    喬-羅根討論外星人的 20 次熱門話題 (Top 20 Times Joe Rogan Discussed Aliens)

    33:46喬-羅根討論外星人的 20 次熱門話題 (Top 20 Times Joe Rogan Discussed Aliens)
    • She's frozen in her tracks locked eyes with this creature and it's communicating with her please help me I'm he wants help it's we it's weak and it's feeble and it's scared and it's crouched down Liliani realizes that Katia is back there she gets I don't know 100 feet down the path she leaves her sister stay here I'm going back to get Katia she runs back and I asked Katia and I asked all the girls during that moment of contact when you lock eyes I know it's only a brief second but during that moment of contact what did you feel like put me there that's where the title comes from moment of contact for almost three hours they talked about witness testimony and the raw emotion that they conveyed either nearly a whole town of people are lying or all of this really happened marco charise jumps out of the car and grabs the thing with his bare hands yeah he puts it in the back seat and they drive it to a clinic and the doctor is like what the hell is that get it out of here I don't know what you know leave so they went to regional hospital and then ultimately it went to humanitas hospital and so we have testimony from military x that when he drove it from humanitas hospital it's in the movie but he drove it from humanitas hospital to uh as a military base where it spent the night the truck for one night and then it went from there to espouse x campinas number 17 the y files the small circles are the ones that are most interesting because how hard is that to do right right and they're uniform and it's like what is that if you're looking for an entertaining introduction to the ufo phenomenon the fast-growing youtube series the y files is a great place to start aj gentile and his sassy aquatic co-host make for a wildly fun time whether exploring ufo lore or government conspiracies aj is well versed in all things weird and tries his best to leave nothing out even if it ruins the great story he just told you he did just this on his jre appearance where he and joe talk about their favorite y file stories and the current state of ufos if you look at the ancient text it may have been in the mahabharata yeah but they allude to this liquid metal and then you fast forward to like the nazis building the bell the deglock that was a mercury engine and then we fast forward a little further mark mccandlish in the arv vehicle the um i forget the flux liner that is that's spinning mercury engine so spinning mercury keeps keeps popping up between stories of alien crop circles how weird the moon is and how much you can trust ufo personalities the almost three-hour episode was packed with ufo content he goes in it's a dark room the guy's working there the guy's like carl look at this it's pictures of the dark side of the moon he sees domes towers roads all kinds of stuff i can't believe it and carl goes home and he told his wife i can't wait to see this on the news this is crazy what we found like this civilization is on the moon and it just it just goes away number 16 ufo propulsion systems in in physics there is a speed limit that we have to acknowledge when we talk about trying to go somewhere really quickly right and so i like to call it the 11th commandment of physics thou shalt not exceed the speed of light have you ever wondered how humans would make a ufo propulsion expert harold sunny white and rogan play around with the idea of propulsion systems this leads to the possibility that the famed tic-tac that commander fravor saw in 2004 might not have even been a real object to begin with there's multiple people that saw it multiple platforms that saw it and so to to start with right i i thought maybe there was a small chance that was um just like we have stealth technology right where if you want to hide a plane what if we had the ability to project something right through some mechanism where we could make people go where we wanted them to go they theorize it may have been some sort of super advanced hologram that allows us to ionize the air creating some sort of holographic pixel the propulsion expert suggests that it might be possible to create a fake ufo with this technology meaning maybe there is no propulsion system at all maybe the mirage is to stop us from seeing what's creating it and i i look at it and i and i just realize out of the the edge of the glowy orb the wings of a seagull right so it's the it's the white belly of a seagull reflecting the light the near the light from the nearby city number 15 the insider it was called kona blue and we built up a stack of documents that would go to the ceiling here about what needed to be done what we were going to do how it should be done who should be involved so at this point you're convinced that this is a real phenomenon one of the most influential figures in both the ufo and remote viewing worlds how put off is naturally a great guest for rogan they discussed the scientists time and now defunct government programs like project stargate a cia remote viewing program the advanced aerospace weapons systems application program and the advanced aerospace threat identification program these craft have interfered with uh military exercises as we all know from uh saying the nimitz and the gimbal and the go fast videos