Norman Thomas didn't do very well that Norman Thomas didn't do very well that Norman Thomas didn't do very well that year, probably because Herbert Hoover year, probably because Herbert Hoover year, probably because Herbert Hoover took the threat seriously. took the threat seriously. took the threat seriously. So, this is not a new idea at all. It's So, this is not a new idea at all. It's So, this is not a new idea at all. It's the oldest idea because it's the most the oldest idea because it's the most the oldest idea because it's the most obvious idea. If you don't attend to obvious idea.

It's Ben Shapiro. We're lot of clips. It's Ben Shapiro. We're lot of clips. It's Ben Shapiro. We're going to play it in just a sec. But going to play it in just a sec. But going to play it in just a sec. But before we do, just a caveat. We're not before we do, just a caveat. We're not before we do, just a caveat. We're not playing this to suggest that Ben Shapiro playing this to suggest that Ben Shapiro playing this to suggest that Ben Shapiro was like a shaper of history, a mover in was like a shaper of history, a mover in was like a shaper of history, a mover in American politics. He's not. He's an American politics. He's not. He's an American politics. He's not. He's an employee like most everybody else. He's employee like most everybody else.

in an effort to speak to the people who in an effort to speak to the people who put him up to it. So the whole point of put him up to it. So the whole point of put him up to it. So the whole point of Ben Shapiro and there is a point to Ben Ben Shapiro and there is a point to Ben Ben Shapiro and there is a point to Ben Shapiro. This is not like some organic Shapiro. This is not like some organic Shapiro. This is not like some organic phenomenon like Ben Shapiro was just so phenomenon like Ben Shapiro was just so phenomenon like Ben Shapiro was just so charming and brilliant that he somehow charming and brilliant that he somehow charming and brilliant that he somehow got into Harvard Law School and then got into Harvard Law School and then got into Harvard Law School and then eyebrows and all emerged as a social eyebrows and all emerged as a social eyebrows and all emerged as a social media titan.

And when I first sent it to the I was working with this firm in London I was working with this firm in London I was working with this firm in London um the head of research just started um the head of research just started um the head of research just started laughing and he said I've always believe laughing and he said I've always believe laughing and he said I've always believe that government is inefficient and the that government is inefficient and the that government is inefficient and the solution is to bring in more private you solution is to bring in more private you solution is to bring in more private you know more private capacity and he said know more private capacity and he said know more private capacity and he said I'm reading this and what I realize is I'm reading this and what I realize is I'm reading this and what I realize is you know what is going on is the private you know what is going on is the private you know what is going on is the private guys are just using the government to guys are just using the government to guys are just using the government to pay themselves huge and hideous profits pay themselves huge and hideous profits pay themselves huge and hideous profits above market in a way that's destroying above market in a way that's destroying above market in a way that's destroying ing markets. ing markets. ing markets. So, so we have these public private So, so we have these public private So, so we have these public private partnerships that involve huge partnerships that involve huge partnerships that involve huge corruption, huge grift, and aren't corruption, huge grift, and aren't corruption, huge grift, and aren't productive at all. But the spin they use productive at all. But the spin they use productive at all. But the spin they use is the what you just described. is the what you just described. is the what you just described. >> Boy, it's a very effective argument, and >> Boy, it's a very effective argument, and >> Boy, it's a very effective argument, and it certainly fooled me. Um, definitely it certainly fooled me. Um, definitely it certainly fooled me. Um, definitely fooled me. So, how does that trend that fooled me. So, how does that trend that fooled me. So, how does that trend that you just described cause inflation?

you just described cause inflation? you just described cause inflation? So, so for example, and and there are So, so for example, and and there are So, so for example, and and there are thousands of different examples, but one thousands of different examples, but one thousands of different examples, but one of the things that drive prices up is of the things that drive prices up is of the things that drive prices up is when you have consolidation into when you have consolidation into when you have consolidation into monopolies or duopolies. And so, if the monopolies or duopolies. And so, if the monopolies or duopolies. And so, if the Department of Justice is simply not Department of Justice is simply not Department of Justice is simply not enforcing enforcing enforcing um antirust, you're going to get um antirust, you're going to get um antirust, you're going to get consolidation and monopoly pricing. Um consolidation and monopoly pricing. Um consolidation and monopoly pricing. Um the best example, of course, is the the best example, of course, is the the best example, of course, is the bailouts. So, according to the Levy bailouts. So, according to the Levy bailouts. So, according to the Levy Institute, there were $29 trillion on Institute, there were $29 trillion on Institute, there were $29 trillion on the bailouts. And what did we see? Um, the bailouts. And what did we see? Um, the bailouts. And what did we see? Um, we saw a group of financial institutions we saw a group of financial institutions we saw a group of financial institutions engage in massive mortgage fraud and engage in massive mortgage fraud and engage in massive mortgage fraud and financial fraud. As a result, we had $29 financial fraud. As a result, we had $29 financial fraud. As a result, we had $29 trillion of bailings which does run up trillion of bailings which does run up trillion of bailings which does run up the debt quite quite a certain amount. the debt quite quite a certain amount. the debt quite quite a certain amount. And then um what happens? They get the And then um what happens? They get the And then um what happens? They get the benefit of more access to the federal benefit of more access to the federal benefit of more access to the federal credit, special all sorts of special credit, special all sorts of special credit, special all sorts of special dispensations. And coming out of the dispensations. And coming out of the dispensations. And coming out of the financial crisis, they have a major much financial crisis, they have a major much financial crisis, they have a major much bigger market share, right? bigger market share, right? bigger market share, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, not only did they get $29 trillion >> So, not only did they get $29 trillion >> So, not only did they get $29 trillion of bailouts, but suddenly they shifted of bailouts, but suddenly they shifted of bailouts, but suddenly they shifted their market share up dramatically in a their market share up dramatically in a their market share up dramatically in a way that gives them monopoly pricing way that gives them monopoly pricing way that gives them monopoly pricing power. Okay? And so you know and that power. Okay? And so you know and that power. Okay? And so you know and that was combined for example in the was combined for example in the was combined for example in the financial area with changing the laws in financial area with changing the laws in financial area with changing the laws in 7980 to allow essentially 7980 to allow essentially 7980 to allow essentially usery.

