Hello everybody and welcome to this Signal Hour where of course we are discussing the signal within the signal. We're trying to get the noise out of our day. And this is going to be a very special Signal Hour because we're doing something new this time. But first, Evie. Hi, good afternoon.

It's good to be here with everybody. Say hello to everybody. And Nick, if you're listening, we have a warning message here from Odyssey Premium. So just let me know in the chat or something what we're gonna do about that and in the meantime we have a huge amount to talk about and so by the way as you know EV we at Peak Prosperity our motto is information you can't afford to live without and we would have spelled information out except it didn't fit So it says info you can't afford to live without fill in the blanks

We trust our our people to to get that and by the way, I have to talk about this this new format And we're having another episode per week We've gotten a lot of feedback from a lot of people about the signal hour. They're saying more please So we're adding one on Friday same time Wednesday. You're here at the Wednesday one o'clock Eastern signal hour and we're also gonna have one on Friday now and by the way, this also has I know you don't like change who does But there's another component to this which is that this is the signal hour. It's gonna run an hour we're gonna have more to talk about after that and so we're gonna go into a But there's another component to this, which is that this is the signal hour. It's going to run an hour.

We're going to have more to talk about after that. And so we're going to go into a continuous continue the show. But that is for our subscribers. And we are a subscriber supported endeavor here. And by the way, you know why that's so important? Tell me. I mean, I think I have an opinion. What's yours?

Well, let's hear yours first. Subscriber supported? I think it's great because we can talk about what our subscribers want to hear and we're not controlled by YouTube as much because traditionally if we get a strike because we say something that YouTube decides is offensive then we end up not being able to reach you. So if you support us by subscription, then you know that you're going to be getting a good dose of reality and helpful information in a timely manner. Yeah.

It's, I would like to tell you it's because I'm noble. And I am I am I actually really really believe in Giving you my unvarnished truth telling you what I exactly what I think Having the luxury of being wrong and then changing my mind when new information comes along all of that. So I also believe fully as you know in Warren Buffett's right-hand man Charlie Munger who said, you show me the incentive, I'll show you the outcome. So when I said, I'd like to say I'm all noble and all that, but I'm shaped by incentives

too. So if we had, let's say, 80% of our revenue came from General Motors in advertising revenue, I would have to think carefully about what I said about General Motors and hedge, even if they had a car that blew up every time it ran into a shopping cart. I would have to like, you know, it would, it would shape me. So we are completely 100% supported by our subscribers who get a great value for the deal and also by our affiliates who are very carefully selected

and we never ever would use an affiliate who we don't also use the product and believe in it. So that's that's our whole model. That's true. This much from from advertisers. And I would say that it's also this. It's a beautiful like two way relationship. So when we are building a community of subscribers, it's not just about delivering content, it's about relationships. And we get to come into knowing one another in a deeper level in a deeper way and to have those important discussions, to be able to bring your questions somewhere, and to have them heard and discussed openly with people who also believe in free speech is really critical. So,

Oh, and I don't know what this, whether this is a pro or a, uh, a negative comment, Juvent. Yes. We promote Juvent. Evie, we have one in our kitchen. We do, we do. And we use that. And we use it. And, um, so I just have to put, um, as an aside for today, I have a terrible head cold. So apologies. If I'm sniffling and stuffy. I'm going to do the best I can. I feel like I'm on another planet at the moment. Thanks for being a trooper. Talking in, of course you gave it to me too. Sharing is sharing.

I don't know. Sharing is caring. At any rate, so that's it. That's what we got. And by the way, for Peak Prosperity members, you just, you would follow that link. Remember, we always have a discussion going on back at Peak Prosperity. And Aas asked a question, said, hey, thanks for doing a premium version of this, which is coming next zero hedge story about the first victim of the basis trade, which is a wonky thing happening in the bond market, but oh my goodness, it's blowing up. And so we're going to have to talk about that. And by way let's get started so Evie yeah what are they protesting about out there in

the world you know good question I'm not sure I know from you took me to a Facebook page you're like look Chris it's your sister in Canandaigua New York and she has some sign out there like Elon's not my king or something like that and I was like Hmm, so I go to Facebook and I go to these are entirely pulled from upstate, New York So we also have some very good friends in upstate, New York who I know don't think this way So we're not picking on upstate, New York except that's where I spent all my childhoods I feel connected to it Yeah, family that goes back hundreds of years from the Rochester area literally. I mean what first arrived in the 1600s, I think

So been there a long time. So I have some attachment to it. So it actually causes me some hurt to see things like like this Boomers boomers everywhere, but not a drop to drink so So What do you make of these signs? What is being communicated? So we're wrapped in a Ukraine flag doubtful the woman could find it on a map without like you know probably not Words drawn in and arrows pointing at

it. Right. And if you asked her to talk about what's actually happening over there, she wouldn't know. Hadn't seen footage about how many deaths were on either side of that. And they're still going with that totally discredited Russia gate elect Putin vote Republican like Republicans are for Putin. And we've all agreed Putin is the worst guy ever. Right? Of course they have no context. They don't understand what happened with the European Association agreement in 2013. They don't understand the so-called Maidan revolution.

They don't understand the Minsk 1, the Minsk 2 agreements. They don't understand that they're standing with Ukraine people. They stood with killed 14,000 civilians by shelling farmers markets from Western Ukraine into Eastern Ukraine before Putin finally stepped in and said enough of that nonsense. Right? Yeah. So obviously they are pro shelling civilians of farmers markets.

That's all I can conclude from this. Or they're too ignorant and they know not what they protest for I think it's probably the latter probably like the stand with Ukraine sign it also looks like it's kind of saying stand with the UK right and all their ridiculous decisions that they're making right now yep that aren't based in reality yeah so those are your kin huh They come from the region of my kin. How about this one? Let me guess.

