Speaker 1 (00:02):
The Iranian president is dead. We'll talk about that tonight.
Economic matters. Julie Kelly is here with law fair stuff,
all that and more coming up. But I'm right, Okay,
So the president of Iran died and no one really

(00:25):
understands the region. They have a president, they have a
supreme leader. The supreme leader did not die, by the way,
but the president did die. Apparently a helicopter crashed and
the mountains they couldn't get to him. Maybe wolves aid him.
I don't know. That part of the story is really cool.
I doubt it's true, but it would be freaking sweet
if it was. Anyway, we need to make sense of
all this. What does it mean? Who done it? So
on and so forth? So I don't know. I bet

(00:46):
your Francis does, though. Let's talk to Francis Bart Martel
right now, Bright Bart News International Editor. Okay, Francis, who
was this guy? Why did he die? How did he die?
Was it the Israelis?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well, you know, the.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Interesting thing is the Iranians having to accused the Israelis,
which is the first thing I expected.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Them to do, and they did it. So.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Ibrahim Reisi was the president of Iran since twenty twenty one,
had a very long, storied career of butchery, of mass murdering,
political dissidence when he was a prosecutor approving executions, and
as president.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I think the single highlight of.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
His presidential career was the Masamini incident and the subsequent protests.
Masamini was a twenty two year old woman who was
beaten to death because her hit job was slightly wrong,
and there were protests.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
This was September twenty twenty two.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
There were protests for a good year and a half
after that. The UN says over five hundred people were
killed under him just because of Masamini, not counting other
executions and protests.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
So very brutal guy.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
And all we know about the airplane or the helicopter
really is that he was traveling from Azerbaijan back into Iran.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Whether it was foggy inclement, it's not.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Really clear why they let him fly and the helicopter crash,
and then yesterday we were told it was a quote
unquote hard landing, and then everyone then today we wake
up and everyone died because of the hard landing.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
So a lot of questions still still out there.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, I guess hard can mean different things to different people.
It must have been very, very hard. Okay, So what
does this do with Iran's political situation? As you just mentioned,
every time you turn on the news, there's some protests
over there, and then the scumbags who run that country
are killing everybody who's protesting in the streets. Are they
going to want to take to the streets and cheer?

(02:39):
Are they even allowed to cheer? Are there going to
be new elections? And how fair are those going to be?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
What happens now, Well, they're already handing out candies. There's
already videos.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Of fireworks and kron people handing out candies and sweets.
The Iranians are celebrating any basically, any Iranian with any
platform has said this is a good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
The real question here, though, is with these were they're
so deeply entrenched.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Getting rid of one guy is not going to really
change anything, and especially when you have the Supreme Leader,
Ayatole Homoni.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
He's still there.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
He's probably not going to be there for too long
because you know, he's eighty something, but he's still in charge,
and so rice he's probably going to be replaced by
another trusted official. It's going to be really hard to
find someone with a record this bad of killing dissidents,
someone this bloody to replace him, unless they go completely

(03:32):
unprecedented and pick someone in the military to do it.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
But I don't think that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think they're going to find a quiet bureaucrat to
take over until.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
It all boils over, and then they're going to review
their roster.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
And see, you know, who's the best to helm Iran
at this really difficult time for the regime.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, So why is it a difficult time in the regime,
Francis just because this guy died? Or are they having
real difficulty hanging power. It's been well known for the
longest time that the Iranian people are quite unhappy. Are
they Are they hanging on by a string over there?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think they are.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
But you know, the biggest saving grace is that there
is no organized led opposition. There's no opposition leader who's
charismatic and trying to take over the government. Obviously the
opposition is not armed. So we've seen a lot of instances.
You know, in China, there's been protests for years in China,
there's been protests for years.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
In Cuba.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Basically all these regimes have the same situation where the
majority of the public hates them, but they have no
way because of the repression. They have no way of
arming themselves or organizing. So the big issue here, I
think is more of an internal game of thrones thing
where we don't know exactly who within the remaining top
level of officials is going to want the presidency, whether

(04:53):
they're going to fight each other. And then there's all
this external pressure because of the post October seventh scenario.
You know, moss is very directly funded by Iran. Iran
is the leading voice for global terrorism and for genocide
against Israel, and that's that's a big crown to wear,
you know, a dark one, but a big one. And

