[00:30.000 --> 00:45.180]  telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the David Knight show as a clock
[00:45.180 --> 00:51.240]  strikes 13 it's thirsty the 12th of March you're our Lord 2026 well today
[00:51.240 --> 00:59.040]  we're going to talk take a look at the astounding vanity and stupidity of a
[00:59.040 --> 01:06.200]  Trump regime yeah Trump family values and now it extends to the to the cabinet
[01:06.200 --> 01:11.760]  that he has there the sycophancy the boasting the vanity I'm gonna ban all
[01:11.760 --> 01:16.080]  photographers because I don't like the way you made me look this is what these
[01:16.080 --> 01:22.720]  guys are concerned with as the world is suffering from constipation at the
[01:22.920 --> 01:30.640]  of Hormuz we have entire world trade is being cut off by these lunatics who
[01:30.640 --> 01:34.600]  didn't have a clue the gang who could not shoot straight Tony's gonna be
[01:34.600 --> 01:39.440]  joining us today we're gonna talk about what's going on with gold as well as
[01:39.440 --> 01:45.560]  what it looks like for the dollar it appears that the Iranians have a plan to
[01:45.560 --> 01:50.880]  last a long time but they don't really need to last any longer than the US bond
[01:50.880 --> 01:56.320]  market can last and that's looking like that's not going to go well we'll be
[01:56.320 --> 01:58.760]  right back
[02:10.000 --> 02:15.920]  well let's take a look at the news first before we get into Iran we've got James
[02:15.960 --> 02:20.800]  Comer saying that the Trump Department of Justice asked the New Mexico officials
[02:20.800 --> 02:25.240]  to end the Jeffrey Epstein investigation as I reported the other day they shut it
[02:25.240 --> 02:30.640]  down at the Zorro ranch and that happened during the Trump administration
[02:30.640 --> 02:36.460]  right after Jeffrey Epstein was either killed or escaped they shut down the
[02:36.460 --> 02:40.520]  investigation state investigations that will handle it from here and now as the
[02:40.720 --> 02:47.360]  state of New Mexico sees some of the statements in these partially released
[02:47.360 --> 02:51.640]  documents about Epstein they want to have an investigation state
[02:51.640 --> 02:58.400]  investigation so now the FBI is oh we'll help you with that be careful keep your
[02:58.400 --> 03:03.600]  eyes on these FBI guys they may be stuffing papers into their pants like
[03:03.600 --> 03:08.240]  Sandy burglar remember that guy the guy who was there with the Clintons and he
[03:08.240 --> 03:12.920]  goes to the National Archives and they've set up special rules just because
[03:12.920 --> 03:18.560]  of what Sandy burger did we called him Sandy burglar he was left alone with a
[03:18.560 --> 03:25.080]  lot of these papers that were supposed to not leave the place and he stuffed a
[03:25.080 --> 03:28.960]  bunch of them in his pants and they caught him outside he's destroying these
[03:28.960 --> 03:34.840]  documents yeah watch out for your FBI partners in this investigation of the
[03:34.840 --> 03:38.680]  Epstein ranch and the guy who was talking about this of course is the
[03:38.680 --> 03:45.400]  Republican who was running the Epstein probe that is happening there I guess you
[03:45.400 --> 03:50.080]  put that in air quotes a probe the federal government asked in Mexico
[03:50.080 --> 03:55.120]  stop their investigation said Comer I believe back in 2019 of that ranch so
[03:55.120 --> 03:59.760]  many questions about how the government failed he said I mean this whole thing
[03:59.760 --> 04:06.800]  doesn't make sense says James Comer head of the House Oversight Committee he
[04:06.800 --> 04:10.680]  said everyone has conspiracy theories on how Epstein was able to get away with it
[04:10.680 --> 04:15.960]  was it because he had powerful friends was it because he was an agent we don't
[04:15.960 --> 04:20.840]  know but we're gonna find out I'm glad they're on the ground now in New Mexico
[04:20.840 --> 04:27.800]  searching the property again watch out for the FBI meanwhile we look at what is
[04:27.840 --> 04:34.440]  happening with the Iran war Iran is getting more defiant in the face of the
[04:34.440 --> 04:38.200]  US is really onslaught there's very different pictures that are emerging
[04:38.200 --> 04:43.600]  here and you know how do you tell what is true we have not only the fog of war
[04:43.600 --> 04:48.440]  but we have the censorship of Israel and we have the lies of the Trump
[04:48.440 --> 04:52.720]  administration they don't even try to make it plausible I got to give it to
[04:52.720 --> 04:57.720]  Satan yahoo at least BB will make things look plausible unless he's talking
[04:57.720 --> 05:03.520]  about Iran's nuclear war stuff he puts up his his Warner Brothers ACME bomb
[05:03.520 --> 05:08.280]  picture it's that they're a week away and he's done that for 30 some odd years
[05:08.280 --> 05:14.280]  but he does it in a very convincing manner not so much with Trump this stuff
[05:14.280 --> 05:20.360]  is prima facie absurd but an Iran the foreign minister has further said that a
[05:20.360 --> 05:27.200]  unilateral declaration from Trump that the US had won the war and would soon be
[05:27.200 --> 05:30.800]  over because they don't have anything left to bomb he said well that's not
[05:30.800 --> 05:34.720]  going to end the conflict the implication is that even if the US
[05:34.720 --> 05:39.000]  announced a willingness to end its attacks Iran might be willing to
[05:39.000 --> 05:45.000]  continue the conflict in some form what form would that take choking off trade
[05:45.000 --> 05:51.320]  at the Strait of Hormuz and it's not simple enough to put a bunch of boots on
[05:51.320 --> 05:54.440]  the ground and protect the Strait of Hormuz or something like that turn it
[05:54.480 --> 06:00.920]  into a Gibraltar type of occupation not that that won't even do it because all
[06:00.920 --> 06:06.800]  of these production facilities for liquid natural gas they the oil
[06:06.800 --> 06:13.240]  refineries the oil fields themselves the ports those are all vulnerable targets
[06:13.240 --> 06:17.440]  and you can shut those things down as well you can shut down the source of the
[06:17.440 --> 06:23.700]  oil not just the transit of the oil and so they said they're gonna keep their
[06:23.700 --> 06:28.460]  chokehold on shipping seeking to navigate the Strait of Hormuz Ron
[06:28.460 --> 06:31.940]  believes that there can be no end of this conflict until it believes that
[06:31.940 --> 06:37.380]  Trump has been shown the economic political and military cost is so high
[06:37.380 --> 06:42.700]  that it will not be worth repeating it it is instead insisting on a permanent
[06:42.700 --> 06:49.180]  deal that includes a US commitment not to attack Iran again can you trust Trump
[06:49.220 --> 06:55.700]  after the treachery that he has shown in these negotiations the key issue is that
[06:55.700 --> 07:01.820]  they're going to do this folks for the long term until people feel enough pain
[07:01.820 --> 07:06.660]  all you hear all the stuff you know no pain no gain right all the time the
[07:06.660 --> 07:12.420]  soundbite that we have of that and which is not firing today anyway the short
[07:12.420 --> 07:18.460]  term pain for long-term gain well they want a short-term war for long-term
[07:18.460 --> 07:24.140]  gain that's what they really want they're not gonna get that instead the
[07:24.140 --> 07:29.020]  way you hold Trump's feet to the fire there's not by getting an assurance from
[07:29.020 --> 07:34.620]  him or his signature on a piece of paper he has sworn to uphold the Constitution
[07:34.620 --> 07:40.740]  how's that working out for us reminds me of a Russell Means book where white men
[07:40.740 --> 07:45.100]  fear to tread and he said as an Indian he said the US government has broken
[07:45.100 --> 07:49.500]  every treaty they ever made with us he said the tree they made with you white
[07:49.500 --> 07:54.180]  man is the Constitution and they've broken every aspect as well so what
[07:54.180 --> 07:57.660]  would make the Iranians think that Trump's signature would be worth anything
[07:57.660 --> 08:02.060]  on a piece of paper or his verbal assurance is even less you know the
[08:02.060 --> 08:07.380]  reality is is that they've got to make this as painful for the people of the
[08:07.380 --> 08:13.980]  West that they won't elect leaders like Trump again he has to destroy Trump
[08:14.020 --> 08:19.380]  politically that that would be a good thing I think for us if he destroys
[08:19.380 --> 08:23.660]  Trump politically it's gonna be very painful but that would be the outcome it
[08:23.660 --> 08:27.900]  is a ceasefire to be established or is the worst stop there must be a guarantee
[08:27.900 --> 08:32.820]  that aggressive actions against Iran will not be repeated otherwise if
[08:32.820 --> 08:37.700]  another attack occurs in a few months a ceasefire is meaningless you know they've
[08:37.700 --> 08:42.180]  very seen this you know they had the bomb strikes and so we took out all their
[08:42.180 --> 08:46.740]  nuclear facilities we're done and then just in a few months you get this even
[08:46.740 --> 08:51.700]  bigger attack the defiance is remarkable for a regime that at the start of the
[08:51.700 --> 08:58.420]  war 11 days ago was seeking little more than its own survival but the overall
[08:58.420 --> 09:04.220]  mood among Iranian regime figures is this going to be it needs to survive
[09:04.220 --> 09:10.020]  there in the next central war and should not at this stage seek any agreement
[09:10.060 --> 09:14.260]  it's not really surprising when you stop and think about it the civilian
[09:14.260 --> 09:20.660]  populations but especially the regime as well once they are attacked in an act of
[09:20.660 --> 09:26.860]  aggression and once you start doing civilian bombings that hardens people's
[09:26.860 --> 09:33.060]  attitude and even if they don't win they're going to die trying they are a
[09:33.060 --> 09:37.580]  lot more committed to this than anybody in the Trump administration the UN
[09:37.580 --> 09:42.780]  Security Council on Wednesday yesterday more than 80 nations would sponsor a
[09:42.780 --> 09:48.140]  Bahrain sponsored resolution condemning Iran for its attacks on the Gulf states
[09:48.140 --> 09:56.940]  but voicing no criticism of the US or Israel think about that we were the
[09:56.940 --> 10:02.060]  aggressors but we get no criticism whatsoever and there is no statement
[10:02.260 --> 10:08.740]  about the bombing of civilians and young girls we are absolutely not seeking a
[10:08.740 --> 10:12.780]  ceasefire for the speaker of the parliament let the enemy know that
[10:12.780 --> 10:16.900]  whatever they do there will certainly be proportionate whatever we do will be
[10:16.900 --> 10:22.380]  proportionate and immediate retaliation and so they said at the beginning of the
[10:22.380 --> 10:27.540]  war we announced and we announced again no vessel associated with aggressors
[10:27.540 --> 10:32.580]  against Iran has the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz if you have
[10:32.580 --> 10:37.620]  doubts come closer and find out it's also said it will allow ships through
[10:37.620 --> 10:44.180]  countries that expel their US and Israeli ambassadors and we had two US
[10:44.180 --> 10:47.540]  tankers hit yesterday I think both at least one of them was US I don't know
[10:47.540 --> 10:52.660]  how they were flagged but this is pictures of the when you hit an oil
[10:53.140 --> 10:59.220]  you get spectacular fires just like when you hit an oil refinery and so that is
[10:59.220 --> 11:06.380]  that that was not in the straight as a matter of fact that was close to Iraq so
[11:06.380 --> 11:14.940]  Iran is planning an attack on California warns the FBI so they're planning we've
[11:14.940 --> 11:19.660]  got a drone attack we're told and I put a drone attack on some tankers and
[11:19.660 --> 11:27.300]  unleash drones on California do you believe that I think there will be a
[11:27.300 --> 11:32.820]  false flying attack somewhere by our government and the same people that told
[11:32.820 --> 11:36.940]  us that men in caves were flying planes in the buildings and they just fell down
[11:36.940 --> 11:43.100]  right away right you're gonna trust the people that did everything they could to
[11:43.700 --> 11:50.300]  the JFK assassination 9-eleven that gave us the lies about weapons of mass
[11:50.300 --> 11:57.300]  destruction in Iraq are you gonna trust those people now they have found a as
[11:57.300 --> 12:01.820]  they put out a memo saying we we know they're gonna you know they got like a
[12:01.820 --> 12:05.740]  tanker aircraft carrier for drones that they're gonna release these things on
[12:05.740 --> 12:10.180]  quite frankly I'm very I think we all be ought to be very concerned about what
[12:10.180 --> 12:16.620]  our own government will do that's the reality it's not known how Iran could
[12:16.620 --> 12:21.660]  carry out such an attack pretty far from home as a matter of fact as I was
[12:21.660 --> 12:28.860]  watching some of the interviews and in one interview yeah I think it was CBS or
[12:28.860 --> 12:33.700]  something was asking this Iranian official over and over again so are you
[12:33.700 --> 12:37.540]  planning on attacking the u.s. and he says we need to go there we've got
[12:37.540 --> 12:41.220]  plenty of u.s. targets right here as a matter of fact you know the old meme
[12:41.220 --> 12:44.820]  where they said look at those Iranians look at how aggressive they are they put
[12:44.820 --> 12:52.100]  their country right in the middle of all of our military bases they got many ways
[12:52.100 --> 12:55.300]  that they could do this and quite frankly if they wanted to do an attack
[12:55.300 --> 12:59.860]  putting a ship out there with drones would not be the way to do it I come
[12:59.860 --> 13:05.040]  across the border and attacking infrastructure or oil refineries or
[13:05.040 --> 13:08.880]  something like that that would be more like a pattern of behavior that they
[13:08.880 --> 13:12.440]  would really do if they come after something for a lot of civilian
[13:12.440 --> 13:16.680]  casualties I would guess my first instinct would be it's our own
[13:16.680 --> 13:21.840]  government trying to build support for war that they have they've gone to war
[13:21.840 --> 13:27.280]  this is even after we've become the Empire that's policing the world we've
[13:27.280 --> 13:32.680]  never had a situation where there was so little support for war when it started
[13:33.160 --> 13:39.920]  and it hasn't gone that well despite all the bravado and lies so Trump says we
[13:39.920 --> 13:45.200]  won but we don't want to leave early he said yesterday said we won the Iran war
[13:45.200 --> 13:50.400]  but said the United States will stay with the fight to finish the job yeah
[13:50.400 --> 13:55.160]  right he's like trying to lay some expectations to get out of there he said
[13:55.160 --> 14:00.640]  you never like to say too early that you won well we won and the first hour it
[14:00.680 --> 14:04.960]  was over that's right mission accomplished just like George W Bush on
[14:04.960 --> 14:09.320]  the aircraft carrier in Iraq right claiming that 58 ships have been knocked
[14:09.320 --> 14:15.840]  out during the operation well put that in context tell us how many mind-laying
[14:15.840 --> 14:22.560]  ships they have you know and how many many naval ships and is the Navy really
[14:22.560 --> 14:27.400]  an important part of the strategy I don't think so it's widely reported and I
[14:27.400 --> 14:33.160]  talked about it yesterday the fact that after they saw Saddam Hussein's military
[14:33.160 --> 14:38.200]  just crumble with the onslaught of the US military attacking them they thought
[14:38.200 --> 14:42.680]  you know we were pretty had pretty much parity with them right they had a very
[14:42.680 --> 14:48.400]  long war between Iran and Iraq initially it was going in Iran's favor but then
[14:48.400 --> 14:55.160]  the US helped Saddam Hussein because they hated Iran even more and so they
[14:55.160 --> 14:57.760]  publicly then said well we're gonna have to have a different strategy their
[14:57.760 --> 15:04.520]  strategy was to decentralize to have multiple layers of independent they
[15:04.520 --> 15:08.360]  called a mosaic having all these independent cells that can operate
[15:08.360 --> 15:15.160]  independent of a decapitation strike and you had evidently in the Pentagon
[15:15.160 --> 15:19.760]  planners there was no awareness of that whatsoever even though they had talked
[15:19.760 --> 15:27.040]  about it publicly so they thought they had it won the decapitation strike
[15:27.040 --> 15:33.280]  except they've been working for that for a very long time was never meant to be a
[15:33.280 --> 15:39.600]  fair fight and it is not a fair fight we are punching them while they're down
[15:39.600 --> 15:45.360]  which is exactly how it should be people like that folks are cowards fundamentally
[15:46.160 --> 15:52.160]  and I just got to say when I look at Pete Hegseth don't call him a Christian
[15:52.160 --> 15:55.640]  nationalist call him a nationalist if you have to don't call him a Christian
[15:55.640 --> 16:00.760]  nationalist there is nothing Christian about these actions I stand before you
[16:00.760 --> 16:07.400]  today with one unmistakable message about operation epic fury America is
[16:07.400 --> 16:13.200]  winning decisively devastatingly and without mercy so there's nothing
[16:13.320 --> 16:19.160]  Christian about that the Christian values gave us the just war theory you
[16:19.160 --> 16:24.000]  don't revel and how many people you can kill especially in civilians the results
[16:24.000 --> 16:28.360]  have been incredible historic really only the United States of America could
[16:28.360 --> 16:34.640]  lead this only us but when you add the Israeli Defense Forces a devastatingly
[16:34.640 --> 16:40.680]  capable force the combination is sheer destruction for our radical Islamist
[16:40.680 --> 16:47.120]  Iranian adversaries Islamist adversaries this is the ninth crusade
[16:47.120 --> 16:51.520]  difference with this crusade is that they're not trying to liberate Jerusalem
[16:51.520 --> 16:55.200]  from the Muslims what they're trying to do is liberate the entire Middle East
[16:55.200 --> 17:01.480]  for Israel and we have only just begun to hunt dismantle demoralize destroy and
[17:01.480 --> 17:07.460]  defeat their capabilities just four days in starting last night and to be
[17:07.460 --> 17:13.540]  completed in a few days in under a week the two most powerful air forces in the
[17:13.540 --> 17:18.780]  world will have complete control of Iranian skies uncontested airspace
[17:18.780 --> 17:24.380]  except has vowed to unleash quote overwhelming and punishing violence on
[17:24.380 --> 17:28.420]  enemies and promise to dispense with stupid rules of engagement quote-unquote
[17:28.420 --> 17:34.300]  what he calls it no one's putting us in danger that's our job so we're not
[17:34.300 --> 17:38.960]  concerned about that we mitigate it as we need to our commanders factor all of