that you know made it out into the public in in 2017 so it's it's really out there now at this point those last two are called official u.s government programs studying ufos the two also talk about uap disclosure hal's role in the upcoming documentary age of disclosure by dan farah and even whether ufonauts are from a different dimension from this planet or from a different dimension slash frequency number 14 ufos and religion and it was at the vatican where we encountered where where a lot of things happened for tyler that i saw made him understand that this was something that had been going on historically for a very long time period ufo nut joe rogan sits down with writer and professor of religious studies diana walsh pasulka to talk about all things ufos this includes their possible connections to religion how the government manages public reception of ufos and an alleged crash site the professor went to and the material they found their metal detectors that were configured for specific types of metals that he had he had these built is there a scientific term for these particular types of metals they're called metamaterials and of course it wouldn't be a joe rogan episode without talking about psychedelics both rogan and pasulka theorized that hallucinogens could possibly be a gateway to another world they even suggest that perhaps some of the spiritual sightings throughout religious history could actually be sightings of living beings from another realm or aliens or both so the magnetism of the of what's you know this kind of light that's happening um you can see that even in the shroud of turin which is by the way an anomalous artifact that scientists have looked at even atheist scientists have looked at and it appears to be some type of um imprint from radiation onto a cloth um so so i think we're talking about forms of light as well number 13 make ufos great again there's a lot of interest in uh the uh people coming from space you know yes and i know you're interested oh very interested in that how much do they tell you about that a lot really yeah what they tell you in possibly one of the most influential interviews of the 2024 presidential campaign donald j trump sits down for a long-form talk on the joe rogan experience it doesn't take long for rogan to ask the presidential candidate questions of a more conspiratorial nature rather than a political one joe asks the candidate about the jfk documents and if he would declassify them and of course follows it up with ufo questions trump had some interesting things to say about the people from space as he called them i get that question as much as almost any question do you think that we have aliens coming you know flying around or whatever what do you think there's no reason not to i mean there's no reason not to think that mars and all these planets don't have life you know the president stated he'd been told lots about the subject by individuals but still that's a hard time believing it they said sir there's something there you know they've there's something there yeah yeah i've talked to quite a few conspiracy guys number 12 the advanced aerospace threat identification program department of defense is supposed to focus on military that's it you don't you don't bring in u.s person's information and ingest them into a department of defense database especially a department of defense intelligence database that's a super no-no that's called u.s person's information and it's pretty much foreboding reported to be the lead of the now defunct pentagon ufo investigation a-tip and debated to be the kickstarter of the modern disclosure movement luis elizondo talks with rogan about his time in the advanced aerospace threat identification program the former pentagon official claims that in the program they were exposed to multiple crystal clear 4k videos of uap providing one example of an unidentified submerged object larger than an oil derrick there is a video that shows one of these objects underwater that goes by the speed was calculated between 450 and 550 knots underwater and it was bigger than the offshore derrick that it was passing because you could see in the video the offshore derrick and you could see this thing zip right by it the ex-counterintelligence agent also discusses the differences between ufos and uap and why the terminology was changed and even what scientists at a-tip theorized about how ufos could even be physically possible in this this thing i wrote um i i talk about up to the ledge up to the part i can talk about and they approved for me to talk about up to that point when it comes to what the government may or may not have in its possession all i can simply say is that um there is very compelling evidence to suggest that the u.s government is in absolute possession of exotic material that is not made by humans number 11 the ufo whistleblower interestingly enough there's like a whole history of human intelligence prior to world war ii and uh old money the vatican the italian mob um kind of the old country boys did a lot of informal intelligence collection uh for the u.s and and there's probably some books you can read on it but it's really interesting you know human intelligence collection wasn't really formalized until the offices office of strategic services the oss which became the cia in 1947 david grush was dubbed