(05:14):
so if you have your top officials kind of buying
for power and more invested in that than in the
unity of the global giatist movement, you're gonna have problems.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, You're gonna have freaking problems. Okay, let's switch gears
a little bit here, Francis, while I have you putin
and g met last week. I'm worried. How worried should
I be?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I think it's business as usual.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
But the biggest concern for me is, this was all business,
this was all economic. We know that China and Russia
are geopolitically very close, but what they're basically trying to
do is to create a parallel economic universe where the
US dollar doesn't matter, and they really are advancing on
that front, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I think Putin said over.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Ninety percent of business between China and Russia has done
in either yon or rubles, and so if the dollar
loses its power, obviously that's a.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Huge concern for US for our economy.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
But also geopolitically, what does that mean for the entire
concept of sanction?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
If you can impose sanctions.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
On these countries for how whatever reason you want to,
and they have no effect because they have this parallel
set of institutions, then you're gonna have a much harder
time driving your foreign policy agenda, as you know, a
country in the West.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Francis, I have a very hard time picturing Vladimir Putin
as the little brother in any relationship. But economically, there
is no comparison between a nation like China and a
nation like Russia. I realize China has many of their
own problems as well, but what is this relationship like.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, I think a big issue here is that China
is by far the bigger economy, but China has a
very big weakness, which is it has no oil and
it can refine, but it can't refine as much as
it needs. And obviously there's tremendous demand for oil in China,
and so China's trying to break through that by dominating
electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, all the green stuff. But

(07:15):
that's never going to be enough, or you know, at
least not in the near future, to undo the fact
that they have no oil.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
And not really much natural gas.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
And so that's where Russia can come in, and if
they don't, you know, in a way, Russia has this
dominant position economically of they have oil, they have gas,
and so they can provide the one big missing link,
but they can't provide much else. Right, the Russian economy
is pretty slow geopolitically, you know, Russia is its alliances

(07:44):
are with very weak countries. It's closest allies are you know,
Knee Air and Cuba and Burkina Fasoul like those are
not the best friends you can possibly have on the
world stage. And so they are trying to compliment each other,
but obviously the tremendous advantage that China has economically is
always going to pass a shadow over that relationship.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, I figured it would. Francis, you are the best.
Come back soon. Thank you so much. You all right,
we're gonna talk next about where we're at, what it's
like to watch what's happening right now. Maybe a little
bit stressful, but I think it's probably time we talk
about it. And look, if you get stressed, it's not
a problem because you're still going to sleep tonight. You

(08:28):
know why. I know you're still gonna sleep tonight because
you've already bought your dream powder from Beam, right. I
tell you about it all the time. Stuff is freaking amazing.
It's no drugs or anything like that. I have the
chocolate cinnamon one. I warm it up in a little
glass of milk and sip it before bed. It's like
cinnamon hot Chocolate's delicious. It's all natural. But you just

(08:52):
sleep like the dead. And here's the best part. It's
not to sleep. There's a million things you can take
to sleep. You don't wake up feeling like garbage, all
groggy and half dead. They did some clinical trial ninety
three percent of people said it helped them sleep ninety
three percent shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly, go get

(09:13):
some dream powder that gets you forty percent off. So
go now, we'll be back. Sometimes it's difficult watching what
we're watching right now, isn't it? I find it difficult,
do you. And I've talked to you about this before.

(09:33):
I've been very honest with you that, especially recently, probably
the last year or so, I've been taking it home
with me more than I normally do, letting it affect
my mood. Everything we're seeing happening to the country right now.
And here's how I feel, just being honest, here's how
I feel. I'm hyper informed. You are hyperinformed. We are

(09:54):
the people who seek out information. We want to know
who's in power, who wants power, what do they want,
why do they want it? What are the issues that matter?
How do we solve these issues? You're here watching, I'm right,
you could be watching anything right now you're watching. I'm right.
You're someone who seeks out information, so you are so
much more informed than the rest of the population, and

(10:16):
that sucks. Actually, I mean, I'm happy for you, good
for you, good for me. But it sucks that we're
constantly knowing what's happening, knowing what to do to solve it,
and we look around and there's no one behind us.
There's going with us. They're ten miles behind us. It's frustrating.
And here's how I feel. I feel like we're watching
it come apart on us. No, no, I'm not saying

(10:38):
America is going to end tomorrow. I'm not doing that
kind of doomsday stuff and really genuinely, genuinely not. But
you know, Empires rise and fall. We've talked about it
a bunch. Empires rise and Empires fall. Nothing lasts forever,
and it feels as if we're in some portion of
the fall phase, probably the beginning, who knows, maybe the middle.

