Why Politicians Fear This Deal More Than Russia

“If a single diesel deal can send Washington into hysterics, collapse a 15‑year anti‑dollar alliance, and expose how deeply politicians depend on fear to stay in power, maybe the real threat isn’t Russia or China—it’s the people pretending to protect you.” The uproar over Trump’s diesel agreement with Russia ignores the one fact no headline wants to touch: BRICS—the bloc built explicitly to weaken the U.S. dollar—just lost three of its founding members to deeper economic ties with Wash...

Show Notes

“If a single diesel deal can send Washington into hysterics, collapse a 15‑year anti‑dollar alliance, and expose how deeply politicians depend on fear to stay in power, maybe the real threat isn’t Russia or China—it’s the people pretending to protect you.”  
The uproar over Trump’s diesel agreement with Russia ignores the one fact no headline wants to touch: BRICS—the bloc built explicitly to weaken the U.S. dollar—just lost three of its founding members to deeper economic ties with Washington. Brazil is flipping politically, India is aligning strategically, Russia just entered a deal that stabilizes American energy markets, and China is suddenly standing alone on its anti‑dollar island. While media outlets scream “betrayal,” the geopolitical board shows something else entirely: a slow‑motion checkmate that strengthens the U.S. economy and cripples the only coordinated effort to dethrone the dollar. Meanwhile, Canada—desperate to blame Trump for its own affordability crisis—missed its chance to supply Europe with LNG, taxes diesel into oblivion, and pretends this global shift is someone else’s fault. When leaders attack the solution instead of the problem, it’s not strategy—it’s self‑preservation.

Media Blames Trump For Ukraine

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Oh David. A Western turn and he's back, at least for now. But I'll tell you, Stuart, while while you're way, I love the way the media cannot figure out its ass from its head at times. And one one of those things is this whole war with Ukraine. So first they blame Trump because he claimed he could have finished this war and come to a conclusion in 10 seconds. And maybe Trump overplayed his card on that one. But there's no blame on Putin. It's only Trump. Because we got to blame Trump for everything that's wrong. Everything that goes wrong around the world has got to be Trump's fault somehow, somehow. And the war with Ukraine is just a perfect example, Stuart. But you know, hey, guess what? Trump is responsible for the war that Biden let happen. Nobody remembers that one, right? It was on this show that Stuart made a call way back when. And we've seen food prices escalate. And we keep talking about that word diesel. Well, diesel people is a you you're you're

Diesel Prices And The Putin Deal

SPEAKER_00 1:10

hearing in the news that Trumpy made a deal with the enemy. He made a Trump deal with good old Putin on diesel. Now, I'll give you a Canadian angle in just a second on that one, Stuart, because this one I want to bring into play. But this was this had less to do with Putin and more to do with saving America, Stuart. You had a great theory. I love it. And it's and based on what you just told me, it's probably damn right true. So, Stuart, let's educate our friends over here.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

All right. Thank you. All right, let's go. Number one, yes, David, we were right in February, you know, three, four weeks before the invasion, but it didn't start with uh Biden just as a side note. It actually started with Hussain Barack Obama. Anyways, everybody in this country is so busy screaming Trump sold our allies. That's not of the notice. He was just took the legs out from underneath the only economic alliance on earth that was built to specifically kill the US dollar. Let that sink in before you get mad at me, because in case you're this hardcore Democrat, I don't want you to get mad at me yet because I may have a reason for you not to hate Donald J. Trump. Remember, Trump sold out our allies. That's not one of them. Not one of them has noticed that he took the legs out of the only group that wanted to destabilize the US dollar. That's the headlines today. That's the noise. Nobody's asking the actual question, betrayal of what exactly? Let's get some history,

BRICS And The De-Dollarization Play

SPEAKER_01 3:22

my favorite. 15 years ago, four countries, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, looked at the American dollar sitting on top of the entire global financial system and decided to build something to break it. That's not my opinion. That was literally why BRIC was formed.

First as an economic thesis back in 2001, then as an actual coordinated block with summits in 2009. Their entire mission statement over the next decade and a half reduced reliance on the US dollar, de-dollarization. Listen to this word, de-dollarization. Setting oil trades in rubles and in rumbles in one.

In anything that isn't a greenback with a dead president's face on it. Three of the four founding members of BRIC, Brazil, India, and Russia, now have deepening economic entanglements with Washington instead of deepening de-dollarization with Beijing, thanks to Donald J. Trump. That leaves one founding member standing alone in the anti-dollar island.

