WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.480 We just passed the point of no return. 00:02.740 --> 00:05.680 Prepare now because this has been confirmed 00:05.680 --> 00:08.520 to turn into a global crisis. 00:08.880 --> 00:11.100 And we're already seeing the ripple effects 00:11.100 --> 00:13.680 right around the world, even today. 00:13.960 --> 00:15.760 And it's really only a matter of time 00:15.760 --> 00:17.980 until this affects you as well. 00:19.360 --> 00:21.720 But some slightly good news today. 00:21.880 --> 00:24.400 I'm gonna take you on a beautiful walk 00:24.400 --> 00:29.420 as we go over all of this less than beautiful news. 00:30.000 --> 00:33.280 And this really isn't going to be good, ladies and gentlemen. 00:33.560 --> 00:34.900 And we're gonna walk all the way up 00:34.900 --> 00:40.260 to a very old historic stone tower here on the Isle of Man. 00:40.580 --> 00:42.480 So stay until the end. 00:42.780 --> 00:45.980 So let's begin with some very important context then 00:46.560 --> 00:48.580 around the Iran conflict. 00:48.760 --> 00:51.100 And I know you'll have heard a few of these points 00:51.100 --> 00:53.860 over the last 24 to 48 hours, 00:54.120 --> 00:57.060 but I really want to give you context around them 00:57.060 --> 00:59.580 because I don't think they're giving these things 00:59.580 --> 01:00.900 enough emphasis. 01:01.360 --> 01:04.940 And we'll begin with the South Pass natural gas field, 01:05.020 --> 01:07.760 which is shared between Iran and Qatar. 01:08.440 --> 01:12.420 And it's actually absolutely crucial for natural gas, 01:12.620 --> 01:16.020 crucial, and we've just had a major hit on it. 01:16.140 --> 01:17.080 And if you think about it, 01:17.460 --> 01:21.040 you've now got 20% of the world's natural gas offline. 01:21.500 --> 01:23.420 And some of it is not gonna be turned back on 01:23.420 --> 01:25.220 for five to seven years. 01:25.780 --> 01:28.020 These are the conservative forecasts. 01:28.650 --> 01:31.960 You've got 10% of the world's oil right now turned off 01:31.960 --> 01:35.180 and there's no way to turn it back on for a good while yet. 01:35.440 --> 01:38.600 So this is simple supply and demand economics 01:39.190 --> 01:41.100 and we'll go through all of this today 01:41.100 --> 01:43.800 so that you are prepared, you're better prepared 01:43.800 --> 01:45.900 at least for what is about to come 01:45.900 --> 01:48.100 because I really don't think that most people 01:48.100 --> 01:50.940 even understand the implications 01:51.570 --> 01:53.900 of what is going to happen because of this. 01:53.960 --> 01:55.040 And I'll keep it all factual. 01:55.520 --> 01:57.760 There's no fear based stuff here. 01:57.760 --> 01:59.040 I'm just giving you the facts 01:59.040 --> 02:01.020 so that you can actually prepare. 02:01.520 --> 02:03.660 And I can see the tower here in the background, 02:03.700 --> 02:06.120 which is where we're going to walk up to. 02:06.480 --> 02:06.940 There it is. 02:07.060 --> 02:09.160 It's a very, very long walk yet. 02:09.280 --> 02:10.020 So let's get going. 02:10.300 --> 02:12.740 So the South Pass field then world's largest 02:12.740 --> 02:14.820 shared between Iran and Qatar 02:14.820 --> 02:19.160 actually forms an extension of Qatar's North field. 02:19.380 --> 02:21.480 It's North natural gas field. 02:21.900 --> 02:25.120 And I think they were just as shocked as everybody else 02:25.120 --> 02:26.840 that this was struck. 02:26.840 --> 02:30.360 And I think nearly everyone was really surprised by this. 02:30.520 --> 02:33.800 Even Trump was surprised when he found out about it. 02:33.860 --> 02:35.240 You saw on the press conference, 02:35.440 --> 02:37.360 eventually the sort of truth came out 02:37.360 --> 02:40.380 that Israel decided to strike the field 02:40.380 --> 02:43.640 and in response, Iran struck Israel back 02:43.640 --> 02:45.220 and so on and so forth. 02:45.340 --> 02:47.180 And this is the nature of war 02:47.180 --> 02:49.380 and it's only going to accelerate. 02:49.800 --> 02:53.340 So Iran is now heavily targeting its neighbors 02:53.740 --> 02:56.660 and even the commentators don't seem to understand 02:56.660 --> 02:58.400 why they are doing this. 02:58.940 --> 03:01.380 Now, if you think about the strategy behind it, 03:01.500 --> 03:04.020 it's obvious to put pressure on them 03:04.020 --> 03:07.920 to evict the US from these countries 03:07.920 --> 03:11.080 or maybe it's to have them pull their investments 03:11.080 --> 03:12.280 out of the US. 03:12.540 --> 03:14.900 Either way is going to be economically 03:14.900 --> 03:17.740 a massive blow to the US. 03:18.120 --> 03:19.400 But on the flip side of that, 03:19.480 --> 03:21.800 the US has its own energy. 03:21.800 --> 03:23.140 It has a lot of energy 03:23.680 --> 03:26.060 and they can also get a lot of energy from Canada, 03:26.120 --> 03:28.980 which is a net exporter of energy. 