0:36early. Thank you for joining us Paul.
0:39Melody Hart, welcome.
0:42Thank you Melody for joining us today
0:44and every Thank you for joining us this
0:46week and every week we do this because I
0:48believe you've been here with us almost
0:50since the beginning which is over a year
0:52ago. [clears throat and cough]
0:54I haven't been keeping track, but I
0:56noticed in StreamYard we have over 50 of
0:58these episodes. So, I know we've been
1:00doing it for over a year. Thank you,
1:01Melody.
1:03Everyone, let us know where you're
1:05watching from as as the stream warms up
1:08here. This today's show is called
1:10London's War on Trump. Why Carney is
1:13terrified of the Moscow pivot. Well, I
1:16don't know if anyone knows exactly why
1:19Radcliffe went over there. We have a lot
1:21of speculation. Barbara is going to
1:23discuss more of that in just a moment.
1:29Thank you. Wow, we're getting love from
1:31all over the world right now. Thank you
1:33everyone. Okay. Um Barbara, why don't
1:36you take it Why don't you take it from
1:38here? What do you want our audience to
1:40know about what's going on?
1:42>> Well, we've got a very dangerous beast
1:44actually cornered. And you know, you
Barbara’s Open: The Beast Is Cornered
1:47know, basically that they're cornered
1:49because they're out in the open. You've
1:51got uh the Canadians talking about
1:54actually attacking um using
1:57psychological warfare the American
1:59population over uh the uh ahead of the
2:03midterms. Uh you've got basically all
2:07sorts of speculation about why John
2:09Radcliffe flew over to Moscow. It's
2:12occurring in the midst of a whole crazy
2:15operation where uh the Europeans and the
2:19UK are trying to win the war with Russia
2:22which can't be won by increasingly
2:25forcing uh Russia into a stance where it
2:28might have to actually uh do some
2:31limited attacks on NATO. Now the Wall
2:34Street Journal this morning says that's
2:36what the whole thing was about. I really
2:39don't think so because when Donald Trump
2:41did his interview with Glenn Beck, he
2:44didn't say what it was about because
2:45he's not going to tell us. We're not
2:47going to learn what it was really all
2:48about probably maybe even in our
2:51lifetimes. But I note that this morning
2:55uh you know the Russian government
2:57announced that Putin would be meeting
2:59with the president of Iran in Kyrgyzstan
3:02next week. So there's multiple things
3:05which are going on here in the back
3:07channel which are very delicate things.
3:11Um [clears throat] but the danger is
3:13real because these people are living in
3:16a crazy world. They're they're basically
3:18delusional and they think number one
3:21that they can win the war against Russia
3:24by actually just pushing them further
3:26and further and further. That's not
3:28going to work and it could provoke
3:30exactly the things which people are
3:31talking about. uh you know you you can't
3:34keep attacking civilian infrastructure
3:36with drones made in the UK or giving
3:39intelligence how to actually uh you know
3:43uh attack from the UK and Russia just
3:47sits there and says okay we'll be
3:48patient with this. They've blown up uh
3:51you know all of the a significant amount
3:53of civilian infrastructure uh including
3:56the equussian equivalent of Amazon. Um,
4:00you know, so this is all designed to put
4:03Putin up against the wall. It's a
4:05dangerous game because they should have
4:07learned from World War II that you don't
4:09do that with the Russians. You just
4:11don't do that with the Russians. Uh,
4:14you'll pay for it. So, that's point
4:16number one. Point number two is on the
4:18economy. We have G20 and Jackson Hall
4:22both under this weekend and the
4:25Bloomberg had, you know, kind of defined
4:28the thing on the front page this
4:31morning. They had two big pieces
Bloomberg Wants a Reset
4:34juxtaposed. One of them said, okay,
4:38Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant
4:41desperately needs a reset.
4:44Okay. The other one uh which was down a
4:48little bit further said exactly the same
4:51thing
4:52about Kevin Worse at the Fed. Now why
4:56are they so totally flipped out? Because
4:59for the first time, you know, since the
5:02Federal Reserve was, you know, put upon
5:06us, you're seeing a Fed chief and a
5:08Treasury Secretary who are saying,
5:10"Okay, we're going to reorganize the
5:12whole thing and we're going to make
5:14credit uh to actual building things and
5:18industry and community banks and not to
5:21Wall Street and speculation." So, that's
5:25what they're freaked out about. That's
5:26Bloomberg. Okay, understand what that
5:29is. That along with the Wall Street
5:30Journal is the House organ. Uh, and
5:33they're completely flipping out. So,
5:36we're going to explore a lot of that.
5:38And in the meantime, the administration
5:40is plowing right ahead. And Susan is
5:43going to go into that uh in just a
5:44little bit, as well as talking about why
5:46these idiots in Canada blew up the trade
5:49talks to actually try and create a
5:52problem around the midterms.
5:55>> Yes. Uh look, I think what people have
Susan: The Midterms Are Economic War
5:58to have clearly in mind, uh especially
6:01as we are now in the 80 plus day to the
6:04midterms, much less when you start
6:06counting absentee ballots going out, uh
6:09is that we're in a war. Uh the primary
6:13battlefield is economic warfare. And
6:15that is what those two Bloomberg
6:17headlines reflected because they're
6:20using a term which reflects the fact
6:24that they know something very very big
6:28is happening. They know the oligarchy,
6:31the city of London, the British Empire,
6:33they know that this administration
6:36knows just how big this economic battle
6:39is. And uh Scott Bessant gave you a
6:42little bit of a hint of that when he was
6:45discussing
6:47uh the uh the the new sanction regime,
6:50the economic D-Day, Operation Economic
6:54Outcast that we've launched against
6:56Iran. Uh so I'm going to have Adam play
7:00a short clip. The first part of the clip
7:02just gives a sense of the scope of what
7:05this administration is doing visav other
7:08countries. uh and their ties to Iran.
7:11But I want you to listen very carefully
7:13to what Bessant says at the very end of
7:15this clip.
7:25Teams from Treasury, State, US military.
7:32Teams from Treasury, State, and the US
7:36military are now meeting with their
7:38global counterparts to tell them that
7:40the United States expects action. Every
7:44country has a defined timeline to shut
7:47down activities we have identified. If
7:49they do not take action, we will do so
7:52unilaterally through Treasury
7:54authorities. For example, every branch
7:58of Bank Mele must be shuttered and dark.
8:03And let me be clear, any entity that
8:06facilitates money laundering on behalf
8:08of Iran
8:10will be removed from the US dollar
8:13system.
8:14>> So why not impose the sanctions today?
8:19Well, we we are giving everyone the
8:21opportunity the to remedy bad behavior.
8:25Why would I want to blow up the global
Bessent: Don’t Blow Up the System
8:27financial system?
8:30Okay, there you have it. Just think
8:33about what he just said that if you go
8:36after these dark money operations which
8:39have been financing Iran through the
8:42Cayman Islands through Hong Kong through
8:45the city of London through all of these
8:47shell oper operations and yes China is
8:50part of it but there is an entire
8:52western side of this which is why he
8:55said if you just pulled the plug on this
8:57and went cold turkey on this whole dark
9:01money operation
9:02you would collapse the world financial
9:05system. And he's right because the
9:07current world financial system is run on
9:10criminality.
9:12That is the that is the essence. That's
9:14the species identification
9:17of this British financier system. So
9:21everything that this administration is
9:23doing I think is very conscious of the
9:26fact that we are in we have been living
9:28inside a criminal financial
9:30architecture. Federal Reserve has been
9:33part of it going back to 1913. But this
9:36thing really metastasized in the 1990s
9:39when we deregulated whatever was left of
9:42any protection either of our
9:44manufacturing or of our financial
9:46system. that you have this gigantic
9:49criminal I mean it's it's technically
9:52not criminal it's morally criminal
9:55financial system that this
9:57administration is now in a war with and
10:01Scott Bessant is taking very very
10:04deliberate and strategic steps in terms
10:07of how you begin to diffuse this and how
10:10you begin to disentangle
10:13the United States from this system but
10:16that was a really shocking statement if
10:18you let it sink in that by simply going
10:21after this actual criminal activity of
10:26supporting Iran, you would bring down
10:28the world financial system, which tells
10:30you a lot about the world financial
10:32system. But I think that underscores the
10:35point that I made. We are in a war.
10:38Please do not think about the midterms
10:39[clears throat]
10:40from the standpoint of political
10:42preferences.
10:44We are in a war. We know it. this
10:46administration knows it and um uh the
10:51the enemy whether it's uh Mark Carney uh
10:56using Canada north of here or the
10:59Europeans, the British and so on, they
11:02know it as well. Uh so uh and and uh
11:06Mark Carney's industry minister uh who
11:09not surprisingly trained in Oxford I
11:13believe I I can't remember most of these
11:15guys have been road scholars so she was
11:17probably one of them uh Melanie Jolie
Joly Is Targeting States
11:20she made very clear what they are doing.
11:23Go ahead, Adam.
11:26>> For a second,
11:32>> for a second, we're also targeting
11:34products that will target states in the
11:37US. And so, we're being wise and
11:40strategic to put political pressure. And
11:43that's why we think it's the right thing
11:45to do right now. And
11:47>> okay, she just let it right out. We are
11:51politically targeting these tariffs to
11:55dam polit to economically damage
11:58particular states for political reasons.
12:03Now I'm I'm in in ground zero here in
12:06Michigan because of the way that supply
12:09chains have been entangled with Canada
12:12over the previous period under NAFTA and
12:15even under the USMCA which this
12:17administration is in the process of
12:19pulling out. There is a lot of
12:22dislocation in Michigan. It takes time
12:25to reshore your supply lines to get your
12:27entire supply chains over on this side
12:29of the border. there is going to be a
12:31huge disruption and there is going to be
12:34political pain. That's precisely why
12:36they are doing what they are doing. But
The Bulk-Power Emergency
12:39again, I come back to the fact that this
12:40administration understands the nature of
12:43this war. And yesterday, uh, the
12:45president announced a new emergency
12:48declaration, Adam, you can pull that up.
12:51Which, um, I think again makes clear
12:55that this administration knows this is a
12:58war and we're under attack. Uh yesterday
13:01the president declared a national
13:03emergency
13:05to secure America's bulk power system
13:08from foreign sources. Now he's taken
13:11previous actions to secure our domestic
13:14grid both in terms of energy supply and
13:18in terms of vulnerabilities within the
13:20grid. But this is different. This is
13:22aimed at the bulk power that we get from
13:25other countries. What is one of the
13:27countries that we get bulk power from?
13:29duh, Canada. Uh, it's not a huge amount
13:33overall, but when you look at particular
13:36sections of the country like New
13:38England, like Minnesota, like North uh,
13:42uh, North Dakota, um, Maine, they are
13:46extremely extremely reliant on bulk
13:49power from Canada, whose industry
13:51minister just said, "We're carrying out
13:53economic and political warfare against
13:56the United States." So, this is one of
13:58the president's actions. I think very
14:00very much in response to that. So what I
14:03want to leave people with in the opening
14:06is just this single idea. This is not a
14:10political midterm.
14:12This is the final phase of warfare
14:15between the British imperial system and
14:17the American system. And everybody
14:20watching this today and everybody who
14:22watches it subsequently better be
14:25organizing their lives for the next 80
14:27days from the standpoint that we are
14:30fighting a war.
14:34>> Thank you Susan. Thank you Barbara. And
14:37thank you to everyone tuning in right
14:39now on YouTube and x.com. Thank you to
14:42our vertical. So, I should have
14:45mentioned this before again, just to let
14:46everyone know, we are running two
14:48streams on YouTube. I have both a
14:51vertical stream and a traditional
14:52widescreen television format. If you
14:55just go to our channel, you'll see both
14:58streams are broadcasting and you can
15:00switch between either one. So, thank you
15:03both of our YouTube guys. Uh, guys and
15:06gals, thank you for tuning in. And let
15:08me get to some super chats right here.
15:10So, Mike says, "I absolutely love these
15:12two ladies. Keep up the good work, Susan
15:14and Barbara. Thank you very much, Mike,
15:17for joining us. Please make sure you're
15:19subscribed to the channel. Our next
15:21political update is going to be on
15:23Saturday. Thank you. Thank you for
15:25joining us today. Danny, thank you for
15:28joining us again today, Danny. We need
15:29to finish this war. The war with Iran is
15:33a proxy war with the crown. It's a
15:35direct war between Donald and Charles.
15:37And Charles can't fight, so he brings in
15:40the clown. How do we get rid of Carney?
Freeland, Midnight, and the System
15:46>> Well, that's I mean, you're you're spot
15:48on right in terms of your assessment.
15:51Uh, but I don't even think that it's
15:53Carney per se because I think you we
15:56just have to be very very cognizant of
15:58the fact that this is an entire system.
16:01And if in fact if you look at how the
16:04last days of these trade negotiations
16:07between the United States and Canada
16:08played out, you might you might come to
16:11the conclusion that somebody other than
16:13Carney is actually calling the shots
16:17because uh a week ago Tuesday uh Trump
16:20and Carney spoke. That's when the
16:23administration came out and said we have
16:25the general outline of a deal. uh we
16:27still have to work out the specifics and
16:29so on, but we're on target in terms of
16:32the big issues, which is steel,
16:34aluminum, cars. I mean, these are these
16:36are existential on both sides of the
16:39border. Then
16:41Christia Freeland, who is currently
16:45serving as the unpaid adviser to Ukraine
16:49on economics from Canada and who is
16:52perhaps higher up the food chain than
16:54Mark Carney. I won't stake my reputation
16:57on that, but she's certainly up there.