usery. usery. So, [laughter] So, [laughter] So, [laughter] so for example, when I, as I told you, I so for example, when I, as I told you, I so for example, when I, as I told you, I I went [clears throat] from a process of I went [clears throat] from a process of I went [clears throat] from a process of being a multi-millionaire to having a being a multi-millionaire to having a being a multi-millionaire to having a very rich cash flow every month to very rich cash flow every month to very rich cash flow every month to having to live on $2,000 a month and run having to live on $2,000 a month and run having to live on $2,000 a month and run my and bring down my companies and run my and bring down my companies and run my and bring down my companies and run my companies with that on the $2,000. my companies with that on the $2,000. my companies with that on the $2,000. And and when things are really And and when things are really And and when things are really desperate, I used to always get a credit desperate, I used to always get a credit desperate, I used to always get a credit card in the mail from JP Morgan Chase card in the mail from JP Morgan Chase card in the mail from JP Morgan Chase for $300 for $300 for $300 um with a $50 signup fee and then 30% um with a $50 signup fee and then 30% um with a $50 signup fee and then 30% interest rate. [laughter] And it was you're in the corner, you you And it was you're in the corner, you you know, according to the Department of know, according to the Department of know, according to the Department of Justice, you have to be in Washington in Justice, you have to be in Washington in Justice, you have to be in Washington in two days and suddenly you magically get two days and suddenly you magically get two days and suddenly you magically get this credit card which will finance your this credit card which will finance your this credit card which will finance your trip for 50% interest rates when you trip for 50% interest rates when you trip for 50% interest rates when you combine in the fee. combine in the fee. combine in the fee. >> So th this is when you were being >> So th this is when you were being >> So th this is when you were being assailed, prosecuted by the Department assailed, prosecuted by the Department assailed, prosecuted by the Department of Justice after you left government of Justice after you left government of Justice after you left government yourself. yourself. yourself. >> Yeah. So my comp I had a company >> Yeah. So my comp I had a company >> Yeah. So my comp I had a company Hamilton Securities Group which was Hamilton Securities Group which was Hamilton Securities Group which was working as the lead financial adviser to working as the lead financial adviser to working as the lead financial adviser to the Department of Housing and Urban the Department of Housing and Urban the Department of Housing and Urban Development and um and we were Development and um and we were Development and um and we were essentially responsible for making sure essentially responsible for making sure essentially responsible for making sure portfolio strategy was done properly as portfolio strategy was done properly as portfolio strategy was done properly as well as doing loan sales and we were well as doing loan sales and we were well as doing loan sales and we were essentially stopping money from essentially stopping money from essentially stopping money from disappearing out of the back door of disappearing out of the back door of disappearing out of the back door of HUD.

So if I want to change the economy and I So if I want to change the economy and I So if I want to change the economy and I want to change it from a de a democratic want to change it from a de a democratic want to change it from a de a democratic republic to a um essentially an republic to a um essentially an republic to a um essentially an oligarchy, oligarchy, oligarchy, then what I need to do is I need to then what I need to do is I need to then what I need to do is I need to um consolidate wealth and I need to um consolidate wealth and I need to um consolidate wealth and I need to reduce the general population to a group reduce the general population to a group reduce the general population to a group of people who are much easier to of people who are much easier to of people who are much easier to control. So let me go back in in 1995 control. So let me go back in in 1995 control. So let me go back in in 1995 there was an effort made by the people there was an effort made by the people there was an effort made by the people who I would describe as leading the who I would describe as leading the who I would describe as leading the financial system to try and put the financial system to try and put the financial system to try and put the country on a financially sound basis and country on a financially sound basis and country on a financially sound basis and it failed and ended up at the end of it failed and ended up at the end of it failed and ended up at the end of 1995 in a 3-week shutdown of the 1995 in a 3-week shutdown of the 1995 in a 3-week shutdown of the government. I don't know if you remember government. I don't know if you remember government. I don't know if you remember that was during the Clinton that was during the Clinton that was during the Clinton administration administration administration >> and it was described to me by the >> and it was described to me by the >> and it was described to me by the president of the largest pension fund in president of the largest pension fund in president of the largest pension fund in the country several years later. He the country several years later. He the country several years later. He said, "You don't understand. They've said, "You don't understand. They've said, "You don't understand. They've given up. They've given up on the given up. They've given up on the given up. They've given up on the country and they're moving all the money country and they're moving all the money country and they're moving all the money out starting in the fall." And that was out starting in the fall." And that was out starting in the fall." And that was when the $21 trillion started to go when the $21 trillion started to go when the $21 trillion started to go missing, you know, compounded by the 29 missing, you know, compounded by the 29 missing, you know, compounded by the 29 trillion that went out on the bailouts.

trillion that went out on the bailouts. trillion that went out on the bailouts. I think what happened was when they I think what happened was when they I think what happened was when they failed to to achieve a real fiscal a failed to to achieve a real fiscal a failed to to achieve a real fiscal a fiscally responsible fiscally responsible fiscally responsible um approach to the federal balance sheet um approach to the federal balance sheet um approach to the federal balance sheet that they decided to do two things. One, that they decided to do two things. One, that they decided to do two things. One, they decided to do a financial coup they decided to do a financial coup they decided to do a financial coup um in a process where instead of the um in a process where instead of the um in a process where instead of the bankers just running monetary policy, bankers just running monetary policy, bankers just running monetary policy, they could then run fiscal policy. And I they could then run fiscal policy. And I they could then run fiscal policy. And I think the second thing they decided to think the second thing they decided to think the second thing they decided to do is if you can't balance the budget do is if you can't balance the budget do is if you can't balance the budget with financial responsibility, you can with financial responsibility, you can with financial responsibility, you can balance the budget by lowering life balance the budget by lowering life balance the budget by lowering life expectancy. So if you if you can't fund expectancy. So if you if you can't fund expectancy. So if you if you can't fund the pension and retirement system with the pension and retirement system with the pension and retirement system with enough money to meet your obligations, enough money to meet your obligations, enough money to meet your obligations, you can meet your obligations by you can meet your obligations by you can meet your obligations by lowering life expectancy. lowering life expectancy. lowering life expectancy. And I think a conscious decision was And I think a conscious decision was And I think a conscious decision was made to do that. that literally right made to do that. that literally right made to do that. that literally right after the budget deal sort of busted, after the budget deal sort of busted, after the budget deal sort of busted, two decisions were made. One was to two decisions were made. One was to two decisions were made. One was to approve Oxycontton and open the pill approve Oxycontton and open the pill approve Oxycontton and open the pill mills. The second was uh all sorts of mills. The second was uh all sorts of mills. The second was uh all sorts of policies that uh permitted HUD and other policies that uh permitted HUD and other policies that uh permitted HUD and other mortgage predatory lending. And that mortgage predatory lending. And that mortgage predatory lending. And that happened right as they also made the happened right as they also made the happened right as they also made the decision to do the private prisons and decision to do the private prisons and decision to do the private prisons and they kept flooding the neighborhoods they kept flooding the neighborhoods they kept flooding the neighborhoods with drugs. And if you look at the with drugs. And if you look at the with drugs. And if you look at the combination of the pill mills, the combination of the pill mills, the combination of the pill mills, the predatory lending, narcotics trafficking predatory lending, narcotics trafficking predatory lending, narcotics trafficking coming in. Again, this is all covered in coming in. Again, this is all covered in coming in. Again, this is all covered in my online book, you know, it