03:29.320 --> 03:31.460 But it's kind of interesting, 03:31.500 --> 03:33.540 even though I said weeks ago, 03:33.760 --> 03:36.660 it's still going to hit Americans at the gas pump. 03:37.640 --> 03:40.400 I would say the majority of people didn't believe me 03:40.400 --> 03:41.540 when I said that statement 03:42.080 --> 03:45.540 and now of course we're seeing the results at the pump 03:45.540 --> 03:48.420 and this is only going to get worse. 03:48.420 --> 03:52.780 And actually coming back to the energy infrastructure strikes, 03:53.260 --> 03:55.280 I think we kind of got lucky in a way 03:55.640 --> 03:58.200 that four of the five ballistic missiles 03:58.200 --> 04:01.160 that Iran fired were intercepted. 04:01.380 --> 04:02.620 If they weren't, 04:03.100 --> 04:05.560 I mean who knows how bad the damage could have been. 04:06.140 --> 04:10.640 It could have been absolutely catastrophic for the world. 04:10.940 --> 04:12.760 And if you like geopolitical content 04:12.760 --> 04:14.480 and finance content like this, 04:14.820 --> 04:17.540 remember to subscribe to the channel here. 04:17.540 --> 04:18.960 It's absolutely free. 04:19.460 --> 04:20.840 Now this isn't even over yet 04:20.840 --> 04:23.420 because after the self-pars attack, 04:23.500 --> 04:25.820 Iran actually said they're going to be targeting 04:26.240 --> 04:29.100 a lot of energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, 04:29.420 --> 04:30.440 the UAE, Qatar, 04:31.420 --> 04:34.360 and they've actually started to make good on that promise. 04:34.500 --> 04:36.600 We've already seen a lot more strikes 04:36.600 --> 04:39.520 in the last 24 to 48 hours. 04:39.800 --> 04:41.320 And if you follow the charts at all, 04:41.400 --> 04:45.260 you'll have seen that gas prices surged by 30% 04:46.020 --> 04:49.580 within that period of the strikes and the announcements. 04:50.020 --> 04:51.300 It's gonna be an interesting one now 04:51.300 --> 04:55.260 where we're starting the really big uphill climb. 04:55.640 --> 04:58.640 So let's see if I can walk and talk 04:58.640 --> 05:02.380 and hold the camera and everything else all at the same time. 05:02.400 --> 05:04.240 This will be a good test of fitness here. 05:04.480 --> 05:07.360 In fact, you look at the UK prices as well. 05:07.800 --> 05:11.520 Gas jumped by 20% in one single trading session. 05:12.080 --> 05:15.400 I mean, this is just unheard of with commodities, 05:15.920 --> 05:18.600 20% in a single trading session. 05:19.000 --> 05:22.520 Oil hits even higher levels as well right away. 05:22.940 --> 05:24.460 We're still over $100 a barrel. 05:24.920 --> 05:26.240 And even though people keep telling me, 05:26.280 --> 05:29.500 it's gonna come back down, it's gonna come back down 80, 90. 05:30.160 --> 05:31.840 I just don't see it at all. 05:31.980 --> 05:32.680 I really don't. 05:33.080 --> 05:36.140 I think we're looking at higher oil prices for longer. 05:36.640 --> 05:37.760 Okay, we're getting closer now. 05:37.840 --> 05:38.480 We're getting closer 05:38.980 --> 05:40.700 because you just look at the facts. 05:41.180 --> 05:43.980 If the energy infrastructure has been destroyed 05:44.440 --> 05:47.580 and it's going to take five years, five to seven years, 05:47.940 --> 05:50.820 by conservative estimates to repair 05:50.820 --> 05:52.460 and get it flowing again, 05:53.020 --> 05:56.100 then it's just simple supply and demand. 05:56.400 --> 06:00.220 There's no possible way that prices can come back down 06:00.220 --> 06:04.140 unless you're gonna open up new pipelines or new fields. 06:04.520 --> 06:05.600 But if that's the case, 06:05.720 --> 06:07.040 where are these new pipelines? 06:07.220 --> 06:08.200 Where are these new fields? 06:08.640 --> 06:09.560 It's not that simple. 06:09.560 --> 06:13.080 You don't just turn on a tap, as I've said in recent days. 06:13.600 --> 06:16.680 This fleece was a great idea at the start of the walk 06:17.120 --> 06:18.420 and then the sun has come out. 06:19.980 --> 06:21.300 It's getting warm now. 06:21.780 --> 06:22.580 Let me just say that. 06:23.140 --> 06:25.040 But then another point I wanna talk about here 06:25.040 --> 06:27.740 and we're gonna loop back to all of this in a moment 06:28.360 --> 06:29.360 is the redundancies. 06:29.980 --> 06:33.760 So one of my charts just went crazy today. 06:33.900 --> 06:35.440 The alerts were just insane 06:35.980 --> 06:38.980 at all of these redundancies that have just been announced. 06:38.980 --> 06:41.180 In fact, this headline just came out 06:41.180 --> 06:43.840 that says more than 300,000 Brits 06:44.220 --> 06:47.380 are at risk of redundancy this year in 2026 06:47.840 --> 06:50.420 as a result of the Iran war. 06:50.960 --> 06:53.340 This is an actual headline that we've just seen 06:53.340 --> 06:55.640 and this is right across the Western world. 06:56.080 --> 07:00.020 Huge amounts of redundancies are going to be coming 07:00.020 --> 07:01.660 and you might ask, well, why? 07:02.160 --> 07:05.240 Well, it's because as the higher costs feed into business, 07:05.560 --> 07:08.000 businesses know that their highest cost, 07:08.000 --> 07:11.180 their highest expense is employees, it's wages. 