## Resource

Yesterday I had Dan Herrin back on the podcast to talk about the insanity going on in financial markets and the insanity going on here in the US. He explained why he is bullish on energy and the pattern recognition on broader markets and the comparisons to 2000. We also covered some of the different problems facing the US and the changes that have happened since COVID. You can find Dan on Twitter , where he’s a very entertaining follow. Podcast Summary * Why he’s expecting issues in the oil market and why he’s very bullish on energy for the second half of the year. * The insider trading, fake headlines, and market manipulation that has become more obvious in recent months. * Trump’s path out of this mess, and the possibility of an export ban. * Why the broader stock market reminds him of 2000. * People acting different since COVID lockdowns here in the US, and how we seem to be fine with memory holing the entire series of events around COVID. * What Americans actually want from the Federal Government: no more forever wars and dropping the hammer on immigration. * The corrosive effects of the Kalergi plan and feminism on Western society. * Book Recommendation: Stranger to the Game by Bob Gibson.
