1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,919
Germany has tipped into recession along with
the rest of Europe, like you said,

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:08,119
and they just came out their finest
minister came out and said, we

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,960
don't have any money left or the
rest of the rest of the EU,

4
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:16,960
you know. And so Germany apparently
is not going to backstop all these other

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,280
deck ridden countries in the Euro's hunt. Meanwhile, there's still shoveling money at

6
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:26,160
Ukraine. You know, They're up
to well seventy seven billion dollars so far

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,839
and they're they're headed for another seven. They've got another seventy some billion in

8
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:35,079
the pipeline, so they're they're shoveling
money out the door. You're listening to

today. Well, John, the madness

16
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,079
never stops, right, but on
good news the Fed. The Fed half

17
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,879
paused, right, they paused with
a big stick. I guess, hey,

18
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,120
Kary, Well it's not even clear
what they did or why really,

19
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,519
because yes, they did not raise
interest rates at the last meeting last week,

20
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,280
but they promised to keep raising interest
rates at future meetings, so it's

21
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:46,239
not clear anything got resolved. And
the financial markets kind of had a relief

22
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:53,040
rally in anticipation of the Fed pausing, as if that does anything. But

23
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,280
then on Friday last week everything turned
around and went back down because I think

24
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,519
people got a chance to pink it
through. And first of all, if

25
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,719
if interest rates are going to stay
this high and there was, the Fed

26
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,120
stays paused, that is basically further
tightening monetary system. Because every time any

27
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,840
any depth rolls over at the new
higher interest rate, that tightens the monetary

28
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:22,840
conditions of whoever is doing the rolling
over, So things keep getting tighter.

29
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960
And then if the Fed comes back
and does what it says it's going to

30
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,520
do and keeps raising interest rates,
then you know monetary policy is overtly tighter

31
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:35,520
going forward. Which is bad for
the financial markets. So stocks and bonds

32
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,360
might have finally concluded that we're nowhere
near the end of this, and so

33
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:44,479
stocks kind of they were up most
of the day on Friday, and then

34
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:49,719
they tanks, so there was a
triple witching options day, so that could

35
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,960
have been part of it. But
I kind of think that it was just

36
00:02:53,039 --> 00:03:00,319
the buy on the rumors, sell
on the fact or on the event kind

37
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,800
of thing where Okay, this thing
happened that we were buying about, and

38
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,759
now we realize it's not that good, so we're going to sell. And

39
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,159
I think that's really the theme going
forward, that financial assets are wildly overpriced

40
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:19,639
given today's interest rates. So unless
we cut interest rates traumatically, stocks shouldn't

41
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,960
be this high. Bonds it's hard
to know about bonds in this whole thing,

42
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,039
but stocks in real estate or get
it, they're they're vastly overpriced and

43
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,199
they need to come back down.
Yes, yep, yep, for sure.

44
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,240
And then look at what's happening in
Europe, and besides the war,

45
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,400
looks like they're they're full they have
a full blown recession going on. Yeah,

46
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:47,400
yeah, Europe is now in recession, but there's a you know,

47
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:53,240
a bigger thing at work here,
which is that the only reason the Eurozone

48
00:03:53,240 --> 00:04:01,680
as has hung together is because Germany, the European Central Bank, which Germany

49
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:06,199
controls, has been backstock stopping everybody
else. So you know, if you

50
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,919
buy an Italian bond, you're really
buying a German bond because Germany stands behind

51
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,639
the Italian bondm Well, first of
all, Germany has tipped into recession along

52
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,720
with the rest of Europe, like
you said, and they just came out

53
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,519
their finance minister came out and said, we don't have any money left or

54
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,519
the rest of the rest of the
EU, you know. And and so

55
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:32,959
Germany apparently is not going to backstop
all these other debt ridden countries in the

56
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:36,240
Euros hunt. Meanwhile, there's still
shoveling money at Ukraine. You know,

57
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,839
they're up to well seventy seven billion
dollars so far and they're they're headed for

58
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:46,680
another seven. They've got another seventies
some billion in the pipeline. So they're

59
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,199
they're shoveling money out the door when
they're desperately borrowing money just to cover day

60
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,800
to day expenses and their interest costs. Since the ECB Israel's interest rates sort

