Speaker 1: Two things. I just saw a story about, well, we
were talking about the cats and dogs being eaten in Ohio,
but I just saw a story just today about how
the street gangs in Chicago are now going to war
with the Venezuelan gangs that the US is importing. So
we've got this big gang war going on, and we've
got the gang bangers in Chicago becoming Trump voters.

Speaker 3: Welcome you are listening to and watching Financial Survival Network.
I'm Carrie Let's. Your host John Ravino is with us
after a long Hey, otis John? What are they eating
here in Springfield, Ohio? Are they eating the cats? Are
they eating the dogs? Or is this all just a
sigment of our collective imagination here? Yeah, you got to
wonder what they're doing to Ohio. You know what the
problem is because I grew up in Ohio. Actually, I
was not too far from East Palestine where that train
blew up, and Springfield is not that far away either,
And now we've got yeah, they're eating the cats and
dogs in Ohio. You know, I have no idea about
the veracity of a lot of this stuff, but it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: You know. You got to admit it's just damn funny,
you know, to have this stuff going on right now,
because it's creating a lot of very cool memes and
videos and things out there so far, inspiration for a
lot of people. But I know, I know. And by
the way, Kere, congratulations on being out of YouTube jail.
I'm looking forward to being seen on this show by
the audience you should have had all along, which is
ten times what YouTube let you have there for a while, so.
Speaker 3: I mean good news. Yeah, I had two, like Martin Armstrong,
one hundred and thirty thousand views, which I had had
in the past before I wound up in YouTube in
the digital re education arct what do you call that?
The digital re education camps and the gulags. I was
in the gulag. I wasn't in the camp. And and
Andy Sheckman, he did about forty thousand or so, so
we're free.
Speaker 1: Well see, that's the that's the viewership you should have
had all along. So it's nice to see you get
it back. And you know, be grateful that he was
just digital gulog because you know, they've got all this
internment camps out there, and I you know, I think
that people on our side of the political spectrum are
probably destined for those camps before all of a sudden
and done.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll tell you, like, countries have been exporting
their undesirables to this country since Georgia and the Carolinas
remembered they were pedal colonies and indentured servant servants, indentured
servitude which was specifically gone away with in the Constitution.
But you know, in later times, latter times in the seventies,
Cuba did the Marrio boat lift where they empty their
mental hospitals and their prisons and said, hey, the streets
are paved with gold in America, go there and make
your fortune. And South Florida has never been the same. Now,
I'm not putting down the Cuban community. Honestly, they make
more than Native Americans and it's vibrant, but the jails
in South Florida were never the same. The law enforcement,
the lawlessness that occurred as a result of that boat lift,
and Venezuela and Colombia and all the countries of South America.
I guess we should be glad that did it. El
Salvador built their super max prison, Otherwise they would have
shipped them all off here as well. Right, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Open borders can have only two points, only reason, only
two reasons for existing. One is to flood a country
with new voters. We're going to vote for the people
who let them in in order to give one political
party a big advantage over the other. And that's that's obvious,
and I think that's indisputable. And the other is to
destabilize the society and set the stage for martial law.
And that's that's a little more arguable. But I think
that's completely possible too, that that's one of the reasons
that we have open borders now. And you know, both
of them are very bad, and both of them are
leading to just crazy stuff happening. Two things. I just
saw a story about what we were talking about, the
cats and dogs being eaten in Ohio. But I just
saw a story just today about how the street gangs
in Chicago are now going to war with the Venezuelan
gangs that the US is importing. So we've got this
big gang war going on, and we've got the the
gang bangers in Chicago becoming Trump voters because they know
who to blame for the extra competition that they're seeing.
And so this is going to be I mean, this
isn't going to end anytime soon because you know that
nothing's going to happen to send those Venezuelans back at
least for the next six or seven months probably, and
that means you're literally going to have gang wars there
between existing gangs and new gangs coming in and trying
to take over. So yeah, it's it's just a shocking
thing that we did because none of it is actually
good for the US. It helps one political party where
it helps the you know, the aristocracy when they want
to declare martial law, but it doesn't help the country
as a whole in any way, shape or form, you know.
And I think there will be political consequences for this,
but I'm not sure they're going to be sufficient to
offset the harm that is being caused by open borders.
And you know, just look at where we're going to
be five or ten years from now. Look at Europe.
I think Europe might be gone. Europe is beyond redemption
right now because the demographics have moved so dramatically against
native born Europeans that that culture is on the way out.
