Davos 2025: Global Economic Power Plays and Trump's Impact

1
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,160
What if I told you the world's
economic order is unraveling

2
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,440
right now?
Imagine waking up tomorrow to

3
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,680
supply chains collapsing,
currencies destabilizing, and

4
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,880
billionaires making moves that
the public won't see coming

5
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,560
until it's too late.
That's not a doomsday

6
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,600
prediction.
It's happening right here, right

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,920
now, in Davos.
The world's most powerful

8
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,440
figures aren't gathered to
celebrate growth.

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,200
They're here to brace for
impact.

10
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,000
And while the media feeds you
polished sound bites behind

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,520
closed doors, it's survival
mode.

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Some will lose everything.
Others will walk away with

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,600
generational wealth.
The question is where will you

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,080
stand?
Welcome to Davos 2025, Global

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,760
economic power plays and Trump's
impact.

16
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,880
A special episode of Finance
Frontier where we decode the

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,720
real stories behind the
headlines.

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,400
Forget the staged press
conferences.

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,920
This is where money is moved,
power is traded, and the global

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,280
chess board is reset before you
even know the game has begun.

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,680
Picture this, the Swiss Alps,
breathtaking in silent an

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,720
illusion of stability.
But step inside Davos and it's a

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,760
different world.
Motorcades glide through the

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,800
snow covered streets carrying
billionaires, prime ministers

25
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,880
and tech moguls.
Security is everywhere.

26
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:46,280
Earpieces, bulletproof SUVs,
helicopters circling above.

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Even the air feels charged.
Everyone here knows the stakes.

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Deals worth trillions are being
whispered in private suites.

29
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,000
The world's largest banks,
sovereign wealth funds, AI

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Titans.
They're all here not to follow

31
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,960
the rules to rewrite them.
Inside the Congress Center, the

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,320
energy is electric.
The corridors are lined with

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,080
banners rebuilding trust, a
laughable message when you

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280
realize what's actually
happening.

35
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,960
CE OS, hedge fund managers and
world leaders huddle inside

36
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,960
rooms, finalizing deals that
will determine who wins and who

37
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,080
gets left behind.
And then it happens.

38
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,960
The screens flicker on.
The room goes silent.

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Trump appears live from the US,
his expression unshaken, his

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,960
words cutting through the
tension.

41
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
America comes first, Trump
declares.

42
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,880
No more globalism, no more trade
deals that weaken us.

43
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,560
The era of America's economic
surrender is over.

44
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,440
The impact is immediate.
Some leaders nod.

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Others shift uncomfortably.
And just like that, the entire

46
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,120
global economic order tilts.
The speculation ends.

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,360
Trump's new tariffs on Canada,
Mexico and China are now a

48
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,880
reality in Davos.
It's Ground Zero for what

49
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440
happens next.
Max The moment Trump's speech

50
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,000
ended, the real conversations
began.

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,200
Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau was seen in urgent talks

52
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400
with his trade advisors, already
strategizing Canada's

53
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600
countermeasures.
China's vice premier Deng Xua

54
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Xiang, my status, I don't know.
I've seen silent on camera.

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,040
But behind the scenes, sources
say Beijing is preparing its

56
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,160
next move.
And let's talk about the

57
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,680
financial world.
Asterisk, asterisk.

58
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,680
JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon,
Blackrock's Larry Fink,

59
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Microsoft's Satya Nadella.
Asterisk, asterisk, all here.

60
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,400
They're corporations standing at
the crossroads of an economic

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,720
war.
This isn't just policy, it's a

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,400
financial battlefield and you
need to be paying attention.

63
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,800
This isn't just about tariffs.
It's about the collapse of

64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,800
globalization as we know it.
If America turns inward, if

65
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,840
China retaliates, if Europe
fractures under economic

66
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,960
uncertainty, then what happens
next?

67
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,519
Who rises, who falls?
And more importantly, how do you

68
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,120
prepare this week?
We break it all down.

