🔴 Ukraine, Mideast, and the Election: What They Don't Want You to Know

0:06Nobody is connecting diesel, AI,

0:10hysteria, and Ukraine.

0:12So, we will.

0:15Everyone is treating what's going on in

0:17the world right now as a collection of

0:19separate crisises. But they're not. It's

0:22one operation and that is to manufacture

0:26the sense of an apocalypse coming before

0:29the midterms to not only break Trump's

0:32presidency but to break Maga's spirit.

0:37Thank you for joining us today. This is

0:40Prometheian Actions live question and

0:42answer show. My name is Adam Sturman

0:44joined with the lovely Susan Kokinda and

0:47Barbara Boyd. Thank you everyone for

0:49joining us. So just a quick announcement

0:51here. If you're watching us on YouTube,

0:52I do have two streams going. I have a

0:55horizontal and a vertical stream. You

0:57can switch them at the channel. Please

0:58drop us a like on the way in. Uh, quick

1:01super chat here. I already have Melody

1:03Hart. Thank you very much, Melody, for

1:05joining us today. Always enjoy having

1:08you here. Okay, so I'm gonna, as the

1:10stream is warming up here, guys, I'm

1:12going to play this short clip here by JD

1:15Vance. We're going to have a little bit

1:16of a discussion about it. Barbara wanted

1:18to play this to begin the show. So let's

1:20begin here.

1:21>> One one of the ways that we can get out

1:23of this is through growth and

1:25productivity growth. But there is this

1:28crazy dynamic where it just seems like

1:30there are forces many inside the United

1:32States um that try to slow us down

1:36whether it's data centers and you may

1:38have heard yesterday but the president

1:39called in and tried to help debunk it

1:41with Jensen Meta uh was here debunking

1:44uh Microsoft was here but it just seems

1:47like a whack-a-ole problem of trying to

1:50actually get the truth out. just talk to

1:51us about

1:53how we've ended up in this situation

1:55where there are these forces that are

1:58trying to effectively

2:01lie or fear-monger to try to take power.

2:04>> Yeah. So, this is something I think we

2:06could spend an hour talking about. I

2:08know we don't have that much time,

2:09Chimath, but but fundamentally when I

2:11see the backlash to data centers, what I

2:13see is the the the the necessary the

2:17inevitable consequence of the United

2:19States not building enough power for a

2:21generation. And so we've talked about

2:23this before, but if if when I talk to

2:25people and I obviously sort of I'm out

2:26there campaigning a lot and talking to

2:28people a lot. Uh there there's

2:29definitely some basic nimiism in the

2:32anti-data center thing, but there's

2:34also, you know, you talk to a guy who a

2:36year ago his power bill was $290 a month

2:38and now it's $580 a month. And the

2:41reality is that in blue states where

2:44we've made it impossible to build

2:46additional electricity generation,

2:48you're seeing a backlash when people

2:50start paying additional power costs.

2:52Now, my response to that is you can't

2:55just stop building because of it. What

2:57you've got to do is build the things

2:58that you need, specifically power. So,

3:01you know, Elon talks about this all the

3:03time, but I talk about it, too. If you

3:04look at the amount of power generated by

3:07the PRC, the People's Republic of China,

3:09and compare it to the amount of power

3:11generated by the United States of

3:12America in 2005, they crossed the line,

3:16meaning they started to generate just a

3:19little bit more power than we did in

3:202005. And since then, we have

3:23effectively flatlined. and the PRC now

3:26generates three times as much

3:28electricity as the United States of

3:29America does. I think that a lot of our

3:32problems um are downstream of that

3:34fundamental problem and we just have to

3:37build more. We have to build more power.

3:39We I mean, you know, I I think that we

3:40have to have this vision in the United

3:42States of electricity that is too cheap

3:44to meter. And that's I think the way

3:46that you push back against some of this

3:48ridiculous um you know sort of

3:50anti-building power comes from the

3:54failure to generate the electricity that

3:57we need. And I I just I don't understand

3:59how we ever got here as a that I think

4:02that's so important right this whole

4:05issue of nuclear power. What are going

4:08to be the power sources of the future?

4:11Before we go any further, Barbara and

4:12Susan, what are your thoughts on what JD

4:14Vance is saying so far? Because I think

4:16this is absolutely critical to the

4:18midterm elections, this particular

4:20message.

4:22>> Well, we have on the other we have on

4:24the other side of this a panic driven by

4:28that famous socialist of all time,

4:30Bernie Sanders, uh, and his British

4:33companions, which Susan went into, uh,

4:35yesterday on her video. Uh, you know,

4:38Bernie Sanders was asked uh the question

4:41Adam just raised uh on an interview I

4:43saw of him on Fox and he said he was

4:46asked, "You really think that AI is more

4:49dangerous than nuclear bombs?"

4:52And he said, "Yes."

4:54Okay, that gives you a sense of the

4:56insanity which these guys are actually

5:00pushing. All right. This is, you know, a

5:03a totally democrat British

5:06intelligencedriven

5:08SCOP, including uh whatever is going on

5:12with, you know, Claude and Anthropoc and

5:14all of this other stuff in terms of who

5:16they are. Um, and there's an entire

5:19scandal underneath all of that which

5:21people will unravel. But the key thing

5:24to it is exactly what JD Vance said. The

5:27enemy has learned that our country has

5:31become risk averse. I I'll just say

5:34that. Uh that's the profile right now of

5:36Americans. And so they have jinned up

5:40apocalypse after apocalypse. And you

5:43know, people don't stop to reflect on

5:46okay, we were supposed to be, you know,

5:49dying of, you know, climate change at

5:51this point. The climate apocalypse was

5:53supposed to have happened. We should all

5:55be dead by that. Prior to that, we were

5:58supposed to die because resources were

6:01going to run out and people, you know,

6:02or there was the the hole in the ozone

6:05cloud. I mean, the whole thing is just

6:08one of these things after another. There

6:11are problems within AI. Uh some of which

6:15have to do with the entire philosophical

6:18underpinning of what some of the

6:20developers think. I saw a very

6:22interesting clip where basically what

6:26the guy was talking about is some people

6:28here in Silicon Valley believe they're

6:30building the new god. All right, that's

6:33a problem. Okay, no, no doubt that's a

6:35problem because AI is not the new god.

6:39And you know, he said part of the

6:40solution is stop trying to make it like

6:43humans.

6:45There it's not. Okay, it's it's it's a

6:48series of mathematical equations, you

6:51know, actually developed for purposes of

6:53programming and drawing the world's

6:55knowledge base into a form in which we

6:58can actually use it to go the next step

7:01through human creativity. Now [laughter]

7:03the solutions to this are not to ban AI

7:07you know that would be completely stupid

7:10or to give it antirust exemptions like

7:12the vaccines had uh or you know complete

7:15immunity from lawsuits. The solution as

7:19as David Saxs said who's the former jar

7:22for this in the White House is if you

7:24believe that you built you know a Frank

7:27you Frankenstein and Frankenstein is

7:29getting out of control isn't the simple

7:32answer that you stop building that you

7:34figure out what the defenses are to it

7:37and you know I thought some of the

7:39people from Silicon Valley were being

7:41very rational Mark Zuckerberg said look

7:43we stopped one of our models because we

7:45didn't think it was safe and then we

7:48developed the tools to figure out what

7:50we had developed and how to actually

7:52confront it if it's wrong. And you know

7:54what JD ends up doing in this in this

7:57piece is just putting the lie to the

7:59whole picture. He says you say you built

8:01a Frankenstein i.e. the AI people who

8:04actually uh you know generated this hoax

8:07in part. But you know when people come

8:10to you and say okay you've got a super

8:12cyber hacking tool and we want we want

8:15it so we can build a defenses to it. You

8:17say no we won't give you that. All right

8:20well what's that about? Okay. What is

8:23that about? I thought he did that very

8:25very well because it gives the lie to

8:27the entire issue. This is an election

8:30hoax. Um, and you know that they're

8:33playing on people's fears of new

8:36technologies. And the point is, we used

8:39to be in our country, and this is a

8:41challenge for us, the people who said,

8:44"I don't give a damn. We're going to

8:45develop the next technology." There will

8:48be problems in it. There will be errors.

8:51That happens with new technologies. And

8:54we learn how to confront that. That's

8:55not that's something we've done before.

8:58So, I just wanted to comment on that.

9:00The other major thing of course is the

9:02physical economy and that's the other

9:05thing he emphasized in that speech. Why

9:08is gas so high? Well, in part it's

9:10because of the whole Iran war thing and

9:13the fact that prices get set in the city

9:15of London. But the fundamental problem

9:18is because of you know the whole hoax

9:21around climate change. We stopped

9:24building refineries in this country. So,

9:26we have tons and tons of oil, but our

9:29refineries are right now running at

9:31100%. One of them goes down and you're

9:33going to be stuck. So, we have to build

9:36more refineries. And that's the ultimate

9:39answer to all of the problems with the

9:41price of gas. There's more, you know, I

9:44I I saw Chris Wright yesterday. He said

9:46more, you know, actual oil flowed

9:49through the straight of Hormuz yesterday

9:52than did on most days prior to the

9:54conflict. But obviously if you can't

9:57refine it then, you know, you can't

10:00really use it to bring down the price.

10:02So, um, that's basically what I'd have

10:05to say about that side of the thing.

10:10>> Thank you, Barbara. And Susan is back.

10:12She's having some problems with her

10:14internet connection there.

10:15>> I'm in the third world country known as

10:17Michigan. [laughter]

10:20Speaking of nuclear power.

10:23>> So, Barbara just finished up. You want

10:25to say a few opening words here on the

10:27power and AI stuff?

10:29>> Well, I I think in general the thing

10:31that people have to be very very

10:32concentrated and focused on is this is

10:35not some kind of political fight among

10:39two political parties trading issues

10:42back and forth. I mean, Adam referenced

10:44that in a certain sense in the

10:46beginning. We are in an allout war

10:49between two systems. the system that

10:52Donald Trump is fighting to restore, the

10:54American system, and the system that we

10:57fought our revolution against 250 years

10:59ago, the British system. And uh and and

11:03one of the battlefields in this war

11:06happens to be a midterm election, but

11:09it's only a battlefield. Now, one of the

11:12things that I I want people to think

11:14about is uh put yourself in the position

11:19of actually fighting a war.

11:22uh the enemy shoots back

11:25and you know I really want people to

11:27take a a certain deep breath and realize

11:31that a lot of the anxiety that you're

11:34feeling because we got a lot of

11:35questions today with a lot of anxiety

11:38around what's happening with the economy

11:41with Iran and so on and how that's going

11:43to affect the midterms. Um what what

11:47you're really saying is we're on the

11:49battlefield. the enemy is shooting at us

11:53and it's a little bit scary. Um, now I

11:56want to just give one example of how you

11:59have to think about this because one of

12:01the developments yesterday of course is

12:04the Federal Reserve, the FOMC raised

12:06interest rates. Um, and of course

12:09everyone knows that Donald Trump is very

12:12clear about how how you know how how we

12:15should be lowering interest rates, not

12:16raising them. He appointed Worsh. Worsh

12:20is making some changes in the Fed. Uh

12:23but of course the decision yesterday to

12:26raise it by a quarter of a basin's point

12:30uh was a unanimous decision. Now one

12:32reaction to this is your hair is on

12:35fire. Worsh betrayed the president. The

12:38enemy is you know is on the offensive

12:41and so on. So Adam, I want you to play

12:43that clip even though the sound is bad.

12:45It's a it's a press gaggle of Trump on

12:48the tarmac and I don't think they've

12:50turned off the helicopter rotors yet.

12:52Um, but he he has asked this question

12:54and I I think it's it's important to

12:57hear what the president says about this

12:59because I think it has to shape how we

13:01have to think about the entire war

13:04before us.

13:07action today were the opposite of what

13:11>> I think the environment.

13:14>> Excuse me. I'm fighting with Streamyard.

13:17>> Yeah.

13:17>> You still have confidence in the Fed?

13:20>> Yeah, I do. I mean, I'm relying on

13:21Kevin, but he's got, you know, very

13:23tough board. Got a board that was put

13:25there by a lot of other people and the

13:28uh interest rates are too high. They're

13:30not appropriate. And I told I talked to

13:33Kevin and I said, "You might as well

13:35vote with the board because it's not

13:36going to matter. Uh the board is very

13:38hostile. They're very political. They're

13:41doing the wrong thing. They're a bunch

13:42of politicians or people put on by

13:45politicians and uh it's a shame because

13:48it's too high an interest rate. Despite

13:50that, the country barrels through

13:52everything because we're doing so well.

13:53But the interest rates are too high."

