On today's show, we have a special guest on the show, Steve Bannon. Steve is the former Goldman Sachs analyst and founder of The Ape's Place, a hedge fund that bet against GameStop (GOOGL) and lost $440M. We talk about the power of the Ape s and how they have taken on Wall Street. We also talk about a new report from the National Pulse showing that Google is actually providing funding to a Wuhan-linked virus research through EcoHealth Alliance.
00:00:00.000The game's stop apes have actually won a very serious battle.
00:00:23.000A hedge fund that bet against GameStop, which managed $440 million, announced it is shutting down amid double-digit losses, percentage-wise.
00:00:36.000This could be one of the- this may be one of the biggest stories, but there are a lot of really big stories.
00:00:41.000Because not just that, it's also a new report coming out from the National Pulse showing that Google was actually providing funding to Wuhan-linked virus research through EcoHealth Alliance, and then all the censorship kind of...
00:00:54.000Well, I don't want to necessarily say it absolutely makes sense, but it raises some eyebrows, you know?
00:00:59.000Like, Google wants to censor a lot of talk about LabLeak that was going on last year, taking down a lot of channels for misinformation, and now we find out that through their foundation, they're providing funding for similar and Wuhan-linked virus research.
00:01:14.000Well, that's gonna be dangerous, and maybe we'll get banned.
00:01:51.000It's one of the most important stories in the world, what I call, you know, the verticals of work of the populist movement.
00:01:57.000And it blew up a hedge fund today in London and more to come.
00:02:01.000More to come as they buy and hold and do not retreat.
00:02:05.000This group of basically deplorables or the little guy or the common man, whatever you want to say, is relentless and they're marching to the heart of the incompetence and corruption that is the Rigg Casino that is Wall Street.
00:02:20.000On the way up here, kind of, you know, getting ready for maybe some topics.
00:02:25.000Seeking Alpha, a great site, right out there, a great financial site with short stories, has a headline, AMC, time to sell, right?
00:02:34.000And so I read this and it's got this very fundamental analysis about the stocks overvalued, net present value, all this stuff, and it's all these reasons that this thing is going to collapse price-wise, and you get all the way down to the bottom.
00:02:45.000And the guy says, for full disclosure, the very bottom tiny print, full disclosure, I'm short.
00:03:01.000It's the sweet hour of prayer for all these smart guys.
00:03:04.000This is the power of, I think, the apes.
00:03:07.000You know, having gone to Harvard Business School and having worked at Goldman Sachs in the merger department, right, back then was the elite of the elite, is you see these people crowdsourcing and this is how modern technology has disintermediated institutions.
00:03:20.000The reason your show is so big, the reason we can do the War Room, you know, where we do it and we get traction.
00:04:42.000Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.
00:04:44.000Become a member, because I'll tell you this.
00:04:46.000There are a lot of things YouTube doesn't allow people to talk about.
00:04:49.000I mentioned this briefly in the intro.
00:04:51.000There's this new story showing that Google was actually providing funding for some of this Wuhan-linked virus research, which I think is...
00:04:58.000It's going to piss off a lot of people at Google, so here's what we have to do.
00:05:01.000We accept where we win, we accept where we can lose, and one of the opportunities here is we set up TimCast.com.
00:05:07.000The new website is launching in a couple of weeks.
00:05:09.000We have a new news section, we have Cassandra Fairbanks writing.
00:05:11.000We just hired another writer who's going to be doing unexplained culture-building stuff, mysteries kind of articles.
00:05:17.000And we're gonna have a bonus segment with Steve up around 11 p.m.
00:05:20.000After the show, we're gonna record another segment where we're gonna get into a lot of these subjects that we would be instantly banned on YouTube for talking about.
00:05:27.000I wish we could just come out and say all of it, but you choose your battles, and I think this is an opportunity to inform people those conversations will be happening.
00:05:33.000So go to TimCast.com, become a member.
00:05:35.000But don't forget, like this video right now, subscribe to this channel, and if you think these conversations are important, and if you think CNN is awful and we deserve more viewers than they do, share the podcast.
00:05:48.000And that's true for any video you like because there is more power in all of these individuals who are watching this show to share and spread the message than in any amount of marketing budget.
00:05:59.000These big marketing companies would beg and pray for the amount of power you could get from a viral movement or grassroots movement.
00:06:24.000CNET reports hedge fund that bet against GameStop is closing down.
00:06:28.000It's game over for White Square Capital.
00:06:31.000It managed $440 million in assets at its peak.
00:06:35.000It sent a letter to investors outlining plans to close down the main fund this month and return investor capital following a review of the business model, according to the report.
00:06:43.000They're announcing a double-digit percentage loss suffered by the first meme stock rally in January.
00:06:56.000You have a lot of these big hedge funds that they manipulate the game.
00:07:01.000It's a manipulated casino, it's a rigged game.
00:07:04.000They can short a company, then their friends in the media say, oh, this company's bad and it's gonna crash, you better sell now, causing the stock price to plummet, and then the short sellers make off like bandits, stripping and manipulating all of us.
00:07:16.000So what happens is, these meme stock apes are like, So these people have no choice but to buy stocks, you know, to cover their shorts?
00:07:38.000Remember, the deplorables are the common man's on both sides of the trade.
00:07:42.000You have the ape army that is just a collection of several million of people throwing in money and buying and holding these traditional companies, okay?
00:07:50.000And the stock price goes up because they refuse to sell.
00:07:52.000The shorts that are the naked shorts, all that money they're managing is essentially pension fund money.
00:07:58.000And what they're doing is they're using and they're doing this naked shorts and using leverage to really not just destroy the companies, but to speculate.
00:08:06.000This is this is this is not hedging is a natural part of Wall Street to hedge certain long positions.
00:08:21.000Last summer, Steve Cortez, who's the great guy over Newsmax and a trader for 30 years, He saw these meme stocks and last year, and he does thousands of trades a year, he tried to buy GameStop, right?
00:08:34.000Not margin, but in an online account he had cash money in.
00:08:38.000First time in 30 years on Wall Street he couldn't buy the stock.
00:08:41.000They were protecting the hedge funds against the stock going up.
00:08:46.000So you couldn't, and this is a big controversy, Robin, you couldn't execute the buy.
00:08:50.000Which is, on Wall Street, sometimes you can't sell because of restrictions, but hey, anybody, you want a stock, boom, you got cash, not leverage, boom, you can buy it.
00:08:59.000This is how the casino is rigged, and this is why this transcends politics.
00:09:05.000Because here you have this ape army of just everyday Americans, and they're teaching each other.
00:09:28.000And I'm telling you, Charlie Gasparino and all the Wall Street press, The Wall Street Journal, Seeking Alpha has the guy in the short position who's sweating bullets who writes the article.
00:09:39.000They are trying to force these guys to sell for every host of reason to save a Citadel capital in the big highly leveraged funds and this is why it's one of the most it's applied populism.
00:09:52.000This is people doing and I'm not telling the audience to go buy the stock what I definitely would do.
00:09:57.000Is seek out this community and find out more about it.
00:10:00.000You will learn more about practical finance.
00:10:03.000If you don't know anything about the stock market, if you don't know anything about economics, you don't know anything about finance.
00:10:07.000I think these people will teach you and they will teach you what the reality is.
00:10:11.000And this is still and you come from the Occupy movement.
00:10:14.000I mean, this is the this is the problem we've had since the crash.
00:10:17.000The problem we've had since the crash in 2008 is that the 1% has gotten—it's insane, because Obama is the most progressive president in history.
00:10:26.000The solution at the time was to basically blow up the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, increase assets, and let all people own stocks and real estate.
00:10:34.000They went from $880 billion in the Fed's balance sheet to $4.5 trillion.
00:10:39.000That money was infused in the system to save the system.
00:11:27.000You mentioned the Seeking Alpha article.
00:11:28.000I pulled it up where it says, an open letter to the apes, the stock market in reality.
00:11:34.000The original title was, emotion may tell you to buy, reason will tell you to sell.
00:11:41.000Then once you get all the way to the bottom, as Steve mentioned, I scrolled all the way to the bottom, and he says, disclosure, I am, we are, short, AMC.
00:11:48.000I wrote this article myself and has expressed my own opinions.
00:11:51.000I'm not receiving compensation for it other than seeking alpha.
00:11:53.000I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
00:11:57.000Additional disclosure, I have sold AMC calls.
00:12:00.000I also own MGIC, MTG stock, I briefly mentioned.
00:12:17.000So this is how the media Tries to rip off Little Guy.
00:12:22.000These people, they come in, they short a stock, and then once, you know, the apes come back and they start saying, hey, we're gonna fight back, you see all these articles come out saying, it's bad, it's a bad idea, don't buy, don't do it.
00:12:33.000CNBC doesn't even say the word naked shorts.
00:12:35.000But let me tell you something else, you mentioned BlackRock.
00:12:37.000Have you seen how many articles there are right now saying millennials don't buy a house?
00:12:41.000Or how many articles say a recent poll says millennials hate owning homes?
00:12:46.000This is the great reset and build back better.
00:12:49.000The Party of Davos, if you go to Davos, the World Economic Forum, that commercial, it starts up by, we don't need to own anything and we're going to be happier, right?
00:12:57.000You will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:12:59.000You will own nothing and you will be happier.