the ufo whistleblower when giving his first public interview on news nation the former intelligence officer appears on the joe rogan experience shortly after testifying under oath in front of the united states congress he spoke about an illegal ufo crash retrieval and reverse engineering program paired with a disinformation campaign that's been hiding its existence for about 90 plus years anything sensitive that i want to say as it relates to like u.s government activity whether it be intelligence stuff military stuff etc i have to submit it through what they call dop sir dod office of pre-publication and security review that is something anybody who's been an intel officer anybody with like a clearance has to submit that kind of stuff here the whistleblower discusses an early crash retrieval with alleged vatican ties reverse engineering programs biological remains of possible alien origin and their possible interdimensional origins luis elizondo coming forward opened the media's eyes to uap david grush coming forward opened up the eyes of the united states congress certainly this whole program in a nutshell if i were to like summarize the 90 plus years of history it is a reverse engineering program to garner some kind of insight and of course not a lot of the things that we've learned from it are like directly you know ripped off the technology we found but it has inspired other innovations that made its way into other u.s classified programs over the year for national defense reasons you number 10 former cia agent mike baker on ufos it's always riveting hearing from someone with state secrets in their pocket if that's up your alley mike baker is a reason to tune into the podcast because when you're talking about hypersonic aircraft or missiles or whatever it is there's some stuff that needs to be kept off the off the radar screen because there is a tremendous competition going on right now for particularly for things like control of space as a covert field operations officer baker worked in counterterrorism and counter-narcotics before leaving the cia for the private sector over 20 years ago so naturally rogan demanded answers about ufos do you think there are any credible stories whether it's from commander david fravor who saw that tic-tac vehicle off the coast of san diego or whatever video yeah if i had to point to one i would say forever in a rambling reply baker mentioned that some might be experimental craft while others are harder to explain i think it's a it's a high possibility that um that that there's yes i i do think that but at the same time then i also question uh sort of the the way that that's great if if some alien life force with amazing technology that we can't fathom right now comes to visit us now what the hell are they doing either he doesn't actually know if there are aliens out there or as many fans claimed he's just using cia mind tricks on us number nine neil degrasse tyson on stephen hawking's warning when astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson and joe talk about aliens the discussions are always fascinating in one such meeting they discuss stephen hawking's warning that any alien visitors might have ill intentions he is worried about the possibility of aliens enslaving us oh based on the reality that we've done that to ourselves tyson analyzed this fear in terms of earth's own history of colonialism but also expressed his hope that extraterrestrials might not be like us so it has been argued sociologically that the very act of wanting to colonize is self-limiting against successful colonization of the galaxy because to colonize the galaxy has to be done in an organized way all right you take this sector i take this sector but if i want territory and i want it now and my kids want it now i want that territory it could be tyson hypothesized that an oppressive aggressive civilization would not be able to colonize the galaxy as their methods would invite hostility and violence it helps that neil can speak quite dramatically making whatever topic he talks about more entertaining to listen to so it may be that the very kind of civilization that could peacefully colonize a galaxy is not the kind of civilization that would colonize the galaxy at all oof that's very heavy number eight physicist brian cox talks about alien biology this professor of particle physics is the kind of guy you wish were your science teacher in high school it is not weak right to not know it's actually natural not to know brian cox is somewhat of a rare breed as he can articulate complex ideas and condense them into easily digestible chunks he breaks down how life in space could work from actual creatures down to bacteria and organisms on asteroids is something you think about yeah i think there must be um even in the solar system i would not be surprised if we find microbes on mars or some of the moons of jupiter or saturn where there's liquid water like europa yeah he's incredibly patient as joe launches some admittedly ridiculous questions we found a frog on the moon i mean the world would stop right i'd be very surprised but i mean if we found anything anywhere we hope that joe brings him back so we can dissect his brain some more soon number seven george knapp and jeremy corbell on area 51 if bob really did work with all those people and they really were briefed