my online book, you know, it my online book, you know, it dramatically started to to steadily dramatically started to to steadily dramatically started to to steadily reduce life expectancy, particularly in reduce life expectancy, particularly in reduce life expectancy, particularly in the lower income groups. And I knew it the lower income groups. And I knew it the lower income groups. And I knew it was coming. One of the reasons I kept was coming. One of the reasons I kept was coming. One of the reasons I kept talking with everybody about the missing talking with everybody about the missing talking with everybody about the missing money is I knew that it would hit the money is I knew that it would hit the money is I knew that it would hit the middle income groups. It was just a middle income groups. It was just a middle income groups. It was just a matter of time. And I remember I always matter of time. And I remember I always matter of time. And I remember I always tell the story of talking to Dr. Mark tell the story of talking to Dr. Mark tell the story of talking to Dr. Mark Skidmore who had worked with me on the Skidmore who had worked with me on the Skidmore who had worked with me on the missing money. We were sitting I was missing money. We were sitting I was missing money. We were sitting I was sitting in a car in Boliver, Tennessee. sitting in a car in Boliver, Tennessee. sitting in a car in Boliver, Tennessee. I was doing errands and he kept saying I was doing errands and he kept saying I was doing errands and he kept saying to me, "Why do you keep bringing up all to me, "Why do you keep bringing up all to me, "Why do you keep bringing up all the money that's going missing from the the money that's going missing from the the money that's going missing from the federal government? Why don't you give federal government? Why don't you give federal government? Why don't you give up on this?" And I said, "Don't you up on this?" And I said, "Don't you up on this?" And I said, "Don't you understand, Mark? If we don't do understand, Mark? If we don't do understand, Mark? If we don't do something about this, they're they're something about this, they're they're something about this, they're they're going to take radical steps of lowering going to take radical steps of lowering going to take radical steps of lowering life expectancy." And that was in 2018. life expectancy." And that was in 2018. life expectancy." And that was in 2018. And of course, you know, CO hit in 2020 And of course, you know, CO hit in 2020 And of course, you know, CO hit in 2020 and what did we get? We we got a whole and what did we get? We we got a whole and what did we get? We we got a whole series of actions that continued to series of actions that continued to series of actions that continued to lower life expectancy, but this time in lower life expectancy, but this time in lower life expectancy, but this time in the middle and upper middle class the middle and upper middle class the middle and upper middle class groups, groups, groups, it it's so obvious to me that reducing it it's so obvious to me that reducing it it's so obvious to me that reducing population either through shortening population either through shortening population either through shortening their lives or preventing them from their lives or preventing them from their lives or preventing them from being born in the first place, I mean, being born in the first place, I mean, being born in the first place, I mean, that's official US policy, of course, that's official US policy, of course, that's official US policy, of course, right?

right? right? >> Abortion, youth in Asia, drugs. Um, >> Abortion, youth in Asia, drugs. Um, >> Abortion, youth in Asia, drugs. Um, but I I've always sort of wondered why but I I've always sort of wondered why but I I've always sort of wondered why and and do you think it's because that's and and do you think it's because that's and and do you think it's because that's the only way to get the country solvent? the only way to get the country solvent? the only way to get the country solvent? >> So I think it's a combination of things. >> So I think it's a combination of things. >> So I think it's a combination of things. First of all, you have um again we have First of all, you have um again we have First of all, you have um again we have this explosive new technology and I this explosive new technology and I this explosive new technology and I think you have a lot of people in the think you have a lot of people in the think you have a lot of people in the leadership who believe first of all it's leadership who believe first of all it's leadership who believe first of all it's very difficult to manage people very difficult to manage people very difficult to manage people particularly if they get their hands on particularly if they get their hands on particularly if they get their hands on this technology but they also believe this technology but they also believe this technology but they also believe they're going to live for a long long they're going to live for a long long they're going to live for a long long time. Um you know Jared Kushner when he time. Um you know Jared Kushner when he time. Um you know Jared Kushner when he left the first Trump administration did left the first Trump administration did left the first Trump administration did a podcast and said I'm the first a podcast and said I'm the first a podcast and said I'm the first generation to live forever, the last generation to live forever, the last generation to live forever, the last generation to you know not live forever. generation to you know not live forever. generation to you know not live forever. Um Sean Parker, one of the co-founders Um Sean Parker, one of the co-founders Um Sean Parker, one of the co-founders of Facebook, said, "I'm g I'm a of Facebook, said, "I'm g I'm a of Facebook, said, "I'm g I'm a billionaire, so I'm going to live to billionaire, so I'm going to live to billionaire, so I'm going to live to 145." If if the oligarchs are going to 145." If if the oligarchs are going to 145." If if the oligarchs are going to live to 145, one of the things they know live to 145, one of the things they know live to 145, one of the things they know is not everybody can do that or you're is not everybody can do that or you're is not everybody can do that or you're going to have an environmental problem. going to have an environmental problem. going to have an environmental problem. Right. Right. So, so, so part of it is Right. Right. So, so, so part of it is Right. Right. So, so, so part of it is that, but I also think with robotics and that, but I also think with robotics and that, but I also think with robotics and automation, automation, automation, they think they don't need a lot of they think they don't need a lot of they think they don't need a lot of people and a lot of people are hard to people and a lot of people are hard to people and a lot of people are hard to manage. Now they uh you know they if you manage. Now they uh you know they if you manage. Now they uh you know they if you look at what they're doing to build a look at what they're doing to build a look at what they're doing to build a control grid clearly they think if they control grid clearly they think if they control grid clearly they think if they can accomplish that uh it's going to can accomplish that uh it's going to can accomplish that uh it's going to make it much easier to manage a lot of make it much easier to manage a lot of make it much easier to manage a lot of people but frankly they don't people but frankly they don't people but frankly they don't necessarily want them around they don't necessarily want them around they don't necessarily want them around they don't need them and so uh I do believe that