13:56>> Yeah. Look, I mean, I think I I think

13:59the reason I picked that there was

14:01there's a there's a question that came

14:02in uh from our subscribers, uh which

14:06which kind of mirrors why I'm showing

14:09this. They said, "Despite everything

14:11going on, Trump seems to be calm. What

14:15does he know that we don't know?" What

14:18Donald Trump knows is that this is a

14:19war. Uh the enemy shoots bullets back at

14:23you. That is the psychological warfare

14:25going on right now. and the economic

14:27warfare. This decision by the Fed is

14:30just of a piece with the economic

14:31warfare. You heard what the president

14:33said. Kevin Worsh was going to be

14:35outvoted. Uh remember the previous Fed

14:39chair Jerome Powell is still in an

14:42unprecedent almost unprecedented I think

14:45since going back to the 1950s after his

14:49term expired. He stayed on the board. He

14:51didn't leave. Every other Fed chairman

14:53leaves. Why did Jerome Powell stay? so

14:56that he could lead the opposition to

14:58Worsh and to Trump. So Trump saw this

15:02and he says to Worsh, "Might as well

15:04vote with him because it's not going to

15:06make any difference." Now, you know,

15:08some of the commentary will say, "He

15:10made a mistake. Worsh has betrayed him."

15:13Blah blah blah blah. Uh they they just

15:16don't understand. As as my friend,

15:18retired General Blaine Holt says, "In

15:20war, the enemy has a vote." By which he

15:23means they're going to keep shooting

15:24until you defeat them. So you do they

15:27control the Fed board right now? Yes. So

15:30we got this decision which is not going

15:33to help. Um I don't think it's going to

15:35be deadly or terminal, but that is

15:38across the board uh from the standpoint

15:40of economic warfare. Um, you know,

15:43you've got what the president said.

15:45Zalinsky is is a big reason why diesel

15:48prices are so high because he's bombing

15:50Russian refineries, uh, which is the

15:53second biggest diesel refineries in the

15:55in the in the world. You've got the full

15:57gamut of economic warfare, Canada

16:00carrying trade war against us. the fact

16:03that uh the IRGC is hanging on with

16:07support from the city of London, from

16:09Democrats, from the US news media to

16:12draw this out past the midterms. So that

16:15is how the enemy is fighting it. It

16:18shouldn't be a surprise. They're

16:20carrying out psychological and economic

16:22warfare against us. But if you

16:25understand that it's a war, you say,

16:26"All right, it's a war. They're

16:28shooting. How do we outflank them? How

16:30how do we free more and more of our

16:33fellow Americans from the box that they

16:36put people in where then they manipulate

16:38their fears and their anxieties. And I

16:41think those comments by JD Vance

16:44[clears throat]

16:44should be broadcast loud and clear

16:48everywhere because he has addressed the

16:51fundamentals which is that we stopped

16:54growing. I mean, one of the one of the

16:57big pain points right now is is the

17:00price of diesel. We haven't built a new

17:02refinery for 40 years. We finally have a

17:05new one moving in Brownsville, but it's

17:07not going to be online until 2030. What

17:10is wrong with a country that does that?

17:13Our refining capacity doesn't mesh with

17:17what we produce here. So, we have to

17:19import the grades of oil that fit our

17:23refining capacity while we're exporting

17:26what we produce. That's an artifact of

17:29an insane free trade system. Why

17:32wouldn't you have the refining capacity

17:34at home to refine what you produce at

17:37home? Is this nuts or is this nuts? But,

17:41you know, this has been going on for 30

17:43years. J D referenced it from the

17:45standpoint of China crossed us on

17:47electricity production in 2005. These

17:51are very very important dates. You know,

17:54one of the things the president just one

17:56of the results of the president

17:58returning to office is we're now

18:00outpacing Japan in steel production for

18:03the first time since 1999.

18:06So think about these dates, right? 2003,

18:10China outpaces us in electricity. 1999

18:14was the last time until now that we were

18:17out pa that we were producing more steel

18:19than China. And you can go back through

18:21entire sections of the economy and see

18:24for at least a a quarter of a century at

18:27least and in many cases a half a century

18:31we have allowed the globalists to

18:33successfully wage economic warfare

18:37against the fundamentals of our economy

18:40and everybody sat back and said I guess

18:42that's the way it is until Donald Trump

18:45came you know or the Democratic party to

18:47quote Scott Besson says yeah we're

18:49screwing everybody body. So, we're going

18:50to compensate you all with a few

18:52handouts, but you know, we're going to

18:54we're going to eliminate the ability of

18:56the United States or its population to

18:58take care of itself. And along comes

19:00Donald Trump, and he is reversing this.

19:02And guess what? 25, 50 years of

19:05globalist rule is on the line in this

19:09midterm election. And they are fighting

19:11back and it is going to hurt. the the

19:15fact that we've left ourselves

19:16vulnerable, the fact that that they have

19:19assets like a hostile Federal Reserve

19:22Board or Mark Carney in Canada or

19:25Vladimir or uh Zalinski in Ukraine, they

19:30have assets. Gosh, they're using their

19:33assets. So I think what we have to get

19:35across to people starting with

19:37ourselves, you know, starting with this

19:39core cadre of people who who really have

19:43distinguished themselves by being on the

19:45front lines in this intellectual war is

19:49recognize that it is a war. The enemy is

19:52going to shoot at you. Sometimes those

19:54bullets hit and it does hurt. But the

19:57question is, are you going to give up?

19:59you're going to let other people give up

20:00because they don't understand that this

20:02is a war and this is a necessary battle

20:04that we're fighting in this war. So

20:06that's how I wanted to start.

20:09>> Thank you Susan. Thank you Barbara. And

20:11thank you to everyone who's joining us

20:41super chats here. We already have some

20:42good questions and comments. First Paul,

20:44thank you very much for joining us

20:46again. And Ron with your two significant

20:49super chats. We really appreciate your

20:51generosity. Good morning Susan, Barbara

20:53and Adam. ready to learn some more

20:55important information today. Thank you

20:57for joining us. I think I caution you

21:00though. I see the word information and

21:02my my little senses start tingling a

21:06little bit. I hope we're more than just

21:07information to you because there's a big

21:10there's a massive gap. I I've

21:12experiencing this more and more. There's

21:14a massive gap between having the

21:16information and then doing something

21:19about it. And I hope you would see us

21:22more as possibly helping you get from

21:24the information to the doing to the

21:26execution side. So thank you very much

21:28Ron for joining us today. Teresa, thank

21:31you Teresa for joining us always. Paul,

21:34great to have you here. Slab Pizza says

21:37controlling the choke points is getting

21:40clearer. Yes. Geographic um eg the

21:44straits of Hermu muse processing crude

21:47oil cattle interest rates and

21:49availability of capital etc etc. Yes,

21:52this is this is definitely the direction

21:54the president is taking taking the

21:57world. Processing our crude oil,

22:00processing our cattle here in the United

22:03States, increasing the availability of

22:06capital. That's what he's trying to do,

22:07right? Lower the interest rates,

22:08increase the availability of capital.

22:11Thank you very much, Lita. Barbara and

22:13Susan, any thoughts on this one here?

22:17Well, if you just take the last week and

22:19take a look at what the other side is

22:21coming up with, all right, what you're

22:24seeing quite frankly is I think the

22:27fourth incarnation of the modern British

22:30financial empire literally. Okay?

22:33Because now, you know, basically

22:36yesterday in in wherever the hell it

22:39was, I think Straber, uh, Ursula

22:42Vanderion turned to Mark Carney and

22:44said, "I'm very happy to offer you the

22:47first of its kind associate membership

22:50in the European Union." And then

22:55pops up Australia.

22:57Oh, we would like to do the same thing.

23:00you know, I'm just waiting for all the

23:02dark money uh car Caribbean islands to

23:06come forward and said, "We're going to

23:08keep our dirty money machine intact by

23:11actually joining the EU and, you know,

23:14having a fight with the United States."

23:15So, people are just, you know, pushed

23:19into this thing where they think, "Oh,

23:21Donald Trump is the center of what's

23:23going on here." Well, in reality, what's

23:26going on is a reaction to the

23:29reassertion of the sovereignty of the

23:31United States of America by Donald

23:34Trump. All right? And that's very, very

23:36important to keep in mind. Everything in

23:39the world that's going on right now

23:41hinges on that. Think about the fact

23:44that we have been for decades the kind

23:48of world's policeman at the direction of

23:51British strategic policy. That's been

23:54the case ever since the end of World War

23:56II when Franklin Roosevelt died. Okay?

24:00And now what's happened is Trump said,

24:02"Hey, you know, we're not doing that

24:04anymore. We're going to go back to being

24:06America first, our own country." And

24:09that left all of the people who were

24:11basically sucking us dry, sitting there

24:15saying, "Holy cow, where's my cow? It's

24:17gone away. It's done. All right. It's

24:20now I'm stuck." All right. And

24:23basically, you see, Europe is drifting

24:26once again into pure fascism. Uh the

24:29Democrats say Trump is a fascist. Honey,

24:32you haven't seen fascism yet until you

24:35actually look at Europe. All right? You

24:38know, Merch got up yesterday and said,

24:41"In addition to total surveillance,

24:44we're basically going to have total

24:45censorship and we're not going to let

24:48the people who just won the election

24:50actually form a government because

24:53because why?" He doesn't answer that.

24:55It's it's our values. All right? Our our

24:58precious values and we think that they

25:01them saying that they're nationalists as

25:04opposed to globalists

25:06is really the issue.

25:08All right. So, you know what what is

25:11happening is Trump provoked all of this

25:13because he knew exactly how the world

25:17worked and that he had to upend the

25:20total totally the entire apple cart

25:23worldwide

25:25in order to create the basis for us

25:27having our sovereignty. All of our, you

25:30know, big Wall Street firms, they're all

25:32in the city of London. They trade in

25:34that market endlessly. All right. And

25:37and they're not independent. The Wall

25:40Street in turn runs the Fed. That's, you

25:43know, forget about this independent

25:45federal agency nonsense. All right. Wall

25:47Street runs the Fed. All right. So, you

25:51know, you're having these clashes right

25:53now all over the place, which goes to

25:56Susan's truth of the matter. We're in a

25:59war with an adversary who hates the

26:02foundations of this country. Who hates

26:05the idea that we founded a country which

26:08has the Declaration of Independence and

26:11a Constitution which has lasted forever

26:15and they want to tear it to shreds. They

26:18want to reconquer us. They almost had us

26:21under Biden. I mean, I'll be truthful

26:22with you. They almost had us under

26:25Biden. Aside from the fact that the guy

26:28was completely whacked and we installed

26:31a scenile man as president under the

26:33Democrats, which nobody seems to

26:35actually want to say, how is it that you

26:38supported putting a a an idiot in the

26:41role of the president of the United

26:43States? You know, that kind of is lost

26:45in the sauce of the narrative. All

26:47right. But the point is that that you

26:50know, here's this guy who told you the

26:54truth very often because he didn't have

26:56any control over his brain anymore. And

26:58he said that he was president of NATO

27:02rather than president of the United

27:04States. What does that mean to you? All

27:08right. That's the battle lines of this

27:11war right now. And you know, the problem

27:13that we have is getting Americans to

27:16understand once again who we are. Uh,

27:19which is what the president and JD Vance

27:23are actually doing and what we try and

27:25do here every single time we broadcast.

27:30>> Yeah. And I would just add that I mean I

27:32think that's a very very uh astute

27:35comment from slab pizza because when you

27:38put it that way controlling the choke

27:41points is getting clearer. You're you're

27:43actually getting one of the most

27:45efficient ways of describing empire

27:48because how does empire operate? It

27:51wants to be above nations and to be able

27:54to control money, to be able to control

27:57choke points, to be able to control key

28:00economic processes. Sometimes you

28:02control them by simply not doing them

28:05right, like not building the right kind

28:07of refining capacity in the United

28:09States or not expanding our electricity

28:12production fast enough. But you again,

28:14you do that through crazy ideologies and

28:17so on and so forth. Um but that is the

28:20essence of empire and the essence of

28:22sovereignty is how do you protect your

28:24nation's ability to produce the things

28:28which are necessary for your national

28:30survival. In a nutshell that is the

28:32difference between those two systems. So

28:35I I think again I think this is a very

28:37astute comment because the more you

28:39think about the the different things

28:42that the president is battling and

28:44trying to undo and sometimes it takes

28:47years to do it like building a new

28:48refinery. Uh I mean I was shocked. I I

28:51looked it up this morning because there

28:53were a lot of questions on refining that

28:55came in from our supporters. You know

28:57over 40 years since we we built a new

29:00refining capacity. That is just crazy.

29:03It just it in a nutshell, this is how

29:06empire works. It makes you dependent on

29:09international markets in one form or

29:12another and then they've got you. And

29:14Trump is saying no. And what Carney and

29:16the Europeans and the Australians,

29:18they're just trying to reconfigure this

29:21globalist system, you know, in globalism

29:242.0.

29:26And um you know, as as as Barbara

29:29commented, even Jaime Diamond took a

29:32good jab at that. He says, "I don't know

29:33what Mark Carney is talking about about

29:35the middle powers. That's already been

29:37tried. It's called the EU and it doesn't

29:39work."

29:43Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.

29:46Thank you to all of our amazing friends

29:49in the chat from all over the world.