Probably a teacher who goes to plays. Hands off education in the arts, but start noticing the hands off. This is a little thing you're going to be seeing here. So one of the other things I've noticed of the boomers of late has been that they are very clearly saying, I want what I like and they don't care about anybody else. Right. So, and I didn't cherry pick, I actually looked hard to disprove my thesis and I

looked hard, Evie, for any sign that said what they stood for. Right. Okay. So this one is close as you can get there are four education in the arts but of course I think you'd have to flesh the argument out a little bit and say well which arts is this one where they tape banana to a wall and call it modern art is this education where we do worse and worse and worse and our kids are unable to reason or education where we're having them read like sexually explicit books

yes that we're talking about elementary school that are totally inappropriate so just just asking so this is this was for right but here's a boomer he wants his PBS he wants his NPR and he likes the Smithsonian with a lowercase H for some reason the middle of the whole thing I don't understand what that's about Smith Sony and get just fell down good yeah I think you're right I think With a lower case H for some reason, the middle of the whole thing, I don't understand what that's about. Smitt, Sonia. I think it just fell down. Good, yeah, I think you're right. I think it's peeling.

It's just peeling. It's flaccid. Right, bad, yeah, really bad location on that one. Just saying. At any rate, so hands off, hands off. Hands off our athletes, hands off our jobs. Hands off, look at that guy in the Hands off our athletes, hands off our jobs. Hands off. Look at that guy in the back.

No kings. Yes to kids. Yes kids. Okay. I hope he meant that in the appropriate way, but maybe he's one of those story time reading hour guys. We don't know. No Putin.

Yes to Ukraine and Palestine. No Doge. Yes to science. No cruelty. Yes to farmers. No Trump. Okay. Yes to Ukraine and Palestine. No Doge. Yes to science. No cruelty. Yes to farmers. No Trump. Okay. Yes to farmers.

I'm good with that. No cruelty. I can get off, but look at that. Republicans hands off our tax money. Is that like our democracy? I'm getting the flavor here. I think so. I think so.

Yeah. It's like, shouldn't we all come to an agreement about how our tax money? No, no, no. We'll make the decision. PBS. Yeah. NPR. And last thing I knew, like Republicans were starting to spend less money, not more. Yeah. And they were freeing funds up. So it's just kind of ridiculous.

Yeah. Why isn't spending your tax money appropriately and non-wastefully? I don't understand why that isn't 100% Venn diagram overlap. I don don't get that We should all be in agreement. But the other thing that these people were really against was Deporting they didn't want anybody deported right because this would be terrible These people are here illegally and we're deporting them for no good reason except they're here illegally right They deserve Social Security and all the benefits that come along with being an American for no good reason yep I mean other than they yeah so at any rate um that's that's part of the deal now so so hands off our tech but I will tell you that this lady is for deporting Elon Musk even though so I guess she's

okay with deporting people who haven't broken any laws. We should only break deport people who don't break laws, save the migrants, but deport Elon Musk. We won't deport the illegal people, but we have to deport this guy because he's volunteering his time to try and save money for the American people. Yeah, I guess. I guess. I guess that's why it's incoherent. That's what I'm really driving to here. This is just fully 100% incoherent, right? So, okay. At any rate, you has anybody else seen these protests out there in the world? I'm wondering if people listening have also driven by any of these Tesla protests. I don't know if they're still going on. Well this was a big day. This was another one of these big coordinated days. I'll get to that in just a second what that was. But

how about this one? Stop the lies and science is real. No human is illegal. So stop the lies. Okay. Well I don't recall seeing this kind of organized anger about stopping the lies because I agree we should stop the lies but I don't recall that when it came to this. We have all the vaccines we need. We just need our people to take it. A, for their own protection for the protection of their family, but also to break the chain of transmission because there's this feeling. Well, I'm young, I'm healthy. If I get infected, the likelihood of my having any symptoms is very low. So who cares? You should care because if you get infected and you're not vaccinated, there is

likelihood that you will of the continuation of th You will be part of the d of the chain of transmissi way of saying these stop but they don't work and we knew that where are these people stop the lies right they should be safe they should be really screaming about what Fauci was up to this is this is pretty bad that would

be good it's terrible a good start I mean I don't know when their morality kicks in maybe it just kicked in in 2025 I'm yeah I don't know. Yep. And we got a ghost in the machine today. Yeah, we do. Very quickly, Nick, if you're listening, we are still getting these error messages that say we have a problem with the premium stream. So see if you can get that worked out. So I know that when we get to the top of the hour what to do so um back to the story this is Chris so so here he is lying lying about something that's now provably very very wrong this is if you believe in Fauci still that means you're anti-science and you believe in lying okay and that's a problem here so this has been the situation for quite a while it's so painful to listen to him still yeah it gets worse doesn't it well it does it's getting harder and harder By the way, I could do an entire episode and what's just come out of late. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah

Well It turns out that they hid a lot of emails and inside of NIH Still that we're finding out about now That show that they knew that this came out of a lab and they chose to conspire to hide that from everybody. Presumably because the best we could say is because that was embarrassing for them. The worst we could say is because they were in on it and this was on a whole event 201 release this whole thing in the population specifically to run your

military grade programs to Psy- sigh up everybody see how important and powerful fear-based programming can be based on the signs I'm seeing in Canandigua pretty powerful really messed people's heads up and they have not yet recovered from that and then finally to deliver an untested medical product into their arms with some other known unknown purposes but when we look at how the Jabs actually came out we find out that they are highly highly toxic built around completely toxic product which is the spike protein not a fragment of it the whole thing and they furthermore had discovered that there was one of the jabs was much

worse than all the rest and that that was the one wouldn't you know it that they were most aggressively pushing which is the Pfizer jab because it came with DNA contamination that became part of the lipid transfection vehicles of people's DNA got messed with and of course this has led to now we believe a lot of turbo cancers that we're seeing and other things like that. So people who would conspire to hide mass murdery things like that Deserve to have capital punishment applied to them public They do so small taste of that. But thank you. Um, there's there's a huge amount coming out now. Um, so

Okay, what is this guy for though? No tax cuts for billionaires probably was not I'm just gonna project and guess he was not standing out with that sign when it was George Soros and Bill Gates shoving junk down our throats because he those guys those billionaires were on their side and I don't know what tax cut for billionaires in fact this is not what you're for this is what I'm against you know what I remade a sign for him so this is me putting words in for. This is what I'm against. You know what? I remade a sign for him. So this is me putting words in his mouth, but I think it should have, I think he should have said this.

