to challenge Trump. People can read this again with my coverage of the Trump rally that I went to a couple weeks back and how in the line that people were waiting outside for six months to get into this Trump rally. There was a text Nikki to whatever the fuck political number of billboard that was driving up and down the street the entire time being met with booze every single step of the way. You know, there was absolutely no support with this woman. She wasn't going to get anywhere.

Now, I will say this. I will congratulate her. She did win one state on Super Tuesday. Vermont, unfortunately, it would have been so poetic if she had just one Washington, D.C., but, you know, somehow she managed to scrounge one state out of the mix. But yeah, Nimrodda's campaign is no longer, you know, she suspended it. Nimrodda is no more. And now we can actually focus on, you know, the Donald at this time, so to speak. So any initial reactions, gentlemen, to Nimrata, what is her political future looking like?

How did the Super Tuesday shake out? Was it really a surprise to anyone? What do you guys think? Well, I want to hear what Tom has to say, considering on the Duran, he said that Nimrata was going to stay in the race until the very last minute. Yeah, I'm actually surprised that she dropped out. But again, with the 9-0, I think we have to go back to the Supreme Court decision that said the states can't throw Trump off the ballot, either the primaries of the general

election. So I think 90% of that argument that I was making, when I was on the Duran, I've been making this argument for weeks. I'm like, it's the only thing. thing that, you know, made any sense to me was that Nikki was just run, was sorry, Nimrata. But, you know, when she's working and when she's moonlining at the

Waffle House, she does have Nikki on her. I know this for a fact because I've been to South Carolina. And bitch, my coffee's cold and, you know, come on. So, I've been running with that meme for, I don't know, fucking seven years now. But once we saw that happen

on Monday, you know, that came down on Monday. It was, I don't consider there any coincidences in politics, right? That was put on the Supreme Court's docket on Monday before Super Tuesday to let everybody know, no, really, she's not in the race. Actually, what was more interesting on Super Tuesday was not, you know, Trump basically sweeping. I don't consider losing Vermont, which is basically a bunch of Democrats anyway, even the Republicans there, you know, going for Nikki Haley. It was that Victoria Newland resigned as a citizen.

and Secretary of State. That was also timed with Super Tuesday. And I find that to be the much more interesting event of the day, to be honest with you. Yeah, it does seem like there are weeks where years happen, right? And this week was certainly one of them, you know, with the combination of, I mean, we've been talking about on this show for months in this point, the three main obstacles for, you know, the three main questions, I should say, about the election season this year. The first one was, well, is Trump even going to be allowed on the ballot? The second one was, is he going to be in jail? And the third one is going to be how much fortification is going to occur in the fall here.

And it seems like we have a concrete answer, finally, on the first one of those questions. I mean, Trump is here. He's the nominee. He's going to be on the ballot. That's set in stone at this point. I guess there are still questions looming over questions two and three there. We'll have to see. But at least one of them is sealed shut.

I think the interesting thing is going to be at the convention. Who's even going to show up to give speeches? I mean, if you remember in the 2020 race, in the 2020 Republican National Convention, it was like, hey, there's the My Pillow guy. And then, hey, there's the guy who he and his wife came out with guns in Missouri to say, get off my lawn and everything like that. I mean, who's next? Who's going to show up for this one?

That's probably the most interesting thing on my mind right now. I was also surprised that Nimmurata Haley dropped out because, well, I was also considering that they probably were just keeping her in the race because they were expecting Trump would be knocked off the ballot some other way. And they needed some legitimate candidate who had gone all the way through the process to stick in there. But now it's just a, there's no one running against him. And I figured they wouldn't want the look of Trump running completely unopposed in the GOP. But apparently they've changed their mind. And yeah, I was also looking at the Victoria Newland thing because I pay a lot of attention to the Ukraine situation as you do. And I checked the New York Times article actually on what had happened.

And I found that pretty interesting because I was trying to see like, what is the regime narrative on this? And the New York Times article kind of just made a few. general statements about, you know, her great work in supporting Ukraine and a little, a few things about her career and took a very neutral stance. So I'm not exactly sure, you know, what the deal is. Yet it kind of seems to me that the media outlets haven't really been given the scoop on, on what to feel about, like how are we supposed to feel about Victoria Newland residing? They haven't really told us very clearly, which I find pretty interesting. Well, there's two things. One, I think Haley made it abundantly clear.

today that she's threatening Trump with you need to make me VP and of course we're not going for Haley we're not going for you know Mike Pence 2.0 with boobs right um I guess those are even um like what does she even have to back up that claim um what's that what does she even have what ammunition does she have backed even make up that claim you know well no she doesn't it doesn't that's a point what she has is the backing of the GOP establishment that that's what they want and you know the freaking British and the neocons who have backed her but newland walking having being forced out of the state department you know uh having to fall on her sword because well ukraine was her project um again tells you so many things about what i think is what looks like winning like look you know the neocons

got this in war and now they're having to you know actually pay the price for the first time politically in their in their history you know it was funny I was listening to, actually, as Duran's afternoon and Tony Schaffer was on, and I got a little tired of him after about 35 minutes. He was interesting. He was fun, but, you know, after a while, I'm like, okay, okay, I got it. And, you know, he made the point that the neocons was a very important point, which is that, one, their Trotskyites, and two, they don't have any political affiliation. When they get kicked out of the GOP, they go to the DNC, and then back and forth and back and forth. And they have agents in both parties.

I've always looked at Hillary Clinton as the neo-con, the high priest and neoconservatism and the DNC, right? So even if she doesn't believe it, she's at least the one who advocates for. She's the one who groomed Newland at the State Department when she was Secretary of State, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, you know, Haley doesn't have, to answer your question, doesn't have a like to stand on. I don't think to be to demand anything at this point. But, you know, desperate people do, you know, demand desperate things. And that's nice.

But, you know, who's going to give speeches, Pete? Okay. if it's all the people who want to be vice president now all the ones that aren't chosen are they're going to be the ones that give the speeches so if trump chooses tim scott then it'll be vevec and kelsey gabbard and all the other ones and if it's gabbard which is who's my pick then it'll be all the other ones i think that's and we're going to see a lot of changing of the guard and then trump could should and should pick people that he wants to be Senate majority later. Mike Johnson should speak, right? Speaker of the House. Like we should have a 2024 GOP convention that tells everybody, no, really, there is a changing of the guard.

And these are the people that are now going to lead the party. And you have pushed off for a long time, the younger generations taking power within either the DNC, because Obama was never given power over the Democratic Party. And the GOP, no, it's not longer the party of the old people. It's no longer the party of the geriatrics. It's no longer the parties of the Cold War, we're moving forward. And I think that would be great symbolism on his part. I think that would be the smart.