07:12.020 --> 07:13.320 So what they'll begin to do 07:13.760 --> 07:15.580 is they'll start to make some layoffs. 07:15.960 --> 07:18.200 These were people that they were thinking of laying off 07:18.200 --> 07:19.460 anyway at the start, 07:19.880 --> 07:22.100 but then the ripple effect really comes through 07:22.100 --> 07:23.960 and they have to start laying off people 07:23.960 --> 07:26.380 that they don't necessarily want to lay off 07:26.380 --> 07:28.220 and this is where it gets really difficult 07:28.220 --> 07:32.040 because then you hit a term called employment scarring 07:32.700 --> 07:34.580 and employment scarring dictates 07:34.580 --> 07:37.500 that as more and more people are fired 07:37.500 --> 07:39.920 or laid off within the economy, 07:40.380 --> 07:44.580 it means that each one of those people was a wage earner 07:44.580 --> 07:47.260 so they spend their money into the economy. 07:47.840 --> 07:49.480 Well, what happens when you lose your job, 07:49.740 --> 07:52.620 you reduce your expenses, you tighten your belt, 07:52.900 --> 07:55.600 you just haven't got the same money that you had before. 07:56.020 --> 07:57.620 I'm starting to be a little bit out of breath here now. 07:59.020 --> 07:59.740 Here we go. 07:59.980 --> 08:02.020 Take a quick look at the views here 08:02.020 --> 08:03.000 while I catch my breath. 08:03.920 --> 08:05.820 So this is just a vicious cycle 08:05.820 --> 08:07.860 because the more people they get fired, 08:08.400 --> 08:11.400 the more people it leads to getting fired 08:11.400 --> 08:14.240 because those people can't go to the store, 08:14.360 --> 08:15.740 they can't go to the coffee shop, 08:15.820 --> 08:19.300 they can't go to the leisure place they go to 08:19.300 --> 08:20.600 because they haven't got the money to do it. 08:20.980 --> 08:23.560 So then those people at those businesses get fired 08:23.980 --> 08:26.100 and it just creates this cascade effect. 08:26.380 --> 08:26.980 It's not good. 08:27.320 --> 08:29.760 In fact, I was just reading this freedom of information 08:30.460 --> 08:33.380 request that was filed by the liquidation center 08:33.900 --> 08:36.920 and it was over 315,000 jobs 08:37.600 --> 08:39.240 that are about to be, 08:39.620 --> 08:42.160 what people are about to be made redundant. 08:42.900 --> 08:44.780 Okay, I think I'm gonna leave my fleece here 08:45.380 --> 08:48.820 on this wall as we climb to the top of the tower there. 08:48.940 --> 08:49.700 And no, don't worry. 08:49.780 --> 08:53.280 No one's gonna steal my fleece here on the Isle of Man. 08:53.360 --> 08:56.580 I can leave my laptop and wallet there for the whole day 08:56.580 --> 08:57.720 and no one would steal it. 08:59.200 --> 09:01.420 So, okay, so you might be saying then, 09:01.420 --> 09:02.420 well, Neil, is that a lot? 09:03.880 --> 09:05.740 315,000, is that a lot? 09:06.320 --> 09:07.540 Yeah, it's a lot. 09:07.900 --> 09:11.260 If you think the worst redundancies were in 2021 09:11.260 --> 09:13.200 around the lockdown periods, 09:14.100 --> 09:19.020 then that's actually 45% higher than that period. 09:19.800 --> 09:20.840 So is it a lot? 09:21.100 --> 09:23.880 Yeah, this is absolutely huge, 09:24.240 --> 09:25.220 what it's about to hit, 09:25.340 --> 09:28.600 this huge wave of layoffs and redundancies. 09:28.600 --> 09:31.860 And I just saw it in Dell's annual filings 09:31.860 --> 09:36.500 that they fired 11,000 workers, 11,000. 09:36.580 --> 09:37.500 I've got the numbers here. 09:38.260 --> 09:41.860 They spent $569 million on severance 09:41.860 --> 09:44.620 and they called it disciplined cost management. 09:45.080 --> 09:46.780 So let's put all of this together then. 09:47.220 --> 09:50.260 Let's put together the rising energy shocks, 09:50.860 --> 09:52.620 the rising fertilizer prices. 09:53.120 --> 09:54.620 We haven't even talked about that yet. 09:55.190 --> 09:57.960 The crazy cost of living explosion, 09:58.360 --> 10:00.820 the food prices are gonna have to explode 10:00.820 --> 10:04.060 because there won't be enough food coming very shortly, 10:04.460 --> 10:05.820 especially if this continues 10:05.820 --> 10:08.560 with a destruction of energy infrastructure. 10:09.020 --> 10:11.280 Travel and commuting is gonna be hit hard. 10:11.640 --> 10:14.080 So you'll see more work from home days 10:14.080 --> 10:15.420 and things like that. 10:15.840 --> 10:17.320 You're just seeing so much hit. 10:17.460 --> 10:20.380 You're gonna see as well stock markets are gonna go down. 10:20.780 --> 10:23.820 Golden silver will continue to go down 10:23.820 --> 10:25.440 and then they'll explode upwards. 10:26.320 --> 10:26.500 Why? 10:26.820 --> 10:28.060 Well, that's a whole nother video, 10:28.060 --> 10:30.580 but people are getting liquidated right now 10:30.580 --> 10:34.000 even a lot of funds with all of their option contracts. 