need them and so uh I do believe that need them and so uh I do believe that that many of them feel they would be that many of them feel they would be that many of them feel they would be much better off with much lower much better off with much lower much better off with much lower populations. populations. populations. >> I think that's obviously true. May I ask >> I think that's obviously true. May I ask >> I think that's obviously true. May I ask though about what role a global war though about what role a global war though about what role a global war would play in that? So like on the one would play in that? So like on the one would play in that? So like on the one hand obviously war reduces population hand obviously war reduces population hand obviously war reduces population and if you wanted to clear the and if you wanted to clear the and if you wanted to clear the Ukrainians out of Ukraine leaving only Ukrainians out of Ukraine leaving only Ukrainians out of Ukraine leaving only the resources and Indian immigrants you the resources and Indian immigrants you the resources and Indian immigrants you would do what they did are doing. I get would do what they did are doing. I get would do what they did are doing. I get it. But once you start pushing up it. But once you start pushing up it. But once you start pushing up against the possibility of a nuclear against the possibility of a nuclear against the possibility of a nuclear exchange, a total war, a global war, exchange, a total war, a global war, exchange, a total war, a global war, then don't you, and which they are doing then don't you, and which they are doing then don't you, and which they are doing knowingly, and I don't know if it's knowingly, and I don't know if it's knowingly, and I don't know if it's reckless or intentional or what exactly reckless or intentional or what exactly reckless or intentional or what exactly it is, but they know that we're moving it is, but they know that we're moving it is, but they know that we're moving toward global war and they're not toward global war and they're not toward global war and they're not slowing down the Trump administration slowing down the Trump administration slowing down the Trump administration and all the people who support it, and all the people who support it, and all the people who support it, >> right? >> right? >> right? >> Don't you kind of risk your own plans by >> Don't you kind of risk your own plans by >> Don't you kind of risk your own plans by doing that? That seems very much like a doing that? That seems very much like a doing that? That seems very much like a dice roll. dice roll. dice roll. So there are a couple theories. I I So there are a couple theories. I I So there are a couple theories. I I think there's some people who, you know, think there's some people who, you know, think there's some people who, you know, do want to bring on Armageddon. That's a do want to bring on Armageddon. That's a do want to bring on Armageddon. That's a cultural and religious cultural and religious cultural and religious cross-section of some of some of the cross-section of some of some of the cross-section of some of some of the people involved. Um but the other thing people involved. Um but the other thing people involved. Um but the other thing is if if you've been responsible for the is if if you've been responsible for the is if if you've been responsible for the dollar system and you know how dollar system and you know how dollar system and you know how um a how dangerous an improper or or a um a how dangerous an improper or or a um a how dangerous an improper or or a difficult unraveling of the dollar difficult unraveling of the dollar difficult unraveling of the dollar system could be for most of the system could be for most of the system could be for most of the countries around the world. you know how countries around the world. you know how countries around the world. you know how an unraveling could could could kill and an unraveling could could could kill and an unraveling could could could kill and hurt and maim then you will go to

hurt and maim then you will go to hurt and maim then you will go to extreme lengths and kill many many extreme lengths and kill many many extreme lengths and kill many many people to avoid that um you know and people to avoid that um you know and people to avoid that um you know and part of it is if you're used to having part of it is if you're used to having part of it is if you're used to having power you do not want to convert to a power you do not want to convert to a power you do not want to convert to a meritocracy I mean the way to solve you meritocracy I mean the way to solve you meritocracy I mean the way to solve you know I told you I just told you the know I told you I just told you the know I told you I just told you the thing you just did on how to save thing you just did on how to save thing you just did on how to save America I think is one of the best America I think is one of the best America I think is one of the best things you've ever done and if In things you've ever done and if In things you've ever done and if In theory, we all woke up tomorrow and theory, we all woke up tomorrow and theory, we all woke up tomorrow and followed year 10 principles of, you followed year 10 principles of, you followed year 10 principles of, you know, in our own lives, in our own know, in our own lives, in our own know, in our own lives, in our own family, in our own community, we could family, in our own community, we could family, in our own community, we could see an unbelievably explosive wealth see an unbelievably explosive wealth see an unbelievably explosive wealth creation. I mean, one of the things I creation. I mean, one of the things I creation. I mean, one of the things I want to stress is tyranny is very, very want to stress is tyranny is very, very want to stress is tyranny is very, very wasteful. And the potential for wealth wasteful. And the potential for wealth wasteful. And the potential for wealth explosion if we could somehow, you know, explosion if we could somehow, you know, explosion if we could somehow, you know, behave like we were an advanced behave like we were an advanced behave like we were an advanced civilization is an extraordinary civilization is an extraordinary civilization is an extraordinary opportunity. But it's going to result in opportunity. But it's going to result in opportunity. But it's going to result in a meritocracy. And if you look at the a meritocracy. And if you look at the a meritocracy. And if you look at the people running things, they have no people running things, they have no people running things, they have no interest in competing in a meritocracy. interest in competing in a meritocracy. interest in competing in a meritocracy. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Because they're going to lose, right? >> Because they're going to lose, right? >> Because they're going to lose, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And and the nature of their situation >> And and the nature of their situation >> And and the nature of their situation is, you know, when people in their is, you know, when people in their is, you know, when people in their situation lose, they get killed and situation lose, they get killed and situation lose, they get killed and their families get killed.

their families get killed. their families get killed. >> So So you know, they they are at the >> So So you know, they they are at the >> So So you know, they they are at the point where they would do control. I point where they would do control. I point where they would do control. I remember one group telling me about the remember one group telling me about the remember one group telling me about the a group during the 80s when Iran Contra a group during the 80s when Iran Contra a group during the 80s when Iran Contra was really getting out of hand talking was really getting out of hand talking was really getting out of hand talking about they had started to make plans about they had started to make plans about they had started to make plans about dropping a suit, you know, about dropping a suit, you know, about dropping a suit, you know, exploding a suitcase nuke in the middle exploding a suitcase nuke in the middle exploding a suitcase nuke in the middle of Chicago, you know, just to distract. of Chicago, you know, just to distract. of Chicago, you know, just to distract. Remember, one of the goals of war is to Remember, one of the goals of war is to Remember, one of the goals of war is to control the domestic population. And we control the domestic population. And we control the domestic population. And we are now approaching a time where whether are now approaching a time where whether are now approaching a time where whether whether you get the you have a war, you whether you get the you have a war, you whether you get the you have a war, you get the control grid, controlling the get the control grid, controlling the get the control grid, controlling the domestic population is getting is going domestic population is getting is going domestic population is getting is going to be very difficult. >> So >> So won't won't that control grid make it won't won't that control grid make it won't won't that control grid make it easier? easier? easier? >> Yeah, if they can get it, >> Yeah, if they can get it, >> Yeah, if they can get it, >> if they can put it into place. So, I >> if they can put it into place. So, I >> if they can put it into place. So, I mean, let's look at what they're hoping mean, let's look at what they're hoping mean, let's look at what they're hoping to do. What they're hoping to do first to do. What they're hoping to do first to do. What they're hoping to do first of all is to use stable coins and of all is to use stable coins and of all is to use stable coins and digital tokens to bring four billion digital tokens to bring four billion digital tokens to bring four billion people around the world and and this is people around the world and and this is people around the world and and this is the retail market into the treasury the retail market into the treasury the retail market into the treasury market and into the US stock and bond market and into the US stock and bond market and into the US stock and bond market and and literally take the US market and and literally take the US market and and literally take the US market share for example in the stock market share for example in the stock market share for example in the stock market up from 70% to 90% of the global market up from 70% to 90% of the global market up from 70% to 90% of the global stock market. So they're hoping to stock market. So they're hoping to stock market. So they're hoping to essentially tender for all the citizens essentially tender for all the citizens essentially tender for all the citizens in the world and bring them into our in the world and bring them into our in the world and bring them into our financial system. Um you know that what