Look, if I were producing the show, that's what I would be arguing for. I'd be banging my shoe, shoe on the table. I'd cruceft about this. Like, no, no, no. Yeah, I mean, it definitely poses an interesting question here as to who is going to be the inevitable of, vice president pick for Donald Trump here. I mean, Tom, I know you've been talking quite a bit recently about the

PayPal Mafia as people are calling them right now. And we know that I've been talking about it. I don't think Tom is, I was getting him up to speed on it last week. I think he's the some of these names are very interesting to him. They are interesting. You guys take it away. Tell us what you're going to say is, you know, I mean, what Pete was laying out for me, you know, the other night over dinner was, it was interesting.

But as, as, you know, he and I pointed out to each other, it's like, we come at this from two different angles. And those angles are, I'm looking at it from the top down by the Federal Reserve and the Money Center banks. And I think you guys are, when I understand, then correct me if I'm wrong and I'm happy to be, you know, disabused of any notions that I know anything. That it's, you know, centers around guys like Elon Musk and Peter Diel and others and that there's something sincere happening on, you know,

know there's a push happening that I don't quite see or or am looking for or whatever. I'm not saying that, you know, I don't believe it. I'm just saying I haven't been looking at it from that point of view. So I'm happy to, you know, sit and shoot the shit about, you know, what where the intersection is between, you know, what we're both seeing from different perspectives. You know, as much as like we haven't taken like, you know, like an official stance on the show or anything like that. But I think I could speak for many of the club members and myself included that we definitely take a more of interest in a counter elite style as to what's going on in America politics today. I think many of us would point to that there probably is some kind of germination, like the germination of a seed of the formation of a counter elite in this country who see the current issues and the current track that we're on as a country is not going to last. and that might include people like Elon Musk.

It might include people like Tucker Carlson. It might include people like Peter Thiel or many others. We don't exactly know. But, you know, I think we could all see that this current system and this current ruling class clearly does not have the interests of not just Americans, but the entire West at heart. And they need to be removed and replaced. Well, what I will say is that it is very possible for different sets of counter elites that really don't communicate with each other to look at the world,

look at the United States government, and decide something needs to be done. If Vivek is running around talking about how basically the system has to be destroyed, and whoever gets elected president is the only person running the country. It's like whoever gets elected runs the country. And then you have Jerome Powell who's like, well, you know, we need to destroy the euro. We basically

that the the overseas bank, you know, LIBOR, all of these things were weakening the United States. And, you know, he takes a shot.

He takes his shot. Does an incredible job of, um, weakening Europe to the point now where they're, they're struggling. I think Tom would admit that they're, uh, they're,

they're in a panic. And it's a very bit. Yeah. But, I was going to say, Pete, even this afternoon, we had the ECB, you know, policy meeting this morning. Nothing changed, no, that anybody was surprised. But Lagarde or somebody came out later in the afternoon. I saw a tweet on, I saw a tweet that the ECB won't wait until inflation gets to 2% in order to start cutting.

That's a big signal, folks. That's a very big signal. And in central banker policy speak, that's them saying, we're going to need. need to cut. And I've been saying for a while now that the race is on between, you know, who cuts first, whoever cuts first, the Fed or the ECB, whoever cuts first loses. They lose all their credibility with the markets when we're sitting at full employment here in the United States and, you know, three and a half percent inflation. What the hell is the Fed doing cutting rates? Right. So, you know, absent a credit crisis, absent, you know, some major spasm in the

markets that sends the Treasury market bid list like we had during quote unquote, COVID-19 in March of 2020, you know, I don't see the Fed doing that. And that's, you know, I mean, that's the way I watch this stuff. And the, I agree P completely that you could easily have groups of different groups operating in a sense, kind of independently or semi-autonomously and working the problem from different perspectives. Let's talk about what's been going on the last couple days. We've got New York Community Bank, right? New York Community Bank. because a bank run was started by somebody, a whisper campaign started.

You know, bank runs in modern America do not, in the modern financial system, don't start because there's something wrong with the bank. They start because one group of oligarchs wants to take the bank out and starts a whisper campaign against a different group of oligarchs. What we saw last year with signature in Silicon Valley, and it's what we started to see with New York Community Bank.

Now, I was trying to read an article by, Chris Whalen this afternoon on Zeroheads to try and understand what Heath thought was going on and who could buy the bank and why is this happening, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And, you know, Whalen's getting lost in the weeds of all the bank balance sheet stuff. And I'm thinking to myself, what the hell is Steve Mnuchin going in putting together a group to basically buy up New York Community Bank and get and remake the board for a billion dollars? Like something is going on here.

There's something that somebody wants. on that balance sheet. They want information. The same way that I believe that Elon Musk bought Twitter to get the database of the DMs of all these so-called journalists and CIA assets and all the rest of them who are while running around, you know, clearly using Twitter DMs to coordinate their, coordinate themselves, coordinate their activity. You know, the same thing was probably going on. And there's probably a lot of forensic accounting that can happen. that can only be done if they get a hold of the books of these particular banks. And you do that and how you do that?

Well, you started with your campaign to crush the value of the stock by 50, 60, 70 percent. Then you come in in a hostile ego remote, take the fucking thing over. And you get the Fed's blessing who the Fed stands back and goes, oh, this is all fine with me. You know, hey, and notice how the Fed hasn't been like, you know, coming to any of these banks rescue. And so this is a New York bank. And this is one of those New York banks that has deep ties to rent control properties in New York City that now starts blowing back in Kathy Houchel. And this is where Whalen was going, where someone's got to do something about this. So I could get lost in the weeds on this for 20 minutes.

So, you know, tell me to shut the fuck up and eventually I will. So, you know, it is interesting though. What you bring up here, Tom, is that we see the system fracturing on so many different fronts here, whether it's a foreign policy with Victoria Newland and her neocon ilk, we have things fracturing at home as it relates to the economy, inflation. I mean, we spent more money to fight a cold than we did to fight the entire Second World War. I mean, things are breaking apart all over the place. And I think this is why, you know, a take from somebody like, you know, Alex Jones,

for example, it's like, oh, the globalist, the globalist. It's like, well, it's a little reductive, isn't it? I mean, there's multiple groups of elites across many different. fronts, so to speak, in this whole geopolitics game here. And no doubt some of their interests will align on some topics. Some of them will differ on others. But what we see here is that people are looking for alternatives. And depending on what you say about that, maybe you're happy that there are at least some

rich and powerful people who are looking for alternatives to the system or at the same time you're thinking, uh-oh, people are looking for alternatives to the system. What does that mean? Well, I mean, again, when I started down this path of asking the, the heretical question, could the Fed actually be doing the right thing? And it was just a simple question I asked because I'm that kind of person. You know, you know, 25 or 30, well, nearly 30 years as a frigging research chemist will ask, will lead you to ask uncomfortable questions. And even if there are ones that, you know, that, you know, challenge your own, you know,

deeply held belief about the nature of central banking or central planning or anything else, but it doesn't matter. Like, you have to ask questions. And your point's well taken about, and I've always felt this way, that there are multiple factions of leads. There's a big Venn diagram of all their incentives. And, you know, leading up to Ukraine, everybody wanted to kill Russia. For COVID, everybody wanted to get the Fed back to the zero bound and spend a whole bunch of money in order to remake the world and make it safe for climate change.