69
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,120
The economic warfare unfolding
between the US, China and its

70
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,320
closest allies, the AI arms race
that could decide the next

71
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,560
global superpower, and the
billionaires quietly positioning

72
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,560
themselves for what's coming
next.

73
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,160
If you think Davos is just about
big speeches and polite panels,

74
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,600
you're wrong.
The stakes have never been

75
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,880
higher.
The question is, Are you ready

76
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
for what's coming?
And if you want to stay ahead of

77
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,240
the curve, don't just listen.

Because in a world of

81
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,600
uncertainty, information isn't
just power, it's survival.

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Sophia, President Trump's latest
tariffs, 25% on key imports from

83
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,120
Canada in Mexico and 10% on a
range of goods from China,

84
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,960
officially take effect on
February 4th, 2025.

85
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760
This isn't just a policy shift,
it's a wake up call.

86
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,280
For decades we've let other
countries exploit America

87
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,880
through trade loopholes, unfair
subsidies and supply chain

88
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760
manipulation.
That ends now.

89
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,880
These tariffs are about
protecting American jobs,

90
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480
American industries and American
dominance.

91
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,360
And if Canada, Mexico and China
don't like it, they'll have to

92
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,240
learn to play fair.
Max, I get the idea of standing

93
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,400
up for American industry, but
let's talk about the fallout.

94
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,360
These tariffs aren't happening
in a vacuum.

95
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:59,880
Canada has already retaliated
with their own economic counter

96
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,720
strike.
Mexico is following China.

97
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,680
They've been quiet for now, but
make no mistake, they will

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,080
respond.
And when that happens, we could

99
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,960
be looking at a global trade war
that spirals out of control.

100
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Good.
It's about time someone stood up

101
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,720
to them.
For too long we've let these

102
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880
countries dump cheap products
into our markets, undercut our

103
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,080
workers and manipulate trade
deals.

104
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400
What's the alternative?
Just roll over and let the US

105
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,320
keep getting exploited.
The alternative, Max, is not

106
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,240
blowing up the system overnight.
You want to talk about America

107
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,800
First, let's talk about American
consumers, because they are the

108
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520
ones who will pay for these
tariffs.

109
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,280
Prices on everyday goods will
skyrocket.

110
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Companies will struggle to
adjust their supply chains.

111
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Inflation will tick higher.
And for what?

112
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,680
So we can play a game of
economic brinkmanship with our

113
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,880
closest allies.
Allies Canada and Mexico have

114
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,120
been taking advantage of the US
for decades.

115
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,400
China.
They've been running a rigged

116
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
game against us since day one.
Trump is doing what should have

117
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280
been done years ago.
If that means a few tough

118
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840
months, fine.
In the long run, this

119
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,560
strengthens the US economy.
A few tough months Max.

120
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280
You're acting like this is a
short term squeeze.

121
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,840
It's not.
Major industries are already

122
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,640
feeling the heat.
Look at manufacturing, auto

123
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,680
production, agriculture.
They are all on edge.

124
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,720
And let's not forget, Wall
Street markets hate uncertainty.

125
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640
If this spirals, the stock
market could tank, investors

126
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,880
will flee and job losses will
follow.

127
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,840
And then what?
Then we rebuild Sophia, we bring

128
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,920
jobs back to America, we stop
relying on foreign manufacturing

129
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,640
and start making things here
again.

130
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000
That's the entire point.
Trump is forcing the US to

131
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,040
reset, to stand on its own 2
feet.

132
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680
This isn't destruction, it's
rebirth.

133
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040
That's a great speech, Max.
But let's be realistic.

134
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200
US manufacturing doesn't
magically come back overnight.

135
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,440
These supply chains took decades
to build, tearing them down in a

136
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,600
matter of months.
That's chaos.

137
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Companies won't just come home
because Trump tells them to.

