy group.” It’s another guy with the same name. A kid in a gun club in rural PA donating to Actblue? Nope, don’t buy it. That is why you wait for facts to be sifted out.
@@GotGracexxxxx rural PA? you do realize bethel park is a wealthy suburb of Pittsburgh right? it's not rural one bit, bethel park and the Pittsburgh area is very liberal, even most of rural PA votes blue too, especially in local elections... as for that ACT Blue situation, you're a liar... there are plenty of fact checking sites that say the kid made the donation so far you're the only person I heard spew out that drivel... don't sit here and try to lie about the state I live in and the communities I live near, I know them infinitely better than you.
Yes! I want to know too lol. But my guess is this is not going to help Trump as much as people think. Everyone has pretty much already made up their mind who they are voting for I don't think this is gonna get anyone to suddenly change their mind.
@@S-tank_ he give his opinion with such arrogance and confidence that he looks like a complete idiot when he wrong, and how did he not realize he was wrong? Biden is a dead man walking. It was pretty obvious if he stop watching CNN once in a while
Usually I listen and like but I just felt like it was weird to hear about a specific event involving violence towards a US presidential candidate being turned into a speech about global economics and how the world is changing as a whole...not knocking your points but it just seemed like you repeated some media talking points before changing the subject entirely. The fact is that many of those in the media and in politics don't like Donald Trump and as such they have vilified him into some kind of physical incarnation of evil. They have literally compared him to Hitler and to Nazi ideology as a whole and made claims that he will use his 2nd term to enshrine himself to dictatorial status. We have been told that his presidency will bring violence and genocide to those with opposing views. This is what the liberal elite wanted. They might not have paid for it or actually hired a guy to go do it, but they've been asking for it since 2017. They they post headlines with words like "tragic" and "innocent bystanders" as if we're supposed to believe they actually believe the BS they spew lol. This isn't some unexpected and crazy thing that happened out of the blue. Trump is just as fragile and just as human as any one of us and to paint him as the embodiment of all that is wrong with this world glosses over the real evils that exist within our communities. In our schools. On our streets. That evil being predetermined outcomes and warrantless assumptions. I know you aren't a conservative. I know you don't support Trump...but that's okay! It's not a requirement in life that everybody who is good in this world also as to agree with anyone else when it comes to personal opinions. Doesn't matter. I still love your videos because I know you're a good person who stands by his word and doesn't try to deceive his viewers. However that doesn't make you infallible, obviously. We all make mistakes and there's nothing bad about admitting you were wrong. It's honorable TBH. Don't ever stop being you, because you are awesome. But you need to stop making such bold assumptions based purely on your political preferences my guy :)
They’ve been raging on the guy since 2015, it only picked up in 2017 because now Trump was THE PRESIDENT, rather than a front runner at a primary to be the president. Besides that, agreed take what you like from Zeihan and discard the rest that you hate.
Whenever I see something topical and political with Peter, I grimace when I hit the play button. Because you don't know if you are going to get logical Mr. Zeihan giving you solid context on what just transpired or if you are going to get snickering Pete telling you his opinion on why he has the giggles. Fortunately tonight was the former and not the later.
“Guy tries to ride the wave of current events for more views but all of his knowledge is tied up in demographics, so he steers the video in that direction”
@@trentbosnicum…yeah, his knowledge IS tied up in demographics. And that’s a good thing. While everyone else in the world is wringing their hands in this single moment, Zeihan is reminding us of bigger issues. This assassination attempt is nowhere near as important as the events surrounding it, especially since trump survived. If he was killed the republicans would have to find another nominee but since he survived, the election and american politics will continue as forseen
You literally should have heard him on Joe Rogan a few years ago 😂 It was just this continuous well-presented technobabble, very matter of fact like Nostradamus predictions of which none came true.. Bitcoin one was the funniest.
Truly you don't want to support any sympathy for Trump. I seriously work hard to engage myself in someway of earning more income. My family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$57k k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.