But the whole purpose of all of those things was to move us into the digitization of our lives, right, which the EU is still going forward with. There's still, the project managers at the EU are still running that Gant chart. They still get their project, Microsoft project, Gant chart up open in front of them. And on this date, we're supposed to introduce this legislation to move this thing, fall down the, you know, and it's, and you clearly see that. What's happening in the United States is that an awful lot of people are standing up

and going, powerful people are standing on the, looking at the project managers, go, by the way, close Microsoft project. We're not doing that anymore. Now, they can all be doing independently, and they can all be doing it for their own reasons. They don't have to be white hats here. I never made the argument that Powell or Jamie Diamond or John Solomon over at Goldman or any of these people are doing any of these things for us. To be honest with you, they're doing it to save themselves because the plan is to get rid of commercial banking. And well, that doesn't jive with private equity Powell, doesn't jive with Jamie Diamond, doesn't jive with most of

the guys on Wall Street. They want commercial banking. They want to control commercial banking. They want to control the way capital flows through the society. Sure, they want to get their Vig on the entire thing. These guys are Mafia Dons. It's like anybody else. But when one group of mafia dons goes up against another group of Mafia Dons, like, you know, someone's going to lose. And it's my argument at this point that, you know, you've got the American Mafia Dons, you've got the British Mafia Dons, you've got European Mafia Dons, and you've got, you know, the ones now emerging in the Middle East. And, you know, the ones now emerging in the Middle East. in other places. And you've got the Russian ones as well because it's like the

Col Putin anything other than the gangsters, you know, does be terminally naive, right? So you've got all these people finding amongst themselves and they're all going to use each other against each other. Right. And then, you know, when you look at a bank like, you look at some of the banks, like you've got a bank like Citigroup, which whose balance sheet is so freaking horribly impaired with Powell of five and a half percent, you know, who are they going to, Who are they going to sidle up to to try and save themselves? And then, you know, what about Wells Fargo?

What about this one? What about that one? You start asking basic questions about these things. And as you usually figure it out in the balance sheets of these banks. Or, and you can also see it in the way they operate and the way they act during crisis moments. And when they don't do anything or when they or when their analysts aren't going out there and being, you know, given airtime on bubble vision or Fox business news or, you know, Bloomberg or whatever. Indeed. And you know that they, you know that they don't have any power anymore.

And then when Diamond speaks, the whole freaking world listens and he's secretary, he might as well be secretary of fucking state. Yeah, you know. He's been secretary of state for about two years now. And at the same time here, another big financial news, uh, hit this week as well is at the same time all this is going on, uh, Bitcoin just hit an all time high. And I'm not like one of these, you know, crypto pros like, oh, like Bitcoin's going to save the world and save all finances.

or any of that nonsense and such like that. But, you know, I mean, I've got some of it. It's interesting to keep the eyes on everything. But, you know, it's interesting. There's multiple things going on at the same time here. What I would say about Bitcoin is following. I mean, there's many things. We can have to redo an entire Bitcoin podcast about what all this means.

What I think is really interesting is that all of this is happening. The someone put the manila folder on Gary Gensler's death to say, no, that's enough. you will approve Bitcoin ETS because the commercial banks in the United States want Bitcoin. The Fed has never been officially in any real sincere capacity been against Bitcoin. They've always treated it as a commodity. That's the way they've always thought about it. The ECB, on the other hand, fucking hates Bitcoin with a purple passion. You listen to Glegaard spit fire about Bitcoin, like literal fire.

And so the only time that woman's like inherent Frenchness comes out, she starts spitting fire, she's talking about Bitcoin. You know, the leatherneck starts to actually turn red. Like, it's amazing. This is why she wears all those scarves, by the way. That's the Hydra Adams apple, but that's a different story. That's a different question. So, like, Bitcoin is fascinating because it's obvious at this point that it's another

bearer asset that can act as collateral for the banking system, the same way gold exists. So clearly, gold is flowing east over to China. Vince Launshi and I have had done multiple podcasts about this. And China has said no to Bitcoin because China wants, like the EU, they want the social credit system in order to be able to keep control of everything domestically. They don't want Bitcoin as part of their banking system. They're happy to use gold and oil and all the other stuff. Whereas it's clear that the Americans have decided we are going to have certainty surrounding

crypto. We're going to use it and we're going to allow the full expression of investor demand for it. okay and that's what the ETFs represent and that's in my mind that's a very good thing it's actually the american banking system and the american you know money elites are looking at the situation going we're we're trying to accumulate and and attract bearer level collateral to our banking system which can be used to undergird any financial problems we may or may not have. Okay. This is what I've been seeing from the Federal Reserve and the way Powell has run this this rate hike cycle. There's a lot of other things that have happened behind the scenes or that most

people that aren't like Fed geeks like me who go, you know, I don't know what that means. Obviously, and that's fine. Most people shouldn't actually know what it means. I'm actually feel dirty that I know what most of the shit means. But what I've come to what I've come to in the TLDR on all this, it really comes down to, the Fed has done everything imaginable to shore up and improve domestic demand for U.S. Treasury bonds that we know the rest of the world at some point is going to dump on us. And there has to be a way to manage that without rates rising at an uncontrollable rate, you know, so that we don't wind up with 10 years trading at 10%. We don't, we're okay with them trading at five, five and a half, six percent. It's Europe

that can't handle them at six percent because that implies German yields at five percent. Or possibly even going the other direction, having to be at 7%. And at that point, forget it. The German banking system collapses at a German tenure of three and a half, maybe 4%. And I only say that, not because I have like forensic evidence for this, but because that's the way the ECB has been managing everything for almost two years now, because they keep the German 10-year bond from getting above 2.5%.

For example, that's one of the signals that I've noted over the course of the last couple of years. And this is why when I talk about this stuff from that perspective, I can see. see it in the market. I can see the footprints of these people like putting their, their, their thumb on the scale in order to move markets in a particular direction. So, and then they always seem to do, and they, so for example, they always seem to to engineer a bond rally, like right before the FOMC meeting, why to try and push the Fed to issue a dubbish statement, and they give the market hope that they're going to cut interest rates earlier than the Fed is actually

going to. And then Powell comes out and goes, by the way, Humphrey Hawkins testimony on Tuesday. again super tuesday howell comes out at humphrey hawkins testimony and says we're nowhere near talking about cutting rates i don't know what everybody's getting you know basically i don't know what everybody's going to getting getting all up in arms about you look at the situation and uh that just drove elizabeth warren batty and it was great like anything to make her they make that bitch squirm yeah exactly she's awful one of the words yeah but i'm uh i'm gonna bring in i'm uh charlie and pete in here as well guys so um on this discussion of the um uh paypal mafia and such, Pete, you've been doing shows about these recently with Kingpild and others.