the same way he was if we could get more of those people to talk that would be utterly fascinating area 51 has long had a special place in the american imagination the u.s air force base is involved in the development of experimental aircraft but many people believe that it's also hiding aliens and ufos deep underground joe rogan sat down with ufo enthusiast jeremy corbell and journalist george knapp to discuss the conspiracy theories now this guy actually is someone that you've had reference to on your show remember annie jacobson her book about area 51 yeah well it's the same guy but the story that told me was different than what he told her he said that they uh eventually told me that they had a live alien out there knapp was the journalist who first reported bob lazar's claim to have worked on alien tech at area 51 corbell and knapp are unable to verify any of their claims but it's fascinating to watch them tell their stories they also complain about people who just make things up and the more fanciful and ridiculous um the bad the better unfortunately people pay more to hear that and consume it number six physicist avi lobe talks about interstellar objects theoretical physicist avi lobe is a respected researcher who previously chaired harvard's astronomy department so i'm a scientist and i basically follow the evidence just like sherlock holmes trying to find solutions it's a detective story you have some anomalies some things that don't quite match what you expected and you're trying to find an explanation so when in december 2017 he suggested that the interstellar object oumuamua might have an artificial extraterrestrial origin people listen while most astronomers believe it's a natural object lobe thinks it might be a light sail constructed by an alien civilization discussing this idea with rogan his passion and enthusiasm is absolutely infectious so just think about it think about a piece of paper razor thin piece of paper tumbling in the wind and changing the area that we can see the projected area of that piece of paper by a factor of 10 it's also amazing that joe remains quiet for most of when his guest is talking which means one of two things either he completely believes him or has no idea what he's saying but oumuamua could not have been made by us because it was passing near us just for a few months very quickly faster than any rocket that we can launch that's why we couldn't really chase it when it was receding away from us and it came from outside the solar system so you know i just do one plus one equal two i say okay it looks very peculiar maybe it belongs to another civilization that itself should be a sign that the interview is worth a listen number five james fox and jacques valet on a ufo sighting in zimbabwe there's no way that a mass landing with the sheer volume of eyewitness testimony at a school in broad daylight could happen and the whole world not know about it there are a lot of stories out there about ufos and you have to wade your way through to find the good stuff that's where director james fox comes in during his appearance of the podcast alongside ufologist jacques valet he talked about a 1994 ufo sighting at a school in zimbabwe a story that features in his documentary the phenomenon you've got all these children saying what they saw on camera after it happened and then you see them 20 years later and then we go to africa and we meet with the head mistress or she was a teacher at the time we went with other witnesses we go to the landing site we talk to people at the school that case is absolutely and it was witnessed by lots of other people in and around the area for several days before it chose a school to land dozens of children reported seeing the ufo and aliens with big eyes the children even drew what they saw what's so intriguing about this story is how everyone on set makes sense of the event it does make you wonder why do these things land at schools it seems like and i'm just totally speculating here but it seems like if if i were gonna do that it seems like a pretty benign environment number four bob lazar and jeremy corbell discuss alien tech and human history if you want to go down a government ufo rabbit hole bob lazar is the man to look into he claims that he was hired to work at area 51 to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology and it was in the demonstration of the reactor working where it caught my attention to where this is technology that doesn't even exist he's a controversial figure because his supposed universities and workplaces have said they've never heard of him despite this he's amassed a lot of support from conspiracy theorists with his anti-matter force fields anti-gravity waves and alien involvement in history all that stuff that's in science fiction becomes reality if you have a machine that can make gravity and what we worked on in the desert was a machine that makes gravity there is an adult moment in this podcast and it's a must listen for anyone interested in life from outer space it was exciting i mean this was now i edge of science and i was i was so absolutely excited to be there every single time i was number three david fravor and jeremy corbell on military alien encounters ever since the pentagon released footage confirming military encounters with ufos the internet exploded so imagine