16:59She gave an interview to Forbes
17:01completely pissed off at Carney for what
17:06looked like coming to an actual trade
17:08agreement. Then famously, you know, at 1
17:11minute to midnight,
17:13uh, the Canadians pulled out of these on
17:15on Friday night, a week ago, faster
17:19Friday, the Canadians pulled out of
17:21this. And then if you follow what
17:22Jameson Greer and others have been
17:25saying since then, they they are
17:27completely dissecting the nonsense that
17:30Carney is putting forward in terms of
17:32why these trade negotiations broke down.
17:37It clearly makes no sense on the face of
17:40it. So you have to ask yourself the
17:42question, oh and then by the way,
17:43Christia Freeland was absolutely
17:45thrilled that the negotiations had
17:48broken down and she also spilled the
17:50beans about the fact that the way the
17:52Canadians have to operate, this is what
17:54Barbara referenced before, is carry out
17:56a direct psychological intervention into
17:59the American population, which is also
18:01what Melanie Jolie is saying. So I I
18:04think I mean obviously I I I'm sure
18:07Canadians and most Americans would be
18:09happier if Mark Carney were not the
18:12prime minister of Canada uh because he
18:15clearly does have a certain kind of
18:16competence as the central banker central
18:19banker. But I think what everybody has
18:21to always keep in mind is our fight is
18:23not against individuals.
18:25It's against the system. It's against
18:28the principalities and the powers and
18:30the evil in high places. It is a it is a
18:33evil system and it's that system which I
18:37believe this administration
18:39[clears throat] understands
18:40and is doing everything that it possibly
18:42can to dismantle it strategically and
18:45economically.
18:49>> Thank you, Susan. Barbara, any any
18:52thoughts on this one before we move on
18:53here?
18:55>> No, I mean the the comment is as as
18:58Susan said, spot on. Um the question,
19:02you know, basically is we're not going
19:04to get rid of the likes of Mark Carney
19:06till we defeat the system. Uh and that's
19:09really what we've got to do. You can
19:12isolate out any one of these guys. And
19:14people actually get stuck very often
19:16saying, "Oh, it's this or it's that or
19:18it's that person or it's the Billberg
19:20Society or it's this." You know, it
19:24really is the system. And what Trump is
19:27doing is he's bringing back the American
19:29system of economics. And the fight
19:32between those two systems, if you just
19:36check your history, and I'm writing
19:37about this now, has been the dynamic
19:40ever since 1776.
19:44um all world history you can encompass
19:47by actually taking a look at when were
19:49when was the British system dominant,
19:51when was the American system dominant,
19:54what happened in history in terms of
19:56world wars, every single one of them had
19:58to do with stopping the spread of the
20:01American system beyond the United States
20:03and hopefully coming back to recolonize
20:06the United States. That's the overall
20:09map of world history since 1776.
20:14I'm sure people could academics would
20:16take issue with me about that, but
20:18that's only because they don't
20:19understand the American system.
20:24>> Thank you, Barbara, and thank you,
20:26Danny, for joining us today. Plenty more
20:29super chats. David Gray joining us, our
20:31friend from across the pond. Thank you
20:33for joining us every week, David. Is
20:35World War III a last desperate threat to
20:38try to stop Trump completely dismantling
20:42their network? I I'm pretty yes. We're
20:45going to have Barbara and Susan will
20:47give their answer. Um, if I if I was
20:50Trump, 10 top Satanists would have
20:54mysteriously disappeared to a prison in
20:56El Salvador or Siberia. Thank you,
21:00David. We couldn't agree more. Barbara
21:02and Susan, is this current push a
21:05desperate
21:07attempt to stop Trump from completely
21:09dismantling the globalist network? Is
21:12that what's going on?
21:14>> Well, there's a very famous quote called
21:17in during the French Revolution called
21:19Premoa Leel.
21:22In other words, these people are so
21:24psychotic that you know they can't
21:27imagine
21:29uh a system which is not their system
21:32and just like us they're going to fight
21:35to the finish on this one. So the
21:37question is can we master the art of war
21:40in such a way that we actually win uh
21:44and defeat the system and that requires
21:47something which most people in the
21:50United States at this point kind of
21:52don't want to think about. We've got to
21:54educate this population very fast about
21:57what the American system actually is
21:59because they after Franklin Roosevelt
22:01man they took it out of the history
22:03books. They said Roosevelt was a fascist
22:06for what he did in running it in World
22:08War II. Uh they introduced all of this
22:11crap in terms of how you define things.
22:14So people got their heads spinning in
22:16terms of what is this really all about.
22:18Uh there's only so far you can go with
22:20people when you say look at this factory
22:22or look at that or look at the future
22:25because you know in essence they don't
22:26realize that all the turbulence that
22:29they're feeling is a result of the clash
22:32between these two systems and the old
22:35system. You know if you think your life
22:37has been crap up to now think about how
22:40much of that was based on the old system
22:43who's been in power. As you know, the
22:46president keeps saying, I inherited a
22:48damn mess. And he did. A complete mess.
22:53All right, just think about it. Millions
22:55of people are now on government programs
22:58like Medicare, etc. without having a
23:01social security number registered to
23:03their name. That's what the fraud task
23:06force is actually seeing. How much of
23:09the debt is actually based on Biden's
23:13nonsense? a huge amount. How much of of
23:17the taxing of these, you know, safety
23:19net programs is based on um illegal
23:22fraud operations because Biden just
23:24said, "Let it go." Huge. Huge. That's
23:28what the whole fraud task force is
23:30actually finding out. So, it's going to
23:33take a while to clean this up, but we're
23:36certainly doing it. All right. And and
23:39that's where people have to really, you
23:41know, get into their heads. You know,
23:43this is a thick mess and we're actually
23:47blowing it up and running upstream as
23:51fast as we can to get ahead of it, but
23:53it's a mess. Uh, and we're correcting
23:56it. So, that's the way people I think
23:59have to think.
24:01The only thing I would disagree with
24:02with David, I certainly agree with his
24:04sentiment, um, is I don't want them to
24:07disappear. I want them to be publicly
24:09humiliated. Um, I want them to know that
24:12they're on latrine duty duty in whatever
24:14federal prison we send them to. And I
24:17really don't want either El Salvador or
24:19Siberia to have to feed them.
24:24>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.
24:25Thank you, David, for joining us. And
24:27thank you for everyone in the chat. Uh,
24:30thank you for all the the super chat
24:33love you just sent. I'm going to get to
24:34everyone. Just give me a moment here.
24:36Uh, so thank you, David, for joining us.
24:38Um, Da Dora says, "Thank you for joining
24:42us, Da. Good morning, Susan, Barbara,
24:44and Adam. Just got back from quick
24:45errands, handed out a few flyers to
24:47people eager to learn more, and peppered
24:49a couple windshields. Thank you for all
24:51you're doing, D.A., thank you for all
24:54you are doing in service of really
24:56humanity."
24:59Uh, think about the scope of of our
25:01undertakings here. If we can somehow win
25:05this midterm with a landslide,
25:08the the the reverberations, the ripple
25:11effects that will ripple through the
25:12world and into the future are is almost
25:16incalculable. So, thank you very much
25:18for fighting for everyone. Thank you for
25:20joining us, Stea. Uh Jackie says, "Thank
25:23you for your expertise. You are
25:24amazing." Well, you're amazing, too, for
25:27joining us here today. Thank you so
25:28much, Mike. Nearly finished. Okay. Yes,
25:32this is an important one. I think more
25:34people need to know about this book
25:36probably. Nearly finished with Richard's
25:39Poe. How the British invented communism.
25:43Necessary read. Every chapter pulls
25:46another thread together with the
25:48tapestry being revealed here. Cheers.
25:53Cheers to you, Mike.
25:54>> And I'm going to give I'm going to give
25:56people a preview. Barbara is working on
25:59what we might call the sequel to Richard
26:02Po's book. Uh we're hoping to have a new
26:05ebook out before the midterms. That's
26:08it's we're we're pushing ourselves in
26:10terms of getting it finished, getting it
26:13produced. All of that is a lift. Uh but
26:17she's going to build on what he did and
26:20as she said a minute ago, show that
26:22every conflict since the time of the
26:25American Revolution has been about the
26:28American system versus the British
26:29system and issues of communism and
26:32socialism are subsets of that. So stay
26:35tuned.
26:36>> Yeah, that's a big announcement. I
26:38didn't even know about that one.
26:40[laughter]
26:41So, uh, yeah. So, to my AI agent that's
26:45going to be doing the show tomorrow,
26:46make sure you put that in the offers.
26:47No, make sure you put that in the email
26:49tomorrow. [laughter]

27:33Uh Dne, another friend joining us every
27:35week. Excited for the potential future
27:38for the US and the West. As Patrick Bet
27:41David says, 49% only the paranoid
27:45survive. 51% the future is bright. Stay
Stay Frosty
27:50frosty, stay motivated. Thank you,
27:52Prometheian. And thank you, Dane, for
27:53joining us.
27:55Any comments on that one? I like that
27:57actually. 49% only the paranoid survive.
28:0051% the future is bright.
28:03>> Well, I think the most important part of
28:05what Dne said is stay frosty.
28:08I mean, look, people people's hair is
28:11set on fire every nancond
28:15on social media. Uh, and and that is the
28:18intention of the people who are setting
28:20your hair on fire. It's hard to actually
28:23fight effectively when your hair is on
28:26fire. Okay. So, so I I I'm just going to
28:29underscore what Dne said. Stay frosty,
28:32stay cool, keep on mission. I mean, that
28:36that that is a phrase which is often
28:38used, I think, by some of our special
28:40forces guys. Imagine some of these
28:43special forces special ops, you know.
28:46Imagine what you're walking into. You
28:48certainly would legitimately have reason
28:50for your hair to be on fire. Well, if
28:52your hair is on fire when all of these
28:54guys are attacking you, guess what?
28:56You're dead. So yeah, stay frosty.
29:00>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Dane. Thank
29:03you so much for joining us. And then
29:05Brian, Brian, you didn't send us a
29:08message. I'm sorry this software here

30:13Mitchell says, "Thank you for opening my
30:15eyes since I discovered you back in May.
30:18I am consuming all of your content.
30:21Really amazing perspective changing
30:23facts. I am enjoying as well as going
30:25back to see the older posts. Keep them
30:27coming.
30:30Thank you. Thank you for joining us
30:31again. Make sure you're subscribed. I'm
30:33sure you're already subscribed. Our next
30:35our next uh live broadcast, our next
30:37political update is going to be on
30:39Saturday. It might be live. We're not
30:40sure yet. Okay, just a few more here.
30:44Um, Tekken Tekken X uh Scott Besson's
30:49plan to take countries assisting Iran
30:52seems similar to when that uh when
30:55Russia was taken off the dollar in 2022.
30:59What is different now to to start the
31:02start of the special military operation?
31:06What is different now to the start of
31:07the special military operation?
31:10Scott Besson's
31:12barbie.
31:13>> It's very simple. Uh, you know, the the
31:16special military operation was under the
31:18Biden administration and under a British
31:20flag. Uh, what Scott Bessant is doing is
Bessent Is Attacking the British Flag
31:24attacking the British flag. If you
31:27actually look at the Middle East, as
31:29I've said very often, and you look at
31:30the history of those countries, you
31:32could put a British flag over all of
31:35them, you know, starting with the Sykes
31:37Pico agreement.
31:40Iran remains the key obstacle to
31:43upending
31:45all of that crap and having our oil
31:48prices and our gas prices and our
31:51commodity prices set in a in a damn
31:54house in London somewhere rather than
31:57based on actual production in the United
31:59States. That's what this is really all
32:02about. Um, you know, people get all
32:05sidetracked about Israel, about this,
32:08that, and the other without ever
32:10recognizing what's the history of this
32:13entire area. Why did they actually keep
32:16it in a religious war for this long? Um,
32:21you know, and the reason is really
32:22simple. If I can basically create an ant
32:25jar of black and and red ants and shake
32:30it up every so often and I'm sitting on
32:33top of the jar by setting the prices and
32:35everything else. I control the area and
32:38they have. Now, what's happened under
32:41Trump as opposed to anything else we've
32:44ever seen is all of those countries,
32:47Saudi Arabia, uh, you know, the UAE,
32:51despite the differences between them,
32:52Turkey, all of these countries, you
32:55know, which have been under some form of
32:58of longstanding British operation, are
33:01now not putting their money into the
33:03city of London.
33:05They're putting it into they're
33:07investing it in the United States for
33:10actual production in the United States.
33:13So, it's a very very different
33:16operation. And what we're trying to do,
33:19if you look at if you look at what we've
33:21said about where Iran's money was
33:24parked, for the most part, it was it was
33:27it was in the city of London. The
33:29Ayatollah
33:30owned vast amounts of London real
33:32estate. You know, the the IRGC
33:37owned vast amounts of London real
33:39estate. What the hell was that about?
33:41Why wouldn't Britain actually join the
33:44war? Why wouldn't you know basically any
33:47you know it it's it's a it's not
33:49something which is truly about the
33:51Middle East in the old way or as you
33:54know basically Biden started this awful
33:57war in Ukraine and that was deliberate
34:01um because they have this fantasy that
34:03they can actually uh take over Russia
34:06and that's the key to taking over all of
34:09Eurasia which has been the British dream
34:12for centuries. uh the British Empire
34:15streamed for centuries really um when
34:17you look at it. So
34:20that's the difference. It's a long
34:21explanation I realize, but I I I thought
34:24I had to tell you sort of what the
34:26difference is. In short order, Biden was
34:30a British flag operation and starting
34:32that special, you know, provoking Russia
34:36into the war was a British operation.
34:39here. What we're trying to do is we're
34:41attacking the entire apparatus itself.