[17:38.960 --> 17:42.600]  this but the only ones that need to be worried right now are our Iranians that
[17:42.600 --> 17:48.060]  think they're gonna live we will fly all day all night day and night finding
[17:48.060 --> 17:52.900]  fixing and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of the Iranian
[17:52.900 --> 17:58.860]  military finding and fixing their leaders and their military leaders flying
[17:58.860 --> 18:05.700]  over Tehran flying over Iran flying over their capital flying over the IRGC
[18:05.700 --> 18:15.060]  Iranian leaders looking up and seeing only US and Israeli air power every
[18:15.060 --> 18:22.260]  minute of every day until we decide it's over and Iran will be able to do
[18:22.260 --> 18:30.740]  nothing about it death and destruction from the sky all day long yeah that's
[18:30.740 --> 18:35.020]  the Secretary of War Crimes that really is the should be the new name of the
[18:35.020 --> 18:39.540]  department I change it from Department of Defense it should be the Department
[18:39.540 --> 18:45.700]  of War Crimes that's where we are right now the pride the hubris of this God
[18:45.700 --> 18:52.460]  hates a prideful and haughty spirit we should hate it as well some people put
[18:52.460 --> 18:59.140]  their trust in chariots and horses f-35s Patriot missiles a Christian puts his
[18:59.140 --> 19:04.140]  trust in God that's why I say he shows no evidence of being a Christian
[19:04.140 --> 19:09.460]  whatsoever and so it was so important for the Department of War Crimes to have
[19:09.460 --> 19:17.460]  domestic surveillance that the vindictive wrath of this egotist Pete
[19:17.460 --> 19:22.180]  Hegseth is now being directed towards anthropic and think about this they're
[19:22.180 --> 19:27.380]  telling us that anthropic presents an unacceptable supply chain risk for
[19:27.380 --> 19:32.180]  everybody within the Department of War Crimes as well as for anybody they do
[19:32.180 --> 19:37.100]  business with so they've got to be purged and yet they're fighting this war
[19:37.100 --> 19:42.500]  right now with anthropic and this is something as I pointed out it's never
[19:42.500 --> 19:47.340]  been done before to a domestic company so think about that think about the fact
[19:47.340 --> 19:52.260]  that their number one a mission is not to go to war and kill other people in
[19:52.260 --> 19:58.260]  other countries their number one mission is America first America first has to be
[19:58.260 --> 20:04.820]  subjugated dominated surveilled and that's what they want this anthropic
[20:05.300 --> 20:08.980]  they want these red lines removed they don't want any red lines that are gonna
[20:08.980 --> 20:13.260]  stop them from domestic surveillance at the Pentagon what do they have to do
[20:13.260 --> 20:17.580]  with domestic surveillance that'd be defending us from foreign threats we
[20:17.580 --> 20:21.540]  don't want a standing army we certainly don't want a standing army of big
[20:21.540 --> 20:28.140]  brother troops but Pete Hegseth does and think about the vanity and the pride of
[20:28.140 --> 20:31.980]  this guy he's now banned photographers pictures
[20:31.980 --> 20:35.940]  outrageous it makes me look utterly ridiculous it's simply not possible to
[20:35.940 --> 20:39.860]  make me look so absurd unless it was malicious I demand this be corrected at
[20:39.860 --> 20:46.900]  once my image is impeccable that's it no more photographers at the Pentagon
[20:50.260 --> 20:54.340]  yeah he already didn't want them asking him any questions right so we're only
[20:54.340 --> 21:00.100]  gonna have people who've signed an oil to loathe basically to him that are gonna
[21:00.100 --> 21:03.340]  be allowed to be in the Pentagon so he's just out most of the mainstream
[21:03.340 --> 21:08.020]  media it's so ridiculous he renames it the War Department he's the secretary of
[21:08.020 --> 21:14.500]  war and he's behaving like a preening homosexual the secretary of war and
[21:14.500 --> 21:19.320]  you're concerned about how you look in these photos that's right and what
[21:19.320 --> 21:23.460]  caused all this was you know he banned all the major media outlets because is
[21:23.460 --> 21:27.660]  that we're not gonna sign something saying that we can't talk to people not
[21:28.100 --> 21:32.100]  these are declassified documents but if it's something that Pete Hegseth doesn't
[21:32.100 --> 21:35.380]  like he's gonna come after you right I said we're not gonna sign that and so
[21:35.380 --> 21:40.060]  even Fox News refused to do that so they they found some people who had toady up
[21:40.060 --> 21:43.700]  to that people like Laura Loomer for example that's the press pool that's
[21:43.700 --> 21:50.060]  there at the Pentagon but after they invaded and aggressed against Iran he
[21:50.060 --> 21:54.420]  held a press conference and he was very upset about the fact that some people
[21:54.420 --> 21:59.420]  asked him some outrageous questions like what's the point now when is this
[21:59.420 --> 22:03.900]  going to end how do we how do we keep this from spreading he said this isn't
[22:03.900 --> 22:08.900]  gonna be like the past failed wars how is that going to be different how dare
[22:08.900 --> 22:13.500]  you ask me questions like that and he was very upset about the pictures that
[22:13.500 --> 22:20.860]  they took of him so it already had major outlets like Fox News ABC News CBS CNN
[22:20.860 --> 22:24.860]  NBC News legacy papers like the Associated Press New York Times
[22:24.860 --> 22:29.100]  Washington Post Wall Street Journal you're not allowed in here because
[22:29.100 --> 22:35.420]  you're gonna cover only what I tell you and we're gonna you sign this piece of
[22:35.420 --> 22:38.700]  paper that's what you're going to do they said no we're not gonna do it so he
[22:38.700 --> 22:43.900]  got very upset he called questions about you know what's the purposes for what's
[22:43.900 --> 22:48.060]  the timeline how do we keep this from stretching on and on he said those are
[22:48.060 --> 22:54.780]  gotcha type questions I'm not how dare you expect me to have an answer you you
[22:54.780 --> 22:59.340]  don't ask me an open-ended question that I can waffle on about come on well I
[22:59.340 --> 23:03.220]  mean come on that's a gotcha question we all know that the purpose of this war is
[23:03.220 --> 23:08.600]  to kill whoever Israel wants us to kill for however long they want us to kill so
[23:08.600 --> 23:12.620]  don't ask me a gotcha question like that I don't put that on record and so then
[23:12.620 --> 23:16.580]  he got very upset about photographers lethality lethality lethality anything
[23:16.580 --> 23:22.700]  other than that that's a gotcha yeah no morality no legality so the purpose of
[23:22.700 --> 23:28.140]  this is for me to preen it to show off my power and to boast about it we've
[23:28.140 --> 23:32.740]  never had a secretary of defense do that I mean that the appropriate way for these
[23:32.740 --> 23:40.140]  people to approach this is with somber spirit and with reluctance because you
[23:40.140 --> 23:44.060]  know that you're killing your own soldiers to some extent and you know
[23:44.060 --> 23:47.340]  that you're killing a lot of other people this should not be something that
[23:47.340 --> 23:54.180]  you glory and it's disgusting disgusting to watch this so I want to ask him what
[23:54.180 --> 23:58.220]  do we do to prevent this conflict from spiraling out did you not hear my
[23:58.220 --> 24:02.780]  remarks earlier and how dare you ask me a gotcha question like that so now it's
[24:02.780 --> 24:07.380]  only going to be the staff photographers of the Department of Defense and they
[24:07.380 --> 24:13.540]  will make sure that he's got the proper makeup and if they if they happen to get
[24:13.540 --> 24:18.340]  a picture of him raging like Adolf Hitler then that won't make the papers
[24:18.340 --> 24:23.580]  right they'll keep that picture and save it probably for the archives once he
[24:23.580 --> 24:27.500]  starts raving like that and then we have the other side of this nothing
[24:27.500 --> 24:31.860]  unflattering with that but now the shoe thing that I talked about yesterday
[24:31.860 --> 24:38.460]  Marco Rubio and a lot of other people are getting these $145 floor time shoes
[24:38.460 --> 24:44.700]  from Trump and folks this is not a minor story because it tells you so much
[24:44.700 --> 24:51.780]  about the character of these people and the cabinet and the culture of the Trump
[24:51.780 --> 24:57.220]  regime because Trump preen that looked over at the shoes for some of these guys
[24:57.220 --> 25:01.340]  and some of them had some pretty expensive shoes because they are they've
[25:01.340 --> 25:06.700]  got a lot of money and he said those shoes are to put it politely excrement
[25:06.740 --> 25:11.300]  what size shoe do you wear and he wants everybody to wear the same shoes that he
[25:11.300 --> 25:17.260]  wears right and so you have this situation Marco Rubio comically wearing
[25:17.260 --> 25:20.980]  shoes that are way too big for him it's not just that everybody's got to wear
[25:20.980 --> 25:25.780]  the same shoes right this is the kind of stuff they see with teenagers at high
[25:25.780 --> 25:30.240]  schools all right I saw this when I was a teenager in high school and I still see
[25:30.240 --> 25:34.540]  it with others there's the picture of the shoes look at it's even walking
[25:34.540 --> 25:42.300]  those things they're like an inch behind his heel but the you know you've seen
[25:42.300 --> 25:46.060]  the situation where you got all these girls and sometimes it's guys as well
[25:46.060 --> 25:53.500]  all dressing exactly alike and I mean I remember going to a party once and every
[25:53.500 --> 25:59.260]  girl basically is wearing the same white top it's like this is crazy you know it's
[25:59.260 --> 26:02.740]  like a cult mentality and that's what the Trump administration is it's like a
[26:02.780 --> 26:08.620]  bunch of people in high school who haven't grown up yet and so yeah little
[26:08.620 --> 26:09.620]  Marco
[26:32.740 --> 26:46.900]  Trump did not ask these guys what shoe size and this is the other part of the
[26:46.900 --> 26:51.740]  story right this is the other shoe to drop okay of this story he goes around
[26:51.740 --> 26:55.500]  the table go okay we're gonna get you guys some good shoes because I'm the one
[26:55.500 --> 26:58.660]  who wears the good shoes you know all of you wear a red tie and a blue suit
[26:58.660 --> 27:04.260]  because that's what I wear and they imitate him voluntarily but then he
[27:04.260 --> 27:06.980]  wants them to all wear these same hundred forty five dollar Florsheim
[27:06.980 --> 27:13.300]  shoes and some of them are kind of upset about that so I guess I'm really nice
[27:13.300 --> 27:21.380]  leave Vuitton shoes here and of course Monia wears Prada right that was on the
[27:21.380 --> 27:24.860]  the billboard of that movie theater when they're gonna play the Melania
[27:24.860 --> 27:30.140]  documentary that said well on Friday we find out if Melania wears Provda Prada
[27:30.140 --> 27:33.980]  right because that was the double wears Prada movie that was playing there
[27:33.980 --> 27:38.620]  anyway he goes around he says so so what should I shoot he wearing write this
[27:38.620 --> 27:45.380]  down everything and Marco's got small feet he doesn't want to be trolled for
[27:45.380 --> 27:50.300]  small feet so he tells him a bigger shoe size than he actually is and then he's
[27:50.300 --> 27:53.980]  got to have to be humbled by walking around with these shoes that are too big
[27:53.980 --> 27:58.820]  for him and evidently just as we see with this war he can't figure out well I
[27:58.820 --> 28:03.180]  could buy some Florsheim shoes that would be the right size and Trump would
[28:03.180 --> 28:08.060]  never know instead he's gonna walk around his shoes that don't fit him this
[28:08.060 --> 28:11.300]  is the way these guys operate with the Constitution this is the way Mike
[28:11.300 --> 28:18.260]  Johnson and the rest of the GOP operate in Congress they are so afraid of this
[28:18.260 --> 28:24.820]  bullying thug this mafia don that the mafia family of the GOP and the Trump
[28:24.820 --> 28:30.460]  regime will humiliate themselves wearing these things it truly is amazing a
[28:30.460 --> 28:36.660]  perfect metaphor for Congress the cabinet and the Trump mafia family
[28:36.660 --> 28:41.740]  values that you've got there it's also indicative of the type of sycophantic
[28:41.740 --> 28:47.500]  subservient losers we have in power Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy have
[28:47.500 --> 28:52.260]  both been pictured wearing shoes that are much too large for them simply for
[28:52.260 --> 28:57.980]  their own vanity and to appease Trump and remember the the Ron DeSantis
[28:57.980 --> 29:02.820]  pictures we had we had some kind of elevator shoes that built up the heel in
[29:02.820 --> 29:10.780]  the back to a ridiculous amount and he was basically on his tiptoes and it's
[29:10.780 --> 29:14.780]  kind of next they'll be doing the the Mar-a-Lago face with all the lip filler
[29:14.780 --> 29:22.780]  and all the rest these are not serious people this is much worse than the
[29:22.780 --> 29:27.820]  powdered wigs that everybody was wearing at the time of Washington one
[29:27.820 --> 29:32.780]  person it was White House female White House official said all the boys have
[29:32.780 --> 29:40.700]  them that is that she says boys not men all the boys have them she said it's
[29:40.700 --> 29:46.500]  hysterical because everybody is afraid not to wear them because the master said
[29:46.500 --> 29:50.740]  so kiss the ring the president kind of holds up his hands and says no no no
[29:50.740 --> 29:55.780]  hold on a second there's something much more important here shoes Vance recalled
[29:55.780 --> 30:01.940]  JD Vance said he peers over the resolute desk and he says Marco JD you guys have
[30:01.940 --> 30:06.740]  crappy shoes we're gonna get you better shoes he goes out and grabs a catalog
[30:06.740 --> 30:10.620]  this happens to be another politician in the room and he actually runs us through
[30:10.620 --> 30:15.340]  this incredible shoe catalog the president is gifting us with four pairs
[30:15.340 --> 30:20.180]  of shoes each Marco what's your shoe size and Marco apparently in eleven and
[30:20.180 --> 30:25.900]  a half Vance adds he says JD what's your shoe size and my shoe size is 13 yes
[30:25.900 --> 30:29.420]  this other politician who's in the room I don't want to embarrass him maybe it
[30:29.420 --> 30:37.060]  was Marco really he knows what his shoe size is and he says seven says Vance the
[30:37.060 --> 30:41.820]  president kind of leans back in his chair and says you know you can tell a
[30:41.820 --> 30:47.340]  lot about a man by the size of his shoe probably you know how hard he is to
[30:47.340 --> 30:54.540]  knock over I guess but this is like the this is like Stanley Kubrick and his
[30:54.540 --> 31:00.260]  eccentric presidents that he has right clueless right Jack D Ripper the general
[31:00.260 --> 31:04.680]  you know he can tell a lot about a man because the size of his shoes like I can
[31:04.680 --> 31:08.360]  tell a lot about a man who thinks that he can tell a lot about a man about the
[31:08.360 --> 31:13.800]  size of his shoes that's the key thing he says though anyway that's they're all
[31:13.800 --> 31:19.080]  afraid to tell him the truth because he mocked the guy who had small feet so
[31:19.080 --> 31:23.000]  then Marco Rubio tell ups his size and then he walks around and shoes that are
[31:23.000 --> 31:27.720]  too big for him so pathetic this guy wants to be president he's not even his
[31:27.720 --> 31:32.520]  own man you know how can he tell other people that when he's such a subservient
[31:33.520 --> 31:39.880]  the question is like Bob Dylan said you're gonna serve someone right who's
[31:39.880 --> 31:44.480]  he gonna serve Dylan meant that you're gonna either serve God or the devil
[31:44.480 --> 31:49.120]  right and of course we know where that choice is as well some sources told
[31:49.120 --> 31:54.200]  Wall Street Journal they've heard it in a cabinet secretary grumbling about
[31:54.200 --> 31:58.200]  feeling pressured to set aside their Louis Vuitton shoes to wear floor
[31:58.200 --> 32:03.600]  shimes when they visited the White House and those who receive a pair from the
[32:03.600 --> 32:07.720]  president feel compelled to wear them in his presence I want to know if Tucker
[32:07.720 --> 32:12.120]  Carlson does that he's one of the people by the way who got the shoe you know he
[32:12.120 --> 32:15.920]  got that they got some shoes from Trump part of the inner circle like Sean
[32:15.920 --> 32:21.880]  Hannity and some of these other people so does Tucker Carlson humiliate himself
[32:21.880 --> 32:27.920]  to wear the shoes is he too afraid not to wear them and I've got a list here
[32:28.040 --> 32:35.760]  here it is I think I know that's not the list but you and McDonald said Trump
[32:35.760 --> 32:40.000]  buying shoes for his cabinet is a way of belittling them and humiliating them
[32:40.000 --> 32:44.920]  Rubio even had such a lack of dignity and self-respect before Trump that he's
[32:44.920 --> 32:48.280]  willing to humiliate himself by shuffling around in shoes that are too
[32:48.280 --> 32:53.040]  big for him that's right conservative columnist Matt Lewis said well these
[32:53.040 --> 32:58.760]  shoes could cause blisters well these are guys who evidently are not chafing
[32:58.760 --> 33:03.200]  when their policies don't fit in the Constitution so I don't know if they
[33:03.200 --> 33:10.040]  hate get chafing and blisters from their feet their their their policies and
[33:10.040 --> 33:14.040]  being a Zionist sock puppets I guess they got to just get a thicker sock
[33:14.040 --> 33:19.520]  puppet to wear on their feet and I think it'll be fine well we're right to the
[33:19.520 --> 33:23.360]  point Tony's ready to come on I want to talk about what's happening with gold
[33:23.360 --> 33:28.640]  and where this all heads I mean this is things are accelerating very rapidly and
[33:28.640 --> 33:35.400]  we've seen a lot of this is rhyming with the history of the 1973 oil embargo
[33:35.400 --> 33:41.120]  except this time it's the Trump oil embargo not the OPEC oil embargo but a
[33:41.120 --> 33:44.920]  lot of things are lined up and a lot of things are lined at the things that are
[33:44.920 --> 33:49.240]  different are things that are gonna make it much worse this time quite
[33:49.240 --> 33:53.120]  frankly real quickly though before we go we do have some tips and comments that
[33:53.120 --> 33:56.800]  we should get to mm-hmm star Barkley thank you so much for the tip we really

[34:04.440 --> 34:08.080]  and we've got a lot of people telling us that they know exactly what's going to
[34:08.080 --> 34:17.040]  happen disregard those people Jesus said he didn't know so people have I got
[34:17.040 --> 34:21.160]  some inside scoop that even Lord Jesus Christ doesn't have so ignore those

