Not only mental ability ... but also, MOST of all which matters is that which any politician considers important and beneficial for the nation at large. Joe Biden has ZERO mental ability. And now ... examine the sorts of people who actually put idiot Joe in his post. Moreover, examine how Biden destroys the nation rather than preserving it and building UP the nation.

I don't think that was unintentional. That's just his sense of humor. He has a brilliant sense of humor. His eyes, his hair, and his humor are his best qualities.
I’m not pissed off as much as disappointed. Been listening to this guy all week after someone showed him to me, trying to get a feel for whether he knows his stuff and this is the nail in the coffin of him being full of it. I’m not well read on a lot that he talks about but I noticed whenever he does delve into something I’m familiar with he gets important details all wrong. Him saying Bernie’s ideas are “kind of crazy” when Bernie’s policy proposals are basically a clone of what most Western European nations already have in place demonstrates he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That along with the many predictions he confidently makes, as if they’re fate, which turn out to be way off the mark. Like him claiming Bernie would run for president again… anyone who really follows politics would have known Bernie wouldn’t run again based on his ideology of stopping Trump and his numerous previous statements to that effect. Zeihan also said a year ago that Apple wouldn’t be able to manufacture any more iPhones because of the lockdowns in China… said things indicating he doesn’t understand the difference between ICBMs and hypersonic missiles, said trade only accounts for 12% of the US GDP when its actually more like twice that, etc. He makes many compelling predictions that have huge implications if true, and says them with supreme confidence, but at the end of the day he usually ends up underestimating the resilience of people and societies and doesn’t really have the evidence to back up his assertions. He’s interesting to listen to, I’ll give him that, but at the end of the day he appears to be just another doomsaying grifter that lacks a track record of being correct in his assessments.
@@mrjpb23 What Zeihan also doesn't understand, is that independent voters didn't decide the 2020, or 2022 {midterm} elections. The 2020 election was crudely "fixed", using voting machines {to manipulate}, blank paper ballots { mail in}, with no real signature or way of confirming the identity of the voter, and out and out fraudulent counting of ballots by criminal poll workers in the swing states. The 2022 corruption was much better organized, and less obvious { except to people of low intelligence}, with two full years to prepare. The 2024 election, is "the end of the line". The result will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will survive, or if communism will be the destiny of a once great nation.
Term limits are a conservative con! Term limits only empowers big money & the lobbyists they buy. It takes away the power of the people's vote and gives it to the oligarchs and big money corporations 😢
"45% of the country is on the Left. 45% of the country is on the Right. 10% of the country doesn't know which planet they live on, and that's who decides elections." The Late Dr. Charles Krauthammer.
Nah, the US had roughly 60-65% election turnout in 2020 but historically its lower than that.50-60% So 25-30% of the population vote Dem or Rep, which leaves us with 50-40% of the US population as non voters/swing voters/independant or undecided. Thats a HUGE block.
None of the USA is on the left. For example the Democrats are comparable with the left wing of the UK Conservatives. Although they do like to interact with the Labour party, especially when both are in opposition, they are not anywhere near aligned. So the USA's 'left' is right of centre of that of the UK. The USAs' Republicans are comparable to the most right of the Conservatives and overlapping with the likes of Farage. And thats comparing to a right leaning country. Compare 'left' of the USA with the left of, say, France, for maximum giggles.
I’d say it goes the other way these days. Those who identify on left or right don’t know what planet they’re on. The 10% are in the middle who are still people who think for themselves
@@CptApplestrudl Agree at the modern left/right numbers you show, but your 50-40% for swing voters is way off. It is really more like 10% of swing voters deciding everything and the remaining percent doesn't turn out or doesn't even register.
Unless our voting machines secured and we go back to a fill in the bubble ballot. If we did this, then the ballots don't have to be handled so much and all the ballots are counted in a day or two instead of weeks. One day to vote, just have more places to vote. And no mail ballots unless requested. If the vote is not secured, we will have another fraudulent outcome!!
kimmartin, have you ever "signed" your ballot? No! Have you "signed" an envelope that has your ballot in it? Yes! So, did your vote count? Absolutely NOT! Why? Your envelope was "proof" of your vote, but your ballot was tossed and replaced with the one they want. See? There is no voting in America, it is just a fake election. There is a "uni-party" where "they" put in who "they" want for "their" agenda. "We the Sheople" just keep saying, "Baaahhh, baaahhhh, bahhhhh" all day long.
Especially given today's dire geopolitical situation. Our adversaries are going to go as far as they can as long as we have a weak leader like Biden in the WH. They will become bolder the closer we get to the election.
You are so right and the economy getting much worse is one of those things and I don't see the economy getting anything but much worse . If it gets as bad as I think it is going to get there is no way in hell that Biden gets voted back in.
I really appreciate the way you throw out the cult of personality and the political zealotry when you do an assessment. Thanks for what you're doing, Peter!
Did you like how he DIDN'T throw out the obvious Cognitive Decline of Fedderman & Joe? But yet, Trump voters are cultists, & you like that he called that out? 👍
Except he didn't say Biden also has a cult follwing lol. This guy is a USA loving machine, but he doesn't love the freedom part of the country. he likes the ones right now that is destroying the economy.
I can’t stand the Bernie cult, but I don’t think there are many of them. His economic policies would be disastrous if they were implemented, but I don’t think they can be effectively put into practice. Bernie would need a Congress just as radical as he is, so to get anything passed he would have to water down his proposals. My opinion: we could survive Bernie, the “Democratic Party Trump”. So I guess I’m going to vote for Biden. What a weird state of affairs. I voted for GOP presidential candidates for 24 years before Trump and was locally active in the GOP for most of the same period (probably longer because I was a big Reagan fan before I could even vote).
Since I have to pick one of these old fuckers, I’ll take the one that didn’t incriminate himself in a sexual assault deposition. That’s a pretty easy choice. If they both suck, always go with the one who doesn’t have multiple rape accusations/sexual assault conviction as a rule of thumb.
I liked how he led off with the Bernie Cult before flipping it back on the Trumpers. The Bernie cult is your garden variety cult-of-personality. The Trump cult is way weirder. Wayyyyy weirder. Like mentally ill weird.