29:52Really, our our broadcasts here are

29:55really reaching the entire

29:57English-speaking world. Truly, thank you

30:00everyone uh for joining us. Let's get to

30:02the next super chat here because they

30:04keep coming in. Okay, so Pawsum VFay, I

30:08don't remember seeing your name here.

30:09Welcome. She says, "Happy Constitution

30:12Day and happy birthday to my hubby who

30:14shares the same name as Susan's husband,

30:17Ron." Okay, I hope it's Ron just wanted

30:20to say keep up the good work. There are

30:22thousands of us out here supporting

30:25Prometheian,

30:28not just in the United States. Yes.

30:32>> Uh bar why don't you ladies talk a

30:34little bit about the podcast you were on

30:36yesterday.

30:38>> Barbara, go ahead.

30:41>> Yeah, we were on uh we were on with

30:43Julian Michaels who is just terrific. If

30:46you guys don't know her, she's a very

30:47important part of Maha. Uh and she's

30:50she's moved she's in she's in uh behind

30:53enemy lines there in California. Uh she

30:56used to be the one of the head coaches

30:58on the Biggest Losers. uh and she has

31:01basically uh you know begun to

31:03understand what's happening uh you know

31:06globally with the Trump administration.

31:08She's a Trump supporter and she's now

31:12like showing up on places like CNN etc

31:14as kind of the voice of disscent. But

31:18she said the way she got basically in

31:20touch with us was all of her people who

31:22follow her were saying you got to go to

31:24Prometheian Action and see those guys.

31:27and she said, you know, basically I did

31:29that and now I'm completely obsessed

31:31with you guys. [laughter]

31:33But the interview was really good

31:35because she's a person like many out

31:38there who are very open about what they

31:41understand and what they don't

31:42understand about what we're saying. Um,

31:45and I, you know, invite that type of of

31:48inquiry from people because it's really

31:51important. she's understood or come

31:53independently

31:54uh you know to a lot of the same views

31:57which we have uh but she you know

31:59doesn't understand that much what we're

32:01talking about about the British Empire.

32:03Uh she doesn't understand that much

32:05about the empire because people think

32:08they're taught in history classes that

32:09the British Empire, you know, died after

32:11World War II. Not true at all. Um but

32:15nonetheless, that's what's taught. So,

32:18uh we had kind of a great fun interview.

32:20I don't know when it's going to get

32:22posted, but people should look for it.

32:23It's called Jillian Michaels, and she's

32:26a big part of MAHA, and we're hoping to

32:29really open up uh that grouping because

32:32it's extremely important uh in terms of

32:34the election.

32:37>> Yeah. And let me just add uh from the

32:39standpoint of thousands of us out there

32:41supporting us, I think it's probably

32:43more than thousands. Uh, as I think a

32:46lot of you know cuz I called in from the

32:48Dallas midterm convention uh last week,

32:52the the penetration that we have in the

32:57highly activated mega layers who were at

33:01that convention is just absolutely

33:04enormous. Um, you know, the president

33:07when he spoke the first night made this

33:09entire riff on the fact that nobody can

33:12get up and go to the bathroom. Uh

33:15because if there's an empty seat, fake

33:17news is going to say there's nobody

33:19here. So, I want you to stay in your

33:21seats. Uh which I did the first night.

33:24The second night, I said, "No, I

33:26actually have to go to the bathroom."

33:28But the problem is the minute that I get

33:31out of my seat and start walking through

33:34the halls, I'm accosted by people who

33:37talk about how important our message is

33:41to them. uh you know whether it's

33:44congressmen, whether it's members of the

33:46Republican National Committee, or

33:48whether it's just the hundreds and

33:51hundreds of and thousands of passionate

33:53activists. So, uh this has all happened

33:57because of the work that you all have

33:59done in helping us to spread our

34:02message.

34:05>> Thank you, Susan.

34:07And thank you, Possum Buffet, for join

34:09for joining us today. I have a friend

34:12here, Chad. Welcome, Chad. Chad Walt. Oh

34:17gosh, it's been so long since I've been

34:19able to attend. Hey, Cortisol clocks

34:22explains Lindsay Clancy, assassins are

34:24made, Google AI mode, the meaning of

34:26clockwork, orange, Stanley Kubri, new

34:28now then. Uh, I don't there's so many

34:31creators right now. I've never heard of

34:33this cortisol clocks before, but thank

34:35you, Chad, for joining us again. It's

34:37always great to have you here. You pro,

34:39you're one of the first. We've been

34:41doing this for these shows for over a

34:42year now. You're one of the first ones

34:44here to join us for this process. So,

34:46thank you very much. Paul Cahill, a

34:48friend from down under. Super Grock is

34:51helping me design my new home so rapidly

34:54and precisely. It's amazing watching my

34:58simple idea turn into accurate 3D

35:00drawings in one night. We will achieve

35:03far more with AI than ever before.

35:07I agree. I couldn't agree more, Paul.

35:10Um, it's touched all of our work here at

35:13Prometheian Action. Um, we use it for

35:16research, for creative assistance,

35:19uh, work. We need AI thumbnails, right?

35:23It it's it's going to be such a

35:25transformative thing. And the people

35:27that benefit the most from AI are the

35:29most creative ones, the visionaries, the

35:33dreamers, the people that are trying to

35:34build. If that is your mindset, you're

35:36gonna absolutely love AI. AI.

35:39It's the people that are in this

35:41consumptive mindset that are trying to

35:44hold on to this world that's just

35:47changing in front of their eyes.

35:50Again, AI is for the creative people.

35:52Barbara and Susan, any thoughts on this

35:55since you guys I Okay, I helped push

35:58Barbara and Susan quite a bit into this

36:00AI stuff. So, how do you guys feel AI

36:03has it affected your workflow in your

36:06lives?

36:07>> Well, the the one the big beef that I

36:09have with AI and and particularly

36:12Clawude, okay, is you know that it is

36:15totally programmed to be like a a uh

36:19yeah, crazy leftist. All right.

36:20>> Anthropic Anthropic did that on purpose.

36:23That was the whole point of their

36:24models. So when you when you go to

36:27Claude, you end up having all these

36:28fights with the damn AI guys are saying

36:32cut it out. Okay, that you you there's

36:34no basis for what you're saying. You

36:36know, here's my basis. All right, which

36:38is my typical discussion with Claude.

36:40And they come back and say, oh, very

36:42sorry, ma'am. We basically screwed up

36:44and you know, uh let's let's take your

36:47thing. And and so you end up like uh

36:50writing whole paragraphs if you're a

36:52writer. And now Claude says to me as

36:55opposed to saying that's true what she

36:57just said. It says in the tradition of

36:59this pamphlet the following. Okay. Like

37:02it's, you know, it's out there

37:04somewhere. All right. What's nice about

37:07Grock and Grock AI is it doesn't do that

37:10with you. All right. It's very, in my

37:13view, it's much more factually based,

37:15much more evidence-based.

37:18uh and it doesn't fight with you all the

37:20time to be you know a crazy communist or

37:23socialist in your or you know uh an you

37:27know basically effective altruist uh in

37:31your concepts of the world. So uh

37:34basically [clears throat] the idea is

37:35that it is a tool a wonderful tool and

37:39where we get into problems is when

37:41people think of it as something else

37:44when they think about it as equivalent

37:46to the human mind or equivalent to

37:48something like a new god and that is

37:51problematical. Um and we've got to

37:53basically get that under control.

37:56>> Yeah. So, first off, Barbara, on this

37:58Claude saga that you describe, it really

38:01has nothing to do with us. I follow this

38:03area quite closely. Claude is literally

38:06pushing back on computer programmers

38:10that have nothing to do with political

38:12judgment. And the Claude model is coming

38:14back with moralistic arguments about why

38:17somebody's code is wrong.

38:19So yes, the the anthropic what used to

38:23be an amazing model like a year ago,

38:26Opus, the original Opus 3.5 4.0, back

38:30then they were breakthrough models, but

38:32at this point, man, Anthropic looks

38:34busted. And you have more and more

38:36people in the industry that are now

38:38beginning to realize that anthropics

38:40concept is wrong. That we shouldn't

38:42treat these things as like living

38:44entities, that we should treat them as

38:47machines, machine learning systems that

38:50they are. We shouldn't try to like bake

38:52this sense of humanness into them.

38:55>> So yeah, I think

38:56>> yeah, there's also a political side to

38:58this. I I didn't get into a lot of

39:00details in my show yesterday. Uh but we

39:04traced back uh the authorship of these

39:09two control AI bills uh the one

39:13introduced by Bernie Sanders on

39:15September 3rd and then pretty much a

39:17parallel one introduced in the British

39:19Parliament on September 8th. Uh we

39:22traced the authorship of those to this

39:26group called control AI. Well, one of

39:29the people who founded control AI was

39:34also one of the key original founders of

39:37Anthropic.

39:39And when you look at this legislation

39:42in Sanders bill and in uh uh the British

39:47Parliament, there's a kind of carve out.

39:50Yeah. They want regulations. They want

39:52global regulations for everybody but

39:54anthropic and one of the other big

39:57frontier ones. In other words, this is

40:00just, you know, this this whole thing is

40:02just your classic rerun, as President

40:05Trump said, of the global warming scam

40:08or the pandemic. the experts panic you

40:12into some kind of global regulation

40:15where they're still in control, where

40:17they don't have any liability, where

40:19they're not under the regulation, but

40:21the rest of us are. So, you know,

40:24there's there's another side to this

40:25political saga in terms of the role that

40:28anthropics seems to be playing in this

40:30in this whole thing. Um but but I think

40:33you know Paul's point is very good and

40:36and what both Adam and Barbara just

40:38said. It's a tool.

40:41It's a machine.

40:43You want to develop more powerful tools

40:46and machines. So you run into problems

40:49in two places. One, if the wrong people

40:53control the tool and the machine. Well,

40:55that's true about everything. I've said

40:58it before. I'll say it again. You can

41:00use a gun to shoot your wife or you can

41:02use a gun to protect your wife. It ain't

41:04the gun. So, you know, the issue of

41:06artificial intelligence or large

41:08language models, maybe we should go back

41:11to that in terms of what it actually is,

41:14is who is using it. Number one, and the

41:17subsidiary of that is what both Adam and

41:19Barbara said. when you start thinking of

41:21it as a substitute or above a human

41:24being when you think that it is the

41:26equivalent or above a human being uh

41:29then then you've definitely gone into

41:31dangerous territory but but you have to

41:34keep those things separate in your mind

41:36because otherwise uh you are going to be

41:39stamped into what Bernie Sanders and the

41:42rest of these people want where you

41:44throttle development or you leave

41:46development only in the hands of a

41:49select super few who then use it to

41:53control you and destroy your country.

41:57>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara and

41:59Paul. Thank you very much, friend, from

42:02joining us from down under.

42:05Okay, I have more plenty of super chats,

42:09so I'm going to keep going here. Mother

42:10of Pearl, thank you very much for

42:12joining us today, Mother of Pearl. and

42:14thank you for working with me to figure

42:15out this leaflet printing thing that

42:17actually helped clarify a lot for us and

42:19we have more stuff in place to to deal

42:22with that. For each of you, what was

42:24your I'm out moment when you left the

42:26Democratic Party. Sorry if you have

42:28answered this a million times. We

42:30actually haven't. Thank you for all you

42:31continue to do for our country and the

42:33world. Uh and thank you for for joining

42:35along with us. But I think this is

42:36actually a good question. When was it

42:40that you realized that we had to leave

42:42the Democratic Party?

42:45>> Well, I've left it more than once.

42:48[laughter] I mean, it wasn't one time.

42:51Um, you know, I I pretty much gravitated

42:54away after the assassination of Bobby

42:56Kennedy uh in 1968.

43:00uh and without really even understanding

43:04why found myself attracted

43:08to Richard Nixon

43:11uh you know because when you think of

43:13everything that's happened with

43:15Watergate and so on you know it's sort

43:19of like that's that's kind of an odd

43:21thing but if you go back to that period

43:24um what I saw without any particular

43:27sophistication in terms of understanding

43:29between the British and the American

43:31system. I you know I didn't know any of

43:32that back then. There there was just

43:34this sense of maybe the word is normaly

43:39uh which Nixon represented and then of

43:42course uh our organization found itself

43:45in I I joined the LaRouche movement and

43:48we found ourselves in the position of

43:50defending Nixon in Watergate. So um you

43:55know I was very much in involved in that

43:56because we had figured out at least that

43:58this was a coup. We didn't know who was

44:00doing it. We didn't know why they were

44:01doing it. There were some of Nixon's

44:04domestic policies we didn't like. We

44:06didn't fully understand what he was

44:08trying to do uh internationally. Of

44:11course, he was forced into taking the

44:15dollar off the gold reserve standard in

44:171971, which wasn't good. But

44:19nonetheless, we recognize there's

44:20something wrong about a fabricated

44:23scandal to get rid of a president, which

44:26we've now seen played out in spades. So

44:28that was sort of the first you know my

44:30first iteration. But then over the

44:33course of the intervening years there

44:36were people in the Democratic party who

44:38approached our organization and said

44:40look you represent the JFK

44:44FDR tradition in the party. Would you

44:47plea and we're you know we're in a

44:49battle to save that. Would you please

44:52come in and defend

44:54this productive tradition? you know, the

44:57bluecollar workers, the minorities and

44:59so on. So, we, you know, we gravitated

45:03in from the standpoint of defending

45:06policies

45:08and and trying to keep that alive. Uh I

45:12would say certainly by the turn of the

45:15century there wasn't much in either one

45:17of the parties that we were really all

45:19that interested in and had to wait for

45:22Donald Trump to come along in 2016 to

45:25actually find a force that you want to

45:27fight for which had less to do with the

45:30Republican party certainly almost

45:32nothing to do with the Republican party

45:34and everything to do with Donald Trump

45:36which is evidenced by the fact that he

45:38had to fight the party to get the

45:40nomination.

