00:00Listen, we talked about Venezuela. Let's talk about Argentina.

00:04Why is Donald Trump so invested in Argentina?

00:08Well, here's one you can win by throwing money at it.

00:10You don't need to get anyone on the ground. You don't need to bomb any boats.

00:12You can literally just win it by throwing cash at this, and a lot of cash as well.

00:1640 billion US dollars into this.

00:18It's involving things like loans, swaps, guarantees,

00:21and having a like-minded leader who is pretty much a bosom buddy of Donald Trump

00:28in the seat of power strengthens that US influence in South America,

00:32which, if we're judging by what we just spoke about for the last seven minutes,

00:35is very important to this administration.

00:37It's a proof of concept. It's economic. It's growth. It's ties.

00:42It's everything, and it's natural resources once again.

00:46But we've seen the tariffs across the world

00:48and how they have been so fundamentally damning to the US in some ways

00:52but also have been beneficial, according to Donald Trump.

00:54So he's now saying that this 40 billion that he's put in to this election,

00:58in order for him to have basically somebody who he knows very, very well in there,

01:03is a guarantee, and it means that it's given economic leverage to the United States.

01:06And he said it's already paid off dividends.

01:09So I think what he's seeing here is creating a South America,

01:12which is able to give an influx of resources, natural and otherwise,

01:16to North America, to Donald Trump's America.

01:18And if we couldn't get Canada, let's go for the South.

01:21And again, I am speculating here that might not be what's happening.

01:24But it all seems to be coming together in that kind of a way, doesn't it?