Because right now what it sounds like is you were hoping he would say that Trump would win, and when he didn’t, you started having flashbacks about when your uncle took you into the closet. probably because you felt the same amount of betrayal.
I'm a time traveler too. Just remember not to let anyone know that Kanye West wins. That could cause all sorts of time paradoxes. So keep it hush hush.
The real danger is when younger candidates don't even want to run except to become part of the system and get rich. People will stop caring about the country at that point.
He's an improvement in some ways and an impedement in others, he used to be more centrist but the way he kept taking shots over bullshit seems to have radicalised him and his base into full blown paranoia, thanks to the media industry.
Don't forget, he was president while the country burned and released drug dealers and killers. He did nothing for all the idiots he gassed up to go into the capital on j6 but held fund raisers for his own lawsuits and criminal defense.
I think this format of starting a convo in one place and finishing it in a different place, esp when the backgrounds contrast so much, and having to pick the convo back up is cool.
How is that different from any other successful POTUS running for reelection (without their opponents conspiring with terrorists to keep Americans captive longer)?
Probably the most level-headed take on how the 2024 election will shape out. How it was made long before how we're seeing things shape out is impressive.
Hi Peter, love your work ! I am an xpat yank from Maine with much experience in the back country of NZ. I have been here for 30 years. Please take care in backpacking. The wild places in NZ are extremely unforgiving to those who come unprepared. Take local advice very seriously and keep a close eye on the ever-changing weather.

@@fjuvo I'm so glad that you're so psychic to know what's in other people's minds or what they want or don't want to do. Perhaps you can tell me what the temperature is going to be in about a year. When it comes to "bread and butter" issues, that's when it gets interesting because people vote with their wallets. In regards to Trump, many legal experts, including many that are Liberal Democrats (including Alan Dershowitz) feel that the charge against the former President won't stand up. Even if he's convicted, they saying that they'll be overturned on Appeal. Even Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg didn't want to prosecute the Case (though he ran for the Office of Manhattan District Attorney saying that he would). He relented only after being pressured by his political base. I would also point out that Democrats have crossed a point that ANY politician (Republican or Democrat) will be "Open Season" for ANY CHARGE! Even if the Statute of Limitations have run out. A "Pandora's Box" has been opened that shouldn't have been opened.
If the republicans use the election fraud strategy for the general election, they'll have a tough fight on their hands. If the Representative and Senate candidates step up and say election fraud is not an issue they have a chance. They might have to come on out and say there was no fraud, but that depends on how hard Trump goes in the other direction.
Biden's popularity could go up or could go down (basically tracking the economy). I don't think anyone's opinion on Trump is going to change upwards at this stage. So it's a fair prediction assuming these two are the nominees. But in 2 years, lots of things can happen to old men under massive legal and press scrutiny in a country full of crazy people with guns.
It's a lot easier when it's the same two guys running against each other who are basically the same age, and have the same experience as president. Trump can't win because of his age. Who whole brand is having his finger on the pulse of younger people and he's already lost that.
I agree. Wait til next year! With that said, he did predict Russia will start a war 5 years ago (bc of their population problem) in a old presentation he made to a crowd of ppl.
He is right about no Republican president but not because of his reasoning. He failed to get to the root cause which is the swing states AZ, MI, PA, WI all have Democrat governors and GA may go left too. Socialism is not going to be good for the USA.
@@caseynguyen9706 He made that prediction far earlier than 5 years ago. He's got a valid point about Trump's cult of personality. We'll just have to see how the GOP primary goes.
Fascinating take. This take tells me that if the 2024 presidential race is already locked in, then the real battle is at the state level going forward. thank you
I agree. Vote for the person who will help the country the most. So much time and money is waisted on the battles between the 2 parties over things that don't effect us in any way. Ramp up production, put people to work, lift restrictions on manufacturing and resource harvesting in our county. keep our country strong, protect our citizens and be companionate to those who are less fortunate. Stop getting into conflicts with other countries and save our military might for when it's actually needed. Don't keep raising taxes just to keep lobbyist happy or to study how cocaine effects the mating habits of birds. We need someone strong and willing to correct all the bad. It's certainly not working out to good right now.
@@Grantmadeachannel IDK about that. I believe the more you understand the more you believe. Atleast if we are level headed and try to keep you emotions some what under control. Now if one is completely controlled by emotion then in that case you might be correct.