00:13:01.000And then all of a sudden, and here's the thing, You're paying for it.
00:13:05.000I want to go back to the great Alex Jones.
00:13:09.000What this is, there's three types of warfare, as the Chinese teaches, and unrestricted warfare.
00:13:13.000There's information warfare, which includes cyber, but propaganda.
00:13:18.000There's economic warfare, and there's kinetic warfare, guns, bombs, everything like that.
00:13:24.000And Sun Tzu teaches you, hey, I want to defeat them before we get to kinetic, foreign devils.
00:13:29.000What I want to do is information and economic warfare.
00:13:32.000There is information in economic warfare against the working class and middle class in the world today, okay?
00:13:39.000And this is why this Ape Army is bringing it.
00:13:42.000That article is sophisticated information warfare.
00:13:45.000Psychologically, it's very persuasive.
00:13:47.000Both from an emotional point of view, and then at the end, the reason point of view, you actually think your father, your, your smart uncle is actually sitting there going, take the profits, sell the stock, sell the stock because the hedge funds are jammed.
00:13:59.000And then at the bottom, full disclosure.
00:14:43.000This is all the super wealthy we've created.
00:14:46.000What the revolution in 1776 was against was a landed aristocracy in the United Kingdom, in England.
00:14:53.000We have created a global aristocracy that's purpose in life is to make sure the little guy never gets off the mat and they will use any type of information, economic warfare to do that.
00:15:04.000I want to go back to something you mentioned.
00:15:06.000You mentioned that I came from Occupy and that's populist left, and that's true, but the people that I know that I met during Occupy are authoritarian establishment left now.
00:15:19.000They're no longer populist libertarian left.
00:15:21.000They're absolutely toe the line for the FBI, support the feds, support the war.
00:16:08.000And I said, incredible to see you finally recognizing what was wrong with your radicalism and supporting the FBI and the federal government.
00:16:16.000The people, of course, you were protesting quite literally for five years.
00:17:05.000Think back to the 60s and 70s, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the great investigative reporting against the corruption in the CIA, what was happening in the CIA and the FBI that led to the Church Commission.
00:17:17.000All the checks and balances we kind of had in Congress, the special committees and the ability to have the gang of eight and review all this, this all came from essentially liberal or left, center-left or liberal, the bastions of liberal media in the 60s and 70s that led to these investigations that should have been done and had to be done.
00:17:36.000Those places today, the New York Times and the Washington Post, are the vanguard of protection of a national security apparatus.
00:18:45.000I think it's populist versus elitist and nationalist versus globalist.
00:18:48.000The nation-state is still the best way to have your, not just your values, but to have your basic rights.
00:18:56.000But how about the religious framework as well, right?
00:18:59.000So if you look at the woke, which is a very large component of the establishment, Their moral framework is fascistic.
00:19:06.000They believe there is no objective truth, there is only power.
00:19:09.000It was the late David Graeber, who was one of the key organizers of Occupy Wall Street, who actually said this.
00:19:16.000He tweeted out, big element of the left today is this fascistic belief that there is no truth but power.
00:19:21.000And so you look at the Judeo-Christian moral framework, which is far from perfect, but there's a lot of aspects of it like Blackstone's formulation, rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, I bring this up, I don't want to riff too much on this, but I think, you know, we try to figure out what left and right means, and it's hard to know for sure, but I do think the biggest aspect might just be, will you be honest and fair with someone, and their rights to individualism, or do you think those in power should wield it against anyone who would oppose them?
00:19:51.000Well, I think that's what the globalists are.
00:19:52.000I think the globalists are totally materialistic and that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and they feel they have absolute power.
00:20:00.000I think everything on the cultural side are just things, a lot of things are just thrown out there.
00:20:04.000I'm still an economic and financial power.
00:20:06.000People that have that power actually control things.
00:20:10.000Right, and they're trying to do other, I think one of the things, you saw what Mao did and the Bolsheviks did to try to break the traditional family.
00:20:17.000The key is to break the family, right?
00:20:19.000You see that here with a lot, what happened here, I think with what I call cultural Marxism, is still to have these struggle sessions to try to break the nuclear family and to break that.
00:20:28.000Just like Mao, that was the whole thing of the Cultural Revolution, was to break that.
00:21:12.000The Fourth Turning, which is, I believe it's Strassow Generational Theory, which essentially is predicting that we are about to enter, we are entering a period of strife, the winter season, which could mean a very serious... Oh, we're in it.
00:21:49.000So, I wonder, is it this internal conflict in the United States between the establishment powers, which does absolutely extend to international interests for sure, but you've got the culture war here.
00:21:59.000And then you also have the conflict with China, which is on the horizon.
00:22:03.000Taiwan, they just flew 28 warplanes, the most ever, into the Taiwanese defense zone in the air.
00:22:23.000This is a very dense book, but it is worth struggling with and working yourself through.
00:22:27.000It's a real thing to read books today and not just stuff online.
00:22:29.000So get that Strauss and how it's very.
00:22:33.000I soon as I heard about it and got it and it's been very helpful for me as a framework.
00:22:38.000It's not perfect like any theory is but it talks about different generations and every generation kind of raises the other differently.
00:22:45.000But if you look back in American history from the Revolution to the Civil War to the Great Depression World War II to today.
00:22:50.000It has a certain pattern to it, and one of the things that people, particularly in the news business, those people I see that are always ahead of the curve understand pattern recognition.
00:23:03.000No, I think today, I think we're hurtling towards a couple of crises.
00:23:07.000One is obviously a global financial crisis that I think could make everything else before us look like, you know, child's play.
00:23:15.000The other, there's a massive geopolitical crisis.
00:23:17.000Remember, you go back to classic geopolitics, Mackinder, right now on the Eurasian landmass, which American foreign policy since 1914 is to make sure that no power or combinations of power control the Eurasian landmass.
00:23:30.000Because the World Island, which the Western Hemisphere is kind of an island off of the World Island, the World Island, the pivot of that Central Asia and those spots, Control the world.
00:23:39.000Now you have China with its partners, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, and Russia, right?
00:23:45.000And we kind of forced Russia over that.
00:23:46.000We had every opportunity to break it off.
00:23:48.000They are now working almost in concert, right?
00:23:51.000Almost with one belt, one road also, but everything is focused around getting off the U.S.
00:23:57.000dollar as the prime reserve currency and the SWIFT system as the system that ties it together.
00:24:01.000They're looking to work in concert and in their controlling the Eurasian landmass will lead us to a kinetic war in the South China Sea or on the border of India or somewhere along those fissure points unless we are wise enough and smart enough to start acting like a great power along with our allies, and as long as we continue to act like children, and our leadership act like children, and to allow the Chinese Communist Party and the Party of Davos to infiltrate every aspect of capital markets, Wall Street, our global corporations, all of it, you know, information warfare and economic warfare, who have every ability to take this thing down and to do it in 90 days.
00:24:40.000Yet, the elites in our country refuse to do it, and it's the little guy.
00:24:45.000It's the little guy that's going to go over there.
00:24:48.000It's the little guy's kids are going to go over there.
00:24:50.000They're the ones going to be buried in foreign battlefields.
00:24:53.000Their taxes are the ones that are going to pay for it.
00:24:55.000They're going to have the financial strife.
00:24:56.000And that's why it's time for populist left and populist right that are populist and nationalist, to me, to transcend politics, see where we agree, put this together, realign the politics in this country, and we can control the country for a hundred years.
00:25:10.000So I'm curious because we had the American Revolution, which is an international conflict, essentially.
00:25:42.000Remember, Lincoln, in his term, built the Transcontinental Railroad, right?
00:25:47.000Passed the Homestead Act, which allowed free land, and set up the land-grant universities, which allowed the common man's kids to actually go and get an agriculture and technical thing.
00:25:57.000They had a nationalist perspective, and the southern plantation aristocracy were part of a globalized system with the United Kingdom, That they're even thinking of going to Brazil and South America and start a slave empire down there that would be part of a global empire, essentially tied back to the British if they could get around the thing of, hey, we're going to have slaves drive this, just like the slaves in China.
00:26:19.000Remember, the slave labor of China drives the entire system today.
00:27:01.000You've got President Biden, which many people are concerned he's not up to actually defending Taiwan or being commander-in-chief at a time of serious war.
00:27:24.000So, uh, you mentioned that people who have been successful have been good at pattern recognition.
00:27:28.000And so, uh, a lot of my success came from my ability to be at the right place at the right time during the Occupy era, during the Vice, when I was for Vice.
00:27:36.000I would be like, here's the place we need to be.
00:27:38.000I'd fly there and then, boom, news would explode and I'd happen to be there and be able to film it.
00:27:42.000And that's why I got accused of being a fed half the time, because they were like, how does Tim know to be in these places for these big stories?
00:27:46.000It's like, no, I just recognized all the news that was bubbling up and I went and checked it out.
00:27:50.000For the past several years, I've been, I would say, bullish on some kind of civil war.
00:27:55.000Be it the culture war culminating to a very serious economic crisis, it's been called a cold civil war, or even a hot crisis between political factions.
00:28:03.000I think a lot of people, like Bill Maher for instance, he said you couldn't have this because the Mason-Dixon line would go through, you know, grandma's kitchen.
00:28:10.000But that's because he has no understanding of civil wars internationally.