(11:01):
Maybe we will all collapse tomorrow. But either way, we're
definitely not in the beginning. Are we certainly not in
our peak. We're we're watching it and and that suck.
I didn't even want to say it. We're watching it end.
It sucks. It hurts me, and you know what else
hurts me? And then this is probably selfish, but I'm

(11:26):
thinking about being blamed for all this, You me, all
of us who live in this time, you see. Have
you ever studied the Fall of Empires? Read a book
about it, listened to a documentary, watched a movie that
was based on, you know, the Fall, the coming apart
of Empires. You always look at the people and the
people who led the country at the time. And I

(11:46):
don't know about you, but I look at the people
and I want to shake them. I want to go
back in history and shake them awake and think, can't
you see what's happening? Wake up, do something? But you can't.
And as much as we yell and screen, it's difficult
to wake us up. Now. Look at look at the
things we've done to ourselves. Do you remember I want

(12:07):
you to remember something. Don't ever let this go. Don't
ever let this go. Do you remember social distancing? Do
you remember social distancing? Now? I know you know the term,
and I know you remember what it was, but I
want you to just pause for a moment here, and
I want you to remember all the things that resulted

(12:27):
from the idea, from the concept of social distancing that
we should just reorder all of society and everybody just
stands six feet apart. Social distancing was the reason you
had to close your business. The reason we lost one
third of the family businesses in this country. Bye bye,
gone forever. Social distancing. Social distancing was the justification for

(12:51):
closing your child's school. The reason Aideen, Jaden and Braiden
are now behind and things like reading and math is
because of the concept of social distancing. Social distancing was
the reason you had to stand on the little footprints
in the grocery store. You remember that, don't you. Social
distancing was the justification for virtually every COVID policy that

(13:17):
destroyed this country. Destroyed our mental health, destroyed our economy
in permanent ways we will never recover from, destroyed our youth,
destroyed so much of the country. Social distancing ANIAH director.
Former ANDIH director Francis Collins just testified that there was

(13:39):
no science supporting it. We re ordered all of American
society and destroyed ourselves in ways history will look back
on and they'll want to shake us awake. And we
did it over nothing. We have some of the authors
of that insane policy. Remember Scott Gottlieb. He went on

(14:02):
camera and flat out said, I mean, we just kind
of made it up.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
The initial recommendation that the CDC brought to the White House,
and I talk about this was ten feet and a
political appointing in a White House said we can't recommend
ten feet. Nobody can measure ten feet. Its inoperable. Society
will shut down. So the compromise was around six.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, and it's not just COVID. It's not just COVID.
COVID was a very revealing moment for me when I
watched all of America just kind of accept it. Okay,
I mean, we'll go home. Can I have a steamy check?
What about my Netflix that's still turned on? Right? I
remember that till the day I die. I remember the insanity,
you and me sitting there screaming and everybody wake up.

(14:47):
But I remember it. I remember the Saint George Floyd's stuff.
Believe me, history will look back on that as well.
Some piece of trash drug dealer from Minneapolis has a
heart attack, has an overdose on drugs. That's according to
their own medical examiner. He overdoses on drugs. A cop
is doing a technique on the man at the time
that was trained into him by the Minneapolis to Police Department.

(15:12):
The cop is currently in prison where he'll probably die.
He's already been stabbed there once and the rest of
the United States of America in response to this, got
gas lit into torching American cities. People died, businesses, money lost, race,
relations irreparably broken in the country, and there's been no

(15:35):
public backlash or reckoning for the people who did it.
To this day, the President of the United States of
America feels completely comfortable standing up in front of the
American people and bragging about it.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
I stood up for with George Lord's family, So create
a country. We don't need to have that talk whether
your son or grandson and Isaay get pulled over. Capture
the historic movement for justice. In the summer of twenty twenty,
I signed the most significant police reform executive order and history.

(16:12):
We didn't get the law passed, but guess what I
did it by executive order, significant partner.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
There's been no public backlash. So the man whose approval
ratings are in the toilet still feels comfortable bragging about it.
And look, when we look back on the end, we
won't you and me. The historians will write the books
on it, but it won't just be you know, a
bunch of Democrats they're blaming for it. It'll be the pathetic, ineptnus.

