00:09:24.080Oh, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am meek and gentle with these butchers.
00:09:54.060Thou art the ruins of the noblest man that ever lived in the tide of time.
00:10:01.600Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood.
00:10:08.920Over thy wounds now do I prophesy, which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips to beg the voice and utterance of my tongue.
00:10:19.440A curse shall light upon the limbs of men.
00:10:24.920Domestic fury and fierce civil strife shall cumber all the parts of Italy.
00:10:29.620Blood and destruction shall be so in use and dreadful objects so familiar that mothers shall but smile when they behold their infants quartered with the hands of war.
00:10:37.280All pitied shout with custom of fell deed and Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge with Ate by his side come hot from hell, shall in these confines with a monarch's voice cry,
00:10:51.160and let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth, with carrion men groaning for burial.
00:11:06.160Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
00:11:15.940I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
00:11:20.160The evil that men do lives after them.
00:11:24.540The good is often turd with their bones.
00:11:26.980The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
00:11:34.180If it were so, it was a grievous fault.
00:11:37.460And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
00:11:40.800Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, for Brutus is an honourable man, so are they all, all honourable men,
00:15:38.460Kagan, who's one of the most powerful public intellectuals out there,
00:15:43.720makes the case that were Brutus and what Brutus and the Assassins did was justifiable to try to save Rome.
00:15:51.940He makes the same case, really makes the moral case, why you could have an assassination of President Donald J. Trump.
00:15:59.800Can you tell us who Victoria Nuland's wingman is and why he is so dangerous, sir?
00:16:06.380Well, again, it's interesting to look at all of these families.
00:16:13.440The bipartisanship is not only in—it's really not bipartisanship so much as it is transpartisanship.
00:16:20.800These permanent bureaucrats exist on a plane that transcends the partisan divisions that animate so much of retail politics.
00:16:31.200I think that's one of the central insights of the term deep state, which originated, I think, in Turkey, to refer to a similar situation there.
00:16:41.720I think Pakistan is a great example through their intelligence agencies of a deep state.
00:16:47.300And in our case, if there's anything of a deep state, then certainly Nuland and her husband are great representatives,
00:16:55.040not just because of how entrenched they are, not just because Nuland herself served both Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush,
00:17:03.720and her husband is one of the preeminent architects of the Iraq War.
00:17:09.640And so in one sense, they're all over the place, but in another sense, it makes—you know, it's reasonable that they're together
00:17:17.620because they're representing the same underlying interests.
00:17:21.060And I think we only really began to understand viscerally and directly just how coherent those interests were when Trump came up and challenged them.
00:17:34.340Because when there's no radical challenge, you can get caught up in the superficial differences that present themselves at the retail level,
00:17:42.740the superficial differences between, say, a George W. Bush and a Hillary Clinton.
00:17:48.420But when somebody like Trump comes along, it really helps to clarify just how similar Hillary and George W. Bush are,
00:17:59.300and, of course, how similar Nuland and her husband are.
00:18:02.640They represent two different faces of the deep state and two different regime change methodologies,
00:18:08.480the color revolution, which is now the preferred model in the aftermath of the failure of the Iraq War.
00:18:15.160There's simply not enough political capital to have another Iraq War.
00:18:20.540And so the regime has relied even more heavily on the softer color revolution version that is really heavy on propaganda,
00:18:30.000really heavy on mass mobilization, really heavy on leveraging our NGO cutouts that are, you know, carefully and strategically placed across the globe
00:18:41.040to basically marshal this type of response when we need it.
00:18:45.740So it's two sides of the same coin, effectively.
00:18:48.920As for Kagan, his own family is quite interesting.
00:18:52.480Again, it's, you know, this is a method of analysis that's largely foreign to public and accepted discourse about politics,
00:18:59.820because, of course, the sophisticated people talk about ideas and ideologies and orientations.
00:19:06.160And those are important, but there's almost a sense in which the underlying, the substrate,
00:19:13.700the substrate of who belongs to what family, what the actual networks are, what the sociology is,
00:19:20.700is just as important, if not more so, than the kind of window dressing often of an ideological perspective.
00:19:28.180In the case of Kagan, he's from a neoconservative family, quite a celebrated family, actually.
00:19:34.220His father was a great professor of classics at Yale, Donald Kagan,
00:19:40.500who was one of the authorities on the Peloponnesian War, actually.
00:19:45.720And so you see this trend among neocons as their parents were actually, in many ways, venerable figures,
00:30:00.120Make sure you take action on this today.
00:30:03.000This IRS grind is only going to get much worse.
00:30:05.820For war room veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:30:20.640China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:30:25.640I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:30:28.140The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:30:36.660But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:30:41.540Now here's the action you can take to correct.

00:32:24.480The hedge against times of turbulence has always been precious metals, gold and silver, for, I don't know, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000 years of recorded history.
