00:01:11.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:13.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:15.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:18.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:22.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:23.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:24.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:26.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:32.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:41.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:44.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:53.000 What is money?

00:01:55.000 Money is monetary energy.

00:01:58.000 Every person listening to this, hopefully, has some money, an ever decreasing value of money, that's for sure, no matter how rich you are.

00:02:09.000 Money is as old as time because money is supposed to represent value.

00:02:12.000 Money used to be represented in seashells, gold, silver, coins, and the barter system.

00:02:19.000 Absent civilizational construct and government coining currency, people will still need to trade value for value.

00:02:28.000 You have a farmer and he needs to trade five goats and he has to get a car.

00:02:34.000 He's got to make a deal happen.

00:02:36.000 The barter system still happens time to time, mostly off-the-book transfers, but the barter system is incredibly inefficient.

00:02:45.000 The barter system is hard to track.

00:02:46.000 It's also hard to kind of find purchasers for that particular value because someone says, yeah, I don't want a goat.

00:02:53.000 I want a dog or I want corn or I want a bushel of wheat, whatever.

00:02:58.000 Money replaced it so you could have an objective measurement of value.

00:03:03.000 So you no longer had to find a specific buyer for a specific product and make those trades happen.

00:03:09.000 Ledgers then replaced the barter system.

00:03:13.000 This was the advent of mercantilism.

00:03:15.000 Ledgers were usually administered in port cities where the mayor or the governor of the trading area would be in charge of the ledger.

00:03:29.000 That ledger would show who owes money to whom when a transaction was facilitated.

00:03:34.000 And ledgers were usually backed by gold, meaning someone would say that the city of or the port of Turks and Caicos or whatever is guaranteeing your purchase with 10 pieces of gold or 20 pieces of silver.

00:03:54.000 Now, the barter system is really inefficient.

00:03:57.000 And the gold standard, which was the standard for civilization, especially through the Industrial Revolution and the American Revolution, definitely has its advantages.

00:04:09.000 But there are some disadvantages to the gold standard.

00:04:12.000 The disadvantage to the gold standard is if you want to declare war or grow government, there's only so much currency out there that will allow you to seek those ambitions and those aims and those goals.

00:04:25.000 So money is monetary energy.

00:04:28.000 Now, just a good rule for life.

00:04:30.000 Civilizations that most effectively channel energy win.

00:04:36.000 That's an interesting thing to think about.

00:04:38.000 I want you to ponder that.

00:04:40.000 That's a podcast or a radio show for a different time.

00:04:43.000 For example, when the United Kingdom fought the Dervishes, they had machine guns.

00:04:51.000 The United Kingdom did. 0.78

00:04:53.000 The Dervishes had camels and horses.

00:04:57.000 Whoever better used energy won that battle.

00:05:00.000 Whoever was better able to use technology won that battle.

00:05:07.000 Now, after World War I, almost instantaneously, when World War I broke out, almost every country in Europe went off the gold standard and went to some fiat currency, almost instantaneously, almost immediately.

00:05:19.000 This was to help finance the war.

00:05:22.000 In order to fund the war machine, they needed to get to some sort of floating or fiat currency.

00:05:30.000 They began the process of debasing their currency.

00:05:35.000 Now, in 1917, America passed the income tax.

00:05:40.000 And also, we passed something called the Federal Reserve Act.

00:05:43.000 This was passed by then-progressive former college president, head of Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson, which was the beginning stage.

00:05:52.000 It set the framework of the central banking system.

00:05:58.000 Throughout the 20s and 30s, it became more clear that in order to finance, especially the 30s, to finance FDR's massive government programs, we had to further debase and devalue our currency.

00:06:10.000 And finally, Richard Nixon, he kind of slammed the door on a multi-decade project of ending the gold standard and transitioning to a fiat currency by basically going outside of anything that is backed by metallic or objective or finite value and went into an infinite value monetary universe.

00:06:32.000 Inflation is cheating.

00:06:37.000 Inflation is nothing new.

00:06:38.000 Almost every declining civilization participates in an inflation cycle.

