00:03:27.520Absolutely. You're going to read the same inside baseball that the C-suite, chairman of the boards and CEOs around the world, keep up on every month.
00:03:36.220The New York engine room reminds me, sending me a writer story here, just came out moments ago, that Goldman Sachs expects the Fed to do another rate hike in December.
00:03:47.180I think also the prediction mark is the same, maybe another one even in December.
00:09:12.760Karen Sigmund and Dr. Bradley Thayer join us.
00:09:15.900Karen, talk to us. I want everybody to go and sign up for this that can.
00:09:20.620There's a very special event tonight in honor of Dr. Thayer in this incredible book, and it couldn't be more timely, America's 100-year war against communism and how we win, the practical manual, how we win.
00:09:33.380The event tonight is going to be in the Washington, D.C. area.
00:09:37.100And where do people go to sign up right now, ma'am?
00:09:41.380Yeah, we're delighted to be hosting this.
00:09:44.840More information is on the AmericanFreedomAlliance.org website.
00:09:48.780Dr. Thayer is, of course, an AFA fellow and his book is brilliant. And the juxtaposition of this exact book, America's War, that we've been fighting for over 100 years, juxtaposed against communism, juxtaposed with Constitution Day is just completely perfect.
00:10:08.580what an exactly right way to celebrate our constitution, our freedoms, all the principles
00:10:14.480that we're founded on by also looking at the opposite principles that communism is founded on
00:10:21.040and the war that they've been waging against us. So AmericanFreedomAlliance.org, you have to be
00:10:26.500registered in order to show up. There's all the information is right there. And we're of course
00:10:31.760delighted that you'll be speaking as well, Steve. It's going to be a tremendous evening. If you
00:10:36.660scroll down a little further, you'll see Steve Bannon is a featured speaker as well.
00:10:42.780Yeah. I will speak maybe, I don't know, right before or right after Dr. Thayer.
00:10:47.360And there'll be a book signing also. While I've got you, Karen, you've done a series of
00:10:55.200conferences over the years on the Third World War. Give me your assessment right now as we
00:11:00.960look here on constitution day in 2026 that arc of instability from um from um the ukraine all the
00:11:09.860way down to the horn of africa now everything through it uh which doesn't include really our
00:11:15.240biggest threat which the chinese communist party but just that arc of instability do you believe
00:11:19.680since you guys have been putting on these conferences for the last couple of years about0.67
00:11:23.200the coming of world war three the kinetic part of it yeah we're in it now oh absolutely i mean when
00:11:30.140When we did this, the first one was in 2023, and then we did a whole series around the country in 2024, World War III, the early years.
00:11:37.940And people were pretty unaware of the fact that war has been being waged against us, and we brought home that point.
00:11:44.140And we're holding another one, October 18th, in order to revisit the threats from that time, but also to bring in all the current ones.0.94
00:11:52.880At the time, yes, it was looking possible that Ukraine was going to be that spark that would light everything up.
00:11:59.300China, of course, was one of the main players, but we weren't even really considering the Middle East. Certainly Africa, Pakistan were not on our radar at that time. We weren't really talking about the destabilization of immigration here. There was a lot we weren't talking about at that time that we will be addressing.
00:12:19.520The fact that war has been being waged against us for a great many years is something people are too unaware of, and that now it's becoming increasingly kinetic is something that we really need to have to be wise to, alert to, that we call this Department of Defense is now the Department of War.
00:12:44.140I think was a great move to recognize there's tremendous instability globally and we really
00:12:50.580have to be alert to it. So yeah, it warrants a lot of much more in-depth examination and certainly
00:13:00.020a recognition of the war footing we need to be on. Dr. Thayer, tell me about the book and the event
00:13:06.420tonight. Well, Steve, I'm just so pleased that you'll be able to speak and thanks to your hard
00:13:11.960work, and Karen's, we will have the event tonight. The book explains that we defeated the Soviet
00:13:21.420Union, of course, in the Cold War at great cost, but we didn't defeat the ideology of communism.
00:13:27.260And that ideology is alive and well, not only in the Chinese Communist Party, but it's present in
00:13:32.780the United States. And it's supported through the Chinese Communist Party and other actors
00:13:37.840to destroy the United States as a constitutional republic0.92
00:13:41.600and replace it with a totalitarian government.
00:13:45.520The book argues we're in a revolutionary time.
00:13:48.100This is like no other time in our history except at our founding,
00:13:54.400a 1776 moment, because we're in the midst of this revolution.