138
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,000
They'll move to Vietnam, to
India, to anywhere else that's

139
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,280
cheaper.
The US isn't the only player in

140
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
the game.
That's exactly why we need to

141
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,640
play hardball.
The global order is shifting.

142
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,080
Sophia, you either lead or get
left behind.

143
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,480
These tariffs, they're a power
move.

144
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Trump is drawing a line in the
sand.

145
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Either the world plays fair or
the US goes its own way.

146
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,760
And if we go too far on, if this
turns into a full blown trade

147
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,440
war that triggers the recession,
crushes industries and isolates

148
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,280
the US.
Max, this isn't just about

149
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Trump's power moves.
This is about real consequences

150
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440
for businesses, for workers, for
the global economy.

151
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,160
The question isn't whether the
world will blink, it's whether

152
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
we're making a move we'll
regret.

153
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Or maybe, just maybe, we're
finally making the move the

154
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,120
world will respect.
That's the difference, Sophia.

155
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,960
You see risk, I see strategy,
and the only way to win is to

156
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
make the world play by our
rules.

157
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,000
Sophia.
The reaction from the world was

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,880
predictable.
Canada slapped retaliatory

159
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,840
tariffs within hours of Trump's
announcement, Mexico followed

160
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,600
China.
They're still calculating their

161
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,360
response.
But let's be real, they won't

162
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440
stay silent for long.
The globalists are panicking

163
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,760
because for the first time in
decades, the US isn't rolling

164
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
over.
We're playing offense and that

165
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,120
terrifies them.
Playing offense, Max, we just

166
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520
triggered an economic standoff
with three of our biggest

167
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,000
trading partners.
Canada has already announced its

168
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,960
first wave of retaliatory
tariffs, specifically targeting

169
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,760
US agricultural exports.
Mexico has imposed new levies on

170
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,880
American steel and consumer
goods.

171
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
And China.
They haven't retaliated yet, but

172
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,600
Beijing is already signaling
that countermeasures are coming.

173
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,360
American companies that rely on
these markets are now stuck in

174
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,400
the crossfire.
This isn't just a negotiating

175
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,120
tactic.
It's an economic gamble with

176
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,800
massive risks.
Self sabotage Correction.

177
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,680
Canada and Mexico have been
riding on America's economic

178
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,880
hotels for years.
They need us more than we need

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,920
them.
They can posture all they want,

180
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,440
but when supply chains start
breaking down, when their

181
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,080
economies feel the pinch,
they'll come back to the table.

182
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,960
Trump is just accelerating the
inevitable.

183
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
That's a fantasy, Max.
Canada is already pivoting.

184
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,560
Trudeau is in talks with the EU
and China to expand trade

185
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,800
agreements without the US,
Mexico.

186
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,720
They're looking at South America
and Asia.

187
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,520
If we push too hard, the world
will simply move around us.

188
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840
The idea that America is
untouchable and trade is

189
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,080
outdated.
The global economy doesn't work

190
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,120
like that anymore.
And that's exactly the problem.

191
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,000
We've spent decades building
other economies at the expense

192
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,440
of our own China.
We allowed them to rig trade in

193
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,640
their favor.
Canada and Mexico.

194
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,720
We gave them sweetheart deals
while American jobs vanished.

195
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,400
What Trump is doing is forcing
them to rely on us again.

196
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,880
They don't have the
infrastructure to replace the

197
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280
US.
Overnight, they'll come crawling

198
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520
back.
You sound like someone gambling

199
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,520
with the entire U.S. economy.
Let's talk about China, because

200
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,400
that's the real wild card.
They're watching, waiting.

201
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Beijing has been stockpiling
resources, quietly cutting

202
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,200
dependence on the US and
deepening trade ties with the

203
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,760
BRICS nations.
If China goes all in on economic

204
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,080
retaliation, asterisk, asterisk
tariffs on Boeing, Apple, US

205
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,440
agriculture, asterisk, asterisk,
we could be looking at a full

206
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,400
scale economic war.
And China, they have the

207
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,360
patience to play the long game.
Let them try.