The People's Republic of China. The one country has sunk more political capital into killing the dollar dominance than any other nation on earth, just watched its three oldest partners drift back towards the exact same system. They spent 15 years trying to scheme and escape are back. Now, I want to be straight with this, with our audience, because here's the show deals in fact, not fantasy.

I'm laying out the strategic pattern. But you don't have to believe in the secret master plan to see the board. You have to look at where the pieces are sitting today, October 14th, 2026, versus where Bricks wanted them sitting in 2009. The media wants you angry about an ally betrayal.

Fine, be angry. But ask yourself why the one country throwing a fit about America getting cozy with Russia in the same country losing its last anti-dollar wingman on earth. That's not a betrayal. That's ultimately checkmate in slow motion, and China knows what exactly whose board they're playing on now.

And let me tell you something. I was in a car for an hour and a half with the former vice chair of the NASDAQ. Let me tell you something. The conversation was vibrant when I brought up this political science little experiment.

And I gotta tell you, before you walk away from this podcast, let's see what the next couple

Checkmate Theory And Open Questions

SPEAKER_01 6:40

of weeks show. David, I want to hear your take because you know there's a few things, as I always like to bring up at the end. Ottawa's chair, dollar strengthening Russia deal, actually help or hurt Canada, sitting right next to the world's biggest dollar economy, but also sells energy into a lot of the same markets that Russia does. Canada quietly benefited from BRICS losing stream, or does it complicate the trade position of Canada globally? Your cover, the international beat. Is there any evidence that China's reacting to this isolation? Is Beijing posturing more again towards Brazil and India unchanged? What's the pushback? What do you see, David? Because the big picture, if the dollar reasserts itself as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the global reserve currency because BRICS quietly just collapsed in broad daylight, who actually pees for that long-term price? The American consumer through continued deficit spending keeps financing the world? Or does discipline in Washington finally come to the rescue?

SPEAKER_00 8:04

I take

Canada’s LNG Miss And Double Standards

SPEAKER_00 8:05

it you you you you missed Monday's uh podcast, my friend, because I commented on the lack of concern by our prime minister about our friend South of the Border. Our Prime Minister is playing one wonderful little, you know, sob card, if you will, the crying card, the whimpering card. America is bad. Trump is bad.

Everything Trump does is pretty much bad. But today, folks, ladies and gentlemen, the Canada is sitting there going, oops, we did it again. We missed out on another golden opportunity. Canada has had a chance to be a great supplier to Europe on LNG, like natural gas.

And Trudeau said, no, we're not going to pump more because of the environment. He was catering to the green people. And we missed out on a golden opportunity. And we Europeans ran to Russia during the Ukrainian war, and no one said boo about it because they had no choice.

Now Trump to destabilize an economic superpower that does a deal like that, rattles the world. And now the finger once again points at Trump, including our prime minister. How dare he? How dare Trump side with Putin?

I'm fascinated by the double standard, Stuart. Because politicians do not, it doesn't matter what they've said in the past. It doesn't matter what they've what they've what they you know campaigned on. It's that moment.

It's that moment in the sun, Stuart, that they get from the media. And if the media is on their side, as is in Canada, then Mark Kearney can say whatever he wants. I'm no economist, I'm Stuart. I'm at best salesman by trade and I love what I do.

And I understand international politics because I work with companies to go into new markets. And one of the questions is we always ask is what's the story of the economics of that market? And you know what, Stuart? In this case, if the trade deal that was conducted was to help Americans, I'm trying to understand once again where your politicians are sitting.

Do they not care that Americans are paying a ridiculous amount of money for diesel? That in impact, the diesel is the engine that that's for everything. We haven't reached a point yet where we have electric trucks on the road. We're just starting with that.

So all those trucks that are carrying your food, your necessities, need diesel. And if the price of diesel continues to skyrocket, we're all in pain. So what exactly does Trump do? He makes a deal.

And what does his opposition say? He went to bed with the enemy. But no one said that about Europe. They went to bed with the enemy.

So it's fascinating, Stuart. This is this is what I always say, is why I think the media is full of shit, okay? Is that they don't want to tell you the truth. They need to varnish it so that you can believe what they say, that they're right and you're wrong.