34:47>> Thank you very much, Barbara. Thank you,
34:50Tech Techchno X, thank you very much for
34:52joining us today, brother. Please make
34:54sure you're subscribed to the channel.
34:57Danny, thank you again.
35:00H KB Hugs, how close do you think the
35:04British people are to rebelling against
35:06their own government?
35:09What else do you think it would take? I
35:13think this is a super simple question,
35:14but actually this is probably I think
35:18coming up in a lot of people's minds
35:19both in around the world and in the
35:21United States and the UK.
35:24Barbara and Susan, your thoughts on this
35:25one? Well, I I think
35:29I mean given how awful the circumstances
35:34are in Britain with the open borders,
35:38the police basically aiding and betting
35:41lawlessness and everything. Uh I I think
35:45you're probably not that far away from a
35:47boiling point. But here's the problem.
35:50Just rebelling isn't enough.
35:53>> [snorts]
35:53>> You you have to understand how do you
35:56properly constitute and run a society
36:00and honestly you've got to go way back
36:03in history
36:05to find in Britain people who were
36:08thinking from that standpoint.
36:11uh you have to go back to the influence
36:13of Linets, the great German philosopher
36:16who heavily heavily influenced our own
36:19found founding fathers. Uh and his role
36:23with uh uh one of the British royal
36:27family members who might have become
36:30queen but died before she did. uh to
36:34find the kinds of discussions of the
36:36fundamental universal principles around
36:38which you have to organize your society.
36:41And one of the things I know that
36:43Barbara is going to be addressing in her
36:46upcoming new ebook on socialism and
36:48communism is that really before you even
36:51get to that issue, you have to look at
36:53the difference between the success of
36:55the American Revolution because we knew
36:58what we were fighting for. We knew we
37:00were fighting against the empire, but we
37:02knew what we were fighting for. And the
37:04failure of the French Revolution where
37:07all they did they and there was a lot of
37:10British influence to ensure that it
37:12failed where all they did was fight
37:14against
37:16they didn't know what they were fighting
37:17for and they ended up chopping off the
37:20heads of scientists and [clears throat]
37:22people who had supported the American
37:24Revolution.
37:25So it it this is a tough question
37:29because it's not just rebelling against
37:33it is the challenge in each nation and
37:36we're not there okay we're we're here in
37:39the United States we're we're not in
37:41Canada so it's the challenge in each
37:43nation for a core of people to find the
37:46best of their history the best of their
37:48culture when they came closest to
37:52thinking from the standpoint of a
37:53sovereign republic
37:55or at least the basic principles which
37:57would animate a sovereign republic and
38:00start there when you think about how to
38:02run your country.
38:07>> Excellent angle, Susan. I wasn't even
38:10thinking about that. It's more than just
38:11the rebellion, isn't it? So, thank you.
38:14Thank you, KB Hugs, for joining us
38:16today. Please make sure you're
38:17subscribed. Uh Paul Cahill, thank you
38:20for joining us. Uh what about my
38:22question? What system will we need when
38:27Elon's robots
38:30produce everything?
38:32Okay. Um, if you're on X.com, maybe you
38:36saw some of the robot Olympics that were
38:38held this year in China.
38:41This is not some far-fetched idea
38:44anymore. And I don't know if anyone yet
38:48fully has the full picture of what it
38:51is, but Barbara and Susan, your thoughts
38:53on this because we're really on the edge
38:56of something quite
38:59amazing.
39:02Well, the human factor, first of all,
39:04won't be taken out of this, which is
39:06what most people think. They think,
39:08okay, you know, I'm going to have my
39:10personal robot. I'm gonna have this and
39:11I'm gonna have that. What are you going
39:13to do with your time? Um, that's the
39:16question which actually comes up because
39:18now
39:20freed from a this is a very advanced
39:22kind of idea. We're not going to be
39:24there for a little while yet. But you
39:27know, if you if you can create new
39:30discoveries
39:31about how the universe actually works as
39:34a result of all of this, if we can
39:37figure out spend our time thinking about
39:40how to conquer disease and learning what
39:42life is really think about that how and
39:46people haven't been able to answer that
39:48question forever. Most of medical
39:50science can't answer that question. Ask
39:52a doctor, what is life? and they'll
39:55stare at you completely befuddled. Um,
39:58you know, the it it creates the basis
40:03for a very exciting challenge in terms
40:06of finally being able to master the laws
40:10of the universe and being involved in
40:12projects which do that. And first and
40:15foremost, I think the first thing we
40:17want to do is bring all the nations in
40:20the world up to a certain level of
40:23productivity out of this. Okay, it seems
40:26kind of obvious, but a lot of the
40:28tensions which we have are based on the
40:31gigantic disparity we have in the world
40:33created by the IMF, Henry Kissinger and
40:36all that BS from the last period between
40:40the developing countries, the real
40:42developing countries uh and the United
40:45States and China in terms of you know
40:47very advanced economies. So the first
40:50thing we're going to do is actually
40:52think about okay what's necessary in
40:54each area of the world to bring humanity
40:57up to this level a civilizational
41:00project of this order and then what
41:03happens is you don't worry about it too
41:04much because like the Renaissance which
41:08was an equivalent you know period in
41:11human history as long as you're thinking
41:14about it from the standpoint of of you
41:16know fulfilling the command of Genesis
41:19go forth, multiply, and subdue the
41:21earth. You're going to be just fine in
41:24terms of the future. But it opens up the
41:28most exciting possibilities I've ever
41:30thought about. And as you go along this
41:32pathway, you're going to think about
41:34other exciting possibilities because
41:37you're going to be being creative.
41:39You're not going to be stuck in a system
41:41which smashes your creativity and says,
41:44"Don't go so far as to think about that
41:46stuff because that's not your role." All
41:50right? Your role is to kind of, you
41:52know, get along to go along in the
41:54present world and not really put both
41:57feet into the future and imagine what
42:00life could be like.
42:01So I tend to think that all you get a
42:04fear reaction over this stuff which is
42:07natural when you're completely changing
42:09everything which is part and parcel of
42:11what's happen. What am I going to do if
42:13I don't have to uh you know work every
42:16day to actually get my food on the
42:19table? Well, hey, there's lots of things
42:22you can think about doing like, you
42:24know, involving your mind and stuff, but
42:26that requires in turn a whole revamping
42:30of our educational system, which sucks
42:33at this point and doesn't allow people
42:35to even think in this domain. So,
42:38there's lots of things I could think of
42:39to do. Um, you know, and and um I would
42:44look forward to it. Um because
42:47creativity tends to basically uh expand
42:50on itself once you get a taste of it. Um
42:54but most people don't have a taste of it
42:56yet because they're stuck in this
42:57present kind of of economy which is not
43:00wholly advanced. So that's how I'd
43:03answer your question. Um it's it's a
43:06tough one because it requires you to
43:08think way way way ahead of time.
43:12>> Yeah. Yeah. And I I want to rephrase it
43:14from the standpoint of going back to the
43:16beginning of the 20th century. So my my
43:19grandfather worked for Henry Ford in
43:211905 before the assembly line. So they
43:25they put the they put the early cars
43:28before the Model T together by piece
43:30work. So you could you could rephrase
43:32precisely that same question. What
43:35system will we need when the assembly
43:37line takes away my grandfather's job
43:42putting the cars together with piece
43:43work? Well, it was a better system. In
43:46fact, my grandfather then went on to
43:49work on the first assembly line. uh and
43:52by by 1950 you had a 100,000 people
43:56working at the Rouge whereas in 1905
44:00when my grandfather went to work there
44:02were a couple hundred working at the
44:04Pquette plant. So in this case new
44:08technology automation assembly line
44:12created more jobs because it created
44:14more demand because it created a product
44:16that everybody could buy. So people
44:19should not fear progress. They're, you
44:21know, obviously you do not want a sci-fi
44:25world where, you know, robots are
44:29running your government. Well, I don't
44:31know. Maybe you could argue with the
44:32Democratic party they already are. I But
44:35we'll we'll leave that to the
44:36hypothetical. But but to use new
44:39technology as a tool
44:42is something people should not panic
44:45over. Now you can use new technology as
44:48a weapon. We know that. We know that you
44:50can use technology to in enhance the
44:53surveillance state. But it it it comes
44:55back to the same argument over and over
44:58again. It's not in the technology
45:00itself. It's in who is using it. You can
45:04use a gun to shoot your wife or you can
45:06use a gun to protect your wife. It's not
45:08the gun. Uh and it's not the technology.
45:11Progress is good. You know, if if I
45:15could get a robot to do all my housework
45:17and everything else that I have to do,
45:19then maybe I could do five podcasts a
45:20week instead of two.
45:25>> Yes. Yes. Yes. I agree very much with
45:29that framing, especially what you said
45:30at the end. freeing up the monotonous
45:33boring daytoday in tasks and instead now
45:38placing your effort into very highly
45:40valuable creative endeavors.
45:43That is literally the secret that we
45:46need to have here. So, thank you very
45:48much Paul and for joining us and for
45:50sending in your very insightful

46:52mission to save mankind.
46:55>> Hey, Adam, I gota I gotta highlight one
46:58response to the previous question. What
47:00do you do with all that free time? Gary
47:02Liz 30 says, "Start reading the
47:05classics." Yeah. How many of you have
47:07read Plato's Republic?
47:10or how many how many people have
47:12actually taken the time to read a
47:14Shakespeare tragedy
47:18and all right and try to frame
47:20Shakespeare's
47:21Shakespeare's understanding of humanity
47:24and look at it through today's lens you
47:26know how many people have studied
47:27Shakespeare
47:29thank I want to say thank you Selene for
47:31joining us today I don't remember seeing

47:40Get the get our email newsletter, get
47:42our subscribe to the channel. Thank you
47:45for joining us, Awal Stew. All things

47:49true. So, thank you. Thank you, Awol,
47:51for joining us.
47:54Okay, I have no question. Onie, thanks
47:57for your reports. We're going to get
47:59into that in a little bit. We're going
48:00to switch to the email questions. I want
48:02to get through more of these super
48:03chats, though. Um, I have no question.
48:05Onie, thanks for your reports. I live in
Midterm Bootcamp, Monday Nights
48:07Michigan and we will turn Michigan full
48:10on red.
48:13Thank you. Thank you, Peter. I think
48:15that's what we're trying to do for sure.
48:18Susan, you want to uh you want to make
48:19any comments on this one?
48:21>> Uh well, um I I do want to stress if
48:24people are not aware, Adam, pull up the
48:25boot camp page.
48:27>> Okay. uh for my friend in Michigan and
48:29anybody else who is active around the
48:31country. Uh some of you know but not all
48:34of you know we have two platforms. We
48:37have Prometheian action which is where
48:39we are right now which is our idea
48:42policy platform but we do have a
48:44political action committee. Prometheian
48:47Pack. Adam just pulled up the page. And
48:50every Monday night, I conduct a a
48:53nationwide boot camp uh with activists
48:57around the country to ensure that we are
49:01totally focused and equipped with what
49:03we need to be equipped with to go into
49:05these vital midterms. So, Peter, if you
49:08haven't yet joined the uh midterm boot
49:10camp, go to Prometheian Pack and hit
49:13that button.
49:17Yes, everyone just Google search for
49:18Prometheian pack instead of Prometheian
49:21action and then you'll see it's either
49:23if you're on desktop it'll be in the
49:25upper right hand corner like if you're
49:27on the mobile view like if it looks
49:28something closer to to this right if you
49:31click the drop down it'll be here
49:33midterm boot camp. So check out our
49:35midterm boot camp everyone. Thank you.
49:38Thank you Peter for sending in your
49:40super chat. Thank you for joining us in
49:42this fight. Um,
49:45okay Dane, thank you Dane for joining
49:47us. Jevans paradox is an economic effect
49:50where improving efficiency can actually
49:52cause consumption of that resource to
49:55rise instead of fall. Coding jobs are
49:59actually exploding. See all in podcast
50:02reporting. Yes, right now everyone is is
50:06has now experienced some level. If if
50:08you're a creative person to be using
50:10these AI tools, these AI agents, there's
50:13a good chance you've already potentially
50:15coded up a little widget or a little
50:17workflow improver things. So, yes,
50:21absolutely. We're seeing this all over.
50:22Even in our own organization, we're
50:24seeing these kinds of effects.
50:28Kevin, thank you very much, Kevin. I'm
50:30going to rip through a few of these now.
50:32Um,
50:34not noteworthy says, "I can't express my
50:36gratitude for Prometheian action enough.
50:38I wish I could give more. I've been
50:40slowly exposing my adult children to
50:42you." Fight, fight, fight.
50:44Well, we're going to be putting out some
50:46new content in the future that'll
50:47hopefully resonate even more with the
50:50millennials. uh our channel tends to
50:52resonate more with more senior things,
50:55but we we have some ideas in in the
50:58pipeline, at least I do, to get content
51:00that resonates also with other
51:02generations. So, thank you very much,
51:05Susan Hogan. Thank you guys for all you
51:07do. I think we are getting to a tipping
51:09point.
51:11Your thoughts on that, Barbara and
51:12Susan?
51:17>> I don't think we're getting there. I
51:18think we're in one
51:20>> [laughter]
51:22>> You know, I think you're quite right in
51:23your sense of the thing, but you know,
51:25the point is we are at a tipping point.