208
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,160
China's entire economy depends
on exports.

209
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Their manufacturing sector needs
the US market.

210
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,680
If they retaliate, they hurt
themselves.

211
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,480
The difference is Trump is
willing to play hardball and

212
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440
past presidents weren't.
China is used to weak US

213
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,880
leadership.
Now they have to face reality.

214
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,960
And what if they double down
instead?

215
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,800
What if they devalue the yuan to
counteract US tariffs?

216
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,960
What if they increase subsidies
to their industries to keep

217
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
exports competitive?
What if they make new trade

218
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
pacts with Europe and emerging
markets and create a system

219
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,320
where America is no longer the
center of global trade?

220
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120
You're assuming China will fold.
What if they don't?

221
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Then we adapt.
The goal isn't to destroy trade,

222
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,720
it's to reset it on America's
terms.

223
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840
If the world doesn't want to
play fair, we build our own

224
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,280
system.
Let the EU trade with China, Let

225
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Mexico try to replace us.
They'll come to regret it. the

226
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,520
US is still the world's largest
consumer market.

227
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,200
Without us, their economy
shrink.

228
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,440
Or the US shrinks Max.
The global economy isn't a 0 sum

229
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,480
game anymore.
If we push too hard, we don't

230
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,600
just hurt our rivals, we hurt
ourselves.

231
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,080
Corporations won't wait around
for tariffs to settle.

232
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,680
They'll shift production
elsewhere, move jobs offshore,

233
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:48,480
and America could lose its
dominance instead of reinforcing

234
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,000
it.
You say Trump is playing

235
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,400
offense.
What if he's just isolating us?

236
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,880
And what if he's redefining
global trade on our terms?

237
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,000
That's the risk, Sophia.
You can't win without a fight.

238
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Trump is forcing the world to
rethink trade.

239
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,360
And in the end, America will
come out stronger.

240
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,040
Sophia, let's face it,
globalization is a failed

241
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,680
experiment.
For decades, we were told that

242
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,120
open markets would lead to
economic prosperity, that free

243
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240
trade would create a stronger,
more interconnected world.

244
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,760
And what do we get?
American jobs ship overseas,

245
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120
foreign companies flooding our
markets with cheap goods, and a

246
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,760
system where the US carried the
weight of the global economy

247
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,680
while everyone else took
advantage.

248
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Trump is fixing that, and
honestly, it's about time.

249
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Fixing Max.
He's dismantling decades of

250
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,440
economic progress.
Globalization isn't some failed

251
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,920
experiment.
It's the reason economies have

252
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,240
expanded, why industries have
thrived, why technology has

253
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,120
advanced at lightning speed.
Do you think Silicon Valley

254
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,800
exists in a vacuum?
Without global supply chains,

255
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200
without open markets, the tech
revolution doesn't happen.

256
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,160
What Trump is doing, it's
economic isolationism.

257
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,440
And history proves it doesn't
work.

258
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,360
Doesn't work.
Sophia, do you remember the Rust

259
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,280
Belt?
Do you remember what happened to

260
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Detroit, Pittsburgh.
Cleveland?

261
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680
These cities were the backbone
of American industry, and

262
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,360
globalization hollowed them out.
Factories closed, jobs vanished,

263
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,640
towns collapsed.
And for what?

264
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040
So that corporations could
maximize profits by sending

265
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,160
production to China?
That's the progress you're

266
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,120
defending.
Yes, globalization caused

267
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,440
disruptions, but it also created
new industries, new wealth, new

268
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,880
opportunities.
Do you think Amazon, Tesla, or

269
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,520
Apple would exist without
international trade?

270
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Without open markets, the US
economy doesn't let it falls

271
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,000
behind.
What happens when companies stop

272
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,360
investing here?
When other nations leap ahead in

273
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,760
tech, finance, and innovation?
You think closing borders makes

274
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,240
America strong?
It makes us irrelevant.