financial system. Um you know that what financial system. Um you know that what they've said is we're going to do 24/7 they've said is we're going to do 24/7 they've said is we're going to do 24/7 trading on the on the global stock trading on the on the global stock trading on the on the global stock markets using digital tokens and we're markets using digital tokens and we're markets using digital tokens and we're going to offer 20 times margin. You know going to offer 20 times margin. You know going to offer 20 times margin. You know everybody right now is really worried everybody right now is really worried everybody right now is really worried about we're in a bubble. If you look at about we're in a bubble. If you look at about we're in a bubble. If you look at the tools that are being amassed to the tools that are being amassed to the tools that are being amassed to bubble using crypto, I mean, arguably if bubble using crypto, I mean, arguably if bubble using crypto, I mean, arguably if they succeed, and I'm not saying that they succeed, and I'm not saying that they succeed, and I'm not saying that they will, but if they do, it'll be the they will, but if they do, it'll be the they will, but if they do, it'll be the biggest bubble I've ever seen. And I've biggest bubble I've ever seen. And I've biggest bubble I've ever seen. And I've lived through a lot of bubbles. So um lived through a lot of bubbles. So um lived through a lot of bubbles. So um you know you bring another four billion you know you bring another four billion you know you bring another four billion people into the US currency, the US bond people into the US currency, the US bond people into the US currency, the US bond market, the US stock market, market, the US stock market, market, the US stock market, you know, and and you do it with 24/7 you know, and and you do it with 24/7 you know, and and you do it with 24/7 trading with 20 times margin, it's going trading with 20 times margin, it's going trading with 20 times margin, it's going to be extraordinary because those are to be extraordinary because those are to be extraordinary because those are networks you can also pump out more debt networks you can also pump out more debt networks you can also pump out more debt on. on. on. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Right. So now what's interesting is the >> Right. So now what's interesting is the >> Right. So now what's interesting is the clarity act it appears is not going to clarity act it appears is not going to clarity act it appears is not going to pass this year which was one of the sort pass this year which was one of the sort pass this year which was one of the sort of legal infrastructures they wanted to of legal infrastructures they wanted to of legal infrastructures they wanted to do this. So I find the sort of the do this. So I find the sort of the do this. So I find the sort of the potential crash and burn this fall of potential crash and burn this fall of potential crash and burn this fall of the clarity act to be quite remarkable.

the clarity act to be quite remarkable. the clarity act to be quite remarkable. Okay. So so they think through these Okay. So so they think through these Okay. So so they think through these mechanisms they have tools that can mechanisms they have tools that can mechanisms they have tools that can consider this wave and this bubble going consider this wave and this bubble going consider this wave and this bubble going forward. Now, forward. Now, forward. Now, if you look at what they want to do, um if you look at what they want to do, um if you look at what they want to do, um what they want to do is put on your what they want to do is put on your what they want to do is put on your currency, your bank deposits, and your currency, your bank deposits, and your currency, your bank deposits, and your stocks and bonds, what I call a manual, stocks and bonds, what I call a manual, stocks and bonds, what I call a manual, um an automatic third lock, do you know um an automatic third lock, do you know um an automatic third lock, do you know what a third lock is? what a third lock is? what a third lock is? >> No. >> No. >> No. >> Okay, let me describe this. If you and I >> Okay, let me describe this. If you and I >> Okay, let me describe this. If you and I do a transaction and I want to buy a do a transaction and I want to buy a do a transaction and I want to buy a Tucker Carlson hat and you want to sell Tucker Carlson hat and you want to sell Tucker Carlson hat and you want to sell it to me, I give you cash, I get the it to me, I give you cash, I get the it to me, I give you cash, I get the hat. That's a two lock transaction. You hat. That's a two lock transaction. You hat. That's a two lock transaction. You have a lock. I have a lock. If one of us have a lock. I have a lock. If one of us have a lock. I have a lock. If one of us says no, it can't happen. Okay. says no, it can't happen. Okay. says no, it can't happen. Okay. Let's say we have money in the bank and Let's say we have money in the bank and Let's say we have money in the bank and I want to buy the hat. I'm going to I want to buy the hat. I'm going to I want to buy the hat. I'm going to transfer money. I'll do an a to you for transfer money. I'll do an a to you for transfer money. I'll do an a to you for the cost of the hat. The bank has rules the cost of the hat. The bank has rules the cost of the hat. The bank has rules from the Treasury Department. It has from the Treasury Department. It has from the Treasury Department. It has sanctions. It has to know your customer sanctions. It has to know your customer sanctions. It has to know your customer rules. It has other regulations. And it rules. It has other regulations. And it rules. It has other regulations. And it has the ability to intercede and stop has the ability to intercede and stop has the ability to intercede and stop the transaction for those reasons. Okay?

