This is headline at foxnews dot com New York versus Trump. 37 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.840 Judge threatens jail time for quote possibly the next president for future gag order 38 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.759 violations. Former President Trump has already been fined ten thousand dollars for violating gag 39 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.879 order. This is written by Brooke Singman at foxnews dot com. Judge Jan 40 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.240 Murcayan said on Monday he will consider a jail sentence for former President Trump if 41 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:05.319 he continues to violate the gag order imposed upon him in his unprecedented criminal trial. 42 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.879 Mrcann imposed a gag order on Trump before the tribe began, ordering that 43 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:18.560 Trump cannot make or direct others to make public statements about witnesses excuse me with 44 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.240 regard to their potential participation, or about counsel in the case other than Manhattan 45 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:31.040 District attorneymil At Alvin Bragg or about court staff DA staff are family members of 46 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:38.439 staff. Brag and prosecutors have alleged more than a dozen violations of the gag 47 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:46.360 order and have already fined the former president nine thousand dollars for those violations. 48 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.439 Murcann on Monday find the former president one thousand dollars for an additional violation, 49 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:58.240 but said it is clear that the fine one thousand dollars per violation is not 50 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.519 effective. The filing states that quote that Trump is quote hereby I put on 51 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:10.879 notice that, if appropriate and warranted, future violations of its lawful orders will 52 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:17.839 be punishable by incarceration. OI, oh boy, can you imagine? Can 53 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.800 you imagine what this would look like? If Trump ends up getting put in 54 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:30.680 jail for allegations that he is violating the gag orders, the gag order by 55 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.439 the court. The last thing I want to consider is jail. Mrcan said, 56 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:40.759 you are the former president and possibly the next president. The last thing 57 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.120 he wants to do is consider putting Trump in jail. I don't know. 58 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.079 That doesn't from where I'm sitting, that doesn't appear to be the case for 59 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.399 our just justice system at large here. But that's of course where we are 60 00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.160 today. So just an update on that. Trump's violating the gag order and 61 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.639 being fined yet another one thousand dollars, bringing his total fine the ten thousand 62 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:13.000 dollars, which the court, the judge is acknowledged is not enough to deter 63 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.160 him. I mean, ten thousand dollars to Trump is not. I mean, 64 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.439 it's not a lot of money, right, I mean, I'm not 65 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.279 I'm sure he doesn't like to give away the money. But again, at 66 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:29.519 the same time, he's trying to he's trying to defend himself in the public 67 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.319 eye that this this is a messy situation that we've got ourselves into here. 68 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.600 We'll keep our eye on it, we'll talk about it from time to time. 69 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.240 But this is now, it's fourth week, it's the third week of 70 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.399 testimony, the fourth week of the of the trial. And I mean, 71 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:53.480 boy, we'll see how this thing plays out. But this could I don't 72 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:58.000 even want to predict what could happen here, because we could be talking about 73 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.439 all sorts of things, like a resident someone campaigning for the presidency from from 74 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.920 jail. That's a possibility. I'm not saying it's one percent or ninety nine 75 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.879 percent. I'm just saying there is a possibility that that is where where this 76 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.519 ends up. So and again it's the Seinfeld Newman strategy. Whatever it takes. 77 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.040 The Left is prepared here whatever it takes, as long as it takes 78 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.600 them, so long as it takes Trump away from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, 79 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.360 that's what they're prepared to do. They will stop at nothing, my friends. 80 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.399 So just be ready, be ready for what's gonna happen, whether it's 81 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.079 in this case, whether it's in a future case, whether it's in the 82 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.800 campaign, whether it's in who knows. We've got Nevada. By the way, 83 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.759 this as a side note, just to kind of put some of these 84 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.040 things back on the radar. That's candidly easy to forget when you're in the 85 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:57.000 midst of this circus we're living through. But Nevada Republican Party has sued to 86 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.959 block the state from counting ballots that are right in the mailstream after election day. 87 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.199 They apparently allow for up to four days after election day for ballots to 88 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.040 be received, so long as they're poked postmarked by the by the day of 89 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.399 the election and so forth. I mean it's just it's a mess. What 90 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.959 does that mean? I mean, first of all, that case is probably 91 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.319 not going to have enough time to go through the court system before we get 92 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.120 to November. So that probably means there's going to be ballots counting later in 93 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.600 Nevada. You know what this is going to look like. You already