275
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,560
You sound like one of those
Davos elites who thinks the

276
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,440
global economy is more important
than the people living in it.

277
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,840
America's strength comes from
independence from self-reliance.

278
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Globalization created a
dependent America, dependent on

279
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,040
China for manufacturing,
dependent on the Middle East for

280
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,920
oil, dependent on Europe for
trade agreements.

281
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Now we're breaking free.
And if that means economic pain

282
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,840
in the short term, so be it.
Economic pain, Max, What you're

283
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,920
describing isn't short term
pain.

284
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,360
It's a fundamental shift that
could cripple the US economy.

285
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,280
You think companies will just
bring back jobs?

286
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,360
That America will suddenly start
making everything domestically

287
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,440
again?
That's a fantasy.

288
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,080
Businesses will relocate to
Mexico, to India, to South

289
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Korea.
They'll move around the tariffs

290
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,079
and leave America behind.
You're underestimating American

291
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,640
resilience.
Trump's policies are forcing

292
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,800
companies to rethink their
strategies.

293
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520
Look at the incentives for
domestic production, the push

294
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,000
for energy independence, the
rise of manufacturing hubs in

295
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,760
the South and Midwest.
We're bringing industries back

296
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,200
home.
You say businesses will leave.

297
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,640
They'll have no choice but to
stay.

298
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,400
No choice Max.
Business isn't loyalty, it's

299
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,640
profit.
If companies can make goods

300
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,240
cheaper elsewhere, they will.
You can slap on tariffs, you can

301
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,960
force trade restrictions, but in
the end the market moves where

302
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720
the money flows.
You think Wall Street cares

303
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,680
about patriotism?
They care about the bottom line.

304
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,600
And that's the problem, Sophia.
The economy should serve America

305
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,280
first, not corporate greed.
Wall Street might hate Trump's

306
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,520
tariffs, but Main Street?
They're tired of being ignored.

307
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,600
Maybe it's time we stopped
catering to multinational

308
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,400
corporations and started
rebuilding America from within.

309
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,160
Rebuilding America from within
is one thing, isolating it is

310
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,040
another.
We live in a world where supply

311
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,680
chains are intertwined, where
economies are connected.

312
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,120
No country operates alone
anymore.

313
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,560
If Trump pushes too hard, if the
US turns inward while China, the

314
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,160
EU and emerging economies move
forward together, we could wake

315
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,120
up one day and realize we're no
longer leading the world.

316
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,480
Or we wake up and realize we
never needed the world as much

317
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,040
as they needed us.
What's the bet Trump is making?

318
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
And personally, I think he's
right.

319
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,000
Sophia, let's cut through the
noise.

320
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,440
Davos 2025 was a wake up call.
The world thought Trump's

321
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,360
America First strategy was just
campaign talk.

322
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,320
But now it's reality.
These tariffs aren't just policy

323
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,320
shifts, they're a full scale
economic reset.

324
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,440
Some countries will adapt,
others they'll collapse under

325
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,960
the pressure.
And what happens if America is

326
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,760
the one that collapses?
Max, You're acting like Trump is

327
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,480
the only player in this game,
but the rest of the world isn't

328
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,720
sitting still.
China is already negotiating new

329
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,760
trade alliances with Europe.
The EU just announced fast track

330
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,880
trade talks with Canada and
Mexico.

331
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,840
If they all pivot away from the
US, we don't just lose leverage,

332
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,160
we lose relevance.
You're underestimating American

333
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,080
power.
Globalization made countries

334
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,520
comfortable with a weak America.
Now they have to adjust to a

335
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,720
strong one.
And the biggest winner?

336
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,400
US manufacturing companies are
already scrambling to rethink

337
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,960
supply chains, investing in
domestic production.

338
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,320
This is a long term win.
Max, there is no long term win

339
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,480
if markets crash first.
The Dow plunged over 1500 points

340
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,360
after Trump's tariff
announcement.