Why don't you run through some of your basic takes on this topic for the audience here? Maybe they haven't watched your shows, which they should be. Oh, you guys should be watching Pete's stuff. Well, it seems to me that Vivek has some kind of... You're muted, Pete. Am I? No, he's good on my end. I can hear him.

It seems to me that Vivek has some kind of, um, he's in with my speaker off. I'm sorry. With Trump. And I don't know how he's gotten in with Trump. He's basically Trump's opening act. And this seems very different. I guess the theory was right from the beginning that because Trump is in so much legal trouble, because so much money was being taken from him because there's a taken from his family, taken from everyone, that somebody would step. up to him and say, look, we'll take care of you. You just, we have, you give, get elected, you give the speeches, you shake the hands, you go out there on the balconies, and we'll work behind the scenes. And I think it's really hard to ignore the fact that basically Vivek is a, he was a Trump surrogate throughout the, throughout the debates, but now he's like right there with him. Do I think that Vavek will be vice president?

I don't know. There might be a better chance that he'd be Treasury Secretary. That's something that I've heard. But the whole idea is that if you're going to make a move, if an elite group is going to make a move, They have to look for, it's best to look for somebody who is very popular. Think of Winston Churchill running up to World War II, completely in debt, and needed to be bailed out and basically became the slaves of the focus group.

And if the focus group wanted World War II, they got World War II. It seems to me this can be a very similar situation where, Trump is so desperate that somebody came in and said, look, we'll guarantee your legacy, we'll guarantee your money, will guarantee your place, your family, be always taken care of, no matter what they do to you. Just get elected and let us take over. Best case scenario. That's the best case scenario that we can find. And hopefully, you know, these guys don't have my interests at heart, I think. I think they're self-interested, but, you know, it's like we've been saying, a regime that is

indifferent to us is far preferable to a regime that hates us. Certainly. Charleney, do you have any thoughts on this matter? Well, you mentioned earlier the idea of a non-ruling elite competing with the ruling elite power. It seems like

the way this competition is playing out is fighting over who is going to manage the Trump presidency that's clearly coming. And of course, last time the neocons very quickly got their tendrils into that administration and basically completely controlled the foreign policy now the neocons have lost a lot of credibility particularly with the ukraine and stuff and on top of that there are people like elon musk who are extremely powerful

who are against the neocons so it's not just a matter of perception it's that people with power are opposed to them now and yeah of course we have teal as well so it seems like there's multiple factions here. There's sort of the I guess patchwork like the mold buggy and patchwork style of reactionaries in the

Teal faction that Vivek is a part of and then we have Musk who seems to be kind of outside of that loop like these are not the same faction as far as I can tell Musk seems to not be interested in sort of directly manipulating politics. Now obviously they complement each other

because Musk has sort of opened up the Twitter platform for use by the right. But I wouldn't include him in their faction, just in terms of how I can see it. Now, Vivek, Ramoswamy, as we said, he's obviously there sort of as a representative of this faction that's mainly competing with the neocons. Does that mean that Ramoswami actually has to be vice president? I'm not sure about that. And, yeah, I mean, I've paid a little bit of attention to Teal over time. I mean, I had heard about the Prospera project on Roiton, I think is the island years ago,

and I kind of just wrote it off as libertarian nonsense. But over the last few months, it's been made apparent that Teal and his group are much more reactionary than we may have realized and much more interested in something like Curtis Yarbon what had written about. And we always kind of knew that Teal and his sort of people were somewhat influenced by Yarbon. but they seem to make me a serious power play right now, and they're sort of piggybacking on what Musk and Tucker Carlson have mentioned to do in terms of opening up the dialogue. Specifically, Musk and Carlson are really facilitating their entry

because those two are very much against the neocons as well. So there's sort of this one-to-punch coming, because obviously the neocons have the reins of power, right, and they're extremely hard to unseat. So these factions do have to cooperate to some extent, even if they have sort of different visions of the future in order for any of them to gain any control over the Trump presidency. So, yeah, that's my thoughts on it. Just to give you an idea of the Prosper Project on Roiton in Honduras, that island has an international airport. You can fly into it from Atlanta.

You can fly into it from Miami, I believe, and a few other airports. and they also just signed a 50-year treaty. And I was looking at the resort they have there, which is really nice, not more expensive than most resorts. A little bit, maybe a little bit more expensive than most resorts down in that area. But yeah, this is something that's actually for real. This isn't like Lieberland over between Croatia,

where they basically every time they try to do something, the, you know, a real government comes in and beats, you know, beats the crap out of them and breaks all their stuff. No, they're doing this the right way. They're not doing it like a bunch of pussy libertarians. Accidently left some tennis shoes on that island once. So, you know, a nice place. I've been on vacation there before. I think we should pay more attention to what's going on with projects like this.

I think it's part of something bigger called the Free Cities program or something like that movement. Yeah, indeed. I know I'm a praxis, I think, is another one of these companies that's working on these free city movements and such. So, no doubt, we'll have to be keeping a close eye on all these guys. But, you know, I mean, things are moving. The energy is clearly, it's clearly different from 2020 this time around. And while it's closer to 2016 energy, this election cycle, 2024, I wouldn't say it's quite that either. You know, but something is in the air. know. There's definitely something changing.

2016 was like a big joke, right, pretty much. And then 2020 total disaster. This year, this one's different because it feels like 2016 in terms of, okay, now it's time for the right to be ascended again. But this time, it's not a joke. This time there are serious people moving behind Trump's incoming cabinet to actually get shit done for real and not. just be like, yay, look, we, we elected the orange bad. We win now. You know, the whole,

the, like, populist Steve Bannon angle is just totally absent now from, from Trump, which is actually good. Yeah, no, I'm going to say, if everything that you guys are talking about and everything that I've been talking about, what it tells me is that, and we review history and we think about it, then, you know, we all live through it, right? And now we're here eight years later. And if you look, It was during the Trump administration. It was like we got an orange man elected. Behind the scenes, all the groundwork started to be laid to finally after, what, almost 250 freaking years, to get the American monetary system independent of

City of London and Europe. Okay? This has never been the case in the past. I just did a two and a half hour podcast for Richard Poe for my podcast, which has gotten rave reviews for a variety of reasons. reasons and not the least of which is is Richard actually brought up a number of points that were really important, which is how much control the British actually had over our trade monetary policy all through the 19th century. From the day after Cornwallis surrendered to York County, they still had massive control. We had, you know, all we could do and we were allowed to do legally and was to sell them, you know, basic goods.

And we had the buy back finish goods from them. And this persisted for a long, long time. It persisted all the way through the Civil War, what we down here like to call the recent unpleasantness, and at an end. And it wasn't until 1913 that the real, you know, takeover, the globalist, lack of a better term, British, globalist, whatever, so basically the same thing. Takeover the United States occurred when we had 1913. The income tax, direct election of senators, the Federal Reserve, yada, yada, yada.