51:28uh if you just think about uh you know
51:31where we've been I constantly refer
51:33people back to you know we we tend to
51:36live in this kind of time lapse notion
51:38where you know one day fades into the
51:42next phase into the next and people
51:44[clears throat] just forget what it was
51:46like under the coup d'eta
51:49which actually took place under Joe
51:51Biden imagine we didn't even have a
51:54president we had an autopin we had a
51:57bunch people running the president uh
52:00you know basically as as you know a guy
52:03just out there to you know rage against
52:06Donald Trump uh you know and and the
52:09result of that was everything we saw
52:11with COVID with the mandates with the
52:14effort to actually uh you know destroy
52:18uh MAGA and the Trump movement and kill
52:20him uh you know as the as the outcome of
52:23all of that uh you know you're in a
52:26different kind of phase a space now. So
52:28you forget about all of that because you
52:31don't want to go back to it. You know,
52:32you don't want even want to think about
52:33it. But think about it. It has to be
52:36made clear to people what we've just
52:38come through. And that's why people's
52:40heads are spinning a bit uh as to, you
52:44know, what's actually happening right
52:46now, which is a huge transition. And you
52:50just got to remember the reason why
52:52people went out and voted for Donald
52:54Trump. Somebody put it in the chat.
52:57Fight, fight, fight.
52:59It's that kind of idea of standing up
53:01from a bullet and saying, "I'm going to
53:04go on no matter what, and I don't give a
53:06damn if you try and kill me." Uh, that
53:09actually represents the kind of spirit
53:11we have to have at this point uh in this
53:14transition. So, um, that's what I'd say
53:16about that.
53:19>> Thank you, Barbara. And I'm seeing some
53:21discussion here in the chat. I want to
53:22make this note here that um we do
53:26actually have communities across the
53:28country. We actually have a circle
53:31Prometheium Pack does actually have a
53:33circle community with with activists all
53:36over the country, but it's not general
53:39admission just yet. If you if you want
53:42to get more active with our community
53:44right now, you got to come through our
53:46boot camp, which I just threw up here,
53:48but I'll throw it up here again. um our
53:51midterm boot camp.
53:54Uh so if you come to Prometheian Pax
53:56website and you come down here to
53:59midterm boot camp in the menu, you'll
54:02come to the sign up page. This is the
54:04best way for people to get involved with
54:07our community. And from here, uh we're
54:10bringing more and more people into our
54:12circle community.
54:14So that's something that people can do
54:17right now if they want. Again, it's
54:18Prometheian Pack, not Prometheian action
54:21midterm boot camp. And thank you. Thank
54:24you Susan for the generous super chat
54:26and for joining us every week. Paul,
54:30just quick comment. We will have a world
54:32of abundance. No work is not a real
54:35problem. We just need to rethink our
54:37money system and everything is free.
54:40This is this is a wonderful possible
54:43future. I think it is possible.
54:46We're definitely going to have to
54:48rethink what the relationship of money
54:50is going to be with human beings and
54:52with industry and with government
54:54because it's definitely going to have to
54:56be a rearrangement of those
54:57relationships. Thank you, Paul.
55:01And Moon says, "Throw this into Susan's
55:04home agent pot. More podcast equals more
55:07eyes opened with great appreciation."
55:09Susan, your comments. [laughter]
55:12>> It's true. Uh but as people probably
55:15know, I'm extremely active here in
55:17Michigan as well. Um my husband is
55:20running for state rep and we are totally
55:23focused on Michigan overall as one of
55:26the critical states in this entire
55:29configuration with an open senate seat,
55:31an open governor's seat, three uh
55:35possibly four, but really three key uh
55:38uh congressional seats either that we
55:41have to hold on to or possibly flip. Uh,
55:44so that that kind of takes up the rest
55:46of my time and actually I really never
55:48do do any housework.
55:54>> Thank you very much, Andelusian Moon.
55:56Thank you, Susan. Uh, we have we have a
55:59few more here. So, this person here is
56:02reporting something really positive.
56:04Prometheian helped me bring common sense
56:08to some of my diehard Democrat family
56:11members. Man, I wish you could have been
56:13a little bit more specific, but yes,
56:16we're getting reports. It's not just
56:17you. We're getting reports of people all
56:21over the country giving similar comments
56:24to us. So, you're not alone. Keep
56:26fighting. Keep fighting. You will you
56:29will bring the you will bring the best
56:31people. You will help bring the best
56:33people to their senses at least part of
56:35the way. The best people.
56:39Thank you for joining us. Janet says and
56:42here c part of team team corgi here I
56:45see. So I don't know if everyone knows
56:47this but Barbara is a corgi afficionado.
56:50She's a lover of corgis. I keep hearing
56:53that the Trump family is engaged in
56:56insider trading. I have not yet heard
56:59anyone explain it. I don't believe it.
57:02Could they be using it as a way to fight
57:04the economic war you're speaking of?
57:11Uh it's it's a it's a big uh Democratic
57:16talking point. They're corrupt. All
57:18right. And you know, basically what
57:20they're doing is they're simply pursuing
57:23their business interests and their
57:24lives. There's no requirement that when
57:28your, you know, uh, father is the
57:31president of the United States that you
57:33have to put on a monk's costume and
57:36essentially, you know, go into poverty
57:38and, you know, sit there somewhere and
57:40not do anything in the world for the
57:42entirety of his term. Insider trading is
57:46a very specific thing. It goes on on
57:48Wall Street all the time, let me tell
57:50you. um you know and and it's part and
57:54parcel of how this entire Wall Street
57:57operation has actually worked over time.
58:00They're not involved in insider trading,
58:03you know, Trump's basic uh own stock
58:06holdings and everything else are in a
58:08blind trust being run by somebody else.
58:11uh if you think in any way that he's
58:14going to leave a vulnerability there for
58:16himself or his family really to be
58:20exploited by everybody who's out to kill
58:22him, I don't think you realize the
58:24number of lawyers who actually work with
58:26him every single day to make sure that
58:28does not happen. So it's it's it's part
58:32and parcel of this whole Democrat scop
58:36called the billionaires, the Epstein
58:39class, the you know this that and the
58:41other. All right, that you know Jared
58:44Kushner and the Emiratis and the UAE and
58:48are they making money off of the Middle
58:50East, you know, illicitly, etc. All
58:53right, look, you know, business works in
58:57certain ways. if I see an opportunity,
58:59you know, based on the entirety of the
59:02Middle East for my company, why
59:04shouldn't I take it? But they're not
59:07really doing insider trading or anything
59:10vaguely lifeb. Have they made a lot of
59:13friends who would like to do deals with
59:16with their company, for example, in the
59:18Middle East? That's the way stuff works
59:21in that culture, folks. It's not the
59:24same thing as the United States. As I
59:26keep trying to point out to people, if
59:28somebody from the UAE, say, comes to me
59:32and says,"I want to invest in your
59:34company and I want to help you do this,
59:37that, and the other, and let's have a
59:38project together." If you tell them no,
59:41you fried not just a personal
59:44relationship, but a potential
59:46relationship at this point for the
59:47United States of America in terms of how
59:50that culture actually works. All right.
59:53So, I I think it's all BS and I think
59:57that you're going to discover that if
59:59they try and get it beyond the
1:00:00propaganda stage, say into some type of
1:00:03legal action, it's going to blow up in
1:00:05their faces because all of these things
1:00:07are being super watched at this point.
1:00:10It's just a propaganda point.
1:00:14>> Thank you, Barbara. Thank you, Janet. Uh
1:00:17Janet, for sending in your question,
1:00:19opening up to us. Make sure you
1:00:21subscribe to the channel. Um, Anna says,
1:00:24"Can you address the subject of gold
1:00:27that is in British possession originated
1:00:30from almost all of the countries around
1:00:32the world?" I assume you're describing
1:00:35the the even the original colonial
1:00:38actions hundreds of years ago. Barbara
1:00:41Susan, do you want to comment on the
1:00:43British resource extraction maybe in
1:00:46gold?
1:00:48Well, I I'll speak in general terms
1:00:50because I don't know how much is
1:00:52actually in British possession just
1:00:53because I don't know. So, I'm not saying
1:00:55that it isn't. Um, but the imperial
1:00:58system is always based on just getting
1:01:00your hands on raw materials, sucking
1:01:03them out of a country, and using it
1:01:05however they want to use it. I will add
1:01:07though that one of the vulner
1:01:09vulnerabilities of the British system is
1:01:11that in many cases they actually don't
1:01:14take possession of the things that
1:01:16they're issuing futures contracts on.
1:01:19Like for example um
1:01:22>> yeah uh oil uh the Brent crude market is
1:01:26based purely on speculation that's based
1:01:29in London. That's what sets the price of
1:01:31oil worldwide. It's one of the reasons
1:01:33why the prices don't go down when we
1:01:35have ample supply here in the United
1:01:37States. The other is the refinery
1:01:39bottlenecks here. But um but you the the
1:01:42price of oil is being set by a bunch of
1:01:44traders T R A D E R S not traitors, but
1:01:48you could make that argument too sitting
1:01:50in London. They never take possession of
1:01:53a barrel of oil. They're just out there
1:01:56manipulating the prices on it. And to a
1:01:59certain degree that's also true with
1:02:02silver, with gold, uh, which is one of
1:02:05the vulnerabilities of the British
1:02:07Empire that I believe Scott Bessant
1:02:10knows how to exploit.
1:02:15Thank you very much, Susan, and thank
1:02:16you, Anna, for sending in your question.
1:02:18And here's the last super chat before I
1:02:20go to the email questions. And delusion
1:02:23just says, "Corgi Prometheian action
1:02:24shirt went." So before I forgot your
1:02:27your thing here, Andelusian Moon, I went
1:02:30and mentioned that to my team of AI
1:02:32agents. So hopefully in the next few
1:02:35weeks or few months, I'm working on the
1:02:36merch store again and I won't forget
1:02:38about this. So thank you very much for
1:02:40sending this in. Okay, so the next set
1:02:44of questions from the slides I'm going
1:02:46to be taking are coming from our email
1:02:48newsletter subscribers
1:02:51in the emails throughout the week. I put
1:02:53a link in the emails taking questions
1:02:57asking people to sub submit questions.
1:03:00So that's where these questions are
1:03:02coming from. We're going to start off
1:03:04with R with Russia and Mark Carney.
1:03:07What's going on with this renewed
1:03:10escalation with both Russia and Ukraine
1:03:12and also Markx Carney war mark the new
1:03:15Canadian war in the United States. Okay.
1:03:18So, let's start off with these these
1:03:21first two, which is about Radcliffe
1:03:23here. Debbie says, "Does a C2 cargo
1:03:26plane landing in Moscow on Wednesday,
1:03:27August 26, have anything to do with the
1:03:30upcoming video on London's war on
1:03:32Trump?" Well, I think we're here with
The C-17 and the SCIF
1:03:34this right now. And what was your take
1:03:38on the US quietly flying John Radcliffe
1:03:41on the C17A Globe Master into Russia on
1:03:44Tuesday? Ukraine, Iran, both? The timing
1:03:46is interesting considering Russia
1:03:48recently purchased
1:03:50200,000 barrels of gasoline from Turkey.
1:03:59Well, I think I said at the outset, we
1:04:01don't know uh and we perhaps will never
1:04:04know. um we can know certain things
1:04:07about what is actually going on in that
1:04:09strategic situation which is that the UK
1:04:13and our so-called European friends are
1:04:16trying to actually win a war which they
1:04:19can't win and they're doing it for the
1:04:22reason that uh they're trying to mimic
1:04:25what's going on here in terms of our
1:04:28defense production driving the revival
1:04:31of our economy. The problem is for them
1:04:35that they don't have any basic place to
1:04:39start from. Uh so it's a bit of an
1:04:43illusion that they have that somehow by
1:04:45gearing up for a war with Russia and you
1:04:48know Canada actually has a whole bank
1:04:51now under Carney actually set up to uh
1:04:55you know sort of fund these defense
1:04:57things. they can actually save their
1:05:00economy. And because they don't
1:05:02understand economics at all, they want
1:05:06to keep green energy as their resource
1:05:10in terms of of what they're building up.
1:05:12They want to keep their entire, you
1:05:15know, overburdened uh social welfare
1:05:18system and they want to do some kind of
1:05:20defense buildup all at the same time.
1:05:24So, they're headed for disaster. the
1:05:26populations hate them. And what you're
1:05:29seeing is a buildup where they go crazy
1:05:34and actually do something really stupid
1:05:37uh which they're doing right now uh by
1:05:40actually, you know, building drones for
1:05:43Ukraine, uh sending them to attack
1:05:46Russian civilian populations, by
1:05:49actually giving them all the resources
1:05:52they can in terms of their blueprints
1:05:55for their deep, you know, their deep
1:05:58goinging uh you know, missiles to build
1:06:00in Ukraine. But none of that's going to
1:06:03work because you know, they don't have
1:06:05patriots. They don't have an air defense
1:06:07system at this point because Trump isn't
1:06:09giving them anymore.
1:06:12Um and you know what what they're
1:06:15actually doing is creating a potential
1:06:18problem for the entire world by being
1:06:20crazy. I think that may very well have
1:06:23been a part of Brad Kush's visit, but I
1:06:25also think it had to do with uh using
1:06:29Russia as a back channel uh to finally
1:06:32get this Iranian thing settled. Um but
1:06:36that's just speculation on my part uh
1:06:40because these are these are these are
1:06:42very delicate
1:06:44uh you know operations. are not
1:06:46something you pick up your telephone and
1:06:48call up the Russian government and say,
1:06:51"We'd like you to do X, Y, and Z." All
1:06:54right? Every single intelligence agency
1:06:56in the world is listening in on that
1:07:00conversation.
1:07:01That's why you have basic things where
1:07:04you fly over there to deliver messages
1:07:07and actually have a conversation uh
1:07:10that's in a skiff that isn't monitored.
1:07:13So that's what I make of what's actually
1:07:15going on here.
1:07:17>> Thank you, Barbara.
1:07:21>> Um, [clears throat]
1:07:22uh, Susan, did you want to make any
1:07:24comment before we move on?