341
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Investors are nervous.
Businesses hates uncertainty and

342
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800
right now.
That's all we're offering.

343
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,440
The biggest losers in this
equation aren't foreign

344
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,880
countries.
They're American companies

345
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,640
caught in the crossfire.
Short term market jitters don't

346
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,440
mean failure.
Wall Street panicked when Trump

347
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,360
first announced tariffs in 2018,
and guess what?

348
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,240
The economy boomed.
The stock market will adjust,

349
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,080
but if we keep letting foreign
competitors run over us, we lose

350
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,600
everything.
Foreign competitors, foreign

351
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,000
markets.
Max, let's talk about the

352
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,800
winners you're ignoring Davos
2025 made one thing clear.

353
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,880
Global power is shifting.
The big discussions weren't just

354
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,560
about trade.
AI, automation and climate

355
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,400
policies were at the center of
the summit.

356
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,000
While we are busy escalating
tariff fights, the EU is

357
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,080
finalizing major clean energy
agreements, China is expanding

358
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,560
BRICS trade routes, and the
Middle East is securing new

359
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,200
commodity deals without US
involvement.

360
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,680
The world isn't standing still,
Max.

361
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,880
They're adapting fast, and if
we're not careful, America will

362
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,120
be the one left behind.
So you're telling me China's

363
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,800
winning even though their
economy is slowing, their debt

364
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,640
is skyrocketing, and they still
need US exports?

365
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,280
The fact that Beijing has to
scramble to find alternatives

366
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,080
proves one thing.
Trump's tariffs are working.

367
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Working for who?
Because if you ask the EU,

368
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,760
they'll tell you the biggest
winners of Davos 2025 weren't

369
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,560
the US or China, but Europe.
While we're busy fighting trade

370
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,680
wars, Europe is positioning
itself as the new leader of

371
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,640
global free trade.
You think Trump is making

372
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,120
America stronger?
He might just be making the EU

373
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,600
the world's new economic
powerhouse.

374
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,760
You're giving Europe too much
credit.

375
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,920
They're a bureaucratic mess.
Without the US, they don't have

376
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,840
the economic muscle to lead
global trade.

377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,960
The second they need military
backing, who do they call?

378
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,240
America.
They can pretend they don't need

379
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,160
us, but the moment things get
rough, they always come back.

380
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Asterisk, Asterisk, Maybe, but
there's one more wild card we

381
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,560
haven't talked about.
Asterisk.

382
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,920
Asterisk.
US tech companies, a full

383
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,680
Google, Tesla, Microsoft,
they're some of the biggest

384
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,480
players in the global economy,
and they hate these trade wars.

385
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Apple depends on China.
Tesla relies on Mexico.

386
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,720
If these tariffs keep
escalating, even America's

387
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,680
biggest companies might start
pulling away from the US.

388
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,960
What happens then Max?
Then they adapt, just like

389
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
everyone else.
Companies follow incentives.

390
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:48,120
Trump is reshaping those
incentives to bring business

391
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:50,760
back home.
Will some companies resist?

392
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,360
Sure.
But in the end, they'll go where

393
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,040
the money is.
And if that means staying in the

394
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,360
US, they'll do it.
Or they'll move to friendlier

395
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,720
markets.
America isn't the only economic

396
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,720
hub anymore.
We keep acting like companies

397
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,520
have no choice but to stay, but
if they find a better deal

398
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,360
elsewhere, they will leave.
And if they do, America doesn't

399
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,280
just lose businesses, it loses
leadership.

400
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,640
You keep talking about
leadership like it's something

401
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840
given, not taken.
Trump isn't waiting for

402
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,160
permission.
He's forcing the world to play

403
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,000
on America's terms.
That's leadership, Sophia.

404
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,600
And when the dust settles, we'll
see who's still standing.

405
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,400
Sophia Let's talk big picture.
the US is still the world's

406
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,200
dominant economy, and no matter
how much China, Russia or the EU

407
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,440
pretend otherwise, they still
need US bricks.