00:28:13.000He's fixed on some American idea where states fought states, and not, say, Spain, where you had regions that just diverted into, you know, were dominated by certain ideologies.
00:28:22.000So, I've had a lot of people tell me I'm wrong every step of the way, from the start of the street battles, from even Occupy Walsh that I experienced, into the battle for Berkeley, where you had Antifa, Proud Boys, and it got particularly bad where we're still seeing some of these battles.
00:28:35.000I don't know if it'll escalate beyond that.
00:28:37.000But the culture war, the ideological rift, the wokeness, the anti-woke, is at the highest point of government.
00:29:18.000I bring all this up just to see what your thoughts are on the potential for civil war, if that's going to be our fourth turning or if it's going to be an international conflict.
00:30:05.000The people in this country are now awakening to the fact of what the economic reality is and how they've been, particularly Republicans.
00:30:11.000Remember, all these woke corporations and the social media corporations that are shutting down Republicans across the board.
00:30:18.000The last 30 or 40 years of Republican orthodoxy has been give them deregulation, give them tax cuts.
00:30:24.000The reason I fought the tax cuts, President Trump and his tax cuts worked out very well, but certain aspects of it, I wanted to tax the wealthy.
00:30:30.000I wanted to increase the tax rate to 44%.
00:30:32.000Number one, I made the startling thing, they don't pay taxes anyway.
00:30:35.000And last week we saw, you know, Merrick Garland, just remember, Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland says my number one priority is to get the leaks of the 25 billionaires that were put out there.
00:30:48.000And by the way, Mitch McConnell comes out and says it's my number one priority too.
00:31:05.00025 billionaires that have control of I don't know 500 billion dollars in assets at least that are reported right half a trillion dollars 25 over the last five years have paid a combination less than 15 billion dollars in taxes that's what I said raise the upper rate because they don't pay taxes now and they can avoid eventually which is going to be the tax on the assets because that's going to come somebody's got to pay for this if we're going to have this level of spending you got three ways to pay for it either sell the bonds to Japan and China Right?
00:31:34.000You either raise taxes, or you print money.
00:31:38.000There's one way you could grow out of it, but we're stuck in a low-growth environment because we've so overspent.
00:31:46.000Obama, because of what he did to the Federal Reserve and the zero interest rate, we had $10 trillion on Obama's watch.
00:31:52.000And we've added another, I think, 8 trillion, or 4 trillion, 2 or 3 trillion Trumps, and now we've just exploded under Biden, and it's nowhere, it's not stopping.
00:32:00.000They've got this modern monetary theory, there's this new theory about it, but hey, that's why everybody's running to crypto, right?
00:32:07.000That's why everybody's running back to gold and silver.
00:32:55.000There's 2.1 trillion dollars of dollars in the world trading every day, right?
00:32:59.000Using- because you have to convert to dollars to do all trans- there's 2.1 trillion dollars out there, okay?
00:33:04.000Every day, doing transactions all over the world.
00:33:06.000I think there's now 2.2 trillion dollars of crypto.
00:33:09.000So there are scams in it, but it's clearly an alternative that- and it's definitely a alternative store value. It may not feel like that to
00:33:18.000Bitcoin holders today when you're down at $30,000, but for guys that bought it at $5,000 it is, and it's still
00:33:25.000an alternative when you look at these other cryptocurrencies. You've got to take your trade. But
00:33:29.000the central apparatus wants to take that option away from you. Again, central authority messing
00:33:33.000things up. This is not financial advice.
00:33:36.000I'm just saying, if an individual put a portion of their paycheck into Bitcoin every week like it
00:33:43.000was a savings account, they would not be upset today.
00:33:54.000Imagine if you told someone in November when it was at $13,000 that it was going to crash to $30,000 and people would panic.
00:33:59.000They would laugh and be like, oh, buy some right now.
00:34:04.000To me, it's almost like a savings account.
00:34:07.000does the system when when you're educated they teach everything these public schools etc even the catholic schools christian schools but the particularly public schools and in college you never learn anything about basic finance thank you no you never do they want you to be illiterate of you have to get in the world think of your life in your early 20s or 30s when you're on your own your everything's about hey i gotta make i gotta pay the credit card i gotta pay rent you're thrown into the world with no they want you to be financially illiterate the power of the ape army And what people are doing, I'm not saying buy meme stocks and I'm not saying buy crypto.
00:35:02.000You just said tax the rich, I believe.
00:35:05.000But I thought you were far right and believed in deregulation and the billionaires.
00:35:09.000At least that's what the media tells everybody, right?
00:35:12.000You've come out multiple times saying these people are getting away with not paying anything and you're getting ripped off.
00:35:17.000The Wall Street Journal dumped out in the summer of 17, I wanted to raise, to President Trump, I said we should raise tax on the wealthy to 44%.
00:35:25.000And on the corporations, as they bring this cash back from overseas, right?
00:35:29.000It ought to be tax less if it's put in capital equipment and plant, because we must rebuild the manufacturing base of this country for the American people.
00:35:40.000Louis or Baltimore inner cities, you get a bigger tax cut.
00:35:43.000Every piece of capital in this country that goes into the manufacturing of putting the capital equipment to build fourth industrial manufacturing jobs is going to increase the ability of the working class family.
00:35:55.000We want the ability, and I'm not saying women have to do this, but we want the ability to get back to the 50s where one wage earner can have a family, a wife and children or a husband and children And they don't have to work unless they want to work.
00:36:11.000It's no second law of thermodynamics that says we have to have this free trade, that we send our factories all over the world, that we basically put all the burden on the little guy, the American citizen, for all the wars, all the taxes, Everything's put on his shoulders, his or her shoulders.
00:36:32.000You should have a special deal if you're an American citizen, right?
00:36:35.000And that deal deals with, let's have a tax policy that rewards labor and work, not just simply capital, because right now it's out of balance.
00:36:47.000I'm not some left-wing socialist, but I gotta tell you, and I say this all the time, unless we reform capitalism, this thing's going away, and it's going away fast.
00:36:55.000Interesting, the money you held got higher tax rates, but the money you make has a lower tax rate until you hold it for like a set amount of time, and then it's the tax rate starts to go up the longer you hold it.
00:37:04.000Well, it sounds like negative interest rates.
00:37:07.000But here's the thing, is that the wealthy, they have, if you go back and look at the 24 people that are the wealthiest in the nation, The taxes of Bloomberg and Buffett is like 0.11, because they have all these tax accountants looking for every deal in the world that the system gives them.
00:37:24.000They're supposedly for investment, but the system gives them to avoid taxes.
00:37:32.000Taxing them just puts the money into the government, and it's like the government is free from corruption.
00:37:37.000Well, first of all, it doesn't totally put the money.
00:37:39.000First off, if we're going to have a government that provides these services and has a $1 trillion, and that's why we have a $1 trillion defense budget, because you add up all the intelligence and add in all the areas where they put it into other departments, it's $1 trillion a year.
00:37:52.000If we're going to continue to spend like this, Somehow it's got to be paid for.
00:37:56.000I'm all for cutting it, but still the wealthy, because of their benefits.
00:39:48.000It's amazing to hear, you know, the things you're saying about the working class, about taxing the rich, because I wonder why it is that we don't see more of the populist left agreeing, finding out where they agree and what they can target to change, and changing it.
00:40:11.000The reason Trump won is that the American working men and women and certain middle class people rejected the managed decline of our country by an elite of both parties.
00:40:22.000It's Wall Street, it's the global corporations, it's the Uniparty.
00:40:50.000But the fight of the candidates itself was not there to take on the neoliberal neocons of which the Clinton apparatus was in the central apparatus of the Republican Party.
00:40:59.000One of the problems I see now, you know, I mentioned this earlier on in the show, friends of mine from Occupy Wall Street, now supporting the federal government, the FBI, the establishment, they've abandoned the populist left, and it's just basically tribalism.
00:41:13.000If it's bad for the right, they'll cheer for it.
00:41:15.000They're not interested in improving things.
00:41:17.000I wonder if a big aspect of it is they're young and inexperienced, and their whole world is just, my side is the right side, and we better win by any means necessary.
00:41:25.000Or if it's just authoritarians who have manipulated people, seized power, and While there certainly were populists at Occupy Wall Street, many of which I found out later switched and voted for Trump.
00:41:35.000You got Jack Murphy's book, Democrats are Deplorable.
00:41:37.000A lot of these younger people who are in their early 20s just support the establishment and will vote for whatever the establishment wants.
00:41:43.000I'm thinking about the liberal economic order.
00:41:44.000They built it after World War II to prevent World War III.
00:41:46.000The British and the Americans were like, we're going to set up military bases all over the world.
00:41:49.000And they basically did prevent World War III.
00:41:52.000Although you could say now maybe the system's vestigial and it's ready to be changed or ripped down or maybe the whole world could create a world police or something.
00:41:58.000But people see the value of this fascistic militarism that's prevented World War III.
00:42:04.000And so there is a kind of a dissonance like, how do we transition away from this?
00:42:28.000And remember, in 1989, within a few months of the Berlin Wall coming down, you had Tiananmen Square.
00:42:34.000In Tiananmen Square, we had a moment in time When the elites in the United States, having Reagan's, we win, they lose, having the collapse of the Soviet Union, we could have taken down the whole thing.