(16:46):
Oftentimes the complicity of the GOP. The GOP helped author
every destructive policy we have, from COVID lockdowns to well,
you know, you remember saying George Floyd and all the madness.
Then we have cops being assassinated. Now NYPD at its
lowest level since nineteen ninety, crime running rampant in the

(17:10):
big cities. All this began with the Saint George Floyd riots.
And at the beginning of the Saint George Floyd riots,
the GOP was right there cheering them.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
All community is color and people like myself. I've told
my story several times, stopped seven times in one year.
That has been said a lot. But I stopped this
year driving while black when I got a warning ticket
for using failing to use my turn signal earlier in
my lane change. And so this issue continues, and that's

(17:43):
why it's so important for us to say that we
hear you, We're listening to your concerns. The George Floyd
incident certainly accelerated this conversation, and we find ourselves at
a place with a package that I think speaks to
the families that I I spoke with yesterday who lost
loved ones. We hear you. I think this package speaks

(18:06):
very clearly to the young person who's concerned when he
stopped by the law enforcement officers.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
We see you man, How pathetic are we? Oh? That
may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right. We're
gonna talk about some economic matters with Peter Saint one next.
Before we get to Peter, I want to talk to
you about the timeshare. You think you're stuck in. You're not.

(18:36):
You believe you are, but you're not. Timeshare companies lie.
They get you in, they don't tell you that you're
gonna be stuck in it for life, and you know,
and they let you sign all the contract paperwork, and
then some years later, after you've enjoyed yourself you're done
with it. You think you're going to give it back.
You tell them you want to give it back, and
they say, uh ah, sorry, you're in here forever. Lone

(18:57):
Star Transfer doesn't buy that. They're not playing that game.
This family business has been getting people out legally and
permanently out of their time shares. I mean, my goodness,
over twenty thousand of them. Now they're successful. Ninety nine
percent of the time. They put it in writing, they'll
tell you we'll get you out. They give you a
timeframe in writing. Stop calling the time share company. Stop

(19:21):
emailing the timeshare company. Put that away. Make a different
phone call, call loan Star transfer, let them set you free.
Eight four four three one zero two six four six.
We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Our economy and people's paychecks are growing, and our nation
is headed in the right direction thanks to his work.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Well, that's pretty much the worst person on the face
of the planet. That is Gretchen Whitmer, known as Governor
Ratchet on this show. I'm still just sometimes it just
irks me that that woman got re elected handily in
the state of Michigan. What are you doing Michigan anyway?
Joining me now, Peter Saint Aure with the wonderful Heritage

(20:14):
Foundation economist Peter, So, how great is this booming economy
doing after we lock down the country and social distancing
and printed trellions of dollars and so how are we
doing now, Peter, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
Not doing as well as you might expect. You know,
the government statistics look fantastic. The finance statisticians money can
buy or tax money anyway, and you know, we've got
the headline numbers, the ones that she's bragging about there,
Governor Ratchet. Those look fantastic, right, You've got falling inflation,

(20:49):
you've got historic lows on unemployment, you got slowing but
you know.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Still their GDP growth.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
Of course, the thing is, once you dig into those numbers,
every single one of those things is fake. You've got
GDP is driven by two trillion dollars in deficits, right,
A lot of this is to buy white elephants. Remember
Cilindra back during Obama when taxpayers got fleeced. I think
it was two hundred million back then. Of course, the
number is a lot bigger now. So the so called

(21:17):
Inflation Reduction Act, which was built back better right, they
literally just renamed it. You can see it in the
Congressional log all right, So that was just a huge
handout to green lobbyists. That's gonna be about a trillion dollars.
Guarantee you there are gonna be tens of billions, if
not hundreds of billions that are gonna go bust.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
All that on the tax payadime.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
So that GDP number, that's not measuring us getting rich.
That's measuring the fleecing the rating of the treasuring and
handing it out to these rich lobbyists. You take the
jobs numbers, the unemployment numbers. There, we've got over what
about six to seven and a half million Americans who
dropped out of the workforce around COVID. Either they were

(21:59):
just correct, so they went on government benefits. Government benefits
went up eight hundred billion dollars a year during COVID,
and they stayed up. Right, the pandemic is over by
all accounts, even Ratchet would agree, the pandemic is over.
But we are stuck with that in our billion forever.
So you drive around the city's an American. You see
all these people bent over with the fentanyl or you know,