[35:15.780 --> 35:21.480]  stuff yeah I know it's yeah there's not really too much that we can do to reason
[35:21.480 --> 35:24.800]  with people and sometimes you just have to do things that are going to try to
[35:24.880 --> 35:28.640]  help you and that's what we're gonna be talking about with Tony and North
[35:28.640 --> 35:33.120]  American House hippo he says I've seen this movie so many times before this is

[37:01.520 --> 37:06.600]  accumulate gold which is a wise way to do it everything has become so volatile
[37:06.600 --> 37:11.880]  the big swings happening all the time so getting it over a period of time is a
[37:11.880 --> 37:17.200]  wise way to accumulate this at wise wolf and he has wolf pack that you can sign
[37:17.200 --> 37:22.560]  up and set up a particular savings program to extend you know just budget a
[37:22.560 --> 37:25.880]  certain amount that you want to set aside in gold each month that's a great
[37:25.880 --> 37:30.180]  way to accumulate thank you Tony for joining us today well it's great to be
[37:30.180 --> 37:35.280]  back David good to see I'm wearing shoes that fit by the way I've got some
[37:35.280 --> 37:38.520]  actual some moccasins they're nice and comfortable I don't have to impress
[37:38.520 --> 37:45.960]  anybody except for my dog beans she's got them golden slippers and gold them
[37:45.960 --> 37:50.800]  golden slippers well a lot of people are looking at this chaos and right away we
[37:50.800 --> 37:55.720]  had gold shoot way up over the weekend you know Monday it was way up and then
[37:55.720 --> 38:00.700]  they the American markets open as Gerald Slinty said goes down same thing
[38:00.700 --> 38:04.920]  happened with oil oil was way up because people were reacting to the reality of
[38:04.920 --> 38:08.400]  it and then apparently there's some manipulation that's happening in the
[38:08.400 --> 38:12.240]  American market somehow the plunge protection team or whatever this spike
[38:12.240 --> 38:15.960]  protection team I guess trying to make sure that gold and oil don't spike
[38:15.960 --> 38:20.780]  nevertheless the reality is there it's the same type of thing that people we
[38:20.780 --> 38:24.060]  have been talking about for a long time we look at what the federal government
[38:24.060 --> 38:28.660]  is doing with debt and deficit and when you look at the inflation and the money
[38:28.660 --> 38:32.980]  creation all the rest of stuff those are real factors that are going to have an
[38:32.980 --> 38:37.140]  effect they can manipulate it in the short term they can try to play games
[38:37.140 --> 38:40.940]  with it but it's going to win out in the end and so I went back and looked at I
[38:40.940 --> 38:45.420]  thought you know there's so many parallels between 1973 and the OPEC
[38:45.500 --> 38:51.060]  gold embargo and I was kind of curious as to how gold had taken off and it took
[38:51.060 --> 38:54.660]  a while before it started taking off because everybody was focused on oil and
[38:54.660 --> 38:59.220]  we see that happening again this time it was the average price in 1973 even with
[38:59.220 --> 39:06.820]  the OPEC gold embargo was $97 and but then by the time we got to 1979 it went
[39:06.820 --> 39:14.300]  from 225 to 560 something that year and then by the beginning of 1980 it jumped
[39:14.340 --> 39:21.180]  up to 800 and then went back down to like the 560 level after that but that's
[39:21.180 --> 39:24.980]  kind of the pattern that we're looking at an eight and a half time you know the
[39:24.980 --> 39:29.140]  peak was eight and a half times larger than where it was even after the embargo
[39:29.140 --> 39:33.860]  had started so I'm looking at this and thinking well if history rhymes you know
[39:33.860 --> 39:37.860]  we could be looking at something that's like eight to nine times higher and in a
[39:37.860 --> 39:41.140]  couple of years as this stuff is percolating through because gold was
[39:41.180 --> 39:45.780]  reacting not just to the immediate oil spike but it was reacting to the fact
[39:45.780 --> 39:50.100]  that it had to percolate through the system and we're going to see the effects
[39:50.100 --> 39:54.940]  of the oil price increase percolate through the system and the inflation and
[39:54.940 --> 39:59.380]  the stagflation that was happening with all that was percolating through and so
[39:59.380 --> 40:03.340]  it may take a while but we're seeing articles here on Kitco one guy said well
[40:03.340 --> 40:06.660]  you know six thousand dollars another guy says ten thousand dollars but if it
[40:06.660 --> 40:13.900]  went up anywhere close to what it did in 1973 from 1973 to 1980 it'd be up to
[40:13.900 --> 40:18.940]  forty thousand dollars forty five thousand dollars is crazy and of course
[40:18.940 --> 40:22.220]  I think you're right to point that out those similarities between those
[40:22.220 --> 40:26.740]  timelines and you're also right to point out there's some sort of plunge
[40:26.740 --> 40:31.940]  protection team here in the US when the financial sector trying to suppress
[40:31.940 --> 40:36.140]  these prices there that are running away from us the price of gold and the price
[40:36.140 --> 40:40.420]  of crude oil as a matter of fact I was spending some time with a friend of mine
[40:40.420 --> 40:44.900]  I've known for over 30 years who's now a high-up executive in an oil drilling
[40:44.900 --> 40:49.820]  company he travels all over the world this is a very smart guy and we were
[40:49.820 --> 40:55.580]  watching in real time the foreign markets as they opened up on Sunday what
[40:55.580 --> 40:58.940]  the prices of crude were and he just looked at me and said I've been in doing
[40:58.940 --> 41:03.260]  this for 25 years he's like I've I've never seen anything like this has never
[41:03.260 --> 41:08.540]  happened this percentage and jump in the price of crude that fast has never
[41:08.540 --> 41:12.860]  happened and he said it may just start running away where they can't stop it
[41:12.860 --> 41:16.420]  where it's gonna get to two hundred dollars a barrel he said that's a real
[41:16.420 --> 41:21.820]  possibility yeah so given that and his knowledge on that I looked at the
[41:21.820 --> 41:26.140]  markets as they opened up you're exactly right but the difference is David if you
[41:26.140 --> 41:31.700]  go back to the 70s 1973 was the last year that the United States ran a trade
[41:31.700 --> 41:36.020]  surplus we never ran a trade surplus again after that it was trade deficits
[41:36.020 --> 41:39.860]  and to the trillions and that's a massive transfer of wealth that went to
[41:39.860 --> 41:46.340]  places like China but at the end of the 70s you're right gold was near $600 an
[41:46.340 --> 41:52.140]  ounce and then hit $800 an ounce in 1980 but you had the ability for the United
[41:52.140 --> 41:56.300]  States and the financial sector to suppress that and they did they did they
[41:56.300 --> 41:59.900]  had they raised interest rates to the teens there was a lot of financial
[41:59.900 --> 42:05.780]  maneuvering to take focus away from the loss of purchasing power of the dollar
[42:05.780 --> 42:10.220]  and they used that system for a long it worked for a long time they can't do
[42:10.220 --> 42:15.220]  that anymore the debt of the US in 1980 was 1 trillion and it took us you know
[42:15.220 --> 42:20.940]  from the beginning of our history in 1776 to 1979 80 to get there now we do a
[42:20.940 --> 42:25.380]  trillion every 90 days or so and you and I have covered that I don't think they
[42:25.380 --> 42:31.180]  have the ability to suppress that runaway gold price anymore like they
[42:31.180 --> 42:34.900]  did in 1980 and you're right the predictions of six thousand and ten
[42:34.900 --> 42:39.140]  thousand dollar gold I don't think that's off the mark at all given our
[42:39.140 --> 42:44.700]  current economic climate last week we talked about and again I looked all
[42:44.700 --> 42:49.460]  over to try to see if any major network covered this but you and I talked about
[42:49.460 --> 42:57.340]  it the dollar got surpassed by gold as the world's reserve asset and we've
[42:57.340 --> 43:00.420]  talked about that for years I did was always number one was the dollar but
[43:00.420 --> 43:05.460]  because of the massive accumulation by central banks of physical gold and then
[43:05.460 --> 43:11.860]  the repricing going into you know five thousand plus that creates a holding
[43:11.860 --> 43:16.380]  that gold is higher than the dollar and the reserve holdings of the central
[43:16.380 --> 43:20.740]  banks so we've crossed a lot of boundaries with the dollarization and
[43:20.740 --> 43:26.380]  the world you know monetary system so there's no way they can suppress what's
[43:26.380 --> 43:30.060]  truly happening which is de dollarization across the board that's
[43:30.060 --> 43:33.420]  right as a matter of fact this article that's talking about six thousand dollar
[43:33.420 --> 43:38.420]  gold said well you don't have to beat the US militarily all you have to do is
[43:38.420 --> 43:44.860]  beat the bond market heavy reliance on US dollars by foreign nations that are
[43:44.860 --> 43:50.900]  concurrently dependent on imported energy and when all oil price spikes in
[43:50.900 --> 43:57.340]  the dollar strengthens foreign entities are forced into a difficult position he
[43:57.340 --> 44:01.980]  points out that they have to have energy they have to have food they have to have
[44:01.980 --> 44:06.700]  these commodities and so they will sell their dollar assets starting with
[44:06.700 --> 44:12.060]  treasuries because they're the deepest and the most liquid to essentially buy
[44:12.180 --> 44:17.260]  oil the dynamic creates a cycle where foreign nations effectively use the US
[44:17.260 --> 44:23.540]  bond market to finance their energy deficits driving yields higher and so
[44:23.540 --> 44:28.580]  that's what it starts to become a cycle feedback cycle with that as well and so
[44:28.580 --> 44:32.660]  it's going to put pressure on them to basically more pressure on them to dump
[44:32.660 --> 44:36.580]  their Treasury bills which there we don't like because of the actions of
[44:36.580 --> 44:41.900]  both Biden with his sanctions and Trump continuing those sanctions and adding
[44:41.900 --> 44:45.020]  tariffs and other things like that so people are already trying to move away
[44:45.020 --> 44:51.980]  because we are the mad hegemon sounds like some kind of a Pokemon thing the
[44:51.980 --> 44:55.260]  mad hegemon that's out there and so everybody's trying to pull back away
[44:55.260 --> 44:59.540]  from this anyway but they'll have to do it out of necessity so time is really on
[44:59.540 --> 45:04.660]  Iran's side and they've thought about this from a strategic standpoint which
[45:04.660 --> 45:10.540]  obviously the planners in the Pentagon never thought about anything other than
[45:10.540 --> 45:14.900]  we have the most planes and the most bombs and we can you know the kind of
[45:14.900 --> 45:19.620]  stuff that you hear Pete Hickson boasting about all the time well it
[45:19.620 --> 45:23.780]  reminds me a little bit of the the von Schlieffen plan from World War one with
[45:23.780 --> 45:27.980]  the Germans they had all this time they decades to draw this thing up they were
[45:27.980 --> 45:31.900]  always looking into the best way to use troop movements and whatever they're
[45:31.900 --> 45:37.540]  trying to keep up with technology and it was it wasn't even about any sort of
[45:37.660 --> 45:41.500]  real goals other than just defeating something but they just kept drawing up
[45:41.500 --> 45:44.820]  this plan and drawing up this plan and finally it got into action the von
[45:44.820 --> 45:47.980]  Schlieffen plan of World War one and they thought it was about a quick
[45:47.980 --> 45:53.820]  victory and of course you fast forward you know four plus years and we just
[45:53.820 --> 45:59.620]  had the great Civil War of the West and millions died and it's a wasteland just
[45:59.620 --> 46:05.540]  an utter carnage and evil so you know these military types when they they have
[46:05.540 --> 46:10.380]  this and it's also the aggressors too isn't it there's like the people who
[46:10.380 --> 46:13.540]  started off they always want a blitzkrieg or something right you know
[46:13.540 --> 46:18.500]  that's exactly right like the lightning war shock and awe remember shock and
[46:18.500 --> 46:21.820]  awe I thought I followed behind shock and awe didn't shock they're all very
[46:21.820 --> 46:27.940]  much in effect you know I can attest to that there was a there was I think a
[46:27.940 --> 46:33.380]  delusion behind this type of thinking and it's it's demonic in my opinion yeah
[46:33.860 --> 46:38.540]  they always have some arrogance or hubris behind them that the rest of us
[46:38.540 --> 46:43.140]  are just we don't think this way I'm looking at I don't see any upside I
[46:43.140 --> 46:47.380]  mean how can you not convince me that this is just some sort of humiliation
[46:47.380 --> 46:53.660]  ritual for chaos and like we're we're being destroyed from within with bad
[46:53.660 --> 46:57.420]  policy and does anybody really think that we're gonna win this in some way
[46:57.420 --> 47:03.300]  and what is winning when the the world markets you know how fragile this system
[47:03.300 --> 47:08.740]  is you look at the price of crude it's gonna destroy whatever if you if you had
[47:08.740 --> 47:12.060]  any economic growth or any sort of progress that's right it's being
[47:12.060 --> 47:16.260]  destroyed right now that's right how long is it gonna take to recover war
[47:16.260 --> 47:19.140]  Pete thinks is we're gonna win this because he doesn't think about anything
[47:19.140 --> 47:25.820]  other than just destruction and death and what the clown he is I saw the clown
[47:25.820 --> 47:32.660]  saw you know a couple of retired colonels and generals and Gregor was one
[47:32.660 --> 47:36.620]  of them and another guy not in one interview but in a couple of different
[47:36.620 --> 47:40.860]  ones and they were saying yeah look at this press briefing that's being given
[47:40.860 --> 47:47.740]  by war Pete and by Dan Kane the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and he said
[47:47.740 --> 47:51.980]  when Dan Kane gets up there he starts giving the standard presentation well we
[47:51.980 --> 47:56.580]  got this many planes that we sunk this many ships and all the rest is kind of a
[47:56.580 --> 48:00.660]  lot of the stuff that's kind of like what war Pete does but he says I've set
[48:00.660 --> 48:04.340]  through those briefings and you know through these different wars we've had
[48:04.340 --> 48:07.900]  you know Vietnam and Iraq and all the rest of stuff and it's meaningless you
[48:07.900 --> 48:11.820]  know this is like Robert McNamara's body count it really doesn't mean anything
[48:11.820 --> 48:15.060]  in the bigger picture of things and they've lost the bigger picture as you
[48:15.060 --> 48:21.900]  point out well there's a lot of echoes of Mac McNamara and Rumsfeld here but
[48:21.900 --> 48:26.900]  we've reached a new level of stupid we're in a new and I'm sorry it is
[48:26.900 --> 48:31.820]  terrifying this is the Secretary of War I mean you renamed it you own it and
[48:31.820 --> 48:36.980]  you're right a Secretary of War crimes I mean this just to start off the war by
[48:36.980 --> 48:41.380]  killing what is it a hundred and seventy seven members of a girls school in Iran
[48:41.380 --> 48:45.860]  that's confirmed at antiwar.com and that's been confirmed they can deny it all they
[48:45.860 --> 48:49.820]  want but that's what they did that's right and this is just and more
[48:49.820 --> 48:55.060]  importantly Tony they don't have the decency to apologize for it and they
[48:55.060 --> 48:58.420]  don't have the respect for the intelligence the American people even
[48:58.420 --> 49:03.100]  come up with a plausible denial right that's what Trump is doing now Tomahawks
[49:03.100 --> 49:06.880]  everybody's got Tomahawks Ron's got Tomahawks I'm sure Ron did that to their
[49:06.880 --> 49:12.700]  own people you know that kind of stupidity and you know oh well our
[49:12.700 --> 49:17.020]  accurate our missiles are accurate well if you're saying it was a Tomahawk then
[49:17.020 --> 49:20.380]  that's an accurate missile like I said when I was talking about this earlier in
[49:20.380 --> 49:25.820]  the week I had a friend who was in in the military and he said yeah we talked
[49:25.820 --> 49:29.540]  about the cruise missiles we can pick which window of the Kremlin we want to
[49:29.540 --> 49:32.820]  put it through that may have been a little bit of an exaggeration but not by
[49:32.820 --> 49:37.420]  much and so he says yeah everybody's got Tomahawks absolute lie I mean they don't
[49:37.420 --> 49:43.100]  even sell those to Israel and then he proceeds from there there's the same
[49:43.100 --> 49:47.860]  kind of lies we saw in Minnesota they have no respect for our intelligence and
[49:47.860 --> 49:53.540]  why should they people voted for them well it's all based off a lie whether or
[49:53.540 --> 49:57.500]  not they intentionally did it or they just skipped over the fact that they're
[49:57.500 --> 50:03.580]  doing their due diligence of what target both are lies both have ill intent and
[50:03.580 --> 50:10.020]  every aspect of this I've seen in real time I've seen you know their so-called
[50:10.020 --> 50:16.460]  smart bombs that hit civilian targets and it is so awful you have to imagine
[50:16.660 --> 50:20.780]  if you're hitting civilian targets and maybe it's not on purpose but they are
[50:20.780 --> 50:26.820]  collateral damage you are exacting a toll and you are you are creating death
[50:26.820 --> 50:30.420]  and destruction it should be such a solemn thing that you have to you're
[50:30.420 --> 50:36.460]  forced to do it we just went and did this with no provocation with no reason
[50:36.460 --> 50:41.780]  and there's no strategic or defense advantage to this so yeah I mean the
[50:41.820 --> 50:47.380]  people that did this in my in my opinion I mean somebody like Pete this is just a
[50:47.380 --> 50:52.660]  devoid of any sort of Christian character or understanding of the real
[50:52.660 --> 50:57.740]  consequences of war and I'm afraid for my country when I see stuff like this is
[50:57.740 --> 51:03.100]  this is complete arrogance well Senator John Kennedy apologized for it and he's
[51:03.100 --> 51:06.620]  the only one Democrat or Republican who's apologized for it now some people
[51:07.060 --> 51:12.140]  Democrats applauded him for apologizing for it so we got it wrong we didn't mean
[51:12.140 --> 51:16.180]  to do that but that was not the response of Trump not the response of war Pete
[51:16.180 --> 51:20.860]  war Pete says you know uses it as an occasion to boast about the fact we
[51:20.860 --> 51:24.300]  don't target civilians and our missiles are accurate and so forth and so you
[51:24.300 --> 51:27.220]  know that's his response couldn't possibly happen that Scott Ritter when
[51:27.220 --> 51:33.700]  he was talking about it said you know he is still haunted by one particular case