10:34.460 --> 10:37.160 So that's why it's not someone said, 10:37.180 --> 10:38.800 Neil, are you selling all your golden silver? 10:39.720 --> 10:40.760 Absolutely nowhere. 10:41.120 --> 10:41.440 Are you mad? 10:42.820 --> 10:45.480 These are bargain prices to be buying at. 10:45.920 --> 10:46.920 Well, maybe not just yet. 10:47.400 --> 10:48.640 You're gonna see lower prices yet. 10:48.920 --> 10:51.260 But yeah, I'm definitely not selling. 10:51.480 --> 10:52.180 Let me tell you. 10:52.180 --> 10:53.460 But the other thing you're gonna see 10:53.460 --> 10:54.740 is stock markets go down. 10:55.280 --> 10:57.080 I'm sorry to say that ladies and gents, 10:57.200 --> 10:59.380 but they are stock markets are gonna go down 10:59.380 --> 11:01.280 because of the higher input cost 11:01.280 --> 11:02.720 because consumers will cut back. 11:03.000 --> 11:05.700 So all your consumer cyclicals gonna be hit right away. 11:06.240 --> 11:09.560 The other thing which people aren't really ready for 11:10.160 --> 11:10.920 is the bonds. 11:11.600 --> 11:13.440 Let's take a seat here for a minute. 11:13.680 --> 11:16.340 We're almost there, almost to the top of the tower 11:16.340 --> 11:17.200 and then we'll climb it. 11:17.340 --> 11:19.360 But yeah, we've got to talk about the government bonds 11:19.360 --> 11:22.080 because here's what people aren't realizing. 11:22.780 --> 11:25.380 As the bonds keep going up, 11:25.880 --> 11:27.440 the interest rates will keep going up. 11:27.660 --> 11:30.540 As the Bank of England, the ECB, the Fed, 11:31.000 --> 11:33.300 everyone starts raising interest rates. 11:33.340 --> 11:35.140 It's gonna make everything more expensive. 11:35.480 --> 11:37.480 And I'll talk about mortgages and things like that 11:37.480 --> 11:38.700 because I've got an answer for you now 11:38.700 --> 11:40.500 on fixing mortgages. 11:40.600 --> 11:42.060 We'll talk about that shortly as well. 11:42.200 --> 11:43.900 But the important thing I want you to think about 11:43.900 --> 11:46.720 is if government bonds keep rising, 11:46.720 --> 11:49.320 that means they're gonna have less money for spending. 11:49.720 --> 11:52.400 They're gonna have to go to austerity measures. 11:53.280 --> 11:54.100 That's not good. 11:54.540 --> 11:56.280 That's going to affect everyone. 11:56.820 --> 11:57.500 What could that mean? 11:57.700 --> 11:58.380 All sorts of things. 11:58.580 --> 12:00.860 Cutbacks in government spending and services. 12:01.460 --> 12:04.760 It could mean higher taxes on everyone as well. 12:05.060 --> 12:06.920 I mean, if this continues at this pace 12:06.920 --> 12:08.740 with the energy infrastructure destruction, 12:09.040 --> 12:11.900 you're gonna see something you've never before seen 12:11.900 --> 12:12.620 in your lifetime. 12:13.040 --> 12:15.760 It's gonna make 2008 look like a walk in the park. 12:15.760 --> 12:19.660 It's gonna make the 1970s and 1980s oil shucks 12:19.660 --> 12:21.920 look like a blip in comparison 12:22.300 --> 12:24.060 where you saw what happened with interest rates. 12:24.060 --> 12:25.440 They went through the roof. 12:25.580 --> 12:28.940 Some of you will be old enough to remember that that period 12:28.940 --> 12:33.640 where you had 15%, 16, some people 20% mortgages. 12:34.180 --> 12:36.600 Okay, this is possible again. 12:36.760 --> 12:38.880 I'm not saying that's what's gonna happen though. 12:38.880 --> 12:39.640 I just wanna be clear. 12:40.020 --> 12:41.460 I'm not saying this is gonna happen. 12:41.580 --> 12:44.560 I'm saying don't rule anything out at this point. 12:44.560 --> 12:45.780 It's too early to tell. 12:46.560 --> 12:50.060 But if this continues, then it will be worse than that. 12:50.380 --> 12:52.400 And I've shared with you so many times 12:52.400 --> 12:54.440 how you should be getting prepared for all of this. 12:54.760 --> 12:56.920 There's so many videos on the channel you can watch 12:56.920 --> 12:59.600 with in terms of preparation, preparedness, 12:59.980 --> 13:02.840 not just with your finances, but with your family, 13:03.340 --> 13:06.900 with your household, supplies, emergency food, 13:07.140 --> 13:08.080 and all the other things. 13:08.220 --> 13:09.660 And even from an income perspective, 13:09.660 --> 13:12.740 I highly, highly recommend that you start thinking 13:12.740 --> 13:15.480 about this now, whether that's a different role, 13:16.000 --> 13:17.320 risky in this environment, 13:17.800 --> 13:20.240 or you get some sort of a part-time income 13:20.240 --> 13:21.800 or you get more income streams. 13:22.320 --> 13:23.600 Just created the new program. 13:23.740 --> 13:25.040 We talked about that the other day, 13:25.380 --> 13:27.360 but you've gotta start thinking about these things now. 13:27.540 --> 13:29.940 And no, I don't mean a part-time job. 13:30.120 --> 13:32.400 That is the one thing you don't wanna be getting 13:32.400 --> 13:36.200 is a part-time job because you can't leverage your time 13:36.200 --> 13:39.140 to the value that you get from the employer. 