So then why he is deleting all my contributions and comments when I disagree with him ? Just posting in civil manner and well explained - and he is deleting quickly everything
Keep in mind that a few weeks ago, this guy was talking about how much he loved Joe Biden, how great Joe Biden was, how smart and competent and energetic Joe Biden was, and how Joe Biden was going to win in a landslide against Trump. Yeah.
I like most of his content and find his views entertaining and maybe accurate. But whenever he starts talking about American politics, you can see his bias appear. This is fine as long as he would proclaim it, but like most media, which he is a part of when you get right down to it, it hurts his integrity and therefore our opinion of his views on his other views happening in the world.
Peter is not so much part of the media as his is the US intelligence community. He clearly has gotten in bed with them because they have a lot of information that is useful to his business but the reverse side of that is that they feed him a lot of information that is the intel community's preferred narrative. When he talks American politics take what he says a healthy dose of salt.
I've watched most of his videos and read his latest book. It's clear he loathes Donald Trump and Barack Obama and isn't a big fan of Biden. He's more of a policy by policy pragmatic type. The only president I remember him repeatedly praising was Bush 41. Probably the last great pragmatic diplomat we've had in office.
@@atticusmatlock4305imagine, Peter liked the former head of the CIA, the Head Spook. Probably has a portrait of Comey too, he's a real stand up guy. 🤣
@powershift2024 I would recommend checking out his latest book. He does a deep dive into the geopolitics of the fall of the Soviet Union and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Bush handled these events with an incredible amount of dexterity and diplomacy. The respect he had from leaders in the rest of the world prevented a complete meltdown in the Middle East. He was the perfect president for that time. We have not had a president since then who had so much diplomatic experience and it has showed.
Respectfully, if you look at history, Trump is mighty close to Hitler in many ways, only not as smart. Fortunately for him, there's a large portion of the US that's even less intelligent. It doesn't help that he's also got the internet to help spread misinformation. It's all a self-reinforcing recipe for the rise of authoritarianism in the US. (Or worse, our own version of Handmaid's Tale)
Remind what trumps words to Hilary was? Hilarious how republicans all of sudden care about civility, especially trumps faction. Where was this civility on Jan 6, when Pelosi’s husband was attacked, when people were chasing and looking for Mike pence. How about when for 8 years you were saying Obama’s from Kenya. How about that there no scandal about Biden so you have to go after his junkie son like your candidate’s son, Trump Jr, and his son in law kushner are filled with scandals.
That’s because Peter is a part of the problem. Leftists always demonizing Trump with no real facts to back up their claims. You can claim you don’t like Trump’s language but demonizing him for saying he’s a threat to democracy when there were no wars started by him, cutting taxes and controlling the border was pretty much what he did. He started tariffs which Biden continued. He did things that a 1980’s democrat would do but Zeihan acts like he’s the retarted version of Hitler. Such a hypocrite . A Bernie Sanders voter shot Republican Steve Scalise and Zeihan and his ilk claim MAGA is a problem in the USA
When it comes to an ongoing event, Peter works on the basis of information available at the time his video is made. The information available, and repeated on MSM, was that it was the same individual. Peter cannot forsee days or even hours ahead how the news information is going to update. The important thing is how the geopolitical large picture stands, which is covered in detail.
@@judewarner1536 you're right, peter can't foresee anything. why anyone listens to this liberal idiot is amazing. peter is just another left wing paid propogandist
Or you just didnt understand what he said. TL:DR When world is going up and every one is getting richer, people are happy and chill. When the world changes and people want change. It creates uncertain future which produces stress which in turn produces violence. It can come in many different kind of forms. From people voting habbits to global power like US stop being as active in the world, which shakes up globalization and security around the world, which will hit many parts of the world that could turn ugly real quick and end up in conflicts with neighbors, etc. Thats why he talked about the past. It has happened before and its happening now. We are living in different times so it might not be identical to the past but the history is repeating.
FYI Mr. Zeihan - the Nye County Nevada GOP caucus in 2016 had 250 attendees, in 2020 there were 300. In 2024 a couple of months ago 7,000+ came to caucus. This was beyond belief. The venue we booked (Ruud Center) only allows 450 people inside at a time. I am a precinct captain and it took over 6 hours to get everyone in the building and have their votes processed. Actual caucusing was impossible. The only thing that we could do was collect votes and then count the vote.
It's the same for most of the nation. Nationwide last month, there were over 100,000 more people registering as Republican than there was Democrats or others. Peter is deluding himself when he says there are more Democrats than Republicans. Then again, Peter "believes in the power of government to effect positive change in the world". Thinking like that is delusion and ignoring what over 6000 years of human civilization has taught us. "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one" - Thomas Paine "Common Sense" 1776.
Peter thank you for this objective and encompassing viewpoint. It is very non-constructive to write off half of US voters as simply ‘MAGA Nazis’. There are a lot of factors in play
Do not forget that Peter has referred to Donald Trump an "existential threat to democracy." The exact language that caused the assassination attempt in the first place. He is entertaining on demographics but wrong on history and politics.
I've said the same thing for past couple years. On demographics he's spot on, besides other geopolitical scholars have been saying the same exact thing for years. Regarding everything else, it's been a crap shot.
@@Leftatalbuquerqueif only we didn’t have a massive corporate media empire telling us how we should feel about someone saying what they would do in a what if. And then have a moral panic attack of “Think of the Democracy?!!”
@@henrygonzalez360Yep, the man has good charisma when speaking of demographics and maybe geographical resources and what that can lead too, but the rest is just shit with none of the charisma to either make it look pretty or make him not look like an idiot at all a lot of the time.
His predictions are as accurate as a coin toss, look at his predictions published in Stratfor before he left(they're on the web), so vague it was like translating Nostradamus and even then it was 50/50 giving him the benefit of the doubt. Arrogant and often wildly incorrect, that's ol Petey Boy. 😂
You mean the GOP politicians. You could say the GOP includes elected officials who make CLAIMS. (ps, just go full all caps, it's liberating and gets more attention)
I'm Australian but went to college in America and I agree. Peter is far less pragmatic and filters a lot with respect to America than he is with other countries.
@@tonywilson4713 I said the same thing about him on a previous video he made . He’s more promoting the USA for ever opportunity good news abroad , and at the same time he declares a foreign power bankrupt or lost , like its a casual regional football game . He used to be ( or still is ?) part of a geopolitical think tank , so despite his sexy smooth rhetoric , he’s very biased in favor of USA domestic , stuff , he usually avoids to be quoted wrong afterwards , while he would not care less if someone across the ocean called his bluf or predictions on a foreign power …
@@qiqi2692 I think you are mostly right. Peter is certainly biased towards America but considering how many Americans think he's NOT as biased as most Americans are. He certainly doesn't promote American Exceptionalism BUT he does avoid a lot of American issues. I'm Australian but went to college in America (late 80s) and America has certainly slipped in terms of education and I saw some early signs back in the 80s. I'm just surprised that so many American's just don't get it and they certainly don't get what the long term effects are. For example I used to be amazed how well Americans understood their constitution and how the government institutions worked. These days I fell like I know more than the average American does. It stuns me how ignorant so many of them are when they speak. Its NOT the America I went to college in OR AT LEAST it seems that way. *PLUS In a well educated society Trump (78) and Biden (81) would NOT be competing to be President.* Younger more energetic types with a some sort of future vision would be there. Keir Stammer (Britain) & Anthony Albanese (Australia) are both 61. Emmanuel Macron (France) is 46. Justin Trudeau (Canada) is in between at 52. Claudia Sheinbaum who just won the Presidency of Mexico is 62 and the outgoing President Andrés Obrador is 70. Americans can be so IGNORANT (as they ignore things) when it comes to problems within America. Its a lesson to other nations.