the transaction for those reasons. Okay? the transaction for those reasons. Okay? and and that's a sort of what I call a and and that's a sort of what I call a and and that's a sort of what I call a manual third lock. So they the bank gets manual third lock. So they the bank gets manual third lock. So they the bank gets a third lock implementing the government a third lock implementing the government a third lock implementing the government regulations. Um and so if you look at regulations. Um and so if you look at regulations. Um and so if you look at what happened to the truckers in Canada, what happened to the truckers in Canada, what happened to the truckers in Canada, they had all not all but most of the they had all not all but most of the they had all not all but most of the banks exercise that manual third lock banks exercise that manual third lock banks exercise that manual third lock under the direction of the government. under the direction of the government. under the direction of the government. What the government wants to do and and What the government wants to do and and What the government wants to do and and what the Treasury and the central banks what the Treasury and the central banks what the Treasury and the central banks want is they want an automatic third want is they want an automatic third want is they want an automatic third lock. So you don't have to go through lock. So you don't have to go through lock. So you don't have to go through the bank and not only can you apply the bank and not only can you apply the bank and not only can you apply sanctions and know your customer and sanctions and know your customer and sanctions and know your customer and money laundering laws, you can apply a money laundering laws, you can apply a money laundering laws, you can apply a full-blown social credit system, right? full-blown social credit system, right? full-blown social credit system, right? So I can make up a hugely complex rule So I can make up a hugely complex rule So I can make up a hugely complex rule system for Tucker and his kids and his system for Tucker and his kids and his system for Tucker and his kids and his grandkids. I can I can customize it for grandkids. I can I can customize it for grandkids. I can I can customize it for each one of you and I can give you each one of you and I can give you each one of you and I can give you incentives and I can give you rules and incentives and I can give you rules and incentives and I can give you rules and unless you do exactly what I say, I can unless you do exactly what I say, I can unless you do exactly what I say, I can turn off your money or I can apply turn off your money or I can apply turn off your money or I can apply negative interest rates to your money or negative interest rates to your money or negative interest rates to your money or positive interest rates, I can raise positive interest rates, I can raise positive interest rates, I can raise your taxes without anybody having any your taxes without anybody having any your taxes without anybody having any say about it. So, let me give you an say about it. So, let me give you an say about it. So, let me give you an example. Go back to the pandemic. If I example. Go back to the pandemic. If I example. Go back to the pandemic. If I say you're locked down and you and your say you're locked down and you and your say you're locked down and you and your family can't leave your house, your family can't leave your house, your family can't leave your house, your money won't work outside your house. If money won't work outside your house. If money won't work outside your house. If I have an all digital system with an I have an all digital system with an I have an all digital system with an automatic third lock and let's say I automatic third lock and let's say I automatic third lock and let's say I freeze your bank account, you can't go freeze your bank account, you can't go freeze your bank account, you can't go to your bank and talk to them. It's to your bank and talk to them. It's to your bank and talk to them. It's above their head. They won't be

above their head. They won't be above their head. They won't be implementing it. Okay, that gives them implementing it. Okay, that gives them implementing it. Okay, that gives them that's what the data centers are for. that's what the data centers are for. that's what the data centers are for. That's what the AI is for, at least in That's what the AI is for, at least in That's what the AI is for, at least in North America. You know, the goal of North America. You know, the goal of North America. You know, the goal of that because if you if you look at that because if you if you look at that because if you if you look at spatial control, it involves uh spatial control, it involves uh spatial control, it involves uh tremendous data because of the videos tremendous data because of the videos tremendous data because of the videos and the cameras and you've got lots of and the cameras and you've got lots of and the cameras and you've got lots of video footage. But then you can imagine video footage. But then you can imagine video footage. But then you can imagine financial transactions all over the financial transactions all over the financial transactions all over the world. If they're going to bring four world. If they're going to bring four world. If they're going to bring four billion customers from around the world billion customers from around the world billion customers from around the world into the dollar markets or the the our into the dollar markets or the the our into the dollar markets or the the our stock market, that's a huge amount of stock market, that's a huge amount of stock market, that's a huge amount of data for spatial and financial control. data for spatial and financial control. data for spatial and financial control. And and but with AI, what is AI great And and but with AI, what is AI great And and but with AI, what is AI great at? AI is fabulous at processing at? AI is fabulous at processing at? AI is fabulous at processing enormous amounts of mathematical enormous amounts of mathematical enormous amounts of mathematical information which is most of the information which is most of the information which is most of the information the data we're talking about information the data we're talking about information the data we're talking about and so if they can put a manual third and so if they can put a manual third and so if they can put a manual third lock in a social credit system for every lock in a social credit system for every lock in a social credit system for every individual and and and essentially individual and and and essentially individual and and and essentially automate the whole process with AI then automate the whole process with AI then automate the whole process with AI then then they have the ability in fact to then they have the ability in fact to then they have the ability in fact to control many many people now here's the control many many people now here's the control many many people now here's the question why would four billion people question why would four billion people question why would four billion people want to come into that system. It's very want to come into that system. It's very want to come into that system. It's very interesting. The Secretary of the interesting. The Secretary of the interesting. The Secretary of the Treasury during the was I think about a Treasury during the was I think about a Treasury during the was I think about a month or two ago said uh you know they month or two ago said uh you know they month or two ago said uh you know they had seized a billion dollar of Iranian had seized a billion dollar of Iranian had seized a billion dollar of Iranian wallets and he was bragging about how wallets and he was bragging about how wallets and he was bragging about how easy it was to do it. And I thought well easy it was to do it. And I thought well easy it was to do it. And I thought well you know I'm not sure if you're going to you know I'm not sure if you're going to you know I'm not sure if you're going to go out and try and persuade four billion go out and try and persuade four billion go out and try and persuade four billion people to come into our markets that you people to come into our markets that you people to come into our markets that you really want to

really want to really want to have them realize that we can seize have them realize that we can seize have them realize that we can seize their wallets with that kind of speed their wallets with that kind of speed their wallets with that kind of speed and ease. [laughter] and ease. [laughter] and ease. [laughter] No, that would be a disincentive to No, that would be a disincentive to No, that would be a disincentive to participation. There's no doubt about participation. There's no doubt about participation. There's no doubt about it. it. it. >> I think so. >> I think so. >> I think so. >> May I ask you just since we're we're on >> May I ask you just since we're we're on >> May I ask you just since we're we're on markets and I I don't want to get markets and I I don't want to get markets and I I don't want to get sidetracked, but I think you might be sidetracked, but I think you might be sidetracked, but I think you might be able to answer this. I'm baffled by the able to answer this. I'm baffled by the able to answer this. I'm baffled by the behavior of various commodities markets. behavior of various commodities markets. behavior of various commodities markets. >> Since this war began, they've moved in >> Since this war began, they've moved in >> Since this war began, they've moved in the opposite direction from what you the opposite direction from what you the opposite direction from what you would expect if supply and demand was would expect if supply and demand was would expect if supply and demand was real. So, let's just start with oil real. So, let's just start with oil real. So, let's just start with oil prices. Brent crude use that as a prices. Brent crude use that as a prices. Brent crude use that as a measure. measure. measure. they've not gone straight up and they've they've not gone straight up and they've they've not gone straight up and they've kind of gone up and down but not very up kind of gone up and down but not very up kind of gone up and down but not very up in some cases down in some cases down in some cases down >> and I think we can say part of that is >> and I think we can say part of that is >> and I think we can say part of that is because China decided to stop its energy because China decided to stop its energy because China decided to stop its energy imports which is bizarre behavior and imports which is bizarre behavior and imports which is bizarre behavior and then gold then gold then gold >> has also I mean since this spring has >> has also I mean since this spring has >> has also I mean since this spring has dropped $1,000 an ounce at exactly the dropped $1,000 an ounce at exactly the dropped $1,000 an ounce at exactly the moment when the US dollar is clearly moment when the US dollar is clearly moment when the US dollar is clearly headed to a much weaker position. So headed to a much weaker position. So headed to a much weaker position. So that doesn't make any sense at all. Is that doesn't make any sense at all. Is that doesn't make any sense at all. Is it possible?