Regardless of party....Voting for any of these career politicians is like going to the beach and choosing which shark gets the privilege of chewing your legs off. No one wins except the politicians.
Trump has only run for 1 political office and 1 re election. How has that 1 political ambition put him in the "career politicians" category? I will answer the question. It doesn't, because he is not and you are wrong.
@@igoski1582he’s been involved with politics, politicians and talking about running since the 80’s. None of this is new to him, he was just ‘practicing’ for 30 years before jumping in. He’s more of a politician than many ‘career’ politicians.
The only extreme major party nominee in 150 years was trump in 2020. In 2016, he was mostly unknown (we weren't choosing crazy, we were choosing 1. not black, 2. not woman). Nothing extreme about Biden. Nothing extreme about Obama (except his race). Bush 2 was not smart (a reformed frat boy), but also not extreme. Clinton was about being popular, not extreme (remember "triangulation"?). Bush 1 not extreme. Reagan made a few rare extreme choices (arms for hostages, Nicaragua), but was not extreme. Nothing extreme about Jimmy Carter (except his decency). Ford, no. Nixon has some spots, like Reagan. Politics has gone extreme, but not prez nominees.
Only because you are blinded by the media you chose. If you look at the policies, they are different. Peter's pov on Trumps Twitter and turning it to policy is sorta right... We need huge tarrifs and close the border fentanol and immigration. Which is Trumps Twitter and not the current guy policy. Peter is blind.

Trump is a blowhole, but he did nothing compared to the past 2 administration's.
In Illinois anyone can vote for either party in the primaries. Not true in states like Pennsylvania where you have to be registered as a Republican or Democrat to vote in the primaries. That leads to candidates who are too far right and too far left.
Z doesn’t do research… He reads a newspaper at best. You can tell by the way he talks, as if every thing out of his mouth is a matter of fact. You might just assume he does research because of how sure he is of everything he says. Those skilled at the higher levels to read people can see it plain as day. Personally I think he’s cashing in right now as much as possible so he can retire.. As if he doesn’t care if he’s wrong. Just watch him and his body language when he was on Rogan. Something ain’t right.
Reminds me of another Democrat who was also a racist. Woodrow Wilson in 1916 campaigned on the fact he had not yet got us into the war in Europe that had been raging two years. "He's kept us out of the war!" The problem was he was not entirely sure he could carry on keeping us out of it.
This is why ballots need a “none of the above” option. If that gets the most votes then no one wins and the parties have to choose new candidates for a re-vote.
That scenario has been explored by the Nobel prize winner portuguese author José Saramago in his novel Seeing, the sequel to the his previous novel Blindness. Blindness is about the social and governmental responses of an allegorical global pandemic of blindness, which leads to civilizational collapse and exposes our society's proneness to systemic failure. The protagonist is a woman who is the only one immune to this blindness, as she goes through the horrors having to pretend she is blind, to avoid being exploitdd. Seeing is the sequel, which explores a society that, having regained vision, votes blank on new elections, leading to a radical political crises, now intentionally provoked by the will of the people.
This attitude that we are not completely responsible every every last candidate we currently see is rediculous to me. Human beings are not reasonable creatures, we will not choose the the most reasonable candidate (most of our history especially recently). The pendulum swings wildly.
@@christopherhawthorne5395 Unfortunately there is no shortage of PR firms and even companies like Team Jorge aimed at distorting public perception of political affairs, not to mention foreign interference on campaigns with the aim of sabotaging electoral results. Contrast the weight of those influences with the lack early educational efforts to promote awareness of what healthy, sober discussion of policy looks like, and you'll have a very depressing picture of the state of our democracies. Even the candidates that make it to the presidentials or to any kind of political prominence tend to be internally selected based on image or mediatic potential, not just on expertise or on their vision.