13:39.500 --> 13:40.660 You can't leverage it. 13:40.880 --> 13:42.160 So what you actually need is something 13:42.160 --> 13:42.980 you can leverage. 13:43.540 --> 13:44.880 So what do I think that is? 13:44.940 --> 13:47.940 I think it's creating digital products and services 13:47.940 --> 13:51.060 that we've talked about that are so easy to do now, 13:51.100 --> 13:52.520 especially if you can use AI, 13:52.760 --> 13:53.980 which most people can because, 13:54.320 --> 13:56.340 just like using the web browser, right? 13:56.460 --> 13:59.000 This sort of stuff is what I highly recommend doing. 13:59.320 --> 14:01.440 And actually, I'm so proud that so many of you 14:01.440 --> 14:05.580 are taking the digital income mastery program right now. 14:05.680 --> 14:07.880 Really, I just think it's great 14:07.880 --> 14:09.220 how many of you are taking it. 14:09.460 --> 14:11.880 And I'd love to let more people into the program, 14:11.880 --> 14:14.500 but I can only really do 25 people at a time 14:14.500 --> 14:17.240 because I'm recording it as I go along. 14:17.540 --> 14:20.060 I just didn't expect the demand for the program 14:20.500 --> 14:21.700 that I've been honest with you here. 14:21.760 --> 14:24.160 I did not expect the demand to be this high. 14:24.400 --> 14:26.240 I'm blown away by the amount of people 14:26.240 --> 14:27.620 that want to do the program. 14:27.820 --> 14:30.740 And I'm also just making sure that everything is ready. 14:30.900 --> 14:32.700 I wanna make it foolproof for everyone 14:33.300 --> 14:35.660 and so that you can start on that program 14:35.660 --> 14:38.120 and begin making money within 30 days. 14:38.480 --> 14:41.380 And I genuinely think if you just apply yourself to it, 14:41.380 --> 14:44.280 that you can begin to make money within 30 days. 14:44.740 --> 14:46.540 In fact, even though I haven't even taught 14:46.540 --> 14:49.660 the marketing and the sales aspects of it yet, 14:49.740 --> 14:51.760 where you basically build those things out 14:51.760 --> 14:54.600 and then it just runs on autopilot, which is really simple. 14:55.020 --> 14:56.520 I had a lady, her name's Cathy. 14:56.980 --> 14:59.800 Cathy, if you're watching, from the USA. 15:00.100 --> 15:01.520 I think she's from Oregon. 15:02.360 --> 15:04.340 I probably completely mispronounced that, 15:04.400 --> 15:07.020 but anyway, she's from the USA 15:07.560 --> 15:10.100 and she's an accountant and she's just said 15:10.100 --> 15:12.780 she just sold her first two templates. 15:13.140 --> 15:15.500 So what she created, which is part of the program, 15:15.720 --> 15:18.120 is creating templates and all sorts of other things 15:18.120 --> 15:20.360 that basically just save people a load of time. 15:20.740 --> 15:22.100 So she created these templates 15:22.100 --> 15:24.980 that help people do their taxes twice as fast. 15:25.380 --> 15:27.000 So if you're someone like me, 15:27.560 --> 15:29.000 obviously I'm gonna buy that template 15:29.540 --> 15:33.040 because I think she said it was $50 or something like that, 15:33.420 --> 15:33.820 $45. 15:34.560 --> 15:36.980 If that's gonna save me hours and hours and hours, 15:37.380 --> 15:38.160 then it's worth it. 15:38.460 --> 15:39.580 So that's just a little example 15:39.580 --> 15:41.760 but yeah, we've got people already started. 15:42.240 --> 15:44.580 We've got a guy, Rich, who's a plumber. 15:45.000 --> 15:48.020 He's already started selling his first digital, 15:49.060 --> 15:51.240 I'm not sure exactly, I think they're PDFs 15:51.240 --> 15:53.020 that he's created on his plumbing business. 15:53.500 --> 15:55.040 He's already started selling some of them. 15:55.460 --> 15:58.600 So people are literally making money right away already. 15:58.980 --> 16:00.280 So yeah, if you wanna give it a try, 16:00.620 --> 16:02.700 there's a 30-day money-back guarantee on it. 16:02.760 --> 16:05.780 No questions asked, so you can just do that right away. 16:06.280 --> 16:08.240 So there'll be a link somewhere around this video. 16:08.360 --> 16:09.080 You can click that. 16:09.080 --> 16:10.820 And it'll take you to another video 16:10.820 --> 16:13.300 and it just explains all about the program 16:13.300 --> 16:14.600 and everything else. 16:14.700 --> 16:15.960 So yeah, definitely check that out 16:15.960 --> 16:19.600 if you're interested in making additional streams of income 16:19.600 --> 16:21.080 or a part-time income. 16:21.720 --> 16:23.440 It'll really protect you in what's coming. 16:23.780 --> 16:25.260 Oh, and if you can't get in today, 16:25.400 --> 16:28.000 just try again tomorrow or definitely Sunday. 16:28.320 --> 16:29.580 There'll be some more places. 16:30.160 --> 16:31.880 So yeah, it's 90% off 16:31.880 --> 16:33.720 because I'm pre-filming at the moment. 16:33.720 --> 16:35.400 So it's not 100% finished 16:35.780 --> 16:39.200 but modules five and six are out tomorrow evening. 