And so hopefully, you know, because there's nothing we can
do to help, but hopefully that is an object lesson
for us, and maybe we'll learn that lesson before it's
too late. But man, it's like the guys in charge
don't really want to learn that lesson at all.
Speaker 3: And you know, well, we don't want to get too
political here, but I think this is the defining now
that the statistics have come out that we imported deliberately
over thirteen thousand murderers and fifteen thousand sex offenders and
god knows what else six hundred thousand criminals, And what's
the purpose for allowing them into this country other than
to raise mayheon and to break down the societal order.
That's Cloward Piven on steroids using the penal system, and
the only way that you can combat it is through
some type of martial law or just saying hey, they're
illegal aliens, you don't get any constitutional protections. You're out
of here. And then you just put them on a
ship and you send them back to Venezuela, to Honduras,
to all these countries, to Haiti wherever they come from,
and say, you know they're your problem. You know, have
at it. But there's millions of them that have come
in over the border. And you know, we do want
the hard working one. They do play a vital role,
but look like like I laughingly say Biden's three major
accomplishments in his term, John of his number. Once, he
ended a useless war in Afghanistan, brought our troops home.
Speaker 1: In a week.
Speaker 3: Right, He ended the labor shortage that we were having
after COVID, Right, and we talked about this before. He
rescued the hotel industry, especially in New York and Chicago.
Speaker 1: And La Right. Yeah, yeah, he did do all of
those things. You are absolutely those are his accomplishments. Okay,
leading from here to World War three, speaking of Biden's accomplishments, yeah, well,
you know, we are seriously drifting into a shooting war
with nuclear powers, and we got a dementia patient as
president the vice president, and it is running a political
campaign where, you know, which might be better than having
I don't want to get too political, but i'm you know,
as a father of two sons, I'm terrified of us
going up going to war with nuclear powers, and it
really does feel like we're doing that. So yeah, you know,
it's uh, there's stuff we can laugh about, and then
there's other stuff that is in no way funny. You know,
there's nothing funny about nuclear armageddon, and we're probably as
close to that as we have been since you and
I have been alive. Carrie. You know that the sixties
and seventies were pretty contentious globally, but I think this
is worse. And so if we get through the next
six months, I think we'll have a little bit of
breathing room and maybe see some you know, clear clear
ground to do some work on. But boy, the next
six months are going to be scary times.
Speaker 3: You know, all of these neo cons grew up in
the sixties and they listened to Randy Newman, if you
remember him, He had a song they all hate us anyhow,
so let's drop the big one now. And they didn't
realize that that was satire. They thought that should be
government policy.
Speaker 1: Well, was that song in Doctor Strangelove, Because if it was,
that's I think that movie. Okay, I think that movie
was a template for these guys too, because the aristocracy
had bunkers. Right at the end, Doctor Strangelove is telling
the generals and everybody that they've set up a bunch
of bunkers and now we have to repopulate the earth.
So we've brought in a lot of healthy young women
to help you repopulate the earth. Genitals are like, oh,
all right, when do you put it that way? And
I really do think that the billionaires of the world
and the other parts of the aristocracy have their bunkers.
They literally think they can survive on nuclear war, and
so they just basically don't care what happens to the peasants,
and so they're not putting it. Stop to this.
Speaker 3: Here's verse one. No one likes us. I don't know why.
We may not be perfect, but Heaven knows, we try,
and all around the world, even our old friends put
us down. Let's drop the big one and see what happens.
This is what we're going through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are were very close to something like that. Yeah,
you know, we're trying to destroy civilization via open borders,
and we're coming at it from another direction, trying to
destroy civilization via a you know, potentially existential war, and
there's nothing we can do about it because we don't
even know who's in charge. Ah what a world.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, according to a certain element of this group,
we're all a bunch of useless eaters. The world is
overpopulated by about ninety percent. So they're doing the Earth
a favor by reducing a population, right, isn't that what
it's about?
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, they've already figured out how to
do pandemics, and that's so much leaner. It seems so
much simpler than well they got all the practice. Yeah,
they've gotten practice. So yeah, they figured out that they
can do it now. So that's all on the list
of things.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, if we don't have World War three, think
how much your gold and silver are now going to
be worth.
Speaker 1: See, that's the trade off. Okay, I don't want to
say that's the most frustrating thing about this, but it is.
It is making it hard for me to enjoy watching
my big old stack of gold and silver go up
in value. You know, having lots of recapital will play
with is a good thing until the bomb hits your town,
you know, in your vaporize. So so if they would
just let me stop worrying about it, I would really
enjoy the whole gold and silver action. Lately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's a little tough when you're dealing with
existential threats. But but I do believe we're going to
somehow avoid this. But I do wonder who's watching the store,
because it's nobody we elected, who in theory is supposed
to do this stuff, is paying any attention to it.