it possible? it possible? >> No, that makes a that makes a lot. >> No, that makes a that makes a lot. >> No, that makes a that makes a lot. >> It does. Tell me how. >> It does. Tell me how. >> It does. Tell me how. >> So yeah. So let's look at oil first. So >> So yeah. So let's look at oil first. So >> So yeah. So let's look at oil first. So the Chinese have done a remarkable job the Chinese have done a remarkable job the Chinese have done a remarkable job of just cutting their imports in half. of just cutting their imports in half. of just cutting their imports in half. And um to me there's not a lot of And um to me there's not a lot of And um to me there's not a lot of reliable information about we know reliable information about we know reliable information about we know they've built a lot of nuclear capacity they've built a lot of nuclear capacity they've built a lot of nuclear capacity and renewable uh capacity. They say the and renewable uh capacity. They say the and renewable uh capacity. They say the last time I looked they say they're not last time I looked they say they're not last time I looked they say they're not using their oil reserves which are using their oil reserves which are using their oil reserves which are significant is my understanding. But um significant is my understanding. But um significant is my understanding. But um you know it's hard to believe they you know it's hard to believe they you know it's hard to believe they haven't. The Japanese had a fair amount haven't. The Japanese had a fair amount haven't. The Japanese had a fair amount of oil reserves. They've run down their of oil reserves. They've run down their of oil reserves. They've run down their reserves. My understanding is our reserves. My understanding is our reserves. My understanding is our reserves are now below the amount, you reserves are now below the amount, you reserves are now below the amount, you know, that threatens the whole know, that threatens the whole know, that threatens the whole infrastructure of the of the strategic infrastructure of the of the strategic infrastructure of the of the strategic reserve which is frightening, but we've reserve which is frightening, but we've reserve which is frightening, but we've run our reserves down tremendously. So, run our reserves down tremendously. So, run our reserves down tremendously. So, so part of what's been happening in the so part of what's been happening in the so part of what's been happening in the oil market is I suspect that the the oil market is I suspect that the the oil market is I suspect that the the shorting and the and the things they do shorting and the and the things they do shorting and the and the things they do to manage the price have managed the to manage the price have managed the to manage the price have managed the price down, but that's combined with price down, but that's combined with price down, but that's combined with enormous enormous enormous relief of pressure on the market because relief of pressure on the market because relief of pressure on the market because of what the Chinese did and because of of what the Chinese did and because of of what the Chinese did and because of ours and the Japanese strategic reserve.

ours and the Japanese strategic reserve. ours and the Japanese strategic reserve. Now, um, but if you look at the US Now, um, but if you look at the US Now, um, but if you look at the US strategy, the US strategy is designed to strategy, the US strategy is designed to strategy, the US strategy is designed to replace the petro dollar with what some replace the petro dollar with what some replace the petro dollar with what some people call the pro gas dollar. And people call the pro gas dollar. And people call the pro gas dollar. And between bottlenecking the trade routes between bottlenecking the trade routes between bottlenecking the trade routes and and sabotaging energy capacity all and and sabotaging energy capacity all and and sabotaging energy capacity all over the world, they're trying to build over the world, they're trying to build over the world, they're trying to build a much bigger market share for US LG. a much bigger market share for US LG. a much bigger market share for US LG. Remember, we're a net exporter now. And Remember, we're a net exporter now. And Remember, we're a net exporter now. And if you look at how much LG for example if you look at how much LG for example if you look at how much LG for example we're selling into Asia, you know, our we're selling into Asia, you know, our we're selling into Asia, you know, our our oil and gas industry is making a lot our oil and gas industry is making a lot our oil and gas industry is making a lot of money. Now the question is now that of money. Now the question is now that of money. Now the question is now that the war is continuing and we don't have the war is continuing and we don't have the war is continuing and we don't have the Japanese and US reserves to run down the Japanese and US reserves to run down the Japanese and US reserves to run down a lot, there's a real expectation that a lot, there's a real expectation that a lot, there's a real expectation that the price could continue to go higher. the price could continue to go higher. the price could continue to go higher. Now, here's the other thing, Tucker. Now, here's the other thing, Tucker. Now, here's the other thing, Tucker. when you shut down when you do what's when you shut down when you do what's when you shut down when you do what's been done to the global economy since um been done to the global economy since um been done to the global economy since um since February you create a lot of since February you create a lot of since February you create a lot of inflation uh deflation because you you inflation uh deflation because you you inflation uh deflation because you you know you are shutting down I call this know you are shutting down I call this know you are shutting down I call this CO 2.0 No, you're wiping out a lot of CO 2.0 No, you're wiping out a lot of CO 2.0 No, you're wiping out a lot of little guys and again it consolidates little guys and again it consolidates little guys and again it consolidates into the big guys. But but this is very into the big guys. But but this is very into the big guys. But but this is very depressing for the global economy, depressing for the global economy, depressing for the global economy, right? And that's deflationary. Now, let right? And that's deflationary. Now, let right? And that's deflationary. Now, let me let me talk about gold.