having a navy pilot come on the show and confirm this isn't an uncommon occurrence if you're if you're using a propulsion that's non-reactive where you're just manipulating the medium that you're in air whatever you can go into the water so when you hear the all the reports of hey we've seen these things since you know world war ii that would come out of the water and fly if you have a technology like this as long as the object is sealed where you're not going to get water inside of it there's nothing that says you can't do that commander david fravor dives deep into a wide variety of strange happenings including underwater ufo sightings the tic-tac ufo encounter aliens and paintings and even misinformation within the communities exploring these strange phenomena so that's what you're starting to see is people that you know very credible they're not you know they're not they're not crazy they're not making stuff up but they're coming out and going hey i've had these experiences and i've got a lot of that from for over the last two years where people just find my email and send me stuff saying hey this happened to me or i saw this joe hits david with question after question making for one of the most stimulating and clipped episodes on the show i look up and go well if we're the only ones around and that's and i'm looking everything i'm looking at some it's a pretty sad place it's a pretty lonely universe number two travis walton on his alien abduction travis walton's story of being abducted in 1975 while working as a lumberjack created a media sensation even leading to the 1993 movie fire in the sky where were you i was lying on my back on a raised table there was a light above me um it was not real bright it was um not so bright that i couldn't um you know see the outline of the of the fixture but uh he claims that he awoke to short bald creatures watching him before human accomplices led him away put a mask over his face and knocked him out whether you believe him or not it's fascinating to watch him tell his story which is certainly one of the most vivid and fantastic out there what did they look like um i guess it's a pretty typical description nowadays uh very large eyes uh hairless um um two eyes nose mouth i didn't see them speak or no change in the expressions and uh to me that and in the face of all the screaming and uh the fear that i was uh uh projecting uh their lack of reaction probably just added to my panic he really breaks the tail down giving a play-by-play account of the events there isn't another interview like it on the joe rogan experience and it's something you just have to listen to yourself when i when i tell the story and try to relate to people i'm trying to communicate what i experienced and how utterly utterly traumatic that was and how it was so devastating i was you know on the verge of catatonic for weeks after it happened but uh uh i don't i don't want to relate this story in order to uh inspire fear what if the truth about our reality has been hidden in plain sight i'm rob and this is unveiled a podcast that dives headfirst into the biggest mysteries of our time each episode i sit down with thought leaders insiders experiencers and visionaries to explore the unknown the reality is that there's people out there that have reported terrifying experiences with these things and the term abduction comes to mind from the uap phenomenon and government cover-ups to alien abductions remote viewing and the metaphysics of consciousness this is not your average ufo podcast unveiled is about peeling back the layers of reality of belief of ourselves so if you're ready to challenge the mainstream narrative expand your mind and discover what lies beyond the veil check out unveiled and join me on this journey into the unknown number one christopher mellon on ufos when did you get interested in the subject of ufos this interview wasn't just exciting it was important as the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence in the late 90s and early 2000s christopher mellon once had access to a lot of information you feel like this is a politically risky thing to discuss especially to discuss like in serious terms like do you believe in these things like what are they what do we know is what was that an issue absolutely um i concealed my interest in the friends had a few heart-to-heart talks with a couple individuals in james fox's aforementioned documentary the phenomenon he claimed that he was the source who leaked the three infamous pentagon ufo videos to the new york times in 2017 he's someone who held a position of power but is keen to bring more information to the public if you're at all curious about aliens this is a podcast episode you can't miss i'll tell you another story offline we can exchange stories offline i'm excited i can't wait for this to be over now what ufo conversations from the joe rogan experience are your favorites let us know in the comments it may be that the very kind of civilization that could peacefully colonize a galaxy is not the kind of civilization that would colonize the galaxy at all oof

    唐納德-特朗普的 "爆炸性 "全球關稅全面生效 | BBC News (Donald Trump's "explosive" global tariffs takes full effect | BBC News)

    19:02唐納德-特朗普的 "爆炸性 "全球關稅全面生效 | BBC News (Donald Trump's "explosive" global tariffs takes full effect | BBC News)
