On today's show, Stephen K. Bamb and Lisa Chow talk about the impact of the Fed's rate hike announcement, the impact on the economy and financial markets, and the potential for more rate hikes in the near term.
00:07:57.960She's absolutely brilliant every morning on Bloomberg TV.
00:08:00.780If you get a chance, you ought to be watching that.
00:08:02.180I want to go to, with all that, I'm going to start with Boris, because I want to put this in perspective.
00:08:09.600The individual, now think about this for a second.
00:08:13.100You've got the mortal enemies of freedom and liberty in Moscow plotting their roll-up of the Eurasian landmass and driving America into the sea.
00:08:26.820You've got them plotting about what they're going to do in Taiwan and destroy the American economy.
00:08:32.660You've got them plotting what they're going to do with the mullahs in Persia and what they're doing with the House of Saud and all of it.
00:08:39.040From Pakistan to mini-me in North Korea.
00:08:41.320And you've got, you know, he's kicking around, so he's got two million guys, two million volunteers going to be throwing nuclear weapons everywhere, right?
00:08:50.280By the way, it's been assessed today that, or been acknowledged that each citizen in Switzerland will be, not assessed, but their tab on this thing looks like it's going to be $13,500 for the merger, for the cram together of those elite banks, the elite banks.
00:09:10.460Boris Epstein, with all that, we have a guy who gave you four years of peace and prosperity in one of the most dangerous times in American history, and we're sitting here spending time, which I refuse to spend too much of it, on an idiotic, radical, source-backed attorney general of the state of New York and local DA that are – the charge is so bizarre, it's not even to be worthwhile of talking about.
00:09:39.720It's just all they want to do is perp-walk Donald J. Trump.
00:09:42.880And so on the world stage, the leader of the United States of America and someone who got 74 million votes – let me repeat that, 74 million votes – and had the presidency stolen from him with every effort they did and every trick they pulled and all the mail-in ballots and everything they did, all of it, by 53,000 votes in a couple of states, okay?
00:10:08.100That individual, all they're doing is plotting and planning and lab and doing all this is to perp-walking either later this week or next week in New York City.
00:10:16.140I want you to compare and contrast that.
00:10:17.940The one president in this country, Ronald Reagan included, that braced up the Chinese Communist Party, when the Bush – remember, the Bush junta saved the Chinese Communist Party after Tiananmen Square, saved them, saved them.
00:10:32.840The Chinese people, Lao Baixing, the 10,000 dead throughout the country in Tiananmen Square that gave their lives for Lady Liberty, right?
00:10:40.220We're prepared to overthrow those monsters, backed by Bush 41, okay?
00:10:47.100You had – and by the way, we're on the 20th anniversary of the evasion of the illegal, illegitimate invasion of Iraq, of more blood and treasure, $7 trillion and tens of thousands of American lives, not even counting the Iraqi lives and the Christians in the Middle East.
00:11:04.540On that, we have a leader, and this is particularly for the people that can't stand the sound of Donald Trump's name.
00:11:14.340You have a leader that gave us four years of peace and prosperity in a time of turbulence, chaos, and anarchy in the world.
00:11:22.680And they're going to have him perp walk next week for a charge that is so bizarre and so ridiculous, it is not – reasonable people should not even discuss it because it has nothing to do with the law.
00:11:38.100This is the administrative state, the deep state, these evil, evil, evil people that oppose us, okay?
00:11:45.180And they oppose us with everything in their might.
00:11:47.300These evil people, and they are evil, to their core being they're evil, and they hate this country.
00:11:52.660They're trying to destroy this country, and they think they're doing – I got news for them.
00:11:57.200Donald Trump is going to unite this country with this.
00:12:00.480He's going to unite this country like this country has never been united.
00:12:03.280It's never been united like it's going to be around Trump.
00:12:06.580Even people that can't stand Trump understand that are going to start understanding, hey, there's something deeply, deeply, deeply wrong here.
00:12:14.640Why do they hate him? Why are they trying to put him in jail? Why are they trying to thwart him at every different level?
00:12:19.140Boris Epstein, your thoughts, comments, and observations, sir.
00:12:23.680Steve, honored to be with you. Honored to be with the posse.
00:12:26.120And I want to start by reading something, and then maybe you'll put it up on screen.
00:12:30.940I sent it to you and Denver shortly ago.
00:12:34.380Interviews with election law experts strongly suggest that New York state prosecutors have never before filed an election law case involving a federal campaign.
00:12:43.540Bringing an untested case against anyone, let alone a former president of the United States, carries the risk that a court can throw out or narrow the case.
00:12:53.100That is a quote not from David Schoen.
00:13:16.500And as you said, pulling together the fact that the Biden crime family is owned, owned by the Chinese Communist Party, as Jamie Comer, James Comer, and others are revealing so artfully,
00:13:30.780and the fact that President Trump is the only leader in American history to truly stand up to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:13:37.280You pull those two facts together, and now you have this attack against President Trump, this persecution of President Trump, by radical, woke persecutors all over the country,
00:13:46.840Manhattan, D.A., New York, A.G., down in Fulton County, Georgia, and of course, the special Jack Smith.