16:39.380 --> 16:41.020 So Saturday evening, this weekend, 16:41.540 --> 16:43.020 module five and six are out. 16:43.320 --> 16:44.140 Okay, let me show you. 16:44.460 --> 16:45.000 Here we are. 16:45.480 --> 16:48.260 We have made it to Milner's Tower 16:49.000 --> 16:52.480 which is a beautiful old stone-built tower 16:52.940 --> 16:54.880 and we're gonna walk up to the top now 16:55.380 --> 16:58.580 and we're gonna see the view from across Port Arran. 17:01.220 --> 17:02.560 So here we go. 17:05.800 --> 17:08.000 And it's just spiral steps all the way. 17:08.780 --> 17:09.920 Okay, you're not gonna see anything 17:09.920 --> 17:11.360 so I'll turn the camera off a second 17:11.860 --> 17:14.200 because it is absolutely pitch black in here. 17:16.740 --> 17:17.880 Okay, here we are. 17:18.420 --> 17:20.040 Just got my steps in for the day. 17:32.940 --> 17:34.500 Okay, I hope you enjoyed that little 17:34.500 --> 17:37.060 walk up Milner's Tower there then. 17:37.140 --> 17:40.180 We're gonna just walk around this area for a little bit. 17:40.560 --> 17:42.160 So let's continue on then. 17:42.280 --> 17:45.500 So the Iranian strikes actually took out two 17:45.500 --> 17:48.920 of Qatar's 14 LNG trains. 17:49.140 --> 17:50.380 Like completely took them out. 17:51.080 --> 17:53.580 Imagine if even more of those missiles went through. 17:54.120 --> 17:57.060 You would have seen a, and again, 17:57.280 --> 17:58.160 I don't say this lightly, 17:58.760 --> 18:01.200 you would have seen a global famine if, 18:01.800 --> 18:03.580 and the reason I say that is because 18:03.580 --> 18:06.660 one of the two gas to liquid facilities 18:06.660 --> 18:07.780 were hit as well. 18:08.220 --> 18:13.340 You would have literally seen a global famine of 25%. 18:14.440 --> 18:15.800 25%, I'm gonna be conservative. 18:16.380 --> 18:19.780 25% of people around the world. 18:20.400 --> 18:21.920 That's how bad it would have been. 18:22.460 --> 18:25.820 And you still are going to see famine as a result of this. 18:25.920 --> 18:29.360 You're probably going to see some food riots at some point. 18:29.540 --> 18:31.920 You're gonna see some social unrest and breakdown 18:32.520 --> 18:34.540 because there's a knock on effect, right? 18:34.600 --> 18:36.780 There's a cascading effect of all of this. 18:37.260 --> 18:39.540 Much of it hasn't even gone through the economy yet. 18:39.720 --> 18:41.300 It's still gonna go through the economy. 18:41.820 --> 18:44.740 Everyone's talking, you know, praising Keir Starmer, 18:44.880 --> 18:47.220 Rachel Reeves about this energy cap. 18:47.580 --> 18:50.200 The energy cap, well, you think they put the energy cap 18:50.200 --> 18:52.500 in place, this three month energy cap. 18:53.040 --> 18:55.160 Wow, all these people that are saying that, 18:55.260 --> 18:56.200 oh, they did a great job. 18:56.580 --> 18:58.120 No, the energy cap was in place. 18:59.000 --> 19:00.560 It wasn't, they didn't put it in place. 19:00.920 --> 19:02.380 And what they're not telling you is 19:02.380 --> 19:04.600 what's gonna happen in July, right? 19:04.680 --> 19:06.780 Once this energy cap has lifted, 19:07.280 --> 19:09.440 just wait until you see the shocks 19:09.820 --> 19:11.140 that are gonna take place in July. 19:11.960 --> 19:15.560 My goodness, the UK is not gonna know what hit it, 19:15.620 --> 19:18.280 especially, I think they just voted, 19:18.700 --> 19:21.320 was it nine to one to hold interest rates? 19:21.800 --> 19:24.920 I mean, the last time I saw a unanimous vote like that 19:24.920 --> 19:25.940 has been a while. 19:26.440 --> 19:28.080 So I think they're probably gonna be looking 19:28.080 --> 19:30.100 to raise interest rates at this point. 19:30.160 --> 19:32.800 Many countries will, which is not good. 19:33.160 --> 19:35.880 It's not good at all for growth. 19:35.880 --> 19:39.200 And Qatar actually canceled its contracts, by the way. 19:39.740 --> 19:41.700 So these are contracts with Belgium, 19:42.720 --> 19:44.840 Belgium, Italy, China, 19:45.000 --> 19:47.280 and I think it was South Korea was the fourth country. 19:47.500 --> 19:51.000 So that means no LNG or at least limited LNG. 19:51.520 --> 19:54.420 And again, you're hearing all these things from the UK 19:54.420 --> 19:57.840 saying, well, we're protected and all this other stuff. 19:58.040 --> 19:59.860 We're protected because we planned for this. 19:59.940 --> 20:01.960 We cut off Russian energy a long time ago. 20:02.600 --> 20:05.320 No, all that happened was energy prices went up 20:05.320 --> 20:10.640 as the UK sought other places to get this energy from, 20:11.100 --> 20:12.580 which they did, they did replace it, 20:12.600 --> 20:13.860 but it's a lot more expensive 20:13.860 --> 20:17.120 as we've all seen with our energy bills. 