exploring spiritual journeys to find answers in uncertainty. is up, Conscious Monkeys? Welcome back to another episode of Traveling to Consciousness. As always, I'm your host, Clay Nkuteri. And in today's podcast, we have a whole, whole lot of news. A lot has happened since the last podcast episode. We have Justin Trudeau resigning as PM of Canada. Well, in a little bit. Trump wants to buy a couple countries and bring them together. He wants to rename a body of water, which I think is pretty wild. And then we also have some investment in America. have it. And then lastly, we're to be talking about nature and how nature is fighting back against those who wish to do her harm. So let's jump into all of this. Let's click a little preview of what we got in store for you today. So starting off, Justin Trudeau, Trudeau, Trudeau resigns as the prime minister of Canada. He will be technically still the prime minister until his party holds an election within their party to nominate someone to put them forth so that then they would run against Pierre Paul of air poly ever I hope I'm pronouncing his last name correctly, who would be like considered like their opposition. So I think it's interesting. I think it's very fascinating that we're seeing that unfold. It seems like a lot is going on right now. I don't know if you guys are paying attention to the energies of how these things are unfolding, but it seems like a lot is going on. And we're going to get into that as we go through this list. But I also find it very fascinating that this comes on the heels of Trump talking about how he wants to buy Canada and it feels even more real. It feels even more real. When Trump initially said it, everyone thought it was a joke. But hopefully if you remember the podcast, said, I think he actually is going to do it. Now we have people talking about how Canada is going to become the 51st state in a move that I think is very interesting. I, I'm going to stand here and say, you know, I, I support it. I think I support that. I support the idea of expanding the greatest country in the world because it's still will be its own sovereign state. Of course, there will be some federal laws that get applied to it. And honestly, the most important one being free speech. Cause I don't know if you remember, but Justin Trudeau targeted the working class, targeted the working class, the people he's supposed to represent. He targeted them whenever you had the truck drivers protesting all the mandates. and then the money got seized. they seized the government of Canada seized a lot of the funds and donations that were going to these truck drivers to support them. And they seized it. They started banning stuff. You you can find court cases where in Canada they made it essentially imprisonable by misgendering someone, which that's for a whole nother podcast. But the idea of free speech not being free. And I think that as just a cornerstone should be something that's spread across the world. And it does not exist in majority of countries. And speaking of the expansion of the United States, Trump once Denmark to relinquish control of Greenland. Trump claimed that it's for economic and security purposes and looking at it again, I'm inclined to agree with him. You know, the dude isn't a hundred percent. I've kind of gone down this and maybe it's a whole podcast for itself, but I probably agree with Trump on maybe like 65 to 75 % of his, uh, of his agenda. I think some of it doesn't include enough people, if that makes sense. I think that there are groups that are left out or marginalized. But if you take a step back and you know, but that's like the small, that's a whole, that's a whole podcast. That's another whole podcast on its own that I need to do research a little bit more research on just so I can have my facts straight. But just from gut instinct, where I'm at now, I'm probably aligned with Trump, maybe 70, 70%. It's like 65 to 75%. I'd have to go through all of his talking points and kind of say where I disagree. Cause I think he says a lot of things that are interesting, but goes about them the wrong way, which creates a different framing of the conversation. But to the task at hand, he wants to take control of Greenland, make Greenland maybe the 52nd state. Again, something that I would, I back, I support that honestly. I think that, you know, there's. 45, 55,000 people I think that live in Greenland. I think that it's a very powerful location if you want to talk about it from a national security perspective. If you want to talk about it from an economic purpose, it got developed. It's pretty developed as is, but if it got more developed, if we sent more people to live there, it's very beautiful. I've seen pictures. It's a very beautiful country. And something I want to briefly mention here, I'm going to talk about it a little bit at the end, but I want to be very clear. that even though I'm for the expansion of the United States, I believe the most important thing is that the people want it. The people of Canada want it. The people of Greenland want it. The people of any country that we expand into have to desire it. So I think that's like really a big question. Maybe it's a vote. should get put up to a vote at some point in that country. Hey, do you want to join America? The people vote on it. Say yes, no. If they