know 94 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.799 what this is going to look like. The ballots will trickle in, They're 95 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.000 going to know how many they need to come up with, and can they 96 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.159 pull it off? I mean, I don't know what else to say about 97 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.759 it. But so we've got all these things that are happening that could certainly 98 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.480 impact this election. We live in We live in crazy times, there's no 99 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.759 doubt about that. But I want to shift gears a tiny bit here. 100 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:03.159 This is a political I mean a political issue of sorts here. It's definitely 101 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.519 part of the overall narrative of the absolute moral depravity of the worldview of the 102 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.639 radical left. We have an individual here, well, let me pause, 103 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.600 take a step back. Here, we have a city council in Austin, 104 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:28.080 Texas that is voted to become a sanctuary city for transgender identifying individuals, including 105 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:35.440 miners that are seeking sex change drugs and surgeries. I'm reading from the postmillennial 106 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.639 dot com here. In the vote held on Thursday, city council members approved 107 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:48.559 a resolution by a margin of ten to one. Ten to one they approve. 108 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:56.440 This directs directing the Austin Police to deprioritize the Texas law that prohibits certain 109 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:05.279 treatments for transgender identifying miners as their lowest enforcement priority. The resolution states that 110 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.799 the city will not utilize personnel, funds or resources to investigate, prosecute, 111 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:18.600 or impose penalties on transgender or non binary individuals seeking health care healthcare, nor 112 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.759 on individuals or organizations providing or assisting the provision of such health care. So 113 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.879 the law for the state, the law for the state outt makes it illegal 114 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:39.799 for certain treatments for transgender miners. But the city said, that's fine. 115 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.600 We just aren't going to allocate resources. We're not going to investigate, we're 116 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:50.559 not going to do anything with this. We're not spending any money anytime anything 117 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.559 like that. We're not going after the people that are involved in bringing these 118 00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.000 young people to our city for sex changes. We're going to be a sanctuary 119 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.639 city for that, sanctuary city for that. I mean, it's crazy. 120 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.639 It's crazy, but that's that's the nerdive, you know. I tried. 121 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.600 I always try to be fair. I always try to at least make the 122 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.120 argument so that we at least understand what the other side is saying. I 123 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.320 don't want you to think that I that ever means that I agree with it. 124 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.759 I just think it's important that we figure out how to at least understand 125 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.600 what is being said and believed by these oftentimes lunatics on the left so that 126 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.759 we can have conversations with people who don't have any idea, I mean, 127 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.200 like it or not. My friends, we have to be the ones in 128 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:46.679 many cases to well, to carry the burden of actually helping people understand the 129 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.080 totality of the issue and why it's wrong, in this case, why it's 130 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.320 wrong and absurd to do something like this. So the narrative of the left 131 00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:01.120 goes that there are people who are born biologically as one sex, but of 132 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:09.639 course they identify their gender doesn't correspond with their biological sex. Now this is 133 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.519 interesting to me in and of itself, because I was part of what they 134 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:20.960 say is it doesn't matter what your biological sex is. Gender doesn't pay respect 135 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.360 to that. So you can be a biological male, but really be gender 136 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.480 from a gender perspective female. But if gender and biology are not connected, 137 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.399 then why are we Why are we physically altering our bodies? Why are well, 138 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.440 well, why do people then alter their bodies if the two are not 139 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.399 connected? That, to me is the first logical question that we should ask. 140 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.440 If these two things are just there's no connection, right, there's no 141 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.600 connection to biological sex and gender, then why are we changing people's gender? 142 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.240 Why are we doing this? It's a dangerous thing to do. I mean, 143 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.600 these surgeries are dangerous. A lot of this stuff is brand new. 144 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:13.080 The stuff has burst onto the scene virtually overnight, while many Americans were asleep 145 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.559 at the wheel or candidly, while many Americans were trying to keep themselves out 146 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.519 of financial harm because they're working multiple jobs, they're trying to make ends meet. 147 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:30.440 Both parents are busting it to try to keep the family in a position 148 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.919 where they can live their lives and take kids to activities and all this sort 149 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.519 of stuff, and it's hard to stay on top of everything. But this 150 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.120 erupted. It seemed out of nowhere. Of course, it wasn't nowhere. 