[51:33.700 --> 51:37.220]  like this that he was involved in he said we did our due diligence we had
[51:37.220 --> 51:41.020]  really good reason to believe that that was where some of Saddam Hussein's
[51:41.020 --> 51:44.780]  people were they said it turned out we were wrong even with all the due
[51:44.780 --> 51:48.260]  diligence he said I live with that every day I think about the consequences of
[51:48.260 --> 51:51.860]  that but he said what's happening with this they've got so many targets it's
[51:51.860 --> 51:56.180]  kind of like what they did in Minnesota they said we want X number of arrests
[51:56.180 --> 52:01.900]  every day just go out there and you know grab people and he said that's that
[52:01.900 --> 52:06.780]  leads to sloppy work and and yet you know it might be something might
[52:06.780 --> 52:11.860]  involve this anthropic Claude's AI because they were using that in terms of
[52:11.860 --> 52:16.740]  targeting and yet when you look at that what Pete Hegseth wants to do is give
[52:16.740 --> 52:23.540]  even more discretion to AI if AI made the mistake or if it was old data that
[52:23.540 --> 52:28.060]  they had or whatever it was he wants to he's already shut down a lot of the
[52:28.060 --> 52:31.740]  oversight and he wants to shut down even more oversight of this and he has the
[52:31.740 --> 52:35.380]  audacity to say we don't target civilians you know they just kill
[52:35.380 --> 52:39.340]  everybody right it's crazy and we'll tell that to the people in Dresden and
[52:39.340 --> 52:44.620]  the firebombing of Tokyo that's right you know me lie we had we had we had that
[52:44.620 --> 52:48.620]  you could go on and on if you know if you know history and that happens that's
[52:48.620 --> 52:54.020]  all countries this happens to in any sort of military power that's fighting a
[52:54.020 --> 52:57.420]  war there's always some sort of darkness behind nobody gets out of that
[52:58.020 --> 53:03.980]  but to fight this war you have to I have not seen a plausible explanation other
[53:03.980 --> 53:08.660]  than this is operation Epstein fury that we're acting on behalf of a foreign
[53:08.660 --> 53:13.620]  government in their bidding I saw that's all I see yeah some so it's a this is
[53:13.620 --> 53:18.300]  not in the American interest it's despicable and and it goes against
[53:18.300 --> 53:21.660]  everything he promises on voters I don't understand why there hasn't been a
[53:21.660 --> 53:25.580]  bigger price but there may be a bigger price to pay by the time they get to
[53:25.580 --> 53:31.260]  the election I don't know but so that was one person saying you know 6,000 by
[53:31.260 --> 53:35.780]  mid-year in terms of gold based on what he's looking at you've got another
[53:35.780 --> 53:41.780]  analyst saying he thinks 10,000 by 2029 and he said you know everybody talking
[53:41.780 --> 53:46.740]  about $10,000 gold just a year or two ago but I thought you were crazy now it
[53:46.740 --> 53:51.380]  doesn't look easy does it you know cuz it's fiked up to what 5300 was that
[53:51.380 --> 53:56.300]  about 5300 so we got yeah over the first at the weekend of the strike on
[53:56.300 --> 54:01.220]  the 28th going into the first part of March it was 5300 and then there's some
[54:01.220 --> 54:05.040]  profit-taking and some sell-off but we've crossed so many boundaries here
[54:05.040 --> 54:09.500]  David it's it's hard we're not gonna go back to you know the way that gold
[54:09.500 --> 54:14.300]  pricing used to be and there's a few different times when 2011 is another
[54:14.300 --> 54:20.340]  great example of when they were able to suppress gold again by outwardly showing
[54:20.340 --> 54:23.580]  that there's gonna be fiscal responsibility and that the feds not
[54:23.580 --> 54:28.140]  going to do massive quantitative easing and TARP and all the rest of that stuff
[54:28.140 --> 54:32.940]  and bail out these banks anymore and people calm down silver sold off gold
[54:32.940 --> 54:35.860]  sold off they I don't think that'll happen again I don't think that they can
[54:35.860 --> 54:42.660]  truly suppress either crude anymore or the the gold markets I don't think they
[54:42.660 --> 54:49.180]  can suppress and so $10,000 gold very plausible within this decade and all we
[54:49.180 --> 54:53.540]  would need is just to continue down the path that we're on right now I mean
[54:53.540 --> 54:57.700]  absolutely yeah gold was I remember I went to the trading floor in August of
[54:57.700 --> 55:02.460]  2024 and I was leaving and I did a post about it I thought this is really
[55:02.460 --> 55:08.060]  historic there's $2,500 gold I think that's so crazy like a week and because
[55:08.060 --> 55:11.900]  you know I've followed this for so many years and I was like 2,500 what a
[55:11.900 --> 55:18.220]  milestone well here we are and it's 2026 not quite two years later at all and
[55:18.260 --> 55:22.500]  we're looking at talking about $10,000 gold at the end of the decade I think
[55:22.500 --> 55:27.700]  completely plausible because in 6,000 definitely within striking distance just
[55:27.700 --> 55:32.580]  let this keep going yeah you got a well that's the thing it will they have war
[55:32.580 --> 55:36.540]  game this out we didn't plan this but they did they plan the response
[55:36.540 --> 55:41.460]  absolutely all they have to do like Iran right now and think about the oil
[55:41.460 --> 55:46.460]  exporting countries and those who rely they're gonna get a windfall profit from
[55:46.460 --> 55:50.220]  this of course there's gonna be massive downturns in other parts of the economy
[55:50.220 --> 55:54.180]  but think of the the amount of margin that these countries are gonna be able
[55:54.180 --> 55:58.540]  to bring in just the price of crude alone and the fact that the Strait of
[55:58.540 --> 56:04.060]  Hormuz is blocked 90% and that's where what 20% of the out outflows used to
[56:04.060 --> 56:12.800]  come from globally so that all bets are off and it's 25% of all shipping that
[56:12.800 --> 56:15.620]  goes through the Strait of Hormuz because there's a lot of other stuff
[56:15.780 --> 56:19.260]  besides oil that goes through their food clothes electronics all the rest of
[56:19.260 --> 56:25.260]  stuff and so it is a massive massive oversight to have the arrogance to think
[56:25.260 --> 56:28.380]  that we're gonna take them out so quickly we don't even have to worry
[56:28.380 --> 56:33.740]  about that we don't have to plan about that Hatchcar 61 said please send a
[56:33.740 --> 56:38.440]  thank you to Tony and his crew received my wolf pack package today stacking made
[56:38.440 --> 56:43.340]  easy well I'll tell you he's not having a easy time with stacking and that is
[56:43.340 --> 56:48.820]  Dubai they said their gold flows have been crushed because it's not just a
[56:48.820 --> 56:52.220]  Strait of Hormuz these are flights you know they're putting the they're not
[56:52.220 --> 56:57.020]  putting the gold on a tanker it's not that heavy but they're putting on
[56:57.020 --> 57:02.780]  airplanes and so many problems with air air flights being restricted as well it's
[57:02.780 --> 57:06.820]  not just sea freight that's restricted it's air freight that's restricted as
[57:06.820 --> 57:13.940]  well and so it's created a just like we see these tankers are all full and
[57:13.940 --> 57:17.460]  sitting there in the water they said that's a record amount never had that
[57:17.460 --> 57:22.780]  much oil sitting on the water in tankers and they don't have any onshore storage
[57:22.780 --> 57:26.180]  facilities left with this stuff either and so you're getting the same type of
[57:26.180 --> 57:31.220]  thing with gold and it is stacking up and so ironically you're getting these
[57:31.220 --> 57:35.780]  places like in Dubai and other places where they are so heavily stocked with
[57:35.780 --> 57:38.780]  gold they're getting desperate to move the inventory they're discounting it
[57:38.780 --> 57:44.060]  there so that's kind of a crazy way to look at it I've got a question here Tony
[57:44.060 --> 57:48.620]  for you from Jason Parker nice of storm he said ask Tony what the sourcing
[57:48.620 --> 57:52.300]  challenges for silver are compared to a couple months ago I hear it's getting
[57:52.300 --> 57:57.220]  really hard to get inventory it's getting harder and harder and what's
[57:57.220 --> 58:01.060]  crazy about that is that there's two prongs of that the one side the
[58:01.060 --> 58:05.260]  refiners mostly aren't melting the silver which that would help with supply
[58:05.260 --> 58:11.380]  I'm not sure exactly why they aren't but there's a lot of the I think maybe the
[58:11.380 --> 58:15.620]  price volatility is one reason but a lot of the refiners are not melting it did
[58:15.620 --> 58:21.980]  this rise in prices and then the turn back of those prices the volatility has
[58:21.980 --> 58:26.660]  hurt a lot of people mm-hmm this hurt a lot of the supply chains hurt a lot of
[58:26.660 --> 58:32.220]  dealers and luckily Wise Wolf we came through that pretty much unscathed but
[58:32.220 --> 58:38.100]  I have to pay attention to it I have to dream about it and where I'm gonna land
[58:38.100 --> 58:42.020]  because it's like it's all over the place so my mind is constantly calculating
[58:42.020 --> 58:46.460]  what the next buy batch is gonna be and what I'm going to sell off and what my
[58:46.460 --> 58:51.100]  percentages are but I know it I know for a fact it didn't hurt a lot so it's
[58:51.100 --> 58:55.820]  really disrupted supply yeah well I mean you're living in an environment of
[58:55.980 --> 59:01.700]  hyperinflation you know like the Weimar Republic or the what was the place the
[59:01.700 --> 59:05.840]  African nation Zimbabwe I think in the hand Zimbabwe yeah and you know so we
[59:05.840 --> 59:09.220]  see that and we've seen the tales of people it was even happening in
[59:09.220 --> 59:14.020]  Argentina there you know people talking about how merchants would have bread on
[59:14.020 --> 59:17.180]  the shelf and they would have to constantly be changing the price
[59:17.180 --> 59:20.820]  throughout the day for this kind of stuff that's the environment that you
[59:20.820 --> 59:27.820]  live in I don't envy you at all at Wise Wolf it's it's difficult but I'm glad
[59:27.820 --> 59:32.220]  that I have this opportunity I think it's a it's a good puzzle to solve and I
[59:32.220 --> 59:35.460]  get to help a lot of people because if you've if you've been buying from Wolf
[59:35.460 --> 59:38.660]  Pack for a while like you've you've protected the purchasing power of your
[59:38.660 --> 59:42.780]  dollar even with paying premiums even with you know shipping and all the rest
[59:42.780 --> 59:46.380]  of stuff that we have to charge you've done well to protect yourself and I
[59:46.380 --> 59:51.460]  think that will be the case for many years to come if if you're putting your
[59:51.460 --> 59:55.940]  your dollars and fiat into into metals I think you still got a long way to go to
[59:55.940 --> 01:00:00.540]  protect yourself that's right yeah there was a comment from a guy who worked for
[01:00:00.540 --> 01:00:04.820]  Goldman Sachs in terms of commodity things and he says we've always seen
[01:00:04.820 --> 01:00:10.900]  this type of thing in the past big movement out of soft stuff like
[01:00:10.900 --> 01:00:15.380]  technology stocks and things like that into the real stuff and so we're at a
[01:00:15.860 --> 01:00:20.260]  switching point right now where that is happening again the pendulum is moving
[01:00:20.260 --> 01:00:24.580]  again towards commodities like oil and base metals and precious metals and
[01:00:24.580 --> 01:00:27.980]  stuff like that infrastructure and you better believe there's going to be a lot
[01:00:27.980 --> 01:00:31.220]  of spending on infrastructure because nothing chews up infrastructure like
[01:00:31.220 --> 01:00:36.460]  wars especially now they can target the infrastructure so precisely and we've
[01:00:36.460 --> 01:00:41.620]  seen that already in Russia and Ukraine and so and already in the Gulf War we've
[01:00:41.620 --> 01:00:46.380]  seen that people you know we have the US and Israel targeting the oil refineries
[01:00:46.380 --> 01:00:52.340]  of Iran and they're returning the favor so even if this war were to end tomorrow
[01:00:52.340 --> 01:00:56.540]  the knock-on effects of this are going to be very very long it's going to be a
[01:00:56.540 --> 01:01:03.180]  big bottleneck of constipation from these tankers just like we saw when Trump
[01:01:03.180 --> 01:01:08.260]  took the boot off of our necks with a lockdown it created all kinds of a you
[01:01:08.300 --> 01:01:12.540]  know train wreck and derailments with the supply chain and took a long time to
[01:01:12.540 --> 01:01:16.660]  iron that out and a lot of the effects of things that happened back in 2020 it's
[01:01:16.660 --> 01:01:20.340]  still not been ironed out North American House it post says for all of Trump's
[01:01:20.340 --> 01:01:23.900]  bluster there's an interesting that he hasn't taken credit for doubling the
[01:01:23.900 --> 01:01:32.500]  price of gold because that's a metric of failure for him isn't it let's that's a
[01:01:32.500 --> 01:01:35.500]  good point well you know the saddest part about all of this is it's so
[01:01:35.500 --> 01:01:39.580]  predictable yeah we talked about this for years like this is what you know you
[01:01:39.580 --> 01:01:42.620]  have currency wars and trade wars and then you have kinetic actual wars you
[01:01:42.620 --> 01:01:47.460]  could have avoided all of this so it was a choice like we it's you know the the
[01:01:47.460 --> 01:01:53.940]  only thing we're interested in who's wearing four-time shoes and what is the
[01:01:53.940 --> 01:01:59.780]  size of your foot that's how I size up a man right and was why do we have to have
[01:01:59.780 --> 01:02:06.420]  Trump was Nero not available can we not get that burn the whole thing I just I
[01:02:06.420 --> 01:02:13.140]  think he's more like Caligula very much yes because of very much on the on the
[01:02:13.140 --> 01:02:17.260]  spectrum of that it's really sad to watch David and who knows where all these
[01:02:17.260 --> 01:02:21.560]  prices are gonna go I mean I think the most and something that sticks with me
[01:02:21.560 --> 01:02:25.580]  and what when I look at prices or price predictions for metals or it could be
[01:02:26.060 --> 01:02:31.260]  to is just how small the markets are I mean gold like a 20 trillion dollar
[01:02:31.260 --> 01:02:36.540]  market cap but the world is like a 600 trillion dollar asset pool so I mean
[01:02:36.540 --> 01:02:40.260]  you're talking about just a small amount goes into gold but I think silver is
[01:02:40.260 --> 01:02:44.700]  like a was it three trillion dollar market cap something maybe maybe four
[01:02:44.700 --> 01:02:49.980]  it's a small thing bitcoins like two compared to the hundreds of trillions
[01:02:49.980 --> 01:02:53.060]  that are supposedly floating in currencies and sovereign wealth funds
[01:02:53.060 --> 01:02:56.420]  and bonds and real estate and other things around the world and when that
[01:02:56.420 --> 01:03:01.340]  stuff and you're right the Goldman Sachs traders right volatility and then
[01:03:01.340 --> 01:03:06.540]  uncertainty these all those funds are gonna migrate into something else that's
[01:03:06.540 --> 01:03:10.660]  more stable that you can count I mean and you don't know where techs going to
[01:03:10.660 --> 01:03:15.500]  go you don't know where any of these like even medical or any of these stuff
[01:03:15.500 --> 01:03:19.620]  it's gonna go well even tech is gonna be affected by this stuff they were saying
[01:03:19.660 --> 01:03:24.540]  you know the Gulf States have been big purchasers of this stuff and they're
[01:03:24.540 --> 01:03:28.980]  ramping up data centers not just buying Nvidia chips but you know entire data
[01:03:28.980 --> 01:03:33.060]  centers that they were in the process of budgeting to build that ain't gonna
[01:03:33.060 --> 01:03:36.100]  happen now because they're gonna have to they got other things on their plate
[01:03:36.100 --> 01:03:40.740]  that's gonna happen it's it's amazing when you look at how complicated all
[01:03:40.740 --> 01:03:45.140]  this stuff is and it just comes from the hubris of central planners who think
[01:03:45.140 --> 01:03:49.180]  that they understand the way the world works nobody does you know it's like
[01:03:49.180 --> 01:03:55.380]  Leonard and what's the guy's name that did I pencil Leonard Reed was that his
[01:03:55.380 --> 01:03:59.620]  name and you know he talks about how nobody's planning a pencil but it's all
[01:03:59.620 --> 01:04:03.440]  this kind of invisible hand of Adam Smith type of thing and and that's the
[01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:09.700]  problem you know Trump and his planners have shown that they don't understand
[01:04:09.700 --> 01:04:14.020]  the first thing about how the global economy works if he did he wouldn't be
[01:04:14.020 --> 01:04:18.900]  trying to throw a monkey wrench into it all the time with his ego nomics of
[01:04:18.900 --> 01:04:23.500]  tariffs you know I don't like this guy over here who's leader of that country
[01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:27.100]  so I'm gonna put you know 100% tariff on him tomorrow you know that type of
[01:04:27.100 --> 01:04:31.680]  thing it's stupid it's beyond stupid a Syrian girl says with the projected
[01:04:31.680 --> 01:04:35.220]  prices accrued well I think a lot of people are in danger of dying in the
[01:04:35.220 --> 01:04:41.220]  dark and cold next winter yeah and of going broke as well in the UK one guy
[01:04:41.260 --> 01:04:46.940]  was talking about how liquid natural gas is something they've been pushing them
[01:04:46.940 --> 01:04:51.260]  toward they said oh we don't have coal and we don't want to have oil they're
[01:04:51.260 --> 01:04:57.340]  too dirty so you're gonna burn gas well now they don't have the gas and they
[01:04:57.340 --> 01:05:00.780]  said they're gonna pay a lot more for it that's why Lindsey Graham is rubbing his
[01:05:00.780 --> 01:05:06.660]  hands together like a conniving fly and saying we're gonna get rich you know
[01:05:06.660 --> 01:05:09.580]  he's gonna his military industrial people gonna get rich replacing the
[01:05:09.580 --> 01:05:13.340]  bombs and then they're gonna get rich he thinks because they're going to control
[01:05:13.340 --> 01:05:18.860]  31% of the world's oil but you can't get it out you know if Iran blows up the
[01:05:18.860 --> 01:05:23.420]  refineries and their ports and the oil wells oil fields and things like that
[01:05:23.420 --> 01:05:28.340]  how they're gonna get to that well they can't get to the oil in Venezuela so you
[01:05:28.340 --> 01:05:32.380]  know all of this stuff is stupid yeah it's stupid I mean what's good of being rich at the
[01:05:32.380 --> 01:05:35.860]  world's on fire I mean really have they do they think these things through I
[01:05:35.860 --> 01:05:39.160]  don't know you know what we didn't talk about and they have their finger on the