Yes. I would agree with him if he did. Yep. No unpaid federal debts left to my grandchildren. I would have been like, yeah, beep beep, thumbs up. You know, probably would have come over and had a discussion with this gentleman. Yeah, no, you're right.

What's annoying about this is that it seems like people aren't making these talking points from from something that happens in their own brain from point of view that they're very passionate about. It's just some regurgitated thing they've heard. And it's red team blue team, which is pretty boring. You know, it's, it's actually more nuanced than that. And if you can't think for yourself and see that it's really not red versus blue, it's something else completely. It's good versus evil. It's reality versus some other fabrication thereof like then it makes sense. If you were to, I'd get behind that too, so I would I would yeah, that's that's a perfectly perfectly valid statement That's why I wrote it because that makes sense to me. How about this one?

Stand with you crane Stop fascism Okay again I'm gonna guess these two are old enough to have been hippies at some point. So these are now hippies for war. That's the That's that's where we're at in this story. I don't know but stand with Ukraine. Okay, so this is something again to your point It's an installed thought. I don't think they know much about it. So here's some context for this gentleman Look at those Russians down there. Oh, no, I'm sorry sorry that's the azov battalion those are Ukrainians so when you wrap yourself in the blue and yellow flag just know you're also wrapping

yourself with a significant amount of swastika and this is who they are in fact Ukraine had has the only openly Nazi battalion army battalion in the whole world the Azov battalion how can they do that nobody says anything stay I stopped fascism like what do you even what do you what is the anti-semite crap around that what do you even stand for here what is going on what is even happening I don't get it okay I can't see the comments can't either, because we keep getting this error message. So Nick, pop in here and just let me know what's going on. Because we have this huge error message just over-dominating

our experience here. Make this bigger. Maybe it won't take up quite as much space. Yeah, I would agree. They don't know. They just don't know. They they don't know they just don't know they just don't know yeah they just don't know I agree these protesters don't know Ukraine history World War two and rights step on Bandar all of that and yeah all of this that they just don't know they just don't know. They just don't know. But that just makes them ignorant, which which makes it especially difficult for me to

Not have contempt as it were because if you're gonna get out there and and Say stop fascism. You're gonna be all excited. You're gonna actually protest against something I I expect you to know what you're protesting against Yeah, you should If you're gonna get. Yeah, you should. If you're going to get out there and have an opinion, you need to be educated about it. You might as well. That sign might as well read, you know, leave fluoride in our water. Okay.

Whatever. You know, just whatever. Okay. There are people saying that lately. I know, I know there are there are in California. Is that where it is? It's just it's just terrible. So, so look at that. Look at that sign on the right over there. Only you can stop the coup. So what's a cue? That's a good question. What is a coup? So let's go there. Oh, good. A sudden violent and unlawful seizure of power from a government. Okay, there it is a sudden violent unlawful seizure What if it was just a surreptitious seizure so these people so this person is like stop the coup

I'm against the unlawful seizure of power from a government unlawful. Well, you know, it would be unlawful It would be totally unlawful if you installed a candidate Well, you know what would be unlawful? It would be totally unlawful if you installed a candidate in a position who was then totally mentally unfit for the role. And then you had secret people who nobody knew. I asked this question all throughout 2022, 23, 24, like, who's actually running the government?

Yeah, who's running the country right now? Who's running the country? Cause it wasn't Joe Biden. We knew that, we all knew that. It was the worst kept secret in the world. I know. I hope that comes out eventually when they're doing whatever investigations they're doing. I hope we get to find out who was running the country. So you remember this one, Evie? This is my favorite from Matt Orflea. I'll only play a few minutes of this, but this is just a hysterical compilation that CNBC CNBC Biden electifies Democrats. This is during his state of the union, his last one.

Oh, yeah. Spars with Republican fiery state of the union address. Biden's fiery state of the union address. I'm here tonight to show what I believe is the way forward. He was absolutely on fire. Joe Biden was on fire. You were on fire. Joe Biden was on fire. You were on fire. You brought that Irish fire tonight.

You fired us all up. Biden was on fire. At the top of his game. He was on fire. Smoking. He was on fire. Robust and clear. Join us to light as the Toya Beesley.

Emboldening others to do what they wish. Big landlords who use antitrust law, who break antitrust law, make sure everyone has a fair shot. Our GDP is up. I believe Roe v. Wade got it right. Guarantee the right to AVF. So builders can get federally financing. Federal debt is over a trillion dollars. A million dollars.

Millions of families can get, they need to go to work watching auto jobs in the future to instigate the collection. have jobs in the future to instigate the collection. Joe Biden. I cracked my, actually. We should watch that whole thing. Be crying by the end of it. I mean, come on.

Come on. So like what kind of a coup? That's a coup. That's a coup. We had a coup. It was the unlawful seizure of power and everybody is around and the guy can't even read off a teleprompter without the right. Oh, speaking of which, can I do my favorite one ever? Oh, yeah, please. This is my all time favorite Joe Biden word of the day. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. Single word.

I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping. What? I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping. Listen to the words. I was in the foothills I was in the foot him. Excuse me. The foothills of the Himalayas. America is a nation.

That's what I think the word was. That was my best, best attempt. Oh yeah. Now I understand. Okay. Listen in. Just a single word. I was in the foot him.

That was the G.G. Ping in the Himalayas? What was that about? I think he was trying to say in the foothills of the Himalayas, but it came out as as a foot. And by the way, can be defined as a single word. And he's and he's trying to say the foothills of the Himalayas, which is not a single word.