Peter does not like Trump. I feel from this video he is just explaining or letting everyone know why Trump is going to win. Very biased person I only watch his videos for international crap that goes on.
He’s usually good with macro things, and tends to be biased when it comes to US domestics. To me I was on the center and a bit right, not a Trump voter by a stretch, but he’s been putting so much sh*t on Trump it is way too obvious to me as a center. Peter probably dislikes Trump because Trump would fire people like him - elitists.
The Civil Rights era of the 1960’s also saw a violent shift with the polar flipping of the parties. Blacks left the Republican Party in droves and joined the Democratic Party, and southern whites eventually shifted from the Democratic Party to the Republicans. It was NOT a painless or peaceful era.
umm - in fact - black vote for republicans was at its highest for Eisenhower - @ 33% . It changed dramatically through the 60's with the civil rights act of 64 and after - when all the segregationists who had been southern democrats - switched to the republican party - there after - not hard to understand at all. There are different terms - conservative is one -for instance - that gets tossed in - as in republican / conservative . I think that is more social / cultural oriented - used to be southern conservatives were democrats . They were democrats - and supported those economic policies which favored workers over corporations - but they drew the line on those cultural values - which essentially was race - now it is that and homosexuality - those things - tend to override any rational decision making one might be able to do - that in a nutshell is how we got this way
the radical FAR left embedded itself into the Dem Party 1968 Chicago convention. Over the decades they moved row by row from the back of the bus to the drivers seat. Also LBJ showered black communities with boatloads of money that never got to them as planned.
Republicans passed the Civil Rights legislature, not the democrats who voted overwhelmingly No. Wikipedia the house and Senate votes for each party and the truth is glaringly obvious. And no, there wasn't a large reshuffling of the parties, the democrats are still as racist today as back then. Even Biden gave Robert Byrd's(triple K wizard) eulogy in 2010.
Can any of you list all of the Democrats that shifted to Republican during the 60’s? People keep saying this happened to convince themselves the Dems are not the racists but they don’t list the names to prove this. It’s only been a few, which last I checked, is not the whole party.
It's certain that this year will bring more challenges. Looking back, I realized that I spent the entire previous year making expensive financial blunders because I was so consumed with worrying about my portfolio. I was forced to decide between raising my investments and purchasing a home. I discovered that the property I had bought needed more work than I had anticipated after deciding to sell my investments. It's becoming more difficult to determine how much longer I can take this.
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2022 to enhance my portfolio, and in the last ten months, I've made profits in over fifty thousand different marketplaces. Should 2023 teach us anything, it's that luck doesn't last forever. Even in times of abundance, we should put in more effort to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Thank you Peter for this broad assessment of how U.S. politics is changing. As a Brit I often find it bewildering trying to understand the undercurrents driving this and link that with what I see happening at the geopolitical and global macro economic level. Whilst I think there’s much more to current US political and social divisions, the awful attempt on Trump’s life, this was a thought provoking post. It’ll be very interesting to see how the U.S. alliance with Europe will change in particular vis a vis Europe’s support for Ukraine and our own security interests.
"I remember that video where you said Trump had no chance of winning in 2024. I generally find your insights solid, but that prediction had me thinking. Despite your usually accurate analysis, human behavior is unpredictable and can sway outcomes. Never underestimate the human factor-it's a crucial variable that can influence events in ways we might not anticipate."
Was this video a Kamala Harris word mess style ripoff? He PZ the male version of our VP now. Seriously, what did anyone get from this video titled: Assassination attempt on Donald Trump Lmaooooooooooooo😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😂😂
@@godschild6694 Yeah. Try keeping your audience (who expects honest and insightful analysis) happy, while keeping your government sources (who expect obedience to The Narrative) happy as well. I don't envy Peter his position, although it would be interesting to see him tell the truth for a change.
Zeihan does global trends over long time horizons based on geographic, demographic and geopolitical factors in a historical context. Those complaining about his failings with regard to short term events like the next election are looking in the wrong place. He will throw out an opinion because we demand it, but he’s not an expert. You can see his lack of enthusiasm when he’s forced to talk about politics.
Thank you Tom. I was looking to see if someone would mention that. He's not CNN. He's long term trends. Also of note that a lot of people that hate his work seem to watch and comment daily. Guess it's not too bad if they keep cominng back.
yeah - what you say makes sense - I think he talks in macro trends - and tries to handicap who is following those trends and can better position themselves to maximize advantage much more so than what Americans want - which is their guy to win- because that is really what it has come to - myself included .
Good response, and I think you're right, his big picture long term thinking seems (to me) to have some legs and that's what I come for, his closer range view not so much .. maybe he needs glasses to help his focus on the short range, though I'm not sure lenses can do much to correct for personal bias 😉
I am so, so tired of hearing Americans complain about the ‘’cost’’ and how unfair it is that they have to be the world police. Do Americans not realize that most of these wars and military deployments are made to serve their economic interests, to weaken their political rivals, to protect their trade routes, to fuel their military industry? Are Americans so self-centered that they can’t see the privilege and position that has given them over the rest of the world? Sure the rest of NATO and other allies often gets the runoff benefits, but what about the disastrous conflicts we’ve been roped into for America’s sake? I guess those conflicts don’t matter, but as soon a we get one war as in Ukraine that is more important to Europe than it is to the US, then it’s an outrage and people want to go straight back to isolation. American entitlement and arrogance truly knows no bounds.
Or you could go the Australian way and be stuck with voting on party lines and your representative votes as the party wants, not what the voters want. Be care not to think the grass is greener over the fence . Respect from Australia .
That is true. Political coalitions in the United States tend to dominate political parties for decades. But eventually those coalitions can shake political parties to their foundations, and that is happening now in the United States. I've always found parliamentary systems to be appealing, but in the United States we have adapted to change for more than a couple of hundred years. And counting. So far, so good.
@@Cmshot1 All countries have their challenges, and the United States and Canada are part of that reality. What part of Canada do you live in? And how do you see issues that might result in the dissolution of Canada? Economic issues with Alberta, cultural issues with the French in Quebec, Indian tribes anxious to grab all they can -----lots of things can damage Canada in the coming decades. On the other hand, Canada reached compromises with Quebec that blunted secession and strengthened Canadian unity at some cost. Indian tribes are (at least in the United States) mainly interested in being BOUGHT OFF by government. The United States has no interest in Canada breaking up --- a considerable strength for Canada. So Canada has both strengths and weaknesses, as I see it. In what areas above am I mistaken? And how do you assess Canada's strengths and weaknesses?
Crap. I liked Zeihan, but i can no longer see him as an unbiased source of information anymore. "injured lightly"? Sure, he will survive. He only had a bullet fly through his ear because at the very last moment, he turned his head. Why did this happen? You are not going to mention the rhetoric that was used by many major news sources that might have inspired this? Agree with trump or not, but conservatives have been crying out about the possibility of an assassination attempt since they tried to strip him of his security detail. Seems like Zeihan felt like he had to way in on this but didnt have anything of value to say because of his clear biases.