151 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.519 This godless worldview has been out there has been out there for a long time. 152 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.080 I think it's just surprised people. How many people surprised normal thinking people 153 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:58.320 as to how many crazy people exist in the world today. And so this 154 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.320 was thrust on people. At first, it was for many people it was 155 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.960 shocking. Then it was okay, they can do their thing as long as 156 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.200 it doesn't involve me. But once we began to tear and pull back the 157 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.279 layers and you begin to see what's happening in classrooms, you see kids as 158 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.559 young as I mean five years old in some cases that are being that are 159 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.840 saying they want to be a different gender. They feel like they're a girl 160 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.440 when they're biologically a boy, or vice versa. And then there's a pressure 161 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.919 or some assistance by some doctors, medical professionals coming in to say I'm here 162 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.000 to help. I'm here to help make that a reality. If you're five 163 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.080 years old, seven years old, ten years whatever, fourteen years old, 164 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.159 a minor, seventeen years old, and you want to become biologically a female, 165 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.519 I'm here to do that. That's what these doctors. I'm not here 166 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.080 to do that. I'm telling you, that's what these doctors, doctors, 167 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.120 my friends, I mean these doctors are supposed to be intelligent people. What 168 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.240 on earth is going on? Don't tell me, you do not tell me, 169 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.840 and that intelligence without morality. Don't try to convince me that that's not 170 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.039 a dangerous mix, because it is. It's a dangerous mix. And so 171 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.879 now it's gotten to the point it's so bad, it's so bad that you 172 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.200 know this, this movement has become its own, its own thing, its 173 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:28.200 own journey into absolute moral depravity and insanity, to the point where people are 174 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.159 saying, look, if we don't allow these kids to say they're you know, 175 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.679 to to change their physical gender, we are going we're basically setting enough 176 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.600 to be killed. They're gonna they are going to physically harm themselves because of 177 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.120 the confusion and the dysphoria that they feel, or they're going to get bullied 178 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.480 by someone else. It puts their life at great risk. Why don't you 179 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.279 just comply, Why don't you just go along and say it's better for them, 180 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.879 it's better for them to have a gender reassignment surgery or take puberty blockers 181 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:06.879 or something else, versus be dead. And there's actually a SoundBite that I'm 182 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:12.840 setting up to play from this hearing from someone who went through those that procedure, 183 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:18.840 that the process of changing gender. And I want you to listen to 184 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.240 this testimony because there's actually a ton of people that are saying what's being said 185 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:29.200 here by someone who's gone through gender reassignment surgery or whatever. The you know, 186 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.120 the puberty blockers, the hormones, all that stuff. There's a ton 187 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.080 of people who are coming out who regret this in a major, major way 188 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.720 and are asking where were the adults? Where were the adults when all this 189 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.799 was happening. So I want to play that, but before I do, 190 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:48.240 my friends, I mean also remind you heart disease.

This is testimony before the Austin City Council. 208 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:26.480 This was before the City Council voted eleven to one, excuse me, ten 209 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:33.720 to one, ten to one to allow to make the City of Austin a 210 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:48.000 sanctuary city for a sanctuary city for those seeking gender reassignment surgery to change gender. 211 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.759 And so there were there was testimony, there was a hearing, there 212 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:52.920 was a hearing. Now this did not go the way that it should have 213 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.799 gone. This did not go the way that it should have gone, but 214 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.640 there was some interesting and some I think some teachable moments that came from from 215 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:14.599 this process. And so there's an individual, there's an individual who has testified 216 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:21.839 before the city council, before the city council, who has gone through the 217 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:30.319 process of gender reassignment surgery. And this individual has some pretty damning things to 218 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:41.720 say to the folks who are out there promoting promoting this sort of well this 219 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:48.720 policy. So I want you to listen to this. This is trying to 220 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:56.880 find the name here. This is a tweet from tweet from the testimony of 221 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:02.920 an individual who had had a sex change gender reassignment surgery. I just want 222 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.240 you to listen to this testimony. It's a minute or so. And this 223 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:15.920 individual biologically born male transitioned to female. This individual is saying, I was 224 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:21.400 a kid. Where were the adults? I was a kid, I didn't 225 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:26.559 know any better. Where were the folks who