408
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,120
It's a weak alliance, the EU.
They can't lead anything without

409
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:51,480
American backing.
People act like Trump's trade

410
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,000
policies are pushing the world
away, but in reality, they're

411
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,160
forcing the world to recognize
that America is still in charge.

412
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,840
In charge of what, Max?
Let's be real.

413
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,160
Global economic power is
shifting.

414
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,600
BRICS is expanding.
The EU is signing more trade

415
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,360
deals without the US.
You think these countries need

416
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,520
us, But they're already
preparing for a future without

417
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,720
America at the center.
And guess what?

418
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040
That future is coming faster
than Yeek.

419
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,840
Come on, Sophia Bricks, a real
threat.

420
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,360
It's just a loose collection of
corrupt economies with competing

421
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,360
interests.
Russia and China hate each

422
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,880
other.
Brazil and India don't trust

423
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920
either of them.
It's a fragile alliance at best.

424
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,320
And the EU.
They're too slow, too

425
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,200
bureaucratic.
Without the US military backing

426
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,120
their security, they're a paper
tiger.

427
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,440
That paper tiger is cutting
trade deals at record speed.

428
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760
The EU just signed a major
energy deal with the Middle

429
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,400
East, bypassing the US.
Commodities trading is shifting.

430
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,640
China and Russia are ramping up
efforts to trade in their own

431
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,560
currencies, weakening the
dollar's global dominance.

432
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,320
This isn't some theoretical
shift, Max.

433
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,400
It's happening right now.
The more aggressive the US gets,

434
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,120
the more incentive countries
have to create an alternative.

435
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,600
And yet, despite all of this,
the US economy is still the

436
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,560
strongest in the world.
The dollar is still the world's

437
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,080
reserve currency.
American innovation still leads

438
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,040
in tech, finance and defense.
Let's not pretend like China and

439
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,360
Russia are suddenly economic
masterminds.

440
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,760
They're struggling.
Russia is sanctioned into the

441
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,120
ground.
China's growth is slowing.

442
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,040
The idea that BRICS is replacing
the US?

443
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,240
Laughable.
You're missing the long game,

444
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,560
Max.
The reason BRICS is dangerous

445
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,960
isn't because it's perfect.
It's because it's growing.

446
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,760
More countries are lining up to
join Saudi Arabia, the UAE,

447
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,640
Argentina.
They see where global power is

448
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,480
shifting.
If enough nations move away from

449
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,280
the dollar, if they trade in
their own currencies, the US

450
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,800
loses leverage.
The world stops needing us, and

451
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,800
that that's real power loss.
The second the dollar weakens,

452
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,240
the entire global financial
system starts to change.

453
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,600
You think countries are going to
dish the dollar overnight?

454
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Sophia, be serious.
The global financial system runs

455
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,560
on U.S. banking and investment.
No country trusts China's

456
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,120
currency.
Russia a financial pariah, the

457
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,200
euro weak compared to the
dollar.

458
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,920
These nations can talk all they
want about moving away, but when

459
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,040
things go bad, they still run to
American markets.

460
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:51,280
The dollar isn't just currency,
it's stability.

461
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,560
For now.
But let's Fast forward five

462
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,760
years, Max.
If BRICS keeps expanding, if

463
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,880
trade keeps shifting, if
alternative financial systems

464
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,960
emerge, we could wake up to a
world where America isn't

465
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,080
calling the shots anymore.
That's not fear mongering,

466
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,520
that's reality.
It doesn't happen overnight, but

467
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,280
once it starts, it's hard to
stop.

468
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,040
And what if BRICS nations begin
buying less U.S. debt?

469
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,920
What happens then Max?
And here's reality for you.

470
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:29,880
Power isn't given, Sophia.
It's taken the US is forcing the

471
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,040
world to recognize our
dominance.