45:41and to come back into office. So that's

45:43sort of my saga. There was no one time.

45:48Yeah. Similarly, um

45:51you know, as Susan said, we went in with

45:54the idea of resurrecting the Democratic

45:56Party of JFK and Franklin Roosevelt, uh

46:00particularly the Roosevelt World War II

46:02mobilization based on our principles of

46:05economics. Uh, and the Democratic Party,

46:08like Bobby Kennedy laid out, fought us

46:12all the way through. You know, we won.

46:15Mr. LaRouche won certain states in

46:18Democratic primaries. They refused to

46:20see the delegates at the convention. Um,

46:23over and over and over again, the

46:25Democratic Party told us, uh, you know,

46:27there may be people in the party who

46:30respect your ideas, etc., but we don't

46:32want you here. Um, and I think for me,

46:35uh, it became so awful under Barack

46:39Obama. We we called Obama what he was,

46:42uh, you know, we took that, you know,

46:44hope and change poster and we put a

46:46mustache on it. Um, and we went out and

46:49we basically said, how is that hope and

46:52change working out for y'all? uh given

46:56the way that Obama actually worked

46:58totally for uh the oligarchy and not for

47:01the American people. And you know, we

47:03got really quite slammed for calling

47:06Obama the new Hitler. Uh but it was an

47:10accurate portrayal of what actually uh

47:13was happening. So that's it. And then

47:15thankfully there was Donald Trump. And

47:18you know, we adjusted to thinking about

47:21Trump based on what he actually said he

47:24was doing. Uh, you know, there's all

47:26sorts of baggage uh to Donald Trump.

47:29Don't get me wrong. I know it because I

47:30wrote about it wrongly at an earlier

47:33point in time. But bottom line is he

47:37represents someone who is constantly

47:41challenging his own assumptions,

47:44constantly coming up with creative

47:45solutions to problems which seem

47:48insoluble and it's based very much on

47:52his ideas as a builder which is central

47:55to his whole uh you know personality,

47:58psyche, structure etc. So, you know,

48:02that's kind of it in terms of my history

48:05with the thing. Um, you know, but the

48:07Democratic Party of of of Roosevelt and

48:10Kennedy was never going to come back in

48:12the present structure of the Democratic

48:14Party.

48:17>> Thank you, Barbara. Thank you, Susan.

48:19And just quickly for me, I was born in

48:22grew up in the city of Philadelphia. And

48:25every young person, it's like a blue

48:26city, right? by default, you're born

48:29into this kind of leftist democratic

48:33thing. And it really was, like Barbara

48:35said, it really was Obama was the last

48:38straw. They built up this Black Lives

48:41Matter. They built up this whole

48:44transgender movement. And what broke the

48:47straw finally for me is I had at the at

48:49the time this is between the this is

48:53Obama coming out now Trump's you know

48:56presidential campaigns coming into

48:57focus. I had a close friend at the time

48:59who basically

49:02gender got pushed her daughter to change

49:05genders at like age seven or eight or

49:09something like that. And this was under

49:11Obama. And at that point, I knew I just

49:14couldn't keep supporting the Democratic

49:15Party. So that's what it was for me.

49:18That was the final straw that broke the

49:20camel's back. So, thank you very much,

49:22Mother of Pearl, for joining us today.

49:24And thank you for working alongside with

49:26us. Thank you. Uh, David, okay, so many

49:29I'm going to try and get through some of

49:30these super chats here. David Sherwood,

49:32thank you very much for your super chat.

49:34Please make sure you're subscribed to

49:35the channel. Have a chalky chalky. Thank

49:38you. push to outfit trucks for natural

49:41gas. Yes, we could totally do that. We

49:44already have a bunch of trucks that in

49:47California here we have a bunch of

49:48natural gas trucks. So, yes, that's

49:50something we could definitely do as a

49:52nation. Okay, Mike Story says, I think

49:55this is something you ladies can

49:56actually speak to about from Texas.

50:00Every third commercial is Talifico or

50:02one of the packs bashing Talco. How much

50:06of an impact is the latest act blue

50:10illegal donations being spent here do

50:12you think will matter?

50:16>> Well, look um we're we're in, you know,

50:20we're in the the most annoying phase of

50:23any election, which is the attack ads

50:27from both sides. um which to me is like

50:30fingernails on a chalkboard

50:33because the only purpose of them is to

50:35just you know get people reactive. Uh

50:39and honestly that is on both sides and I

50:41I lay that on the lap of the consultant

50:44class because most campaigns and there's

50:48a few exceptions. Donald Trump is

50:50clearly one of them. Most campaigns are

50:53just run by the consultants. Uh and what

50:56do the consultants want to do? make a

50:58lot of money. Honestly, they don't care

50:59if the candidates win or not. Nine times

51:01out of 10, 99 times out of a hundred. Uh

51:05so they're operating in this emotional

51:08reactive world. Uh how much effect that

51:12has I don't know. I think there's a

51:14certain saturation point where how many

51:16times do you have to see the same thing

51:18over and over again where it's not going

51:20to have any effect on you. Now I think

51:22in this question is uh something

51:25interesting though which is I don't I I

51:28I know that what this administration has

51:31done in terms of all of these

51:33investigations

51:35of institutions and entities that are

51:38connected to the Democratic party vote

51:41machine of which act blue is a big one.

51:44ACT blue is under serious investigation.

51:47They're leading. I think most of their

51:49boards of directors were called up in

51:52front of Congress a month or two ago.

51:54Every single one of them pled the fifth.

51:57You know, they all pulled a Fouchy. They

51:59wouldn't say anything about anything,

52:01which means they're they're in deep

52:03kimchi. And I'm sure that has affected

52:06in a certain degree the amount of money

52:08going into this attack ad apparatus from

52:14the Democratic Party. And I think you

52:16know in in the overall putting in your

52:19in your mind the entire electoral

52:22battlefield in terms of all the tools

52:25that the Democrats use to cheat and so

52:28on. I think this administration has

52:31actually moved on many many fronts very

52:33quietly. This is one of them. uh and

52:36have cut down to some degree and I I I

52:40can't quantify how much but have cut

52:43down on Democratic party capabilities.

52:46They're still there. There will still be

52:48vote fraud, but I think damage has been

52:51done to that. So, I mean, that's one

52:53side of it sort of implicit in there.

52:56Uh, but the other thing I just want to

52:58mention is just for people to be

52:59conscious of how the president

53:01intervened into this Texas race because

53:05we had been getting it from our people

53:07in Texas and and I think it was fairly

53:09obvious. Um, you know, Paxton is not

53:13running the greatest campaign and I I

53:16will lay probably most of that at the at

53:19the feet of the consultants who I'm sure

53:21are, you know, running his campaign as

53:23traditional consultants run the

53:24campaigns. Um, so you know, this has not

53:28been a campaign on fire uh from at least

53:32that's the feedback we were getting on

53:33the ground. I think Donald Trump was

53:35getting the same feedback. So what did

53:37he do at the convention? This was just

53:40classic Trump. And this is this is how

53:42you break the the little world that the

53:44consultants live in. He just, you know,

53:47he just made this gigantic joke about

53:51how Paxton dresses, how Paxton talks,

53:55how P, you know, I don't even know if I

53:57like the way he looks. When has a

54:00president ever said something like that

54:02about one of his leading candidates? But

54:04what is Donald Trump doing? He's

54:06basically, you know, in his complete

54:08Trumpium way poking at the fact that,

54:11okay, guy may not be the most dynamic,

54:14polished campaigner in the world, and

54:16I'm going to make a big fat joke about

54:18that, but and then he comes in with the

54:21killer blow, which is where people have

54:23to focus. This is the best damn attorney

54:26general in the country. He was at our

54:28side. He launched more lawsuits against

54:31Biden and the Democrats than any other

54:33attorney general. So that that's that

54:37that's how you puncture this world. You

54:40you you take you take something that

54:43everybody knows which is a perceived

54:45weakness say of a candidate and you just

54:48in your completely Trumpian way flip it

54:51on its head and then drag people right

54:54back into reality. Yeah. Hit that like,

54:57hit that thumbs up, folks. But drag it

55:00into reality. pull people out of the

55:02world of the consultants and pull them

55:04into reality and say best damn attorney

55:07general in the United States. He was on

55:09the front lines defending your rights

55:12through COVID, through everything.

55:14Remember that. And I I think that's a

55:17very important mindset we have to

55:19remember in terms of how we're dealing

55:23with the psychological warfare against

55:25us. How did we get Donald Trump elected

55:28in 2024? People were focused on the fact

55:32that we were almost destroyed and this

55:35man was fighting for us. You got to get

55:37that same kind of passion back in. You

55:41know, we we have almost been destroyed.

55:43This man is fighting for us. The war

55:46isn't over. We're still taking

55:48casualties, but this is the only person

55:51who is fighting for us with a policy

55:54that can save this country.

55:56uh you know so ju just every time you

55:59know you're ready to go screaming from

56:01the room because one of these

56:02commercials pops up again uh just kind

56:04of remember that.

56:08>> Thank you Susan and thank you Mike for

56:10joining us this afternoon. Make sure you

56:12subscribe to the channel. Um we do three

56:15political updates a week plus this live

56:17show. So thank you again. I have Johan.

56:21Okay, so I have two friends from across

56:23the pond. So, first, thank you, Johan. I

56:26see President Trump is always calm,

56:28relaxed with economic wars and endless

56:31scops cuz I feel he is aware of what's

56:34going to come. He's so confident. Thank

56:37you. God bless. Love you all. Thank you,

56:39Johan, for sending in your questions and

56:42for joining us every week. Thank you so

56:44much. And I have a new friend here,

56:46Archon. I don't remember seeing your

56:48name here. Thank you, brother. From

56:49across the from across the Atlantic. Um,

56:52I have so much respect I for the people

56:54of the UK, the best parts of the English

56:58tradition,

57:00the artists, the scientists, the

57:03engineers that came out that competed

57:05with the United States for a while

57:07during the industrial revolution. Thank

57:09you very much, brother, for joining us.

57:11You guys got to keep fighting over

57:12there. Make sure you're subscribed to

57:13the channel here. Um, Erin, welcome to

57:17the fight against Marxism. Well, that's

57:19exactly right because the United

57:21American system was in it was what

57:25Marxism was designed to counter.

57:30>> Barbara, I think that's your cue.

57:33Hello. Well, I I'm I'm just finishing up

57:35which will be available to our members

57:38shortly, uh you know, a whole pamphlet

57:41about what is socialism or communism.

57:44And what I'm doing there is answering a

57:46question which a lot of people have.

57:48they've asked that question directly.

57:50And what you can actually figure out if

57:53you actually review the history, which

57:55the pamphlet does, is all of this stuff

57:59was designed by the British, including

58:02Adam Smith's writings, to destroy what

58:06Hamilton, Ben Franklin, and our founders

58:09were building as the American system.

58:11And that is direct. They say it all

58:14right. The first thing that happened

58:17after uh the American Revolution is

58:19Lafayette and several other people went

58:22over to France and they said, "Let's

58:24have an American revolution on the same

58:27principles in France." And what

58:30happened? Well, basically what happened

58:33was a British color revolution, probably

58:36one of the first of its kind, where they

58:39did a completely fake and deadly

58:44revolution. Lafayette ended up in prison

58:47for years and years and years. Everybody

58:50who was the British agent got killed in

58:52a thermodor. Uh, you know, the Jacobins

58:55came in and then what happened was who

58:59ended up controlling France? a dictator

59:02Napoleon who becomes in the actual

59:05British tradition the model that they

59:08use to create Adolf Hitler. Now, if that

59:12sort of, you know, gives you a little

59:14bit of flavor of what I'm developing

59:15here, the other part of it was that Karl

59:19Marx said that Friedrich List and Henry

59:24Kerry, the two kind of intellectual

59:27people who put out what the American

59:29system was during that period, were his

59:32biggest enemies.

59:35All right. Does that give you a flavor

59:37for for what the actual issue is here?

59:39Now, I get really ticked off when I see

59:42all these boomers on Fox actually saying

59:45to these kids who think socialism or

59:48communism is the answer. Um, don't they

59:51know that this never worked in history?