did What are the medical professionals 226 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:32.319 telling us? Why are we not acknowledging the fact that there are real lifelong 227 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:41.279 consequences for people who have this? So here is the testimony. Hi, 228 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.680 my name is ether Dixon. I live here in Austin's Third District, and 229 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.519 I experienced extreme gender dysphoria from a young age, leading to me coming out 230 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.559 as transgender at thirteen. I began begging for hormone blockers and testosterone, constantly 231 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.000 slept and sometimes showered and unsafe chest finders, started self harming and cutting body 232 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.839 parts that made me look fitment and all theo or. I started seeing a 233 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.200 gender therapist as a mid teen, who helped move my family to accept my 234 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.359 identity using the phrase do you want a dead daughter or a living son? 235 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.079 After a routine fight and breakdown, I was finally allowed to start cross sex 236 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.720 hormones just after turning seventeen. One visit later, I rode the high agender 237 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.920 euphoria, finally getting to further the transition I had been working all of my 238 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:22.359 life. For months into starting TEA, I was diagnosed with a cardiovascular intolerance, 239 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.200 having constant issues with heart regulation and passing out. I continue taking the 240 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:32.160 tussoserone, causing constant mood swings and later excruciating joint pain. Still I believe 241 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.160 these drugs were saving my life despite so clearly disabling it. A stray thought 242 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.319 ultimately asking why am I so distressed in myself and how people perceive me? 243 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.440 Is what began to unravel my world at nineteen. I am now twenty one, 244 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.960 still impacting the trauma that made me want to cut off body parts, 245 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.240 dealing with complications of steroids use like vaginal atrophy, extreme joint pain, and 246 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:55.279 discomfort from permanently changing my sex characteristics, all for how I identified and was 247 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.119 affirmed in my trauma from a child to adult. The legislation this item is 248 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.359 against is not taking away rights are anatomy. It is regulating experimental medicine on 249 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.799 children in a non criminal way. Save every kid from the unnecessary hormone complication 250 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.440 and lost body parts. Question why kids and adults are rejecting their sexes, 251 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.559 and give these kids the therapeutic supports they need and starve to love and accept 252 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.599 their selves and bodies. Say not of proposal sixty four. Thank you? 253 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:25.440 Okay, thank you, didn't matter. This thing passed anyway, but quite 254 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.119 telling, quite telling from the testimony there. And this was, by the 255 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:30.920 way, I think I said that wrong. And this was someone who was 256 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:38.240 biologically female who wanted to transition into a biological male, which of course is 257 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:48.400 an impossibility. It's impossible. Now this individuals has dealt with a lot of 258 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.799 consequences and is trying to prevent this from happening to other young people. So 259 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.480 timeouts in order, my friends, sit TI. You're listening here to conservative 260 00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.279 not better talk. I'm your host, the one the only taught huff back 261 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:07.440 in just a minute, Welcome back to my friends. I'm gonna shift gears 262 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.640 here a little bit, shift gears here a little bit. I don't know 263 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:21.079 if you've seen this White House economic advisor struggles with question on monetary policy. 264 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:30.160 This Biden economic advisor, Jared Bernstein, was being interviewed for a documentary and 265 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.799 I want, I want you to listen to this. I mean, this 266 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:40.960 guy's an advisor on all things economic to the White House, and he cannot 267 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.119 even explain some of the simple well nothing when you look at the way that 268 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:52.680 our economy is managed. I'm not saying that it's it's simple, but I 269 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.000 would say the simplest, one of the simplest things would be to answer this 270 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:03.519 question. There's a quest question about why our government borrows money while at the 271 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:10.240 same time printing printing money, Like what's that relationship? Why are they doing 272 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.519 both of these things. I mean, just some questions to help people understand 273 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.720 monetary policy, which I'm not list Look, I'm not defending it at all, 274 00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:26.440 but just to explain it what should be a relatively simple explanation in this 275 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.200 guy, I mean, it's embarrassing what this guy says. I mean, 276 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.480 and I'll play that here. I'll play that here in just a minute. 