So the whole thing just gets funnier the deeper you go in. Right. And speaking of the unlawful seizure of power, remember auto pen, Biden, the auto pen. So these are all the Biden family pardon and the Fauci pardon and the doctor. I mean, sorry, general Milley pardon and all these different part pardons, but somebody took them and overlaid them. And you can see it's an auto pen. So we didn't even have somebody actually signing. That's disturbing. Anything, right?

We kind of knew that, but. So at any rate, to all those people out there suddenly, suddenly complaining, this is a coup. Like what you mean is this isn't our coup. OK. Oh, thanks, Nick. Looks like everything sorted out at peak prosperity to calm. And we're not getting any error messages. So thank you for that. Candid Zulu. Maybe he was speaking Icelandic.

That's what we sounded like when we were trying to talk, talk, say the names of things in Icelandic. Yeah. I remember there was that one volcano, you and I, we never had the same pronunciation twice. It was just like, do you want to go back to that? And we somehow figured out what each other was meaning. Yeah.

No, I remember we were just looking, we were just looking at um, there was somebody on Twitter that was like visit this place and you and I were like we've never, what is that? And they're like oh yeah that rock wall, I remember the rock wall. I think we went there. The name like drew no bells, like no like little dingley sounds, nothing happened. Oh my goodness. goodness yeah it's still doing that oh well it's okay but it's off to the side now oops I still can't see though but you can see down here okay only two comments yeah all right so let's carry on um here we go Evie so um hands off look at all this hands off stuff hands off get all boom all this hands off stuff. Hands off. Get all boomers.

Free speech, science, university funding, hands off, clean air, clean water. Hands off. So, so, um, their local Congresswoman up there for the district is Congresswoman Tenny, so they, they, they're like, here, hands off. Uh-oh. Oh, what's that? Hands off 2025.com. Evie, I think we should go there. Oh, let's take a look at what is going on. What what could hands off 2025.com? You're going to

be so surprised when you find this out. Oh, here it is. Hands off 2025. It's Oh, it's indivisible. Look, yeah, the email is response at indivisible.org. Oh, there it is. There it is. There it is. Yeah, they forgot to hide their email. So now we know it's indivisible, which is a Soros thing. And by the way, they get a lot of their- It's a commitment to nonviolent action.

Well, I love that. So I put that up there, the core principle. We're committed to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to deescalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Our, you're getting it. Yeah, this is it.

Everything has to be termed with an air quote possessive our. All roads lead back to act blue. Yes. Yes, that's where this is going. All roads do. So act blue, which by the way congresswoman Um, whatever jackson lee, whoever that that black lady, right? Jackson something I forget jackson something anyway

She got 840 000 from act blue from a single donor and the whole place is like well, what are you gonna do? Right. Remember james o'keefe found that there were like these old ladies and old men You know getting charged like 80 times a day for like $3 each time. So this is just, this is, so what happens is, um, this is pretty clear. Somebody who has a lot of money to burn, but needs it broken up and hidden. So let's say I want to give a million dollars, but I'm, I can only allowed to get 2,900. I give it to act blue and then they funnel it through all these credit cards they have on file right

So and they're trying to claim now they come up with these weak excuses like oh we haven't been using the CCV codes like If you don't do that then you can't like like they can't trace back where it came from oh Right so it's like oh did those all come in from mr.. McGillicuddy who's on Social Security earning 31,000 a year. Did he give 240,000 last year? Can they really not? Yeah, we can't chase it back. Of course they can. But we would need an FBI that actually wanted to chase that back. We'd need the Department of Justice that would say, we're going to put these people in prison. They could smash this as soon as they want. I think your sister donated to ActBlue. Probably blue probably sorry I wouldn't doubt it but at any

rate that non-violence part really I was like yeah I'm so glad they said that about the non-violence eevee let us listen in as this is this is channeling indivisibles values let's go What mashed potatoes on the side of my car here? She threw mashed potatoes in his car. Really? Yeah. Did you or didn't you? Here come the values.

Because I've got cameras up there facing you. And I've got you on camera. You're showing who threw that here. Get off the right side of the driveway. Yes, I do. Now! I'm not on your side. Get off! on camera. You're showing who threw that here. Get off of my side of the driveway. Now! I'm not on your side. This is the middle.

No it isn't. You want a bet? You are trespassing. You are trespassing. This is my side. Get off of my parking area. Listen, did you throw? Get out of here!

Fast food on the side of my Tesla? No! Why did you throw fast food on the side of my 32 mashed potatoes on my car? What is wrong with you? You're gonna go to jail! You vandalized my property! You vandalized my $130,000 car! Can you imagine living next door to this lady?

Get out of here, Mark, you're an asshole! You sit here, you drive in, you drive out, you have junk cars all over the place. What do you do? You drive in and you drive out! That's what people do! She's like, you drive in and you drive out. That is what a driveway is. From your drive way. No, seriously, it's just getting worse.

It's getting worse. It's getting worse. It is. So this is the level of PSYOP's programming. So some kind of mental damage has actually happened I think it's permanent and I think it's very destructive so I have a rule which says that you belong to a cult if you Subscribe to an organized system of thinking that works against your better interests. You give all your money away you break off relationships with your family because the

Guru told you to, or you've absorbed a set of messaging that makes you bitter and angry every single day. That's no way to go through life, right? So I can't imagine looking at that woman's reaction that she is now happier and better for having absorbed something that says, you know what I need to do to express my discontent? I'm so angry. I'm going to put mashed potatoes on my neighbor's car and then yell at him. Um, call him a bad names and call them bad names. Right.

I mean, that's a permanently destroyed relationship that doesn't make your life better. That's a cult. She belongs to a cult, right? We can't be mad at her. Even if somebody else, it's somebody else is pulling those strings. No, somebody at the top of that. That's somebody else. It's somebody else is pulling those strings. No, I can have judgments. Maybe she she ought to have developed more as a human being over the course of her life. Right. She skipped a few opportunities to sidle up to the wisdom bar. You know, sure. Maybe. I mean, we don't know.