00:06:47.000 Copernicus, who is known not for his monetary theory, but instead for his scientific and Korean discovery, he famously said nations are not ruined by one act of violence, like 9-11 or Pearl Harbor.

00:07:01.000 He says, but instead, nations are ruined gradually and in an almost imperceivable manner by the depreciation of the circulating currency through its excessive quality.

00:07:17.000 It's tempting when you're running a country to want to increase the money supply.

00:07:23.000 It's tempting because it's an easy fix, it's a sugar high.

00:07:29.000 But it's cheating and it's lying.

00:07:34.000 Inflation, put simply, is the declining of purchasing power.

00:07:38.000 It's the rate at which the value of the dollar or the currency is falling.

00:07:44.000 The Roman Republic famously did this by cutting the corners of coins, or what was once a gold Roman coin eventually became a copper coin.

00:07:56.000 We used to have legitimate silver in our nickels in our quarters here in America.

00:08:01.000 Now we don't.

00:08:02.000 Now we have some sort of mixture.

00:08:06.000 How value is transferred is one of the most important questions a country or a civilization can ask themselves.

00:08:16.000 When you're on a sugar high of inflation, it might feel really good.

00:08:19.000 The stock market might go up.

00:08:20.000 It might look like you're experiencing record growth.

00:08:23.000 You might see massive price to earning ratios.

00:08:27.000 You might see a stock market that goes to $35,000, $38,000 on the SP 500 or the Dow.

00:08:34.000 But the question should be for the cooler heads in the room or the people that understand economics is: wait a second, what is the driving force behind this?

00:08:42.000 Do we have an increase in value or do we have an increase in dollars?

00:08:47.000 Those are two different questions.

00:08:50.000 And the media over the last two years has been trying to tell us that, oh, we have an increase in value.

00:08:56.000 The economy is doing wonderful.

00:08:58.000 When in reality, those of us that track these things closely, we've known all along we've simply increased the amount of dollar bills in the supply.

00:09:07.000 Now, that's not to say that no value has been created.

00:09:10.000 In the immediate, when you have a lot of dollar bills, producers are going to try to produce more stuff because more people have more dollar bills to pay for things.

00:09:18.000 But then as soon as that happens, all of a sudden, what happens when you run out of stuff?

00:09:21.000 What happens when you're not able to fulfill the orders or to be able to produce the value at the equivalent pace of the people's demand with the dollar bills?

00:09:28.000 What do you get?

00:09:29.000 A supply chain crisis.

00:09:32.000 And then you have to raise prices because you got less stuff.

00:09:34.000 So you have more people with dollar bills try to buy less products.

00:09:40.000 And not only do you have an increased demand, you have a decreased supply, and then prices go up that are correlated directly with that.

00:09:49.000 A civilization that best channels energy wins.

00:09:54.000 And a civilization that is able to maintain stored value can survive.

00:10:00.000 If you're able to maintain the victories, the wins, the profits of a certain generation and pass it down to future generations, you're going to survive.

00:10:08.000 This is why the Swiss banking system has survived since the Enlightenment.

00:10:14.000 This is why the Swiss banking system will be around for the foreseeable future, hundreds and hundreds of years.

00:10:21.000 They're able to store value for people.

00:10:22.000 They're good at it. 0.96

00:10:24.000 Also, what do the Swiss not do?

00:10:27.000 They don't go to war.

00:10:29.000 There's a reason for that.

00:10:31.000 War devalues your currency, expands the government.

00:10:36.000 Inflation is cheating and lying.

00:10:39.000 We're just getting started on that topic because we're living through that very same inflation cycle right now.

00:10:47.000 Big tech is monitoring, censoring, and mining and selling your online information.

00:11:46.000 The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency.

00:11:51.000 The second is war.

00:11:52.000 Both bring a temporary prosperity, but both bring a permanent ruin.

00:11:58.000 Both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

00:12:04.000 Ernest Hemingway.

00:12:06.000 We're living through a historic inflation cycle.

00:12:09.000 And just now the media is starting to recognize and realize it, and they all have their own separate spin on that.