You are 100% correct. This supreme court has allowed these unlimited super-pacs to legally bribe our representatives. We need to replace the current corrupt court (Thomas).

He said at the end that he would be "doing a lot of deep-dive stuff" from NZ, which I took to mean that he would still be posting videos, just not on the latest of the latest current events.. But he also said he would see us at the end of his trip, which sounds like no videos. I'm hoping there will be videos on deep-dive stuff, by which he seems to mean deeper, more general topics rather than today's latest topics.

Hi. For the past couple of months, I've been following your videos and your 'globe hopping' venues. I have also sent the videos to a number of 'interested parties' saying 'When Peter talks, I listen...' I'm listening now too...I'm a retired American educator, living in very rural western Turkey... globally, politics these days, scares the stuffin' out of me! Thanks for your point of view....Have a great time in NZ...If I could, I'd live there, earthquakes and all...stay safe.
Thanks George. Luckily, I left the US before education took a nosedive. I retired from Turkey not the US. Not that things are better here educationally. My objective wasn't to 'teach English'....I used English as the medium to help kids learn how to think and be creative. Enjoyed doing it before leaving academe and entering the private sector.
@@arcar66 good for you! I'm actually a russian national. I left my home country due to obvious reasons and am currently living in Turkey but to be honest i'd rather live in the US (this is my long term goal), i dont think there's anything better in this world than life in rural US, if you have money.
his takes are fascinating. But i feel a topic he has avoided talking about is about the whole Social Justice thing the Left is promoting. The ones that are the most affected by this are the younger generations. And i do believe that Zeihan, as a demographic expert, should actually talk about the consequences of this whole ideology. In my opinion, enforcing things never works out. So its causing the younger generations to be far more divided on ideologies, which is bound to cause a lot of problems once those younger generations take over the labor force as ideological policies could derail the USA's Economy into a downward spiral.
@@vossli1074 that's just the most minor of the stuff they are promoting. We all want free health care.. It may be free but it won't be quality.

Yes, you are right about the mid terms. However, A lot has happened since the midterms from an economic standpoint. So, feelings might not be the same. Speaking for myself, I'm tired of my income shrinking on a daily basis. I will be voting on the basis of the economy alone. If the economy crumbles, how will anything else matter.
Why do you think the economy is crumbling? A President really can’t control prices. If you think they are too high, talk to the companies who keep the prices high. That’s what capitalism does. Wages are going up, unemployment is going down, stock market is up. Sounds like a good economy to me.
I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours. Vote for whom ever you want. That is what I plan to do. I'm not trying to influence anyone. You can not spend more than you make which is exactly what the government is doing. That strategy has never worked at my house, but maybe you have some magic formula that I don't know about.
@@sylviashanabrough6515 the government has spent more than comes in for aeons. This is not a new policy and it will not be changed anytime soon. Deficit-spending is the name of the game. We all learned long ago that the government can do things that we mere mortals cannot do in real life.
Amazes me that of all the brilliant people out there these are the only choices we have for the President of this country. It’s a damn shame that greed rules everything.
yeah , health care for ALL does not make any sense. canada and UK and pretty much all other industrial nations, they all don't know how to do MATH. but oh Americans, they know how to do MATH ,and Geography , thats for sure.
The lack of choices is an indication of the weakness of both parties. The open primary system wrecked the power of the parties to find and groom people who would be loyal to the party. Now the candidates for any office are all independent contractors. AOC got into Congress in spite of the Democratic Party, not because of it. She was picked by an organization that had money and means and she won the seat. She'll probably be there until she's Nancy Pelosi's age.
Are you kidding? Biden has been the best President for America since Roosevelt. He coordinated & implemented the end to Covid-19, he's clawing back inflation, he got our gas prices to drop back to pre-covid prices, he has the lowest unemployment rate in the past 60 years, he actively supports Unions, AND he's fighting a proxy war with America's greatest historical enemy, the Russians.
Things would be different if everyone were as insightful as Eric Whittington. It must be such a burden for you to understand society so much better than everyone else.

We seriously need an age limit on president's and congressmen and senators. Because it's ridiculous you've got these 80 and 90 year olds in there because all they're doing is keeping the status quo when quite frankly a lot of things need to change.