00:32:32.540Ask Philip Patrick and the team about that.
00:32:34.580That's the question you've got to ask them.
00:32:35.660Why is it a hedge, and why are the converging forces that every couple of days gold reaches an all-time high?
00:32:41.460Darren Beattie, we are populist, nationalist, traditionalist.
00:32:45.200The third part of that, the traditionalist, you're pretty shocking when you talk about—I want people to focus on this article, the collapse of the traditional family before our eyes.
00:32:55.280The other day, Gallup reported that 30 percent, I think it's millennials or Gen Z, I think it's millennials, 30 percent of millennials, females, report that they're gay.
00:33:10.280Well, the report on the LGBT, or gay for short, that, I believe, applied to Gen Z.
00:33:20.080This piece is about family formation and shows there's record lows in terms of the older millennials, females, basically early 40s, late 30s, in terms of having families.
00:33:33.400And, you know, it's one of those things, people have families or they don't.
00:33:42.060There is probably a lot of propaganda that would deter people from doing that, which is unfortunate.
00:33:47.360But I think one kind of underexplored notion of it is all of this kind of propaganda attack on family formation is part of this acculturation preparing psychologically the population for decline in standard of living and giving people narratives to help people cope and accept that.
00:34:12.660And so, you know, on one hand, you say, oh, people are not having families due to, you know, environmentalist ideology.
00:34:20.580And that could be correct, maybe on a more surface level.
00:34:24.320But the environmentalist excuse for not having family is sort of a more psychologically palatable excuse than, oh, you simply can't afford it.
00:34:33.820You can't reach that milestone that you want.
00:34:36.040So you find, oh, it's not because I can't afford it.
00:34:39.980It's not because, you know, it's the economy has been particularly difficult for this kind of older millennial generation.
00:34:48.220But, no, it's because of environmentalism.
00:34:51.020So what would otherwise be kind of a sad failure becomes a virtuous display of ideology.
00:34:58.940And I think we see this in other domains as well, not just in the family formation thing.
00:35:05.380I think all around you, you see ideologies and narratives set up to help younger people cope with the fact that the standard of living is so much worse than it was and it's not getting any better.
00:35:18.980And if you want to see an example of where all of this is going, you need only to look to Europe, because Europe is really at an end stage of this process.
00:35:29.940So people are completely resigned to having a bad standard of living, and it reflects in their attitude toward, you know, wealth, you know, kind of the poverty, you know, grungy lifestyle is celebrated.
00:35:44.680It's normal not to, you know, have a house until you're very old, and I understand, like, the home buying situation is different there.
00:35:51.400But the European attitude is very much now completely equilibrated to the realities of this disastrous economy.
00:36:01.280And I think there are a lot of mechanisms at work kind of slowly, psychologically preparing the next generations in America for accepting, even embracing this new reality of having a low standard of living, where, to quote the WF, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:36:21.400That being happy, that's where the propaganda work comes in.
00:36:27.360Doesn't this set it up, I know you've got to bounce, but doesn't this set it up that this should be the best time ever for MAGA, America First, the economic policies to get away from this debt enslavement?
00:36:37.820Now should be our time to run the tables on this generation and bring them on board our political movement?
00:36:46.340You know, you just need, you need a message that works.
00:36:50.180And more so on this, you know, you need a policy that works.
00:36:52.900And some of the policies are deeply entrenched.
00:36:55.720A lot of these economic problems are, unfortunately, very deeply entrenched.
00:36:59.860But there's even stuff more kind of at the surface that you can do that would vastly improve things.
00:37:05.720There's no, you know, secret that the economy was far better under Trump than it was under Biden.
00:37:11.880And the reasons for that are, you know, quite simple and don't even, in many cases, require going to a kind of even a specifically populist approach.
00:37:21.760Trump's economic approach in many respects was sort of, you know, conventional free market stuff.
00:37:29.400And, you know, there are a lot of problems with that, but it's better than the stuff that Biden and the Democrats want to do.
00:37:35.880So there are some easy fixes that can be done.
00:37:41.660But unfortunately, I think, as you know, there's there are also deeper structural issues that I think will be far more difficult to correct and would require sustained, competent, really excellent leadership over the course of several decades.
00:37:57.680Darren, where do people go, you're one of the leading intellects in back of the Trump and the MAGA movement, where do people go to get to this amazing site we call Revolver?
00:38:10.580Revolver.news, get the latest on the economy, get the latest on geopolitics and society.
00:38:16.260And, you know, every now and then we like people to have a laugh.
00:38:18.600We're not Babylon Bee, but we did publish a piece in that vein.
00:39:05.740You know, one of the things we like about our sponsors, they make the information available to the audience, but they also make their people available.
00:39:13.080Birchgold.com slash Ben and talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:39:16.680Have them walk you through the converging forces that are leading gold to every couple of days at an all-time high.