Australia news " reporter - Who will win? Zeihan - Biden by a landslide" I love you bro, I just do not trust your predictions.😅😅😅
Trump/Biden 2020 and 2024 has been a big blind spot for him. He's a left leaning "independent" who's probably never voted for a Republican. IMHO he understands the trends, supply chains, demographics, and global geopolitics much more than the specific people at the "peak" of the "wave."
Peter, PA is a closed primary state. There was a Dem campaign to have party member register as R to vote for Nikki Haley, that could be the reason the shooter was a registered R and contributed to D
he registered republican at the end of 2021, long before the primary season. and his $15 contribution to democrats was to some generic voter registration group. he may not have even been aware it was a democrat group.
@@HankSemoreButz it's also 'conjecture' and 'probably not true' to assert without evidence that he switched his registration to vote against trump in the primary. but you don't seem to have an issue with that.
So the media and Joe Biden didn’t call Donald Trump a threat to our democracy about a million times over the past year? I kinda figured that may have had something to do with it… I supposed comparing him to Hitler didn’t give this dude a nudge either
While not all conservatives are nut jobs, Conservative nut jobs listen to Alex Jones and Fuentes. I suggest you go listen to what they have been saying about Trump lately.

He was a Democrat who registered as a Republican so he could vote in the Pennsylvania Republican primary against Trump. Pennsylvania has closed primaries.
@@lucaschaves8308come back and tell me how he is aggressively independent after you read all of his books, where in in the prefaces of each one he acknowledges himself as a small democrat voter. Or that in his video after the debate he would still vote for Biden over Trump no matter the cost. At no point has this been ever hinted at being independent, only that he doesn’t like either party much, which means jackshit if that’s your evidence for being independent.
@@user-ep3zt9bn2y I only read his last book, the end of the world is just beginning and even in there he is agressively independent too. His stance on the whole cultural war is destain because that doesn't matter to him and his political views seems to be economical first to last which makes clear that he thinks both candidates are absolutely bottom of the barril awful. That makes him very independent
Last week Obama and the New York Times were waging an INSURRECTION against Biden, and people were saying they were BOUND to force Biden out. Remember George Clooney? This week, not a PEEP! Predictions are hard, especially about the future. Still, if you can merely understand the fundamental truth about what is going on, without all the spin, you will be doing pretty good.
I don't know. Probably a year ago or so I said to my mom that I felt like we were going back to the '80s because of the way things were going with inflation and all the other things prior to then. Ironically, that was also the last time we had an assassination attempt.
@@MasterMalrubius Stagflation began in the early 70s, under Nixon. You know, "Nixon Shock?" He was a Republican, btw. "Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans."
I love conspiracy theorists :-D they always make me laugh ... according to various polls, Haley/Desantis would do better in the GE against Biden than Trump so if anything Democrats ( at least the smart ones ) were rooting for Trump to win.
@@Brockliynah, on this he is right. Zeihan hates Trump and has never been shy of it in all of his hundreds of ducomented online hours whenever maga gets mentioned. Generally when Zeihan and the Ruse of the Right (be it Trump or otherwise) he is constantly dealing with it as a massive blind spot. The fact that he actually argued the right is rising in Europe he attributed it to the growing “OLD PEOPLE” in Europe, rather than fucking migration.
We will know in November who the true majority is in America. We vote to discover what the majority view of where the Nation wants to go. The problem is we have segments in society who really don't respect voting and the outcomes of the nations voice.

@stephengrinkley9889 Peter repeated here what he's been saying for years.

If he named the video differently you wouldn't be seeing these comments.
@@SignalLost730 Well if you have been watching Peter Zeihan for years you should know that what he does is he takes an event and explains in his opinion what it means in a geopolitical context. We already know that there was an attempt on Trump a couple days ago, and we know of the suspect. Everything else is speculation and conspiracy based on the fact that there's an ongoing investigation and we don't know much else. If you want more of that there are plenty of other channels.
Peter, so why did this assassination attempt happen?
"Well, in the 1930s, we had a great depression,... and now it's not that we're running out of kids, we're running out of working age adults."
😂😂😂
In 939 duke Rurik establishes Kyiv...

That's quite true.
And now the American World Empire is in decline compared to the rest of the world. Trump, in my view, aims at adapting to that change.
Biden and the Democrats LIKE the American World Empire, because it's given them the power to tell EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD what they must and must not do. They LIKE that power and want to keep it.
Which side are YOU on?
@@SeattlePioneer As the late great American president Warren G. Harding put it , "'Normalcy' not nostrums!" And another interesting little tidbit. The correct word is "normality" but the press of the day was too respectful of the president to point that out. My how times have changed.
The title is just clickbait, while the video has almost nothing to do with the first Trump assassination attempt.
So basically Peter is saying a 20 year old is reacting poorly to change? What a terrible analysis! What exactly was this 20 year old accustomed to that is changing so dramatically?
20 year old is reacting to the media drilling into him every day of his entire adult life that Trump is an "existential threat to democracy."

There is a curse that is attributed to the Chinese, " May you live in interesting times." Mr. Zeihan didn't mention the 1960's with the assination of John Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Kent State students, civil rights activists (freedom riders), Robert Kennedy and Marin luther King Jr. There were race riots in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. It was a wild and unsettling ride. Millennials, Gen X and Z never experienced it.