472
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:38,040
Tariffs, sanctions, energy
policies, it's all part of the

473
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,960
game. the US isn't fading.
It's making the world play by

474
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,600
our rules.
And if they want to challenge

475
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,920
us, they'll regret it.
Or we're forcing the world to

476
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,760
rewrite the rules without us.
If we keep ushing allies away,

477
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,240
if we keep acting like America
is the only game in town, we

478
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,560
might wake U one day and realize
the game moved on without us and

479
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,320
by the time we figure it out
it'll be too late.

480
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,320
So this is where we are.
Sophia Davos 2025 has shown one

481
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,680
thing loud and clear.
The world is adjusting to a

482
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,080
stronger, more aggressive
America.

483
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,520
Trump's tariffs, his trade
policies, his America First

484
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,200
strategy, it's all part of a
bigger shift.

485
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,760
We are no longer playing the
game by globalist rules.

486
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,640
We are setting the terms.
Whether it's trade, technology

487
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,160
or military power, the US is
still the dominant force.

488
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,960
And all this talk about China
bricks and the EU replacing us.

489
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,480
It's fantasy.
Fantasy Max It's reality.

490
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,640
The world isn't waiting for the
US anymore.

491
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,680
Bricks is expanding.
The EU is cutting deals at

492
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,360
record speed, supply chains are
shifting and countries are

493
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,200
looking for ways to bypass US
dominance.

494
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,320
The idea that we can bully the
world into submission isn't

495
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,000
strength, it's arrogance.
And arrogance has consequences.

496
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,640
You keep saying shifting,
adapting, but let's be real,

497
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,280
Sophia. the US economy is still
the largest in the world.

498
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,840
The dollar is still the reserve
currency.

499
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,400
American innovation still leads
in AI, biotech and finance.

500
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,680
We are the center of global
commerce, and no amount of EU

501
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,720
trade deals or BRICS summits can
change that.

502
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,000
The world still needs us.
For now.

503
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
But power doesn't just
disappear.

504
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,840
It shifts.
And the warning signs are

505
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440
everywhere.
Countries are finding

506
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,440
alternatives.
China and Russia are stockpiling

507
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,320
gold, expanding energy trade and
creating parallel financial

508
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,400
systems.
If we keep isolating ourselves,

509
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,640
if we keep pushing allies away,
the world will keep building

510
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,840
without us.
In one day, America won't be the

511
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,520
first call anymore.
And when that day comes, Sophia,

512
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,000
we'll see who really holds the
cards because all of these

513
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,360
countries, China, the EU breaks
nations.

514
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
They still operate in a system
we created.

515
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,880
They still rely on our markets,
our technology, our military

516
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,720
power.
They can talk all they want

517
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,880
about breaking free, but in the
end, the US still decides the

518
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200
game.
Unless we overplay our hand,

519
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,920
that's the real risk.
Max Trump is gambling with

520
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,400
America's dominance, assuming
that we can strong arm the world

521
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,520
into submission.
But if we push too far, if we

522
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,080
spark a true global realignment,
we might wake up to a world

523
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,240
where America isn't just
challenged.

524
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,960
We might wake up to a world
where America is just another

525
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,760
player, not the leader.
Or we wake up to a world where

526
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,120
America finally gets the respect
it deserves.

527
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,120
Trump is taking risks, yes, but
calculated risks.

528
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,120
We're forcing the world to
acknowledge that America isn't a

529
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,680
passive player anymore.
And in the end, the strongest

530
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,880
economy, the strongest military,
the strongest country always

531
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,280
comes out on top.
Reality.

532
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,480
Or it's the beginning of a new
reality where the US is no

533
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,160
longer the automatic winner.
History has seen dominant

534
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,800
empires fall before Max, and
when they do, they never see it

535
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,800
coming.
Then let's make sure we're the

536
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,920
exception, Sophia, because one
thing's for certain, the game is

537
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,760
changing.
And if Trump has his way,

538
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,520
America won't just survive it.
We'll own it.

539