00:39:23.860I think we do a pretty good job on macro, like we did in the first hour, but they're the experts, particularly when you start making personal financial decisions.
00:39:31.320That's Birchgold.com slash Ben and you get Philip Patrick on the team.
00:39:34.620You've got tons of free information there at the end of the dollar empire, all of it, but go check it out.
00:39:38.500Dave Walsh, I had to get you on because following this story about late family formations or maybe no family formations, this amazing piece in the New York Times, it's almost like it's schizophrenic.
00:39:50.460But I just want you to explain to the audience again, because it is a cult and it's a dangerous cult, this cult of climate change, this cult of limited, we have limited energy.
00:40:02.900Because that's leading – that's the economics underneath it that this generation – the generations under 30, under 40 aren't going to have the economic opportunities because it's a self-imposed – we're the most advanced industrial nation in the history of the earth.
00:40:18.300We're actually the most advanced, even post-industrial nation in the history of the earth.
00:40:24.620All of that's predicated upon a reasonable, smart, and aggressive energy policy.
00:40:29.860We have the exact opposite, and you see that nothing can get turned around until that's changed.
00:40:35.880And you can't change that until you change the mindset of the leaders of the elites in our nation that are into – they've left Christianity, they've left normal, you know, the great religions.
00:40:47.100And they're part of a medieval theology cult that is the cult of climate change, sir.
00:40:53.840Yeah, you can't have a developed industrial economy without massive quantities of baseload, continuous duty, electricity.
00:41:05.420The chart, by the way, they published between 07 and 22.
00:41:08.900You do have two major recessions that occurred in 08 and the one during the COVID period outbreak.
00:41:14.060And also, you've had a 15-year period of deindustrialization moving ahead, largely because of high energy costs, electricity specifically, and the lack of it.
00:41:27.440What these guys did, though, they bumped into some folks who were on the point of this beer actually worried about lack of electricity and lack of electrification from too much renewables.
00:41:47.520One is CAISO, California, the California region.
00:41:50.640The other is PJM, Maryland, Virginia, eastern Ohio, into major coordinating regions.
00:41:56.960Well, the folks who run those coordinating councils are sounding the alarm bells over too little electricity left in the system.
00:42:04.900Now, fortunately, they've come up with a better way of explaining it, and that is too much demand.
00:42:09.880Looking at specifically server centers and data centers, for example, as a key demand driver, along with Bitcoin facilities.
00:42:16.260But if you stay focused on server centers and data centers, we built in Mitsubishi for Dominion Energy a 1,500-megawatt advanced, state-of-the-art, super-clean, super-high-efficient combined cycle plant in Warren County, Virginia, two more in southern Virginia.
00:42:30.680But that plant mainly was all about serving the massive data center load back in 2007, 8, 9, emerging in Reston, Dulles, out through Warren County, which is a big deal.
00:42:44.560Data centers, the trunk lines from Europe come into northern Virginia with data, a huge data center region, a huge electrical demand required.
00:42:53.140A plant that big supports a million seven people, about half the capacity went to data centers.
00:43:00.200Dominion Energy's resource plan, integrated resource plan for the next 20 years, openly calls for, because of the continued shutdown of coal plants by them,
00:43:08.860and not building any new plants like the Warren County or like the Brunswick plant or like the Greensville plant we built for them, huge ones, building no more of that capacity.
00:43:19.080They're even calling for, in their integrated resource plan, a 25,000-megawatt supply gap that they'll have, unidentified, because they know they're not a lot of talk about new coal.
00:43:31.380They're not a lot of talk about new combined cycle generation.
00:43:34.920They're only a lot of talk about wind and solar.
00:43:36.940They understand the deficiency that that brings in part-time energy.
00:43:40.440Again, five hours a day solar, about seven wind.
00:43:42.900And therefore, they're projecting a dominion directly in their integrated resource plan, a huge shortage.
00:43:49.700Now, the spin in this article was looking at this from the demand side, which is the other side of the equation of the shortage.
00:43:59.640You want server centers in this country.
00:44:01.360You want data centers in this country.
00:44:02.880If you force them offshore because of the lack of electrification, because of part-time renewables that are really tinker toys with respect to the amount of electrification needed, not to mention EV batteries, you'll have a more rapid out-migration of key industry in the country.
00:44:22.360I want to go to – this is what makes no sense.
00:44:28.400You've got the cult that wants to destroy fossil fuels and the development of fossil fuels or any nuclear or any real energy source, yet they're also the biggest pushers of this post-industrial economy, which is based upon artificial intelligence.
00:44:47.340I'm putting out my fifth part of the installment at Birch Gold is on a central bank digital currency.
00:44:53.080So here's what makes it schizophrenic.
00:44:56.720On one hand, they are actively going through programs that guarantees you will not have the baseload continuous operations you need to run this type of advanced industrial economy and post-industrial economy.