20:17.600 --> 20:19.360 And you look at Ursulaire and Lagarde 20:19.360 --> 20:22.480 and some of these other senior leaders in the EU, 20:22.840 --> 20:24.120 it's obvious they don't care. 20:24.280 --> 20:27.180 They're so wealthy, it's not gonna affect them. 20:27.220 --> 20:28.980 So they really don't care at all. 20:29.320 --> 20:31.220 But this is gonna hit Europe so bad. 20:31.580 --> 20:34.200 One of the first things I would be cutting right away 20:34.200 --> 20:37.680 is any investments in manufacturing in Europe. 20:38.200 --> 20:40.800 I wouldn't be holding any of these things right now. 20:41.340 --> 20:42.620 Same with what we mentioned 20:42.620 --> 20:44.020 with some of the consumer cyclical. 20:44.320 --> 20:46.980 This is not today, but it's in the near future. 20:47.140 --> 20:48.620 This is gonna get hit really hard. 20:48.800 --> 20:50.460 And you think this is gonna be over soon. 20:51.100 --> 20:51.880 I wouldn't bet on it. 20:52.200 --> 20:54.560 Israel's just said that they see a reason 20:54.560 --> 20:57.440 for a ground offensive in Iran. 20:57.820 --> 20:59.520 And now I'm not saying a full scale, 20:59.540 --> 21:02.940 but there's definitely some sort of talk of ground troops, 21:02.940 --> 21:05.020 whatever that's going to look like. 21:05.140 --> 21:06.480 And the Pentagon has just announced 21:06.480 --> 21:09.880 they're gonna be sending a second Marine amphibious group 21:09.880 --> 21:11.280 to the Middle East. 21:11.520 --> 21:12.680 So that makes two now. 21:13.120 --> 21:13.400 So what's that? 21:13.540 --> 21:17.680 2,200 is 4,400 troops are gonna be on the way. 21:17.880 --> 21:18.940 But wait, there's more. 21:19.500 --> 21:22.660 Saudi Arabia is now threatening strikes on Iran. 21:22.980 --> 21:26.540 Iran is also threatening actions against the UK 21:27.180 --> 21:29.200 because, and I'm gonna have to quote here, 21:29.520 --> 21:32.300 it says that the UK has been providing military bases 21:32.300 --> 21:34.420 for the US to strike Iran. 21:34.740 --> 21:37.740 This is considered participation in aggression. 21:38.200 --> 21:41.040 So they said there will be consequences for the UK. 21:41.900 --> 21:45.580 So it's not just now, man, if I were in the, 21:45.980 --> 21:47.480 luckily I'm on the Isle of Man, 21:47.600 --> 21:50.700 which is a crown dependency, which is a whole other story. 21:51.500 --> 21:53.060 So it's not part of the UK, 21:53.140 --> 21:55.440 even though people think the Isle of Man is part of the UK. 21:55.760 --> 21:58.020 It's actually owned by the monarch. 21:58.720 --> 22:01.320 Yes, the Isle of Man is owned by the monarch. 22:01.710 --> 22:03.400 As crazy as that sounds, 22:03.780 --> 22:06.920 a one man can own an island like this. 22:07.080 --> 22:07.860 But anyway, he does. 22:08.480 --> 22:10.420 So I'm not as worried, but for the UK, 22:10.960 --> 22:12.580 the things now that have been announced. 22:13.100 --> 22:15.200 So Iran is now threatening the UK 22:15.200 --> 22:18.440 for the UK helping the US strike Iran. 22:18.960 --> 22:21.040 Russia is threatening the UK 22:21.530 --> 22:24.120 for helping Ukraine to strike Russia. 22:24.580 --> 22:26.500 I mean, the UK at some point, 22:27.100 --> 22:28.320 I don't know when it's gonna be, 22:28.320 --> 22:31.340 but it's gonna get absolutely hammered. 22:31.680 --> 22:34.240 I wouldn't definitely not wanna be in the UK 22:34.240 --> 22:36.020 when World War III hits. 22:36.160 --> 22:37.640 Let me put it this way, I'd be out of there. 22:37.880 --> 22:40.400 I'd be on the first boat, first plane. 22:40.840 --> 22:42.320 I mean, I'd swim if I had to. 22:42.860 --> 22:44.840 It's just gonna be absolute chaos. 22:45.300 --> 22:48.080 So another question people asked me over last week 22:48.080 --> 22:50.460 was around global inflation, 22:50.560 --> 22:51.460 because I said we're gonna see 22:51.460 --> 22:55.060 higher inflation globally as well as GDP drops. 22:55.700 --> 22:57.540 I think we're probably looking at 22:57.540 --> 22:59.940 somewhere in the region of 3%, 22:59.940 --> 23:03.000 and it could be up to 4% or 4.5% 23:03.000 --> 23:06.600 in inflation globally as a result of, 23:06.900 --> 23:09.000 because if you were to do the calculations 23:09.000 --> 23:11.680 on the energy inputs, that's the oil and LNG, 23:12.120 --> 23:14.180 into each economy around the world, 23:14.320 --> 23:17.280 and then you cut 20% of the gas 23:17.280 --> 23:18.620 and you cut 10% of the oil, 23:19.080 --> 23:20.540 it's going to feed somewhere 23:21.080 --> 23:24.480 in the region of 3% to 4.5% to inflation. 23:24.940 --> 23:26.300 And then you have to calculate 23:26.300 --> 23:28.260 the knock-on effects of that to GDP, 23:28.560 --> 23:30.440 which will be different for each country, of course. 23:31.060 --> 23:33.000 But the more energy-independent you are, 23:33.500 --> 23:35.520 the better and more resilient you'll be. 23:35.940 --> 23:38.040 Some countries are gonna be more resilient than others. 23:38.740 --> 23:39.840 I just think a lot of the West, 23:40.260 --> 23:41.580 UK, Europe especially, 23:42.200 --> 23:44.020 are going to suffer very badly 23:44.020 --> 23:45.740 and Australia and New Zealand. 