61
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,240
of the same way the Fed did. Everybody's interest costs in Europe are going

62
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,680
through the roof. Every time any
debt gets rolled over, it's at that

63
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,360
new higher rate. So Italy is
functionally bankrupt. So it's Greece and several

64
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:17,639
other European countries at these interest rates. So now we have this thing going

65
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,720
where if the ECB stays tight,
which it apparently is going to do because

66
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,959
it just raised interest rates last week, even though the FED didn't raise interest

67
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,600
rates, that means that several countries
and a whole bunch of companies and individuals

68
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,720
in Europe are going to teeter off
the cliff and then go bankrupt and they're

69
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,319
going to have this amazing, huge
financial crisis, or the ECB has to

70
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,360
reverse course in the hurry and start
cutting interest rates, which will probably impact

71
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,759
the euro. You know, it'll
tank the euro. So they're in that

72
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:58,399
box that we always said was coming, where standing pat is a disaster and

73
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,759
going back to easy money, which
always worked in the past, is now

74
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,920
a designister. Oh and another thing
that you sure is doing at the same

75
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:12,519
time is they're enacting their version of
a new Green Deal where they're they're getting

76
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,680
rid of. For instance, Germany
got rid of all of its nuclear plants

77
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:21,000
and tried to replace those with Russian
natural gas, which didn't work out too

78
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,199
well for them, and now they're
not sure what to do, but they're

79
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:30,000
going ahead with it anyhow, and
the rest of the EU is on board

80
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,680
with this, so they're you know, they're they're buying up and closing down

81
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:38,600
farms all over the place because you
know, farming is a polluting activity,

82
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,560
so it appears that you know,
they're borrowing money to fund the Ukraine War.

83
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,800
They're seizing and closing down farms.
They're mandating that all cars become electric

84
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,279
in the very new future, and
they're doing it without any sense of where

85
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:59,319
all this money is supposed to come
from, because they're out of money.

86
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:03,240
You know, they just create an
internet amount of new euros and paper over

87
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,199
all of this stuff, so it
you know, I did a piece on

88
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,399
Substack this week called easy Money Makes
You Stupid, European Edition, and it's

89
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,240
about pins and that's basically what it
is. If money is easy for too

90
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,439
long, you forget that money has
to come from somewhere, you know,

91
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,600
you think it's just something that emerges
out of thin air. Yeah yeah,

92
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:32,079
and the European leadership is in that
boat. So major crisis coming. The

93
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,399
question is what's the best way to
short European stocks right now? Well,

94
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:43,000
it's really interesting is that nat gas, which prices had really settled down they

95
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,920
were less than fifty percent what they
were at the peak, over the past

96
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,800
few weeks have gone up like fifty
plus percent, and no one can quite

97
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:58,800
figure out why, other than the
fact that Netherlands shut down the largest producing

98
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,279
nat gas field in Europe for some
reason that I haven't been able to ascertain.

99
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,000
Well, because it's a fossil fuel, so as they probably figured,

100
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,759
well, we're shutting down all our
farmers, we might as well shut down

101
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:15,079
all our natural gas production too,
um and so who knows. You know,

102
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,879
there there's really no rhyme or reason
to what Europe is doing unless you

103
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:28,160
you go meta and conclude that there
is a broader plan at work to destroy

104
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,799
the major world economies in order to
create a pretext for the imposition of central

105
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,480
bank digital currencies and and mass surveillance
and YadA yadah, you know the whole

106
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:46,159
um. Oh, what's the term
Slashwab's term um any outsum you know what,

107
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,600
the Great Reset. Yeah, so
that all pretext for the Great Reset.

108
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,960
And if you look at it that
way, that it makes some sense.

109
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,440
But if you look at it as
countries honestly trying to manage them selves

110
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:05,120
in ways that are sustainable going forward, now it makes no sense at all,

111
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,559
because they're doing the wrong thing in
every case if they want to be

112
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,879
around as they're currently configured ten years
from now. So one thing I'm adding

113
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:22,879
to this the China meltdown. So
the problem is when you're watching youtubees,

114
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:26,639
you have no idea unless they tell
you upfront, which I always do,

115
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,039
who paid for this, who's funding
this? It looks like we've got the

116
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,679
emergence of like radio free Ukraine or
Europe that has come up on YouTube's it's

117
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:46,080
kind of ultra nationalist, like America's
winning against China. But on the other

118
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,240
hand, there is a lot of
negative stuff happening in China that is more

119
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,120
or less undeniable, particularly their real
estate issue, the unemployment, youth unemployment

120
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:05,320
at like twenty nine percent, and
the demographic implosion. All these things are

121
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,559
true. Is it something they have
a handle on? Are they in control?