00:12:14.000 To give you an idea of how severe what you're living through is the intentional debasing, the intentional destruction of your currency.

00:12:25.000 Some estimates show it as high as 60%, but it's somewhere between 40 to 60% of all dollar bills ever created has occurred in the last year and a half.

00:12:37.000 Half of all dollar bills have been reintroduced into the money supply in the last year and a half.

00:12:44.000 Now, some people say inflation is right around 7%.

00:12:47.000 We'll go through all the statistics.

00:12:50.000 The New York Times says inflation hits 7%, highest since 1982.

00:12:54.000 Supply chains lag.

00:12:55.000 We explained why supply chains are impacted by this.

00:12:59.000 Inflation is likely much higher than that because the government gets to pick the basket of products of how they measure inflation.

00:13:08.000 They get to bias themselves into that.

00:13:10.000 So if you're just measuring how much Netflix subscriptions have gone up, if you're measuring things that at least have some downward deflationary pressure on them, largely in technology, then you'll be able to get to a 7% number.

00:13:27.000 But if you look at meat and poultry, new vehicles, and household energy, three things that most American families need to survive, the average would be 11.9%.

00:13:40.000 11.9%.

00:13:43.000 Now, this happened not just because of Biden, we have to be honest.

00:13:50.000 There is a shocking 54%, according to the Wall Street Journal, increase in new spending since the virus and our response to it, our immature and inappropriate response to it in March in 2020.

00:14:04.000 54% of new federal spending, of introduction of new dollars, that there is no gold backing.

00:14:13.000 It is a fiat and floating currency.

00:14:18.000 Massive government programs, such as the war in Afghanistan, such as our social welfare programs, such as the Green New Deal, it requires a floating fiat currency.

00:14:35.000 So long gone are the days of gold backing our currency.

00:14:38.000 Now it's the full faith and credit of the United States.

00:14:42.000 Some people estimate the inflation rate to be anywhere to be 20 and 30% a year.

00:14:49.000 That might be high, might be spot on.

00:14:51.000 We really don't know.

00:14:52.000 What I do know is the 7% that the New York Times is reporting is likely low.

00:14:58.000 Cut 97, CNN is waking up to this, saying customers are getting crushed at the cash register.

00:15:04.000 Play Cut 97.

00:15:06.000 Today, the Labor Department reported that consumer prices were up 7% in December from a year earlier, the biggest one-year spike in prices in almost 40 years.

00:15:15.000 At the grocery store, chicken prices have gone up 10.4% in the past year, the biggest increase in more than 17 years.

00:15:23.000 Fish and other seafood, up 8.4%, the largest spike in over a decade.

00:15:29.000 And at the pumps, Americans paid a staggering amount by December, nearly 50% more for gas than they had a year earlier.

00:15:36.000 Now, why would gas, chicken, and seafood increase when you introduce more dollar bills?

00:15:41.000 What would possibly be the explanation of that?

00:15:44.000 Because by definition, there's only so much gas, chicken, and seafood out there.

00:15:48.000 Things that you can measure, things that you know there's only so much of, where there's a finite supply and you increase dollar bills, those things will necessarily increase in price almost overnight and not have a correlated increase in value.

00:16:06.000 One of the reasons we were able to predict this so easily is that we lost businesses during the lockdown.

00:16:14.000 So we lose hundreds of thousands of businesses, which means what?

00:16:18.000 You're losing productivity, you're losing value.

00:16:20.000 And then you increase the dollars, you increase the money supply.

00:16:24.000 So you have this inverted strategy where you're crushing production and you're increasing the purchasing, not purchasing power, but the purchasing ability of a citizenry by diluting the currency.

00:16:43.000 Inflation is cheating and lying to yourself.

00:16:46.000 We're going to go through some examples of inflation in world history.

00:16:51.000 We're going to talk about what this means for you and your family.

00:16:54.000 And then we're also going to talk about why the people in charge have facilitated this inflation cycle.

00:17:00.000 They're doing this for a reason.

00:17:02.000 This is not a mistake.

00:17:03.000 This is not as if they're denying it.