00:42:48.000And 30 days after we propped them up, General Scowcroft went over from Bush 43, or Bush 41, Went over there and basically made a deal with the CCP that we're going to support you, because they saw the ability of the Chinese model.
00:43:03.000They always thought they could change China to Democrats, but they really bought into the economic model where China would be the central apparatus of manufacturing.
00:43:13.000And you can—this whole system is predicated upon that.
00:43:16.000labor in China Lao Bajing old hundred names would be slave labor and that
00:43:20.000would support this international system that's not a conspiracy them's facts okay
00:43:25.000and you can this whole system is predicated upon that we had we actually
00:43:30.000won World War three by information and kinetic warfare and we gave it away
00:43:34.000And that's why all the guys who said the end of history and all this nonsense forgot the fact that we then went to this kind of globalization, predicated around the slave labor of China, that exported deflation and inability to raise prices, but particularly inability to raise wages, because you've always got excess capacity by the state-owned industries of China, and that's why working people throughout the world have suffered.
00:43:56.000In the United States, the central economic point, we haven't had an increase, real wages, have not changed except for 19 when Trump had it since 1972 or 73.
00:44:06.000Working class, look around anywhere in this country it's clearly not as good as it was back 30 and 40 years ago because you've had a huge deterioration of working class people ability to have high value-added, high-paying manufacturing jobs.
00:44:22.000During Trump's administration, in 2019 particularly, the economy was great.
00:44:28.000Jim Cramer said the best numbers of our lives.
00:44:30.000There was something I found pretty hilarious.
00:44:32.000The left has advocated for a bunch of things like a four-day work week, or less hours per day, or more vacation time, paternal leave, maternal otherwise.
00:44:44.000And they want this through regulation.
00:44:46.000The government should snap their fingers, write it down, boom, make it happen.
00:44:49.000Under Trump, without regulation, it started to happen.
00:45:02.000When we were buying furniture for the first studio setup for this show, I went to a furniture store and the lady told me she had never made as much money in her life as she did in 2019.
00:45:13.000And I heard the same thing from the contractor who was doing work on the house to help us build this.
00:45:17.000He's like, this best year of my life last year.
00:45:20.000So all of these things came about through economic policy under Trump.
00:45:23.000But I'm wondering, some people have argued it was Trump just spending like crazy, which was creating an artificial bump in the system that made everyone feel good, but wasn't actually fixing things.
00:45:34.000Curious what your thoughts were with that.
00:45:35.000Look, there's a Keynesian aspect to that.
00:45:38.000You know, you had spending and you had tax cuts at the same time, so double whammy, but you also had restrictions on immigration, right?
00:45:44.000Which is a big thing for working class people, particularly non-skilled labor.
00:45:49.000Remember, it's the Chamber of Commerce and it's the Republicans that want all that.
00:45:52.000The Democrats want the votes and the Republicans want the cheap labor, okay?
00:45:56.000But also, at the higher end, I'm a restrictionist.
00:45:59.000And I also am the leader of the of one of the leaders of the freedom movement, the Chinese people, and I'm the chairman of the of the Republican Hindu coalition.
00:46:12.000And the reason is we need American citizens.
00:46:15.000To get high-tech high if you turn the entire education system over to STEM in grade school, right?
00:46:22.000You need to be able to have African-American and Latino and Hispanic people get into the engineering schools and get jobs in Silicon Valley and get jobs in the fourth industrial revolution manufacturing jobs.
00:46:33.000This whole thing we're going to be a service economy is a joke.
00:46:36.000One of the biggest things coming out of here now you see is what's 9 million jobs and they can't fill them from the service economy.
00:46:41.000One-third of the jobs last for the Biden thing, the disastrous job numbers were bartenders and waiters.
00:46:47.000I used to be a bartender in college, but people don't see it as a career.
00:46:51.000One of the good things, you see people hesitant to come back.
00:46:53.000One of the reasons is, hey, I don't know if I just want to go back to that grind that has no future to it.
00:47:00.000That hopefully is the entrepreneur spirit.
00:47:01.000People want to start businesses, but it's also we must return to become a manufacturing superpower.
00:47:08.000Anybody that sells you, Any corporation, any advertisement, any politician that sells you that we can be a service economy is lying to you.
00:47:52.000But this ability, and this is my problem with the libertarians, they see the free flow of capital and the free flow of labor and open borders and open capital markets.
00:48:33.000If people don't get skin in the game, and I mean real ownership, so they can sit there and go, this is mine, I can pass it on to my kids, you're gonna have a system that's going to collapse.
00:48:43.000You should have been on day one in New York at Occupy Wall Street.
00:48:49.000See, what happened was, in the early few days, a lot of what you're saying was what was being said.
00:48:54.000I met an elderly couple, they must have been in their 60s, with a big ol' American flag, talking about how we got screwed over by the elites, how the big banks were ripping us off, how we were footing the bill, and there were a lot of people there.
00:49:04.000But there was no sustained leadership.
00:49:06.000What happened was, these kind of people are old, they have work to do, so they eventually go home.
00:49:11.000But the trust fund college kids, with nothing but time on their hands, and driven by woke ideology, They would come down and they would organize the meetings every single day.
00:49:23.000And over time, this weeded out a lot of the conversations, a lot of things that you were saying.
00:49:28.000I feel like, and maybe it's just a wishful thinking, that if you or someone like you were there on day one, someone who was gonna actually say the things you're saying and maintain that as the conversation, then the woke takeover of Occupy never would have happened.
00:49:43.000And that would have very much changed the trajectory of the past 10 years.
00:49:47.000When I was at Occupy, in the first week, I met Luke Radkowski.
00:49:58.000We have him on the show every so often.
00:50:00.000He's up at Porkfest, the Free State Project in Hampshire.
00:50:02.000I met him down there, and he's right libertarian, and I was left libertarian, but it was very much like the elites are screwing us, the system, and all that stuff.
00:50:11.000I remember I was having a conversation with some people one day and they announced they were implementing progressive stack.
00:50:17.000That meant if you want to speak at any of these meetings and you were white, you're out.
00:51:25.000Yeah, these people came in during Occupy.
00:51:29.000And because they were young, exuberant, and had nothing better to do, easily took it over.
00:51:34.000And it's a bummer because there were a lot of people, I see a lot of people from Occupy who went to become Trump supporters, Trump voters.
00:51:40.000A lot of people sort of supported Bernie, then went to support Trump.
00:51:43.000And a lot of those people are still in the same place as, not necessarily left, not really right, but just for the people, populist, support manufacturing, support the working class.
00:51:54.000And we're being torn apart by a culture war.
00:51:55.000We're being torn apart by ideology, this whole thing about critical race theory.
00:52:00.000And because of that, it's fascinating.
00:52:01.000I'll see people on the left who completely agree with everything you said about increasing taxes on the wealthy and helping the working class, but then they'll come out and defend critical race theory, something that we, for instance, Absolutely oppose.
00:52:13.000I oppose because I come from a second generation mixed race in my family.
00:52:18.000And that ideology, identitarianism, would rip apart our family the way we live.
00:52:42.000I think enough can agree on the basic economics that we can transcend this and actually can take, I think you're going to see a realignment.
00:52:49.000The key is, like, look at the Rio Grande Valley.
00:52:51.000Look at these, look at, look, these are hard, that's the most hardscrabble part of this country.
00:52:56.000It is 85% Hispanic, working class Hispanic, very culturally conservative, but more importantly, they understand that open borders is crushing them.
00:53:04.000These are people that understand I'm an American citizen.
00:53:07.000I deserve a deal that protects me and gives me a shot at a good-paying job, eventually, if I work hard.
00:53:28.000And he didn't have a great job because all the manufacturing jobs shipped overseas.
00:53:32.000Think of what George Floyd's life would have been.
00:53:34.000If we'd had a manufacturing base, he would be a supervisor or a foreman at a factory or a junior management.
00:53:41.000He'd be closing up, opening up his summer home to go fishing up in the Lake Country of Minnesota with his second home up there, a little cabin he could share.
00:53:50.000If he didn't have the opioids that shipped in by the Chinese Communist Party through the cartels in Mexico across open borders, Everybody making money on the way up, and the huge profits on that to poison him, to poison him, and no opportunity for a job.
00:54:05.000And to top it all off, the Chinese Communist Party virus that the elites and the scientific priesthood has basically helped fund and helped do, he had the CCP COVID-19 virus in him, he had the virus in him, He had fentanyl in him, he didn't have access to a great job, because all the great manufacturing jobs are shipped off.
00:54:22.000That's the Greek tragedy, to me, of George Floyd, is that he was in that position that day.
00:54:28.000And by the way, let's talk about the fake 20.
00:54:30.000That's also the CCP, and we know that these foreign entities are putting out this fake money all the time with the opioids to do it.
00:54:36.000That was what the counterfeit bill was.
00:54:38.000Every aspect of his life driven by geopolitics that led to that.
00:54:44.000I think lab leak theory makes the most sense.
00:54:47.000We don't have any hard confirmation, but you saw Jon Stewart's rant for the longest time, you know, all last year.
00:54:55.000It was, you'd get banned if you brought it up.
00:54:57.000Now, all of a sudden, the mainstream media is saying it.
00:54:59.000Even Fauci himself is saying he's not convinced the virus is naturally occurring.