122
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,159
I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that there's

123
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,120
an interesting situation that, you know, we need to play a closer attention

124
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,120
to. Yeah, you know,
you can't manage your way out of a

125
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,559
financial bubble. You just you take
it to a certain point and then it

126
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,080
bursts and you have to then manage
the consequences of the bust. And so

127
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,720
China's pretty much right there. Their
real estate bubble was it looks like it

128
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:48,519
was bigger than Japan's in the nineties
and the US bubble in the two thousands,

129
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:52,840
and now yeah, yeah, and
now which our bubble is is,

130
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,799
if anything, bigger right now than
the bubble of the two thousands, But

131
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,799
it looks like China's is even bigger
than that. Something like seventy four household

132
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,840
net worth in China has wrapped up
in real estate because there was nowhere else

133
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:09,519
for Chinese people to put their money, which means it's not just a financial

134
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,600
crisis, it's a political crisis.
If seventy four percent of the country is

135
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:22,519
impoverished by something that flowed from government
policy, the Chinese leadership must be terrified

136
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,440
of the consequences of that. And
plus, you know, if people weren't

137
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,240
already really mad about real estate.
They have to be mad about lockdowns because

138
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,519
China. I mean, we were
bad. We ruined half the small businesses

139
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:41,759
in the country and costs most of
our kids one or two years of social

140
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,399
development in and you know, what
we did was terrible, but China was

141
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,120
vastly worse. You know they we
saw those videos people just locked in their

142
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:58,360
buildings going I'm hungry. Oh yeah, it's for the building was on fire,

143
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:01,279
and they still wouldn't let them out. China did that, and they're

144
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,120
people, you know, they don't
have a free media there, but there

145
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,320
people still must in fragments none,
I guess John, we don't have one

146
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,679
either. Yeah. Actually, you
know what we do. It's just not

147
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,399
the mainstream media. You know.
You and I can go online and find

148
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:24,000
Playing Greenwald today and Matt Taybe tomorrow, and then go see Joe Rogan interview

149
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,120
JFK j or RFK Junior. You
know, all of that is available to

150
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,399
us because we know where to look. You're right though, that the average

151
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:37,440
person who still wakes up in the
morning and turns on Morden Joe and then

152
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,519
watches Box or MSNBC at night,
they don't have a free press. But

153
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,120
at least it's available here and you're
not put in jail for doing it.

154
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,120
But in China it's a very dangerous
thing to do to try to get true

155
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,919
information. So presumably a lot of
their people don't know everything that's going on,

156
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,120
but you know, I think they
know enough. It'd be really mad,

157
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,200
and the government knows that and should
be terrified. They know more than

158
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,960
than we think, so you know
it all it's funny how it's all connected,

159
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:18,039
you know, their meltdown, it's
like, it's the entire world here

160
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,440
that we're talking about. It's not
just Europe or the United States that's a

161
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,159
basket case. It's in Russia.
It's the entire globe here, John,

162
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,559
you know, yeah, it's it's
absolutely global because everybody has an unlimited currency

163
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,879
printing press. So you know,
instead of country specific crises, we're gonna

164
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:41,360
have a global crisis here, and
it doesn't matter where it starts. Any

165
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,200
major country blowing up like this Europe
thing. You know, if the Eurozone

166
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:52,720
breaks up and billion dollars of Eurozone
debt reverts back to Italy and Greece and

167
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,720
becomes you know, halfway worthless in
the process, that would be enough blow

168
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,000
up the big banks who are you
know, who are dependents on that debt

169
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,639
and pension funds and insurance companies,
and then that would spread to the US,

170
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,960
and then it would spread to China. Um. And you know,

171
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,519
it's funny. They're only a handful
of countries that aren't participating in this,

172
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,399
and Switzerland is kind of sort of
one, and Russia is another one.