say yes, maybe it's super majority. Maybe it's 50 percent. I don't know, we could get into the details later, but the point is that the people of that country have to want to join the United States. I don't think that this can be a top-down thing. I think it's fine if Trump wants to say, hey, I think they should join. What do the people think? It seems a little bit more aggressive as in like, we're just going to do it, which I think that would be a big mistake. I think that the people... people of these countries have to say, yes, we're tired of our government. We like the way the United States is governed. Let's go with them. So I want to be very clear about that before we get into this a little bit more. And I'll bring that up again, I'm sure, because I think that's like the most important thing whenever we're talking about the expansion of the United States is that the people have to want it. It's not about whether or not it makes sense from a Economic or national security perspective that does not matter if the people do not want it if it is not a desire By the will of the people who live in that country, then it should not be done And so getting back to our news, Trump was saying that he wanted Denmark to relinquish control of Greenland. And it was kind of funny because it triggered a response from Germany and France where some of their government officials were warning against this. And the reason I say it's funny is because they like America is the is their army. They talked about how like, NATO, this NATO, that it's like America is NATO. I don't. think they maybe this was just posturing, but the amount of money that gets dumped into the American military and not that it's, it should be that amount. I definitely think that number needs to come down. That's a whole nother conversation. Whenever we talk about NATO, but the amount of people, the amount of money, the amount of technology that Germany and France has combined compared to the United States is tiny. is very tiny. So it's like, You know, it's like a little kid coming up to an adult and saying, Hey, you're being mean. I'm going to fight you. I'm going to punch you. It's like, okay. Like it's kind of cute. It's like, all right. It's like, what are you going to do? Like, so I just thought that was a funny kind of little like asterisk here of them kind of trying to like say they'll do something. But, um, you know, I don't know. That's a very actually interesting. I'd have to look at how NATO is set up. Cause I don't think that I should look at, me pull that up. Um, member countries of NATO. Because I don't remember if Denmark is a member state. Let's see here. Okay. Yeah. So Denmark is a NATO state. And I guess they have control of Greenland. So I'd have to look a little bit more into like how the legal nature is there. But I think that's interesting that you now have inter fighting within NATO, which NATO in my opinion should have been disbanded years ago because the whole purpose of NATO was to prevent the spread of communism from the USSR, which the USSR Soviets no longer exist. Yes, Russia's there, but they're no longer communists. And so NATO should effectively be disbanded. Instead, we have our presidents saying that we need to expand. And that expansion is actually what has triggered more wars between essentially proxy wars between the United States and Russia. That's the reason for the Ukraine war. It's 100%. You have Kamala Harris, who went And basically said to Zelensky, Hey, we want you to join NATO when Ukraine isn't even like a potential NATO country because they're not a democracy, which is like the founding principle. They're not a capitalist society, which is a founding principle of what it means to be a NATO country. So first of all, they can't, they're not even allowed to join, but Kamala decided to have the big brains and go over there and say, Hey, you guys should join three days later, Russia invaded. because Russia kept telling them stop expanding NATO, stop expanding NATO. So it's like they literally are telling you, hey, we're going to go to war if you keep doing this. And we're like, ha ha. Okay. We want war. Not we, but you know, obviously Kamala wants war. Otherwise she wouldn't expand NATO. And that goes for all these other countries that joined essentially after like 1949. Um, there was a few that got in there and some of them I think got strong armed and some of them aren't like that. prevalent, if you will, of countries, but you know, you keep tapping on their door places like Poland, you keep tapping on the door of Russia and they're going to be like, okay, well, maybe we should invade. they take us seriously and I'm not condoning it. I think it's wrong, but it's like, stop throwing stones. Okay. We got to come together. We got to come together as a one people. And that also goes into why I support this expansion. of the United States is because we do have to come to come together. We have to become unified. We have to become united. So if that's under the United States of America, maybe there will be a name change there in the future. The United States of the world. We can be united. We no longer have enemies, right? There is no more Russia. There is no more Israel. There is no more Ukraine. So who's going to fight who we have? all been now unified. So to me, I see that as the path