00:17:05.000 No, this is intentional.

00:17:07.000 They want to get something out of it.

00:17:12.000 I recently received a question from a listener.

00:17:14.000 She wanted to know if it was possible to avoid digestion problems by eating only healthy organic food.

00:17:19.000 It was a nice thought, but unfortunately, it's just not possible.

00:17:21.000 You see, your natural ability to digest food declines with age.

00:17:25.000 This is because your body produces fewer enzymes, which are proteins responsible for digesting food.

00:17:29.000 Fewer enzymes mean more difficulty digesting food.

00:17:32.000 Even organic foods won't provide enough enzymes to properly digest them.

00:17:36.000 This is especially true if you cook your food because cooking kills enzymes.

00:17:39.000 This is why you have digestion problems even after a healthy meal.

00:17:43.000 Your body just can't produce enough enzymes to get the job done.

00:17:45.000 That's why you need to supplement with a high-quality enzyme supplement that could be a huge help.

00:17:49.000 I personally recommend Mass Zymes by Buy Optimizers.

00:17:53.000 It is the best-in-class supplement loaded with full-spectrum enzymes for digesting protein, starches, sugars, fibers, and fats.

00:17:59.000 Taking Mass Zymes daily helps top off your enzyme levels and replace the enzymes your body is no longer producing.

00:18:05.000 Listen, life is too short to suffer from digestion problems.

00:18:08.000 If you want freedom from your food, go to MassZymes Risk-Free and experience the magic of high-quality enzymes.

00:18:14.000 For an exclusive offer, my listeners can go to masszymes.com slash Kirk, M-A-S-S-Z-Y-M-E-S.com slash Kirk.

00:18:22.000 Again, that's masszymes.com slash Kirk.

00:18:26.000 MassZymes.com/slash Kirk.

00:18:31.000 So I don't like doing this, but the team is forcing me to do this, which is, let's go back to Cut 91.

00:18:41.000 Early on, we were predicting that inflation was coming.

00:18:46.000 We do this just to show that this wasn't a surprise.

00:18:49.000 We weren't the only ones, but there weren't a lot, Andrew, right?

00:18:52.000 We were, I received one of the most condescending conversations I've ever participated in my life.

00:19:00.000 It was with a financier, a good man, and I looked at him in the eyes right when this aired, and I said, you know, inflation is coming big time.

00:19:10.000 He said, Charlie, you don't know what you're talking about.

00:19:12.000 I monitor all the industries.

00:19:13.000 There's no inflation.

00:19:15.000 This was not obvious to the rulers, is what I'm trying to say.

00:19:20.000 Some of them knew what they were doing, but this has taken people by surprise.

00:19:24.000 Not this show.

00:19:26.000 This is well over a year ago.

00:19:29.000 Two years ago, we said this.

00:19:30.000 This particular clip is from March of last year.

00:19:32.000 So about 10 months ago, PlayCut 91.

00:19:36.000 We are going to hit inflation.

00:19:37.000 The Democrats know this.

00:19:39.000 Why are Democrats doing this?

00:19:43.000 Many people email us.

00:19:44.000 They say, don't the Democrats know better?

00:19:46.000 Don't they know the laws of economics?

00:19:49.000 They know this is going to cause inflation.

00:19:51.000 They know this will not create a stimulus for the economy.

00:19:56.000 Inflation and taxes, according to Vladimir Lenin himself, is the best way to destroy a middle class and revolutionize an economy.

00:20:06.000 And so inflation is a very real threat because we're already living through an inflation cycle.

00:20:11.000 It was our show 10 months ago.

00:20:12.000 We said that even a year before that.

00:20:14.000 We've been about two years on the inflation kick, well before anyone in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal dared to even write about it.

00:20:22.000 It's too bad that our leaders don't actually see the obvious.

00:20:25.000 And again, it wasn't an unprecedented analysis. 0.99

00:20:29.000 I just happened to get my start in politics reading economics books and also not being an idiot. 0.93

00:20:35.000 When you shut down an economy, therefore you restrict production and you create dollar bills out of thin air to go spend on nonsense, that is the equation. 0.95

00:20:44.000 I mean, I couldn't write the equation any clearer.