1:07:25>> Uh, well, I would just say one thing,
1:07:27you know, just in a more general
1:07:29standpoint in terms of how you have to
1:07:32recalibrate your thinking because of
1:07:34course, what is the post-war world been?
1:07:36The post-war world has been the West
A World of Sovereign Nations
1:07:38against the communists. this is how the
1:07:41British played their geopolitical game
1:07:43for a very very long time. Um and and
1:07:46then it was reccalibrated in terms of
1:07:49Samuel P. Huntington and Barbara Lewis's
1:07:51clash of civilizations. Now it's the
1:07:53West against the Muslims. And you know
1:07:55it's not that there is not a danger from
1:07:57Muslim extremism. I'm not saying that
1:07:59before, you know, we get comments up the
1:08:01wazoo on that. Uh but what what Trump is
1:08:05very clear on and you can see this in
1:08:07the national security strategy and the
1:08:09national defense strategy. He does not
1:08:11operate in a geopolitical world in which
1:08:14there is a permanent enemy and that
1:08:16defines everything that you do. You
1:08:18know, back during the Cold War, you were
1:08:20either on the side of the communists or
1:08:22you're on the side of the West, and
1:08:23there was absolutely nothing in between.
1:08:25And nations were crushed
1:08:27under those two uh hgeimones, if you
1:08:31want to put it that way. Trump's view is
1:08:34completely different, which is this is a
1:08:36world of sovereign nations. Uh each
1:08:38nation has its own legitimate interests.
1:08:41Some of those some of those some of
1:08:44those nations self-defined interests may
1:08:46threaten us which is why we are going to
1:08:49keep our military and have a strong
1:08:53economy because national security
1:08:55economic security is national security
1:08:57but each nation he is ready to work with
1:09:00from the standpoint of what are our
1:09:03mutual self-interests even though there
1:09:06are places where we conflict. So look at
1:09:09what he's just done with North Korea and
1:09:11South Korea, right? In the old pantheon,
1:09:13North Korea bad, South Korea good. That
1:09:16defines everything. You know, Trump's
1:09:18been posting pictures of himself smiling
1:09:20with Kim Junong, who doesn't smile much,
1:09:23but whatever. Um, but also announcing
1:09:26that it's ridiculous for us to be paying
1:09:29for having our troops participating in
1:09:32these South Korean military exercises.
1:09:34and he just told Pete Pete Hegsaf to
1:09:37sever severely draw down US
1:09:39participation in South Korean exercises
1:09:42or what's the other one? We just took
1:09:43Syria off the terrorist list after a
1:09:47long time. And I know we got one email
1:09:50from, you know, one of our good
1:09:52activists saying WTF with that, right?
1:09:55[laughter] I mean, you know, this this
1:09:57the head of Syria was a terrorist and
1:10:00and Syria has been on the terrorist
1:10:02list, although part of that was British
1:10:04geopolitics. But again, it's Donald
1:10:06Trump approaching the world in a very
1:10:08different place. He has established
1:10:11a relationship which he believes he can
1:10:14trust and manage with the new leader of
1:10:16Syria who is helping us in certain ways
1:10:21try and you know calm down the situation
1:10:23in Lebanon by by cutting off financial
1:10:26flows into Hezbollah. So Trump has got a
1:10:29working relationship with Syria. Uh and
1:10:32like with Saudi Arabia in his first
1:10:34term, Saudi Arabia was one of the
1:10:36biggest funders of Islamic terrorism uh
1:10:40during that period, Trump flies to Saudi
1:10:42Arabia and says, "Well, if you want a
1:10:43relationship with me, you're going to
1:10:45stop and they stopped and they have a
1:10:48relationship with him, which is his
1:10:50current relationship towards Syria." So
1:10:52I I think the just again in general and
1:10:56we don't know the answer to this
1:10:57question but in general Trump is looking
1:10:59at the world as a world of sovereign
1:11:01nations with varying degrees of
1:11:04agreement and disagreement with us that
1:11:06he as the master negotiator is going to
1:11:08work with Carney the British they're
1:11:11constantly looking at the world from the
1:11:13standpoint of blocks that can be
1:11:15manipulated
1:11:17for the purpose of keeping the globalist
1:11:19system in place. So, whatever Radcliffe
1:11:23was up to, it's in that world.
1:11:30>> Thank you very much, Susan. Thank you to
1:11:33all of our YouTube viewers. I have keep
1:11:36getting more super chats and more great
1:11:37questions in the chat. Thank you,
1:11:39everyone. Um, quickly, Katie Cottage
1:11:42Dreams, let's actually take the two
1:11:44super chats. Katie Cottage Dream says,
1:11:46"Thank you to all three of you." Thank
1:11:48you, Katie, for joining us. I hope
1:11:50you're at least subscribed to the
1:11:52channel. Please consider getting our
1:11:53free email newsletter. And Jenny says, I
1:11:57think we discussed this before, but I
1:11:59think it's I think it's good to take
1:12:01this again. This is important. Uh, were
1:12:03Scott Besson's recent declaration of
1:12:06financial war aimed at the city of
1:12:09London?
1:12:12>> I would say yes, pretty much. Because
The Financial War Ends in London
1:12:14again, that final comment that I played
1:12:17when we opened up where he was asked,
1:12:19why don't you just implement all of
1:12:21these sanctions all at once without
1:12:24giving countries and companies the
1:12:26ability to disentangle
1:12:28from illegal activities with Iran? He
1:12:31said, "What do you want me to do? Crash
1:12:32the whole world financial system?" Well,
1:12:34the world financial system is based in
1:12:36the city of London. And you know, and he
1:12:39he knows that that's what the target is.
1:12:42You can't just pull the plug on it one
1:12:44day because it will completely blow
1:12:46apart given the size of the financial
1:12:49bubble. But yes, uh the Declaration of
1:12:53Financial Warfare does end up in London.
1:12:59>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Jenny, for
1:13:01joining us today. Excellent question.
1:13:04I'm gonna take some more super chats
1:13:06just came in. Uh
1:13:08John says, "My single point of
1:13:11disagreement is it is not the system
1:13:16just like it matters who is holding the
1:13:18gun. It matters most who operate the
1:13:22system. It is certain personalities we
1:13:25need to replace,
1:13:27not the system which is actually
1:13:30needed."
1:13:33Interesting. Yes. because actually
1:13:35people are in charge of systems.
1:13:38>> Well, there's there's two ways to think
1:13:41about this. It's that's a thoughtful
1:13:42question. Um I I always go back to uh
1:13:47the encyclical and I can never remember
1:13:49Barbara can help me whether it was Paul
1:13:51V 6 or John Paul II uh who talked about
1:13:54structures of sin which I think is a
1:13:56very very important concept that is
1:14:00individuals are sinful um and we can try
1:14:03and atone and do the best we can. uh but
1:14:06what happens when you set up structures
1:14:08which are based on evil principles and
1:14:11that is the basis of the British
1:14:13imperial system because the British
1:14:15imperial system is based on the
1:14:17principle that man is just an animal to
1:14:20be manipulated by his bettererss.
1:14:22Whether you manipulate them through the
1:14:24control of money, whether you manipulate
1:14:26them through the control of
1:14:27psychological warfare, whether you call
1:14:30the herd by sending them off to war or
1:14:34having a COVID epidemic. Um, the basic
1:14:38principle of the British imperial system
1:14:41is that and they set up structures to
1:14:44enforce that. The American system is
1:14:47based on a different principle. The
1:14:49American system is based on the fact
1:14:51that man is in the image of the creator
1:14:53that we are unique among all the species
1:14:56on this planet because we can continue
1:14:58God's creation. So we set up structures
1:15:01to foster that
1:15:04not to suppress people not to control
1:15:06them and manipulate them but
1:15:07[clears throat] to foster that. So that
1:15:10that is a fundamental difference between
1:15:12these two systems. You could talk about
1:15:14structures of sin and you can talk about
1:15:16structures of good. Now once you define
1:15:20that yes it is a question of who's in
1:15:24there and if you look at American
1:15:26history throughout the 200 years you
1:15:29know that that's a very challenging
1:15:31exercise when are we operating within
1:15:34structures of the American system but we
1:15:37might have bad people subverting it and
1:15:41when have we completely subordinated
1:15:44ourselves to these structures of sin
1:15:47and the people in office are, you know,
1:15:50in intensifying that. And I would argue
1:15:53pretty much since the fall of the Soviet
1:15:55Union
1:15:57up until Trump, all of the presidents
1:16:00were operating within the structures of
1:16:02sin and were intensifying the sinfulness
1:16:06of those structures of sin. So, you had
1:16:08a kind of dual problem there. Um, and
1:16:11now you have an administration which is
1:16:14trying to create new structures. We're
1:16:16not quite there yet, but we're certainly
1:16:20this certainly is the intention of this
1:16:22administration as they return to the
1:16:23American system. So, it's it's um it's
1:16:27it's a several layered response to your
1:16:30question, John. But it's a good point.
1:16:35>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, John, for
1:16:37joining us today. Consider getting a
1:16:39free email newsletter. Okay, I'm gonna I
1:16:43have two more super chats here. I'm
1:16:44going to hold for the moment. I want to
1:16:45jump back to some questions here from
1:16:48our email newsletter. So, these next
1:16:50ones here are going to be about our
1:16:52friends up north and what's going on
1:16:54with Mark Hardy's Canada right now.
1:16:57[laughter]
1:16:57Quite quite crazy. It's literally just
1:17:00blown up over the last few weeks, few
1:17:01months. Once you understand the America,
1:17:04so first one here is from Katherine.
1:17:06Once you understand the American system,
1:17:08it seems ludicrous that Carney will have
1:17:10any money or power after Bessen stops
1:17:13all the money flowing to Britain from
1:17:15Iran. Would it be safe to say we are at
Carney, the Polls, the Ballots
1:17:18an apex in our battle for freedom? It
1:17:21seems to me that Carney is just
1:17:24depending on the politically ignorant
1:17:26masses,
1:17:28manipulated masses. However, Europe
1:17:31seems to be waking uh waking up and mass
1:17:34right now. Would you say he is in for a
1:17:36big awakening himself? It's a nailbiter.
1:17:39That's for sure. Thank you, Katherine.
1:17:42Uh Ken says, "Why isn't Trump speaking
1:17:45publicly about UK's financial ties to
1:17:47Iran, terrorism in Canada and Mark
1:17:49Carney?" People need to hear this is
1:17:53coming from him, not just you guys.
1:17:56People need to know why he is doing what
1:17:58he is doing, connecting all the dots and
1:18:02showing the big picture.
1:18:04Yes. You know, it's inter I'm sure
1:18:06Barbara Susan will talk about it. Trump
1:18:08actually does still have a connection to
1:18:10the crown. And Karen says, "Can you
1:18:14clarify what is actually confirmed
1:18:16regarding Mark Carney's walk out with
1:18:18the US negotiations, the CIS director
1:18:21meeting with Russian, any connection
1:18:22between the two? Also, what are the
1:18:24latest uh reliable polling results? And
1:18:27are there any verified concerns or
1:18:29irregularities with the voting process?
1:18:31What should we be watching for and what
1:18:32sources can we trust?" Thank you Karen
1:18:34for your questions.
1:18:39>> Barbara,
1:18:40>> well Mark Mark Carney's money is mostly
1:18:43in the United States. So that kind of
1:18:46you know actually is an interesting uh
1:18:49situation to say the least. Uh you can
1:18:52make an argument which I think you know
1:18:53Susan basically started to make and
1:18:56didn't go as far as I would. I think
1:18:58he's really uh you know controlled by
1:19:01Christopher Freeland and his wife uh
1:19:03both who play probably a more
1:19:05significant role in terms of his mindset
1:19:08than we even know about. I think we've
1:19:11gone through what Canada is doing. I I
1:19:13think the only thing we haven't
1:19:14emphasized is the meeting which took
1:19:17place with Barack Obama uh and several
1:19:20of the Democrats uh way back a few
1:19:23months ago. Uh we pretty much are think
1:19:27that what was set up then is actually
1:19:30the situation we're experiencing now.
1:19:33What they want to do is have this trade
1:19:35war affect the economy in certain states
1:19:38in such a way that people turn around
1:19:41and say it's Donald Trump's fault
1:19:43because of the tariffs. And that again
1:19:46is a problem of understanding what the
1:19:49American system is all about and how
1:19:51it's different from uh you know the
1:19:54actual economy and ideas about economy
1:19:57which we've lived under uh for the last
1:20:00period. I think what I put up at the
1:20:02beginning of this when I said uh
1:20:04Bloomberg freaked out today and put two
1:20:07headlines up saying both uh Kevin Walsh
1:20:11at the Fed and Scott Bessett need a
1:20:13reset i.e. come back here to our system
1:20:17versus what you're doing now since we
1:20:19don't like it. Um you know it is again
1:20:23as we've said a battle between these two
1:20:25systems. Now, what's interesting if you
1:20:28actually look at Trump is he put up
1:20:31videos during both his 2016 uh and you
1:20:35know 2020 and 2024 campaign constantly
1:20:40telling people think outside the box.
1:20:46Think outside of what you presently
1:20:48imagine. Think outside the box in terms
1:20:52of what people tell you is possible. If
1:20:55you can prove to yourself that something
1:20:58is possible, then do it and you will
1:21:02actually find out whether it works or
1:21:05not. That's the key to all creative
1:21:07thought. And most people are stuck in,
1:21:10you know, responding to what the media
1:21:14puts out every single day is this is
1:21:16this is the system we live in. And what
1:21:19he's saying, which is where we're going
1:21:21hopefully, is no.
1:21:24Think about what you want to do for the
1:21:27future. Think about think completely
1:21:30what what is it you know analyze your
1:21:32present circumstance. Look at what
1:21:34everybody tells you is the way to live.