00:13:59.620Whether the United States is going to remain a constitutional republic
00:14:03.580or whether the communists are going to win,
00:14:05.820they're going to turn us into a totalitarian country. So the fight is everything. It's a
00:14:11.900revolutionary time. The book explains why we're in that revolutionary time and what we need to do
00:14:17.240about it to address the threat of communism and defeat it once and for all so we can end the
00:14:24.140hundred years war. Dr. Thayer, hang on. I'm going to call you and Karen. Chad, I think we're getting
00:14:29.920And Chad Pratherup is going to join us also.
00:14:59.040You don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector, and you don't wait until the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane.
00:15:11.140And you don't reach for your seatbelt after the impact because after the crash, the hurricane, or the house fire, it's too late.
00:15:19.640Similarly, you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy gold.
00:19:35.760I'll never forget a very big day for that. I'm going to get Chad Prather here for a second.
00:19:41.740From the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, Armistice Day, we call it Veterans Day today, but Armistice Day, the end of the Great War at the time.
00:19:52.82025 years later or what 1943 the pivotal year of 1943 i believe the bloodiest and the biggest0.93
00:20:02.960part of the global conflict from what was happening in china with the imperial japanese
00:20:07.280army what was happening in russia um with the uh with the russian army now pivoting and driving
00:20:13.820the nazis and of course the americans in the pacific uh all of it had finished north africa
00:20:19.120I think we're getting for Sicily, all of it, prepping for D-Day and the crusade in Europe.
00:20:25.460Those people will tell you, hey, we think we forgot and we're overwhelmed by global forces.
00:20:32.820Of course, there's all types of controversy with how we got into that war.
00:20:35.920But 25 years after, there's no doubt that we face very difficult times here in the United States and the enemies inside the wire.
00:20:46.400Chad Prather. What inspired you to write that song? Because it really has, I think, become an
00:20:52.460anthem, and it's hurtling up the charts. I want to talk about what we need to do today to make
00:20:57.300sure that's in the top five or top ten. So what inspired you, particularly to give the broad view
00:21:03.540of this, sir? Well, thank you, Steve. I think that if we don't know our history and where we
00:21:09.840came from, we lose our sense of identity. And if we lose our identity, we don't know where we're
00:21:13.900going, which is our destiny. And if we don't know where we're going, we don't know what we're
00:21:17.440leaving behind, which is our legacy. So it all starts with history and remembering. And so to
00:21:22.040tell this story, we have a generation of people out there today, young people who weren't there.
00:21:26.380They don't know the punch in the gut of the tragedy and the sacrifice of that day. So we
00:21:31.000need to tell that story. And so this is a song about remembering in general. I encourage people,
00:21:36.320I say, just because I say never forget doesn't mean never question. There's a lot of narratives
00:21:40.800out there that we should still be asking the questions, still be investigating, pursuing the
00:21:44.900truth. But at the end of the day, it's a tragedy that was purchased on our soil that has a
00:21:52.520requirement in the present day. And I think that story is worth telling. And we're using music to
00:21:56.920do it. You know, the funny thing, Steve, is people, this song, it is an anthem. It's resonated with a
00:22:01.440lot of people. And a lot of people don't realize we were within about 400 downloads yesterday of
00:22:08.680being the number one song in country music. I think we got as high as number three in all genres
00:22:14.780and on the global scale hit 120. That's all music in existence on the global scale. That song hit
00:22:21.580120. So the power of patriots, not only to remember, but to tell that story and to share
00:22:27.900this song, it's amazing the impact that it's making. What do we need to do today? Because
00:22:34.620Thursday night, I take it, is when they come up and they collectively go through it and pick the Billboard 200.
00:22:41.700So this is a big cultural moment for the right.
00:22:44.520What do we need to do today to get in back of the song to make sure that we've got appropriate representation on the Billboard 200, sir?
00:22:52.840Well, we complain a lot about the influence of the moguls, the media, the deep state, the movies, the music, all of the things that's out there.
00:23:01.700What this song is demonstrating is that the power is in the hands of patriotic people.
00:23:06.060If they can go to iTunes and download it, like actually, I don't know, a lot of people stream their music.
00:23:10.820They haven't spent 99 cents or $1.29 on music in probably 15 years.
00:23:15.280That's just the nature of the days that we live in.
00:23:17.740But that's what drives it up the chart is actually going and buying the song.
00:23:21.740Now, again, all the net proceeds from this song go to benefit Tunnels to Towers.
00:23:25.820So a lot of people say, are you capitalizing on a tragedy?