277 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.960 But as we talk about economics, and as we talk about finance, as 278 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:44.680 we talk about things that affect the market, things that affect consumer confidence, 279 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:52.279 things that infect affect inflation, or that are affected by inflation, reminds me 280 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:59.160 of our friends at Harvard Gold Group. Harvard Gold Group. Well, they 281 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.640 of course can help help you with adding gold to your portfolio. But gold, 282 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.519 my friends, is at or near an all time high, and gold 283 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.240 has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dallas since nineteen seventy one, 284 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:18.519 when the dollar was taken off of the gold standard, And so doesn't 285 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:26.359 make sense for you to add gold to your portfolio given given the economic factors 286 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.160 out there today, given inflation, given the state of the overall economy, 287 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:37.759 given what gold may do regarding regarding its value, and all of those things 288 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.240 and you might again be considering this thinking about whether or not is something worth 289 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:48.720 adding to your portfolio, especially especially when you stop to realize that all countries, 290 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.240 all central banks, all major institutions, and even the IMF itself, 291 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.319 they all own a substantial amount of gold, and so doesn't make sense. 292 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:03.640 These are people who are often behigh behind responsible for our paper money system. 293 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.079 If they have gold, then should you be Does it make sense for you 294 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.279 to have it as well? So reach out to our friends at Harvard Gold 295 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.640 Group to have that conversation to learn more. Harvardgoldgroup dot com. If you 296 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.880 use my name Todd, he will get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit. 297 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.400 Should you just decide to move forward in an investment in gold with Harvard 298 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.000 Goldgroup again, Harvard Gooldgroup dot com promo code Todd gets you a two one 299 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:38.279 hundred fifty dollars credit. So let's look here at this economic advisor to the 300 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:45.279 White House. His name is Jared Bernstein. This is a clip Finding the 301 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.519 Money film. This is a tweet. They tweeted this out on May the 302 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.680 second. We hear a lot about the national debt, but do currency issuing 303 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.160 governments really quote borrow their own currencies. The answer might surprise you. The 304 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:00.519 answer will do more than surprise you. The answer will shot me. Now, 305 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.599 this isn't the tweet. The answer will shock you when you listen to 306 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:11.079 this person and realize he's in the room at the wine house advising on economic 307 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.480 policy and all things financial. And this guy, I mean, this is 308 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:22.799 an embarrassing, an embarrassing answer to a we should be a relatively simple question 309 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:29.960 for this guy to address. So that being said, this documentary which is 310 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.359 now in theaters and on demand as of May third, which was what Friday, 311 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.359 I guess, I want you to listen, want you to listen to 312 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:44.559 this exchange. This is really really embarrassing. I mean absolutely, And the 313 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.640 US government can't go bankrupt because we can print our own money. It obviously 314 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.400 begs the question why exactly are we borrowing in a currency that we print ourselves. 315 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.799 I'm waiting for someone to stand up and say, why do we borrow 316 00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.880 our own currency in the first place? Like you said, they print the 317 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:07.880 dollar, so why why does the government even borrow? Well, answer the 318 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.039 so the I mean again, some of this stuff gets some of the language 319 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.720 that the some of the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, 320 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:22.160 the government definitely prints money and it definitely lends that money, which is why 321 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.200 the government definitely prints money, and then it lends that money by by selling 322 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:32.680 bonds. Is that what they do? They they this is nice. Yeah, 323 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.960 they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right, So 324 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:38.680 they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the money. Yeah. 325 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.359 So a lot of times, a lot of times, at least to 326 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:47.359 my year with m MT, the language and the concepts can be un necessarily 327 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.119 confusing, but there is no question that the government prints money and then it 328 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:59.839 uses that money to uh uh so, yeah, I guess I'm just I 329 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.359 can't really talk it, don't I don't get it. I don't know what 330 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.720 they're talking about, like, because it's like, the government clearly prints money, 331 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.920 it does it all the time, and it clearly borrows. Otherwise we 332 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.519 wouldn't be having this det and depfist conversation. So I don't think there's anything 333 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.799 confusing there. He doesn't think there's anything confusing there. The guy. That 334 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:23.960 was a minute and forty two seconds of utter confusion for this guy. And 335 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.119 maybe the confusion stems from the fact that much of what we do in this 336 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.160 country from an economic perspective, From an economic standpoint, when you look at 337 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:38.200 I'm talking top level, I'm talking monetary policy, I'm talking about quantitative easy, 338 00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.079 I'm talking about things not you know that these are, you know, 339 