But to me, because there's just such a mass amount of individuals that seem to have lost their minds. I think there's something else at play or has to be hold on okay would you not agree that one of the core things that a mature culture would do is teach you that by probably your teenage years the one thing you can control is your reaction yes yes so an indictment of the culture and she's a part of the culture, but she clearly has no control over her reactivity. Sure. At that age, I have a little bit of an indictment around that,

unless you had some kind of like traumatic birthing experience when you were coming out the canal or a head wound somewhere along the way and you've lost a critical Phineas gauge style, you know, you have the rod in the head, you lost some regulatory control function. If you've otherwise led a normal life and you haven't learned to control your reactivity You basically existed in a state of arrested development your whole life You haven't grown up sure So I mean she's I think

Through the processes of our Western world here. She's been enabled To to act that way to stay that way, right? To be celebrating behaving like that. Yeah. I mean, that's what's happening on the left, I think. I agree. So carrying on. All right.

Look at all these things that are against what a hot mess of issues, right? It is a hot mess of issues. Hands off our jobs, hands off the courts. Well, you know, a lot of this is just sort of retread socialists slash communist kind of stuff. We got some 60s vibe going on here. Civil rights like which civil rights are like if you ask anybody which civil rights are being impinged upon right now.

The only thing they could probably give you is, well, there was that MS-13 guy who was in the country illegally, whose wife took out a restraining order against him because he was violent, who got deported back to his own country. He was deprived of his civil rights. No, he doesn't have civil rights. Civil rights belong to the civilians of the country. That's true.

That is where that comes from. That's kind of where it comes from. Look at hands off the country. That's true. That is where that comes from. Everybody else. Sky and I were... Look at hands off the courts. Oh no, you mean the courts that are out there just randomly delivering activist judges who are not following the law? Who are just interpreting it to mean what they want it to mean? Yeah.

And all of that. So carrying on. Oh! Of course you have one of these. Handmaid's Tale. You gotta have one of these. And the Handmaid's Tale, just to characterize it, I believe is centered around the idea that women in this future dystopian state have become objects or mere property within the system. So she's saying you have to resist becoming women as mere property. That's what resist lady seems to be saying to me. What would you think?

What is being resisted by that? The handmaid's tale. What did you take from that? Resist freedom for women? I don't know. I don't understand. It doesn't really make sense to my brain. It could be that I have a cold and I can't think straight, but.

I don't know. I would say that what was coming at us, hurtling at us, you know, hundreds of miles an hour at the last election was the world actually turning into that some dystopian weird situation. I think we dodged a tank shell in this last election. I'm not saying it's going to end up great, but it could have been a lot worse. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned.

But anyway, let's take it at face value. She's saying, listen, by dressing up this way, worried, very worried that women are women and what women have all the gains women have made is about to go backwards. Women are about to become chatelle property one more time. Baby-making machines. Yeah or she's really upset that this is not gonna happen anymore. Is this what the resist lady has in mind? Meet leah think usa today's woman women of the year, which is of course of a man Nothing says are you kidding nothing says women are making progress like dudes taking over their top roles

Woman of the year really happen It did it did really happen So i'm gonna say the resist lady is the is that what she's I've been giving her one question mark on that one. Okay. Well, wait a minute. What about this? Dylan Mulvaney is this year's woman of the year. Oh, two years in a row. Two years in a row men took the top spot for women. Nice. So I'm going to go with I don't I dunno, we'll, we'll go with a couple of question marks now, maybe three,

cause this is starting to, I don't understand this, right? Okay. How about, how about, um, or, or in Australia, maybe, maybe she's fighting because she knows the United States is thought leader of the world and whatever the United States does is as going to go to other places in the world and infect those places. So let's hear what happens in Australia then. A prestigious women's award in Sydney sparked intense debate after transgender advocate and competitive chili eating champion Breonna Skinner, formerly known as Brett Skinner, was named the 2025 Sydney Local Woman of the Year. The award is part of an annual New South Wales government

initiative allowing MPs to recognize outstanding women in their electorate. So I want to say well done to third wave feminism. You win. All right. Is that what she's fighting for? She's being facetious, right? Yes. A prestigious woman's award in Sydney. Is that what they're fighting for? So now we've got a lot of question marks around handmaids resist lady here. But it gets worse, I think, you know, so. All right. Kaylee McAnany, I can't say her last name. McAnany. McAnany.

Unreal, not a single Democrat in the United States Senate voted to keep biological men out of women's sports. Not a single one. Not a single Democrat in the United States Senate voted to keep biological men out of women. Not a single one. Not a single Democrat said, you know what, let's get men out of women's sports. Not one. Not one. Yep. This makes them the party of the 18%. Right? Because that's you poll Americans and 18% say, yeah, we should support transgender athletes playing in women's sports. Yeah, that's not right. 79% are like, no, representing the people. How about that? Oh, hands off our democracy. You know, the one where 18% get to define what the other 80% should

do. That one is so nonsensical, isn't it? Yeah, it really is. Isn't that it's amazing to me. All right. So was this lady starting to really pile up the question marks at this point in time? So we're just going to have to say, I don't know what she stands for. This is that this is totally an incoherent thing. Now, admittedly, this could just be, you know, this is all performative and she felt she had this beautiful red thing with a white thing. And so it's like great time to use this. Yeah. When else am I I gonna get to wear it?

I'll get lots of attention and people will take lots of pictures doesn't matter that nobody can actually Square up what I seem to be saying with why I'm here in the first place Don't know no, but it's such a crappy message. You know, like kids are watching what's going on with our elders They're watching what they're doing and they're telling them essentially to resist looking at themselves and their lives and taking like honest to God stock of the kind of humans they've been, the kind of lives they've lived, whether it's been honorable or not because that's their job as elders. It's embarrassing to me and I'm saddened that our children have these people to look up to. I'm disappointed. I know.