[01:05:39.160 --> 01:05:46.720]  button as well that's exactly right and people like Lindsey Graham that actually
[01:05:46.720 --> 01:05:51.840]  have power yeah I think that's we get the leaders that we deserve I think it's
[01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:58.400]  some level like that the American people like South Carolina's like well he does
[01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:04.660]  support Israel and that's what you get folks you get Lindsey Graham you know we
[01:06:04.660 --> 01:06:08.320]  didn't talk about David is we didn't talk there was one thing in all of the
[01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:12.640]  news headlines and I thought oh we better highlight that and that was the
[01:06:12.640 --> 01:06:18.160]  fact that BlackRock and Blackstone stopped the outflows of some of their
[01:06:18.160 --> 01:06:24.520]  private equity funds and they're not the only ones there's others of JP Morgan
[01:06:24.520 --> 01:06:28.600]  Morgan Stanley yeah the contagion is spreading I think it's up like three or
[01:06:28.600 --> 01:06:33.360]  four of them now that it put limits on that that that is something to watch
[01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.400]  that we didn't again that's another thing didn't make a lot of headlines just
[01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:39.360]  in the circles that you and I pay attention to and some of the things but
[01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:44.880]  I think that is a good indicator of that's huge possible credit crunch and
[01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:49.860]  liquidity issues bank runs I've had some people text me asked me about banking
[01:06:49.860 --> 01:06:56.520]  and you know I I'm very cautious yeah looking at how much liquidity you've got
[01:06:56.520 --> 01:07:01.760]  in a bank at any given time always be careful of that and we look at the
[01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:06.400]  private equity state I just yesterday I looked it up because I asked Gerald
[01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:09.880]  Slinty on air said so is this tied together with commercial real estate
[01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.400]  goes oh yeah oh yeah I looked it up after the show and it's like that's a
[01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:18.380]  huge part of this private equity fund the things that Gerald Slinty has been
[01:07:18.380 --> 01:07:21.840]  talking about at Trends Journal for a long time the commercial real estate
[01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:27.120]  bust because of what happened with 2020 and what Trump did his first round of
[01:07:27.120 --> 01:07:35.440]  chaos and control and so the you know this this ongoing very slow-moving
[01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:40.160]  juggernaut of disaster is starting to now manifest itself through some of
[01:07:40.160 --> 01:07:44.560]  these hedge funds that are there absolutely a citizen of America says I
[01:07:44.560 --> 01:07:48.680]  remember not too long ago we had a flash flood and a bunch of our young school
[01:07:48.680 --> 01:07:52.840]  girls were washed away at Camp Mystic and I thought to myself how horrible and
[01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:58.560]  the nation grieved but somehow they can't be horrified by this and they
[01:07:58.560 --> 01:08:02.640]  can't accept any responsibility for it either and that's the key thing isn't it
[01:08:02.640 --> 01:08:05.480]  you know that's one of the first things that happens in war first casualties
[01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:11.280]  truth but it's also the the second casualty is the humanity of the people
[01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:16.520]  in the other country you know we treat them as some kind of subhuman they're
[01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:21.960]  on a different team now you know they've got a different flag and different
[01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:26.640]  leaders so they're no longer human and we don't regard them as human and that's
[01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:32.480]  a good example of it I think yeah imagine how horrifying it is years later
[01:08:32.480 --> 01:08:36.480]  when you realize they probably weren't the enemy to begin with even if you did
[01:08:36.480 --> 01:08:40.960]  dehumanize them and then you we learned about yeah there wasn't any dancing
[01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:48.840]  Iranians that I remember my research on 9-11 so I there's there's so many lies
[01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:53.240]  but you're so right the the first casualty of war is the truth and and then
[01:08:53.240 --> 01:08:57.720]  you then your man humanity goes as well and then you join into the ceremony of
[01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:02.960]  things and that's why I I want to be a thousand miles away from whatever this
[01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:07.760]  is just karmically spiritually don't want any of it on me that's right and I
[01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:11.160]  don't want anybody in my audience anybody listens to this that to be
[01:09:11.160 --> 01:09:17.680]  pulled in at all from this propaganda it's so predictable what's going on but
[01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:22.720]  it's also really sad we get in these seasons of war and this bloodlust kicks
[01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:29.440]  in for everybody which is truly insane and you know when you look at it the
[01:09:29.440 --> 01:09:34.120]  the lies that this all began with you know completely ignoring our history
[01:09:34.120 --> 01:09:40.240]  with Iran I could understand why Iran would think of us as Satan when you look
[01:09:40.240 --> 01:09:44.640]  at the fact that we've been coming after them for 73 years I mean we not only we
[01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:49.360]  don't leave them alone we overthrow their government we put in a king with
[01:09:49.360 --> 01:09:55.640]  a horrific secret police that arrests tortures and kills people and trained
[01:09:55.640 --> 01:09:59.640]  by the CIA and Mossad they suffer under that for a couple of decades then we
[01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:04.240]  start pushing in planned parenthood and all of our disgusting values into the
[01:10:04.240 --> 01:10:09.240]  country and then when they over react in both of these ways and they come in with
[01:10:09.240 --> 01:10:12.960]  a very strict Islamic government what we do is we ally ourselves with Saddam
[01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:16.440]  Hussein and try to wipe them off the face of the map when that doesn't work
[01:10:16.440 --> 01:10:20.640]  we do the kind of stuff we're doing now we assassinate one leader after the other
[01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:24.600]  and then we attack the country it's like what's going on all of this is being
[01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:29.200]  done from our perspective and not from their perspective but the American
[01:10:29.200 --> 01:10:34.240]  public looks at it and all they know about with Iran is well they kidnapped
[01:10:34.240 --> 01:10:40.160]  people at our embassy and so you know they were the aggressor they kidnapped
[01:10:40.160 --> 01:10:43.200]  and held these people and if you understand the history behind Iran
[01:10:43.200 --> 01:10:47.760]  contra you know just how involved Ronald Reagan's campaign manager Bill Casey
[01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:52.360]  while Bill Casey from the OSS who was one of the founders of the CIA and how
[01:10:52.360 --> 01:10:57.400]  he told them you know cutting deals with these people that were supposed to be
[01:10:57.400 --> 01:11:02.080]  unapproachable we'll give you spare parts you give us money and we set up a
[01:11:02.080 --> 01:11:07.080]  secret war because that's what they always want you know we get black market
[01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:10.840]  money for a secret war we sell you parts so that you can kill people under
[01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:15.760]  pressure on people it's just insane when you look at it I thought it was funny
[01:11:15.760 --> 01:11:19.720]  somebody played clips of Condoleezza Rice and she was saying well Iran has been
[01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:24.600]  our enemies you know for 47 years and I thought well except for some brief
[01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:30.440]  interludes like when when you dealt with you know hostages for missiles with
[01:11:30.440 --> 01:11:37.000]  there and things like that or the the flight that supposedly George HW Bush
[01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:41.080]  took over there secretly to to meet with the Iranian officials to hold the
[01:11:41.080 --> 01:11:44.680]  hostages a little longer till after the inauguration of Reagan you know that's
[01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:48.800]  right it's all sorts of history that goes back I wasn't enough to win the
[01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:52.560]  election you had to keep the hostages there until the day that Reagan is
[01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:57.920]  sworn in yeah absolutely you know and I saw one of these Iranian officials and
[01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:02.760]  he was he teaches school now he wasn't really in the government but he was very
[01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:06.960]  much a part of the regime and he said I tell this to the younger Iranians and
[01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:13.400]  they don't believe me how evil America is and he says and he was so convinced
[01:12:13.400 --> 01:12:18.640]  and I think what happened with that Iranian jetliner I think that was an
[01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:22.680]  accident I think was exactly the same kind of accident that took down flight
[01:12:22.680 --> 01:12:27.080]  800 it's just that they couldn't cover it up when it happened to a foreign
[01:12:27.080 --> 01:12:32.080]  country's commercial airliner but he thought that was deliberate because
[01:12:32.080 --> 01:12:35.960]  that that's his opinion of America and I can understand that but you know we
[01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:38.920]  get upset with the Iranians because they don't like their government or whatever
[01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:42.240]  their government leaders just understand what the rest of the world might think
[01:12:42.240 --> 01:12:47.760]  about Americans and how this national security state has undermined the
[01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:52.640]  security and the safety and the peace and the prosperity of you and your
[01:12:52.640 --> 01:12:57.440]  family because it's gonna these chickens are gonna come home to roost they talk
[01:12:57.440 --> 01:13:02.840]  about terrorist attacks I don't think that this FBI document is credible but
[01:13:02.840 --> 01:13:06.880]  I think the US government is perfectly capable of doing a terrorist attack
[01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:10.960]  false flag and I think there's people around the world that would love to do
[01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.240]  this and not have it be a false flag because of what we've done to people for
[01:13:15.240 --> 01:13:21.320]  so long we're just making this country so dangerous by the actions of the CIA
[01:13:21.320 --> 01:13:28.440]  in the Pentagon multi-factor danger in there because people once there is a
[01:13:28.440 --> 01:13:35.440]  false flag or attack they will fall in line and people like us that
[01:13:35.440 --> 01:13:39.320]  will see through it we're gonna be we might have a little while right now
[01:13:39.320 --> 01:13:43.760]  where things are like oh I agree with David or I agree with Tony you know
[01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:49.200]  because we're not real popular when it comes to you know analysis because people
[01:13:49.200 --> 01:13:53.680]  want to have their delusions and it'll it'll be even harder for us especially
[01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:57.760]  if there's some sort of galvanizing thing or an attack a god forbid I don't
[01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:01.920]  mean it's such an awful thing I don't want any of this we don't have time for
[01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:06.540]  it and I'm afraid of what it'll usher in but they've already seen some of that you
[01:14:06.540 --> 01:14:09.840]  know when it comes to the border you look at what's happening in Minnesota
[01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:15.480]  while the Trump regime was doing and I said you know I seen where this is headed
[01:14:15.480 --> 01:14:19.440]  for the longest time Alex did documentary after documentary about the
[01:14:19.440 --> 01:14:24.160]  police stated four of them and and yet when it's being done by Trump everybody
[01:14:24.160 --> 01:14:27.960]  cheers it when it's being done to throw out these dirty foreigners that came in
[01:14:27.960 --> 01:14:31.640]  here then everybody's for and again that's the dehumanizing of this well
[01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:34.560]  they're not citizens so I don't care what happens to them it's like well we
[01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:40.520]  don't have citizens rights as much as we got human rights in the Declaration of
[01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:43.960]  Independence it's because we were created in the image of God not because
[01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:48.720]  somebody in Washington has said that you're a citizen or not and if we allow
[01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.960]  them to get rid of our humanity if we allow them to get rid of the humanity of
[01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:56.740]  people who have committed a crime and came into this country illegally but
[01:14:56.740 --> 01:15:00.680]  they still get due process and it still needs to be proportional and it is not
[01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:06.840]  just the the act of coming into the country illegally does not make them a
[01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:10.120]  rapist and a murderer and I mean there are rapists and murderers who came in as
[01:15:10.120 --> 01:15:14.600]  well but even they get due process to make sure we got the right people and
[01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:18.200]  when you throw that stuff out the window and you throw the humanity of people out
[01:15:18.200 --> 01:15:22.120]  the window that is an incredibly dangerous thing and I've seen that with
[01:15:22.120 --> 01:15:25.280]  this Trump administration well you're talking about ice or they're talking
[01:15:25.280 --> 01:15:29.600]  about Venezuela and the machine gunning of people in the water who is shipwrecked
[01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:34.760]  I'm disgusted with this country and I don't want to have it like you're talking
[01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:37.800]  about I want to stay a thousand miles away from that I want to disassociate
[01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:42.120]  myself from that and I want Americans to disassociate themselves from that it
[01:15:42.120 --> 01:15:47.400]  bothers me when I see people cheering it and saying I voted for this well I think
[01:15:47.400 --> 01:15:53.280]  even with a false flag the prices of things and the economic consequences
[01:15:53.280 --> 01:15:57.160]  will override that I think people will get tired on it a long enough time I
[01:15:57.160 --> 01:16:01.000]  think they're gonna get tired of it real soon by the way this is not not
[01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:05.000]  going away and you're about to see the midterms of everything else I don't
[01:16:05.120 --> 01:16:08.960]  think this is gonna be popular and perhaps the Trump administration knew
[01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.480]  this already and they're just doing it because they're acting on behalf of a
[01:16:12.480 --> 01:16:18.240]  foreign nation I know what there's no upside for them here in the short run
[01:16:18.240 --> 01:16:22.760]  or the long run I don't know if there's any other way to explain it but
[01:16:22.760 --> 01:16:27.120]  unfortunately we're we're tied to this and we're along for the ride so in my
[01:16:27.120 --> 01:16:31.640]  estimation you know to to look in it from what I do in the precious metals
[01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:36.720]  businesses it's probably been never been a better time to get out of the
[01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:42.120]  system and into something that is yours without counterparty risk not to do an
[01:16:42.120 --> 01:16:45.880]  infomercial but that's a yeah well I agree with it time to do that and you
[01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:50.600]  know I look at this and it's the same kind of stuff that when Trump pumped and
[01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:55.040]  dumped crypto right I was saying at the time I said it's on sale we get get your
[01:16:55.040 --> 01:17:00.280]  gold and silver right and so I see this as another one of the with them
[01:17:00.280 --> 01:17:03.560]  manipulating the market to try to keep it from spiking really huge with both
[01:17:03.560 --> 01:17:11.040]  gold and oil now is the time to try to protect yourself and you know there are
[01:17:11.040 --> 01:17:14.740]  some measures that you can do to protect yourself and your family and from a
[01:17:14.740 --> 01:17:19.000]  financial standpoint I don't think you can do better in terms of protection
[01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.520]  than gold as nothing is perfect and nothing's gonna go straight up and to
[01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:29.600]  the right always but it is you know it's averaging that out over a period of time
[01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:33.920]  and just trying to stick with what is real I think that's the most important
[01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:37.360]  thing well Tony thank you so much is there anything else you'd like to tell
[01:17:37.360 --> 01:17:42.400]  us about what's going on at wise wolf well I I'm gonna be traveling next week

[01:20:52.280 --> 01:21:02.240]  Elvis and the sweet sounds of Motown.