59:54Um, well, that lands like a, you know, a

59:58feather. All right. when you actually

1:00:00are talking about the lives that they

1:00:03live through, you know, the financial

1:00:05collapse, all these people getting

1:00:07bailed out, the fact that they had to

1:00:09live in the gig economy for years and

1:00:12years and years with no future. And they

1:00:14see these Marxists coming in, so-called

1:00:17Marxists, none of these people, AOC did

1:00:19not, I'll give you a clue, AOC has not

1:00:21read Karl Marx. I can say that as a

1:00:23fact.

1:00:24>> [laughter]

1:00:24>> um you know basically you know they're

1:00:28coming in they can say you have all this

1:00:30free stuff we'll do all this for you etc

1:00:32and they go for it. So we got a big job

1:00:35to do to actually show them what this

1:00:37is. It is a ideology which is designed

1:00:41to destroy. And if you read the

1:00:45Democratic Socialist of America's actual

1:00:49platform, you'll see it not just wiping

1:00:51out the Senate and wiping out the

1:00:54Supreme Court and having a parliamentary

1:00:56system, which is what they're proposing,

1:00:59wiping out the Constitution. But here's

1:01:02what's driving it, folks. They're not

1:01:05fans of Karl Marx. They're fans of this

1:01:07guy called Antonio Grahamsky, who was

1:01:10kept alive by the same British people. I

1:01:12go into that in the pamphlet. And he

1:01:14said, "How come the revolution didn't

1:01:17spread like Mark said it would?" And he

1:01:19said, "Aha,

1:01:21it's because workers actually believe in

1:01:25things like Christianity.

1:01:27They believe in the family. They believe

1:01:29in Western civilization. So the way

1:01:32we're gonna actually get the revolution

1:01:35for Marxism is we got to destroy Western

1:01:38civilization.

1:01:40And that's what the DSA actually says.

1:01:43They're out to destroy Western

1:01:46civilization.

1:01:47White people, white males in particular.

1:01:51Um the whole idea of a family and

1:01:53children, the whole idea that life is

1:01:56precious, the whole idea of

1:01:58Christianity, that there is a God, that

1:02:00there is a spiritual life apart from a

1:02:03material life of sex and all that other

1:02:05stuff. It started in the 1960s that, you

1:02:08know, the SDS and all that crap then.

1:02:11Now it's in its new most virulent form.

1:02:14And I'll give you another hit. it's

1:02:17being run from uh Cuba and other places

1:02:21like that uh to actually destroy the

1:02:23United States. So that's what we're up

1:02:24against and that's what I'm you know

1:02:26more or less documenting for people uh

1:02:28in the pamphlet I just wrote.

1:02:31>> So yeah, everyone keep an eye out for

1:02:33that. Make Okay. So everyone, if you

1:02:35want to get to know, excuse me, if you

1:03:43video is going to be on this Saturday.

1:03:44So, thank you. Uh, Old Gloria says, "P

1:03:47Prometheian action." Yes. Yes. Thank you

1:03:50for catching that. Yes, we're actually

1:03:52we are definitely moving people to

1:03:54action more than I ever expected. We

1:03:57have the circle community. It's not

1:04:00operating at the level that I know it

1:04:01could be operating at, but we are slowly

1:04:04building up Prometheian pack circle

1:04:06community to really bring more people

1:04:10into the process that's required in all

1:04:14republics that the citizenry actually

1:04:16participate in the government and that's

1:04:19literally what we're trying to do here

1:04:20with Prometheian pack and Prometheian

1:04:22action. So, thank you very much for

1:04:24joining us today. Old glory economics

1:04:28two phone calls and I have a CDL driving

1:04:31job. What do you guys think about using

1:04:33the transports as a byproduct of a good

1:04:37economy? If it's not being moved, it's

1:04:40not being made.

1:04:42Yes. Uh shipping trucking in the United

1:04:45States is probably a very good sense of

1:04:48how well the economy is doing. Uh,

1:04:50Barbara and Susan, any thoughts on this

1:04:52one?

1:04:55>> Well, I think Sean Duffy is doing a

1:04:56terrific job of getting rid of all the

1:04:58bad, you know, drivers who don't know

1:05:00what they're doing and can't speak

1:05:02English. Um, and, you know, trying to

1:05:05get our transportation system back into

1:05:07some kind of modern form. Uh, it's not

1:05:10modern. I mean, you know, if you if you

1:05:13drive to work in traffic for an hour and

1:05:16a half a day, that's really wasted time.

1:05:19uh you know from the standpoint of what

1:05:21we could be doing. So uh the issue is

1:05:24transportation. How do we actually get

1:05:27goods to market faster, more reliably?

1:05:30How do we fix our crazy rail system? Uh

1:05:34you know, how do we fix all of those

1:05:36things? And you know, I I really think

1:05:39uh that if we win the midterms, we're

1:05:41going to be doing that as the next step.

1:05:43They're already moving to uh you know

1:05:46make the entire uh airport and flight

1:05:48system uh safer. Uh you know the the

1:05:52systems which control your flights are

1:05:55so old uh you know that they short out.

1:05:58Um it's not just they don't have enough

1:06:00manpower, it's just crazy what's going

1:06:03on with this stuff. So I agree with you

1:06:05100%. Transportation is an essential

1:06:09part of the economy and we've got to get

1:06:12it completely modernized uh to make it,

1:06:15you know, not the ridiculous thing that

1:06:17it is at this point.

1:06:20>> Hey, Adam, there's a

1:06:22>> there's a super chat from Dusilla which

1:06:26I would like you to take.

1:06:28>> Uh

1:06:30yes, right now.

1:06:31>> Yeah.

1:06:33>> So, okay. Dusilla says, "Every place I

1:06:36go, I place at least 10 flyers in

1:06:38people's door handles. Strike up a

1:06:40conversation at the cleaners,

1:06:42hairdresser, phone shop about voting,

1:06:44and then bring out your flyers. I love

1:06:46you all and have learned so much."

1:06:50>> All right. Well, thank you, Dusilla.

1:06:52That is exactly what people should be

1:06:54doing. Um, and I wanted to take the

1:06:57opportunity to uh share my screen.

1:07:03Um,

1:07:05hold on.

1:07:07Uh, Adam, let me share the screen.

1:07:16Okay.

1:07:19Yeah. Uh because what Drisil is talking

1:07:22about and this is when we do our uh our

1:07:25push for our other website Prometheian

1:07:29Pack. Uh what Adam was referencing a

1:07:32minute ago was our Prometheian action

1:07:35newsletter. Uh that's where Barbara's

1:07:37new uh report on communism and Marxism

1:07:41is going to be probably in a couple of

1:07:43weeks. Uh that's our policy arm, but we

1:07:46do have a political arm registered under

1:07:49the Federal Election Commission,

1:07:50Prometheian PAC, so that we can directly

1:07:54intervene into the midterm elections. Uh

1:07:58and there's two things I want to

1:08:00highlight here uh for our audience. The

1:08:03first is the fact that if you want to be

1:08:05more politically connected with us, join

1:08:09our midterm boot camp, which you can

1:08:11access up here in the corner. midterm

1:08:14boot camp signup. Every Monday night, I

1:08:17conduct

1:08:18uh a discussion with hundreds and

1:08:22hundreds of top activists all over the

1:08:25country um to discuss how we can message

1:08:29Donald Trump's message. Uh so I

1:08:32encourage people to go there and sign up

1:08:34for the boot camp. What Dusilla is

1:08:36referencing is we have been producing

1:08:39halfpage flyers that people can use uh

1:08:43in these elections. And if you sign up

1:08:45for the boot camp, you will be among the

1:08:48first to get notified when we open up

1:08:52orders for this new half-page flyer.

1:08:55This will be the final one that we do

1:08:57for the elections. what's really at

1:09:00stake in the midterms. And it makes

1:09:02clear that this is actually a fight

1:09:04between the American system and the

1:09:07British system, which is what the back

1:09:09page of this flyer really goes out of

1:09:12its way to highlight. And I I think this

1:09:15is going to be extremely important given

1:09:16what I had mentioned that we're in a

1:09:18war. We're in a war between two systems.

1:09:21This is not a political fight in any

1:09:23kind of traditional sense. This is not a

1:09:26series of issues where you like enough

1:09:29of them from this guy that you're going

1:09:30to vote for them or you like this

1:09:32candidate or honestly you don't like

1:09:34that candidate. This is a fight between

1:09:36two forces that represent two systems

1:09:39and in this particular midterm election

1:09:42voting for the Republicans. How whatever

1:09:45the quality of your particular candidate

1:09:48may be is a vote for Donald Trump and

1:09:51the American system. And that's the

1:09:53point we want to get out to people. This

1:09:55flyer is at the printer. So, we haven't

1:09:57opened it up for orders yet. But again,

1:10:00if you go to the Prometheian pack Oh, I

1:10:04don't think I did I share that properly?

1:10:06No, I didn't. Hang on. Let me I'm

1:10:10talking about something which I actually

1:10:12hadn't shared.

1:10:14Just a minute.

1:10:28While we're waiting, everyone, thank you

1:10:29so much for your patience. I have We're

1:10:32going to be taking plenty more super

1:10:33chats and then I do have even more

1:10:36questions from our email audience here.

1:10:38Let me pull this up.

1:10:39>> Yeah. Uh again, this isn't on our

1:10:42website yet because it's at the printer,

1:10:43but I wanted people to see it. Uh this

1:10:46is a two-page flyer. The first page

1:10:48basically says what's at stake in the

1:10:50midterms and the second page is to

1:10:54really make clear to people that this is

1:10:56the battle between two systems. So

1:10:58again, if you sign up on Prometheian

1:11:00Pack, which Adam has right there, you

1:11:03will be notified as soon as this is

1:11:05ready for order.

1:11:10Thank you, Susan.

1:11:12Yeah, we've been we've been actually

1:11:14sending out a lot of these flyers across

1:11:16the country as our friend here has told

1:11:19us. We have Thank again. Thank you,

1:11:21Drilla. We have so many people now

1:11:24across the country that are actively

1:11:26engaging their fellow American citizens

1:11:30with our ideas. So, thank you very much,

1:11:33Dusilla, and thank you for everyone

1:11:35who's still with us today. We have

1:11:37plenty so much more to come. Uh let's

1:11:40take this one here. Uh La Cavalosa,

1:11:44thank you so much for joining us,

1:11:46friend. Labor in the end is the true

1:11:49value pre- AI and post AI. For instance,

1:11:54gold is only valuable until someone

1:11:56labored to bring it out from the earth.

1:12:00I want to I want to expand on this just

1:12:02a moment. I think it's more than just

1:12:04the physical labors of the hands, but

1:12:06it's also the labor of the human mind.

1:12:09And so you have to take both the labor

1:12:12of the mind and the labor of the hands

1:12:14and think about well gold you know okay

1:12:16you you don't you have to purify the

1:12:19gold that's entire chemistry right so

1:12:22you have both chemistry and the mining

1:12:25itself both are labor intellectual labor

1:12:28and physical labor to dig out the

1:12:29natural resources but this was Abraham

1:12:33Lincoln's big argument about labor

1:12:37>> Barbara I think you could say something

1:12:39on this.

1:12:41>> Yeah. Well, if you actually look at

1:12:44Lincoln's economist, Henry Kerry, he has

1:12:46a very famous uh description which is,

1:12:50you know, in a lot of the things we have

1:12:51up on the toolkit on the website and you

1:12:54can also find it uh you know, basically

1:12:57uh in my new pamphlet where I quote from

1:12:59it uh extensively. But he says there's

1:13:01really two systems before the world.

1:13:04There's the American system which seeks

1:13:07to raise human creativity which sees

1:13:10government as having the function of

1:13:13actually serving human labor, human

1:13:16creativity, fostering it, fostering

1:13:19discoveries and discoveries and

1:13:21inventions so that you can always

1:13:23advance your economy uh you know to the

1:13:26next generation and the present

1:13:28generation. All right. you don't run.

1:13:30The other kind of of economy is the

1:13:33British system which sees you know

1:13:36basically uh looting resources from

1:13:40countries which are never developed uh

1:13:42taking them out of there uh and using it

1:13:45for the profit of the overall system in

1:13:49multiple different ways which have no

1:13:51relationship to the actual product which

1:13:54is being produced. Let's just take oil

1:13:56as an example. The price of oil is set

1:13:59on the London futures market. It's also

1:14:02set by the insurance companies who

1:14:04insure the ships which bring it to us.

1:14:06Uh at least that was completely the the

1:14:09the world post 1971.

1:14:12And then all of the profits that the oil

1:14:15producing countries make end up in

1:14:17London banks and speculating further on

1:14:20these futures contracts etc. Right?

1:14:23That's the British system. And they

1:14:25basically say what's primary is we the

1:14:29capitalists not labor. Labor is you know

1:14:32basically something to be exploited to

1:14:35have the cheapest price possible which

1:14:37is how the argument for why we

1:14:40outsourced our entire industrial base to

1:14:42China which was insane. you know, you

1:14:46you you see it during COVID. We didn't

1:14:48have anything to fight with COVID with.