23:46.260 --> 23:49.640 These regions are gonna be hit really, really hard, 23:49.920 --> 23:52.260 and it's their own fault, not the people's fault. 23:52.800 --> 23:53.960 I'm on the people's side. 23:54.280 --> 23:55.340 It's the leader's fault, 23:55.880 --> 23:57.260 because the leaders have followed 23:57.260 --> 23:59.520 all of these crazy policies 24:00.020 --> 24:02.140 and destroyed their energy 24:02.600 --> 24:03.860 just so that they could look good 24:03.860 --> 24:06.180 at all of these little conferences and things, 24:06.340 --> 24:08.460 and they've screwed over the people. 24:08.900 --> 24:12.220 Okay, and the last point I promised I'd cover today then 24:12.220 --> 24:15.480 is around the mortgages. 24:15.860 --> 24:18.640 So I'll talk specifically about UK mortgages here, 24:18.820 --> 24:21.320 and then you can look at your own country's mortgage. 24:21.740 --> 24:22.740 Let's get the sunglasses on, 24:22.800 --> 24:24.520 we're walking into the sun a little bit here. 24:24.960 --> 24:26.640 So mortgages then, mortgage rates. 24:26.920 --> 24:29.380 I said on Wednesday's video 24:29.840 --> 24:31.440 that I don't know what I would do 24:31.440 --> 24:32.840 if I were in your position right now, 24:32.860 --> 24:35.820 but I've thought about it since over the last couple of days, 24:36.080 --> 24:38.500 and I do think not financial advice, 24:39.020 --> 24:40.120 do your own research, 24:40.120 --> 24:42.420 speech to your financial advisor, whatever, 24:42.780 --> 24:44.420 and I always have to give these silly caveats 24:44.420 --> 24:46.360 because if you get, say, a thousand people 24:46.360 --> 24:47.480 that do what you say, 24:47.960 --> 24:50.040 one of them's gonna end up bad, right? 24:50.240 --> 24:52.060 It's just the law of averages. 24:52.300 --> 24:53.880 One person's gonna end up getting 24:54.380 --> 24:56.060 getting it wrong or getting something bad 24:56.060 --> 24:57.160 and then they'll come after me. 24:57.360 --> 24:58.920 So not financial advice. 24:59.560 --> 25:02.260 Okay, what would I do if I had a mortgage 25:02.260 --> 25:03.200 that was coming up now? 25:03.540 --> 25:06.120 I would actually fix it now at these rates. 25:06.420 --> 25:07.200 I wouldn't wait. 25:07.800 --> 25:09.420 I definitely wouldn't wait 25:09.420 --> 25:12.700 unless I had a renewal coming up 25:12.700 --> 25:15.140 in, say, one year's time or more. 25:15.240 --> 25:16.640 So one, two years, et cetera. 25:17.060 --> 25:18.320 Then, yeah, I'd probably wait, 25:18.540 --> 25:20.500 but if you've got one coming up right now, 25:21.160 --> 25:23.500 I wouldn't just let it sit and go onto a variable. 25:24.100 --> 25:25.840 I'd fix it again right now 25:25.840 --> 25:28.560 because I see higher rates coming. 25:29.060 --> 25:30.680 That's what I see for mortgages. 25:30.940 --> 25:32.080 So that's what I do. 25:32.140 --> 25:33.940 And if you've got a mortgage going through right now, 25:34.480 --> 25:36.220 get it completed quickly, 25:36.360 --> 25:38.280 or if you've got a sale, get it completed quickly 25:38.620 --> 25:40.080 because we're already seeing lenders 25:40.080 --> 25:42.140 pulling mortgages from the market. 25:42.680 --> 25:44.220 Now, legally, they shouldn't 25:44.220 --> 25:45.840 if you've already got the offer confirmed, 25:46.520 --> 25:48.780 but these are exceptional times 25:48.780 --> 25:50.820 and we're already seeing a couple of lenders 25:50.820 --> 25:53.280 having pulled them even though they've made offers. 25:53.760 --> 25:55.600 So be very, very careful. 25:56.140 --> 25:57.000 Get this fixed in. 25:57.120 --> 25:58.500 Start thinking about all your costs 25:58.500 --> 25:59.640 and your fixed costs now. 25:59.840 --> 26:01.720 And yeah, just really plan for everything 26:01.720 --> 26:02.840 that we've talked about here. 26:03.200 --> 26:05.180 This is gonna be really, really not good, 26:05.340 --> 26:06.060 shall we say. 26:06.400 --> 26:07.260 But that's why I did it 26:07.260 --> 26:08.560 with this beautiful walk today. 26:08.700 --> 26:10.680 I thought this is gonna be really bad news. 26:11.020 --> 26:12.380 Where should I do this walk? 26:12.760 --> 26:15.060 And of course, this is the perfect place. 26:15.680 --> 26:17.240 In fact, I'll give you a lovely view 26:18.180 --> 26:21.440 as we wrap up here in a moment. 26:21.940 --> 26:24.120 And look, I can see my fleece there in the middle. 26:24.540 --> 26:25.280 No one took it. 26:25.540 --> 26:27.700 So yeah, thank you so much for being a subscriber. 26:28.240 --> 26:29.320 Really appreciate you. 26:29.440 --> 26:32.820 Definitely check out the link to my program as well. 26:32.880 --> 26:35.040 I think it's gonna really help you out big time. 26:35.220 --> 26:36.600 And apart from that, take care. 26:36.900 --> 26:39.560 God bless and I'm gonna finish a lovely walk here 26:40.040 --> 26:41.600 and I'll see you on the next one.