00:15:43.560Whether physical gold and silver in your own safe or through an IRA and precious metals, where you can hold real gold and silver in a tax-sheltered retirement account.

00:17:54.760The reason Hitler declared war in the United States, which was his biggest gamble, probably even bigger than, or as big as Lisa turning on his part in the Soviet Union, was that he, they had a secret deal.
00:18:08.420They had a secret treaty they had signed.
00:18:11.640Compare and contrast what's happened in Moscow the last couple of days, because the media is sitting there going, well, they just had some photo ops.
00:18:18.620They're cutting secret deals all the time behind the scenes.
00:18:30.340Boris, compare and contrast the Nazis in Japan, because it was the same plan, the same plan to control the Eurasian landmass.
00:18:37.720They were just going to do it from the exterior going in.
00:18:40.540The sphere of co-prosperity, the Asian sphere of co-prosperity is what the Japanese called it.
00:18:46.240The Nazis wanted Liebenstraum, right, wanted living space.
00:18:48.840But compare and contrast what the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese did in the Japanese Empire to what the KGB and the CCP are doing right now.
00:19:01.460And the Chinese Communist Party right now is the greatest threat to world democracies, the greatest threat to, you know, the world peace.
00:19:13.560And it's no doubt the greatest threat and adversary to the United States of America.
00:23:03.340But when you talk to people, it's people, a populist, nationalist, America first set of policies is what's going to save this country and save the world.
00:23:14.380That's why people are going to unite around Donald Trump, even people that hate him.
00:24:48.840Let me say this here, and I've got a pretty good track record of crystal ball.
00:24:52.000Donald Trump is going to unite this country.
00:24:54.600In this situation with the administrative state and deep state making stuff up, tearing up the rulebook, as I told you, the Swiss tore it up over the weekend.
00:25:02.280The feds and all the treasury tore it up on Silicon Valley Bank.
00:25:06.400They'll tear up the playbook and rechange it.
00:25:35.500How is President Trump uniting the country right now?
00:25:38.220Steve, he's uniting the country by absolutely dominating, dominating in the polling with Republicans and Democrats.
00:25:45.180You look yesterday, a poll he had him at 64, and this is head-to-head against the governor of Florida, who is, I guess, busy giving interviews to Piers Morgan.
00:25:54.100I didn't realize Piers Morgan still had a show or any sort of presence.
00:25:57.620I thought he was just doing some game shows somewhere out there in London or in the rural U.K., but, you know, the governor of Florida had time to sit down with Piers Morgan and have a chat, and I guess Ron DeSantis thinks that he's George Washington or something.
00:26:12.440So while President Trump is uniting the country against radical, woke persecutors and fighting to stand for America, to stand for America's strength, the governor of Florida isn't focused on Florida.
00:26:25.320He's focused on, you know, having little powwows with Piers Morgan.
00:26:29.560President Trump at 64, the next guy at 36.
00:26:31.920If you look at morning consult polling, Steve, this is political morning consult, okay?
00:27:01.920This race is over in the Republican primary, and if you look at the head-to-head, President Trump looking at Arizona, he's up 11 on pathetic Joe Biden.
00:27:16.260President Trump's robust videos and the fact that they're coming at him so hard.
00:27:20.520You have the financial fans just coming at us with a story saying it's a mistake to go after President Trump on a nonsense technicality.
00:27:27.800You've got a constitutional way left of center scholar Marshall Tannick writing in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that this case is a mistake.
00:27:38.280There was no crime, no affair, and the only issue there is an extortion by President Trump and all this one big conspiracy to take him down.
00:27:47.360Boris, how did we get to you on social media?
00:37:55.680Very successful strategy over many years.
00:37:58.160They're so deeply beholden to the CCP, to the Chinese market, to their business deals with China, that they did not want President Trump to improve relations with Russia, to try to aggressively go after the Chinese.
00:38:17.500Now, that being said, I want to make another big third point here about what we just saw coming out of Moscow.
00:38:23.920The United States has spent decades since 1949 in the communist revolution and the communist takeover of China.
00:38:33.660We have spent so much time, energy, and resources trying to keep these two great powers apart from exploiting the Sino-Soviet split in the early 1960s, to Nixon's opening to China, to what President Trump wanted to do with improving relations with China to counterbalance or Russia to counterbalance China.
00:39:00.400And in two and a half short years, Joe Biden's weakness, and therefore America's weakness, has driven these two countries together.
00:39:18.300And while this three-day state visit was going on, this president, deeply compromised by the CCP, was hosting sitcom stars, including the cast of Ted Lasso at the White House.
00:39:33.600I'm a fan of Ted Lasso, watching the new season now, there's Jason Sudeikis, but this is what this clown, fool, compromised hack of a president was doing,
00:39:46.040while China and Russia are coming together to immediately, distinctly, and seriously jeopardize America's long-term, medium-term, and short-term interests economically, militarily, politically, and culturally.
00:40:03.660As you know, the sign we have a backup, we don't believe in conspiracy theories, but there's no coincidences.