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:48.680 oftentimes theories pertaining to how an economy should be run. Oftentimes theories that run 340 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.960 contrary to reason and sense and experience in the way that things work here on 341 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:59.359 planet Earth, runs contrary to supplying de man, it runs contrary to basic 342 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:08.759 foundational understandings of really sound fiscal policy, sound economic financial policy. That's probably 343 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.759 the source of a lot of this, a lot of this confusion. Wasn't 344 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:17.400 that embarrassing? Though this guy didn't say anything, Well, yes, we 345 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.880 print money, but we also borrow money. We can't go bankrupt because we 346 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:29.039 can just print more money. I mean, friends, what we can't go 347 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:34.319 bankrupt because we just print more money. You know, It's fascinating to me. 348 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:40.160 If you talk to people about their personal finances, they understand, they 349 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:45.519 understand that, you know, I have realities. I have this much money 350 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.079 coming in, I have this much money going out. I need to balance 351 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.519 that. Whatever that looks like. I need to balance that either, I 352 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.079 need to you know, maybe I need to increase my income, get another 353 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:57.960 job, whatever. Maybe I need to cut my expenses. Maybe it needs 354 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.759 to be a combination there. Maybe I need to sell some things, maybe 355 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.400 I need to downsize. I've got to make I've got to make those balance 356 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.839 somehow, right. I've got to make my priorities, my desires, and 357 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.759 my financial capabilities balance out. I can't live in a fantasy world forever. 358 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:22.319 If people understand that on a on an individual personal finance level. They understand 359 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.839 that for businesses, they understand that for churches, they understand that even at 360 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:32.440 state levels of government, although I would say people begin to blur the lines 361 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.839 there. But states can't print money. He's right about this to a point, 362 00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.039 to a point. But since states can't print money, they've got to 363 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:44.240 they've got to balance, They got to do something about it. The money's 364 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:45.720 got to come from somewhere. It doesn't come from some wink and a non 365 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:51.839 and two snaps and suddenly you have more money in the bank account because federally 366 00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:55.640 we just make we just create more money. But the reality is, for 367 00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.559 some reason, whenever we get whenever we get to the upper echelon of our 368 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:04.839 government at the federal level, I don't mean it's some way that it's better 369 00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.920 than the rest of us. I'm saying just the top levels of federal government, 370 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:15.680 fiscal, monetary, economic policy. Suddenly everything that pertains to reality and 371 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.119 real life goes out the window. Suddenly it doesn't matter to these jokers and 372 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.880 clowns, and they can just start saying things like we can never go bankrupt 373 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.440 because we'll just make more of it. And I want to talk about that 374 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.559 on the other side of the break in the time that we have available with 375 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.359 my friend, I also want to tell you that My Pillow is having their 376 00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:36.599 twenty five dollars extravaganza.

When I come back, I want to talk a 394 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.400 little bit about this fiscal policy. How for some reason, when we get 395 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.559 to the federal government level, suddenly everything we know about economics that we've learned 396 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.599 personally and through our own lives goes out the window. Quick time out, 397 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:16.440 my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends, So 398 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:23.679 why is it that once someone gets to the top levels of our federal government, 399 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:29.920 when they're sitting in the well in the White House, when they're advising 400 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.880 on monetary fiscal economic policy, to suddenly everything that we know about real life. 401 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.800 Well maybe not you and me, but why is everything that they've experienced 402 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:44.400 in real life suddenly thrown out the window? Why does it no longer cease 403 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:52.199 to matter? Well, it's interesting, my friends, because no matter how 404 00:34:52.239 --> 00:35:00.960 hard we try to escape the reality that there are realities, the truth is 405 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:07.559 we can't really escape it. This comment about the government can never really go 406 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.920 bankrupt because you just print more money, you realize how crazy that is. 407 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.400 Like, on the one hand, you can say, well, yeah, 408 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.599 that makes sense, But on the one hand, meaning if money, if 409 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.159 you just assume money has a constant value, will does pump more of it 410 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.880 into the economy. Well, the reality is the reality is that if we're 411 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:37.480 pumping more money into the economy, creating more currency than currently our output, 412 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.519 our economic output warrants, then there will be the market. It always adjusts, 413 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.280 It always seeks an equilibrium, It always seeks to find that place of 414 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.760 balance. And so if you bring a bunch of dollars into the economy out 415 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.119 of just making them up out of whole cloth, just with the wink and 416 00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:00.840 a nod, creating dollars and then releasing those into the economy, and there's 417 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.880 no corresponding real value, meaning that money doesn't really stand. There's not value 418 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:13.159 that was created that that dollar is offset against. It's just created from nothing. 