1:14:51All right? I mean, there's lots of parts

1:14:52of the COVID fight which, you know,

1:14:54actually make it very clear to people

1:14:56what an actual physical economy is. Uh

1:15:00we had to build, you know, all of the

1:15:02machines which kept people alive at the

1:15:05initial part of it from scratch because

1:15:09we didn't have them. We didn't have any

1:15:11production capability. If you ever tried

1:15:13to go find a screw in a hardware store,

1:15:17uh, you know, prior to what's happening

1:15:20now, and you needed a certain screw, uh,

1:15:23if you went to Home Depot or any place

1:15:25else, very often you couldn't find it

1:15:27because we stopped making things like

1:15:29that because we had no industry to

1:15:31service the screws and we could get them

1:15:33from China. Uh, so, you know, all of

1:15:36those things are the differences between

1:15:39these two systems. think one of them is

1:15:42dedicated to the human mind and what the

1:15:45human mind can do. The other thinks

1:15:47we're just like animals and our

1:15:50immediate material satisfaction is what

1:15:53life is really all about. So and then it

1:15:57gets more perverse from there in terms

1:15:58of you know sexuality is really the key

1:16:02point of how humans have pleasure as

1:16:06opposed to the pleasure which comes from

1:16:09actually a new discovery which benefits

1:16:12everybody. That is the more profound

1:16:14pleasure I would tell you that right

1:16:15now. So uh that's how I basically talk

1:16:19about it.

1:16:21Thank you, Barbara, and thank you, La

1:16:24Cavalosa, for joining us today. Please

1:16:26make sure you're subscribed to our

1:16:28channel. We're going to be doing our

1:16:29next video on Saturday. And again, we do

1:16:32have a free email newsletter. I have

1:16:33both a daily and a weekly subscription.

1:16:36Links in the description. Thank you,

1:16:38Ron. Thank you very much for joining us

1:16:40today. Really appreciate. We are 100%

1:16:43viewer and reader supported. We don't

1:16:46have corporate sponsors. We're not doing

1:16:48corporate ad readouts into our videos.

1:16:50So, thank you very much. Every little

1:16:52bit helps us in our mission. So, thank

1:16:54you. And so, funny to thank you for

1:16:57sending in this question. I'm going to

1:16:58take read this along with a set of

1:17:01questions from our email newsletter. And

1:17:03I know we already kind of talked about

1:17:06this a little bit, but let's talk about

1:17:07it again, which is about refining

1:17:09capacity because I think people are now

1:17:12waking up to the idea that they have to

1:17:14begin to understand how we actually make

1:17:16stuff in this country. Now, so funny

1:17:18too. Thag says 40 years between

1:17:21refineries is sheer sabotage. It is. But

1:17:24let's not forget that California

1:17:28has also closed over 30 refineries in

1:17:31that same span. I Okay, so I moved to

1:17:33Cal San Diego area in the last two

1:17:35months. I will say my the one concept

1:17:38that comes to my mind to characterize

1:17:41California unfortunately is systemic

1:17:44incompetence.

1:17:47literally at every single everywhere you

1:17:49turn in California, you see something

1:17:51that's just absolutely incompetent. So

1:17:53yeah, so thank you for sending that in.

1:17:55I'm going to read some questions here.

1:17:57Uh so Claude says, "With the US domestic

1:17:59oil being light crude, why do we export

1:18:03the light crude and import heavy crude

1:18:05for our existing fineries? Why not build

1:18:08light crude refineries and become more

1:18:10self-sufficient and convert our existing

1:18:12refineries to light crude?" I don't I

1:18:14think I think that's kind of hard to do.

1:18:16Thank you, the Prometheian crew for all

1:18:18your good work. Thank you, Claude, for

1:18:19sending that in. And Melissa says, "I

1:18:21know that we can't have refineries built

1:18:24overnight, but I still don't understand

1:18:27why we can't build at least one or get

1:18:30one started." I think we have the ones

1:18:33that we have are super old. They are. I

1:18:36heard that they are saying, "No, we

1:18:38don't need new ones just to help us

1:18:40rebuild the ones that we have." I don't

1:18:42trust anything these people have to say.

1:18:44Hey, let's take that trillion dollars

1:18:46they are wanting to give us as

1:18:48dividends. I'd rather take that money

1:18:50and build a state-of-the-art refinery.

1:18:52Heck, let the government own one and

1:18:54state-of-the-art and we'll run it top

1:18:56speed when needed. I'm just tired of

1:18:58this same exact problem, just a

1:19:01different year. I think we all are.

1:19:04Agreed, Melissa. 100%. Cindy says,

1:19:07"Trump has said that the uh that between

1:19:10US oil and Venezuelan oil, we don't need

1:19:13oil from the Middle East, but the price

1:19:15of gas and especially diesel is still

1:19:17high. I've heard we need to create more

1:19:20processing plants here in the US in

1:19:22order to make the oil that's actually

1:19:24useful usually bring the prices down. Do

1:19:26you know if this is in the works? Has

1:19:28there been any discussion about how long

1:19:30this will take? It's going to take a few

1:19:31more years. Has Trump explained this in

1:19:33the public in any way? I may have just

1:19:35missed it. In order to mitigate the gas

1:19:38pricriced angst affecting the midterms.

1:19:41Thank you for all you do, Cindy.

1:19:45And I think yes, I think that's it.

1:19:47That's question number seven. So,

1:19:49Barbara and Susan, this is a hot topic.

1:19:51You know, people didn't understand where

1:19:53the price of gas came from, but now I

1:19:56think more people are waking up. So,

1:19:58what are your thoughts on the price of

1:19:59gas? When is it coming down? What's the

1:20:02mechanism here?

1:20:04Well, first to respond to uh uh the

1:20:07question on the screen. Yeah, 40 years

1:20:10between refineries is is sheer sta s

1:20:12sabotage and what California is doing in

1:20:15shutting down refineries is part of the

1:20:19same thing. I mean, I I said, you know,

1:20:21you're dealing with hostile forces,

1:20:23whether it's Zalinsky bombing, you know,

1:20:26diesel production facilities in Russia

1:20:29or Mark Carney carrying out trade war or

1:20:32the Fed board raising interest rates or

1:20:36attacks on the US bond market. But we

1:20:38also have attacks from within and you

1:20:41know, Gavin Newsome and his California

1:20:43policies are certainly part of that. Um

1:20:47there you know it's there are other

1:20:48options uh and and I think the

1:20:51administration has begun to explore the

1:20:54question of using the defense production

1:20:56act to kickstart some of these things

1:20:59back into into action. Uh but again

1:21:02largely the problem is we didn't build

1:21:04and now we are there in answer to some

1:21:06of those questions. There is a huge

1:21:09facility uh which is being built in

1:21:11Brownsville, Texas. But again it's not

1:21:13expected to be online till 2030 because

1:21:16it does take time to build these kinds

1:21:19of things. Maybe that can be expedited.

1:21:21Honestly, it should be expedited and

1:21:23this could be a case where

1:21:26different powers of the US government

1:21:28like the defense production act and

1:21:31other kinds of powers perhaps could be

1:21:33used more robustly to accelerate this

1:21:36process. Uh but I think the fact that

1:21:39people are beginning to figure this out

1:21:42because look, you know, the the what

1:21:45again we'll go back to the world of the

1:21:46consultants because that's how political

1:21:48campaigns are run. You're supposed to

1:21:52respond

1:21:53simply as a reactor

1:21:56uh uh reacting to what is physically

1:22:00affecting you. This this gets and this

1:22:02also gets back to the discussion we were

1:22:04just having about what is the driver of

1:22:06the economy. Is the driver of the

1:22:08economy

1:22:10um you know material or is which is how

1:22:13all economic theory works you know

1:22:16material pain pleasure whatever or is

1:22:19the driver of the economy this higher

1:22:22spiritual question of actually doing the

1:22:25good. Um, and that that that that you

1:22:30have to carry that same kind of fight

1:22:31into the political campaign because

1:22:34honestly, you know, given everything

1:22:37that we're seeing now, they are just

1:22:39going to keep drilling down in terms of

1:22:41keeping pre prices high. I mean, maybe

1:22:43Trump is going to be able to pull off

1:22:45some kind of hail Mary. He's very good

1:22:47at doing that in somehow breaking the

1:22:49back, especially on these question of

1:22:51oil prices uh before November. But

1:22:55again, let me even caution people there

1:22:58because it's not November. The absentee

1:23:00ballot vote absentee ballots are going

1:23:03out in the next two to three weeks in in

1:23:05some places like Virginia. They're

1:23:06already out there in terms of early

1:23:08voting. So, the campaign is going on

1:23:09right now. So, what people are feeling

1:23:12in terms of gas prices and so on is

1:23:15probably what is going to be affecting

1:23:17them at the point they go to vote. The

1:23:19question is, what is the basis upon

1:23:21which they cast their vote? Do they cast

1:23:23their vote from the standpoint of how

1:23:26they feel materially at this moment or

1:23:29do they cast their vote from this

1:23:30spiritual question of do we want to save

1:23:33our country and do we want to fix all

1:23:35these problems that are currently being

1:23:38exploited

1:23:40to cause further economic pain at this

1:23:42particular point. Um, so the fact that

1:23:45these kinds of discussions about

1:23:48California sabotage, about how insane

1:23:51we've been with our energy policy over

1:23:54the past 30 years and so on, these are

1:23:56extremely important because it puts

1:23:58people's minds in the right place to

1:24:01recognize that what you're experiencing

1:24:04at this particular moment is not because

1:24:06of something Donald Trump did today.

1:24:09It's because of policies that our our

1:24:12nation foolishly adopted or was attacked

1:24:16to adopt and that this administration is

1:24:19fighting to change that.

1:24:24>> Thank you very much. Susan

1:24:27Barbara, any any thoughts on this issue

1:24:29of of refineries as a strategic issue at

1:24:33this juncture in history? Well, it's

1:24:35really critical for people to to get it

1:24:38in their heads the difference between

1:24:40money which is manipulated out there and

1:24:44as a friend of mine used to say money

1:24:47doesn't produce anything. Money is a

1:24:50dumb exchange mechanism. All right.

1:24:53Period. And a story. What's important is

1:24:56physically what do we got in terms of

1:24:59you know just draw yourself for any one

1:25:01of these problems? Just draw yourself a

1:25:05a a sheet. We used to call it a process

1:25:07sheet. Where does this resource come

1:25:10from? Uh what country does it come from?

1:25:13How does it get here? How does are there

1:25:16are there places where it can be

1:25:18blocked? Is it being blocked? Uh and and

1:25:22put yourself through that physical

1:25:24economic exercise in terms of really

1:25:27thinking about the different sectors of

1:25:28our economy. Take food. All right? Why

1:25:31do we have such a problem with beef

1:25:33prices at this point? Well, because the

1:25:35cattle herd is at its lowest point in

1:25:38years and years and years. Why is that?

1:25:41Well, go back to the fact that Bill

1:25:42Gates was having us eat bugs uh and

1:25:45other things. And there wasn't they were

1:25:48trying to destroy the market for beef on

1:25:51top of the fact that you had a bunch of,

1:25:53you know, cartels running uh the beef

1:25:57processing industry. All right. So that

1:26:00causes that problem in terms of beef.

1:26:03It's going to take a while to bring the

1:26:06cattle herd up and you got to support

1:26:08the farming community to do that. And

1:26:10then you got to look at the whole

1:26:12farming community. How many kids are

1:26:15going to farm at this point and stay on

1:26:17the farm? You know, that's really not a

1:26:20very attractive proposition for people

1:26:22because their mom and dad are working

1:26:25two jobs to actually keep the farm

1:26:27going. uh in terms of what's happened to

1:26:30our overall agricultural sector except

1:26:32for big farming. Is big farming actually

1:26:35producing food? No, they're producing

1:26:37ethanol or they're producing soybeans to

1:26:41export because they can't make money uh

1:26:44producing real food. Um our fruits and

1:26:47vegetables all come from Mexico. You see

1:26:50all of these FDA recalls going on over

1:26:53and over and over again. Lettuce from

1:26:55where? Mexico. Um, so you know, this is

1:26:59a big problem in terms of the physical

1:27:03economy. Then on top of it, you know,

1:27:06Trump has been jawboning the major oil

1:27:08companies. He's saying, "You guys are

1:27:11full of it and you're making too much

1:27:13profit off of this, indicating to me

1:27:15that he's he's telling them, you better

1:27:18come to Jesus or we're going to

1:27:20basically uh, you know, come after you."

1:27:22These guys are not many of these

1:27:25companies are not into America first.

1:27:29All right? They're into when Trump had

1:27:31brought them in when we first did the

1:27:34opening of the Venezuela option, they

1:27:36said, "Hey, you know, we'd rather not

1:27:39invest in the resources to go find new

1:27:42sources of oil or gas. We'd rather do

1:27:46shareholder value on our existing

1:27:50uh way we operate. All right. And you

1:27:54know, he's he's kicked them and kicked

1:27:56them and kicked them till he's finally

1:27:57got people willing to go down to

1:27:59Venezuela and exploit that source. But

1:28:02they got to build

1:28:04because Venezuela is a rooted country.

