00:00:00.000the wholesale, and I've used this term, biblical level insider trading and looting and insider
00:00:07.780deals. I mean, there's hundreds of examples with Trump and the Democrats have increased their
00:00:13.300thieving as well. But Trump's the chief executive and the horror of what he's doing is front and
00:00:18.640center and it's a great betrayal. So on the latest fraud, I'm quite the expert and mainly focused on
00:00:24.720Trump, though I'm still aware what the Democrats are up to, but the most dyed-in-the-wool, clear-cut example is a month ago, and he's now got a bunch of customers, they went ahead with it, $100,000 a month.
00:00:38.740Trump, before he posts, hours before, on Truth Social, tells you what economic announcements he's going to be making before even foreign governments.
00:02:11.320And you can say, well, we'll end up beating them. In the final equation, the people lose. The bankers that want to drive us into economic submission win. And when you understand that Howard Ludnick had a hand in or wrote, depending on which tariff it is, most of the tariffs, and even a Supreme Court justice, when Trump's main global tariffs got overturned earlier this year, wrote him a public letter and said,
00:02:39.720this was written wrong, this subsection,
00:04:31.120But we can't sit there and criticize the Democrats and then not expose what some of the Republicans are doing.
00:04:36.860But by and large, if there is a moral compass and decent policies and ideas, it is within the Republican Party, at least the political manifestation at the state, local, and at some levels, the federal level.
00:04:48.500So there is really a big difference between Republicans and Democrats.
00:04:53.740But once you get to the very highest levels of power, even when people were doing the right thing for a long time, they tend to go sideways.
00:05:00.820And I guess they say that's just the power of Satan to overwhelm someone's will
00:05:04.440if they truly don't have God in them and the Holy Spirit.
00:05:07.480I think it's clear that's what's happened with Trump and the reason he's changed so much.
00:05:11.680You have a bunch of delusional boomers, though, that have their valuable real estate
00:05:14.540and who get the vast majority of all the welfare and social benefits,0.96
00:05:19.820who just think we're party poopers when we criticize all this.
00:05:23.500And in the end, the whole Titanic is going to sink long before most of the boomers die.0.98
00:05:27.620but there won't be any solace in the fact that I was right about that. It'll just be sad that we0.98
00:05:32.520were unable to avert this total and complete disaster. So that's where we are on this 28th
00:05:37.580day of August, Sunday, live transmission. So summing this up that we are basically
00:05:43.680at the equivalent of the end of the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union was not as powerful or
00:05:48.800influential as we are. It's not just the United States that's at the end of the line financially
00:05:52.720with the bond market and the debt and the rest of it. It's also basically every other nation in the
00:05:56.740world. So this is going to be the mother of all financial meltdowns in comparison, any way you
00:06:02.640slice it. And you add to that the major military conflicts happening, the 10 billion people on the
00:06:07.640earth and the fastness of communications and the general dumbed down decadence of the general
00:06:14.020public who's enjoying the leftover gleam of the good old days. And the fact that most people are
00:06:21.140totally unselfsufficient, you add all that together, we are facing a particularly nasty,
00:06:27.740dark future that runs from bad to worse. And I just have a real responsibility to tell you
00:06:32.360the truth about that. I don't think any of you can deny what I'm saying. And if you've got a way
00:06:36.780to, we can avert this or get around this. I intend to open the phones up throughout the week this
00:06:40.380week. It's been a lot of hours, probably four or five hours at least this week, taking calls with
00:06:45.240your idea about how we can grab victory from the jaws of defeat, because I still believe there's
00:06:50.200a way out of this if we repent and go before God and ask God to heal our land. But without God,
00:06:59.040without a mass revival, I don't see that happening. And half the churches in this country,
00:07:03.780even a lot of the Catholic ones, not just Protestant ones, are foaming at the mouth,
00:07:07.200pushing total war, thinking they're about to force Armageddon to the end of the world.
00:07:11.520So I really don't know what to say at that point. Let's go out to break with Tucker Carlson.
00:15:29.500I don't want to just say that and not show it to you.
00:15:38.400Now, the media spins this, and the story's up at alexshoneslive.com,
00:15:43.280excellent article by Dan Lyman, that, oh, he's just getting away with it.
00:15:46.960I'm getting away from it because of the globalist nature of the ESG scores that are the corporate social credit scores that in the corporations enforce the social credit scores on their employees and on governments that take any of their investment.
00:16:05.840But really, it's because even though BlackRock was betting on a collapse scenario, it was still trying to pick the winners and losers.
00:16:15.320Berkshire Hathaway is betting on a total collapse scenario.
00:16:18.340And the fact that Trump just shifted most of his portfolio into a total collapse scenario,
00:16:22.900you can kind of make your own decision out of that, right?
00:16:25.340I report you decide, as Fox used to say.
00:20:41.360To buy like 15, 20 bells was like $100.
00:20:44.220So what's funny is it actually had more value as an example of fraud
00:20:48.760and as a cautionary tale than it ever had in its real life as a currency.
00:20:54.820So if you want to know where we're headed, if we get 1% down the road of where Zimbabwe went, we're in a total depression because of all of our debt and all of our extensions and all the things that are happening.