forward. I see that the path forward to world peace. I see that the path forward to salvation, prosperity. The key is though, is that we have to have leaders in charge who care about the common people, who care about the next generation, who want people to be better than they were. That's the most important thing right there. And this goes into even the next country, the 53rd state of America, which seems to be Mexico. Trump's now targeting Mexico, telling them about the caravans, making claims about, I think he actually talked about invading Mexico, which again, I am very much against. I think that's a very bad idea. Maybe it's just posturing. So that could be a good negotiation tactic, but I would be very much against actually invading Mexico. but look at the same time you say that, and if they don't do anything, then push comes to shove. But I think, you know, end of the day, the people have to want it. The people of Mexico have to want to become a part of the United States of America. I think it's possible. I mean, look, they're basically run by cartels. So it's definitely a step up. You just have to make sure that they have fair elections whenever voting. And then Something I kind of found funny today, speaking of Mexico, Trump decided that we're going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which I find very funny just because I mean, it's a, an interesting point. I'd have to look up the history of naming. Maybe we can do that right now. History of the name of the Gulf of Mexico. That's a lot of, of, but the point I'm trying to make here is like, It shares as much border with America. So why not? Oh, look at this. There's an article that already popped up getting populated about it Why was the Gulf of Mexico given its name and come Trump change it? Donald Trump is reportedly considering what do you mean reportedly? He literally says in this thing that he's doing it Considering another bold idea Map of Western Hemisphere the announcement. Why was the Gulf of Mexico given its name? The Gulf of Mexico is shared primarily by the US and Mexico Which I've been controlled which have long controlled and utilized its waters. The name Mexico originates from an indigenous city that bore the same name as the modern state of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico has carried this name for roughly 400 years. However, in the U.S. it is often colloquially called the third coast due to its coastline spanning five southeastern states. Mexican refer to the Gulf of Mexico as El Golfo de Mexico. El Gulfo de Mexico. I hope I'm saying that right with a Spanish accent. Probably messed that up a little bit using the Spanish version. While the US claims control over a significant portion of the Gulf, international agreements have clarified territorial waters. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, US waters extend 12 nautical miles from its coastline. Despite multiple nations sharing the Gulf, including Cuba, Mr. Trump recently Asserted that the US does quote most the work there He argued the body of water should bear America's name because quote it's ours End quote adding that quote the American name has a beautiful ring end quote Yeah, I mean I agree that the the Gulf of America is kind of I mean it sounds a little weird because we've always been saying Gulf of Mexico I'm not really crazy about the idea of him saying it's ours that could be taken out of context because it is just like a straight-up quote Always got to be careful about that. But I don't know. To me, I like I'm not like for or against it. I think words are very powerful. I do think there's a lot of power in words. So it's interesting. It's definitely interesting to see this expansion mindset coming from Donald Trump. Not something that he campaigned on at all. Clearly something that he's very interested in doing in this term in this election. So in this year and his upcoming term. And honestly, as long as we're not using force, I'm for it. If the people want it, why not? Can Trump actually change the name, like all from Mexico? His comments have united questions about whether a president can rename an international body of water. While a name change is theoretically possible, such a decision cannot be made unilaterally and other nations are not obliged to recognize it. The U.S. and Mexico are members of the International Hydrographic Organization. I H O which oversees the uniform charting and naming of the world's seas oceans and navigate navigable navigable navigable navigable water navigable. Huh? That's like able to navigate in practice countries sometimes refer to the same body of water or landmark by different names in their own documentation but all official changes require broader international consensus. Yeah. Majority Taylor Green, who's always been very pro, very pro Trump said that as soon as president Trump made the announcement, she told her staff to start drafting a bill. So it's interesting. That's power. I mean, I'm not crazy about her. think she's a little, she's a lot of good points. I shouldn't, I should be nice. I think she has like some good things, some bad things like we all do. And we just all need to learn to come together at the end of the day. So. I don't know. I think it's interesting to see how this plays out. I don't guess I'm not really for against golf of America, but