What are the messages being sent? Consider the messages that got sent, say, during COVID, right? Hey, COVID doesn't have any impact on children whatsoever, but you're going to have to mask up, get shots, stay out of school, do distance learning, all of which we objectively know as your adults who are supposed to care for you, that this is going to harm you developmentally, educationally, socially. But that's a risk you're going to have to take because I feel a little nervous. Right. I'm uncomfortable with you. And so I'm going to take your rights away as a human so I can feel better.

You know, all the kids who looked at that, I would have been one of them because this is how my brain works. I would have been back there and been like man this is bullshit and I'm not forgiving them for it either I'm like one's a bullshitter always a bullshitter you know I'm the one of those people show me who you are the first time I'm like I'm okay that's who you are all done let's do that all right so but this is this is part of it I won't play this whole thing but here you go this is actually what happening. So this is California high school student Taylor Starling telling her state lawmakers in California this.

Good morning members of the committee. My name is Taylor Starling. I'm 16 years old and I attend Martin Luther King High School. I have a 4.0 GPA, serve as vice president of my junior class and lead as, and volunteer with National Women's Charity League, as, and lead as captain of my school's cross country and track and field teams. I was removed from my varsity girls team and replaced by a newly eligible male transfer student who received favorable treatment.

I worked every day during summer with my team and into the school year, six days a week, waking up at 5 a.m. to attend morning practices, and staying at school until 4.45 each day. My goal was to attain a varsity spot on my school's Division I CIF team. Not an easy feat, but one I accomplished. Since the start of the season in August, I ran in every varsity race.

In late October, the male transfer student was given my spot after not being held to the same strict team requirements as me and the rest of the girls. He did not have to attend practice while my team and I were running seven miles a day together. After having my spot taken away from me that I earned, I missed out on running with my varsity team

in one of the top cross-country invitationals of the season. As a result of this unfair treatment, my teammate, Kaitlyn and I wore shirts that said save girls sports and stated that boys and girls are different. It's common sense, XX does not equal XY. This is not hateful or unkind, this is reality. However, our athletic director made me remove my shirt

and told me it was like wearing a swastika in front of a Jewish person and said that I would face disciplinary action if I wore it again. My Title IX and free speech rights as a female matter too. Why are girls being told that we must sit down and be quiet while boys unfairly get ahead of us in life? Why do boys not have to attend practice and make the sacrifices that us girls make in

order to be scholar athletes? Just because those boys believe they are transgender. Girls matter too. Please protect us. Thank you. All right so, so she's a second-class citizen now which is exactly what I think resist lady with her handmaid's tail outfit should be objecting about. Exactly. Second, she's on the wrong side. She's on the wrong side of the story hundred percent right but this is actually very emblematic of our times To me we have these people who have very very strong opinions about stuff that is objectively

falsifiable If not harmful this young lady's life is harmed by this. Yeah, it is. It's derailed You can see it. You can feel it. You can hear it in her voice. Like she's been, you know, working really hard towards something, so proud of who she is. And, and, you know, is that's her sort of where she's going to propel herself out into the world from it's just been destroyed. And it's not even like remotely up for debate, right? So let's consider all of the women's track and field records held by women of any age, right? Women at their peak through all of history, every single track and field record, pole vaulting, 400 meter hurdles, whatever, every single one, has been beaten by a 15 year old or a younger male.

That's not just a few of them, all of them, right? Which just says, oh, duh, there's biological differences here. And physiological differences. Yeah. You know, just because I say all apes are equal doesn't mean I should get in a ring with a silverback gorilla, right? That would be stupid, right? Objectively, bizarrely stupid. But this is who these people are. And here's my concern And this is what I do at peak prosperity these same people are also in our court systems and they're in the Federal Reserve and they are in Congress and the extent to which they are pulling these random emotional

Unconnected from reality levers is the extent to which we're all at risk and the chance of this whole thing Not imploding into a hot mess at some point is zero. So you should be ready, you should be resilient, you should be prepared for that, is my hour point of view. So here's some more progress for women. Yay. Two men will vie for the women's title in the USA fencing April North American Cup tomorrow. This is... Remember we did this last week that the Stephanie Turner she kneels to compete against a man? Turns out two men are gonna compete for the women's title. Oh my god. Two men are gonna compete for the women's title. So now I'm just like, I

don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Red smocked lady. I don't know what you stand for. I just I'm very confused. Maybe not as confused as you are, but I'm confused. It's it's it's just crazy. But let's look back some more. We got some more of that nonviolence to discuss. Yeah, so this one cut off. I don't know why this would cut. No, it didn't have sound. It cut off to this one out a little longer. The guy in the white car is so mad at this Tesla truck, which is doing nothing.

You watch the Tesla's truck. It stays right in its lane the whole time. Yeah, that guy in the white car pulls a gun. He does not. Does so. he pulls a gun on him uh-huh and just in and then what happens brandishes it brandishes it and then the Tesla truck either swerves or pulls up forward and he's worth anyway he goes back nothing happens no shots were fired but we're getting there shots will be fired at some point in time that's That's where we're going.

And you think the people that are in charge are going to cheer that on is the way it should be because? Oh, they're going to be so mad at those violent Trumpians after poke, poke, poke, poke. Remember, we all had that little brother, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, until you react and then they cry to mama. Yeah.

Well, you react and do something to them because they've annoyed you or done something to you. But then you're the one that gets in trouble. Yeah, we all did have those. I know our brothers. All right. So let's turn now to a section I call tracking the decline in the time we have left here. And and this is fascinating to me because we have a Chinese

guy spitting some truth bombs that I think everybody needs to hear. Oh this is so good. They rob you blind and you thank them for it. That's a tragedy. That's a scam. That's why I'm saying this right now. So we have here just to set this up we have a Chinese person living in a communist country telling us stuff we need to hear, right? So, I don't know, let's keep going. Americans, you don't need a tariff. You need a revolution. Yes.