All of a sudden, the United States. has a foreign policy that is completely different under Woodrow Wilson and the banking system that is now divorced from what the founders actually put in place for us. It was the creation, in my argument, is the creation of SOFER, which began under Trump. So while everybody was losing their minds about Trump being in power, behind the scenes, Manuchin, Powell, and the rest of them we're all laying the groundwork for the future. And that future is here now in this election cycle. Okay.

And I think that that's one way of looking at this. And it kind of the more we explore it from that perspective, I think the more that that perspective gains credibility. Because it's just so very, very clear at this point that there's something happening, as you guys have pointed out, as I've pointed out, and that now you have the big players, the real players, the real power brokers. And the way I described it in the past was that we got Trump elected. Oh my fuck, we actually have the opportunity to like, you know, stop this bullshit.

Before that point, Wall Street effectively had to go along to get along. They had no real opportunity to declare independence because of LIBOR, because of SOFER, because of all these things. I've talked about at length, which, you know, anybody's ever listened to me to talk, knows exactly what I'm, you know, what I'm about to say. And I don't need to go into a 20-minute recitation of it. But it's this. So now you can add in what you guys are talking about with Teal and the people around him.

There's another faction. And what I'm hearing from you guys is really interesting. While you were talking, what I heard or what popped into my head was that somebody really understands and is laying bets that these large, unwieldy, unsustainable, monolithic governments like the United States, like the European Union, to a lesser extent, even like China, are soon to be a thing of the past, that we are moving into a breakdown period where the old empires are finally all clashing and they're going to leave each other bloodied and broken on the side of the road.

and people with money are getting set to create fiefdoms for themselves and nodes of, I like to say, like safe capital. In effect, I hate to even like bring this up, but almost like a whole bunch of gullets gullets, gullets, running around just waiting for the fire to start, to start to look at rebuilding the world, say around 2040, 2050, something on those lines, but we're going to have this 20-year period where everything continues to finally,

you know, slowly grind to a hall. And I think that may be, and the best I think we can hope for is that we don't have, you know, the kind of World War III we all worry about, which would actually, you know, the best thing we can do is the muddle through the way I kind of just put it as opposed to, you know, going out in a conflagration. And, you know, then again,

Where's the SPF 50,000? Where's my case of whiskey? Where's my humidore full of cigars? There's definitely a lot of angles to be watching this situation develop very closely. I do like Charlie. And I agree with you very much so that it seems like this time people are playing for keeps. And it just seems like the old 2020, 2016 media playbook really just isn't working anymore on that front. I mean, people are serious this time.

You know, the meme, you have one year, you know, might actually be true after. after all, we'll have to see. But I'm a gentleman, Biden is scheduled to us speaking in about 10 minutes. So we must have piled through all these super chats that piled up. So let's go through them right now. Seneca, one of our strongest soldiers for three bucks. Can't wait for buying to leak a bunch of state secret.

Damn, every time a new one pops up, I get dragged to the bottom. I can't wait for buying to leak a bunch of state secrets and a fit of verbal diarrhea. Long live managed democracy. Yes, of course. Be sure to catch them, prudentialists, some hell divers two streams.

on them on Fridays. It's been fun playing with them. Pete Bootpest, again, one of our strongest donors here for five bucks. The Newland resignation was interesting. When announcing that she was quitting, Newland said, quote, I sure will miss the Ukrainians, but they were delicious.

What a repulsive woman. Does she actually say that? No, there's no way. There's no way. I mean, come on. These people are crazy. Like,

you can't, I have to ask. I don't know. I'm just imagining her as like a job of the hut kind of character. you know, repulsive creature. Anyhow, Sammy for 20 bucks

sends us a 03. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Let's see here. Moving on, Luz Amplar. A good friend here for

five bucks. Imagine Tulsi versus Harris debate. You know it'd smell crazy in there in more ways than one. Yeah, I mean, you know,

those two women absolutely hate each other. I mean, it's interesting. seeing Tulsi Gabbard injected into the conversation again because it seems like she kind of went dark the past couple of years. But, you know, I mean, we don't believe in coincidences, right? Yeah, she's training to throw boulders at Harris, I guess. Yeah, apparently.

Yeah. You have to wonder about her new pro 2A thing too. So apparently now she's pro 2A. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's moved. She's moved in that direction for a while now. And, you know, question, you know, you can question it or not.

But I think that, you know, once you get once, everybody, once they start, I've seen this with other people, not just with the Second Amendment, but in other issues as well. That when you reach, it's one thing when everybody's comfortable, like, yeah, you know, the Second Amendment is not really necessary because we have faith in our leadership. We have faith in the institutions. We're not based in the institutions, like, all of a sudden, like, no, no, no, that's what the Second Amendment's for. And so, but again, you can, you know,

take that with us salt at the taste. Indeed. We'll see what she does here as the election season carries on. But I will give her credit. That was a legendary takedown she had of Kamala Harris at the DNC debates several years ago. She smoked that pig. Yeah.

She smoked Hillary Clinton. I mean, this is a woman who went up against Hillary Clinton and lived to tell the tale. That is true. That is true. multiple times let's see next monster for 20 bucks

sends us a salute thank you very much sir we appreciate it and paladin Y Y Y YZ for $70 that deserves a I love gold I love

gold thank you very much Paladin Y Y YZ for the $70 and the spirit of jury null Can't we just collectively elect one of these counter elites that we think is on our side and just email him and say that he's now our president? How many of these guys are there anyway?

Enough. Trump is not our guy. Well, I mean, I think the whole point of this is that Trump is a nice distraction. I think the whole point of this is that Trump isn't our guy. He's just a he's a puppet of somebody else now. Indeed. Let's see. We got another one from a Pippoo to Best here for another five bucks.

is the U.S. staring down the barrel of a recession. I feel like we're just doing everything to keep the ship afloat instead of letting it just reset. What I mean? It's probably doing that for forever, at least since I've been alive, right? What do you think, Tom? What's not? Are we staring at a recession? Technically no, and de facto, yes.

Technically, no, the government's spending $2 trillion more than they're taking in. They can turn, they can make the GDP numbers, which is gross national spending, whatever they want it to look like. And they have. Yeah, indeed. We're just so far off the reservation at this point as to, you know,

what economics should actually be like, particularly after, you know, the tobacco we saw in 2020. I mean, it's just, it, I definitely have lost interest in the economics question

over the last couple of years, just simply because like, who the hell knows what the hell is going on at this point is nuts. But, uh, that's why we got people like you, Tom, to keep eyes on it for us because,

you know, I can't make heads or tails of it anymore. it's crystal clear to me what's happening let me put it this way guys if what I've said from the beginning is that Powell is doing exactly what I would do is if I was Fed chair I'd raise rates quick

I'd make everybody squirm I'd just continue to say look no no the Fed put is dead and it's not your daddy's fed we don't have a globalist in charge I'm running this thing the way we're supposed to run it fuck all of you and that's what he's done and

and it's just that simple. It's like, you know, as an Austrian, like, how do you run a central bank? Right. Well, it's a, you know, it's like, it's mixed emotions. But at the end of the day, this is the institution you're running. This is what you have to do. And if you want, if you want the Fed as an organization to survive and Powell is a, you know, he's the FOMC chair, well, then you have to stop acting like the central bank of the world.