So it's all the deep state, I guess that's running things.
It's the Joint chiefs of Staff. It's the heads of
the State Department, it's the CEOs of the defense and
pharmaceutical companies, and it's a handful of other people are
just very rich and very powerful. Yeah, Bill Gates is
weighing in on this, you know, and George short Did
you see what they did with George Soros just lately,
his son. Yeah, they expedited the purchase by the Soros
companies of two hundred more. It was a radio or
TV stesh. Conservative radio stations are buying out the chain.
They'll throw off everybody but you know, the thing is
that talk radio it still has a following, but it's
been in a steady death spiral since Russia Linla died,
and demographically it's just like the younger generations don't have
any patients for talk radio.
Speaker 1: No, no, still though, you know, those are media outlets
that are going to have a very different message put
into them by somebody from another country with a billion
dollars to play with, and whose attitude is that open
borders are a good thing. So yeah, it's not good.
But you're right, talk radio is is losing ground to podcasts.
So as long as you've got YouTube, which is you know,
Iffy on a lot of things and Rumble and Spotify,
you can still hear most of the good voices out there.
But but you know, the next thing is just to
come after them, and they're they're trying that hard with
with arresting the guy from what was the name of
that place, you know, the the the free speech. Oh,
I'll think of it in a minute, yeah, yeah, you
know what I mean. In Europe and France they write, yes,
that was a telegram, telegram, yeah, telegram.
Speaker 3: And think about that. They let him go subsequently, but
he had.
Speaker 1: To submit to some things, and he's now he's now
providing information about his people to the governments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is alarming because a lot of people use telegram.
I don't personally use it. There's only so many platforms
you can use. And then your head starts spinning. I
kind of got into TikTok a little bit, and but
TikTok is for people with no more than a forty
five second attention.
Speaker 1: Span, right, yeah, and it's it's in no way private, no,
So you're just you're just funneling information to the Chinese
government instead of the US government. So you know that
there's there are very few free speech platforms and very
few private platforms out and they're they're shrinking by the day.
But but you know that there's still hope because a
lot of people are watching this and they're coming to
the correct conclusion. But that speech is the only thing
that stands between us and them and them, you know,
they who wanted to take over the world and run
it as a dictatorship shouldn't be in charge.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see it's yeah, I see it. What
you're talking about. This is not an ad for Trump.
You know, you and I both know he's not the answer.
He's never really ever squarely addressed the deficit or a
lot of other problems that we have in the country. Obviously,
he's hell bent on addressing the military industrial complex now
though in the deep state, And you know, if I
were them, I'd be a little bit concerned, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, if Trump came in and he wanted
revenge and he went for it, that would be bad
for the country in the long run because it would
set a precedent. But that's what incoming administrations do. They
go they take out their own competition. But sure would
be hilarious to watch. Would be just the most entertaining
thing in the world to see, like Nancy Pelosi being
purple locked in in handcuffs for insider trading or Hillary
Oh my god.
Speaker 3: No, march them all off the get mo marsh seventh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean again, I'm I'm not saying it would
be a good thing, but it would be hilarious. Some
bad things are hilarious. It's not a good waying and.
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily an undeserved uh punishment for them, because
what they've done, the way they've come after him is
just the you know it's shocking.
Speaker 1: Well I mean really, I mean, they they'd weaponize the
Justice Department, and they've got the FBI, you know, actively
covering up investor engations into into things relating to Trump,
and you get the Justice Department expediting every kind of
indictment that you can think of. So you know, it's
obvious that's what's happening. And I do not want Trump
to emulate that kind of behavior. If you selected, maybe
just like one week of turp walking these guys, you know,
they'll get Juck Schumer and they desert put him in
a prison orange prison jumpsuit, and pretty much yeah, okay,
well they hesitate to do it to him John, Oh,
of course not, of course not. But again, see, we
want to go back to being a country that has
some respect.
Speaker 3: For the rule of laws.
Speaker 1: And the only way you can do that is to
not use the government as a political weapon against your enemies.
You know, you have to you have to make everything
about the law and not about your your penal preferences
or your desire for revenge. And so you know, hopefully
Trump takes that route and and his own success is
his revenge.
Speaker 3: Well that's what gys.
Speaker 1: But not it. Well, I mean, it's understandable if he
feels differently, you know, if he wants to to send
a Justice Department after some of these guys for the
real crimes that they've committed. I get it. I just
I don't know where that leads. I don't know if
it leads to a place that will be happy to
be in the future, you know.