For decades, your government and oligarchs wanted to ship your job to China, not for diplomacy, not for peace, but to explore cheap laborers. And in the process, they hollowed out your middle class, crashed your working class, and told you to be proud while they sold your future for profit. And yes, China made money, but we used it to build roads, lift millions of property, found health care, raised living standards. We reinvested in our people. My family also

benefited from it. What did your oligarchs do? They bought yachts, private jets, mansions with golf course driveways. They manipulate market, dodge tax, and pour billions into endless wars. And you? You get stagnant wages, crippling healthcare costs, cheap dopamine, debt, and flagged wave property made in China. Well, they pick your pocket. For 40 years, both China and the United States benefit from the trade, the manufacturing, but only one of us use that wealth to build. This isn't China's fault.

This is yours. You let this happen. You let the oligarchs feed you lice. Well, they made you fat, poor and addicted. Now they blame China for mess they made. I don't think so. I don't think you need another tariff. You need to wake up. You need to take your country back.

I think you need a revolution. Wow. No lies detected. That was so good. That's sobering. Sometimes it's the tough love you need to hear sometimes. It is. You know?

It is. That's exactly what it is. Mm-hmm. I mean, I- These are self goals. These are self-inflicted wounds They are right sadly they are But what's hard about being in a community? You know all of us here in the United States is that

You know, I'm sure our ancestors and we in our lives have not lived according to the ways we should have at all times But for those of us that can see this coming, it's extremely frustrating to watch the decisions that have been made on our behalf, you know, for these many decades where those in power and, you know, presidents and people, you know, career bureaucrats were just making ridiculous decisions and destroying our country. And there wasn't, it didn't feel like there was a whole lot we could do about it. were just making ridiculous decisions and destroying our country and there wasn't it didn't feel like there was a whole lot we could do about it.

Nope. Now at least there's some movement. Is it all gonna be perfect? No. No. But at least now we can talk about some things and I think that that was all the anger at Elon is he was just he was spitting truth bombs just like Chinese guy. There's gonna be people who are gonna be so angry at Chinese guy not because he's wrong but because he's right. Mm-hmm and that's how they deal with their feelings. Yeah, they project them on other people's and they get angry, right? So speaking of which I'm very quickly These were the markets on Monday April 14th. You see that by the way, you're looking at Baja stock indexes These are futures. So all the futures are open all the time

So that even though the Dow Jones was open at this point in time in the Nikkei 225 in Japan was asleep it was closed you can see that the top two charts here on the left DJIA the Dow Jones and Nikkei 225 both have exactly the same behavior exactly the same moment in time and so does the NASDAQ so does the German DAX S&P 500 on the right column, Euro stocks 50, Russell 2000, and then all of the universe all those which is the volatility index of X. Why am I putting this up there? I'm putting it up here for two reasons. I'm here to show you that the global markets now trade, and this is something I'm going over and over again with my

subscribers, global markets now trade is a unibeast. It's one thing. It is like we have one giant Titanic with no bulkheads inside. It's one thing. So if one of these markets gets in deep trouble, they all get in trouble, or we're going to have to impose severe capital controls, and that could have enormous impacts on the overall market structure, but you'll notice here they were all going down and then right there, like right around 1220, they just all you turned and went the other way. Chinese guys said, Oh, your markets are manipulated. How are they manipulated? And then right there, like right around 1220, they just all U-turned and went the other way.

Chinese guy said, oh, your markets are manipulated. How are they manipulated? I will show you that the S&P 500 on that day turned negative at 1212. And 10 minutes later, Trump came out and said, oh, the EU has come to the table. Zing! Off they went the other direction. This is full stop. This is just Trump's watching the markets

He didn't like that. They went negative and he came out with some market friendly statement And it got and by the way this all faded later in the day. So this is just very it's just It's so we need somebody focused on the future not what the stock market is doing this afternoon, but yeah That's the situation we're in at this point in time. All right. That would be nice. Now we're coming to our last section here, angry Brits, because why just pick on Americans? Something's wrong, Evie, with what's going on in the UK. You think so? I do. I do too. There's something really, really wrong. And by the way, we could do no worse than to see this which is they oh sorry it's gonna be way too loud let me turn that volume down before

I go there cuz that that's that's too loud everyone says 18% to themselves. We got good safety gear though. You know, they got the nice face mask. It's all performative. They're just destroying someone else's property. They're just destroying the car. It doesn't belong to them. Maybe, I don't know where they got the car from. I assume they got this from somewhere.

They buy it and then destroy it? Yeah. This is the UK. Like why is the UK this mad at Elon? Hey UK, Elon didn't do anything to you. He's done nothing to you except maybe to spit truth bombs which makes you mad I guess. What is this? Pay your taxes there's a UK person angry at Ewan because they think he needs to pay his

US taxes what make it make sense what is even happening here this is the mental illness we're talking about though like it's spread like they've weaponized this ability to dial people's emotional rheostats into insane territory and then you get this right wow this is crazy this is full-on full stop take it for what it's worth you can look at this it's it's amazing and I do believe that this is correct where I was doing that there's totalitarianism is taking over the West agenda 2030 moves forward unabated so totalitarianism doesn't have to make sense. It just needs people emotionally fragile and completely, you know, wrapped around their axle. They're just so mad. So mad.

And by the way, if you haven't seen it, go take a look at something I did a while ago. I'll I'll have to resurrect it called rats in the cage. These people are actively being manipulated to be angry and violent towards each other, towards inanimate objects, towards whatever. But yeah. I even see it here in our chat, you know, I mean, people don't have to agree with us. That's not a prerequisite for watching our show. But, you know, I think people just say

things because they've been taught that that's the thing to do. Right. And UK police, this one was really wild. Apparently during some conversations between yourselves, you have alleged, we weren't here, so I don't know you've said it, but you've alleged to say, speak English? Or was that first? Speak clearly. Speak clearly. No, the gentleman's passed on the desk English? What was that? Speak clearly.