173
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,039
You know, they're they're not on
a debt binge, and part of that

174
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,679
is because they have so much oil, you know, they can afford to

175
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,240
finance themselves without having to borrow so
much. But but yeah, it's ironic

176
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:35,440
that Russia is actually getting it right
financially and the supposedly free, supposedly wise

177
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,320
countries of the world are just blowing
it on an epic biblical scale. And

178
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,960
it's all about to come home to
ruse. So what about talking to real

179
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:52,960
estate and CRI and all that good
stuff. Um, you know, when

180
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,159
you look at that in San Francisco, the biggest hotel reach just basically did

181
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,240
jingle male just sent the keys to
the hotels, thousands of rooms to the

182
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,120
lenders. And you know that's just
the tip of the iceberg here. Well,

183
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:15,759
San Francisco is sort of the poster
child for incredibly bad management leading to

184
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:20,879
a commercial real estate bust. And
then for them it's it's a done deal.

185
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,360
There's no out of it. There
are all these buildings out there that

186
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:30,759
are only worth half of what they're
carried on their lenders books ask so they're

187
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,240
going to be sold, or they're
going to default and directed back to the

188
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:39,440
lender or something. Something will happen
to reveal the true value. And then

189
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,559
the banks and the insurance companies and
the pension funds who own the debt or

190
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:50,080
the buildings outright are going to have
to report those losses. So it'll start

191
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,279
in San Francisco. You know,
San Francisco might not even be an actual

192
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:58,320
city ten years from now. It's
not clear what the solution is. You

193
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,440
would have to just you would have
to elect people who are functionally Republican,

194
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,840
like a Rudy Giuliani kind of mayor
there, which would never happen, but

195
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,600
you would. You would need somebody
to go in and go, Okay,

196
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:15,240
you know, from now on,
everything that's illegal is an actual crime.

197
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:21,440
We're gonna we're gonna lock you up
for sleeping on the street and for shoplifting

198
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,320
and everything, and just clean house, and that's not going to happen because

199
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,879
there is never going to be a
majority of San Franciscans who would vote for

200
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:33,480
that. But in the absence of
that, San Francisco is just going down

201
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,879
the drain now. And you know, and I don't know what the solution

202
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,639
is, except that it's one of
those laboratory of democracy things where we get

203
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:45,919
we all get to try different things, and we see how it works out,

204
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,159
and we see some models fail,
and this is going to be a

205
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,919
model that is shown to fail,
which I think will be really useful in

206
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,360
other mayorial races out there, because
you're running for city government and you've got

207
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:07,519
San Francisco to run against. That
makes a clean streets, law and order

208
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,640
platform a lot easier to sell.
So, you know, when you talk

209
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,640
about cities imploding, you know,
little violence across the country over the past

210
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:23,319
weekend shootings, mass shootings all over
the place, mostly in these failing cities,

211
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:30,720
but elsewhere as well. You know, it looks like the country is

212
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:36,279
just coming undone. Yeah, yeah, and we absolutely are, which is

213
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:40,119
basically what happens when you screw up
your financial system. You know, if

214
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,680
you borrow too much money, life
gets hard or working class people. And

215
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,400
that's the majority of the people in
the country who see the system is failing

216
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,599
them. And as Gerald Salente likes
to say, when when people lose everything,

217
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,519
they lose it. Yeah, on
last week, you know, he

218
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,160
must be having a lot of fun
with all his prediction is turning out to

219
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,160
be true here. Well, he
predicted World War three, which hopefully that

220
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,519
one doesn't work. I hope like
that one to be wrong. On Bud,

221
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,240
he predicted to this like endless war
for many, many years. He's

222
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:22,000
been talking about that, and it
looks like we're in the thick endless war.