00:55:03.000You had the emails that came out from Fauci himself, from Fauci's own email account, where you can see some scientists saying they believe it was engineered.
00:55:10.000Christian Anderson at Scripps on January 31st, yeah, pretty early in the process.
00:56:41.000However we get there, we do not yet have hard confirmation that it is true that it was Here's what we have hard confirmation of.
00:56:51.000We have hard confirmation that there is no evidence, zero evidence, that it came from a cave in the Laotian border.
00:56:59.000It traveled, if you've ever been to China, it traveled 1,000 miles from basically southern China, Laotian border, to a wet market, right?
00:57:09.000And with the thousands and tens of thousands of villages through there, we don't have one farmer or one animal or one sickness.
00:57:16.000We have nothing until it gets to Wuhan.
00:57:19.000And there they said it was in a wet market, but they took the wet market and got all the evidence out of there, so they won.
00:57:24.000So what we do have for evidence is there's nothing on, there's no counter-theory to this.
00:57:29.000So let me add, we have this from Nature.com, a NewsGuard certified source, as you can see here, 100 out of 100 animal sales from Wuhan Met Markets immediately prior to the COVID pandemic, and they note in this study, no bats and no pangolins were sold.
00:58:33.000She was at the oversight lab in Hong Kong as one of the senior lab scientists.
00:58:40.000Because she was in the mainland, she was ordered by the lab, and she has it on WeChat, to make contact with Beijing CDC on the 31st of December of 2019 about a SARS breakout in Wuhan, China.
00:58:54.000And she's got the text of what they were told her at the time.
00:58:57.000Do you remember the research paper that came out from, I think it was the South China University?
00:59:03.000Where the author said that some of the researchers were peed on by bats or bitten by them.
00:59:10.000Now what's funny is that story was retracted.
00:59:12.000that that study was attracted to get down so it's not true and i remember i
00:59:14.000covered early on saying i was interesting because there was a lot of
00:59:17.000questions coming out even the washington post entertain lab leaked
00:59:19.000at the time then the study gets retracted that you know ccp says it's
00:59:23.000not true it was wrong and and and we all roll a rise like oh okay
00:59:27.000that guys are only camps now what we get from the wall street journal only
00:59:30.000recently three individuals from the wuhan institute of virology were
00:59:34.000hospitalized for some of the symptoms of nevada research on bats
00:59:37.000We now know from Nature.com, from the scientific study, as reported by The Guardian as well, that they weren't selling bats or pangolins in the wet market.
00:59:44.000So, as the best as we can say, from the lab.
00:59:47.000Let me say something about the Wall Street Journal.
01:00:08.000They're looking because they understand that all roads lead to Wuhan in a biological weapons program.
01:00:16.000Okay, the CCP has had four opportunities to say, hey, we've signed off on the biological weapons treaty, and we're not doing anything in these labs, right?
01:00:25.000Yet, we know that the PLA, it runs the Wuhan lab, okay?
01:00:30.000That everything there is part of a biological weapons program.
01:00:33.000When it got out of control, or they thought it was getting out of control, The major, the female major general that was sent down to Ube province in Wuhan to take command about the third week of January when they quarantined it, was this female major general.
01:00:52.000I mean, this is kind of an open, this is why it's such a clown show, that this is an open secret among the people that have focused on this throughout the world.
01:01:01.000And for liabilities and everything else, you're going to see the mainstream media and all these guys saying, and even Fauci, you know, I was always open-minded.
01:01:07.000Well, no brother, you were not open-minded.
01:01:10.000I'm just wondering why it is that all of a sudden the mainstream media is just saying, okay, Lab League.
01:01:15.000Because their lawyers are telling them, hey, we got a big problem.
01:01:18.000You've been shutting down Tim Pool, you've been shutting down guys on Twitter, you've been shutting down guys on Facebook, you're not having any conversations about either therapeutics, or you're not having any conversations about what this is.
01:01:28.000Think about if we had had an adult conversation.
01:01:30.000Remember, we started World War II pandemic on January 23rd.
01:01:36.000I've lived there, and I'm part of this opposition group with Miles Guo.
01:01:39.000We're up there getting ready for our annual broadcast that we do every year for Lunar New Year, for Chinese New Year.
01:01:47.000And of course, the first day before that, they're going to have the big signing ceremony in the White House in the East Wing on the trade deal.
01:01:53.000So we're sitting there and then afterwards it's Kyle Bass and Bill Gertz.
01:01:57.000I mean, super hardcore, you know, anti-CCP guys.
01:01:59.000We're all going to be part of this traditional three-day broadcast.
01:02:02.000And Miles Gross tells us, oh, well, we're not doing the broadcast this year.
01:02:23.000When I first started hearing a lot of these stories about the censorship, you know, they were saying, don't repeat these things about Lab League, they said Trump was racist for calling it the China virus and all that stuff, and Trump even said Kung Flu.
01:02:34.000My instinct that a lot of people brought up is that the establishment elites are very favorable to China, they want to protect them.
01:02:40.000Now we have this inversion where the narrative is actually, oh, the mainstream media is actually saying, yes, Lab League, and I'm wondering if The Biden administration, Deep State, whatever you want to call it, do they want war with China?
01:02:55.000Why is it that last year they didn't care?
01:02:58.000Was it because they hated Trump so much they wanted to look bad?
01:03:00.000Is it this year they're hoping that these conversations can lead to public... We are at war with China.
01:03:08.000They're in information war, they're in economic war, they've infiltrated every institution in this nation, our political class, Wall Street, they own Wall Street, they're in partnership with Wall Street, global corporations, China, the Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people, and not the nation of China.
01:03:23.000A transnational criminal organization that's just like the Soviets, just like the Nazis, just like the fascists.
01:03:39.000Because they think the foreign devils can beat them, but guess what?
01:03:42.000They're getting to the point if they have to in the South China Sea or if they have to in Taiwan, they're going to come a day that they're going to say, and that day is not too far off, we'll stand up.
01:03:51.000Biden is doing the minimum he has to because he's getting jammed up.
01:03:55.000by working class Americans and other people saying the Chinese Communist Party is the
01:04:27.000Dr. Li Ming-Yang says in 10,000 years, and the Chinese have been very advanced medically, they have never come up with a vaccine.
01:04:35.000How all of a sudden they pop up with a vaccine, regardless of its efficacy, and it ain't great.
01:04:41.000How long were they working on this baby, when all of a sudden it pops up in the spring and summer of 2020?
01:04:47.000I want to ask you, going back to the fourth turnings, we're talking about the potential conflict, now we're getting to the China war stuff.
01:04:53.000There's a recent report that the Pentagon has begun buying bombs, weapons, for use in Pacific warfare as opposed to Middle Eastern warfare.
01:05:02.000We saw a report that the US Air Force started spreading out its resources to various islands throughout the Pacific because they were concerned about single points of failure.
01:05:12.000And this was reported as being in preparation for a strike from China.
01:05:17.000Then we get China sending 28 warplanes, the most they've ever done into Taiwanese defensive airspace.
01:05:22.000Then we get, as an aside sort of, the Russian war games west of Hawaii.
01:05:27.000And I'm wondering if... In your face, by the way.
01:05:34.000The US making these moves We're watching that happen.
01:05:38.000Certainly other things have happened in this conflict that we wouldn't know about before it got to this point, right?
01:05:44.000I guess I'm wondering if these physical and overt signs we're seeing from the Chinese strike groups in the Taiwan Strait, these warplanes, to the U.S.
01:05:50.000making these moves are signs that it's become so obvious war is coming, they're making moves in our face.
01:05:56.000So I said back on Breitbart Radio in 15 when they had the problem with Japan, and remember they cut the rare earths off?
01:06:04.000So they had a problem in the East China Sea with fishing trawlers and fishing, I think it was, and the Chinese cut Japan off of rare earths, which means no semiconductor business, no electronics business.
01:06:15.000And I said at the time, the Japanese worked it out, okay, kind of kowtowed, and they worked it out.
01:06:20.000And I said about these islands are coming up these artificial islands that within five to eight years if we don't stop these guys now with information economic warfare we're gonna be in a shooting war in the South China I patrolled the South China Sea as a young naval officer the South China Sea is the most important body of water in the world it connects The Persian Gulf, Straits of Malacca, with all the markets throughout Asia, it's central to the American economy, and quite frankly, Silicon Valley West, whether you think you have a moral obligation to defend the free Chinese in Taiwan, even if you don't think you have a moral obligation to defend the Judeo-Christian West, you have a hard economic interest.
01:07:00.000All of our advanced chip design is right there.
01:07:02.000We have to defend Taiwan, and our back's being put up by the feckless nature of our elites.
01:07:08.000Let me just tell you, this whole concept of the Thucydides trap, okay?
01:07:12.000This is a concept that the elites believe Henry Kissinger, who's Wang Qishan's best friend, right, the real hatchet man in China, that throughout history, like Sparta and Athens, you had 15 times, you had a declining power and a rising power.
01:07:25.000And, you know, 12 of the 15 times has been a global conflict.
01:07:28.000But if the elites of declining power are smart, you can kind of nudge the rising power in there and you can get them to live.
01:07:36.000I heard that it was, Jake Sullivan said after we won in 16, one of the things he was telling people, I think Fareed Zakhar told me this, that he had said, hey, the one thing that Bannon got right in this thing is that we're not the declining power.