1:28:07It's got the oil. All right. But, you

1:28:10know, it's refineries and everything

1:28:11else, the shipping capacity has all been

1:28:14destroyed by socialism and Hugo Chavez

1:28:17and all that other nonsense. So, you

1:28:20know, that's where we are, folks. And

1:28:23it's not because of anything this

1:28:24president has done. It's because, you

1:28:27know, basically of what was done to us

1:28:29by previous administrations. I like JD's

1:28:32argument which he made at the all-in

1:28:35forum. He said, "Would you rather vote

1:28:37for the people who are trying to fix

1:28:39this

1:28:41or would you rather vote for the people

1:28:43who created the problem?" I think that's

1:28:46a good opening line to actually talk

1:28:49about what's going on.

1:28:52>> Thank you, Barbara. Thank Thank you,

1:28:54Susan. And thank you, Funny, for joining

1:28:56us. Again, uh please make sure you

1:28:57subscribe to our free email newsletter.

1:29:00Love to have you here. We have uh a

1:29:03friend here from No Limit Arcade. Maybe

1:29:06you ladies can help me decipher this

1:29:07because I couldn't figure out exactly.

1:29:09Thank you for identifying the Democrat

1:29:12party as the Democratic Party. Your

1:29:15video endorsement will be very helpful

1:29:17for our midterm DNC campaign.

1:29:22Uh Barb and Susan, you want to respond

1:29:23to this one? I couldn't figure out what

1:29:25this person was trying to say exactly.

1:29:28>> You're supposed to actually call them

1:29:29the Democrat party to slam them. I agree

1:29:32with that. All right. U but you know, I

1:29:35don't think Democratic,

1:29:37frankly, is any more of a slander than

1:29:40Democrat. I'll be blunt with you. we're

1:29:43a republic, we're not a democracy. Um,

1:29:46and that I think is the more essential

1:29:50argument. Uh, so, uh, I realize I I

1:29:54violated the catechism, but I'm not

1:29:56really into catechisms in terms of

1:29:58politics anyway. So, thank you very much

1:30:00for that observation.

1:30:03>> Thank Thank you. Thank you, Lo. No

1:30:05limit. I'm pretty certain I've seen your

1:30:06name here. Thank you for joining us

1:30:08again. Uh, love to have you here. Okay,

1:30:10now I'm going to take another question

1:30:12here and some from our email newsletter.

1:30:14Uh, Cool Roy says, "Trump wants

1:30:17Americans to get dividends. Globalists

1:30:20want our enemies to get money to get our

1:30:24money." I agree. And let's take these

1:30:27few other questions here on the dividend

1:30:30which people are questioning. So, let's

1:30:33take a few here.

1:30:35So Ken says, "I love you guys and Trump,

1:30:37but I have to call you and the and the

1:30:40president out on a $5,000 dividend." No,

1:30:43Barbara, I'm not a spammer. This is not

1:30:45a brilliant idea. It would add another

1:30:471.2 trillion to the 40 trillion in debt.

1:30:50Tariffs will pay for it. Really? Because

1:30:53what I see is that Trump is spending the

1:30:55tariff money as fast as it's coming in

1:30:57and then some, and not towards the debt.

1:31:00How do I know? Because the debt keeps

1:31:02going up, not down. Do you think we're

1:31:04morons out here who can't do math? Would

1:31:06a corporation survive when they're

1:31:08drowning in this kind of astronomical

1:31:10debt? I'll gladly eat my words if the

1:31:13debt starts coming down, but if we're

1:31:15all honest, it's not going to. Why?

1:31:17Because Trump and Congress can't control

1:31:19their appetite for spending. You guys

1:31:21have a blind spot when it comes to

1:31:23Trump, and it's concerning. You're

1:31:24acting like the Democrats did. You're

1:31:27acting like the Democrats did with

1:31:28Obama, worshiping Trump on everything he

1:31:31says and does. If you're challenged on

1:31:33him on anything, I've never seen it. I

1:31:36want Trump to succeed, but we have to

1:31:38call him out when he is wrong. So, tear

1:31:40down that statue of him. He's not the

1:31:43second coming of Christ. I don't think

1:31:45we ever said that. Uh, still love you

1:31:47guys though. Believe it or not, most of

1:31:49your work is most of your work is

1:31:50awesome. Glad you're on our side. Uh,

1:31:53you've taught me a lot. Thank you. Thank

1:31:54you, Ken, for your honest question.

1:31:56Pamela says, "Why are we being bribed

1:31:59with a $5,000 dividend?" So if it

1:32:02doesn't happen, will we get to will we

1:32:04get to suffer even more? Why is it

1:32:07always at our expense? Thank you,

1:32:10Pamela. And Barbara says, "Perhaps asked

1:32:12already your opinion of giving 5,000

1:32:15instead of paying down our national

1:32:17debt.

1:32:25Well, uh, you know, we'll start with

1:32:28with the dead hawks here." Okay. Um, you

1:32:32know, Alexander Hamilton said a national

1:32:34debt is actually a blessing. How the

1:32:36hell could that be true? Um, and Scott

1:32:39Bess says the way you deal with this

1:32:41debt, uh, is you actually first have to

1:32:44grow much much faster than the debt. You

1:32:48don't outright repudiate it and you pay

1:32:50it off over time. you know, the

1:32:52Revolutionary War debt, uh, the economy

1:32:55got stabilized under Hamilton, and I

1:32:57don't believe it was actually fully paid

1:32:59off until sometime in the 1800s.

1:33:02And yet, the country went from total

1:33:04bankruptcy under Hamilton. You would say

1:33:08this country is bankrupt. It doesn't

1:33:10have a banking system. It doesn't have

1:33:12anything by which to pay this debt or

1:33:14anything else. and he managed to build a

1:33:16system which actually said we're going

1:33:19to grow our way out of this. What does

1:33:22that mean? Well, you know, we have all

1:33:25sorts of investment coming in uh to the

1:33:29economy uh from, you know, I think it's

1:33:32something like $17 trillion now. And

1:33:35what's Trump doing with that? Is he

1:33:37using it to

1:33:39throw it over to a debt

1:33:42which mostly comes from the

1:33:47failure to deal with the financial

1:33:49collapse of 2008 and the policies of

1:33:52printing money by the Federal Reserve

1:33:54and the Congress before Trump actually

1:33:57got in there. What is he doing with

1:33:59that? He's saying, "Let's rebuild the

1:34:02country first and foremost. If we don't

1:34:05do that, we're nothing but debt slaves

1:34:08to the uh crazy debt which wasn't

1:34:11created by us. All right? So, that's my

1:34:15view of it. I don't think there's any

1:34:17way you can deal with the debt except to

1:34:19grow 100% faster than the debt. Uh I

1:34:22don't think there's any way to deal with

1:34:24levels of inflation in the intervening

1:34:27period. uh except to make workers have

1:34:30money to spend which is a much much

1:34:32higher rate than the interest rate being

1:34:35charged by all of the predators. Uh it's

1:34:38a very delicate process. I mean when

1:34:40when Trump came in he asked Scott

1:34:43Bessant bluntly, how do we rebuild the

1:34:46economy without blowing up the entire

1:34:49world economy which is actually based on

1:34:53all of this speculative financial

1:34:55system. And that's not an easy thing to

1:34:58do. It's like uh one of my friends

1:35:01actually described it to me. It's like

1:35:03trying to change a tire while the car is

1:35:06moving.

1:35:07All right. Um and we don't want to

1:35:11basically have an economic collapse. So

1:35:14we've got to grow baby grow along with

1:35:17drill baby drill. And that was

1:35:20Hamilton's solution. I'll go with that

1:35:22because I've seen it work in the past.

1:35:24The same was true of Lincoln and every

1:35:27American system economist. We spent

1:35:30hugely to win World War II. We got out

1:35:33of that debt by producing more uh in the

1:35:37in the years after the war and having

1:35:39built a production machine during the

1:35:42war. And that's how you actually address

1:35:45the debt frankly. And you know that that

1:35:49that's what we have to do.

1:35:52>> Yeah. uh uh going back to one of the

1:35:54previous questions which also works with

1:35:57these questions. They said I'd rather

1:35:59spend the money building refineries, you

1:36:02know, than get the dividend. Uh I don't

1:36:04see why you can't do both. I mean, the

1:36:07president has made a very clear point,

1:36:09you know, he said you you have paid for

1:36:12these bad policies. Now we have good

1:36:15policies and you should benefit by those

1:36:19good policies. Now remember, there's a

1:36:21caveat on this. You've got to get a

1:36:23Republican House and a Republican

1:36:24Senate, friends. If we get a Republican

1:36:27House and a and a Republican Senate, uh

1:36:30e even with whatever codery of rhinos

1:36:33and rhinos are still going to be in

1:36:34there, that is going to be such an

1:36:37overwhelming

1:36:38mandate because it means Trump has

1:36:41broken the so-called midterm curse. He's

1:36:45overridden all of the psychological

1:36:47warfare to give him a Republican Senate

1:36:50and a Republican House. Everything he's

1:36:53done in the first two years can be

1:36:55supercharged.

1:36:57You know, some of the roadblocks,

1:37:00remember, out of the original tariff

1:37:03regime, he was ready to give people a

1:37:05$2,000

1:37:06uh uh rebate basically. Well, that was

1:37:10jammed up by the by the Supreme Court.

1:37:13But why did that happen? Because the

1:37:16president has to do so much by executive

1:37:18orders because he does not have a

1:37:21Congress which by and large will listen

1:37:23to him. If you give him a Congress which

1:37:25listens to him, he is going to be able

1:37:29to carry out the kind of economic

1:37:31activity where the 1.5 trillion, that's

1:37:35the estimate I've heard in terms of what

1:37:36these dividends would be, is going to be

1:37:39a drop in the bucket in the process of

1:37:42paying down the debt.

1:37:47>> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.

1:37:49And thank you, Cool Roy, and to all of

1:37:51our email subscribers for sending in

1:37:52your questions.

1:37:53>> Oh, he also said something else. If you

1:37:55caught it, he's he wants to put strings

1:37:58on that, which is you can only spend the

1:37:59money in the United States,

1:38:02right? Which means it's going to go

1:38:03right back into the economy and help the

1:38:06economy grow even more.

1:38:11Thank you. Thank you, Kroy, for sending

1:38:13in your question. I'm going to take this

1:38:14one here from Dvidora. A friend's

1:38:17son-in-law deals with oil and gas and

1:38:19has stated the reason gas is up because

1:38:22the escalation of the war into the Suez

1:38:25Canal. The Iranbacked Houthis took a

1:38:29Yemen KSA port right at a choke point

1:38:32outside the Suez Canal canal also

1:38:34started in 2023.

1:38:37Thank you Da for sending that in.

1:38:38Barbara Susan, any thoughts on this one?

1:38:42Well, [clears throat] that's an

1:38:43interesting question because I don't

1:38:45think we actually know what's going on

1:38:46here. Okay. Uh I I think you know there

1:38:50were there are reports of a meeting

1:38:52between the Houthies uh and the head of

1:38:56Sentcom, Brad Cooper, in which the

1:38:58Houthies essentially said, "Our war is

1:39:00with Saudi Arabia. It's not with the

1:39:03United States. and anything carrying oil

1:39:05that's flagged as the United States

1:39:07tanker or anything else we will not

1:39:09attack nor will we attack even things

1:39:12from uh you know uh other Gulf countries

1:39:16only attack things from Saudi Arabia.

1:39:19Saudi Arabia in turn said well that

1:39:22means we have to cut off our exports to

1:39:24Europe.

1:39:27Now what do you think is going on here?

1:39:30That's pretty interesting. Okay, given

1:39:33Europe's present divining of itself as

1:39:37an enemy of the United States on all

1:39:39fronts. Um, so I'm not sure we know what

1:39:43the picture actually is here in terms of

1:39:46what's going on. Trump said on the

1:39:48tarmac yesterday that he expects the war

1:39:52in the Middle East to end very soon. Um,

1:39:56and most of what's going on like in all

1:39:59wars is not what Fox News and the idiots

1:40:03like you know um that idiot general they

1:40:07have on all the time tells you is going

1:40:10on. All right. Uh what is going on is

1:40:13all in back channels. It involves all

1:40:16the major powers in the world discussing

1:40:18this. Uh it involves levels of hybrid

1:40:21warfare. uh you know this whole push

1:40:23which was said that you know basically

1:40:25China was uh giving information to Iran

1:40:29to shoot the bases in in Jordan etc.

1:40:32Well China satellite just disappeared

1:40:36uh you know uh about a week ago and uh

1:40:40it was coupled with an announcement that

1:40:42we do have weapons in space uh coming

1:40:45from the administration. So I don't

1:40:48think we know half of what's going on

1:40:50here. I only know what the president's

1:40:52intention is and everybody who wants to

1:40:55look at this should go back and read the

1:40:58national security strategy of the United

1:41:00States which is up on the webs white

1:41:03house website and it tells you exactly

1:41:06what we intend to do. We don't want to

1:41:08be in the Middle East anymore. We want

1:41:11to be in the Western Hemisphere. And if

1:41:14you look at what Marco Rubio was just

1:41:16doing, he was down in Latin America

1:41:19meeting with all those countries for two

1:41:20purposes. One, how can we build your

1:41:23economies? Two, how can we work together

1:41:25to completely wipe out the drug trade?