(22:21):
living their mom's basement, playing Assassin street, and you say,
how can we have a three point nine percent unemployment?
I see a lot of people who don't have jobs.
That's right, they're not in the labor force, they're not counted.
If you are discouraged, if you've given up on life,
if you're out on the street, you're not unemployed. You
may as well be retired for a government statistician.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
And then finally got the inflation.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
So inflation was coming down because the supply chain wound
out because the FED stopped printing money handover fist, And
it did come down for a little while, but last
October it touched one percent annualized on inflation, all right,
and since then, every single month it's been marching up
two three, four five. So this point where at six

(23:03):
point two percent annualized. As for business inflation PPI, we're
at about four percent on consumer and rising, So inflation.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Is coming back.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
They got the freebie partly from the lockdown's ending, partly
from the supply chains easing, partly from the world economy
slowing that makes oil prices come down. So I got
all these transitory freebies, if you will. And now, as
Warren Buffett says, now the tide goes out, we see
who's swimming without a suit. Now we're seeing the real
durable inflation. This is looking permanent.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, Peter, that was all pretty much horrific because that
was exactly what I thought was happening. Now, I'm gonna
put this in the most layman terms possible because I'm
an idiot, and you just tell me if I'm wrong.
What it seems to me is the people who are
in charge all the elites now, whoever they may be,
however you want to classify that, their blood sucking the

(23:59):
last to the money out of the treasury. They're doing
everything they possibly can to lie to the American public
about what they're doing so they can sail off into
the sunset with the last of our gold when we
go down in flames. Do I have that about right? Yeah,
that's absolutely right.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
And you know, traditionally in America we've had a relationship
with our government where it's a parasite, but we can
still get by, right. They still make sure the dishes
are washed and they pay the electric bill and whatnot. Right,
terrible roommate, but anyway we can survive. What's happened since
COVID is that government has turned into a predator now, right,
they're putting out these lobbyist funded regulations, you know, trying

(24:38):
to wipe out and tire domestic industries.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Just hand over to China.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
Who cares because once somebody goes on welfare. They are
a reliable left wing voter. They're obedient, they do what
they're told.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
Right.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
They want us to be frankly slaves. They do not
want us to have businesses to be entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are
the worst thing for big government, right. Entrepreneurs care about
the future of the country. They have the means to
do something about it. They're independent minded. They want to
convert all that into at best, you know, just employees

(25:12):
of a big company. But really what they're pushing is
that everybody just goes on government benefits. And of course
these guys, they're socialists. They have no idea how the
economy works. They don't understand that government doesn't actually have
any money. It produces nothing. Everything government has was stolen.
It was either stolen in taxes, it was stolen inflation.
They don't understand what the endgame here, and of course

(25:34):
the endgame is poverty across the entire country.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Peter, you have a video out talking about the housing
market and how bad it really is. You touched on
it a little bit. How bad is it? Obviously I'm
not I'm preaching to the choir for everyone out there
searching for one right now, but tell us how bad
it is.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Yeah, it's rough. You know, during COVID we had a
perfect storm. So home price is sore. That was because
the Fed prints in so much money. Mortgage rates went
up they went from what three percent to seven to
eight percent.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's because the Fed tried to fix.

Speaker 7 (26:07):
All the money had printed, and then the inflation bleeds
through to everything. Right, So your property taxes go up
in lockstep with your home price. If you're planning to
live in your house, all right, if you're not actually
looking to move, if you like where you live, it's
a problem when your home price goes up, because that
means your taxes go up. Now, even if you sell
your house, you got to you know, you bought the

(26:27):
house for four on a one.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Thousand, and now it's a million.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
Okay, but you got to live somewhere, and somewhere also
went up in price. Right then you got you got
insurance exploding, You got all these costs going up. And
what you're seeing that now is that young people are
giving up. Right, Millennials, forget gen Z. They're not building
a future. They're not even bothering their doom spending. They're
going on three day you know, Caribbean vacations. They have

(26:50):
a dime to their name. Right, previous generations they'd be
building up for down payment.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
On the house so they could have a family.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
These guys now are just living for the day, because
the problem is they look at the way they grew up.
Right there, two parents living in a house that their
parents actually owned, with like three bedrooms. This is just
science fiction to them. This is like, you know, some
movie of some bygone era. They cannot imagine how they
could possibly get to that point. So for the median
house in America right now, you need to make six