    • Yes really we're seeing now the full force of those tariffs that it's now a week since Donald Trump first announced his plans the full force of those tariffs around the world with individual countries the worst offenders as the White House has described them now feeling the weight of those tariffs and well you've mentioned China that 104% tariff that's as a result of China not pulling back on its tariffs against the United States in terms of products going to the US and really this is what Donald Trump wanted he's described it as explosive he says you have to shake it up a little bit that might be a little bit of an understatement when you gauge the reaction internationally and increasingly Sally the reaction in this country we're seeing people concerned about everyday products like food like clothing some people are beginning to stockpile those goods in their homes while they can before they expect the prices to rise in the next few days and and quite incredible to see the swift movement on Wall Street in in every direction up and down as as traders can't take their eyes off the screen and you know truth social and and other places where Donald Trump is adding more detail yeah and I think uncertainty is the word because we're seeing those wild fluctuations in Wall Street that often just swing on a few words from the White House or indeed rumors that maybe actually turn out to be wrong but still affect the market so I think strong and so significant are the jitters that the people are feeling at the moment that it doesn't take much to make you know quite significant changes in terms of prices and and the sell-off that we've been seeing okay Peter thank you so much indeed let's talk to Shaima Khalil now who joins us from Tokyo Shaima 24% tariffs for Japan an ally of the US a very important trading partner so many goods head to the United States and it's hoped that Japan could be first in the queue for negotiations yes Japan will get priority tariff negotiations according to the US Secretary Treasury Secretary but what that will look like how that will turn out nobody really knows it's still in that uncertain realm as Peter was was speaking there but I think look there's so many stats and numbers that you can throw at the story but I think here in Tokyo the sentiment is still one of being stunned of being shocked as you say Sally Tokyo is a staunch ally in the region a key economic and security ally of the United States and unlike Beijing this is a friendly relationship Tokyo is a friend Beijing is a foe and yet Japan feels that it has to swallow the bitter pill of the reciprocal tariffs and there's almost a sentiment of how could you do this to us that politically you can you can feel it in the air the Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said the whole country has to come together in what he described as a national crisis there is that governmental task force now with thousands of consulting desks and financial institutions fielding calls regarding tariffs but even though the Prime Minister has called for diplomatic composure the fact that Tokyo is still very much in tandem with its relationship and committed to the US economy with a 25% levy on the car industry already in place the danger is real the auto industry represents 20% of Japan's exports that's 17 billion dollars of projected losses if these levies are still in place the tariff diplomacy is in full force there are two major developments in the chaos of the last few days one is that 30-minute phone call between the Prime Minister and Donald Trump on Monday and that tells you that there is an open channel and the second one is the appointment of the economy economic minister you'll say Akazawa as the chief name a tariff negotiator he will be dealing with the US Treasury Secretary look there's so much that Tokyo can bring to the table for five years running Japan has been the US's top top investor there are 54,000 US military personnel here there there's already developing defense agreements between the US and Japan and so the negotiators have a lot to talk about with the United States they will get as you say a front a front seat but it's still a very uphill battle priority boarding as they say when you're getting on a plane Thank You Shima let's go to Jonathan head in Bangkok so Jonathan Thailand is on the worst offenders list as well so what is it facing now the tariffs have come into effect in the last few minutes and I have seen the Thai markets being hit hard by all of this as well as they are across the region Sally I mean the worst affected country or the least terms of the terms of the actual scale of the tariffs in is little Cambodia 49% I mean there is simply no hope that Cambodia can buy as much from the US as it sells that's going to have a devastating effect on its garment industry like other countries in this region the response from Cambodia from Vietnam as well Vietnam US exports to the United States it's the largest destination account for 23% of its entire GDP and Vietnam has very ambitious growth targets for its current economic plans for Thailand it's a bit less about 18% of exports go to the US but Thailand has a flatlining economy and is desperately looking for all possible ways of getting it going these tariffs have come at the worst possible moment now the official response from all the governments in this