Oh man. I like Bernie Sanders and Peter Zeihan xD Maybe we couldn't have -every- progressive policy, but I don't understand why we couldn't have a slice of them and move our country back towards the New Deal era where corporations were paying almost 90% tax rates and the middle class was at one of its strongest points in American history
Nobody pays 90% tax. They just announce it to the plebs for political clout, "Look, people, we tax corporations 90%, we're as socially just as the commies" but then the accounting kicks in and the resulting actual tax payments are much lower. The top earners are paying the majority of taxes collected today and 5 and 10 years ago, so i dont see what's the problem with taxes, how can anyone call the current tax rates unfair.
You don’t care about politics but politics cares about you. “Put not your faith in princes”. Trump doesn’t have a trans lover but he does have a hot wife. I’ll vote for anyone who isn’t a Democrat. ANYONE.

Oh, I should correct myself. Rich young people don't flunk out. They gracefully withdraw because Daddy pays off their university bills and pays for them to again gracefully withdraw from yet another science program. Only unfortunate poor kids flunk out, which is why our kakistocracy tells them they are so privileged.

I’m not pissed off as much as disappointed. Been listening to this guy all week after someone showed him to me, trying to get a feel for whether he knows his stuff and this is the nail in the coffin of him being full of it. I’m not well read on a lot that he talks about but I noticed whenever he does delve into something I’m familiar with he gets important details all wrong. Him saying Bernie’s ideas are “kind of crazy” when Bernie’s policy proposals are basically a clone of what most Western European nations already have in place demonstrates he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
That along with the many predictions he confidently makes, as if they’re fate, which turn out to be way off the mark. Like him claiming Bernie would run for president again… anyone who really follows politics would have known Bernie wouldn’t run again based on his ideology of stopping Trump and his numerous previous statements to that effect. Zeihan also said a year ago that Apple wouldn’t be able to manufacture any more iPhones because of the lockdowns in China… said things indicating he doesn’t understand the difference between ICBMs and hypersonic missiles, said trade only accounts for 12% of the US GDP when its actually more like twice that, etc.
He makes many compelling predictions that have huge implications if true, and says them with supreme confidence, but at the end of the day he usually ends up underestimating the resilience of people and societies and doesn’t really have the evidence to back up his assertions. He’s interesting to listen to, I’ll give him that, but at the end of the day he appears to be just another doomsaying grifter that lacks a track record of being correct in his assessments.
@@mrjpb23 What Zeihan also doesn't understand, is that independent voters didn't decide the 2020, or 2022 {midterm} elections. The 2020 election was crudely "fixed", using voting machines {to manipulate}, blank paper ballots { mail in}, with no real signature or way of confirming the identity of the voter, and out and out fraudulent counting of ballots by criminal poll workers in the swing states. The 2022 corruption was much better organized, and less obvious { except to people of low intelligence}, with two full years to prepare. The 2024 election, is "the end of the line". The result will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will survive, or if communism will be the destiny of a once great nation.

Nah, the US had roughly 60-65% election turnout in 2020 but historically its lower than that.50-60%
So 25-30% of the population vote Dem or Rep, which leaves us with 50-40% of the US population as non voters/swing voters/independant or undecided. Thats a HUGE block.
None of the USA is on the left. For example the Democrats are comparable with the left wing of the UK Conservatives. Although they do like to interact with the Labour party, especially when both are in opposition, they are not anywhere near aligned. So the USA's 'left' is right of centre of that of the UK. The USAs' Republicans are comparable to the most right of the Conservatives and overlapping with the likes of Farage. And thats comparing to a right leaning country. Compare 'left' of the USA with the left of, say, France, for maximum giggles.

Unless our voting machines secured and we go back to a fill in the bubble ballot.

I can’t stand the Bernie cult, but I don’t think there are many of them. His economic policies would be disastrous if they were implemented, but I don’t think they can be effectively put into practice. Bernie would need a Congress just as radical as he is, so to get anything passed he would have to water down his proposals. My opinion: we could survive Bernie, the “Democratic Party Trump”.

Elections have rarely gone the way they are predicted 18+ months ahead of time.
Even a week ahead of time let alone 18+ months.
they can predict who wins the popular vote, but have trouble taking the electoral system into account.
If the republicans use the election fraud strategy for the general election, they'll have a tough fight on their hands. If the Representative and Senate candidates step up and say election fraud is not an issue they have a chance. They might have to come on out and say there was no fraud, but that depends on how hard Trump goes in the other direction.
Biden's popularity could go up or could go down (basically tracking the economy). I don't think anyone's opinion on Trump is going to change upwards at this stage. So it's a fair prediction assuming these two are the nominees. But in 2 years, lots of things can happen to old men under massive legal and press scrutiny in a country full of crazy people with guns.
It's a lot easier when it's the same two guys running against each other who are basically the same age, and have the same experience as president. Trump can't win because of his age. Who whole brand is having his finger on the pulse of younger people and he's already lost that.