(27:21):
figures to get qualified for a loan.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
That's for the median house. That's not for a glamorous house.
That's median. If you're a millennial and.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
You're cobbling together shifts down at panera six figures, that
ain't gonna happen for a while. By the time that happens,
you are not going to be building a family. You're
going to be in your thirties. Have mercy, all right, Peter,
before I have to, before I let you go. What
does keep me up at night for the little I
really truly understand of it is the world walking away

(27:52):
from the dollar. While they understand this is not something
that's about to happen.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Tomorrow, I'm not naive. It does seem like with what
we're doing by destroying the value of it, it seems
like we're accelerating that end, aren't we. Yeah, that's one
of the big debates right now.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
Bilagi's Fornivoussan, who's a great voice on Twitter. He just
came out with something today talking about that. You know, traditionally,
the US government had a very strong goal to protect
the value of the dollar, that was the so called
petro dollar. And what is starting to look like is
that the government is almost trying to sabotage the dollar.
Now there's logic to that, right, if they sabotage the dollar,

(28:30):
then it makes it cheaper to make stuff in America.
So because the government has made it so expensive to
make anything here between regulations and taxes and mandates and
the rest, they can try to reverse some of that damage,
like gutting the dollar making the dollar really cheap. So
you know, of course that bankrupts US. That's throwing away
our national wealth. But that's one way to hide the

(28:51):
damage that they've done so far. So you know, JP
Morgan just came out with a report warning about that
that the dollar share of a national reserve nerves that's
what central banks hold in other countries, that's collapsing. It's
now fifty eight percent it used to be in the
seventies or the eighties. If you include gold in that,
we're actually below half at this point. Now where is

(29:12):
all that money going A lot of it is actually
going into gold. So gold has absolutely exploded on central
bank balance sheets. If gold were a currency, which it
should be, it would be the number two in.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
The world right now, just behind the dollar.

Speaker 7 (29:25):
So we have these big shifts moving and if you
look at what the Biden administration is doing about it,
if anything, they're accelerating it. They just went to seize
Russia's central bank dollars. Good fun, they're in a war, whatnot.
The problem is that put every country on Earth on
notice that the dollar is a politically risky thing to own.
So all these countries, Indonesia, Brazil, countries that don't have

(29:48):
a beef with us, they're getting off the dollar now
because you never know when some activists is going to
get pissed off of your LGBT policies and you're going
to have trouble with the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
He's already done that in Africa.

Speaker 7 (29:59):
He's threatened sanctions against you Uganda for their laws to
do with LGBT. You Ganda is a conservative place anyway.
If you look at what the administration is actually doing,
for the first time I think in my lifetime, they
are not trying to protect a dollar. It almost looks
like they are trying to gut it on purpose.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Jeez, Peter, I hate when you join us. Please come
back soon though, Because you do, it's so much smarter.
Thank you, my brother. I appreciate it. All Right. We
got Julie Kelly coming next. She's gonna update us on
some lawfare things. Before Peter roll. Before Julie, let's talk
about something wonderful. We need something good right now. I

(30:39):
need good in my life right now. Let's talk about
Blackout Coffee. It's the best. It's the best. I don't know.
I don't know what I like best about Blackout Coffee,
the flavor, the fact that they deliver it to my
front door, or their values. Blackout Coffee shares and promotes
our value. Member culture is something that's created by all

(31:03):
of us, including the corporations. It is a big deal
of the corporations in this country hate the country. Blackout
Coffee does not. They will deliver the best coffee you've
ever had in your life to your front door. A
million different options, whether you like just straight black coffee
like me, or some cinnamon fru fru stuff, whatever you
happen to like. And the prices are amazing. Your first
order is twenty percent off. Blackoutcoffee dot com slash Jesse

(31:28):
gets you twenty percent off your first order. It's ridiculous.
Go get some. You'll enjoy it. We'll be bad.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Because in the direction is who stormed Capitol Hill patriots?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Let me ask you, what do you think he would
have done?

Speaker 5 (31:52):
The Jenu endiction black Americans at storm your capitol? How
could it be that any American president cannot denounce violence?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
I know I can, I will, and I have.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Political has no place in America period.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yes, all that unity, all that division, got to stop
demonizing each other. He loves to say that. Joining me now,
my friend Julie Kelly, you need to subscribe to her
substack called Declassified Julie. He does bring up a good point.
As much as I disliked Joe Biden, imagine, imagine what
would happen if some leftists attacked the capital. How severely

(32:32):
they'd be treated. They'd be horrific, wouldn't it, Julie?

