Why Oil Still Controls Wars, Politics, and Global Power - Mike Mauceli, Fernando Gonzalez

Energy isn't just another commodity—it's the foundation of modern civilization. In this episode, Robert Kiyosaki, Michael Mauceli, and Fernando Gonzalez break down why oil and energy continue to shape global power, geopolitics, and economic stability, even as technology and AI accelerate demand. You'll learn why energy scarcity affects everything from inflation and national security to supply chains and investment opportunities. The conversation explores how wars, political decisions, and economic shifts often trace back to control over energy resources—and why ignoring this reality leaves people unprepared for what's coming next. This episode also examines how rising energy demand from AI, data centers, and infrastructure is changing the global landscape, and why hard assets tied to production play a critical role in uncertain times. Rather than focusing on headlines or speculation, the discussion highlights long-term forces that drive value and shape wealth. If you want to understand how energy influences markets, why oil still matters despite new technologies, and how global power is really determined, this conversation offers clarity you won't hear in mainstream media. 00:00 Introduction 04:04 Venezuela's Oil Reserves 05:13 South American Business Ventures 06:56 Venezuela's Political Climate 11:35 The Importance of Hard Assets 24:40 AI and Energy Needs 26:48 Peru's Mining Opportunities 27:51 Shining Path and Terrorism in Peru 30:54 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Events ----- WARNING: Banks are taking homes.