01:07:58.000You know, Xi, when Trump negotiated the big deal, the Lighthizer deal in 19, the spring of 19, that huge deal with the seven verticals that Navarre talked about.
01:08:08.000And Xi and Wang Qishan reviewed that deal in April and May and came back and said, deal off, not doing it.
01:08:14.000The deal was basically, it would restructure the Chinese economy to bring it into the world.
01:08:20.000It would stop their state-owned industries and really destroy the slave labor.
01:08:24.000This deal was the best deal we would ever get with the Chinese to integrate them into the world economy.
01:08:49.000We have to get on a five-year program, because we're at war with these guys.
01:08:53.000and we're either going to kowtow to them or we're going to be able to stand up and we're going to be able to dictate the terms and that's in the spring of 19 is when this is remember uh so many smart people have said this is that geopolitically the most important thing they actually talked about technologically decoupling from america that their own they would build their they would have their own amazons and their own googles and they were technically they would not be uh they would not be for our chip design and all the advanced engineering that we do that they still need they said we're going to get all off of this because we still count out the west so does that spring of 19 is one of the biggest inflection points in this conflict right and everything biden's doing today is all just this is just all happy talk
01:09:34.000You saw the meeting with Blinken, where China said, you're not in a position of strength.
01:09:38.000You are not coming to us from a position of strength.
01:09:41.000So I guess, just to reiterate, you mentioned we may come to the point where there's a kinetic war.
01:09:47.000Let's talk about the Blinken meeting, because they're all about face and formality.
01:11:47.000Our elites are compromised, they're weak, and our enemy, the biggest existential threat we've ever had in the nation's history, So you've mentioned they're compromised.
01:12:01.000Is it possible then that they're just fumbling on purpose so that we avoid Thucydides' trap and China just kind of wedges their way in and we falter?
01:13:25.000They understand what's those bombers coming over there.
01:13:28.000When Russia sends a fleet off of the West Coast, off of Pearl Harbor, is doing exercises in what's called the Hawaiian Op Area, and that's where the U.S.
01:13:48.000You wanna know something interesting I heard, and maybe it's not true, but I think it's true, that exemplifies what you're saying about the working class being the ones who go off and die.
01:13:57.000You know why Smith is the most common last name?
01:14:10.000And when a country was captured, the Smiths wouldn't be executed.
01:14:13.000They would use their knowledge of making weapons to empower their conquerors.
01:14:16.000So naturally, those with the last name Smith were more likely to survive.
01:14:19.000The people who don't go to war, surprisingly, the ones who make the weapons are the ones who continue to live on and expand.
01:14:26.000And I mean no disrespect to anybody named Smith.
01:14:29.000I'm just pointing out that a lot of people are used for cannon fodder by the wealthy elites and the military-industrial complex who are the modern blacksmiths.
01:14:38.000If you want to see anything more than this, look at the disaster in the 20s.
01:14:44.000Our elites sent us to these Middle Eastern wars that were wars of choice.
01:14:48.000You could have cut, as Trump showed with ISIS, you go in there, that state that had come up between Syria and Iraq was more vibrant, more robust.
01:14:58.000He sent, you know, with Mattis, and we got the local guys also to do the fighting, the militias, but we destroyed ISIS, the physical caliphate, in what, a year, year and a half?
01:15:09.000These wars of choice have cost us, according to Brown University, the net present value is $9 trillion.
01:15:17.000Now please, imagine what this nation would be like if you had taken that $9 trillion and you put it into St.
01:17:40.000You got to come home and then you got to tell them.
01:17:43.000If any type of terrorism or terrorism networks were going to come in and destroy it, no questions asked.
01:17:49.000OK, we're going to start acting like adults and stop acting like children.
01:17:53.000And that's what these neoliberal neocons draft off of.
01:17:56.000I heard that one of the first things Donald Trump did when he got in was he said, I want to I want to Afghanistan over within like the first few months.
01:18:12.000The day I left is the day they had the last meeting, because they sat there with President Trump, said, no, the Taliban, they're going to do this, they're going to do that, they're going to come back.
01:18:21.000And also you go back and say, hey, let me see the presentations that were made to the commander in chiefs, because we've been here through all of Bush and Obama, right?
01:18:29.000I want to see the presentations that were made at the critical inflection points.
01:19:03.000The great thing of our revolutionary generation, and that's what I love about the millennials, on the left and the right, the populists on the left and the right, they have a revolutionary spirit that things have to change.
01:19:13.000That's what drove the revolutionary generation to go against the aristocracies of the world and the divine right of kings, that people can actually govern themselves.
01:19:22.000The consent of the governs everything and this is what Afghanistan showed?
01:19:25.000The elites want us to be there and we're going to be there.
01:19:41.000Did Trump say, oh, OK, I guess we have to stay?
01:19:44.000I wasn't there for the final meeting, but the means leading up to that when they kind of put me back on the National Security Council and say, let's come up with three alternatives.
01:19:50.000The alternatives is that withdraw immediately, add troops, which the stain was actually adding people.
01:19:57.000OK, in the middle was let's get a paramilitary CIA.
01:20:41.000Have people in Congress with others sit there and review the FBI, the CIA, and DOD.
01:20:47.000We got to get to the bottom of what our purpose is, what we're trying to do, what's acceptable to do against American citizens in the United States, right?
01:20:56.000What it's acceptable to do overseas, and what our whole purpose is right now, particularly when we have an existential threat in the Chinese Communist Party.
01:21:04.000It's not like, hey, we get a free pass and we can kind of rethink this.
01:21:07.000Remember, if you think about it for a second, just look at the world geopolitically.
01:21:10.000Western Europe, just go around the World Island.
01:21:12.000Western Europe, the Persian Gulf, the South China Sea, and then up to, if you think about a map, up to Northwest around Japan and Korea.
01:21:19.000There's four hotspots around the World Island, which traditionally in the post-World War II world is where we kind of structure this.
01:21:26.000If you look at those sections, It's a combination in every area of capital markets, commercial relationships, trade deals, right?
01:21:40.000Israel, it's built as a security for the Suez Canal, basically.
01:21:43.000The state of Israel is our partner, but that whole area and try to get UAE and Saudi Arabia against, obviously, Iran, which is partners with China.
01:21:51.000But my point is, It's capital markets, trade deals, commercial relationships, and an American security guarantee in all four of them.
01:21:58.000Trump's thing was, hey, it's time for locally, you got to step up to the plate.
01:23:20.000That's what's leading to the destruction of the US dollar.
01:23:22.000That's why people got to start looking at alternative investments.
01:23:24.000And I'm not a prepper, but you would be a fool You would let yourself down.
01:23:31.000You would not do the fiduciary responsibility to yourself or your family if you don't start looking at alternatives that could happen, right?
01:23:37.000You saw this with the collapse of the energy situation in Texas, the fuel situation.
01:23:42.000You have to right now to protect yourself and your family, you have to say, Hey, I'm not a prepper because the preppers get a little scary for me, right?
01:23:50.000But I got, as a logical person, I got to think about food.
01:24:24.000We have small portable backup batteries that we immediately brought upstairs.
01:24:27.000We had like, I think we have like eight of them or more, and we plugged them all in and everything ran just fine.
01:24:32.000It was really hot because you can't really do air conditioning with it, but we managed to do the show and like, we had some light, but we made it work.
01:24:48.000But when we, when I promo these food bins periodically, maybe like once a month or a couple times every other month, the leftists, many of these like left establishment pro, like, I shouldn't say leftists.
01:24:59.000I always try to differentiate between economic leftists and like establishment individuals.
01:25:04.000They just make a game of, haha, Tim's so dumb, he's selling these bins.
01:25:06.000And I'm like, let me, let me ask you something.
01:25:09.000It's like, you have a first aid kit in your house?
01:26:05.000But there are people that are indoctrinated by the media, by this narrative that preppers are all insane, so you should not be prepared for a disaster.
01:26:20.000But the reason that attracted it to me, if you just look at the logic, why would you not have a 30-day fruit supply?
01:26:25.000Given things that happened in Texas, given the things that happened on the East Coast with the gasoline, today, that's what I'm saying, just step back for a second, because they do make the preppers out to be, you know, to be crazy.
01:26:36.000But just step back and just look at the facts.
01:26:39.000Why would you not have a backup generator?
01:26:41.000Why would you not have a 30-day fruit supply?
01:26:43.000Why would you not do the logical things that would put you in a position that you wouldn't have to sit there and wait for government to come and help you?
01:27:00.000We mentioned this the other day in the bonus segment at tbs.com.
01:27:04.000The people in the cities tend to be more liberal.
01:27:07.000They tend to be the ones very, very concerned about climate change.
01:27:10.000They also tend to be the ones that are the least self-sufficient and self-sustaining, and the least likely to actually recycle and compost.
01:27:20.000And you look at conservatives, More likely to live in rural areas.
01:27:24.000Much less likely to be concerned about climate change.
01:27:27.000Much more likely to have their own farms, their own gardens, their own goats, their own chickens.
01:27:30.000To compost and consume less and have their own backup generators and produce wind or solar.
01:29:48.000You basically, you start from nomadic little tribesmen, settlers, and you build civilization, you develop technology, and then the game comes to an end when you have massive countries, borders are pressing upon borders.