419 00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:19.400 Well, my friends, this is the definition of inflation. And so 420 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:24.239 if this guy who's advising the president, which by the way, advising the 421 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:29.440 president, this is the sort of stuff that you get, the sort of 422 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:35.760 stuff you get from people who live oftentimes in a fantasy world. They live 423 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:40.960 in a fantasy world. They exist oftentimes in some sort of a college or 424 00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.920 university environment where they just can say these things and there's no direct consequence. 425 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:52.199 But there is a direct consequence in real life. That is, in fact, 426 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:57.960 what's happening here is that, I mean, there are consequences. And 427 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.440 if you create money, like let's just say we're never going to go bankrupt, 428 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.400 what does print more and more money? Well, what if it's worth 429 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.639 one percent of what it's worth today? I mean, And the more you 430 00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:15.440 produce, the more that you print, you're driving down the value of every 431 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:21.280 other dollar in existence. I mean, it doesn't take long to realize that 432 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:25.519 no matter how hard we try to live in a fantasy world, the truth 433 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:34.159 is, the truth is is that reality is necessary in all aspects of our 434 00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:40.159 lives. You can't it's unavoidable. It's unavoidable. You can't just arbitrarily say, 435 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:45.400 well, what is print more money, as though there's no other effects 436 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:50.840 that that's going to have on the economy. It's incredibly naive. I guess 437 00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:55.119 again, if your assumption is that dollars have a constant worth, an absolute 438 00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.079 value, and that people will agree that they have value no matter what you're 439 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:06.039 doing to destroy the economy. If you believe that, then I guess you 440 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:10.119 could conclude that you could never go that you could never go bankrupt because you 441 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.000 just make more. But if the more you make, the less that the 442 00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:17.639 new dollar is worth and the less that the existing dollar is worth, it 443 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:25.039 doesn't take long to realize this can be a very dangerous form of self sabotage. 444 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.760 And that's what we have today. We have people who only they pontificate. 445 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:35.800 They come up with theories that do not work in the real world. 446 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:44.760 But yet but yet they are out there changing your life and my life by 447 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.360 some of these policies, and on top of that, on top of all 448 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.920 of that, they can't even explain them because at some point this stuff is 449 00:38:52.039 --> 00:39:02.719 absolutely it's unexplainable. Things that we do remember. I remember back during wait, 450 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:08.079 it must have been during the Obama administration, when things were bad financially, 451 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:15.440 there were there was someone who started pontificating and kicking around an idea that 452 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.639 says, well, why doesn't the why don't we minant a coin and we 453 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:23.119 say that this coin is worth I don't know, twenty trillion dollars or a 454 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:27.840 trillion dollars and we say, boom, this coin's worth a trillion dollars. 455 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.800 We're going to pay down. We're going to pay down our debt. Well, 456 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.000 the problem is that the people who are getting paid for you know that 457 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.599 you're paying that debt down to whoever that is, it's going to actually be 458 00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.360 the person at the end of the line that's stuck with, you know, 459 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:51.719 taking this payment. If it's not real, then what are they getting Well, 460 00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.760 I mean, it's got to be real at some level, no matter 461 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:59.880 how much you want to again pontificate, no matter how much you want to 462 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.480 to create these elaborate theories at some point, at some point, there's a 463 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:09.679 person at the end of the line who gets the money in this case, 464 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.840 and they have to be able to do something with it. It has to 465 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.000 really pay down the debt, and it doesn't pay down the debt just because 466 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:29.599 the government somehow magically declares that it's worth something that it really isn't. The 467 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:35.800 economies that well, factors in the real world will determine what the actual value 468 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.920 is. And if what we're being told is the value and what we find 469 00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:43.960 the value to really be don't match up, the market will adjust. You 470 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:46.199 can't just wish these things into existence. Anyway. I gotta go, my 471 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:47.519 friends, have a great day. STG.