Blindness is about the social and governmental responses of an allegorical global pandemic of blindness, which leads to civilizational collapse and exposes our society's proneness to systemic failure. The protagonist is a woman who is the only one immune to this blindness, as she goes through the horrors having to pretend she is blind, to avoid being exploitdd. Seeing is the sequel, which explores a society that, having regained vision, votes blank on new elections, leading to a radical political crises, now intentionally provoked by the will of the people.
This attitude that we are not completely responsible every every last candidate we currently see is rediculous to me. Human beings are not reasonable creatures, we will not choose the the most reasonable candidate (most of our history especially recently). The pendulum swings wildly.
They do. Submit a blank ballot or skip any choices
@@christopherhawthorne5395 Unfortunately there is no shortage of PR firms and even companies like Team Jorge aimed at distorting public perception of political affairs, not to mention foreign interference on campaigns with the aim of sabotaging electoral results. Contrast the weight of those influences with the lack early educational efforts to promote awareness of what healthy, sober discussion of policy looks like, and you'll have a very depressing picture of the state of our democracies. Even the candidates that make it to the presidentials or to any kind of political prominence tend to be internally selected based on image or mediatic potential, not just on expertise or on their vision.
Wouldn't it be better to overhaul the system in order to shift to a multi-party system rather then have just two parties?
Mr Zeihan I watch all your videos on world and domestic current events.I enjoy all your video and am amazed at the amount of knowledge u possess.I have always been interested in geo political science and I eagerly await your shows.I use the information you pass on to me in my heated debates with friends at our weekly Saturday nite get togethers.I sound so informed when I argue my points !! Thanks 👍🙂
Why is there the same.e story behind all these ads
It doesn't matter who wins. Corporate power and greed has them all by the balls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ SO TRUE ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are 100% correct. This supreme court has allowed these unlimited super-pacs to legally bribe our representatives. We need to replace the current corrupt court (Thomas). If Trump is pres, he will nominate more of the same. If some guy buys your momas house, fixes it up, then charges moma $0 to keep living there, and then pays for your vacation on a private yacht, you MUST recurse yourself from any cases that involve that guy.
My biggest take away from this is i wish i had, “take a vacation for 3 or 4 weeks” money
That’s the most outlandish part of this whole video. Having a vacation that long.

SO I GUESS YOU DONT WANT THE 3.7 PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE OVER 8 MILLION JOBS NOW GOING BEGGING FOR WORKERS ALL DUE TO EXCELLENT POLICIES OF BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, SAD, VERY SAD,
What i love about Peter’s videos is that he is the ultimate devil’s advocate. He has helped me grow by challenging my own feelings and opinions. Thank you for making me think about a different way to consider politics on a global platform.. Enjoy your vacation!
Nice same. I’m assuming you are much more conservative leaning?
I hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful little Paradise Peter Zeihan. Always look forward to your insight into the world economic/politics and current events.

I think he has already been gone for about a week.
He's been in NZ for a bit now. Already released videos FROM there...
NZ also has internet. Just sayin....
He said at the end that he would be "doing a lot of deep-dive stuff" from NZ, which I took to mean that he would still be posting videos, just not on the latest of the latest current events.. But he also said he would see us at the end of his trip, which sounds like no videos.
I'm hoping there will be videos on deep-dive stuff, by which he seems to mean deeper, more general topics rather than today's latest topics.
Man, the next election is going to be a crazy one.

Hi. For the past couple of months, I've been following your videos and your 'globe hopping' venues. I have also sent the videos to a number of 'interested parties' saying 'When Peter talks, I listen...' I'm listening now too...I'm a retired American educator, living in very rural western Turkey... globally, politics these days, scares the stuffin' out of me! Thanks for your point of view....Have a great time in NZ...If I could, I'd live there, earthquakes and all...stay safe.
I dont think you're any safer from earthquakes in Turkey.
Considering the sorry state of education in America I should not be surprised an "American educator" retired to Turkey. Allah Akbar!
Thanks George. Luckily, I left the US before education took a nosedive. I retired from Turkey not the US. Not that things are better here educationally. My objective wasn't to 'teach English'....I used English as the medium to help kids learn how to think and be creative.
Enjoyed doing it before leaving academe and entering the private sector.
@@arcar66 good for you! I'm actually a russian national. I left my home country due to obvious reasons and am currently living in Turkey but to be honest i'd rather live in the US (this is my long term goal), i dont think there's anything better in this world than life in rural US, if you have money.
Oh gawd. Thank the lord I’m Canadian. I can’t stand my own government but this sounds worse.