1:21:37What are their basic axioms in terms of
1:21:40what they're talking about as the
1:21:42system? Uh you know basically the
1:21:45British system says men and women are
1:21:48beasts. They can't go beyond sense
1:21:51perception. They can't go beyond the
1:21:52present moment. They are, you know,
1:21:55basically hemmed in by their sexual and
1:21:57other desires. And that's a good thing
1:22:00because they're animals. We're all
1:22:02animals. All right. What the American
1:22:05system again says different than that
1:22:08whole central axiom is no. We are, you
1:22:12know, basically creatures of God and
1:22:14basically instructed by him to engage in
1:22:17perfection of his creation. ever ever
1:22:21ever ever more perfection of his
1:22:23creation through scientific and
1:22:25technological pro progress. That's the
1:22:28difference between the two systems
1:22:30because it's two very different views of
1:22:33who we are. And Trump's idea is the best
1:22:36one. Think outside the box. First define
1:22:40the box. What is it? and now think about
1:22:43what you want to do which actually uh
1:22:46changes it uh and changes the
1:22:48circumstances of the whole uh situation
1:22:51and that's what he's been talking about
1:22:53over and over and over again as his
1:22:55central idea.
1:22:59Um I'd actually like to take up the
1:23:01second part of that last question and
1:23:05segue into the midterm.
1:23:08uh what are the latest reliable polling
1:23:10results and so on. And Adam, if you
1:23:12could pull up get ready next with those
1:23:14questions that reference Dallas and um
1:23:17the midterms. Um I want to get to that.
1:23:20Uh look, on the question of polling
1:23:22results, uh forget about it. [laughter]
1:23:25I mean, the polling results said that
1:23:27Hong lady was 15 points ahead in
1:23:29Wisconsin and she got, you know, she got
1:23:31whacked. Uh they said Abdul Elsed here
1:23:35in Michigan was 10 15 points ahead and
1:23:37he barely squeaked by. Um it's look the
1:23:41polls are psychological warfare. If if
1:23:43if you happen to know a candidate and
1:23:46they're doing private polling, you might
1:23:48have some something somewhat accurate
1:23:50because they're not trying to blow smoke
1:23:51up your ass. They're trying to actually
1:23:53plan their strategies from that
1:23:55standpoint. It's also the case that the
1:23:57state of mind of people in August is
1:23:59going to be very different
1:24:01than when you're in the hot phase of
1:24:03this campaign. Um, so, uh, forget about
1:24:07the polls. Um, you know, it's like
1:24:08polling whether we were going to win the
1:24:10American Revolution. Uh, guess what?
1:24:12Poly market would have said no. You
1:24:14know, so what does that mean? You stay
1:24:16home or you go out and you actually
1:24:18fight. Um
1:24:20obviously the the question of election
1:24:22integrity is a battle which is being
1:24:24fought literally every minute. The
1:24:26Supreme Court did make an important
1:24:28preliminary decision allowing the
1:24:31administration to go forward with using
1:24:33the US Postal Service to try and police
1:24:36the absentee ballots. Obviously the blue
1:24:38states are going to continue to fight
1:24:40this every step of the way because it
1:24:42was not a final decision by the Supreme
1:24:44Court. And the tactic all along the way
Delay, Delay, Delay
1:24:47is going to be delay, delay, delay,
1:24:49delay. Um, uh, what I always say, my
1:24:52approach is assume the battlefield
1:24:54you're fighting on is terrible and
1:24:57figure out how to win anyway. If the
1:25:00battlefield shifts and you have a more
1:25:02favorable position, fine, pivot. But
1:25:05you've got to fight from the standpoint
1:25:07that the battlefield is terrible and you
1:25:09still have to figure out how to win. uh
1:25:12and and I think that that is how we have
1:25:14to think about these midterms. I think
1:25:16that's what the administration is
1:25:18thinking um uh in terms of uh the Dallas
1:25:23midterm convention. We have a question
1:25:24about that which we'll get to in a
1:25:26minute. So um that that's how I think
1:25:29people have to think about the midterms.
1:25:32uh the the Dallas midterm convention is
1:25:35from what we can see is going to be
1:25:36totally focused on the economy and on
1:25:39the president's accomplishments because
1:25:41you can't get it out any other way
1:25:43outside of our little half page flyers
1:25:46which people are using. So that's how I
1:25:49would answer the second part of that
1:25:50question.
1:25:54>> Thank you Susan and thank you to
1:25:56everyone who's tuning in right now both
1:25:58on x.com and on YouTube. All right,
1:26:00these next questions here um are the
Dallas Midterm Convention
1:26:03ones that Susan wanted. So, we have two
1:26:06questions on
1:26:08conventions and other local political
1:26:12happenings. So, let's go to question 20
1:26:14here.
1:26:18Okay.
1:26:21Rich says, "Greetings from the deep blue
1:26:24state of New Jersey. I'm a valve
1:26:26assembler at one of the not so many
1:26:28manufacturing companies left in New
1:26:30Jersey. I just recently became a
1:26:32registered Republican after doing a deep
1:26:34dive into revolutionary and 19th century
1:26:38American political and economic history
1:26:41about the American system. My question
1:26:43is Prometheian action. Is Prometheian
1:26:46action going to be at the midterm
1:26:48convention in Dallas trying to convince
1:26:52candidates on what JD Vance said on the
1:26:54Michael Nolles podcast that the
1:26:56Republican party is more now Hamilton
1:27:00than it is Freriedman because the
1:27:03economy is going to decide if we're
1:27:05going to keep and maybe increasing our
1:27:08numbers in both the Senate and the House
1:27:10because as you well know the free trade
1:27:13has gutted the middle class and we need
1:27:16those people to show up in November.
1:27:18Thanks. And I'll watch the YouTube
1:27:20broadcast when I get home from work.
1:27:23Thank you, Rich. And I have one more
1:27:25here from Zach, who says, "There have
1:27:28been guests on Bannon's war room that
1:27:31said that there are hundreds of
1:27:33thousands of vacancies for Republican
1:27:35precinct committee persons across the
1:27:38country. I just wanted to let you know
1:27:40guys know maybe this would be an
1:27:43additional worthwhile avenue for the
1:27:45Prometheian team for the midterms.
1:27:49>> Thank you, Zach.
1:27:50>> All right. Uh let's go back to the first
1:27:52one. I'm going to take each one of these
1:27:54in order. Uh first of all, Rich, we are
1:27:57going to be at uh the uh New Jersey
1:28:01Republican State Convention, which is at
1:28:04the end of September. We have a booth.
1:28:06Uh so join the boot camp, get in touch
1:28:08with us and we can be in touch with you
1:28:10directly. Secondly, yes, we are going to
1:28:13the Dallas midterm convention. I'm going
1:28:15to be there. Mindy Petnik, our
1:28:17candidate, our very brave candidate for
1:28:20mayor of Oakland, California is going to
1:28:22be there. And uh uh four of our uh
1:28:26leading activists from Houston, Texas uh
1:28:30are going to be there as well. That's
1:28:32that's our our hardcore Prometheian
1:28:34Action team. Now, here's what we want.
1:28:38Any of you who are going or you know
1:28:41people who are going, please reach out
1:28:44to us at the Prometheian Action website.
1:28:46Just go to the contact and you know,
1:28:48send us an email. We want to be in touch
1:28:52with anybody in our networks who is
1:28:54going to that Dallas convention before
1:28:57you go. We have a plan in terms of how
1:29:00we can magnify our impact on the
1:29:02convention. Um, logistically it's
1:29:06challenging
1:29:08uh to do something in these venues. I
1:29:10was at the Milwaukee convention in 2024.
1:29:14It's not like you just walk onto the
1:29:16floor and start leafleting with
1:29:17Prometheian action leaflets or something
1:29:19like that. But we do have a plan of ways
1:29:22that we hope we can intersect the
1:29:23greatest number of people who may not
1:29:25yet know us or may know us from our
1:29:29YouTube present and presence and don't
1:29:31know that we have a boot camp. So that
1:29:34that's really going to be our main
1:29:36mission at the at the convention is try
1:29:39and figure out a way to intersect and
1:29:41reach enough of those activists because
1:29:42of course the people going to Dallas are
1:29:45self- selected who said yeah I'm going
1:29:48because this is going to be important.
1:29:50So again if you are going to the Dallas
1:29:52convention or you know anybody who is
1:29:54please have them just reach directly out
1:29:56to Prometheian action we will and put
1:29:59Dallas in the subject line and we'll
1:30:00take it from there. Uh the second
1:30:03question that was up there in terms of
1:30:06precinct delegate positions, that's
1:30:08true. Uh depending on what part of the
1:30:11country or what part of a state you're
1:30:12in, uh there are often thousands of
1:30:17precinct delegate positions which are
1:30:19not filled. I'm in a congressional
1:30:22district which includes Detroit. There's
New Jersey and the Precincts
1:30:25not a lot of Republicans in Detroit. So
1:30:28we have a huge number of empty precinct
1:30:31delegate seats. Now for people who may
1:30:34not be familiar, precinct delegates are
1:30:36the the closest to the base elected
1:30:40official in the country. Um you your
1:30:44voting district is divided up by
1:30:46precinct and your your two parties,
1:30:50Democrats and Republicans, maybe third
1:30:52parties, I don't know. No one pays any
1:30:54attention to them. they are allocated x
1:30:57number of delegates per precinct who are
1:31:00elected in primaries. So I am a precinct
1:31:03delegate in the 13th congressional
1:31:05district here in Michigan. It is a very
1:31:07important position. That being said, the
1:31:11the the elections are over for precinct
1:31:14delegate positions for 2026.
1:31:17um you know, unless you still have one
1:31:20of the outlying primaries where it's
1:31:22still relevant, but it's probably pretty
1:31:23late to actually get on an official
1:31:25ballot. But it's an important point
1:31:27because it is going to be extremely
1:31:29important next year as we head in to the
1:31:332028
1:31:34presidential elections and what will
1:31:37accompany them. So stay tuned to
1:31:40Prometheian Pack. Once we get through
1:31:43the immediate midterm battle in
1:31:45November, we will be pivoting. Uh, and
1:31:48the question of precinct delegates will
1:31:50be part of that. So, thank you for
1:31:52bringing that up. Bannon's right, but in
1:31:54terms of anything you're going to do
1:31:55right now, it's probably not relevant
1:31:58right now. The only thing that's
1:32:00relevant is the midterms.
1:32:04Thank you, Susan. And thank you to our
1:32:07friends, uh, here we go, Rich and Zach.
1:32:10Thank you very much for sending in your
1:32:12questions. Um, I want to continue on the
1:32:17steam here of the midterms. So, let's
1:32:21move to some concerns that people have.
1:32:24Starting with this one from Joe. Hey
1:32:26ladies, I'm a 70-year-old
1:32:28uh native female of Colorado. I can't
1:32:30thank you enough for your insights and
1:32:32knowledge you share with your keen
1:32:34perspective. Can you discuss the
1:32:36potential effect on the midterms of the
1:32:39recent Supreme Court rulings and delve
1:32:41into what you foresee with the foothold
1:32:44of the socialist movement will continue
1:32:46to have since in my opinion it is
1:32:49strongest with the 18 to 30 year olds
1:32:52who expect instant gratification
1:32:56potentially non- voters but the constant
1:32:58negative outpouring regarding our
1:33:01country and the administration's efforts
1:33:03I feel is weakening our very foundations
1:33:06as a republic and undermining everything
1:33:09we conservative party would like to get
1:33:11done. Basically, your vision for the
1:33:14future uh just pass of the midterms. Of
1:33:17course, depending on the Iran conflict.
1:33:18Sorry for the lengthy request, but
1:33:20appreciate your articulate way of
1:33:22sharing. Well said. Thank you, Joe.
1:33:26Thank you. And we're next one here. Mike
1:33:28says, "Hello, ladies. This country is
1:33:31such um this country is such a now a now
1:33:34country and I don't know how to explain
1:33:37to people that what Trump is doing is
1:33:39the best thing we've ever seen in our
1:33:41lives. Everyone that I talk to says it
1:33:44is just more of the same. So my question
1:33:47is how do you explain it to people that
1:33:49if we win the midterms in the next three
1:33:51years the country will look like
1:33:54something you've never seen before?
1:33:57Thank you for everything you do. Excuse
1:34:00me, Mike.
1:34:02And then we have this one from
1:34:04Katherine. How do you think MAGA
1:34:07Republicans will do in the midterms if
1:34:09oil prices are still high? Thank you,
1:34:11Katherine. And Valerie says, "I listen
1:34:14to every show by you on YouTube as they
1:34:17come out. So, I understand the concepts
1:34:19you teach well. I have trouble speaking
1:34:21to all of the complexities of it,
1:34:23though, in convincing others. I have
1:34:26many grassroot conservative friends and
1:34:28mostly communicate with them through
1:34:30texts as we are all busy, but most don't
1:34:32yet know you and there are many that
1:34:34don't understand the concepts you lay
1:34:36out. I don't have the time or ability to
1:34:39formulate quick responses when they make
1:34:41eronous statements. Here is an example
1:34:43of one from the group chat. They just
1:34:46said from a very intelligent group of AI
1:34:49programmers that that said this admin is
1:34:52desperate to change the narrative for
1:34:54the midterms, but it is too late. Um, in
1:34:57their opinion, they have very little
1:34:59success to this point to that will
1:35:01motivate most demographics to get out
1:35:04and vote on November. I know Susan has
1:35:06spoken to this data. Is there uh there
1:35:09is there but I need a quick way to
1:35:11access this and show them the error in
1:35:14their statements. Can you somehow uh
1:35:16indexing topics maybe and need an AI
1:35:19program? Thank you for all you do. Okay,
1:35:21I understand what you're what you're
1:35:23communicating what you're dealing with.