00:20:49.000 Now, Joe Biden, though, says, said in July, Cut 102, he said, there's nobody suggesting that there's unchecked inflation on the way.

00:20:58.000 Well, we suggested it.

00:21:00.000 I don't think he listens to this show.

00:21:01.000 Cut 102.

00:21:05.000 There's nobody suggesting there's unchecked inflation on the way.

00:21:09.000 No serious economist.

00:21:12.000 Oh, not no serious economists.

00:21:13.000 Now, what is Biden saying there?

00:21:15.000 It's the experts, right?

00:21:17.000 Same experts that told you to mask your children.

00:21:21.000 Same experts that told you don't take ivermectin, azithromycin, or hydroxychloroquine seriously.

00:21:26.000 It's the same experts that have told you time and time again that we must lock down our economy.

00:21:35.000 Not really sure what the experts have been right about.

00:21:38.000 Debasing of a currency is nothing new.

00:21:41.000 Roman Emperor Diocletian famously was the Roman emperor who most aggressively devalued the Roman currency.

00:21:53.000 To pay for their excesses, emperors used to devalue their currency.

00:21:57.000 Nero reduced the silver content of coins to 95%.

00:22:02.000 Then it went down to 85%.

00:22:04.000 Eventually, less than 5% of the silver content of a Roman coin, content of a Roman coin was silver.

00:22:13.000 They continued to debase their currency to pay for their expansive welfare state, to pay for their sexual anarchy, to pay for their open borders, to pay for the outsourcing.

00:22:25.000 I could go piece by piece of the Roman Republic.

00:22:30.000 And I want you to just think about this as I go through this.

00:22:37.000 Rome devalued their currency.

00:22:41.000 They experienced widespread plagues.

00:22:44.000 They had a loss of a common language.

00:22:47.000 They had an increased welfare state.

00:22:51.000 Rome declared wars all across the world or what was known as the modern world.

00:22:59.000 They had massive problems with violent entertainment, slavery, and child sex trafficking.

00:23:08.000 Even the barbarians were known as being more loyal to their wives than Roman soldiers.

00:23:17.000 Rome had massive immorality, infidelity, and loss of virtue.

00:23:22.000 They had a massive withdrawal from the church's involvement in the public square.

00:23:28.000 Rome even participated in birth control and fewer children.

00:23:33.000 Roman families had a declining birth rate.

00:23:38.000 There are graves of bones that you could still visit in Italy and in Greece of infants that were sacrificed and left to die.

00:23:54.000 Romans sold unwanted children into slavery because they were no longer wanted.

00:23:58.000 There was class warfare that plagued Roman culture.

00:24:02.000 And then, of course, exploding debt and coinage debasement.

00:24:07.000 Not to mention the deep state establishment politicians, the betrayal of small R Republican values, overextended military and reckless wars, a loss of courage and patriotism, weakness which invited terrorist attacks from afar.

00:24:32.000 Now, the one we're focusing on today, though, is the debasing of the currency.

00:24:37.000 But I am going to say that a country that believes that men can give birth also believes that you can print wealth.

00:24:51.000 Both of those things are obviously untrue, but the Biden regime comes out and they put a guidance saying that people who give birth are birthing people, not mothers.

00:25:02.000 And they also come out and say that, yeah, we could just create another couple trillion dollars out of thin air.

00:25:07.000 Now, the Wall Street Journal has an article about this.

00:25:10.000 It's somewhat helpful, but I think they're wrong about something.

00:25:14.000 This is by Phil Graham and Mike Solon.

00:25:16.000 It's not a bad article, but they're wrong about something.

00:25:20.000 They say that the Democrats are in a state of denial.

00:25:24.000 Now, publicly they are.

00:25:25.000 That's true.

00:25:26.000 Publicly, you have people like Elizabeth Warren who are blaming big corporations, saying they're raising prices because they have to.

00:25:34.000 Let's play Cut 93.