00:21:09.080And so we're already spending $1.3 trillion a year on the debt, and within a year it'll be $2.5 trillion and another year $5.5 trillion or higher.
00:21:47.740Almost 90% of the United States in 1929 lived in rural areas.
00:21:52.440And they estimate in major studies that I've read and covered on air, and they vary university studies, they're all pretty much the same, that about half the people living in the rural areas were totally self-sufficient.
00:22:04.200They had their own cows, their own turkeys, their own chickens, their own gardens, their own main crops.
00:22:10.120Hell, they were even growing their own tobacco.
00:22:11.680I mean, they were really self-sufficient.
00:22:14.680And between them and their neighbors, their neighbor might be a doctor and another neighbor was a blacksmith so they could barter stuff.
00:22:20.440so they had it and you only had you know 12% or so roughly living in the cities
00:22:29.440now we've got 85% living in the cities it was like 90 until COVID more moved the country so
00:22:38.820it's like you know 85% live in the country roughly but they're not self-sufficient and
00:22:43.660then you maybe got 5% that's totally self-sufficient 10% somewhat so you do the
00:22:49.100numbers out of that we're not at 10 of people being even partially self-sufficient and at five
00:22:57.340percent being self-sufficient um there were robberies murders roving bans seven to 11 million
00:23:03.480people depending on the study that starved to death during the great depression for those 10 years
00:23:06.680and that's with half the public somewhat self-sufficient or close to it 47 percent
00:23:12.740you have that happen with five percent self-sufficient doesn't matter how many
00:23:17.820government bunkers they've got, how many secret weapons they've got. It doesn't matter what they've
00:23:23.000got. It's going to be the end of civilization. The nuclear reactors will melt down in all the
00:23:28.560actuarial studies within months. And you've got all the elites getaway plan is giant floating
00:23:34.500city yachts and support ships and private islands in the South Pacific. And there's news everywhere
00:23:40.600that that's where they're fleeing and deploying to.
00:23:44.960And bunkers in New Zealand and Argentina.
00:24:59.460So I humbly ask for your support, though I know it's harder than ever to choose who you're going to support and to make those decisions and to support us here at the Alex Jones Network, AlexJonesLive.com, and TheAlexJonesTour.com.
00:25:11.020Okay, let's go to those clips as I mentioned.
00:25:12.840Here's Tucker, and he's being demonized for this.
00:25:15.500This is just a statement of Alex Jones is wearing a black shirt.
00:28:49.380Well, generally, I mean, I'm grossly oversimplifying, but if you look at the people who did what's called the Rape of Russia, it's a similar group.
00:29:00.680I was in the city of London making a presentation in 2001, and I'd been asked to speak about what I call piratization in the United States, the consolidation of the real estate and housing market.
00:29:12.780So I'd been the assistant secretary of housing.
00:29:15.020and i gave the presentation and two presentations followed one by ann williamson who had been
00:29:21.320covering russia for the wall street journal during the rape of russia and she got up and
00:29:26.720gave a presentation and then john laughlin who's a remarkable british commentator now in paris
00:29:33.180stood up and did the same on what had happened in eastern europe and the three of us went into
00:29:39.080shock as did many of the investors in the room because we realized it was the same firms the
00:29:44.840same law firms, the same intelligence agencies, and what they were doing in Eastern Europe and
00:29:51.340in Russia and in the United States was a very similar game. We have a big presentation called
00:29:57.400Plunder. But they were basically going in and plundering. And it was one plan. It wasn't three
00:30:04.400different plans or three different groups. It was a process of consolidation of the economies
00:30:46.640Secretary, if you could answer facing the cameras.
00:30:51.220But the $40 trillion mark that we passed from the national debt, would you comment on that and how do we reverse that?
00:30:57.520Yeah, look, the $40 trillion is a big number.
00:31:00.660It is smaller when we look at the publicly traded amount because our social security funds and other government entities hold a substantial amount.
00:31:10.940And what we're going to do, we're going to have to grow our way out of this.
00:31:14.580And as I talked about at G20 in Asheville, we are going to talk about the U.S. growth strategy and encourage the rest of the world to come along with us.
00:31:24.080We are also, I announced that Director Russ Vogt and I have been tasked with looking at fiscal consolidation.
00:31:33.860I think the numbers are not the actual numbers now.
00:31:37.620We've had to do substantial tariff refunds due to the court ruling.
00:31:41.620But with the Section 301 tariffs, I am confident that we will be back to the same level, if not higher, of tariff income for last year.
00:31:52.520and that is most of the increase in the deficit and remember we did not get here in a day that
00:31:58.600we were left with a mess the biden administration had the highest deficit to gdp in history when we
00:32:06.000weren't at war or weren't in a recession for 2025 we brought it down by more than a percent
00:32:12.300yeah it's generally true that confidence in a government currency is key and and and i tried
00:32:19.440to have confidence in what Trump was first doing because it was
00:32:21.420all the right moves. These are all the wrong moves.
00:32:23.620And the numbers are clear. I'm not going to lie to you.
00:32:25.800If you disagree with me, that's fine. We'll be taking calls
00:32:27.560during the weekday show this week, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
00:32:29.740Central here on the Alex Jones Network.