Did he even mention the assassination?
Yes. Did you even listen?
Usually I listen and like but I just felt like it was weird to hear about a specific event involving violence towards a US presidential candidate being turned into a speech about global economics and how the world is changing as a whole...not knocking your points but it just seemed like you repeated some media talking points before changing the subject entirely.
The fact is that many of those in the media and in politics don't like Donald Trump and as such they have vilified him into some kind of physical incarnation of evil. They have literally compared him to Hitler and to Nazi ideology as a whole and made claims that he will use his 2nd term to enshrine himself to dictatorial status. We have been told that his presidency will bring violence and genocide to those with opposing views. This is what the liberal elite wanted. They might not have paid for it or actually hired a guy to go do it, but they've been asking for it since 2017. They they post headlines with words like "tragic" and "innocent bystanders" as if we're supposed to believe they actually believe the BS they spew lol. This isn't some unexpected and crazy thing that happened out of the blue. Trump is just as fragile and just as human as any one of us and to paint him as the embodiment of all that is wrong with this world glosses over the real evils that exist within our communities. In our schools. On our streets. That evil being predetermined outcomes and warrantless assumptions.
I know you aren't a conservative. I know you don't support Trump...but that's okay! It's not a requirement in life that everybody who is good in this world also as to agree with anyone else when it comes to personal opinions. Doesn't matter. I still love your videos because I know you're a good person who stands by his word and doesn't try to deceive his viewers. However that doesn't make you infallible, obviously. We all make mistakes and there's nothing bad about admitting you were wrong. It's honorable TBH. Don't ever stop being you, because you are awesome. But you need to stop making such bold assumptions based purely on your political preferences my guy :)
They’ve been raging on the guy since 2015, it only picked up in 2017 because now Trump was THE PRESIDENT, rather than a front runner at a primary to be the president. Besides that, agreed take what you like from Zeihan and discard the rest that you hate.
Sorry Peter, but in this episode it just seems like you are bloviating

Fortunately tonight was the former and not the later.
This clip should be titled: "Changing World and nothing about Assassination Attempt"
Exactly. Rather than looking at surface level details he’s talking about how and why this happened.

@@trentbosnicum…yeah, his knowledge IS tied up in demographics.
And that’s a good thing. While everyone else in the world is wringing their hands in this single moment, Zeihan is reminding us of bigger issues. This assassination attempt is nowhere near as important as the events surrounding it, especially since trump survived. If he was killed the republicans would have to find another nominee but since he survived, the election and american politics will continue as forseen

Keep in mind that a few weeks ago, this guy was talking about how much he loved Joe Biden, how great Joe Biden was, how smart and competent and energetic Joe Biden was, and how Joe Biden was going to win in a landslide against Trump. Yeah.
I like most of his content and find his views entertaining and maybe accurate. But whenever he starts talking about American politics, you can see his bias appear. This is fine as long as he would proclaim it, but like most media, which he is a part of when you get right down to it, it hurts his integrity and therefore our opinion of his views on his other views happening in the world.
Peter is not so much part of the media as his is the US intelligence community. He clearly has gotten in bed with them because they have a lot of information that is useful to his business but the reverse side of that is that they feed him a lot of information that is the intel community's preferred narrative. When he talks American politics take what he says a healthy dose of salt.
I've watched most of his videos and read his latest book. It's clear he loathes Donald Trump and Barack Obama and isn't a big fan of Biden. He's more of a policy by policy pragmatic type. The only president I remember him repeatedly praising was Bush 41. Probably the last great pragmatic diplomat we've had in office.
"He says something that I don't agree with, therefore is biased."
@@atticusmatlock4305imagine, Peter liked the former head of the CIA, the Head Spook. Probably has a portrait of Comey too, he's a real stand up guy. 🤣
@powershift2024 I would recommend checking out his latest book. He does a deep dive into the geopolitics of the fall of the Soviet Union and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Bush handled these events with an incredible amount of dexterity and diplomacy. The respect he had from leaders in the rest of the world prevented a complete meltdown in the Middle East. He was the perfect president for that time. We have not had a president since then who had so much diplomatic experience and it has showed.

So calling Trump "adolf" for 8 years has nothing to do with it?? What a relief Peter.
Respectfully, if you look at history, Trump is mighty close to Hitler in many ways, only not as smart. Fortunately for him, there's a large portion of the US that's even less intelligent. It doesn't help that he's also got the internet to help spread misinformation. It's all a self-reinforcing recipe for the rise of authoritarianism in the US. (Or worse, our own version of Handmaid's Tale)

You think denial of Jan 6 has nothing to do with it?
@@titanblooded6222the Supreme Court denied it again? and the first "bipartisan" committee destroyed evidence again again??? Who would've thunk it...
Remind what trumps words to Hilary was? Hilarious how republicans all of sudden care about civility, especially trumps faction. Where was this civility on Jan 6, when Pelosi’s husband was attacked, when people were chasing and looking for Mike pence. How about when for 8 years you were saying Obama’s from Kenya. How about that there no scandal about Biden so you have to go after his junkie son like your candidate’s son, Trump Jr, and his son in law kushner are filled with scandals.
Peter, like most Dems, said nothing about the assassination attempt.
The words are literally in the title but whatever
That’s because Peter is a part of the problem. Leftists always demonizing Trump with no real facts to back up their claims. You can claim you don’t like Trump’s language but demonizing him for saying he’s a threat to democracy when there were no wars started by him, cutting taxes and controlling the border was pretty much what he did. He started tariffs which Biden continued. He did things that a 1980’s democrat would do but Zeihan acts like he’s the retarted version of Hitler. Such a hypocrite . A Bernie Sanders voter shot Republican Steve Scalise and Zeihan and his ilk claim MAGA is a problem in the USA
You keep up with "most Dems"?
Peter! A person of the same name was responsible for the donation, not the shooter. For crying out loud, even you are spreading misinformation. Shame!
When it comes to an ongoing event, Peter works on the basis of information available at the time his video is made. The information available, and repeated on MSM, was that it was the same individual. Peter cannot forsee days or even hours ahead how the news information is going to update. The important thing is how the geopolitical large picture stands, which is covered in detail.