223
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,400
And you know that I find like
completely distressing when you go back the

224
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,880
history of the United States, all
two hundred and nearly fifty years we've been

225
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,960
at this, we only had like
twelve or twenty two years of peace where

226
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,000
we weren't at war with somebody during
that time. John, Yeah, Well,

227
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,400
and it's much worse now than it
was back then. Ian It was

228
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,519
bad then, but now, I
mean, we are basically run by an

229
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:56,400
aristocracy that profits from people being sick
and from endless war. And you know,

230
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,839
they're running the government. It doesn't
matter whether there's a Republican or Democrat

231
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:07,319
president, because the people who make
policy behind the scenes are all making fortunes

232
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,480
off selling arms to every rushfire war
and every proxy war out there, and

233
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:15,680
they seem even to think that it's
worth rolling the dice on a nuclear war

234
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,680
because can you imagine the you know, we go to nuclear war, how

235
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:26,039
much it would cost to rebuild our
military afterwards, and they wouldn't make all

236
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,640
that money about it. We need
to worry about it? Then, Yeah,

237
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:37,359
this whole thing. It just and
I think that the full Biden bribery

238
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:44,000
scandal is tied in with endless war. I find it hard to believe.

239
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:49,200
I mean, obviously we're speculating here
that if Trump had been reelected that he

240
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,799
there would be a war in Ukraine. Now, I just don't think it

241
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,400
would have happened. Well, there
wasn't when he was there. So that's

242
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,680
that's the data point we've got.
We've got those four years with no new

243
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,960
wars, you know, and that's
a that's a good thing to run on

244
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,400
if you're Donald Trump, because that's
a real thing that actually happened that he

245
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,559
presided over. And so you can
you know, we can say, yeah,

246
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,319
but given two more years and we're
probably in World War three. I

247
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
mean, that's the that's why you
run against that statement of his. But

248
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:22,759
you know, he's got the evidence. You've got conjecture if you're arguing with

249
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:26,839
that, and I you know,
who would have thought that looking back on

250
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,680
the Trump years, they were the
good old days when we felt safe in

251
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,160
the years and the Bush years with
the wars and all that. Oh yeah,

252
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,480
yeah, it wasn't as bad as
this. But you know, the

253
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:48,559
Trump indictment and then they just overlook
the president's exact same misdeeds with handling classified

254
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,720
materials. Well, you know,
Carrie in Poles, now fifty of the

255
00:20:52,839 --> 00:21:03,480
usum populace sees this as a politically
motivated indictment. In other words, the

256
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,319
Biden administration using the mechanisms of government
against a political opponent. So that's that's

257
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,880
another useful data point. That means
more than half the population ceased through this

258
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,200
in Latin way, Yeah, that's
directly giving rise to RFK Junior. And

259
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:25,599
yeah, you know his popularity.
He's viewed more favorably than either Trump or

260
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,759
Biden. Do santis, but he's
more popular than them. Did you see

261
00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:36,799
the Joe Rogan interviewers just now I've
caught bits and pieces of him if you

262
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:40,759
have a chance. You know,
bucks, they got up to a million

263
00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:45,359
and a half bucks to get this
hotel's gout the debate. Kennedy, Yeah,

264
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,400
I listened to that whole three and
a half hour long thing with Joe

265
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,559
Rogan and that that's one of the
best interviews I've ever heard. And you

266
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:59,000
know, you understand RFK Junior after
that, because Joe Rogan just basically let

267
00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:00,920
him talk, you know, so
the guy got to lay out his life

268
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,400
story and the premises for his beliefs
um uninterrupted. It was. It was

269
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:12,519
brilliant on both sides. Brilliant job
by the interviewer and a brilliant job by

270
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:18,759
the subject. And uh yeah I
would after hearing that interview, I could

271
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:23,440
comfortably vote for our FK Junior,
even though you know, I think we

272
00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:30,039
disagree on a lot of um a
lot of a broad political um policy issues.

273
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,880
But you know, the guy is, first of all, incredibly articulate.

274
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,200
He's got facts and fingers and names
and dates at his fingertips. He

275
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:45,640
is not a senile old man,
and and he's something right, He's I

276
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,480
mean, he's not a young guy. He's definitely in the generation of the

277
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:52,799
senile old man that we're looking at
otherwise, but he's not one of them.