me let me talk about gold. me let me talk about gold. You know, ever since I started covering You know, ever since I started covering You know, ever since I started covering gold in say 2000 and on, whenever gold in say 2000 and on, whenever gold in say 2000 and on, whenever there's a war kind of situation, you see there's a war kind of situation, you see there's a war kind of situation, you see gold drop. It's very typical. And one of gold drop. It's very typical. And one of gold drop. It's very typical. And one of the reasons is people get short and they the reasons is people get short and they the reasons is people get short and they have to sell their gold. But the other have to sell their gold. But the other have to sell their gold. But the other is people want liquidity. So they, you is people want liquidity. So they, you is people want liquidity. So they, you know, they go into treasuries, they go know, they go into treasuries, they go know, they go into treasuries, they go into the short-term bond market even if into the short-term bond market even if into the short-term bond market even if the dollar's weak. So So they're looking the dollar's weak. So So they're looking the dollar's weak. So So they're looking to go to cash, so to speak, and and and to go to cash, so to speak, and and and to go to cash, so to speak, and and and you'll see them leave gold. So it you'll see them leave gold. So it you'll see them leave gold. So it doesn't surprise me that probably a lot doesn't surprise me that probably a lot doesn't surprise me that probably a lot of people in the Gulf area and globally of people in the Gulf area and globally of people in the Gulf area and globally needed to sell gold. But gold's in a needed to sell gold. But gold's in a needed to sell gold. But gold's in a long-term bull market and this is just, long-term bull market and this is just, long-term bull market and this is just, you know, this is the normal volatility you know, this is the normal volatility you know, this is the normal volatility of gold in these kinds of situations. of gold in these kinds of situations. of gold in these kinds of situations. >> May I ask why would China slash its oil >> May I ask why would China slash its oil >> May I ask why would China slash its oil imports and and import as much gold as imports and and import as much gold as imports and and import as much gold as it has, which is a lot. Why is China it has, which is a lot. Why is China it has, which is a lot. Why is China importing gold and not? [clears throat] importing gold and not? [clears throat] importing gold and not? [clears throat] >> Excellent question. And I don't I don't >> Excellent question. And I don't I don't >> Excellent question. And I don't I don't know why. Um I suspect they think they know why. Um I suspect they think they know why. Um I suspect they think they have have have um they have the nuclear and renewable um they have the nuclear and renewable um they have the nuclear and renewable and other capacity to do that for some and other capacity to do that for some and other capacity to do that for some period of time. Um I mean clearly period of time. Um I mean clearly period of time. Um I mean clearly Venezuela you know cut them and clearly Venezuela you know cut them and clearly Venezuela you know cut them and clearly the situation has cut them. Um but I the situation has cut them. Um but I the situation has cut them. Um but I think that's a big question mark and one think that's a big question mark and one think that's a big question mark and one of the question one of the reasons might of the question one of the reasons might of the question one of the reasons might be you know they understood that it was be you know they understood that it was be you know they understood that it was very important to to you know let that very important to to you know let that very important to to you know let that stealth they're helping the global

I mean, you could easily see $7 a >> Yeah. I mean, you could easily see $7 a >> Yeah. I mean, you could easily see $7 a gallon gasoline in the US. gallon gasoline in the US. gallon gasoline in the US. And but it I guess what I'm saying is it And but it I guess what I'm saying is it And but it I guess what I'm saying is it seems like the Chinese government has seems like the Chinese government has seems like the Chinese government has done the Trump administration a huge done the Trump administration a huge done the Trump administration a huge favor by favor by favor by >> keeping things kind of status quo when >> keeping things kind of status quo when >> keeping things kind of status quo when they wouldn't normally be. they wouldn't normally be. they wouldn't normally be. >> Yes, that is that is absolutely correct. >> Yes, that is that is absolutely correct. >> Yes, that is that is absolutely correct. And if you look at the um if you look at And if you look at the um if you look at And if you look at the um if you look at who's purchasing what in Asia who's purchasing what in Asia who's purchasing what in Asia um the US is clearly making a lot of um the US is clearly making a lot of um the US is clearly making a lot of money exporting LG to Asia. money exporting LG to Asia. money exporting LG to Asia. So So So >> so you know this is I mean this has been >> so you know this is I mean this has been >> so you know this is I mean this has been very very good for the US oil and gas very very good for the US oil and gas very very good for the US oil and gas industry. industry. industry. >> So my last question has to do with >> So my last question has to do with >> So my last question has to do with attitudes and I'm confused by this and attitudes and I'm confused by this and attitudes and I'm confused by this and you may have an answer. So, consumer you may have an answer. So, consumer you may have an answer. So, consumer prices have risen. Inflation is real.

prices have risen. Inflation is real. prices have risen. Inflation is real. It's the product of long-term changes, It's the product of long-term changes, It's the product of long-term changes, the ones you just described, but it's the ones you just described, but it's the ones you just described, but it's also the product of this war of choice also the product of this war of choice also the product of this war of choice begun at the end of February. That's all begun at the end of February. That's all begun at the end of February. That's all it's obvious. Anybody can understand it it's obvious. Anybody can understand it it's obvious. Anybody can understand it without an economics degree. without an economics degree. without an economics degree. Prices of food have gone up. That's Prices of food have gone up. That's Prices of food have gone up. That's detectable to everybody because detectable to everybody because detectable to everybody because everybody eats. Somebody notes this the everybody eats. Somebody notes this the everybody eats. Somebody notes this the other day and says, "Gee whiz, you know, other day and says, "Gee whiz, you know, other day and says, "Gee whiz, you know, $20 burritos are a lot." And immediately $20 burritos are a lot." And immediately $20 burritos are a lot." And immediately the same people, many of them who the same people, many of them who the same people, many of them who advocated for this war of choice attack advocated for this war of choice attack advocated for this war of choice attack anyone who complains about rising food anyone who complains about rising food anyone who complains about rising food prices. And what I see there is like prices. And what I see there is like prices. And what I see there is like pure contempt if not hatred for ordinary pure contempt if not hatred for ordinary pure contempt if not hatred for ordinary people. Like what else could explain people. Like what else could explain people. Like what else could explain that kind of response? But I also see a that kind of response? But I also see a that kind of response?

we let go of hoping that there's some we let go of hoping that there's some way we can go into that machinery and way we can go into that machinery and way we can go into that machinery and turn it around, it's not going to work. turn it around, it's not going to work. turn it around, it's not going to work. So, we need to leave. We need to get So, we need to leave. We need to get So, we need to leave. We need to get away from the diseased animal and go do away from the diseased animal and go do away from the diseased animal and go do things that can work. And if enough of things that can work. And if enough of things that can work. And if enough of us do that, what is possible is us do that, what is possible is us do that, what is possible is absolutely fantastic. The little secret absolutely fantastic. The little secret absolutely fantastic. The little secret here is if you look at that machinery, here is if you look at that machinery, here is if you look at that machinery, it is so destructive of wealth at the it is so destructive of wealth at the it is so destructive of wealth at the state and local level that if we could state and local level that if we could state and local level that if we could begin to reverse it, even 5% or 10%, you begin to reverse it, even 5% or 10%, you begin to reverse it, even 5% or 10%, you don't need everybody. don't need everybody. don't need everybody. The possibilities are enormous, The possibilities are enormous, The possibilities are enormous, particularly with the blessing of new particularly with the blessing of new particularly with the blessing of new technology.