[01:21:02.240 --> 01:21:07.080]  Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com.
[01:21:07.080 --> 01:21:11.160]  I love every act of wars that can occur upon this earth.
[01:21:11.160 --> 01:21:12.160]  And so does Lindsey Graham.
[01:21:12.160 --> 01:21:14.600]  We should change the voice to that of Lindsey Graham.
[01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:18.320]  Give him instead of a German accent, give him a South Carolina accent.
[01:21:18.320 --> 01:21:19.320]  I love sieges.
[01:21:19.320 --> 01:21:20.320]  I love charges.
[01:21:21.160 --> 01:21:26.160]  Well, everybody is talking about Lindsey Graham and not in a good way either.
[01:21:26.160 --> 01:21:30.960]  You got even Megan Kelly coming out and saying, when did he become our president?
[01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:33.160]  Well, you know, he has run for president in the past.
[01:21:33.160 --> 01:21:34.440]  That's a scary thing, isn't it?
[01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:39.680]  He threatened four countries in 24 hours and he goes on Fox news and he's got a
[01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.760]  little hat for every one of his wars that he wants to have with every one of
[01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:46.400]  these countries, you know, Trump is out there threatening countries economically.
[01:21:46.440 --> 01:21:48.320]  He's threatening to kill people.
[01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:50.360]  Absolutely insane.
[01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:54.360]  And of course, um, you know, he's, he's doing a lot of this for Israel.
[01:21:54.360 --> 01:21:57.760]  We got a rabbi who's claiming that the Messiah is coming this year.
[01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:00.760]  It's about 2026 years too late.
[01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:03.680]  I think you're a bit late, bud.
[01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:03.960]  Yeah.
[01:22:03.960 --> 01:22:07.240]  He says the war against Iran, that Trump is prosecuting alongside Israel.
[01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:12.880]  Then began as a Pentagon situation room, according to Rabbi Kessin, one of the
[01:22:12.880 --> 01:22:18.000]  most original incisive Torah thinkers alive today, what the world is witnessing
[01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:21.280]  right now was written thousands of years ago as prophecy.
[01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:25.040]  You see, they got nuts like that on their, uh, on their side as well.
[01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:29.440]  We've got all these Christian Zionists, but they've got Jewish Zionists as well
[01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:32.480]  who are pushing this apocalyptic video.
[01:22:32.480 --> 01:22:37.720]  And of course you've got people like Donald Trump, who is more than happy
[01:22:38.240 --> 01:22:41.200]  to jump into that kind of insanity.
[01:22:41.200 --> 01:22:45.280]  As a matter of fact, it might be one of the reasons why you got, uh, Lindsey
[01:22:45.280 --> 01:22:50.760]  said this about what the world thinks of Trump, BB and the Ayatollah.
[01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:52.320]  You used to be this way.
[01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:57.720]  If you polled Europe, who's worse for the world, Trump, BB or the Ayatollah,
[01:22:58.080 --> 01:22:59.680]  the Ayatollah would finish third.
[01:23:00.280 --> 01:23:05.040]  This hatred of Israel and Trump is insane and dangerous.
[01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:07.400]  Why do you think that is Lindsey?
[01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:08.920]  I'm with Israel.
[01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.960]  And of course the way he pronounces it, he doesn't ever say Israel.
[01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:17.680]  He says Israel, R I L and he said, going to send your sons and daughters
[01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:18.560]  to die in the middle East.
[01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:22.240]  So I'm going back to South Carolina and tell people they need to get into the fight.
[01:23:22.280 --> 01:23:23.840]  Of course, he's not going to do it himself.
[01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:27.440]  You're not going to see the Trump boys get involved in this.
[01:23:27.440 --> 01:23:31.880]  And as a matter of fact, it was JD Vance who was pledging to people.
[01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:36.360]  Hey, if you are of draft age or something, you need to vote for Trump because
[01:23:36.360 --> 01:23:37.440]  you don't want to go to war, right?
[01:23:37.440 --> 01:23:39.480]  Honest guidance to those young men.
[01:23:39.800 --> 01:23:43.480]  And I think their concerns are very legitimate, but if you're worried about
[01:23:43.480 --> 01:23:47.040]  the world, spending out of control, if you're worried about a military draft,
[01:23:47.040 --> 01:23:50.640]  if you're worried about, God forbid a world war, the best way to prevent
[01:23:50.640 --> 01:23:52.000]  it is to vote for Donald Trump.
[01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:54.320]  And I, I really believe that.
[01:23:56.080 --> 01:23:59.360]  Yeah, that's one of the reasons why Trump has gone down in people's
[01:23:59.360 --> 01:24:04.960]  esteem, uh, lower than the Ayatollah, the Ayatollah may be crazy, but he
[01:24:05.480 --> 01:24:07.560]  didn't attack us, so he attacked them.
[01:24:08.200 --> 01:24:12.280]  Uh, so you got Lindsey Graham talking about sending your sons and daughters
[01:24:12.280 --> 01:24:15.560]  to go die in a war, this is from the new American, they said, this is an
[01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:17.200]  interview he had with Sean Hannity.
[01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:20.760]  And it followed a report from the wall street journal that Graham went to
[01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:28.120]  Israel several times, he said recently to coach prime minister Netanyahu on
[01:24:28.120 --> 01:24:31.120]  how to push Trump to start a war with Iran.
[01:24:32.040 --> 01:24:32.880]  Think about that.
[01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:33.640]  Think about that.
[01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:35.320]  As I said before, he's like Jonathan Pollard.
[01:24:35.320 --> 01:24:36.880]  He's a traitor to this country.
[01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:39.160]  It truly is a traitor.
[01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:45.560]  And then declaring that if you are not with Israel, as he puts it,
[01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:47.800]  then you're an anti-Semite.
[01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:49.720]  I think you mispronounced that as well.
[01:24:50.160 --> 01:24:54.240]  Uh, you're obviously a racist if you just want to have peaceful trade with
[01:24:54.240 --> 01:24:57.600]  people and leave people alone, like George Washington, you know, George
[01:24:57.600 --> 01:25:00.120]  Washington is anti-Semitic, you know, right?
[01:25:00.120 --> 01:25:04.000]  Cause he didn't want to go to war for, uh, companies.
[01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:07.520]  He didn't want to go to war for foreign alliances and that type of thing.
[01:25:08.200 --> 01:25:12.600]  Uh, as frightening as Graham's comments to Hannity are, perhaps more disturbing
[01:25:13.200 --> 01:25:17.000]  is what the wall street journal disclosed about his recent junkets to Israel.
[01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:20.800]  During an interview with wall street journal, Graham called military
[01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:25.520]  advisors who opposed bombing Iran, the non entanglement crowd.
[01:25:26.320 --> 01:25:28.000]  Oh, I'll accept that label.
[01:25:28.080 --> 01:25:28.400]  Yeah.
[01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:30.800]  We don't want foreign entanglements.
[01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:34.720]  Uh, maybe you might call us the pro George crowd.
[01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:37.760]  I'm not saying pro Washington because I despise that place.
[01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:42.400]  Uh, betting on Trump's second term, he said was worth it for the president's
[01:25:42.400 --> 01:25:43.800]  military interventions alone.
[01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:45.200]  I love war.
[01:25:47.480 --> 01:25:51.000]  You know, Lindsey Graham, he says, uh, second term Trump has different
[01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:53.040]  instincts than first term Trump.
[01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:53.880]  Yeah.
[01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:55.080]  He said, I agree with it.
[01:25:55.360 --> 01:25:58.280]  He does stink a lot more than he did the first term.
[01:25:58.280 --> 01:26:02.000]  Already, uh, other Republican presidents, he said would not have green
[01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:03.560]  lighted the Iran operation either.
[01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:06.920]  He said something that he keeps reminding Trump of.
[01:26:07.640 --> 01:26:12.360]  He said Trump with us forces, having captured Venezuela and Maduro, uh, is
[01:26:12.360 --> 01:26:15.960]  now more inclined to undertake further interventions.
[01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:16.160]  Yeah.
[01:26:16.160 --> 01:26:17.680]  He was puffed up with pride.
[01:26:18.360 --> 01:26:19.440]  That was very dangerous.
[01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:23.360]  Uh, how easy that was for them to do.
[01:26:24.240 --> 01:26:26.840]  And again, he thought he could just go in and out, you know, I can go
[01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:28.520]  in and decapitate the gun.
[01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:30.440]  They're all going to be running around, won't know what to do.
[01:26:30.440 --> 01:26:32.440]  And all those people in the streets are going to rise up.
[01:26:32.440 --> 01:26:36.680]  It's like, you didn't count on what happens when you kill 160 children.
[01:26:37.200 --> 01:26:38.720]  We start bombing civilians.
[01:26:39.240 --> 01:26:45.680]  Then at that point, people see you as a greater enemy than the Ayatollah
[01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:49.560]  with his secret police or the Shaw, right?
[01:26:50.160 --> 01:26:53.800]  He said, uh, people don't understand how much more confident Trump is.
[01:26:53.920 --> 01:27:01.240]  Said Graham again, emboldened by committing crimes and getting away with those crimes.
[01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:04.000]  I remember the statement Winston Churchill said.
[01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:08.960]  He said there was nothing more exhilarating than being shot at without result.
[01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:15.120]  That's basically what exhilarated Trump and accelerated him as well.
[01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:18.640]  Accelerated him into a channeling aid off.
[01:27:19.320 --> 01:27:22.000]  Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks.
[01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:24.920]  He said, they'll tell me things our government won't tell me.
[01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:28.920]  And he said, he spoke with Netanyahu coaching him on how to lobby
[01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:32.560]  the president for action Netanyahu showed the president intelligence.
[01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:34.560]  They persuaded Trump to go ahead.
[01:27:35.240 --> 01:27:38.320]  In other words, I mentioned goes in and goes, yeah, we pull the wool over
[01:27:38.320 --> 01:27:43.000]  his eyes with these two smart people, Fauci and Burks about the fake pandemic.
[01:27:43.320 --> 01:27:47.360]  So yeah, just show him a bunch of, um, you know, made up charts or whatever.
[01:27:47.360 --> 01:27:52.800]  Maybe pull out that chart with the ACME, uh, bomb on it from, from road
[01:27:52.800 --> 01:27:55.360]  runner and a coyote, uh, show him that.
[01:27:55.400 --> 01:27:57.360]  Tell them how close they are to the nuclear bomb.
[01:27:58.160 --> 01:28:03.320]  And, uh, so he says he visits them bi-weekly, I guess to pick up his paycheck.
[01:28:03.320 --> 01:28:03.680]  Right.
[01:28:04.040 --> 01:28:09.920]  I mean, they paid him $4.6 million APAC has who knows how much money
[01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:11.840]  he's getting from facade on the side.
[01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:15.160]  I just want to say, I feel good about the Republican party.
[01:28:15.320 --> 01:28:19.200]  I feel good about where we are going as a nation because we're going to war.
[01:28:19.280 --> 01:28:19.600]  Right.
[01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:21.400]  He always feels good about going to war.
[01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:23.360]  We're killing all the right people.
[01:28:23.360 --> 01:28:26.640]  He said, and we're cutting your taxes.
[01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:33.720]  No, as a matter of fact, Eric Peters on his site, as he's gotten like a, you
[01:28:33.720 --> 01:28:37.120]  know, every other day, he's putting something up about a comment about the
[01:28:37.120 --> 01:28:43.440]  state of the war and he puts it up with a date and he calls it war taxes because
[01:28:43.440 --> 01:28:45.480]  war is expensive.
[01:28:46.400 --> 01:28:46.560]  Yeah.
[01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:47.960]  You're not going to be cutting our taxes.
[01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:51.600]  You're going to be raising the debt, which is going to be paid for in taxes.
[01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:54.520]  He said, this is my favorite present.
[01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:55.960]  We run out of bombs.
[01:28:56.120 --> 01:28:58.000]  We didn't run out of bombs in world war two.
[01:28:58.840 --> 01:28:59.960]  I love Israel.
[01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:03.680]  He said, yeah, you like bombs and you like attacking companies, countries.
[01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:05.080]  You're going to love Israel.
[01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:06.560]  He should move there.
[01:29:07.400 --> 01:29:07.520]  All right.
[01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:11.760]  During his interview with fellow chicken hawk Hannity says new American, a
[01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:18.760]  booster of war in which he has never and will never fight Graham declared that
[01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:21.720]  the fight against Iran is a fight against Adolf Hitler.
[01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:25.520]  No, it's against the people who fought Hitler and then became Hitler.
[01:29:26.440 --> 01:29:27.120]  Donald Trump.
[01:29:27.120 --> 01:29:30.280]  He said, save us literally in the nick of time.
[01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:36.080]  If we'd wait another year, they would have had 11 nuclear bombs and they would use them.
[01:29:36.200 --> 01:29:40.560]  I believe with all my heart and soul, if the regime in Iran still stands and this
[01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:42.080]  is over, we have made a mistake.
[01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:43.480]  Well, guess what?
[01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:45.440]  It is going to be standing when it's all over.
[01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:48.160]  You're not going to overthrow Iran.
[01:29:48.440 --> 01:29:51.680]  Just like you didn't overthrow Iraq or Afghanistan.
[01:29:52.480 --> 01:29:54.400]  You've had one failure after the other.
[01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:56.040]  Have we learned a lesson?
[01:29:56.040 --> 01:29:56.480]  No.
[01:29:57.120 --> 01:30:02.840]  I think Iran did learn a lesson about us, but we didn't learn a lesson about ourselves.
[01:30:03.560 --> 01:30:09.800]  We're led by people like Hegseth who are too proud, too full of hubris to actually
[01:30:09.800 --> 01:30:11.000]  look at themselves in the mirror.
[01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:14.400]  They don't like seeing themselves in the mirror or in photographs.
[01:30:15.080 --> 01:30:18.400]  Uh, he does, he, he's not like the guy who looks in the mirror and then walks
[01:30:18.400 --> 01:30:19.760]  away and forgets what he looks like.
[01:30:20.040 --> 01:30:25.400]  No, he doesn't even want to do an inspection of what he is doing of his
[01:30:25.400 --> 01:30:27.080]  character or anything else like that.
[01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:36.120]  He said, um, uh, so this is going to be another, uh, one of these, um, uh,
[01:30:36.280 --> 01:30:37.320]  Pyrrhic victories.
[01:30:38.280 --> 01:30:41.280]  If it is, I don't know what kind of a victory they're going to try to get out
[01:30:41.280 --> 01:30:44.080]  of this, but it's going to backfire on them.
[01:30:44.080 --> 01:30:49.320]  If they're, if their idea is that they're going to do regime change, aside from
[01:30:49.320 --> 01:30:53.200]  professing his own loyalty to Israel, writes a new American Graham experts
[01:30:53.280 --> 01:30:57.080]  expects Americans to send their kids to die in the Middle East.
[01:30:57.720 --> 01:30:59.200]  I go back to South Carolina.
[01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:03.000]  I'm asking them to send their sons and their daughters to Middle East.
[01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:11.440]  Known as lady G and LGBT circles, Graham is a childless bachelor, a homosexual.
[01:31:12.240 --> 01:31:17.160]  He served in the air force as a lawyer and as a judge, he's one of a
[01:31:17.160 --> 01:31:23.480]  triumphant of, uh, Republicans like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, whose principal
[01:31:23.480 --> 01:31:29.080]  loyalty is to Israel, and it's based on an unfortunate interpretation of the Bible.
[01:31:29.080 --> 01:31:31.840]  I would say in a misinterpretation of the Bible.
[01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:38.080]  And it is based on political idolatry, and it is based on politics and
[01:31:38.080 --> 01:31:40.840]  current events over Christ.
[01:31:41.960 --> 01:31:43.280]  That really is what it's about.
[01:31:44.080 --> 01:31:49.800]  Uh, you know, not even the Orthodox Jews get into this like the Zionists do.
[01:31:50.280 --> 01:31:53.640]  They're a Christian Zionist, Jewish Zionist, but the Orthodox Jews look at it
[01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:55.480]  and they say, well, you know, God's made some promises.
[01:31:56.080 --> 01:32:00.480]  We'll trust him to, uh, if, uh, we understand his promises, we'll trust him
[01:32:00.480 --> 01:32:05.200]  to deliver it miraculously if necessary, but we're not going to try
[01:32:05.200 --> 01:32:06.520]  to make it happen on our own.
[01:32:06.760 --> 01:32:08.760]  You know why there are Arab nations?
[01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:12.240]  Because Abraham, who nobody's perfect, right?
[01:32:12.240 --> 01:32:18.080]  Abraham made the mistake of thinking that, uh, you know, God had given him a promise
[01:32:18.080 --> 01:32:21.760]  and it's like, well, I don't see God, uh, fulfilling his side of the promise.
[01:32:21.760 --> 01:32:27.200]  And so, uh, he and Sarah decided that he would have a child with, uh, her maid.
[01:32:27.240 --> 01:32:30.040]  And that's how you get Ishmael for the longest time.
[01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:35.960]  Uh, you could see, um, in Western civilization in the, uh, the British
[01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:41.840]  and American, uh, they would refer to, um, Muslims as the Ishmaelites, right?
[01:32:42.240 --> 01:32:45.040]  Or they would talk about them being the Mohammedans or something like that.