And you got to start acting like the central bank of the United States. and that's what he's been doing. And everybody else has been left to hang. Fair enough. Mr. Pete Budapest again here for five bucks. Look, in order to be effective,

Trump needs to pick a VP that the regime hates as much as they hate Trump. No regime handler. I mean, I question how much, I mean, does the vice president even really like do much anymore these days? I mean, obviously we had like Dick Cheney during the Bush years,

but I don't know. It seems like in recent American history, that's kind of like the anomaly as opposed to. I mean, like, do we really think the vice president has that much power anymore? What do you guys think? No, the vice president is globalist insurance. And you want somebody, and I, part of my argument for Gabbert is that she drives the right people just as crazy as Trump does.

See, I, because she's crossed them. My dark horse pick, and I think I told Tom this, and he, his eyes rolled backwards in his head a few times was, yeah. I, if you want to do that, Eric Prince is your guy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

There's definitely the, the other counterpoint that people say, which I don't know, it seems a little far-fetched to me. I mean, Tucker Carlson made allusions to this when he interviewed Trump a couple months back. Like, what if they decide to whack Trump? And then the vice president that comes in is the new president, right?

I mean, that's why there's no, that's why never Nikki. Yes, indeed. Because that's what Nikki Haley was doing. They wanted to put a person in the stall of his vice president. So then they could whack Trump. It's what they did to Reagan guys. They gave him George W. They gave him George H.W. Bush.

Okay. And then they tried to whack Reagan. And then somehow he survived. Like, it was, that was always the plan was to whack Reagan and put Bush in charge. and stop it then and you know I I I I don't trust there's nobody currently within the power structure of the GOP that is a credible VP candidate that I trust that isn't getable or doesn't have a stack of manila boulders on this desk his or her desk that's so deep and it's like you know which which mafia has more middle of folders on that side of the desk and that's what you have to ask yourself and I just I look at someone like Aberd and I go she's as unencumbered as as all of them and she's proven multiple times that she's willing to go up against these people and say no and say you know what fuck you

and that's that's my main argument that's ultimately my main argument that and a number of other things in order to shore up that Trump gets the create you know gets a hold of the center and part of the soccer mom set and all the rest of So I, you know, I think Pete Budapest is on the right track. You need somebody who's not a regime handler. And I don't, and I think, I think Vivek is too, he's not on the scene long enough to be trustworthy from that perspective. Gabr's, you know, she's, she's a Washington veteran. She's been in the room.

She knows what it looks like. She sat on committees. She's done, she's done the dirty work. And she walked away from power. Maybe she walked away from power because she knew that the Democrats were going to implode. and she was setting yourself up for today. Maybe. And she's just savvy. Okay.

Good for her. She's savvy. But you know, you want people that are not wedded to power. Because if Gabbard wanted to stay in Congress, she could have done so. If she wanted to reenter Congress, she could have, you know, moved her home state to, I don't know, to some purple district and run as a Republican in 2022. And she'd have won. Going away. She'd have won.

no problem she'd be back in in congress if she wanted to but if your goal if your goal is as vevec is running around saying that you want your whoever gets elected they're the ones who called they're the one who call the shots then trump's not that guy trump's not the guy who's going to come in there and he's going to rule like a caesar he's going to need somebody there um it may not be the vice president but it's going to have to be somebody very very close who can rule like a cedar he's going to need somebody very, very close, who can rule like that, who can tell him exactly what they're doing, exactly what he needs to say. Just as Vivek did with that, the whole thing with, oh, you know, I had a private meeting with Trump,

and he said there'll never be a central bank digital currency. And then four hours later, Trump comes out and goes, there'll never be a central bank, central bank digital currency under my watch. And it's like, Trump doesn't know what a central bank digital currency is. He's just saying what he was told to say. I agree, Pete. And I think that we should be watching National Security Advisor as the big office. That's going to tell the Treasury Department.

It's going to be Treasury. Again, it's going to be Treasury, Secretary of many ways, Secretary of State, National Security Council, all of that. That's, you know, you know, yes. And Pete's next super. chat is exactly right about Mike Pence. Yeah, well, we'll get there in a moment here. But first, I'm a seasider for $10. Dune part two was good.

I did enjoy. I didn't enjoy Dune. I would recommend people go and see it. I thought it was Lord of the Rings level of filmmaking. The plot had some issues with that particular towards the end. But I think it was worth seeing in the movie theaters. And it's nice that we can actually still make good movies. So I would go and see it.

I enjoyed it. Anywho here. chuli for five bucks thank you for a great show Pete Charles and even my mortal enemy The Red Hawk yes I know I'm not liked by many but Many say studies suggest

That they dislike me but We're holding down the fort here Pete Putapest again Tom was just making reference to this a moment ago Pence and Pence's office was the regime Beachhead in the first Trump term Pence was involved in every Major

every damaging event slash leak in Trump's presidency and everyone in the chat please be sure to press s to spit at mike pence an absolute traitor to his country in a horrible man yeah um exactly right yeah and um uh belero uh 393 for five dollars question for those of us hoping to make our grandchildren rich in our inevitable victory is oran mackettire signed his book at the at the o g at the o g conference well uh you can ask him bring your bring your copy of the book to the event and maybe he'll sign it for you yeah is it actually out yet. I mean, it's, I pre-ordered it, but when does it come out? Early May. Okay. So maybe he will. Bring your copy. I'm sure he would if you asked him. Yeah, indeed.

All right. Well, uh, gents, the state of the union is coming up in two more minutes here. So, uh, we'll have to see what Biden has to say. But developing, uh, while we've been on air, actually is that there have been a bunch of pro-Palestine protesters that have actually blocked Joe Biden's motorcade on the way to the state of the union in the capital here. They're hosting a huge, yeah, look at that. They're blocking the road. It's actually a pretty sizable protest, right there and such. Do we have an update on this, Doug?

Have Biden been, have they cleared the obstruction? Oh, I'm sure. They probably had to by now. Oh, my God, it's another. You don't think that's that for her. It's another insurrection. Dude, you don't think that's that. Castro turf. Oh, it absolutely is.

Of course, Biden's happy to have this. Like, are you kidding? That's what he is, you know, this is part of, this is part of the whole, this is part of the whole two step. Obama two step that's going on. I don't, I don't buy any of this for a moment. There's like, Joe Biden.