Have a great Vacation Peter!!! Well deserved break.
Please do a video about what you think now that Harris/Walz are running. Thanks watching from Australia.
I'm always fascinated by Peter's takes.
COOL THANKS FOR THE COMMENT IT ADDS A LOT
Simp
his takes are fascinating. But i feel a topic he has avoided talking about is about the whole Social Justice thing the Left is promoting.
The ones that are the most affected by this are the younger generations.
And i do believe that Zeihan, as a demographic expert, should actually talk about the consequences of this whole ideology.
In my opinion, enforcing things never works out. So its causing the younger generations to be far more divided on ideologies, which is bound to cause a lot of problems once those younger generations take over the labor force as ideological policies could derail the USA's Economy into a downward spiral.
@@unnamedshadow1866 are we promoting? I just want free healthcare bro
@@vossli1074 that's just the most minor of the stuff they are promoting. We all want free health care.. It may be free but it won't be quality. And if you have a serious disease, you will still probably go to a private health practice. Its what they do in Europe anywhere else that has Public Health Systems.
Otherwise European Countries wouldn't have Private Hospitals despite many countries have a Public Healthcare System.
Smartest guy in the room. In his mind.
So true. Confidence combined with a lack of sources and timeframes far enough ahead that people will forget most of your misses by the time the date rolls around.

Many academics and intellectuals have that issue. Even legitimately smart and competent ones sometimes buy into their own brands a little bit too much.
@@Len124 Congratulations. You have discovered the secret of why he doesn't care if this video upsets anybody in the moment. He can just shrug and say it was speculation.
I read that video title as “The next President of the United States will be Peter Zeihan”. That would certainly be better than the 2 party front-runners.
Yes, get someone with a brain as president!
If Peter Zaihan was president, he'd probably ban contraceptives, put viagra in the water, and have mandatory porn play on tv on all channels after kids bedtime. Oh and maybe he'd repeal the jones act too.
He has my vote
Someone who speaks to explain rather than inflame? Such blasphemy, you are clearly one of 'them'. 🤪

@@tanker7757 Or check Germany with so many parties and how long it takes to make a workable coalition
Honestly. If you listen to this analysis and prediction, it seems everybody's crazy and simply voting to be voting, but not to make things better.
You are correct.
"No one votes for the Vice President" didn't age well.
😂 nobody does care
Keep up your echo chamber though
Four more years with anyone over the age of 65 is just sad.
I'd put it at 70; other than that I agree.
The republican party needs to change its trajectory. It's a minority regional party now.
Seriously when I was a kid I didn't realize how much age drags you down, it's insane anyone could be put in that position over the age of 70.
Even sadder when we have four more years of someone who will be approaching ninety in his second term.
It's almost leaning toward the comedy side of tragi-comedy.