[01:32:45.360 --> 01:32:50.160]  Long before they talked about Islamic this or that, uh, they were always Ishmaelites.
[01:32:51.280 --> 01:32:56.360]  You know, the very existence of the Ishmaelites, you know, the very existence
[01:32:56.840 --> 01:33:04.600]  of, um, the Arab nations is a testimony to the fact that, uh, you can misinterpret
[01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:09.960]  God's promises and you can take things into your own hands to try to make these
[01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:14.480]  things happen and you can create a world of problems.
[01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:19.360]  And that's basically, we can see that in the state, the nation state of
[01:33:19.400 --> 01:33:24.240]  Israel as well, the political state, taking this stuff into their own hands,
[01:33:24.440 --> 01:33:30.160]  becoming terrorists, becoming aggressors, becoming like the Germans that they fought.
[01:33:32.400 --> 01:33:33.720]  Graham put it in August.
[01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:39.120]  He said, if America pulls a plug on Israel, God will pull a plug on us.
[01:33:40.160 --> 01:33:43.400]  No, actually just the opposite.
[01:33:43.400 --> 01:33:46.920]  God will pull the plug on homosexuals like Ms.
[01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:47.480]  Lindsay.
[01:33:49.200 --> 01:33:53.240]  So, uh, Huckabee said the entire Middle East from the Euphrates
[01:33:53.240 --> 01:33:57.120]  river to the Nile be fine if the Israelites took it all.
[01:33:57.240 --> 01:34:02.200]  And this is one of the reasons why the entire world is set against us.
[01:34:02.200 --> 01:34:09.640]  Because again, you have a promise from God, the means, um, uh, that you use.
[01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:12.480]  First of all, you don't need to fulfill God's promises for him.
[01:34:13.480 --> 01:34:21.560]  Secondly, uh, the end does not justify the means and even people who don't
[01:34:21.560 --> 01:34:26.800]  even acknowledge the existence of God have a moral understanding about that.
[01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:30.080]  That's why there's so much pushback against the state of Israel.
[01:34:30.080 --> 01:34:35.200]  And their response is to censor everything, to censor speech, to censor
[01:34:35.200 --> 01:34:38.280]  protest, to accuse people of being racist.
[01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:44.920]  And so, uh, Lindsey Graham says, um, I'll be with Israel till our dying days.
[01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:46.880]  You know, that's exactly what he says.
[01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:50.640]  Who knows how long that's going to be anti-Seminites to all the
[01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:51.520]  Seminites.
[01:34:53.560 --> 01:34:54.160]  Forget it.
[01:34:54.200 --> 01:34:55.080]  I'm not with you.
[01:34:55.080 --> 01:34:55.840]  I'm with Israel.
[01:34:55.840 --> 01:34:58.120]  I will be with Israel to our dying day.
[01:34:58.360 --> 01:35:00.080]  They're the best ally we could hope for.
[01:35:00.080 --> 01:35:02.960]  So we have a commander chief and president Trump who I think
[01:35:02.960 --> 01:35:05.160]  is Ronald Reagan plus plus plus.
[01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:08.840]  What a childish idiot he is.
[01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:11.120]  He doesn't even know how to pronounce the name Israel.
[01:35:11.880 --> 01:35:13.480]  And he doesn't know what anti-Semite does.
[01:35:13.480 --> 01:35:14.760]  He doesn't know how to pronounce that either.
[01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:17.640]  He calls it anti-Seminarian or something, right?
[01:35:18.320 --> 01:35:22.280]  I guess I could say since I'm against this, uh, theology that I think they got it
[01:35:22.280 --> 01:35:26.080]  wrong and it's taught at most of the seminaries now in America, I guess I
[01:35:26.080 --> 01:35:32.000]  could say I'm an anti-Seminarian, uh, not an anti-Semite, but I'm an anti-Seminarian.
[01:35:32.360 --> 01:35:36.720]  I'll be careful what you, when you trust these people, do your own investigation.
[01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:40.640]  And so, uh, I think maybe we should start calling Lindsey.
[01:35:40.960 --> 01:35:42.400]  We should give them a new nickname.
[01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:44.240]  So I looked it up.
[01:35:44.280 --> 01:35:45.240]  I looked it up.
[01:35:45.240 --> 01:35:45.480]  I know.
[01:35:45.480 --> 01:35:51.080]  Is there some Hebrew word for that sounds like Lindsey that, um, I could use with
[01:35:51.080 --> 01:35:56.840]  this and it turns out there is one, uh, could call him Lenoy Graham Lenoy is
[01:35:56.840 --> 01:35:59.640]  Hebrew, which basically says you are mine.
[01:36:01.440 --> 01:36:03.400]  They own him lock, stock and barrel.
[01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:05.680]  And we know the price tag as well.
[01:36:06.160 --> 01:36:08.960]  Somebody needs to embroider that on his leather jacket.
[01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:11.760]  4.6 million dollars.
[01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:13.640]  That's the price tag of Lindsey Graham.
[01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:14.560]  We're going to take a quick break.
[01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:15.440]  We'll be right back.
[01:37:43.640 --> 01:38:13.400]  using free speech to
[01:38:13.400 --> 01:38:14.880]  free minds.
[01:38:15.080 --> 01:38:17.200]  It's the David Knight show.
[01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:28.600]  If you like the Eagles, the cars and Healey Lewis in the news, you'll
[01:38:28.600 --> 01:38:31.560]  love the classic hits channel at APS radio.
[01:38:31.640 --> 01:38:35.400]  Download our app or listen now at APS radio.com.
[01:38:37.480 --> 01:38:38.240]  Well, welcome back.
[01:38:38.240 --> 01:38:41.680]  I want to thank people who have a support us through cash app.
[01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:45.360]  I talked about the people on cell a couple of days ago, but I didn't
[01:38:45.360 --> 01:38:46.640]  get to the cash app people.
[01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:48.560]  Um, and let me thank them.
[01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:49.680]  You know, we put our show up.
[01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:51.400]  We don't have a firewall for it.
[01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:55.320]  We do have places where you can get the show without commercials.
[01:38:55.320 --> 01:39:00.360]  If you are a subscribe star supporter, uh, we post that up without commercials
[01:39:00.360 --> 01:39:02.040]  each day, the audio version of it.
[01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:07.200]  And, um, we have also done that on sub stack as well.
[01:39:07.600 --> 01:39:10.800]  And one of the reasons we did that was because, uh, putting up the free, the
[01:39:10.800 --> 01:39:14.040]  platform that we put it up on, uh, that a monetization thing.
[01:39:14.040 --> 01:39:16.000]  And it was pretty good.
[01:39:16.040 --> 01:39:18.440]  Um, when we first started, it wasn't obsessive.
[01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:24.120]  And then I didn't notice it for a while, but they started, um, adding tons
[01:39:24.120 --> 01:39:26.120]  and tons of commercials to it.
[01:39:26.560 --> 01:39:30.480]  And they just got too greedy and it really started hurting our viewership there.
[01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:36.080]  And so we finally got this set over so that, you know, for just $5 a month, you
[01:39:36.080 --> 01:39:38.240]  can get it without any commercials in it.
[01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:40.400]  Uh, but it did get excessive.
[01:39:40.400 --> 01:39:43.680]  And so for a while I was going through and pulling out the commercials and
[01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:48.080]  trying to find the spots where, uh, we had breaks and put some commercials in there.
[01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:52.800]  Uh, but, um, it just got to be too much time to do that.
[01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:56.960]  So we decided to be better if we set this up and let people get it commercial
[01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.000]  free for just $5 a month.
[01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:03.320]  And so we do that, uh, you know, that's the starting point at subscriptions
[01:40:03.320 --> 01:40:06.640]  at subscribe star, and you can do that on sub stack as well.
[01:40:07.600 --> 01:40:10.560]  And, uh, that winds up giving us more money than we get from all the
[01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:11.480]  commercials that are there.
[01:40:11.480 --> 01:40:15.640]  Anyway, most of the commercial money goes to the host that is there
[01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:16.840]  and they don't need anymore.
[01:40:16.840 --> 01:40:21.400]  I mean, they charge us a lot for posting and distributing the stuff every year.
[01:40:21.680 --> 01:40:24.000]  So I think they make enough money as it is, but of course they're
[01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:25.520]  always looking for more money.
[01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:30.200]  But, uh, anyway, I appreciate the fact that we have people voluntarily
[01:40:30.200 --> 01:40:34.760]  have supported the program and that's where the bulk of our support comes from.
[01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:36.760]  So let me thank the people on Cash App.
[01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:40.360]  And again, if you want to know how you can find the program, we have
[01:40:40.360 --> 01:40:42.040]  that at davidknight.news.
[01:40:42.040 --> 01:40:44.080]  And if you'd like to know how you can support the program,
[01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:46.120]  that is also there as well.
[01:40:46.520 --> 01:40:52.320]  Uh, so on Cash App, thank you to George W, to Dave W, to Todd H,
[01:40:52.720 --> 01:40:57.280]  Giana M, uh, William T and Dave W.
[01:40:57.280 --> 01:40:58.200]  Thank you so much.
[01:40:58.200 --> 01:41:02.240]  These are supporters for this month, uh, on Cash App so far.
[01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:07.480]  And, uh, right now we are at one eighth on the, uh, gas gauge.
[01:41:07.800 --> 01:41:11.600]  Um, pretty low, but we're doing better than the strategic petroleum reserve.
[01:41:13.360 --> 01:41:15.480]  I should say, but actually, no, they're up there.
[01:41:15.480 --> 01:41:19.080]  Their gas gauge is now, uh, with the latest release that they're doing,
[01:41:19.080 --> 01:41:20.960]  their gas gauge is at 33%.
[01:41:21.560 --> 01:41:26.080]  Uh, so they've only got 33% after they release this next, um, amount that
[01:41:26.080 --> 01:41:29.080]  they're about to release, uh, of their gas tank.
[01:41:29.080 --> 01:41:30.640]  So we'll see how that works.
[01:41:31.040 --> 01:41:33.920]  Um, meanwhile, let's talk about the Egonomics because that's really
[01:41:33.920 --> 01:41:34.600]  what this is about.
[01:41:34.640 --> 01:41:38.200]  Real quick, I'm gonna remind people that we do have some companies
[01:41:38.200 --> 01:41:39.800]  that see, support the show.
[01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:40.360]  Yes.
[01:41:40.400 --> 01:41:42.560]  And we want to make sure that we support them.
[01:41:43.240 --> 01:41:46.200]  And on sale at homesteadproducts.shop right now is their
[01:41:46.200 --> 01:41:48.480]  organic passion flower tea.

[01:42:08.440 --> 01:42:09.480]  Yeah, that's what I need too.
[01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:09.840]  Yeah.
[01:42:10.400 --> 01:42:13.040]  There's not much rest going on here, folks.
[01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:16.360]  Not much sleeping going on either.

[01:42:34.280 --> 01:42:34.640]  Yes.
[01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:38.160]  I had somebody ask me a day or two ago, you know, what kind of stuff,
[01:42:38.200 --> 01:42:40.040]  where should I get a storeable food?
[01:42:40.040 --> 01:42:41.600]  It's like, take a look at what they've got.
[01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:44.520]  They've got a lot of Friedstride stuff that's really high quality.
[01:42:44.920 --> 01:42:49.680]  And, you know, it's not a bunch of starch and, you know, things like that.
[01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:54.680]  And, you can support like-minded people who are also out there
[01:42:54.680 --> 01:42:58.320]  trying to make a living and they've got some great quality stuff, tastes
[01:42:58.320 --> 01:43:01.560]  great, great nutrition, and it's freeze dried and it's going to
[01:43:01.560 --> 01:43:02.920]  last a long time as well.
[01:43:03.520 --> 01:43:07.360]  Well, let's take a look at the Egonomics, the ego of Trump.
[01:43:08.080 --> 01:43:13.160]  This is an ex Goldman commodity guy and he was running the commodity
[01:43:13.160 --> 01:43:15.120]  branch of investments for Goldman Sachs.
[01:43:15.120 --> 01:43:21.080]  He said, no policy response can meaningfully reverse oil prices
[01:43:21.800 --> 01:43:23.120]  in the near term, he said.
[01:43:23.600 --> 01:43:30.160]  So the, whatever happens with a straight or four moves, it's not going to make
[01:43:30.160 --> 01:43:34.880]  much difference and then the long-term, you know, Trump wants to cut and run
[01:43:34.920 --> 01:43:38.520]  at this point in time because they don't want to get a long drawn out thing.
[01:43:38.920 --> 01:43:42.800]  They want to declare victory and say they've achieved their goals, but they
[01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:48.760]  haven't and they want to do regime change, then he will get us drawn
[01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:51.000]  into a quagmire of quicksand.
[01:43:51.400 --> 01:43:56.520]  But the bottom line is that the Iranians want to keep us there.
[01:43:56.760 --> 01:44:00.600]  The longer they keep us there, the more painful this becomes for the
[01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:03.560]  politicians who initiated this act of aggression.
[01:44:04.160 --> 01:44:08.400]  He said the system simply cannot accommodate such a shock, leading to
[01:44:08.400 --> 01:44:13.840]  extreme hoarding, upward price pressure, and potential inflation spillovers.
[01:44:14.080 --> 01:44:17.680]  Yeah, we saw how this all worked with the OPEC Golden Bargain, the drag
[01:44:17.720 --> 01:44:22.880]  and the stagflation as Gerald Slinty has been talking about this for quite some
[01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:26.080]  time, he said, this will be dragflation.
[01:44:26.520 --> 01:44:29.960]  And he was saying that even before the trigger became this
[01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:32.120]  insanely stupid Middle East war.
[01:44:32.400 --> 01:44:36.880]  He was saying just based on all the quantitative easing, the easy money and
[01:44:36.880 --> 01:44:41.160]  the low interest rates and the other things that the government had already
[01:44:41.160 --> 01:44:43.640]  done, he was predicting dragflation.
[01:44:44.160 --> 01:44:48.680]  But when we go back and then add to it, essentially an OPEC oil embargo to
[01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:52.160]  kick this whole thing off as a trigger, it's going to be very severe, I think.
[01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:57.480]  He says, going back to the Goldman guy in terms of oil, he said, no effective
[01:44:57.480 --> 01:45:03.440]  policy response from governments, from any strategic petroleum reserve release
[01:45:03.480 --> 01:45:08.080]  or from any other interventions can halt or meaningfully reverse the upward
[01:45:08.080 --> 01:45:13.320]  trajectory of oil prices, which the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted.
[01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:15.440]  And remains blocked.
[01:45:15.440 --> 01:45:20.360]  He said, risks to global energy supply chains are at unprecedented highs.
[01:45:20.840 --> 01:45:22.360]  Market optimism versus reality.
[01:45:22.360 --> 01:45:26.040]  He said, financial markets appear to be wildly optimistic,
[01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:29.760]  embedding against prolonged disruption.
[01:45:29.800 --> 01:45:32.680]  And we saw this, you know, what, what did it take?
[01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:38.120]  It took a fake tweet from the secretary of energy, Chris Wright.
[01:45:38.920 --> 01:45:42.960]  He said, yeah, we're now escorting, our Navy is now escorting people
[01:45:42.960 --> 01:45:50.480]  through the Strait of Hormuz and boom, the oil prices dropped like 10%.
[01:45:51.560 --> 01:45:56.720]  The WTI as the, as well as the Brit crude, and it was all based on a lie.
[01:45:57.400 --> 01:46:00.320]  But even after people said, no, I don't see that happening.
[01:46:00.320 --> 01:46:04.720]  And after the Trump administration admitted that that was wrong and had him
[01:46:04.720 --> 01:46:09.240]  take that tweet down, then they still went down that path.
[01:46:09.240 --> 01:46:11.000]  I mean, they're wildly optimistic.
[01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:14.840]  As he pointed out, they're completely detached from reality.
[01:46:15.440 --> 01:46:17.920]  They want to believe what they want to believe.
[01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:22.440]  Um, he also emphasized the revenge of the old economy theme.
[01:46:22.960 --> 01:46:27.160]  He said, um, when you look at hard assets, particularly energy, things like oil
[01:46:27.160 --> 01:46:32.000]  and natural gas and metals, uh, whether it's copper and base or precious metals
[01:46:32.000 --> 01:46:36.960]  like gold and silver, agriculture, other real physical commodities, they're
[01:46:37.000 --> 01:46:43.040]  entering or reasserting a commodity super cycle driven by things like chronic
[01:46:43.080 --> 01:46:45.600]  underinvestment in traditional supply chains.
[01:46:46.040 --> 01:46:49.400]  Oil and metals have been substantially under invested for years, he said.
[01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:55.040]  And then there's structural demand shifts of AI data centers and energy needs.
[01:46:55.040 --> 01:47:00.640]  I mean, we've got this massive, um, new energy, uh, consumer coming
[01:47:00.640 --> 01:47:02.280]  online with the AI data centers.
[01:47:02.280 --> 01:47:04.480]  And, you know, that's the reality of it.
[01:47:04.480 --> 01:47:07.400]  I don't like the AI data centers, but that's the reality of it.
[01:47:07.880 --> 01:47:08.720]  What they're going to do with it.
[01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:14.640]  Capital rotation from tech, uh, uh, and to, uh, finance and financial
[01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:16.880]  assets into things that are real.
[01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:20.800]  He said he's going to, we're going to see that hoarding and strategic stockpiling
[01:47:21.280 --> 01:47:26.000]  by nations like China and India, amplifying the upside and physical
[01:47:26.040 --> 01:47:31.400]  commodities and then geopolitical security factors overriding efficiency.
