l. I didn't make my accurate prediction because I have a degree in economics because all the people who were wrong also had a degree in economics or a lot of them did. So having that degree had no use whatsoever for the prediction. You know what my prediction was based on? Feeling. And here's the feeling. The feeling was that human energy had been bottled up by the pandemic. Energy flowing. That's a good way to know what's going to happen.

For example in 2016 when the energy flowed to Trump other people said that's so much negative energy there's no way that's going to work out for Trump. Whereas I said it's energy. You don't understand what Trump's doing. He can manipulate the energy to his use. And then he did. So one of the frames I like to put on things — and there's always a variety of ways to look at anything — you could look at it historically and you get the wrong answer. You could look at it from an economics frame and they got the wrong answer. Or you could look at it from an energy frame which is what I did.

So I said too much bottled up energy. When that gets released you're going to see more economic benefit than you imagine just because there's more energy. Energy and economics basically the same thing. So the energy filter, maybe I got lucky. Maybe I got lucky. But I'm telling you what I used in case it's ever useful to you in this situation.

Well Ye says he's going to build a city. It's going to be somewhere in the Middle East. I don't think that's been specified yet. It's going to be enormous, you know like the size of New York or something. And he's looking to hire designers and architects and builders and people who would actually build his city. A massive city.

Now why do you think he's choosing the Middle East? Would that seem to you like maybe the last place you'd want to do it? All right you guessed correctly that Ye has no hope of getting anything done anywhere ever if it relies on any Jewish people helping him because he's just burned that bridge. But he may be paying attention to this whole Hamas situation and he's realized that if he builds it in the Middle East he can work exclusively with people who don't mind whatsoever what he said about Jewish people.

So it's kind of genius and crazy and wrong but right at the same time. It's the usual Ye thing. You can't even wrap your head around it. It's like okay this is either the best thing ever or super racist. I can't really tell. Or maybe both. Could be both. Anyway that's going to be interesting.

I do think desert is the right place to build a city from scratch because you've got unlimited solar power if you could just say the one thing we're going to nail is solar power. And then I don't know if you've seen all the new inventions that I mentioned for water. There are a bunch of inventions now that suck water out of the dry air so you can put it right in the middle of the desert and it would give you many gallons of fresh water just sitting there. It just produces water out of the air.

Now that technology didn't exist 10 years ago but at the moment you could have all the water you need for your own home just with a little device. Somebody says it's debunked. Well I'll tell you what, it's not debunked that there have been major technological developments in desalinization and that desalinization is economical in the Middle East now. Imagine you had a huge so