00:40:10.860On the moment that this historic meeting happens, okay, at the very moment that Comer, and remember, Comer is a decent, hard-working guy.
00:40:21.160You see the profile of him in the New York Times.
00:40:22.800See the New York Times, couldn't find anything on him.
00:40:25.560He's not a fire breather, but he has methodically gone and got the bank records.
00:40:29.500At the very moment, think about it for a second, that you prove beyond any doubt that the Biden crime family is on the direct payroll of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:40:39.460CEF, the company, that is a wholly owned company by the PLA and by the CCP, joint ownership of the People's Liberation Army and the Chinese Communist Party as its capital markets provider.
00:40:51.060It's a capital markets company, not just an energy trading company.
00:40:54.100It's a capital markets provider on one belt, one road, the initial foundational element of taking over the Eurasian landmass because these guys think decades and decades ahead, right?
00:41:03.600At the very moment you see the receipts from the bank in Congress, in open hearings, at the moment you see the bank receipts where they had the money wired to them, to the Biden crime family, you have this situation in New York City, and it's all the media is covered in 24 hours a day.
00:41:24.380It's the reason we won't cover it, that much of it.
00:41:26.560It's totally, it's completely rigged, and it's beneath intelligence people's time to spend on it because of what's happening in the world.
00:41:37.720Yeah, I mean, now they've got this great shiny object with the, we're assuming the impending indictment of Donald Trump.
00:41:46.580They threw that out there, and of course, the press and everybody does exactly what they're told right on cue, they go chase the shiny object, rather than focusing on the bigger things that are happening in the world that are incredibly dangerous to the United States and to every American.
00:42:02.960Whether it's China and Russia coming together in a geostrategic and economic partnership, which, by the way, Steve, is going to take decades to unravel, just as it took us decades to continue to keep them apart, it's going to take decades to unravel this new partnership that also now includes Iran and, of course, North Korea.
00:42:26.020You've got a new axis of evil developing.
00:42:28.640Look, Steve, what is increasingly clear is that Joe Biden is an actual Manchurian candidate, and I mean that literally.
00:42:36.600He is a Manchurian candidate that has become president.
00:42:40.380And as we unravel the origins of COVID and what went down in 2020, and the fact that the globalists and the deep state literally shut down the global economy to stop one man, Donald Trump, and I said this to you at CPAC on this show, we are going to find out that that was one part of the equation, stopping Trump.
00:43:03.800The other part of the equation, Steve, was selecting and installing their own choice, which was Joe Biden's perfect control.
00:46:23.740And this is why in the Ides of March we had that 12 minute cold open where we put together different aspects of Julius Caesar's or Shakespeare's Julius Caesar,
00:46:33.400including the part where Trump, they did it in Central Park where Trump was Caesar and they assassinated him.
00:46:39.560The evil that men do lives beyond them.
00:46:57.280That is basically your assessment of Joe Biden.
00:47:01.160What you're saying about Joe Biden is even when Trump comes back and beats its Biden or Newsom, whoever it is, because Trump's going to win the presidency.
00:47:07.540We've got a we got we got a 10 times heavier lift than we had in 16 and 17.
00:47:15.280And the reason is what these people have done to our economy, to the financial system, to having the Federal Reserve just print this out of control, print this money.
00:47:24.920The spending's out of control and the not just weakness.
00:47:30.060This is about this is about moves they've made that have put this country in peril, put this country in peril, including now uniting the worst elements.
00:47:41.460The KGB in Moscow, the CCP in Beijing, the Mullahs in Persia, the House of Saud, our allies, quote unquote, in the in the in the Persian Gulf.
00:47:54.400You got Iraq's going to cut a deal with them to take it into to take a Chinese currency for the oil.
00:47:59.860You got Pakistan's thrown in with them.
00:48:30.620It does tempt the bad guys to advance and expand on their own interests.
00:48:37.900And frankly, you know, people get mad at me when I say this, but it's the absolute truth.
00:48:42.060If Xi and Putin and the Mullahs in Iran and Kim sitting in Pyongyang, if they didn't seek to advance against America and against America's interests and advance their own interests, they'd be derelict in their own duty.
00:48:58.500They're only taking full advantage of a window of opportunity provided by a weak American president.
00:49:37.740But look, it's an iron law of international relations that weaker powers will always flock to the stronger power for protection and for, you know, political protection, economic trade, you name it.
00:49:53.380And so what we're seeing now, because the U.S. is weak, both in real terms and getting weaker and perceived as weak, you've got all of these other countries now flocking to what looks like the stronger guy on the block.
00:50:19.300During the Cold War, we had a bipolar world, right?
00:50:25.520And then after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we went to a unipolar world with the United States as the tentpole power.
00:50:33.800Now we have sort of slipped back into a bipolar world with the United States and China.
00:50:39.940But China's goal is to get rid of the United States as one of the tentpole powers and make itself as the unipolar power.
00:50:48.220And so, of course, all of these other lesser powers are dying to be junior members of this new global emerging with China at the top.
00:51:00.580And, you know, while all this is happening, while Rome is burning, we've got our own president whistling past the graveyard hosting sitcom stars.