TL:DR When world is going up and every one is getting richer, people are happy and chill.
When the world changes and people want change. It creates uncertain future which produces stress which in turn produces violence.
It can come in many different kind of forms. From people voting habbits to global power like US stop being as active in the world, which shakes up globalization and security around the world, which will hit many parts of the world that could turn ugly real quick and end up in conflicts with neighbors, etc.
Thats why he talked about the past. It has happened before and its happening now. We are living in different times so it might not be identical to the past but the history is repeating.
CIA provides him talking points. RUclips boosts his videos
Peter didn't talk about what everyone is talking about....
FYI Mr. Zeihan - the Nye County Nevada GOP caucus in 2016 had 250 attendees, in 2020 there were 300. In 2024 a couple of months ago 7,000+ came to caucus. This was beyond belief. The venue we booked (Ruud Center) only allows 450 people inside at a time. I am a precinct captain and it took over 6 hours to get everyone in the building and have their votes processed. Actual caucusing was impossible. The only thing that we could do was collect votes and then count the vote.
It's the same for most of the nation. Nationwide last month, there were over 100,000 more people registering as Republican than there was Democrats or others.
Peter is deluding himself when he says there are more Democrats than Republicans.
Then again, Peter "believes in the power of government to effect positive change in the world".
Thinking like that is delusion and ignoring what over 6000 years of human civilization has taught us.
"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one" - Thomas Paine "Common Sense" 1776.
Weren't there a lot of people there to vote against Trump?
Which means? Little. Which matters to the bigger picture? Very little. It's relevance to what Peter is saying here? Nothing.

Do not forget that Peter has referred to Donald Trump an "existential threat to democracy." The exact language that caused the assassination attempt in the first place. He is entertaining on demographics but wrong on history and politics.
I've said the same thing for past couple years. On demographics he's spot on, besides other geopolitical scholars have been saying the same exact thing for years. Regarding everything else, it's been a crap shot.
Donald is quoted as saying he would be a dictator (for a day - but that is all it would take). Who is responsible for this language, exactly?

Peter is certainly biased towards America but considering how many Americans think he's NOT as biased as most Americans are.
He certainly doesn't promote American Exceptionalism BUT he does avoid a lot of American issues. I'm Australian but went to college in America (late 80s) and America has certainly slipped in terms of education and I saw some early signs back in the 80s. I'm just surprised that so many American's just don't get it and they certainly don't get what the long term effects are.
For example I used to be amazed how well Americans understood their constitution and how the government institutions worked. These days I fell like I know more than the average American does. It stuns me how ignorant so many of them are when they speak. Its NOT the America I went to college in OR AT LEAST it seems that way.
*PLUS In a well educated society Trump (78) and Biden (81) would NOT be competing to be President.* Younger more energetic types with a some sort of future vision would be there. Keir Stammer (Britain) & Anthony Albanese (Australia) are both 61. Emmanuel Macron (France) is 46. Justin Trudeau (Canada) is in between at 52. Claudia Sheinbaum who just won the Presidency of Mexico is 62 and the outgoing President Andrés Obrador is 70.

The Civil Rights era of the 1960’s also saw a violent shift with the polar flipping of the parties. Blacks left the Republican Party in droves and joined the Democratic Party, and southern whites eventually shifted from the Democratic Party to the Republicans. It was NOT a painless or peaceful era.
umm - in fact - black vote for republicans was at its highest for Eisenhower - @ 33% . It changed dramatically through the 60's with the civil rights act of 64 and after - when all the segregationists who had been southern democrats - switched to the republican party - there after - not hard to understand at all. There are different terms - conservative is one -for instance - that gets tossed in - as in republican / conservative . I think that is more social / cultural oriented - used to be southern conservatives were democrats . They were democrats - and supported those economic policies which favored workers over corporations - but they drew the line on those cultural values - which essentially was race - now it is that and homosexuality - those things - tend to override any rational decision making one might be able to do - that in a nutshell is how we got this way
the radical FAR left embedded itself into the Dem Party 1968 Chicago convention. Over the decades they moved row by row from the back of the bus to the drivers seat. Also LBJ showered black communities with boatloads of money that never got to them as planned.
Republicans passed the Civil Rights legislature, not the democrats who voted overwhelmingly No. Wikipedia the house and Senate votes for each party and the truth is glaringly obvious. And no, there wasn't a large reshuffling of the parties, the democrats are still as racist today as back then. Even Biden gave Robert Byrd's(triple K wizard) eulogy in 2010.
@@pjpredhomme7699 I hope you know that nothing you wrote contradicts the original comment.
Can any of you list all of the Democrats that shifted to Republican during the 60’s? People keep saying this happened to convince themselves the Dems are not the racists but they don’t list the names to prove this. It’s only been a few, which last I checked, is not the whole party.
It's certain that this year will bring more challenges. Looking back, I realized that I spent the entire previous year making expensive financial blunders because I was so consumed with worrying about my portfolio. I was forced to decide between raising my investments and purchasing a home. I discovered that the property I had bought needed more work than I had anticipated after deciding to sell my investments. It's becoming more difficult to determine how much longer I can take this.
Take things easy, we've all made mistakes
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2022 to enhance my portfolio, and in the last ten months, I've made profits in over fifty thousand different marketplaces. Should 2023 teach us anything, it's that luck doesn't last forever. Even in times of abundance, we should put in more effort to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

Got it. Thank you so much for this useful information.
Thank you Peter for this broad assessment of how U.S. politics is changing. As a Brit I often find it bewildering trying to understand the undercurrents driving this and link that with what I see happening at the geopolitical and global macro economic level. Whilst I think there’s much more to current US political and social divisions, the awful attempt on Trump’s life, this was a thought provoking post. It’ll be very interesting to see how the U.S. alliance with Europe will change in particular vis a vis Europe’s support for Ukraine and our own security interests.
I’m particularly interested to hear what Peter has to say about this since he’s the only person I know in the CIA

yeah - what you say makes sense - I think he talks in macro trends - and tries to handicap who is following those trends and can better position themselves to maximize advantage much more so than what Americans want - which is their guy to win- because that is really what it has come to - myself included .
No, he's done this on many lectures and interviews on YT without anyone prompting him for it. He's quite full of himself.
Who's forcing him?
Good response, and I think you're right, his big picture long term thinking seems (to me) to have some legs and that's what I come for, his closer range view not so much .. maybe he needs glasses to help his focus on the short range, though I'm not sure lenses can do much to correct for personal bias 😉
Did the security services shout ‘Donald duck’?
ha ha
You just won the internet today.
🤣
With Biden it's "Daffy Duck"
That's a good one, hope disney doesn't post copyright.