Speaker 10 (32:37):
Yes, exactly. Well you know, Jesse, just this over the weekend,
I posted yet another double standard out of this Department
of Justice where Matthew Graves, the DCUs attorney, gave a
pro Hamas protester forty eight hours of community service for
attacking two Capitol police officers, including a female, punching her
in the face. This individual, because he's a Democratic Party

(33:00):
activist and supported by Democrats, gets forty eight hours of
community service, not forty eight months in jail like JA
sixers who are accused of attacking police officers. So the
double standard just never ends. And you know, this is
something that if Donald Trump wins, he's going to have

(33:20):
to clean up. For our conversation last time.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Tell us how the January sixth political prisoners are being treated, Julie,
can you give us an update on that. Surely, after
all the publicity about the horrific conditions they're being kept
in and how poorly Matthew Graves has been treating these people,
surely the government is backed off, right.

Speaker 10 (33:42):
Yes, of course they have. They're working hand in glove
with defense attorneys and House Republicans to uncover examples of
police and really jail guard abuse of Jay sixers. So
today it was announced I announced on Twitter x at
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Representative Troy Nell's are

(34:07):
being stemied in their investigation of accusations of abuse by
jail guards in DC against Ronald mccabee, who was a
deputy sheriff in Tennessee. He was incarcerated pre trialed attention
in the d C Gulag for two years before he
went to trial Jesse. He didn't get forty eight hours
of community service. So House Republicans opening investigation. They want

(34:31):
the body worn camera footage of this DC Gulog jail
guard Crystal Lancaster. They have been steymied in their efforts
by the d C Department of Corrections, by d C
Mayor Muriel Bowser, and even the US Marshall Service who
refused to turn over that body worn camera that shows
this guard Pepper spring Ronald mccabee in the face repeatedly,

(34:55):
then apparently throwing him in what they call the whole
solitary so he continued to burn and his crime his offense.
Why she did this apparently is because he took down
his face mask to take medication that he needed in
On September twenty twenty two, if you can believe it
or not, they were still required to wear face masks.
So looking into more examples of jail abuse by jail

(35:19):
guards against j sixers in Washington, well, I'm.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Sure Merrek Garland is all over the abuse that's taking
place underneath him and the DOJ. Here is Merrek Garland
given a little presser on how he's being held in contempt?

Speaker 9 (35:34):
Justice Department is a fundamental institution of our democracy. People
depend on us to ensure that our investigations and our
prosecutions are conducted according to the facts and the law
and without political influence. We have gone to extraordinary lengths
to ensure that the committees get responses to their legimate requests.

(36:01):
But this is not one to the contrary, This is
one that would harm our ability in the future to
successfully pursue sensitive investigations. Now, there have been a series
of unprecedented and frankly unfounded attacks on the Justice Department.

(36:22):
This request, this effort to use contempts as a method
of obtaining our sensitive law enforcement files, is just the
most recent.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Julie Merrick Garland, does he have the authority to determine
what is a legitimate request and what is not.

Speaker 10 (36:41):
Well, apparently he does. And you know, let's not forget Jesse.
The real victim in all this is Merrick Garland, right,
he is the victim here. And then I love the
reporter comes in and says, how do you deal with
all of these attacks against the Justice Department? And you
know he just shed a little tear and talked to
about the great men and women of the DOJ and

(37:02):
what a hero he is. Now, what he's talking about
there is House Republicans have subpoena the recorded interview, the
audio version of the interview between Joe Biden and Special
Counsel Robert Hurr from last October. We have the transcripts,
allegedly what's supposed to be the transcript, but of course
House Republicans want the audio version. And this is what

(37:25):
Merrick Garland advised Joe Biden to invoke executive privilege, not
to divide that subpoena. And that's what Merrick Garland is
talking about there. How turning over a recorded interview of
the president who's under investigation, how that thwarts this enshrined
institution of our democracy. Jesse, the Department of Justice, we

(37:49):
can't really get a good explanation. But it doesn't matter
because DOJ is used to doing whatever they want, instituting
and executing these double standards of justice, one set for Republicans,
one for Democrats, including Joe Biden. And now I think
there's going to be a big court fight to get
that recorded interview, since they already have released the written transcript, Julie.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Today was supposed to be the start of the Trump
classified documents trial. Obviously that didn't happen, severely delayed, pretty
much blown up? Is it blown up? Is that thing
ever going to happen?