region is don't panic don't retaliate as China has done negotiate but negotiations I mean you heard from Japan's at the top of the head of the line other you know Thailand's gonna set its finance minister the Vietnamese deputy prime minister's on his way the Malaysian leader Anwar Ibrahim is heading to Washington too I mean who will they meet and we heard from mr. Trump's trade counselor Peter Navarro in interviews given over the last 24 hours that even though these countries have all offered to reduce their tariffs Vietnam said we'll bring our tariffs down to zero he said that won't matter he said the fundamental problem is the imbalance in trade and because these tariffs have been calculated not on the basis of what tariffs are imposed on the US but on how big the trade deficit is all of Southeast Asia pretty much has a trade surplus with the US because these are relatively low-income high exporting countries that's their model they simply cannot buy as much from the US as they export and so it doesn't look at the if mr. Navarro's influence still holds so whether it's actually going to be possible for that for that trade those trade negotiations to actually be able to be successful and Jonathan you mentioned Cambodia and Vietnam as well in particular and I noticed a lot of their governments are saying we're going to buy more US goods we're looking to see what we can purchase from the US to try and reduce the deficit but actually Vietnam Cambodia in particular really benefited from the tariffs that Trump put in place in his first term in office back in 2016 because all the manufacturing was moving out of China to other parts of Southeast Asia and later in this program I'll be talking to a company boss who's in Arkansas who has all these goods made in Vietnam and still those tariffs are much lower than China aren't they so you're still better off getting things made in Vietnam than China yeah but obviously that it's all a tariffs are you going to be worse off than your competitor and I think that's where look Southeast Asian countries are inherently transactional and they are being pragmatic even though inwardly I think they'll be panicking there are going to be big impacts on their on their people's standards of living I mean Peter Navarro claimed that one third of US of Vietnamese exports the US are actually de facto think products but diverted into Vietnam from China that's not actually true the best studies and it's not a statistics not good on this say estimate the perhaps seven to sixteen percent of exports from Vietnam to the US probably are ones that are result of tariffs in China but it has played played a very big role and it means that there's real turbulence for many for supply chains for manufacturers where are they going to go next you know it's like whack-a-mole one country gets hit with tariffs you try and relocate somewhere else it's the unpredictability of course and the very peculiar nature of these tariffs that the Trump administration's come up with which makes it so hard for governments and manufacturers to decide what their long-term plans should be now okay Jonathan thank you very much well let's bring in Mariko Oi who is in our Asia business hub in Singapore watching financial markets so Mariko how are they looking today well Sally I think it's fair to say that we are back on a rollercoaster ride you and I have been watching the stock market reaction since Thursday last week ever since mr. Trump announced those latest tariffs in what the White House calls on Liberation Day and on Thursday and Friday we saw that sell-off and then on Monday we saw a much bigger sharp sell-off especially in Japan and Hong Kong yesterday we saw a bit of a recovery but then once again we are back in the red so basically investors are not liking everything that they're hearing in terms of that escalating tension between the United States and China as Shimer and Jonathan were talking about it various Asian governments are in negotiation with Washington but so far no one has been successful in winning an exemption or getting a deal and that's why we're seeing this sell-off investors and economists have been warning about these tariffs pushing up prices in the United States and possibly pushing the u.s. and even a global economy into a recession and that fear is getting realistic day by day thank you so much Mariko and thank you also to Jonathan head Shimer Khalil and Peter bows as well as we get reaction to these tariffs which have now been in place for nearly 15 minutes on all these countries 60 countries digesting brand-new tariffs let's now focus on China I'm joined by Han Lin who is China country director of the Asia group welcome to BBC News a hundred and four percent is the tariffs now on Chinese goods headed to the United States what's your thoughts on that yeah these tariffs are quite frustrating for the Chinese government not that China has feels unprepared but that the US China trade situation has unraveled so quickly without a clear off-ramp or a channel of communication besides China capitulating which is not likely going to happen but but certainly one thing that's being watched as carefully as this is that I remember late last quarter China had announced that if there was a trade war China would respond firmly it has a more diverse and deeper toolkit to retaliate with and that