00:23:29.200We're telling the story, and we're benefiting Tunnels to Towers in doing it.
00:23:32.920But this sends a message across the board to the entertainment industry that there's still real people out there with real values and American foundation and ideas that matter.
00:23:44.940And the patriots have the power in their hands right now to do this.
00:23:51.020You say, well, I'm not an Apple person.
00:23:52.320Well, let's send a message to Apple and say this is the type of programming, the type of music, this type of stuff that the algorithm needs to favor because this is the stuff that real Americans choose to listen to and believe in.
00:24:02.800This is the messaging we want. I'm proud of this project. I can't say enough about it.
00:24:06.740Real America's music, Real America's voice, folks like yourself, Steve, thank you.
00:24:10.800I'm humbled that you guys have given it the attention and voice and platform that it has been given.
00:24:15.260But, man, what an opportunity we have to wake up tomorrow morning on Friday, the 18th of September, and say there's a song that's in the top five on the billboard charts that's making a difference.
00:24:29.120I mean, this is fantastic to watch this happen.
00:29:43.960So I'm going to get onto the AI topic this afternoon at the 5 o'clock, so tune in.0.76
00:29:51.900There is already one or two of the Frontier Labs that 100% agree with me about, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party and how we deal with this.0.86
00:39:42.680and ultimately reduces inflationary pressures. So as I mentioned before, you have two different
00:39:48.360economic levers pulling in opposite directions. The Treasury and the administration are trying
00:39:54.060to increase the economy's capacity to grow. The Fed is trying to restrain demand enough
00:39:59.360to bring inflation down. It's not necessarily irrational, right? The Fed would argue that
00:40:04.900long-term lasting growth requires price stability. High inflation ultimately damages investment. But
00:40:11.960it absolutely makes the administration's job significantly more difficult right think about
00:40:17.900a manufacturer deciding on whether to build another factory deregulation may make that
00:40:23.260investment more attractive sorry tax policy and strong economic growth will as well but the cost
00:40:30.800of financing that factory keeps climbing then the math will stop working at some point so these two
00:40:36.880things are working in opposite directions and it's just making the administration's job which was
00:40:41.500already very difficult, by the way, even more difficult. I mean, isn't that President Trump's
00:40:47.160frustration that he's trying to grow his way? I mean, the theory from the beginning, go back to
00:40:52.340all of our broadcasts. Well, first off, the years that Scott Besant was here as a contributor,
00:40:58.940but also, you know, Philip Patrick and Peter Navarro, the entire plan was a supply side tax
00:41:07.600got driven last chance, as Besson said, to drive growth. Can't you understand the frustration of
00:41:15.320President Trump when he sees this and they're tightening the credit cycle and he's sitting
00:41:19.940there going, hey, we're trying to grow our way out of it. How are we going to take this headwind,
00:41:24.520sir? Yeah, of course I can. Listen, this is a growth guy. This has always been his plan for
00:41:30.340the beginning. And we have an economic environment that's making that very difficult to achieve.
00:41:35.660by the way, despite that, we're seeing huge amounts of success, right? What put the Fed in
00:41:40.820a tough position was GDP growing, unemployment at historically low levels. So a lot of what the
00:41:47.780administration are doing is absolutely working. But like I said, they're running uphill at this
00:41:54.660point, and they have a Fed who's actively working against them. I'd like to put all of the blame on
00:41:59.960Kevin Walsh. The reality is the markets were doing a ton of the tightening on his behalf regardless.
00:42:07.440So I think some of this blame does lie with Congress as well. I think if we had shown
00:42:12.100or taken actionable steps to start reducing the deficit, that would have bought the Federal
00:42:18.940Reserve a little bit more time. I think the markets would have given us a little bit more
00:42:22.820leeway. At the end of the day, I think the world wants America to get on top of these problems.
00:42:27.820They want us to succeed. And I think if we start showing them we're making the right decisions when it comes to spending, they're going to give the administration the time that they need to execute the plan effectively.
00:42:39.760But we need a Federal Reserve that's playing ball as well.
00:42:43.840Philip, hang on for one second. I realized during the day that people should understand Philip is inundated with customers and the trading desk and all that.
00:42:53.120That's why we do everything we can do to put you in touch with Philip and his team.
00:42:57.060if you can just hang on for one second philip i got a question about central banks now that bonds
00:43:01.780like the 10-year treasuries up uh the uh central banks thinking about gold because central bank
00:43:08.580purchasing has done a lot to kind of the pattern recognition to drive uh demand for gold home