I am so, so tired of hearing Americans complain about the ‘’cost’’ and how unfair it is that they have to be the world police. Do Americans not realize that most of these wars and military deployments are made to serve their economic interests, to weaken their political rivals, to protect their trade routes, to fuel their military industry? Are Americans so self-centered that they can’t see the privilege and position that has given them over the rest of the world? Sure the rest of NATO and other allies often gets the runoff benefits, but what about the disastrous conflicts we’ve been roped into for America’s sake? I guess those conflicts don’t matter, but as soon a we get one war as in Ukraine that is more important to Europe than it is to the US, then it’s an outrage and people want to go straight back to isolation. American entitlement and arrogance truly knows no bounds.
Terrible analysis of this situation.
Or you could go the Australian way and be stuck with voting on party lines and your representative votes as the party wants, not what the voters want. Be care not to think the grass is greener over the fence . Respect from Australia .
Peter not right
People vote republic or democrat. Not the candidate.
That is true.
Political coalitions in the United States tend to dominate political parties for decades. But eventually those coalitions can shake political parties to their foundations, and that is happening now in the United States.
I've always found parliamentary systems to be appealing, but in the United States we have adapted to change for more than a couple of hundred years. And counting.
So far, so good.
America is the exact same way, Peter likes to think and say it isn’t, but it is.
Ditto in Canada, Sir
@@Cmshot1
All countries have their challenges, and the United States and Canada are part of that reality.
What part of Canada do you live in? And how do you see issues that might result in the dissolution of Canada? Economic issues with Alberta, cultural issues with the French in Quebec, Indian tribes anxious to grab all they can -----lots of things can damage Canada in the coming decades.
On the other hand, Canada reached compromises with Quebec that blunted secession and strengthened Canadian unity at some cost. Indian tribes are (at least in the United States) mainly interested in being BOUGHT OFF by government.
The United States has no interest in Canada breaking up --- a considerable strength for Canada.
So Canada has both strengths and weaknesses, as I see it.
In what areas above am I mistaken? And how do you assess Canada's strengths and weaknesses?
Crap. I liked Zeihan, but i can no longer see him as an unbiased source of information anymore. "injured lightly"? Sure, he will survive. He only had a bullet fly through his ear because at the very last moment, he turned his head. Why did this happen? You are not going to mention the rhetoric that was used by many major news sources that might have inspired this? Agree with trump or not, but conservatives have been crying out about the possibility of an assassination attempt since they tried to strip him of his security detail. Seems like Zeihan felt like he had to way in on this but didnt have anything of value to say because of his clear biases.
Australia news " reporter - Who will win?
Zeihan - Biden by a landslide"
I love you bro, I just do not trust your predictions.😅😅😅
I think he was a Kiwi actually!
Trump/Biden 2020 and 2024 has been a big blind spot for him. He's a left leaning "independent" who's probably never voted for a Republican. IMHO he understands the trends, supply chains, demographics, and global geopolitics much more than the specific people at the "peak" of the "wave."
i wouldnt underestimate the power of mail in ballots
Trump can win and still lose. I hear the "extra" ballots being printed in China now, financed by Mark Zuckerberg, et al.
Why do you "love" him? 🤔 He's a snobby, condescending prick who at this point, clearly sucks at his job. The fanboying is so bizzare
Peter, PA is a closed primary state. There was a Dem campaign to have party member register as R to vote for Nikki Haley, that could be the reason the shooter was a registered R and contributed to D
he registered republican at the end of 2021, long before the primary season. and his $15 contribution to democrats was to some generic voter registration group. he may not have even been aware it was a democrat group.
@@rabidgoonthat’s conjecture and probably not true
@@HankSemoreButz it's also 'conjecture' and 'probably not true' to assert without evidence that he switched his registration to vote against trump in the primary. but you don't seem to have an issue with that.
@@rabidgoon that’s because I’m using Occam’s razor…
@@HankSemoreButz Based on the known facts, what bases do you have for determining that it is "probably not true?"
So the media and Joe Biden didn’t call Donald Trump a threat to our democracy about a million times over the past year? I kinda figured that may have had something to do with it…
I supposed comparing him to Hitler didn’t give this dude a nudge either
While not all conservatives are nut jobs, Conservative nut jobs listen to Alex Jones and Fuentes. I suggest you go listen to what they have been saying about Trump lately.
@@keeldemall yes we conservatives are so crazy that we allow men into our daughters bathrooms and support a man who just signed an executive order so that more men can take advantage of title 9 at the expense if our daughters. 🤪
Please don’t mention the father who was killed , means nothing of you😢😢
as usual, waffling waffle
20 yr old kids do not have the knowledge to think that deeply
Rumor has it he was upset about the Epstein connection.
No you got it wrong. He reacting to change. That is what upsetting him and believe me there is a lot guys just like him.
Peter has a 100% success rate with his predictions. They are 100% wrong.
Keep watching!
A statement unsupported by any examples, never mind evidence. Typical Republican opinion masquerading as fact.
@@ScooterOnHisWay2024 I will for the entertainment value. LOL!
Plus he is an autocrat as he is deleting all my comments if I disagree with him
Also, what Peter forgot to mention is that 65 Million Years ago there a was a Tyrannosaur on Pangaea named Rex...
He was a Democrat who registered as a Republican so he could vote in the Pennsylvania Republican primary against Trump. Pennsylvania has closed primaries.
Yeah. Lol his family and friends all said he was a very strong republican. Stfu with your everything Is a conspiracy BS😂
BS
He registered early in Biden's term, very long before primaries. You sure? No.
Sounds like Donald, was a Democrat....
And he still believes he is an independent...