with that being said, if in the future we are all going to become the United States of America at some point, I guess it would become the golf of America because there would no longer be a country of Mexico. So think it's interesting in other news. Slight topic shift. have a $20 billion investment into America from a Middle Eastern billionaire. He is he wants to build data centers, I think reaching about five or seven states, which is great for business. mean, I remember, I remember talking to someone about, oh, someone at one of my one of my businesses, we were talking about, like, who I wanted to be president. And I was like, obviously, the American Congress Party president, Rachel Fiori. our presidential candidate. She was like, well, yeah, no, but like if you had to pick Kamala or Trump, like which one? And my answer, I gave like a little bit of an answer, but the thing I said about Trump is at least like the pro is that the mindset of businessmen and entrepreneurs will be like increased so that we can at least get our economy back on track. And I, and I've talked about this on past podcasts. I think the debt that we are in crewing as a nation is absolutely absurd. And I don't know if it's fixable. I don't think it's fixable. I think it's just headed towards a complete collapse. And, know, we need to do our best to, well, rise up from when those ashes hit. we'll get to those ashes in a second, but I bring this up because this is a highlight. there was a Japanese company that invested $200 billion into America and now we have a $20 billion investment from a middle Eastern guy. So It seems like that was accurate. But speaking of ashes and nature, this is also an important thing we need to discuss here. Nature, nature is getting crazy guys. Nature is getting crazy. Nature decided to start fighting back against all these people who have been poisoning it. If you look to Southern California right now, there are four fires, which is insane. The number of fires that are going on. and it's, it's absolute devastation. It's absolute devastation. My brother lives out in Venice beach. He's had all these crazy photos. Luckily it's blowing the opposite direction away from him, but just insanity out there. It looks like apocalyptic is like the best word I could give you for it. It's, it's so crazy. and then on top of that, there was also a snowstorm of maybe three or four days ago that just ripped through South. you know, the Southern States of America, absolutely bonkers, absolutely crazy. and I know things like this can bring with them a lot of fear, a lot of uncertainty. And I just want to put out there that be aware that those who serve nature will always be taken care If you're serving nature, if you're trying to do better, if you're serving it, if you're saying, Hey, I'm here, show me the path. She's going to take care of you. I promise you that. And when I say that, I want to make sure that it, doesn't mean that all of the people who were affected or are being affected are anti nature. Not at all, because you never know how these things will play out. You know, if there's someone who is anti nature, then nature is going to give them hell. No pun intended. mean, that place looks like hell, but actually give them hell. Their insurance company might not do stuff and I'll give them a whole lot of problems. However, if you are someone who supports nature, if you, your house got into this burned destroyed, what will happen is, Maybe the insurance company comes through for you. It gives you more money than you need it. You're going to rebuild bigger and better. You have friends to go to. You have a whole support system because nature has been planning this. It's she's in charge guys. Like, so, you know, with all of this fear stuff, just know that those who serve nature will always be taken care of. So just keep serving nature. However you do it. I don't know how you do it. One way you do it could be by sharing this podcast so that people are more aware of how to that serving nature serves nature. So that would be a very powerful way to do it. I also would appreciate it if you did that so you can get this out to more people. And yeah, I just I really I really hope you guys enjoyed the podcast but but really enjoyed and really hope you guys find a way to serve nature. Something I do every day is I like kind of like throw. What will I do every day? kind of rub your hands in grass. I've talked about this before, but if you literally just rub your hands in grass and tell nature like, Hey, I need more money. Hey, help me with my relationship. Hey, give me more charisma. Give me this nature. We'll find a way. It might not seem like it at first. Sometimes it does. I've told some people to do that. And like within a day they get $800 that they were not expecting. Some people have to go for it a week and then kind of like then it will come in. It all just depends on where you're at in life what you're asking for So go do that. That's actually very powerful rub your hands and grass if you don't have anything Ask nature how you could best serve her say hey, what could I do better? How am I able to serve you better? Because we got to save her she's the supreme, right? So with all that being said, I appreciate you all. Thank you for tuning into this episode of traveling to consciousness. last update.