That if this was truly a way to help Americans and to destabilize BRICS, which I know people in Brazil and India are like, it's a little bit of a sticky situation. If you're a lefty in Brazil today, you're pissed. Your government is about to topple. It's gonna go conservative, it absolutely is gonna bombshell you.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

South Africa was South Africa, all of North Africa, South Africa has been destabilized because of more geopolitical religious backing, right? Because of the war-torn North African uh region with the 15 Muslim uh countries that are are are completely in ruins, you know, from Somalia all the way up. I mean South Africa

Culture, Borders, And Coexistence

SPEAKER_01 12:20

is just on the other side there. I mean, it listen, the world's in turmoil, and this let's get along culture outside of Judeo-Christian values that this country was set across, as well as Canada. You know, it's Canada, US, and Mexico based off Judeo-Christian principles. You know, the word coexist doesn't mean I have to tolerate everything.

It just means I gotta just let you do what you want to do as long as it fits within my legal framework. But the the people that are coming in that we're supposed to coexist with don't want the same framework that's already here. They want their framework that's over there. And you know, isolationists is the next thing I'm gonna get called, and a racist is some next gonna be called, and I'm neither of the two.

I'm just a realist. I don't want Sharia law in the United States of America. I don't think you wanted David in Canada, I don't think they want it in Mexico, I don't think they want it in Brazil, I don't know where they want it, but they don't want it here. So why are we being forced to have to pivot to quote coexist?

What Donald Trump did with this oil deal or diesel deal, literally, was to destabilize the largest threat against the United States. You know, Mitt Romney was someone people may not recall. He's not a favorable Republican these days, the Mormon out of Utah, who's not even liked by the Latter-day Saints, the LDS movement. But he properly in 2007 told the world our biggest problem is China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

It was only the globalist leaders like Obama and your current Carney and your previous Trudeau would tell you otherwise. But do not misunderstand me one bit. I'm very proud to be from North America, grew up, educated in Canada, and live today in the United States. I believe I live in a freer country today than I lived in Canada in yesteryear.

Canada, Scott, it's Achilles heel. And the question is, David, will your country finally find uh a new center?

Canada Politics And China’s Middle Powers

SPEAKER_00 14:52

Well, you you continue to you you you skirted the topic of today. And I'll but but I'll but I'll try to bring it back to what you what you said. The answer is no. And the answer is no, because the desire here for the politicians, at least the the party in power, Stuart, is to ally itself with anti-Trump.

Whoever is anti-Trump is on their side. So if Trump wakes up in the morning, and I know that even though, you know, Kearney did say that he is happy, he is satisfied that Trump created put this deal together, an energy deal between Ukraine and Russia, although I allegedly was broken this morning. You know, it's with gritted teeth that he says anything, Stuart. He has to.

But once again, our biggest trade partner to the South is we're just ignoring them. And that's the political movement, not the business community movement. It's the political movement, and the politicians here are hurting Canadians. Just like BRICS, China's trying to create a Canadian European Union of middle powers, as he called it, to destabilize the United States.

That's his goal, which is odd because Brookfield, his holding company, makes a shit ton of money in the United States. So out of chaos comes opportunity, he's creating for himself all this wealth, no problem. And please, ladies and gentlemen, call I dare you to challenge me on this because follow the trail. But when it comes up to this diesel deal, and I too was kind of like first reaction was like, You're doing a deal with Putin?

But lo and behold, Stuart, what you said made a lot of sense. And now I'm thinking, aha, why is it that oh, before I even asked the question, I knew the answer. My question was, why aren't others saying it? Well, it's simple because you can't give Trump a high five.

There's no way that the Democrats will give him a high five, there's no way the media will give him a high five. Europe hardly gives him a high five. But look who does? Argentina?

Look who else does? Stuart, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, all these South American countries are looking at Trump and going, that's what we want to ally with. If you want your country to prosper, sometimes you do deals with the devil. And please, guys, don't be hypocrites because 10 minutes ago with Joe Biden, you were mad that he went and he did have to do a deal with Saudi Arabia after they killed uh uh allegedly killed a journalist.

I love the hypocrisy, it depends on who's in government. Stuart, the the cost of oil was over $100 a barrel, more in during Obama's day than in both terms of Trump. But we're blaming Trump for the for disruption. Yesterday I spoke to someone who said, hey, you want to get re-elected?

You got to have a war. Because presidents get re-elected during wartime. But he's not gonna get re-elected because he can't. He can't.

So it's all about twisting truths, it's all about twisting messages. And if the fact is that Trump did a deal to A destabilize BRICS, but B to lower diesel prices, what the hell are you people like doing? Seriously. I have to get it.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

David, like I said, I think we're gonna come back to this episode in a couple of weeks when all of this gets vetted out in the