00:25:35.000 This is the new soundbite of the Democrat Party when it comes to inflation.

00:25:39.000 Play Cut 93.

00:25:40.000 You know, market concentration has allowed giant corporations to hide behind claims of increased costs to fatten their profit margins.

00:25:49.000 So the consumer pays more both because the corporation face higher costs and because, as you put it, because the corporation can increase prices.

00:26:00.000 The reason I raise this is that higher prices have many causes, and we can't overlook the role that concentrated corporate power has played in creating the conditions for price gouging.

00:26:14.000 Now, she isn't wrong about part of that, believe it or not.

00:26:16.000 She's not wrong about the problem of concentrated corporate power in our country.

00:26:20.000 She certainly is wrong about her solution, which would be nothing but giving them more power.

00:26:24.000 However, you'd notice that she refuses to acknowledge soft and easy monetary or fiscal policies in playing into the corporation's need to raise prices. 0.91

00:26:36.000 And again, I'm no defender of corporate America.

00:26:38.000 I think they largely are unpatriotic, soul-sucking, quote-unquote, private enterprises.

00:26:45.000 However, for a grocery store, like a local grocery store in Scottsdale, you have the butcher apologizing to you, literally apologizing to you.

00:26:54.000 I went shopping the other day, got a couple fillets.

00:26:57.000 He's apologizing to you because it's so, he said, it's so outrageous.

00:27:01.000 He says, I feel bad.

00:27:04.000 He's obviously not the problem.

00:27:06.000 The owners of that local grocery store aren't the problem.

00:27:11.000 They increased it by $600.

00:27:13.000 Is that right, Connor?

00:27:14.000 Another $600 increase?

00:27:15.000 Yeah.

00:27:15.000 Connor just said that his rent just went up $600 in Phoenix and similar cases everywhere.

00:27:22.000 Our employees are getting crushed.

00:27:26.000 Year over year, $600 increase.

00:27:28.000 And that's only going to get higher, Connor, because you live in the hottest housing market in the country in Phoenix.

00:27:33.000 They can do that.

00:27:35.000 They want to do that.

00:27:36.000 They want to make it so that you can't buy a home.

00:27:39.000 They're doing a good job of that.

00:27:42.000 $600 a month or $600 a year?

00:27:47.000 $600 a month.

00:27:48.000 Wow.

00:27:49.000 Holy moly.

00:27:51.000 Why are they doing this?

00:27:54.000 Well, and I'm going to tell you why they want inflation, why they need inflation, because I think the Wall Street Journal is wrong about this.

00:28:00.000 They're not in a state of denial.

00:28:03.000 They are riding the trajectory of where inflation leads them.

00:28:07.000 Inflation leads them to their end point.

00:28:09.000 Inflation is a means to the end.

00:28:11.000 Inflation is intentional.

00:28:13.000 Inflation is a ship that they want to ride.

00:28:17.000 Inflation is a bridge for them.

00:28:21.000 I want you to think about what that bridge might be.

00:28:24.000 Where do they want to go and why inflation?

00:28:27.000 It's a point that most people on television commenting about this are missing.

00:28:33.000 Did you ever read the fine print that appears and you start browsing in incognito mode?

00:28:37.000 It says that your activity still might be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.

00:28:42.000 How can they even call it incognito?

00:28:44.000 To really stop people from seeing the things you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.

00:28:49.000 Think about all the times you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' house.

00:28:54.000 Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.

00:29:00.000 And that's still true even when you're in incognito mode.

00:29:03.000 What's more is your home internet provider can also see and record browsing data.

00:29:08.000 In the United States, they're legally allowed to sell that data to advertisers.

00:29:11.000 ExpressVPN is an application that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers.

00:29:18.000 Your private activity online stays just that, private.

00:29:20.000 ExpressVPN works on all your devices and it's super easy to use.

00:29:24.000 The app literally has one button.

00:29:26.000 You tap it to connect and your browsing activity is secure from prying eyes.

00:29:30.000 So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

00:29:47.000 Connor's example of his rent going up $600 a month, mid-20 something working class, is basically he gets the same product to service for $600 less.