278
00:22:53,480 --> 00:23:00,440
And you know, his take on
vaccines and on the the corruption within

279
00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:06,039
the healthcare establishment, it all makes
total sense. And I don't know if

280
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,119
it's actually true, because I don't
have any way to verify what he's saying,

281
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:14,559
but it's coherent and it hangs together
and it describes the world that we

282
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,160
live in pretty well right now.
So yeah, you know, I think

283
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,079
maybe the best that we could hope
for this time, because Trump is totally

284
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960
going to get the Republican nomination if
he's not in prison, and even if

285
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,839
he is in prison, I him
there's a decent chance he just Okay,

286
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:32,559
he's in prison, he gets elected
president, he pardons himself, and he's

287
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:36,160
in charge again. But but you
know, if Trump were to say,

288
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,200
all right, elected me, and
I will take RFK Junior, and I'll

289
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,799
turn him loose on the bureaucracy,
and he'll reform the healthcare system, and

290
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:48,279
hell, we'll put him in charge
of foreign policy too. You know,

291
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,759
we'll just let this guy go in
there and clean house. That would be

292
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,359
an attractive ticket to me. You
know, the name Ron de Santis you're

293
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,240
vice president and RFK you're fixer,
and then just go for a And I've

294
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:06,039
not really heard either of them going
after the other, you know, RFK,

295
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,039
and really haven't I suspect the you
know, RFK talked about Trump in

296
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,039
that Rogan interview and he was respectful. You know, he didn't say he

297
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,279
liked Trump or anything, but he
he said that he got why Trump was

298
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,839
popular because Trump is speaking the language
of disenfranchised working people, and so he

299
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,599
gets it, you know, which, which that's half the battle right there.

300
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:36,960
If you understand why Trump is popular, um, you have a view

301
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,039
of the political landscape that most politicians
don't have right there. Look, if

302
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:45,880
anyone has a right to be a
conspiracy theorist, it's a Kennedy. Yeah,

303
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,920
yeah, really, it's a Kennedy. Matt. I gotta tell you,

304
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,680
like, people are onto this.
I had a guy installing a sink,

305
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,160
African American guy, really beautiful guy, amazing guy, hard worker and

306
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,200
good person, and we're talking about
it and basically we agreed, they're just

307
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:10,200
trying to divide us and make us
hate each other because then we don't pay

308
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,599
attention to the real issue that's really
what this whole thing is about. So

309
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:23,079
demonization and fear and manipulation, that's
the language of the our elites. Our

310
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:30,160
governors are governing an unelected governing body. That's that's the language. That's how

311
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,079
they stay in power. So if
you were to get a Trump and an

312
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,200
RFK together, you know, who
knows? Huh, who knows? But

313
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,799
you know, Kennedy's don't have the
longest or the greatest the life expectancy when

314
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:49,599
they enter politics. You know,
Noah, he's he's been very brave by

315
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,920
running, well, running on the
platform, but he's running on my god,

316
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:59,319
you know, And anybody who runs
for president on a platform of getting

317
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:07,880
the corruption out of the healthcare establishment
and shutting down the military empire, their

318
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,839
life expectancies in the weeks well,
you know, he told the story RFK

319
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,720
did of his I guess his uncle
John Kennedy, whom they had a lot

320
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,680
of advisors in Vietnam and some of
them were getting killed, and that John

321
00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:26,000
Kennedy didn't like seeing US soldiers be
killed, and he said, pull him

322
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,279
out. He gave that order,
the pull out of Vietnam. Three weeks

323
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,319
later he was dead. Yeah,
and uh, and again I don't you

324
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,640
know, I don't know about the
details of that timeline or anything, but

325
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:42,759
you know, it does make sense
because Kennedy was definitely a skeptic of the

326
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:48,160
military industrial complex, and he despite
everybody advising him to go to war a

327
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,519
couple of times, he decided not
to do it. So it's easy for

328
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,319
to envision him butting heads with the
CIA, and for the CIA deciding screw

329
00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:00,039
it, we're just going to take
him out. You know, that's that

330
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:06,559
hangs together very easily as a scenario
that could have happened. So how that's

331
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:11,880
consistent what everybody involved. He had
a bunch of enemies, the MOM,

332
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:15,359
the intelligence community, the oil industry
because he wanted to get rid of the

333
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:22,640
depletion allowance, which basically enables most, if not all, oil companies to

334
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,880
virtually to further taxes indefinitely. As
long as they keep producing more and more

335
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,640
oil, their depletion allowance goes up
and up, and they as they pump,

336
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,279
they depreciate the wells, and basically, without getting into a full blown

337
00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:44,440
explanation, this is how they pay
limited taxes, certainly the smaller oil companies,

338
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,839
maybe not the large multinationals. And
you know, he had a lot

339
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:56,119
of enemies, and you know,
just like the movie Casino, you know,

340
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,000
with the Joe Pesci's character that there's
a lot of holes in the desert

341
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,039
and a lot of problems been solved
in those holes. Yeah, don't don't.