China has a greater capacity to endear or suffer pain so it looks like this thesis is about to be challenged over the coming weeks and months but certainly one thing we do know which is this if China can export its way to GDP growth it's going to focus more on the domestic economy and when you look at China's sinking stock market there's a lot more pressure to accelerate the fiscal and monetary stimulus that's been announced earlier but but that pivot from being the factory of the world to looking at economic growth fuel by domestic demand is not an easy transition and actually it's something China's been trying to do for a few years now really since the global pandemic so how will it make that shift I mean I'm looking at Goldman Sachs who's now saying the impact on the Chinese economy could be something like four and a half percent this year of a reduction in GDP growth that is a challenge China is trying to deal with because it looks like at least based on the recent purchasing managers index data for March the economy looks like it's stabilizing and that there is still a lot of potential for aggregate demand growth and that things and stimulus such as cutting rates still have yet to happen so there are still potential but that is true China has stuck to its 5% growth target this year that was certainly announced during the recent two sessions and how likely it's going to meet that 5% growth target in a way that people feel safe and comfortable going forward that is still very much an open question okay Han Lin from the Asia Group thank you for giving us your take on the challenges facing China well let's now talk to someone who is glued to the screens a trader who an investor Dan Ives who's the global head of tech research at Wedbush securities Dan how are you doing I mean look I'd tell you 25 years doing this through dot-com bubble burst financial crisis COVID I think this is probably the scariest days that I've seen in my career I must admit Dan I'm going to agree with you on that because I've been working in financial journalism as long as you have I remember the dot-com bubble bursting at the end of the 90s as you say the financial crisis to 2008 COVID this feels more intense and the gyrations are much more severe so why is that because you don't know the rules of the game and ultimately these are things where when you talk about turning around you know once this snowball starts going downhill you can't stop it and I believe as these go into effect the recessions almost guaranteed in the US and I think this is it's an economic Armageddon that's self-inflicted in my opinion it's the worst policy move out of the White House in a hundred years so you are not on board then with the president who says okay I know this is explosive I know this is painful but in the long term America will be the winner we are making America great again America wealthy again is that not what will happen the opposite because I mean someone like myself it's been 25 years in around the supply chain in Asia in China in Taiwan it's a fictional tale that you're gonna make iPhones in the US and the market is not Republican or Democrat it's telling news reality and in news math and that's why stocks are selling off and that's what but this is gonna go down in history unfortunately it's gonna be a dark chapter and I just believe the pressure is gonna continue to mount in DC on Wall Street then negotiations are gonna start because this cannot be at this level it continues to be an absurd situation unfortunately it's consumers that are gonna be paying for it and Dan you've been over the years that I've spoken to you extremely bullish on on Tesla also Apple as well which has been the darling of the market and seen as a solid stock and yet obviously Apple is so exposed to all of this what's your take on those kind of companies that have been massively sold off and in and Tesla in particular and Elon Musk and his role in all of this not that he's involved with tariffs specifically but of course his alignment with President Trump look I think no industry has heard more than these time in US tech it could take US tech sector back a decade at the same point there for the first time in 30 years US has ahead of China well when it comes to tech in my opinion when it comes to AI revolution look I mean longer term our bullish stands for means and we haven't downgraded stock but I'll tell you when it comes to Musk he has to get out of government it's actually not a choice at this point Tesla's become a political symbol it's been a debacle of epic proportions and look clock struck midnight he needs to leave the US government in terms of his role

      唐納德-特朗普(Donald Trump)首次宣佈他的計劃已經一週了,我們現在看到的是這些關稅在全球範圍內的全面威力,正如白宮所描述的那樣,最嚴重的國家現在已經感受到了這些關稅的重量,你也提到了中國,104%的關稅是中國沒有收回對美國產品徵收關稅的結果。這正是唐納德-特朗普所希望的,他將其描述為爆炸性的,他說你必須稍微動搖一下,這可能有點輕描淡寫,當你衡量國際上的反應,以及國內越來越多的反應時,我們看到人們對日常產品,如食品,如服裝,感到擔憂。在預計未來幾天物價上漲之前,人們開始儘可能地在家中囤積這些商品

    • This approach, known as automatic writing, asks us to begin by picking an important emotional topic, for example, my mother or my father, my partner or what I really want, and then writing as fast as we possibly can for two minutes straight without a single pause, which can feel like a very exhausting and peculiar requirement indeed.

      這種方法被稱為 "自動寫作",它要求我們首先選擇一個重要的情感話題,例如,我的母親或父親、我的伴侶或我真正想要的東西,然後儘可能快地連續寫兩分鐘,不能有絲毫停頓。