00:45:10.240Because the post-industrial, note to self, actually takes more electrical power, and they're pushing AI.
00:45:31.860Am I wrong in that assessment that they are somehow weirdly destroying the same thing they're trying to push because you're not going to have the power to do it?
00:45:41.400And the only thing you left out of that list was the 10 more million people that have shown up, which would necessitate, if they're going to have the lifestyle we've had before they came, another 10,000 megawatt power plants to support electrification for 10 million people.
00:45:54.920But no, if we stay focused on server centers and data centers that AI is all about, and even what we're doing here right now is driven through a data center somewhere, the electrification for those is constant, all day long, 24 hours a day.
00:46:13.960Get this, just like large refrigerated food distribution centers run all day long.
00:46:19.040As you're growing server centers and data centers and electronic currency management facilities, you need all day long continuous baseload electricity.
00:46:33.460Battery storage picks up another two hours a day.
00:46:36.140You need 24-hour-a-day electricity of the type to clean coal, combined cycle, which we should have called recycling the exhaust for 50% more energy, very efficient, and nuclear power provide.
00:46:48.320But in large quantities, not, I mean, we all knew in the industry 40 years ago, 30 years ago, when wind and solar came out, they were marginal bit players to, yeah, you can harvest a little bit of energy now and then.
00:47:01.140Nothing has changed with that technology.
00:47:03.320The sun only shines enough a day for about five hours on average, up north, four and a half hours, then northern Virginia and further north, to provide, you know, interim, intermittent, part-time electricity.
00:47:50.400No, and the spin is, oh, we get this surge in demand.
00:47:55.760Well, the surge in demand in that chart corrects for two recessions that were significant.
00:48:00.420One was brief, fortunately, the more recent one.
00:48:02.660But also the fact of the matter that we have had a prolonged period of deindustrialization, steel plants, chemical plants, paper mills, cement plants,
00:48:12.520the type of industry refinery specifically that needs a lot of electrification, we have begun a period of decline beginning in that time period in this country,
00:48:23.100which has also affected electrical demand.
00:48:26.740Now what's displacing that, server centers, data centers, and here we find ourselves woefully short.
00:48:31.460These grid operators that they interviewed are all on the point of this beer beating the drum of exactly what I've been saying on the show,
00:48:38.960that we don't have enough electricity in the system anymore because we've torn down in those key markets.
00:48:46.320100,000 megawatts of coal has been taken offline and now being torn down.
00:48:53.020That's 12 percent of the U.S. electrical supply before this happened.
00:48:55.980And it's been displaced with some gas, but with a bunch of stuff to the extent of about 40 percent with very, very part-time technology.
00:49:04.820The grid operators have been talking about this for some time.
00:49:07.820Now they've fashioned the spear with talking about it in terms of demand.
00:49:13.480Demand is outstripping what they have to supply in active 24-hour-a-day power plants.
00:49:19.220And it's because what we're displacing baseload stuff with is stuff that works very, very part-time and intermittently.
00:49:25.980Dave, I want to bring you back for another time.
00:49:28.980I mean, President Trump was full-spectrum energy dominance.
00:49:31.620And if you get the new Peter Navarro book, The New MAGA Deal, by going to newmagadeal.com,
00:49:38.940you see all the policies that made us so successful in the first term and will drive America to complete full-spectrum energy dominance in the second.
00:49:46.500But at the state level, like in South Carolina and Florida, I mean, we've had very conservative, very red states fall into this trap of kind of buying into what the cult of climate is selling.
00:50:01.220North Carolina, South Carolina specifically, Florida very specifically, building out now massive quantities of solar power that operate knowingly, knowingly, very, very expensive to build.
00:50:12.900Four and a half times more costly per kilowatt hour generated than basic gas-fired power and only support five hours a day.
00:50:20.380So they're beginning to gut here in the southeast also, buying into incentives and acceding to the pressure of the EPA to keep coal plants offline and new gas plants, don't build them,
00:50:31.600because of now the threat to shut them down beginning by 2035 if gas plants aren't hydrogen-converted and or carbon capture applied.
00:50:41.480Therefore, you can't operate them economically.
00:50:43.320We're seeing a huge solar build here in Carolinas.
00:50:46.120Tennessee has been affected, TVA has announced numerous service curtailments and warnings already when it gets cold, not enough power.
00:51:28.640New York Times piece I'm going to have up on getter so you can see it.
00:51:30.860One of the concerns is state actors and non-state actors, and even, wait for it, your own government, the FBI, CIA, DNI, all of it, being to get you your data, to get you your information, to get you your phone calls, all of it.
00:51:44.920Silent, one of our sponsors, has got a solution for that.
00:51:49.240They've got these great Faraday bags for your computer, your iPad, your phones, all of it.