The gentleman's passed from the death. Yeah, he said speak clearly. So I couldn't even hear him. No, that's fine. And that's why we've just come to speak. Because potentially someone could perceive that as a hate crime. This guy's in his own country, and he has a hearing problem, and so he's saying to somebody, speak English.

And the police get called. Yeah. So the police get called and informing him this is a hate crime, right? So the UK police basically are saying, screw your white disability. We don't care. And to be clear, the UK police are now totalitarian

foot soldiers for the replacement theory Which is like if you're like I see videos Evie Every day of people with machetes running around like fighting each other in the street The police are nowhere to be seen but when an elderly white guy says speak English Now now they get called right they're too afraid to police the other people running well They are but it's also not who they've been though. It's not who they've been told to police So let's be clear the police in the UK are the lowest level of management in a structure that has decided that the UK needs To be torn apart and destroyed and so they're just enforcing that this cop is enforcing the destruction of his own nation doesn't know it But I don't understand that I don't understand why anyone would choose to do that me neither me neither um can I can I do a

shameless plug real quick can you help what do you got um so at peak prosperity we have a lot of premium content so once or twice a week I do something called a fat pipe which is well it's all the news that didn't fit it's just a big long list of all the things that sort of like this show, but but many more categories. And people really like it as one of our one of our best features. And then Evie, we got this. Oh, yeah, this from Clemens are he says, Hey, Chris, and the rest of the peak team, I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much of an impact your work had and continues to have on my life. I found your channel randomly during

COVID and never stopped watching your videos. It is fair to say that you changed my life and I'm so grateful for the work you do. I'm a German who now lives in Norway since five years. You're forgetting out of Germany. Right. I have gold and silver, physical, in my hot little hands. And I'm heavily invested in oil and gas stocks. And it just feels awesome. But the money aspect aside,

the framing that you provide is just without comparison. Because of you, I understand what is going on around me and why things happen the way that they do. I feel like I am five times more informed than all of the others out there. I am 100% aware of what is happening around me and what actually is important in life. My health is my top priority. I train three times a week. I eat healthy. I've never felt better, both financially and physically. You're framing around energy, inflation, psychology is just awesome. Oh my god, your first interview with Matias Desmet,

it literally blew my mind. I could go on like this for ten pages. I just had to send this to you. I hope you read it and thank you so much for everything you do. I wish you and your family the very best of luck, health, and joy moving forward. Clemens. So I want to include that because this is actually really important about what I do, which is I provide framing for things. So yeah, a lot of context.

And I do think that people without financial freedom were forced into getting the jab. And by the way, if you didn't like how bad COVID was, you're really gonna hate the impact on mental health, physical health, and life itself when we get into a rip roaring economic disaster, which we're going to, not just because Trump is a bull in a china shop,

but because since 1971, we've been running this crazy experiment that we just, it's a fantasy, it's a delusion, every bit as much as standing out in a red handmaid's cloak saying I stand for women it's just this delusional thing that we held as a culture that it's possible to forever grow our debts more than our economy can't do it doesn't make sense and if you don't understand that context if you don't have that framing you you won't know what to do next so that's what I do day in day out is provide that provide that framing and I'm the reason we're going to this twice a week model for

Signal our besides the fact Evie and I really love doing them Is and there's demand for them is that I am now putting a lot of my attention back on redoing the crash course and Also creating this resilience roadmap because the number one thing I want for my subscribers is to be resilient. We're all gonna have to be resilient in this in the face of the future and for me that isn't bullets beans and bunkers some people interpret it that way I believe in spiritual resilience I believe in emotional resilience I believe the depth of your relationship with your community is very

very important. Evie and I are both running for local office this year and this is something we're all going to have to burrow in and make the best out of what's probably a situation not of our own making because it really got kicked off in 1971 and Wall Street was out of control and our university systems were asleep at the switch and the whole thing. Anyway here we are so let's make the best of it. Lots of things are coming home to roost. The cows are coming home to roost as they don't say right. So anyway that part two of this for today when we when we click over for our subscribers we're going to be talking about that economic crisis for everybody else peak financial

investing I have a channel as well with Paul Kiker every week we put out a piece of content around finances and investing and what's going on in the world. And you might want to tune into that. You can find that of course at peak prosperity. You can find it at peak financial investing. There's the link or you can find it on YouTube on the YouTubes. Is it under our regular channel? It's linked over, but it's a separate channel. Okay. It's a separate channel. So we're growing that. So with that, Evie, that's our the end of this program out here. We're going to now switch over so for all our subscribers who are watching this Peak Prosperity, stay on the line because we've got a lot

more to go and we got to talk through all the rest of what's going on out in the world. Everybody else will see you back here on Friday at one o'clock. And oh, one last thing, very important. Back at peak prosperity, we always have a public, there's a public portion of the Signal Hour. It's a blog post. And it has a place where you can comment. If you have questions that you want us to look at, we always put that up earlier on the day on Monday.

And you can then leave a comment and say hey could you please talk about X Y or Z we'll see it there maybe we'll get to it maybe we won't but at least then that's a way to get to it otherwise we watch the comments that happen here during this livecast and we're just want to be responsive but what do we do hopefully provide context framing understanding of what's going on in the world around you so you can make sense of it So that you can be happy healthy wealthy and wise Program and just to bring that background. It's also about relationships

It's about meeting other people that you can depend on that You can grow beside and who you can do this work with. And it's so refreshing to have nice conversations about what's really happening in the world, not get shouted down and be able to think critically along with other humans. I think that's one of the biggest reasons to become a subscriber. You just feel less alone and you realize that

there are other people like you and me. So. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Thanks for spending this afternoon with us. And you realize that there are other people like you and me so Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Thanks for spending this afternoon with us and as we like to say Adios amigos for all you public listeners out there. It's been great being here with you my favorite Gary Larson one of them All right, and now for everybody else we are gonna carry on and we are gonna be talking about this uh Well to carry on and we are going to be talking about this. Uh, well, this is how it is. I know. I don't really want this to be happening. I'm not ready.