01:30:06.000You can take everybody over with force, you can colonize other planets, or there's a cultural victory where your influence spreads so far and wide people just start joining your country.
01:30:15.000You can, in the game, you can actually take over cities and their borders by producing so much culture that the people now feel more represented by you and your way of life than their own country.
01:30:26.000Imagine what happens when the NBA and Blizzard, these video games, are all now defending the CCP, mocking Hong Kong, not letting you buy free Hong Kong gear.
01:30:38.000For those that understand video games, China is going for the cultural victory here, and it's working out fairly well for them for the time being.
01:30:57.000Before we go into superhits, I'll say one more thing.
01:30:59.000If that's hot war, then we're in a hot civil war.
01:31:03.000Trump supporters being banned and purged.
01:31:05.000Some of the highest profile supporters of the man have been completely removed.
01:31:09.000Working class individuals who say learn to code to mock the idea they should give up their jobs and go work in a different industry are all purged.
01:31:17.000The things we can't say on this show will get banned, but hey, I can do a debate with Jack Dorsey and Vijay Agade on the Joe Rogan podcast where I can show them an example of Antifa advocating for extreme violence and they won't remove it.
01:31:31.000But a Trump supporter can make a joke and they're gone.
01:31:50.000Here's the thing is that we can color inside the lines and win this.
01:31:53.000There's a realignment and I think we're going to be able to prove at the end of the day that this vote count on November 3rd and to me that's one of the only things that matter.
01:32:01.000All this other nonsense about you know more voting laws and all this different stuff is a misdirection play in a way for the Republicans and RNC to raise money.
01:32:08.000You got to get to the bottom just like in Wuhan lab.
01:32:11.000You got to get to the bottom of November 3rd and you got to get there with facts.
01:32:30.000I think it's Henry Gonzalez, the smart old Democrat in South Texas.
01:32:34.000He's sitting there going waving the flag saying, guys, if you don't get down here with real policies, the Republicans are going to start sweeping Hispanic, Southern, Texas, South Texas.
01:33:27.000And I'm telling you, this coalition of working class and middle class people, Based around populism and economic nationalism is going to govern this country for a hundred years and we're going to have the fight is not between each other.
01:33:41.000The fight is between a corrupt and distant elite woke globalist elite in the working class and middle class people in this country.
01:33:49.000You can't go at China and defeat them like that.
01:33:51.000It's like two rocket ships each traveling.
01:33:54.000And our goal is, which can be the better rocket ship?
01:33:56.000You don't want to ram into them and destroy.
01:34:06.000If the United States retrofits their economy to build graphene, fast, quick, cheap, sell it across the world.
01:34:11.000I think what we can do, let me know what you think about this.
01:34:13.000Set up a 15 year plan where we build like a university where we Taxpayer funded to go learn how to make graphene after 15 years We make it a utility and all the graphene that's produced there is then free for the citizens to utilize so like the roads Lower the taxes on the roads you put it in car bodies.
01:34:29.000Yeah, the cars are cheaper now it actually this is this is fascinating.
01:35:26.000Those things, and graphene, all that would be part of it, right?
01:35:28.000We should be the leaders in all of that.
01:35:30.000We're the leaders in R&D and in applied research, but we let it be made everywhere else.
01:35:35.000And the great thing of Walshia says, oh, if you do the R&D and you do all that, you're going to create, well, you create the value to a very small band of folks, not to the great bulk of society.
01:36:44.000Them's just happens to be the way the system works.
01:36:48.000Let's jump over to the Super Chats to see what the audience and the questions for many of these individuals here.
01:36:54.000And then as for the more spicier conversations, go to TimCast.com, become a member, because after we wrap up here, about a half an hour or so, we're going to carry on the conversation, which should be published around 11 p.m., and then we're going to ask a bunch of the questions that, you know, YouTube would ban us for, because that's the way the information warfare works.
01:37:10.000So you can check it out at TimCast.com.
01:37:12.000Smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show, and let's read.
01:37:29.000Dr. Rollergator says, if I were a chief strategist and I spent two months in the NSC, I would look up all sorts of intelligence that might be useful for parallel construction when I leave the White House.
01:38:03.000We're going to have one of the congressmen, the Republican congressmen, on the show for a whole hour on Thursday because I want to go through this.
01:38:29.000It's false flagging to raise money for the military.
01:38:32.000But like I said, this is a serious topic, and people have to address it as a serious topic.
01:38:40.000One of the things, let me just step back for a second, besides UFOs, let's go back to that Chinese, Made in China 2025.
01:38:46.000The bigger threat, and the real reason I'm a populist, I said this at a speech a couple years ago in Italy, the convergence of these technologies, the convergence of advanced chip design, artificial intelligence or artificial general intelligence, robotics or regenerative robotics, and basically biotechnology or gene splicing.
01:39:06.000The convergence of those technologies is going to lead to what's called the singularity and then that's going to lead to what is transhumanism.
01:39:43.000Your textiles are paying for a lot of the stuff in DARPA of this research that's going on.
01:39:47.000And nobody, the elites in the world, do not want this discussed whatsoever.
01:39:52.000It's one of the reasons in this new theology of scientism, they do not want the barbarians getting to the temple that is the Wuhan laboratory.
01:40:01.000They don't want any of the barbarians to ever question what the high priests say about the temple that are these research labs.
01:40:08.000And to me, this is one of the new, and it's going to come, it's going to be forced by a populist movement in this country this summer, when the mothers of America, many of whom hate the name Donald Trump, many of whom voted against Donald Trump, many of whom are progressives and they and their husbands got vaccinated, when they get back to school in basically mid-August.
01:40:28.000And according to Fauci, to get to herd immunity, we have to vaccinate the school children, okay?
01:40:33.000Not just the adolescents, but the kids from babies to 10 or 11.
01:40:38.000When those vaccines are going to be put forward, and people know if your kids aren't vaccinated, they're going to be put over here in this corner.
01:40:45.000This is going to be a firestorm and that ties back to this whole system of this scientific kind of priest caste that kind of does this without anybody questioning it and I gotta tell you this situation of transhumanism if we allow as people of the world in particular people the United States to allow what's happening there the same way globalization just kind of came about and all of a sudden it was a thing after 30 or 40 years of being told that that that that that and all of a sudden you had this system That was in place and now you've got to go out and strike against it to dismantle it because it's destroying working class people.
01:41:18.000If the same thing happens with the conversion of these technologies and we're just asleep, trust me.
01:41:25.000Because right now you can see with artificial intelligence, the jobs and the jobs that get crushed are working class jobs.
01:43:38.000Can we actually... Because Libertarians are coaxial Libertarians.
01:43:40.000They believe in open borders, and they believe in free flow of capital, and I don't believe in either.
01:43:44.000You mean big L Libertarian, like the Libertarian Party?
01:43:47.000I mean, the concept of the libertarian, you tell me what else it is besides... On the political spectrum, libertarian meaning less, like there's authoritarianism and libertarianism.
01:43:55.000Libertarianism is focused on the individual and freedom, things like that.
01:43:59.000Whereas authoritarianism is the hierarchies control the system, et cetera, et cetera.
01:44:29.000This is one of the problems with the Libertarian party, is that you have a guy get up on stage and take his pants off, because he thinks Libertarian means he can do whatever he wants.
01:44:49.000So like, is there a point where liberating a country and just letting it go is detrimental?
01:44:55.000Like, you're saying government oversight is important.
01:44:57.000You want Big L libertarians to laissez-faire, you know, corporations will take over.
01:45:01.000But at some point, do you use the militant arm of force to keep people free?
01:45:06.000I hate imperialism, but letting Castro, letting that country go independent and then Castro seizes command is like, I don't, I hate that too.
01:47:07.000So he ran as a joint thing up until the fall of Atlanta on September 1st, 1864.
01:47:14.000Lincoln was losing to McClellan who had been his you know this thing and he thought this thing was over actually signed a thing to his cabinet says if I'm when I'm defeated I don't know if turning power over in March because I'm gonna finish we're gonna finish this rebellion on my watch.
01:47:34.000A lot of suspension of civil liberties when it comes to warfare.
01:47:37.000So when dealing with the internal conflict we face or the potential war with China, is it just reality that people are going to be faced with sacrificing civil liberties when war breaks out?
01:47:49.000Well, war is already broken out, and I think you're already facing civil liberty charges.
01:47:54.000Up until the last two weeks, if you mentioned Wuhan Lab, or the CCP, or that it came, or something like that, you're banned.
01:48:23.000No, but what we really got banned for was putting up the raw footage of the hard drive from hell, which we said, hey, you come for the porn and you stay for the compromise, right?
01:48:34.000You come from all, and we were putting up some pretty tasty stuff.
01:48:40.000That's what they really want to come down.
01:48:42.000That's us losing our liberties in that war.
01:49:41.000We got Keyblade Master Andy says, Tim makes a solid pitch for crypto, but as far as investing, many people like myself don't even know where to begin.
01:50:16.000We try not to be authoritarian, but at some point in time, I don't believe in the total free flow of capital outside the United States, right?
01:50:25.000Because otherwise you say, oh, you're going to increase taxes on the wealthy, they're just going to take all their money out of the United States.
01:50:30.000If you deal with these corporations, well, hey, hang on.