Speaker 3: And it's like the average person will not be able
to differentiate him doing it as opposed to what Biden
did to him.
Speaker 1: They won't. Yeah, it'll just be what you do when
you're elected, you know, Kerry, Remember when you and I
used to just talk about financial crises and how to
get rich from them. That was a long time ago,
you're I mean, your your show is Financial Survival Network,
and I used to run Dollar Collapse dot com, you know,
and that, so finance was our thing until politics and
geopolitics almost made finance irrelevant. Because obviously gold and silver
is going to go up in the chaos that's coming.
Obviously oil is going to go up when we have
a Middle Eastern nuclear works. So the investment part of
this gets really easy, which I guess we should be
thankful for, you know, there's no real thought process that
has to go into buying all the gold you can
get a hold of, and then a bunch of energy
assets on the side, and then just sitting back and
watching chaos and sue and watching your net worth go up.
But you know, it was more fun when we had
to strategize a little bit.
Speaker 3: You have to think, like, yeah, it's like the nifty
to fifty stocks. You know, you buy them one decision stocks,
and your your set for life. Now it's a one decision,
two decisions how much gold, how much silver you can afford? Yeah,
and then you sit back.
Speaker 1: The difference is the nifty fifty stocks were a mirage.
They tanked cost everybody fortunes who put money into it.
But gold and silver are like that, you know, one
decision asset where it's it's gonna go up for quite
a while. You know, we're gonna have plenty of time
to get out of our gold and silver in the
next decade because there's so much brontloaded chaos right now
that you know it's unfixable from the point of view
of us going back to a placid society that could
get organically in a help you with. It's going to
take a really long time to get back there, and
in the meantime, terrified people are going to be buying
inflation hedges and safe haven assets.
Speaker 3: So it is scary. But what choice do you have.
And just because the country is going down the tubes,
as we used to say, it doesn't mean you have
to go with it, or at least you got a
means of self preservation. But yeah, this is the situation
that doesn't show any signs of the improved itself. We
need is a mass raising of consciousness around the globe
that our governments are really not to be trusted and
they need to be thrown out and we need to
to kind of start over here. But hey, ites the
idea of it actually happening, I don't. I don't hold
that any great hope. Well, I think we'll leave it
at that. We had a couple of good laughs, and
we're following the Springfield, Ohio story closely to see what
when they start shipping the products out of Springfield. Well, no,
it was true, right John. Yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard to know where that goes because that's you know,
it's hard to picture a town getting having a population
go up by one third from people from you know,
very different cultures, and how you make that work, you know,
it's it's not obvious how you make it work. So
we'll see. But I think the gang were in Chicago.
I would bet on the local gang. There's an awful
lot of them, but you never know, those Badazuelan ones
are tough and brutal.
Speaker 3: Let's not forget they have a rich culture of gang
warfare going back to al Capone and the Saint Valentine
State massacre. And you know, these these Chicago gangs, they're
very tough and they don't take competitive threats lately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, they should be on one of those betting sites.
A Chicago body count over under a bet. Yeah, where
you bet is it going to be more than ten
thousand dead people this year or less than ten thousand?
And you can bet on that. So I think that
would be one of the most popular bets.
Speaker 3: And no wonder, like all those people from Chicago are
coming to Arizona and to Florida, tons of Midwesterners here.
It would have come anyway, just to get away from
the awful weather. Kind of flying bullets, just an added
incentive to get out of that place.
Speaker 1: You know, oh, you mean the Venezuelan gangs and never
get here. Okay, Well, good luck to them in the sunbelt.
I think the populace is well enough armed. But we
know who's going to win that for sure. Well, Colorado.
We know they're in Colorado.
Speaker 3: They took over the place in Aurora that everybody denies. Well,
it's definitely going to get interesting. And you know, one
of our colleagues said, God, gold and guns, and don't
forget the AMMO. Stock up on the AMMO and I
don't know what else. Probably some food and a water
filter and a backup generator is probably not a bad
idea either, John. Indeed, time to be preppers. All right, Well,
make sure you go over to John's substack rabino dot

it's this interview on our site, Financial Survival Network. And

so you'll get notification of all our latest interviews and
other stuff. We had a guy on the other day, John,
who they've figured out how to use iras for bitcoin. Now,
if you could believe it, it was.
Speaker 1: Just a matter of time. You know. They's something to
look into. And see how they work. We should tamp
you gold? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why not? So all right, John, we'll talk to you
in a couple of weeks. Be well, you too.
Speaker 1: Care, good care.
