So much has happened in the past few days and yet it keeps unraveling and in today's video I'm going to explain everything you need to know about the Strait of Hormuz, about what's going on with the United States and the economy of course as inflation picks up. You came here for the truth, so let me unveil that for you. It's important to understand what's happening right here. You've been hearing it and yes, over and over again we keep seeing this information but I want to get into things that you simply don't get elsewhere as well as the latest information beginning with this. We're looking at the oil price. Isn't it interesting that with all this craziness, all of this insanity crude oil has gone down? This is something that is really telling about not just oil but commodities in general. There's so much speculation in these markets. It is unbelievable. You have to understand that what price we see is the price they want us to have. They can send that price right down to the bottom if they want but they keep it up high because they can control economies like this. With everything that's going on the Strait of Hormuz, not just the Strait of Hormuz but other choke points as well, this has escalated tensions all over the place. Wall Street banks break records as Iran war drives trading boom. We have to start answering the question, asking the question first quid bono or who stands to gain? This right here is one interesting one. JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo reported more than $25 billion of profits in the first quarter. This comes at a time in which we've had so much volatility and what do the financial industry and you know all of the intermediaries, what do they love? They love volatility. It makes them rich. It sucks for you. It sucks for me but it's great for them. They reported the highest ever revenues from its trading business and net income for the bank that was second only to 2024. Yes. That's what they are getting. You, you get higher inflation. You have to go to the pump and pay significantly more. You the individual, your electricity prices continue to go up up and yet none of the good stuff seems to be going up. Iran threatens to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea unless the US lifts Hormuz blockade. They're saying, "No, no. Stop with the blockade or we're going to make it a lot worse. " The Red Sea. You have two choke points in Saudi Arabia that is on one side of this and they are bringing their stuff through but they're not the only one of course. Anything that comes through and needs to get to Europe has to go through these two choke points and this can disrupt not just oil but all kinds of different products that have to move through there and they do each and every day until the Houthis say, "Uh yeah, we're not going to allow that. " And that's what's happening right here and now. What about China blazingly blasted through the Strait of Hormuz with its US sanctioned tanker testing the naval blockade? That's right. You could see it right here blazingly sailing through. Now, what we know for sure is that things have changed. The proposal as I talked about in the last video is that the pathway in which the ships will be traveling through the Strait of Hormuz has changed. If I pause this right here, you see this is Larak. And before you would have to go like this at the very bottom here, this is Oman. And the ships would travel right around Oman and go down and through. Incoming and outgoing. But now they want a different path which is actually all the way up here around Larak and they have to come around. Now, both of that that's you know the in and out and this is funny because they have to actually be inspected by Iran. Big change. And so some are saying, "Hey, you're not allowed to do that. You can't do this. " But the territorial waters are basically either Oman or Iran in this case here and they're saying, "You know, you got to come through us. " So this is not good

for either side because you know this is causing tensions but perhaps they are doing this on purpose so that they can have a bargaining chip. That's right. Now, this is some cool stuff that I've added. I continue to add to my website and I wanted to show you this really quickly. You could see what's going on. Energy blockade, Strait of Hormuz escalation. If I click on this new feature, the supply chain integration, it's going to load up here and I'm going to be able to give you some really cool detail. In fact, I could zoom in right onto this. You could see. I hope you can see that. Uh global supply chains face perfect storm as Middle East conflict paralyzes energy arteries and US protectionism reconfigures trade routes. So there is a lot to that of course. You can see these here. Now what we can see on a deeper level goes all the way through. Look, I can see events for instance. There is many things that are happening. Um but if I go through, oh, looks like I broke that. Understand where oil comes to and from. I hope you could see this, oil's journey. You could see the Ghawar oil field, Saudi Arabia, the largest conventional oil field ever discovered. Ghawar has been producing since 1951 3. 8 million barrels per day. That's 4% of global supply from a single field. Saudi Aramco is the most profitable company in history. Okay. Now we go over and you could see the Strait of Hormuz, the world's choke point. This is a place in which we've seen in the news just recently obviously. Every day 21 million barrels of oil pass through this 21-mile strait, about 1/5 of the global consumption. Iran sits on the northern shore. All right? And you could see whenever tensions rise a mere threat of closing Hormuz sends oil prices spiking worldwide as it did. And then we go and take it a step further. Then we're looking at the Suez Canal. The 120-mile Suez Canal saves ships a 4,000-mile detour around Africa. About 12% of the global trade passes through here. When the Ever Given, you remember that ship that got stuck there? It blocked 9. 6 billion dollars worth of goods per day. There was some funky stuff going on there. Some fishy stuff I should say. The next is Europort refinery complex in Rotterdam. You see, looking at this it hosts the largest refinery complex in Europe. Crude oil from the Middle East, Russia, West Africa is refined here into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Europe is one of those that is heavily reliant, you could see, on oil imports, 90%. Then we have the US Gulf Coast, Houston, Texas. Over 50% of US refining capacity sits along the Texas Louis Louisiana coastline despite the shale revolution making um uh America's world's largest oil producer, US is still importing during this thing and then it makes it to the gas pump and that of course is the journey. Goes on and on. This is something that I built for the subscribers but I wanted to show that to you. And you could see things for example right here, energy. The US is actually producing 12. 9 million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia below that, Russia below that, Canada below. It's a huge producer of oil. It's got it everywhere it seems. Now, this is just connecting the world. I'm trying to explain this visually. I'm trying to give everybody an understanding in depth that you just don't get out there. it out there. It's something that we need to understand. Um you know, I could show you more if we look at the vessels that are here. I could scan the area and we'll see if we could pick anything up. By the way, this is a work in progress, my website. I'm trying to implement all these features and as I do, you know, things happen. This is of course really coming along as you can see there's so much depth to it. And I'm just going to show you. It will give you an idea of how many different vessels are out there right now and then we can look at it much more in depth. This is something that the subscribers get. Right here, you could see 484

vessels. And if we click into that, I can give a little bit more insight. If we look at this right here, try to zoom in, you can see for yourself. Active conflict in the Gulf region, as you know, energy blockade, that's right there, more news, and then what happens? What happens to all of these crude oil, natural gas, uh, companies like Exxon. This is all bullish. Things are moving in their favor, as well as their refined products, too, okay? And so this is just some depth to show you, to give you insight as to what you need to know about these areas, okay? There's a lot to it. I hope that helped to really explain things from a 30,000 ft view, or even this case, a lot more than that. And so you can, oh, there's some of the ships. So you can see actually, if I show you, clicking on any of those triangles actually gives you the ship itself. So I'm actually breaking down, so you could see each individual ship that is there, and locate what they're doing, where they're moving, and all that stuff. So that's actually part of the website, too. If you found this informative, I want you to give that thumbs up to support me. If you want to get on to the, uh, website, themoneygps. com, it's there. I've got free stuff, I've got articles, I've got the compass, I've got all kinds of free stuff for you. And at the same time, there's, um, people getting into the software. The software is worth approximately, uh, I got to do a new calculation because of all the new features, but I think it was at $450 a month if you took all different software, put it together, $450 a month. You go check what I'm charging for the software. This is a $450 software now. You see what I'm charging for that. I hope you'll appreciate this. All the members are loving it so far, and there's so much more to come. There is about 19 different features. This, what you're seeing, the supply chain, is one feature. There's 19 features so far. And all of these different things that I haven't even showed you a fraction of. Yeah. There are, uh, 19 of those features. So, anyway, that's it. If you want to support me, hit that thumbs up. I'll see you in the next one. Take care.