You do realize you can be an independent and refuse to want to vote for trump right?
Dude is agressively independent. If you think differently you are highly bias from one side or the other
Isn't everyone these days?
@@lucaschaves8308come back and tell me how he is aggressively independent after you read all of his books, where in in the prefaces of each one he acknowledges himself as a small democrat voter. Or that in his video after the debate he would still vote for Biden over Trump no matter the cost. At no point has this been ever hinted at being independent, only that he doesn’t like either party much, which means jackshit if that’s your evidence for being independent.
@@user-ep3zt9bn2y I only read his last book, the end of the world is just beginning and even in there he is agressively independent too. His stance on the whole cultural war is destain because that doesn't matter to him and his political views seems to be economical first to last which makes clear that he thinks both candidates are absolutely bottom of the barril awful. That makes him very independent
To paraphrase this grifter: Uh world is changing and uh that means things happen.
You predicted many times there is no chance trump beats Biden with a smirk on your face lol😂
And many of his analyses are soooo skewed too
Yeah, I don't think Peter likes to be WRONG.
It must be all that existential threat to democracy talk Peter , right ?
Wonder if Peter still thinks dems are going to win with a landslide. 😂
trump is still trump.... Project 2025 has been outed... The violent rhetoric of republicans is even worse... Nothing has changed in trump's favor.
He didn't say
I suspect there will be a video soon.
Democrats can beat Trump . However trump will beat biden.
Last week Obama and the New York Times were waging an INSURRECTION against Biden, and people were saying they were BOUND to force Biden out. Remember George Clooney?
This week, not a PEEP!
Predictions are hard, especially about the future.
Still, if you can merely understand the fundamental truth about what is going on, without all the spin, you will be doing pretty good.
And if they do are you going to cry “voter fraud?”
I don't know. Probably a year ago or so I said to my mom that I felt like we were going back to the '80s because of the way things were going with inflation and all the other things prior to then. Ironically, that was also the last time we had an assassination attempt.
@WSKRBSCT Because the Democratic Party was in power at the late 70’s. Poor economic decisions.
@@MasterMalrubiusExactly. This is not the 1980s burn rather more like 1979.
I know what you are saying. It feels like I am watching this on an old CRT TV
Biden shares some of Carters failed economic policies
@@MasterMalrubius Stagflation began in the early 70s, under Nixon. You know, "Nixon Shock?" He was a Republican, btw.
"Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans."
I was hoping to hear something new and interesting here, but no, Peter is just repeating same story as in majority of his other videos. BORING.
When your title is better than your content
TDS is still strong with this one 😊
Peter using his serious voice today.
Wow. That has to be one of the most far-fetched explanations I've ever heard.
It doesn't look like you're in the Ozarks. looks more like a TV screen behind you.
I know right, was about to say the same 😅
bug screen?
Green screen w/ projected background. Pete has been watching too much CNN.
Literally a screen lol
That's what I was going to say, a bug screen@@jonathancrawford7106
0:19 it tells us you have ignored the D campaign to register as R and vote for Nikki Haley to primary Trump.
Did that campaign start in 2022 when the shooter registered as a Republican?
His bias on display almost daily now
@@blueskies5588bro you’re terminally online stop and go touch grass
I love conspiracy theorists :-D they always make me laugh ... according to various polls, Haley/Desantis would do better in the GE against Biden than Trump so if anything Democrats ( at least the smart ones ) were rooting for Trump to win.
@@Brockliynah, on this he is right. Zeihan hates Trump and has never been shy of it in all of his hundreds of ducomented online hours whenever maga gets mentioned. Generally when Zeihan and the Ruse of the Right (be it Trump or otherwise) he is constantly dealing with it as a massive blind spot. The fact that he actually argued the right is rising in Europe he attributed it to the growing “OLD PEOPLE” in Europe, rather than fucking migration.
Oh my favorite headline today. “The market up 200 pts on Trump failed assignation attempt.’ From CNBC. What a joke.
We will know in November who the true majority is in America.
We vote to discover what the majority view of where the Nation wants to go.
The problem is we have segments in society who really don't respect voting
and the outcomes of the nations voice.
The democrats don’t respect elections. The republicans don’t respect fake voting ballots.
Word Salad
Very interesting analysis in backing away from the noise and looking at the larger context of history. Excellent as always, a good day to you kind sir.
Wow! Someone in the comments section who actually understands contextualization. It's a shame surface level insult comments have hundreds of likes but one like yours has none.
@stephengrinkley9889 Peter repeated here what he's been saying for years. The video was titled to imply he would speak on the assassination, but instead repeated things like, "You can't have consumption without production" and other irrelevant things. If he named the video differently you wouldn't be seeing these comments.
@@SignalLost730 Well if you have been watching Peter Zeihan for years you should know that what he does is he takes an event and explains in his opinion what it means in a geopolitical context. We already know that there was an attempt on Trump a couple days ago, and we know of the suspect. Everything else is speculation and conspiracy based on the fact that there's an ongoing investigation and we don't know much else. If you want more of that there are plenty of other channels.
Nah, he doesn't want to admit he is wrong in his doomer thesis of the world.
'If you find yourself explaining, you're losing."
In the era of online conspiracy theorists, Peter is a gem
You forgot the 60's man, the Viert Nam war and MLK.
Total novis from Sweden who have followed you for some time. Really like your videos. Short,sharp and spot on if you ask me👍
Peter, you should consider sticking to your knitting.

"likely an assassination attempt" lol oh really?
Way to down play it Peter.

He said he was likely injured - in an assassination attempt. Try hold your bias back a bit 😂