That's what that's like, I think it's in line. Yeah, I know. I was about to say, look at all these dyscogenic fox in the audience here. My God. Well, yeah, it's definitely not organic. I mean, this was permitted months ago for sure. it's the best money that the best protesters that sorrows can buy well yeah big palestine uh flag there too yeah it is it got you know we were talking about cops a couple weeks back on this show but i'm just

looking at like the police presence here and everything i mean they really must be scraping the bottom of the barrel to get people to sign up for the cops at this point i mean just look at them they're all fat they're all like horribly unfit and such you know like and and you know i guess another conversation we were originally going to talk about this this week but then uh you know just covering the state of the union but did you guys see the pictures of the national guard uh guys in the new york subway tunnels now yeah i thought was just so fitting considering the discussion that john leibowitz and others of his kind have been discussing about tucker pointing out to the state of uh you know the subway stations in moscow and then like oh wow it's literally new york and

is literally National Guards got there because they refused to cut down on crime. Yeah. Eastern Europe after the fall. Every train station in Eastern Europe after the fall. Yeah, basically they're there to help the police fight hobos, I guess.

They don't actually have arrest power. Yeah, it's nuts. I mean, Hunger the Dime Riche and our good friend in the chat here for 15 bucks. Evening gents, another great pony express Thursday. Well, thank you very much.

much hunger. Look forward to seeing you at the event in a couple months here. He's a good guy. Yeah, he also agreed to be on my stream on Saturday where I'll be doing the Ukraine war updates with a raging Vangel as well. So check. I just, and I, I just dropped an episode before we went live with Darrell Martyrmaid Cooper on Victoria Nuland stepping down and the history and the state of this Ukraine conflict going back to the to the fall of the wall. Awesome. Yeah, definitely check that out. Pete Budapest again for five bucks.

Biden literally just yelled, don't jump to people as he got into the car at the White House. What the fuck is? Wait, really? Yeah, apparently. do a flight what he didn't yell thank you for the ice cream why yeah what's with the ice cream thing are they just like playing into the meme i don't understand why i think they are i think they're playing into memes at this point they definitely are with a dark branded thing it's

yeah yeah yeah but they're not any good at it yeah that's what's so weird about it they just co-opped all of our memes that are actually good and then uh you know it's like that south part joke like put a chicken and make her gay you know i mean It's basically like the exact same thing with our memes. Yeah. Here, you got, make her gay and lame. Exactly. Unreal.

It's just, it's pathetic. I don't know. I'll be honest with you. Joe Biden's not going to make it to the convention. He's not going to be the candidate. I don't care what, I don't know. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, here comes the biggest black pill you're ever going to hear.

Tom is going to. tell you who the two two candidates are going to be well okay now that she's dropped out of the race it's going to be hard but i literally could see the lay the lay of the land with if they had been able to figure on how to if they still put trump in jail i don't know how but they could still try if somehow they deny trump the candidacy then they will then the gopee will shoot horn niki haley as the gop candidate and who's angle who's clearly on the proof of life tour right now, which again is another reason why I want Tulsi Gavre

Trump's BP is Hillary. Hillary is for a comeback. And if there's nothing more demoralizing, nothing would be more demoralizing than Hillary versus Haley. No. Oh my God.

It would literally be Longhouse, the election. It would literally be, turn the fucking. fucking lights out. This is the shit's done. The Santas gets up on the next morning and goes, you know what? Fuck that. We're sunshine, a Republican Florida. We're offering 30 year bonds at 3%. Fuck off. Like, you know, I mean, seriously. Like, but there, it is a great, what they're trying to do to us is a great demoralization campaign. That's why Joe Biden, Joe Biden to make a, you know, another train map

reference, right? Why Joe Biden is president is, is demoralizing. Why have they, you know, why are they doing what they're doing? Everything they do is to demoralize us in some way matter-shape or form it and make it feel inevitable that the United States can't survive. And here's another one for you. I said this year, I've been saying this for years. If they don't go forward in Texas into seceding over doing some fucking stupid bullshit from Washington, D.C., then if we win, then the left, then, then the, then the, blue states are all going to succeed. They're making noises about it already. They haven't even,

I mean, the ink hasn't freaking dried for Christ's sake on the 9 to nothing, um, you know, Supreme court vote allowing Trump to be on the ballot. And these people are all are talking about freaking like leaving the union. It's, it's, it's the same playbook as, you know, as the 1840s where they, you know, they go to Massachusetts into standing on their, on their principles about slavery. And, you know, one of the, they were the first ones to threaten secession because they didn't want to be, you know, in the same country as slave owners. Like this is, you got to think like evil freaking people.

You've really got to start thinking like, like, like, like, I hate to say this, like freaking British triangulating assholes. You have to think like them. And when you think like them, when you really put on your Emperor Palpatine robes, I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I'm saying if they had, if they could have managed to ensure that they, that no matter who, one who lost they won Hillary versus Haley is the perfect setup because Hillary represents their interest. Haley clearly represents their interests and there's no choice.

And that's what they've been, you can see that's what they were angling for. I mean, Numerata is literally just call center Hillary. I mean, that's right. Well, Waffle House Hillary. Yeah. I think Jay Song in the chat here goes LOL.L. Longhouse, the election. Yeah, exactly. I don't get the Longhouse reference, by the way. Oh, yeah. Imagine the rule of the bootheel of a feminist dominatrix for forever.

That would be, you know, a long house, horrible. Anywho, Anaguma for five bucks. Soldiers in New York, disease running rampant. Is DeuSax reality? You know, I've actually never played any of the DeuSex games. surely you probably have Charlie it seems like your kind of game. Maybe maybe Charlie stepped away for the moment. But yeah, I never played any of those.

But yeah, could be. I mean, just look at these guys. It's just unbelievable. It's all a John Carpenter flick now. It's all escaped in New York. It's now it's going to be escaping. What I think we should be doing is getting the truckers to like bring in concrete barricades and start building the wall around D.C.

Yeah. for New York. Take your pick. I don't really care. And like, lock them in there and let them all fight it out. You know, just leave us alone. It'd be great. It's just so surreal. It's just so surreal seeing these, um, uh, videos going on. That's nuts. I'm glad I've never been to New York in my entire life. I have no plans on going to any time soon.

I grew up with Pete and I grew up in the area. Yeah. Yeah. It's that's actually the. like that they um the further you got towards the 90s the more you would see cops like that and maybe not checking things like that and everything but um you know the there were hardly any cops around when I was like really young but as I got older the cops were all over the place I mean that's the way Giuliani cleaned it up right broken window broken windows

and everything and now um governor Katie is uh begging all the uh you know real estate guys not to because like, oh, no, we just broke the law just to, you know, go after Trump. We won't go after anybody else. You guys, your money is safe here. A woman is insane. She's an insane person. Jesus wants you to take the jab. Remember when she said that?