Yes, you are right about the mid terms. However, A lot has happened since the midterms from an economic standpoint. So, feelings might not be the same. Speaking for myself, I'm tired of my income shrinking on a daily basis. I will be voting on the basis of the economy alone. If the economy crumbles, how will anything else matter.
Why do you think the economy is crumbling? A President really can’t control prices. If you think they are too high, talk to the companies who keep the prices high. That’s what capitalism does. Wages are going up, unemployment is going down, stock market is up. Sounds like a good economy to me.
I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours. Vote for whom ever you want. That is what I plan to do. I'm not trying to influence anyone. You can not spend more than you make which is exactly what the government is doing. That strategy has never worked at my house, but maybe you have some magic formula that I don't know about.
@@sylviashanabrough6515 the government has spent more than comes in for aeons. This is not a new policy and it will not be changed anytime soon. Deficit-spending is the name of the game. We all learned long ago that the government can do things that we mere mortals cannot do in real life.
Amazes me that of all the brilliant people out there these are the only choices we have for the President of this country. It’s a damn shame that greed rules everything.
yeah , health care for ALL does not make any sense.
canada and UK and pretty much all other industrial nations, they all don't know how to do MATH.
but oh Americans, they know how to do MATH ,and Geography , thats for sure.
The lack of choices is an indication of the weakness of both parties. The open primary system wrecked the power of the parties to find and groom people who would be loyal to the party. Now the candidates for any office are all independent contractors. AOC got into Congress in spite of the Democratic Party, not because of it. She was picked by an organization that had money and means and she won the seat. She'll probably be there until she's Nancy Pelosi's age.
Yea I think Zeihan is an arm of the political right think tank. Dude sh*ts on Tesla and Bernie. Not a fan
Are you kidding? Biden has been the best President for America since Roosevelt. He coordinated & implemented the end to Covid-19, he's clawing back inflation, he got our gas prices to drop back to pre-covid prices, he has the lowest unemployment rate in the past 60 years, he actively supports Unions, AND he's fighting a proxy war with America's greatest historical enemy, the Russians.
Things would be different if everyone were as insightful as Eric Whittington. It must be such a burden for you to understand society so much better than everyone else.
Hey Peter, very interesting analysis. 5 months later, do you still feel the same?
We will see, time will tell. I love how Peter say so much about the future with such confidence. He speaks more like an old testament prophet....."this will happen "and "that will not happen". Yet time will tell
Glad you're sitting down and vlog... Last walk-video I got out of breath. But I'm glad ryan macbeth hinted on your channel... 🙂
We seriously need an age limit on president's and congressmen and senators. Because it's ridiculous you've got these 80 and 90 year olds in there because all they're doing is keeping the status quo when quite frankly a lot of things need to change.
Trying to pay more into “their “, social security so they can “draw” enough to live off of!
Can you name a conservative and a socialist / democratic that have the option of beating Trump? Not even close
People keep voting the old geysers in. We did it in Washington state with Magneson and Jackson, and now 2 current senators. Will have to amend the constitution. Don't see that as doable in my lifetime.
We also need a term limit for congress and senate! No more lifetime limits
Age is not determinative. People can experience dementia in their 50's.
I really do not know what to think but I am very very afraid for our country !
I'm very very afraid of our government.
WELL, BLAME COVID FIRST AND NOW THE WAR, UNTIL PUTIN IS DEAD, PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR, AS WELL AS GLOBAL WARMING WILL NOW CAUSE MASS CLIMATE MIGRATION ALL OVER THE GLOBE , ALREADY STARTED
You have every right to be afraid. If Donald Trump doesn't emerge as the President after the 2024 election, we can all kiss the U.S.A. goodbye!! Everyone that loves the country should vote for Trump, whether or not you like his personality. The communists/democrats/media, are the REAL ENEMY of AMERICA!! This is the last chance to wake up and save your country!!
Wonder how you feel about your prediction now ? Events... events.
Oh man. I like Bernie Sanders and Peter Zeihan xD
Maybe we couldn't have -every- progressive policy, but I don't understand why we couldn't have a slice of them and move our country back towards the New Deal era where corporations were paying almost 90% tax rates and the middle class was at one of its strongest points in American history
Nobody pays 90% tax. They just announce it to the plebs for political clout, "Look, people, we tax corporations 90%, we're as socially just as the commies" but then the accounting kicks in and the resulting actual tax payments are much lower. The top earners are paying the majority of taxes collected today and 5 and 10 years ago, so i dont see what's the problem with taxes, how can anyone call the current tax rates unfair.
Europe is a complete shithole with slaves without freedom of speech and self defense laws.
I focus on what I can do to bring happiness to my life and not obsess over politics.
You are very intelligent 👍👍👍
But you watched the video.
You don’t care about politics but politics cares about you. “Put not your faith in princes”. Trump doesn’t have a trans lover but he does have a hot wife. I’ll vote for anyone who isn’t a Democrat. ANYONE.

Well @@jimluebke3869, I at first rolled my eyes at that statement but now that you mentioned it, it still shows that it is an opinion of the swing voter, whether justified or unjustified, and that will ultimately lead to the result of a 2nd presidential term for Biden, because of the Democratic Party’s suppression of there grassroots movement and a fractured Republican Party with the polarity going for the most criticized candidate that has said enough to put a pause on most republican leaning/ swing voters. And lot a lot of the criticism is justified but there is still quite a few criticisms that people like Zeihan tend to over analyze but still prove a point to the larger picture.

The only way to get a Boomer to pass the ball to one of the younger generations is through a visit by the Grim Reaper. We live in a Gerontocracy.
You can't expect relevant policy from people who have nothing to lose (boomers). They're going to cling to power until the bitter end.
Technically Biden qualifies as Silent Gen. 😆 he's even older than the Boomers.
Biden born in 42, so a Silent Gen; Trump in 46, the cutoff year to be a Boomer. But agree with your underlying thought. Choice is mismanagement of everything or chaos leading to mismanagement.
It's amazing how much noise there is today from younger generations who want to blame everything on "boomers". Just keep up with the social experiments and the other nonsense, guys, and see how much worse it is when you all become the majority!
Consider yourself lucky. In Canada we are ruled by a kakistocracy comprised of youngsters who all distinguished themselves by flunking out of science, accounting or law faculties and went into government with fine arts degrees in literature and art. Oh, I should correct myself. Rich young people don't flunk out. They gracefully withdraw because Daddy pays off their university bills and pays for them to again gracefully withdraw from yet another science program. Only unfortunate poor kids flunk out, which is why our kakistocracy tells them they are so privileged.