342
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,720
Don't forget l LBJ too, because
apparently Kennedy was getting ready to drop

343
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,119
LBJ from the ticket for the next
election, and LBJ was being investigated and

344
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,279
would have been indicted for corruption if
he wasn't immune by being vice president.

345
00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:27,640
So he had a really good m
motive for killing j Okay follow the money

346
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,200
who became president? Yeah, yeah, he knew, like he always his

347
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,319
father died young, all of his
male relatives died young. If you read

348
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,039
the Robert Cairo book Rise to Power, he always knew that he was going

349
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:48,200
to die young. And as a
result the you know, this was his

350
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:52,880
only shot to become president. Yeah, maybe he took it. You know.

351
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,759
You know, just as a general
rule, most vice presidents would kill

352
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,240
the president if they knew they could
get away with it. We can't say

353
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,720
that, right, We're an arst
assistant. And to that point, yeah,

354
00:29:03,079 --> 00:29:07,799
they at Reagan, you know,
one hundred seventy days into his term,

355
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,839
he was shot, and who was
going to become president then? Either?

356
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:18,079
You know, the former head of
the CIA was going to become president?

357
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,519
Right, Yeah, it wasn't Bush. Bush was the BP under Reagan,

358
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,200
wasn't Yeah, okay, and he
was the former head of the CIA.

359
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:33,200
Something. Why would you name a
CIA agent as your vice president and

360
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,839
give him an incentive to kill you
if you're the president? You know,

361
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:38,240
it just doesn't seem like a It
makes sense, but it didn't work,

362
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:42,759
man Like they failed. That's the
thing. The hit on JFK, assuming

363
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:47,599
it was a hit, was really
sloppy. There was two sentence, which

364
00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:52,240
is why all these people are dead
and why all all you know they had

365
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,559
to step in and do the cover
up in the war and commission and all

366
00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:00,200
of that. And who was a
who ran the war and commissions? I

367
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,559
think it was Dollas John Foster Dallas, who JFK had fired as headed the

368
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:10,440
CIA. Um, you know,
all these little pieces, but let's not

369
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,559
relive that. But yeah, this
is going to be an election like no

370
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:22,000
other one here because RFK is going
to be a player. And what will

371
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:26,000
it take for him to back down? What will they be able to do

372
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,960
or throw at him? You know, like you think you think they had

373
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,359
a dossier on Trump even though it
was all fake. They got a dossier

374
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,880
on RFK. But he's smart,
he's admitting all of his his sins upfront,

375
00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:48,319
and well, you know, in
today's world, um, it's not

376
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,000
clear what could be in his dossier
that would get him disqualified, right,

377
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,440
because it's already been done. Like
Huey Long, I think it was the

378
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:00,599
young ya you can't touch me unless
you kept catching me with a dead girl

379
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,400
or a live boy. And you
know it's possible even that wouldn't do it

380
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:11,640
these days, And we could get
into maybe Huey Long was a political hit

381
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:19,920
from from FDR. He was a
populist and he was threatening all of this,

382
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:22,599
and you know, there were a
lot of people that weren't happy with

383
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:29,200
the New Deal and the socialist trend
at the country was heading in. So

384
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:36,359
hue Long really kind of symbolized all
that, and he was certainly no choir

385
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,759
boy Old Hue. I wonder if
the aliens have been watching us long enough

386
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:44,480
to know the truth about all this
stuff, and they could tell us what

387
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,079
really happened and every single one of
these things that would be cool. I

388
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:55,839
guarantee it's all in Hillary's emails.
Yeah, confidential documents. They're only important

389
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:02,440
depending who's holding onto them, right
Yeah, Like, well, hey,

390
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,240

week. We covered a lot of territory