Wow. You know, it's funny. Also, I didn't they, I saw this going around on Twatter earlier today, actually. But they filed, like, grand jury injunctions to Andrew Cuomo now. and they're basically going to blame all the COVID deaths on him now. He's going to be the fall guy. Well, you know, I called him grandma killer during COVID. Yeah.

And I, you know, I do a bad David Byrne impression, but, you know, just substitute, you know, psycho killer. He's grandma killer. I mean, seriously, like, let's get out the beatbox and the acoustic guitar and let's sing, let's sing our oath to the grandma killer. He's a fucking horrible person. But you could see it happening when he was doing it. I'm like, this guy's killing grandma. and he's doing it on purpose.

But again, like, you know, I saw something else today. It's really, I don't know if you guys saw this, but Biden's anti-SB director admitted today in public, I think either under testimony or under oath, that there was no need for them to blow up the, to start the fire on the, the, in East Palestine, Ohio, that they had it under control. So now you've got to ask yourself the question, why did they do that?

Why were they trying to poison the entire Ohio Valley? Ohio River Valley? Oh. Yeah, no. And then you start asking yourself, oh, really? So the Georgia Guidestones were real? These people really do want to kill off seven billion people between the jab, between this, and they're not like, like, it's all just a depopulation, deemoralization.

I mean, I hate to sound like Alex Jones here. Like, I don't have one there. You know, I will say this, Tom. I mean, just from personal anecdotes, I had a friend of a friend, guys, 28 years old, dropped dead this week, heart clock. Oh, so sorry. Yeah, it's my handyman is, uh,

the guy who's building my, my office in the back here, um, you know, had to take a week off and go to, and go to a funeral out in Arizona because his 29 year old niece, dropped dead. Died suddenly. I agree with you. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

about depopulation being their agenda. And that literally means killing billions of people. And it's also why they don't care about all the immigrants because they're just going to get rid of them too. At the end of the day, they don't even, they don't care about any of this stuff. They don't like 700,000 or 500,000 dead slobs, you know, fighting over swamp land in Ukraine. This is a good start to these people. This is the way you have to think. They're just evil.

Yeah, there's there's, there's blinking and yelling, walking up to, uh, Look at all these people. I won't be able to watch the United States. I don't watch people to pass super chat. Hold on. George Santos is on the house floor tonight as a guest wearing a Lincoln Riley pin unbelievably based. Wow.

And then we got another one here from Sergei Lewis for five bucks. Israel shifting right in light of the ongoing conflict out with Biden and with Trump as a means of securing more support for Israel. Well, man, I know they're really. leaks that were being dropped earlier today about the contents of a Biden speech year. And there are discussions about how Biden's going to announce in this speech about how the United States military is going to get involved in Gaza, building a port for humanitarian aid, which literally just means, you know, Palestinian immigrants are coming to the West. So be prepared, which we all

knew. It also means that they're serious about building an alternate path, an alternate trade route from like as Netanyahu got out his red pen to draw a big line on the map from India to Israel and that the whole Ben-Gurran canal project and all that they they firmly believe in this stuff. Yeah, there's also a lot of they need to figure out how they can get control again

over maritime trade around the Arabian Peninsula. And I got news for you. No fucking way in hell is Putin going to allow that. There's a lot of competition in this in this region too for the natural gas resources and the where the pipelines are going to go in the Black Sea as well. That's part of it. That's more of a distraction, I think, than anything else, the best I can tell about that, a lot of those natural gas deposits are really uneconomic for certainly for sending into Europe. Like, but Europe's so desperate for for energy collateral at this point. They'll do, they'll literally do anything.

So, you know, Israeli politics are, you know, are very, you know, are very. interesting subject, right? And, you know, who maps to the two maps to British influence, who maps to continental Europe? I do not believe those are the same groups of globalists, okay, at all at this point. I think, you know, you can look at, um, Netanyahu versus Natali Bennett, for example, as a, you know, 10 Downing Street or, you know, as a city of London versus Frankfurt, you know, problem, Brussels problem. Um, you fight and that's why we've seen so many you know elections you know we they can't make a no one neither side can really make any headway and hold on to the government for any like the time in israel it's a

very important this is the same problem that's been going on for years of the british like the british weren't you the british populace weren't allowed to to pull britain away from europe right so i mean this is there's a big big fight when you start mapping the the the whole continental Europe thing and the old colonial powers of Europe you realize that they're all still fighting amongst themselves it's still the same shit that they were doing 150 years ago you know the French still hate the British

the French still hate the Italians the Italians are you know beholden to the Americans because there's 100 American military bases in it in Italy the Germans are just trying to you know be German and everybody is worried to death that they're going to ally with the Russians and you know like you can just it's all those same

arguments that have been existent for over 100 years are still in effect and they're still fighting amongst themselves and you know the the technocrats in brussels really have no other choice but then to continue running their Microsoft project ant chart they don't have any options they have to keep going forward hoping that they can you know somehow pull out a victory against what's happening against the fed wall street the the the PayPal mafia as you guys like to put it, and the end, the global south. Because clearly the Russians and the Saudis and the bricks in general can, they see this happening as well.

And then they place their bets for their own advantage, you know, on either side. And I see that very, very clearly at this point. It's no, I don't have an answer as to who's going to win. Okay. But because, you know, there's still too many wildcards here. so many, too many variables, and they mostly involve, you know, nuclear warheads. But you can see the level of existential crisis that all of these groups are under, and they're all acting in ways that are increasingly desperate.

And when people are desperate, they do really dumb shit. And, you know, and now we have this. And there's definitely no shortage of people making mistakes recently, you know, given that desperation is definitely settling in. I mean, I'm just watching all the faces of these clowns in the audience here at the State of the Union. Just number one, they're all like, you know, oxygenarians. All of them are so fucking old. Like the day of the pillow cannot come fast enough.

Let me tell you. But no, another thing here too is Tom, I suppose we can give you an exit here whenever you like, unless you want to sit down and listen to Biden with us and torture yourself. I cannot listen to Joe Biden speak. Joe Biden, I cannot do it. I cannot do it. So thank you guys for the invite. Thanks, Pete, for setting this up and all the rest of it.

You know, we'll do this. If you're okay with it, I'll be happy to pick another Thursday night in the future and we'll do it again. And we'll see where we are and see where things are in a couple of months. Yeah, certainly we'd be happy to have you back. Anything you want to promote there. As always, you can, you know, follow my public workover at goldcoats and guns. com. You can follow me on Twitter where I'm a complete asshole every day.

And, you know, I revel in the opportunity to be so. Thank you, Elon Musk. And of course, then there's the Patreon service or Patreon slash Gold Goats and Guns where I do this routine for the patrons three to four times a week. All right. Well, thank you very much, Tom.

We'll be having to have a great night. Enjoy it. Thanks, Tom. Be well. Bye-bye.