Speaker 10 (38:26):
Yes, that case has imploded in many different directions, Jesse.
And what Judge Aileen Cannon is starting and I will
be at the courthouse this Wednesday is a series of
mini trials of the Department of Justice and Special Council
jack Smith. So on Wednesday there will be a hearing
about Trump's co defendant while Team Na, his longtime personal

(38:48):
aid who also was charged in this case, his motion
to dismiss based on selective and vindictive prosecution. Then next
month there will be a series of hearings in her
courtroom asking about the legitimacy of Special Counsel Jacksmith's appointment
to begin with, and then three days of hearings that
will further expose the collusion between the Biden White House,

(39:12):
the National Archives, the DOJ, FBI, and other agencies to
concoct some sort of documents case against Donald Trump. Judge
Aileen Cannon truly doing the heavy lifting, almost single handedly
and really exposing the corruption, the sloppiness of this case,
the dirtiness and the prosecutorial abuse of Jack Smith and

(39:34):
his prosecutors. So the tables have turned. That's why you
see this Jesse has kind of disappeared from the headlines,
you know, unless you're seeing some sort of call for
Aleen Cannon's head and to recuse because of what she's doing.
The media is kind of ignoring this case all of
a sudden, which you know is supposed to be treason
on the part of Donald Trump hoarding nuclear secret material

(39:57):
and maybe sharing it with our enemy, all of a sudden,
because Judge alien Cannon is exposing what's happened in this
investigation in case it's really lost in the corporate media
seems to have really lost interest in this.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, they sure did, you know? Speaking of Jack Smith,
A lot of people ask me why I don't call
myself a Republican. I call myself an anti communist. I
want to thank Mike Johnson for this video because this
is why here he was.

Speaker 11 (40:26):
With regard to defunding Jack Smith. Look, I think that
there's been a terrible dereliction of duty with regard to
the Special Counsel and how how the whole system has
been abused, how they've engaged in lawfair against President Trump.
I mean, all of these things are to me self
evident truths. But that's not something you wave a wand
and just eliminate the Special Council as a provision. It's

(40:50):
been part of the law, you know, the tradition and
the lawyer system for twenty five years.

Speaker 10 (40:53):
So are you prepared then to stick this into appropriations
bills to defund the Special Council?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
No, Julie, if I had to define the Republican Party,
it would, honestly, I just play that audio right there.
Here's a list of all the terrible things they're doing,
and here's a list of all the reasons why I
won't do anything to stop it. That's the GOP model.

Speaker 10 (41:15):
It's just stunning. And to first of all, Mike Johnson
has no idea what's going on in this case. If
he did, he would have no basis of saying that
there's no grounds to defund Jack Smith. As I wrote
in my subject last week, not only should he be defunded,
he should face a congressional investigation, which they're starting to
pick up some pieces of it. Of course Jack Smith's

(41:37):
confession a few weeks ago that they have mishandled and
possibly misplaced key evidence in this investigation of prosecution. So
why is Mike Johnson sitting there so sanctimoniously talking about dirty,
corrupt Jack Smith and his prosecutors, But once again Jesse
washing his hands of any responsibility or oversight or account

(41:59):
of ability of this rogue Special Council, and not only
in this investigation, but of course the J six one
in Washington as well. That's why again have to commend
Judge Cannon for single handedly doing at least most of
the work that House Republicans should be doing, including Mike
Johnson doing that really on her own and taking all

(42:22):
the slings and arrows by the corporate media and Democrats
while she is really the one doing all the heavy
lifting and determined to bring transparency to this case. So
the American people can see exactly what has happened in
this investigation for more than two years.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Lord Willing, truly you are the best. Come back soon.
All right, we have light in the mood.

Speaker 8 (42:49):
Thanks, It's time to.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Let in the mood. And one of the things that
I it brightens my mood, at least briefly anymore, is
the absurdity of everything now, especially the people in charge. Remember,
you should be mocking the powerful right now. When you
have a country led by the dumbest, most corrupt, most selfish,

(43:20):
deprave people on the planet, you should mock them every
chance you get. Their idiocy, just every part of it.
Remember doing COVID, everyone was worried about COVID, and the
White House was pushing all this COVID panic, and Joe
Biden got up sick as a dog and gave a speech, you.

Speaker 12 (43:38):
Can't be pro insurrection and pro cop You can't be
pro insurrection and pro democracy. You can't be pro insurrection
and pro American. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act.
The brave women and men and blue all across this
nation should never forget that.

Speaker 8 (43:58):
Sounded so bad.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