01:50:32.000If you're domiciled here and you live with the blessings of liberty that are provided by working class and middle class people that provide the substrate of civic society, and provide the security not just the police officers and
01:50:47.000the EMTs and the nurses but the military and these veterans and these active duty people
01:50:53.000all over. If you have the blessings of liberty you got to put a little something in the pot okay
01:50:58.000and it shows you the scam. The 25 billion that's what that's where you know and it's it's Merrick Garland
01:51:04.000I think's here the the scam is investigates, this is the page of the Financial Times from the other day, U.S.
01:51:11.000investigates leak of records showing billionaires pay tax hikes.
01:51:15.000It's not investigating the billionaires and why they're not paying the taxes.
01:51:18.000The number one thing, this is U.S., that was Merrick Garland, Joe Biden.
01:51:22.000So all you guys that voted for Biden, embrace this.
01:51:25.000Don't give me your populism and how you're going to do this and you're going to do that.
01:51:31.000And so when the billionaires, the 24 billionaires have paid under 15 billion in taxes over five years, OK, the number one thing Merrick Garland and Joe Biden wants to do is find out who leaked the records.
01:51:42.000You're saying that's just taxes on the books, right?
01:52:31.000I don't agree with this kind of middle ground where you're gonna... I think that people... somebody has to stand up for the working-class people in this country.
01:52:37.000But see, the thing is when you're talking about left and right, you have to figure out where your definitions are.
01:52:42.000Are you talking about the political compass?
01:52:43.000Are you talking about the... There were like four different left and right spectrums ten years ago.
01:52:49.000There was left in terms of hierarchy and right in terms of anarchy.
01:52:52.000It was like very strange how people were defining left and right.
01:52:56.000So typically in the political compass, far-right just means free market.
01:52:59.000That doesn't mean anything other than that.
01:53:00.000And then authoritarian right means like...
01:53:05.000I guess ideological control with a pseudo free market.
01:53:10.000It's very strange how people define what left and right means these days.
01:53:12.000When you say you're very much in favor of defending the working class, the left argues that's far left.
01:53:18.000Except I don't see their policies doing that.
01:53:20.000But first of all, the first thing you say, are you open borders?
01:53:43.000And you're not part of it because you're an elite, right?
01:53:46.000Remember, you have more in common with people in Paris and people in Shanghai and people in London than you do with people in the Rio Grande Valley.
01:54:28.000They've never had any freedom whatsoever.
01:54:30.000They're still under an imperial power which now is a transnational criminal organization.
01:54:34.000So if I have to dedicate my life to fighting for those people and giving those people a voice and working-class people, hey, that's to me, it's a great gig.
01:55:24.000One, we've got a lot of people saying they're no longer getting notifications, even though they've liked the videos, they've subscribed to the channel, and they hit the notification bell, YouTube still does not notify them of the stream.
01:55:33.000Yeah, that could be their thumb on the scale.
01:55:35.000Another big aspect of what's happening is, last year, everybody's locked in their houses, and it's an election year.
01:55:42.000This means that political shows were massive.
01:56:09.000They're not going to be late at night watching these shows.
01:56:11.000So it could just be that a lot of people who were watching politics because it was an election year stopped and now views go down and that's a normal thing.
01:56:19.000You know, a lot of the channels that do culture war stuff, talking about movies and comics, are still seeing, you know, moderate growth.
01:56:25.000My channels tend to be much more political than that, so it's no surprise.
01:56:32.0002023, it'll go down a little bit, but then the presidential election will be kicking into 2023 anyway, so it'll skyrocket.
01:56:37.000This is the year where we just came off a presidential election.
01:56:41.000No one really cares about the midterms yet.
01:56:43.000It's a lull period, so I will say this.
01:56:46.000I do think they put their thumb on the scales.
01:56:48.000I think they keep us out of the mainstream recommendation system.
01:56:52.000Meaning, the only- I think they've quarantined politics on YouTube.
01:56:57.000So that, if you go to YouTube right now in a private tab, you're gonna see Mr. Beast, you're gonna see a bunch of mainstream pop culture.
01:57:03.000They're building that up, and over time, slowly, this political space is going to shrink and shrink and shrink and get smaller, and they're only going to allow certain channels to actually function and operate.
01:57:12.000They're going to find more and more excuses to ban people, and then maybe in five years, channels like this won't exist on YouTube anymore.
01:57:18.000It'll be just a foofy Disney Plus kind of service.
01:57:21.000In which case, while it exists, you need to go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we're going to make our own rivaling streaming platform.
01:57:29.000We are going to do another podcast about unexplained paranormal mysteries, because we want to do more than just news.
01:57:34.000We want to build culture and inspire people, and we want to make sure we have the ability to challenge the establishment media through news, through making culture, through TV shows, through sitcoms.
01:57:44.000We're talking about funding a sitcom, we're talking about short films, mini-docs, all of that stuff.
01:57:48.000And that's what happens when you become a member at TimCast.com.
01:57:50.000You're not just getting access to the stuff, you're helping us fight back by building culture.
01:58:25.000Will we be given a chance to choose a side?
01:58:29.000In mainland China, the only people that can overthrow the Chinese Communist Party are the Chinese people.
01:58:33.000I think you have the diaspora of the Chinese people, about 250 million, three-quarters of which support you, and of course your friends and allies in the West.
01:58:43.000The Chinese Communist Party is going to fall because they're a criminal organization and people are finally identifying and calling out.
01:58:50.000Sir, we hope, and I pray, that civil war does not break out in China, but it won't if the Chinese people put their shoulder to the wheel.
01:58:56.000But what about hot war between the U.S.
01:59:06.000I think that we have to commit ourselves, as populists and nationalists, to make sure we don't get to a shooting war, a kinetic war, with the Chinese Communist Party.
01:59:23.000If we now wake up and force the political class to basically take on China in information warfare, and particularly economic, if we cut them off from capital markets, the dollar, 90 days we could bring this criminal organization to its knees, but we have to have the political will to do it.
02:01:22.000I'll try and read a few more, but I definitely want to get as much time in on the bonus segment as possible, because I feel like that will be particularly spicy.
02:03:06.000Maybe you shouldn't buy Apple products.
02:03:09.000It's also a bunch of other components they make.
02:03:11.000But if Americans love their luxury, why would they ever give that up?
02:03:14.000Well, I think there's a point that we have to have a national commitment to confront and to get our political class and our economic class to confront the Chinese Communist Party.
02:03:22.000We've got to bring some of Foxconn's promised false promises to bring manufacturing back to Wisconsin where the taxpayers of Wisconsin put it up.
02:03:29.000We have to have politicians and we have to have their back.
02:03:37.000Your world's not going to collapse because your iPhone's more.
02:03:41.000But as soon as we get that, you're going to see a balance in the world.
02:03:43.000You're going to see a balance in the world.
02:03:45.000The Chinese are going to be able to manufacture stuff, but they're going to be able to pay people, and they're going to have environmental regulation.
02:03:50.000Remember the big scam in this, in the climate change in the Paris Accord, is they're building more coal-fired factories than they're ever doing.
02:03:57.000They're killing the Chinese people with what the Chinese Communist Party is putting in the environment, right?
02:04:02.000We can, we can solve all that by taking down the Chinese Communist Party, and guess what?
02:04:06.000Bringing manufacturing back here, and hey, It's going to cost more.
02:04:10.000If you're in the Republican Party or the Orthodoxy, they go, Oh, you can't say that.
02:04:14.000You can't say things are going to because people want from a consumerist society.
02:04:19.000We have to change to a production society.
02:04:21.000Once we turn to production society, that's the key that picks the lock.
02:04:25.000The sunlit uplands of a peaceful, prosperous nation are Decades ahead of us, but we have to make that change today, and we can make that change.
02:04:34.000It takes political will, and political will comes from the will of the people to back politicians that will do that.
02:04:40.000Ladies and gentlemen, you need to go to TimCast.com and sign up, because we're going to have a bonus segment talking about a bunch of spicy topics.
02:04:47.000That'll be probably up around 11 or so, but maybe the conversation will end up going long, because I imagine it will be spicy topics.
02:04:53.000But don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel if you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, share the show.
02:04:58.000You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram at TimCastIRL where you can help share our videos because we want to leverage those platforms to get more people to go to TimCast.com.
02:05:07.000I'm hoping that in five or ten years we don't care so much about these social media platforms because we have a massive streaming platform of our own with our own journalists our own independent shows, our own video players, all of
02:05:17.000that good stuff. We need your support to make that happen. All of you who are members right now, you've
02:05:21.000basically made it happen and we're going to keep expanding. We're hiring like crazy and
02:05:25.000we're going to put all of our, we're going to put all the risk up front. We're going to
02:05:29.000assume that because, look, with the success of this platform, I do not wish to buy an
02:05:32.000infinity pool. I know it breaks Ian's heart. I would like one. I want to hire another journalist.
02:05:39.000I want to challenge the establishment.
02:05:41.000If, at the end of my life, I were to look back at the things I owned, I would not be happy with a car.
02:05:47.000I'd be happy with a team of a bunch of news reports that came out that had an impact that helped improve the world and made people's lives better.
02:07:18.000So you guys should all tune in to Steve's podcast for sure.
02:07:21.000I'm going to have to listen to that on the way home and probably to this episode again because I don't feel like I caught everything that we talked about.