1:35:25Okay, we have a it seems to me and a lot
1:35:27of people are experiencing this.
1:35:29Everyone is saying every it seems like
1:35:32everyone around you is saying these
1:35:33things. How do we have an impact on the
The Real Revolution
1:35:36midterms?
1:35:41>> Well, I think we talked about it a
1:35:42little bit. We're having an enormous
1:35:44impact by simply laying out for people
1:35:46the difference between the life they
1:35:48lived under the old system and what the
1:35:51American system actually is which you
1:35:54can make a very intriguing topic for
1:35:57people. Do you know about this? Do you
1:35:59know what what you know do you know what
1:36:02McKinley did of all people? Why why does
1:36:05Trump keep talking about McKinley for
1:36:07for God's sake? Who was he and what did
1:36:10he do? Well, he created the most
1:36:12prosperous economy the world had ever
1:36:14known up to that point in time using
1:36:18tariffs and all the things which the
1:36:20Wall Street Journal tell you are taxes,
1:36:23terrible taxes on people. Somehow he
1:36:27actually managed to create a huge
1:36:31economic boom which lasted even into the
1:36:34Roosevelt administration using this
1:36:37system which nobody knows about. Was it
1:36:40magic?
1:36:41No, it was a very concrete sense of
1:36:44physical principles. So it I realize
1:36:47it's difficult because all the problems
1:36:49which people site are real problems.
1:36:52People don't know this history. People
1:36:54are accustomed to having an instant
1:36:56answer. But think about this. For
1:36:59everything that's being said right now,
1:37:01the same things were being said in 2024.
1:37:04Just go back and look at how people put
1:37:07Trump's chances of a victory in 2024.
1:37:12You know what the media was telling you
1:37:14is no way. Even with crazy, you know,
1:37:18Camela and all of her nonsense, they
1:37:20were saying no way this guy's coming
1:37:22back. He's a convicted felon. You know,
1:37:26he's he's, you know, basically, you
1:37:28know, been put away at this point. So I
1:37:32think you actually should one way which
1:37:33you might want to do it is just actually
1:37:35go back and say hey do you realize that
1:37:38everybody was saying the same stuff that
1:37:40they're saying right now back in 2024
1:37:42with respect to young people look you
1:37:45know I see these these uh you know
1:37:48things in the chats about boomers etc.
1:37:50And I agree that a lot of the stuff
1:37:52that's going on on Fox right now about
1:37:55uh socialism and communism is a little
1:37:58bit like the old people who used to tell
1:38:00me when I was a kid, get off the grass.
1:38:02Get off my grass. Okay? I mean, you
1:38:05know, basically they're shaking their
1:38:07fist and they're saying, "Don't you know
1:38:09that every single time communism or
1:38:12socialism has been tried as failed?"
1:38:14Well, hey, I come to you not being
1:38:18educated and I say to you, you can have
1:38:22free college, you can have free child
1:38:24care, you can have free medical care.
1:38:27And you don't think about it too much
1:38:28because you say, "Hey, that sounds
1:38:30great." And what I'm living through
1:38:32right now in a gig economy and
1:38:34everything else sounds pretty terrible.
1:38:37So, that's the attraction point for
1:38:40young people at this point in time. For
1:38:42real. Okay. If you're not addressing
1:38:45that, as JD Vance actually said, if
1:38:48you're not actually intriguing them
1:38:51about something more revolutionary
1:38:54than all the socialist and communist
1:38:56crap, uh, because young people love the
1:39:00idea of idealism and revolutions. Well,
1:39:03hey, how about the real revolution that
1:39:06lasted? How about the real revolution
1:39:09they've been trying to kill for 250
1:39:12years now? So, you don't really
1:39:15understand it. How much do you know
1:39:16about the American Revolution? That was
1:39:19a revolution, right? What's the
1:39:21difference between that revolution and
1:39:24the French Revolution and the Communist
1:39:27Revolution so socalled in Russia? Well,
1:39:30one revolution actually came from the
1:39:32people and it came from the people
1:39:35challenging themselves to actually
1:39:37figure out what are the best systems
1:39:39which have ever worked in human history
1:39:42which our founders did. If you read
1:39:44Hamilton, he can give you, which I did
1:39:47at one point in my life, a a discourse
1:39:50on the liel law and defamation as it
1:39:54existed all the way back in Greek times
1:39:58all the way up to the future and how it
1:40:00evolved. All right. He once gave a a
1:40:03summary before the then Supreme Court of
1:40:06the United States by going on for two
1:40:09days about that. All right. What's the
1:40:12difference between that
1:40:14having thought through and argued it out
1:40:16in the federalist papers with the
1:40:19population the population was exposed to
1:40:22this debate for 10 years before the
1:40:26revolution and even further back will
1:40:28tell you all right and we were trying to
1:40:30figure out what's the best mode of
1:40:33government all right and we we basically
1:40:36rejected democracy
1:40:39because it always ends up in mob rule We
1:40:41had rather a republic. And the reason we
1:40:44had that is because we figured out these
1:40:46mechanisms to cause everything to be
1:40:49deliberated about by our
1:40:51representatives. All right, that's
1:40:53different. And that's a real revolution
1:40:55that lasted. But most young people don't
1:40:58even know about that. They're coming up
1:41:00to them and they're saying free stuff.
1:41:03You know, basically what you should do.
1:41:04That's socialism versus the hell you're
1:41:06living through right now as a young
1:41:08person. Well, you're not going to
1:41:10basically change them by saying, "Get
1:41:13off the grass
1:41:15like Fox News is doing right now." All
1:41:18right. You've got to actually say,
1:41:20"Okay, let's lay out what a real
1:41:23revolution is, which takes on Wall
1:41:26Street, which takes on the so-called
1:41:28billionaire class, and doesn't shoot
1:41:30them."
1:41:32What Trump is doing is he's taking them
1:41:35and taking a whole big segment of them
1:41:37and saying, "You guys invest in
1:41:39production right here in the United
1:41:40States at this point." That's what the
1:41:43billionaires are being told to do by
1:41:46Donald Trump and being told it's the
1:41:48only way you're going to make a profit.
1:41:51That's a very different approach.
1:41:53So, you know, you got to actually think
1:41:55about this from the standpoint of the
1:41:57real revolution
1:41:59versus the fake revolution. And I'll
1:42:01tell you where each one of these fake
1:42:03revolutions end up. Despite saying
1:42:05they're all about democracy, okay? Or
1:42:09liberty, equality, etc., like the French
1:42:12Revolution, what have you, it ends up
1:42:14with a dictator. Napoleon
1:42:17uh was the result of the French
1:42:19Revolution.
1:42:21uh the Nazi party in Germany and the
1:42:26Mussolini's party in Italy started out
1:42:29as socialist parties.
1:42:32Where do they end up?
1:42:35All right. So, you know, the point is
1:42:37that that you got to have a certain
1:42:39amount of of flexibility with history
1:42:42and hopefully we can give you that.
1:42:44That's what we're what we're dedicated
1:42:45to doing. But anything you can tell us
1:42:48about how we're being reacted to or what
1:42:51you think might be better said or or
1:42:53better formulated in terms of the
1:42:55specific problems people are bringing up
1:42:56to you. That's really important to us
1:42:59because we need to know where the
1:43:01message is getting across and when it's
1:43:03not. So that's how I'd answer your
1:43:05question.
1:43:07>> Yeah. I want to go back. I think
1:43:08somebody in this round or maybe the
1:43:10previous round made the point about
1:43:12people living in the now which I think
1:43:13is absolutely the problem and to the
1:43:16point. Uh but one approach which we've
1:43:20discussed on the midterm boot camps is
1:43:23you know rather than just immediately
1:43:25getting in a fight between you want this
1:43:27and I'm telling you that this is bad um
1:43:31is to say well what do you think the
1:43:32problems are find out where they see the
1:43:36problems
1:43:37and then you know have a discussion with
1:43:40them that not too long ago in fact in
1:43:44the lifetime of some of us old boomers
1:43:47we didn't have those problems like the
1:43:50high cost of health care. We did not
1:43:52have that problem in the 1950s and the
1:43:541960s.
1:43:56So, you know, uh or like having to
1:43:59string together five incomes to still
1:44:03not have enough money to raise a family.
1:44:05Well, we didn't have that problem in the
1:44:071960s in Detroit. The uh Detroit had the
1:44:11highest per capita standard of living in
1:44:13the country. I've said it, you've all
1:44:14heard me say it many times. It was about
1:44:16$8,600.
1:44:19Average family income was 27,000.
1:44:22That was the highest in the country. Not
1:44:25Manhattan, not some Texas oil baron, but
1:44:28a blueco collar worker on the west side
1:44:30of Detroit or the east side of Detroit
1:44:32working in an auto plant. So, you know
1:44:35what? What what what changed that took
1:44:38that away
1:44:40so that we have the problems that we
1:44:42have today? And if you sort of try and
1:44:45find some ingress point some you know
1:44:48whe and again ask them what do you think
1:44:50the problem is well healthcare you know
1:44:53whatever they say if you if you
1:44:56understand the transition of what's
1:44:58happened to this country since the 1950s
1:45:01when it wasn't perfect but it worked it
1:45:03wasn't based on structures of sin it was
1:45:06based on structures of growth and sanity
1:45:09what changed from the 1950s
1:45:12because believe me it wasn't socialism
1:45:14in Detroit in the 1960s. And by the way,
1:45:18the black folk in Detroit know that
1:45:19because they did not vote for Abdul El
1:45:21Say they did not vote for the
1:45:23socialists. They remember there's enough
1:45:25of a family memory that they know that
1:45:28this is and they want to go
1:45:30back to the kind of world you had in the
1:45:3350s and the 60s. Yes, there were social
1:45:36justice problems which need needed to be
1:45:38fixed and which were exacerbated. But
1:45:40economically, people knew what it meant.
1:45:43It meant you went to work in an
1:45:44autoactory, you bought a house, you had
1:45:48generational wealth, and you passed it
1:45:50on to the next generations so they had a
1:45:53foundation and they could do better than
1:45:54you. That was taken away from us. So, I
1:45:58think one one of the other access
1:46:00points, I mean, I think Barbara's right
1:46:02in terms of you really want it. You say
1:46:05you want a revolution. Sorry, I'm now
1:46:07channeling the Beatles. Um, you know,
1:46:10but the revolution was the American
1:46:12Revolution. It was the only one which
1:46:13actually succeeded for the average
1:46:16person and has been durable. But I think
1:46:19another pathway to play with is this
1:46:21question of all right, what do you think
1:46:22is wrong? And then if you don't
1:46:26immediately know the answer to how
1:46:28whatever that was got broken, that's
1:46:30what we discuss on our midterm boot
1:46:32camps.
1:46:36Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.
1:46:39Thank you for everyone still joining us
1:46:41today. Plenty Oh, different layout.
1:46:44Plenty plenty plenty more discussion
1:46:46here. Um the for the next set of
1:46:48questions I think I'm going to take
1:46:51something on a topic that more and more
1:46:54people were discussing which is about
1:46:56the issue of beef in the United States.
1:46:59Um which is important to me because I
1:47:01like it a lot. I think a lot of us do.
1:47:04Okay. So uh Rona says, "What's the
1:47:08backstory on Scott Bessant? If um if he
1:47:11worked for Soros, why is he Okay, I'm
1:47:13sorry. Hold on a second. Let me I think
1:47:14I pulled up the wrong one." Okay. I'm
1:47:16sorry. Let me let me let me go to these
1:47:18ones on because I uh this this one here
1:47:20on the beef here. Okay. Yes, this is it.
1:47:23Sorry about that. Uh Grace says, "The
1:47:25president is all about the farmers and
1:47:27taking care of them to equal the playing
1:47:29field. Why is he now going to buy allow
1:47:33lowcost hamburger from other countries
1:47:35into the US? It seems counterproductive
1:47:38and a concern with all of the products
1:47:41from other countries being quality that
1:47:43is not controlled. How will this help in
1:47:45the midterms? It appears to be an
Beef, Beck, and the Cartels
1:47:47unlikely move. Thank you, Grace. And
1:47:51Valerie says, "Trump is allowing
1:47:53tariff-free beef imports to boost
1:47:55midterms towards his favor. It hurts the
1:47:58US herd. It doesn't help. I wouldn't eat
1:48:01imported beef local only." Does Trump
1:48:04not realize he is hurting us farming
1:48:06with this action with a corruption of
1:48:08the food supply? example is Argentinian
1:48:11beef with its ban toxic antibiotic
1:48:14residue. Why import food problems into
1:48:17our country? Thank you, Valerie, for
1:48:19your question and concerns. Barbara and
1:48:22Susan, what's going on with this because
1:48:24the price of beef is just skyrocketing
1:48:26in this country.
1:48:28>> Well, I I want to refer people to the
1:48:30interview which Trump did yesterday with
1:48:33Glenn Beck. Uh Glenn Beck actually has a
1:48:36a ranch and he runs a beef herd and he
1:48:40was talking to Trump saying, "Listen,
1:48:43you know, the problem is twofold. One is
1:48:46we have the lowest herd because of Joe
1:48:50Biden that we've ever had in our
1:48:52history. There just are not a lot of
1:48:54people out there doing cattle raising."