1:41:29Pretty important stuff which is not

1:41:31being reported in the news media. And

1:41:33then on top of it, he comes out and

1:41:36says, "Oh, and by the way, we're going

1:41:37to be redeploying

1:41:39uh certain military funds that were

1:41:42formerly allocated to Europe and the

1:41:46Middle East and we're going to be giving

1:41:48them to uh these countries in Latin

1:41:50America." So, I think there's a lot

1:41:54going on which we do not know, which

1:41:56will only become clear later on. But I

1:41:59know what this president's intention is

1:42:02and what and he's doing everything

1:42:04possible to actually bring that reality

1:42:06into being.

1:42:12Whoops.

1:42:15Thank you very much, Barbara. And thank

1:42:16you, Dad, with your generous super chat.

1:42:19Thank you for joining us every week. I

1:42:21hope this answered your question. Um,

1:42:24>> hey Adam, there's uh there's another

1:42:25good comment in the chat from Greg Draw

1:42:29Horn where he says Medicare for all is a

1:42:32bribe for votes costing $30 trillion. So

1:42:37I good good call Greg.

1:42:42>> Any any com any more comments on that

1:42:45one? [laughter]

1:42:46I

1:42:48>> I mean, you know, I mean, this is I I

1:42:50was outside the polls on primary day

1:42:53near somebody who was campaigning for

1:42:55the DSA poster boy, Abdul Elsed. And

1:42:59literally over and over, all day. Money

1:43:03in your pocket. Money in your pocket.

1:43:05Money in your pocket. Medicare for all.

1:43:08Medicare for all. So, you know, Donald

1:43:10Trump turns around and says, "I think

1:43:12hardworking Americans should get a

1:43:14$5,000 dividend out of the fact that our

1:43:16economy is working." And, you know, that

1:43:19and people are getting [clears throat]

1:43:20their panties in a bunch over that when,

1:43:22as as Greg points out, the entire

1:43:24Democrat and Democratic socialist

1:43:27platform is to, you know, open up the

1:43:31spigot from the federal government

1:43:32allegedly to put it into your pocket.

1:43:38Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Greg.

1:43:40>> Let me mention one thing. Um, I'm gonna

1:43:42have to leave in seven minutes because I

1:43:44have a speaking engagement at one. So,

1:43:47if I disappear, it's not internet

1:43:49problems. It's a previous engagement.

1:43:52>> Now, after you uh after you logged back

1:43:54in, Susan, your your your stream today

1:43:56has been stable. So,

1:43:57>> yeah, it has been.

1:43:58>> Okay. Thank Thank you, Greg, for for

1:44:01reaching out with your comment there. I

1:44:02have one here from Jeff in Utah. Um, is

1:44:06there anything better than getting a

1:44:08welcome back from Adam? Thank you. Thank

1:44:11you for the kind words. Adam, can you

1:44:13put that large Prometheian action

1:44:15drawing on the back of a t-shirt and a

1:44:16smaller Okay. Yes, I can do that. I also

1:44:21have promised that we were going to do

1:44:23other things like bumper stickers for

1:44:26Prometheian action. Okay, here's what I

1:44:28need. I need help, guys. I have so many

1:44:31projects. my executive function limit is

1:44:34maxed out and I know what I need is I

1:44:38need to work with somebody who can help

1:44:40me be help work with Prome me and

1:44:43Prometheian Action as a whole to develop

1:44:46more physical products for Prometheian

1:44:49Action. That means t-shirts, bumper

1:44:51stickers, all kinds of merchandise that

1:44:53I'm not even thinking of. So basically

1:44:55what I'm asking is to all you out there

1:44:57that are watching that like what we do,

1:45:00if you have experience with

1:45:02merchandising like running a I I we use

1:45:05Fourth Wall, but if you have experience

1:45:07using FourthWall or something like uh

1:45:10Teespring or what's the other one that

1:45:12that my friend's using? If if you have

1:45:15experience with doing that, if you like

1:45:17physical products, please reach out to

1:45:20me on x.com.

1:45:22Um let me turn this off. It's you see it

1:45:25x.com um adamsterman23.

1:45:29So reach out to me on x.com if you think

1:45:33you can help me build Prometheian

1:45:35Actions physical product catalog.

1:45:40>> Well, Adam, while we're at it, let me

1:45:42tell you what people at the Dallas

1:45:43convention appreciated. T-shirts that

1:45:47actually said the word Prometheian

1:45:48Action. because we now have so much

1:45:51spread out there, people recognize the

1:45:53name, they don't necessarily recognize

1:45:55the logo and and that way people could

1:45:58just zero in and say, "I love you. I'm

1:46:00with you." And so on. So that's that's

1:46:03an ask from our base at the uh

1:46:05convention.

1:46:06>> Yeah. Thank you. Yes. Uh and I just as

1:46:09some just as some uh some backstory on

1:46:13this, I had something called the America

1:46:15250 collection. Apparently, that term,

1:46:19the America 250 collection, was

1:46:21previously copyrighted and my all my

1:46:24t-shirts for America 250 got taken down.

1:46:27And that sold those t-shirts sold better

1:46:30than I ever expected. So, I know that

1:46:34our audience would definitely appreciate

1:46:36if we had more cool merch they could

1:46:38buy. So, again, anyone, if you think you

1:46:40have some previous experience doing

1:46:41this, you think you want to work with

1:46:43me, please reach out to me on x.com.

1:46:46Again, my handle is x.com adamsterman23.

1:46:51So, reach out to me on X and let's see

1:46:54what we can do together. Thank you,

1:46:55Jeff. I I promise you, I'm working on

1:46:57all this merch stuff. We'll find the

1:46:59right person and do all this. Thank you.

1:47:01Okay, I'm going to pull up some more

1:47:03super chats here. Uh,

1:47:06let's see. I had this one and this other

1:47:10one, I think,

1:47:12pulled up

1:47:14Brent Crude. No, not that one yet. So,

1:47:17yeah, let's let's take this one here and

1:47:19then I'm going to read some some other

1:47:22questions from the from our email

1:47:24newsletter to go along with it.

1:47:27Okay, so will Presidents Trump's

1:47:30economic strategy be able to saveave off

1:47:34a world war? As a grandparent, I worry

1:47:37that the globalists and the co will

1:47:41resort to it. Okay. And then I'm going

1:47:44to pull in some two other questions here

1:47:47from our email newsletter

1:47:50um which is on general strategy 24 and

1:47:5325. Okay. 24. [sighs]

1:47:58So Alexander says group thank you for

1:48:01all you do uh with all the media

1:48:03promoted setbacks experienced by the

1:48:05Trump administration recently especially

1:48:07through the courts. President Trump

1:48:09seems very calm and confident, which in

1:48:11the past has resulted in Trump

1:48:13victories. My question is, what

1:48:15specifically does the group believe is

1:48:18the basis of this calm demeanor?

1:48:22Thank you, Alexander. Eric says,

1:48:23"Trump's first term was deeply hindered

1:48:25by the Russia hoax and anti-Trump

1:48:27Congress, Paul Ryan and Co. likely his

1:48:30own VP, a corrupted cabinet, COVID, and

1:48:32so much more. This go-around is big. Uh

1:48:35thi this go around the bigger hinderers

1:48:38are Fed interest rate hikes, ridiculous

1:48:42Supreme Court rulings, Thoon not putting

1:48:44the Save America Act to the floor, woke

1:48:46right division, Massie MTV Carlson,

1:48:49others operators keeping the yen carry

1:48:52trade alive as much as possible,

1:48:54meththing with the debt markets bot

1:48:56mania on the web, leftist judges

1:48:58impeding article 2. There's got to be

1:49:01something coordinating this all at the

1:49:03highest level. Thank you, Eric. Eric and

1:49:06Penny says, "Regarding uh Oh, no. Okay.

1:49:08It was just it was just those questions.

1:49:10This is a different set." So, Alex,

1:49:12>> let me let me take the first ones and

1:49:14then I'll bid a do. Look, I I Alexander,

1:49:17I think you you've really hit at the key

1:49:19and it and it kind of segus into the

1:49:21next one, which is Trump knows this is a

1:49:24war. This is not about politics. And

1:49:26yeah, all the things the all the things

1:49:28the next question uh discussed in terms

1:49:31of the operations against the president

1:49:33in his first term now more sophisticated

1:49:36in his second term. There is somebody

1:49:38behind it. You have people at the

1:49:40highest levels Donald Trump and his team

1:49:44and the global oligarchical elite

1:49:47fighting out the battle of the century

1:49:50in terms of which system is going to

1:49:51prevail. Trump's serenity

1:49:54honestly is, you know, he knows he's

1:49:57fighting for the right fight. He doesn't

1:49:59know what the outcome is going to be. Uh

1:50:02what what was the phrase that that Mike

1:50:05Johnson used at the um Dallas

1:50:08convention? Um because about you do your

1:50:13duty and you all all you can do is do

1:50:16your duty and you know God it it's in

1:50:19God's hands but what you do is your

1:50:21duty.

1:50:22and and you know and I think that's

1:50:24that's where Trump's serenity comes

1:50:27from. He's fighting for the right. He's

1:50:30fighting for the good and there's things

1:50:32that are outside of his control. Uh but

1:50:36that's what you can do and that's where

1:50:37I think his serenity comes from. Plus

1:50:40the fact that he knows he is coming at

1:50:42this from above, you know, and not from

1:50:45below as too many people get sucked

1:50:47into. So this kind of comes back to how

1:50:50I started. This is a war. This is not a

1:50:53political campaign. And if people are

1:50:55approaching it from that standpoint, you

1:50:58will have the serenity you need to fight

1:51:00back against the psychological warfare,

1:51:02the economic warfare, and everything

1:51:04else that they're throwing at us. So I'm

1:51:07going to say goodbye everybody and turn

1:51:09it last 10 minutes over to Barbara and

1:51:11Adam.

1:51:12>> Thank you Susan for joining us today.

1:51:19Uh I'm sorry, Barbara. Any any thoughts

1:51:22on on this question here?

1:51:24>> I'll answer two two of them. One, uh is

1:51:28will President Trump's economic strategy

1:51:31be able to stave off a world war?

1:51:33>> Uh the answer to that is the only thing

1:51:37which can stave off a world war at this

1:51:39point. If you look at Europe, they're

1:51:41preparing for a war to the death with

1:51:43Russia. I mean, it's all over their

1:51:46press and everything else. They've gone

1:51:48crazy

1:51:49because, you know, it's that famous

1:51:51phrase, I'll pray.

1:51:53I don't care what comes after me. I'm

1:51:56going to hold on to power no matter

1:51:57what, and I'm willing to blow up the

1:51:59world if that's the necessity. Trump, on

1:52:03the other hand, is on top of this. He is

1:52:06talking to the powers in the world who

1:52:09are actually stronger than this British

1:52:12imperial European power. China, Russia

1:52:16in particular, he is in constant

1:52:19dialogue with India. He is in constant

1:52:22dialogue with all right. Eventually what

1:52:24I believe we're going to see is an

1:52:26arrangement between these stronger

1:52:29economic and productive powers to come

1:52:32after these guys and just eliminate the

1:52:34power from the world. That's what's

1:52:35going on in the world right now. His

1:52:38serenity is I believe a little bit

1:52:41something extra which is spiritual.

1:52:45He faced death and has faced death

1:52:48repeatedly

1:52:50and he he's fighting knowing and willing

1:52:54to give his life to save this country.

1:52:57Now, people say there was a previous

1:52:59question like we're putting Trump on a

1:53:02on a uh you know a a a platform and

1:53:06we're not criticizing him enough. Hey,

1:53:10you know, we don't have to basically add

1:53:12to everything that's out there. That

1:53:15would be crazy. OH, I AGREE WITH WHAT

1:53:17Steve Bannon says about this or what

1:53:20Alex Jones says about that. That's all

1:53:23BS from our standpoint. All right. as

1:53:27long as he is in the directionality he's

1:53:29going and he's going to make mistakes.

1:53:31That's what happens when you're doing

1:53:33something new. He's going to be too

1:53:35blaspherous at certain points. Yeah. I

1:53:38thought some of his answers in terms of

1:53:40the original AI stuff were a little bit

1:53:42ridiculous because he didn't address the

1:53:44fear necessarily directly like JD did.

1:53:48But, you know, for God's sake, look at

1:53:51what the man is actually doing. He is

1:53:54restructuring the entirety of the world

1:53:57economy in favor of you guys out there.

1:54:01And he's taken enemy fire. Uh there's a

1:54:05kind of military phrase which says first

1:54:08one through the door in terms of of

1:54:11these types of battles gets shot.