[01:47:32.040 --> 01:47:36.320]  Just in case stockpiling, which was what we've had versus, uh, just in
[01:47:36.320 --> 01:47:39.680]  time, which was what we've had just in time, but now they're going to start
[01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:42.280]  stockpiling more in terms of just in case.
[01:47:42.840 --> 01:47:45.040]  So this chaos has been released.
[01:47:45.560 --> 01:47:46.840]  It's getting everybody paranoid.
[01:47:47.240 --> 01:47:50.600]  And so people are going to start hoarding stuff as they always do with an emergency.
[01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:58.520]  Even if it's a manmade problem like this, he said, um, the tangible old economy,
[01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:04.280]  physical companies and sectors are going to, um, uh, start on the rise again.
[01:48:04.280 --> 01:48:08.200]  He said, amid political geopolitical shocks, like disruptions and straight
[01:48:08.200 --> 01:48:14.000]  of her moves, every major inflection point over the past 50 years has triggered
[01:48:14.000 --> 01:48:19.200]  a capital rotation from asset light sectors like tech, uh, which is now
[01:48:19.200 --> 01:48:24.800]  53% of the stock standard and pores to asset heavy sectors.
[01:48:25.640 --> 01:48:30.440]  He said, um, uh, they wrongly priced energy is declining and they
[01:48:30.440 --> 01:48:33.120]  priced tech as perpetual.
[01:48:34.200 --> 01:48:38.960]  So he said, commodities, energies, metal, um, and mining and infrastructure,
[01:48:39.040 --> 01:48:43.640]  things like pipelines, railroads, utilities, other real assets are what
[01:48:43.640 --> 01:48:47.200]  people are going to start looking for right now, uh, once the bombs start
[01:48:47.200 --> 01:48:48.640]  flying, things start to get real.
[01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:54.600]  So oil prices jump, stocks dump as two oil tankers explode in Persian Gulf.
[01:48:55.200 --> 01:48:56.200]  That's what happened yesterday.
[01:48:56.800 --> 01:49:01.160]  And then Hezbollah hit Israel with the largest missile attack of the war.
[01:49:02.120 --> 01:49:06.680]  I guess that was an answer to the boasting of war Pete saying,
[01:49:06.680 --> 01:49:09.720]  Oh, you just wait, you know, on a Wednesday, we're going to Tuesday,
[01:49:09.720 --> 01:49:13.720]  whatever the day was because they have a, you know, the timeframe is so much different.
[01:49:14.040 --> 01:49:16.440]  He said, we're going to have the biggest barrage you've ever seen.
[01:49:17.520 --> 01:49:22.160]  And so what happened was, um, the allies of Iran, Hezbollah and Lebanon
[01:49:22.800 --> 01:49:26.160]  unleashed their biggest barrage and answer to that.
[01:49:26.760 --> 01:49:32.800]  And so probably both sides were unleashing the biggest number of death from the sky.
[01:49:33.400 --> 01:49:40.000]  So, um, we were told that Iran was out of missiles and yet they had the biggest
[01:49:40.000 --> 01:49:45.320]  barrage yet largest wave of missiles since the hostilities began those launched
[01:49:45.320 --> 01:49:47.480]  into Northern Israel by Hezbollah.
[01:49:48.320 --> 01:49:54.440]  Um, and so war Pete was boasting about the biggest day of the war on his side was
[01:49:54.440 --> 01:49:57.880]  coming, then it turned out that I guess it was incoming.
[01:49:59.840 --> 01:50:01.040]  He actually misspoke, I guess.
[01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:03.120]  I kind of like Lindsey Graham.
[01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:07.160]  Um, president of Iran has demanded reparations and guarantees
[01:50:07.160 --> 01:50:08.400]  against future aggression.
[01:50:09.120 --> 01:50:11.720]  Trump says the war with Iran will end soon.
[01:50:12.400 --> 01:50:15.400]  As he said, there's practically nothing left to target.
[01:50:16.240 --> 01:50:21.560]  Uh, yet, um, U S and Israeli officials plan at least two more weeks of strikes.
[01:50:22.080 --> 01:50:25.000]  Even though he says we've destroyed everything, they're still going to do
[01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:26.360]  it for another two or three weeks.
[01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:27.040]  Right.
[01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:31.080]  I mean, that was the, that's if you go with their initial timeframe,
[01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:35.920]  which is four to five weeks, they said, then Pete Hex has said, uh, doubled that.
[01:50:36.320 --> 01:50:37.360]  I don't know, eight to 10 weeks.
[01:50:37.360 --> 01:50:37.920]  I don't know.
[01:50:38.280 --> 01:50:41.280]  And then somebody said, uh, they were told by a source inside the Trump
[01:50:41.280 --> 01:50:44.600]  administration, they've been told to plan for September.
[01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:45.200]  What is it?
[01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:49.360]  We don't know because we still can't get an answer from them as to what
[01:50:49.360 --> 01:50:52.120]  their objective is, other than it's vaguely defined.
[01:50:52.120 --> 01:50:54.680]  We want to make sure they don't ever produce nuclear weapons and we
[01:50:54.680 --> 01:50:55.760]  want to change the regime.
[01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:59.240]  And it's like, those are both fools errands, right?
[01:50:59.240 --> 01:51:00.920]  You're jousting at windmills.
[01:51:00.920 --> 01:51:03.680]  You can't accomplish either one of those goals.
[01:51:03.840 --> 01:51:06.720]  The way he talks about it, you know, there's nothing left to target shows
[01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:09.280]  a very narrow and myopic view of things as well.
[01:51:09.280 --> 01:51:10.960]  A country is not buildings.
[01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:13.280]  A country is not statues.
[01:51:14.120 --> 01:51:15.680]  The country is the people.
[01:51:16.080 --> 01:51:19.560]  And if the Iranian people want to fight, you know, they'll fight.
[01:51:20.080 --> 01:51:22.880]  You'll have to fight them until there are none left.
[01:51:23.080 --> 01:51:23.520]  That's right.
[01:51:23.960 --> 01:51:27.000]  And they have motivated them to fight at this point.
[01:51:27.360 --> 01:51:31.200]  As night fell across the Middle East, Hezbollah launched a huge wave of
[01:51:31.200 --> 01:51:34.520]  at least 150 rockets on Northern Israel.
[01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:38.000]  Marked the largest Hezbollah attack on Israel since hostilities
[01:51:38.000 --> 01:51:39.560]  intensified earlier this month.
[01:51:40.320 --> 01:51:43.840]  It's followed by reports that two oil tankers have been hit by explosive
[01:51:43.840 --> 01:51:46.200]  boats and were on fire in the Persian Gulf.
[01:51:46.680 --> 01:51:48.240]  I showed that to you earlier.
[01:51:48.680 --> 01:51:49.960]  This is what it looked like there.
[01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:55.600]  They said two foreign tankers carrying Iraqi fuel oil have been subjected to
[01:51:55.640 --> 01:52:00.560]  unidentified attacks within Iraqi territorial water, causing both vessels to
[01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:06.360]  catch fire again, this is not in the strait, this is in Iraqi territorial water.
[01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:10.680]  Authorities have successfully evacuated 25 crew members from the two ships,
[01:52:11.280 --> 01:52:14.440]  but the fires have remained ablaze on both vessels.
[01:52:15.160 --> 01:52:18.800]  One tanker, which was flying a foreign flag is believed to be American.
[01:52:19.440 --> 01:52:22.640]  The attack took place within Iraq's territorial waters.
[01:52:22.840 --> 01:52:23.520]  Just remember that.
[01:52:24.160 --> 01:52:29.600]  So perhaps the area is not as safe as Trump said it was, comments Zero Hedge.
[01:52:30.240 --> 01:52:32.240]  Meanwhile, oil prices are surging higher.
[01:52:33.120 --> 01:52:36.920]  So it's back up above $91.
[01:52:36.920 --> 01:52:38.600]  Actually, I checked it this morning.
[01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:40.680]  It was $97.
[01:52:41.640 --> 01:52:45.840]  It had gotten down into the 80s because of the false information and the
[01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:50.800]  irrational exuberance of Wall Street, wanting to believe that the US
[01:52:50.800 --> 01:52:52.280]  government knew what it was doing.
[01:52:53.040 --> 01:52:58.400]  It jumped 20% higher, says Zero Hedge, than the previous day's lows.
[01:52:59.240 --> 01:53:00.000]  Very volatile.
[01:53:00.520 --> 01:53:03.840]  Shortly after the spike in crude oil, the Department of Energy sent out the
[01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:08.080]  following statement, the United States is going to release 172 million barrels
[01:53:08.080 --> 01:53:10.320]  of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve.
[01:53:11.040 --> 01:53:16.240]  Well, the strategic petroleum reserve in the US is 714 million barrels.
[01:53:16.800 --> 01:53:23.920]  Now the one that the IEA has, which encompasses European nations, and also
[01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:29.240]  you throw in Australia and New Zealand, South Korea and Japan, and the US and
[01:53:29.240 --> 01:53:34.200]  Canada, and then the rest of it is European nations, that amounts to 1.2
[01:53:34.240 --> 01:53:38.840]  billion, which again, if it's just, if it's 32 different countries, that's
[01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:44.280]  not a lot of a strategic reserve, but we went into this, we didn't have our
[01:53:44.280 --> 01:53:49.880]  gas tank full, it wasn't 714, but it was 414 that we had.
[01:53:50.280 --> 01:53:56.360]  Our tank was 58% full when we went into this, and now they're starting to
[01:53:56.360 --> 01:53:58.720]  release 172 million barrels.
[01:53:59.480 --> 01:54:03.040]  So you take that out and that gets us down to 242 million.
[01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:09.640]  That is about a third of what the capacity is for the strategic petroleum reserve.
[01:54:09.640 --> 01:54:12.800]  And again, the Republicans all say, well, what about Biden?
[01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:15.800]  You know, he dumped this stuff out just so he could look good at the pump.
[01:54:16.280 --> 01:54:17.560]  It wasn't any emergency.
[01:54:17.600 --> 01:54:18.520]  And you're absolutely right.
[01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:23.560]  And yet, why didn't Trump, as he was bragging about low oil prices, and he
[01:54:23.560 --> 01:54:25.880]  said they were lower than they really were, why didn't he fill it up?
[01:54:26.960 --> 01:54:27.800]  When he had the chance.
[01:54:28.120 --> 01:54:30.960]  And if he's going to start a war, why didn't he fill it up again?
[01:54:31.200 --> 01:54:35.920]  This is all based on this fantasy that they had sold themselves, that
[01:54:35.920 --> 01:54:36.840]  it's going to be in and out.
[01:54:36.880 --> 01:54:38.680]  It's going to be quick, just like Venezuela.
[01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:43.880]  So the president of Iran said the only way to end this war is to recognize
[01:54:43.880 --> 01:54:50.280]  Iran's legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm international
[01:54:50.280 --> 01:54:53.080]  guarantees against future aggression.
[01:54:54.080 --> 01:54:58.680]  So Hexeth said, we saw the most fighters, the most bombers, the
[01:54:58.680 --> 01:55:00.200]  most strikes of the war yet.
[01:55:01.880 --> 01:55:06.440]  And the result of that was to send the price of everything higher.
[01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:10.160]  As this guy is idiot, rebels and carnage.
[01:55:10.960 --> 01:55:11.920]  Who knew?
[01:55:12.400 --> 01:55:16.920]  So Trump says the US took out just about all of Iran's mine ships.
[01:55:17.920 --> 01:55:21.040]  And then oil reversed its lower position.
[01:55:21.480 --> 01:55:24.560]  Then Trump says oil companies should use the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:55:25.480 --> 01:55:26.720]  It extends the drop.
[01:55:27.360 --> 01:55:31.360]  Then Trump promises great safety for oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:55:32.080 --> 01:55:33.000]  Further drop.
[01:55:34.160 --> 01:55:37.920]  Then at some point we realized that all that stuff he was saying and his
[01:55:37.920 --> 01:55:39.640]  administration was saying, it just lies.
[01:55:40.520 --> 01:55:42.080]  And it jumps by 20%.
[01:55:43.200 --> 01:55:48.400]  As volatility, all of this is in the lap of Donald Trump.
[01:55:49.320 --> 01:55:53.240]  That's what happens when markets realize that Trump always lies.
[01:55:53.960 --> 01:55:56.080]  They need to start to factor that in.
[01:55:56.440 --> 01:55:59.920]  The most significant development in Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was
[01:55:59.920 --> 01:56:02.040]  the start of Naval mining operations.
[01:56:02.680 --> 01:56:07.680]  It was met with massive US firepower that destroyed 16 mine laying vessels.
[01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:12.400]  But the people who are commenting on this say they still have about 80%
[01:56:12.440 --> 01:56:17.160]  of their mine laying vessels and they don't even need to lay mines in order
[01:56:17.160 --> 01:56:19.320]  to make the route impassable.
[01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:24.560]  They destroyed these two tankers in Iraqi waters with drones.
[01:56:25.160 --> 01:56:27.320]  There's a lot of different things that they can use.
[01:56:27.920 --> 01:56:33.640]  Since the Houthis have produced drones under bombardment, one would think that
[01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:36.840]  the Iranians could also do the same thing, right?
[01:56:37.680 --> 01:56:42.280]  So this longstanding war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia and the
[01:56:42.280 --> 01:56:46.360]  Houthis kept producing these drones, even as they were getting shelled by
[01:56:46.360 --> 01:56:51.840]  the Saudis who have the expensive weapons that we make, but they kept up production.
[01:56:52.600 --> 01:56:54.240]  Ukraine has kept up production.
[01:56:54.840 --> 01:56:58.360]  You don't think that Iran can keep up production with this stuff?
[01:56:59.560 --> 01:57:06.200]  So that was a research fellow at UK based Royal United Services Institute.
[01:57:06.480 --> 01:57:10.160]  The Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi Arabia's kill to cost ratio,
[01:57:11.160 --> 01:57:17.720]  neutralizing $20,000 drones from Iran with $2 million plus missiles has spurred
[01:57:17.720 --> 01:57:23.280]  talks with a Ukrainian counter drone company for cheaper interceptor drones.
[01:57:24.000 --> 01:57:29.280]  Yeah, there is a huge, it's not only the fact that these interceptors are a lot
[01:57:29.280 --> 01:57:33.000]  more expensive than what they're trying to kill, but you got to use several of them.
[01:57:33.320 --> 01:57:36.800]  Typically two to three of them for each of these incoming missiles, because
[01:57:36.800 --> 01:57:38.600]  it's a difficult problem to solve.
[01:57:39.560 --> 01:57:44.200]  And so War Pete boasted that the most intense phase of US
[01:57:44.200 --> 01:57:45.760]  strikes was expected on Wednesday.
[01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:50.320]  Tehran responded with retaliatory strikes against Gulf neighbors and the
[01:57:50.320 --> 01:57:53.120]  most number of missiles fired into Israel.
[01:57:54.200 --> 01:57:59.480]  So Trump and his advisors have miscalculated Iran's response to the war completely.
[01:58:00.200 --> 01:58:04.120]  In the lead up, Trump downplayed the risk to the energy markets of a short
[01:58:04.120 --> 01:58:07.920]  term concern that should not overshadow the mission.
[01:58:07.920 --> 01:58:09.600]  They just completely disregarded that.
[01:58:09.880 --> 01:58:11.120]  We don't have to worry about the price of oil.
[01:58:11.400 --> 01:58:12.880]  We don't have to worry about the straight of our moves.
[01:58:13.800 --> 01:58:19.640]  It's set aside the morality as well, but they also set aside the
[01:58:19.640 --> 01:58:25.360]  practicality and the planning and the results are going to be seen.
[01:58:25.360 --> 01:58:29.640]  On February the 18th, Trump weighed about whether or not attacks on Iran,
[01:58:30.040 --> 01:58:35.360]  his energy secretary, the same guy that falsely moved the markets worldwide with
[01:58:35.360 --> 01:58:39.000]  lies about the Navy escorting people through the straight of our moves.
[01:58:39.360 --> 01:58:43.080]  Chris Wright, the energy secretary, told an interviewer that he wasn't
[01:58:43.080 --> 01:58:47.760]  concerned with the looming war would disrupt oil supplies in the Middle East
[01:58:48.440 --> 01:58:50.240]  and wreak havoc in energy markets.
[01:58:50.480 --> 01:58:53.560]  How does this guy have any credibility whatsoever?
[01:58:53.640 --> 01:58:57.720]  As a matter of fact, how did these people with Trump administration
[01:58:58.000 --> 01:59:00.600]  who are playing these games, they need to get some more floor
[01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:05.480]  Shime shoes that fit or the shoe fits and they should wear it.
[01:59:06.480 --> 01:59:07.520]  Thank you for joining us.
[01:59:07.560 --> 01:59:08.160]  Have a good day.
[01:59:31.600 --> 01:59:32.400]  The common man.
[01:59:35.720 --> 01:59:38.320]  They created common core and dumbed down our children.
[01:59:38.800 --> 01:59:43.680]  They created common past to track and control us their commons project to
[01:59:43.680 --> 01:59:48.360]  make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[01:59:49.800 --> 01:59:55.120]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of
[01:59:55.120 --> 01:59:58.920]  us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:00:01.280 --> 02:00:02.680]  That is what we have in common.
[02:00:03.240 --> 02:00:04.960]  That is what they want to take away.
[02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:10.120]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
[02:00:10.880 --> 02:00:15.560]  They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
[02:00:16.440 --> 02:00:20.080]  It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