1:48:57Okay? And so you've got a supply problem
1:49:01and it takes years to rebuild that stock
1:49:04in the herd. And what Glenn Beck said to
1:49:07him is, listen, the biggest problem is
1:49:10the cartels who actually are doing uh
1:49:14the processing of all the beef, which we
1:49:16do do. And Trump said, "I've been
1:49:19hearing about this problem for 30 years
1:49:21now about the cartels, but you know what
1:49:24would you propose that you actually do
1:49:26about it, Glenn?" And he said, "Well,
1:49:29get rid of all of the regulations which
1:49:33feed into those guys being the only
1:49:36people who can process beef. If we have
1:49:38sane regulations, we can actually set up
1:49:41beef processing for my herd here." Uh,
1:49:45and Trump said, "Really?
1:49:47Um, so you're saying that it's a
1:49:49regulatory problem and I better get to
1:49:51work on that immediately. And so he
1:49:55said, you're going to be hearing from me
1:49:57in the next period about what we're
1:49:59going to do about that. It's a problem.
1:50:02All right. Now, I don't know about what
1:50:05Argentine beef actually has. I suspect
1:50:08that anybody who's out there trying to
1:50:09raise cattle at this point says, "Hey,
1:50:12by importing this, you're you're
1:50:14screwing me." uh because I just put all
1:50:17this money down for my herd. Uh and I'm
1:50:20making money at this point for the first
1:50:22time in 40 years or 50 years uh beyond
1:50:26what the uh food cartels charge me to
1:50:29process my product. All right, so the
1:50:32cartels are one big problem. The current
1:50:35herd is another problem. The issue is
1:50:38how do we actually create potential
1:50:40subsidies for our farmers to get them
1:50:43through this period and how do we make
1:50:45sure the beef that we're bringing in to
1:50:48bring down the price uh is actually safe
1:50:51to eat. Um, all of those are very
1:50:54rational problems which the president
1:50:56being a very common sense person, I
1:50:58think, is very aware of. And what he's
1:51:01trying to do is eliminate, just like we
1:51:03did with eggs, a central feature of the
1:51:06Democratic Party talking points, which
1:51:08essentially says you're never going to
1:51:10be able to afford beef again under
1:51:12Trump. Um, and what he's trying to do is
1:51:15create additional supply.
1:51:18uh and the question is where does that
1:51:20come from and what are the actual
1:51:22characteristics of that? So I look
1:51:25forward to a solution here. I think it's
1:51:27coming. Um and you know I think we have
1:51:30to take all of those factors into
1:51:32account when we're thinking about it.
1:51:36>> Yeah. And I think if you pay attention
1:51:38to Brooke Rollins, she's very clear on
1:51:40this. I mean for months now they've been
1:51:41targeting the meat packers and the
1:51:44processors. They've made the point that
1:51:45they're foreignowned.
1:51:47Um, you know, again, you have to ask
1:51:49yourself the question, what can the
1:51:50administration actually do about some of
1:51:52these things? But Brook Rollins also
1:51:54made the point that the beef herd is
1:51:56lower than it was per capita than in
1:51:581950.
1:52:00Um, you know, so that's a big question.
1:52:03Part of that is because Joe Biden
1:52:05carried out a war on beef, also locked
1:52:08up more and more land, you know, wanted
1:52:10you to eat crickets instead of
1:52:12hamburgers. Um, you know, so uh uh you
1:52:16know nothing what are they called?
1:52:17Impossible burgers. Yeah. Impossible to
1:52:21even contemplate. Um you know so so
1:52:25they're undoing that and you know and
1:52:27and and the current ranchers and so on
1:52:30are saying all right prices are high and
1:52:32for a change I'm actually making some
1:52:34money. You know this is understandable.
1:52:36Our entire agricultural system is one of
1:52:39the clearest examples of the problem.
1:52:42Just like the HMOs where you cartilize
1:52:46a critical component of your economy,
1:52:48whether it's health care or whether it's
1:52:51meat processing, you cartilize it
1:52:54largely in these mega corporations, many
1:52:57of which are foreignowned. and their
1:52:59only interest is extracting an interest
1:53:02an interest stream, a a financial
1:53:04stream, an income stream from what it is
1:53:08they're looting, whether it's our beef
1:53:10industry or whether it's our healthcare
1:53:12industry. This administration is
1:53:14committed to changing that, but it's
1:53:16very complicated in many cases and it's
1:53:20been in place for a long time. So, as
1:53:23you go through this, you're going to
1:53:25have some dislocations. This beef
1:53:27importation is only three months. Yeah,
1:53:29he's trying to influence the midterms.
1:53:32Duh. [laughter] Of course he is. He's
1:53:35fighting against the democratic
1:53:37affordability, psychological warfare,
1:53:39and the demoralization.
1:53:41And he's going to do anything that he
1:53:42possibly can. And I don't think three
1:53:44months of imports is going to set back
1:53:47the rest of this administration's
1:53:49efforts to create a new environment
1:53:52where we can rebuild our beef herds. And
1:53:55now that he's had this little dialogue
1:53:57with Glenn Beck, you know, maybe make
1:53:59some other very dramatic steps in terms
1:54:01of changing the regulations.
1:54:09>> And there's a lot of
1:54:10>> Thank you ladies. Thank you to all of
1:54:11our friends in the chat. Thank you
1:54:12everyone.
1:54:13>> There's a lot of people here who are
1:54:15saying, "I want to see you eat beef
1:54:17imports and so on and so forth." I I buy
1:54:19my beef from Idaho directly. Okay. But
1:54:23honestly, I can afford to do that. There
1:54:26are people out there in this country who
1:54:28can't. And we don't have pure clean beef
1:54:32for them at this point. We have to move
1:54:35toward it. But I think people should get
1:54:37a little bit off their high horse
1:54:39because there are poor people out there
1:54:40who don't have the luxury of paying, you
1:54:44know, more than $10 a pound for
1:54:46hamburger.
1:54:48Uh the other thing I'd like to mention
1:54:50which very few people know I see it in
1:54:52the chat. Uh you know there are places
1:54:55where you can get good American beef on
1:54:57a discounted basis. Uh including Aldi,
1:55:01uh including Sam's Club and including
1:55:03Walmart of all places. Walmart, you
1:55:06know, much to my surprise, I was
1:55:08thinking about getting a a new steak for
1:55:11my husband's birthday. So I did a Google
1:55:13search and saying where can where where
1:55:15do the best chefs say you can get prime
1:55:18beef these days and to my shock it came
1:55:21up and said go to Walmart
1:55:24[laughter]
1:55:24and I found that to be true because
1:55:27Walmart kind of figures something out a
1:55:29while back and has their own herd and
1:55:32their own processing. So uh that's also
1:55:35an interesting uh thing to think about
1:55:38and comparison shop a little bit. Yeah,
1:55:41I did not know that. Looks like I'm
1:55:43gonna have to check Walmart myself now.
1:55:45[laughter] Thank you, Barbara, for that.
1:55:47Um, let's go to some super chats here.
1:55:50Uh, thank you guys for patiently
1:55:52waiting. Black Line, thank I hope you're
1:55:54still joining us. Thank you for your
Grow Out of the Debt
1:55:56donation. Please make sure you're
1:55:58subscribed.
1:55:59MDE says, "The US is 40 trillion in
1:56:03debt. Why aren't we screaming as loud as
1:56:07they are in Canada and the EU? seems
1:56:10backwards when you look at it that way.
1:56:15>> Well, I mean, both Scott Bessant and uh
1:56:18I think JD Vance or the president, I
1:56:20can't remember which one now, uh are
1:56:22very very clear. Uh the way you get out
1:56:24of the debt is you you you grow out of
1:56:27it. This this is their public posture
1:56:29and this is how Alexander Hamilton did
1:56:31it. Um you grow out of the debt by
1:56:34massively increasing your tax base. This
1:56:37is this is why William McKinley had
1:56:39surpluses and as the president is fond
1:56:42of saying the surpluses were so big they
1:56:45had to set up a commission to figure out
1:56:47how to actually spend the money. That's
1:56:49that's your template McKinley and
1:56:51Hamilton. But there's another side to
1:56:53this and Scott Bessant is quietly
1:56:55quietly working on that this because if
1:56:58you think about the way the economy has
1:56:59been functioning the past 25 30 35 40
1:57:03years your productive capacity has been
1:57:06going down and the speculation has been
1:57:08going up. Well, this administration is
1:57:11clearly committed to bringing the
1:57:13productive capacity back up again. But
1:57:16at the same time, Scott Besson is
1:57:17quietly figuring out how do you begin to
1:57:20diffuse this bubble? And without going
1:57:22into a lot of details because it's three
1:57:24minutes to the top of the hour. Um,
1:57:27Barbara's Barbara's discussed it. I've
1:57:29discussed it in some of our regular
1:57:30shows. Uh, Bessant is working with Japan
1:57:35to begin to unwind what's called the Yen
1:57:37Carry trade, which has simply been a
1:57:39major foundation for this huge
1:57:42speculative bubble and to begin to
1:57:45figure out how to diffuse these bombs
1:57:48that were created over the past 30 to 40
1:57:51years. So, it's a two-fold process. It's
1:57:55building your way out, which they're
1:57:56committed to doing, and figuring how to
1:57:59deflate this bubble, which will then
1:58:02reduce the cost of borrowing, you know,
1:58:04and you can refinance some of this debt
1:58:07at much lower borrowing costs. But it it
1:58:12is the question of shifting out of a
1:58:16system which is doomed to fail
1:58:20and getting people into a system which
1:58:22can succeed
1:58:24while you're in motion.
1:58:27That's that's what Bessant is trying to
1:58:29do. and do all of this
1:58:31in the 80 days prior to a midterm where
1:58:35the enemy's intention is to take the
1:58:38House and the Senate in part because
1:58:39people can't afford hamburger by the
1:58:41way. Um you know is to uh uh you know
1:58:45take the Congress and the the Senate
1:58:47away from Trump so they can put a stop
1:58:50to this revolution that is taking on
1:58:53that is going on. So I mean what this
1:58:56administration is doing is it perfect?
1:58:58No. Have they made mistakes? A few. Not
1:59:02a whole lot that I've seen so far. But
1:59:04what they are trying to do is is
1:59:07gargantuan and it's historic. And when
1:59:10people understand the magnitude of this,
1:59:13then I think their passion for making
1:59:16sure that it finishes will
1:59:19intensify to the degree that we're going
1:59:22to need to win these midterms.
1:59:28Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.
1:59:30Let's take this this other one here. JS
1:59:34and I'll just say a few question. I'll
1:59:35say just a few things about this. JS
1:59:37says Obama cool federal spending bill
1:59:40repealed mandatory country of origin
1:59:43labeling in 2015. You have no idea where
1:59:47it comes from already. Uh that is true.
1:59:51So, this is coming off of our discussion
1:59:53about the price of beef, but I want to
1:59:57bring people's attention to Trump. Uh,
2:00:02so there is this thing here that we have
2:00:04called made, excuse me, product of USA.
2:00:09This is a Trump program, completely
2:00:12voluntary program. But what it means
2:00:15essentially is that if you see this
2:00:18stamp product, if it's labeled product
2:00:20of USA beef,
2:00:24that is legitimately made, it says right
2:00:27here, clear standards for origin claims
2:00:30on meat, poultry, and egg products. So
2:00:33this is this is the president's answer.
2:00:36Moving forward, you can and it says this
2:00:39is an official website of US government.
2:00:41This is the new USDA pro project uh
2:00:44program product of USA. So that can be
2:00:47your guide moving forward to find
2:00:49products that are actually manu that are
2:00:51grown and raised here in the United
2:00:53States.
2:00:55So thank you JS for joining us today.
2:00:58Okay, Barbara and Susan, your final
2:01:01thoughts today for our audience.
2:01:05>> [clears throat]
2:01:06>> Well, I think we've gone through a whole
2:01:08lot and there's going to be a lot more
2:01:10developments which you should be looking
2:01:11forward to Susan's uh you know Saturday
2:01:14brief because we've got Jackson Hole
2:01:17going on which is the Fed. Uh and we've
2:01:20got the group of 20 going on which is
2:01:22international economics.
2:01:24Um and I expect a lot's going to be
2:01:27happening even in the next 72 hours uh
2:01:30which we'll be telling you about. But
2:01:32the overall theme of the thing is you've
2:01:35got to actually uh look at the American
2:01:38system and understand as we've said I
2:01:40think repeatedly in the show this
2:01:43revolution
2:01:44which we're in right now. We have the
2:01:47American Revolution and we have the 250
2:01:50year revolution because we're reviving
2:01:53the real basis of the American
2:01:55Revolution in what the president is
2:01:58actually doing. These are real
2:01:59revolutions, not fake revolutions run by
2:02:03uh what can only be called gangs
2:02:06um set up by uh people on Wall Street or
2:02:10in the city of London. That's what the
2:02:13Democratic Socialist of America is all
2:02:16about. Um it it's it's really just
2:02:20another one of these crazy things being
2:02:23thrown at us as a weapon at this point.
2:02:25Uh, and you got to understand first of
2:02:28all that that's what it is. But second
2:02:30of all, you got to understand what the
2:02:31antidote to this poison is, which is the
2:02:34American system.
2:02:37And I would just stress what we started
Closing: Conduct Yourselves Accordingly
2:02:39with. Do not think about the midterm
2:02:41elections as a political fight. Uh, this
2:02:43is a war. It's a war between two
2:02:45systems. Uh, and everybody should
2:02:48conduct themselves accordingly.
2:02:53>> Thank you everyone. Let me just give a
2:02:54quick shout out here to Karantov. I
2:02:57think just as a reminder, he says there
2:02:59are three special elections in Canada on
2:03:02the 31st that will determine Carney's
2:03:05majority government.
2:03:07So I guess you'll probably be hearing
2:03:09maybe be hearing about that soon from us
2:03:11in the next few days. Uh thank you
2:03:13everyone for joining us today. Our next
2:03:17political briefing is going to be on