00:30:00.000 So it's a $7,200 pay cut that he gets from the federal government.

00:30:05.000 That's inflation.

00:30:06.000 Same product, same service, $7,200 more.

00:30:10.000 On top of what he's already paying, that's the $600 increase.

00:30:13.000 That's not the whole base, if I'm understanding correctly.

00:30:17.000 Now, inflation does not impact rich people.

00:30:22.000 They benefit from it.

00:30:24.000 Rich people want inflation, actually.

00:30:25.000 They own hard assets.

00:30:26.000 They can move their money quickly.

00:30:28.000 They can invest in vehicles that outperform inflation.

00:30:34.000 This is exactly why you saw Bill Gates buy up as much farmland as possible.

00:30:38.000 This is exactly why you've seen the richest people put money into crypto assets.

00:30:44.000 They are able to benefit tremendously from inflation.

00:30:50.000 And for the adults that have had 30 or 40 years of prosperity, young people are getting a pretty raw deal right now.

00:30:59.000 Okay, so what is the bridge?

00:31:00.000 Where do they want to lead us?

00:31:01.000 Well, inflation is a great way to not just demoralize a country, but to enter it into an internationalist partnership.

00:31:13.000 If you were trying to usher in the great reset, which has always been their goal, where you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, where there will be one currency throughout the world, first you have to solve the problem like the dollar.

00:31:28.000 Kind of like that old song, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

00:31:31.000 How do you solve a problem like the US dollar?

00:31:34.000 You debase it.

00:31:36.000 You destroy it.

00:31:38.000 You lock everything down. 0.67

00:31:41.000 You open up the borders in conjunction with that, which creates civilizational chaos.

00:31:47.000 You print 50% of all the dollars that have ever been in existence, which creates currency chaos.

00:31:54.000 And then all of a sudden, you have a small group of people that basically control everything.

00:31:59.000 There's been a $5 trillion wealth transfer from working people to the richest people.

00:32:06.000 In order for the middle class to just stay the same, they had to work 20% harder the last year and a half to just tread water.

00:32:14.000 Where the wealthiest people just had to move assets from one column to the other in a couple clicks of a computer, buy the triple Q ETF, they bought it at 18.

00:32:29.000 It's now at 36, nearly doubling their investment.

00:32:34.000 Meanwhile, for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, police officers, firefighters, and teachers that don't have $100 million to go deploy after there was an artificially deflated market, they're looking around and their wages have not gone up even close to the correlation of inflation.

00:32:53.000 They have to work even harder just to remain the same.

00:32:58.000 That creates the conditions for a rather radical economic argument, I could say.

00:33:06.000 If this is not addressed, this is the other reason why they want it: inflation creates so much personal calamity.

00:33:14.000 It creates so much uncertainty for the individual human being that it makes it a lot easier to persuade them for massive government intervention, confiscation, and takeovers of industry.

00:33:28.000 Inflation is a means to the end.

00:33:34.000 Milton Friedman famously said inflation is taxation without representation.

00:33:38.000 That is true.

00:33:40.000 However, there's a deeper end game at play here.

00:33:44.000 They want the inflation.

00:33:47.000 They want you to struggle to pay your bills so that you get to a place where you demand a political lifeline.

00:33:55.000 Rahm Emanuel famously said, never let a crisis go to waste.

00:33:58.000 Well, they're in the crisis-creating industry.

00:34:02.000 Inflation is not a surprise.

00:34:04.000 It's not a shock.

00:34:05.000 It's not an unexpected development.

00:34:08.000 It's the next chapter.

00:34:11.000 Inflation is the script.

00:34:14.000 Inflation is the plan.

00:34:17.000 It's not about trying to persuade Joe Manchin to stop spending money.

00:34:22.000 It's not about any of that.

00:34:25.000 They want to deteriorate how value is transferred.

00:34:27.000 And a strong dollar is one of the few remaining obstacles to a great reset.

00:34:38.000 That Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum openly admit that they want one currency, one world, and no borders.

00:34:48.000 And inflation is the bridge that they're trying to create to get them there.
